The LORD eIIAIiCELLOR. sugg►estetl to Bar the propriety of postponing for the present all motions of any length, and of proceeding only with such as respected the payment of money out of Court. It was his intention, he said, tom on the lunatic and bankrupt petitions on . Saturday,. and to go on with them without interruption until they were disposed of, whatever other motions might intervene. As soon as he should have got through the petition paper, however, he would hear any appli. cation, provided it was brought forward previous to the 16th of August, but after that day he would not sit to please any man. He had not the slightest doubt but that there were Gentlemen now employing themselves elsewhere, and on other business, in stead of attending this Court,. and that when the sittings were nearly at a close they would pour in their motions altoeether. This, however, he begged to say lie could not allow. His last observation was not made in reference to the Gentlemen at the bar ; for whom, during a long judicial life, he had received every attention and assistance. _ According to this intimation mere moriermotions were the order of the day. _ VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JLTLY 31. REV. STANLEY V. SOTYTHERN. Mr. PATIKE n. this morning stated that he had affidavits, from which it appeared that notice of this motion had not been regu, lardy served on the defendant. 'The VICE-CHANCELLOR read the affidavits, and did not think they could support an objection to the service of the notice of motion. • . Mr. PAILKEIt then produced affidavits which denied that the defendant had used the expressions imputed to him, but ad mitted that the defendant had disobeyed the injunction. The affidavits went on to state circumstances which • The VrcE-CitaNcEz.t.ou said it had nothing to do with the case. The defendant had been guilty of gross disobedience to the injunction, and the order for an attachment must be made absolute. VESEY V. SWEET AND ANOTHER. In this case an injunction was moved for to restrain defend. ant froth publishing a pirated edition of the law reports of the plaintiff, Mr. Vesey. Mr. IVETHERELL, for the defendant, contended, that this was a mere abridgement, and cited the case of Hell and Halms, among others, to prove that a properly executed abridgment WWI in Ilia a new work. Allowing that it were not an abridg ment, it was possible that it might co dyfer from the original work, in matter, size, and price, as to be any thing rather than a piracy. Mr. Ha Astro, for the plaintiff; referred particularly to p.age 208 of the work published by the defendant, and said that his client, 31r. Vow)+, complained particularly of this passage as being in every respect the counterpart of a passagein his own work. To this fact .I.lr. Vesey had sworn. The Vi ANCELIDH said he had looked at the two pas. sages and was of opinion that they w ere exiut ly s i m il ar . H e couldnot, therefore, look upon this work as an abridgment. Mr. WETHERELL objected to this passage being looked upon as a sample of the whole work. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, the proper mode would be to refer the case to the Master, that he might compare both works, and make his report upon them. Mr. H EAMES hoped his Honour would grant the injunction In the mean time. The VICE 0111NCELLOR—" Tem the injunction." ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. LEWES, JULY 30. Sarah Dation was charged with the wilful murder of a new.. born male bastard child, at the parish of Subdeanery of Chi chester. The prisoner, who appeared to, be about thirty years of age; seemed to be labouring under extrer:le anguish. She was dressed in black, and the Learned Jud:..;e ' , matted her to have cliWtitirthr the triverafgation bf i:t, The details of the cssc would be merely disagreeable with out presetting Any peculiarity , of eirvanistances. It was sop. posed, from the appearances in the body of the child, that it was strangled, but the surgeon was of opinion that this mi g ht possibly have h a pp ene d by% accident. The prisoner, when culled on for her defence, only said, the child was not born alive. The Learned Wilcox informed the Jury, that by a late Statnte, it was provided, that if the Jury were of opinion the prisoner was innocent of the crime of murder, they were to say if she was guilty of concealing the birth. The Jury consulted for abut a quarter of an hour, when they found the prisoner Not Guilty of Murder, but Guilty of ' concealing the birth, Mr. Baron GRAHAM then addressed the prisoner a follows :-- " Sarah Bacon, you stand convicted by a verdict pronounced by a Jury of your country, not indeed of the heavy charge which this indictment prefers against you, and which the humanity of the Jury has prevented them from finding against you, but they find you Guilty of having endeavoured to conceal the birth of the child of which you were delivered. You cannot but be aware, and perhaps you may be conscious yourself of the great extent of mischief that has ensued from that unpardonable in discretion, at least —to call it by no harder name. When I look to the circumstances of your case, and look to its consequences, I cannot but consider your offence as a grave and Serious one, even in the mitigated character in which it is now brought for ward against you. I feel it my duty, therefore, to sentence you to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for the space of twelve mlendor months." SHREWSBURY, .TVEBDAY, JULY 29. THE KINK V. WIIITCOMBE. This was an indictment against the defendant, for miscon duct in the discharge of his office of Coroner,; first, for unlaw fully calling before him, before swearing in the Jury, divers persons, and inquiring the means and manner of the death of Mrs. Newton ; secondly, that before swearing in the Jury, he conversed and had communication with John Newton, the hus band, well knowing him to be suspected of having caused the death of his wife, by violent means, and undertook to persuade :the Jury he did not cause the death by violent or unlawful means ; the third, for the dismissal of twelve of the Jurymen fourthly, that Mr. Coley examined the body of the deceased, and had deposed, that there was a bruise and laceration in a certain part of the body, which was the cause of the death ; ne vertheless, that he (the Coroner) endeavoured to convince the Jury the cause was different and eatural; the fifth charge was, that the Jury had opportunities of viewing the body of, the de ceased, but were prevented by him. Mr. PEARtioN opened the ease on thepart of the Crown, and called the following witnesses : Elizabeth Ward said, she was in the habit of visiting New. ton's ; Mrs. Newton died on the. 2tlth of January, at Apsley; on 'Wednesday, the 27th, 1 was at Severn Hall, on the fore noon ; a short time after I had been there, Mr. Whitcombe, the Coroner, came; he went into the parlour, anti took off' his clothes to dry ; Sally Lloyd was there, and be asked her if she had any children, and if' she was a married woman ? she told hint not ; he then told het she might go; he asked me if I was a married woman, and had children ? I said I had; hesaicl. he had heard many reports, mostlikely they were n o t true; h e as k e d if M rs. Newton had net some marks about her ? I told him she had ; lie asked if he could see Mr. Newton ? I told him he could, and he desired me to go for him, and, he came down; Mr. Newton went first, into the parlour, and I followed him ; nei ther said any thingbefore I left the room, they remained about ten minutes; Mr. Newton went out, and Mr. Whitcombe asked me to let him see the body ; he soon went up, he threw the sheet off and looked at the body; there was a black mark upon the eye and all under ; a cut upon the upper lip, whicieseemed as iithere had been a piece cut out, and a mark upon the breast ; a black mark on the back of the, hand, 48 if it had . been trod upon the mark up on t h e leg seemed as if it had been a scald, and was not a recent one; there- were other hruitee on other parts of the body; he remained in the room hut a short time ; we then went into the closet to look at Mrs. Newton's clothes, and thence down stairs; soon after Mr. Whitmore (Mr. Newton's landlord), came to Severn Hall, with his brother, and conversed with Mt. Whitcombe in the parlour. I was not examined as a witness before the Coroner. Ann, Jones lives at Colmar Green, about a mile from Severn Hall. After the death of Mrs. Newton, the children were tent to my house to be taken care of. On that morning I went to Severn Hall, wherei had a daughter living in service. While I was going up stairs, I sawahe Coroner come out of' the room in which the body of Mrs. Newton lay. • I heard.. Mr. Newton, iwho was in the doorway of another reserrt, speak to him. lie lisle tie ilpetrins 'Weald mit' Mike the worst of it, and lie would ' satisfy him in any way, and- thing. Mr. V did not know how.,it would be yet ; I was stairs at that time, and Mr. Anitcombe was stairs. Sarah Lloyd--I live at Bridgenorth, and.Oinember the day the Request was taken. I saw 11Ir. Whitconsbe ; on that clay. Ileasked me winit time Mrs. Newton ilia i ? . 41- . told him on Wednesday night ; he then said lie ova; very '`iv, ,t and wanted to dry his clothes. After that he . asked if „Mrs, '..4tvtori had any marks of violence about her, and I mentioned asvery bad 'black eye, a cut on the lip, mark on The breaSt e :mother on the hand, and on the leg. 1 told him 'Mrs New toe was gone in the family way about six months, and my mistress had told me so. He asked me who was the first - Who came to her? I toldehim Mary, and he desired me to retch her. I think that was all that passed.- James Illilman Coleys—l am a surgeon and apothecary at Bridgenorth, and am in the habit of attending women in labour. I have been in extensive practice 20 years.l . Was at the inquest which was held on Mrs. Newton, having received a note from Mr. Whitmore ' and a summons from the Coroner.. }Levinger. rived at ScvernHall, I accompanied the Coroner to inepect the body, which was lyinir in a.thatither itp stnirivivered with a .sheet ; I observed aeauble on the templee-a %Audi eye, anti tut on the upper lip, and the face was very much disfigured by there marks. I saw a bruise and kind of laceration near one of the arm-pits, which appeared recently inflicted. I observed 'a mark on one of the shins, which appeared to have been occasioned by a kick, and not a burn or scald. Mr. Whitcnnibe had an opportunity of eeeinn,='; these. marks; and I rem ar k e d to hi m, '• This looks like a kick." He said, Oh, no !iti s a b urn she has burned her shins by the tire." I observed an injury on the hand, as if great violence had been used; one of the fingers was either dislocated or fractured, and Mr. Whitcombe could not avoid seeing it. These ward the ex ternal bruises I remarked at that time. The surgeon then went on to describe the observations which he made on opening the body ; but they were of a nature not fit to be presented to our readers. It is necessary, however, to state that,, according to his opinion the deceased met her death from the leceration of a veleY delicate part of the body ; and that in conversation with the defendant at the time, the latter endeavoured m convince him that the deceased died from an excessive attack of an ill. ness peculiar to women. The Coroner observed the laceration was alight and unimportant. I then opened the head and found several bruises on the outside, which I cut through to show him: I believe I aewed the body upi. I wished to examine the chest. The Coroner asked it' I thought I could find any thing worth examining? I said no; and the examination did not take place. On tbeCoroner'a leaving the room after the examination, he said " I see, Mr. Coley, this it a ver y s i mp l e b us i ness; no criminal proceeding can arise out of it. I had subpoenaed twenty-four Jurymen, but I shall retain only twelve, and dispatch twelve." Before he went down stairs, I said I did not understand the na ture and consequence of the prnceeding he. was about to take. He went away hastily. A very abort time afterwards, while I was washing my h an d s i n t h e room w h ere the body lay, in con sequence of a message from me to him, he came up stairs,' and • 1 told hint I felt dissatisfied with the proceedings ha was going to adopt resp ect i ng a J ury, an d t h at he must take all the re sponsibility on himself. He said " Certainly, there is not the least necessity for more than twelve Jurymen." I followed him clown stairs, and was present while 12 men w ere sworn . T he Coroner said, " Gentlemen, I am happy to inform you this is not so serious a bUsiness as we apprehended ; nothing crimin a l can attach to anyone ; only twelve Jurymen will be neces sary." And in consequence part went away. After they were sworn, the Coroner sa lel,. " Gentlemen, it is necessary for you just to take a view of the body." On their return the examina tion began. One of the servants said Mrs. Newton called for Will an the night she died, and shook hands with hint, saying, " God bless you, Will." The Coroner said, " this Iteoks like an improper connection." Before I gave my evidence, Mr. Whitmore asked who Will was ; some one said the w agg o ner ; ant a Juryman s a id t h erecou ld be no cause for such a suspicion, as he was a mere boy. 1 have since seen the deposition, the Coroner returned of . my . evidence ; the one I signed befere the Inquest. I compared them at. Bridgenortle; the one returned by the Coroner roes not contain the 'whole of what I said. I stated minutely the different hijitriea, which are not all :re- - Corded, Slim eltisaittitiluiri stilienhere :rend). 1 ittatrit that T thought the injury was occasioned by a kick or a blow. The Coroner asked me it' it might not have happ e n e d from Mrs. Newton falling over a style . ; 'I told him itsnight possibly have. I pen from that, but I did n ot , t hi n k it probable, for if sire did fall, it intist have been on something painted ; he asiml me what would be the etinsequence of midi an injury as that ; I saki loss of blood, and if thnwornan lived long' enough, morti. i tication. The Coro ner never asked me what, 'in my opinion, was the cause Of Mrs: Newton's death ; I left the lnqueete room, being sent for in ,e . retit haste .to a p at i ent w h o wee ill. About the 12th February I saw th e C oroner again ; N ewton had been examined and committed ; the Coroner 'called a: my house ; it ix about thirteen miler; from hie; be told me he called tneret tie to sign a fair copy of my , evidence alShe Inquest : I told him Newton had been coMmated on suspicion of being guilty of murder. Ile said a Magistrate. may coinntir on auspi cion, hut a Coro ner c ould on l y . commit 'on facts ; he said he had no doubt in his own mind that Newton had killed his wife, . but the facts were not, sufliciently strong to find him guilty.- I told him the public and Jury were dissatisfied with the ver:. diet at the Inquest ; I asked him if. it was not possible to hold another. lie said it could only be done by application to the essurrof King's Bench, but. there was no additional evidence to render. it necessary. I told Min I thought my examination at the Inquest was not sufficiently full.' He said it was. I told . him I thought be should have asked more opinions. He said, if I had given any, he should n ot h ave recorded them ; that a medical man, in giving his evidence at en Inquest, should con fine himself to fact ; and medical opinion could not be taken as evidence. He said lie thought it probable the laceration had arisen from the vessels bursting of themselves, from strong pas sion or hard labour. I made no reply. I compared the copy with the original. After which h e sa id t h ey tad better not subpoena him at the trial; for if they did, it must be in the pri boner's favour. That was after he said he had no doubt New. ton had killed his wife. I was ,at Shrewsbury on !Newton's trial. I saw the Coroner in this Court just before the trial began. He said, " Mr. Coley, yoa have come on Newton's business, I suppose_?" I told ham I had. Ile then said, we must do what we can to net him off. James- Barker-=-I was assistant to Mr. Fall, a eurgeon at Bridgenorth, and attended the Inquest. I arrived between ten and eleven, and saw the body, with the Coroner, before Mr. Coley cattle. I was afterwards present at the openi ng and ex. seined before the Jury.-- The examination, 'as returned by Mr. Whiteom Mbe was read. —lt stated the witness w as o f opi nion Mfrs. Newton had diet from loss of blood, and not from any blow ter violence. This he had neveeseid, orany worth to that or the like effect, that hue recollected, ,i.cratbe said he iug up the back ling to the better g ' Cross-examined---I will swear positively I never used s uc h words, I ordered vinegar add water in case the bleedin should return. - I was the only person attentling till Mr. coley Came. The Coroner said h© sent for him because he did no t c h oose to rely on my judgment. I &tpted the death arose from tumor rhage, and the gcneral etracussion of blows on the body. I thought her in dang er , but left tier and went away. The dep o .. sition was read aver to me before I signed*, hut I will swear I never read it, nor ever said it was perfteoy, co 4 rem What I heard rend over w a s perfectly COrtt:CG I think the COTOT)CP himself read it.

Mr. Coley sa id m u s t have mt have been something pointed. • • Thomas Illakewoy, Roberts proved the depositio n o f Ann Jong, in which she had sworn the same as she had tO-day. Dr. Ihtgard, a phy s i c i an in Shrewsbury, said,that if the op perances tonk.place as described by Mr. Coley, it was innate.: sidle the subject multi have died by an excess of natural in. .. , Ms ; and any person at an aequaintett with surgery or ar 6,,, tinny must have known that. John Davis, Altman of the Jury on the Inquest, recollected , the Coroner saying there were twenty-four; that the thing wax nut so bad as he expected, and he should release one part. lie said he would call over the names, and they were to go to the other Aide of the room, and hit kept the first twelve ; who an. steered ; the Coroner and o...onitables called the natnes from a list. After we were sworts.the Coroner told us we it/oat ge ittis a and see that the body of Sarah Newton was there. I did not see the Coroner in the room ; we only just went into the room and saw her faCe; the rest of the body WAS cohered with a sheet. When we: had come down stairs, the Coroner asked !bates, the waggoner, whether Mr. and Mra. Newton had any words about htl wards the 'tinntan ? 'Tates said it was about a lantern. Edwards lived at liridgenerth, about two mike from Severn flail. When the evidence had closed, wt: went to an other room to consider of the verdict ; I gaie it in as Forenian, That she died through the lose of blood." The Coroner turned his head towards Mr. Whitmore, and said, " Oh I then we'll- say she died front the, Visitation of God." Mr. Whitmore said, ' No, put it doWn as the Verdict is given in." `John Jones, a Juror on Mrs. Newton, was in the kitehen with other Jurors, when the .Coroner came in and said he was glad the case was not so serious as he expected, and he should only want 12 instead of 24 jurors. After 12 Jurors were sworn, and the Other 12 discharged, the Cmoner told them to go up stairs and see the body, and " it was only neves sory to see that the body was. there." They only saw the de ceased's face, A female when giving evidence before the Jury said something 'tabu* The Coroner said, " Yostsaid nothidg aboutthis when talking-to the this morning.''_. One of the witnesses spoke, about., Edwards„ a tilllll4ll, beita able to give evidence . The Coroft6 'Must have heard it.— Witness heard Mr. Coley say the bleeding was occasioned by a kick or a blow.. The Coroner, in hi s address to -the Jury, said, " that one of the witnesses said she was subject to litemorr liege, and that she had been brewing and baking on that day, and that might have caused it." After this witness 'asked the Coroner to read Mr. Coley's evidence. again, as he was not sa tisfted. The Coroner read it over again ; rind on speaking about the bruises, he said they might have been occasioned . by a fall over a stile, or other causes; heard the foreman give the verdict; and the ("mmer, on receiving it, said, " Died by hemorrhage—that is, died by the visitation of God." , Witnes s said, " That is nut what we mean ; our verdict i s , Died by the loss of blood, but how occasioned, we could not find.'The Coroner looked at Mr. Whitmore, and asked him how it should be entered i' Mr. Whitmore replied,'" as they return ed it, to be sure." Stephen Braithwait, another Juror, corroborated the above witnes.es, as to the dismissal of the twelve Jurors, and to the. Coroner's insinuation about Will and Mrs. 'Newton. The Co-' roner said, " We'll have %trill called, and if his deposition is worth taking down, we will take it."—This witne,.sa also cor roborated the evidence in support of Mr. Coley's testimony, and as' to the Coroner observing, " It was only necessary to ate there was a body there," when the Jury went up stairs.—Th e Jury saw.no part of the body except the face.

Mr. J ERN' ts said that before evidence of what took place be tween Edwards and Newton wait given, it was necessary to show that the Coroner knew of such transactions. Mr. Baron flu ',coo: said, that proof must be given first that the Coroner knew of Edwards being at Severn flail with Newton, before evidence of what took place between them was admissible.

Mr. John Woodward is an Attorney at Cleobury Mortimer, where the defendant resides. The defendant is a surgeon at Cleobury, and his practice as a man-midwife had been for up wards of twenty years. lie is a Mamba of the College of Sur. A 'record of .Tolin Newton's conviction last Assizes was put in and read •, also the depositions and Inquest of the Coroner on. the 27th of January last. • This'elosed the evidence for the prosecution. Mr. Serjeant I'EAKI took an objection to the proceeding...—. Ile said that there was an averment on the record, that 24 Ju. rors had been summoned, and no proof had been given. R Mr, PEASON said, that the witness Coley proved an admis. sion of the 'defendant that he had summoned 24, od discharged twelve. The Counr overruled the objection, and Counsel rose to reply. The following witnesses were then called by the Learned Counsel for the defence : Thomas Whitmore Esq. one of the Magistrates of Shrop shire, examined by ilitu.Ezt-1 was landlord of Newton. The parish officers applied to me to procure an Inquest to by held on Mrs. Newton. I told them that the _parish must Rend to the Coroner. I attended the Inquest, as did the Rev.

I said he .woul4 berbetter able tojudge of that when he had heard the evidenee. 'Barber came, and wished not to be a witness, but I told him if he was summoned he must give evidence. The Coroner Alien said, he was not satisGed with him. Ile volt ed to have a regttlar surgeon. I named four, one of whom was Mr. COley:--Mr, Coley came.' The examin ation of the -body then took place, at which I was not present. The Coroner returned, and said he was glad to find it was not so serious an affair as he was first led to suppose, and twelve jurors would be He asked me to select twelve. I struck out of thalist a ntan who had fought with Newton.. I asked itim if twelve would, do—he looked at a book, anti said twelve would do. I sUggesteci the best way would be to select four jurors from each of the three parishes. Six of my tenants were surtimoneti—two served, ind four were rejected. The Jury went up stairs; 1 did trot go with them. On their return the exaMi:uttlati commented. The Coroner told me to Ptit any questions to the' witnesses that I liked.'

The Jury.. had been cemplaining of bein g very wet and uncomf ort able, and asked Ur. Coley, whether he had not better reletwe soiree of , them ; and Coley said, he thought he had better do so. The defendant, after the dissection, elated Coley toleave the boat neat, because the Jury were to view it. The defendant's case being closed at nine o'clock, • , PEA itsozs . , in qommencing his reply, observed, that the' Countiel for prosecutiona always mule a mere statement, that was not quite correct ; it wits true in felonies, but not 'comm. , . auto misdenteammrs ; he would argue the case as coollyae possible but coolness inarg e m en t did not a t a ll i mp l y want of confidence in the right of: the mule.. As to the character - the defendant had received, it was , quite clear that the fentiant, like many other men, bad a good character till he lost it, anti that the defendant had a good character, or the free- e holders would never h a v e e l ecte d h im t o the Office of Coroner. The Learned Counsel comtnented on the evidence at considor.e, able length, and observed, that they Were to find Whether the defendant had acted corruptly; he expressed .his,surprise that •.; the gentleman who had been celled should state that the exa mination was lately taken il6wn, and that all the evidence was taken doVin ; he hoped they had done es his Learned Friend had done, end had taken out their' watches while the deposi tions were made they took in the reading about, nine minutes, and yet they Contained every thing that appeared in en exa mination of between four and five hours. Of the conversation which took place between John Newton; the husband of the deceased, and the Coroner, the son of the Coroner gives an account quite different from the witnesses for the prosecution. The son of the defendant said, that it was all about horses,' provender but but Newton, the cousin, did not hear a word of it ; • and as to him, he swore that' he had never made any affidavit, • and yet he was forced to adMit that he had sworn an affidavit, quite different in t he account 'h e n ow gives. The question the Jury had to try was, not whether the defendant did or did not. , commit any particular act of acts ; but whether .he had been influenced by corrupt motives? They -might- feel 'for Mr e. Whitcomb and his family, but they should feel .more still for the justice of their country. When Sir.
