A. witness named Ford corroborated Robert Al way respect ing the declaration of the defendant, that he would provide for the plaintiff's wife, and the overseer of the parish reprssetsted the property of the defendant to be worth about 700!. or 8001., but did not possess any accurate means of knowledge. TArtsTox addressed the Jury for the defendant, con. tending—iirst, that the adultery was not sufficiently prayed, because the evidence of the plaintiff 's father was incredible and second, that, supposing the proof complete, the plaintiff ought only to obtain nominal damages. There was not the slightest proof of seduction ; no evidence that many persons besides the defendant had not shared the favours of the lady ; and a man who was so insensible to his own dishonour as, ac cording to the testimony of the apprentice, to occupy the same room with his wife after discovering her infidelity, could not ask a Jury to give him any recompence for the loss of those af fection's which he had taken so little pains to preserve, and which he had lost with so little of manly resentment or honour able sorrow. Ilr. J ustice Bontwu cm directed the Jury to consider, first, whether the adultery was proved ; and secondly, if they thought it was, what damages the plaintiff was entitled to re cover. The story told by the plaintiff's witnesses was extra ordinary, and, if true, proved his wife to be a shameless wo man, whose conduct, of course, the Jury would consider in es timating the damages. The Jury. after consulting for a quarter of an hour, return ed a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1201. REX. V. ALDRIDGE, ESQ. This was an indictment which was preferred against the defendant, who is a Magistrate of the county of Gloucester, for corruptly refusing to license a person named Gardner, to keep a public-house, unless he would deal with Mr. Watts, a .brewer, and wrongfully licensing a person named Mason. Mr. Campbell, Mr. Cross, and Mr. C. Phillips, conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Russell, and Mr. Phil• potts, the defence. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Gardner, was the owner of a ho use , s itu a t e a t Risley, for which he wished to obtain a license as a public house, not intending to reside in it, but because he could let it for a larger rent with a license than without one. For this purpose he applied to Aldridge, a gentleman of 72 years of age, and who was a Magistrate. It appeared that Mr. Aldridge had some years since carried on the business of a brewer, but that he had given up that business to his son, who had since resigned it in favour of Mr. Watts. When the prosecutor first applied for the li cence in 1822, Mr. Aldridge said that it ought not to be licens ed, as there were so many public-houses. However, on a se cond application by the prosecutor, Mr. Alridge said, that as it appeared to be the wish of the neighbourhood, it should be licensed, but added, I should like to serve my friend Watts." This the prosecutor assented to, and it was understood that the beer to be consumed in the house should be bought of Mr. Watts. Several other interviews took place, in one of which the prosecutor said to Mr. Aldridge, that he should be willing to let the house to any person, put into it by Mr. Watts, and Mr. Aldridge said, the licence had better be granted to Mason. This the prosecutor assented to. This person, named Mason, was a hair-dresser in the town of Stroud, who proved that he had never carried on a public-house, or intended to do so, nor had he applied co any Magistrate to licence him ; how ever, the prosecutor and Mason, and two persons as sureties, went before Mr. Aldridge and Mr. Burgh, another Magistrate, and license was granted to Mason to keep the prosecutor's house as a public house; but Mr. Watts ultimately declining to put any one into the house as a tenant, Mr. Aldridge refused to consent to the assigning of the licence to the prosecutor, and it therefore remained useless in the hands of Mason. This ap peared to be the grievance complained of. Mr. LUDLOW addressed the Jury for Mr. Aldridge, and argued that there was not the least evidence of 'corruption on his part, and that whatever the arrangement about the licence was, the prosecutor himself was consenting to it. Mr. Justice BURROUGH recapitutaten tne racts to tne Jury, ana said, that ❑nless they were satisfied that Mr. Al dridge was actuated by corrupt motives, he was entitled to an acquittal.—Verdict, Not Guilty. BRIDGEWATER, AUGUST 10. MANSLAL I GHTF.R. Hannah Taunton was indicted for having, on the 15th of May lost, caused the death of her husband, Henry Taunton, by throwing and pushing him down the steps of Niralcot Parade, in the city of Bath, with force and violence, by which he re ceived several " mortal wounds, bruises, and concussions," of which he languished till he died, on the 18th of the same month. The case for the prosecution was stated by Mr. GUNNING. —The remarkable features of it were these. Th e p r i s on er , about 70 years old, thought of marriage in April last. She fixed her affections on the deceased,—rather above than under ; they were both paupers. The union of the parties made scale noise at the time in the fashionable world at Bath —many a jets d'esprit was let fly in the pump-room, and old maids began to think of blooming afresh, declaring that " it was better late than never," and always " better to marry than burn." Mr. and Mrs. T. spent the happiest honey-moon, envied by all the men and matrons in Bath. Scarcely had the month expired, when—alas ! how inconstant is man's happi ness ! —they were heard by their neighboUrs to bicker and brawl. On the night of the 15th May they walked out together, Apparently full of affection towards each other. They were seen together walking arm-in-arm on Walcot Parade at half-past 8 o'clock. From this parade there is a descent of 30 stone steps to the street, with a landing-place in the middle. At the top of this passage the deceased requested the prisoner to precede him : she refused, and as soon as he made one step down, she put her right hand to his back,. and pushed him down violently 14 steps, till he fell flat on the, landing. There she left him till he was taken home by the neighbours. He died in 58 hours after, and said that he would never forgive his wife. The facts were proved.—The surgeons spoke of" the bruises, contusions, abrasions, inflammations, extravasations of blood, and quantities of serum in the ventricles of the brajn." These latter symptoms, however, were not to be attributed so much to the fall, as to the gradual decay of nature in the man. The sur geons maintained—nobody doubted them—that the man could not live long, though he received no fall at all. Mr. HALCOMB, for the prisoner, took several objections to the form of the indictment, in which, instead of " mortal wounds, bruises, and concussions," the adjective "mortal" ought to be repeated with each substantive. The place on which the man was thrown was not the ground, as laid in the indictment, but stone steps raised on an archway. The argu ments on these abstruse points took up much time, and wasted great learning, for the JUDGE overruled the objections without much hesitation. The woman was fond Guilty, and sentenced to six months imprisonment. CARLISLE, AuG. 10. HALLIDAY v. ATKINSON AND A I..rOTFIER. This was an action brought by the father of the plaintiff; who was a minor, against the defendants, who were the executors of a person named M‘linight, deceased, to recover the sum of 1001. being the amount of a promissory note made by Mlinight, in favour of Halliday, jun. It appeared that .51`linight kept an Inn at Whitehaven ; he was a married man and had no chil dren; Al‘Knight died about August, 1821. In his lifetime he was violently addicted to intoxication, and it was stated by the defent and his witnesses, that when he so laboured under intoxication his mind appeared to be deranged. He, was under the constant impression of being haunted by a spirit, a" thing" which intended to take him away ; but the defendants' Counsel was of opinion, that he was haunted by tbe spirit of rum, a spirit not anxious to take, but most anxious to be taken by him. It was contended that while he was in this state of intoxication he had signed or had been forced so sign the instrument upon which this action was brought.—The plaintiff's witnesses proved the deceased's signature, but they did not state that any consideration was given for the bill in question.—The defend ants-produced several witnesses, who proved that the note was executed at a time when the deceased's state of mind was such that he was unfit to manage his own affairs,and the defendants' Counsel stated that the note had been got up either to save the legacy duty or for some other improper purpose. The servants, who were alarmed when he exclaimed, that the " thing" was 'Come to take him away, assured the Court that they looked round the room, but could find no" thing" of the kind;. the deceased at that timewas much intoxicated.-111r. Baron HUL LOCK summed up the case; and the Jury, after a few -moments consideration, returned a verdict for the plaiatim—paroages, icer' 3 with interest on the bill from the year 1821. Pltlcl, SrivnNPrscr,. LAW ITN FELLIGENGE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, A UG. lILLLAND AND OTHERS, IN THE MATTER. OF MAELCII, STRACEY, AND CO., BANKRUPTS. This was an application on the part of the assignees. to have the proof of a debt of 9,0001. and upwards, made by Sir Thomas Hare against the bankrupts' estate, expunged.— The facts of the case were these :—Sir Thomas Hare. who was a gentleman residing in Norfolk, being desirous of.rais ing the sum of 15,001)1. on mortgage, the late Alr. Fauntleroy und?rtook to .supply his wants. The way in which this-was to be done was by selling out stock, of which he was co-trustee with others, which was done, as it was supposed at the time, with the requisite formalities. The sum raised by the sale of stock, was paid into the house of Martin and Co., the banicelli On account of Marsh, Stracey, and Co. When the mortgage was executed, the money was transferred from 'Martin 'tad Co.'s to Marsh and Co., and placed to Mr. Fauntleroy's pri vate account. Sub s eq uent ly t o t h ese proceedings, Sir Thomas Hare opened an ac coun t wit h M ars h an d Co., by piying in 3001. That sum he drew out, at different periods„ and , botice was given that his account was closed. He continued,. however, to draw upon the house, and the checks were paid by Mr. Fauntleroy's direction, and he made himself a debtar for their amount in his private account. Matters were in this state when the. house failed, and Sir Thomas had proved a debt against the estate for upwards of 9,000/., which he said he had given Mr. Fauntleroy directions to invest in the 4 per cents., and which it was supposed had been invested, as the credit was given to Sir Thomas Hare in the accounts for sundry dividends.. Mr. I'EpYS, on behalf of the plaintiffs, the assignees, con tended that the transaction was purely a personal otie between Sir Thomas Hare and Mr. Fauntleroy, and therefore the for flier was not entitled to prove his debt against the ,hankruins' estate. Mr. HART, on the other side, maintained the converse of that proposition, and called upon the Court to decide the ques tion at once. His HONOUR said, that the question was too much one of account to allow of its being decided satisfactorily by him. He woukl therefore direct an issue to try whether the transaction was a personal one betw-2en Sir Thomas Hare and Mr. Fauut. leroy, or a general one with the firm. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. AWFUL DEATH OF A PRISONER'S WIFE! GUILDHALL, AUG. 12.—Yesterday several frivolous cases occupied the attention of Alderman Cox till past two o'clock, when just at the moment that Proctor's case (for stealing several pairs of shoes, the property of his master) was about to.be called on, his wife, a very decent looking young woman, in the last stage of pregnancy, who had been waiting, apparently' in great anxiety, and in a state of dreadful-suspense during the whole of the morning, in the outer room, suddenly fell back from the seat where she was sitting, and expired, without either a groan or a struggle. Medical assistance was sent for with all dispatch, and two professional gentlemen were procured, one of whom attempted to bleed her, but without success, the vital spark being totally extinct. Immediately that it was known who she was, Proctor was let out of the lock-up-room to her, and his almost frantic agitation, joined to the shrieks and cries of two female relations, who 'had attended with the deceased, exhibited a scene too painful to describe. When the shock which this awful circumstance had occasioned had somewhat subsided, Mr. Arthur declared his unwillingness to proceed iu the prosecution against Proctor, who was brought betbre the Alderman, and told he - was discharged; but his state of mind seemed to be such, as to render him scarcely sensible of the circumstance. Mr. Alderman Cox, on inquiring into the situation of the poor fellow, and learning that he had a family of six small children to maintain, and that distress_ had probably driven bin to the aet,pf which he was accused, very humanely gave lihm a sovereign from his own pocket to relieve his present wants. 110 T EET. RICHMOND, THE 15 It U ISE R.— esterday this noted person age was brought before G. R. Milvsit u Lt., Esq. charged with assaulting Mr. Teasdale. Mr. T., who is a chemist and dtug gist, was passing the house of Mr. Cribb, the late Champion, with a watch-dog, whom he has for the safety of his house in the country, when he observed a man sitting at the door pat a dog on the head and say, " Mind him, Billy." Mr. T. perceived his intention, and told him to desist. He, however, persisted, and a battle between the dogs was the consequence. The gen tleman endeavoured to separate them, and finding his attempts unsuccessful, he kicked Billy. Richmond, who had not before made his appearance, stepped forward, and gave Mr. T. a se vere blow in the mouth. These were the facts. Richmond, in his defence, said, he had only taken the dog's part, and had only put his hand in the face of the prosecutor • for, , had he struck him as he described, he would not have had a tooth left in his head.—Mr. nI INSHU Lt. ordered him to find bail. TOLL COLLECTORS. UN ION -H L L.—James Dyne, one of the toll-collectors of the Lower Deptford Road, was charged with having abused Alderman Wood, and demanded more than his legal toll. It appeared that the defendant demanded 4d. for his toll, and when the Alderman produced his ticket, which cleared the gate, the defendant flung it into the road, and said it would hot do. He then demanded another penny, which he received, for watering the roads. He also told the Alderman that he intended to cheat him, and abused him. The defendant, when asked what he had to say, burst out crying, and blubbered out, that he did not think it was Alderman Wood, or he would not have questioned the ticket which he produced. The Magistrate was inclined to levy the full penalty of 5/. ; but at the request of the Alderman, he mitigated it, and fined him 2/. apd costs.— Shortly before the Office closed, a young man named Haw kins presented himself before the Magistrate, and begged his Worship to listen to his unfortunate case. It appears that the applicant had been but a short time in London, and bad ma naged to save upwards of 5/. ; with this sum in his pocket he was met at the Obelisk, while proceeding to his .brother's house in Walworth, by a sharper; Hawkins soon - became charmed with his new companion's conversation, and proceeded with him to a public-house to take some ale ; soon aftey several other fellows came in, and among them was one more fashion ably dressed than the others, and he, boasting of a legacy left him by his aunt, offered to treat all round, and then offered to bet that he had more money in his pocket than any.cee else.— At length he began to tell the usual story about a relation having met with an infortunate accident. He was immediately stopped on pronouncing the word infortunate; he offered to bet 101. to Si. that such a word was in the Dictionary. Hawkins .wasper suaded to stake his 51., he did so, and lost it.—The officers seemed to have some knowledge of the parties, and they were ordered to apprehend them. DELETERIOUS DRUGS.--Tuesday last, before the Mayor and John Brooke, Esq., the,landlord of the Chequer Inn, Water-lane, Leeds, was fined in the penalty of 1001. and costs, for having deleterious drugs in . his possessiOn. The only witness examined was an exciseman, who deposed that he found the drugs in a chest of drawers in the landlorcr.s bed room. The drawer containing the article was locked, and he was refused the key, but opened it with one of his own. ,The accused had nothing to offer in his defence, and was. imme diately convicted. The Mayor, in noticing the enormity of the offence, said that to deter others from similarly violating the law, he should enforce the penalty to the fullest extent. AMONSTER.-On Wednesday evening s .ahout nine o'clock, as two respectable young women were walking along Old-street-road, towards their residence in- Bunhill row, St. Luke's, they were accosted by a faoiimable dressed man, bearing every appearance of a gentleman,- who addressed them in language most indecent, till the young women threaten ed to call far assistance, when the villain stabbed one of fe males in three different places, and made off thrcitigh . the new built houses which lead into the City-road: Several persons went in pursuit of the ruffian,but without success. The"iatiunded girl was assisted home, hen the wounds , were examined' and considered not to be dangerous, although a consider-able:quan tity of blood bad flowed from them. It was suppoiell,theY had been inflicted by a penknife. A very awful instance of sudden. death oc curred in Killarney, on Thursday, in the case.

NISI Paws COURT.—Befure Mr. Justice BuRROUGH. CIUM. CON. ALWAY?LS NIBLETT. Mr. RUSSELL stated that this was an action for criminal con versation had by the defendant with the plaintiff's wife. Mr. LUDLOW opened the case as one attended with circum stances of aggravation, although the parties did not move in a very exalted circle. The plaintiff, a young man about 28 or 30 years of age, carried on the business of a brazier in the town of Thornbury. He had been for some years married to his pre sent wife, who had brought him four children. The defendant was also a married man, a tradesman like the plaintiff, in Thorn bury, and in habits of intimacy with his family. Under these circumstances, a criminal intercourse had taken place between Mr. Niblett and Mrs. Alway, which had blasted the comfort and the happiness of the plaintiff for ever. The intercourse had subsisted for some time before it came to his knowledge, as the defendant purchased the silenc'e of his servants ; but as soon as he knew it, lie quitted the society of his wife, and in a few days desired her to leave his roof. \s9th the knowledge of his wife's dishonour, his health and spirits failed; he became a wanderer from his home; and had been obliged to give up the business, to which he was incapable of attending. His wife was now living in a house belonging to .the defendant, and was probably still under his protection ; and he was compelled to resort to this mode of obtaining that poor and imperfect compensation which the most liberal damages could offer. Mr. Robert Alway, the plaintiff's brother, proved the mar riage, and that the plaintiff separated from his wife in March last. He thought they lived happily together. Since the separation, he had heard the defendant say he would -provide for the plaintiff's wife while he had a shilling, and she still lived in one of his houses, and a little way from his own re sidence. James Taylor, an apprentice of the plaintiff, deposed to see. ing his mistress and the defendant in an indelicate situation in the shop about two years ago, when he had climbed to a window to observe them ; but did not then see an act of Raul. tery. He also deposed to two other meetings between them shortly after, of which he did not tell his master, and that the defendant several times gave him small sums of money. He recollected the quarrel between his master and mistress in March. She remained a few days afterwards in the house ; and, on one night, his master slept with him. On cross. ' examination, after a great deal of pressing, and an admoni. tion from the Judge, the lad said that, on the other nights, his master slept in the same room with his mistress, us he heard him enter it. Mr. Richard Alway, the father of the plaintiff; who lived about half a mile from Thornbury, said that he thought his daughter-in-law made a good wife to his son, till on a Sunday in 1824, he called at the house and found the door fastened.— lie attempted to open it, and while doing so, saw Niblett coming down stairs. Mrs. Alway then came to the kitchen window and spoke to him. The 'next morning about ten he saw Niblett go towards the house and watched him. He went through the workshop to the kitchen door, and there, looking t h rou gh the window, saw Mrs. Alway a nd t h e defendant cri minally connected in the kitchen, so as to leave no doubt of their guilt. He spoke to Mrs. Alway about it, but did not tell his son for ten months after, because he - thought it would destroy all his happiness. Mrs. Alway only slept one night in the house after, he spoke on the 'subject in March ;_ for he saw her go the next day to her fathers. The plaintiff was distressed and ill when he discovered the conduct of his wife. 'On cross-examination , the - witness said that two or three persons might have stood and looked in at the kitchen win- VERY FAST TRAVELLINo, co BIFINIINGHANI and LIVERPOOL, by DAY and NIGHT Fotilt INSIDE COACHES, which KEEP GOOD TI NIT, front the S .71 ItAGEN's HEAD INN, SKINNEIt-STREEE, SNOW-HILL LONDON.
