Robert Simpson, the Master of the " Harriet" trading ves sel, was placed at the bar on an indictment, charging him with the wilful murder of Daniel Williams, a lad 13 years of age, by flogging him with a rope, exposing him to the inclemency of the weather, anti throwing him into - the sea during the time the vessel lay off the Banks of Newfoundland. There was no Counsel for the prosecution. Messrs. ALLEY and PLATT were on the pirt of the prisoner. Joseph Digging, the first witness, was a seaman on board the " Harriet," the prisoner was captain, and the deceased was cabin-boy. On the 15.1 i Nov. last, in the afternoon, while the vessel lay offVewfoundland, the prisoner desired the deceased to pick some oakum, and yarn was given to him for that pur pose. Shortly afterwards the prisoner accused the boy of hav ing thrown some of the yarn overboard. The deceased made no reply to this accusation, and the prisoner beat him severely with a boat-hook, and also with a rope from the leach of the trysail—the blows were given on all parts of the body. In the evening the deceased went below to take his clothes off, and while he was stripped, a large black mark was apparent on his left thigh. After changing his apparel, the boy went to the deck. The prisoner called him, but he made no answer. The deceased, at ten o'clock the same night, was standing on a chest on the weather-quarter, with his face to windward. The prisoner was on deck during the time, anti having ordered the second mate to keep him standing there, he went below ; when the prisoner was gone, the deceased attempted to get or, but he was forced back by the second mate. The prisoner aftewards came on deck, and inquired if Taffy, meaning the deceaSed, had been rebelling? The second mate said that he could not keep him up, and the prisoner seized a top-gallant stay-sail tack, and beat the boy with it very severely; and as the latter held up his arms to ward ofFthe blows, he fell °lithe chest. IVlien he got on the chest, the prisoner struck him "agliin repeatedly ; he put up his arm as before, and when he dropped it the prisoner said, " I was determined to make him drop his arm, or break it." The prisoner then directed the second mate to tell the chief mate to keep the boy on the chest during the watch, from twelve to four. The Second Mate told the prisoner, that the boy had stolen some of the men's tobacco. The prisoner then went below. At six o'clock in the morning the boy was standing against the weather rail ; he trembled, and appeared so weak as to be unable to stand. The prisoner came on deck at 8 o'clock, and beat the boy with some of the running rigging, and then ordered him to go forward. The deceased scrambed on deck, and took hold of the boom brace. The man at the helm said to the boy, " Come away, or you will go overboard," but the boy paid no attention to what he said. The witness, seeing his danger, with some dif f iculty pulled him away, and then went below. The deceased was afterwards sitting by the ,lalleY fire; the witness went to bed, and the boy was handed down the scuttle; the helmsman got breakfast, and offered the boy some, but he either would not or could not swallow; the cook after wards made some tea, but the boy could not drink it. In about half an hour the boy was sent for by the prisoner, and handed out of the forecastle ; he was unable to walk at that time without assistance. The witness afterwards saw the boy in the Captain's gangway; when the Captain came up he struck him on the right side of the head with his hand, and ordered him to go instantly to the cabin. About half-past two o'clock the same day the witness was sent below to look at the boy, and he found him dead. He saw no more of him till eleven o'clock the following day, when he was directed to go down, with others of the crew, to sew up the deceased in a sheet. On pulling off the boy's trowsers, witness observed a black mark on his thigh, and two others on the belly ; the body was then sewn up in a sheet, and carried on deck ; prayers being read, the corpse was thrown overboard ; the night the boy was exposed on the chest was very cold and sleety. Cross-examined by Mr. A LLEY.—Witness had been accused on the 10th of November last of stealing rum; he did not to his knowledge beat the boy with a rope's end on the clay he died ;he slapped him with his open hand to make-him let go ; he did not throw the boy clown upon the spars, and say " Go there; I have no pity for you ;" the boy was very filthy with vermin, he had no hammock, and none of the crew would suf fer him to sleep with him, or come near their clothes. John Davies, a seaman on board the vessel during the voy age, corroborated the leading points of the evidence of the above witness. He also stated that the boy had some burgoo for his breakfast the morning of the day he died, and ate a pint of it. About one o'clock on the same day the boy crawled on deck on his hands and knees, anti appeared to be speechless. When the boy was dead, the captain said, " the galley fire had suf focated him." In cross-examination, the witness said that he had had no dis pute with the Captain ; he never challenged him to tight. The deceased slept amongst wet timber; he was driven there by the crew.—Nicholas Foote, another seaman, said, that on the night of the 15th November, there was neither snow or sleet. It was a foggy night, and not severely cold. The prisoner was a humane man. —T. Oliver, the chief mate of the vessel, said the boy was very indolent, and extremely filthy; he saw the prisoner,flog him ; the punishment was not severe, or likely to occasion his death. The prisoner always treated the boy well; the witness Diggins was accused of stealing rum during the voyage ; he saw Bi gg ins beat the boy on the morning of the day on which he expired, with a rope, and he also threw him amongst some spars. Mr. lieslop, a passenger on board the vessel, saw the boy on the chest, as stated by the first witness ; but he slept part of the time. The boy commonly slept on the deck. The Captain did not heat him severely, nor was he kept on the chest the whole of the night. It was not a severely cold night ; there was no snow or sleet. The prisoner put in a written defence, in which NI denied the offence imputed to him. • Several merchants, and a number of other respectable per sons,_ were called on b e h a lf of the prisoner ' s character. Some of them had known him for 30 years, and they gave him the highest character for mildness and humanity. The LORD CHIEF IlaitoN said, that had the case been left solely upon the evidence of the two tirst witnesses, he should have thought the situation of the prisoner was a very critical one; but the subsequent evidence had completely contradicted the most material parts of their testimony, and had negatived the imputation of malice on the part of the prisoner towards the deceased. The Jury, without permitting th e L earne d J u d ge to sum up returned a verdi ct o f Guilty. er was a good-looki ng man, about 50 years of age. The e h v se i e d ps e st n ii: c e no n , then terminated. A FEME COUVERT. Mr. 111 En aIr.WETHE a showed causeagainat a rule obtained by Mr. Taunton, to set aside proceedings in.an action for goods against a lady named Frances Potts. The rule had been ob tained on the ground that the lady sued in the tanie'of Fanny Potts, was a femme convert. The plaintiff's affidavit was read by Mr. MERRIWETHE It stated that at the time he gave the lady credit for the goods, he had never head of her marriage, anti he did not believe she was married. She said from time to-time, she would give him a draft on her banker, and appeared to he a single woman. Justice LITT LEDALE—Does your affi.lavit say she repre .seo ted herself to be a f. , :mnze scul Mt. MEnnuweTnEtt said it did not., and on that account. he was apprehensive the rule must be absolute; but he sub mitted it ought to be without costs. Mr. Tau Terox, in support of his rule, contended that the Court had held in several cases that it was contrary to practice to refuse the discharge of a married woman, where she had used no deceit by representing herself a femme seal. The Lady in this case was entitled to be discharged on finding bail. Mr. Justice flavymr.—Have you an affidavit stating that she was married, and that her husband is living ? Mr. TAusToN.—Yes ; she says she is the wife of Henry Potts, who is now living. . . Mr - . Justice BAILEY said, the rule must be absolute. Mr. TAIT icToN then suggested whether it was not a con tempt when the plaintiff in his affidavit said he did not believe she was a married woman ? Mr. Justice BAY LEY.—No : the plaintiff in all probability has suffered enough. The Rule for setting aside the proceedings Was made absolute. IN THE MATTER OF TILE BOROUGH OF EAST LOOE. This was a rule, obtained by the Attorney-General, calling on the Mayor of die borough of East Lim, who is also steward of the court-leet of the manor, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, requiring him to enrol a resident householder in the borough, and to swear him a burgess of the corporation, in order to give him the privilege of voting for members to serve in Parliament. Mr. ADAM and Mr. COLERIDGE showed cause against the rule, and produced a decision of the House of Commons, that the right of voting was in the burgesses only, and not in the re sident householders, and contended that a resident householder could not, merely as such, claim to be admitted a burgess. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. Al ER REWETHER, in support of the rule, urged that there was sufficient ground laid in the affidavits to render it questionable whether the right of voting was not originally in the residents, and had been usurp ed by the select body; and that the terms of the charter were, at least, open to the construction that all resiants were entitled to become burgesses. As, therefore, there was doubt, both as to the fact and the law, they submitted that the case should be placed in a train of further inquiry. The COURT, however, thought both points clear against the rule. They believed, and in that belief they were confirmed by the admission of Mr. Merrewether, whose knowledge of corporation law very extensive, that there was no corporation in England to which mere residency gave a right of admission. To hold that the charter conferred on all residents such a right, would be to alter the constitution of numerous corporate bodies, with which the Court had no power to interfere.—The rule must therefore discharged. CONSISTORY COURT, FEB. 9. PALL ✓. BALL. This cause, which was a suit for a divorce, by reason of adultery, promoted by Mrs. Sarah Ball, against her husband, Mr. George Ball, a brewer, residing in Drury-lane, has been several years in progress in this Court. This day it came on for ud gm en t. Sir C. ROBINSON said the pleas in this cause had been very numerous, and the case was altogether of a very complicated nature. The libel put in on behalf of the wife pleaded the marriage in 1812, and subsequent cohabitation ; the lady was the widow of a brewer in Drury-lane, by whom Mr. Ball had been long employed in a confidential capacity, and he had ul timately married the widow. Mrs. Ball had a niece residing with her, named Penny, to whom she afforded her protection in consequence of Miss Penny having been left an orphan. In 1813, Mrs. Ball had a female child, which was placed in the care of Miss Penny, as nurse. The libel charged Mr. Ball with having very early exhibited signs of disaffection towards her, and estrangement of his affections from her to Miss Penny. . This charge was met, on the other side, by counter pleading; and from the evidence of all the witnesses, it seemed that both Mr. and Mrs. Ball's disagreements were originally caused by the dispositions of each party ; the witnesses de scribed the blame to attach to both parties. Mrs. Ball's dif ferences were chiefly occasioned by money matters, regarding the fortune which was to have been settled on herself and children : this was not settled until 1821, when, upon the ap plication of Mrs. Ball's trustees to the Court of Chancery, Mr. Ball was compelled to refund the money. The first proximate act, pleaded to have taken place, was in August, 1819, when, in consequence of the frequent disagreements between the parties, Mrs. Ball left her husband (she had previously, in 1813, left her husband, but returned to him again) : in April, 1820, she returned to him again, and, in the interim, such facts were pleaded as, according to the argument of Counsel, called on the Court to come to a conclusion of adultery. It was stated that Mr. Ball had, during that time, acted with unbecoming familiarity towards Miss Penny : to support this charge, Margaret Walters, a servant, stated that on one occasion she was passing the parlour window, and on looking in, she saw Mr. Ball and Miss Penny playing like children together,and that she thought it improper. On another occasion, while passing Mr. Ball's room, she saw Mr. Ball taking improper liberties with the person of Miss Penny ; this might not perhaps lead to a conclusion of adultery, hut it might (considering the habits and ages of the parties) very naturally lead to a conclusion that there was a personal attachment not consistent with the relative situations of the persons. The house wherein Mr. and Mrs. Ball resided was only one story high, end had three rooms on the first floor, to which there were only two entrances, so that there was an intermediate room, and it was charged that Mr. Ball often required gruel at night after he was in bed, and he insisted on Miss Penny's bringing it to him ; she did so, and on such occasions Miss Penny was sometimes as long as two hours in Mr. Ball's bed-room, during which time it was charged that he committed adultery. Subsequently, she went to reside at Kentish-town, the lodgings having been taken for her by Mr. Ball, This witness's evidence was throughout pregnant with inferences, but all of the circumstances were denied in a counter-plea to which Miss Penny had deposed. Miss Penny added, that Mr. and Mrs. Ball disagreed a few days after their marriage, and that the feuds continued, but attributed all the blame to Mrs. Ball, exculpating Mr. Ball from any blame whatever; she denied that Mr. Ball had ever taken any im proper-familiarities with her whatever. This seemed to be a very unnatural mode for Miss Penny to pursue towards her aunt, Mrs. Ball, who had so long supported her, and seemed as if she was making herself' a party to the suit. She, how ever, admitted that Mr. Ball took the lodgings in Kentish town for her without Mrs. Ball's knowledge, and she re turned to the brewery in November following.—Ann Tuppy, another witness, was also a servant to Mr. and Mrs. Ball, and deposed to the same facts. It was also charged that Mr. Ball took lodgings fo Miss Penny, in Russell-street, Bloomsbury, at the house of a very respectable family, named Kocher.—Mary Bristow was a servant to Mr. and Mrs. limber, and she de posed to having, on several occasions, seen Mr. Ball and Miss Penny together, in exceedi ng ly un b ecom i ng s i tuat i ons . M r . and Mrs. Hocher, as well as Mr. Antonio Rocher, had also b ee n examined as witnesses, and their evidence chiefly related to certain expressions which Mary Bristow had made use of re garding Mr. Bother's house. It did not appear there was any room to question the respectability of Mr. Rocher's house, or to imagine that any of that gentleman's family knew of what wag going forward. In the shape of an affidavit, a revocation of Mary Bristow's had been presented to the Court, by which she deposed that all she had charged Al r. Ball with was false ; that she had been induced to give that testimony from .the pro mises of advantage held out to her by Mrs . . Ball; and that she made this revocation voluntarily, without any communication from Mr. Ball, and entirely from a conscientious feeling that what she had before sworn to was improper. Upon looking at , all the circumstances, however, the Court could come to no other conclasion, but, that this affidavit was procured by th e initrumentality, and ,in consequence of a communication from, Mr. Ball ; and, that the means which were proved to have been used in tampering with the witnesses, one of whom Mr. Bail' had 'called by - an abusive epithet, anti threatened with prosecu tion and pillory, deserved the strongest reprobation. Sir C. ROBINSON concluded a.very long anti able speech by declaring that Mrs. Ball was entitled to the relief she prayed for„, and decreed for the divorce accordingly. lt was understood (so determined are the parties) that the case will be the subject of an a pp ea l to a superior Court. MURDER O A MAN BY fIIS WIFE. [Further particulars.' CORONER'S IsQw.EsT.!--rVi.strrday morning at. ten o'clock a . Coroner's Inquest was taken at St. Giles's Infir mary, before'. STIR r.i NG, EMI. on the body of Joseph Kea ton, when the following evidence was giv en : John Taylor , is shoemaker, residing in the room over that occupiedlby deceased, at No. 5, Laseelles-court, Broad-street, St. Giles's.- On Sithday morning last heard deceased and wife talking angrily ; shortly after, some person left their room, and went out of the house, shutting the street door; heard some thing fall and break after the apparetecixarrel ; also heard some one say the man was in a gore of blood ; went doivri stairs to the room of deceased a little before two o'clock ; the man was dead and his wife in custody ; the surgeons were then there • I did not feel very well, an d rat h er w i s h e d not to see so horrid a scene ; for this reason did not go down at an earlier hour. I, Mary Taylor (who first gave her name as AlTartney) is the wife of the last witness ; knew deceased ; was acquainted with his wife; had been often into their room; never heard so much as " you lie" pass between them ; they lived comfortably ; saw Mrs. Keaton on Saturday night ; thought she was a little in toxicated, as was also deceased ; it was near twelve at night that I saw them ; as I was going out to market deceased's wife called me to have a drink of porter, hut I would not until I returned, from fear the shops should be shut ; when I came back again I had a drink of porter with her, and another w:th her husband ; they were sitting one on either side of the fire-place, with a table before them on which were two loaves and two quart pots, one of them was half emptied, the other full; I went up stairs to my own room, and shortly afterwards heard deceased and his wife talking loud and apparently quarrelling ; something seem_ ed to fall upon the floor of their room ; a woman's voice called out that the man was in a gore of blood, and his wife clapped her hands and exclaimed that she had killed her husband ' • our door was shut, but the hous e bei n g v er y sma ll we could dis tinctly hear what passed in the room below ; I did not go down for some time; the watchmen were then there; the surgeons had not arrived ; the woman was crying bitterly, wringing her hands, and exclaiming that she had murdered her husband ; her hands were bloody ; I went down stairs before my husband, and returned to my room in a:short time. The woman gave me the first drink of porter • she did not appear o ff en d e d w h en h er hus band gave me a drink ; site afterwards very pleasantly bade me good night. By the Jurors-1 did not hear any cry of' murder, except that of the woman, when she called out that she had murdered her husband : I did not see any weapon in her hands; I did not go down until a quar t er o f an h our had elapsed front the first alarm given by the wife; I thought nothing of the quarrel, as they were often at words • I never heard her say any thing which could induce a belief that she was jealous ; 1 do not think that deceased lived with any other woman ; 1 am the wife ofJohn Taylor. _ Coitown—llad. you reason to think the deceased's wife was mad ? Witness—To be sure she was, or she would not have mur dered her husband ? 1 could not but think so afterwards. Juror—What did she strike her husband with ? Witness—l tun sure I don't know ; I did not see her strike her husband. Richtird Ogle, Surgeon, of No. 85, Great Russell -street, Bloomsbnry, put in a written deposition, stating, that , having been - required by the Parish Officers of St. Giles, Bloomsbury, to attend at the Infirmary for the purpose of ascertaining by ex amination the cause of death to a man whose body had been re moved from his lodgings in Lascelles-court, he attended with that view on Tuesday. On examination of the head he found two large wounds on the upper part of the skull, one of which was a fracture of an inch and a half in length by an inch in width ; a portion of the bone of the dimensions stated appeared to have been forced with great violence upon the brain ; as there was no appearance in the room that the wounds on the head could have been occasioned by a fall, particularly as the injuries received were on different par::: of tlic head, :IA even to have bean inflicted with considerable violence, I conclude that some in:trumat must have been used, and with blows, from which the injuries were caused ; I found one of the blood-vessels of the head ruptured, and there were several ounces of extrava sated blood upon the brain : these, I have no doubt, were the immediate causes of the death of deceased. Witness produced a piece of the skull 1 inch by 1 inch. -- Stephenson, surgeon, of No. 40, High-street, Blooms. bury—About half-past one o'clocklon Sunday morning last I was called upon to attend deceased ; he was lying on his back in his apartment ; he was quite dead, and appeared to have been so for some minutes; the upper and back part of the head were con siderably injured ; one of the wounds was sufficient to cause death ; the wife had been removed before I arrived ; I observed a considerable quantity of blood among some coals in a corner of the room ; the principal wound, anti I only observed that one, seemed to have been inflicted with a sharp instrum e nt, as it was rather cut than bruised; I did not examine minutely the implements on the table; I think the large shovel or spade most likely to have been used. No assistance could have been of any avail from the nature of the wound ; some person had endea voured to draw blood from the arm by the incision of a lancet before I arrived, but it was useless. and indeed would have been improper. From the post mortem examination 1 think the large fracture sufficient to have caused,death. Charles Webb, assistant to Mr. Ireland, of Hart-street, Bloomsbury, surgeon—Was sent for to attend deceased about one o'clock on Sunday morning ; no medical gentlemen had arrived previously; the man was quite dead, and appeared to have been so at least a quarter of an hour; in compliance with the'general wish of tho►e present, although I was well aware that it was useless, I attempted to bleed deceased, but Mr. Stephenson arriving soon after, I left the house. I did not see the woman ; she had been previously removed by the watch man ; there was much blood on the floor; no attempt to staunch the wound appeared to have been made. A fter severalother witnesses bad been examined, theColtosEtt shortly addressed the Jury. That the deceased had given the first blow might, he thought, be taken as conclusive, and also that the prisoner immediately struck him with the broom ; that such blow had caused death there could not be any doubt. Two circumstances weighed vet) , heavily against the womara:—lst, The circumstance of there being more wounds than one on the head of deceased ; and, secondly, that the fact of blood and human hair being found on the spade, poker, and shovel.— They would view the body, and decide upon the case as one of murder or manslaughter; tbr his part he was very much dissatisfied with the evidence as exculpatory, and thought it was for the prisoner to prove a better case to the satisfaction of another Jury. The Jury having rettumed from viewing the body of the un fortunate deceased, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Mary Keaton." By the removal of the fractured bones, the greater part of the brain was exposed to view.
