The following melancholy circumstance took place last Monday, at Portishead, In the county of 'Somerset :—A barn belonging to Mr. THOMAS CARRY, fisherman, by some cause unknown, was burnt to the ground ; and his wife, who had been confined some time in the barn, in consequence of her mental derangement, was burnt to death.

Mr.. GAUPw. said, that the Defendant, wits an Attorney, and a very active-man, he was moreover Clerk to another, Attorney, who was likewise a very aCtive man, Mr. Willy, of Basinghall-street. The Defendant and his wife had lodged in the Plaintiff's houSe for aboUt thirty-six weeks, and had been served with coals and some other things that were wan►ed in their lodgings ; and abnut two guineas and a half were lent by the Plaintiff to the Defend ant, and all amounted to about 144 for which this Aftion was brought. He understood that the De fendant was to set up as a defence, that the Lady he lived with, and for whOm, is well as himself, these lodgings were prbvided, was not his wife. He really believed there was no. foundation for this assertion, but that the Defendant, and this 'Lady who lived with him, we're really wedded, and that the Defendant had the bad tasie of slandering both himself and his wife, for the mere &rice of set ting up this bad defence ; be that as it might, he had suffered this Lady to• pass by his name for be. Iween ten and twelve years, as his wife, and there fore the law of the !aortas well as cofiimon sense, made him answerable for whatever was furnished to her ; it was infinitely too silly to dispute thii law, The Plaintiff's daughter proved that the De r fendant and Mrs. Maddock lodged in her father's house about thirty-six weeks ; that the lodgings were charged at first ss. per week, then 6q. which were reduced afterwards to 45. per week, ,but she did not know the dates of these alterations, and therefore the price was taken at an :►verage'of ss. pet week. She proved also that her father lent the Defendant two guineas 'and a half. It appeared a!so that .there were. about 41. worth of ,coals supplied to the , Dclendant.oy, the Plaintiff. Mr. ERSKINE said, he was not such a fool as to maintain any such defence as, h is Learned Friend, Mr. GARROTV had supposed. No doubt but the Defendant was answerable far his wife, ,Or for any body who past as such. The only question there fore was upon the quantum. Mr. GrAandw said, that he understood some niuney had been, paid by the Defendant, and there fore he would only take a verdid for t zl. 11 luJ .was given accordingly. THE !asp Tl. PHILIPS AND ANOTHER. Mr. ERSKINE, said, that this was an Indictment on the prosecution of Mr. Simon Paterson, a.re. speaable tradesman, who sold brandy and other spirituous liquors, in St. Martin's Lane. The De. fendants came from Onford-streeceand theyltad been " Running a Muck," as they called it. They had been fea.ciog‘vith one another : whether they were doing so in jest or in earnest, was matter to be ket6ed between themselves. When „they came op.: po,ite to the it our of the Prosecutor, they broke his window. The prosecutor came .up to theta, and said, "Gentlemen, you have broken my w i n do w ;" on which one of: the 'Defendants said, " What then ?”--" What then said the Prosecutor, ." •expea that you will pay for ii. -Upon which the. DefendantA jUMped at the Prosecutor ; one of them collared and almost throttled him, and the other heat him, in his own house, which ought to have been his asylum, and indeed his CastlO At last the neighbours, hearing and Seeing this sliainefui outrage, came to the Prosecutor'S aid, and the De." Pendants were secured, and condueted toßow-street, where they were charged ; they stated- their names to be Philips, which was afterwards' found to be false : they 'were held to bail upon the charge, and they 'gave iq false names for bail also. Mr. ERSKINE then observed, that 'the prudent course for these Defendants, would have been, either to have pleaded guilty, .or to have - suffered , jtidg„... merit to pass by Default, and then to go before the Master of the Crown Office, to abide by his. order ; before whom, most likely, the Court' iVoUld order them to go, when they came up for judgm'eL 'in the' mean tithe,'uniess Running a Muck in this man. ner, was part of the antient laiv'of this realm, the Defendants must be foUnti.guilty.' This' case was proved in eviderice, as it was opened, and therefore the Defendants were found guilty. The Prosecutor said, that the Defendants had offered a submission to him--he was ready 'to ac. cept their apology, provided 'Ley paid a eel grin sum for the use of the Pobr of tie 'parish ; but he was determined to make an example of them. IVIr.CURWOOD Said, that upon this evidence, he could not attempt to justify tbe conduct of his Clients, hut there were solneeirectinstancefof miti gation which he should have the hohOur of sub mitting to the Court when they came op for judg.' Incur. Lord ELLENBOROUGH SJUI, that if the De. fendants f were wise, they would endeavour to make their peace with the Prosecutor, so as not to be brought up at all for judgment. Several Indiaments, which stood in the Paper, were called on, but the Prosecutors not appearing the,Defendants were found not guilty. ARCHBUT v. GUYER. This was angtion for an assault. Plaintiff and Defendant .140 in the same house, and there was a squabble, between them for rent, in which the Plaintiff's wife attempted to strike the De. fendant, but missed him ; the Defendant struck her and gave her a black eye, and her face bled. The Jury assessed the damages at t sl. Several Causes were then called on, in which the Parties were obliged to withdraw their Records, upon whiCh Lord ELLENBOROUCH observed, that from the turn which some of the Indiatnents had ,taken, the Parties in some of the Civil Aetions might have expeeted that their Causes would not come on, and had therefore speculated 'won the matter. This .was not an allowable speculation ; but under all the circumstances, his.
