Head -Tim - tees, Halifax, June 10, 1812, GENERIAL ORDERS. At a General Court-Martial, held at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the 27th of May, 1812, and con tinued by adjournments to the Bth of June, Cap tain George Shore, commanding a detachment of the 104th - . Regiment, `stationed at Charlotte Town, Prirrce Edward Island, was arraigned. upon eight separate charges, exhibited against him by order of his Excellency Joseph Frederick Wallet Des Ilarres, Colonel in the Army, and Lieutenant- GOvernor, commanding -his Majesty's Forces in the said Island. The First Charge was=-For having removed a sentry from the important post of George's Battery, and from the Maga zine, in direct dhtobedience of orders. - The Second Charge—For disobedience of orders, in allow ing, men or hit deti,oment to work for inhabitants,. &c• The Third Cha - .l7:—For having absolutely disobeyed a gar rison order. The Fourth Charge—FOr having made false. reports to the Lieutenant-Governor. The 'Fifth having framed a statement of his men's complaints made to him, rad for' having forwarded it to his Commanding Officer, containing a wild fabrication of mischievous faliehoods and vile perversions, relative to pro ceedings wickedly represented by the said" Captain Shore, and preposterously pretended to have taken place in Prince Ed ward Island, te.:c. The Sixth Charge=--That Cd'etain Shore did, in his state ment, make use of sundry expressions, tending to.Ofarne the character of the Lieutenant-Onveruot, &c. The Seventh Charge—That Captain Shore did exhibit a contumelious disposition, to frustrate the objects of an in vestigation, directed to be made by the lieutenant-Gover zior, &c. The Eighth Charge—That Captain Shore did evince his propensity to'diSseininate and foster the seeds of a dangerous spirit, of insubordination and ninthly; and that the said Cap tain S. did treat the Lictitenant-(iovernor's letters written to him, with contumelious scurrility, &c. 'All which conduct on the part of the said Cap tain Shore tending to excite a spirit of mutiny and insubordination among the troops in this gar rison, being unjustifiable td his character as an Officer, greatly injurious and derogatory td the honour, dignity, and welfare of his Majesty's ser vice, prejudicial to good order and milimry disci plinf, and contrary to the Articles of War. The Court Martial, after the most attentive con :.i,l.rotion of the evidence applicable to the charges exhibited against Captain George Shore, of the 104th regiment, together with the prisoner's de fence, and evidence adduced in support thereof, is of opinion, that—He is not guilty of the first charge. On the second charge, the Court is of opiniii, that the Prisoner did disobey the Garrison Order of 9th July, 1809, but as that Garrison Order :s founded on a General Order, which does not exist, and as the prisoner did 'moreover receive instrue-; tions from the Head-quarters of his Regiment, which appeared to him fully to authorise his-al lowing men to work -; and further, as it has not been shown ,that he wantonly encouraged, or that the irregularities did take place as expressed in this charge, the Court does, thefefore, acquit • it is .further of opinion, on the third,4, fourth, fifth; sixth, seventh, and eighth charges, he is not guilty. The Court does, therefore, most fully and ho nourably acquit the said Captain George Shore ; of the 104th Regiment, of all and each of the .charges exhibited against him. The Lieutenant-General Commanding is pleas! ed to approve of the • above sentence, and to direct , the Deputy Adjutant-General to rnalce known the same to the prisoner, Captain George shore, of the 104th Regiment; who is then town.' • eider himself as released from his arrest.

Sir ARTHUR PIG OTT stated, that this was a Pe tition to his Lordship that he would order.the pe titioner hi , 3 costs, on an issue directed by that Court to be tried in the Court of King's Bench, under the following circumstances :—The peti, tioner was the Assignee of the Bankrupt, and the question at issue was, to.try whether the Bank rupt had been legally made one, .as the petition ing Creditta had sworn - to a simple debt, at the same time he had an execution out against the Bankrupt. The Court and Jury were of opinion, as an ex ecution had been taken out, the petitioning Cre ditor had not a right to swear to a simple con tract debt. _ The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the Assignee entitled to his 'costs, therefore ordered the taxed costs, ninety-five pounds, should be paid to the Petitioner. , His Lordship sat until ten o'clock at night. NORWICH ASSIZES. On Monday se'nnight Sir tames Mansfield and Mr. Justice Heath arrived at Norwich, before whom the commission for holding the Assizes. were opened at the. Shire-house and Guildhall. MARIA GONVAD V. JOHN BUCKENHAM. This was an action in consequence of the de- . fenaant having, after a promise of marriage to the plaintiff, made default therein, and married. another woman. The evidence on the part-Of the plaintiff established the courtship between the parties, and it appeared that even that part . of the . previous ceremony, the hairs, had been .published at the parish church of Lakenhain, iitit the parties not residing there, it was considered irregular, aid the defendant alleged his intention 'of naarryilg . her by license. 'the subsequent marriage of the defendant at Besthorpe, with Sophia Liminer, be 7 ing proved, as also various other acts necessary to 'establish the ground of action, the Jury gave a verdict fOr the plaintiff, With COI. damages. TJPCIIE,R V. BATS. _ . The plaintiif is a wealthy gentleman, residing at Toinpson, in this county, and the defendant . a farmer in the neighbourhood. The action was brought to recover damages the loss of a grey hound of the plaintiff's named Plantagenet,whose death the defendant had occasioned.. It was proved, that on the 26th - of 'November 'last, the defendant's dog was attacked` by several of the plaintiff 's, and that . the defendant stoned them in defence of his own ; but it likewise appeared that ha.vingssucceeded in dispersing the plaintiff's dogs, and after his dog had run away, the de fendant threw a large stone at the greyhound in question, and broke his leg, so that he Was rendered useless, and was killed on account of his fufferings. The intrinsic value of the deceased Plantagenet was proved to be 20 guineas.---Ver dict for plaintiff, damages 40s. LOOSE V. COYEMAN. This action was commenced to obtain damages goßtained by the plaintiff, who is a farmer at Field (falling, through the loss of service, from the se duction of his daughter On the part of the plain tiff, nothing appeared to exaggerate this case, or throw any culpability- upon the Defendant, who is the son of a respectable farmer in the same town. But from the evidence of the Ministcr.of the pa rish, it evidently placed him in the situation of being desirotA to make her an ample compensa tion.by marriage, and the only obstacle which ap pears to have been in the way, was the rigid in flexibility of theplaintiff. It however being proved that .16ss of service was incurred, with other ex penses' necessarily attending these cases, the Jury founka verdict for-the plaintiff, damages 201. At the 16t Assizes., for the county of Deyon, a cause was tried, .in which Ann Braund and Tho mas- Braund, Executors of William Braund, de ceased), were plaintiffs, and Arthur Kelly, jun. Richard Eastcott, and. John Holman Lang,' the partners of the late Tamar Bank, at Launceeto - n, were defendants. The action was brought by the executors, for recovery of the sum of 1501. and in terest, secured by a promissory note, dated the 21st of March, 1810, entered into by -Mr. Benedictus Marwood Kelly, attorney-at-law, of, Holsworthy, as agent to the defendants, which note was payable 21 days after sight, to William Braund or order, .with interest at the rate of three per cent. per annum, to the day of acceptance ; if left one year, to pa'y three and a half per cent. The plaintiff's counsel having proved their case, the counsel for the defendants called, as witnesses, Mr. Kelly, the agent, and Miss Juliana. Kelly, his \ daughter, and the account which they gave, was, that about a month or six weeks after the promis sory note was entered into, William Braund, the testator, applied to Mr'. Kelly, the agent, for re payment of the money, without bringing the note with him, or without having previously tendered it- ,for acceptance, and that Mr. Kelly paid Braund, the testator, the 1501. all in one pound Tamar notes,, on Braund's pronlise to burn or des 7 troy the promissory note as soon as he got home - t that the Tamar notes were counted four times, but no receipt or memorandum was signed by Braund for the money, and that,'his pocket-book not being large enough to hold the Tamar notes, Braund tied them in his pocket-handkerchief, and his pocket, wherein the handkerchief was put, was afterwardis pinned.with three pins, by lips Juliana Kelly. After some deliberation, the Jury return ed a verdict for the defendants. _ _ ExEcuTtoN.--On Wednesday last, Benjamin ,Renshaw suffered the sentence of the law on the 'gallows near Nottingham, for setting fire to a stack belonging, to Mr. Charles Stanton, .and .!laughtering a ram, the property of Mr. Isaac Dodsley, both of Mansfield. About eleven o'clock -lie left the prison, and was placed in a cart, ac companied by the executioner, and a respect able Gentleman, who had daily visited / him dur ing his condemnation. The concourse of spec tators was unusually great, to witness the awful castastrophe. When arrived. at the fatal tree, and some time had been spent in sing- . ing and prayer, Renshaw himself prayed with ae aulible voice, and afterwards addressed the multitude for tbe space of fifteen or fwenty minutes, exorting them to avoid evil company such forti tude, unshaken confidence, and composure, were „ scarcely ever witnessed. After be had been turned off, the noose of the'rope moved under his chin, and it was deemed proper to put him into the cart, that the rope might be ad justed afresh, after_ which he was turned off again. This circumstance oeeasioned a consider . able sensation among the spectators, who generally expressed their abhorrence at the executioner, to whose carelessness they . attributed the accident. — After hanging the usual time, his body was given to his friends for interment at Mansfield.—The unfortunate man made all the atonement in his power for his violation of the laws, by a full con fession of his crimes; he has left a wife and seve ral Children. Four fine children, beloning to Rich. Builth. a day labourer, of Abbeydore, were consumed by fire in their f'ather's cottage, on Thursday seri- night. Their mother• had hired herself at a neigh bour's house to bake bread, and left her childre❑ in the cottage, desiring the oldest, who was only five years of age, to take, care of the other's, the youngest of whom was a sucking child. It, could not be known how the house caught fire, for the whole was in a conflagration .before it was dis, covered. In a case of such accumulated misery the parish have liberally subscribed .to relieve the unfortunate parents. - ipOINIDON: Milted by TifONLIS WOOD, of Igo 85, Maiden-laue, Covent-garden ; w and Publisiwd by WILLIAM ARNIICAR aa Gr ( o 4. %z sd o e r-s e qua;c:, At the 5-ux Q!•FI. / GE, 112, straxil, *lare..Advertrn isoentv, Oideq fGor tl*e l'aper, L etters to the Lt.ptor, ToLlcr,.

A tall miserable man ,was brought up for ase cdnd examination, charged with breaking out of Cripplegate Workhotise after midnight, by climb s ing,over the paling. The Master of the Work house stated, that after-the man had escaped, he, refused him admittance ; but the principal object in bringing him before the Alderman, was to dis cover whether he had not stolen a large quantity Of lead, which had been cut and carried off from the premises, The defendant Was`supposed to be insane, or one who presented insanity,lie told the Master of the Workhouse that •he was mad, do Nvirit he thought proper. and commit murder syWyrut 'suffering any punsdunent: . plc was remanded for tnrther examination this day.

He denied has inch thrown .it down, but as no person was near at .the-time, the watchman conchided he had broken it, and took him- 'into custody. • The Alderman repro bated the act, but did not consider it within his authority to inflict punishment for such offences, and as the watchman had not seen the defendant 'break the stone, he-was . discharged.

This testimony was-also corroborated by the servant girl. Seve ral respectable witnesses were then called, who clearly proved an . alibi ; and that on the evening alluded to, when the above transaction took place, the prisoner was at the time in Princes-street, Leicester-fields. This alibi being perfectly satis factory to the Magistrate and the Solicitor of the Bank, the prisoner, after a confinement of several days on this account, was discharged.
