N, hen he was ill that he had only got the fever from 1' ing drunk, and that a little work would do him r..-nod. Never had been found asleep on the deck in I' - ie forenoon. On the passage from Prince's Island Teneriffe the prisoner beat witness most cruelly, tut for what he could not tell. He believed the !4aniards they took on board came from a slave ship that was captured. The homeward cargo was from 20 to 12,0001. value. The whole crew were in a state of exhaustion when the vessel arrived, from the great exertions they had made to keep the vessel afloat. It NVas about a week or a fortnight after Jose was s;: ruck with the piece of wood that he died. The ve3sel was in so bad a state, that upon several occa r:ons when witness was at the helm she would not ▪ Jswer it, but turned round in a contrary direction. 1 _ ney were ten days at Teneriffe.before any complaint • as made against the Captain of ill usage. The pri ',Tier had then made no complaint to the authorities • ith respect to the vessel and the crew. Witness - - ver was drunk either on the voyage outwards or oreewards. Henry Allen, a black, was shipped on board the r7ow, at Liverpool as steward—The vessel went to Peilin and Prince's Island, the ship was then in a i( - /y leaky state. Recollected some gentlemen coming board at Prince's Island and had some conversa )n with the prisoner. One of them said, " Only hear I .w your men are pumping. You are going home I a winter's coast, and the men will become ex- I .sated and cannot pump," to which the prisoner re ! •td, he would make them. Witness knew Jose, Spaniard, who died; he used to be called Sarno ) 11a, and also Grand-dad. The prisoner usedhim very i and repeatedly flogged him. Did not know what he • it fbr as the man seem e d to be doing all he Jt.td. The captain used to floe- Samorella on all r Sts of his body, and one of his ands mortified from The captain beat Samorella about two days ' , fore he died, he was at this time in a very bad state, could not do anything. The night before Sarno died, he was called by Joseph Fisher, the then 1. late to cone on deck, but could not, in consequence f... the state of his health. He was then hoisted upon tack. Saw Samorella the next morning at seven o clock, he seemed then to be half dead. Did not I r,i3w whether the captain saw him again. Samorella fl o gged a great deal by the captain two clays be f 're his death. The crew were very badly fed ; they Lod only half a pound of bread, half a pound of meat, Lsid three quarta of water, to last them twenty-four b iurs. There was no difference made with respect t the Spaniards while witness was steward. The Lptain had the same allowance the others had. Cross-examined by Mr. ClRxsoN—Did not know }tether the Spaniards were shipped at Prince's Island te able seamen. Recollected when Samorella was b low sick. The captain . gave him brandy and w ae. This was about three days before he i 1. He also gave him medicine. John had never been charged with being drunk, a‘f witness had never seen him so. He and Captain agreed very well, off and on, but now ST d then he flogged him. When the Captain dis c' 'urged him, he struck him severely on the head veral times, with a piece of wood, just as if he was g ing to knock down a bullock. Samorella was at pump the day before he died. Witness was dis ci arged from being steward before Samorella died, c he could not tell the day or the month when that 1 -- ick place. L' -examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—The Captain beat Samorella after he gave him the medicine, and brandy a:.l-1 wine. Peter Jerrold, examined by Mr. Waddington 1N ent on board the Jarrow in March 1841, as a sailor. B afore they left Benin, the ship sprung a leak. Re c Ilected four Spaniards coming on board at Prince's 1 land. One of them was named Samorella, whom had seen the Captain beat several times. He beat hi ii the first day with a rope's end over the shoulder, 1' cause he said he did not work hard enough at the ,rnps ; and on another occasion he struck him with LI fists. Samorella was taken ill a fortnight before his th ; during that time he had seen the Captain beat him to , the pump, and tell the apprentice to put him on lb If allowance, as he was not worth his grub. This is about six days before he died. Saw the prisoner a Santa Cruz, when he was a prisoner there at the ( :stle. He said to witness that he had once been in a fitssel where there were three Spaniards on board, w 10 got masters of the ship, and that he had never ed Spaniards singe._ _ t 'ross-exarnined by Mr. CLARKSON—The Spaniards f.at came on board at Prince's Island did not appear in il: health. Witness could not say that Samorella di .d from too hard work and want of provisions. 11 . itness examined the body after death. It had a at 'ere cut on the right hand, from which matter e Tie some days before Samorella died. The Spa n rds did as much work as some of the English, and rn ,re than others. Witness told the prisoner, when .y were put on short allowance, that it would be ir. possible for the men to work unless they had more yr :visions ;to which he replied that he'd be d—d if tlr should not have less before they had more. Vi - ' - tness, on another occasion, said that if they ba not had the Spaniards aboard, and the cc cw had had their provisions, they would hye done better. Until four days! before they to' Santa Cruz it was not necessary to keep all .ids at the pump day and night. Witness had been at the helm, and had seen the prisoner there and P her. The vessel did not answer the helm well, • he had known her go round. lohn Gorman, cook on board the Jarrow, gave ih liar evidence to the last witnesses as to the manner iiL .chich Samorella was treated by the prisoner. He be' teved the man died through ill-treatment, severe Le leng, and starvation. Charles Washington Teacorrie, an American, and a, • .iilor who was on board th e arrow, gave similar tP imony. On one occasion he had known the pri so ler beat Samorella for upwards of a quarter of an ht with a rope on the feet and legs. Samorella • vared to be in pretty good health before this time, • t afterwards began to get ill. This was the case for the prosecutfon. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) .IARGE OP ATTEMPTING TO STAB A POLICEMAN CIitARTIST MEETING.— William Checketts, aged 0 , , described in the calendar as a sawyer, was in cl.: 'Ad for attempting to stab a police constable. There wa another count, charging him with obstructing tlu constable in the execution of his duty ; and an ot: er count, charging him with a common assault. 4r. Bodkin having stated the case for the prosecu ti( called the following witnesses ''-.111 Jones—l am a police constable. I recollect being ort luty on Aug. 22 last, at Bishop's-road, oppos i te t h e tva sinus of the Great 'Western kailway, at about six deb :ek. There was a great mob assembled. There 124-1 been a meeting there. The persons there were bt tng and pelting the police with stones. I w ordered to disperse the mob in Bishop's-road, al 1 in so doing I came in contact with the prisoner. w ues.ted the snob to disperse. A person behind me p 1.," L ed - rne and the prisoner down together. When wit were on the ground the prisoner opened the knife i c ed with his left hand, and made a hook at me viii it. Ho aimed at the lower part of my body, a ra s aid, "I am fighting for my rights ; now you or IL" I saw the knife,and instantly rolled my se lf sr. 7 . y. The knife was within eight or ten inches of v , t when he aimed at me. I saw him open it; he cut b „finger in so doing. The krilfe had been fresh si.a rpened. Another policeman then came up, and the prisoner was taken into custody, and taken to the eta ion-house. Dunkrev the other policeman, struck hn 1 on hi s h an d with his staff, and took the knife frc m him. ;rose -examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—I was di ree by the Inspector to' disperse the mob in the ovv. I had atruncheon in my hand. I struck no 13 1 whatever with it. 'When the prisoner got up I .Vtil not observe his head bleeding. His hand was ble Ain* When we. went to the station-house the , oner complained of his head, but I did not look to eel there was anything the matter with it.

When I first saw them on the ground they ▪ as close as they could be, lying by the side of • . other. The prisoner had rather the advantage *I constable. • Ai. BALLASTINE, for the defence, contended here was no proof that the prisoner had com xr.'t :cd any act of violence until he came in contact wit the police-constable. It was for the Jury to say vh a the nature of that contact was. Could they be- Ea, the policeman hati been guilty of the inhumanity of yr.:t looking at the prisoner's head ? He (Mr. Bal lvit tie) did not believe it. He believed that they ...zcertained that the man's head had been cut, and th : they would not admit it. Re did not believe the ▪ at all. The police-constabl e had no business to co fie into contact.with the old man at all ; and if any on , of the jury had found himself in a similar pon tio 1 to that in which the pri soner was placed, he 1v;)Al not be an Englishman if he did not defend him set. The prisoner had 'acted solely to relieve him ta. from a gross act of oppression on the part of a pctice-constable. I3y the law of the land, English me had a right to meet for free discussion, and as lo: as they conducted themselves quietly, no one hat a right to interfere with them. If the prisoner chi to go among the mob quietly, to see what they • were doing, he had a perfect right to do so. The i story told by the police was a doubtful one ; and although the prisoner took out his clasp knife, he did it only to frighten the policeman, and having done so, did not attempt any further harm. With regard to the expression said to have been used by the prisoner, " I am fighting for my rights"— The RscoRDER—I have got it down, I am fighting for my life. Mr. BALLANTINE had no doubt but that the Re corder had the words down which the prisoner had actually used. The prisoner was fighting for his life ; he had acted merely in self-defence, and he trasted the Jury would acquit him. Several persons gave the prisoner an excellent cha racter as a quiet, steady, orderly man. The RECORDER in summing up said—There could be no doubt but that persons had a right to meet quietly to discuss grievances, but whether pelting and hooting the police could be called quietly dis cussing grievances, was quite another thing. With regard to the alleged blow on the head, the prisoner had not called a single witness to prove that he had received any such blow, and therefore there was no pretence for alleging that any such blow had been given. The Jury having deliberated a short time, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The RECORDER—Do you mean to say that the prisoner did not commit an assault ? The Foreman—He did not mean to stab. The RECORDER—No, but there is another count charging him with a common assault. Do you think he opened his knife by accident ? You had better reconsider your verdict. Mr. BALLANTINE attempted to interfere. • The RECORDER—I shall not permit you to say anything, Mr. Ballantine, until the Jury have consi dered their verdict, and I shall not receive the verdict until I am convinced that the Jury thoroughly under stand what they are trying. Gentlemen of the Jury, recollect that you are sworn to deliver a verdict accord ing to the evidence, and that this attempting to stab or strike in law constitutes an assault, although there may be no battery. If you disbelieve the evidence altogether, you will do right to acquit the prisoner. Oe of the Jury—l do not believe the evidence. The Foreman—He committed the assault. The RECORDER—You had better reconsider your verdict. The Jury having deliberated some time, turned round to deliver their verdict. The Clerk of the Arraigns—Gentlemen, are you agreed upon your verdict ? How say you, is the pri soner, William Checketts, guilty or not g u ilty ? The Foreman—We find him guilty on the first count. Mr. BALLANTINE—No, no ; that is the count with intent to stab. The Foreman—Then it is on the second. The RECORDER—You should understand the dif ferent counts, Gentlemen of the Jury. The first count charges him with intent to stab. On that count you have acquitted him. The second count charges him with assaulting a police-constable in the execution of his duty, and the third count charges him with a common assault. On which count do you find him guilty ? The Foreman—We find him guilty of a common assault. The Recorder was about to pass sentence, when Mr. BODKIN interfered, and said there was another indictment against the prisoner, which he should wish to proceed with. The prisoner was then remanded, while the Com t adjourned for refreshment. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Chambers conducted the pro secution, and Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoner. INDICTMENT AGAINST A CHAreTIST.--On the re-as sembling of the Court, Samuel lifunday and William Checketts (the latter the same prisoner who had been convicted of an assault in the former case). were in dicted for riotously assembling a crowd of persons, and for inciting them to commit a breach of the peace. Mr. CHAMBERS for the prosecution said, that he did not think the evidence was sufficient against Checketts, and, therefore, should offer no evi dence against him, but would consent at once to a verdict of acquittal as regards Checketts. With regard to the other defendant, it would appear, that on the 22d of August, there was a tumultuous as semblage of persons near the terminus of the Great Western Railway. The police were ordered to clear the road, the people became excited, and pelted the police, and Munday was there present, exciting the people to violence. Among other expressions made use of by Munday, was the following:— "lam a Chartist—Follow me—l will not turn back for any one—Liberty or death." Those who excited ' persons to commit acts of violence were certainly more culpable than those who were led away to com mit those acts, and the authorities would have been guilty of great negligence if they had abstained from prosecuting a man who was making use of language to excite to a breach of the peace. The police who heard him took him into custody, and he was now on his trial for that offence. The Learned Counsel then called the following evidence : John Champ, P 137-1 was on duty near the terminus of the Great Western Railway on the night in question, about seven o'clock. There were between 5,000 and 6,000 present near where the prisoner was taken from. There were other groups. They were going backwards and forwards over the bridge, where I was on duty. I then went further down, near the assemblage. I saw sticks and stones flying about. I saw Munday come out of the Prince of Wales Hotel, waving his hat, calling out "Follow me, you b--, we'll have liberty or death. lam a Chartist, and will not turn for any one." A great crowd was following him; he was going in the direction of the middle of the mob. I did not see any stones flying at the time. At the Green I took him into custody. After I took him into custody he said "I do not care where you take me," and addressed the same language to the mob which he heard on coming out of the tavern. By the RECORDER—There was no attempt a. rescuing him. Zach - ariah Davis, police constable—l was on duty at the place in question on 22d August, from five o'clock to nearly eight. I was there when Munday was taken into custody ; that was about eight. There was a great crowd collected before he was taken. There were from 3,000 to 4,000 persons there between seven and eight. When he was in custody, the mob were throwing stones and using violent language. I saw him come out of the hotel. His hat was off, and he said, " Now, - you b—, follow me; I'm going to adjourn the meeting. Adjourn the meeting; we will have liberty or death." He then went across to the Green, and the crowd followed him. The crowd began to be riotous. By RECORDER—What did they do ? Witness— They used threatening language, and threw stones at the police. That was before he was taken into custody. I saw several stones thrown at the Super intendent after the prisoner had used the expression ; and while he was going to the Green, before he was taken into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—When he was going to the station-house, he said "Follow me." I did not say `• Now I have got the leader of them it will be all right ;" nor did I hear any other policeman say so. My hat was hit by a stone. It was not cut. It was a bad hat before. I was not hurt by the stone. I was kicked while I was going to the station house. George Galbin f another policeman on duty on the night in question said—l saw a number of stones thrown at the police. I saw Munday there ; there were stones thrown before and after I saw him. I saw him take his hat off and bow to the mob several times. He then said—" Gentlemen, I come to adjourn this meet ing to the Working Man's Hall, Circus-streef, New road. Come on, follow me; we will have libsrty or death." Some person in the crowd hallooed out " He's a Chartist." He said, "I know I'm a Chartist." I did not hear anything he said after he was in custody, the mob was so great, and there was such pushing. By the RECORDER—I saw him come from the hotel. Inspector Laing—l was present at the meeting in question at about six o'clock. I saw Munday there as soon as I came. He was about the bridge. My attention was drawn to him by seeing him, as I thought, in custody, and seeing him return again. I saw him again some time afterwards standing on the bank with his hat off, addressing the mob. He said, " Gentlemen, I must move that the meet ing do adjourn to Circus-street." Just before that stones were flying in all directions. He made use of some expressions after he was taken into custody, but I was not near enough to hear. The crowd followed him, but did not attempt to rescue him. There were too many police. Cross-examined by Mr. P_ RENDERGAST—I was not examined in this case before the Magistrates. Mr. CHAMBERS—That is the case, my Lord. Mr. PRENDERGAST—Does your Lordship think there is a case to go to the Jury. Inspector Laing was about to interfere, when he waslhN seve r g el o y to re t p h r e im j a u t r id y e . d by Mr. Prendergast. RECORDER thought there was sufficient evi dence to Mr. go f or the prisoner more absu r d c h arge was never heard. Here, t ilitatapa peared, that, accordingth to . the evidence, there was a riotossemblage i • meet u ing I to disperse e agnuid npetsloynehr by i d t n his best ing t t t o h a g t e t the t e meeting do adj ourn, him into custody, because t if i , . a e l r l efore the police took journ quietly there wou ld be no business s fo r: t e h r e e p t o o l i a e d e - . Nothing could be more scandalous than the foul lan guag.e which the first two policemen had attempted to put into the mouth of his client. Would not any man so addressing a crowd have been torn in .pieces 9 No doubt of it; besides, they had the it in the evidence . of the other policemen, that he ad crowd as g entlemen. Could they believe those first policemen e ? He could not believe them. Besides, therew h as y, n h o e proof that this was an illegal meeting. w would ask, was such a meeting to be dispprsed? And as to the stout's and sticks, why even in the crowd I THE SUN, LONDON, SAttitilalr MORNING, SEPTEMBER, 24, 1842. assembled to see the performances of punch, they would often find dirt, and sometimes a dead cat, and sometimes a stone thrown by an idle boy. That would happen at every meeting, and were they to have policemen brought there to give evidence of the meeting being disorderly, because sticks and stones were flying about ? But where was the evi dence of any body being hurt? There was no evidence of any body being struck, except a policeman, who had on an old hat, which received no injury from the blow. In what consisted the illegality of the meeting? Where was the proof of its disorderly conduct ? There was none. The RECORDER—HOW is it that we have no evi dence as to what the meeting was assembled for. Mr. CHAMBERS—I have no evidence to offer on that point. - The RECORDER—There may have been a riotous assemblage, but all the evidence we have is, that this man came out of a public-house, flourished his hat, and made the short address alluded to, and was then very properly marched off to the station• house, to prevent his doing mischief. Mr. CHAMBERS—I am entirely in the hands of the Jury and the Court. The RECORDER—There can be no doubt that a meeting assembled for a breach of the peace is an illegal meeting; but we have no evidence here as to the character of the meeting. We have only this very ridiculous man making that very ridiculous speech, and that made still more ridiculous by being marched off to the station-house. He appears to have been as harmless a hero as can well be imagined. The Jury then acquitted both prisoners. Munday was then discharged, and Checketts, for the assault of which he had been previously convicted, was sentenced to be imprisoned one month in the Penitentiary at Milbank. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YE STE RDAY.) GUILDHALL. Joseph Potter and Eliza Goodwright were charged with stealing a silver watch, three wedding rings, a silver box, a steal chain, and 9s. 6d. in money, the property of Joseph Potter, a pensioner in Greenwich Hospital. The prosecutor stated that the male prisoner was his son, and on Wednesday took away the property named. The female prisoner admitted having pawned the watch. The other articles were not found. The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday. CLERKENWELL. John Burdon, a working jeweller, employed at Mr. Jones's jewellery establishment, Red Lion-street, was charged with assaulting Mr. Ashcombe, surgeon, Gracechurch-street. Complainant said he was walk ing on Pentonville-hill last night between nine and ten o'clock, when he was struck a violent blow by a drunken man, to whom he had not gi ven th e s li g ht es t provocation ; he tore his shirt ; and treated him in the rudest manner. Witness turned round for the pur pose of giving the assailant into custody, when the prisoner, who was perfectly sober, struck him a violent blow on the left eye. The prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. Mr. GREENWOOD—Why did you not give the person who assaulted you into custody ? Mr. Ash combe—l begged of police-constable N 150 to take him into custody. I showed him my shirt, which was all torn, as well as my dress, but he refused taking him into his charge. Mr. GREENWOOD—This seems very strange. Po liceman, why did you not take the first person who assaulted this gentleman into custody ? Police constable—Because there wa s no mar k ofviolence on the body of Mr. Ashcombe, and because the drunken man gave Mr. Ashcombe in charge as well as Mr. Ashcombe the drunken man. Mr. GREENWOOD—SO a gentleman walking quietly along the street may have his dress torn to tatters off his back, and no policeman will take the ruffian who so maltreats him into charge, because his flesh is not cut or bruised. is it possible that such a rule can exist among the police force ? Here a gentleman has his dress torn ; the party he complains of is drunk and disorderly, and is given into charge by the person thus grossly assaulted, and the policeman refuses to take the charge ; and the cause of all the riot is allowed to walk off unmolested. Such conduct is most reprehensible. The prisoner was fined 75., or seven days' imprison ment and hard labour. WORSHIP-STREET. Frederick Hawkes Nottage, described as an author, who stood charged with having unlawfully disposed of four sets of navels belonging to Mr. Hancock, the proprietor of a circulating library in the City-road, was put to the bar for further examination. Mr. Shepherd, the Secretary to the Duke of Argyle, now attended, and informed the Magistrate, that in consequence of an application from the pri soner, his Grace consented to become a subscriber to his work, and the Duchess gave him permission to publish her name as a patroness. The sum of 10 s., the amount of the Duke's subscription, was forwarded to the prisoner, but, upon receiving it, he wrote a laconic and peremptory letter to her Grace, demand ing, rather than requesting, her to send him a similar remittance. The policeman, Cross, stated that he found at least three hundred letters at the prisoner's lodgings, from persons of distinguished rank, amongst which there were about twenty from the Secretary of her Ma jesty, Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Kent. He had prepared a list of the noblemen from whom the prisoner had obtained money, and it appeared that th e Duke of Newcastle had regularly transmitted him 11. per week for nearly a twelvemonth. The MAGISTRATE inquired whether there were any fresh charges of felony against him ? The policeman said that six other cases had been discovered, only one of which, however, was complete. Mrs. Martha Haynes,i of No. 60, Basinghall-street, deposed, that in the early part of the present year she kept a bookseller's shop in the City-road. During the months of April and May the prisoner visited her shop daily, and obtained an immense number of works, which he failed to return. Mr. BROUGHTON said that he should commit the prisoner upon the charges preferred by Mrs. Hancock and Mrs. Haynes, both of which he considered clear cases of felony. , After preparing the depositions, Mr. Vine, the Chief Clerk, intimated to the Magistrate that about six years ago, when he officiated at Bow-street, the prisoner was committed from that Court upon a charge of forgery, of which he was afterwards con victed and sentenced to fourteen years' transportation, but by what means he obtained his liberty he was unable to state.—Remanded until Tuesday. UNION-HALL. Yesterday policeman 117 L was charged with re fusing to take a man into custody, who had, it was alleged, committed a robbery. John Spilling stated, that he lived at No. 7, Bull's Head-court, Strand, and that on Saturday night, having been to see some friends on the Surrey side of the water, as he was passing the Black Prince in the Walworth-road, he observed two men and a woman standing near the door of the house. When he had passed the house a short distance, one of the men fol lowed him, and, seizing him by the leg, threw him down ; but he recovered himself, and on rising he was struck by his assailant, and he re turned the blow. While they were scuffling with one another in the road, the other man and woman rushed on, and at the moment he (complainant)felthis watch drawn from his pocket. He immediately cried out for assistance, and the defendant coming up at the moment, he related what had previously occurred to him, and also the fact of his being robbed of his watch, and charged one of the men with being the person who took it, desiring the policeman to take him into custody. Defendant, however, refused to a complainant ina n being t)h in had i b lu e o n r d a r th i k time,ng previously but o although th take the charg e , on t h e ground, as he said, of the e h ( c (complainant) outrage, yet he was perfectly sensible, and had the use of all his faculties, and recollected everything that passed on the occasion. lie added, he did not bring the charge forward out of any vindictive feeling towards the policeman, but merely for public justice. The defendant said, that he was disappointed in the attendance of witnesses, who would he enabled to prove that there were no just grounds for the accu sation made against him, and that if the case was allowed to stand over, he should be enabled to refute the charge. Mr. COTTINOHAM said, that the charge was one of such a grave nature, as affected the policeman, that he should allow the defendant the benefit of having his witnesses in attendance to rebut it, if they were in a condition to do so ; and a day was accordingly ap pointed for that purpose. LAMBETH -STREET. Yesterday 'Michael Rowan and Thomas Allen, two well-known thieves, were brought before Mr. Henry, for final examination, on a charge of daring highway robbery, accompanied with great personal violence. From the evidence it appeared.that on the night of Sunday fortnight, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, the prosecutor, Mr. John Allen, while proceeding along High-street, Whitechapel, was at tacked by the prisoners, one of whom cave him a violent blow, which knocked him down, and the other instantly placed his hand over his mouth to prevent his giving an alarm. They then tore open his waist coat, and snatched away his watch from the guard. A little boy who witnessed the robbery swore posi tively to the identity of the prisoners as being the persons who had committed the robbery, and they were fully committed for trial. A foreman in the employment of the widow of a master carman, applied to Mr. Henry for his assist ance, under the following circumstances : - The applicant said, that the daughter of his mis tress, a girl of twelve years of age, had got to her mother's cash-box and made free with from 41. , to 51. of its contents. After possessing herself of the money, she proceeded to the shop of a bird-fancier in the neighbourhood and purchased a parrot, ajay, two or three linnets, and other birds, for which she had altogether paid upwards of 4/. Her mother on dis covering what her daughter had been doing, and having no fancy for such articles, proceeded to the shop of the bird-dealer, and offered (though she con sidered he had acted very improperly in selling such things to so young a girl) to sacrifice 10s. of the money, provided the remainder was given back. This the bird-fancier refused to comply with, but merely offered to purchase back the birds at the trade price. Mr. HENRY desired that the mother of the girl should attend and depose to the facts stated, when he would grant a summons against the party. PRICES oF 1)04: it , A ssur.- AA LE co2ip.A.N Lte. &c.

Amongst the arrivals at Cologne, on the 17th instant, were the. Hereditary Grand Duke of Meek lemburg Strelitz, Prince George of Cambridge, and. M. Van de Weyer, the Belgian M ni3ter to the Court of London. THAMES-POLICE. Yesterday William Henry Stokes, Thomas Brom ley, and Thomas Turnbull, appeared before Mr. Bal lantine, charged with obstrulting and assaulting Mr. Robert Garrett, the London Dock-master, in the exe cution of his duty, and blockading the entrance lock. at Wapping, in such a manner, that the egress of vessels and craft was for some time prevented, and great confusion prevailed. Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor, prosecuted on the part of the London Dock Company, and said the de fendants were all lightermen. He read several clauses in the Dock Act giving authority to the Dock master to regulate the admission and departure, as well as the mooring and unmooring, removal and stations, of all vessels and craft. Mr. Robert Garrett, the Docic•master, stated that ' on the evening of the 13th, about eight o'clock, and an hour before high water, the whole width of the lock at the entrance next the river was blockaded by the defendants' barges, and nothing could pass either in or out of the lock, and there were several barges at the time in the lock ready to come out, and the dock basin at the north end of the lock was quite full of vessels and craft. He ordered the defendants to shove astern, and make room for the craft to come out, which they refused to do, and held on by the pier-head with their long staves, or boat-hooks, each endeavouring to get before the others. He unhooked their hitchers, but as fast as he did so they were hooked on again, and the defendants attempted to bring their craft in, although it was impossible for them to pass through. He then sent down a man named Adams to shove the barges astern, but finding lie was not attended to, he went down into the lock 'himself, and got upon the defendant's barges and removed their boat-hooks, but they immediately hooked on again to the corner of the pier-head, and as often as he removed them the boat-hooks were made fast again. One of the prisoners said, "We will heave the - overboard, he has no business in our craft," and they hustled and shouldered him in a most violent manner. Stokes eventually took up a broom stick, and with both hands made a blow at his head, which he parried, and caught the blow with his hands, and while he was struggling to get the broomstick from him, Stokes struck him a violent blow on the face with his fist. He afterwards obtained the assistance of the.lockman and the river police, and their barges were removed, the craft in the lock passed out into the river, and after some time the business was pro ceeded with. Mr. BALLANTINE fined the defendant Stokes 3/ and the other defendants 40s. each. At the intercession of Mr. Humphreys, who said the object of the Dock Company was answered by a cofwiction, the Magistrate reduced the penalty on Stokes to 205., and upon the others to 10s. each, for which they expressed thanks. Joseph Hales, a waterman and lighterman, was fined 205., for illegally navigating three barges to gether, and taking others in tow on the river. SURREY SESSIONS. ASHWORTH AND OTHERS v. THE EARL OF UXBRIDGE. Yesterday Mr. Abbott, the Under-Sheriff for the County of Surrey, sat at the Sessions-house, Newing ttin-causeway, for the purpose of trying seven actions against the Earl of Uxbridge, for the recovery of sums payable under annuity deeds for annuities to the several plaintiffs. The following is a list of the names of the plaintiffs and of the amounts claimed :—The Rev. Peter Ash worth (as executor of Thomas Ashworth) v. the Earl of Uxbridge, 961.12s.—Same v. Same, 661.—Love kin v. Same, 1331.—Foster v. Same, 60/.—Cooper v. Same, 2391.—Cousins v. Same, 132/.—Swindall v. Same, 661. Each of the above sums was the amount of one year's annuity. It was agreed that the verdict in the first case should decide the others, the question in volved being the same. Mr. James, barrister, appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Chambers for the defendant. The Jury having been sworn the first case was taken. Mr. JAMES said, that it was with reluctance the plaintiff had been compelled to proceed against the .Noble Earl, but he bad hitherto been unable to obtain from him payment of the amount due on the annuity. In sume_cf the other cases the plaintiffs were persons in a humble station of life, who had advanced these sums to the Earl of Uxbridge, but were now unable to obtain payment. The annuity in the case now be fore the Court amounted to the sum of 96/. 125., the consideration for which was the payMent of a sum of 6901. As, however, the moaey had not been paid, the several plaintiff's had been compelled to take their present course, though they did not know whether the verdict of the Jury , would produce any fruits to been called t o th e U pper H ouse as Peer—having or not, as the defendant, b y hi s pos i t i on as a Baron Paget—was protected from the consequences of such verdict, as far as his personal liberty was con cerned. The Earl was heir to the Marquisate of An of his father— a somew h at unusual course, glesea, but had been called to the Upper House during the o f might leave a d ou b t upon t h e m i n d s me of the Jury whether the defendant had been so c l e i , eti which raised to the peerage, in order that, as a legislator, he might benefit his country, or that he might himself enjoy the privilege of freedom from arrest. The plaintiffs feared that he had very little property, for, perhaps, when a Noble man chose to exhibit himself to the gaze of the public, not in his own equipages, but in everything hired, it was reasonable to infer that those who had claims upon him would have very little chance of ob taining the amounts due to them. But they had, notwithstanding, brought their actions, and the plain tiff in the present case had subpoenaed the Marquis of Anglesey, whom he (Mr. James) proposed to exa mine as to the means of his son, the defendant. With regard to the claim of the plaintiff, lie should have no difficulty in establishing it, nor would the Jury at all hesitate as to the amount of damages they would award. The deed of annuity, dated the Bth of August, 1838, by which an annual sum of 961. 12s. was granted to Thomas Ashworth, in consideration of the pay ment of the sum of 6901., was then put in. Mr. Thomas French, clerk to Mr. Columbine, the plaintiff's attorney, stated that up to the date of the commencement of the action there were four quarters' annuity due. The interest upon the unpaid annuity, calculated from the expiration of each quarter to the date of the commencement of the action, amounted to 3/. 11s. 9d. The plaintiff could have entered up judgment for the amount of the annuity unpaid, but not for the interest accruing upon that sum. Mr. JAMES then called the Marquis of Anglesey, who came into Court, and was sworn. He was ac commodated with a seat on the bench. Mr. JAMES—I believe, my Lord, you are the father of the Earl of Uxbridge. Th.3Marquis—l believe so. Has he any house or establishment now ?—He has quitted a house he had in Bruton-street, and I am told lie has taken a house in Hertfordshire. What his establishment is I have not the slightest knowledge. Now, can you tell me , m y Lord—excuse me for putting the question— w h a t property he has ? Mr. CHAMBERS interposed, and objected to the question. The examination was not proceeded with. The Marquis of Anglesey then left the Court. Mr. CHAMBE RS , for the defence, said the question in this case was merely one of amount — whether the plaintiff in this action, and therefore in the other six, should recover the actual amount of annuity overdue, or whether he should charge interest upon that amount as compensation for the delay in the payment. A Jurya . wereoa e em powered in such cases to say what the c of damages f should be. Now, there were two w ulatin g the interest, if interest were to be awarded at all amount; one was to calculate it upon the whole year's annuity, from May, 1842, when it became due, and the other was to calculate it from the expiration of every quarter. The plaintiff had chosen the latter mode. It would for the Jury to say which mode they considered most fair between the parties. With regard to the question of damages, it did appear to him that this was not a case in which interest ought to be charged upon the unpaid annuity. It was a clear bargain between the parties, the rate of interest being very high. For the sum of 6901., the Earl of Ux• bridge, then h e i n _ g 40 years of age, agreed to pay during his life the sum of 961. Here was an interest of 13 per cent., from which, however, the insurance money had to be deducted ; that would still leave 9 per cent. as the interest of the transaction. Now, he did think the Jury would see that where so high an interest was charged, the case. was not one of that sort in which additional in teresfought to be demanded on arrears of annuity. The UNDEa-5 ii ,,,,,, h av ing left the question of amount to the J ury - , they immediately returned a verdict for 1001. 3s. 9d. ; 961. 12s. being the amount claimed, and 31. 1 is. 9d. interest upon it. Mr. JAMES here observed, that the annuitants had a clear right to interest. They only had the security of the Earl, which experience showed to be worth nothing. He did not think that there ' was any one now in the box who would lend the Earl money on the same terms.--(A laugh.) - -.- Verdicts were then taken in the other six cases for the amount demanded, and interest upon it, calcu lated in the same w ay.
