yea,—You will, I hope, give a place to a few remarks on
ihis pamphlet, as you will find that it is entirely argu-
mentative, and totally devoid of that virulence which, I
am terry to say, Ilan characterised must of the slisonei nit,
both Sidi% of the question, with regard to West Indian
matters. The ammo< tits which it employs are grouthied

The work commenees by stating, that it has bent' the
policy of Great Britain, for comities, to t ncourage her
West Indian Colonies; and that this cncouragoment has
induced British suldeets to invest from 109 to ISO millions
sterling in prop. sty in the West lodes: win rice it follows,

Joh. Casey and Joh. Marsh were indicted for robbing Martha
Hopkins on the Ring's highway.
Martha Hopkins examined.-1 live in the pig-market at Ahing.

last. 1 left ()third, to return to Abingdon, at half-past 11 in the
day. I came along a footpath near the turnpike road, but acme
fields. I know the prisoners. The prisoners followed me, and
asked me where I was going. I said to Abingdon. They wished
nit to go with them, and I refused. The prisoner .harsh then
caught hold of me, and soon after the other did the same, and I fell
into a ditch. and was " snared" (stunned); and the prisoner with
the wooden leg (Casey) got over the hedge, and the other (31arsh)
got into the ditch, and threw me over the hedge. (The witness
here described an assault committed an her by the prisoner Marsh.)
I then ran away, and Casey followed me, and threatened to kill
me. He pulled my gown up, and then he took my pocket off.
The 'prisoner with the wooden leg took 2s. nut of my pocket. The
twit time I saw the money it was in his right hand I asked him
for the' s; he would not give it me. I tied my pocket on again.
lie then pulled my bonnet off, and threw it °Yet the hedge. The
wooden legged one kicked one twice, and gave me three blows on
the side of the head. I should have been killed if it had not been
for an old man coining. Casey pulled a pen-knife out, and swore
he would cut my arm off Ile scratched the back of my hand with
the point of the knife. He attempted to cut me. I ran away when
the old wean Mlle along. I then Jumped over a high bask. They
caught hold of me, and tore sty gown. 1 bonnets! out " mar.
der 1" manfully. They used me very ill indeed. I told the old
gentleman how they served me. I never got the money again.
Craw-examined by Mr. SHE pH ra D.— I never sent any one to
Paha it up; but the brother at Casey wished me to do so. The
old man's manic is Hunt. lie said, " 1 think these men are fol.
lowing you." This was near the turnpike. This is the regular
footpath to Oxford. It was market day, and this was near the
middle of the day. The old man came up while they were serving
me nut so, and said he would fetch the constable. The prisoners
charged me with stealing a sovereign. I tried to master him
(Cases), and get the two shillings back, hut I could not, and he
would not give them to me. I hail three black feathers in my bon-
net, but I took them out before I went before the 'Mules-11ot
'ul Oxford. The Vice-I liancellor's lady told me to take them out,
and I did so. 1 get my living by going nut hay-making. I don't
live in Bury.lat.e. In winter I get my living by spinning at the
foot-wheeL (That is a machine used in spinning hens's, and has
nothing to do with 31r. ('ubiti's ingenious invention.) I went to
see Sarah Spokes. I don't know where she lives. but I inquired of
several people in the streets. I wanted to get ino service. I never
was in service before to be out at nights. only work in the day time.
I In going out of (hfind, before I got Into the fields, I met two Lao.
men, an old man, and a hay rick. (A laugh.)
William hunt examined.-1 was at (hfurd on Saturday last;

Ignher. They walked fast, and were won out of my sight. About
half way between the turnpike-mad and my Mouse there is a rick.
yard ; and when I got within HMI yards of the ricks I heard sonic
'one cry nut. I then heard a noise of loud talking, and 1 raw the
prosecutrix jump over a hedge into the ditch, and run to me, and
said she had been very ill-uteri by two men. I said, " You had no
business there with two men." To this she n.ade no reply, Lut said
she should 10 to Abingdon and fetch her father and mother, and
have them taken up, and she went away towards Abingdon.
Cross-examined.—The one who went away with her with his
hand on her shoulder was the prisoner Marsh. She went willirgly
away. I did not observe them long, as it was no business of mine.
James Fletcher catmint:ill—l an a labourer. I saw the parties
and Mr. Hunt, who pointed to the men and girl, and said he
thought there would be a pitched battle. 1 followed than down a
ground to see. I gut over a hedge. I did not know what Alt.
Hunt meant by a pitched battle. I saw Marsh and Casey come
through a gate. I asked them what business they had there, and
Marsh answered, lie had as much business there as I had. Ile
asked if the premises were mine. 1 said—" No, my uncle's." Ile
asked if I had any demand on him. I said, none; and he threat.
ened to blow my beains out, and then said, the woman has picked
my pocket of • sovereign. I Laid, if she has done so I will go with
you and assist 'you in getting it again. They made no reply, and
went away. I soon OVCRIVIAL Mr. Hunt and the and 1 told her
of the charge they made against her. She was crying, and .aid she
had not gut a farthing, and she untied her pockets to show me, but
I did taut look at them, She kept on crying, and said she would
fetch' her father and mother. I saw a handful of sovereigns to the
hand of Casey when the other asked me if I had any demand.
The prisoner Marsh stated, in his defence, that the limits-unix
accosted him in the streets of Oxford, and asked him to go with her
to Abingdon, as girls like her were not allowed itt Oxford, and that
they walked together; but finding that he had no money and Casey
had, she left hint and went with Casey, and be never saw bar agaia
till he was in custody before the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford.
The other prisoner told nearly the same story as the preasentria
did in her evidence, except that he denied the robbery, and said he'
gave her a sovereign instead of a half sovereign, and she would eat
return it. but she at list threw the sovereign away, and he picked
it up. Ile stated himself to be a licensed hawker, and that hearing
there was a warrant out against him he went to the constable and
surrendered himself.
Mr. SHEPHERD, for the prisoners, was proceeding to evil wit.
nesting t but the Jury wished to ask Fletcher whether the prisoners
and girl were walking side by side sociably together. He answered
in the affirmative; and ths Jury said they were quite satisfied, and
would not trouble his Lordship w Lam up the es.dence.

tract bound him to pay over into the banker's handy all sums re-

peel in error, and could haruly be considered to come within die
limits of that stipulation. Every whet shilling of the receipts ot
the Opera Ilene had been paid over to the bickers. All the le-

Alien had deice could not be construed into any kind of misconduct.
His office was to take care of the proceeds of the theatre, and apply
them to the proper purposes. There was no pretence that he had
intended to apply them to any other purposes, and therefore Mr.
Eton was enteltd to have Mr. Allen restored for his own safety,

advise those who were about to make contracts respecting diem, to
subscribe to such auditions only as they Could airerwalda be wil-

days, when the Operuthouse was in dispute, and it was refereed to
one of the Muter, in Chancery to determ!ne the reasosablenue of
the engagements of the perfumers. One of the most salve and

he believed, to any good purpose. He was finally obliged to send.

an opinion that equity could do anything tor them. If they signed
toadish or improvident contracts at the Opera-house, they thought
there was somebody in a room in Chancerv.lane or Lincoln's Inn
who could extricate them from all the difficulties in which they
had involved themselves. But he really had no such power, and
he wished them to understand so. Where a party could show that
he was deceived by some false or fraudulent statement ioto a con-
tract he would not otherwise have entered into, he might have re.

themselves to the consequences of such improvident bargains as
that between the parties in this case, he (the lord Char cellar)
could not interfere. Mr. Ebers had some reruns toe not suffering
the state of the concern to be known, and Signor Benelli, acting
under the advice of wine very able professional
