The Rev. Mr. Wingate, of the Establishet 1 Church, by
Sergeant MlLLER—resided for many Ye ars in Hun"
gery, and knew very well the fether teed to ether of the
plaintiff. He was considered one of the .most n
distin-
- g citizens in Pesth. I have brought money mhd
letters to the plaintiff from his pann.`!.3. I !bronstlit him
51. -;ad 3 packet of letters from his mother.. This eras in
January of the present year.
Mr. Sergeant MILLER said that was his eese.
hit. MACAULAY then submitted that his friend had not
proved the declaration.
Tie JUDGE said the charge atsainst the o.3ftril.lants
that they bad gone before a magistrate, and falsely
etel firilieiDualY, and without sufficient oataie, induced
him to grant a warrant for t!to arrest of the plainti:f, f it
having, by false pretenees, obtained from George Daw-
son the sea of 243. Now, there was no evieence of
whet occurred before the magietaste previoce, to the
arrest; and in the depositions read there was no proof
that Mr. Tyndall made any such charge egainit, the
plaintiff, and Mr. Ryleud only said that he did not be-
lieve that the women veal the Baroness Von Beck.
Teem was tie case whatever proved agains'; Mr. Pey-
ton. There was some evidence against Mr. Dawson,
wever, who did say in his deposition that the plain-
tiff had obtained from him 24e. on false pretences. The
whole case hinged upon the fact that the warrant was
obtained by the defendants lelsely and malciously, and
without sufficient cause, swearing before a megistrete,
provion3 to the issuing of a warrant, that the plaintiff
had obtained money upon Ilse pretences from Mr.
Dawson. There was no evidence, however, who it was
that made the charge, and there was no warrant which
would have set forth the fact produced. The deposi-
tions, which were most irregularly taken before the ma-
gistrates at the hearing of the case against the plaintiff,
were the depositions of witnesses, and as such did not
render them liable to an action.
jr. Sergeant MILLER contended that there was evi-
dence conjointly against all the defendants, and a suffi-
cient ease proved for the decision of a jury.
The JUDGE said, as there was evidence against Daw•
son, ho would not stop the case, anti it must therefore
proceed.
Mr. IVIACAULAY then rase and argued that in all the
points of the declaration, as affecting Mr. Dawson, proof
altogether failed, and that, even as regarded these, there
was no case for the jury.
Sergeant MILLER briefly replied.
The JUDGE, after stating his reasons for the decision
he was about to give, said it was very unfortunate, but,
if he was wrong, ho
might be corrected. In his opinion,
the plaintiff must be called. The declaration, owing to
certain failures in evidence, and other irregularities, was
not established, and he could not allow a case to go to a
jury when there was no evidence. Let him, at the same
time say, that he much regretted the result. Very
wrong and rash proceedings had been adopted by the
defendants; and, although the Baroness Von Beck might
have been wrong, of which he would say nothing, al-
though he was disposed to thick she was not, yet there
was no reasonable ground for supposing that this young
men, even if the baroness was an imposter, had been
guilty of the offence with which he had been charged.
As he (Baron Alders-en) had said before, ho regretted
the result of the present trial.
The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited, but it was un-
derstood in court that the action will be renewed.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, July 27.
Mr. Baron MARTIN, in charging the grand jury for
the city of Exeter, observed that there was a case of a
woman charged with concealing the birth of a child. So
many children had come to their deaths shortly after
birth, that the law had made sunk a concealment an
offence. No doubt many infants were found concealed
who had been born alive. There had just been a case in
Dorsetshire, where, if the jury had not acquitted the
prisoner (and no doubt they were right in so doing), he
would certainly have felt it his duty to have left the
woman for execution. In another case in the same
county the prisoner had been acquitted with perfect
propriety, because there had not been the necessary
proof; but there could be no doubt a child of ten years
had been barbarously murdered by some one. A sort of
practice had sprung up of acquitting women on charges
of murder, and finding them guilty of concealing the
birth, for which a short term of imprisonment was
gflierelly inflicted; but he much feared that the prac-
tice had led to the deaths of many children. lie
was sorry to say that these cases were in-
creasing, and, although it would be extremely painful
to the judges, the consequence would be that some
women would be executed. It must not be tolerated that
young women who had brought upon themselves the
burden and shame of having children to support should
thus escape the burden. In the present case there was
no evidence of the child having been born alive, and no
marks of violence had been found upon it; the charge,
therefore, would only be that of concealing the birth;
but after what had occurred at Dorchester he considered
it his duty to state what would certainly be the result if
the offences should be continued to be committed.
Richard Bartin was indicted for having, on the 22d of
July, wounded Henry Thomas Pratt, an infant of the
age of two years, with intent to murder it.
Mr. Lopes was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr.
Coleridge defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the child in question was the pri-
toner's child. Tho prisoner was a plumber and glazier.
On the 22d of July the prisoner was seen to go into
his house in a drunken state. Shortly afervrards
blows were heard followed by the cries of a child,
' which, as the blows were repeated, became
fainter and fainter. When the prisoner went into
his house he had a stick in his hand. After the cries
were heard persons went into the house, and found the
child lying in the cradle with blood on it. There was
a small wound two inches above the right ear, there
was a bruise on the temple, another on the abdomen,
and the right thigh, and the lower part of the back and
loins. At first there was danger, but the child wa3 now
recovering. There was blood on the pillow in the cradle.
Mr. COLERIDGE Urged to the jury that the man was
in such a state of intorsication that he could not have
had arty intent at all. He was in such a state of mind
that h was incapable of having any intent.
Mr. Baron MARTIN summed up. It was necessary
under this indictment to find an intention in the man's
mind, but it did seem to him that if the man had any
mind at all, if he was not totally deprived of all sense,
no man could beat a child so wii.hout an intention, at
ail events. to do grievous bodily harm. A
