and search was made, and on Monday afternoon he
went to the Tender to see if his brother had been
pressed and taken there, but found be had not ; he
then enquired of the.watermen at the stairs on both

evening he saw two young Men (watertnen), who,
from the deScription he gave of his brother, said they
had been in his company on the ThUrsday evening
at a public-house at Greenwich, with three women,
and gave him the address of two of "them in Hem-
lning's-row, St. Martin's7lanc, whither he went

in a boat with his brother, but they all went on
shore at Deptford-stairs;- and walked towards Lon-
don ;' that the woman who was with theth, and
whose name was Jones, resided in Brewer-street,
Golden-square ; that his brother stopped behind,
and that they had not heard any more of them.
He .then went to Jones, as directed -by the young
woman. She corroaborated their statement exadly..
Her reason -tot leaving the young women was be-
cause she was so tired that she could not walk any
further; that when she left them his brother went.
with her into a boat to came to London ; that they
had not been in the boat more than a quv.rter of an
hour when he fell out; several boats put off from
the shore to his assistance, but she was so lunch
alarmed that she desired the waterman to take her
on-shore. She said she made inquiries after the
young man, and was told he was taken up, atat..
saved; but that she did not wait to see hint, as site

stituted by several inhabitants of Upper 'Lichfield-
street, against William Richardson, carpenter and

ing shame." A considerable. not took place
on Monday night, a mob having assembled, the
Defendant. led on another party in opposition to

UNION HALL.--Yesterday five men, of the name 3
of Ernmin.Oon, Goal'], Kecf,.Taylor, and Micyar,
Were charged on the oath of Mr. Robson, of the
hotAe of Robson and Darnell, of Bermondsey, lea-
ther-dressers, with haying tonibined to demand of
them an increase Of wages, contrary to the Statute.
The fa&ls being proved, the masters offered, with
the approbation of the Magistrates, to give an in-
demnity for the past, if the men would undertake
to return to their work. Emmington accepted;the
offer, but the other four standing out, were all
committed, in pursuance of the . Statute, to the
House of Corrthion tor Surrey, to be kept to hard
labour for two months each.

MANsioN-HousE.—Yesterday an unfortunate ma-
niac was secured by some of the LORD MATotes Of-
ficers,. at the 'Change : his hands and person. were
covered with blood, as if he had recently committed
some murder. The unfortunate man exhibited
looks so wild and haggard, and was so fiercely fran-
tic, that he was not secured without some difficulty,
He was conveyed to the Poultry Compter.
The circumstances having been stated to the Lord
Mayor, he ordered him to be kept in security until
means can be devised to dispose of him in some re-
ceptacle for persons in his unhappy condition.
An ill-fated Hibernian was very reluaantly brought
before the Chief Magistrate, as the complainant in a
case of dreadful assault and battery, against a cam-
tro' Briton, his fellow-labourer in the same building.
The officer - who had interfered to rescue the com-
plainant from the furious attack of his antagonist,
stated, that the Welchman, the superior by nearly
half in bulk and strength, had knocked the Irish-
man down, and while prostrate brutally kicked-him
on the face, breast, and rib's and not satisfied with
this, seized him by the ears, and repeatedly knocked
his head against the
.pavement, in a manner that
would have fractured any skull of less density.
The objeB of this unmanly attack, though he ex-
hibited on his face and person the marks of his 'as-
sailant's .blows, yet said, With much simplicity and„
good-nature, he did not want'to prosecute the man,
as he was sorry for what lie had done ;' that they had
a drop of drink together, .and a little bit .of ,quarrel
broke out between them ; that may be he might be•
as much in fault as the other, 'and he had ,no objec7
tion to make it up.
The Officer, however, had his coat torn in pieces
-while endeavouring to secure the Prisoner, and for_
this he was obliged to make compensation, and was
dismissed.

Yesterday a journeyman painter, 'charged by his
master with felony, a few days since, but. against
whom the prosecution was withdrawn on- condition
of his entering for his Majesty's service, was brought
back from the tender whither he •had been sent yes-
terday by Alderman PR,lNs.zr,•having been rejected
by the Regulating Captain as unfit for service.
The Magistrate remanded him to prison, and or-
dered.notice to be given.to his master, in order that,.
it he is so disposed, he,may follow up the prosecu-
tion.•

YORK, ASSIZES.

RAPE AND INCEST.

Joseph Ingleson, of Mendwith, near Otley,in _the 1
West Riding, stood charged with the commission
of a rape or. the person of his own daaghter, a girl
fifteen years of age.
Gracelngleson, the. unfortunate daughter of the
Prisoner, stated, that on the 1 1 tit of July she went
with her father to cut turf, at Radlish, a distance of
six miles; that on their teturn, her father ,had
thrown her down in the cart, and, notwithstanding
her cries, had perpetrated the foul and unnatural
crime of which he stood charged ; yet, when the
question was pnt to her by the Judge, though she
was almost convulsed with agony by the recitation
of the transaelion, she asserted and persisted in it,
in the face of her own evidence, and the repeated
admonition of the Judge to speak the truth, that
the crime was committed with her own consent,
and that her father neither used violence nor threats •
Every moment, while she was giving her evidence;
she turned her
,eves towards her-father; with look,
which, if he had any thing human about him, must
have struck daggers to his soul.-
A person of the name of Robert Hudson, deposed,
that he saw the crime committed, but as he is en-
tirely deaf, he could not say whether the daughter
cried out or not.

The Judge, in his address to the Jury, aaid;
whatever suspicions they might have, and however
well-grounded those suspicions might be, that the
unhappy 'Witness, Grace Jugleson, had, to save'a
lather's suppressed a material part of the dread-
ful transaction ; yet as she had repeatedly declared
upon her oath, that she was consenting to the great
crirnt which had been committed, the Jury could
not :,atel cor“ict the prisoner.
'the Jury accordingly returned a verdi& of Not
Guiiiy. \Viten the Judge addressed the Prisoner in
the following terms :

Joseph-Ingieson; you have narrowly escaped
paytilg. tire turlcit of your life to ate offended laws
of yuur country. You are, there is too much rea-
son, w u believe, a very bad man ; and if you do not
repress your wicked propensities, you will certainly
terinioateyour lite at the gallows : you ought to be
tor ever ashamed of yourself, and hide your lace from
the view of your fellow-creatures."

The Prisoner At:fitted the bar, amidst the general
execraiiinis-of a crowded and indignant Court.
Witham Wilson, of Morley, in the West
was charged with stealing a piece of woollen ejoth,
46 yards in length, at the- Mixed Cloth Ha►l, at
-Leeds, being the property of limn ilaiusworth.
Mr. HEYWOOD opened the case, by stating, that
this was a prosecution instituted by the Trustees
of the Hall, to repress a practice,, which, be was
sorry► to say, had of Lite much increased, that of
stealing cloth from the Hail.

lair. Isaac Haiusworth stated.
.that be was a clo-
thier, and lived at Pudsey *attends the Leeds
Cloth Hall, where he has a stand. He also stated,
that previous to the 19th of July he had 14:tir pieces
791c0i beau-coloured cloth on his stand, one of .which
been removed, and which he afterwards saw in
the Committee-room of the Hall ; his piece had
his name sewed in it, as is usual, and also his place
oh' residence, but, hen he saw a in the Committee-
room, the name was picked out, with the exception
of the letter R. and also his place of residence, with
the exception of the letter U. •He was quite swe
it was his cloth ; among other marks it had some
shuttle-Inuit near the end, which he particularly
remem.)ered.

• John 'Siead, keeper of the Mixed Cloth Hall,
was .next examined. He stated,----trrat about four
o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday, the 19th of
July, he went through the Hall to see if all the
„cloth-makers had absconded, found Wilson, the
prisoner, tit his own stand, in Queen-street, he was
picking out a name flow a piece, Witneii Ap-
proached without being immediately perceiverby
the prisoner, but who, as'soon as he saw hint, has-
tily threw the 'Cloth together. Witness asked him
what business be had to pick out the mark ? Pri-
soner said it was to sow•it in again. Witness then
asked -him what be should think it he took him be-
fore the Trustees ? Prisoner, in reply, said, he.
hoped he would'not do so. • Witness said, it was
contraryk to their laws for any manufadurer to pick
out his name from his piece. The witness pro-
ceeded to state, that he took the piece to the
where it was Identified by Isaac
Hainsworth.

ed himself; but addressed the Jury in Mitigation of
damages. ,
11r. Serjeant MANLEY, the Sheriff's -Aisucsor,

summed up the evidence in a very dear and iui
partial manner.---He said, that all the -charges
ag,iinst the Defendant had been fully proved, anci-
that all the_injuries except two, had been wilfully:
andinalicionsly done. Though the Defendant had
ailed so shainefully bad, stiii the Jury would tact
give vindiCtive damages,—no such dainnges wcro
known in law,: they: would, however,. look to the
grievous injuries the Plaintiff's estate bad sudered,

and would riot measure the damages too nicely.
j-le had never known so gross an abuse of 3
firm, and he,trusted the Jury would not spare th'
Detendaut, bat make him pay to the, 'flaw:A
tar thing.
The Jury I.vithdrew, and shortly returned, assess-
ing the damages at 2 1 71.• Gd. with costs.

On his cross-examination, he said, the length of
a stand was about 22 inches, and that the Manu-
faCturers, in shewing their cloth; frequently en-
croached on each other, and that pieces were some-
times mislaid on a • wrong stand, which at times
created some mistake; He said, he found two
pieces of white cloth in the Hall belonging- to the
Prisoner. Witness • produced the cloth in .Court,
from which the Prisoner was picking the mark; it
was examined by the Prosecutor, Hainsworth, who
identified it as his property; and the same piece he
id seen at the Committee Room, and one of the
tour pieces he had 6n his stand previous to the 19th
of. July. The distance of the Prisoner's stand 'ruin
that of Hainsworth was stated to be 24 yards.
The Prisoner being called upon for his defence,
merely said," I am not guilty."
OU the part. of the 1 71soner, James Fox was
called, who stated; that one of Wilson's pieces liA•
part of the name picked out. •
Many most respectable Witnesses were called to
the Prisoner's character, who spoke of him, in the
highest terms, as an upright, honest luau ; persons
who had knowo him from a child.
His Lordship, after stating the evidence to. the
Jury, said, that in all doubtful cases charader
'ought to have the greatest weight ; but where it
was clear, it Could avail nothing ; nt this respect
the Jury would weigh well the evidence, and if they
