Mr. Scarlet said, in this case, the plaintiff was an officer and s
gentleman. He lived in Ashton:tinder-Line. Ile happanad on die

to quarren• for he had barn returning from a charity concerti wherz
his soul had heti, enothed to soft sounds, and melted to de As of el s.

officer who would not resent language like tins was not worthy of In:
regim ma's. Mr. Thackeray did resent it. standing as he did thtre
in a court of justice, he could not approve of a challenge to any p::
sonul combat. But the defendant would have no challenge but
battle of handicuffs It certainly was no imputation upon-the I:onou!
or °enrage of his client that, infetinr in size and strength as he was,
he ecelirmil this contt.st. The defendant sail than he assisted in pay-
ing the plaintM"s half-pay. Now really, Without entering into any
political questions, otticern. our anny appeased to have dory
their duty. and no officer of spirit emit] beer such husguage. Tha
defendant then pinioned lion up against tltr wall, and applied tl,a
most opprobrious terms to the plaintiff. Finding that lie had r 'P-
other Weans of redress,lhe plaintiff has been obliged to a 'ply to y au,
gentlenia, not for damages, for that is not his object, but far satis-
faction to his insulted honour. An apology, even at this inotne: t,
would be accepted.
Mr. Topping would agree to a verbal apology, Inn would not cos •

The trial therefore went on.

After reciproal terms oi abuse, Mr. !framed %Vinat a-e you

puppy, and said, it' he could swallow that lie Might swallow any

reared him tap against the wall. The defendant is stout and much
the stronger man. He torethe plaintiff's shirt. The plaintiff corn.
plumped that he had been throttled.
On his cross-examination by Mr. Toppihg, he said it was about
one in the mornin• . The plaintiff was not quite sober; the defen-
dant was worse. Butte meant a kind of assistant. " Monkey, puppy,

all ale they drank.
Mr. Topping, in i.ls address to the jury, said, that no Court Of

lons. He called upon them to discourage such applications for da-
mages. by giving their verdict for the defendant, or at least by giv.

that on Thursday evening, the 2C3/1 insr he left the deceased and two
othcee, who were in the employ of Mr. Mortram, in the worksheet'
where the fire works were manufactured, employed in making up
different device.; of rockets ; ohc of thet was pounding mimetic,

'lke above witness was the last person who saw the deceased, and
the ether persons who are injured. The jury said, that it was Un-
poseible to come to a tatWacuery conclueion how the explosion was
nitwit, without better evidence. The coroner inquired of the surgeon
if it was possible to take a deposition frofis the deceased's fellow
sufferers, (John N'ash, a boy. and James Wiiesell), who are in the
hospital The Coroner was informed, that 'he boy. Nash, was in
such a state that he could not articulate, his face being burned too
shocking to describe. W,iezell was able to spaedte. but it was impos-
sible to administer an oath to him, his hands being bound up wits
cloths. lie was able to my, Out the explosion was accidental.; it
was caused by Nash charging a rocket, which be rammed down with
a stick so exces-ieely hard and quite, that the friction produced
explosion, which communicated to the powder and tre-wonks, and
set the buiiding on fiee. The jery wcie presage in the 'ward when

The lied/. Mr. Ford,---" oe:ter:illy speaking, the prisoners

the young ours are delighted with it, and the old ones ate re.
joiceti at the expectation of meeting their old acquaintatiee."
Mrs. Elizabeth pry. in her evidence, stated that several
person', Imsliaiids in anxiety to follow their wives, and tiro
VOW, were induced to commit crimes. the instanced one
444/111411 who lately suffered death, vii. Charlotte Newman,
who was actuated by a desire to follow her husband to Bo-
tany Bay, who committed the sante offence; but it was
thuliglit proper to make all example of her, and site was exe
gated.
Mr. Benjamin Baker, in his evidence respecting forgery,
says, there is a matei ial difference of feelin..l among the pri.
auuera with regard to forging. Bank notes and that of uttering
them', these who utter forged notes thiuking themselves tit-
fenders ire the lesser degree ; and in genet al %Adores finds they
have been characters who have been drawn into the commis-
sion of • the crime by the craft and subtlety of others. They
arc principally youth. One of the yuerig men tww nude, (w-
-eer' for execution will witness, that the person who seduced
i.iin was in the habit of passing at least 4U) notes a week, and,
that he was the persou who supplied Finney, Spicer, and

Mr. Newman, late keeper urNeWgate, speakingof the ef.
feet of capital pustivhment, says, twenty is the greatest mint-
ier he es er knew seller at once. There were twenty•one
intended fur one day, but only nineteen were executed
There were two executions fulloning each other —one nine.

Mr. iqetrivesit says, fruits his observations, the effect of capital
panislunent has not been to us ail example to the public.
Persens of bad disposition embrace cantle as a dangerous pr..
fession—a genie in which they may get prizes as well us

GU ILDHALIA
A boot closer, named Stangruoin. who has a wife and six
children, was charged by a hoot maker, of Skinner street,
.named with having detained work improperly. The
act of Parliament directs, that work given to those euiplot ell
by boot makers shall be given in within-sight days. 'fhr
work alluded to was det:llllrd three 1110111113. The excuse
of the defendant was, that sickness prevented pauctnality..
• The penalty affixed to the violation of the act is, Irons one
to three nionthv' imprisonment.
Mr. Miller said, hr thought it his duty, far the sake of the
public, to punish the defenclalit, and therefore resisted the
arguments, and, in fact, the entreaties of Alderman Heygate,
who represented, in the most feeling manner, the injuries
likely to arise from this indulgence. AlderinanMeygate theu
mentioned,that ate case demanded the attendance of two!
maxiatrates, and ►t WAS therefore brought before bins and
Alderman iVaithinan.

Mr. Miller peisived for a long lime iit Ws intention of,
punishing the defriitlalit, and added to hi• farmer reasons that
the defendant's object was to embezzle the property.
The Magistrates were surprised at this new charge. but.
they soon observed that Mr. Miller, if pushed to an owe.
wily, wotild not insist.upon what was so remote fruits his first
view of the subject.
Alderman Heygate again told Mr. Miller to eostsl ler that'
the (hie:Want had a family who were solely delitOdem upon
