OLD BAILEY SESSIONS—SireRnAY, OCT. Vi 3.

MANSLAUGHTER.
John Ford was put to the bar, charged with maaelairghter, in
causing thedeath of the driver of a brewer's cast, near the Smith.
amoton Arms, Camden-town.
From the evidence, it appeared that the unfortunate deceased,
whose name (lid not appear to be well known to any of the wit.
nestles, was sitting upon the shaft, and driving his cart upon his
proper side of the road, and that the prisoner, who had the conduce
of a faur-horse van. in attempting to pass the detested's cart,
struck the wheel, and threw him dean in such a position, that the
wheel of the cart pattsed along his hotly, from the head to the thigh,
and killed him instantaneously. It being clearly proved that there
was no malice, wanton driving, violence, or any apparent want of
care,
Mr. Justice PARR stopped the ease, and informed the Jury, that
although there might have been perhaps some want of skill on the
part of the prisoner, there was nothing to sustain the charge for
which lie had been put upon his trial.
Tbe Jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
THE nETIINAL-GREEN GANG.
Janice Bishop, (Marks Dowsse, Henry Ore, alias and
at ()Toe Hickman, were indicted for stopping Henry Fuller, upon
the King's highway, in the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green,
putting him in ft:3r, and taking from his person two sovereigns,
three shillinga and sixpence, a case of instrumenoi, two cases of
lancets, his hat, cravat, and handkerchief. The fiacts eonneetetl
with the robbery charged against these prisoners have been already
fully detailed' in the yarfoua police reports, and upon the trial and
conviction of two other persons during the last cession, for the
same offence.
As they are, however, rather singular, andpresent a faithful pic-
ture of the character of the general Atitants of that district, as
well as of the degree ofd, -and' 'Waste with which they
for some time carried on .. s think it better to give
brief recapitulation of the

prove that Hickman offered to give evidence at rho Police 0111-e,
before he was taken into custody, and to bear tes:iu.ony to previous
pod character on behalf of ell the prisoners,
Mr. Baron Gennow summed up the cue to the Jury. This,
he Feld, wat, a ease of great importance. They had to consider
the interests of the public, and do their beet to pot down what in
this case had been called gang," of pursers, who assembled ler the
purpose of committing depredations. They had, on the other band,
to take care that the innocent monld not suffer ; anti if there was roam
tindoubt, they ought to lean to the side of mercy. No imputation
whatever had been, in the course of thedefence, coo upon the charac-
ter of Mr. Puller ; but, from the nature of this violent and atrocious
wiesult, such a great number of people setting urn one man, oral the
alai n and agitation which it mast have created, it was possible that
)4v. Fidler might he mistaken as to the persons who committed the
isebbery. ';'hey had heard the excellent character given to the pri.
ottners—particularly Ore and Hickman; and it was cf great iiii•
penance in this case to consider that some of the witnesses swore
that they saw the robbery cotumitted, and knew the persons who
committed it, and that none of,lthe prisoners had anything to do
with it. There was no doubt hot Mr. I uller thought that the pri-
soners were among those that coninii tted the robbery ; bat be might
mistaken ; sod if, aftcr hearing the wgnewtea for the defence,
the Jury should have a reasnrable doubt upon that head, they
were hound to give the prisoners the benefit of that doubt.
flis Lo:elship then recapitulated the whole of the evidence,
and ecticluct d by saying that the Jury ought to convict without
hesitation, or regard to conseriences. if they were (XlMptetely 53tib-
ded that the prisoners were guilty. But irthere was 703411 for doubt,
they ought to remember the golden maxim of the Englisb tannins]'
La*, viz. that it was better that any norriber'of guilty persona.
ahould essay., thaq that one ialidusent person should sinftie.
Die Jury retired fm upadhls of an beds, and then cense into
Court, tied expressed a wish again to question Sarah Barlow, one
.of the witnesses, but nothing more was elicited.
Some of the Jury complatierd bitterly of the. bad accommmletion
afforded them on their teoriutr. ,
The Judge said that ihey should have proper accommodation ;
but that fir the present they might to attend to the very serious
mattes in hand, and not ecerteund it with any thing else.
The Jery again retired for another hour, and returned ioto-Court
at 10 o'clock. and found James Bishop Guilty, and al, the rest of '
the prisoners Not Utility.
NEW COURT. •
Surds Johnson. a young married female, was indicted for stealing
. from the person of Sa,Y.tinl Eaton' a botcher, at Cabridgc, a bill of
exchange for 100/., a Bank note for Ant, two 101. notes, and three
eovoreigns. in High-street, Uxbridge, on the 23c1 of September last.

Mr. THRSSICEB appezeed as Counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr.
DAR t. and Mr. Coni.EY on the part of the Crown.
Mr. THEsettien addresses.; the Jury, and said they were met
fur the porpoise of assessing damages against the Commissioners fee
erecting :New (Atomiser, in talon' away (as they were empowered
to de by an Act of Parliament paase.:l during the present reign) two
acres of land on the plaintiff's estate, without his consent. He
(Mr. Theoriser) would, as briefly as poiltible, state, without gnr-
nish, the whole of the case to diem. The Plaintiff in this sr was
an extensive hop_factor in the Borough, M which Lust ess he had
amswied a considerable fortune, and wishing a !idle rela ation after

le had determines, upon I
that purpose selected two act.:l4 of
y of the plaintiff, and the selection the Gamut is.
slaters had made was the most public, and therefore valuable Inlti
of his taste, it being a frontage ; that is, in the highway, on the
main road to Croydon. As the Jury were well acquainted with I
the spot, as well as the value of the land in the neighbourhood, he
made no question but they would award those damages to which
they thought the plaintiff entitled. He should now proceed to cal
his witneeithes. _

Mr. eirantham is a surveyor at Croydon ; surveyed the land in
question by order of the plaintiff; it skirted the road from Broad-
green to Alecomb, which led into the town of Croydon ; it is a
good frontage road ; in his estimation it was worth, at an average
purehatte, 5331. per acre; the two acres would therefore amount to
1,46131., and to a further sum of 100/. for deteriorating the other
property. The property selected is by far the best part of the
estate. Ile had also made an extra valuation upon the brick bridge
and road of 2111., and for the timber (saplings) 51., making in the
whole 1,1991.
Crosaexamined by Mr. CowLer —lt depended upon cicrum-
stances whether or not the erection of a church would improve the
plaintiff's estate, and other surrounding relates and lands.
Mr. Blake, a surveyor, residing at Croydon, deposed that be had
valued the property in question, and his estimate amounted in the
whole to 1,1351.
Cross-examined by Mr. Dansnwatt—An estate purchased in
tote would be purchased touch mere reasonable than in parcels;
besides, parcelling off an estate deteriorated the value of the pro-
peety.
Sir. Edmonds, a surveyor in London, deposed that he had been
down to view the estate, and his estimate of the two acres alone
amounted to 1,0151.
Mr. DUUMMOND, Solicitor to the Croydon Canal Company,
deposed that the land purchased by the Company was bought at a
very high rate.
Mr. C,OWLEY adaressed the Jury in mitigation, Ile observed the
defendants thought it their duty to take care of the public interest,
and not give way to private lucre. The parties whom he had the
honour to rapreaent wished to act fairly, and would do so to the
beat of .their skill; and to that effect surveyors, men of ability and
integrity, men who would give their evidence with the attietest im-
partiality. had been and estimated the property • an offer had been
made to the plaintiff, such a one as was cansidered full and fair,
which he declined, but bolstered up the value of his property by
saying, the tithes and land.tax were redeemed ; if it was so, it had
been redwood by the former owner, and then again his Learned
Friend set up the local. situation and public thoroughfare from
