GEO. D. DOUDNEY, Tailor and Breechesmaker, 97, Fleet-street, corner of Bride-lane, respectfully informs the Nobility and Gentry that he has invented a simple mode of fastening the bottoms of trousers which possesses every desirable quality, such as elasticity, neatness, and durability, without any of the unpleasantry attendant on buttoning straps to the trousers or under the feet. He has also introduced a new method of measuring for trousers and breeches, which renders the attainment of a good fit far more certain than by that usually adopted. The quality and workmanship of every article which G. D. D. fernishes, when compared with his charges, will, he thinks, establish him in the favour of those gentlemen who may honour him with their patron age, and convince them that it is not impossible to obtain a first rate coat, waistcoat, trousers, or breeches at a ready-money esta blishment.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YORK, JULY 19. This morning the Lord Chief Baron proceeded to the Guildhall of the city, for the purpose of finishing the cri minal business there. " MORRISON'S PILLS.".-CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. George Webb, a respectable-looking man, was placed at the bar ' charged with the manslaughter o f a young man named Richard Robinson, by administering to him large quantities of gamboge, aloes, colocynth, and other drug s , the statement of which was varied by numerous counts in the indictment. Mr. Starkie, with Mr. Dundas, conducted the prosecu tion ; and Mr. Pollock, Mr. Serjeant Acherly, and Mr. Alexander, the defence. Mr. STARKIE, in stating the case to the jury, observed upon the law, by which if death was occasioned, however unintentionally, by gross ignorance and culpable negligence, it would amount to manslaughter ; and quoted th e op i n i ons of Mr. Baron Bayl e y an d M r . Baron Alderson, in cases of a like kind. He then referred to the absurdity, when there- were so many medical establishments. and regularly educated practitioners all over the country, that persons unskilled in medicine and diseases should undertake their management. The unfortunate deceased was a young man of about twenty years of age, apprenticed to a Mr. Sowry, linen draper, of the pavemeet, in York. He was taken ill, a n d the prisoner, wh o was an i nn k eeper i n York and an agent for the sale of the much-talked-of " Morrison's Pills," was sent for to attend him, and gave him in the first instance twenty pills. On Friday, the 20th of June, it, was disco vered that the small-pox had attacked the deceased. The prisoner solely continued to attend him. In the course of the illness he gave the deceased no less than three doses of ten, fifteen, and twenty pills respectively. These pro duced very copious evacuations, but "'the pills" were still administered, and the prisoner said medical aid was unne cessary. On the Thursday following his mother was sent for, and sat up with him on Friday night. The prisoner visited him and said he was doing well. On the Friday morning he was evidently in a sinking state, the extremi ties were cold and clammy. Medical aid was then called in, but it was too late, for he died that afternoon. An in quest was held upon the body, which was opened. The co roner's jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against the prisoner. The pills had been analysed, and found to contain gamboge, aloes, colocynth, and cream of tartar, which, in the opinion of the witnesses he should call before the jury, produced, or at least accelerated, the death of the deceased. Samuel Robson, examined by Mr. DUNDAS—Is an ap prentice to Mr. Sowry. The deceased was in good health previous to the 20th of Tune. On the Tuesday he was at tended by the prisoner. - Witness went and fetched five packets'of the pills, either by the direction of Sowry or the prisoner, who called several times between then and Friday, but no medical man attended during that time. On Friday, about 11 o'clock, Mr. Allen, surgeon, attended him. Cross-examined by Mr. PoLLoce-i-The deceased slept with Mr. Sowry till Monday, the 23d of June. Sowry al ways kept Morrison's pills in the house. He had taken them for a year and three-quarters before then. The pri soner is brother-in-law to Sowry. He is a person of great kindness, and sat up with the deceased all night. The pills witness got were two boxes of Nos. 1 and 2. Mary Brittain examined—ls servant to Sowry. On the Monday night the deceased said he was very poorly. He died on the Friday week following. On Tuesday pills were given him. He continued ill, and desired to have the pri soner sent for. He lives in Feasgate-street, and keeps an inn there. On the Tuesday morning deceased said a rash had come out and gone in again. Witness never saw the pri soner give him any of the pills. Deceased vomited and purged two or three times a-day, but did not complain of pain. He had no appetite, and,:was thirsty. The prisoner felt his pulse. Cross-examined —On Tuesday he said he thought he would take some of Morrison's pills. I said I did not know what it would turn to. He had taken the pills on former occasions ; so had Mr. Sowry and myself. The prisoner was in the habit of coming to Sowry's. He was very anxious after the deceased. Joseph Hugal examined.—ls journeyman to Sowry, but does not sleep in the house. Deceased had the small pox. Witness did not see him take the medicine, but saw the prisoner there two or three times a day. When prisoner returned from the deceased we inquired as he passed the shop how deceased was ? Prisoner said, in a fair way of recovery. After he was dead I conversed with Sowry about the funeral ; he thought he ought to be interred on ' the Saturday morning early, on account of the small-pox. The prisoner said it would be better to consult Dr. Allen and Mrs. Whip, the deceased's mother. She was there. George Robson, of Oswaldwick, farmer, saw deceased very well on Sunday, the 15th of July. On the day of his death witness talked with Sowry, and the next day talked with the prisoner about Morrison's pills at Webb's. Wit ness said "We have come about holding an inquest." Both Sowry and prisoner said Allen should be sent for, and he would satisfy us. We mentioned the inquest to Mrs. Whip. The prisoner said " Lord have mercy upon me, do you mean to do that ?" I asked prisoner if deceased had taken 10, 15, and 20 of the pills in one day ? Pri soner said he had. I received a letter from prisoner upon the circumstance (produced). It stated that at six o'clock on the Friday nothing could be done for the deceased. I said that it was strange, that Sowry should s ay at ten o ' clock on Friday that dece ase d was getting better. The letter was written in great agitation. George Robson, jun. identified the letter. He met pri soner's son bringing it to his father, and took it. Elizabeth Whip, th e mot h er of the deceased, said that the day before her son died she was sent for from Hetton, and got to York about half-past 9on the Thursday evening. She found him very ill. Prisoner and Sowry were there. She wished to have medical help for her son. Prisoner said there was no occasion for it, he was getting on, and would be well in two or three days, and walking about York. She sat up along with him that night. Prisoner stayed till mid night. The deceased was very restless, and did not get a moment's sleep. He had no medicine, but was purged three times. While the prisoner stayed the window was kept open. It was then shut till about 4 o'clock, and then opened again. The prisoner came about 6 o'clock, and witness wished a doctor to be sent for. The deceased said, if any body, Mr. Allen. The prisoner said there was no occasion for it, there was no danger. His hands, legs, and feet were then in a cold clammy sweat, and he was extremely weak. The prisoner then gave him some more pills, witness could not say how many, but paid 15s. the next day for pills. Two boxes were left. These were delivered to Mr. Allen. The room in which deceased lay was small and close. Prisoner said it should not have heen opened. About 12 o'clock on Friday the deceased got up, but could not sit up five minutes. I left him for awhile soon after, and at half-past 2 o'clock the prisoner said he had just closed his eyes. Prisoner said if he had sat up with him he would not have died. If the window had not been set open in the morning he would have got well. Cross-examined—Prisoner was very attentive, and ap peared anxious about the deceased, and wished to sit up with him. The deceased was always grateful for his at tentions. John Wood, coroner for the city, held an inquest on the body on Saturday, the 28th of June. He received two boxes of the pills ; a few were taken out by the medical men in attendance. The rest were given to Mr. Sinclair, attorney for the prosecution. The prisoner came volun tarily to the inquest, and was examined, and signed his ex amination. After the verdict he surrendered himself. Mr. Sinclair delivered the two boxes of pills to Mr. West, of Leeds, chymist. Mrs. Whip was recalled to identify the pills—Mr. West received the two boxes of pills on Saturday, the .sth of July, and now produced the boxes numbered 1 and 2. He analyzed them by a series of not less than two hundred ex periments, the result of which was as follows :—The pills No. 1 averaged 21 grains each pill, and were compos ed of aloes, and colocynth, together, one grain, but in what proportions he could not ascertain, gamboge half a grain, and cream of tartar three quarters of a grain. There was also a small portion of ginger, but not sufficient to affect the weight. The pills No. 2 averaged three grains each, and contained of aloes and colcynth one grain, gam boge one grain and a-half, cream of tartar half a grain, and ginger as before. Cross-examined by Mr. PoLLocx—l examined about 15 pills. The analysis I most rely upon was one of two pills each. I first dissolved them in alcohol, and obtained a 'yellow colour, which I afterwards verified to be gamboge. There were crystals formed. These proved to be cream of tartar. The aloes I could discover by the taste and smell, which it is impossible to disguise. I know no chemical test to rely upon for the colocynth. I picked out fragments of it from the pills, which I think no chemist could mistake. I first ascertained the qualities, that is the ingredients, of which the pills were composed, and next the quantities of each ingredient. To ascertain the quantities, I first sepa rated the cream of tartar contained in two pills, by saturat ing them at a mean temperature, and having thus got rid of the other ingredients, weighed it. The experiment would show rather too little than too much, and I allowed 3-10ths of a grain for waste. I then obtained the gamboge by making a precipitate with sulphate of copper, and am confident there was above half a grain in a pill. There might be three-quarters of a grain ; a quarter of a grain is on the safe side. I believe there was more than a quarter of a grain. There remained one grain for the aloes and colocynth, which I could not separate. The quantities in the pills No. 2 were ascertained by a similar process. The statement of the prisoner before the coroner, in which he fully admitted having administered the pills, was then put in, together with his letter to the witness Robson, and read. James Allen examined.—ls a surgeon in York. Was sent for to attend the deceased on Friday morning, the 28th of June. The prisoner was there. Deceased complained of pains in his head and stomach, and was throwing his arms about very restlessly. He was labouring under a se vere confident small-pox. His whole body was then in a cold perspiration. He was in a very dangerous state. I apprehended death almost immediately. I inquired into the treatment, and the prisoner told me what had been given him. I returned in two hours. He was then insen sible, and died in half an hour after that. Drs. Wake and Balcombe, Mr. Matterson, and myself; afterwards opened the body. We examined the stomach and bowels particu larly. They were much inflamed, the stomach approaching to mortification in the cardiac. I believe he died of small pox, most' tirobably aggraiated by the treatment with dras tic purges which he received. There was appearance of piles in the rectum, most probably produced by the same cause. A great proportion of the cases of small-pox which terminate fatally do so on the eighth day. I should not have looked for death on that day in the present case, be cause the pox was then maturated, but if at all, during the secondary fever between the 11th and 17th days. Drastic purges are decidedly improper, because they lessen the powers of life, already greatly reduced by the disease. The most proper treatment must, in a measure, depend upon the constitution of the patient, and the degree of excitement he is under. Morrison's pills are improper, because they tend to depress the powers of life, and to produce inflammation in the stomach and bowels. Giving several doses would, in his opinion, tend to accelerate death. The window being opened on the Friday did no injury. Cross-examined.—lt is not easy to detect small-pox. On its first appearance, it is usual to cleanse the stomach and bowels. The fifth day after the eruption is an important day, the fever is the highest then. The term " confluent " denotes the great number of the pustules, and their number measures the degree of violence of the disease. With the utmost care, inflammation will sometimes arise, and will run its course, but inflammation of the stomach rarely hap pens in the small-pox. Mr. Matterson, surgeon of York for 29 years, assisted in examining the body, and described it as the last witness had done. In small-pox purgatives are to be given with great caution, and of the mildest kind. Gamboge and aloes are not at all proper. The exhibition would be very likely to accelerate death. Cross-examined.—Drastic purges act upon the lower bowels--saline ones upon the upper bowels. Can't tell if there be a part of the colocynth that is inert ; inflamma tion may be communicated from one part of the body to another, and often is so. There have been many case of small-pox in York lately, several after vaccination, but none of those after vaccination have been fatal. Drastic medicines rather increase than diminish the inflammation of the bowels. Death was probably accelerated in the pre sent case by the want of proper, and by the administration of improper, treatment. Dr. Balcombe—Has been 22 years a physician, and ten years practising in York. The probable cause of the de ceased's death was the small-pox, height ene d b y t h e treat ment. Gamboge and co l oc y n th might be taken in small quantities, but he would not administer them at all, espe cially if fever was high. They would produce inflammation, and might so accelerate death. Cross-examined.—The probable cause of the death was the small-pox. Of six cases which he had seen in his ex perience, they had died on the Bth or 9th days after the eruption. The death of the deceased was just within the natural range of the disease. He referred the inflammation of the stomach to the pills. By the COURT--I think his death was accelerated by the pills, but I cannot say he would not have died if he had not had them. On the cross-examination some little discrepancies ap peared between the doctor's evidence and his deposition taken before the coroner. Dr. Baldwin Wake—Has been a physician 26 years. Assisted in the post mortem examination of the body. Was struck with the appearance of inflammation in the stomach, so much so, that if he had not known the deceased had been labouring under small-pox, he should without hesitation re fer the death to the inflammation alone. He called the at tention of the other gentlemen to it at the time. He should have said the inflammation was caused by a virulent poison. If previous inflammation existed, gamboge was of all things most calculated to increase it. There is not much harm in the aloes, but the pulp of the colocynth is an active vege table poison. Drastic purges are highly improper in small pox. He attributed the death to the inflammation of the stomach and bowels, and to the strong drastic purges ad ministered the evening and morning before the death. Cross-examined. —Nev er saw the deceased alive. It is good practice to clear the stomach and bowels by a mild aperient. In obstinate constitutions, recourse might be had to drastic medicines. Years ago witness had been re commended to try gamboge in his practice ; but he found it so intractable that he abandoned it, except in very parti cular cases. He had never analyzed " Morrison's pills ;" but finding that some of hi s pat i ents took them, he ha examined them so far as to ascertain that they contained gamboge, which induced him to caution his patients against them. Mutrs polrde.callHede— .was 20 wh en h e di e d. The deceased was vacc i nate d at Mr. West recalled.—There we re a b ou t 40 p ill s i n each box he received. He could no t t e ll h ow many a box usu ally contained. This closed the case fo r th e prosecution. Mr. POLLOCK submitted th a t t h ere was no case to go to the Jury, and in a long and l earne d argument, in which he referred to the opinions of L or d C o k e, Lord Hale, Black stone,abo; y M ear i and Hawkins, as well as to som e mo d ern - reported case s, particularly that of St. John Long, contended that the charge of felony could not be supported, and that it mattered not that the prisoner was no licensed practitioner, for the law did not make that distinction to convict any man of felony, or where there was not only the total ab sence of malice, but, as was admitted in this case, a most humane and anxious desire to cure and to heal ; it could not be that the prisoner should be committed for giving as a friend, and at the request of the deceased, what he sin cerely believed would be beneficial. Mr. Serjeant ATCHERLY and Mr. ALEXANDER followed on the same side. The LORD CHIEF BARON agreed that the statutes to license medical and surgical practitioners did not and could not make the distinction to permit one man to escape a conviction for felony, and to convict another for the same offence, but it applied to both, and if either acted igno rantly in administering strong and improper medicines, the law would reach them both. He should leave it to the Jury to say whether the death of the deceased was accele rated by the administering of these pills to him by the pri soner ; if they found so, he was guilty of manslaughter. The prisoner being called upon for his defence, read from a written paper a statement of the cure of his wife and one of his children, when other aid had failed, by those pills, and also receiving benefit from them himself, he was induced to become an agent for the sale of them, and had been the means of administering benefit to thousands. When the cholera was in York, the deceased was attacked by it, and was very shortly cured by the pills. On these grounds, and from motives of regard to the deceased, he was induced to administer them, and did not believe that they had caused his death. He trusted the Jury would respect his motives, and restore him with an unblemished character to his family and to society. The prisoner was several times much affected while read ing his address. On his concluding it, Mr. POLLOCK proceeded to call the first witness. John Lott, who stated that he lived at Derby, and that his eldest boy having taken the small-pox, he administered Morrison's pills to the boy with good effect. The counsel for the prosecution here interrupted the ex amination, and contended that no proof was before them that the pills alluded to by the witness and those which had been given to the deceased were of the same description. A clerk from the Stamp-office, London, was then called, to prove that the stamps from Nos. 1 and 2 boxes were only supplied by the Stamp-office to Mr. Morrison, and that the boxes produced in Court have the only kind of stamp issued for Mr. Morrison's pills. Mr. John Morrison, of Gray's Inn, son to Mr. Morrison, was- next called, but he could not speak from any direct knowledge of the kind of pills that were issued. Ho said SATURDAY, J7LY 19. (Before Mr. Justice PARK.) Thomas Fielding„ aged 14, Charles Booth, aged 31, Wil liam -Oldham, aged 28, and Edward Henry Green, aged 25, were indicted for breaking and entering the shop of John Brownsword, in this town, on the night of the Ist of July instant, and stealing therein jewellery to the amount of upwards of .500/. The prisoners are :all notorious characters, and had been in gaol repeatedly for the last ten or fifteen years. The robbery was committed at about eleven o'clock on the above night ; and a reward of 501. was offered next day by the prosecutor for the detection of the offenders. In a few days afterwards Booth made overtures to a Jew named Solomon Abrahams to purchase the stolen property, which the Jew promised to do. After he had seen the articles, and had been in communication with all the prisoners on the subject, he gave notice to the police, and having re ceived 501. in marked money. for the purpose, he purchased a quantity of the articlesrartd gave the prisoners the marked money in payment. The prisoners were shortly afterwards apprehended, and some of the marked money was found in the possession of each of them. Oldham had fled, and got as far as Lincoln before he was apprehended, and a quan tity of the stolen property was found in his possession, be sides two of the marked sovereigns. He made a desperate resistance, but was overpowered. They were all found guilty, and sentenced to be trans ported for life. WESTERN CIRCUIT—SALISBURY, July 18. Before Lord DENMAN. Charles Kimmer was indicted for setting fire to certain premises of the Rev. Maurice Hillier Goodman, at Oare, m the parish of Wilcot. The Rev. M. H. Goodman—l live at Oare. A fire took place on my premises on the 21st of April. I was disturbed ten minutes before one. I went down immediately to the fire, which was from 150 to 200 yards distant. All the roofs of two barns, a cart-shed, and stable, had fallen in ; three horses and twenty-four pigs were burnt. My carters slept over the end stable, where there was a single horse ; that stable was burnt. By the COURT—The prisoner was not in my service. His father is, and has been ever since he was ten years of age, and he is now 62. James Townsend—l know the prisoner, and saw him about 11 o'clock on the night of the fire at Bartlett's. I saw him about 3 o'clock in the morning at the fire. His boots were laced up. William Racey—l married a sister of the prisoner ; we all live together. Prisoner slept in the next room to mine, he must go through my room to get to his ; James Kimmer slept with the prisoner at the time. I remember the night of the fire. I heard a man cry " fire" about half-past 12 o'clock. I called James Kimmer ; I did not see the pri soner then. The door of the house was bolted when we were all at home, it was not bolted that night. About half an hour after I got to the fire I saw the prisoner there. I did not hear any one come through my room that night. By the CouaT—l had been asleep, and a person might have gone without my hearing. All the family were there when I went to bed, with the exception of the prisoner. James Kimmer, jun.—l am brother to the prisoner. I heard the clock strike 12 on the night of the fire. The prisoner, who slept with me, had not then come to bed. I had not seen him since 6 o'clock in the evening. He came home to bed the next night. Henry Goddard—l am an officer from Bow-street. went down to Oare on the 24th of April. I apprehended the prisoner the same day in the afternoon. He had been in bed all day, and had just got up. I told him I had a warrant against him for the fire. He said " Very well, I'll come." I asked him what time he went to bed on the night of the fire. He said a quarter before 10 o'clock. I then took him to Marlborough Gaol. On the way I again asked him what time he went to bed, he told me as before, and said " It's no use asking me any more questions, for you are not going to drag it out of I." Mr. Goodman recalle—There was an examination of the prisoner and witnesses on the 28th April before the Magistrates._ I was standing close to the prisoner ; he touched me, and said, " I wish to speak to you," and turned round in a hurry. He said, " I only want you, Sir, and Mr. Timothy Goodman." We went into the hall, and he said, "I am the man that did it. lam guilty." I asked him what could induce him to do so. He said, " Nothing —beer, beer, beer!" He was then in such a state that I got vinegar to recover him. He after that made a full confession before the Magistrates. The examination of the prisoner was then read, in which he stated that he took some tinder and struck a light, and set the straw-rick on fire, and he was the only person concerned. Goddard re-called—On taking prisoner to Salisbury gaol, I asked him how he had spent his time after he had left Bartlett's house. He said he went home at half-past 11 o'clock, sat himself down in his mother's arm-chair, and after remaining there nearly an hour, he took some tinder out of a tinder-box, some matches, and a flint and steel, and put them into his pocket, and then went to Mr. Goodman's pre mises, struck a light, and set it all on fire. I asked him if he heard the horses cry, and he said he did, and that he was truly unhappy. He added, he was going to set fire to Mr. Edmonds's premises. I said, " What, on the same night?" He said, " Yes, but the reason I did not do it was because I was afraid my own sister's house would have been burnt, and it might have burnt her child.." The prisoner said nothing in his defence. Lord DENMAN then summed up the case. The first question was, whether the straw described was a stack of straw ; and next, whether it was his intention to burn the barn when he set fire to the straw. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. Lord DENMAN then put on the black cap, and addressed the prisoner—" You have been convicted .on evidence which leaves no manner of doubt of the fact of one of the greatest crimes that it is possible for a man to be guilty of. You have set fire to the premises of a person who was doing benefit to your family, without the smallest motive that can be assigned, and without anything like provocation which could give an appearance of excuse. The destruc tion of his property is in itself a most wicked act ; but this case is accompanied by other circumstances which give it a still more diabolical character, for those poor things in the stables and sties were sure to be sacrificed to your cruelty ; and besides that, there were three boys in the stable which there were about 80 pills. Cross-examined by Mr. DUNDAS—What are the pills composed of ? The witness inquired whether he was bound to answer his question ? After some remarks from Mr. PoLLocK and the Learned JUDGE, Mr. DUNDAS asked the witness whether there was any gamboge in the pills? and his Lordship having told him that he must answer that question, the witness stated that there was. After one or two more witnesses had been examined as to the cases in ,small-pox, &c. produced by th e p ill s. Mr. POLL OCK rose to take an objection to the indict ment, on the ground that all the medical witnesses for the prosecution had given it as their opinion that the deceased died of small-par, but that the death was accelerated by the medicine given by the prisoner. Not one of the counts were framed to meet this point. It was charged in them all that the death of the deceased was to be attributed to the improper treatment of the prisoner and the medicines he had administered. The Learned Counsel held the dif ference to be material, Mr. Sergeant ATCHERLEY followed shortly on the same side. Mr. STARKEY and Mr. DUNDAS argued against the ob jection. Mr. POLLOCK replied, when Lord LYNDHURST said that his impression at present was against the objection, and he should allow the trial to proceed ; but he should reserve to himself the power to alter his opinion if anything should arise to justify him in so doing. The e examination of witnesses then proceeded to prove the utility of the pills, and the cures effected by them in nu merous cases, some of them similar to the present. A medical gentleman was examined for the defence, who said that the appearances in the stomach of the deceased were such as he should expect in bad cases of small-pox. Lord LYNDHURST summed up the evidence at conside rable length, and said that they had two points to consider. The first was, whether the deceased had died from the effects of the pills ; and, secondly, whether the prisoner in wilful ignorance administered those pills, the effects of which he he halt taken thirty 'pills a day for three months succes sively, and never felt any bad effects. Mr. Probart, of Derby, then gave evidence as to the cures effected to his own knowledge by the pills. Mr. Moat, of London, was next called. He said he was the partner of Mr. Morrison, and that only two kinds, marked Nos. 1 - and 2, were manufactured by them. The witness said the pills were all mixed by himself, except oc casionally some by Mr. 'Morrison. In a 2s. and 9d. box, upon Mary Smith, aged 11 years, at Calverton, on the 24th of May last. The prisoner, who was a married man, with three children, received a good character from several wit nesses.—The prisoner was acquitted. Mr. SMITH conducted the prosecution ; Mr. STONE ap peared for the prisoner. Samuel Mokes—l am a chimneysweeper at Witney. I was in cempany with deceased at the Horse and Way on the 12th of. May last. He was playing at skittles with Lucas. A quarrel ensued between them. The prisoner afterwards camein. Lucas said to him, " this is the man I want you to fight" (pointing to Townsend). The prisoner said to de ceased, " What have you got to say ?" Deceased said, " No thing." Then the prisoner struck deceased, who put his arms round him, and they both fell down together. I said to prix soner, " Don't you fight him no more, for he is not able to fight you." Deceased was not well. They were not in liquor. Prisoner then struck me. I said " Don't fight him any more ; he shall fight you to-morrow morning for a sovereign if he is better." John Stone said, " There's nothing like the pre sent time, go on." Then prisoner struck deceased on the head, and knocked him down. Townsend was not doing anything ; he said, " For God's sake don't strike me any more, for lam not able to fight you." He was then on his knees. Prisoner then st ruc k hi m un d er the ear, and he fell on his back, a n d closed his lips, and never spoke after. William Lucas was.there. • The prisoner then went to see another fight. I went also. When I returned, in about an hour and a half, I found Townsend lying dead in the brewhouse. Cross-examined—Deceased was no relation of mine, but we always called each other " brother." He was not a prize-fighter. He had never fought but once before, to my knowledge. Several witnesses were examined, from whose evidence it appeared that the prisoner had not intended any serious injury to the deceased. The Jury acquitted him of murder, but found him guilty of manslaughter. He was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—NOTTINGHAM, JULY 18. (Before Mr. Justice TAUNTON and a Common Jury.) DENMAN V. TRUSWELL. This was an action for a breach of promise of \marriage. Mr. Bulguy and Mr. Clarke were counsel for the plain tiff, and Mr. Hill and Mr. Whitehurst for the defendant. The plaintiff, Ann Denman, was the daughter of the late James Denman, who had been a farmer at Farnsfield, in this county. She and the defendant were cousins, and had known each other from childhood. So far back as the year 1822, an attachment had commenced between them, and it was sanctioned by their friends on both sides. The plaintiff was then about 17 years of age. In the following year Mr. Denman died, but the defendant continued his courtship of the plaintiff, who was a very handsome girl, and with whom he entered into an engagement of marriage, in consequence of which no other suitor was allowed to approach her. One gentleman, however, did make some advances to her, which had the effect of alarming the de fendant, who, in order to .assure the plaintiff of his deter mination to make her his wife, gave her a written engage ment in his own hand-writing. This paper would be given in evidence, and contained a promise that he would make her his wife, and no other. Mr. Denman died in 1823, leaving no will ; and, in consequence, his property went to his eldest son. The plaintiff, and the other ten children, were of course left without" any property, and the family thought it right to communicate this circumstance to the defendant, he being under a promise of marriage ; the de fendant said his attachment was so sincere and deeply rooted, that no change of circumstances would make the slightest alteration in his intentions. They lived in the same vil lage, and he continued his visits year after year, till the spring of 1833, when it was discovered that the plaintiff was pregnant. The mother of the plaintiff, prior to this, had frequently suggested that the time was wearing on, and they were not married ; he replied, the longer he waited as a bachelor the better, as he would be better able to pro vide for her. The defendant had taken advantage of the confidence placed in him, and heartlessly and cruelly be trayed the plaintiff in an unguarded moment, and in the spring of last year she became pregnant. Soon after this discovery was made, instead of performing his promise, he left her to shame and disgrace. Compensation in money could not be awarded ; but in justice, a portion of the fund he had saved ought to be given her to make her comfort able. He was possessed of a moiety of 100 acres of land, and had been living a careful frugal life, saving money from year to year, for the purpose of making a just settlement upon this girl. The learned counsel concluded by calling upon the jury to mark their opinion of the base and cruel conduct of the defendant, by awarding ample damages. Witnesses were then called who corroborated the learned counsel's statement. The written promise of the defendant was in these words— " Dear Ann Denman,-_I mean to have you for my wife and no other. This was wrot by my own handwriting. " RICHARD TRUSWELL, Farnsfield. " Nov. 30, 1822." The plaintiff was brought to bed in the last year, and the defendant said he would maintain the child. jMr. HILL, for the defendant, urged upon the jury to do ustice between the parties, and not to let their feelings bias their decision in favour of the plaintiff, but to act according to the oath they had taken. The real question at issue ought to be looked at with firmness and coolness, and the jury ought not to be drawn aside by an unfair representa tion : on the part of his friend, it was a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence ; but on his view of the case, the plaintiff was not entitled to any damages at all. That which was called in her a misfortune, he should, in dis charging his duty, denominate an offence, committed as much by the one as the other. What would be the conse quence upon the morals of;the country, if juries were to put a value upon the commission of crime ? They were not called upon to say how much they disapproved of the young man's conduct, but they were to give the young woman compensation for the wrong she had sustained, where she was innocent, and without blame ; would it not be a fear ful prospect to hold out to persons in her condition if, in stead of encouraging them to habits of chastity, and guard ing against temptation, they were encouraged to become tempters, and to inveigle parties into offences ? The learned counsel then remarked upon the situation in life of both parties ; that the property of the defendant had been more than it was, and that was incumbered with 4001. for his share of it ; that the paper containing the promise of mar riage did not give him an exalted idea of the plaintiff ; he had looked fora stamp in the corner of this promissory note, and expected to have seen it was for so many months, but on examination he found it was a small square piece of paper, and was a general promissory note, " wrote by my own handwriting." He then remarked upon the " violence" of the love between these parties, which must have been closely bottled up, not to have escaped before thirteen years had expired ; the dandling on for that period raised the probability that, if on his part he intended to betray her, he would not have waited till she was 28 or 29 years of age before he had done so. If females could not at that age guard themselves, it would perhaps be necessary to re turn to the Spanish system, and appoint a duenna over them till they were fifty-eight, or perhaps sixty-eight years of age. Supposing she was not equally guilty with the de fendant, an action might have been brought by her mother for seduction, and then a jury would have seen what sort of a person the plaintiff was, how the circumstances really were, and whether the plaintiff was the poor, artless, simple creature they had been led to understand. After a few remarks upon the question of damages, he concluded by ad mitting that small damages must be given, but he prayed the jury not to give anything excessive. The Learned JUDGE shortly summed up, and the jury retired for a quarter of an hour, when they returned a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages 6001. (Before Mr. Justice PARR. ) John Severn, aged 35, was charged w ith a capital assault on the person f Jane Elizabeth Walkinson, a girl under the age of 10 years. In this case, the father and mother of the child being both dead, Sarah Watton was called, but failed to prove her under ten years, as laid in the indictment. The Learned JUDGE told the jury that the prisoner must be acquitted on that indictment, which was accordingly done, and another having been framed, the grand jury found a true bill for a misdemeanour. He was subsequently tried on the latter indictment, but the evidence is too gross for publication. The conduct of the prosecutrix and the principal witness, a girl of 14 years of age, called forth th e an i ma d vers i on o f the Learned Judge. Sveral witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. The prisoner was found Guilty, and the Court, in pass ing sentence, observed, it was very glad that the weight of punishment was discretional, although the wanton beha viour of the girls was no moral extenuation of the pri soner's guilt, which was a sad reproach to the good character he had received from so many persons.—To be imprisoned two calendar months, and kept to hard labour. George Parker, aged 22, was indicted for a similar assault was fired, whose lives were almost sure to have been sacri ficed, and it is a great mercy that their lives were spared. It i s my painful duty to tell you, that you have but a few more days to live, and th a t b y a sacrifice of your own life, the example may induce others to abstain from the commis sion of crime. It seems you laid this crime to the account of drink, when your conscience wrung from you the con fession you made ; but that is an idle delusion—it is not drink that induces men to commit acts like these. For the few days you have to live, I hope you will employ them in such a manner as to reconcile you to your Maker, and hold 1. IS. 5 'tog 0. Ord 0' C. ild. c ., al, .- J. v. ♦V. '• C.
