SCOTTISH HOSPITAL

Yesterday the St. Andrew's Anniversary Din-
ner, in aid of the above charitahle Institution, took place at
the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. His Royal
Highness the Duke of CLARENCE took the Chair at about
half-past six, and during the dinner a Scotch Piper, in the cos-
tume of his country, repeatedly made the circuit of the room
playing several national airs. When the cloth was removed,
" Non nobis Domine" was sung with great ability by the Pro-
fessional Gentlemen who attended. It is but justice to them to
say, that throughout the entire evening they acquitted them-
selves in a style of superior excellence, and they repeatedly
excited the approbation of the Illustrious Chairman. The
greatest harmony predominated, and several loyal and patriotic
toasts were drank with enthusiasm. The following were the
principal toasts:—
" The King, God bless him"—Four times four. The Na-
tional Anthem; God save the King, which followed this toast
was `received with rapturous enthusiasm--" The Royal Fa-
mily"—" The Army"—" The Duke of Clarence and St.
Andrew's"—" The Duchess of Clarence"—" The wooden
walls of England"—" The Kirk of Scotland"—" The Scottish
Corporation"-." The Duke of Montrose"—" The Vice-Presi-
- dents"—" The Land we live in"—" Alderman Thompson and
the Corporation of London," &c. &c.
When the health of the Duke of Clarence was drunk,
-His ROYAL HIGHNESS returned thanks, and addressed the
-company at some length. It was a source of pride to him he
said, to be elected now for the fifteenth time, President of the
Scottish Corporation, the objects of which the Lord Bishop of
Bath and Wells, had recommended as truly acceptable in the
sight of God, and in forwarding which, an individual would at
once be consulting the benefit of mankind and his own. Of the
Scottish nation he spoke in terms of high praise, and lie was
happy to observe that jealousies between that country and Eng-
land were every day subsiding. We were now one in interest,and
we ought also to be one in fellowship and good feeling. He was
anxious that Gentlemen should be aware of the distinction be-
. tween the Scottish Corporation and the Caledonian Asylum,
which were frequently confounded. The former was designed
to supply the indigent Scotch in this metropolis with the means
of returning to their own country—the latter to educate those
of a tender age who would be otherwise destitute of instruction ;
and this he conceived to be the more useful establishment of the
two. His Royal Highness dilated with great eloquence
on the importance to us of our American Colonies, and expres-
sed regret that their value was not generally known. He re-
joiced, however, to perceive that we were now becoming more
sensible of our Colonial interests, and he hoped that the em-
brace between the mother country and her dependencies would
• every day become more close.
Some other Speakers addressed the Chair in perfect accord-
ance with the sentiments of his Royal Highness, when affability
and good humour were subjects of universal panegyric. He
was in high spirits and evidently enjoyed the hilarity of the
. evening. At a quarter to twelve his Royal Highness retired.

Halton, the celebrated runner, was killed in
.a pugilistic combat with a Bath tinman of the
.name of Henderson, on Monday, after a combat
of two hours, at Newnham.

LAW INTEI/J,IGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, N0v.30.
CONSPIRACY.

THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF ASKEW, T. PERROT

AND ANOTHER.

This was an indictment against Elizabeth Virginie Perrot
and Victor Bertrand, for conspiring falsely to indict James
Askew for Stealing various articles of jewellery, the property of
Perrot, and nine promissory notes of the Bank of France of
I,ooof each, the property of Bertrand.
The case of the prosecutor when on his trial at the Old Bailey
is fresh in the recollection of our readers. It will be remem-
bered that this individual, a tradesman in Oxford-street, was
charged by the present defendants with stealing from the
dri.wers of Mademoiselle Perrot, ,who had been engaged in his
business, the articles in question. After the case for the pro-
secution had been closed, the Recorder was of opinion that
the evidence, if true, only proved a breach of trust, and di-
rected an acquittal, which the Jury, with some reluctance, pro-
nounced.

JESSOP (with whom was Mr. Dowr.ING) opened the
case for the prosecution, and called the following witnesses to
suppOrt-it. _ _

James Askew, the prosecutor, told his story as follows :
I was tried at the Old Bailey on the prosecution of the defend-
ants, who'are now in Court, and who only with their attorney,
Mr. Hubert, were examined at the trial. In August, 1823, I
was the head partner in the firm of Askew and Normanville, at
No. 25, Oxford-street. AVe imported millinery from France,
and retailed hats. Charles Harner Hill was My partner. In
September, in that year, I went to Paris for the purpose of en-
gaging a French milliner. In consequence of a recommendation
I received, I went to Miss Perrot, whom I found in a lodging
near the Hospital of Invalids. She occupied a single room,
furnished with a bed, two or three chairs, and a table. Her
dress did not bespeak affluence. She referred me to her brother,
Victor Bertrand. 1 found him carrying on the business of a
grocer. An agreement was concluded between me and Miss
Perrot for 2,000 francs "a year, and her board, washing, and
lodging, that she should undertake the direction of the business
we were about to establish. About the lOth or 11th of October
she accompanied me to England, having advanced her 200
francs at her request, in Paris, to purchase articles of dress.—
On our arrival, she went into a lodging in Berwick-street. She
continued to lodge there till the February following, and then
came to live in our house, Mrs. Askew having left it. Miss
Perrot slept in a bed room beyond a work room where the ap-
prentices worked. I furnished it. There were drawers to
which there were two keys, one kept by her, one by me ; she
knew I had one. On the 30th of April, or the Ist of May, I
saw Bertrand, who had come to England, and accompanied
hint to my own house. He brought with him a large trunk,
with double padlocks, which he brought into my house. His
trunk was placed in Miss Perrot'S room. He boarded and slept
in my house. He took lessons in English, for which I paid,
because he represented to me that he had been unfortunate at
Paris. I advertised to procure him a situation, and paid for the
advertisement. After this Miss Perrot begged me to furnish
301. to procure him a situation. I agreed to do it, and Miss
Perrot said I might deduct it from her salary. I occasionally
supplied him with small sums of silver at his own request. I re-
visited Paris about the 19th of May, having first altered the
terms of Miss Perrot, who had become highly useful,
to 4,000 francs, a year, and agreed to give her a share
of the business. Bertrand afterwards went away, and took
with him his trunk. On the 4th of July Miss Perrot went to
Cheltenham as agent to our house, and opened a shop
there. Eliza Hudson and Emma Rubeck accompanied her.—
I went to Cheltenham to see her, and afterwards, on the 14th
of August, having received letters from the defendants, I
had received no remittances between my visits. On the 13th I
took out a writ against I'errot for 55/., and on the 14th ar-
rested her at Cheltenham. I had_ asked her for the balance,
and she refused to pay it. I directed Bertrand to be sent for,
and that she might have an attorney to assist her. The next
day she left my service, having paid the money into the sheriff's
hands. On the 15th I returned to London. I have never re-
ceived the money. On the 17th of August I saw the de-
fendants at my house, who came about the furniture in the
bed-room. I told them it was mine. I afterwards caused
Bertrand to be arrested for 15/. for board, lodging, and money
lent; he paid the sum immediately.
An anonymous letter, writen by the witness's directions to
Miss Perrot was produced. It referred to another letter ad-
dressed to Miss Perrot.

The witness continued—l procured the letter referred to
from the drawers of Miss Perrot, which I opened with my own
key. I was much irritated at the time, and opened all the
drawers, and looked into all, and examined them. I saw no
jewellery, except an old-fashioned pair of ear-rings. On my so-
lemn oath, there were no Bank-notes in the letter; none in the
drawers; no diamond cross ; no piece of a comb set with dia-
monds ; I think a ring or two, which I did not take out ; no
gold buckle ; no silver spoons or forks ; no securities for
money. There were linen, stockings, and things, but I did
not remark them. I sent an anonymous letter, because they
were extremely troublesome to me, and 1 thought if they
found 1 had discovered their character they would not proceed.
I was served with process at the suit of Perrot for 151. or there-
abouts. The action was non-pressed. I was applied to for
the wearing apparel about the 18th of August. On the Ist
of September Mr. Hubert applied to me. 1 shewed him the
letter which I had taken from the drawers. On the 11th of
September 1 delivered to him the clothes in the drawers,
keeping back nothing but the
.letter which 1 hold. On the
14th of September I was taken up on a warrant, on the charge
on which I was tried and acquitted.
Cross-examined by Mr. BitOUGHAM-I got an excellent
Character of Madame Perrot from Sir John Douglas, whom I
met in my way to Paris. It was confirmed by his lady. A
M. Paul intepreted between me and Bertrand. He was in a
grocery business, in a small shop—a window on each side of
the door. I refused to give up the furniture, because it was
mine. She had not bought this furniture, or any furniture—
that I swear. She had a receipt for some ftirniture which she
never paid for—not a halfpenny.—(A receipt handed to the
witness.)—That is my hand-writing. Miss Perrot knew I had
a key of the drawers. She did not give it me. 1 don't sup-
pose I ever shewed it to any one in her presence. I bought
the drawers. The man brought two keys; I kept one, and
she the other. I don't know why I kept one. At the Old
Bailey 1 don't recollect a word about the double key. My
Counsel cross-examined Miss Perrot more than an hour. On
the second agreement, I understood her admission to the busi-
ness was to depend on the decision of arbitrators. She never
demanded 701. as due to her for wages. When I saw her
at Cheltenham, I told her if she would make put the ba-
lance I would settle it. I did not go on with the action, be-
cause I had no opinion of the bail or the principals, and be-
cause I was a ruined man, and had no money. On my
second visit to Paris, I found that Ai. Bertrand was not the
brother to Misi Perrot; but this made no difference in my
treatment to her. I treated her with respect and -atten-
tion—l don't recollect saying any thing about my heart—
certainly not on deliberation. There might be six young
ladies living in my' house. I can't recollect who wrote the
anonymous letter by my desire—l really think Mr. Jen-
nings—l can't recognize the hand. Mr. Hubert introduced
himself to me as the friend of the French Ambassador, and
as mediator, that I might receive Miss Perrot again. He
did not then say any thing about her property. He read
the letter which I found in the drawers through. He never
mentioned the 701. due for wages—not at all. Ile claimed
nothing; but asked me to receive her again. At the
next visit he brought Miss Perrot with him. I declined
afterwards to see her. I took •Mr. Hubert into the room.
I won't swear I mentioned the key. I handed him into
the room, and he took what was in the drawers. Mr. Hu-
bert asked how [ obtained possession of the letter; and I
refused to tell hive, for he was a stranger. I swear I did not
then tell Hubert I had no key ; 1 will not swear 1 did not say
so at the last meeting. Mr. Hubert never told me if I would
explain how I became acquainted with the letter, all proceed-
ings should be abandoned. He never talked of any bills then,
or at any other time. I was taken before Alr. Griffiths on a
summons, attended by my attorney and Mr. Adolphus. I
don't remember that it was said if I would account for my pos-
session of the letter, 1 should be discharged. There was much
noise anti disturbance in the room. I always wished to explain
how I came by the letter, but Mr. Falkner, my attorney, said'
Mr. Adolphus would not allow it, and would throw up his
brief if I did. I was very angry, because he acted quite con-
trary to my instructions.
The anonymous letter was then read. It merely contained
an extract froin the letter found in the drawer. " A child
with light eyes demands the assistance and attention of your
sister."

A receipt given by the prosecutor to Miss Perrott for the price
of the furniture, 151.85., was read.

Emma Unit, an assistant to Mr. Askew in his business, said
she bad frequent and familiar communications with Mis Perrot,
and had often been in her bed-room, and had seen the contents
of her drawers. She had seen Miss Perrot possessed of a gold
chain and coral necklace; she never saw a diamond cross, a
gold buckle, silver knives or forks, or• piece of comb set with
diamonds. She had never heard speak of these articles, or any
of them. This witness said Bertrand, on coming to Chelten-
ham, borrowed halfpence at the coach-office and paid the coach.
man. When Bertrand was arrested, be said, "he would bring
Mr. Askew as low as the ground," and said so repeatedly.
Cross-examined—There might have been trinkets, which she
did not recollect.

Elizabeth Hudson, another assistant, gave evidence very
similar to that of the last witness, and said Bertrand showed

her paper as French money, not at all like a note of the Bank
of France produced. After the arrest, Bertrand and Perrot
said " they would be revenged on Askew, and would bring
him as low as their feet."

Mary Johns, who was Servant of Mr. Askew when Miss
Perrot resided there, said Miss Perrot showed her two or three
pair of ear-rings, and two or three finger rings; but.shc did not
recollect a diamond cross, or a comb set with diamonds ; she did
see an oval gold buckle, but never saw silver spoons, or silver
finks ; she did see her 'with a gold chain. She did recollect
the application of Miss Perrot to Mr. Askew for 301. for her
brother.

Emma Unit, and Elizabeth Jenkins, young women in the
employ of Mr. Askew, were called, but merely proved they had
not seen the principal articles, and corroborated the other wit-
nesses as to the expressions used.
John .)eyes, an apprentice of Mr. Askew, said he had heard
Miss Perrot call Bertrand her brother; and that he had paid
her small sums, and small sums to the English master of Ber-
trand.

John Lucas said he went to Mr. Askew's to demand property
for Miss Perrot, with Mr. Ilutchins, who had a list of the ar-
ticles. No Bank notes were demanded, he was positive; but a
chest of drawers containing valuable property. The property
was stated, hut lie did not recollect the particulars. Mr. Askew
said he wished for a written order, signed by Miss Perrot, and
then he would give up the property.
Samuel Abraham, an attorney, said he was employed to make
a demand of !Mr. Askew of some effects by Miss Perrot, and
was directed to bring an action of trover.
A Sheriff's Officer proved, oh the arrest of Bertrand, he gave
Miss Perrot his watch ; and having opened a trunk, took out a
box of trinkets, and went out, and returned with money to'pay
the debt. On asking for civility money, Miss Perrot said she
was very poor, and had but a few shillings.
Ann Broadfoot, of 82, Berwick-street, in whose house Ber-
trand lodged, stated that Miss Perrot and Bertrand 'declared
they would be revenged of Askew ; they would hang him, and
have his blood. When Mr. Askew was committed, Miss Per-
rot came into the kitchen, and thrusting her hands on the table
said, " I have committed him to Neivgate ; I'll be revenged on
him ; I'll hang him." The witness said, " Stop, stop, Ma'am,
you can't bang a man here; he must be tried by a jury first."
(A laugh.)—When asked for money, she said she had 151.
wrapped up in whitey brown paper in Mr. Askew's drawer.
This was before the committal.

Samuel Green said that 11isS Perrot warned him, who had
been used to supply 11r. Askew with goods, as he would not
pay for them ; and afterwards reprsented him as in debt.. On
another occasion both defendants abused Mr. Askew.

Mr. Claggett, a pawnbroker, proved that on the 17th August
Miss Perrot pledged with him three gold watches, two gold
chains, three seals, ore locket, two rings, and one comb. Af-
terwards a gold watch. These articles were redeemed in No-
vember by Mr. Hubert.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Bit° U 011 A st addressed the Jury for the defendants. He
urged the extreme hardship of the situation of his clients who
could not prove that they were actually possessed of the pro-
perty which they alleged was left in the drawers, except by
calling witnesses from Paris, whose attendance they could not
enforce, and whose expences they could not pay. The whole case
against the defendants rested on the credit given by the Jury to
Askew, whose testimony was the corner-stone of the prosecution
and which, if credited, drew the whole after it. The Learned
Counsel then commented at large on the evidence of Askew ;
on his raising the salary of Miss Perrot, and agreeing to take
her into partnership; on his arresting her at a time when she
obviously was not his debtor; on his statement, now for the
first time made, of two keys to the drawers, which no one
Could believe ; on his conduct in opening the drawers and
taking out a private letter of the most delicate nature, and
then writing an anonymous letter to the owner to taunt her
with its discovery. Could the Jury, he asked give any credit
to such a witness ? But this was not all : he swore furniture
in Miss Perrdt's room Wai his property, and he was contra-
dicted by his own receipt ; he swore that she owed him money,
and yet he desisted from his own action against her on frivolous
pretences : he swore that :tie never was told he should be libe-
rated from all persecution, if he explained his possession of the
letter, and in this he would be contradicted by the attorney and
the magistrate ; and he would be distinctly contradicted by
Mr. Hubert as to the property demanded and the negociations
which preceded the charge. Mr. Askew had denied that he
ever seriously talked to Miss Perrot about " his heart," and
yet, a letter addressed to her at Cheltenham would prove that
he took no little interest in her concerns. As to confirmation
of his story, from witnesses who did not see those trinkets, it
amounted to nothing ; for the pawnbroker called on the part
of the prosecution, proved that the defendants possessed consi-
derable property, of which they knew nothing ; and conse-
quently they might have much more. The Jury would take
into their consideration this evidence, and would, in the re-
sult, give, gladly give, their verdict of acquittal to theseun-
fortunate foreigners.

Mr. George Hubert was then called, and said—l am em-
ployed by Perrot in the latter end of August, 1824, and
by her directions called on the 4th of September on Mr. Askew
at his house in. Oxford-street. I stated to him that I ap-
plied to him on behalf of Miss Perrot, in consequence of dif-
ferences which had subsisted between him and her, and espe-
cially an arrest at Cheltenham. I wished him• to come to an
arrangement respecting her salary, upwards of 701., and also
to deliver property which she had at. his house. He said there
was property of hers, which was locked up, and he knew no.
thing of it. I pulled out an inventory, which is here, and
showed it to him. He said she was a very bad woman, she
had robbed him, and he would prove her to be a bad woman
by a letter. He produced the letter and a translation ; I asked
where he obtained it ? Ile said it was of no consequence
where he got it, he had it, and that was sufficient to the pur-
pose. Miss Perrot had previously described this very letter
as left ,in her drawers. He said he should do nothing
without consulting his attornies, to which I acceded. Early
in the nest week I called again, with Miss Perrot, and I
made an appointment to meet him on the following day. I
again demand 701. on behalf of Miss Perrot, and complained
of the arrest, which he said lie could justify. On the 11th I met
him, and he agreed to deliver up the property, if she gave an
order to that effect, and put use in possession of the key of her
drawers. He said he would not permit her to enter his house.
I got soon after the order and the key, and opened the drawers.
He went up to show them to me, and immediately left
the rooni. I proceeded to search the drawers diligently, and
found some trifling linen, and a pain of diamond ear-rings.
At the second interview, I mentioned that Miss Parrot attached
particular importance to the letter. I asked bins how he could
detain a confidential letter of that description ? I stated to him
on both occasions (the 4th and the 11th), that Miss Perrot said
there were bank bills with the letter, I told hint her drawers
were left locked ; he did not tell me how he opened them.
Four or five days after, Mr. Askew was taken before Mr.
Griffiths. On his second examination, it, was stated by Mr.
Phillips and Mr. Griffiths, that if Mr. Askew would give an
account how he came by that letter, it would very much alter
the complexion of the case. This was repeated twice or thrice
by the Magistrate. An application was made to bail him, when
Mr. Phillips said he would not oppose it, if lie would say how
he came by that letter. He gave no explanation whatever.
Cross-examined—l am of French extraction, and perfectly
acquainted with that language. I am not Attorney to the
French Embassy, but interfered at the request of the Vice-
Consul. I mentioned that circumstance to Mr. Askew.

The inventory was read. It included various articles of
wearing apparel, and the articles charged to have been stolen.

Tlieletier found in the drawer was then read.

Mr. Griffiths, the Magistrate, said he recollected Miss
Perrot coming to complain of Mr. Askew, and made a state-
ment, amounting, in his apprehension to a charge of fe-
lony. In the first place, there was a summons, on which he
attended. There was a great deal of discussion respecting a
letter, which to my apprehension had been proved 10 have been
in the hands of Askew. On the second examination, bail was
proposed by Mr. Askew's Counsel, Mr. Adolphus. On that
occasion, 1 said, that the evidence was made so strong, I must
commit unless the possession of the letter was explained; this
circumstance was much pressed, both by the Counsel and
myself; I thought it a very important circumstance in the case.
Cross-examined—l am not sure that, at the two first-exami-
nations, Askew was placed at the bar ; I rather thinkit was
not. The altercation between Counsel was very loud ; I think
nothing was lost.
The letter of Mr. Askew of July 23, addressed to Miss Per-
rot, as Miss Normanville, at Cheltenham, about a watch, was
read. It has been already published.
Mr. JEssoP replied.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE stated that the main question
of fact for the Jury to decide on this most grave and serious
charge, was whether the notes and valuable property which
Askew was charged with stealing were left by Perrot in the
drawer in Askew's house. If they were left there, even if
Askew did not purloin them, there was reasonable ground for
the charge; if they never were there, the Jury would consider
whether it was possible to reconcile the prosecution for felony
to any but bad and wicked motives. In determining this ques-
tion, he advised the Jury not to look to the evidence of Askew,
which might fairly be considered as opposed by the oath of
Perrot on the former trial, but to such extraneous circumstances
as might lead to a just conclusion.
The Jury retired, but returned in a few minutes, finding the
defendants Guilly.--The trial lastetttill nearly half-past seven.

The Gazette of Trieste of the 12th November has what fol-

22 days. The Captain reports that the Turco-Egyptian fleet
was 100 sail strong, and comprised 45 transports, American,

on the 15th of October, five days before his depar-

and two steam boats accompanied it. The same Captain found
them off Candia, and was in company with them until the 3d of
November, when he quitted them off Navarino. Up to this
time the fleet had not fell in with the Greek squadron.

Letters from Alexandria assure us, that on the 17th of Octo-
