MADDLESEI SILYSIO.VS.

A farmer named Newnian, who resides at Isle-
worth, was indicted tiff assaulted a tailor,
named Vaughan. • •
The tailor stated, that.he had purchased two pigs
of the detendant, whom he considered an old friend,
and one who would. not deceive hint. But the pigs
were scarcely arrived before they began to pine, and
one of them shewed symptoms of consumption
The tailor dal nut like to put the pour animal to
death, as she was not in good health,. not because it
would be a greater sin to kill a wend pig thun a sick
one, but because there was a difference in the taste.
lie went to the defendant and expostulated with
him, but was received tvith.great roughness, and
after having expressed his indignation, received from
him two dunes in the jaws, " which, upon my life,"
said the prosecutor, " prevented me from chewing
guy wiffies."
The Counsel, for tita prosecution, offered, upon
the part of his client: to withdraw a Juror, in order
to put an end to the case, upon the understandingH
that the detimdant should.pay the expeuces up to;
the moment.
The defendant's Counsel recommended. this pro-
"ceding as did the Chairman ; but the definulant
declared that he would go on with the busincss.
The Jury brought in a verdict of Guilty, to the
great disappt,intinent of the farmer, who was fined
101. and hound over to keep the peace.
A maa, his wife, anti his sister.in•law, were
indicted ior having ass:mita an interesting young
a union, the w:fe of a tradesman.
It appeared from the evidence that the male
prisoner had uttempted to take improper liberties
with the prosecutrix. and that she not only resisted,
but told the wife of this unwelcome lover that he
wished to be naughty. The will: so fits from being
jealous, declared that it was all t lie, hir she bad
the best of all reasons for knowing that. he was as

lating of this duty, in the case of appeal, but not otherwise."
The Act or It Car. 11., c. Y 3, s. 31, and C. 24, s. 4M, states the

NATIONAL REGISTER.

Since -the August Consol-settling, the rattle
funds Lave been gradually declining. Some heavy
time sales have been made at low prices. The
depression is principally Owing to the increasing
scarcity of mnney, the weight of thnnium on the
market, and the small amount of pinchases now
made by the Commissioners: these causes, and the
approaching fourth anniuglitYment,. are likely to
occasion 11 further depression.. Some kind of dis-
trust in the stability of the English funds appears
to lutve seized some of the stock-holders 011 the Con-
tinent, as orders and powers to sell to the amount of
upwards of one million' have been received within
these few days from abroad. The Dutch houses in
particular have received positive instructions to dis-
pose of all the Omnium they hold, but from what
cause this alarm arises, has not transpired. It pro-
Wily, in some degree. arises from the exaggerations
in the foreign Journals respecting the internal state
of the country.

CROWN SIDE.

Injockeskr, March 8.

The only case of atrocity was that of Sarah Ilunting-
ford, who was found guiltyy, on the clearest evidence, of
murdering her husband, Thos. Huntingford, at Portsea,
ott the 24th of last October.--He was upwards of 70, and
she of 60 years of age; they had lived together nearly
forty years, and no reason whatever was assigned at the
trial for her cruel conduct. It was proved, that at a
little before nine o'clock on the preceding evening, and
the last time they were seen together, she Was reading
the Bible, and he was sitting near her. It was not known
at what time they went to bed, but at three o'clock in
the morning she was seen in the yard, apparently in great
distress of mind; and when shewent up 6t.,irs again,
two other persons went up with her, and found her
hasband murdered, he having its and about his head
thirteen severe wounds and contusions; she then said
that two persons, who seemed like eltititney-sweepers,
had canoe up stairs and murdered him, and that they
told her that they would murder her also, if she made a
noise. But this defence it scented her Counsel aban-
doned, as it was endeavoured to prove, by various wit-
nesses, that she was insane, but as nothing of this sort
appeared either immediately before or after the act, the
Leauted Judge (Nlr. Justice Best) thought this defence
not available, And the Jury agreeing with him, found
her Gui/iy on the whole indictment —She Was sentenced
to stiffer the puttis:hme,it of" Petit Treason," which was
pin in execution this morning, between eight and nine
n'elmik, and her body was afterwards sent to the County
I lospiial to be dissected. Site persisted in her not doing
the murder, hut said that the instrument which was
produced in court was not the instrument with which
he was killed ; she appeared to be quite a sisionarv, and
reconciled to her (ate; when urged to confess, she re-
plied, that she wiiald confess to God alone—that the
act of dying was only momentary and what she did not
fear. When brought ma ot the Gaol she stepped on the
sledge wino firm II ass, and did not appear otherwise es en
when the fatal Carl was reuited, and site was launched
into eternity.

THE NEW PROPRIETOR

TO THE

READERS of the NATIONAL REGISTER.

WITH a mingled sensation of Fear and Hope,
the new Proprietor of this Journal addresses him-
self, for the first time, to his Readers. When he
considers the unfortunate situation of the late Pro-
prictor, he cannot contemplate, without some de-
gree of apprehension, the consequences which must
inevitably have resulted from that temporary inat-
tention to the interests of the Journal, which such
a situation naturally produced; but when, on the
other hand, he remembers that, at no distant
Friol, the extensive circulation of the National
Register might fairly challenge a competition with
that of the most favoured of its weekly competitors,
fecls himself justified in expecting that, by re•
curriag to the course which once secured general
approbation, it will speedily recover that high de-
gree of public estimation, which recent misfortunes
have, perhaps, partially suspended.
In publications of this nature, it has been so much
the custom to conciliate favour by liberal promises, '
which have not in all cases been faithfully per-
formed, that the new Proprietor would hesitate to
pledge himself for any thing more than a dilivnt
attention to the conduct of the Paper, and an un.
weatied assiduity in supplying, from every authentic
source, those articles of general information, which
the public have a right to expert in a Weekly
Journal ; but, nevertheless, he cannot forbear to
express a hope, that the faithful discharge ef these
,;;,ties, aided by the impartial discussion of all po-
litical subjects, and a careful investigation of every
occurrence which is likely to interest the public
mind or to engage its attention, will quickly re-
deem the errors which have ensued from the unplea-
sant circumstances bef we alkali to, and restore
this Journal to its original reputation. To sustain
and to increase that reputation, the most strenuous
ciligts of the new Proprietor will constantly be
directed; and if, fire this his first attempt, it shall be
thought that an apology is necessary, the candour
of his Ilesders will induce them to consider his in-
foicy as his best excuse, and to grant some indul-
gence to a Proprietor only three days old. It; by
that indulgence, he shall be nurturetT to strength,
and reared to maturity, he ventures to hope, that
hi.; ripened exertions may, is some degree, cont.
',ensue the weakness of his adolesceuve; and that
the fruit which will have been produced by the
liberality of his Friends, will nut be entirely un-
worthy of the generous care which they may bestow
011 the get initiation of the seed, and on the expaasion
of the blossom.

plied to his master, from whom he received a 4il. note,
a 251. anti a 20/. which lie gave to tlw prisoner, w Ito

January, and identified the note produced as the one he
had so received ; the 401. note he gave in Zhange was
No. 5,272, dated 21st October, leis.
Charles Edward Waller, clerk in the pay-office at the
Bank, proved that the 401. note so dated, and numbered,
was paid into the Batik on the Ist of January, by some
person, who described himself as Mr. Ilitey, No. 1,
Cowper's-court, Conthill, who received in payment forty
1/. notes, numbered from 1e,469 to 15,508 inclusive, all
dated Bth I)eceinber, 18 le.

square, proved the receipt of two If. notes, dated Decem-
ber Mk, 1818, and numbered 15,500 and 15,606, from
the Captain Broughton, who resided at that time at No.
46, Warren-strer.

Mr. G. Shulflabottom being further questioned, said
that the thief took all the notes that were in his pocket
case, but left several bills of exchange, which were in
the same pocket of the case with the notes.
The prisoner, by the advice of Mr. Harmer, his solici-
tor, declined snaking any defence; and after some con-
sultation as to the form or the commitment, was fully
committed to Newgate, both fur the burglary, and also
for stealing in the dwelling-house to the amount of above
40s.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.

FRIDAY, !STARCH 12.—Our market was rather
scantily supplied with prime beasts this morning-,
in consequence of which the price of Beef was
higher than on Monday, and the prime beast at
market fully maintained its price. The show of
Sheep was large and prices higher. Veal and
Pork both remain steady as on Monday, and prices
nominally as per annexed quotations—The busi-
ness in the flay-market was pretty brisk this
morning-, and the price of that article was the same
as on Monday. Clover met ready sale, but at con:,
siderable reduction from our lust prices. Straw
remains the same as per last.

rapt. Dtake, Dt. Dewar. and Lieut. Bustard. of the convict ship
Chaiontad were again tried for the wilful murder of D. Mac Cortnick,
during the name tiontiry of the convicts on hoard the above ship, on
her passage to New South Wales. The evidence was similar to that
given on the former trial ; and without troubling the Judge to sum
up, the Jury said, their ininols wan made np on the subject, and
pronounced the prisoners Not Guilty.—The Gentlemen bowed, and
were immediately discharged.
T. M•Donald, an athletic tray', was indicted for assaulting Helen
Week, a girl um yule of age. on tlr tottli of October last, with intent
to violate her per-ono.—lt appeared front the testimony of the little
girl, her father, and a soldier named Bennett. that the prisoner was
a Romer on boatd his Majesty's ship My rmi Mn, which quitted
Malta on the tot. of October. Mr. Breck, who is a afire merchant,
and his daughter, were passengers. Sc;o slept in a cot near the
prisoner, on the night at the tooth of October. I ler father put her
to bed and she soon fell asleep, end in that state was conveyed from
her own cot into that of the prisoner, where the disgusting liberties
charged in the indictment took place. Her cries were soon heard on
deck, and Bennett, the soldier, went below with a light, but the
prisoner said that he did not want a light, as it was only the child
who had tarn out of bad. The child, however, stated, that the
prisoner, on hearing some person approach, threw her front his own
cot to her own, and with such violence as to cause her to fall tout of it
The noise attracted her father, to whom she stated what had hap-
pened on the following mornint4.—On the of October there a ere
such appearances as left little troubt tlmt he load not only etlectral his
diaboheal purpose. but had isommunicated a loathsome disease to
her. This ciicumstance was made known to the prisoner, and he
said that could not be, and that he would stand ',overhauling."
The father applied to the Surgeon's Mate ; tom he refused to give
his assistance ; and the prisoner said the child should he exammcd
by the matron lthe Captain's wife) and the Doctor; and he after-
wards ssiol they would have nothing to do a ith it.
Mr. Justice Park summed up the evidence, and the Jury home-
diately found the prisoner—Guilty.
Sir Win. Scott. in the must impressive adtlraos, sentenced him to
two years imprisonment in Newgate.
The Learned Judge then enquired of Mr. ftreck, why he did not
apply to the Surgeon of the vessel himself ?—Mr. Brick said, be-
cause the prisoner had promised to speak to hint, to clear his own
character.
Two prisoners were diir'otrge,l by prozlamatiou ; and the Sessions

MONDAY, JANUARY 18, 1819.

But we all knoly that the poor hOf-starved wretch,
who commits a felony in procuring food, front imperious
hunger, is. by our esisting laws, condemned to, and
may sail., the same punishment us the atrocious mur.
derers of the Marrs and the Willieiuses. Nor can we
forget that o!Halloren was doomed to exile with the
worst and most decided villains of his species. We
cannot leave our present subject, without again no-
ticing the melancholy fate of our Countrymen, Arbuth-
not and Ambrister. We have before expressed our
opinion that they have been most unjustly and tyran.
nically doomed to death by the American Governmetit,
and WC hope, with the Editor of The Time; " that at
uo distant period this business will receive from tha
Btitish Parliament, a strict and thorough investigation."
But we trust not sutler our passions to get the better
of our reasit. Peace with all the world is desirable— •
but pe cc with America is particularly so to us. We
know enough of war, it is hoped, to make us careful
how we again light its torch. Voltaire says, "Si vous
mules one histoirc sans guerres, lisez cello des Anges."
Let us endeavour that oar future history may give a
ne;,•ative to the truth of his remark, nod hope that our
Representatives, in all their deliberations, will earnestly
strive, as far as is consistent with the national honour,
to preserve for us the blessings of peace.

Esi GLlstt llortarr Camituf GnET said he had
to present to the House a Petition from the Roman Catholics of
11n4Lind. praying fur the repeal of those laws which they were
subject to from no other reason than conscientious adherence to
their religion. It was a Petition worded in the same humble
t.trins as the Petition he Presented two years ago front the same
description of persons of the Roman Catholic persuasion. It was
signal by great landed proprietors, by the Clergy and other mem-
b:es of the community, and might be received as a faithful re-
vresentation of the sentiments of all the pitman Catholic ploprie-
t irs of Great Britain. The Noble Earl did not wish to maicr
pate the motion of his Noble friend, but meant merely to my.
tat the reasons Le had formerly stated in favour of the Catholic
eiaims were more deeply impres.ed and rooted in his mind. He
wee not without the tonsulation of thinking that some pod had
arisen front freoriently bringing the claims of the English Catho-
lics forward. Their attachment to the Sovereign, and employ-
nteat of their riches for the public good, had been universally
acknowledged. The peroicioas doctrine imputed to them had
been refuted. Tice itirjection indeed to their debits was confined
to a sing': acint, namely, their attachment to foreign supremacy.
This, he :et. ned, would also at last give way to the light of rca.
