CORON rws INQUEST.

Yrotevds7 evening on isquisition Wig taken before .1, W.
17mwt }An., Coroner, at the Spread Earle public-house, Kings-
lard-mad, witching the death of Henry Smith.
We 'fated in nor Paper of Thursday that the deceased was
struck two aevere blows on the head by a man named Smart. in
the tap-mom of the above named public-house, on 31outlay last,
and that he died the nest morning. . .

S 1 witnesses detailed the circumstances of the assault, when
some of the Jury expressed a wish that the wife of the deceased
should be examined touching what ha might have said relating to
the blows after his retarn home, but the Coroner thought it to.ne-
cessary. The beadle, however, stated, that he had recently ques-
tioned her, and she had mkt him that the deceased came home
about half-past eleven o'clock, and went immediately to bed.
Soon after lie had lain clown he exclaimed, " My head ! Oh my
head !" lie never spoke afterwards, but died about two o'clock in
the morning. . . .

Two Norgeons gave it as their opinion that the deceased tame to
his tirrith from the Motet on Ali heart. . . .

The Coroner hrieNy charged the Joey. who, after a few minute,'
consoltanon, returned a Verdict of fifoostabghter against the pri.
owner, Wm. Sinai, and the Corner issued his warrant of corn.
Mlll3l of the prieuLer to Newgste, to take his trial fur that offence.

A handsome donation of twenty gaineas, from Henry
Monteith, Esq. M.P. and another of twenty guineas from
the house of Messrs. Henry Monteith and Co. have b`►n
last week made to the tilawow Mechanics' Institution. _

Enitsrust.—ln the second line of the prayer composed
by the late Mr. Fauntleroy, given in our Paper of yester-
day, for " repentant sinner," read " a repentant sinner."
The error was not material ; but as we professed to give an
exact transcript, we think it right to male the correction.
(In the 241 h ult. the Revenue cutter Fox, commanded
by Lieut. Strong, fell in with, in Beglinry Bay, Devon,
the brig Stephen Knight, of and for Teignmouth, from
St. John's, Newfoundland. tier masts, bulwarks, boats,
cable::, and anchors, excepting the anchor and cable abe
was then titling by, were entirely washed away, as well
as the mats and four of the crew, on the morning pre-
ceding. The Fox, after great difficulty and danger, atm-
ecoled in boarding and towing her into Torbay that night,
and the next morning didivered her up to the owners at
Brixham. The master. Ccorge Hoare, was so much
bruised by :he fallen w nil., as to hi muter the necessity of
giving up the charge of the brig to the mate of the Fox,
who beirdtd her. Eighteen souls were thereby preserved
from a watery grave.
Meant:ff.—On Saturday night last a murder was com-
mitted near the Tenniat Court public-house at Wannley,
about four miles from Bristol. A man, named Isaae.Cal-
den, a wagencr, had caused the horse of one of his 11.0-
hours to be pounded: this man was in the publie-honse
drinking, when several others came in, some of whom
began throwing tohaceo-pipea at hint ; this led to further
quarreling ; and ultimately, st hen Callen left the public-
house to go home he was way-laid, knocked down with a
large pole ; and one of his inhuman companions stabbed
him in the forehead with a large French clasp-knife, the
blade of which was broken in the blow ; they left him a
corpse. Seven men have been taken up as aceessaties,
Robert England, Mark Whiting, James Gaines, Thomas
Wilmot, Francis Britton, Isaac Britton. and Samuel Pea-
cock. A Coroner's Inquest sat on the body, and brought
in a verdict of " Wilful Murder against several pt riot's un-
known."

Aw►ay'. Dr Arti.—On Saturday, as Thomas Blccin, a
baker, in the employ of Mr. Ball, Pool-la..e, was at his
slimier in the house, a circumstance occurred between his
fellow-workmen, who had dined, and the servant, which
caused a laugh among them . in which Blevin heartily
joined, and eimlintied Isis laughter while in the act of eat-
ing, who 11 lie fuse suddenly from the table, and attempted
to pet his finger down Isis throat, to extract something
which had obstructed it. This he could not sired ; but
he made his comrades understand what was the matter,
and one of anent tried to relieve him with a wire, without
rncces : in the mean time, a snrgeon was quickly ob-
tained, but the poor man died, although every Imam were
mad to i xtract the substance. On opening the throat, a
piece of beef, halt' an ounce in weight, was found in the
traelsca.—Lirerr-1 (*Maier.

Mr. Damn °ARROW summed up the case for the Jury, with his

to the demands of justice. If they doubted the prisoner's identhy,
after an lung a lapse of time since the robbery was committed, the
character which the primmer had rot caved ought to give the prepon-

It will be recollected that at the last Summer Amine for this
county, three men tamed Bevis, Harris, and Green, wen con-
victed as parties to the robbery above-mentioned. Since then it had
been discovered, through the arive exertions of Mr. T. Nkholsen,
the Under—Sheriff. that Green and Harris were not actually con-
cerned in the robbery, and in consequence of some doubt enter-
tained as to the ease of Darin, the awful sentence of the law as to
him was respited until the 3d of January next. The present pri-
soners were now put upon their trial, charged with being two of
the gang of eight persons concerned in the desperate robbery in
question. The case excited considerable interest, and during the
trial the Court was crowded to excess.
Mr. ROLLAND) (WWI whom sat Mr. DOWLIXG) Mated the ease
fur the prosecution. The circumstances under which the robbery
was erected were fully detailed on his last trial, arid the pnncipal
Interest in the ease arose front the evidence adduced to implicate the
men charged by the present indictment. It is
.unnecenary to re.
capitulate the whole of the evidence, which, in its general features.
was similar to that adduced on the limner occasion. An outline of
sloe • ease will be sufficient. It will be recollected that, on the 9th of
June late. Mr. Ilaiare, the steward of Lewd Cowper had reteived
from his I Amdship% tenants in Ilettfordshire, their half year's rent,
clue at the preceding Lodv.dy, and had collected in gold,
bank-notes, bank-bills, and other securities, a Rum amounting to
near 1.9001., which he locked up is a chest in his bell-room, at
his house, situate at Cale-green, in the parish of llertingfenl-
bury. About half-past twelve lie and his wife retired to rest, the
remainder of the family having gone to bed at a much earlier hour.
About one o'clock seem men muted the house at a window, by
meats of a ladder, whilst an eighth letnained outside to watch.
The hest person disturbed was Mr. Haloes's eldest son, who, hear-
lag a noise In the peewee adjacent to his bed-room, got up, and
looked oat at the door, and saw several men, one of whom had a
dark lantern in his hand. lie atteniptetl to shut the door, but four
or the of them rushed into his room, threw hint on his bed, struck
him several blows with a bludgeon, and threatened him with fur-
ther violence if he did rot nfitain quiet. The noise thus «ea-
Sinned distorhed Mr. and Mrs. Haines, Whale ixd-room adjoin-
ed. Mr. Haines, who hall a light in his bed-nom, got up,
and looked into the passage, where seeing six or seven men, he im-
mediately closed the door, armed hinted(' with the fire-irons, and
placed his back against the door. The men instantly assailed the
door, and tried to push it open, but finding their ehlierts inctlectual.
they applied an iron crow-bar, and, effecting an entrance, tour of
them rushed in. The first man who entered received a blow on the
head from Mr. Haines'a poker, and in endeavouring to strike
others, they all fell upon him, and drove him to the farther end of
the room, pushing his head through a pane of glass. He (.11 on the
floor, when two of the men proceeiltal to tie his hands and legs,
whilst a third held up a part of the bed-side carpet before his
eyes, to prevent his seeing what the others were doing. They
devastated his money ;be said he had none. lint not satisfied
with this answer, one of them broke open the chest with
the crow-bar, and took out all the money above-mentioned, which
was tied up in two panels. In the meantime Mrs. Ilaines rang the
alarm-hell, which had the effeet of arousing wine ef the servants
who slept in the adjoining out-houses. The shepherd and two of
the ploughmen immediately came to the house and rang the door-
bell. This disturbed the robbers, who, having secured their
plunder, quitted the house in the sane way they had entered. In
their retreat they encountered the shepherd anal the ploughmen,
with whom a desperate scuffle ensued. A pistol was snapped at
one of the pinughinen, but It did not take effect. After knocking
down thee three men and beating them severely, the thieves got
clear off, tearing behind them a pistol, the crow-her, and a hat,
which articles were shortly afterwards pit'ked up. These, it will be
recollected, were the leading circumstances of therobbery. None of
the witenews to this Fart of the case pretended to identify the
prisoners; the principal witness to atiimt them with guilt, was
Benjamin Jacobs, an accomplice, who stated that he was a baker
by trade, and had resided at Hampton Wick. For sonic time pre.
vtous to the robbery, lie hail been in the habit of frequenting a
public-house know ii by the name of the llorse-shoe and Vi'hent•
slicer, in Melior.street„ Iterniondevy, where lie met Davis (now
under sentence of de Ali), and the primers Jones and Weaver.
On the 9th of June he met Mr prisoners 14eaver and Jones, and
tire other person', at this house, when it was agreed that they
should commit the rubbery in question. Two of the men set out
early in the afternoon to wan, leaving the rest to follow In two
carts. Ationt two or three hours after those two were gone, Jones,
Wearer, and silence., set out in his (witness's) cart, and took the
road by Southgate, and on arriving at the stone, they
found the tether tire men waiting for them with another can.
Four then got into each cart, and proceeded on to a lane hear
Mr. Haines's house. • They stopped, and fastening the horses to
two aces, they went on to Cale.gnen. After surveying the house
in every direeibm. a !adder was procured and placed against a first
floor window. The prisoner, Jones, went up Met and broke a
hole in the window, and opened it. Ile then catne down, and
told the rest to take off their Mince. A catelle was then lighted is
a dark lament be means of a phosphorus-boa. Jones Mel
seconded, got in at the window, and was followel by wit-
ness, \l'eever, and four eaters. leaving the eighth man to
watch below. lie then detailed the cireinnstanets and-l- which
the robbery was cimitiiired, as described by Mr. anti Mrs.
Haines and their son. Ile ing disturbed as already up-mimic!, they
retreated, and in their retreat they had a desperate sciitlie

Mr. Ilsinia's premises, on the morning of the 10th, she verily be-
lieved It to he that which had belonged to her husband. It was
exactly similar in every rer.pect.

(The accomplice had said tli‘t two or three men had got down

This was the case for the prosecution.

No witnerwa were called on their behalf.

Mr. Ryon flaw now then summed up the ease to the Joey in
the most elaborate and able manner. Ilis Lordship told them they
ought to receive the evidence of the accomplice with great jealousy,
and if it stood alone he should advise them to reject it altogether as
the foundation of a verdict of guilty. I.n aceampliee, though un-
confirmed, was undoobtelly a competent witness; bet Judges
were in the habit, in the humane spirit of the Englis:t law of
warning juries never to convict upon the unsupported testimony of
a person owning forwsrd, by the accusation of others, to screen
himself from the enedepienece of his °any guiky seta. This was the
advice he should now give them, if they were of opinion that Jacobs
was not confirmed in some material circumstanced of his stnry.
The 'newton which the Jury bad to ask themselves was, were their
consciences End minds satisfied that the accomplice was the wit.
nese of truth ? They would compare his testimony with dust give..
by the unimpeachable witnesses who heal been examined, and if
they were satisfied with the primmer's' guilt, they would say so by
their verdict. lf, however, upon the whole, they thought they
could not safe], act upon the testimony of such a man es Jacobs,
though confirmed in wane pErtieulars, their duty to themselves, to
the country, and to the prisoners, who were in a most perilous si.
tivition, required that they should pronounces verdict of not guilty.
The Jury deliberated a few minutes, and found both prisoners

Mr. Baron Csanow immediately passed sentence of &alit in
a most impressive manner, and conjured the prisoners to make the
most of the short time left then, on this side the grave to meet their
t.'reator. 'file law most take its c nurse in a use attended with so

COURT OF RING'S ',WWII, FRIDAY, Dtc.3.

WATSOW o. XtertOr.S.

Mr. WILLIAMS moved the postponement of this trial, in cans
sequence of the absence of a materisl 'hums of the name of
Timothy, who was oa the Continent. The actim was on a hill of
exchange accepted by a young pinion named Clement. Tit• bill
got into the plaintiff's hands, through the agency of a penes of
the name of Clifford, a name more notorious in that Court than
respected by it, ache had been but a fcw doys ago bound guilty of
fraudulently ohtaining hills. When Timmhy was in London the
i plaintiff wanted lb postpone the trial: now that he rag erte: t ho
urged and premed for it. He moved that it be postponed uctil
etc! neat liila:7 Term. . . . _

Air. Justice CiTTLEDALE (who presided at Nisi Prins this day)
panted the motion.

THE VINO V. L?O AND DEVtyT.

This was an indictment preferred against the defendints for •
nuisance. The nuisance complained of was the closing up a pas-
ser between James...street and Sidmouth-street.
Messrs. lifts NET and CHITTY conducted the pro•reution.
It appeared from several witnesses examined in support Of did
indictment, that John Harrison, Esq. was owner of the ground on
which Sieltnouth-street now stands, and that on opening that street
he left between it anti James...street a passage, over which an arch
was built. The peonage via (act-lading is the sitneates) shout ten
feet in width, and the same In height. and both coaches anti wag-
gons constantly passed through it. They also declared it of tha
greatest utility to the neighbourhood, and that ha obstruction be
defendants was very iniurions to it. One witness (Noma), whirs
evidence, front the feeling manner in which it was given, excited
some merriment in the Court, declared flint his own busineta was
much impaired by h. and that the stopping up of the passage was
"one of the most daring thing, ever known before in this covnt-y.'•
It further appeared that the nuiaance originated with the defendant
Dyson, and the continuance of it was charged against the other
defendant. In the first instance the passage wan entirely closed*.
but Ilevenv (rho sueeeedtsi in the ownership of the house partly
built over it). some time before the inatinition of this palm:ton.
made a partial opening, sufficiently wide for a footpath only.
Mr. I. l'o Lane It, for the defendant Lyon, submitted, that lex
client was entitled to an acquittal, insamach as there less no evi-
dence to chew that the passage was as it la Asseribesi is may await
in the indictment, " a common highway." Herald there rt.% no-
thing to 'hew that its dedication to the use of the public was other-
wise than qualilkd. The fact of Mr. Harrison's leaving it only of
a certain height. WAg enough to prove, that the intendment on Isis
part IV" that i.o carriages but there under that height should peso
limier it. The Learned Gentleman further coetended, that no en.
operation was %hewn to exist between the defendants, either as to
the creation or joint eon tintiance of the alleged nuisance. The pro.
sermons should make their election, and consent to an acquittal La
one cane.

Mr. Jttstice lavrt.r.nat.s: ecinciding with the Len-red Come.
stl in his last view, the Counsel for the Crown agreed that Lytm
should be requitted.
Mr. ABRAHAM, the Deanna, urennl the name Cokieet:oll tOtto
indictment u had been taken to it by Mr. Pollock.

Mr. Ilicrues:v replied, aril contended. that a way was not the
lees public because it was arched otew. Ihe Learned Gedtlemast
instanced the passage into ScotlantLyard.
file. Justice LTTTt.tDALF said, he conceived there Iran a vols.
destription of the passage, for if there be a conviction, in sixty or
seventy years hence, when every memory of this dedication is lost,
ma- nut the nwncr of the adjoin:rig house be compelled to poll
down that part of it hi. It over this passage, which. from the yeena,
of this trial may ion styled " a public highway ?" Ui. Lordship
said he wen`,l take ■ note of the objection : its validity may
be argued hereafter.
The Jury found Thomas Deveny "Guilty of a continuance of
the nuisance."
