At the London Adjourned Sessions, Edward Har.

that he hadcriminal charges against them. His defence
was intoxication at the time. Ha was sentenced to

Horse Guards, January 27, 11119.

SIR—I have the Commander in Chief's commands
to acknowledge the receipt of your Lett-r of the 25th
it:strut, with its Enclosures, regarding the transaction
stated to have occurred at the Manchester Theatre ; and
as ♦ou therein state, that the Officers of the 7th Hus-
sars, with others said to be concerned in that proceed-
ing, are to he immediately prosecuted in the Courts of
Law, his Loyal Highness desires I will acquaint you
with his opinion, that it would chew a want of defer-
ence to those Laws if he were to anticipate their de-
cision by any military investigation or notice of the
offences alleged against the Officers alluded to. Under
these circumstances, his Royal Highness will !cave the
Laws to take their course ; and he is always ready to
concur in the propriety of those under his contraand
being male amenable to the just exercise of them.
I remain, Sir, your mist obedient humld.e servant,
To Henry Hunt, Esq. Manchester. H. TORRENT.

We lately mentioned the death of Lieut. Col. O'Dog-
berty, of the Marines. This eccentric character had,
previous to his death, nude a will ; by which, after be-
queathing 1,0001. in legacies to various pet sons, he left
the residue, amounting at least to 40,0001. to C. Car-
penter, Eyq. of Moth:umlaut. At this Gentleman's re-
quest, two of the neighbourim, Magistrates, Mr. Arun-
del, of Landulph, and Mr. Tucker, of Tremaston Castle,
attended the funeral ; after which they accompanied
him to read the will to al. O'Degherty's sun and
three unmarried daughters, who were not even men.
tioned in it. When the will had been read, Mr. Car
penter, in the handsomest manner, renounced all his
right to tne property beveathed, which he immedi-
ately assigned over to the Colonel's four children, to
he divided between them, in such proportions as Mr.
C. Rashleigh, formerly a trustee in the family, should
t:ireet. What adds more credit, if possible, to Mr.
Carpenter's conduct oa this occasion is, the fact, that
when an cypress readied Redruth, where he then was,
with Col. 0 llogherty's will, he, without loss of time,
and lest an accident might occur before he could return
home, executed a codicil to hi+ own will, wherein he
gave all the property bestowed upon him to the
Colonel's children.—Traits of character like these re-
quire no eulogy : they spook for themselves.
