ringleaders vf the crowd broke, and dragged him out by the
Lair of his hem'.

'lO a iptestion front Lord Vlenborougli, Mr. Sergeant On-
slow, for the prosecution, said, that Reilinore was not vet ie..
covered in consequence of the violence utVered to him, and
that the dangerous slate of his health had prevented his ex.
amino Lion at th- assizus.

Common Sergeant addressed the Court for Bennett,
nal Mr. Sergeant Onslow observed, that it was extremely
tut t tunic that the detindauts now stood upon the floor, and
had not been trietKor 1111 l rtler ; and it was not clear, that
the oft nee of which they had been found guilty woe not
capi►al. Bennett had been particularly active, as Red:Dere
had informed against him for keeping a private shop for the
site of Spirits.
'rite Court sentenced Bennett to be imprisoned in Horsham
Claul for two years, Dbnce and Good% in to be imprisoned for
one year, sud Ruth to be imprisoned Cur eight mouths, each

was 5001. and the important object of it was the securing of
the public health.
'the sentence of the Court was accordingly the payment of
the whole penalty.

This was a proceeding instituted to SIM'S% damages in the
case of S. Frazer, Esq. against W. Brittlebank, Esq. for
criminal conversation Kith Susan his vi ife. The defendant
latil suffered judgment to go by default, and the damages were
laid at 10,00 m. . .

Mr. Sergeant Best addressed the jury. The plaintiff, Mr.
Vrazer, was a gentleman who had enjoyed au estate of con_
sitter:dile value in the island of Berbiee, in the West
The defendant was also a resident of Berbice. The plaintiff
and his wife were mat rind in 1802, and tip to the year 1813
lived in the island in a snite of perfect comiubial happiness
and affection. One son and three daughters were the fruits
of their union. The plaintiff, during his residence at Berhice,
had unfortunately entered late a speculation with a gentle
man name • Robinson, which failed; and in the year 1315 he
returned with his wife to England. The defendant, who had
previously been on toms of close intimacy' with the plaintiff,
%vas now selected as 1113 ;nest sacred • friend, and it was de-
termined upon that he should undo take the management of
the property which the phi intiff had left behind. Such were
the eh enmstances of embarrasinents in whi^lh the plaintiff
was placed on his arrival in this kingdom, that while he en-
deavoured to procure a aituation in which lie might repair his
forme, his wife went on a visit to Scotland. Soon after her
absence he determined upon a voyage to India. Just, how-
ever, as he was about to sail, some of the difficulties under
which he laboured overtook him, and he was arrested. His
%sift., who had already manifested the utmost ralleelli and
affection for him'in his tioubles, heard of the latter circum-
stance, and without delay dew from Scotland to Join 11i114 in
his disappointments. They lived after this for sonic time in
London, and at length matters were settled, and his Indian
voyage again determined upon. Mt s. Frazer, it was arranged,
was to gu out to Berbiee, taking with her one of the children,
and leaving the others to the care of a relative. She Was to
take with her also a power of attorney, and upon her arrival
in the West Indies, the detimdant was to undertake the ma-
nagement mid adjustment of the property and concerns of the
plaintiff. For this purpose, Mrs. Fraaer left London for
Falmouth, while the plaintiff pursued his voyage to ludic,
and there, soon Otter his at-rival, was appointed to 4 high
situation iu the Island of Batavia. Outing the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Frazer in London, the affection and harmony
in which they lived was apparent to all who knew them inti.
mately, or who chanced t:t meet thou in company. The car-
camstatice of that separatiou he had described, and which
was necessary the the actual security of their own and child-
ren's happiness in a pecuniary way, was one of a heart•reed-
ing nano e. In confirmation of the strung feelings evinced
by Mrs. Frazer towards her 'unhand, be produced two letters;
written in 1815, and in the strongest terms ofaffeetiont
Such was the woman, who wes made the victim of base de-
struction by the defendant; by hits, who. has iug entrusted to
him the management of Ids dearest friend's interests, took ad_
advantage of the peculiar embarrass:nods, and violated his
Rife. .

Several witnesses pray 'J the affection of the man and wife,
luti after a speech from Mr. Gurney; the jury gave 1,2.101.
darnegre.

We have parpo4ely abstained from giving any details of the
trials now pending at Albi of the murders, as only occupying
space with a string of unintelligible circumstances, and ab-
surd judicial proceedings which as )et have thrown little
light on the transaction. The intolerable prevarications of
Madame Manson have been the principal cause of the con-
fusion and delay. She is now however accused of being a

EXTRACT OF A LETTER IN THE COURIER, PARIS, APRIL 17.
" You may ref mmber that Jausion (an opulent proprietor of
Rhodes) struck the first blow when the wretched victim was extended
on the table. Ilastide. perceiving that his countenance grew pale,
and that his hand faltered, seized himself the knife, exclaiming.—
• 'Firms ! ta etc saes pas tuer, briar tai luaiievcr. You know
not how to slaughter, let me finish him." Jail:dim, horror-stnick at
his own crime, fled from the house and regained his abode, where his
wife was expecting him to supper. All his efihrts to assume apparent
tranquility were unavailing; he ate nothing, nor replied to the qm'e-
tiwls to him. About an hour afterwards a knocking was heard
at the door; he went himself and empiired who was there? he was
answered,' Fualdus' ; and under the intivenee of terror, he opened
the door. and caw Missionner. and :mother. • You have lett the
work undone, but it is too late to retraet ; if you refuse sharing our
perils, we shall deposit the body of Fualdes at your doer to dispose
of as you may judge best.' Jansion had no alternative t he took his
bat and quitted, at he hoped, the house imp,reeistal by any one.
"Rut Madaine Jausion, wMse jealousy was proverbial at Rhodez,
was nut inattentive to the proceedings of her husband ; she conceived
he was engaged in an of kir of gallantry, and followed him and his
companions ut a dis'ance. (In seeing theni enter intu the Mason
Anew!, (which appears to have been al shameful celebrity to all
cbmses at Ithoderi, her suspicions were converted into certainty, and
sl:e sought after a stone to beat against the dour. In. the mean time
Jausion was in the kitchen, in the midst of the assassins, and Nladame
Manson was just discovered, and dragged into the room from the
cabinet she had bean hid in. Ilastide was furiously urging her mur-
der. when Madame Jausion knocked loudly at the door, calling out
Veynac, her husband's Christian name. Jansion recognized her
voioe. and Bastide was fn. refusing her admission, but Jausion de-
clared he knew her character so well, that if the door was not opened,
she would reuse the whole sticet. On thus representation she was let
in, in the view of conducting her to an adjoining closet, andpacity-
ing her by her husband's exertions; but she instantly precipitated
herself into the chamber, where she heard voices : and you may judge
of her dismay, when she found herself in presence-of a grump of as.
mains, oldie corpse fresh murdered on the table, of her husband and
Bastille struggling with each other fur Madame 'm anson. who was
lying sensele:s on the ground, with her pantaloons crimsoned with
the blood coller-ed in the pail."

A t the Petty Sessions at St. Albans, a few days since
Sarah Litchfield was charged before the Magistrates with,
endangering the life of her infant bastard child, by leaving it
in St. Jelian's Wood, about a mile distant limn St. Albans,
exposed to the inclemency of the weather, and destitute of
nourishment. The evidence agaiust the pri.oncr west to
prove, that the child had been left an the wood for two nights
find three days; that there was no road or path near the place,
and that the child's perilous situation was providentially dis-
covered by a man who was accidently walking by Itte aide of
the wood with his dog, and who was induced, by the dog's
standing at something in the wood, to go the spot. where he
discovered the child faintly crying, and almost lifidess. The
woman had lain in of the child at the workhouse of St. „lames,
IVesiminster, aboot nine weeks before, and on her coining
into the neighboorhood of St. Albans, called upon sonic of
her relations anu 'irdinmed them that her child had been
buried three weeks hefore,but having been previously seen in
the fields with a child in her arms the same afternoon, and
her breasts being discovered to be toll of milk, a suspicion
arose that she was the unnatural mother of theehild, which
ultimately proved to be the case, for un being traced and ap-
prehenned at her brother's' house, about thee wiles off, she
confessed the fact, and pretended to have gone twice into
the wood to suckle the intaut ; but no credit was liven to her
statement, and she was committed to the Liberty bad to false
her trial at the next assizes.

Mr. Drinkald, churclin arden of Allhallows, ILuk ing, come
'denied to the Lord Mayor of the incon%eniences sustained
by parishes in getting the Fignatetre of Magistrates to the
rt 'novel of impel 4. The Allhallows heedle had attend/ II on
one case, RCVCII de) s et the Mansion House, and on another
four, before an Aldermen could be procured. Thus
expellee was 'lrmo uu the perishes, and he had an idea of
petitioning the Common Council about it. The Lord Mayor
regretted flint the Magistratis were so reluctant to attend to
their Mike. anti observed that he had sometimes scut to
twelve Aldermen before he eon:4l get one.

her pocket was found 3-..111. The geutVntaa who attended ma
behalf of the Suciety stated, that though they were disposed
to show even• indulgence to suffering indigence, they were
on the other hand as firmly bent on punishing fraud and hy-
pocrisy. The Alagistrate fully committed her as a vagrant
to the nest sessions, and said she might be prosecuted for oh-
witting 11101111 under false pretences, and, if found guilty,

The constables then searched, and ht one of the rewire found
