A . case of this description was heard yesterday be . . fore W. L. ItooEns and A. LAING , ' Esqrs.. the sitting Magistrates at liatton-garden Policeoffice, which, is it more clearly displays the practical. operation of the 'enactment 'already alluded to, we subjoin.:--- i . Charles Mills, Esq. of No. 24, Henrietta -street, Cavendish square, was summoned before their Worships, 'at t h e i nstance H of the on. Board of Customs. for having in his possession one piece of Bandana s ilk, conta i n i ng e i g h t ming l e h andk erchiek:-.: The summons was granted on the information of Henry Bailey; the seizing officer. The Solicitor fur the - Customs attended, and •Mr, Mills not appearing to plead to the information the officer's deposition was taken— from Which it appeared, that on ttheq4th; last he proceeded to Mr. Mills's house in . llenrietta -street, when having Informed that gentleman Of tha natt4e.of his visit he requested permission to search, which. Mr. M., did not, op pose; witness then opened several drawers.. thinks presses, 84. c. and in Mr. own dressing-room he fond the piece of handkerchiefs. In one of the male servants! trinika- were 12 whole pieces, ;the remnants, 'ante two single handkerchiefs,- making 102 handkerchiefs, .all of the. same prohibited material.' In theliousekeeper's apartment were discovered several dresses of French silk, partly worne, but liable, to seizure; and' one new pelisse of the same manufacture; the former were passed over, but the pelisse was: taken to the Custom stores. • On these informations, the Solicitor said he was instructed to press for the full penalties. . - The Magistrates accordingly adjusted the fines at treble the sworn value of the - articles - seized. • When the decisions were nearly closed, Mr. Mills entered the Office, and said that he mile forward merely to pay the penalty attaching to the,piece_of silk found in tite dressing-room, whi c h was - the gift of a brother Ave years ago, and had: wholly escaped remembrance; he also wished that the seizures made•of his set vant's property might not be identified with his name, as he had no knowledge whatever nf such property being in his house. M The Solicitor replied, t h a t r. 111.-need.have noappreltension on that point, as such an idea watt uoverfer One moment enter tained. • Three other cases of a similar nature were heard at the sam e time, in which th e parties were fined in mitigated penalties re spectively, according to value of the property. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. LEWES, AUGUST 18. CI R VI R (Before Mr. Justice UR L OI SIDE. JOH, and a Special Jurpl) FORCIBLE EXPULSION FROM A CHURCH. V/NES V. HARE, CLERK, AND OTHERS. This was an action o f ass a u l t and false imprisionment. The defendanto pleaded, first, " not guilty ;" and, second, a justi fication. This case excited some i nterest. It appeared that the plain tiff was a respectable farmer, upwards of 70 years old, and one of the Churchwardens of Hursononceaux, in which parish he occupied a large farm as tenant to Sir John Fagg. The des fendant, Mr. flare, was Hector of the parish; the defendant, Mr. EVan Jones, was his Curate ; and two other defendants were headbotougbs. • The plaintiff' had, for some titre past, claimed a right to a certain pew in the parish church in virtue of his tenantcy . to Sir John Fagg,,, which right was disputed by the Rev. Rector, who, besides the chancel to which he was en titled in his character of-Rector, moldered that he also had a right to the p e w i n question, which it insisted his predeces sors in the incumbency bad always enjoyed. In order. to as sert his right, the 1)14mill' had .for several successive Sundays gone to church, and before Divine Servitte be gan,i clambered over. the partition .: std taken possession of the pew, the d oor of white . ), f lyttall was y kept locked by the reeler. Iti preVent the rep e tit i o n o f t hi s cou r se of pro:. seeding, Mr. Ifare gave orders to the parish constables and the headboroughs to be in attendance on the Sunda' mentioned in the declaration, and forcibly to turn the plaintiff out of the pew if he should again take possession. On the Sunday in question the plaintiff came to church, and again took possession of the pew in the manner above-mentioned; upon which the constable went to him and desired him to withdraw, telling him that Miss Hare, the rector's daughter, and one of his sons, were coming to that pew, in which the rector's family were accustomed to sit. , The plaintiff declined withdrawing, but said he had no objection wh a t ever to le t Mi ss Hare andher brother into the pew, there being room for ten or twelve persons to sit. He was told, however, that he must retire altogether. This he refused to do; upon which the constable and the headboroughs laid hold of him, lifted him out of the pew, and carried him to another pew in which he had been usually accommodated with a seat,' and ,endeavoured to place him there. In this, however, they did not succeed ; he disentangled himself from their hold, and returned to the pew he had first taken possession of, enter ing it as befbre by getting over the partition. The peace-offi cers began to doubt their authority to interfere any further in the business, conceiving that the plaintiff, in his cliarac ter of churchw ar d en , had exclusive jurisdiction within the betty of the church, and before interfering any farther, they determined to take, the advice of Mr. Jones the curate, who was then at the reading desk, but had not commenced di vine service. Upon asking Mr. Jones what they were to do,: that gentleman told them they must remove the plain tiff' front the pew, and that if he did not withdraw quietly, they were t' turn him out by Force. The defendant was requested to come out of the pew, but again declining, he marts taken out d bo id d n il o y t , saenedmdirnacglm to geintrheeopeouwn anywil usuallyerleonhgeerliewas taken out of sat ; but as he church, and told he must immediately go before a Magistrate. In consequence of the noise and confusion created by these ills graceful struggles. Mr. Jones, the curate, announced to the congregation that divine service could not be performed with due decorum that morning,. and accordingly the congregation dispersed. Mr. flare had given orders to the head-boroughs, to J n t s a d k c e e p o o f ss t possession i p ot e i ac o o f t t l i t l e at p i e e w t , he th P ey ja u in 'e t r i e ti. t r o e irn t :e d y i lli s tn a be tte r m or p e ts a to be dealt with according to law. As soon as the plaintiff was taken out of church as above mentioned, the head-boroughs gave him his choice as to the made of his conveyance to the JOS. tied. He was told lie might ride on his own horse, go in a gig, which would be prOvided for him, or walk. He preferred the latter mode, and was taken into custodv, but without any eir cunistances of ignominy, before Mr. Curtis, a neighbouring Magistrate, Who bound him over to appear at the next Quarter Sessions for aesaulting the bead-boroughs, and for Indecently and irreverently disturbing divine service on the day in ques tion. At the following sessio ns b e was indicted for this utrence accordingly. • It did not distinctly appear what was the result; but in fact no judfieitl prociseling„was fowaled upon it, end she p?nintitf - now. bruuktTit this acsiuy, The defendants justified their conduct by thvir Special pletts,.which alleged that the de d - fenant having mi4ccinuncted himself by tbrcib y attempting to take possession of the pew, they had gently laid hands upon hint to remove him therefrom, doing no more violence than was necessary for that purpose ; and that having repeated his vio lent'conthict, they'did a little pull hiM about, and did a little beat him,' al they lawfully might for the cause alleged. The plaintiff; in, his repli cat i o n ,, alleged that the defend - tints coin nutted the grievances and injuries complained, of, as of their own wrong.' Several witnesses proved die manner in which the Ptihaelnitifrre; turbonech,adn and ( n i ttehraletrteidn, fact,tlie plaintiff had been treated. It was proved that, until the con stables I r a e d n i t n t ad ru e o no id n ie o ged ise or dis in the defendants' pleas was produced by their interposition. On the part of the.clefenclants, the topics urged in answer to the action were--first, that th e plaintiff had, acted illegalty in I the mode of exercising his right to the ew ; and th at , if h e really had any lawful title to it , b e shou ld have asserted it •by bringing an action against the rector,' and determining the question by' due course of law ; Second, that in point of fact, he bad no title whatever to the pew, as was evidenced by his own conduct, inasmuch as, for thirty years, he had always sat in anotheepew, assigned to Sir John Fagg's tenants, without ever. pretending, until lately, that lie had any right to the pew in question ; third, that the pew in question had never been - used by any of Sir John Fagg's tenants, but had always been en-' joyed by the incumbent of the living, and had been, in fad,' used by 3fr. flare's family for the last 20 years ; and fourth, that the conduct of the plaintiffon this occasion was so 'violent' and outrageous, as to render his forcible expulsiou, and the sub sequent proeeedings, necessary an d j ust ifia ble. • . , Evidence was given in support of the second and third grounds of defence ; but as to the fourth, though some witnesses' were called to prove what the plaintlfra derneitootir was on the oc casion in question, it did not appear to be any other than already described. Mr. Sergeant Tan , in rtply, urge d, t h at h owever ques tionable theplaintill''s title to th e pew lowilt be, nothing c ou ld justify the violence and outrage with which he bad been treated. The conduct orAlr. Hare and curate was by no meens Con, 'noon with that decoruni which became the sacred office of a clergyman; mid as what took place was committed under their orders,. they Were answer-able for the consequencem. The jury would say" what tlama!,-,es they would give to an aged rnan,• of irreproaehable character, whet had been' thus twice dragged out of Church, in th e f ace of his fellow-parishioners under every circumstance of insult and degradation, merely because, he bail! peaceably - exettised , the right which h e c l a i me d to the pew in ,ottestiont To there the plaintiff looked with confidence for such, it verdict as would mark their sen se o f t h e unworthy con duet of the reverend defendants and their associates, who had, thus occasioned an unseemly broil in an edifice so sacred as the pittish chiurtlu. • • • Juatiee liunnotrd eltarge( r - that if the del ft d...4,1W', pleas of justiticatiort were satisfactorily made out, they would afford no answer to the action, inasmuch as the first a,t aggressiom in seizing the plaintiff and forcibly expelling him from the pew, could not he justified: - the plain- WuN therefore entitled to a verdict. It was the province of die Jury; to say what damages they would' give •in such a rase ; but he had no doubt that, in the exercise of their judg ment upon, this subject,., they would take c are not to suffer their ntinds -to be. affected by any feeling* inconsistent with strict justieo. • The Jury found their verdict for the plaintifF—Dartiages, 100 h, costa, 40s. ---- CROWN SIDE. . Bribre - 111r. Baton. GRAHA M .) EXIT COACH ,ROBBER John Wilson, n marl of ftspect,l4 opeArance. describing himself ash cuaLtneiTlitint, Was indicted Tor stealing bank-notes and cash to the amount of 1,603/., from the lioroy ' l'orniniouth 'coach,. on its way to London, on the 18th January fast. The prosecution wa.s conducted by ;tlr. Rtionttica. and Mr. THESSIOXR ; and Mr:. NiniEwa and .Ir. Apo.t.rit us were for the defence. It appeared, f rom the evidence of' scveral witneasea, that QR. the lilt it January hist, Messrs. Hector and 1 3tineroft, Cankers at Peteretield, made up a parcel, 'containing the property In +tea, tion for the purpose of being- transmitted to their.ageotis, Me4got, w illianis and' CA A Cornhill. On the folloi unl day this parcel was given to Faulkener, the driver of the Hem Portsrnouth coach, which passes through Peterstiehl on its way to London, and he, according.to usual custom with parcels or that description, locked it up in a small box, under his seat on the driving. boa. It appeared that on the morning of the 16th January; three men in company came to the Fountain Inn at Portsmouth, and sent for the book-k e ep er o f t h e coach-oce, who waited upon ffi upon them in the coMe-roorn. They said they wanted to go to London, but unless they got the three front seats on the roof of the Hero, they would not go by that con veyance. One of these men was sworn positively to, bythe brother, to be the prisoner, his attention being drawn to, him by the particular manner in which he was looked at by a gen tleman in the room. Front seats were secured for the three men at their request, and the prisoner rode on the off side, mediately behind the coachman. Another man took the box, who seemed to be of their party. The coach stopped 20 minutes to dinner at Ripley, and about three minutes at the Stags public house in Lambeth.- One of the men set off at the latter house, and the others at the Elephant and Castle in St. George's-fields. The coachman, on arriving at the Spread Eagle in Gracechurch street, discovered that the box in which he had placed thcparcrl in question was open, the .parcel . gone, and part of a skeleton key remaining in the lock. 'Notice of the loss was immedi ately given to the bankers, and active steps were taken to trace the notes and detect the offenders; but no discovery was made until the 19th of March last, when a man sworn to be the prisoner went to the shop of a Mr. Tooth, of Has tings, bought two pair of gloves at the price of 4s. 2d., and gave in payment a 101. Chichester bank note, and received the change. Mr. Tooth took the note to the Hastings Bank, and was there informed that it was one of the stolen notes in question. He went lo pursttit .of the prfsoner, found him in the (Jig's-street, and told him that he had given him a bad note, to which the prisoner replied, ''l t can't be a bad note, but if it is I'll change it for you." Mr. Tooth then took the prisoner to the bankers, who told what he was, said he was a ctral-merchant, and lived at Burton-Crescent, London, and that he had taken the note al Brighton from a Guernsey merchant. A constable was sent for, and the prisoner . searched, whereupon a pocket book was found upon him, containing several notes and some sovereigns. Ile was then asked if he hadany more money about bins, which he answered in the negative. A stricter search was then commenced, and in doing so a roll of paper fell from the prisoner's person, which he put his foot upon immediately, to try to conceal it; but upon being seized by the officer, it was found to contain, among other notes, a ten-pound note, one of those which had been stolen. Upon searching the prisoner' s person more closely, anot h er of the stolen notes i n question, of the value of 6/. was found in the seat of his drawers. Upon the proof of these facts the case for the prosecution rested. The prisoner, in his defence, said, that he was a general dealer going round the country, attending fairs anti markets, and received the notes in question in the course of business ; and under the circumstances in which he was placed, he had had no opportunity of taking the necessary steps to trace them to the persons from whom he received them. He called no witnesses. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to seven years transpor tation. It appeared that the prosecutor had experienced great diffi culty, and incurred enormous expence in the furtherance of this prosecution ; more than 1,5001. was stated to have been incur. red ih the pursuit of this object, and that overtures had been made to them to forego their duty, but which they determined not to listen to, preferring to Jet the law take its course in a case in which every banker in the kingdom was interested. George Baker and Beqjamin Baker, brothers, were indicted on the Statute of Elizabeth, for breaking and entering the . dwelling:house of Charles Lindfield, in the day-time, on the 14th of April, at Horsham, no person being therein, and steal. ing a bond for the payment o f 2,900/., two watches, several silver spoons, some gold and silver money, bank-notes to the amount of 20/., two ivaistcoats, and other articles of wearing apparel, his property. The Jury acquitted George, but found Benjamin Baker Guilty—Death. In clearing the gaol, Mr. Baron ORAIIA.SI was kindly as. sisted by Mr. Serjeant ONsLow and 111 r. .1 DAM respectively, who tried several prisoners on Tuesday, cotnmitted for minor offences. EXETER, Avo. 18. HOUSTON, JUN. v. LEY (CLERK). FLOGGING AT SCHOOL. Mr. PARKIN,: stated to the Jury, that in this ease J. Houston, jun. w*Cpisititiff;"And the Rev. X. bey defendant. The decla ration stated, that the defendant had made an assault upon the plaintiff; anal had inflicted several blows on his back and loins ; to which the defendant had pleaded, first, that he was not guilty; and, secondly, that he was under-maiter of a grammar school in this County, and th at t h e plaintiff being a scholar, unde r t h e age of 21, had behaved himself in an improper manner, and that the blowa had been inflicted for the purpose of punishing him. 'To this plea the plaintiff had replied, that the defendant had assaulted . him in a more violent manner than was necessary or proper under the circumstances, and upon this issue was joined. Air. Sergeant PELL addressed the Jury on the part of the plaintiff, and observed, 'that the qUestion they had to try was, whether the defendant had or had not inflicted a more severe Chastisement on the plaintiff' than his relative situation to the young person justified. He approached this case with pain, both as it referred to the plaintiff,. who was very young, and to his father, and he might add, as it referred to the defendant, whom be knew in early life, and of whom he would Ray, that at that time be considered hint, 'for learning, humanity, and right feeling, an ornament to the honaurable profession to which lie belonged.— 'The father of the p/ain tiff Watt a respectable surgeon and apothe- Cary at'TiVerton: Hilted five cliildren besides the plaintiff; who was about 14 years of age. The defendant had been many years the second master of the grammar school at Tiverten, which. stood as hightta RAY - school in the kingdom, and hati - eontribdteff as largely as any, ,emtablishrnent of its size, to that motel and' intellectual improvement to which Bngland was mainly in debted for the primd station she had attained. Ile had a pain ful duty to discharge hr informing the Jury that at this moment the father of the plaintiff apprehended th at hi s son wou ld be a cripple 'far tbe remainder of his days, in consequence of the treatment lie liaireicperienced from the defendant. But he would not press this point further, wishing as he did to obtain the verdictof the Jury without exciting their feelings, which dwelling oh this , topic must do, The Learned Serjeant then, after 'giving au outline of the case that would be proved by evidence, called ' John Candy—l am apprentice to Mr. Houston, surgeon, of Tiverton. He has six children; John is the eldest; I have known him , well for three years and a half. Ilefore the begin ning of this year lie was weakly, but unhealthy. On Saturday, the 7th February, 1 saw John run up to a boy of the name of Bane; and, after some conversation, Houston gave him a slap in the face. On Tuesday, the 10th February, in the afternoon, I' saw he was very faint when he came from school. He went to bed, anti I went into the room where he was in bed ; it was between 2 and 3 o'clock in the day; I examined his lair's and back, and found the blood had been drawn from 59 places, and he appeared to have been flogged severely. The appearances were on the sm a ll of t h e b ac k ; I went to him frequently during the evening; Dr. Hutchinson attended him; I particularly examined his back on Friday, and it was then that I counted the 59 places; he got up on the Sunday following for 2 hours, but he lay on the sofa; he got up on Monday and Tuesday tbr a short time; since that time his health has been very bad ; he has complained of a pain in his back, and a slight pain in his head, and is constantly taking medicine ; he complains times of u deadness in his' limbs; he has likewise been very faint. Cross-examined by Mr. ADAM—The school hours are over between twelve and one o'clock. I saw plaintiff after his return from school. I eaw him about two or three o'cloidi, in bed.
