ADMIRALTY SESSIONS.
MONDAY, DECEM011;11.
this morning, at nine o'clock, • Commission for
the trial eat offence• no the High Seas, within the
jurisdiction of the Admiralty of Etiglntid, was
opened at Justice Hall, in the Old Bailey, before
the Right Hon. Lord Stuwell, Mr. Justices Hol-
royd and Burrough, &c.
The Commission having been read, the Grand
Jury were sworn, and Lord STOWELL addressed
them in nearly the folln•uig terms :
" Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, you are sum-
mooed here es the grand inquest, under it com-
mission for inquiring into offences committed on the '
high seas, within the very extensive jurisdiction of
the Admiralty of England, and I sin called upon
by law to address you, but a very few observa-
tions from me will be sufficient upon this oc-
casion, and for two reasons—first, that yon
are acquainted with the nature of the duties
you are called upon to perform ; and next, the
very ►mall number of cases which are to come
before you. And here, Oentlemeu, I must ob-
serve, it is a most gratifying circumstance. Out in
a jurisdiction so enormously extensive as that of the
Admiralty of England, so few offences should come
wider she notice of this Court. There're tem bills
to be presented to you, line, charging two indivi-
duals with the commission of a crime so horrible in
its ',ewe, that I cannot drsigaate it better than iu
the language of our law—is a crime not be be
mulled among Cluistians." To this you will give
your scrupulous attention, and, if there is evidence
to raise a presumption, that the crime has been
committed, you will do well to send it before a
Petty Jury, in order that it may be minutely inves-
" There is another offence of • very grave nature,
and which, if proved, will •mount to a capital
felony : it is that of attempting to destroy • ship
while on the high sees; an offence, Gentlemen, as
you must be aware, of the highest consequence, as
affecting the mercantile interests of the country, and
the safety of his Majesty's subject. engaged iii that
important branch of its commerce, the merchant
service. This, Gentlemen, is a case deserving your
most serious consideration, and having made these
remarks, 1 have only to recommend von to retire to
the performance of your duties.°

A NCI P.NT PRIVILEGES.
When the names of thy gentlemen summoned
to berve nu the Petty Jury were oboist to be called
over— _

Mr. BOLLAND rose to address the Court, and
said, he appeared on behalf of the inhibitants of
the precinct of Whitefriers, several of whom, to
the number of 16, had been summoned to serve as
Jurors under this Commlssion, for the purpose of
claiming exemption from such service. As their
Lordships well knew, that precinct, up to the dii-
solution of the monasteries, in the reign of
Henry VIII. wes inhabited, exclusively, by reli-
gious persons of the older of Whitelriars, who of
course were exempted from any service of this
kind. When the dissolution of the monasteries
took place, the precinct ass oc( pined by lay inha-
bitants, to whom, in a charter subsequently granted
to the City of London, several exclusive privileges
were awarded—such as exemption from serving as
constables, and in other parochial of Tres. In the
charter granted to the City by Charles 11. these pri-
vileges were again included; and in a subsequent
one, in the reign of Charles 11., conferring more
extensive immunities upon the City of London, that
portion of the charter of James 11. relattiiir to the
inhabitants of Wintefriars, was retained. No men-
tion was mode iu these charters of the office of Jurors;
but the inhabitants conceived, that they were ex-
empt from this as well as all other offices; and they
claimed the exemption, not only upon the ground
that it must have been the intention of the charter
to include this among other offices ; but also, on
that of immemorial usage, this being the first time
that any inhabitants of that precinct had been
required to serve as Jurors in this or any other
Court. Hr lied so lately ►eceived his instructions,
that he had not had an opportunity of making such
research as he would wish to have done ; but there
was a MS. work in the possession of the Society of
the Inner Temple, called The Book of Decrees, in
which it appeared, that in the 7th year of the reign
of William 111. • cause was tried, in which were
two issuni, viz.—whether the precincts of Black-
friars and Whitefriars were in the parish of St. Dun-
stan, ants whether they were in the City of London ;
and the finding wes, that they were neither in St.
Dunstan's, nor in London, but were distinct and
separate precincts. The Learned Gentleman added,
that the persons summoned were in attendance, end
prepared to serve, if their Lordships should be of
opinion that they were liable; but they had felt it
their duty first to make this application to the
Court, in support of an important privilege to
which they considered themselves entitled.

Lord STOWILL asked Mr. Shelton if there would
be Jurors sufficient without the Gentlemen sum-
moned tom Whitefriars, and was answered in the
affirmative. His Lordship consulted with
the other Judges, said We will tint call upon
these Gibntlemen to serve now ; but this must not
be considered as en allowance of their claim of
exemption. We do not decide upon the question
now."

The Grand Jury came into Court with true
bills for the misdemeanor only, against the two
persons first alluded to by the Learned Judge iu
his charge,
John Porker, a private soldier in the sth regi•
merit of foot, was then put upon his trial for a mis-
demeanor, in attempting to commit a nameless
crime with ■ boy of the same corps, named Robert
Hunter, on hoard of a ship called the Augle, on
the voyage to Barbadoes, in June lest.
The prosecution was conducted by Sir Christo-
pher Robinson, Mr. Littledale, and Mr. Bolhind,
on behalf of the Crown. The evidence we. per-
reedy conclusive, and the Jury found hint

The two Prisoners we►e then played at the bar ;
and Lord STOWELL, after some imprennve obser-
vations, sentenced them to be imprisoned for twelve
months in Newgate, and during that Uwe to be
twice privately whipped.
The Grand Jury returned a true bill for a capi-
tal felony against three men, charged with attempt-
iug to scuttle a ship at tea; but the trial was post-

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Yesterday these Sessions commenced before F

Magistrates.
LIBEL 914 THE MILITARY.

7111. BING -U. WEBB.
In this case the Dekodant, Thomas Webb, of
St. Ann's-lane, IVesturinster, was indicted, and a
true bill was found against him, for having written
and published • libel upon their Royal Highnesses
the Dukes of York and Gloucester, and upon
certain officeri and surgeons of the Ist regiment of
the foot guards; in which libel he accused the sur-
geons of having caused the death of a relative of
his, a soldier in the lit regiment, by improper
treatment in an hospital ; sod the former of having
improperly stifled all inquiry into the transaction.
The alleged librl was carried by the Defendant
about the metropolis, stuck upon his hat, at the top
of which, in capital letters, were written the weeds,
•' Military Black Job !"
Mr. ADOLPHUS moved, that the officers and Pin-
gemis of the lst regiment of foot guards be ordered
to be in attendance on Saturday tient, the day ap-
pointed for the trial to be had ; which the Court
immediately ordered, and the orderly redeem (who
was in attendance fur the purpose) conveyed the
order of the Court to the regiment.

ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT RY A PAROCHIAL
OFFICER. •
Mr. Archibald Ritchie, stone-mason and builder,
residing in Poplar, was indicted for a misdemeanor,
iu embezzling certain monies belonging to that
parish. while he was one of the overseers thereof;
from March 1820 to March 1821.
Mr. WALFORD opened the pleadings, and Mr.
ALLEY stated the case, to the Jury. He said, that
the Defendant was owe of four overseers who were
elected to serve that office iu the parish of Poplar,
fur 1820-21, and each overseer took his turn, to
relieve the casual poor for three months. Upon the
Defendant's term having expired, he presented an
account of small sums which lie had paid to pau:
pers, amounting in the whole to 254/. 13s. ; but
from relief having been granted occasionally by his
colleagues, by the vestry clerk, and also by the
beadle, the Defendant's book of accounts was re-
ferred to him to wake entries of the autos paid by
others while he was in charge of the funds. Upon
the book being returned to the vestry clerk, with
these entries, the amount of the Defendant's ex-
penditure was no less than 6131. and a fraction.
Several interlineations were found therein, and no
less thin 214 names were inserted as having received
temporary relief, while upon strict inquiry being
made in the parish. not more than eighteen or
twenty persona could be found who had partaken of
this relief.
Mr. Thomas Horn. examined—He was vestry
clerk of Poplar at the period mentioued in the io-
dictment, and still held that office. He corro-
borated Mr. Alley's statement, as far as related to
the mode the overseers performed their duty and
rendered their accounts. He also stated, that on the
Defendant rendering his accounts to him, officially,
after he had paid the casual poor. for three months,
the expenditure amoianted to no more than
254/. 13s. but shortly afterwards. on the book being
returned to the Defendant, as already stated, new
entries were made therein, which, with the former
sum, amounted to 613/. odd.
This witne underwent a strict cross-examination
by Mr. Ass
DOLPUUS and Mr. BRODERICK for the
defence, from which it clearly appeared that Mr.
Ritchie, the !Menden', bad performed the office of
overseer for Poplar for two years, and that he had
on two different occasions received the thanks of
the parish for his good conduct; but the witness
added, that the present alleged fraud was not dis-
covered when the last vote of thanks passed. This
witness admitted that be originally was a baker,
and had borrowed thirty pounds from the Defend-
ant, of the parish money, and that Mr. Ritchie
called upon him five or six times before he could
get the money again. He admitted that it was not
till Mr. Ritchie had pressed him repeatedly for the
return of the parish mosey, that he sent the beadle
round the parish; mid this was fourteen months
after Ritchie had retired from office, for the par.
pose or ascertaining whether all the paupers that
were stated to have been relieved by the Defendant
were still resident in the perish.
_ _

Smith, beadle of Poplar, said, that in May
last he was sent round by Mr. Horn, the vestry
clerk, to find out what paupers had been relieved
by the Defendant, and out of a list of 224, he could
only find 18 or 20 paupers whom the Defendant
had relieved.

A number of paupers were called, who swore
that they had not received the various sums that
were stated to have been paid them, by the Defend-
ant in his accounts.
Jriveph Driscoll, one of the witnewes for the
prosecution, said, that he hada wife, and that they
were not relieved by the Defendant, though in the
Defendant', accounts a sum of money was put
down to their names.

On cross-examination he said, that he could not
tell how many children be had ! But he had one
by his wife.
Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury, and made •
long and unirnated speech in favour of his client.
He declared that the conduct of Horn was must
disgraceful, and it would be a stigma upon the
parish if that individual were to remain in their set.-
vice another day alter the facts had been slimed
before the Gentlemen of the Jury. %%list could
be said of the rn,ati's motives to bring such a charge
fourteen month( after the Defendant had been
out of office? go gentleman, belonging to the
parish had come .forward against the Defendant,
and Mr. Horn had attempted to bolster up the
case with evidence that no Court could rely upon.
The Gentlemen of the parish were too well ac-
quainted with the value of the Defendant's public
services to come against him upon so base and un-
founded an accusation.

The CHAutmAm ',unlined up. and the Jury,
without retiring, returned a verdict of Aut Guilty,
to the great satisfaction of a crowded Court.
This cam occupied neatly the 'thole of the day.

DREADFUL AFFAIR at THURMASTON.

- -
[From the Leireller Chronicle.]

It becomes our painful duty this week, as public
Journalists, to record an event, which, perhaps, uo
affoir since the celebrated one committed in this
county, many years ego, by • certain Nobleman,
has had its parallel.
Mr. John A lien, a person possessed of independent
property, and residing at Tlitirmaston, about three
miles from this town, was committed to our county
gaol on Tuesday morning last, by William Heyrick,
Esq. charged with felony, in shooting at and maim-
ing William Lane, a drummer of the 39th regi-
ment, about ten o'clock ou the preceding evening.
Lane happening to be coming through Thurmaston,
on his return from Twyford Statutes, was accost-
ed by three young men opposite to Mr. Allen'•
house, where they entered into conversation toge-
ther. Mr. Allen soon after appeared at a room win-
dow, and desired that they would go away, or he
would fire at them. The three young melt, ap-
prehensive that Mr. Allen might carry his threat
into effect, made a hasty retreat. The drum-
mer, however, stood his ground, and received the
coutents of a gun in the lower part of his belly,
when be exclaimed, that he was • dead man, or
something to the same effect, and tell ; hut, dread-
ful to relate, not before the contents of another
shot was lodged in his arm. The yowng men ob-
serving what had thus taken place, hereupon came
up to his assistance, and carried him to the Plough
public-house, where medical aid was instantly pro-
cured, and every proper attention was paid to his
dangerous sitoation. The village in the mean
time became all in a ferment, and immediate steps
were taken to prevent the author of it from escap-
ing. Early the next morning he was conveyed be-
fore the above-named Magistrate for examination,
who committed him for trial as shove stated, and
he was shortly after brought to prison in a post-
chaise. We understand that bail to any amount
was offered but refused. Lane was stationed in dos
town on the recruiting service, and had left the re-
mainder of his party at Syston on the evening in
question, anxious to get home to see his wife, who
was confined in child-bed. It is but justice to say,
that every possible attention was shewn to both Lane
■nd his wife, under their very distressing circum-
stances, by the friends of Mr. Allen. Dr. Hill, and
Messrs. Needham, Free►, and Stallard, surgeons, of
this town, together with Mr. Birdsall, surgeon of
Syston, who was first called in after the lamentable
occurrence took place, were in regular attendance
upon the unfortunate man ; but their skill and
attention proved unavailing, as he expired about
four o'clock on Thursday afternoon.
•
MINDEN AT RAIIV7'OIV.

We have this week the melancholy duty to per.
form of recording the death, by violent means, of a
fellow-creature, in our own immediate neighbour-
hood. The pwritculars of this tragical event are as
follow :

On Saturday last Joseph Spraggon, an indus-
trious husbandryman, met out from this city, m
company with a friend, named John Yellowley',
with an intention to walk to Sunderland. When
they had proceeded as fur as Middle Rainton,
miles along the, road, they stopped at a public-
house to get a pint of ale. On entering the house,
the time being about lull-past six o'clock in the
evening, they found the room into which they west,
nearly tilled with company, principally pitnien rod
others, connected with :he neighbouring collieries.
Spraggon and his friend wishing to rest themselves,
civilly requested some of the persous present to
move a little closer, that they might obtain seats
upon the form on which the company was sitting at
a table. This request was immediately complied
with; but a young man, named John Stauwick
Newton, who sat on the opposite side of the table,
was observed to grumble us though he considered
Spraggon and Yellowley intruders. His displea-
sure, however, appeared soon to subside, as he
shortly afterwards asked Spraggon to take • glass
of beer with him. In the cou.se of couversatiou
Spraggon addressed Newton by the name of Stan-
wick (a name which it Is understood he wished to
drop), and this circumstance seemed again to arouse
his angry feelings, and lie inquired of Spraggon
what was his name—a question which the latter did
not choose to answer. When Spraggon and Yel-
lowley had finished their ale, they got up to leave
the house, on which Newton again demanded of
Spraggon his name, which he still refused to give.
Newton then seized him, and violently twisted the
handkerchief which he wore around his neck until
he became quite black in the face. Spraggon
requested Newton to desist, but he did not use any
force. Yellowley then took hold of Newton and
asked him what he meant? the latter 'either', with
an oath, "Leave go or I'll strike at you." Yellow.
ley then asked Spraggon if he had not a knife, on
which the latter produced use, with witch he cut
his neckcloth, and then put both it and the knife
into his pocket. flavitig thus clivettgsge4 himself,
he was proceeding towards the door worn Newton
struck him, the blow was returned, soil • battle
betweeu them followed. ‘Vhile they fought,
Robert Mid, a friend of Newton, threw off his
jacket and struck Spraggon a desperate blow. The
parties were soon afterwards; separated, and Sprag-
goo left the room, followed by Newton, who re-
peatedly struck him. Spraggon 'appeared to be
stultified, and was heard to say, " tie so good as
give over," or wards to that effect. Shortly after- '
wards Newton returned to his seat, and began to
houst that he lied dune far him, and exhibiting a
knife, he held his finger upon its blade, observing
lie had put it so far into loin. lie oho said, he hail
had some difficulty in pulling it out again, but it
lust succeeded, by giving it a taint. While he was
thus speaking Spraggon entered the room, the
blood spirting from its temple he ultimately
quitted the house, holding n haitilketchief to the
wonnd, and followed Yellowley along the Sunder-
land road, with whose rid he wits able to walk
about a quarter of* tulle ; his legs then tailed him.
Yellow/ley then obtained the assistance of another
man, and they succeeded in carrying, or rather
dragging, him to a putslie-house at East Rowan,
where he was put to bed, arid where lie finally ex-
pired about three o'clock the next morning. The
surgeon win was called iu, and who after tire death
of the unfortunate man opened his head, stated that
the lace of the deceased appeared as though he had

beep strangled; that the temporal artery was di-
vided by the sharp instrument which find penetrated
the skull, and that a quantity of est r trd blood
was found on the brsiti. Ditirrent per ona, wlta
