11ARLCOYOUl:1!-fT[R[T. SEPT. VO.

MISS LATHAM AND MR. BARRETT.
The !parties were notified to appear before the
Magistrates this day.
At one o'clock, Mr. Barrett, accompanied by his
Counsel, Mr. Alley, and u utimber of friniiik, at-
tended.

At half past one, Miss Latham not rippeering,
nor any person fur her, to follow up the prosecution,
Mr. Nava addressed Mr. Barrett, and observed,
he felt extremely colaiteraed, that his
situation required of him to demand that attend-
ance. for the purpose of rrbuttitig a charge, the
fallacy of which he was long since persuaded of.
The conviction of Mr. Barrett's innocence of the
enormous offence was now, if possible, heightelied,
by ►he Prosecutrix not appearing. Cinder this
conviction, Mr. Barrett's attendance at that office
was no longer necessary, and his bail were dis-
charged from their sureties."
Mr. A t.i.er stated, he would not be doieg his
duty it• he did not express die gratitude of loir cli-
ent for the mild treatment he had received from
the Worthy Magistrate, diming this moat disgrace-
ful transaction. On the part of Mr. Barrett, he had
to retorts his thanks. Although all the Municipal
Benches did credit to themselves, and honour to
their country, yet Mr. Barrett might have met dif-
ferent treatment, and have been participating in all
the horrors of a prison, upon the presumptive evi-
dence of this unfortunate young lady. He wished
that she had come forward this doe, and bare made
the only recompense in her power, by rliewiiig her
coutritiou, wool ai know ledging she was taken in
the person of Mr. Barrett ; but, as the had not
thought proper to do this, he trusted the worthy
Magistrate would turnish him with a transcript of
the deposition taken on the first esausivatiou, so
the S.•rj-ant Beer, when lie arrived in town, and
himself, if they thought it adviars.ile, might pre-
fer an todictineut fur perjury, of which that would
form the ground.
Mr. N►ve observed, the rulm of the Office did
tin: sit Lilt of such an accommodation. It was coin-
peteut fur the aei•i►aiog party to subpiems the Ma-
gistrate on the trial, to attest tne statement of the
young Ludy before him, wind, would answer all
thi ends .of jostoce. Ha, therefore, declined acced-
ing to the request of the Learned Counsel.
.MM►. A eeLe elated. ho acknowledged that the
authorities of the Court of Kiug'il Bench were along
with the Worthy Magistrate; mid he again ex.
pressed his Client's gratitude for the humanity and
politeness which had been *hewn to him.
Mr. Nave then observed, that, with respect to
his motive for desiring another attendance of the
parties at the °ibis., it was in coweequeisce of some
information brought from Worthing by an Officer
of the name of Craig, tending to throw some light
upon this mysterious transaction. The stt;tateoce
of which was, that he had learnt, from the ostler
of the ‘Vhite Hart Lavery-stabler, that Mr.
Barrett had left his horse there on the 7th
of July, and that the ostler returned the horse
to Mr. Barrett on the 10th, ■nd saw loin mount
him. Also. that the postman had suet Mr. soil
Mrs. Barrett walking togethe► on the suer gof
the 9th of July. at Worthing. These were
stances so far corroborative of Miss L0W11.6 B,s
count of the appearance of Mr. Barrette:li the 10th
of July, that lie. Mr. Nave, thought it necessary
to obta n another exaintiontioir, and interrogate thr.
postman and ostler ; but their evidence was so far
from being as represented, that the ostler could
not identify Mr. Barrett's person ; and the post-
man was uncertain, whether it war Sunday, the 2d,
or Sunday. the 9th of July, he met Mr. and Mrs.
Barrett walking together. It was in cousequenee,
therefore, of this imperfectness in the corroboration
of the Prosecntrix's story, joined to the additional
proof of the alibi produced by Mr. Barrett, that he
was induced to dismiss at once all doubt of his in-
nocence.
Mr. Barrett was accordingly discharged.

Several persons were summoned by Mr Martin, saveyese
of the roads, for riding mad driving on the foeopath in the
Kest road, and bard ss. each. Amongst than was is gentle.
men, named Cobham, who complained of h4ring heal vio-
lently assaulted by Merin', as he was riding in imainuy
with a friend, along the Kent road, OD We:dismay, the ordli
instant. Mr. Marini, it appeared, came up to him, cud,
without saving • word, seised his bridle. and outwit his
horse over the heady be then demanded Mr. Cobham's ad-
dreier, leach that gentleman, not knowing him, refereed to
give, and desired to see Mr 1141.tin'a authority for detain-
in: him salad oaf Atelier his authority, he struck Mr.
Cobham wit► • large stick, with which he bad just before
beaten the horse. A person, minted Won,l, was atesuling by,
who a-so eased Mr. Coble:era's bridle, and assisted i• detain-
ing him.
This statement of Mr. Cobham was supported by Mr.
Sandclr, the gentlemen who was with Site,, wbu also stated
that Mr. Maim seised Mr Cobham's horse, sad struck at
him, before he spoke • word. -
Mr. Marlin denied having struck at Mr. Cobham till after
he was himself assaulted ; he told the 'make:eau who be
was, and why he nem:ended his address, which, he refusing
to give, Mr. Mai tie contended he was justified, uudcr the Act
of Prirliaysest, in detaining him.
The Magistrate observed, that Mr. Martin had been wore
violent than upright in the exercise of his email ih, and he
should certainly hold him to bail for the assault. It opia,ir-
lag, however, that Mr. Cobham and hie blend were riding
ou the footpath, the penalty must he enforced agaisat theta.
