WESTMINST3II. SESSIONS, Oc.r. r..ssrmrftisorimEN T. John Wright and Ge&ge .lackron., two officers in the em ployment of the Mendicy Society, were indicted far assault , ing and falsely imprisorag James Grant. ;;here was a second count in the indictment, .itsrging the tiefent.f.ants with the as sault only; and in a seciiid indictment they were charged with assaulting Helen, to wife of the above-named James Grant. Mr. ADOLPNUS, who las Counsel for the defendant Jack son, moved the Court to repite his client's recognixances, upon an affidavit stating that Is was unable fb attend to tame his trial to-day, in consequene of indispaiition. Mr. ANDREWS', on beltlf of the other defendant, suggested to the Court, that it wouti be convenient to let the case stand over to the adjournment day, in order that both defendants might. be tried at the sari% time. The Citatamax thought that this would certainl . i; be the more conveniencrse to )ursue, as it wbuld save the neces sity of two trials instead of me. lilt. C. Pit howerer, on behalf of the prosecuticn, said he was instructed_ to pia the Coum to proceed with the trial of Wkight at preserrt, as,there were a number of wit- . nesses in attendance at a coisiderable-expence to his client.. . After some discussiononthis point, the Lehrneti C HAI R max decided that he was bound* proceed with the trial, if the pro secutor insisted on it. The witnesses on both idles were then ordered to withdraw. Mr. C. Pati.t.uPs states the facts of the case to the Jury. It was a case, he said, of considerable interest to the partiei, and involsing a principle of some importance to the public in" general. The prosecutor was a poor man, who came there to ask protection against the oppression of the powerful. He filled the hUmble situation of a private in the Last Middlesex Mili tia. The defendants, against whom he now complained, were officers of the Mendicity Society; and he trusted„for the credit of that Society, that the misconduct of their servants was not known or countenanced by them. On the 19th of May last, at about six o'clock in the evening, the Prosecutor and his wife were passing along Piccadilly, when their attention was attract ed to a handsome equipage before the shop of Mr. Hales, the bookseller, near the Egyptian Hall, which upon inquiry, they learned belonged to the .Marchioness of Londonderry. It was the 'carriage of the present Lady Londonderry, but the prose. cutor supposing it to be that of the Dowager Marchioness, the widow of tile late eminent statesman, whom he had seen in Ireland, was anxio us t o o bt a i n a s i g h t o f her la4ship, and for that purpose he, in common with several other persons, ap proached the side of the carriage, into which the lady imme diately afterwards stepped, and it drove away. When her ladyship was passing from the shop to her carriage a tall man attempted to solicit alths of her, bat was pushed aside by the footman. This; however, was the only person who had attempted to beg ; and yet the defendant Wright thought proper to seize the prosecutor's wife, who had a child in her arm s , an d a ll eg i ng t h at she hadi begged; he dragged her along the street. The huSband demanded to know why his wife was treated in this manner? Upon which Wright replied, " We'll take you too;" and although there was not even an allegation made against him, he seized hint b • the collar, dragged himalong, struck him about the head with a stick, threw a child, which he was carrying, out of his arms, and tore his coat off hi s ba c k. Th e mo b cried " Shame," and a gentleman Who was on horseback, came up to expostulate With the defendant, from whom the answer he received was, "You vagabond, who are you ?" This was at 6 o'clock in the evening, and although the ill agistrates,.it was well known, sat in the police office long after that hour, the defendants carried the prosecutor to St. James's watch-house, and actually had him locked into the black-bole, where he remained until next morning. When taken before the magistrates next day, the charge of vagrancy wasscout ed at once, as indeed there were .plenty of respectable witnesses to prove that there wfts not the slightest foundation for it. But Wright Coen swore tots it...seises againit the prosecutor; . for Which Mr. Conant, not goin g i n to th e e vid ence f or the ePffenee of course, that being more properly the province of a Jury, held him to bail, in default of which he was committed tp prison, where he remained for five of six weeks, until Mr. Hales, with a feeling of benevolence that did him honour; interfered on his behalf, and bailed bins ; and he it was to whom he was now in debted for the means of seekin g j us ti ce aga i nst his oppressors.— While he Was in prison the defendants went to him and told him; that if he would write to the Magistrates or to the M en dicity Society, acknowledging his fault, he would be forgiven. Conscious of his innocence, tOwever, he declined to do so.— They then pref er r e d thi s bill against him for the alleged assault; but ever, upon their own evidence it Wits scouted by the Grand Jury. Under these circumstances, he noW came before the Jury, and at their hands, and at the hands of the Court, he sought for justke. James Grant, the prosectitor, Sias then examined', and corro borated the principal part of the statement of his counsel. He denied most positively that either he or his wife had attempted to beg. Wright seized him by one arm and Jackson by the' other, and upon his resisting being . dragged along, Wright struck him on the head and arm with a stick several times, which obliged him to let his child drop from his arm. He, how ever, did not resent this treatment, until one of the blows fell upon his child, when losing all patience he struck Wright on the mouth and made it bleed. When they reached the watch house, Wright pushed him down the stairs into the dungeon below, where he was locked hi for the night. In speaking of the interview afterwards with Wright in the prison, he said that Wright asked him to write to the Society, confessing his fault, which he affected to do, but never did. , . • . .On his crossexaminatitM by Mr. ANDnEws, he said he was by trade a tailor, and had enlisted in the East Middlesex - Militia about two years ago, bnt had never joined. He had been once taken i.lp because an Irish gentleman had given his wife a shilling, anti upon.another occasion he was taken before a fat gentleman at Helton-garden for singing ballads, whet] he was discharged. These were -the only occasions upon which he had ever been taken before a Magistrate; and he had never been before the Mendicity Society except once, when•having been robbed in St. Giles's, he went to as k for. the price of a pitchfork with Which to gb a hay-making, and they gave him a basin of soup and sixpence. He as a native of Drogheda, but he did not know whether he had been born in Martinique or not, as his father, who had been a drum-major in an in fantry regiment, died on the island. He had been brought up in Drogheda, and he did not know whether that made him a native c: not. He had been married there by a Roman Ca tholic priest. • Helen Grant, the prosecutrix, gave similar testimony. On her cross.examination, she said that on the day in question she and her husband were going to sing ballad s in Albemarle;. street. Several other witnesses, who had seen more nr less of thi" transacti ,, n, mainly corrobreed tire prosecutor's statement. None of them had seen either him. or his wife attempt to beg. Mr. ANDrerwi, for the defendant, declined calling any , witnesses, but observed at considerable length upon the evi. dence on t;.e other t=dc, contending that the defendant Was perfectly justified in eking the prosecutor and his wife into custody, as he had already known them to be mendicants, and upon this occasion saw t h e wife have reccursta to those mod es of askin g a l ms Whi ch were perfectly intelligible, without resort ingto the use of wortlg.

This was an indictment against Mr. Garnett, a partner in the firm of Scott, Garnett, and Palmer, cornfactors, in Alderman bury, for h a vi ng re f use d to s erve th e o ff d e o f con S ta id e for the Ward of Cripplegate, to which he bad been duly elected. The defendant pleaded " not guilty."

The Lord Chief, Juitice ABBOTT said, that liemust con- Sider a householder as an inhabitant, aota the dafendint offe , ad some evidence.to prove that he was riot so. Mr. GURNEY ,addressed the Jury for the 'defendant, .and Called Mr. Paloiet to prove.that the &reliant waanot an.tnha bitant of the ward. Mr. Palmer, who is a partner in the same firm with the defendant, said that the dwelling house attached to their. counting-house was occupied by him ; that the servants in that house were his servants, and were paid out of his pri vate property ; that neither .of the clerks who were paid by the firm, slept in the house; that as occupier of that house he had served the offices f churahwarden and. over seer of the poor of the parish, and had also fined for con stabh ; that the defendant resided at Hampton, and had not dept one night in the house in Aldcrmanbury in the List 20 years, during which he had occupied the house. On his cros-examination, he admited that the rent, taxes, and pariah rates of his dwelling-house were paid out of fhe partnership funds. Mr. COMMON' SEIIGICANT did not think that there was any question for the consideration of a jury, as the real ques tion in the case was one of law, on which both his Learned Friend and himself were anxious to have the opinion of the Court. The Loan Cniti JUSTICE told the Jury, that as it Was the intention of the parties to take the opinion of the Court of King's Bench, he should not now give any opinidn on the point. In order to enable the parties to take the opinion of the Colin, the Jury must find the defendant guilty. A verdict was taken accordingly. ZIOwSE v. KIDNEY. Mr. MaNitraitd opened the pleadings. This was an fiction of trover brought by the plaintiff Charles Howse against Miss Kidney, to recover the value of a Danish dog, his property, which she had taken and converted to her own use. The de. fendent pleaded " not guilty," and thereon issue was . joined. Mr. COMMON SERGEANT stated the plaintiff's case. It appeared from the e'idence called in suppert of it, that the plaintiff, who is a gentleman's coachman, gave a guinea in April, 1824, to a coachman of the name of Singfield, residing in Wimpole-mews, for two young Danish puppies, which were bern on the 13th of February, in the same year. The plaintiff kept these two puppies in the mews, where he himselflived, till the 25th of the following July, when the dog, which gave rise to the present action, was unfortunately stolen from him. At that time the dog, as was sworn by several coachmen who were in the daily habit of seeing him, had se veral spots on his akin, by which he could be recog nized. His tail was crushed by the wheel of a car-. riage ; his ears, which had been cropped, were of unequal size; his dew claws had been recently cut; and, to crown all, he was ill of the distemper. In the December following,, two coachmen who saw this dog following a carriage, .bet Ween Harley-street and Wiinpole-street, went to the plaintiff and informed him of what they had seen. The plaint as soon as he heard tidings of his dog, went is pursuit Of it, and, on coming up with it in Weymouth-street, seized it by the col lar and claimed it as his property. The carriage, which the dog was following, belonged to Miss Kidney, the present defend ant. She desired that the dog might not be taken from her at that time ; and the plaintiff permitted it to go home with her, on hcr giving him her card of address. On the r‘ext morning, at nine o'cldck, the plaintiff called at the defendant's house, IA Maids hill, with Singfield, the co a chm a n, of whom l ie h a d bought the dog. The defendant would neither see him at that hour herself nor would permit him to see the dog. She desired him, how. ever, to return at one o'clock, when she would speak to him on the subject. The plaintiff returned at that hour, when he was taken into custody by a constable, and carried to Merylehone police office for some alleged offence, which turned out, how ever, to be untenable. As the Magistrates refused to decide the question of property in the dog, the present action was brought to obtain that decision ; and in order to establish the identity of the dog lost in July with that of the dog found in December, two coachmen were put into the box, of whom one, called Hill, had been discharged from the defendant's service 'kir drunkenness, and the other, Bigg, had been taken up by her since he had left it, on suspicion of having robbed her of some old harness, which was afterwards found upon her premises. Hill stated, that Miss Kidney, at the end ofJuly or in the beginning of August, 1824, had given a guinea for this dog, which was then a puppy, about 5 months old, and which answered in every particular to the one which the plaintiff had just then lost. He admitted that he had sent the person to the house who had sold the dog, but swore that he had never represented that person as a friend of his own, whom be had known for upwards of nine years. Bigg swore, that while the plaintiff was at the de feudant's house at nine o'clock in the morning, he gave, with out seeing the dog, an accurate description of it in every re spect, except as to the spots on its shoulders, and that this con vinced him that he must be the owner of the dog, as he had not had time when he seized hint in the street to overhawl it. On his cross-examination, he swore positively, after some pre varication, which made the Lord Chief Justice remind hitn of Newgate, that he had never told Mr. Harmer that from the correct description the plaintiff had gi'sen of the dog, it could not belong to him ; for that the dog's tail had never been hurt, and that the spots upon him had conic out SO recently, that no body could recognize him who had not seen him for some months ; other witnesses, who were not impeached, swore, howeVer, without hesitation, to the identity of the dog. It was stated by Bigg that a Frenchman offered ten guineas for the dog whilst he was with Miss Kidney; and bI another witness, that if he had it, he should be very sorry to part with it for less than eight guineas. Mr. SCAIILETT, for the defendant, represented this sis nielicieus action, which had been got. up against her by the two coachmen (Hill and Bigg,) whom she had been ob., liged to discharge for their miscondbet and intolence. Me put Miss Cressy into the hax, who swore that the. was at thfr house of the defendant, in July or August, .1824, tirlien this dDg, then quite p u ppy, was braUght to her to be purchased - by Hill, who said that it belonged te . an old friend of his, called Jones, who lived as groom with Lord Aehburnham; that the dog was then free from distemper, and had neither spots on his skirt nor injury on his tail; and that, in consequence of his spots coming out in the interim. nohod; , who had seen him in J u ly, could have recognized him for the same dog in De cember. The effeet of Miss Cressy's evidence was much weakened by that of Mr. Spagnoletti, who examined the clog before Miss Kidney b oug h t it., tie stated, that it'had s p o t s upon it—that it Wa s in distemper, p and that it appeared to be about four months oil. Two veterinary surgeons were also called to prove that there was no enlargement of the bone in anv•part of this dog's tail, which there must have been, if it had been the dog of the plaintiff which had had its tail crushed by a carriage go:ng over it. Theconstable who had taken the plaintiff into custody sald, that when the plaintifFealled at the defendant's house he gave a description of the.dog, which he could not recollect, but which convinced him that the dog lost was quite the reverse of the dog found ; and Mr. Ilarnier :wore that agg had used to him all those exp*ssions which he had disclaimed in his cross-examination. Under these CITCI3I3I e:ances, Mr. Searlett contended, that the dog now in the pos- Session of the defendant was not the dog whi c h the plaintiff had lost; and consequently that the plaintiff could not be en titled to their verdict. COMIIOX SERGrAitT replied upon the evidence, and said, that putting the testimony of Hill arid Bigg out of con sideration, there was evidence sufficient to prove th a t t h e d og bought by the defendant in July last was the very d og w hi c h the plaintiff had l o st about that time. 7 he Jury were that Chief Justice ii as unnecessaryoftl w lesatoeopinion; for they t o ld t h e L or d for him to sutra up, as they had deterroitski to end a lretdirtt for , the triages 101.10-s.- PRICE SEVENPENCE. CRONIVVELL'S EMBASSLES. When Cittiklit ELL had determined to send Lard Commissioner WaticLoci as Ambassador to Queen Queen CIiaISTTNA of SWEDEN, the Commissioner: used every means to avoid the office, sad, ac cording to the fashion of the tin4es various ati peals were Made to prayers to guide the restart; live parties in their determination, when, as was to be eipected, the auguries of CromweiPS de- `notion prevailed ; for, according to the Apostle Peter, it was a maxim to" submit 'ourselves to every. ordinance of man," and Rom. xiii: I," Let every soul be s,uhject to the higbo.r powers, fot7 there is no power but of ,God : die pOweris that be, are ordained of 'God." •. It was the Custom in these days, f o r 'the State to furnish the personal necessaries of foreign Am bassadors, as appears from an Order in Conned, dated at Whitehall;the 4th of September,l663. " That such plate, table bonen, hangings, houshold-stUffe, and bedding, as are in the Slate's warderobe, and which are fits for the Lord Cora missioner's use in his embassy to Sweden, be fur- nished unto his Lordship," Sze. And it waa also the custom for private friends to contribute in making up the outfit, as appears from the follow ing entry in Whitelocke's Diary : " Mr. pushell, an ingenious gentleman, who had bin a servant to the Lord Caancellor Bacon, sent a civil! letter, with a noble present ; a ca rious rich cabinet of green velvet, with silver lac 6 in it were two dozen of quart glasses of the most rare and best distilled spirits of bolt waters, after the direction of his lord ; and every glass had its screwes and cover of Welch silver, chief ly found out by himselfe ; it Wes suitable to the time and journey." Whitelocke gives a glowing account of the splendour of his suite in state coaches, &c. in tra velling through Sweden, to which the road fare. presents a sad and mortifying contrast. Legs and arms of the servants are broken by -falls on the rough and snow-covered roads. 6 4 This day we travelled three Swedish miles, the countrey being somewhat plainer than before, yett full of great stones and firr trees,-bittt little . corne lande, being entered Into the great forest. We came before night to a dorpe called 'Bine- bergh, where the longing and dyett were ex treant hadd, and most of the provision Cow leave beefe, cult out in pieces, and dryed, roasted,• and boyled ; and as it was beer agayne whis pered, the col* was rotten, and dYed in' field." . . Upon his arrival at Stockholm, - after encoun tering great hardships on his journey, he found dispatches with the comfortable assurance ' 4 that he must have great forte ne if he iiscape Doe:. rislau's and Ayscham's fate ; for there are three. in Sweden already (two of then) have bin used_ to such sport) that will attempt bin), and have designed to kill him ; and if they misse ; theta are those that will goe over in the ships with . !lim o that may doe him that friendly office." Whitelocke appears to • have held the : social custom of drinking healths in great abhorrence, and not even the courtesy due to the liabits of a foreign nation, to which he was sent? to court ami cable relations, could induce him to allow ern( . his suite to profane the festive board, by submit, , ting to such a pr'etice, as the following account will show of a dinner given to the Embassy, by some of the Swedish Officers of State,.by order of the Queen : • • " Whitelocke had bin informed of the custom, of the-north erne eountryes, of being too much addicted terexeessive drink ing, and using by many and great draughts of strong drinks and wine, to drinke (as they miscall it) healths, the then which nothing tends more to sickness and drunkenness, and sinning against God ; to prevent which Whitelocke bad strictly warned his own family against drunkenness, and that none of them should Jut any time begin or pledge any health, butt to execute themselves by his example and command, irbo was resolved not to adrnitt that wickedness in his henzhOld " This night about the midst of supper, the master of the ceremonies rose from his seate, and came to Whiteloeke with • 'a great glass of wine in his hand, and began to him a - health to the commonwealth of tngland. Whttelocke with civility desired to be excused from pledging of it, alledging it to be against his own judgment, and the manner and fashion Of " those whom he served, to drinke or pledge healths, and tiler,. fore desired his liberty. The master of the ceremonies (as its his own verge) imperiously urged Whitelocke to pledge the health, and told him that he could not refuse it, being to his masters the commonwealth; Whitelocke answered, that, ad commonwealth would not be offended att his refusall to pledge their health ; and that his masters, if they werevresent, would.alao refuse it ; that he had gained his liberty With much hazard att horns, and should be unwilling to part with it abroade. " The more earnestly it *as pressed uppon him, the more eftmestly be denyed it, keeping to the rule, principii4 and Nies resolved (as he did) to elayme and make good this liberty in the beginning and first assaults uppon it. " After this, the master of the ceremonies began the h ea lth: ' 'of General Crcimielt, which was refused h Whitelocke as the former was ; at which (in great disdaine) the masterof the sere, monies asked if they. thought it anlawfull, and said, he could not sufficiently wonder to see one refuse to pledge the health of his own General]. " Whitelocke answered, that as he condemned no man for drinking a health, so they ought not to condemn him for Iv fitsing it, and that the master's admiration was altogither un necessary ; that General Cromwell had other manner of work!: for his soldiers than to drinke heidths : that his performance of his Generall's ,commaunds in more important mattets would please hint better than pledging of his health : there were many returnesof the like nature in words and gestures, full of heate and discontent. - . " Whitelocker son, and Doctor Whistler, likewise refusing pledge the health, the master of the ceremonies; in great scorne, asked, why not drinke a health ? and vianattswered, why not eate a health? The Toaster sayd, they might - observe their country fashions 'then they were 'att home, butt now should observe the customs, of the coLiptrey where they were. f " Whitelocke replyed, that he understood no such lawe ef ceremonies or of nations, for such as himselfe and hie company; his quality giving him the privilege to keep the customs of hi own countrey, wheresoever he was ;.and this freedotne'*e ex peeted beer, and was resolved to preserve. -After divers t) ateakes' of this nat9re, the dispute concluded in a sileint• dale,ontent during the rest of supper-time," ' 4. • Poor Whitelocke, upou 'his return, , complains bitterly of being ill requited for his paiAs and risk by his pious frietid Cromwell'.
