CIVIL SIDE. THE itusci- v. CU:ARLES MA.RTIN 'AND. MY, OTHEXtS. This was an indictment against six defendants, IlaitiC4 Martin, 'Western,- Richardson, 'Bugden, 'Bennett, and Anderion, for .a libel on Richard Rolfev, at the parish of St. Mary, Newington; en We 10th of 'February, 1819. - The-p"rosecutiOn was 'conducted by Mr. MAR -RYA+, Mr. NOLAi, and Mr. Ccawoon, and the cleferice . by 'Mr. GURNEY, MI". CHITTY, and Mr. This prosecutiop arose rest of the disputes :which - for some time . past agitated the: parish of St. Mary, Newington, - fly the usages of •that parish , the Rector • has the power of notni -Dating one .Churchwarden; and the parish ano ther. The Rev. Mr. Onslow, the Rector,. had nominated the prosecutor, Mr. Roffey, as. his • wirden and the parishioners had chosen Mr.' Martin, the defendant, as theirs, in 1819. It had' been the Practice to hold Vestry Meet- . hags. in -the parish .church, at five o'clock in the *4N - t r uing, but, as was suggested, in consequence of. 'Ol4 disgraceful scenes that sometimes took place ,and the very late hour to which the dish at' those meetings had been prolonged for .",solne time previous to 1819, it was deethed expedient by the prosecutor to change the hour fur, the assemblage of the Vestry, namely, from five. in the afternoon to nine. in the morning:— Soon after he came into office, it became neces:. sail to make a. new church rate, and also to take into consideration on what terms iron coffins were to lie - permitted for interment in the church-yard', that mode of burial having been recently sug , vested as proper. In order to take both these subjeCts into. consideration, Mr. Roffey caused notice to be given in the usual manner by the p: rish clerkyfrom his reading-desk in the church, that a VestrY-meeting would be held on the 3d ofTebruary, at nine o'clock in the morning.— . The ajteration of the time for holding.' Vestrp :meetings, it seems, occasion e d a grea t sensa ti on in the'parish, and accordingly; on the day above mentioned, all, the defendants - aPpeared at the Vestry, and, as was charged, proceeded to pro - pose resolutions highly defamatory of Mr.•Rof . fey's character. The defendant, Mr.- Richard son, .was stated to be an attorney, residing in ,1.91140rb- having a house 'at Newington ; the de :fendants, Messrs. Bugden and Ailderscin, were rePresented to be attorneys' clerks, and also in . iia.bitar,ts of that parish; and the remaining defendants to be - tradesmen, some of them carrying on business in London.—On the occasion in : question, Mr. Richardson was stated to be :• tlig framer of - the resolutions, the purport of whtcb was to insinuate that the prosecutor's ob pct_in _altering the time for the assemblage of • ti.e Vestry was to obtain a packed meeting of inferior inhabitants. of the parish, who would be subservient te_the purposes of himself -and the .:Rector._ The resolution which was the principal „ground of the present indictment professed to be ai declaration of the sentiments of th e V es t ry , thatt4t conduct of the prosecutor, in attempting - tZa to thetimeof meeting, was a violation of • the ritelits of. the Vestry-men, an insult to the . -; ;garish, and a disgrace to the Rector-who had ap •,,, peinotd , • him. It further stated, ,that he, was . : , •1 041olly unworthy of the confidence of the pa ,Ati4lion,ers,„ acrd was an object of their just indig_ „Ra , tion.. appeared that all the defendants, ex - Oennett and Ary. Anderson, took an active - part: on : this occasion. Another reso lution was._ passed, that the other • resolutions Should be signed -by the Vestry- . clerk, print ;ed.): and circulated: among the *pariShioners.- --'--TheNestry-clerk; it ta.ilpeared, declined signing . the resolutions, upon the suggestion of a solicitor that • ' • ' • - - .,present they libellous, and point .of :'.fact- they were not published out of the Vestry : , :=-••:=The , case-was 'proved by, the evidence of the - : 1 -41,eaoroVhO Presided' on the oCcasion, the %res .

He begged it to be distinctly un . . . 4erstood, that the duty of Speclal -jurors was as imperative as that of- perions who were impan nelled to try common Jury Causes, and in conse quence of 'the unaccountable absence of Gentle men summoned as Special Jurors at this Assize, he announced, that if, on any future occasion, when he came this Circuit, he found cause of si milar complaint, he should feel it his duty to fine severely the absentees. In the five Special Jury Causes entered for trial, there were not more than three or four G entlenten who condescended to give their attendance. The business on this side finiSbed at about 12 o'clock this day, when the Chief Justice lent his assistance to Mr. Baron Wood in clearing the Gaol. CROWN SIDE. MANstAunitTrn.— Win. Woodward mag in dicted for feloniously killing and slaiving Geo. Wilson Steven's, at Claphain, on the 25th of June. Mr. AnoLenus conducted the prosecution, and called witnesses, from whose evidence it' appear-, ed thatthe prisoner was the driver of a baggage, waggon of the Royal Artillery, on its way from. Essex to Richmond, on the top of which were riding the 'deceased, an infant of tender years, and his Mother. The prisoner's waggon, being the last in the line of the train to whiOt it was attached, had lagged behind, and he being anXious 'to redeem his station, whipped his horseS furiously, in consequence of which the vehicle was driven with violence against a lamp-post at Clapham, and the deceased was thrown from the waggon _upo❑ the uound, and his brains were dashed out. The unhappy mother *was- also so much injured by the fall, as to be unable to give her attendance. The prisoner, in his defence, put in a written paper,. which expressed his sorrow for the un happy catastrophe, which, as the father of chil dren himself, lie lamented with unaffected regret. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direc tion, found the prisoner Guitty.—He was ,sen tenced to six months' imprisonment in the County Gaol. John Simpson was indicted, on the Coroner's inquisition, for feloniously killing and slaying Jane Morgan, on the 15th of April last, in the parish of St. Thomas, in the Borough of South w irk. The-prisoner was the driver of a Chatham stage coach; and about.B o'clock in the evening of the day mentioned in the indictment ; it being dark, he was driving at the rate of eight miles an hour, through the Borough, when .the deceased, a woman far gone in pregnancy, was crossing the road, and, before she was aware of her danger, she was knocked down by the leader, when the Wheels of the carriage went over her body, broke her ribs, ruptured her abdomen, and produced premature parturition. She was taken up in a lifeless state, and carried to St. Thomas's Hospi tal, where she died the next day, her infant sur viving her two days. The . prisoner, when spoken to upon his misconduct, behaved. with great inso lence, and in the most unfeeling Manner. , The Jury immediately found him Guilty, and the CHIEF JUSTIGE, alluding to the but too fre quent carelessness of persons in his situation of life, expressed a hope that this melancholy ca tastrophe would be a warning to. others against a brutal indifference to the safety of their fellow creatures, and, taking into consideration the cir cumstance that he had been already confined for sixteen weeks, sentenced him to be further im prisoned in the County Gaol for four calendar 'months. At a late hour this evening the Assizes finish ed, and sentence of Death was passed upon the several capital convicts, found guilty during the Assize. • DARING ATTEMPT AT, ,BURGLARY.—The fol loWing atterhpt at robbery and probably murder, took - place in the night between Monday and Tuesday last. JamEs MosTAou, Esq. store keeper in the department of the Master of the Horse, residing at Kew Green, gave his man ser vant leave to go to the play on Monday night—h e himself remaining at home with two female ser vants only. About one o'clock lie was awoke by some person tapping gently at his chamber door; and thinking it was his servant returned from the play, he drew up the night bolt, when a strange man nearly six feet high, dressed in a carter's frock, and armed with a bludgeon, enter ed the room, and instantly advanced to the sid e of the bed. Mr. Montagu demanded, " What brings you here ?" " Your - money !" replied the ruffian, instantly .lifting up his cudgel in the act 'to strike ; Mr. - Montagu asinstantaneously sprang from the bed, with a pillow in each hand ; and With these he contrived 'to ward off many des perate• blows, which the villain aimed at his head. Mr. M. *was nearly exhausted, however, when the noise made by this scuffle, awoke the maid-servants ; and the robber, hearing them coming towards the room, instantly betook him serf I . 6llight ; .pulling his hat over his eyes and co vering the rest of his face with his hand as he rush ed past them. It was afterwards discovered, that he had entered through' a window at the back part of the house,• from the Royal Gardens, be longing to Kew Palace ; audit is a singular fact, that about twelve months ago a precisely similar attack was made upon Mr. M. with as little suc -cess. In that "case, the robber entered by the same window and from the Royal Gardens, and ho also was 'much such a man in appearance.— Jeffreys and Bacon of the Bow-street Pa ice, were seat dow'n by the Magistrates, on Tuesday morning, lo.endeavour to &ace the robber, but hitherto they have been unsuccessful. • AND ItonuEß:ir at RATIICOOL.—About nine o'clock on Saturday night, five or six car riers Were stopped near itathcool, by twelve. or 14 armed men, Who prOCeeded to pillage the property on the cars=after having shot one man, and wounded another of the carriers. The Waterford and two other mail coaches arrived at the time, but deemed it - best, for tlierSecuriti of the mails, to abandon the scene of action, which they did accordingly..—(Dublin Journal, Aug. 7.)

In reference to this subject. the following is an extract of a Letter written by the Surveyor of Use district in November, 18.7, " Circumstances have materially altered since the above order was issued, as far as regards the place of more pat tact lar'consequence, Huddersfield, where the delivery has been greatly accelerated ; however, although. these are favourable circumstances, I ant of opinion, considering the speculative turn of the birds manufacturer, cdrtain fixed rules should be established and enforced ; aut:, again, these Rules should be general, but within these few days a priority of intelligence on the sutfden rise of Silk, has enabled an individual or two to take by surprize every dealer in Coventry." • In November, }RI7, a Letter was addressed to the Secretary of the rost•Office, by W.

" The complaint which you mention to have come from Halifax and Huddersfield, will appear to have little foundation, whet) it is known, that the Letters at these towns are all delivered in time for their own Markets) and that the Leeds Merchants have sixteen miles to ride to each place after the Letters are delivered here; bu t it is hoped, that if the accommodation we ask for can be granted without entailing much inconvenience upon our owls Post Office; that it'will not be refused on account of the tepre' sentation from these towns?: The above was followed by a Memorial from the Bankerll Merchants, and principal Inhabitants of Leeds, traustuitt ed . to the Postmaster General in November, 1817.
