ether property, bad been staler, Search being
made, a men was discovered in a jungle, ou whom
were found two rupees. a stocking, a tooth-pick
case, and hard by the hoz which was missing. The
box had been forced open, and its contents re-
moved. The man thus discovered dented any
knowledge or the property, and stated that he had
picked up the two rupees. the stocking and tooth-
pick case. acLidentally. He was, however, secured
and conveyed away to the Prisoner's tent, his hands
being tied behind his hack. The fact of the rob-
bery was proved by a boy, the nephew of the Pri-
soner. who had conveyed a box to his house, in the

neighbouring village. opened and extracted its con-
tenta, part of which consisted of about 480 rupees
in cash. Thos the boy saw him take from the box,
and wrap up into a piece of cloth : in short, the fact
of the robin ry was clearly established.
Failing to induce the man to divulge what he
knew of the property, the Prisoner ordered him to
be brought to the front of his tent, where he beat
kith society with a stick, which was described as
oboist the length and thickness of a common ruler;
indietiug some twenty or thirty blows on his arms
and shoulders. The man still persisting in his re-
fusal to tell where the property might be found,
the Prisoner ordered him inside of his tent, where
he gave him a second beating. The man then
informed the Prisoner that the property was at a
village, a 'short distance from the tent; but on
going thither the property was not to be found.
boon after this, the man informed the Prisoner that
the property was at snottier place, about a coal
distance, where the Prisoner ordered him to pro-
ceed, attended by the Prisoner's 'emote, intend-
ing to follow them himself ; that when about 100
yards from the tent the man fell. and soon after
fainted, from weakness and the flogging he had
received; that whilst in this situation the dobee of
Mr. Moody began to flog the man with • large
whip, whilst the Prisoner gave him several kicks
ow the sides, the man all the while iu vain call-
ing for mercy; that the Prisoner then ordered the
man to be brought hack to the tent, where he
again beat the man, who died immediately alter.
The next morning the Prisoner ordered his peon.
cook, and bearer, to sew the body up, and throw it
into the jungle. The body V 1.1.1 nccorilingly co-
vered with a cannaught. placed on a camel. suit
afterwards thrown into the jungle.
The Prisoner having applied after the commis-
sion of the robbery to two &minders. for the re-
covery of his property, they having witnessed the
Prisoner's to verity towards the deceased, desired
Dome of their pirople to keep an eye upon the party,
by which means the hotly was discovered. The
death and removal of the body were proved by the
Prisoner's servants, who Lad been employed in
carrying it into the jungle.
Mr. Moody being called on for his defence, ad-
dressed himself to the Court and Jury as follows:
" The reason why I ordered the dead body to be
rolled up in the tent. and carried away upon the
camel, was to prevent a riot, which I feared might
take place. should the body be seen, as the whole
village seemed alarmed, and were assembled near
the tent. The reason of my ehastiring the man
was to make him restore the property ; conse-
quently his death was the last thing that I could
have intended; as it did in the event prevent my
recovering the property. The deceased was no
servant of mine. I never sow him before that day.'
I did not strike himiu any vital part, but about the
Pints and hack. The dtioie, my servant, beat limit
in my absence very erverely, in a miniver enough
to kill him, w:iich I did tint know of. On the .2111
Of Oct , proceedings were had before the Tassuldnr
at Psuiiipitt. and I desired that lie would and •t
them to Mr. titian. which lie said he would do ; and
on my arrival at Ludientiali and j • • g my corps,
I wrote to the conunmiding officer, giving an ac-
count of what had happened. I did not kisser that
the man was dying ; I was silting in my tent when
I was told hr was dead. I immediately ordered
him to he isollonnd and placed upon a chair. The
blow. which I gave the deceased could not leive
occasioned his death. 1 struck him io no vital
part."
The Jury, after deliberating for some time, re-
butted a verdict of—Manslaughter.

THE DEBATK OF 7HE 29th LAST.

[From use StaffPrdshire Adeeriiker.l

The debate on the ocith ult. considering it as a
departure from all preeedeut, has exhibited—we
were going to say Hit Majesty's Ministers, in their
true colour. Mr. Yorke said, in effect, that all
ge good thins winch they had been doing. would,
in the case of • Regency, be overturned—diet the
Prince of Wales, though he had a rery high opinion
of hiss, would cut up their system of policy, root
and branch. Bat Mr. Yorke, in speaking of that
part of the political community which have al-
ways advocated the principles of the Prince,
gave them credit for any thing but wicked and un-
constitutionel views. Such has been the blind and
blundering folly of Mr. Yorke, that he would allow
no other subject of the realm to differ in opiuion
from him with impunity. Even such • erselung
hod coutemptible t eptiie as Uale Jones, could uut
escape the foot of our annihilating champinu of
Royalty. This frivolous and effeminate losblilet,'

The Rebate altogether gave rise to less argument
than might have been expeciod. General Mathew

called the Ministers a stet of idiots ? This was per
haps more than any person out of the House, hav-
ing the far V the Attorney-General before his
eyes, would have Ventured to have door. Whe-
ther it was owing to the existing eireumstanees,
which gave this remark a peculiar application. we
know not, but the House only indulged in a laugh
on the occasion. When, however. the same Speaker
said that Ministers possessed so respectability,
he was called to order! This reminds us of those
satirists of the fair sex, who assert that you may
call a woman a fool, and impeach her morals, with
kinpunity ; but if you bawd a remark tinfavour-
tible to her person, you would be out of order with
a vengeance !

In the House of Lords, the Grenville, took fire
at a remark by Lord Ilarrowhy, and, some alter-
cation was indulged in. The Regency. the Noble
Earl said. would "set aside the King." With de-
ference we conceive this to be incorrect. The
King is rather already set aside by those circum•
stances which disable hint (rain executing the
functions of his office ; ■nd a Regency supplies,
