Morris Can:A/yid and John White were put to the bar, charged with having on the night of the Bth of March, broken and entered the toll-house between Wakefield anti Leeds, and stolen therefrom upwards of M. in bank notes and silver, a silver watch, a ri ng , s i x s il ver teaspoons, and other articles, the property of Edward Ellice. Mr. MAUDE, with whom was Mr. ALDERSON, stated the case to the Jury. Maria Ellice examined by Mr. ALDERSON—My husband and I keep the Newton toll-gate; I remember the night of the Bth of March ; I sat by the fire, and was going to get the Bible to read, when I heard some person call °' gate;" I opened the dour and had just put my head through, when some person struck me in the face ; I strove to shut the door, when three or four men rushed in ; one knocked me on my face on the floor, and beat me very much on the head and body • I called out to my husband, and said, " Ed war d, t h ey ' re ki ll ing me ;" I then heard them emptying the t;ay-box, in which we keep the day's they put the money on the table; I heard them break a glass which contained.the saver spoons, and heard the spoons • ringing; this glass was in the parlour, wh ere we k e p t t h e monthly money -box _; I saw two men take the bag which con tained the money; there was a silver watch hanging up, which they took, and also six .silver spoons; there were a good many half-crowns in the box; after I had been lying on the floor for some time some one lifted me up by the ha i r, an d th rew me down behind the door, with my head against the clock ; the men had round jackets on, like those worn by the prisoners; I cannot speak to the persons of the men ; I was kept on the floor by one of the men. Cross-examined by Mr. ALEXANDER—T believe my hus band was asleep; 1 generally sit up till about twelve or one o'clock. Edward Ellice, examined by Mr. AlaunE.—l beard in wife go the door on the night in question. The next thing I heard was a cry of " Edward, they're killing me." I sat up in bed, when two men seized me by the neck. They dragged me off the bed, but I got on my feet on the ground, and struck at them with my left hand ; and drove them hack against the parlour-door ; I then only saw the two men who attacked me. The prisoners at the bar are the men ; I am sure of it ; I had seen M. White at different times before. Mr. Ward, the road surveyor, brought him and others up to my house two or th ree times to pay them th e i r wage s ; White then worked on the road, under Mr. Ward ; one of the men got me by the neck, and the other by the legs, and they threw me on the floor; they jumped on me, and pois'd (kicked) me with their feet, until I despaired of my lite. When they were kicking me, I heard some persons in the parlo u r, w h ere t h e money .b ox was kept ; the prisoners never left me ; I could not see where my wife was at that time ; i was cut over the eye, and on the nose (chewing the marks), and I had two ribs broken ; my wife pro cured assistance, and I was carried to my bed, where I was confined three weeks befbrc I could rise without assistance; I was 13 weeks before I could attend to my business ; I had upwards of 851. on the night in question ; I used to pay my money to Mr. 3. Ward, of Bradford ; he used to come to me once a month ; they took away upwards of 851. and some silver; I can't say how much ; there were two W. notes; ten guinea notes, and about 45 small notes.- In one purse there was upwards of 681., of which 101. was in half-crowns ; there was one 5/. note in it ; it was pinned to two guinea notes ; the prisoner Campfield h a d on a dark jacket on the night of the robbery. Jerry Dawn said, on the Otis March, I saw the prisoners, and two men named Connolly a nd Fitzpatrick, come dow n th e road ; I asked th em where they were going ? they said they were going to Wakefield to get a watch repaired, and that when they came back, if they had a shilling or sixpence to spare, they'd treat me to a quart of ale or two ; they all four came back in three quarters of an hour ; they went into the Union pnblic-hoose, and I followed them ; this was between five and six in the evening. I remained with them until about half-past eight. During that time, I answered for three quarts of alb for them, and they had a quart before I came in ; the asked niteitto parfOrehretrquarte tar them and sald therwonl4- - treat ma resat time t .I.hee went away, an d saw them no snore that night's know tt was on th e nth of March, a* the nest morning I heard of this robbery. George Smith examined—Michael White lodges in my fa ther's house, in Sandy-lane, between Wakefield and !Judders. field ; the last time I saw him was the 9th of March ; he did not sleep at home on the night before ; on the Sunday before I saw him and the other prisont^r with Fitzpatrick and 'rim Co nollv, a very tall man ; they were all standing talking togethet ; on the Monday morning, White set out fur Wakefield, with the other three men ; he came home on Tuesday morning, at nearly six o'clock ; he took his shirt and stockings and was go ing away ; I followed him ' lie said he was goin g to Hudders field, and would return in about a week ; the tall man, and the prisoner Campfield were with him; he gave no previous inti mation of his being about to leave. Jane Robinson said, Morris Campfield had lodged at her house for nine or ten weeks before the Bth of March ; Michael White lodged next door ; Campfield went from her house about eight. o'clock on the morning of the Bth of March ; he came hack between twelve and one o'clock at night ; Michael White, and another bit man, came back with him • they were brown velveteen jackets, and went away the following morning. Similar evidence was given respecting Connolly and Fitz patrick. Several persons were alio called, all of whom proved that the prisoners, accompanied by the two other men, called at their houses after the robbery had been committed ; they drank some ale, and.at one of the houses one of them changed a 51. note, which had been stolen from the toll-house, and he had also in his possession a quantity of half-crowns. Cropley, the constable of Littleborough, took the prisoners and other man into custody ; witness took Campfield and other; a constable named Stott took White and the tall man ; on the road the tall man made his escape ; witness searched them, but found no money; he had not then heard of this robbery; they might have had money without his finding it ; he took them on suspicion of another robbery. John Stott, another constable, assisted in taking the pri soners ; White gave his name Thomas ' Doyle, and Campheld gave his John M‘Grains. The others gave their names Mi chael Kinnesly and. Jonathan Collins. The tall man escaped on the road. They were put into the lock-up house all nigh and next day taken before the Magistrate. Doyle (Sihite paid a half-crown for some beer; M'Grains (Campfield) ha some silver in a cap, perhaps lbs. or 20s, They were com mitted to Manchester Gaol. - Derbyshire, a turnkey, fbund sa. on White, and on Cempfield It. (is. 6d. in hair-crowns and shillings. Mr. J. Wiseman produced the five-pound note received from Mr. Marsland. Mr. Shepherd, the gaoler of the Castle, at York, remem. bered going to Manchester with the prosecutor, about the latter end of April. The prisoners, who were then in the, New Rai. ley, were sent fo r; th ere w ere fi v e pr i soners i n a room together when prosecutor first looked at them ; lie afterwards saw the same persons among about fifty prisoners in the yard, and he immediately pointed o u t the prisoners at the bar, as the men who had ill used him ; he was quite positive as to their being the men. • The prisoner 'White said, the witness Browne had deposed to knowing him two years, whereas it was only 12 Months last Friday since h e l e f t I re l an d ; he protested his innocence of the robbery. The prisoner Campfield also strongly protested his innocence. Mr. ALEXANDER said, It now became his duty to offer to his Lordship one or two objections to the form of the indict ment. With respect to the breaking, he meant not to offer any observations upon it, as it had been ruled by_Mr. Justice Park, that obtaining admission by artifice was sufficient to con stitute a breaking and entering. But he maintained that the ownership of the house in question was not properly laid in the indictment. The prosecutor was a servant receiving weekly wages, paid no rent, and m i g ht be turned. out at a moment's notice. __ _ Air. Baron H ULLOCK read over his notes of this part of the prosecutor's evidence. Cllr. 4.I.ExAND - i•:a . proceeded : He cited 1 Leech, c. 1018, which states that " If servants or agents reside in that capacity. the house, if broken into, cannot be laid as their property. If public offices, in which public servants reside. be broken into —such, for instance, as Chelsea or Somerset House—the pro. perty must be laid as the King's 1 Leach, c. 324." The same applies to corporation s and public bodies. There was a case in the books, which made in tome Measure, the other way t but as it was a chse between a Lessor and Lessee, he con. ceived it did not apply, in as much all the prosecutor could not be looked upon as a lessee. 31r. Ward, he submitted, was the lessee under the trustees, and. the property ought to hare been laid as hi s . Air. Baron 11 u Ltdocir overruled the objection, observing that the Judges had recently' decided the other way; but observed, that if any thing turned upon it, the prisoners should bare the benefit of it.--31r. Baron llut.Locr. summed up the case, and the Jury, after retiring for a few moments, returned a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners, and the Learned Judge passed sentence of Death upon them. 31AIDSTONE, AUGUST 11. GPM. SIDE.--THE XING v. LAIWNS. This was an information at the instance of the Board of Cus toms, against the defendant, for assaulting and obstructing a seaman named White, of the Ramifies, engaged in the Smug gling Preventive Service. Five Learned Counsel (four being silk gowns) were e ng a ged for the prosecution. The defendant appeared In person, with out Counsel. It appeared front the statement of White, the principal witness, that on the morning of the 19th August last, lie was on duty near the bathing machines at Dover, and about ten o'clock he sa w severa l men go down to the beach and walk up to their middles in the water, and fish up six iw eight half ankers of foreign brandy. He followed ttwn, but in his pro gress he was stopped by the defendant, who seized. him round 'the middle and hove him down. Soma other men kept hint down, whilst the smugglers.walked ; • lolF7wlth their load. After struggling some minutes, he got loos lid overtook one t of the smugglers, and drawing hls cutlaf>r compelled him to run, leaving two half-ankers - behind, Which he seized and de livered at the Custom-house. These were the circumstances of the case. The defendant said nothing in answer to the charge, and h e was found Guilty. SMITIIETT V. STUAUT. This was an action upon the Cinque-Ports Pilot Act, to re cover penalties against the defendant for refusing to take on board a licensed pilot to naYigate a vessel, of which hc was the master, up the Thames. Mr. sergeant TADDY and Mr. PLATT conducted the plain tiff s case, and Mr. Mmt al-AT and Mt. ADOLPHUS the de. fondant's. The defendant was master and part owner of a trader'from Calais to London, of the burden of 70 tons. By the Cinque- Ports Pilot Act, 52 Geo. 111., vessels coming from foreign parts arc bound to take on board one of the pilots duly licensed under that statute, under a penalty not less than 201., and not exceeding 501., except coasters, and persons who are residents of any of the Cinque-Ports. It was proved that the defendant had arrived near Dover from Calais in April, 1823, when a Cinque-Ports pilot, named Gibbs, put off and tendered his ser vices, which were refused, on the ground that the defendant was a resident housekeeper in the town of Dover. The ques tion in the case was, whether, in point of fact, the defendant was a resident of Dover within the meaning of the Act. It ap. peered that he had been many years an inhabitant of Dover, and in April, 1023, he took a small house in that town at 104 a year, and boarded and slept there Whenever he was on Shore. It was contended that hie residence was merely colourable for the purpose of evading the statute. The case went to the Jury, under the Learned Judge's di. rections, as a question of fact, whether the defendant . * real. dence was tC)na fide, or merely colourable. The Jury found for the defendant. WEDNESDAY, AUG. 11. CROWN SIDE. William Feder was Indicted on the 52 Geo. II I. c. 143, for feloniously assembling, witlrother persons unknown, at Mm. ster, in the Isle of Thanet, on the 6th of May, armed, in order to be siding and assisting in the illegal running, landing, and carrying away certain uncustomed goods. The prisoner was also charged with assaulting certain-officers of the revenue. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found the prisoner Guilty. Judgment of death was recorded, but the Learned Judge told him that he should be recommended as an object of Royal clemency. Michael lloarlk4 and Thomas Ricluirdion were indicted for bttrglariously breating and entering the dwelling-house of RI. chard Crandall, of Leigh, on the night of the 2 4 th of April, and 11Attut Atsrojti stuatitity,candhseolessLothig &tootle.

SIR EDW. POORE, BART. This was an action nominally agatbst the Sheriff, but sub stantially against Mr. Jarvis, for the recovery of a sum of 2001. which had been levied under an execution in . Mardh last. The plaintiff was assignee to a man named Burgess, who is since dead, and the question was, whether or not the act .of bank ruptcy took place before the date of the execution. The chief evidence to chew that the act of bankruptcy pre ceded the levying of the exemtiok,was that of the lite bank rupt's daughter. Mr. Sergeant PELL, in the course of his reply, was inter rupted frequently by the harking of a mastiff dog in the fair, which Wag held in the vicinity of the Court. At length the overoowered those of the I v ieTr l n p ec o l v S e e rl ig o ea f n d t le th d a og t t s l o le co la n t l t p e i r ely pleasantly observed--" Gen tlettien, if you please I will stop until the opposing counsel has concluded his address ."--( A laugh.)—The dog, however, per severed. " Ile is not, I assure yoi, - Gentlemen,, looking sig nificantly at Mr. Adam), the only dogmatical counsel who sometimes makes his voice heard." Mr. As Ast—Go on, brother. Mr. Sergeant PELL—Gentlemen, you hear Mr. Acton says "Go on, brother ;" lamat a loss to know—is the brother in side or outside the Court ?—(A. laugh.) The Learned Sergeant then proceeded with his addrtss. Verdict for the plaintiff'. COI4.INGS V. NEWMAN. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. Just as the Special Jury had been sworn, the defendant yielded to the tests proposed by the plaintiff'—namely, to pay her 2501. and coats. He held out for a considerable time, having offered 200/., which would not be accepted. Mr. sergeant WILDE, who was leading Counsel for the plaintiff, then stated, that he was extremely happy to inform the Jury, that they would bi sp are d the trou bl e of an inquiry upon this occasion, the defendant having consented to the terms proposed to him. It was extremely painful to the party bring ing this action to be obliged to undergo such en exposure ; but the Jury must be well aware, that When a gentleman has paid l:is addresses to a young lady for some time, and that he mid. denly forsakes her, the injured party is always liable to the suspicion of r.. Sergeant PELL (Counsel for the defendant)---" Brother Wilde, is this regular ?" Mr. Serjeant Lim —" I beg you may leave it to my Otis _ cretion."— But the consequence of the breaking off the inter. c ou r se was always attended with injurious aurmisel to the female. He was happy to be able to state, on the assurance of the defendant's Counsel , that the defendant had no reason, and did not intend, to cast the slightest imputation on the lady's character. Mr. Serjeant Ps LL said that he had advised his client, on what groUnds he' did not think it necessary to explain, to tie. cede to wcoMpromise. The gentleman was: since married ; and, were it not for particular circumstances, he would not have so advised his client. A Verdict was then taken for the 'plaintiff—Damages, 2501. CRISIIIIAL VIDE. and jokhinurnaormaibagnes,a only 9 years, was conV i cted of maiming the p ro perty of David Coombs, his em pinyer, in the parish of Idmerston. . The princip a l. ev id e nce was the boy's own confes s i on , as taken before the Magistrate. He acknowledged the crime, and said he did it through revenge, his'inaxtir buying beaten him. He was sentenced to be transported for 7 years ; but the sen tence was commuted to twelve months imprisonment in the Penitentiary. DERBY, normsr, AUG. 9. The Commission was opened hero onSaturday by Chief Jus tice BEST and Mi. Justice IloLnoYD. The calendar was excectlinglylight. The cause list contained 17 cauieslor trial. NISI PRIUS COURT.—TUESDA.T. PARK V. SAVILLE, CLERK. the price of . This was an action in ass urnptit for :200 guineas, a liittiter sold by the plaintiff to the revererid'defend ant . Air. CLARKE (withwhom was!leaden st a t e d t h e case to the . Jury (a special one). The plaint iff was Major Park, a gen tleman of great r es p ecta bility, of Highfield-house, near Liver pool, and better known to his Learned friends abOut him as the brother of n_ gentleman of great eminence at the bar, Mr. James Park. The defendant was ihe _Hon. and Her. Lunt)* Saville, a clergyman bf sporting celibiits , in this neightioitt hood. The period to which the transaction to which the present proceeding referred was in February, last year, when Major Park happened to be in these parts on'a visit to his nephew, Sir George Sitwell. It would appear that the Major had at this time with him a very valuable brown hunter, which he had no intention to part with. The animal was a great favourite, and he had but a short time before refused 150 guineas for it. The defendant coming to the knowledge of there being such a horse to be disposed of, and being at the time in want Ora strong horse to carry his huntsman (for he keeps a pack of fox hounds), made overtures to Major Park on the subject, and came himself' to Sir George Sitwell's for the purpose of seeing the hunter. He was accordingly indulged with the fullest trial, and after riding him 'himself, and seeing theplaintiff's groom put the horse through his paces, he professed hint self willing to conclude a bargain. The horse had'shied nt some of the leaps with the groom, but the Rev.. Gentleman said, "he did not mind that, for ifany of his whippers-in had him, they would soon make him do his business.' After sonic ne gotiation, the price agreed upon was 200 guineas ; and at the defendant's desire, the horse was sent to Worksop, to be examined by a farrier, after which the bargain was under tood to be concluded. Major Park had, in the meantime, gone in a carriage to Spankerhill, where the defendant's hounds were to draw cover, end where he was to have touch ed the cash. But for some cause or other the money was not forthaiming, and Major Park, who was about to leave for France, commissioned Sir George Sitwell to act upon this occa ,sion as his receiver. As the approbation of the farrier was the only stay to the payment of the two hundred guipeas, it was unnecessary to say that MajOr Park never gave a warranty of the horse. • It.had been'ainco said, that the horse had corns in his feet, and upon this ground it was that paymont was re. sisted ; but - if this objection really existed, it ought to have been made in. the- first instance, and not after seven weeks, which was the time the defendant thought proper to keep the horse. It wo u ld b e s h own t h at he boughthim early in February, but never made the objection until the end of March, full seven weeks, embracing the greater part of' the hunting season. He was then returned to Sir George Sitwell's in so miserable a condition, that Sir George, seeing him pass the window, Was unable to recognize him, but thought he was a horse for hi s hounds. Ile was quite ame, his knees broken, and altogether out of' condition. The horse was eventually sent to a livery- stable in Liverpool, after giving notice to the defendant that he must be maintained there at his cost. Such was the case which would be proved ; and after it had been shown that the defendant took the horse relying upon the skill of his farrier, there could be no doubt as to the legality and juctice of the plaintiff's claim. Sir George Sitwell said he lived in this county, and was the plaintiff's nephew. Recollects in February last Mr. Lumley Saville, on a morning visit at his house, proposing to buy . Major Park's brown hunter. At his request a groom trotted him out, but the horse refused to take some of the leaps. Mr. Saville. attributed the failure to the bad address of the rider, and ex pressed his confidence that One of his whippers-in would make him do his business. lie subsequently. remarked that he was a slow gallopper. Witness has seen the horse hunted, and thought he performed well. When he stated to Mr. Saville that lie was commissioned to receive .the money, the latter replied, that he believed the horse had corns in his feet. He, however, thought proper to keep him until the end of March, when lie sent bins to witness's stables in a' ad condition. Witness had him brought to Mrs. Park's (the plaintiff's mother), and he was subse. quently sent to a livery-stable. The money had never been paid. Cross-examined—Witness had known the horse upwards of three yeses; he was at this time too fat for hunting, and Mejor Park himself proposed to subject him to a course to bring him down. The stator had recommended the horse as a perfect hunter, but witness had no recollection of any thing being sAid about soundess. Mr. Saville said he wanted him for his hunts man. Nothing was said of his stopping short. No other ob. jection was made than that his shoes were too heavy. The bar over which the trial of his leaping was made was very low. Witntss does not think it was a good test for a hunter. Re-examined—lle was a large horse, and had just come (ilia journey. A horse upon a journey will require larger shoes Oman when upon the turf. The defendant never offered to re. turn the horse on account of the corns. John Fidler, a servant of Major Park's ' took the horse, by Atirille*l (lithe; to his f arr i er a t iVorksop. Mr. Saville Mime'. was there, and said he would meet the plaintiff in a day or two, and give him a check for the money. No ob jection was made respecting his corns. Witness had attended the horse for three years, and never observed him to be affected with corns. Cross-examined.—Witness had never said that he was a Lumbering horse, and that he was glad his master had got rid of him. Cannot account for his not taking his leaps with wit ness, as he generally took them well. Cannot speak to his age, as he never looked into his mouth. Joseph Weedon, Mrs. Park's coachman, said that the horse was in good condition when the plaintiff' sold him, but that he was much reduced when he was returned. Ile had all the ap pearance of a broken-down horse, and there were caps to con ceal his broken knees. ills shoes were not fitted to his feet.— Witness never had a Suspicion that the florae had corns. Cross-examined.—Witness believes the shoes in which the horse was returned were the sante he had on when he was bought. Two letters were put in to chew that the defendant acquiesced in the demand which watt made to him for the money imme diately after the purchaie, and that he made no objection to the state of his feet. This was the plaintiff", case. 111 r. Sergeant VAUGHAN then opened a case for the defence, which he rested entirely upon a distinct warranty, w hich he should prove had been given with the horse. • He then called the defendant's farrier, who swore that Major Park, in his presence, warranted the horse to be " sound, free from vice, and rising,► eight." The witness i contra from his observation, insisted that he was unsound, inasmuch as he had corns which lamed him ; vicious, because he balked every leap ; and as to his age, there was no accounting; for that, as all the Marks were out of his mouth. He admitted, however, that all these defects, if any such ever. existed, were all known to the Rev. defendant a day or two after he had bought the horse. Half a dozen other witnesses, some of them the defendant's servant's, were called to speak to the unsoundnesis of the horse. One fellow, maugre the testimony of Sir G. Sitwell, who mis took the horse for a dog-horse as he was passing his window, swore that he was in a better condition when he was returned than when he was bought. Another, that the day on which he was employed by his master to try the horse was a Sunday. The delay in returning the horse was not accounted for. CLARIM, in his reply, warmly animadverted upon the sort of defence which had been attempted to be set • uti, and the Learned Judge, in charging the Jury, regretted that the de fendant had been advised to bring the action intoCourt.—Verdict fur the plaintitl—DaMeges 2011'guineits. STAFFORD, Ave. 10.

Per 4 Grace, of his Majesty's. ship Cyrene," is now returning with her, in obedience to Admiralty Orders, to Europe ; and as I am led to fear that his con= duct in taking a French vessel may have been the muse of these orders, and may, perhaps, retard his promotion, trust that I shall not be deemed trespassing the proper line of discretion, in humbly volunteering to express my meat regrets at his departure, and the opinion 1 entertain of his zeal for his Majesty's service. Recent information fully proves alit the traffic in slaves is continued to be carried on in full vigoui by the French ; during the period of eighteen months, ne less than five vessels have taken cargoes at shebar, the mouth of the Shcrbro ; as the Galina, a n d Cape Mount have not heen visited for several months by our cruizera, the exact number of slaves has not been ascertained, but I am informed on good an t . thority, that scarcely one month has elapsed without two or three French vessels being thus employed at those places; and by the arrival of a Danish schooner we have information, that she fell in with two at the Galinas, and one at Cape Mount.
