By order of the Board of Directors, ch, 1834 JAS . . WM. GILBART, Manager, " I have been here to , how Mr. Hall a horse, and have been licked by John Gully." Mr. BLACKBURNE, for the defendant, said, he thought that if Mr. Gully had given as severe a blow as be was capable of giving, this action would have been abated by the death of the plaintiff.— (Laughter.) The declaration in this case dealt throughout in exaggeration. Sundry blows are mentioned, and it is stated that the plaintiff had been put to an expense of 10/. for the curing his arm of all manner of bruises and injuries inflicted by the defendant. They had heard that the plaintiff and the defendant were partners formerly, and that eicy continued so till a race at Epsom, about two y 3ars ago, when they separated. The learned gentle min then referred to the mode of making money upon horses, and contended that the defendant con ceived that an insinuation of improper conduct had been thrown out against him by the plaintiff, which to the assault complained of. On the whole, he submitted to the jury, that the case was one in which moderate damages only should be given. The jury retired for about fifteen minutes, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages .500/. (No. 12,964.) LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MA tall 29. 1834. (PRICE NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Edward ✓ones, a vocal melodist, was brought be fore the LORD MAYOR, charged with having beaten Mr. Sergeant SELLON—YOU are certainly a good-natured forgiving woman ; and I hope, if the prisoner is discharged, she will treat your kindness with gratitude, and make proper reparation. Pri soner, you are now discharged ; but mind and keep your word. Prisoner—Och, honour bright, your Worship ! She shall have the money, and good luck to her. his wife and turned her out of doors. - The complainant stated that her husband was a good tradesman, and able with his needle to support his family. He, however, had become the chair man of a chaunting club lately, and was now such a night crawler that his bed never felt his weight until three or four o'clock in the morning, when he returned from the crawk, reeking with backy and swipes. Upon such occasions, if she did not start out of bed to let him in the moment he knocked, he would sometimes give her . a memorandum between the eyes, and at others a salute with his foot upon a very different part of her person. A few nights ago, complainant, having had a hard day's work, slept so soundly that her tyrant was obliged to knock three or four times before he gained admit tance,' and upon entering he began to exercise his' fist and his foot upon her, as if they had been made for no other purpose than to blacken her all over. But the worst of all was, that when he was in such humours he questioned her chastity, and pointed to. the face of their child as a proof that some other person had worn his night-cap. She therefore wished for a separate maintenance. The LORD MAYOR—I suppose firm that it is his accomplishment that has done this injury ? Com plainant—No doubt of it, my Lord. He had a good job to do the other day ; but he began to swear, groan, and spoke so about love and such nonsense, that he knowed nout'that he was about, and stitched the collar of a coat to the waistband of a pair of breeches.—( Laughter.) The defendant declared that his wife was the most violent of women, and he produced a poker which he said she bent with a blow which was aimed at his head, but struck against the table. The- mo ment the poker was exhibited there was a roar of laughter in the Justic-room, for it was actually doubled up so effectually that the nob and the bot tom touched each other.

Buckell, surgeon, Newport, Isle of Wight 2 1 At Begney, near Bordeaux, on the 9th, the wife of a labouring man was delivered of three remark ably large children, two boys and a girl. On the fol lowing morning she had not completed the labour, and a fourth child was momentarily expected.—ParisPaper. On Monday a match was undertaken by a young gentleman of this town, about 19 years of age, to ride from this place to Doncaster, a distance of 114 miles, in nine hours, to be performed on six hacks, se verally stationed at Cambridge, Alconbury-hill, Stam ford, Grantham, Cromwell (about five miles beyond Newark), and Barnby-moor. He started at eight o'clock, and arrived at Huntingdon a little before nine, having so completely knocked up his first nag as to be obliged to lead him into the town. With some diffi culty he obtained another to carry him to Alconbury hill, where one was waiting for him. He got over the two first stages, from Cambridge to Stamford, 42 miles, in two hours and forty minutes, arriving at the latter place at twenty minutes to eleven. Although the rider has only just recovered from a severe illness, it was the opinion of the " knowing ones" that he would accomplish the undertaking with ease, but we have not been able to ascertain whether he did so or not.—Cart bridge Chronic's. Defendant—My Lord, this is always the way with her. She often takes it into her head to smash my furniture. The LORD MAYOR—Why, what can you expect, when you stay out such unseasonable hour!.?i,ts w, in the name of heaven : can rexpect that a woman fan ii'ateritly bear such neglect ? Com plainant—My Lord, if I ask him in the morning for a little money to buy the child a pair of shoes, he sings out, " No ; if I do, may I perish ;" and that's all the satisfaction I can get. Oh, my Lord, I wish he never had a bit of a voice at all. I wish from my heart he couldn't ever speak a word more. —(Great laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Now, don't you think it is a great deal better for you to shake hands, and go home and play with the child, than to have your disagreement hawked about the town in the news papers Come, lam sure, defendant, you don't suspect the propriety of your wife's conduct ? Defendant—Not at all, my Lord. I know it's all right in regard of the boy ; but she's so passionate. The LORD MAYOR—And I have no doubt you will not get drunk any more, nor answer any more demands for money with a taste of music. Complainant—My Lord, I never said he got drunk • I never saw him at all fuddled in my life ; all I blame him for is his fine voice. Why, he'll stop ten minutes together, with his needle in his hand, to run in and out of the notes like Madaml Sontag. They say he has a fine false voice ; I wish it was 'a false one ; but I know the contrary, or it wouldn't be always phizzing in my ears.—(Laughter.) Defendant—Well, my Lord, I'm willing to for give her if she begs my pardon. Complainant—No need ; I'll forgive you if you give me more company and less of your music. The LORD MAYOR—It is quite evident to me that you are fond of each other, and I'll tell you what to do. Shake hands at once, and don't say a word to each other about what has passed, but go home together, and, take my word for it, all will be right. Defendant—As for me, my Lord, I never meant anything else. There isn't a better wife upon earth than her four bones. Complainant—Ned, you know, if you wasn't a good un I could ha' goed to another party ; and I displeased all my friends by having you ; but I an't a going to leave you for a little bit of nonsense.— (Laughter.) The happy pair then quitted the Justice-room with the most affectionate feelings towards each other. PRICE OF SUGAR.

Thursday evening Mary Clancy was brought to this office in the custody of a policeman of E division, charged by Bridget O'Hara, an Irish widow, about thirty-three years of age, with having robbed her of several articles of wearing apparel, under the follow ing circumstances : Mrs. O'Hara, with a very low curtsey and a deli cious brogue, said, " Your Wurchip, I am a widde woman, and I live in Carrier-street, St. Giles's. My husband, God rest his soul, has left me did for twelve months past, and I have got a bit of a living ever since in Common-garden, and, by picking up a few honest pince, I managed to buy a few dacent articles ; and it isn't myself, poor honest cratur, that ought to be robbed of 'em, your Wurchip." Mr. Sergeant SELLON—What have you been robbed of? Mrs. O'Hara—Why, I tell your Wur chip, when my poor dear hushand died, I axed Mary Clancy, the prisoner, and a few friends, to come and wake him ; and after doing so, poor soul, we took him to St. Giles's, and buried him. Being left alone, and wanting a partner to sleep wid me, and bear me. com pany, I asked the prisoner to take part of my bed, and we were living together. On Thursday morning I went out, and when I came back I found that I was robbed of a chimays, a gown, an apron, caps, and pet ticoats, and, saving your Honour's presence— Mr. Sergeant SELLON—Have you traced any of the property ? Mrs. O'Hara—Not a bit, your Wurchip. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—And why do you suspect the prisoner ? Mrs. O'Hara—Because she was the only person in the room. • Mr. Sergeant SELLON—Did she try to make her escape ? Mrs. O'Hara—Och no, your honour, but sat as quiet as a lamb. Mr. Sergeant SELLorr—There is no evidence that she stole the property. She is discharged. The prisoner was leaving the bar, when Mrs. O'Hara exclaimed, " And is it this way I am to be plunther'd out of my property ? Sure didn't she promise to pay me for them ?" Mr. Sergeant SELLON—Pay you for them! What do you mean ? Mrs. O'Hara—Why I found her in the room, and my things gone, and on bringing a policeman she confessed to the robbery, and said she would pay me for them if I would forgive her.— (Laughter.) Mr. Sergeant SELLON-Oh, that is a different thing. The prisoner being again placed at the bar was asked what she had to say ? Prisoner—Sure that I took the things, and am ready to pay for them. Didn't she say she would forgive me ? Mrs. O'Hara—Faith an I did so.—(Laughter.) Mr. Sergeant SELLON—Are you ready to pay the money now ? Prisoner—How can I pay it sure when I hav'n't got it ? Would you have me go rob for it ?—(Laughter.) I'll pay her on Saturday. Mr. Sergeant SELLON (smiling)—Certainly not. But the question is, whether the pi osecutrix will take your word for the money ? Mrs. O'Hara— The Pr i :s°nF:';' l l; a corn-miller, and, at the time of offence charged, was residing at Pudsey, near Bradford. His wife and he had been married above three years, and they had lived on bad terms for a considerable time. On Wednesday night, the 30th of October last, the prisoner came home intoxicated, and before he entered the house he whistled for a large bull-dog which he kept, named Crib. It was then near midnight, and his wife who was sitting up for him, would not let the dog go out. The pri soner then went down the lane, and in a few minutes returned, threw the door open, and said to his wife, " Now thou art going." She then requested him to come in and sit down to his supper, instead of doing which he went up to her, and, without saying a word, struck her on the head and face with his fists and knocked her down. He knocked her down a second time, and she then said if he would let her alone she would go, and she got up, but he knocked her down again. She rose, and he again struck her and knocked her through the doorway, the door be ing open. She got up and ran down by the house side, the prisoner following her. He fell and she got a short distance from him, when he overtook her, seized her by the throat, and beat her on the face. She begged of him to spare her life, and she would forgive him all he had ever done to her, when he said, "- thee, if I cannot kill thee, I will worry thee !" and he said, " Hey, Cribb, worry her !" and set the dog upon her. The animal seized her by the leg and shook her till she fell, when the pri soner kicked her. She got up and he knocked her down again. She again got up and went to wards a neighbour's house, Richard Kingston. This man and his wife had been alarmed by her screams, and at the time she went towards their house they pulled her in. _ The jury returned a verdict finding the prisoner guilty on the first count, of intent to murder. Sentence not passed. (Before Mr. Justice TAUNTON.) RIDSDALE V. GULLY, M.P. ""' ' The action was brought to recover damages for an assault. Mr. PoLLocx said that the defendant in this ac tion was Member of Parliament for Pomfret, and a gentleman, no doubt, well-known to those he had the honour to address. The assault complained of was this :—The plaintiff and some other gentlemen were together, when the defendant came up (they were all on horseback), and, after some words had been exchanged, Mr. Gully passed from the off side to the near side, and gave the plaintiff as severe a blow with a stick as they might all suppose Mr. Gully was capable of inflicting. It seemed that Mr. Gully had asked the plaintiff if he had not said some thing about him (Mr. Gully) having won a certain sum at the Doncaster races. The plaintiff said he had. Mr. Gully said he had not won it ; and, after a few words more had passed, the assault took place as he had described. John Singleton--I live at Greatgivendale, on my own estate there. I know the plaintiff and defen dant. On the 13th of November last, I went to Longsborough-gate, to meet the hounds, and got there about eleven in the morning. I met the de fendant there. He was along with Mr. Watt, and I exchanged civilities with them, and left them. I met the plaintiff about ten minutes after, two of his servants were with him, one of them had brought a horse for a Mr. Hall to ride on. Mr. Hall is Mr. Watt's son-in-law, who was in company with Mr. Gully. Mr. Hall mounted Mr. Ridsdale's horse, and Mr. Gully mounted Mr. Hall's. I wanted to speak to Mr. Ridsdale, the plaintiff, and we rode away a short distance together, when presently Mr. Gully came up, on Mr. Ridsdale's right hand side. Mr. Gully said to him, " You have raised a report that I have won 12,000/. on the St. Leger." Mr. It. replied that he only gave the general report. Mr. Gully said, " but you mentioned it in particular." Mr. Ridsdale asked who had told him so. Mr. Gully said, " Tom Cliff ;" and added, " you know I didn't make above 1,2001., and you say that I made 12,0001. Mr. Ridsdale said he didn't see any great harm in that ; when Mr. Gully said, " From your experience in these matters you must know that I could win no such thing ; therefore you can't believe it." Mr. Ridsdale said he didn't contradict it ;he believed it might be true ; on which Mr. Gully said, " You lie---you are a scoundrel !" and he pulled his horse back, and came between Mr. Ridsdale and me, and struck the latter across the shoulders with a stick. Counsel—What sort of a blow was it ? Why, I didn't feel it, F.r.—(Loud laughter.) No, you didn't ; but what kind of a blow was it ?—Why, it wasn't a light one, nor a heavy one. It was one of Mr. Gully's blows—(Laughter)-- but you can say what kind of a blow it was ?—Why, it couldn't break bones, but Mr. Ridsdale shrugged up his shoulders at it.—(Laughter.) Mr. Ridsdale said, " You see what the great Mr. Gully has done. He knows I'm no match for him." He then appealed to me, and asked me if I had seen it. I said I had ; when Mr. Gully rode off. Cross-examined by Mr. BLACKBURNE—I know that the plaintiff and defendant were partners in racing affairs. The partnership broke up about two years ago, after the Derby races. John Harrison—l have lived on my own estate for these twenty years. I was out with the fox hounds on the day named. I was not present with the .gentlemen entlemen at first, but afterwards joined them. The plaintiff gave no sort of provocation. I never saw any man behave better. Mr. Ridsdale said, OXFORD CIRCUIT.—HEREFORD, MARcii 26. MURDER.—THE KING V. RICHARD ADDIS. The prisoner was indicted for the wilful murder of James Davis, the gamekeeper of Mr. Clive. The grand jury ignored the bill against three other persons. John Evans, an accomplice—l know the prisoner s his brother, Edwin Smith, Allen Smith, and Charles Nash. On Saturday night, at 10 o'clock, I was at Allen Smith's house ; Edwin Smith, Allen Smith, and Charles Nash, were there first. Prisoner and his brother came in soon after ; we all went to Bullock's-wood. I got a pistol at Smith's, the others had guns. I went to the Bullring public house that night ; we went to the wood. I had loaded the pistol with powder and ball. I went down the middle of the drive, and was met by de ceased. He said, "Is it you, John ?" He asked me whom I had got with me, and what I was doing. I walked about as if I was tipsy, but I was not. I went away to Kingston, to Edwin Smith's house ; he is a butcher. Richard Addis I saw leaning on his own door. He said, " I have shot Boulter," another name for the deceased. Edwin Smith heard him ; he was in prison yesterday, and said in pri soner's presence that prisoner shot him. Prisoner said he shot him coming over a glat. I told him I had seen the keepers, and that Boulter spoke to me. Prisoner asked me where, and I said at a place near Bullock's-wood. Prisoner told me not to split, and said they could not hurt me, as I was not off the path. I saw Allen Smith in a meadow ; he had nothing on his head. He had a hat on when he went. I was taken up with the pistol. Cross-examined—l was not on any harm. I did not go out to shoot pheasants. I knew Davis be fore. I had lived with him. I shammed drunken ness of my own thought. I had been sitting in a ditch nearly all the time. I gave the information on Tuesday, the 21st. I had not been told that Mt reward was offered. I can't recollect whether any person spoke of the reward yesterday. I knew of it nine days after I was in prison. I heard it from Bradley first. Charles Nash, another accomplice, stated the cir cumstances as already deposed. He ran off, and met the other party. The prisoner's brother said that he had shot a man, and the prisoner said he had too. This witness was cross-examined by Mr. GOD-. sox, and contradicted himself so as to be quite in credible. The prisoner was acquitted. The Court of Assizes at Rheims was a few days ago occupied with the trial of a woman and her father, charged with the murder of the husband of the former. The trial excited very great interest. The following are the particulars of the case, as given by the Gazette des Tribunaux. The female prisoner, Florentine Simonnet, had for some time resided with her husband at the village of Ablancourt. The hus band, it appears, was a man of brutal character, and in his fits of drunkenness was in the habit of severely beating his wife. In consequence of this ill-treat ment, the prisoner, even within a year after her mar riage, had expressed to her father her desire to get rid of him by poison or other means. Jacques Simonnet, the father, resided with them, and had assisted his daughter, upon several occasions, in her attempts to procure a separation from his son-in-law. On the Ist of January last, after partaking of a repast prepared by the female prisoner, the unfortunate husband was seized with violent spasms, and died two days after wards. The symptoms in some respects resembled those of cholera, but the inhabitants of Ablancourt, from their knowledge of the differences which had arisen between the prisoner and his wife, had suspi cions that the death was caused by poison, and reports of the circumstances having reached the authorities, the prisoner was apprehended. At the post mortem examination of the body, the surgeons detected the presence of arsenic, and gave their opinion that the deceased had been poisoned with that mineral. Both father and daughter at first denied any participation in the crime, but the female prisoner subsequently asked for permission to make a fresh declaration, and then, with the most perfect calmness, admitted that for a long time past she had conceived a very strong de sire to poison her husband ; that six months previously she had bought 15 sous' worth of arsenic, and that on the Ist of January, profiting by the intoxication under which her husband laboured, she had at four different times put arsenic into his food. Before the prisoner made this confession, however, she had made a very different statement to three women confined in the same prison with her. She at first said that her father was equally as guilty as herself, and that it was by his persuasion that she had poisoned her husband. She also stated that she had before put arsenic into an ome bleitttteershtheathhado wouldmade for not h on in t b . ut T t h h e a py t riwbsps h eoot e montkeeer f ern o : un totohonec d wobtnr i het t filoetn s mhs o gi she told this story remarked t to o honua h T,tl e dhat r hen , b ; : hat as one of the herself t s o h b e e hr t a h eds e pt o eo n eldt ly inth g ge u m i w lt h y faat p ls e e r shh s o o eo n d , hs a ,a n da d nds s ai h s e dto t ut h to e ly n thp s ee a s i r d e_ butwthatprisoners distress. interro gated t e h hn a c f evincedamt She hige hrthentwb be was great r saved,eai n d admitted o i ec t me t e inot d t; seemed in much sisted in the innocence of her father. At the trial she persisted in her confession, and the prisoner Simon net, in defence, denied any knowledge of the crime. The jury acquitted the father, and found the wife guilty of poisoning her husband, but with extenuating circumstances, and therefore the capital penalty was not pronounced, but she was sentenced to hard labour for life. It was subsequently stated in court, that the male prisoner Simonnet, although he had always per sisted in his innocence, had laid a wager of five francs with a fellow prisoner that he should be wild .mued and executed.
