LAW INTRLUGENCE.

COURT or KING'S BENCH, TVESDAY, FEi. 21.

(Before the Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT and Middlesex Special
Juries.)
Several Special Jury causes were tried thiv morning, but none of
public importance, and most of them were re&rred to arbitration.
(Before Common Juries.)

The LORD Cmicr Jr 9T Ku then proceeded to try a great num-
ber of totninon Jury causes ; and the only one of importance was
the hollowing:—

WMI'LLIWS 7. 111?)ITIIIIIES.

Tlds was an acdoiiaiainst the proprietor and driver of one of the
Pntldington stages, for negligent driving, whereby the plaintiff
was thrown front the roof of the defendant's coach, and sustained
divers injuries. . .

11r. I:cowt.r No opened the pleadings.
111 r. 3IAR RYAT stated the case to the Jury, and after detailing
the facts, remarked that the furious driving of some of the Pad-
dington stages was matter of such public notoriety as to require
something like exemplary damages to the present care, in order
that a practice so dangerous to the lives of his Majesty's subjects
might be Pitt down.

The L,arned Counsel then called several witnesses, whose Wl-
tferice was in substance this :—The plaintiff, who is a nurseryman
residing in Ilertl4dshlre.got upon the defendant's coach in Princes-
Street, near the Bank, for the purpose of being conveyed to Pad-
dington, on the 24th November, 1224. As soon as the coach was
driven into the New-road, the defendant, who drove it. commenced
racing with another coach, driven by a person named Buckmaster,
and in a contest between them to get thrt.ugh the turnpike near
Marylebone New Church, the splinter bar of the defendant's coach
was driven violently against the gate post ; the plaintiff and other
passengers, as well as the defendant, were thrown off, and the
plaintiff was so much injured as to be confined to his bed at the
house of a Mr. Jenkins, near the spot where the accident happened,
for twelve days, having received contusions, front the effects or
which It is probable he might never recover.
Mr. CHITTY, for the defendant, said he certainly had no de-
fence to the present action. All he could pray the Jury to do was,
not to give such heavy damages as would entirely annihilate his
client. .Moderate damages he might he able to pay. but if a heavy
amount were given, it would entirely defeat the object in view, of
rendering to the plaintiff & fair and just compensation fo; the inju.
ties he had received.

The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury, and they found
for the platntitr—Damages 501. .

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, TUESDAY, FEB.
CASE OF MR. TORRIN GTONA NH HIS SON.

The trial of this case, which was fixed,for lire o'clock this day,
excited considerable interest, from the respectability of the persons
who were to be put upon their trial; so anxious were persons to
obtein admittance into Court that it was with great difficulty the
constables could preserve older. Mr. Carrington, who stated the
case for the prosecution, was interrupted several times by the noise
which was made at the door of the Court, which induced the Re-
corder to threaten to commit any person who should disturb the
proceedings. The Court was everywhere crowded to excess at
five o'clock.
John and Osrood Torkington, charged with feloniously receiving
certain printed books, and a quantity of paper, the property of
John Bayley Moore, Esq. knowing the same to be stolen, were
put to the bar.
Mr. CARRINGTON stated the case for the prosecution ; he said
that he appeared as Counsel for the prosecution. The crime of
which the prisoners at the bar were charged, did mot by law sub-
ject them to any specifiz punishment, but it was left to the dia.
cretion of the Judge to pass such sentence as the circumstances of
the case might call for; the present case was one of great ins-
penance relatively to tile prisoners and the country. When he
came to lay the circumstances of the case before the Jury, It would
appear that the prisoners had a guilty knowledge that those books
were stolen, anti that they received them with that knowledge.
Mr. Moore, the prosecutor, wet a special pleader, resident at
No. 1, Inner Temple-lane; he had been obliged, in consequence
of the serious illness of his father, to go on the 24th of January
last into Devonshire, and left is business to the care of Mr.
Coppinger, his pupil. In his absence Ile hail been robbed by
Chalmette, who had been convicted on a former trial. Ile hoped
that if anyone of the Jury had been present at that trial, he would
remove from his mind any unfavourable impressions which might
then have been made upon him; he hoped he would dismiss from
his recollection any thing that might then have taken place in.
jurious to the prisoners. Mr. Alain returned to London in
February. On Monday, the Cth of February, the day after lie
artiveci in-London, ho had been in consultation with Mr. Archbold,
and had left him to procure a book to which he had occasion to
refer. (in that occasion he passed his own chambers, and was
much surmised to see a great light in them.
A ittersen was here brought into Court for making a noise at
the, doom
Mr. ALI.V.Y said that the man was no doubt induced to come
into Court to hear the preliminary statement of his Learned Friend
(Mr: Carrington.) . . .

The ItEconnEw reprimanded the contumacious gentleman who
was an anxious to obtain admittance, who, whatever might be his
admiration of forensic oratory, did not, though under the influence
of Bacchus, exemplify hi his own defence the words of the poet—
" k'reetindi colic:es quern non fecere disertum."
If e Wan dismissed.

Mr. Cann twolort resumed, He said that whether the indi-
tritlmil ennte into Court m hear the melancholy detail which it was
his painful duty to state4irto hear the jokes of his foamed IPriend,
was to him a matter of speculation. Ile (11r. Moore) proceeded
to his chamber*, and met Sullivan with a hag full of pipets. When
he went into his chambers Ire found. them in great confusion ; he
afterwards took the boys Itilson, Chalinede, and Sullivan, to the
watch-house. Sullivan mated--
Wire Mi. ALt.r.sr requested that Sullivan and Wilson should
be removed front I:oust, which was complied with.]
Mr. CAIIIINOTON again resumed. He would state the case u
well as the interruptions would perthit. Sullivan sold the papers
to the yeunger prisoner In the presence of the elder, at I Ad. per lb.
This took place at an unseasonable hour; the purchase was mode
se' bos the were not more than ten years old ; the rate at which
, paper was bought excited strong suspicions against the pri.
Patera The Learned Counsel went on to animadvert in strong
I terms ag:finst the conduct of the pritoners, when he was inter-
=Led by
Mr. /t u.ET, who said that if the Learned Gentleman had h'en
of the sante standing at the barns himself be would have interrupted
hint long since.
Mr. CARRINGTON said that he had at all times admired the
cooduct. or his Learned Frien I (Mr. Alley) and had made it a
pattern for his own ;t he said that the case was in the hands of an
hatebigeotJury, and he was confident they would perform their duty.
John Bayley AI oorts, Esq. was then examined by Mr. Carr RING-
' TON, and depoSed as follows :—I moo special pleader g I reside
at No. 1, Inner Temple.lane; I had 'a valuable library ; I left
town on the 24th, January to go Mtn Devonshire to see my father,
who was very 111 ; returned to torn on the sth February ; on the
6th I had occasion to peas my chambers to h- TOW a report to which
I had to refer ;.1 *an unusual - chambers •

James Sullivan was next examined by the Riebtoet..—being
, questioned as to his knowledge of the obligation of In orb, ha said
he knew he would he punished if he said wiled iris not true. He
said, I went on;the night in questioa to Mt. Moere's chambers;
sew Wileon pat books in • bag ; the hag was nearly full ; could
tun with it ; took it to the milliner's bowie. and received Bd. for
what the bag contained ; sold ft to the younger, but the elder Ta-
kings= could hear what pawed. Ido not know the exact weight
be paid me for it at the rate of lid. per pound. I took II second
hag of these papers, for which I received the some as for the first.
When I came with the second bag, I was asked where the paper
came from P I said I got it from my brother in
This witness underwent • long cross-examination by Mr.ALLET,
by wl.ich it appeared that he had frequently sold waste-paper to
ratter-lane, where he got 4.. 4el. fora similar bag of paper. He
said he did not take the paper which he got at Mr. Moore's cham-
bers to Fetter.lane. because they did not want any there.
Wm. (Users' examined by Mr. Catlin INGTON--I am an officer
onlthe patrol establishment. I found the paper now produced at
Mr. Torkington'n. I borrowed the baskets from him to bring
them away. He produced the papers without any hesitation.
This witness was cross-examined by Mr. ettltwoon, but no-
thing material was elicited.
Mr. Walter bl•Dowal was next examined. His evidence went
to prove that the usual price given for waste paper was 4d. per
lb.; and that there was nothing in the appearance of the paper
which was sold by f3ullivan that carried a decided proof of its being
stolen.

nt. Wilson corroborated the evidence of Sullivan, but said
that he (Sullivan) had sworn falsely in saying he had torn off'
the_covers of the books. _ _ _

Thomas Lightfoot, a constable, deposed that be took Chaltnede,
Wilson, and Sullivan into custody.
This closed the case tsar the prosecution.
John Eorkington examined by Mr. Cunwoon—He said he saw
Sullivan come into the shop ; he saw his brother pay him Sid. per
pound. It was fixed on lus memory ; he calculated it himself ;
, there were eighteen pounds, and he was paid as. 3d. for each bag.
Mrs. Parker examined—Said that she was in Tolkington's
shop on the night ',in question and saw Sulivan there: heard
him making a bargain for the paper; Mr. Torkingeon first
laid down Is. lid., btu when his son called out eighteen pounds, he
gave the difference between that and as. 3d. She had a perfect
recollection of the fact from a conversation she had with her
husband, who saw the case stated in the newspapers the day fol.
lowing.
The RZCOUDER buying made some observations on the evi-
dence, said that as there was no testimony against the prisoners
except that of a boy of bad character, which was contradicted by
the evidence of persons against whose character no imputation had
been made, he put it to the Jury whether they would consider it
necessary to go further into the case.
The Jury said they were perfectly satisfied, and immediately re-
turned a verdict of Not Gitaty.
As soon as this ventict was announced in Court, a loud clapping
of hands testified the satisfaction which it produced among tte
audience.

The RECORDER said, that however great might be the satisfac-
tion of persons to witness the acquittal of a person who had been
charged with such a crime as the prisoners, he could not allow a
Court of Justice to be made a theatre of. and he would commit any
person who would indulge in any such improper expression of his
feelings.
A few unimportant cases being then disposed of, the Court ad-
journed.

POLICE.

GI:11,M1.1 LL.

Dank' Pozzi, an Tiall;117;;;;broolg. ht before Mr. Alderman
MAOMAY, charged with assaulting and threatening the .ife of Dr.
Francis Tadini, a physician from Pavia, now residing at No. 2,
Upper John-street. Golden-square.
Mr. Alderman NVood stated that Dr. Tadini was a member of
a sub.committcc of Italians and Spaniards, appointed by the City
Committee, who have the management of the subscriptions for the
Refugees; and that the defendant had formed an opinion that it
was in consequence or the representations of Tadini he was only
allowed is. a weeg pending the inquiry into his claim,. instead of
the full allowance of 10s. per week. This led. to the violence
I Welt the complainant himself would describe.
Dr. Tadini then stated, that as he was leaving.the Committee.
room, in Guildhall, between two and three o'clock on Saturday
last, the defendant told him he was a rascal, and that he had not
put him on the list to receive 10s. a week only because he had not
made him a present of 21. Witness told him he would call hint
before a Magistrate for this calumny ; to which he answered that
witness was bound to tight hint, and demanded a fleeting. lie
said he never refused to light honest persons; and if he could prove
by the word of an officer or other reputable character,. that he was
not a rascal, he would be ready to fight hint at any hour. Witness
wet, then going away, when the defendant rushed upon hint and
gave him a violent blow in the face, which was the assault I.e con.
plained of. With respect to the threats, he had not himself hem d
them from the mouth of Porzi ; but as he was passing through Co-
ventry-street, on Saturday atternoon three Italians called to hint
to caution him that the defendant had said he would kill him if he
did not obtain greater relief front the Refugee Committee.
An Italian corroborated this statement, as tar as respected the
assault.

Joseph. Trion', of Great Chapel-street, Westminster, said be
w:ts present at.the Coffee-house. 37, Windmill.street, Haymarket,
when he heard Pozzi say that Tadini had caused him to be struck
off the list of pensioners, and lie would take away his life.
The defendant having had the depositions interpreted to him,
addressed the Magistrate in Italian with some vehemence, declaring
that he had beep informed Dr. Tatlini bed caused his name to be
erased from the lie, and that he lied something imptirtant to
reveal in private, which, if he were to deliver in public, he would
be lost.

Mr. Alterman WooD said he had not been struck out of the
list; and the reason he was allowed but 7s. was that it was pretty
well ascertained he had not quitted hi: country on account of his
politieal principles.
Mr. Alderman 31AostAr did not feel disposed to listen to his
important secret, and committed the defendant for the assault, with
direclions to give 24 hours' notice of bail, the securities to be two
housekeepers in 401., and himself in 1101.

THE MURDER OF MR. BIRD AT

GRERXWICH.

SECOND EXAMINATION OF LOVETT.
Yesterday being appointed for the further investigation of the
confession of the murder of Mr. Bird and hie housekernet. it*
following Magistrates assembldd at the Mitre Tavern :—Co:snel
Forchant, Richard Smith, Esq., and John Shinham, Esq.; Mr.
Jones, the Admiralty Solicitor, and Mr. Bicknell also attendedttie
examination. Lorril, who had been confined on board the Tarter
at Woolwich, was brought up in the morning, under a guard o:
marines ; and such was the curiosity to see him, that the civil pose
had some difficulty to keep off the crowd that euronged the wen
of Greenwich.

51r. BICKNELL then observed to the Bench that inquiries had
been made, which left no doubt of the statement made by the pri.
soner to the boy Underwood being utterly false. as at the time he
was a mere boy, and ou board a receiving ship beloaging to the
navy.

The prisoner said he never had made any such confession as that
sworn to by the a itness Underwood.

Charles Underwood was called, and admonished to speak the
truth. He deposed that he was a shipmate of the prisoner's in Es
Majesty's ship the Cambridge, and when at Valpiraiso they both
deserted together, and during son,e conversation the priwset
wished him to enter a Spanish man of war, and said he wtvaid
sooner kill the first man he met than return to the Cambridge ;
the witness told him he did not think he would have heart mooch
to do so cruel an action ; when he replied—" Yes I would. I
done one murder, and am capable of doing another ;" and thy:
said he was the man who murdered Mr. Bird and his hOusekerret,
at Greenwich, for which Charles Hussey had been executed: a.tat
he was assisted by Kepplet or Kepple, and Stofel [who hare slara
been executed for the atrocious murder of Mrs. Richards, at
ham] ; and that Hussey kept watch outside, while he and thc
others were doing the murder ; he himself killed the old wocal
in the passage as she was endeavouring to escape, and then eent
up stairs, and finding Mr. Bird reading by his bedside, also rear.
tiered him with a sledge hammer; that they then plundered ev
house. and carried away the booty in small bur.dies, and afteivsa.i
divided it. The witness said they were taken prisoners as dearest
and sent back to the Cambridge ; and then the prisoner "shaman:
illness to avoid a flogging, and while confined in the chains told
the same story to a marine, named Blunderhead, in whose inane.
diate custody he was. This marine told what lie had heard to the
Captain, and then witness did so, not having told it before. as to
did not think it was true ; they were both, consequently, sent hoax
in the Tartar.

This statement of the prisoner's is at valiance with the evidence
given upon the trial of Hussey, upon his apprehension at Wood-
stock, in Oxfordshire. The whole of the stolen property sat 11'04
in leis possession, and close behind the house where IlusseY
lodged, at Greenwich, was found the hammer with which the dread.
ful deed was accomplished : these and many other circumstances
have confirmed the belief that Hussey and no one else pertetrated
alone the atrocious act. Mr. Bird was found murdered in is Ft?'
lour, sitting close to the fire, and not in his bed-room, as Ma" of
the prisoner.

Mr. BICKNELL having closely examined every Wants circa ).
stance, intimated that the prisoner must of necessity be dischsrFni.
as there was not one tittle of evidetrco which would lead to los On.
minal for the murder.

--•
Tucker. an overseer of Denford, here stepped thrward and sod
he knew the prisoner very well, and 'ln the month of January. la
was looking after him for a burglary committed by bim and Mc
others, in the house of Mr. Andrews, Deptford. ills four scam.
pikes had been taken, and being tried at the Lent Aoilts
Maidstone, were all convicted. A true bill of indictment bed bet*
found against the prisoner, but he eluded justice by going to see
Lovett denied all knowledge of any such offence.
His father, who was present, said he believed the accusation
made by Tucker to be false.
Tucker declared he could not be mistaken; he had called ores!
times at the prisoner's residence but could not find him ; a Judges
warrant, upon the indictinesit being lound, had been placed In the
hands of Morris, a Sheriff's officer.

Morris was sent for, and, upon attending, recollected harilC
such a warrant given him ; he had either returned or mislaid it; he
knew nothing of the prleMier.
After some consultation Tucker made an affidavit of the parr"
cubits of the charge*upon which the indictment had been load
against the prisoner, and
The Alagitittates remanded him to Greenwich watehhouss ^olu s
certificate of the indictment can be obtained, when he will be OD'
witted to Maidstone gaol to abide his trial for felony.
The prisoner was much irritated at the turn his examination had
taken.
