A Coroner's Inquest was held on Morkday after- IMOD on the bodies of the twa watchmen, Situp son and Leigh, who lost their lives by falling from the parapet into the Debtors' • yard, New gate. It appeared that they had the watch at the top of the Debtors' prison on Sunday night, and it is supposed one of them:, Simpson, first mistook his way, and walked over the wall, and. that the other, Leigh., in endeavouring - to save his companion, met :the same fate. Amoriglhe speCtators at the baiting of thaßache, lor's Bull, at Windsor, on Monday, were the. Duke of LEINSTER, Marquis of DOWNSMRE, Earl Ux.-. BRIDGE, FLETCHER REED, Esq. 10116 t Of the OfliCtilt of the Stafford Militia, and a number of young Geu tit tlemen belonging to Eton School. A number of the Most celebrated Pugilists were -also present ; among them were Joe Ward, 'Will. Ward, Gully, J. Belcher, Caleb Baldwin, Jacklin, and a - riutriller of others. The attendance of these. professors- was not merely to behold the bull-bait, but to enjoy a more refined . and fushionabk amusement, a pitched battle „having been appointed to be fought on the Bache ' lor's Acre, between a fishmonger of the name of Coombe, and a butcher,.beth from London; but the' fighfwas prevented by the interfereuceof the Mayor. CHARLES KNIGHT, Esq. But the amateurs of the art were not to be deprived' of their amusement ; they remained in 'Windsor during Monday night, and yes- terday morning the parties, with their friends, and a great concourse (4' various descriptions of persons, went upon'Datchet Common, when, after thirty two rounds of hard fighting, which lasted fifty-tive miuutes, vi&ory was declared in favour of the fish monger ; Jacklin was his second. The Butcher was seconded by Cribb. The yowl° . Gentlemen raised a very liberal subscription purse for the vietor.• SWINDLING.—The following curious swindling transadion took place last week :—A genteel elderly woman, and her daughter, about twelve years of age, took lodgings at Hackney, a short time since, in a very respectable house, where they lived in to lerable stile. Having contrived to convince the,dif terent tradesmen of their respetiatility, , the daugh ter was busily employed to find out at what ware houses in London they dealt, and she, by the 'most artful means, accomplished her purpose. France, `tallow-chandler, of Shoreditch, was the) first object ,of plunder. This .accomplished young .Lady was dispatched by her virtuous mother with:. the compliments of Mr. Steele, a shopkeeper, - at Hackney, requesting Mr. France would pay for _a quantity of tea which she had ordered at the quest of Mr. Steele, at a warehouse in Menu runt Yard, adding, that a porter would bring it in the course of an hour, with a bill 'of the amount; and that Mr. S. would be in town in the afternoon and repay him. Mr. France, not doubt- in t ,o the story,2especially as it was told by-$o young lady, and Mr. S. constantly dealing at his shop, coil sented, without hesitation. About two hours ,after wards, 'a man came as a porter, brought a parcel, and - . a hill of the shop specifying the amount, which Mr. France immediately discharged. Mr. S. not calling in the afternoon, Mr. F. opened the packet, when, lo ! to his great astonishment, he found it contained only sawdust and rubbish, but exaelly the weight as specified in the account delivered. Mr. France, on ;the following morning, went to Hackney, and-in formed his customer of the circumstance, hut found. the ladies had decamped, leaving mar y tradesmen - there to lament their absence. . It is, undoubtedly, a very spirited and laudable aCt in many of our merchants to have already made rich ventures to Buenos Ayres.' It is equally cer tain, in order to avoid the - many contingencies of a long voyage, that it is wise and politic . to .embrace any favourable opportunity of making rich adven tures at home. The slightest view of the present • great Lottery Schein is sufficient to evince, that it is a a Potosi, in itself. LAW REPORT, COUgT OF KlNG's BENCH, Nbv. THE KING V. GEORGE M. DANCE, GENT. The Defendant in this case was brought up. for judgment, for...publishing; various lib . against Sic .M. M. Lope-4,:13art.,;. the particulars .of ,which we • gave in a limner Paper,. - when an application , was made fora criminal information, last Easter Term,. This • information was. tried before Nr. Baron , TatompsoN, at the last Spring Assizes ~for the County of Devon, and the Defendant was • found Quiity - . The libels upon which be was coniviaed were contained in various letters to the Prosecutor, to Lady Lopez, and some of their relations, couched in the most gross, obscene,- and abusive language, accusing the prosecutor of beina.,the means of his ruin, charging him with cowardice as an Officer commanding a Volunteer Corps, and lavishing the most shameful epithets upon Lady Lopez and other -branches of the tinnily, with which he himself was connected. He also published a sort of hand-bill, wherein the charaaer of the Prosecutor was further vilified and abused, in which he used the epithets of " Jew . and Pig;" making comparisons be, tween the Prosecutor, and a Jew, a Pig„ and a Chris tian, Sze. Mr. Jr.at.yr.,. for the Prosecution,' observed, that these libels were , suet] a tissue of ribaldry. and - ob scenity, he did(tiot wish to offend the ears of the Conn by repeating them. • . Theaffidavits of the Defendant and his Attorney represented , the former to be in a very weak state of mind, an&i Whenever the subjea of his trans aaions with. the Prosecutor was mentioned, he -be came:qiiite deranged, and bereft of every power,. of thinking .or aaing for him Self.: He had been misled and mistaken with respea to the Prosecu-' tor's 'conduct .towards him, for he, imagined that he had been the cause of his pain, by withholding pecuniary aid, from him, which be thought himself entitled to by right. From the, very heavy expellee this .Prosecution had involved him in, he was totally ruined, and from the deranged state of his mind he was unable to manage or attend to his business. He ex.pressed the greatest sorrow for his•offence, and offered to make every reparation- id his power to the Prosecutor. Some letters•were then , produced on the - part of the. Prosecutor, and a former affidavit made by the Defendant. - The letters were written by the. Defendant,tathe Prosecutor since his conviction, and contained matter of libel and malevolence, one con cluding with " your enemy till death, G. M. D." , Mr.ljaaartea addressed the Court on behalf of the Defendant. He - observed, that the conclu& of the Prosecutor towards this unfortunate tiara, with regard to pecuniary transaaions, had aaually deranged hi 3 mind ; br, at least, from a misconception of that condua, he had been disordered. in his faculties, and unable longer to attend to hiS proleSsiOn as an attor ney. He was in a state of absolute poverty, with a wife and large family ; and although it wasimpos sible to justify the offence, he truSted, situated as he was;. the Court would temperjustiee, with mercy. • 7• Mr. , .GitititoW and Mr. JEKYL; for the PrOsecu tion, said, that this was not the first case in which tlit# Court had had a difficulty todistinguish between downrig,ht malice and' a deranged state of Mind.— This Defendant, doWn to the last moment, had re peated those abominable libels, and attacked a most respeaable gentleman's character in every part that, in - a an, could be vulnerable. He had stated his derangement of mind; but if that was actually the flia, he might hare given much better proof of it ; if it was madness; it was that kind of madnesiwhich bad much method in it ; and the whole bad been contrived and practised for the purpose of extorting, money frorri this Gentleman: Lord ELLENBORoUGH observed, that the language of the Defendant in these libels was the most abo minably indecent,. and the most malevolent, he had ever. heard.. - The Court, then directed him to be. committed to Newgate, and. brought up for final judgment on the last day of the term. s THE KING V. SIR C►.IARLRS Pf. BLUNT, BART. Mr. IIgYAN moNed to enlarge the rule for filing a criminal information against the Defendant, in this case, who stood charged by a Mr..Cripa with en deavouring to provoke him to send a challenge to fight a duel, as mentioned in one of our former Pa pers. The Defendant being out of the kingdom, the Rule coaild not be served, and it became neces sary to male this application. • The Court granted the Rule accordingly. • THR KING V. JOSEPH SECAR, OENRY FRAQUE, JOHN SECAR, AND ANOTHER. 'All the Defendants in • this case, except John Se " Ear, were. brought up for judgment. They had been lindiEted the last Assizes for the County of Surrey, • held at Guildford, for a conspiracy, an assault, and . false imprisonment, upon Francis Attywood. • All the Defendants; • except Sohn ' Secar, „were found guilty of the assault and false imprisonment, but acquitted of the -conspiracy... John Secar was ac-. quitted of all. the charges in the Indictment. This was a case of rather - a singular nature, in which the-proceedings of Parish Officers, with re sped to paupers and bastard children, waiparticular ly concerned. • • It appeared from the Judge's notes, who tried the Cause, and from other circumstances. of the case, that one Charlotte Field, a pauper, of the parish of Wallington - , in the county of Surrey, a girl of about xighteen years of age, Caine before the •Magistrates of the District of Croydon, and swore herself with child of a bastard child, by Franci3 Attywood; also a pauper of the same parish, then about nineteen years old. It turned oat afterwards, that. although every symptom and appearance led to that` conclusion, yet she was not at that time 'in a state of pregnancy. The DefendantS, as overseers of the parish, took Attywood into custody, and confined him in order to compel him to marry the girl. To this he uniformly declared his aversion, and endea voured.to escape, but in vain. He was brought be -fore one clergyman - and another, to have the rnarriaoe performed.; but in 'consequence of his ,being un d er age, the Rev. Gentlemen feltised to execute the office until the banns should- be regularly published or the parents 0.40u1d consent to their union. While in the a& of walking to the clergyman's resideae,-,, he Was sometimes handcuffed to one of - the parr} -- He was kept in close tetifileinent for the space of .three weeks, until, the banns should be regularly• published, during which time . he was fed well,. and had plenty to eat and drink. and was supplied. with brandy, and other liquors, abundantly, , " I-le would have endeavoured to escape, some one or' other always remained. in the' room, as a watch over him. At the expiration of the three weeks he was forced to chureh,. , and there the- marriage ceremony was regularly celebrated. The new-married couple. — were brought - home, and - a plentiful' supper pro vided ; but he still expressed his dislike and dis:; gust towards his rib, and declared he would not be compelled to consummate the marriage rites. He however, forced into the bed-chamber, and locked in • he sat up' all night, and at one time en deavouredtd make his escape through the witidoW; but thiS was' fastened, and. he was obliged fo,ferriaini there till released the next morning. It appeared; that an anion at laW, for recovery of damages for false imprisonment, as well. as the indiament, had: been instituted under the direaion of the Magistrate 4" belonging to the distri& The former,, however,' was now declared to be stopped. Mr. GARROW, for the Defendants,- tan& a fens •• obser . vat'ions,' and thought it a very common where a young man had prit a young woman with' child,• the Parish Officers should endeaiOur to 'acs- .- comintidate_ matters in the best manlier; in this" case; both parties being paupers, they concluded. diatmairitnotiy would be the beSt method. Mr% Serjeant BEST and Mr. Net,' 4 06', fin- the pro- - secutioni, adthitted, that the- acquital of the Defend-' ants, on the charge of a conspiracy, wa' perfeetly right ;. but when the young man had been so as-,- saulted and falsely imprisoned for three weeks, and afterwards`ferced to, marry a woman who'll he de tested, it was serious matter for the ConsideratiOn'ur the Ciirt. Mr. Justice GitbsE, in pronOnncing the sentence, - of the Cotixt, obServed, that had the Defendants been convided of the tir't part of the charge, naMe. the conspini , :y to forge; a Verson to marry :Inothcr . against hi 4 inclipation, their puniShment must have . been severe. Divas they now stood convicted of It commowassault and 'false im meat,' the COurt. • Must a& accordingly, They Avotzld not, howes'er,.. forget the mode in . • Which this assault and imprison-, went was ; as Parish . Officers, they, instead.' of aEting - as they had done, 61tould have set a,, , ,, , g0d example. Under all the circumstances,' the COtitt - • ordered and adjudged, that they should . be imprisciu ed in the County Gaol o Surrey, in HOrsemonger lane, for the space of siSTs'Ve4S, • and be theii charged. COCK V. nip-ANTON. Mr. GAZEL ES moved the Court, that the De fendant should 'be discharged in this case. The Defendant had been a Member - of the late Parlia- Ment, and was arrested by the Plaintiff between the .29t1 day of Odober, on which day the Parliament was dissolved, and the ad of November, when the. Eledion for the town of Dover was appointed, which place the Defendont had before represet:ted, and was • againgoing doWn to over himself as a Candidate. The Learned Connsel cited some cases • in point, and the Court granted 'I -conditional rule.
