NOTICE TO MARINERS, TARBETNESS LIGHTHOUSE. THE COMMISSIONERS of the • NORTHERN LIGHTHOUSES hereby give Notiee, that a LIGHTHOUSE has been ERECTED "Pon TARBETNESS, in the MORAY FRITH, the Light of which will be exhibited on the night of FRIDAY, the 29th day of January current, and every night there after, from the going away of daylight i❑ the evening till the return of daylight in the morning. The following is a specification of the position of the Lighthouse, and the appearance of the Light, by Mr. . _ Stevenson, Engineer to the Commissioners : Tarbetnees forms the north-eastern extremity of Cro rnartyshire, situate in let. 57 deg. 5 t min. north, and in 1 04 g. 3 deg. 47 min. west, distant about 12 miles from the entrance to Cromarty Frith. By Compass, the Light house beers from the sunken rocks called the Three Kings end th e King's Sons, N.E. i E. distant nine miles ; from lialliman's Scares, lying off Covesea or Cowsey Point, W. W. distant 18 miles ; from Clythness S.W. by , I _ V • W. distant 31 miles; and from Culloden Rock, W. S. distant one mile. Tarbetness Light will be known to Mariners as an In termittent Light, suddenly appearing like a star of the first Magnitude, and continuing in view minutes, when it is soddenly eclipsed for half a minute; thus producing its characteristic effect once in every three minutes. It must, however, be observed, that within the Moray Frith, in a bonth-weoterly direction from Tarbetness, where the Light cannot be mistaken for any other on the Coast, it will be Permanently visible, until the Mariner pass within a Line drawn from Tarbetness through a point half a mile sea war 4 of the King's Sons, when it will be intercepted from ni* View by the high land of the coast. The interception ci the light by the land will thus form a direction to avoid these dangerous Rocks. The Lantern is open or glazed seaward from S.W. W. 14 It N. and is elevated 1715 feet above the medium level of the sea. The Light, in clear weather, will be seen at the distance of five or six leagues, and at lesser distances, wording to the state of the atmosphere.

AS a mild and effectual remedy for those disorders which originate in a morbid action of the Liver and Bihar) , Organs, namely, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Head-ache, Heart-burn, Flatulencies, Spasms, Costiveness, Affections of the Liver, &c. &e., DIXON'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS (which do not contain mercury in any shape) have met with more general approval than any other Medicine whatsoever. They unite every recom mendation of mild operation with successful effect ; and re quire no constraint or confinement whatever during their use. In tropical climates, where the consequences cf redundant and vitiated bi'e are so prevalent and alarming, they are an invaluable and efficient protection. They are likewise peculiarly calculated to correct disorders arising from ex cesses of the table, to restore the tone of the stomach, and to remove most complaints occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEE. 10. REEVES V. SCOTT. In this case a rule nisi for a new trial had been granted. The action was brought by Mr. Charles Reeves, an attorney, against the defendant, James Scott, for a malicious prosecution, he having indicted the plaintiff for perjury in swearing that he (Scott), who had been a clerk in the office of Messrs. Frowd and Rose, attornies, wed had the management of a cause of " Murray v. Reeves," in which Messrs. Frowsl and Rose were concerned as attornies for the p!..intiff Murray. The present action was tried at Guildhall before Lord Tenterden in February last, when the plaintiff obtained a verdict with 100!. damages. The present rule to set that verdict aside was obtained on two grounds,—first, misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge and next, that the verdict was against evidence.—Rule discharged. THE KING V. MURRAY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL prayed the judgment of the Court upon the defendant (Mr. John Murray, the bookseller, of Albemarle-street), who had been convicted, as the publisher of a book en titled The Annals of Jamaica, of a libel on Louia Celeste Lecesne and John Eschoffery. Mr. Murray having appeared on the floor of the Court, Lord TENTERDEN read his notes of the trial, con taining the libel and the facts, which we reported on the 21st of December last. The affidavit of Mr. Murray stated that he was first applied to to publish the work in question (the author of which was the Rev. George Wilson Bridges) by a gentleman of high character and sta tion in society, who made a favourable report of it to him ; that it having been introduced to him by such high authority, he omitted to examine its con tents before publishing it, and was not aware that it contained any matter of a libellous nature ; that he was unacquainted with any of the facts relating to the history of the prosecution, or to the pro ceedings alluded to in the libel ; and that the first intimation he received that the hook contained a libel was by the chance communication of a friend, who told him that an indictment had been preferred against him; that he immediately caused 671 volumes of the work to be withdrawn from circula tion, and removed all the copies in his possession from his house to his warehouse. He stated, in conclusion, that he regretted he should have been the means of publishing a statement that was un true, and calculated to wound the feelings of the prosecutors. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the prosecution, had affidavits from Mr. Lecesne and Mr. Esehoffery, the two persons whose characters had been attacked by this publication. Those affidavits contained a succinct history of all the transactions alluded to in the libel, and gave a direct contradiction to all the matters affecting their character. He should not however, trouble the Court to hear the affidavits read. Messrs. Lecesne and Eschoffery had no re sentment towards Mr. Murray : they had instituted the present prosecution in order that, before their return to Jamaica, their characters might be cleared from that odium which this publication was calcu lated to cast upon them. Mr. Murray had done that which became his character, and had made every reparation which the prosecutors could expect or require. Mr. Lecesne, anticipating that course of conduct which Mr. Murray had adopted, had requested him (the Attorney-General) to beg that the Court would inflict a very slight punishment, or impose merely a nominal fine on Mr. Murray, whose great respectability they and he (the Attor ney-General) most fully acknowledged. Mr. Justice BAYLEY told the defendant that the sentence of the Court was, that he should pay a fine of one shilling. " The Court," added his Lordship, " joins in the observation made by the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, that you con ducted yourself with great propriety, as soon as you were apprized of the improper tendency of the work, or any part of it." Mr. Murray then paid the fine and withdrew. NOTARIES—EXPARTE RIDGEWAY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had obtained a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, di. rected to the Scriveners' Company of London, com manding them to admit Mr. Foxcroft Ridgew a y to be a member of that Company, with a view to his being made a Notary Public. Mr. CAMPBELL now showed cause against the rule. This Company was one of the most ancient Companies of London, and they were called Writers of Court Letters to the City of London. They , were incorporated by the Charter of the 14th of James the First, and allowed to make bye-laws, which they did ; and these bye-laws were approved by Lord Bacon and other eminent lawyers. By one of these bye-laws it was provided that no one should be admitted a member of the Company without hav ing served an apprenticeship of seven year; to a scri vener anti member of the Company, and nndergoing an examination as to the fact of his having done so. By an Act of the 41st of the late King, cap. 89, persons applying for faculties to become notaries, were bound to show that they were members of the Scriveners' Company, and had served seven years with a notary, or with a member of the Scriveners' Company, being a notary. Mr. Ridgeway, on the 29th of July last, applied to be admitted a member of the Company with a view to his obtaining a faculty to become a notary, but the Company re fused to admit him, and the reason was this : From the examination of the applicant himself, and of Mr. Phalli) Drake, with whom he had done business as a notary, it appeared that the applicant had entered into the service of Mr. Drake, a notary, on the 19th June, 1822, and had con tinued to do business with him ever since. But then during the whole or a great part of that time he acted as a clerk to the Messrs. Hopkinson, bankers, in Regent•street, and his attendance was from the hours of nine in the morning till five in the after noon, and it was only after five in the afternoon that he attended at Mr. Drake's office ; and the whole of the notarial business which h e did was to present i bills as a notary n the evening, which he had presented in the morning as a banker's clerk. The object of the Act was to provide, that persons who became notaries, should be experienced in the business; and NING, FEBRUARY 11, 1830. it was with that view that it directed the serving of the apprenticeship to a notary, or to a scrivener being a notary, and rendered it indispensible that they should be members of the Scriveners' Company, in order to subject them to its rules and regulations. But the service meant by the Act evidently was a continued and real - service, and not a mere nominal service, like that of the applicant, who was in the service not of the notary, but the banker; The service inten(!e , l rvn9 a bone fide ser• vice to a notary, and such a service the applicant had not rendered, and the Company was perfectly justified in refusing to admit him, since he had served neither notary nor scrivener. It was re quired of an attorney that he should have served five years as an articled clerk to an attorney. But Auppose a banker's clerk were to article himself to an attorney, and rendered merely an occasional ser vice, in such case he had no doubt the. Court would order him to be struck off the roll. This was a case of a similar description, and he hoped the rule would be discharged. Mr. DENMAN, on the same side, said that the subject had been exhausted, and he would not take up the time of the Court by adding any thing. Mr. PLATT, on the same side, pointed the atten tion of the Court to a case entitled " In the matter of Taylor," S Barn. and Ald., in which it was held that service as an articled clerk to an attorney, while the clerk was at the same time a Surveyor of Stamps, was not sufficient to entitle him to be admitted as an attorney. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in support of the rule, contended that the Court had no jurisdiction to exa mine the applicant as to his service as a notary. This was the business of those to whom he applied for his faculty, and the Company had no right to examine on that point, and the Act was imperative on them to admit. The object of the Act was merely to make notaries subject to the rules and re gulations of the Scriveners' Company, and for that purpose the Company were bound to admit such persons as intended to apply for their faculties. Lord TENTERDEN • was of opinion that the rule ought to be discharged. It could not be supposed that it was meant to be imperative on the Company to admit all who might apply for admission. They were hound to admit only such persons as had per formed the services required by the Act of Parlia ment. The applicant in the present case had not performed a regular service to a notary, his principal business being that of a banker's clerk. A notary had much more to do than to present bills in the evening, and to protest them when not paid. Nota ries, as appeared in a late trial at Guildhall, had often to prepare charter parties, and put them into form from the notes of the ship-broker. They had also to prepare the affidavits of mariners and shipmasters, and draw up their protests, which might be pro duced in evidence in the foreign Courts, though not in the Courts of this country. It was necessary, therefore, that the service of the apprenticeship to the notary should be a real and regular service, which in this case it was not. The other Judges concurred.—Rule discharged. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEB. 10. TRIMMER V. LORD lIUNTINGTOWER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a clergyman, who resided in Leicestershire, where he kept a few private pupils, to recover compensation for the injury which he had received, in consequence of the injurious conduct of the defendant in erecting a nuisance near the residence of the plaintiff, and also in causing certain defamatory letters to be published concerning him, whereby he had lost some of his pupils. The case was tried at the last assizes, before the Chief Baron, at Leicester, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with damages 2,0001. A rule for a new trial was ob tained in the last term, on the grounds of excessive damages, and the admission of improper evidence. The COMMON SERJEANT appeared this day to show cause against the rule. Before the cause had been entered upon, Mr. Baron GARROW observed, that it had been often stated by Judges in Law and Equity Courts, that to write letters to them respecting proceedings which should come before them with a view to bias their judgment, was contrary to law, and a high mis demeanour, as having a tendency subversive of justice. He had been led to make these observa tions in consequence of some persons having dared to send to him some papers, which appeared to be scraps taken out of newspapers, accusing this Court of impropriety in not making the rule absolute, with out reflecting on the character of a respectable indi vidual. He (Baron Garrow) returned the letter to the post-office, having written on it " not taken in," with his own name signed to it. He should be happy to assist in prosecuting the party who wrote it, for attempting to interfere with the Courts of Justice. The CHIEF BARON and Mr. Baron VAUGHAN said that they had received similar letters, but they had treated them with contempt. The COMMON-SERJEANT, in opposing the rule, felt convinced that it would be the interest of his client to have a new trial, as he had no doubt but that he should get larger damages. But his client was anxious to relieve his name from the contamina lion of that detestable and abominable case, and therefore wished that the trial should stand. Mr. CLARK, with wllom was Mr. HUMPHREY, were heard in support. of the rule. The COURT were unanimously of opinion that the evidence had been properly admitted. The rule was accordingly discharged. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FEE. 10. Edward Matthews, a master in the Royal navy, was opposed by Mr. COOKE, on behalf of Mr. Webb, a creditor, for 30/. for meat and money lent. The insolvent had been in the Royal navy for 38 years, and ranked as a master since 1807. His half-pay, after deductions, was about 100/. a-year. About two years ago he took the benefit of the Act at Haverfordwest, and since that time he had con tracted debts to the amount of 136/. 195., prin cipally with persons at Roydon, in Essex, where he had since resided. He attributed his present insol vency to the expence attending the illness of his wife, who had undergone an operation for a com plaint for which Martin Van Butchell was deemed famous doctor. Red port and bark were pre scribed for her sustenance. He vas certain of the wine, but not so positive of the bark.—(Laughter.) With regard to the books of account, he had a few memorandums, but whenever he heard the word book" mentioned, he thought only of the log-book. ___(Laughter.) Mr. Comm—When did you leave Rovdon ?—I stayed until I had notice to quit.—(Laughter.) AlrMooDnoFFE—Have you contracted nnydebts since you left Roydon ?-0h ! I always managed to square the yards since.—(Laughter.) Mr. WO ODROFFE—Now, tell the Court how you were arrested. The insolvent went by appointment to Mr. Spencer, of Boswell•court, attorney for Mr. Webb, to offer 21. 10s. per month out of his half-pay, when he was met by an officer with " Good morning, Mr. Matthews." Mr. WOODROFFE—And you were arrested ?—ln deed I was. The insolvent further stated, that his wife had not been " sound wind or limb" for the last three years; that he had been endeavouring to get a situation in the St. Katharine Docks, but being above 35 years PRICE 7D. of age, he was not received. Indeed, with all his attempts at economy, he had, much to his misfor tune, been obliged to " cast anchor," for the second time, in this Court.—(Laughter.)—However, had just entered on a commercial situation, when he was arrested. The COURT said that if the insolvent would con sent that 201. a year should be given to his creditors out of his half-pay, the Court Nv ould discharge him, without his going back to prison to obtain the con sent. This was agreed to on the part of the insolvent, and he was then declared entitled to the benefit of the Act. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-MOUSE. The Inspector of the Watch of the Gambill dis trict waited upon the Lon' MaYon., in consequence of the account of a robbery which had taken place at the door of the London Tavern on the preceding day. He stated, that at the time the transaction took place, the Cornhill watch and officers were all at their posts ready for active duty, but Ito applica tion whatever was made to them for assistance. They saw the crowd advancing, but as their assist ance was not at all required, they remained as they were. 1f the slightest intimation had been given to them, they would not have hesitated to render all necessary aid. The LORD Mairon never heard of a more gross outrage in the city of London in his life. Perhaps nothing can give a better idea of the total inadequacy of the City Police to the intended object of their appointment, than the history of this attack upon the company retiring from the enter tainment at the London Tavern. A most despe rate effort was made by an extensive gang of thieves to plunder. The watchmen on their posts observed the crowd and confusion, a robbery is committed under their noses, and they know nothin! , at all, and care nothing at all, about it, but " pad the hoof," as the thieves call the perambulations of the City watchmen, and cry the hour, and are ready to act when called upon. Alderman Wood has long since spoken of the great contrast which the police at the West end of the town exhibits to the public, and the late Lord Mayor described the new plan as fraught with peculiar advantages, it is to be hoped that this occurrence will sharpen the memory of each of those active members, and that immediate mea sures will be taken to improve the City system. The account given of the ineffectual attempt to in duce the new Common Councilman, Mr. Scales, to purchase for more than he considered to be its value the gown of a defunct member, having excited a considerable sensation in the City Parliament, the new legislator addressed a letter to Sir Peter Laurie, in which lie complained that Air. Perry, the late un successful candidate, exhibited the most comely side of the garment, by which he practised upon the cre dulity of the worthy Knight. The letter added that the other side should be duly exhibited in the pre sence of the Lord Mayor. Sir Peter attended at the Justice-room, in order to hear the charge of un dignified conduct brought against Mr. Scales an swered. Mr. Scales, in order to show that he was not behind-hand in politeness, sent one of the most gen tlemanly of his slaughtermen to Mr. Perry, to in form him that he would enter into the necessary explanation before the Chief Magistrate. Sir PETER LAURIE Came to the Justice Room in consequence of the respect he owed a Brother Le gislator, and for the purpose of hearing the two sides of the question. Mr. Scales . was prevented by business, as well as illness, from paying the necessary respect to Sir Peter Laurie's message. He found it now incum bent upon him to come forward, as, wherever he went, some reflection, either jocular or serious, was passed upon him on account of the second-hand garment for which he had refused to give an exorbi tant price ; but although in the afternoon of life, he had no objection to be the cause of mirth to those around him. All he required in return was the op portunity of retaliating, and he thought that would be abundantly supplied to him amongst the Legis lators of whom he had the honour to be one.— (Laughter.)—He assured the Lord Mayor that he had never put on anything for which he had not paid ; and although he thought he had concluded the bargain about the gown, his only object was to perform a benevolent act, and to apply the article as a symbol of terror in his garden, and not to gratify his vanity by hastily decorating his person with the Corporation insignia. The LORD MAYOR thought it rather extraordinary that a man so independent in his circumstances should have been satisfied with a gown which had been worn by a predecessor. Mr. Scales said, the gown happened to be so short behind as not to cover a part which ought, as little as possible, to be exposed.—(Laughter.)— Besides, there were several stains upon it, which ap peared to have been produced by something of the colour of wine. Indeed, this latter objection was the thing which Mr. Peter Perry told him prevented him from making a present of it to his wife; for, however in character, it might be for a Common Councilman's gown to be discoloured with the juice of the grape, such an appearance would not at all become a Common Councilman's lady; so that Mr. Perry did not subject Mrs. Perry to any illiberal observation of the kind.—(Much laughter.) The LORD MAYOR did not consider it necessary to go any further into the contest, singular as it was, about the gown. Mr. Scales stated that when he went to his friend Peter Perry, he found him in the dumps at the loss of his election, cursing the ingratitude of mankind and the hypocrisy of friends. As he (Mr. Scales) happened to be one of the Surveyors of the Roads, and wished that the poor who worked at them should receive pay for their labour, he called upon his friend Perry, who had a large supply of old clothes and shoes, in order to talk to him upon the subject. It was then the old gown was shown to him, and his friend actually thought the guinea he offered adequate pay. When, however, he took it home, and throwing it down, asked his daughters what they thought of it? one of them lifted it with the tongs, and, turning it round, begged to know whether they were not to wipe their feet in it— (Much laughter.)—This was the article about which such a fuss had been made. For his part he should be very sorry to " catch the mantle" from the gene ral run of his brethren, the Common-Councilmen, as it was very seldom it could be said to cover com mon understanding. Sir PETER LAURIE was much amused at this statement, and thought that Mr. Scales was very right in not giving more for the gown than he con sidered to be its value, whether it was intended as a scare-crow in the county or in the city. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The Marquis of Clanricarde attended in person yesterday at this office, before Mr. DYER, the sitting Magistrate, to answer an information preferred against him for not having the snow, &c., cleared and swept away from the foot pavement in front o`. his Lordship's house, in:St. James's-square, on",the day laid in the information, before ten o'clock in the morning. On hearing the nature of the complaint, and the evidence in support of it, his Lordship was per fcctly satisfied, not only as to the truth, but the use fulness of this and similar complaints, and he was quite ready to submit to any decision the Magistrate might make. Mr. DYEa said that it was only usual in such cases, where a conviction takes place, to award a penalty of 55., which sum his Lordship would have to pay. His Lordship immediately paid the fine, and retired. Lord Anson wag convicted in a like penalty for a similar offence at his Lordship's house, in St. James's•square also, and ens of his domestics, who attended, paid the fine. UNION-HALL. Yesterday morning Rosa Rodie, a pretty-looking girl, who stated herself to be only seventeen years of age, appeared to swear that a young Frenchman, named Picarde, was the father of a male infant, to which she had letely given birth. The deponent had been servant in a house kept by Mr. Ross, in the Borough, where the defendant was a lodger. About the latter end of March, or the beginning of April, she was taken by him into a public-house. She had two or three glance of pure rum, which made her quite intoxicated. Afterwards he took her into a house of ill fame, in Blackfriars road, where they were shown into a bed-loom by an elderly female. She remained with him between three and four hours, the greater part of the time they were in bed; in the interim the defendant effected her ruin. The child was born on the 29th of November. Mr. HONE—Were you a virgin at the time ? Deponent—Yes, I was ; it was my first and only time of being connected with a man. Mr. HONE—According to your statement the child is only an right months' child ; and I never heard of one to live before. Deponent—l cannot swear as to the time; but I will swear the defen dant is the father. Mr. HoN!—How many times had Ile connexion with you ? Deponent—l cannot now remember. Mr. Shearman, on behalf of his client, should prove the defendant could not be the father, because he was in confinement at the time the connexion was said to have taken place. AR officer from the King's Bench then produced the return-book of prisoners, by which it appeared the defendant had been arrested for debt on the 27th of February, and was never out of the custody of the officer until the 4th of March, when he was admitted into the Bench, from which he did not depart until the middle of June. Mr. SWABEY to deponent—Do you not think it was in February when you were with the defendant ? Deponent—l cannot remember; I thick it was in March or April. Mr. SWABEY—Most girls would have remem bered not only that day but the hour when such a misfortune had befallen them as that which hap pened to you. Did it never enter your head at the time that you would in all probability be got with child ? Deponent—l did not consider any thing about it, for I was intoxicated—l fainted away when all was over. I solemnly swear the defendant is the father. After some remarks from Mr. Shearman, the Magistrates made an order upon his client for three shillings per week, because the deponent maintained the defendant to be the parent ; and though there was a discrepancy in her statement as to the period of the connexion, yet they thought from being in toxicated, and from her inexperience in such matters, the precise time had escaped her memory. LAMBETHATAXET. Tuesday being the day appointed for the installa tion of the new police in the district of this office, a number of charges were brought in by the police- MARYLEBONE. i men, but they were drunk and disorderly ones, and On Sunday morning John Boyd, a footman out were discharged. o f place, called at the shop of Mr. Emanuel, a clothes A respectable-looking woman named Bryant, the salesman and dealer in old plate, &0., at No. 10, wife of a master chimney-sweeper doing a great dot Marylebone-lane, and offered a broken silver spoon of business, and who resides in Ituydon-square, for sale. Mr. Emanuel, suspecting he had stolen Minories, came to the office to complain of the eon- GUILDHALL A boy, named William Barker, was brought before Sir JOHN PERRING yesterday, charged with attempting to steal some bolts for fastening shutters, from the show-window at Mr. Simmons's, silver smith, in Holborn. The prisoner was committed to Bridewell for three months. save him into the bands of the pollee, end he was examined before Mr. Rawlinson at this office on Monday, and remanded. No person having come forward to claim it Mr. RAWLINION 10101. hiM,hell he was brought up again yesterday, that he might be at large if he gave bail for his appearance ; but before he quitted the dock, a smart young woman stepped forward, and said she had a charge to make against him, for he had stolen her watch, and, under a promise of marriage, which he never made good, he defrauded her of nine sovereigns. Her name Is Caroline Skill, and her story was, that in July last, about the beginning of it, she met the prisoner, for th e first time in her life, in the New-road. He took particular notice of her, and persuaded her to walk into Kensinton-gardens with him, and they after wards drank tea together at Bayswater tea-gardens, and he made marriage overtures to her, which she did not reject. A fortnight afterwards she met him again by appointment, and he then persuaded her to give notice to quit the service of a family in Grand Junction-terrace, Edgeware-road, with whom she lived, that he might marry her. In this instance she visited him at his lodgings, No. 10, Adam-street, Nlarylebone. She took her watch with her that she might be punctual to her time in returning, and, as she left the house he said, " Why do you carry your watch in your hand ? If you have no bag let me put it into my waistcoat pocket; I am going home with you, and I'll give it you before we part." They parted in the Edgeware-road, and she forget to ask him for it, and he did not give it her. At the ex piration of another fortnight they met again away from home. She told him her month's warning would expire on Monday, the 24th of August, and he said if she would come to Adam-street on that night, and sleep with his landlady, he would take her to church on Tuesday morning and make her his wife. She asked him for her watch. He said he had un fortunately left it at horn., but as they were to be married so soon it was of no consequence. They were out-asked- at Marylebone parish church, and on the 24th of August she left her situation, and went to Adam -street. He told her he bad ordered a new suit of clothes to be married in, but he did not know how to get them for want of money. She asked if the tailor would not trust him. He said no, and she lent him nine sovereigns, and went to bed with the landlady. She got up between eight and nine in the morning, and went to his room, and he was gone, and he had taken his things with him. She went to the house of a gentleman in Harley street, whose service he had lately quitted, and the butler told her he had been there at seven o'clock, and had taken his trunk away, and she never saw him again until that morning in the office. The prisoner treated the matter with the most hardened indifference, and as he stood at the bar taunted the young woman for her credulity and haste to get married ; and told the Magistrate he finished his courtship of six weeks by going to Barnet and spending the money, which he declared he did not steal, for she lent it to him that he might appear as a gentleman. The felonious detention of the watch he could not refute, and he stood fully committed for trial respecting it ; but he will be brought up again on Monday that the owner of the spoon may appear against him. Just before the young woman came forward he was complaining to Mr. RAWLINSON of being un justly imprisoned on an unsupported charge, and locked up together with thieves and pickpockets. After her case had been heard, Mr. RAWLINSON told him, much as he professed to dislike the company he had left behind him at the new prison, unfortunately it was his lot to he sent back to them.
