MR. ACCUM'S CASE.

This day the Wntmiester Sessions opened, and after the
Grand Jury were sworn, mud the usual preliminary business
gone through, Mr. ALLAY addreued the Court, and said,
that he was under the painful necessity of applying, in the
cue of the King against Mr. Accum, to have the Defendant's

• _
recognizant-en estreated. The Court would recollect, that
at the last Sessions Mr. Accusn was indicted by the Di-
rectors of the Royal Institution, upon a charge of tearing
leaves out of some of the books of the library of that
(va-
luable body; be then pleaded not oil(' to the charge, and
the Directors, with becoming liberality, sod with due con-
sideration fur the Defendant, permitted him to traverse the
indictment until the present Sessions, and remain al large
on bail. His Attorney, however, had last night informed
the Gentlemen conducting the indictment, that he believed
Mr. Accnm would nut this day be forthcoming upon his
trial. As be bad therefore declined appearing, the Learned
Counsel said, it only remained fur him le move the Court
that his hail be ',treated.

The CIiAIaMAN (B. Cense, Esq.) asked Mr. Alley whether
the recognizance. could well he retreated so early in the Ses-
sions? The Defendant might still appear.
Mr. Awn, explained, that his object in applying now was
to p►event Bishop, the officer, who was a witness on the
from being unnecessarily detained, as his attendance was re-
(poised as a witness on a trial at Kingston. however, Mr.
Aecuns should appear daring the Sessions, then he might
save his recognizance.. Let that be the understanding.
The Court granted the motion with that reservation io fa-
vour of Mr Accuns.

We understand that Mr. Accent was lately observed by
his friends to evince uncommon agitation at the approach of
the time of trial, and to declare, that although he could de-
feed himself effectually, yet he had not nerve to appear in
the face of the public as au accused. Several persons of
rink had agreed, and were in Court, to declare the high con-
fidence they retained for the Defendant, notwithstanding the
claw under the might of which he unfortunately laboured.
FRAUD.

Williams Henry Dian:sari, • young win lif respectable
appearance, was put to the bar, charged with defraudiug
F, ances, the wife of Thomas Wright, of 108.
Mrs. Frances Wright stated, that wi*liiug to have two
children inoculated, she scat to Dr. Morris, the celebrated
apothecary, fur that purpose, in December last. The Pri-
soner, who was servant to Dr. Morris, called upon her, sad
represented himself as griming from that gentleman. Wii-
nests then asked bin, Dr. Morris's demand, observing, that
she could not afford to pay morn than 10s. fur the inocula-
tion of the children. She also said she hoped the Doctor
would not deceive her, as she would not see them with the
cow-pock for the world. The Prisoner answered, that she
need nut fear, and performed the operation. He then took
the money and departed, having given her his own address.
Witness supposed all the time that be came by Dr. Morris's
order, or she would not have suffered the operation ; she did
out know to the contrary till Dr. Morris called shortly after-
wards, and completed the inoculation.

Mr. Wright, the husband of the last witness, stated, that
he called ■t Dr. Morris's house, but be was out at home;
be then left the order for Lim to attend with the Prisoner,
whom he should out hive suffered to perform the operatiou
had he been at Imam

Mr. Moak, jun. produced a hook of the entry of the
order on the 16th December Imt. The hand-writing was his
own. He afterwards discovered that the name of Wright"
hid been erased, and that of BArty substituted. The Pri-
soner was not in his father's employ when be inoculated Mr.
Wright's children.

be. Morris vies the next witness. lie deposed that Os the
day preceding the Prianier called on M vs. Wight he dis-
charged him from his employ; witting never authorised Insu
to perform the operation.
On his cross-examination witness said, 1w was as *polar.
cary and man midwife, is Chandothstreet ; while in hia
employ the Prisoner never Fettfurnsed any operation of
moment, nor did he inoculate any children.
This was the rase for tbe prosecution.
Mr. ADOLPHUsi, lot loehalf of the Priv net, contended
that no fr.ud spun Wright had been made out, if there was
■ny it was upon Dr. Morrie.
The CIIAIRMAN seamed up the evidence with his usual
perspicuity, and observed there were two points for the cos.

sid-ratiun of the Jury—first, 'theater a Gaud lad Lee, com-
mitted; and, illy, swots whom. The Learned Grids.-
Stair then wild jobb is elaborate view of ill. ram, Mid rev

it appeared lb him that the averment un the face of
slur in-
d ettneiii had beret made out, and sherefota 414114 rd was coat-
misled by deceit and misrepresrottatiou.
The Jury immediately returtird a verdict of Guilty.
