supposed bequest of property to a Mrs. Shawl, It
at old lady of near po years of age. The property
consisted of 7001. a sum alleged to be vested in
the 5 per cent. stocks, in the mime of the last per-
s.% and a will making the disposition described,
was found lei Doctors! Commons. Mrs. Shand
was desirous to sell the reversionary interest us the
stock, sod a Mr. Huitt4ltiss, with whom she lived
av servant, undertook to conduct the bargain. The
Plaintiff being informed of the inteotion to sell the
reversion. such given to understand that the proprie-
tor could not survive more than a few months,
agreed to purchase it at 3401. hut before paying
the money, he employed the Defendant, an
my, to prepare the deeds, aid " to see that all
was right." Mr. Hodgkiss. on bring consulted
by the Defendant, stated, that he kiwi, nothing
concerning the property except from the will. A
clerk of the Defendant's writ to the Bat►k to in.
veatigate the fact of the existence of the stock, but
he would not be permitted to examine the books.
But the contract was completed, and the money
paid under the Defendant'a directions. This took
place in the year 1812 ; and in the year 1818. it
was discovered that the imagined stock had no exist-
ence. acid that the old lady was still living. The
Plaintiff brought leis action against Mr. M'Carthy
to recover his losses. and obtained a verdict.
The Learned Counsel supported his present ap-
plication on the Statute of Limitations, on which he
said he had relied at the trial as a good bar to the
action, and referred to the case of Bitty.. Faulk-
ner, where that statute had been held to be a good
plea. It had occurred to him, he said, on read-
ing over the evidence, that there existed a second
ground fur setting aside the verdict, viz. that the
first cutout in the declaration had been wholly un-
supported by soy evidence produced. It set forth
that the Plaintiff had employed the Defendant to
see whether that sum of 5001. 5 per cruet. stock was
standing to the honk.; whereas the evidence went
merely to the fact of the Defendant's bring em-
ployed to prepare the deeds ■nnd ate that all was
right.
The CHM JUSTICE asked whether that was not
an agreement to du every thing proper in the trans.
action ? At the trial lee had said, that where an
attorney was employed generally to see that all was
right, and neglected to de so. he became answer- i
able for the cuu•equences. He thought he had left
that point to the Jury, but with so strong an ex-
presaion of his own ()pluton as almost to amount to
a direction.
'flee Cotta? granted the rule on the ground of
the applicability of the Statute of Limitations.

STATE PRISONERS. '

!I
The Grand Jury for the City having Bono;
through the business of the Session", brought in
their 1.. t bills in the course of yesterday afternoon;
and having, delivered them, the Foreman read frau
• poorr the following address :
G* The ILendoit Greed leery having been refused 'Jalopies
to that pal of Newgate wherein the State Prisoners are Nu*
cualited, aud conceiving that they pumas as '.doubted risks
to visit the prison in every part, beg to slate this their im-
pression to the Gnarl ; and, enwilliNg to compromise 'het
which they conceive to he their right, they respectfully bet
Grossly claim from the Court, the privilege of 'peon over the
whole of Nengate, which they believe bas Never hitherto been
questioned:*
The Common Serjesot observed. that Mr.
Brown, the keeper, had a most awful response-
bili.y on his hoods, end he could not say that. in
refusing the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury admis-
sion to the placer in which the persons spoken of
were confined, that he had acted improperly. The
consequence might be very serious if they were ad-
mitted, because the prisoners might make a rush,
and by it attempt an e.cape. He (the Common
Serjetint) was confident from Mr. Brown's general
good character, that he could toot have any inten-
tion to insult the Grand Jury, he was only doing
that which he conceived, and perhaps eery pro-
perly, to be his duty. He (the Common Serjeant)
could not therefore nay, that the Grand Jury had a
right of admission.
The Foreman observed, with great submission
and deferesoce, that as the Grand Jury they had a
right to inspect every part of the gaol of Newgate.
Mr. Common Serjeaut—Are you Magistrates,
Gentlemen ?

Foreman—No, I am not; but I claim my right
as one of the Grand Jury.
The Common Serjearit observed, that the ques-
tion was not before the Court, and he could not
give them an authority to visit those places.
Jury—We claim it as a right.
Mr. Common Serjeaut—Mr. Brown has • most
awful responsibility placed upon him.
' Mr. Brown—My Lord, I only refused the Gen-
tlemen admission into the places su winch the State
Prisoners are Confloed.
Mr. Sub-Sheriff 'Turner—Mr. Sheriff Rothwell.
my Lord, has been consulted upon the subject, and
he has given his full concurrence to what Mr. Brown
has done.
Foreman of the Jury—We beg leave most re-
apectfully to protest against the power exercised
by the Court.
Mr. Common Serjeant—Well, Gentlemen, the
question is not before the Court. If Mr. Brown
has acted wrongly or improperly, you have your
remedy ; you can try the question.
The Foreman said they should do so, sod with-
drew.

The Jory proceeded to inspect Newgate most
minutely. but were slot permitted to ruler the
places in which the State Prisoners are confined.
Shortly after seven o'clock they entered the Court,
and made the following presentment, which wee
reed by Mr. Clarke, the Deputy Clerk of Ar-

reigns
" The Lourdes Grated Jury respectfully beg leave to pre-
sent to the Court, that, is their opinion, the alarming in.

practised offroders. The Grand Jury, therefore, cowardly
implore McGinn to give their must serious slid immediate
attention to this deplorable state of Newgate Primes and to
adopt each measures as shall effrcnially remove Ibis great
discredit from the metropolis.
" The Grand Jury beg leave respectfully further to pee.

After which the Coin Seijeaut observed'
to the Grand Jury. that for the latter part
of their presentment thene.was no foundation what-
ever. The Grand Jour `had tin such right ; in
that, therefore, they were mistaken. It was a
custom which from time to time had been al-
lowed; but be'denied that ally such right existed,
Or that 'the 'Grand Jury ought to interfere. The
Bully of Niagistratts and- the Court of Aldermen
had the power of regulating the di.cipline of the
prison; but it war quite a fallacy to suppose that
the -Grind Jury had any such right or privilege
handed down to them, it was, its fact, merely !multi
to such Grand Jurors or others whir went there for
publiC or beneficial purposes. He concluded by
repeating. that no-such right had existed. tier did
it now exist. He then dtachatgr4 the Jury with
thanks for their services.

LANCASTER. ♦PRIL 5.
GILL. ESQ. V. AUBREY, ESQ.

Mr. SCARIATT opened the caw to the Jury, and
afterwards proceeded to the examination of wit-

• The first witness called proved the marriage of
the parties at Liverpool, in October, 1808.
John Bonner, Esq. then deposed to his acquaint.
once with the Defendant, who had married a Lady
coosiderably older than himself. Witness said the
families of Plaintiff and Defendant visited each
eviler : he was intimate with all the parties, and had
ample opportunity of noticing their cotiduct ; he
toroirr 'Jaw the slightest impropriety it the conduct
of Mr. Aubrey inwards Mr. Gill. nor in that of
Nip". Gill towards any man. Witness's last visit
to Mr. Gill's was in October last, when he and his
w.fir spent a few days there, and though he observ-
ed an estrangement in the manner of Mrs. Gill, he
not observe the slightest abatement of affection
to Mrs. Gill, who appeared to be a peculiarly kind
and affectionate wife. Before and after marriage,
Pidutiff had resided in Montgomeryshire, and three
sit four years ago, he resided for some time in Here.
I,irdshire. During his visit to Plaintiff in October
last, Plaintiff told witness that, in 1817, having &-
Pied Mrs. G. to meet him at Worcester (he hay-
hero in London), he disguised himself, and
detected Mrs. G. in an appointment with Defend-
ant, chow she *hewed her apartments at the inn,
rod received * letter from, which as soon as the
lad read in the street, Mr. Aubrey drove out of
town in his gig. Witness knew of Mr. G's. sus-
picion previous to this. Subsequently, witness told
Mr. 0. that Mr. Aubrey was desirous to enter into
an exploitation with him, and to satisfy his mind.
'Phis Mr. 0. declined, much to witness's surprise.
as Mr. G. had expressed himself ,fully satisfied of
Mrs. o.'s guilt, and had desired Mrs. G.'s rela-
tions to send fur her, but she had refused to quit
the house.
Alin Morgan, wife to Mr. Gill's coachman, de-
po.ted to having seen Mrs. G. at the latter end of
1817, go down a dirty lane to the back door of Mr.
Aubrey's house at Hereford, which she entered;
witness had previously seen Mr. A. look up and
down the lane ; she described Mrs. G.'s dress.
Matilda Morse deposed to having seen • Lady
dressed as last witness had described Mrs. G. go
ion, Mr. Aubrey's house, thrlough the back door,
two or three times in die end of October, 1817 ;
our time she had previously seen Defendant looking
uo the lane, he immediately went in, and presently
the Lady went quickly down the lane, and went in,
sod came out in about half an hour.
Two other witnesses deposed to u Lady, dressed
as Mrs. G. had beets described, entering the back-
door of Mr. A.'s house at the time stated.
Ellen Lewis WAS a most important witness. She
stated that she lived a year mod three quarters in the
service of Mrs. ‘Vaitivriiglii, in Wild Marsh-street,
Hereford; her house was uppooie to that occupied
by Mr. Aubrey; lie entered to the house in the year
1817. Witness knows the dravring-room ; one of
Mrs. Wainwright's upper rooms commands a view
into this room. Witness knows Mrs. Gill, has %et%
her in the street, and has seen her go into Mr.
Aubrey's house many times, perhaps a dozen, at
different periods of the day, at ten o'clock, half.
toast ten, and eleven o'clock in the morning. There
were seldom any person with her; upon bile aces.
moo she saw Mr. Gill with her, and sometimes her
female servants was with her, and sometimes her
little one. Witness has seen her go frequently
alone; the times she went the latest was whets she
had somebody with her. Witness has seep Mrs.
Gill both • in the lower and the upper mum, but
more frequently in the latter. Upon one occasion
she saw Mr. Aubrey lean toward* tier to kiss her ;
she wsesittisig in a chair and did not move, but
witness cannot state positively whether he did kiss

her or root. Witness said when Mrs. Gill left the
house, Mr. Aubrey attended her to the door. in a
different manner to what he did ant other lady.'
Being desired to explain in what this difference con-
'sine& winters said he talked to her at the door,
mid it omitted to the witness as if hr was speaking
to her toner ' g the meeting with her soon. They
generally 'muensted some minutes in convenatiest
before she quitted the house. Witness then said
that in Jauuary or February, 1818; she saw Mr.
Aubrey and Mrs. Gill in the trout room together
• • • • Witness described with great minuteneic
what she had seen, and which she said she 411841001 y
CM front a window in her mistress's Inise. Wit-
ness represented this scene ss taking ',bore between
ten and clever* o'clock in the g. Wetness
never saw this kind of familiarity more than
once. %Villain has known Mrs. Gill leave the
house before Mr. Aubrey has come down to break-
fast. Waiters stated that those mornings when
Gill visited iM►. Aubrey, he remained at home the
whole morning; at other times he generally vomit
out between eight and nine o'clock in the mousing.
Witness was cross-extmisted at great length by
Mr. RAIN E.—Mrs. Gill was in the habit of visiting
Mrs. Aubrey. She, the wittiest, was first striated
to iu January, 1818, by Mr. Gill, who sent Harris
down to her, to desire that she would be upon the
watch. A telescope was provided for her, which
was given to her by Harris, brit she did not use the
telescope to view the scene which she had been de-
scribing. After some important question., as to
the situations the witness bad been iti since she
quitted Mrs. Wainwright, she stated that she was
• fortnight at Worcester, in lodgings, provided for
her by Mr. Gill. She took tea with him at a pub-
lic-house. After some hesitation she admitted that
lie took hold of. her hand, soil that she drank part
of a glass of rum and water with him. Mr. Gill
never called upon her more thus, three times at her
lodgings; she was waiting there fur the commence-
ment of the Assizes. %Varlets said it was more
than a year after the transaction, that she comniti-
nicated it to Mr. Gill ; her stiller had dissuaded
her from doing it. She wished him to find it out
by some other means. Mr. Gill did nut supply
her with money; he did not purchase the dress she
had on. Witness was in private lodgings at Lan-
caster, and not with the other witreents. Her
sister was with her. Mr. Gill had not called every
ell? to see her ; may have called three or four tunes.
Mr. Gill appointed to meet the witness at Worces-
ter. Sue had written to hint to inform him that
she was going from Gloucester to London, and that
it Wan to prevent the great expense of bringing her
from town, that he had provided the lodgings fur
her at Worcester.

Mr. Justice PARC—flaying been employed by
Mr. Gill to watch, and having seen what you have
elated yourself to have seen, why did vou not men-
ti it to Mr. Gill much earlier ?—Witeirrs replied,
that she had been advised by her sister not to men-
tion it. !Loris often stoked her if the hail seen any
thing; witness told him that the had seen some-
thing, hut would not say what. She told him the
very month in which it occurred that she had seen
something. Wittiest; said she had told Mr. Gill
that she had not seen any thing. %Vitiates said that
Mrs. Aubrey breakfasted in that very room the
same morning that that trensaction took place.
Witness said she told Harris that 'something parti-
cular had occurred. Witness coniumincated it to
her sister : never told her plain, but her sister knew
what she meant. Mr. Aubrey keeps four servants.
Samuel Harris is the keeper of a turnpike-gate
near Hereford. Mr. Gill came to him and desired
that he would watch Mrs. Gill. Mr. Gill then
lived at Hailstone-hill. Wittiera stated that he fre-
quently raw Mrs. Gill pass through his gate. gene-
rally alone. In the month of January, 1818, he
saw Mrs. Gill anti Mr. Aubsey in a room toge-
ther. Witness raid lie saw Mr. Aubrey go through
the gate on foot between three and four o'clock in
the saleroom' (Mr. Gill and the servants were from
home.) Mr. Aubrey went towards Mr. Gill's cot-
tage, and witness followed at • distance: he saw
Mr. Aubrey walk twenty yards put the cottage;
lie then returned and entered the gate, and walked
into the house. Witness, as soon as the dour was
shut, concealed himself in a laurel bush. Mr..
Gill and Mr. Aubrey came into the room soon after.
Witness then proerrsird to detail a scene exactly
similar to 014 described by Ellen Lewis. Wittier.
having satisfied iris curiosity. got unobserved away.
Witness underwent a very long and severe cross-
examination; in which he equivocated so much,
that the Judge threatened to commit hint. Wit-
ners stated, that tlw first time he communicated
this extraordinary occurrence to Mr. Gill was uu
the very they that he war examined by his attorney,
in reference to the evidence he was to give on this
trial, which was its the present year. Wituers was
employed by Mr. Gill to watch: he was to follow
the coach to Wrexham : he weut as far as Church
Suellen. and then told Jones, the coachman. that
it was of no use going any further, who said he
believed it wits of no use. A question bring re-
peated. if 1w dui not say that it was of ots use to
watch. as Mrs. Gill was innocent, or something to
that effect, he 5ti0,..1 several times that be did nut
say that word, mid equivocated so much, that the
Judge again threatened to commit him. He then
admitted that he might have said that Mr. Gill
would never find any thing out. Witness knows
Mr. Watkins. the auctioneer ; had sonic talk
with him in June, 1818. lung after the laurel
bush affair ; that was the time when a hole
was to be bored from an empty house adjoining
Mr. Aubrey's', for the purpose of watching Mrs.
Gill, but it was found impracticable. as the wall
was hollow. Mr. Gill was assisting in this boring
scheme. Mr. G. knew nothing about the laurel
bush at that time; the tenon why he did not com-
municate it to Mr. G. was because he was authorised
by his own wife not to do it. This was the only
reason the *ones, could assign for his lung silence.
Witness said that Mr. G. was in disguise in his (the
wititerier) house two nights and one day ; be was
disguised in a great coat, a red ruff, and a wig.
Thu was in December, 1818, for the purpose of
watching Mrs. Gill. Mr. G. saw hill WIC pars the
gate, but he did not follitw her. Stir was followed
by the witness's' wife.

Mr. Justice could you see this
poor Gentleman diptrrooilig himself in this manner
to obtain tocurninticiii, rod yet remain ',lent, though
you haul seen all about it hum the laurel bush ?
Witness—l.My owu wife told rue uat to tell."

Witness has not had mach money ream Gill; he I
may have had from 81. to 101. to pay expenses.
Some further questions were asked respecting •
curious device winch Mv. G. was supposed to have
proposed to ascertain the guilt or innocence of his
wife, but of it nature unfit for the public eye.
Witness Paid that it was Mr. G. that produced an.
instrument for bur* with, and that Mr. Gill and
Mr. Watkins bored through the wall in the house
adjoining to Mr. Aubrey, but they found it of no
weews. the wall wry hollow. The boring was about
Christmas in 1818.
Mr. RAINS rose to address the Jury for the De-
fendant; but the Jury, after conferring together 'a
short time, said it was unnecessary, as they were
already satisfied.
The Plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited, much
to the satisfaction of a crowded Court.

Mr. Justice PARK said, there never was more un-
fortunate pains taken to procure evidence, and
never with less success; as be never knew a weaker
case on the part of the Plaintiff. He said the evi-
dence given by the fermate servant, Ellen Lewis,
was MOST INCSIDIBLZ.
