The indictment' had been removed by certio rari to this Court. Mr. BLACKBURN, for the prosecution, stated that Mr. Herepath, who is known to the public by his writings on astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, and other sciences, was in this instance a sort of victim to the disputes and quarrels of his children. In consequence of battles between the children of Mr. West and Mr. Herepath, the latter ordered his boys to cut off all communication with the adverse family. Mr. West, unable to restrain his resent ment within the bounds of decorum, commenced a long strain of abuse, and bestowed the most provok ing epithets upon Herepath, whom he threatened to kick up and down Bedford-street, his place of residence. Suiting the action to the word, he struck the prosecutor in the face, and occasioned a severe illness. After the assault had been proved, the Jury found a verdict of Guilty, and the defendant entered into sureties. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 3. Sittings at Westminster Hall before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.) ROLAND V. BULLOCK. _ . This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation for an injury which his child sustained by the defendant's careless drividg. On the 4th of March last the defendant, a re spectable elderly gentleman, connected with the Treasury, was driving his chaise through the Marsh gate, on the Surrey side of Westminster Bridge, when the child of the plaintiff, having a basket in her hands, suddenly rushed across the street and came in contact wiih the breast of the horse, and knocked down. The defendant, being an elderly gen tleman and near-sighted, did not observe the child until the wheels of the chaise (a light one) passed ' over her body. He immediately pulled up, and had the child removed to a medical gentleman's, where he ordered every attention to be paid it, and subsequently he paid all the necessary expenses, and offered any compensation that might be thought liberal. The child recovered in a week, and was quite able to pursue its usual avocations. Not withstanding defendant's offer of compensation the present action was commenced. For the plaintiff it was contended that by the accident the child would be disabled for life, she having got a tumour on her neck, owing to an in jury of the vertebra. This was negatived by the defendant's witness, a medical gentleman, who swore that the tumour en the neck was owing to the scrofulous habits of the child, and that the child's health was by no means injured by the ' accident. The Jury, after an hour's consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—aimages 501. The verdict seemed to be received with a consi derable degree of surprise. desire. He got six shillings a night from Gregory for his visits. The RECORDER then addressed the jury. He hoped that the hair of no one of his Majesty's sub jects' heads would be touched by such evidence as they had of the defendant keeping the house. Was it not clear, that the landlord never having been seen at the house, and no money having been taken for admission, the music and dancing might have been the act of the company only, who brought one of those strolling fiddlers, so common in that neigh bourhood, to play for their own temporary amuse ment? No act of disorder was proved. If this informer could succeed—this man who lived in a hole, and met his agents in a coffee-shop—he would pocket upwards of eight thousand pounds by his ac tions. Talk of nuisances ! could any nuisance be equal to that ? Why were the poor to be deprived of such harmless enjoyments as were within their reach ? And why was the landlord to be treated as a criminal because such harmless enjoyment took place, without its being proved that it was with his knowledge ?—(There was an expression of applause when the Learned Gentleman concluded, which was instantly suppressed by the officers.) Lord LYNDHURST charged the jury, that the ac tion was brought by a common informer, and sup ported by witnesses hired by him. It was a case which they could not regard with any favour as re spected the plaintiff; but if they were satisfied with the evidence, they must find a verdict for him. The charge was concluded about half-past four o'clock ; and the jury, after consulting in the box for about a quarter of an hour, desired to retire, and in about an hour after came into Court, and delivered • a verdict for the defendant. _ - COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, DEc. 3. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, DEC. 3. DEFEAT OF A COMMON INFORMER. GREGORY V. TUFFS. Mr. F. Poliocx stated the case. The plaintiff brought this action against the defendant, who kept a public-house in the parish of St. George-in-the East, called the Blue Anchor, to recover a penalty of 1001., under a particular Statute for the regula tion of such houses. The action was brought for the purpose of suppressing one of the greatest nuisances by which the public could be annoyed— the collection of a number of persons of both sexes to spend the night in dancing and rioting. He was aware that his Learned Friend might stigmatize his client for the number of such actions he had brought ; but, in his (Mr. Pollock's) opinion, con sidering the nature of the nuisance, he should rather be considered a courageous public benefactor for endeavouring to root it out.—(A laugh.) Edward Joseph Jones is a coal-merchant, and knows the public-house kept by the defendant, in Parson's-street, East Smithfield. Witness went there between nine and ten at night on the 9th of July. He went into the tap-room, and saw a man playing a violin, and four girls dancing, they ap peared to be women of the town. The room was nearly full of sailors, and soldiers, and women. Wit ness remained from a quarter to half an hour ; the girls danced the greater part of the time. The tiddler sat on a raised seat, which was fixed, with a place for his feet. He went again on the 11th of September, about nine o'clock at night, and saw the same man playing the fiddle, and soldiers and women dancing, and other persons drinking, as before. He went again on the 13,h, and on the 17th and 21st of September, and saw dancing as before. By the COURT—He went for the purpose of taking notes for this trial. He was paid by Go- gory. Cross-examined by the RECORDER —IS that your ledger you are reading from ?—No. Lord LYNDHURST.— His day-book.— (Great laughter.) Examination resumed—Will you trust me with that book for a moment ? Witness handed the book. What are these entries penned down ? Are they notes for the other ninety-five actions the plaintiff has brought ?--No, not so many.—(A. laugh.) How many, ninety-four ?—Not so many. How many, then ? Do tell us.—Between eighty and ninety.—(A laugh.) You say you are a coal-merchr.nt ; where is your wharf ?—I have no wharf; my business is a private business.—(A laugh.) Have you any coal ?—No ; my business is pri vate, I don't keep coal.—(A laugh.) Then, you are a coal-merchant, without any coal ?—(Great laughter.) When 1 get an order, I buy coal where I can get it best. Do all these entries relate to public-houses which you visited at Gregory's desire ?—I was not desired to visit any in particul , ..i. You hada roving commission ?—(Great laughter.) —I visited where I thought best. What were you before you became a coal-mer chant ?—I was clerk to Mr. Martin the barrister, and left him voluntarily. What sort of seat did the fiddler sit on ?- a raised seat. By the COURT—Was it a chair ?—lt was ; my Lord, a chair a little higher than that your Lordship sits on.—(Great laughter, in which Lord Lyndhurst joined.) Examination continued—He reported his pro ceedings front time to time to Mr. Gregory. Gre gory lives in Manchester -buildings, Gray's Inn-lane. He does not know how Gregory gets his living; lie believes he's a gentleman, but does not know that he has any thing to live on. By the COURT—Gregory paid him six shillings' a night; he was always paid beforehand.—(A laugh.) James Higgins is a carpenter, and knows the de fendant's house. The witness deposed to having visited the defendant's house thirteen times, and seen men and women dancing to the tu ne of a violin. Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT—Let me see that book. [Witness handed his book.] Is this book your first, second, or third volume ?—(A laugh.) The first. Mr. PLATT—Who bought this book ? Witness —Mr. Gregory. He made the visits at Gregory's was MR. SANT, THE C OAL-MERCHANT, The first meeting of creditors under the fiat issued against Mr. Sant, the coal-merchant, of Adelphi Wharf and Orme-square, Bayswater, was held this day before Mr. Commissioner FONELANQUE. After several debts had been proved, Mr. Hyde, the solicitor to the fiat, said that a claim was made for 4501., alleged to be due, by the executor of a Mrs. Wildgoose upon a bill of ex change given by the bankrupt. Mrs. Wildgoose, in her will, directed that a sum of 201. should be paid out of her estate as a legacy to the bankrupt, and a similar sum to Mrs. Sant, which sums he (Mr. Hyde) submitted should be deducted from the claim of 4501. The COMMISSIONER said that Mrs. Sant was en titled to her legacy, and he would therefore only allow the bankrupt's legacy to be deducted from the claim. A solicitor appeared on behalf of an annuity cre ditor, and under the 51th section of the Act he requested the Commissioner to ascertain the value of the annuity. He observed that the net amount of the annuity, after deducting the expenses of life policy, &c., was 10/., the consideration paid for which was 4001. The COMMISSIONER, after observing that it was the duty of an actuary to calculate the value of the annuity, estimated it at 3801., which sum was ad mitted to proof. Mr. Hyde then stated that a gentleman appeared to prove upon a bill of exchange for ISM., which he received from a person named Parker, who was in debted to him to the amount of 3,0001. Mr. Hyde suggested that the claimant should apply to Mr. Parker for the amount of the bill, but the gentleman chose to prove it against the bankrupt's estate. The proof was adjourned. In reply to a question put by the official assignee, Mr. Hyde stated that the bankritpt was never in partnership with his son. The debts due by the bankrupt were stated to amount to about 12,7001. The debts proved a to-day amounted to upwards ot' 9,0001., including sum of 6,600/. claimed by the bankrupt's father-in-law. In the course of the proceedings, a remark hav ing been made about the expected dividend, the official assignee said he was afraid it would be very the LORD MAYOR, charged with having broken and entered a counting-house with intent to oteal. It was stated by some of the officers that :he prisoner was a lag, or returned transport. He was fully committed for trial_ BO TV-STREET. Yesterday a man named Britton, the driver cr one of Mr. Shillibeer's omnibuses plying from Pad dington to the Bank, by way of Oxford-street, was s,immoned for having driven his vehicle past St. Giles's Church during the time of divine service on Sunday morning last. By a clause introduced into the Act passed last session for the better regulation of omnibuses and other hackney carriages on the Sabbath Day, with respect to their passage through the public streets, the magistrates have the power , upo n application of any respectable inhabitant of any metropolitan parish, to issue an order regulating the line which such carriages shall take during the hours of divine service on Sundays, to prevent the interruption in the different churches occasioned by the noise of these vehicles, and which has been so much complained of. This clause was intro duced at the suggestion of Sir F. Roe, the Chief Magistrate, and the first parishes that availed them selves of it were those of St. Giles and St. George, Bloomsbury ; from each of which an application was made at this office, and an order printed and widely circulated, signed by Sir F. Roe, Mr. Min shull, and Mr. Halls, directing that omnibuses pass ing Holborn way should, on going eastward, turn up Tottenham-court-road,down Great Russell-street, and into Holborn by Lyon-street, and those proceed ing westward to leave Holborn at Lyon-street, and go by the same route to Tottenham-court -road and Ox ford-street. On Sunday se'nnight the notices were posted in the whole line from Paddington to the Bank, but the defendant on that day persisted, in spite of the efforts of police constable No. 95 E and a beadle, who were stationed at the end of Lyon street, in driving on past St. Giles's church, to the great annoyance of the congregation assembled therein. The officers attempted to stop the horses, but he threatened with very violent language to horsewhip them, and rose in his box for that pur pose, when they thought it best to take his number and let him go. The defence set up was that he was ignorant of the new regulation, but Sir F. ROE said it was impossible he could be, so widely had the placards been circulated, and a parcel having been sent by his orders to every book office in London, besides those which had been stuck up in public places. Sir Frederick then con victed the defendant in the penalty of 20s. and costs, and expressed his determination to enforce the law with the utmost rigour in all future cases. This was the first offence under the Act, or he would have inflicted the full penalty of 405., or two months' imprisonment. The defendant was unable to pay, and requested Mr. Shillibeer to pay for him; but the latter re fused, observing that he had acted decidedly in the teeth of an excellent regulation, and he would not even indirectly sanction such conduct on the part of any man in his employment; on the contrary, he would always set his face decidedly against it. The defendant was then committed to the House of Correction for one month, there to be kept to hard labour. MARY LEB ONE. Two OF A TRADE CAN NEVER AGREE.—Richard Forge, a master tailor, residing at No. 10, Park street, Dorset-square, appeared to answer to a war rant for an assault and battery preferred against him by a brother snip living in the same neighbourhood, named Elisha Millwood. It appeared from the evidence of complainant, a dapper little fellow about four feet two inches high, and dressed in the very pink of fashion, that him self and the defendant bad not latterly been on the best of terms, in consequence of the latter having industriously circulated a report that he (complain ant) had made a waistcoat for the small sum of 2s. 6.1., a disgrace to which he could pledge his honour he never submitted, it being his constant endeavour to uphold rather than lessen the trade by working under price. On Saturday morning tho defendant sent to his house, saying that he would be glad if the complainant could send him half a dozen flexible buttons, value one penny farthing. Complainant, wishing to oblige, sent his boy with them, who returned with only one penny. He made him go back, and ask for the farthing, when the boy quickly returned, saying that Mr. Forge had said he would not pay the farthing, and that he (complainant) might go to -. Feel ing exasperated, and the defendant owing him some money, complainant set off for the purpose of demanding it of him, and on arriving at the defendant's house he was shown into the parlour, where he saw Mrs. Forge, with whom he entered into conversation about the story of the waistcoat, in the course of which the defendant came into the room, and with the voice of a Stentor exclaimed, " What is that you say about the waistcoat ? It is not a private but a public thing, you - little rascal ;" and at the same time thrust his fist into complainant's face, which gave his mouth a severe " twist." Having repeated the blow two or three times, complainant thought it would be prudent to " cut ;" he therefore " sheered" off as soon as pos sible, and the first thing on Monday morning applied at this office for a warrant. The defendant in reply said that, on entering the parlour, he found the complainant and his wife talking about a waistcoat; the complainant made use ofs ome very bad expressions, anit was foaming at the mouth. He desired him to quit the house, when he turned round like a merry-andrew, and tried to strike him several times. He (defendant) then pushed him out of doors, but denied having struck him. Mr. RANVIANSON said the old adage of two of a trade could never agree was verified, and advised the " men of cabbage" to make friends ; but the complainant, who imagined that his dignity had been insulted by the report of the waistcoat, refusing all overtures to such an arrangement, the defendant was ordered to enter into his own recognizances to answer the charge at the Sessions. QUEEN-SQUARE.Robert Jolies was brought up for final examina tion, charged with robbing the Count de Weuttz of various articles of property of the value of 300/. and upwards. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. CAPTURE OF THREE NOTORIOUS HOUSEBREAKERS. —Thomas Clarke, James Hanson, and Henry Wil liamson, three notorious characters, were Oiarged with breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. John Waight, of Cottage-place, Burdett-street, West minster-road. It appeared from the evidence of Police sergeant Smith that, from some conversation he had with the lodgers in Mr. Waight's house, he had strong suspicions that some persons intended to commit a felony and rob the house. He ascertained that a sum of money, between 201. and 30/., was in the house, belonging to a benefit club, and that certain parties had beets making inquiries of a lodger as to what time the landlord was in the habit of going out. He spoke to the prosecutor on the subject, and advised all parties to go out on the previous afternoon, and leave him in possession. They left the house accordingly, and witness lucked himself in the parlour. Not long after there were self. - ral raps at the street door, which of couve he did not answer. He then heard some per• Inaifen t street door, as he supposed with skeleton keys, and distinctly heard four persons in ;he passage by their voices. They then attempted unlock the parlour door with skeleton keys, but witness kept his foot against it and prevented them. One of them called out," Burst it opera, Bill ;" they tried, but did not succeed. He then heard the same person say, "Bill, go up stairs; the lot is there." He could hear two of the men go up stairs, and presently he heard a rumbling noise there, as if some persons were wrenching open a trunk. Knowing that the club-money was kept up stairs he thought it high time to come out of the parlour, but dhe noise of his opening the parlour door alarmed the two men that remained, and they instantly seized the handle or knob of the door, and held it so fast that he could not get out. He burst open the pannel of the door, and with his lantern in one hand and a pistol in the other, he saw the prisoners Han son and Williamson holding the door with a hand kerchief which they had twisted round the knob. lie swore if they did not let him go he would shoot them. They cried our," Crush it, Bill ; cut away ;" and ran up stairs. He then heard a crash of a win dow up stairs, and he tan to the street door to give an alarm, but found that it was both locked and bolted. He opened the window shutters, gave the alarm, and ran up stairs; he caught a gl;mpse of one man in a room and locked him in. lie found three skeleton keys, and discovered that the other prisoners had escaped by the beck windows into the yards adjoining, where Williamson and Chrko were found concealed, and Hanson, whom he had loc!ied in the room, was also taken into custody. Severa: trifling articles were found on the prisoners, which were identified by the prosecutor. They were fully committed for trial. PORTUGAL. THE LETTER OF COUNT DE TAIPA TO DON PEDRO, Sire—The Constitutional Charter, tit. 8., s. 28, says, " Every citizen shall have the right to pre sent to the legislative and also to the executive any claims, complaints, and petitions, as well as to de nounce any infraction of the Constitution, by de manding before the competent tribunal the real re sponsibility of the offenders." Taking adv %wage of this political right conceded to me by the Charter I again approach your Imperial Majesty in order to explain to you the false position in which the pre sent Ministry has placed the cause of the Queen, by indisposing a part of the nation against your Majesty, and by preventing friendly foreign Governments from employing an amicable interference in our affairo in order to restore peace and quiet to our unfortunate country. The Portuguese nation desires nothing so much as tranquillity : torn by intestine discord sine,/ 1820 it has been reduced to such a state a ex- , haustion and misery that despair alone still keep under the standard of the Infante Don Miguel that handful of persons who, either by delusion or by force, were induced to follow the cause of injustice ; difficulties increase every day, and the re-establish ment of the kingdom is paralysed by the stupi dity of the Ministers, and the total loss of credit in the Government. The Ministry has entirely lost the opinion of the public. The grossest ignorance is shown of its laws, and the greatest unskilfulness betrayed in all its precautionary measures, while the most scandalous immorality is practised in the nomination to public offices, and in every department of Government. The present Ministry is not the representative of any one single interest in the country; it is nothing more than a faction of prosing fool, of anarchical cosmopolites, without name, without property, with ' out claim upon the public, without talent; a faction that in no other manner belongs to Portugal, but that its member happened to be born on its soil, with no other propensity but to snatch up all the " loaves and fishes" of the State. They are with out any principle, good or bad ; they have been im properly accused of being " ultra-liberals ;" they are any thing and nothing"—the fax of all parties, the caput mortuunt of all factions, from which un hallowed mixture has sprung forth a strange anti unnatural monster. It is only thus that we can explain the phenomenon of seeing them perse cute equally the friends acrd the enemies of the national cause. False and ungrateful to wards some, and impolitic towards others, they have not only not gained a single friend—they have alienated all. These are not vague accusations; I will proceed to prove them by facts. Vattel, whose authority may be said to be lit.v among the !nations of Europe, speaking of civil wars, says—" The most certain and at the same time the most just way of quieting sedition is to satisfy the people ; "and if they have revolted without any motive for doing so —a thing that perhaps never happens— still it is necessary, as we have just said, to grant an amnesty to the greater part of them. As soon as the amnesty is published and accepted all that is past should be forgotten, and nobody called to account for his conduct during the revolt; and in general a Prince who wishes to be thought a scrupulous ob server of his word ought to perform faithfully every promise he has made to the rebels; that is, to those of his subjects who revolted without reason and without necessity. If he does not keep his promises invio lably the rebels cart have no further security in treating with him; when they have once drawn the sword they must throw away the scabbard ; he will have deprived himself of the most pleasing and most salutary means of appeasing the revolt ; nothing is left but to exterminate the revolted. Despair will render them formidable, piny will bring them com panions, arid swell their ranks, and then the State will be really in danger !" Ir is in the predicament alluded to in this last sentence of Vattel that the men who compose the present Ministry have placed us, The Constitutional Charter, tit. 8, sec. ID, says, " No punishment shall pass beyond the person of the delinquent, and therefore, in no case whatever, shall be p-rmitted any confiscation cf property, nor can the infamy of the convicted be transmitted to his relations or descendants." In our present cir cumstances, Sire, even if the Charter did not, policy would most imperiously forbid confiscation; the ci tizens of Oporto, who, scarcely armed, rushed to meet death on the bayonets of the Usurper on the memorable 29th of September of last year, had be held the sack of Villa Nova; the defence of their homes impelled to that act of heroism. In the Decree of the 31st of August, 1833, the Ministry, after an insidious preamble, proceed to an act of spoliation of the greater part of the landed proprietors in Portugal ; for the militia, who were dragged from their houses, under pain of seeing them burnt, to fight in the usurper's cause, are corn. posed of the landed men of the provinces ; they are too numerous to be called rebels, and having lost all hope of enjoying anything that constitutes human feli city, they may he excited to the enthusiasm of • e spair ; they cannot, to be sure, succeed, because the cause of the Usurper is impossible, bi.t they may prolong this war of devastation till this wretched country, brught to the brink of annihilation, exists only in name. I do not fear, Sire, the execution of this law ; I fear only the alarm which it has caused among the people. I see in it nothing but the diabolical intentions of the 'Ministers; tae ,m --possibility of its execution is its own preservative. Vattel says, " Punishment the most just becomes cruelty when it is extended to too great a number of people." Your Majesty, Sire, cannot make laws, because the legislative power is of its own nature incommu nicable. That illustrious Peer of France, the Count of Lanjuinais, whose voice was ever heard in the cause of liberty, said, when the Ministers of the French restoration endeavoured to make of the French Charter the same as your Majesty's Minis ;ers are trying to make of that which your Majesty has bestowed upon us—" The legislative power project of law, which uelt. ;g:ratleaetw,itsieoairtnher to the King nor to any abuse or dangerous super.

WINTER CIRCUIT.—CHEEMSFOID, DEC. 2. (Before Mr. Baron VAUGHAN- John Cliff was convicted of having been on the 2d of November last in a close, the property of Boyd, Esq:, armed with a gun, for the pur pose of destroying game. He was sentenced to fifteen months' imprison ment and hard labour. George Lamb and Henry Phillips were found Guil y of breaking and eniering the house of the Rev. William Jesse, and stealing therefrom a silver snuff-box and other articles. James Philpot was charged with a burglary com mitted as far back as the sth of December, 1627, in concert with another person, who was tried at the March Assizes in that year, convicted, and executed. An objection having been taken to the present indictment, the Jury, under his Lordship's direc tion, acquitted the prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. CHARGE OF FORGERY.—JohnJOhnSIOIL, and Mary his wife, were put to the bar, charged with having forged a check, in the name of Richard Howell, upon the banking-house of Messrs. Barnett and Co. The check was for 461. 75., and it had been pre sented at the counter and cashed by one of the partners. Neither of the prisoners, however, could be sworn to as the person who had presented the check. The numbers of the notes in which the order had been paid being of course known, the two For resters were employed to watch and make inquiries. They traced one of the 5/. notes to a pawnbroker who knew Mary Johnston well, and entertained no doubt that she had paid it over to him in the pur chase of some articles. A hatter had also taken one of the notes in payment of two hats, both of ' which had been found on the prisoners' premises. A ten-pound note it appeared passed to a tailor in payment of some clothes, which were found on the premises. The address on the ten-pound note was " Wm. Johnston, Bolingbroke-road, Walworth." The officers soon found that the prisoners lived at Vauxhall, and having heard that the husband was rather shy they went early in the morning, made a milk-woman knock at the door with a cry of milk, and slipped into the house the moment the door was opened by the son. The son cried out aloud that his father was not at home, and thus gave the alarm, and immediately a movement was heard in the bedroom. The officers rushed into the bedroom, and saw a very narrow little door in the farther part of it softly close. They succeeded in opening the door, and finally in securing the prisoners. The male prisoner said he had taken the notes he had passed fairly in the way of business. He person was a deal er i n pawnbroker's duplicate s, and he had sold a great man y articles which he had redeemed to a anYvhcohecl'a.s going out to India. That personnothing of had paid him in the notes , but be kneW The LORD MAYOR, who never puts a question the answer to which may e ntrap a prisoner, ordered Johnston to be remanded for further examination, but directed that the female prisoner should not be detained.
