CIVIL SWF:.
Goren v. PALMER.
This was ati action for defamatory words, impeaching the plain-
tiff's chastity, with an averment isr special damage in the tel.-
mination of a marriage contract, entered into with her, by a per-
son named Thomas Jelly. The words set out in the declaration
were too gross for publicity. The defendant pleaded the general
issue.

Mr. Sergeant ',AWES and Mr. Awnatws conducted the plain.
tiff's case, and Mr. ADOLPH era the defendant's.
The principal witness to support the ease was Jelly, who stated
that his Christian names were Thomas William,although he gene-
rally went by the name of Thomas.
Mr. ADOLPHUS submitted that this wan a fatal variance. Jelly
being described in the declaration by the Christian name of Thomas
only.

Mr. Baron GRAHAM would net stop the cause for this objection,
bat said he would save the point.
It appeared that all the parties lived in Enfield, the plaintiff
being sister to a publican, Jelly being a journeyman baker, and the
defendant the tom of a farmer, &miring the latter as a labourer.—
Previous to June, 1824, Jelly had been courting the plaintiff; with
an intention of marrying her. The banns of marriage had been
published twice, once ir. the parish of St. Jatnes, Clerkenwell, and
the second time in St. George, Ranover-square, although neither
he, not his intended bride, had any connexion wish either of those
parishes. The motive for puhlishing the banns in the second pa-
riah was to avoid the prohibitioneof the Mat riage Act. According
to Jelly's statement, it appeared; that just previous to the period
when the marriage was to be solimnized, lie had an interview with
the defendant, who expressed Ids astonishment that he was seriously
bent on marrying the plaintiff; whom he represented in unquali-
fied terms as a woman of most abandoned habits, whose favours
he had enjoyed without restraint in the most unblushing and open
manner. This imputation was repeated on several °craniums until
a eery short time previously to !the commencement of this action
'The effect was to induce Jelly to break oft' with the plaintiff, and
after a courtship of one month only with another yonng woman
named Robinson, he married his second sweetheart. The alleged
slander was proved by several other witnesses, who attributed to
the defendant the most gross imputations on the plaintiff's chastity.
The defence set up was not in denial of the words illegal, but in
contradiction of Jell', the principal witness, and that the marriage
waft not broken Why him in consequence of what the defendant had
said, but from his repeated declarations that the lady had favoured
him in a particular manner, without the performance of the mar-
riage ceremony. On his cross-examination Jelly denied. first, that
be had been acquainted with his ,piesent wife more than a month
before his marriaee with her; second, that his father had reproved
him for continuing bis courtship with the plaintiff, in conse9uence
of his being then on company-keeping terms with Miss Robinson;
third, that he had never declared that the banns of marriage with
the plaintiffliad been published without his cousent; and fourth,
that he had never declared that he would murder any man but him-
self who married Miss Robinson. Upon each of these points several
witnesses were called, who flatly contradicted him; and it was
proved that he had expressly declared the ground of his !peach whit
the plaintiff to be, that she !mil !Lamed him with her tenderness
without the form of marriage, and that he might at any time enjoy
her favours without ceremony.

Mr. Heron G RAHA m left the Jury to Ray, upon the whole of the
evidence. whether in their opinion the witness Jelly had broken off
the marriage contract with the plaintitT in consequence of the
alleged slander; and if so, what damages they would give under
the circumitanceß.

The Jury Wend their verdict for the
Costs 40$.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.

WINCHESTER, WEnNE4nAv, JULY 6.
CROWN COURT.

Thomas Oliver was charged with having stolen a quantity of
timber from Bramble Hill-walk, in the New Forest, the property
of his Majesty.
James Hunt—l am a groomkeeper in the New Forest. I have
the care of Alalwood-walk. I was on duty on the morning of the
13th of March, and at about one o'clock in the morning I heard the
noise of • truck going from Bramble Hill-walk. There were a
number of trees felled in this walk, by order of the Commissioners
of Woods and Forests. I saw the truck with timber on It ; there
was no horse. but the prisoner was between the shafts. with harness
round him, and two persons were behind, 'pushing thrward the
truck. 11-init.'s took the ptisoabr into custody, and examined
the timber on the truck ; it had been newly sawed, and had the
King's mark on it.
Cross-examined—Witness interrogated the prisoner, but he de-
clined answering. Witness will not swear that no wood has been
sold front out the New Forest.

James Emery is the groomkeeper of Bramble Hill-walk; he
compared the timber found on the truck drawn by the prisoner.
with the pieces which remained In the Forest, and which appeared
to have been lately sawed, and thi exactly fitted.
Cross.examirsail—Witness dows not know whether

umber has been sold in the New Forest, with the Kings mark on
it. The timber thus sold is usually taken away on trucks.
In answer to theCoutur—lt is not usual to carry away tim-
ber which has been sold at one o'clock in the morning.
William Reid is the person who marks the trees in the New
Forest. The trees found on the prisoner's truck bore the King's
mark, and witne-ai swears that it had not been sold.
The Jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE said he understood that the prisoner had
been convicted of the sante offence before the Magistrates ; under
such circumstances, he felt it his duty to sentence the prisoner to be
transported for seven years.
John Robinson and Wm. J. Smith were put to the bar, charged
with burglarionsly entering the dwelling-house of James Kane,
at Alverstoke, and stealing therefrom a clock, value 101., three tire-
pound Bank of England notes, and divers other articles.
The prisoners pleaded guilty to the charge.
The COURT inquired whether the prisoners were aware of the
consequences of confessing themselves guilty ?
The prisoaers both wept bitterly, and replied that they did not
wish to add falsehood to crime.

The prosecutor humanely recommended the prisoners to the mer-
ciful courideration of the Court.
The Learned JVDGE said he should certainly recommend that
their lives should he spared ; bust' Unless he was acquainted with
more than he now knew, he should advise that the prisoners should
be sent out of the country.
The prisoners thanked the Judge with every appearance of fey.
your and sincerity.
The prisoners are not natives of Hampshire, and stated that they
came from liristol.

James Miller, a very young man, was charged with having
broken into the dwelling-house of Ann Ingram, and stolen there-
from a silver watch. The prosecutrix resided In the parish of
Boldre, and is the maiden aunt of the prisoner. The former left
her house after night-fitll on the 13th January last, and on her
return, in about an hour after, discovered that a shutter, which
she left fastened, had been broken open in her absence, and a silver
watch taken away. In three days after the robbery, the prisoner
pl. dged the watch at a pawnbroker's in Southampton, to whom he
stalill that the watch was his own property, and that he was a ma-
riner, and resided at Poole.
The prisoner could not account for having the watch in his pos-
PCIIBIO,I ; he was therefore found Guilty.—Sentence of Death was
recorded, but
The Learned JunGt intimated Lis intention of recommending
the prisoner to mercy.
HORSE STEALING. . . _

Wm. Orman was charged with having, on the 13th of May,
stolen a black mare, the property of John Adams, and Wee.
Spoorive was charged with recoving the said mare, knowing it to'
be stolen. Osman pleaded guilty, but solemnly declared that
Spooner was ignorant that the home was stolen.
Spooner was then put on his trial, and as it way not distinctly
proved that lie knew the hotse to have been stolen when -it came
into his possession, he was aequitted.—Sentence of Death was re•
corded agamst Osman, but
The Learned Ju DOE intimated that be would recommend a mi-
tigation of the sentence.
Thomas Hawkins was charged with having in his possession a
quantity of naval stores, the property of his 31ajesty.
Thos. Robinson is au officer of the Dock-yard, and is resident at
Portsmouth. Went on the Ist May with two other persona to the
prisoner's house at Portsea. Upenteasing the parlour, witness
observed the prisoner's wife Intim( the room, and she was followed
by another other named Locke. The prisons was in the parlour,
with his coat off. There was a powerful fire in the room, and in
this fire there was a crucible, which the prisoner said contained
meta. At witness's desire the crucible was taken out of the fire,
and contained liquid metal. Upon its caroling, witness observed
that it was a mixture of copper and other metals. Prisoner said he
got the metal out of some clinkers which he found on a dunghii.
Witness saw some clinkers in the apartment ; they were warm, and
appeared to be the refuse of copper nails. Witness then observed
a copper nail in prisoner's hand. (The nail was produced.) It was
a new nod, and marked in two places with the broad arrow.
Afterwards a bag was discovered in the room,containing a quantity li
of sheet copper, nails, &c. The prisoner did not account in any
way for having these goods in his possession.
Cross-examined by prisoner—Witness knows a Mr. Pushman I
and a Mr. Holmes; they had a timber-yard ; they bought old ves-
sels, in which of course there was old copper and iron, but the cop-
per and iron should be returned to the Dock.y..rd.
Sam. Locke, an officer of the Customs, accompanied the last wit.
news to prisoner's house. Witness followed the prisoner'a wife out
of the parlour, and found concealed under her arm an old jacket,
containing a quantity of copper and nails, marked with the broad
arrow. Witness also discovered $ small cake of metal nails ce-
mented together.
Cross-examined—Witness said, on seeing the metal, I have just
found it u I was informed.
The prisoner here desired to ask the witness whether he received
his information from a male or female, but the Court overruled the
question.
Cross-examination resumed—When witness searched the house,
lie found three sacks under the bed. Il'itns3l is not a marrisd man.

{Could not wish to think he was living In Idultery. The Court
here interfered, and refused to let this course of examination be
continued.

Cross-examination continued—Witness could not swear that the
property produced was taken off ships that had been in his Ma-
jesty'a setyice. Witness does tot know how many ships had been
sold out tai bin Majesty's service.
Jatnes Iveny, a constable, accompanied the two last witnesses,
and merely repeated their statements.
Cross=exan.ined—Prisoner said lie was not at all alarmed; he had
nothing to fear.
John Gamble; another officer of the Customs, had the property
placed in his keeping after it was taken from prisoner's house.
Cross-examined—in taking the stores to the Dock-yard, witness
did not throw any thing amongst them. Witness can sweat that
the King's mark it on some of the stores.
John Thorpe, deputy storekeeper at Portsmouth, was produced
to prose that the bioad arrow was on the stores produced. Some
part of the stores prodtrvd appeared not to have been used. The
value of all the stores found in prisoner's house is about 91. Wit.
ness has no doubt that they ate some of the naval stores of his
Majesty. If copper is found in old vessels sold, the purchaser
is bound by the terms of the sale mreturn it to the Dock-yard.
Cross-econtined.—Witness knows several dealers in marine
stores. He knows of some of his Majesty's vessels having been
sold. Ile remembered the Dido being :old, and the Cherub being
broken up. The condition of sale was, this when copper or nails
Isere returned to the Dock-yard, they should t.'e
,psid for. There
was no clerk in attendance whose duty it was to recei,!,e the returns
of copper made by the purchasers.
The prisoner wished to put a question to the witness, ascertain-
ing his opinion as to whose property the stores produced were; but
the Court repeatedly informed the prisoner, that it was immaterial
whose property the stores were ; the question was, whether they
were marked with the King's mark or not.
Cross-examination resumed.—Witness knows that merchants
use copper nails, but believes the nails now produci.d are not mer-
chants nails.

The prisoner conducted his own defence with great coolness and
some ability. In a very elaborate addrers, he endeavoured to
convince the Jury that small pieces of iron and copper were fre-
quently thrown out of the Dock-yards ; these came into the hand►
of needy persons, who of course sold them again ; and in this way
they had come into his possession. He further stated that he had
lived for more than a year at Lambeth, whilst his wife remained
at Portsmouth. He only returned to Portsmouth a short'time be.
fore he was taken, and it was during his residence at Lambeth
that Ids wife had purchased the property in question. Some of
these articles, it might be, were marked with the King's mark; but
when his wife went to Sir G. Grey, and told him that she had got
some pieces of iron with the King's mark, Sir George's reply was,
put it aside in a box, and then bring it to the Dock-yard, where
you will be paid for it. Ile (the prisoner) attended to this advice,
and had actually sonic iron unpaid for in tile Dock-yards at this
moment. He (the prisoner) had been convicted before for pur-
chasing King's stores, but ibis conviction took place tor want of
explanation. Ile had dealt in nails to a very large amount, and
actually received many thousands from Government. Ile litid been
reduced to poverty in consequence of the conduct of certain bankers
in Portsmouth, and their assignees. Ile should not trouble the
Jury longer, but would proceed to call his witnesses.
The first witness was William Hawkins (the prisoner's son).
He said he entered his father's house on the morning of the Ist of
lllay. He saw some metal nail. mixed up with rubbish, bat no
copper nails. Witness knew that his mother was in the habit of
buying old brass and copper when his father wss absent. Wit.
ness knew that his father purchased metal from various ship.
builders and coppersmiths, as well as dealers in old rags, &c. &c.
%%Imes' Sunsuit has picked up old iron and metal in the street by
accident.

Joseph Lillywhite worked with tile prisoner for several years.
The prisoner lived in London for the last twelve or fourteen
months before he was apprehended. Witness did not know that
the prisoner ever purchased any stores from the Dock-yard men.
He never observed the King's mark upon any copper which he
worked up for the prisoner.
James Elcock often sold the prisoner large quantities of metal,
and always found him cautious In rejecting any that bore the
hang's mark.
The prisoner having concluded his defence,
Mr. LIME, for the Crown, addressed a Yew words to the Jury;
and—

The Learned JUDGE haying recapitulated the evidence, left the
case to the Jury, who, without hesitation, returned a verdict of
Guilty ; and as the prisoner was an old offender,
The COURT sentenced him to be transported for 14 years.
CAPTAIN FRE3IANTLE'S CASE.
In the course of the day, the witnesses who were bound over to
prosecute Captain Fremantle, were called upon ; but u they did
not appear, their recognixanceit are forfeited.
CIVIL SIDE. •
(Effort Mr. Justice LIT TLEDALE.)
HOW V. LYPE.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 41f. for work
and labour done. It appeared that the plaintiff" is a house-painter,
and was employed by the defendant, a gentleman of fortune, to
paint an anciert mansion, in the neighbourhood of Southampton.
The plaintiff's bill amounted to 252/., of which sum defendant
tendered 2111., and in his defence contended that the plaintif was
amply paid by the sum paid into Court, and that many of the items
in the bill were charged at a much higher rate than if the work had
been performed in London, or its immediate vicinity.
In reply to this defence, it was urged that many of the plaintiff's
charges were of, coursOlf;clatalsag-sbey —mild be in Lender, be..
cause wane of the articies furnished could only be purchased in
London, and plaintiff's bill was higher than the London charges,
in proportion to the expense of carriage from Landon.
After a great number of witnesses were examined on both sides,
the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 41!.

CROWN SI DH.
Shortly after seven o'clock this morning Mr.CLAR es entered the
Criminal Court, and immediately proceeded tetry prisoners.
Isaac Waters, Min Nicholls, and Thomas Ingram, stood in-
dicted for having, on the night of the 25th Apt il list. hur"lariously
broken and entered the house of James Hawes, of Rotherston in
this county, and stolcu therefrom one flitch of bacon and one sack,
the property of Richard !Rumford.
I he prisoners pleaded Not Ouilty.
Mr. DWAIIRIS briefly stated the case, and called the following
witnesses.

James Hawn examined--I work as a journeyman for the prose-
cutor. I remember the 24th April Isst. I fastened all the doors
and windows before I went to brd. I got up next morning at peep
of day, about four or five o'clock, and went through the bake-
house, which formed part of the house. There were three Hitches
of bacon there, besides several chines. I missed some of them, but
I could not at first exactly say how many.
Mr. HustPtraEY, for the prisoner, declined cross-examining
the witness for the present.
James Blackwell corroborated lut witness as to the siivation of
the premises the night before the robbery. but he could say nothing
as to the persons of those who colhniitted it. . .

Jameri'llawes again examined-1 sin a baker. and on the 24th
April last I had several Hitches of bacon, and also several chines.
On the morning of the 2.7ith April I saw sonic of my windows
broken, and one flitch and one chine were taken away. There was
some salt on the ground, and a footstep mark in it. This I traced
to Mitton's town.end, but did not proceed further at that time. I
afterwards went with Billings to where Nicholls and Ingram lived,
and there found up a chimney a round chine and my piece of
bacon. lam confident the property was mine, for I said so the
moment I saw it.

Cross-examined by Mr. II u 31p11 rtEr —I knew the bacon to be
mine from its dryness, as I had it to dry fur Mr. aluinford. I
could only know it by that means.
Billings, the constable, corroborated the last witness, as did
another constable of the name of Marriott, who delivered the bacon
to Mr. Grant, the gaoler.
Mr. Grant produced tilt bacon, which was ;identified as the pre-
perty of the prosecutors.
Sophia Addiwgton examined-1n April last the prisoners lodged
in my house. I had no other lodgers, and no bacon. I know
nothing more about the business.
Mary Samisen merely deposed to the prisoners having called at
her public-house on the evenirg of the 24th of April, and having
left it together between eight and nine o'clock. That was the
night before the bacon was found.
Wm. Freeman swore that he yaw the prisoner Ingram on the
morning of the 2lith of April, about a mile and a half trout Mitton,
when hesaid he had stolen some bacon ; that he was blown upon,and
intended starting for London.
John Clarke, a constable of the parish of St. Martin's, ;Middle-
sex, stated that he apprehended the prisoner Ingram, who, without
any promise or threat, declared that he had assisted at the robbery.
The prisoners declared they hail found the bacon.
The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence, and the Jury,
after some little hesitation, found the prisoners Graty.
Sentence of death was then recorded against them.
VIOLENT OUTRAGE.
James Catherall and Irni. Robertson were capitally indicted for
having violently assaulted, and with a view to do grievous bodily
harm, the person of Jas. Henley, on the 20th June last, in the
parish of Boughton-green, in this county ; and also for having
taken from his person eleven half crowns and other small articles.
It appeared from the evidence, that on the night in question the
prosecutor, who is a waiter, had been attending in that capacity at
one of the booths at Boughton fair. In the course of the evening
he had occasion to leave the booth, and just as he left it lie re-
ceived a tremendous blow from Catherall, which immediately
knocked him down. While on the ground the other prisoner, Ro-
bertson, tore off one of his pockets, and emptied the others of the
silver and other articles. 4Vhile this was going on, Catherall
preitsed with his foot upon prosecutor's neck; which prevented his
calling for assistance, and he was so violently attacked that the
blood gushed from his ears in considerable quantities. As soon as
the prosecutor had recovered a little, he gave inforut on to the
constables of the parish, and the prisoners being knovill as despe-
rate characters, were apprehended and identified by the prosecutor
as the persons who had so violently robbed him.
The prisoners asserted their innocence ; but the Jury instantly
found them Guilty.
Catherall was again pot to the bar, charged with having been
guilty of a similar assault and robbery, on the body of James Ilan.
well, on the same night, and at the same tiir, at Boughton.
The evidence was equally conclusive in this as in the former
case, and the Jury brought in their verdict Guifry—Deuth.

BRITISH LEGHORN PLAIT.—The Messrs. Muir, a few-
days ago, received from their establishment in Orkney, tl.e
finest specimen of this beautiful manufacture yet execut, 4
in th 'country, made up into a bonnet, to the order of her
:Highness the. Duchess of Clarence. Some idea rm.°,

that there are 66 et* its in the brim of the hat, which i.
22 inches diameter, -While the finest Leghorns that sre im -
ported, in general do not exceed so. he texture and re-
gularity of the plait, and uniform colour of the straw, wo

to the first rude efforts to imitate them. There cannot be
a doubt, from the rapid progress to perfection which it ex-
hibits, that the British Leghorn must, in a short time, not
only supersede the foreign in this country, hut be exten-
sively exported, and become a most important ;0
the manufactures of the country.
