AiIICIiZCd V LtllV INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, FEB. 8. THE PEOPLE V. HESEKIAH WADSWORTH AND JOHN DOUGLAS. CONSPIRACY TO DEFAIALTD MRS S. STARTIN. It appeared on the' trial that the following let ter was write ,n by the prisoners, put into the Poit. 0tEc!. ,, ,, and carried by the Penny Post to Mrs. Stattin New York, Feb. 4, 'S 2. " Madam—lt is through necessity I am now ad (liessine you, and it is for the sum of four hundred dollars, which you are to deposit at the back of the Panorama, re dr tee house, and there you will find two or three bricks piled'on each other. Be careful to find the place exact; said sum we expeot you will deposit on the s th day of this month, exaelly at eight ....clock in the evening, s.iid money to be in gold, or at l 4st one half, and the rest to be silver. In case or ,eutee on your part, you may be certain of fire er poison. We arse desperate on account of inifittoretne ; there is eight in number of us; you will neii:.er mention or sbew this to any one; if you do you may expect the same, and you will de posit the money yourself. You may depend on it, not even the atm of the Lord gill save you in case of eegletA or discovery." When the letter was received by Mrs. Startin she was very much alarmed. Having consulted some friends and the police officers, she was advised to prepare a bag and put something 'in it, having the appearance of money, and deposit it in the place appointed. She accordingly took a bag, containing thirty-six cents and Rhode Island coal, and placed it under the bricks' on the spot designated in the above let trr. Mr. Warner, and three officers of the Police, secreted themselves near the Panorama, and when the prisoners took away the supposed booth apprehended them, and found the bag in the posses sion of Wadsworth. In Wadsworth's pocktt was found a letter from the Secretary of War, notifying him that he had been appointed an Ensign in the fourth Regiment of Infantry, about to be raised by the United States. -The prisoners had no Counsel, and the case being perfectly plain, the cause was submitted to the Jury without argument. They were both found guilty. Their punishment cannot exceed three years confinement in dm City Prison. ASSIZES. CHELMSFORD, MARCH U.—Thomas Styles and Wrn.Pryor were indicted for bteaking into the dwell ing-house of William Cakebread, at Latton, in this county, no person being therein, and stealing one hundred guinece , , several Bank notes, and other property. The pro-ecutor stated, that on - Sunday, the 12th of January, ht.:. and his wife went to Meeting about four o'clock in the afternoon, locking up the It -ase, and leaving no person therein. When he returned home, and hid opened the- outer tipor, he foun.! that an inner door had been opened—and, looking further, he discovered tat nis bureau was forced open, out of which "as taken a canvass bag, o.in taining about 100 or 104 guineas ; a butch had also been forced open, from which was taken several B notes, among which were one Romford Bank note, a little torn at the cornet, and a Cambridge note. Wiole be was at Chapel, he observed Joseph Barnard (an accomplice) come into the Chapel, and look hard into the pew where he and his wife sat. Joseph Barnard.(the accomplice) stated, OA on the mottling of the robbery, Styles came to his fa ther's hou.,e, which was near Styles's father's, and proposed that they should do the robbery at Mr.- Cakebread's that evening ; which, he said, he re fused in joining—but he agreed to go to the Chapel, to keep a watch upon Mr. Cakebtead, and to give notice if he came out upon them. He accordingly went to the Chapel, when he saw the prosecutor in leis pew. He afterwards saw Styles and Pryor;— they told him they had taken out a window, and Stylcs said he had let in Pryor at the back door.— They spewed him the bag of guineas and the notes; they took two guineas each, and afterwards hid the remainder in an oven. He had furnished Styles with a bill and a fork before they went, and Styles told him where they had hid the bill and fork. A few days afterwards Styles was taken up on suspi cion ; and he was himself also apprehended a few days afterwards: As.soon as he was apprehended he told all he knew of the robbery. This witness was confirmed as to the finding the fork, the bill, and the money, as Styles had related to him ; but there was no confirmation of his testi mony as against Pryor. The Gioler also proved that, while Styles was in custody, lie intercepted a letter from the prisoner, in which he advised bun to be silent, and " not say nothing, butt burn it. The LouD CHIEF BARON, in qrrnming up, told the Jury they ought not to convict upon tire evidence of an accomplice, except as far as he was Confirmed; end observed, there did not seen any confirmation of Barnard's testimony against Pryor. The Jury found Styles Guilty, and acquitted Pryor. Edward Smith and Harriet Horn were indiaed for burglariously breaking and entering the dwell• ing- house of W. Garrett, at Hornchurch, in, this county, and stealing a great variety of articles of wearing apparel. Mr. WALFORD stated the case, as Counsel for the prosecution, which was proved as follows : The wife of the pro..ecutor took in washing,_ and the articles stolen_ were most of them sent to her for the purpose of being washed. On the morning of the iotlber, in the month of September last, she awaked about four .o'clock, and lay awake until six, 'when she got up; she then discovered that the win dow frame had. been broken in the night, and the house robbed of those articles which she was about preparing to wash. The landlady of the Rose and Crown, at Ilford, stated, that the two prisoners came to her 'house on the morning of - the robbery, and took some-refresh 'nem, and went to town from her house by one of the farmers_ putatoe carts. Inquiries were made of er them in the course_ of the day, but she could not give any clue where to find theni. They cattle to her house again in about three weeks; and at first blie.did not tecolle6l them, but afteiwards she djcl, and gave notice to the COnstable, who came and took them into custody. The Constable proved that a shirt was found on the man, part of the stolen property, and the wo man had also a pair of the stolen stockings. The man, after he was taken, attempted to secrete two handkerchiefs, which also turned out to be part of the things stolen. Upon searching their lodgings afterwards, it Golden-lane, other parts of the pro perty we , e found. The Jury found them both Guilty. OXFORD.—On Friday was tried a cause of assault, &c. committed :on a traveller, in August, 1 8 10, at an Inn in the counfy of Oxford. The prosecutor, 1N(Ir. George Dunman, who con duaed hiS own cause, said; that the defendants, not satisfied with defrauding his horse of his food, by selling corn short of. measure, • out' of revenge for his proSecuting them to copviaion in the full penalty, and having their corn - and false measures seizecrand forfeited, did, on his return to the Inn, charge him 86. for half a peck of oats, and is. for little more than a quarter of a peck, which latter were detained by the Magistrates, and though the former were had by his horse at one feed, he ob jeaed to it as an extortionate charge, but the land lady, daughter, and nephew detained his horse and gig till it Was paid . ; and after that repeated their abuse, accompanied' by an assault and riot, which was suppressed by the Magistrate. He was sorry to give any unusual trouble, but requested that every witness should be ordered out of Court, that one might not copy the evidence of another, from the conviaion that nothing could shake his ca,,se but perjury. The Judge ordered all the witnesses out of Court, while the prosecutor was on oath tedeating his staternfra ; and the defendants' Counsel interposed, rtquesting permiSsion to offer terms including all expences, and a handsome apology in Cuort, ac knowledging guilt and contrition ; to which the prosecutor replied, that his sole objea being to car red the fraudulent praaice of Inn-keepers in cheat ing travellers, by selling corn deficient in measure, and eft - ea a reform in their future conduct, he would forgive them, and ~ c cept the otter. The Judge di rected the Jerry to return a verdict of Guilty against the prisoners, which they did ; and his Lordship said, " The Counsel for the dektylants have acted very wisely by iiitercecii.-g for their clients, for had the prosecutor proceeded to conviction, I should have inflicre't a very severe and exemplary punish meet. I arr. glad ',hat this prosecution has been carried on •,•itl; 51 ch spirit by the. prosecutor, who is entitled ft:the thanks of the public; and I hope this is ill be a lesson to Inn-keepers, sufficient to convince. them, that they are not only to avoid sell ing corn snort e: me.vure for horses placed under their protection, but also bound to behave with civility, as becomes their situation, to every cus tomer Ito comes to their house." The prisonets' Counsel, atter a very handsome apology in, the public Court, expressed their entire approbation of the liberality of the prosecutor, in f(), °caring to proceed to extremity. The charge made wris after the rate of 01. 12s. per quarter for oats, which at that time were sold by the farmer at about 28s. and blending the whole charge, viz. the 3s. and Is. (together 45.) was after the rate of 121. 16s. per quarter. CIVIL SIDE. On the Citil Side, the Special Jury Causes were not interesting, except to the parties concerned. SIR CHARLES ELICKE (nominally) v. DUDLEY. This cause came on for re-heating before a Spe cial Jury, when nearly the same evidence was ad duced, reTeaing the fall of timber, as on the former trial. On the close of the plaintiff's case, Mr. Justice GROSE observed, that he could not but think that this question was fitter for reference, than the decision of a Jury. He remembered the arguments on the several affidavits in this cause, in the Court of King's Bench, and that the Court re commended a reference. His Lordship said, he continued in the same opinion ; besides, "consider able difficulty must arise, if it was thought neces sary for the Jury to take a view. Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD here stated, that it had always been the disposition of his client, the Rev. Dr. Dudley, to be guided by this opinion of the Court, who had in consequence proposed krefer ence through his Solicitor, which was rejected on the part of the plaintiff. 'Mr. GARROW, on the other side, after some con sultation, consented io a reference on the part of Major Hay. . . . On this, Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD said, be thought it right to remark, that considering how this ques tion had formerly been brought on by surprise, in the absence of his client in Ireland, it became ne cessary for him to shew, that the aalual number of trees felled had been cut down under the authority of Sir Charles Blicke himself, as agent La Mts. Allen, who directed him to grant her permission to fell the timber necessary to cover the expenses of the various repairs on the estate, which she should have done herself, and for which a quantity of oak timber had been felled the year before, but was car ried off and sold by Mrs. Allen, just before Dri Dudley took possession ; and that this leave Sir C. Blicke fully acknowledges to have been given him, by his answers to the two bills in equity, then in Court It was also farther necessary to observe, that Dr. udley and his sub-tenant had expended 13 Above 20 I. on such repairs, more than the sum de, rived from the commutation of the timber, &c. in tended for these purposes. The grounds of reference were_then adjusted between the Counsel, and Mr. Bolland was nominated referee, with full power, to decide upon ail the points, both at law, and in equi ty, of this complicated case. THURSDAY, MARCH 12. THE REV. DR. DUDLEY V. ALSTOSIE. This was an action, tried by a Special Jury, to eject, the defendant out of two extensive marsh farmS in Tillingharn and - Bradwell, on a breach of covenant, by subletting the said farms without con sent or privity of the plaintiff. A verdict was given for the plaintiff. _ aru LONDON : Printed by 1 HOMAS WOOD, ci No. 35, Maiden-lane, Covent garden ; At the Sun( Ounce . , No, 112, Stral.d, where Advertisernents, Ordrrs 40101E6 OP 1 u LATii HENRY ILILLMiII BUNBURY,SQ. kenry William iitinbury so universally celebrat ed for his genius, taste, and skill, in the fine arts, more particularly in the lined caricature pa;nting, died in May 18 1 1 , at his residence near Keswick, near Cumberland, having completed tie age of somewhat more than threescore years. He was the youngest son of the Rev. Sir MTHNam unbary, Bart. of Mildenhall and Great Barton, Suffolk, and Stanvey and Bunbury, in the county .of Chester, some time Fellow of Cathetine Hall, Cambridge, who died in 1764 ; his eldest son Tho mas Charles, then twenty-four years of age, succeed ing to the title and estates. Mr. Henry Bunbury, the immediate subject of this memoir, was educated at Westminster School, and finished his studies at Catherine Hall, Cain-. bridge. Pursuing the bent of his inclinations for the Muses; and an ardent disposition for ,the cultivation of the fine arts, for which he discovered an early and most happy genius, he never engaged in any profession or public employment. He was once married to Catherine, the younger sister of the late General Horneck, who has 'been dead many years. This marriage produced two sons. Charles, who had a troop in General G. Aroyne's regiment of ca valry, and who died while serving in India. Henry Edward, a Colonel in thti army, who aeled as Quar ter-master-General at (he battle of Maida, and at pr.eien! fills the employment 'of Under-Secretary of Sate for Ore War D,-partment. Mr. Buributy's former residence was at Bars( St. Edmund's, in Suffolk, also at Batton, where he bed a house near his brother. But. his visits to the Lakes 0f Cumberland and Westmoreland had so impressed his susceptible imagioation with the pic turesque beauties and grandeur of the romantic sce nery, that he at length determined on the erection of a house at Keswick, whe - re he could enjoy his fa- YOU:ite water and mountain views, during the sum mer and :iutumnai mouths. He had just completed his building, and was engaged in providing the fur niture, when he received that summons to an eter mansion against which no flesh can appeal. The solicitude of a most affeEtinnate brother to remove him to Suffolk into the bosom Of his family, unhap pily proved fruitless. It would be difficult to fix upon any individual of our times, who was more cordially esteemed. and beloved in the circle of his frieeds, or more gene rally acceptable where he was known, than Henry Bunbury. He possessed, indeed, his full share of the family good nature, and kindness of heart, which in an especial manner attraaed towards him the attachment and respeEt of the lower classes. But his personal chargier will appear to more advantage, with more truth and exactness, as well as more warmth of delineation, when proceeding from the pen of an old and most intimate friend, of fifty years standing : He was distinguished at a very early age by a most extraordinary degree of taste and knowledge in the fine arts. The produClions of his pencil have from his childhood, been the admiration and delight of the public. The exquisite humour of some of his drawings, and the grace and elegance of the rest, were unrivalled ; and he is, perhaps, the only in stance in which the excellence of such various and opposite characters has been united, in the same subjed, in an equal degree. But, though he pos sessed in this respect a peculiar genius, he neg leded no branch of polite literature. He was a good classical scholar, and smit with the love of sacred song.' The Muse were to him dukes ante omnia.' He was an excellent judge of poetry, and the speci me►.s remaining of his own composition put it be yond a doubt that he would have been eminent in that delightful art, if his natural ;modesty, under rating his own powers, bad not prevented him from pursuing it with more application. His social and moral qualities,. whilst any of those remain who shared his friendship, will continue the objet of fond admiration and regret. No ribaldry, no pro faneness, no ill-natured censure, ever flowed from his lips; but his conversation abounded in humour aria pleasantry ; it was charming to persons of all descriptions. His feelings were the most benevo lent, his afitaions the most delicate, his heart • the most sincere. He was Void of all affectation, alive to praise, but not obtrusively courting it. Consci ous, but not ostentatious of merit, of unblemished honour ; full of that piety which influences the heart, and seeks the witness, not of the world, but of God. All who had the slightest acquaintance with him will bear witness to the extraordinary ten derness of his disposition, to his kind and aatiee friendship, to his universal benevolence, praCtically displayed throughout the whole of his terrestrial ex istence." To these really charaaeristic traits, which have been seleaed from known and good authority, need only be added, he loved the social enjoyment of his bottle with his friend. The caricature paintings of Bunbury have long since passed the ordeal, and received the full sanaion of public Opinion.- The truth and reality of his ge nius had a professional voucher, whose ability to de cide no one will he disposped to controvert. On its first appearance, Sir Joshua Reynolds declared to a friend, that Mr. Banbury's Barber's-shop was one of the best drawings he had ever seen, and that it would be admired in every age and every country. He was truly an original, and that principle of the vis comiea, with which his mind was naturally im pressed, as . well as his style and manner of execu tion, were peculiarly his own. He possessed the magic power; with his pencil; to touch the chords of risibility in every human breast, where such existed. and to draw forth instantaneous and congenial sen sations. He was from nature so complete a master of the res (udicra, that, whatever his pencil intend-' ed for a burlesque, must inevitably prove such to every human eye ; an indubitable test of genius, and in some sort independent of technical, precision in th,e execution. On this ground, doubtless,- the judgment of Sir Joshua Reynolds rested. Genuine irresistible humour flowed also through the pen . as well as the pencil of Bunbury, as every reader, im bued with a moderate portion of the animal risibile, will find himself involuntarily ready to acknowledge, in a perusal of the sage directions for bad horsemen, by Professor Geoffry Gambado. In the delineation of piduresque and mountain Scenery, he drew with the band of a master ; his performanzes of tat kind art full of enthusiasm, nature, and teste, a;)d e?.tretnely valued b their p&.ses"Sors. it may be §afely averred, 1.-villever be the case with his wok in general; of which it is ftgretted that a list cann , it here be given, accompanied . %Alin specimens of poetic talent ; both which deiderata it is intended to supply on some future occasion.
