THE Herb COLTSFOOT has long been distin guished for its excellent properties in the cure of Coughs, and other Famtonary Complaints; and this Essence has, in the course of a long practice, been found the most safe and effectual remedy for Coughs, and all Disorders of the Lungs. It gently opens the Breast, and immediately gives liberty of breathing, without any danger of taking co ld, and thus it affords great relief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the tickling which provokes frequent coughing, cleanses the small glands, relaxes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels.—Thus it will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the Lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals rawness and soreness of the Chest. This Pectoral' Essence is prepared by James Ryan, Surgeon in Bristol ; and sold in Bottles at 2s. 9d. and 3s. 6d. each, by F. Newbery and Sons, 45, St. Paul's Church Yiird ; J.

Edmonds ; - I did not know the prisoner ; he went on a little further than where he was, and sat down ; Ann Fleck sat down with me; the man came •and took Ann Fleck away; he said he wanted her to hold a gate open, as he had a few : sheep _coming out ;he took her with• him in his arms half-way down the ground; and then took her by the hand and made her walk ; they i.walked into the stalls on lir. Butler's grounds ; the stalls are to keep cows in ; they were a main bit in the stalls, and then I went down ; I went down to the stalls because they were so long; when I was by the road I could not see them in the stalls; I can not tell haw long they were in the stalls ; when I came to the stalls I looked through a hole : he (the prisoner) could not see mo. The witness then described what she saw. The child cried out ,and said she would tell her father; I had been there a minute or' two ; he asked the little child if she had pulled the knife out of_ hia pocket ; I did not see' any knife ; the matt asked the child Whether she would pull the knife out of his pocket; she said no; he said if she did -not,- 'he would cut her head off. The child came running-up-.to me and was crying all the way .;*. she looked back two or three times ; he got over the hedge alongside a ground; and went into the copse; she told me what lie had done to her ;- he.went away quick; ,he ran away ; I went to the field to the mother, and told her directly what had happened. The prisoner kneeled; and prayed for mercy. . The Jury 'returned a verdict of Gtilty: . The Junoi ppt on his black cap, and addressed him thus :-.- Henry Smith, notwithstanding the difficulties presented by the infancy of the child, and the requisition of the law, as to the proof necessary to your conviction; you have been found guilty, I believe, to the , satisfaction of -.every man who has heard this trial, of a most heinous offence, which discovers a brutality of mind which can only be accounted for by admitting that you have become so brutal in your nature, as to be unftt longer to live amongst mankind. The previous circumstances of your life show what a worthless. and abandoned man - you _ have become. At the Lent Assizes, only three years sinFei - you were convicted of an assault, with intent- to commit a rape, and sentenced to 19 months' imprisonment, whiCh you suffered. There has now been found against you a'nother' bill;' for =an attempt to commit a rape on another child of thirteen years - of' age ;= and I draw no inferences in Yaw 'favour from the bill: for the. capital - of fence "not Having be - en found. - I have seen thedepositions, and I have no doubt in my own - mind that that 'crime was also fully and effectually perpetrated.. I- grieve to say that I dare not recommend you to mercy:- Your time here is.very. short. Tbe.sentence of the law is, that you be taken from hence to prison, and thence to the place - of execution, where you are to be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and may God in Isis mercy have pity on your guilty, _guilty soul. . HORSE Srmaitwc.—Raymond Read and William Staples we,re indicted for having feloniously stolen a, dark brown gelding, the property of James Watts. • Read was indicted for another felony of the same 'description, to which he persisted in pleading " guilty," in spite of the earnest entreaty of the Judge to withdraw his plea, and take his trial. When called on for their defence, Raymond said that Staples applied to him to show out the horse; be was only acting for Staples. Staples denied any knowledge of the transaction. They were found Guilty. The JUDGE said, he would not decide to-day what to do with them, but he thought an example must be made of some, as horse stealing was become a regular trade.

The libel complained of ap peared on the Ist of April, 1826, and arose out of this transaction. The plaintiff was engaged by a person named Cunliffe, a school master in Bolton, in an action brought against him by Hasleden and Co., for the recovery of a small sum of money. Cunliffe not being able to settle the debt, Mr. Hampson paid it, but had after wards occasion to commence an action against him to.enfgrce its payment. In consequence of some alleged harshness in the course of these proceedings, Cunliffe wrote a letter to the Editor of the Bolton Express, which contained the libel for which the plaintiff now sought redress. In a communication with the defendant, he promised to insert a contradiction, but this having never appeared as promised, the plaintiff had no other, course left but that be adopted for the vindication of his character.. The Jury would give such damages as they thought the plaintiff entitled to. The proprietorship by the defendant being proved, the libel Was read : In the first count, Mr. BROUGHAM detected a variance in the record ; the word " punishable," being written " punished." This Mr. Scant Err admitted to be fatal. • The letter was again read, and a variance was found in the se cond count ; " extraordinary" being written " extraordinarily." Mr. Baron BULLOCK—That is " extraordinary" indeed.— (Laughter.) The letter was read a third time, and a variance was found on the fourth count, 44 costs out of pocket," being written " costs of pocket," a general burst of laughter followed this announce ment. Mr. Baron Hum.ocK suggested, that the withdrawing a juror would satisfy the justice of the case, and be creditable to the de fendant to consent to. Mr. BROUGHAM said, his client refused; but on, its being ex plained that the plaintiff might lay another action, he consented LENT ASSIZES. AYLESBURY,' MARCH 13. Ambrose Lester and John Lester were indicted for. an assault committed on George Ayling, on the night of the 19th of Deeem ber, 1825. The prisoner had been tried in an earlier part of these assizes, for entering a certain close belonging to the Duke of Bucking ham, with intent to destroy game, and for being afterwards found armed, in the night, in the same close. The latter is not a necessary allegation in such an indictment, and the proof that it was the same close not being sutciently strong, they were acquitted. Daniel Humphries was out on the watch for poachers on the night of the 19th of December, 1826, in a place called Welsh lane, about half a mile from Stowe-gardens : George Ayling, John Turpin, and James Beckett were with him. Ayling and Beckett were game-keepers to the Duke of Buckingham. - Between ten and eleven o'clock, they heard a hare ery out, as if in a snare, and went in the direction of the noise. They then heard a second cry, and saw some men near the hedge, on the opposite side of the road, and heard a dog pant ; the keepers took off their great coats, and got over the hedge into the road, on which the men ran away to a gap in the hedge, through which they got into the field.— Witness caught the last man, as he got through the gap : one of the men said, " Let that man go, you are not going to have him." A fight took place directly, and the other men came up, armed with bludgeons, and knocked, witness down ; he let the man go ; saw Ayling and Turpin lying on the ground, much beaten; Tur piu was cut across the head; the night was moonlight; the men • all got away. . • Mr. BLIGH made a very ingenious defence for the prisoners. Mr. Justice GASELEE charged the jury. This being the last trial, the Court waited some considerable time for the verdict, when the Foreman addressed the Judge, and said, he was sorry to say that they could not agree on the ver dict ; eleven of them were one way, and one was the other. Hie LORDSHIP had no power to relieve them ; if they could not come to a verdict in a short time, they must be locked up, and let him know when they were agreed. After a little while, the Foreman said, that one of them wished to have one of the witnesses recalled, as he did not think it proved that the men at the bar were present when the assault was com mitted. The witness was recalled, but nothing fresh was elicited. After a further delay, during which nothing was going on in Court, the Foreman of the Jury said, they were no nearer the mark than before. On this, the Judge said they must retire, and directed an officer to keep them without meat, drink, or fire, till they agreed on a verdict. _ . . . The Court then adjourned till eleven o'clock at night ; but the Jury had not then come to a decision ; however, a little before one o'clock, the Juryman who stood alone for an acquittal gave way, and a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners was returned. At eight o'clock this morning the prisoners were brought up, and the Judge came into Court to pass sentence on them. His LORDSHIP admonished the prisoners at some length, and observed that in one of the counties on the circuit there were no fewer than eleven persons to be tried for attacks on gamekeepers, for which, if convicted; they would probably have to suffer the dreadful punishment of death. .. Sentence—Three months' imprisonment, and to enter into re cognizances to be of good behaviour for two years, themselves is 401., and two sureties in 20/. each. Mr. Justice GASELEE immediately set out for Bedford. There have been near twenty prisoners tried at these Assizes more than ever were known in the county of Bucks before. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—SALISBURY, M ARC i i 14. (Before Mr. justice PAux.) Henry Smith was indicted on the capital charge for feloniously assaulting, &c. Ann Fleck, a female child. The child was in Court with her mother. Mr. BirroxAm, for the prosecution, shortly stated the leading features of the case. A bare recital of t he facts filled the m ind with horror. The unhappy object of the pris oner ' s brutal vio lence was not yet six years old ; her parents were wor king peo ple, and her mother was compelled, in order to provide for the wants of her family, to go early in the morninc , to the reap-field. She had intrusted her two children,, one of whom was five years and nine months old, the other an infant, to the care of a nurse girl, who was the principal witness in support of the indictment, ' with directions to take them to her to the field about nine o'clock. Accordingly the little party set out, and on the road they met the prisoner, who was accoMpanied by - a little boy, who would also be called as a witness. Under pretence that he wanted the little girl to keep open a gate for him whilst he let some sheep_pass, he decoyed her away, took her into a field, and then accomplished his brutal purpose. This he did without the slightest interruption; the witness Barrett, who would be first called, having see n what passed without being herself seen or making any noise. Mr. BINGHAM then called Sarah 8arrett,...412 July last I was IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS--MmtcH 16. CATHOLICS. • The LORD CHANCELLOR presented petitions, praying their Lordships not to grant any further concessions to the Catholics, from Horsham, Sussex ; from the Protestant Nobility and Gent►y of the County of Donegal; from the Ministers and Elders of the Presbyteriau Congregations in the same County ; and from.the Minister and Elders of the Presbyterian Congrega tion of South Shields. _ The Earl of•RODEN rose to observe, that certain words in the report in the Morning Chronicle of WednesdaY last, had been put into his month, which had never been uttered by Cm. Not only so, but that paper had afterwards commented on them. He never said that behind was a happy country, and he could not conceive it to be so as long as the people were deprived of education, and so much misery reigned amongst them. What he said was, that no country in the world enjoyed 'so mach reel He did not rise to found any motion on -it, hut to set himself right. He believed that their Lordships' speeches Were taken down, which was certainly contrary to their rules ; but, at any rate, they ought to be taken down correctly. ' The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented a Petition from' the Clergy of his Diocese, against granting any fur ther concessions to the Catholics. _ _ _ Similar petitions were presented by the Bishop of Durham from the Clergy of his Diocese ; by the Earl of Enniskillen, from the Protestant Inhabitants - of several Parishes in Tyrone ; by the Bishop of Salisbury, from the Archdeacon and Clergy of Sarum ; by the Duke of Newcastle, from the Inhabitants of the Town of Nottingham. His GRACE observed, -on presenting it, that the petition was numerously and respectably signed, _ and would have been much more so, had it not been for the recent debate in another place. He had presented another petition a few days ago on the same sub ject from Newark ; and he could state, that an indisposition-g-he could alnioit say an intense bnstility—existed among the people in the - county where he resided, to the measure against which the petition was directed. Popery was distasteful, and even odious, in the Cotmty of Nottingbaiii. Earl Fl TZWILLIAM presented several petitions, praying for relief, .from the Catholics of the County of Wicklow, and of different Parishes in Wexford. Lord Viscount CLIFDEN presented two similar petitions from parishes in Wexford. NAVIGATION LAWS. -- • ------__. _ The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a petition from the Shipowners of the County of Durbam, com plaining of the decay of the Shipping Interest, and Praying their Lordships to Revise the Navigation Laws. - - The . NOBLE MARQUIS and Earl STAN HOPE briefly supported the prayer of the petition. Lord TEYNHAM said, in the present state of the Shipping, if the Alteration of the Corn Laws were to be made, the coasting trade of the country would be ruined. Lord REDESDALE objected to entering into discussions on presenting petitions, particularly before the hour of five o'clock. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY thought, that, in presenting important petitions, he was not out of order in accompanying the presentation by some observations. He was not aware that their Lordships had made any rule not to enter into discussions before five o'clock. Lord REDESDALE said, it was better that their Lordships should not begin business before five o'clock. Earl STANHOPE defended their Lordships' right to make any observations they pleased on presenting petitions. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it quite right that their Lordships might make some observations on pre senting petitions ; but their observations might lead to others ; and, when this was the case, it was better not to make such obser vations before five o'clock. CORN LAWS. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a petition from Belfast against any Alteration in the Corn Laws. The Noble Marquess stated that he thought this was not the time, when the country was labouring under such heavy burdens, to try experiments on its trade. Earl ROSEBERRY presented a petition from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in a Hundred in Norfolk, praying for protection, but not praying that there should be no alteration in the Corn Laws. Earl DARNLEY presented a similar petition from the Owners and Occupiers of Lard in the neighbourhood of Ash ford, Kent. Lord TEYNHAM presented a similar petition from the Hundred of Shropham, in Norfolk. EXPENCE OF PRIVATE BILLS. _ The Marquis of LANSDOWN called their Lordships' attention to two petitions which he had to present from the Trustees of Turnpike Roads, one of which complained of the expence of passing Road Bills through Parliament, and praying their Lordships to devise means to lessen the expence. His Lord. ship thought this was a most desirable object to accomplish. The other petition referred to erecting private buildings in the imme diate vicinity of roads, which very often had to be pulled down at the expence of the trustees. He thought it would be advisable were their Lordships to take into their consideration the propriety of introducing some measure to prevent persons erecting private buildings too near turnpike roads. If such a regulation were not carried too far, it would be of great service. His Lordship then presented the first petition. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said, from his situation, he had had many opportunities of knowing that the expense of passing Road Bills was a great injury to the roads. In particular he objected to the charge being as much for the renewal of a Turnpike Act as for passing a new one. Lord REDESDALE said, the fees of Parlia ment were now the same as they were in the year 1792 ; but since that time the expence of passing such Acts had much in. creased. The Acts were now. much longer than formerly, which, their Lordships knew, added to the expence; and the parties employed a Parliamentary Agent, which also increased the expence. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said a few words in ex- planation. The Marquis of LANSDOWN then presented a petition from the Trustees of the Frome Turnpike-road, praying that some Restriction might be laid on Erecting Private Buildings near Turnpike-roads. Lord REDESDALE said a few words also on this 'pet ition. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition from the Ship-owners of Liverpool, praying for a reduction of the Duty on Timber; a Reduction of the Dues to which ships were subject ; and that their Lordships would Revise the Navi gation Laws. His Lordship said, he bad formerly opposed the Alterations which were made in our Navigation Laws; and what had since happened had convinced him his opposition was correct. The present state of the Navigation Laws was full of danger to our commercial Marine, and threatened it with annihilation. He thought some alteration ought to be made.-- Adjourned.
