.ANOTHER COACH ROBBERY.

Yesterday information was received at the Mansion-House that
two parcels containing 2.0401. in Bank notes. had been stolen on
' the preceding day out of Newman's Gravesend coach.
Notwithstanding the gloat beams sustained by the carelessness of
bankers, the plans of the Landon gangs are still as profitable as ern
to the spetnlatora in coach robberies. Ile this case there was no
blame attributable to those who transmitted the 'muse. They ex-
actly followed the directions of the bankers whose notes are thus
probably thrown into a accord cireelation.
At a little rater one o'clock on Monday, a earcel directed to
Messrs. Drench! y and Co., Gravesend, containing 1.403!. in coua-
try note.. was delivered to the coachman of the Gravesend conch;
anti another parcel. directed to Meseta. Milian, TWiSP, end CO..
Graves rid, containing effil.„ also in country notes, was also put
into his care, with ceders personally to give them into the ettetody
of both houses. The fleet parcel was transmitted by the house of
Williams and Co. of Birehindane, the second by that of Sir John
Peering. The cenchtran, at the acme time, as, well acquainted
with the contents of both parcels. Ile immediately proceeded to
the yard of the Bull Inn, in Leadenliall-street, where his coach
was, and deposited the parcels in a box constructed ae the depositary
of esti:able property. under hi., own seat. He then double-locked
the box, and put a padlock over the first lock, so that lie fancied
all the (flints of the thieves, perticularly as he had to goon so short
a journey, would be ineffectual. flaring thus prepared himself
for the wont, he went into the inn to have a little refreshment,
after which he collected his passengers, and drove off to Gravesend,
supposing that all was safe. Upon his arrival, when he went to
open the box, he found that some goal-natured fellow had saved
him the trouble. Both locks had been wrenched open, tied bath
parcels lied been removed. The coachman, upon putting in his
hand, found nothing but the padlock, which the thief left. to order
to prevent any unnecessary expense, as the repair of the old article
would cost lean than a new one. When the house's at Gritreited
heard of the mbberv, they immediately sent oft intelligeece to Imo.
don, and as the numbers of the stolen notes are known, and hand.
bilk were immediately put in circulation in Gravefiend and its
neighbourhood. there are some hoots entertained of the recovery of
the property. Those. however, who are hest qualified to judge of
the system of the getieral run of coach depredators. apiieehend that
the restoration of the notes will be a matter of greater difficulty, and
that a compromise will be expected.
No suspicion is entertained of any of the passengers, all of whom
arc persons of good character, and resident. of Gravesend. It is
believed that the trick was done when the coachman was
taking refreshment in the Bull Inn at I.esdenhall-,trees. It
is evident that those who accomplielad it (for there sew
always. upon such occasions, three or four persons engsgedt,
were adepts in enterprises of this kind. It has been ascertained
that when a banker's parcel is about to be sent into the country,
the coachman or guard has been followed from the banking-heuse,
and watched in every movement, until ho has deposited his charge.
It is therefore absolutely necessary that, so long as this negli-
gent mode of transmitting properly is adhered to, the coachman
or gaud should keep it about his per-on, arid even then much
basset' is run, as has been teetided in a recent case.
The banking-henees are, we understand- delighted at the re-
turn of the Parliamentary business, which, by obliging the Mem-
bers to come to town, will enable them to procure a sufficient
number of franks, tinder which to send the courtly notes. without
nsk. it is notorious that at several very respectable Menses in
the City the notes are regularly weighed, in ruder that the Pose.
office coarges tnay not be incurred and this disposal of franks is
what is called " franking letters on business." Rome house,' have,
we are told, determined upon employing clerk', with liberal
salaries, to perform this very important part of tee hueinem: but so
long as coachmen or guards are to be entrusted, the efforts of the
ingenious thieves, with whom the metropolis abounds, till he con-
tinued and successful, notwithstanding the difficulties apparently
thrown in the way of co-enroll:Lees.
It is remetkable that oe the day of the robbery two of the City
officers taw part of a ga,ug of coach robbers, abate the Kent road,
and instantly said to each other that they feared „a *crew was
hmee" somewhere. and that the coaches would pry for it.
The officers received directions updi the subject of the robbery.
They know who are not the putties implicated, hut they are sileht.
cuurse, on the affirmative of the queatlort. If the parcels had
eeen stolen by a gang. aortae of the members of which have been
already before the public, and if they had committed the robbery
in the yard of the lon. it is belie:cid by those who are expe.ienced
,n detecting crimes of the most tolachterols nature, that the notes
would bars tern imineilove!y sent back, to he tittered at the
houses from which they had been sent; as the thieves would be
likely to calculate unnn the probability that the clerks would never
suspect that notes which they had just sent tett' to parcels could be
returned the next woolens..

view) :hat Sir William Middleton (Lord !tiepin) was ruined. In
one instance the name of an individual of high rank (a Noble Earl)
has been held cut as having made 140.0001. in selling shares, but
his Lordship had reason to believe and be satisfied that that indivi-
dual never had any more coixern with any thing of this sort than
his Lordship himself hal, and which was nothing on earth ; but the
degree of influence aas amazing that the propagation of such a re-
port had ip creating an appetite fey such speculations. And was it
not the duty of every feeling mind, who knew the law respecting
such transactions, to let innocent, unsuspecting, and honest men,
know in what condition they place themselves when they embark in
such speculations ?
A Gentleman behind the bar appeared on the same side with
Misses. Hart and Ile-aid, but he abstained from entering into any
argil men T.
Mr. Fon LiCtronsGrsZnar. replieu with his usual energy and
ingeruite. observing with much forte on the arguments of his
Lesmcd Friends on the other Ride. He concluded. by offering to
bring the money into Court, if the Court should think it necessary,
with a view to have the question mare fully tried.
phis LO R DSH I P said, whether the no:ion that this was an illegal
body was tiro entertained in this Court a tiny or two ago, he did
not know, but it clearly was raised on the pleadings at law. The
first question was, whether the Court ought to interfere at the in.
stance of the plaintiff? Wi:h respect to whether the bond was de-
livered as an wrote, has been matter of two pleas, bnth of which
have been negatived. The neat point w.ut with respect to surety-
ship ; it never was said in judgment that the surety should be at
liberty to say to the principal, he shall not pay that which he has
guaranteed to pay. till the principal has run through all the Courts.
As to those speculative companies. men were not to run away with
the ides, that they who are so active in those speculations are, as it
were, making an ex post facto law—they nrc doing no such
thing ; no Court of Justice can refuse to act on the law as it now
stands. and no subject in our Courts can be taken to be ignorant
of the law of the land. In this particular case, let the object have
been ever en praiseworthy, yet upon looking into the book, which
seemed to have -been examined elsorhere, it turned out that this
was a body acting as a corporate body. without having been legally
incorporated, and it would be impossible ter this Court to sanetinn
any of their acts. Ilk Lordship concluded by saying that he would
inimeetiately read the bill, answer, and pleadings, and give judg-
ment in it other to-morrow or the following day.

for him, and when the defendant called, he was asked to prudes;
his rate book. Now he (Mr. Scarlet* apprehended that the over-
seer was not• required to caere the rates in his pocket : it was Its.
upon these two questions that the Jury had to decide, and they,
by their verdict, had determined that the dematet to inspect the
rates IV/I4 rot made either at a coatetilem time or at a coureuiesat
place. But he would submit further, wilether this was an Imper-
fect refusal on the part of the defeadent to allow the plaintiff to in-
spect the rates ? The defendant did not peeitively refuse, but oily
ribbed to ascertain, first, whether the party applying lied the
power to insist upon taxiing the rats shown to him : and as sena
as he had learnt this (set. which was at the expiration only of a few
hours, he went and offered to show the plaintiff his books, but Mr.
Smith, the attorney. raid it was then too late. for he had issued out
the writ to recover the penalty which ha had incurred by his former
refusal. The defendant went to a neighbour the next morningt
aid stated the circumstance. who advised him to let the plaintiff
have a copy of the rate, arid lie (the defendant) went accordingly,
so early as six o'clock the next morning with it, but nothing Pus
than the prosecuting of this action would satisfy the plaint:ff.
This Act of Parliament au nude to mete:it overseer' from mak-
ing rates upon frivolous occasions but if their Lordships should
think this action supportable, and grail a new trial. they would
enable a sharp and canning attorney to involve always every vri-
Lige churchwarden in the country in actions upon penalties, by
catching them comniitting themselves from igaoranee of their liabi-
lity to such penal consequences as 'he one now tinder their boid-
ships' notice. But he conceived their Lordship would not thus
construe the Act. Ti.e pretext fur die action was, that Mr. Smith
hail, as the pluintifre attorney. wanted to give notice of appial
against the rate, and that he wanted a copy of it immediately. but
it Mr. Sp meeley thought that he was ng;,nieved by the rue, why
did he not give notice of critical at all events. anti -.hen he atm the
rate on the following day, he might then have determined wbctber
he would actually appeal or not.

Mr. ALF:Witte:a followed on the same side.
Mr. Bani G A:d argued in %import of 'the rule. He said that
his Learned Friends 'scented to have greatly mistaken the ground
of this ;union. They argued as if the 'round wan that his cheat
had endured an injure front their Metres; but this was not so, tor
whether he lied or t of was perfectly immaterhil, for the statute
not give the penalty with regard to any less sustained, but it said
in positive teems that if the set was neglected or refused to he
done, the action should he had i—and why ? In order to keep tiw
churchwarden to Iris duty, nod that was to he done by a penal sc-
rim+, and not as a compensation to a party bringing it tor damages-
sustained in consequence of the refusal. The circumstances of Ow
present case did not admit of his Learned Friend's comments. (Sr
the churchwarden did.not live more than a hundred yards from d
plaintiff. applying for the rate, and lie had been aid two days be-
fore that the rate would be required to be seen, and was desired ri t
to forget to bring it with hint when he was near for. But a hat to
(Mr. Brougham) complained of was. that his Lordship had at the
trial put it to the Jury whether the refusal wan emcluaire, tt
whether it was not complied with in a reasonable dice. Now,
what lie contended was, that if the refusal was once made, the
party was liable to the penalty under the Statute : although he
afterwards gave a copy of the rate, that did-not purge away the
original reftis.d, nor exempt him from the penalty ; lie therefore
contended stint this wan rot a question to be left to the Jrry, fie
the penalty haying lams once incurred. no nuosequent compliance
with the request could do it away. Ile therefoie hoped their Lord-
ships would make the rule absolute.
The hoar) Corer JrSTICX said. lie thought if they were to
grant a new trial in this case, they should convert the Art of Ps:-
liement into a means in the hands of a running attorney, of doing
• great deal of mischief. The only question with him was, net
whether his Learned Brother had lett the question to the Jury
correctly or not, but whether lie ought to hare left it to the Jury at
ell, but to have taken It upon himself to nonsuit the plaintiff. Ton
words of the Statute were, that if the Churchwarden did not permit
the party to inspect the rates. he should forfeit the sum of 201—
Ta wham ? Not to the party siting, nor to the party applying to
inst2ect the rites, but to the party aggrieved. Now, was this plant-
till aggrieved ? It did not *gives? so. Ile was not prevented from
appealing. Before the action could be brought, it must he shorn
that application to inspect the rates was made at a convenient tune
and at a convenient plate. Now, It did not appear that the re-
quest was either at a conveniert time. for it was very late at night,
our at a convenient place, for It was not at the churchwarden's own
home. but whet he was from home. Ilia Lordship had no doubt
that the question lett by hislwarned Brother to the Joey, had been
so dore in a proper manner, but he was very much inclined to
think that his Unread Brother ought to have nonsuited the plain-
tiff altogether.
The other Jutiges concurring in this opinion, the rule for a ter
trial was disiebar,ud.

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, TurwaY., FE/. &

PEXXOTIM r. ADAMS•

This was an action Wires brought by the plaintiff against
the defendant, tried at the hest Somerset Assizes, before Mr. Baron
Germs and a Special Jury. The cause of action wait, that the de-
fendant hail lopped aril topped certain ornamental trees, which
overebacied the plaintiff's field. The Jury gave a verdict for the
planed]; damages—hOOL Mr. Selwin, last Term. on behalf of
the defendant. moved the Court for a rule to show cause why
the damages should not be reduced, and obtained a rule for that
purpose.
Mr. Sergeant Pent. now appeared to show cause against the
rule ; but wa, interrupted by the Chief Justice aiming whether the
parties could rot come to an arrangement?
Mr. Seeger...et PELL said every thing had been done on the part
of his client, with a view to an arrangement, and that he was even
willing to give up all claim to damagee, provided the defendant
should ray his costs. to be taxed between attorney and client.
Mr. Jusiice BATLEY then suggested that this arrangement had
better be come to ; aryl it was ultimately ageeed to refer it to the
Master to tax the plaintiff's ems. as between attorney and client,
and to allow such charges as ehould appear to him to be reasonable,
not coming strictly within that rule.
RASTIN W. CAREW AND OSSORNI (CLERKS).
This was an action brought against the defendants, al Magi*.
twee of the County of Devon, to recover dameges for the injury
he had sustained by consequence of being expelled by them from a
farm which the plaintiffoccupied as tenant to a gentleman of the
name of Pugh. The defendants tiering been applied to by Mr.
Pugh. the landlord, to glve him possession of the farm by virtue
of elleAct of the '!d (leo. 11. cap. 19. which empowered them so to
do in case it should appear to them that the tenant had deserted it,
laving rent in mercer, and the premises in a dilapidrited state :
they accordingly went and viewed the condition of the farm, left
the usual nonce to the tenant, of their intention to come at a future
day and deliver up possession to the landlord. unless be in ihe
rnean.iimcsieturned and occupied it, and paid the rent that was in
arrest. This notice not having keen complied with, the Magi*.
rates went on ti e day appointed, and delivered up :he fartn to
Mr. Pugh. Against this act the plaintiff entered his appeal, on
the ground that the record made by the Magistrates did rot set
forth the evidence upon which they had procreileel ; but when the
appeal cane on to be heard, there appeared to be some informality
oat the part of the plaintiff and the proceedings on the appeal were
quashed. Subsequently the present action was brought. which
was tried at the last Devonshire Assizes. before the hoed Chief
Justice. when, After much coo2:cting testimony, as to the actual
state of the film at the time the plaintiff was expelled, his Lord-
ship left it. to the Jury to say whether they thought the farm hued
been really deserted ; who returned • verdict for the defendants.
A ode girl having been obtained last Term, culling on the de-
fendants to show cause why the verdict should cot be set aside,
and a new trial granted—
Me. Sergeant PELL this day showed cause against it, and con.
tended that the defendants had done no other than what they were
hound to do by the Act of Parliament, and that it was nut nate,-
any they should receive evidence on oath, as had beeu argued on
the part of the plaintiffnt the trial.
CUITTT folio% ed on the same Side.
Mr. Sergeant if ienr. argued in suppon of the rule. He would
respectfully submit to the Court that the paper called a record in
this cause was not deserving of that name. The evidence on the
I trial was all one way. First of all there was an Act of Parliament
made for summary proceedings, by which the magistrates without
trial were empowered to dispossess a tenant of his farm. In this
case, no summons was issued to require the plaintiff to appear be.
fore the defendant, precious to their givitier over possession to the
landlord, although they knew that he lived only a few yard' froth
diem ; but having been &palled to by the landlord, they, 11j;00
those hearsay facto. immediately proceeded to judgment, which he
was told was conclusive.
31c.Justice Bev Le e—No, that is not said; Cie party has an ap-
peal.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE then contended that they ought to have
given the plaintiffs henring, andel:at the proof of there being rent
actually in arrear should have appeared on their record, aid that
too should have been taken upon oath. Ile considered this crate a
very hard ore, and lie hoped their Lordehipe wotild tint sustain
the conviction, but make the rule absolute air a new trial.
The LORD Cutter .11151110 E said, he thought he ought. at the
trial, to have nonsuiteil the plaintiff; forte took it to be the law.
that where a Magistrate did an act under the authority of an Act
of Parliament, de wits not liable to an action, utilise clear evidence
was adduced of his having acted wilfully corrupt, or with malice.
Much hail been said ca to the absence of proof of rat being in ar.
rear; bet this question was immaterial, as to the liability rf the
delendante, provided it had beea represented to them that there
was rent due. The person who caused them to act where no rest
wee due, wou'd be liable to an action en the case, but not the Ma.
! gietrate. Again the Act of Parliament did not require the Magis•-
i trace to :rake inquiry into the circumstances upon oath, and was
1 that Court to say that the Magistrate hail not done all that was re.
! gutted of Min, because he had not ac ed upon the oath of the
said person ? It wmild be very hard upon Magistrates if they
should be liable to an action of treepass, or en the exile, for not
having done that, which, upon looking at the Act of Parliament,
tits, nut appear to be required of them. Suppose all the Magistrates
within that jurialietton had refused to do as these had done, and
an application were made to that Court for a Mdndan;us, would
they not be obliged to grant it ? All that the Court could re_
quiet, of them would he to view the premises ; but we meld not
direct them to hear the parties on oath, for the Act of Parliament
dtd rot go so far. The rule, thecefore, must be discharged.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, that there was no hardship in the
case, inuniurb as the party had a right of appeal ; and it would be
very hard upon landlords, if. upon a tenant loving his farm, which
was going to a state of dilapidetion, he should have no means but
by the tedious process of an action by ejectment to regain po•session
of his property in order to prevent its altogether going to ruin. He
WAS of opinion that the Justices were not liable to this action, and
that th. record was conclusive ir: their defence.
Mr. Juvice HOLPOYD agreed with leis Learned Brothers that
the rule ceight to be thecharged.

This was an action en the warranty of a hot-se, which we rerorted

them. Air. Sergeant Pell subsequently obtained a rule to show

Mr. Ogle stated, that in consequence of 51r. Conant's letter, he

tremely dark, he had it conveyed S tine wish workhouse, where
he anode the examination. On an external siew there apy eared two
large wooed% on the upper part of the head, one communicating to
an extensive fracture of the skull, separating a portion of it (here
the fractured pieces were produced) about an hush and a half long.
sad an loch wiele, and the brain was loaded with extravasaned
blood to the amount of several minxes. The fracture was press ng
on a substance of the brain.' The o Ler wound was of no mate iii
consequence ;it only eepareved the integumous, and w more to
the lett of the fatal Wont which was on the tight side tit the
parietal bone. After the examination, witness proceeded to the

these was anything or edied substance that the unfortunate mon

nothing likely to produce etch a menu!. Winne,' was of op nio
that it must have been inflicted wilt tidier a thick stick cr shuns

have produced such a fracture.
To a question (elm Sir G. FAAMANT, Mr. Ogle said, that it

that when the fatal blow, was given, the woman must he standim;

G. F. Hampsom Ilan. of a daughter.

This was an action tried at the last York Amster, before Mr.
Justice Bayley. It was brought c.rainst the defendant, as overseer
of a parish in that county, to recover a p.neJty nt 2W. for having
refitted to allow the plaintiff to inspect the rates made by the parish,
and against which the plaintiff intended to appeal. The Jury found
• verdict for the defendant. Mr. Brougham hosing. in the course
of last ter.ii, obtained a rule gist. callirig on the defendant to show
cause why the vertiict should not be set aside, and a new trial
granted. on tie ground of s misdirection by the Learned Judge,
Mr. SCAR t.Tre now showed reuse against the rule. He stated
that this artion was founded on the statute of lith Geo. 11. c. 3.
which wss mate to prevent of ewers and churchwardens front get-
ting new rates made upon frivolous pretences. It direeted that tl,c
rates should be published in the parish church, and that the church-
