PEOPLE of ENGLAND. —My Lord Liverpool has lost the use of his faculties, and Mr. .inning his life, from improper treatment, by bleeding, apical applications, and narcotics, when they should have en simply briskly purged by the innocent VEGE ABLE PURGATIVES. The world needs to be in 'ruled, that: the Vegetable Purgatives are the only sure ul true way of subduing all inflammations.

ARNOTT'S ELEMENTS OF PHYSICS.—London, 1827. pp. 604. We have been much amused with the varied scientific knowledge displayed in this elaborate treatise, as also with the manner in which the knowledge is put forward. It is one thing to im part information, and another to impart it with entertainment. Most writers, without any very extraordinary reach of intellect, can do the one, but it falls to the lot of the gifted few to be ena bled to effect the other. The author of the pre sent Treatise is one of these few, consequently his book appeals to two wide classes of the coin those who read for instruction, munity, namely,' and those who read for mere amusement. On looking into details we find that Dr. Arnott has embraced the whole extended circle of ifatural philosophy, or, as he characteristically de signates it, " the phenomena of nature," most of which, he adds, may be explained by four gene ral truths, " atom, attraction, repulsion, inertia." He then proceeds to classify the most important facts of nature and art, so as to explain them mi nutely by these four general truths, and enable them to be mutually illustrative of each other. This is manifestly a judicious method of arrange ment ; it is, in fact, setting up landmarks to guide those who, in wandering over the extensive, and in some' instances, trackless plains of philosophy, may be apt to flounder on from error to error, and finally to lose their way. In that portion of his work entitled " Medical Mechanics," the Doctor has advanced many curious opinions ; it is, in fact, the most momentous chapter in the whole volume, and seems to have been treated with corresponding attention. The description of the spine and its peculiar properties (in the course of which some smart hits are thrown out against the modern fashion of rearing females), of the nature and strength of the cranium and its mode of gradual developement, of the conformation of the human body in general, and of its muscular action in particular—these several points, we repeat, are so elaborately, so minutely, and so lucidly treated, that 'they must please the most finished ignoramus. The next important chapter is, perhaps, " Hydrostatics," but as Cambridge has already sufficiently disgusted us with this, we shall do no more than state, on the authority of a learned mathematician and friend, that it con tains some novel theories, supported with skilful and scientific ingenuity. It is difficult, indeed, almost impossible, to make an adequately illustra tive extract from a book of this comprehensive and miscellaneous character ; science is not con veyed in an epigrammatic fashion—a new truth, or an amendment of a received opinion, cannot be advanced and supported within the narrow limits of a page (to which the nature of our pub lication would unavoidably confine us), we must content ourselves, therefore, with asserting in general terms that the present treatise is worthy of an extended circulation. EARLY PROSE ROMANCES. LIFE OF VTR GILIUS.—LoNnoN, 1827. In the dark ages, when ignorance was as uni versal as education at the present day—when the classical fancy and the learning of a former more auspicious period were confined either to the monasteries of the monks, or the libraries of the enlightened few—a man who surpassed the ma jority of his brethren in mind, was sure to be looked on' as a conjuror—as a nondescript with whom it would be unsafe to deal froin his unce remonious intimacy with the devil. Such was the case with Horace, Tacitus, Faustus, Friar Bacon, and, above all, with the .subject of -the present legend, the amiable; accomplished, and sensitive Virgil. How this last, of all others, came to be considered as a conjuror, it is impos sible even to conjecture, unless indeed the nature and tendency of his celebrated sixth book (in accessible to the vulgar) entitled him to Satanic canonization. It is, however, a fact, that he was not merely reputed a conjuror, hut the very prince and paragon of all conjurors - , he could raise the wind, (an invention not unknown to Mr. John Wilks, jun.) arrest the progress of the moon, dry up seas, annihilate kingdoms, sink continents ; and, in short, indulge to the full in those . peculiarly eccentric vagaries which so eminently distinguished the Marquis of Lon donderry's late Parliamentary campaign. W e scarcely think, however, with all his supernatural abilities, that were he living at the present day, he could manufacture a Demosthenes out of Sir Thomas L e thb r idge. The p resen t cur i ous little work professes to be titled a republication of an old legend, en " The Lyfe of Virgilius, which treateth nygramancve ti also of his deth, and many marvayles that He 11 0. .?

It sets out, agreeably to the good old fashion, with a bio graphical memoir of Romulus, and then, with a celerity only to be equalled by the owner of the seven-leagued boots, leaps at once to Vir g ili us, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1827. who, it seems, was the son of an honest lady. at Rome, and signalised himself at the precoetous age of ten years, by pulling the devil head fore most out of a stone bottle. Moreover, he founded the town of Naples, married a Sultan's daughter (a slight . and edifying anachronism), and died, like the late Charles James Fox, of an inveterate dropsy ; on which the writer adds, " thus Virgilius dyed, and then was the EMperour eerie bevy for his death ; and thus God gyve us grace, that we may be in the booke of euer lastinge blysse. How the " deth of Virgilius" is to accomplish the reader's " everlastinge blysse," it is next to impossible to conceive ; the remark, however, is one of those singular non-sequiturs in - which the logicians of the ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries abound. In perusing this pleasant piece of absurdity, a very 'natural idea has been elicited by it. The vicissitudes of nations are, we all know, as sur prising as they are unforeseen. The world has been once enlightened,—it has again become ob scured,; the great men of one age have been the sorcerers and demons of another; and, should a similar change occur with respect to England, would its present illuminati, we ask its Dawsons, Lethbridges, and still more its Londonderrys, men who adorn and precede the times in which they flourish,—would such men, we repeat, be, in the event of another dark era, considered, like Virgilius, as conjurors ? Let our readers answer for themselves. CONSUMPTION. AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. We are happy to congratulate the public, and particularly those who are afflicted with con sumption (the most fatal malady incident to our climate), upon a simple means, of recovery, which has been discovered by a gentleman resi dent at No. 17, Howland -street, Fitzroy-square. However meritorious and miraculous this dis covery may appear, the public will more readily believe its efficacy when informed that the mode of treatment is wholly• unconnected with the usual system of medical practice. How the cures are, effected is unknown to us, but we are assured it is not by the aid of medicine.—The following is one, among many other cases, which, for the satisfaction of our readers,' we have selected from a recent testimonial-of a'Me dical Gentleman. The original, together with references to the parties, may be seen on appli cation to J. L. Esq., No. 17, Howland-street, Fitzroy-square. To J. L. Esq., 17, Howland-street. " Miss 8., of was visited by me on the 9th July, 1827, for Mr. J. L. I found her labouring under great difficulty of breathing, with a short cough, of the hectic character, and the expectoration to have all the appearance of pus ; the pulse was 130 in a minute, and she seemed evidently afflicted with phthisis. She says she was first at tacked in November last, and had a professional gentleman to attend her, who bled and blistered her, accompanying it with the usual modes of treatment for inflammation of the chest. She had also the assistance of two other medical gentlemen of the first eminence, but without effect, as I found her expectorating very much, having all the usual appearance of a diseased state of lungs. She says also that she has a constant perspiration when she sleeps, and a pain in the left side, affecting her extremely on every inspiration, and that the before-mentioned professional gentlemen, aban doned her case as hopeless. It is my opinion that she is advanced far into the last stage of confirmed consumption." From the same Medical Authority, dated Aug. 6, 1827 " I have this day visited Miss B. again for J. L. Esq., and am astonished to find her so greaoy improved; the expectoration has ceased, and she has evidently a very dif ferent appearance of countenance from that which I ob served on my former visit ; she had then the pure hectic character, and was expectorating in great abundance, • and appeared to me to be in the last stage of consumption. I certainly expected to see her still further advanced to that dreadful malady, with all the symptoms aggravated, and much thinner in countenance; but, to my amazement, • I find the reverse to be the case, and must confess that Miss B. appears to me to he nearly, if not quite well. " " N.B. I am totally ignorant of the means pursued by Mr. L. to effect his cures." IMPUTED AUTHORSHIP—HORACE SMITH. (c I met (said a gentleman to the writer, in a literary conversation), a celebrated author, lately one of the writers of Rejected Addresses,' with whom I had a great, deal of chat : he told me, amongst other things, that on looking over Michael Kelly's ' Reminiscences,' he saw men tioned. a certain farce, with a statement that it was written by Horace Smith (himself) and damned on the first night of representation. Not having the slightest recollection of being its author, he called on Kelly and told him so. You forget, Sir, you forget,' cried the veteran, bluntly, you are the author of that Farce.' Indeed, indeed,' replied Mr. Smith, lam not; you labour under some mistake.' Mistake ? mistake ? a mistake, indeed ! and in my book, too ! a mistake when my memory is so unfailingly clear : Sir, the mistake must be in your recollec tion, not mine. Mr. S. argued the point long and vainly ; at length his opponent repeating one verse of a song, asked if he did not re member that, and acnowledge it to be his own ? Mr. Smith immediately recollected that he had been requested to write that song for a Farce by Miss —, which proved unsuccessful, and ex plained to Kelly how the imputation of author ship in this case, thus par hazard rested upon him; at the same time entreating him to. correct this mistake. I shan't,' said honest Mike, you know very well that you are the author of that Farce, and so it shall remain.' "—New Li terary Gazette. DR. WOODVILL E.—The carpenter with whom he lodged had not been always on the best terms with him. Woodville said he should wish to let the man see that he died in peace with him, and as he never had much occasion to employ him, desired he might be sent for to come and measure him for his coffin. This was done ; the carpenter came and took measure of the Doctor, who begged him not to be more than two days about it : For, said he, I shall not live beyond that time and he did actually die just before the end of the next day. He, got ,between one and two thousand pounds by his Medical,. Botany, and with the money bought a small estate, whiCh he left to his natural daughter, being all the property he possessed. A contemporary and friend of his, Dr. George Fordyce, also expired under similar circumstances. He desired his youngest daughter, who was sitting by hi s bed side, to take up a book, and read t o hun. She' read for about twenty minutes, when the Doctor said, Stop, go out of the room ; lam o cioing to die. She put down the book, and went out of the room to call the attendant, who imme diately went into the bed-roorn, and found For dyce had breathed his last."—ifradd's Memoirs. SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.-MAIDSTONE, AuG. 24. Charles Linikie was indicted for assaulting_ Benjamin Cole on the King's highway, at Green wich, in the month of June last, and forcibly taking from his person a gold watch, chain, and seals. It appeared that Mr. Cole, who is an extremely active constable in Deptford and its vicinity, was, on the day in question, on duty at Greenwich Fair, when he was suddenly accosted by the prisoner, who asked him how he did; and at the same time made a snatch at hiS watch chain. Cole secured his watch chain with his hand, and believing he was too well known to be the subject of a robbery, at such a time and place, treated the matter as a joke, and turned away, saying, " No, no, I shall want this," meaning his watch, "by and bye." The mo ment he :had turned his head, however, he heard a loud cry of " Stoll, Stoll," which means, help, help, and he was immediately surrounded by between thirty and forty men, all armed witli — sticks, who commenced a most furious attack upon him. His hat, which was new and strong, was quickly . beaten to pieces, and knocked off his head, and be received a number of severe blows both upon his head and body, tinder which he at length sunk upon the ground, almost in a state of insensibility. In the course of this attack he felt his watch, &c., dragged from his fob with great violence, and the prisoner being the person nearest to him at that moment, and having no stick, he suspected him to be the thief, and had sufficient presence of mind to seize him by the collar, and he fortunately succeeded in keeping hold of him throughout the whole transaction.. Upon searching the prisoner, Cole's watch was found upon him much bruised and battered, and separated from the chain and seals; and the chain was also found upon kiln, but in a state which made it at first difficult to be recognized, it being pounded nearly into a solid mass of metal. The prisoner"offered no defence, and the Jury found him " Guilty." The Learned JUDGE immediately proceeded to pass upon the priSoner the awful sentence of death, assuring him that* was utterly impossible that any mercy could be extended to him, and solemnly ex horting him to lose no time in making his pease with his offended Creator. THE MAYOR OF QUEENBOROUGH V. SKEY. This was an action of debt, brought by the Cor poration of Queeftborough against one of the inha bitants of that borough, to recover certain penalties imposed . by the bye-laws of the Corporation, and alleged to have been incurred by the defendant,. by means of taking oysters, from the - fisheries of the Corporation, at illegal hourg, and in prohibited modes. The case excited an intense local interest, but the detail of the evidence would be wholly uninteresting to, the 'public at large. The trial commenced on Wednesday, morning at nine o'clock, and terminated this evening (Friday), at eleven o'clock, when the Jury returned a verdict ,for the defendant. MIDLAND CIRCITIT.—WARWICK, Aua. 24. William Miller, aged 35, was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Ann Lane otherwise, Mary Ann Greenway, on the 28th of May last, in the parish of Harbury, in this , county. He was also arraigned upon the Coroner's inquisition. Mr. Sergeant ADAM briefly stated the outline of the case to the Jury. The deceased was a married woman, residing at Bishop's Itchingi t ion, in this county. The prisoner was a labourer, living at" Harbury. On the evening of the 26th of May last, Mr. Heath, a farmer, residing at Harbury-fields, gave an entertainment to his servantS, in consequence of the christening of his child. MAry Ann Lane, who had been a wet-nurse in his family, was invited, and the prisoner, who was' one of Mr. Heath's labourers, was also there. After the entertainment was over, Lane left the party, and went towards Itchington. The prisoner went after her, and was seen to over take her. At eight o'clock the next morning, as two men, of the name of 'Pratt, were going over. Harbury-heath, they saw an umbrella in a small pond that was there, and afterwards something black, which turned out to be the body of the de ceased. It was diScovered under such circumstances; and with such marks upon it ,as the Jury would hear from the witnesses. The prisoner bade no attempt to escape, but came to the spot and assisted in re moving the body. He having been the last person, however, who had been seen with the deceased,l suspicion fell upon him, and he was taken into cus tody. , There were footmarks and other indications observed about the pond, which strengthened that suspicion ; and conversations with the prisoner had afterwards taken place which would be detailed to the Jury. 'When they should hear the expressions which he had used, and the other circumstances of the case from the witnesses, it would then be their painful duty to determine on the prisoner's life or death, as justice would demand. John Heatli—l live at Harbtiry-field. I had a christening on the 22d of May, and gave au enter tainment to my servants on Saturday, the 26th. I went to the pond in the Poor's-pleck the next morn ing, in consequence of what I heard. At that time the body was on the bier. The prisoner was stand ing beside it. The body . was taken to the New Inn, at Harbury. The prisoner assisted in carrying it. I followed the body. It was put in an out house at the New Inn. I got to the pond at about half -past eleven in the forenoon. When the pri soner had set the body down in the out-house, I called him out. I likewise called Sprawson, th e headborough, at the same time. I said, " Spraw son, you'll take this man into your custody." said, " William, I feel justified in doing this; you being the . last person seen with this poor woman." I said that to the prisoner. Upon that, Sprawson, the prisoner, and I went into the house. I held out no inducement or. threats to the. prisoner to induce himE x to an s l a i 1 3' u:t a t inoyn t i h n i ng. resumed.—l said, " You know, William, you met this woman last night at the gate leading into my field at the top of the Warwick road." He made no answer, and I added, " through the bridle gate into the Wind-mill-hill." He said, " Yes, I did." I said, " Andkept the hedge side d own to t h e l o d ge -ground stile ?" He said, " Yes, I did." I then asked him " How far might you hav e walked with her ?" He said " to Harbury-heath." I sa id, " The Poor's-pleck,where the body was found ?" The Poor's-pleck is part of Harbury-heath. He said, " No, the wheel wright's." I then said, " Which way might you come home ?'! He answered, " Across the field s .by the foot road." I was present at the inquest. What the prisoner then said was taken down in writing. Sprawson was present when the prisoner and I had the conversation at the New Inn. Spraw son asked him if he met any one as he came home ? Ho said, " No." Sprawson said, " Did you see any one as you came into the village ?" The pri soner replied, " I did not see any one." I then left the New Inn with Sprawson, and we went to the prisoner's house; I there saw the prisoner's wife. She, in consequence of what passed between her and me, took a pair of small-clothes out of a tub. Spraw son took possession of them. • &returned to the pri soner. I had seen the prisoner on the Saturday in my field. When I returned back to the prisoner I said, " Where are the shoes you had on yesterday when you came to me in the field?" He said, " They are in the kiln mouth." I said, " Then you changed your shoes before you came down to my house." He said, Yes." I said, " The shoes you have on are the shoes you had on yesterday when you came to my house to dinner." He said, " Yes. ' I then said, " Take them off." He took them off, and Sprawson took them up. Sprawson and I went together to the pond, and compared these shoes with the foot-marks about it. They exactly fitted the impressions in the ditch, which were within a foot and half of the pond. The nails in the heel of the right, and in the sole of the left, exactly corresponded with the nail marks in the ditch. The shoes were very wet when• we took them from the prisoner, and his stocking feet were wet also from the wetness of the shoes. The small-clothes were in water in the tub when the pri soner's wife gave them to me. On Tuesday, the 29th of May, I went to the prisoner by his desire. he was then in a room at ,the New Inn, in custody. It was in the morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock. I had some conversation with him about his family; and I said, " William, bow came you to do such a thing ?" I had used no threat or promise. He replied, " I don't know how I did it." I said, " Did she resist you ?" - Ile answered, " I don't re collect any thing about it." I. asked, " What might become of the bonnet ?" He said, I don't recollect her having one on." I asked," What might become of the sun-dial," which was a small dial she had in her pocket. He said, " I don't recollect such a thing." 'When I •vas at the pond, the prisoner was there, and did not go near the ditch. Sprawson was there when I came. Cross-examined.—When I came the prisoner was at the Poor's-pleck, and not in custody. There was nothing to prevent him from walking about where he pleased. The first time I saw his shoes that day they were apparently not wet on the outside ; but when I took-them off they were wet within. Thomas Sprawson.—l am headborouglt of Har bury. I remember on the morning of the 27th of May, being sent for to a pond in the Poor's-pleck. I ordered some men to come down after me with a bier; the prisoner was one of them. They came after me. I desired the prisoner to attend to help to convey the corpse to Harbury. I got there first. It was about half-past nine when I got there. The prisoner came in about ten minutes after me. I did not re main all the time with the prisoner. I remember Mr. Heath coming.. I think I left the pond before Miller. From the time that Miller came to the pond, until Heath came, he never went to the ditch that I saw. I think he could not go near the ditch with out,my seeing it. Before the prisoner came, I had observed the 'foot marks in the ditch. I observed Mr. Heath compare the foot marks with the shoes. Those were the foot-marks which I had seen in the ditch before the prisoner came. I have no doubt that those foot-marks had been made by those shoes. I also.compared some breeches with an im pression on the clay. I had got those breeches from a tub in the prisoner's house. They exactly corre sponded with the mark in the clay, in the ditch to wards the pond. I now produce the breeches and the clay. The impression was about half a yard from the foot-marks. The piece of clay is in the same condition as when I compared it. It was damp then, but is try now. (The breeches and clay were here handed to the jury. The corded grain of the breeches just fitted the impression on the clay.) The shoes I now produce are in the same state as they were when I got them, only they are now-dry, and were then very damp.. I have had. them in my pos session ever since. (These were also shown to the jury.) The clothes of the deceased were delivered to me by Linnell the innkeeper. .Cross-examined.—This sort of Jordnroy breeches is very common wear in the country. It was about half-past nine when I first observed the foot-marks. It was about two o'clock in the day when the shoes were compared with certain foot-marks. Re-exaMined.—The foot-marks were in the ditch before the prisoner came that morning. Richard Smith.—l am one of the turnkeys of this gaol ; I bad known the prisoner very well before he came to prison; I did - not then know that I knew Mary Ann Lane but afterwards found out that I had known her. I had some conversation with the prisoner on the day he came to prison ; I held out neither threats nor promises to him : I said " Mil ler, these are bad things that are charged against you; what could induce you to do them ?" He said, " The drink was the instigation of it." I said, " Miller, you never could throw her into the pit, you must have lain together on the bank, and rolled in." He said, " No, I don't think we did; I think I threw her in." I again asked him if he had net, lain on the bank ? He answered, " I think I threw her in ; lam almost sure I threw her in."- I asked him if he had taken-her round the middle, and car ried her backwards into the pit ? He said, " I don't think I did; I am almost certain I threw`her in." I said, " How deep were you in the pit ?" He said, " Up to here" (pointing nearly to his arm pits). I said, " I understand she was robbed. Do you know any thing at all about her money ?" He said, " NO, I know nothing about her money." I asked him what time he got to Harbury ? He said he could not tell the time; he thought it was be tween nine and ten o'clock. I said Miller, you could not be so drunk as you say you were, else you could not remember nil these things." Cross-examined.—The prisoner did not say how the poor woman came by her death, more than that he thought he threw her-in. I did not ask him how throwing a woman into a shallow pit could pro duce her death. . Richard Bullock.—l am a prisoner in Warwick gaol, on a charge of felony. I bad a conversation with the prisoner the day after he was brought in.— After all the men were left in the hall, I and James Mucklow were left in it to clean it; anti Miller was a l so l e f t i n . Miller was crying. After we had done cleaning the hall, I went and sat by him. I asked bim, " How did you come to do it ?" He said, my master had a christening , and gave us some drink. 'After we broke up, the young woman went out of the house, and soon after I followed her. I overtook her in the lane, 'and - as we were going across the fields I wanted to have concerns with her ; but she said no, .1 should not. With that I caught hold on her, and threw her down. When 1 threw her d own , she began to hoot and make a noise. I put my hand upon her neck, to prevent her from hooting, and scratched it, and she fainted away. I was frightened, and took her up, carried her down to the pit, and threw her into it. I tumbled down on 'my knees, and went upon my side. She cam e to herself, and came to the edge of the pit, and tried to get out. 1 threw her in again. When I was throwing her in, she catched hold of me and pulled me in. I was up to about my middle in the water. I held her under the water until she was dead. I came out of the pit, and was very much frightened. That was the case for the prosecution. Mr. HILL then submitted that the evidence did not support the averments in the declaration ; the first of which was, that the prisoner had caused the death of tile deceased by throwing her into the pond, whereas the ' evidence was, that he had kept he, under water until she was dead. Mr. Justice HOLROyn said it was sufficient to state the mode of death, which was here alleged t o be by drowning. Mr. 114. A. next objected to the name of the parish. It was proved to be either Herberbury or Harb ur y, only one ,Justiceof which o L m ß u o s y t e wa t s h e oftrueo pni opinion n that the . Mr. name of the parish was sufficiently described. Mr. HILL, had felt it his duty to urge every objet The Jury 'returned a verdict of" Guilty." His LORDSHIP then pronounced the dreadful sen tence of the law upon him, which was, that he be hanged on Monday, and his body be anatomised. The prisoner is a very decent and rather a mild looking man. He wept at hearing the verdict and sentence, but did not display violent feelings. Richard Bullock, the witness in the above case, whose trial had been postponed to allow him to give his testimony against Miller, was then put to the bar, charged with having feloniously stolen some female wearing apparel and other articles, value 51., the property of Joseph Mathews. • -The Jury returned a .verdict of " Not Guilty." This terminated the business of this circuit, which was unusually heavy.. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--HEREFORD, Aua. 23. NEWPORT V. ROLLIN& This was an action .of tro` over t brought by the plaintiff; a coachmalcer at Worcester, to recover from the defendant, an ironmonger at Ledbury, in this county, a post-chaise, value 10/., which he had wrongfully converted to his use. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 101. We are happy to observe that Mr. Baron Vaughan, who in the early part of the week seemed to suffer from the fatigues of his arduous duties at Shrews bury, and the effects of his accident, appears now much better. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—BRIDGEWATER, Ana. 24. BAKER. AND MARY ANN, HIS WIFE V. SPURINO. This action was to recover the sum of 201. as Money lent and advanced, and a further sum for work and labour. Baker was a lime-burner, and the defendant a butcher. It was stated that the female plaintiff had been a servant of the defendant, who, using the influence and advantage given him by their relative situations, had succeeded in seducing her; but as he had done this under repeated' promises of marriage, which he had never performed, she at last quitted his service, and claimed from him wages at the rate of 101. per annum, and a sum of 204 as the balance of an advance she had made to him just about the time she entered into his service. Witnesses were called to prove this case on admissions made by the defendant in the course of conversations with them. The Jury at once found a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages Twenty Pounds. • DICKINSON V. A. J. VALPY. Mr.'Sergeant WILDE (with whom were Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS and Mr. CARTER) stated that this was an action on a bill of exchange for 3001. given by one of those numerous partnerships that had sprung up in the course of the year 1825.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Three Hundred Pounds. Abraham Whittaker . and Isaac Jenkins were in-. dieted for a burglary in the house of. a v:ctualler, of Bath, from whose evidence it appeared, that they had not only stolen a till full of halfpence, but had. also gone off with the sample bottles, containing spirits, which were in the shop window. The pri soners' were found drinking the contents of. these bottles, one of which they had thrown into a gentle man's garden.—The Jury found them " Guilty." William Miles was indicted for a burglary in the house of a widow lady, residing at Bath. The' prosecutrix lodged in the house of a person who was the uncle of the prisoner, and who sometimes em ployed him to work in the garden. On the night of the burglary the maid -servant heard a noise in the house, and on coming out of her room saw the prisoner, and the prosecutrix herself also thought she overheard his voice on the stairs.—The Jury in stantly acquitted the prisoner. Moses Gay, an elderly man, was indicted for having stolen several spoons from the house of Col. Giegory Jackson, at Bath Wick. The prisoner was married and had a family. The Jury found him Guilty." The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that he had the greatest difficulty in determining in what man ner:he should dispose of the prisoner. On the one hand, he was determined to put a stop to this system of burglaries, which prevailed to so great an extent in Bath; while, on the other hand, he was anxious to attain that object at as little expence as possible of human life. He wished only to afford a strong warning to deliberate offenders. It did not appear in this case that the prisoner had gone so far as to corrupt the mind of the female servant, and to induce her to betray the interests entrusted to her ' and he. might therefore hope to be recommended to his Ka jesty's mercy; but he must beyond all doubt prepare . to be sent out of the country for life. He was a mars vied man, and his attempt to insinuate himself into the affections of a silly young woman, characterised him as a profligate criminal, who would probably have accomplished her seduction if another base pas sion—that of, the desire of plunder—had not ob tained a greater influence in his mind. If the lenity which was thus shewn to thii prisoner should be found to operate as an encouragement to this sort of offences, he (the Chief Justice) should most deeply regret his having extended it; and he wished it to be publicly known, that if it did appear to be pro ductive of such a consequence, he would, most as suredly, at the next Assizes, leave for execution all those criminals convicted of effecting these robberies through the agency of servants. The prisoner,whose life would be spared, must at once prepare to leave the country. The prisoner here declared that he had never stolen this property, but that it was given to him by the young woman. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, if he could bring his mind to believe that the prisoner's decla ration was true, he would most assuredly leave the prisoner for execution; for it would then be mani fest that he had succeeded in corrupting the young woman's mind, and in inducing her to commit a robbery on her mistress for the purpose of his ad vantage. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. William Bradford was indicted for an assault committed by him upon J. Neva, one of the barge men plying on the River Parrett, which runs through this town. The assault complained of was that of throwing him out of a barge into the river, by which he caught cold, and was confined at home several days.--.-The Jury found the defendant Guilty. Two boys were convicted of a burglary, and amongst the witnesses produced against them was an old woman, who stated that she had soldthens some small matches, bat suspected at the time that these matches were not intended for any good pur pose. The Lows CHIEF JUSTICE asked her, if such was her opinion, why had she sold the matches 2 To which she answered, because she thought it was to be. After this question and answer had been re peated, she was asked whether she meant that she conceived that destiny had ordained that these boys should rob the 110002 To which she replied in the affirmative, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE could not refrain from This was expressing, in the strongest terms, his abhorrence . of a a opinionnmos most s mischievousabsurd sortd g h o h r e r r i d the superstition ex pe expenses es re T f h us is in bered in onesparticular 'instance at Exeter, to have led a man, who believed in it, to the commission of a crime, to which he had been persuadefl lie was or dained, and for which the offended laWs of his coun s:;blesasepthweriochus.he remem deserved to be publicly . denounced, and he should do what he could to put it down, by inflicting on this, old woman the only punishment to which he could . site had incurred in attending to give evidence.
