sorrow to his family, and the general derangement of his domestic
circle. In this ease, however, the newspaper had riot only con-
tradicted the fabrication on the aext day, but bad also given up
the delinquent who had the audacity to circulate the report. The
culprit was brought to light, and he trusted the Jury would deal
by the mil Olinda as lie dem:reed. Mr. Adams, the plaintid;
lived at Paddington, and generally went by tie name of Quaker
Adams, being a member of that perannion. He had given no
cause for alarm to any one living, as to being the means of his self-
destruction, and yet there appeared its the (Thstricr of the 17th of
/curlier, a paragraph headed " and containing this state-
ment " in Saturday night last 3lr. Mame was found dead, having
suspended himself by acord Flom a beam labia back kitchen. The
deceased was an executor to several person., and some deficiencies
having taken place in his accounts are said to have caused him to
commit this fatal act." As soon as this appeared, the friends of
Mr. Adams called upon hint, they gathered round him, they saw
him in good health after his brodelast, and without the slightest
trace of a cord having been about his neck. Mr. Adams home.
diately came to the newspaper office to hare an inquiry instituted,
and upon that inquiry he discovered that one of the Observer police
reporters had into a recap+) of the name of Kelly, the present de.
(rodent, who told him that he hail a case which would prove very
interesting to the newspapers, and that if he would go to a neigh.
horning tavern or public-house, lie would give him the partieu.
hers. To this place they went, and in the presence of some four Of
five persons. some of whom were police-office reporters, the defend.
ant repeated the slanderous libel contained in the paragraph he lied
just read, with the further addition, that the defalcations of the
plaintiff had been of serious injury to a person whom he knew.
Ile further tated, that a Coroner's inquest was to be held upon the
plaintiff on.the Monday, and that within the last eighteen months
he had made several attempts to drown himself in the Paddington
Canal. That all this was mama arid malicious cruelty could nin
be doubted. What was IW. y motive for uttering this slander ?
het him today explain it ie could. Under all the circumstances
of the case, he felt that the Jury were called upon to give such
(tamers as would satisfy the justice of the case.
• Edmonds examintal by Mr. Tr heono--1 am a reporter for
the Observer newspaper. On Saturlay, lath October last. woo
attending the Police-offeee, at 3lary-la.buttese and there saw the de-
fendant. 1 knew the defendant for years before. Ile said he had
to tell me of a very unfortunate circumstance, and asked me if I
had heard it ? I replied not ; on which be said it would make a very
gond case for the newspaper. lie invited me to go to a tavern
called the Prince of Id ales ; he went first and I followol hint. its
the loom where we were five persona might have been ; amongst
them was one who casually reported for the papers. lie then told
me that a person of the name of Adams, ho resided at Padding.
ton-green, commonly called Nightly Adams," had done some.
thing curious. I said I thought I knew him, and that lie had con-
siderable dealings with the Bank, and that he was a dealer and
broker in Canal and other shares. He (the defendant) went on to
say, that Adams hail been !build that morning suspended by a
rope from a beam in his back kitchen. I asked bun, are yen sure
of that ? and lie said he was. guiding, that an inquest was to be
held upon the body on the Monday morning. Many persons, be
said, would suffer by his defalcations. lie said, 1114 he was the
neighbour and acquaintance of Mr. Adams, and that he hail good
opportunities of knowing all about that matter, expressing n par.
tinder regret that a widow, In the Harrow-mad. would lose 1,3001.
Defendant gave me his card, and invited me to Ste him. Ile said,
that within the last eighteen months Mr. Adams attempted to
drown himself in the Paddingtan Canal.
The newspaper was shewn to the witness, arAl he admitted the
paragraph to have been written by him.
Cross-examined by Mr. Or a arEY—I never was turned out of
two others fix giving false reports. I never was distniseed for
giving (i.e reports; if any one said so, they said falsely. What-
ever I gave to a newspaper they inserted at their risk.
Upon your oath, were there not two or three aciions against your
employers in consequence of your fake reports ?—There were not.
Why, there are tiny people in Court who know differently. Was
there not one ?—1 Ole, I believe.
Did you write the paragraph yourself P—l don't know.
Wily, you must know ?-1 believe I did.
Will you swear there were not alterations made in the para-
graph ?—I can't any.
He-examined—The action in which damages were recovered was
that of Lew is v. elcmtnt ?—I sent an account of what I heard to
tb' mike.
The newspaper containing the article complained of was proposed
to be put in, to which
31r. tie lotto objected, on the ground that the written paper,
either hy the witness or defendant, should be first protium!.
The Loan Cater J sv scr —This paper can be no evidence in
support of the counts, which charge the publication of the libel.
Mr. SEMI LETT considered that the correspondence of the story
and the ruhlicathon was enough to let in the newspaper.
Ileorge Connor examined by Mr. Ikea hcor —Was present at
the conversation between Kelly and Edmonds, and corroborated
the statement of Edmonds as niade to-day. We remained at the
tavern for nearly half an hour.
Mrs. Kitty (fallow examined by Mr. Ter roari—l know Mr.
' ,Idatus, he lives in Paddington-green, and has done business for
me in canal shares and gas 'harm. lie has bought and sold foe
me on commission. _ _

This was the cue fa the plaintiff.
Mr. (1V ItNET. for the detendant, admitted that it was neitha
right nor correct for newspapers to kill people in this manner. Hut
he certainly thought that the present action would with much more
propriety nave been brought against the police reporter, who could
not bear the whole gossip of the defendant or any other
without sending it to a newvpaper. If tales told in public places of
resort were thus to be brought before the public, no man would be
found to inset when police-reporters were in the same calumny.
The police-reporter was the guilty man, anti not the defendant,
whit was now improperly sought to be punished. This action could
only be brought to show that 31r. Adams really was alive, and to
vindicate his character front the aspersions contained in *para-
graph, which, for aught the jury knew, was so altered as not even
to live a correct copy of what had inadvertently. fallen from the
defendant. II is guilt was in talking or fouliah gossip with a police.
reporter. who officiously seized hold of it, anti now shrunk from
all responsibility.
The Lora cuter JI,ST ICE, in charging the Jury, could not
agree with the Learned Counsel, that the conversation with Ed.
monde was only idly gossip ; for. if that witness were believed, he
invited to give the story all the publicity he could.

MANSION HOUSE.

Already we have to announce the excellent effect of the appeal
made to the public by the Loin hl AT Ja, in behalf of the Spar.lah
and Italian Sufferers. on Monde,. [See the Brliilli Press of
yesterday]. His Lordship received yesterday morning several con.
tributions from persona who a few moments before saw the account
in the uewspepersof the distressing sceneat theJustioe-room.during
the application of the starving foreigners. It is rather extraor- '
dinary that the earliest contributors were some mechanics, who,
the moment they saw the statement, put their hands into their
pockets and mite all they could afford from their own families.
Some workmen who went into a public-house to breakfast, clubbed
a shilling a-picot, for the relief of their poor know-ermines which
they intended to have had in beer, after the labours of the day.
This amounted to 11. The journeymen of Mr. Rosa, the hair-
dresser also sent 11. Three or four poor fellows, who looked as if
they could very ill allied to give say thing. entered the Justice-
room, gave a shilling each, and apologized for the amount of the be-
nefaction. The Lord hlayor told thew that he knew he should have
visits upon the occasion from all ranks of his fellow-citizens, and
that they (his present visitors) bail the merit of being amongst the
first, and that thar contributions were the more valuable, however
small they ntiglit be, hum the promptitude with which they were
brought forward in this case of extremity. Several gentlemen
called upon his Lordship on the subject of a subscription, which
they expressed their hopes would be very general throughout the
empire. They asked his Lordship whether fancy had not sonic-
thing to do with the description given of the situation of the Re-
fugees. His Lordship replied that the statement was very far from
being highly-colourist The feelings of the public might have
been more highly excited, if those who had written the account had
thought it neeeseary to give each case of misery in detail. One of ',
the delegates, hie. Lordship added, In describing the state of those
he reirresenteth sail, ir. emphatic language, " We are a disgrace to
the British people in every thing mein our principles; for we are,
with the ability to support ourselves respectably. walking idly
about their streets, hungry and in rags. c disgrace the Lnglish
people by a shameful appeamee, in a place where industry and
character are ever crowned with posperity."
In the course of the day, three or four Spaniards came to the
Justiee-romr, for the purpose of communicating with his Lonlslii?
on lit* 'object of the en evlal matting. His Lordship asked them
in what manner they bath been supporting themselves. ••• 'Why,"
said they, we, and between twenty and thirty other brother
officers, have been regularly supplied bran old comrade." `• A
comrade !" said the Led Mayor, •• What comrade could afiiird to
assist you ?" "Captain N'enegas," replied the Spaniard... So soon
as the charity of the public reached his hands, his visitors received a
share, and were thus by his. means and his advice prevented trout
begging from door to door.'
The Loan 3! ayole expressed the pleasure he felt at finding that
his opinion of Captain Venrgaa, when that officer first appeared be-
fore hint, was not a mistaken one, and highly praised the seue-
rosity of that mild and gentletniudy yetitioner.
his Lordship was informed in the course of the day, that the
Captain had gone into the country, with strong letters of recotn-
ineililatisin, as knacker of languages.
. . .

The Loan MATOII said: that backed as every case which
called for the exercise of hutuanity was, by the public press, he
anticipated • riralrr of benevolence, through the ellints of that
channel of public entation.
PAOC C EDI NOS AT BI L NdIGAT E.—Tlic fishermen and own.
!TS of the oyster boats have, since they were compelled to admit
the vessel laden with ash within Billingsgate Dock. strongly dis-
puted the right of salt reach to enter, contending that they had ne.
ver entered it but upon mere suHerance, and with the connivance of
the °liken who have the control of the market ; that their right
lug never been legally peognized I that, at all events, the fishing.
boats have a print right, the market and dock having been formed
espressly for them ; and cansequeutly that th- salt vessels have no
right to beep them out waiting, with their perishable articks, until
the imperishable article of salt should be diet harged. They also,
upon the point of utility, contended that the ,lain: of the i:shing
boats was sheave, inasmuch as they had no utl;cr place to ;iv to,
and the salt vessels, might discharge their cargoes at any usher
wharfs. The claim of tbe salt yowls on the ground that silt ca. ut
within the Act of l'arlininent a provisions, they also disputed.
Two gentlemen wailed upon the Lord Mayor on behalf of the
salt porters, and submitted a number of authorities in support of
the right of the soh vessels. The chief appeared to be an russet
tiom Stow's Survey, wherein he mentions expressly that the
market was formed as sell for the landing of salt as fee that of
tisk and provisions.
The Lo u *son admitted that it appcered to him that the
sight of the salt veuels to discharge their cargoes at the market vas
ewer, liany funlier intertuptisa vita mel, to theta in the exert=

of that right, those who were concerned in it would be proceeded
against with severity.
NANZIPAXES.--ThiVl4/ Ceorn..c an old &Nehmen, of rather
venerable appearance, was brought up under the following
ch
Mr. Oliphant, a barrister, stated that some time since the pri-
soner came to his Chambers, aril, representing his name to be
Oliphant, requested that he would give some relief to his name-
sake. From the plausible story he told, Mr. O. was induced to
give him 2s. 63. The next day he went to Mr. Campbell, 'neither
barrister, and under the mine pretence obtained the like sum.
Monday Mr. Oliphant was at his brother's chambers, in Hatton-
' court, when the prisoner same in, but observing hied, the reel Si-
nter' Pvrr, was completely thrown oft' his guard, and exclaimed,
" Oh, my name is not Oliphant now !" Mr. Oliphant sent for an
officer, and he was taken into custody.
The prisoner, in defence, said his name was Thomas Oliphant
Campbell, and he theinght he might use which name he pleased.
The Loan Mayon. thinking he had visited several of his name-
sa;tes, remanded him till Friday, when it is expectvl that more of
them will be in attendrner.

Yesterday a rather well-dressed Irishman, of the name of Patrick
Perky, was brought before Sir Richard Ilirnie, on a warrant issued
in Ireland, and backed by Mr. MinshuU, of this office, on a charge
of having been a party in a conspirary to prom= and give false
evidence in the celebrated we of 'Westmeath t'. SVestmestli, in
which we believe the Marchioness sought in the Consistory Court
for a restitution of conjugal rights, on the ground of adultery on the
part of the Noble Marquis. The prisoner was one among many
others who gave evidence in support of the suit of her Ladyship.
Nicholls. a conductor, on Monday evening apprehended him
while standing on the steps of the Itlarchioncas's residence in St.
James's Palace.

On being told that unlass he could give good bail, he must be
conducted to Ireland, the pritoneruid he had given bail upon the
charge in Ireland, but he had not a certificate of the fact, it being
unusual to give such certificates in that country. The prisoner said
he had w.itten to the Marchioness to inform her of his situation.
lie expressed a wish also to apply to her Ladyship's proctor.
Ho was told that time should be given hint for that purpose, and
he was taken away in custody.

EXTENSIVE ROOBERY or "'nu ITOrIE or MADAME
Vtir acs.—This fair vocalist suffered a very suious loss on Mon.
day evening, by the duritig act of some well-practised thief. While
she was absent at the theatre, some fellow mounted the area
railings of her house, in Stanhope-street, May-fair, and having
contrived, with implements peculiar to his calling, to unfasten the
shutters and sash of the parlour window' he made his way up stairs,
to the lady's dressing-room, and possessed himself of the whole of
her jewellery, with which he got clear off. When .Madame Vesttis
returned home, rather Lite, she discovered her loss, and, of course,
made it known to her friends. About one o'clock in the morning,
a Noble lord, and Mr. E—t, a gentleman well known in the
highest circles, drove to bit. Richard Ilirnie's private house,
iu llowoureet, for the purpose of giwjpg information, and of seek-
ing antiststax at the hands of the AViifthy Chief Magistrate. Sir
Richard, however, had retired to rest, and they were advised by
she servant to seek an officer. They found one, and exertions are
making to forward the ends of justice, but nothing decisive has yet
been done. The thief carried cif the entire of Sladame Vestries
collection of jewels, which, we understand, was vet), valuable.
