HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, JULY 2‘).

Nothing of any public interest transpired in this Court to-
day. One or two salvage cases, of an ordinary description,
were heard, but the facts were unimportant.
Lord STOWELL notified, that, having consulted with the
Registrar, he had determined to allow Capt. Purvis,_ of his Ma-
jesty'S ship Magicienne, the seizer of the ship Woodbridge,
1301., in 'tontine " eapensarunt."

Mr. A LCOCK, proprietor of the estate of Wil-
ton, in the county of Wexford, three years ago, ,tbrgave his
tenants to the amount of 16,0001. of arrears of rent ; and about
a month ago he called his tenants together, forgave them again
about 13,000/., reduced their rents to half, and gave them new
leases ; his lands, formerly set for from 15s. to 40s. are how set
and also twenty-tive yesterday at
from 7s. to 20s. per acre.
One hundred and thirty-one tubs of Geneva were seized at
Atherfield on Tuesday last ;

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. WM. WALTER AND Mr. BARRY O'MEARA.

MARYLEBONE OFFlCE.—Yesterday Mr. Barry O'Meara,
the Gentleman who has lately published a Work, entitled " A
Voice from St. Helena, or Napoleon in Exile," accompanied
by Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS, the Barrister, appeared before
JOHN RAWLINSON, Esq. the Sitting Magistrate, in conse-
quence of a warrant issued against him on the complaint of Mr.
William Walter for an assault. It appeared that the charge
was preferred against Mr. O'Meara by Mr. Walter, for a per-
sonal chastisement inflicted on him on the 22d instant, through
mistake, Mr. O'Meara having supposed him to be Mr. John
Walter of The Times Journal, in which animadversions on his
work, personally offensive to him, had appeared. Before the
case was entered into, all the parties being in attendance,
Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Magistrate, and said no person
could lament the circumstance which had given occasion to the
complaint more than Mr. O'Meara. It had occurred by mis-
take, he having unfortunately mistaken Mr. William Walter
for another Gentleman. Every wish on the discovery of his
error had been immediately manifested to make an apology ;
and, as the Gentleman offended had expressed a wish to adjust
this unfortunate affair, a meeting of himself, Mr. William
Walter, and another Gentleman, had been held on the pre-
ceding evening, with a view to an arrangement.—On that oc-
casion, a disposition to adjust the matter was manifested, and
fur the offence which his client had committed, he was most
ready to make a public apology, never having intended any
thing calculated to give pain to Mr. W. Walter. That Gen-
tleman, he understood, had partially consented, and another
meeting was to be held to draw up such an apology as would
be deemed satisfactory to his feelings, in consequence of which,
under all the circumstances of the case, he had consented to
forego further vroceedings on the warrant.
Mr. 'Wm. AI alter said something to the Magistrate in a low
tone of voice. We understood he said, his only object was an
apology in the newspapers.
The Magistrate (Mr. RAWLINSON). observed, he did not
wish to press the proceedings, as Mr. W. Walter had thus
handsomely consented to forego them, but he thought proper
at the same time to state, that although the judicial investiga-
tion would be abandoned, yet, for the preservation of the pub-
lic peace, he should find it his duty not to allow Mr. O'Meara
to Ko at large without his holding him to bail, as he might yet
fulfil his intention with respect to Mr. John Walter ; and as it
became therefore necessary to guard against a repetition of the
offence, it was highly requisite that he should enter into his own
recognizance.
Mr. Pumx.irs then observed that his client had now no in-
tention of molesting that Gentleman, and wished it to be un-
derstood that he was extremely sorry for the assault committed
on the person of Mr. William Falter.
Mr. RAwLINSON here observed the warrant could not yet
be disposed of, as the case was not finally settled between the
parties, and in the interim Mr. O'Meara might enter into his
own recognizance to keep the peace.
Mr. PHILLIPS said his client was present and had no ob-
jection.
Mr. O'Meara then stepped forward, and entered into his own
recognizance in the sum of 5001. to keep the peace towards Mr:
John Walter.—The parties then left the office.
