This was an afhnn of slander ; thu Defendant was

To this the Defendant pleaded a jiisiifieation.
It appeared in evidence. that the Plaintiff had taken
away some of the Defendant's leaden window
weights, and substituted iron or metal ones in their
place. The Defendant also having spoken the
words, not as chat ging the Plaintiff with a felony,
and it tiwing stated that the objed of the latter was
merely the exculpation of his coaraher,
Lord Et tin aiarteuoit ohserved, that such being

peached of any felonious intent, the better way
would be to give nominal damages.

This was an aaion brougl-it to recover compen-
sation in damages, for detaining the Plaintiff
pi ison, four days hiiyond tLe time when lie should
have been dischatged.
Mr. GAR/LOW stared, tl,tt the Plaintiff was a
Gentleman of tespeattri:ity, but having fallen into
the displeasure of the C..urt, by carrying off and
marrying. a Ward of Chancery, he had suffered
a loot our isannient, during which, his affairs be-
came embarrio.ed At the expiration of. the pe-
i..;cl of his confinement, he had got discharges
frism all his cteuitors, except the Defendant, to
whose Attorney the debt was tendered ; but lie re-
fused to g.ve a discharge until some extra costs

Plaintiff was detained in prison four days louder
than he ziiould have been.
It aprearing, however, that the Defendant's At-
tormy was out cf town, and a discharge offered by

was not authorised to act upon, the Plaintiff was

The Prisoner in this case was a watch pafrole,
belonging to the dig, in of VVhitechapel ; and, upon
the night charged in the irsciattment, was going his
rounds, in company wish another patroie, when
they heard Vie ne4hientring watchman, in Ayli ffa-
street, Gooffman's Fields, spring his rattle ; arid,
upon coming up with him, to-y tutind the deceased
had knocked down the watchmtn, and, with six
other persons, was making a great riot and disturb-
ance. The Prisoner proceeded to take the de-
ceased into custody, and was carrying him to
tha watch-house, when his cumpaniuna again
came up, urged him to suit- the Prisoner, and
release himself, and they would assist him; upon
which the deceased struck the Prisoner and knocked
him dn'en ; on his rising again, the deceased
aimed another blow at him, which he parried offt
and in retn,ro stria the deceased over the temples
with the handle of a sword he then carried. The
wouns spouted blood in great quantities, and he was
carried to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where, after
languishing for nine days, he died.
The Ittc o seen observed, that upon this evidence,
there was no pretence to. charge tl e i.oner with
the crime of murder ; and, therefore, he directed
the Jury to find a general verdict of elevate!, which
was accordingly dune.
Dennis Mlllllty was capitally indiaecl for having
wilfully and fraudulently represented himself to be
t`le half-brother and n: s' 44i kin to one Patrick
Hough, a private soldier, late of she 87th Regi•

to SIl. Is. bd. being his share for the capture of

having sworn before the hurroeare to this effect,
letters of atininistrat:on wete granted to him, by

It further appeared in evid.nCe, that the persons re-

Tile Plaintiff. wi.o lived in Petticoat lane, Middle-
ses-ttreet, Whiiechapel, in the month of February
last, purchased a quantity of salmon, and gave is
pa.t payment a 301. Bank of England Note, which,
main M •ss; lAUOdst, sending it to the Bask, was
stopped by orders 014 Mr. Ware, a geetleesan who
had his pock-t picked in the month of inly pre.

i'Lliotiff. ha I not come honestly by the Bank-rote sv
tenJerod t them in part caym.nt, and referred hire
to the Kink, whey -he mere ses detained.

In supp lard- Os pl ti. tiff's plea,that hehad receiv-
ed the bow, f ?e,ai,d granted • valoaSlo consider.
ation for it, a witness, of the name Cowas,
was Calitir from whose testimony it appeared. that,
in the said month of February, she happened to be in
the shop of Mr. Jacobs, when a person, whom -he
denominated a gentleman, dressed its black, to• ally
unknown either to Iss, or Mrs. Jacobs. who was v.e
roily person then attillding to the business, (her :.na-
band, the Plaintiff, being employed abroad, with a
Mr. Harris, a tobacconist) e into the shop. and
purchased dried salmon. amounting to Si. 2.. 6d.
and at pAying, said he had nothing bit th
thirty and a titty pound Bank of Engle :d Note.
Mr;. Jacobs took the thirty pound note, and sent a
person with it, to inquire if her husband thouet
i: was a proper one f He n t being at home, Me.
Harris give his opinion. that it was good, and,
consequently, she (Mrs. Jacobs) gave her connate
the chanze.
This was the principal witness in euppart of the
bona /de receiving at the note by the Plaintiff ; but
her testimony was not ater-w cr.rroberatei by am
-others examined ; which circtrustance, joined with
the known reputation waich Petticoat-lane bas ac-
quired, along with certain other lanes in Smithfield
and St. Giles's. for being the receptacles of stolen
g. iota, induced the Jury to return a verdta in favour
of the Defendants.

This decision, however, does not prevent the
Plaintiff from having recourse against the Bank,
from which he may have redress. provided he can •
prove mere clearly his having given a valuable con.
sideration for it. and thew that the note in question
was received, base fide, without any knowledge of
its having been stolen.

THZ KING N. JOHN RUM

This was also an indietment for an assault and ob-
struMion of two Revenue Officers, in the discharge
of their duty, and was tried4before Mr. Justice
witancr., at the last Cardiff Assizes, when the
Defendant was confided upon the third Count of the
lndittment. for obstru4liog and assaulting on shore.
pursuant to the Att of the 45th of the King.
This Defendant was also brought np for Judg-
ment.

It appeared, that absrut two o'clock in the morning
of the 27th June List, the Prosecutors, William
Jones and Robert Nelson, two Tidemaitere and
Excise-officers. at Swansea, in consequence of some
suspicions they entertained relative to smuggled
goods that were on the road to town, proceed-
ed along the long road, when they saw two men
with kegs, which they endeavoured to conceal
from them ; they immediately after came up with
about twenty men more, most of them on horse-
back, with kegs on each side, covered by their
coats ; they were all aimed with thick hedge.rticks;
and when the officers came up, they said they were
rob'oers, and had no tight to be out at that time of
night. Ily this time, the officers, seeing their num-
bers, had got into a field; when seven of them leaped
the hedge and attacked them ; beat them most un•
mercifully, cut their heads open with their Sludge.
ens, and one of them had his teeth knocked out
by the Defendant, whom he had frequently seen
before. The cry of these smugglers all the time
was s, kill them, and then they canc't go home to
tell the storys!!—The officer, .cried out for help,
when some Gentlemen in the neighbourhod came to
their assistance, and the I.}eiendant was appre
headed. In mitigstion of punishment,.the Defend-
tint put in an affidavit, merely stating, that he had
already been confined seven weeks, and had a Key
and four children, solely dependant upon him f‘r
their support.
Mr. Put Lea, on behalf of the Defendant, made a
few observations upon the evident's, as adduced
upon the trial, but did not attempt to justify the
offence.

The ATTOSSIMGMRAL observed, that the
Court had a very painful duty to pert°, m, its pass-
ing a judgment upon a person whose faintly mast
be the greatest sufferers. but the ottjea of punish-
ment was the pre►ention of craws. the doctrine
Swansva was, 'that no Custuns-house Officer Was
to be out at night, and it he should be out, the
proper way of dealing with him was to murder
him, that he might not get borne to tell the story.
'nitre could not. he observed, be an. thing more
monstrous and shah-theel than this was ; and it was

for the total abalitiou of all the disqualifi istioa. under

had exerted his eloquence upon some other subjeß.

The second part of the Expedition has sailed. On
Thursday S 3 iransports left Ramsgate ; on Friday

of the enemy had made their appearance,

to tarty the ►ridge-head by assault. He or-
dered General Frere to hold out to the List ex-
tremity, and, in case of need, to cause himself to be
buried with the 27th regiment of light infantry, un-
der the ruins of the redoubt. General Vliatre was
4lireded, at the same time, to support General Frere,
and to fall upon the enemy's *Mks.
General Maison soon after reported to the Prince,
that fire Russian regiments had made an attack to
carry the bridge-head by assault, but had been vi-
gorously repulsed by the 27th Light Infantry,
which kept its fire until the Russians were within
musket-shot. In consequence thereof. the fire,
supported by grape shot, became so destrullive,
th..t the enemy were compelled to retreat in dis-
order. They were pursued by the 27th Regiment

COURT OF CUM .lON PLEAS.

MILLS V. LINDOI.

The Plaintiff brought an anion for damages
against the Defendant. to whom, in September last.
he Lad hired a gig And horse, to go to l-lmpstead ;
tee gig was return, d the same day in a very sbat-
tered condition. It appeared in evidence, roar the
Plaintiff being totally unacquainted with driving,
had delivered the gig to th • guidance of a man,
equally as unskilful 46 himsal; the conseqiien..e
that he bad been so terrified at the approach
of a cart, in a narrow road, taat he thought proper
to stop the horse. who was going r.ther quickly,
by driving gig and all into use ditch, though he
was above two hundred yards or more from d.e
°Nee he so much dreaded.
The Jury considering the na of the Driver, that
of the Delecdaut, gave a Verdiet for the
