HONOURED SIR,
jr BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
A year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal,
which, limn its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribed by the most em►nent of the faculty here, and un-
dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
skrgetf from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
eof the most inveterate nature. In tie•spring of last year
my aisorder- bad got to such ahead, as nearly to put a period
to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
one on each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful
manner ;.my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration_ for the laSt seven years ; my left had also
two large nodes On it, was very much discoloured, and. gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest ; iu this lamentable state, I
was recommended by Mr. .1. Thompsoo, (who received so
great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills,
which I began to do on the 26th o. May ; in the course of a
fortnight 1 began to receive benefit—in little more than a
month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundlyhealed—
soon atter, the sores tie► soy legs healed also ; leaving, how-
ever,. considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, and a little
longer let severance iu your ;nvalita.ble Medicine, subsided ;
the nodei dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going off.—l thus became, by
liberal Advice and medicine, perfectly free front all my
,ruler complaints—have rccovered my former spirits and
strength, and am become jot!), and fat, in which state having
continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew
!s.e, I am at a loss in winkt ternts to express my gratitude, put
beg you, -for the good of other suffering mortals, to make
this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa-
sion ; to so doing you will greatly oblige,
Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humbleservant,

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

CHESTER, TUESDAY, AUc. 29.
William Newton, aged 40, was put to the bar, charged with
having, on the night of Thursday, the 14th of April last, felo-
niously and burglariously broken open the dwelling-house of
William Salmon, and stolen therefrom nine bushels of malt,
his property.

The prisoner is one of the :Most ferocious-looking ruffians
we ever saw at the bar of a Court of justice. His dark and
matted hair covered a brow which protruded in a most extra-
ordinary mannerover his eyes, which were sunk deep into- his
head: His cheeks were long and haggard, and hi.. mouth of
very enormous dimentsions• Ile had a large black beard, and
was altogether one of the filthiest objects that ever " graced a
gallows, or adorned 'a string."
ie ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the facts on which this
prosecution was founded, and in doing so, told the Jury that
they might'-lay out of their consideration the burglasious entry
into the premises, as he had himself examined them:, arid found
that the malt-liouse. in which the stealing nad.beat couphitted,
Was so disconnected with-the dwelling-house of the pmsecutor,
that the charge of burglary could not be sustained. The only
question, therefore,. which they would have to decide would be,
whether the prisoner at the bar had been guilty of stealing from
the prettifies the property mentioned in the indictment. In or-
der to enable them to decide that question, he called before them
the following witnesses :
James Gator—l live in Wymonbury, in this cottnty. I
know Mr. W. Salmon's malthouse; it adjoins my house. I
am a tenant to Mr. W. Salmon for the house, but not for the
malthpuse. On the 31st of January last, I was set along with
George Baskerville to watch that malthouse. I was also on
the watch with him and John Thurston on the 14th April.
The watch was set in my bed-room, in the wall of which a
hole was made to enable us to see into the malthouse. About
one o'clock in the morning of the 15th of April we observed
two men with a light in the malthouse. 'By that light I was
enabled to .see the priminer's person,
_and I have no doubt that
be was,one,of the men then in the malthouse. The two men
went to the ruck of malt, and put up some of it with a half
measure into a bag. We three then left the bed-room, and
went to the outer door of the malthouse. We found it closed,
but a picklock was in it. I placed myself a little below the
doer. Baskerville and Thurston stood before it, and about
three yards from it. I looked at the door to see if it opened ;
it did not. I then cast my eye along the wall, and observed a
flash of powder. At the same time I heard the clash of a
trigger. The flash was such as must have come from some
sort of fire arms. I then saw two men spring up, one on each
side of the malthouse steps. I was near .enough to recognize
the persons of one' 'of those. men. It was the prisoner. We
then ordered the men to stand. They did not obey the order,
but -tan away. I fired with a gun at one of the men, hut not
at the prisoner. I then went to the spot where these men had
started up, and found alarge bludgeon. I also found three
bags of malt, about half filled, on the steps.

.Cross-examined by Mr. D. F. JON saw the prisoner
by the light which came from the lantern. It was not a corn.
mop lantern, , but as I think a dark lantern. 1 did.not mark
the prisoner's clothes, but I saw his features. I do not know
the colour of his clothes. but I think they were dark. The
stars that night gave a glimmering lig►ht.. I had seen the man
before, on a moonlight night in January, skullking about the
malthOuse.

George Baskerville corroborated the testimony of the last
witness as to the story which he told regarding the men in the
malthouse. He could not, however, identify the prisoner as
One of them. There were four men apprehended.on this charge.
There were the traces of more
~than two men about the malt•
house.

John Thurston, who watched with the two last witnesses,
identified the prisoner as one of the parties who ran away from
the inalthouse.

The prisoner protested his innocence.
The CHIERJUSTICE summed up the evidence, and the
jury immediately returned a verdict of not guilty of burglary,
but guilty of grand larceny.
The CHIEF JuST tcr, in passing sentence on the prisoner,
told him, that if he had been indicted for pulling a trigger with
intention to shoot somebody, be must have been convicted, and
if he had been convicted, he would inevitably have been left for
execution.% He had, however, been indicted for a different of-
fence, and had only been found guilty of grand larceny. .His
Lordship told him, that the greatest punishment which now
could be inflicted upon him, was transportation beyond the
seas for the space of seven yeat•s ; and to that punish-
ment he should now undoubtedly sentence him,—Sentenced
accordingly.
The prisoner solemnly asserted that he had no fare-arms with
him on the night in question.
German Bradsley, aged 33, was ptit to the bar, charged with
having on the 27th of July, uttered certain base and counter-
feit corn, at Knutsford, and with having other base and coun-
terfeit coin in his possession.
The circumstances of this case lay in a very narrow compass.
The prisoner kept a stall for gingerbread at the last Knuts-
ford races. The prosecutor, who is connected with the police,
went to his stall and procured change for half a sovezeig,n.
The money was tried, aful in consequence of one of the half-
crowns being found to be base and counterfeit, the prisoner
was apprehended. His person was searched, and there were
discovered upon him seven half-crowns, neatly folded in
paper so as to prevent the surface and edges of each of
them from rubbing against the surface and edges of the
others: Some shillings were also found wrapt up with the same
care. The half-crowns were cut by an assayer in Court, and
all turned out to be made of copper. The prisoner at the t►me
of his apprehension had upwards of 871. in cash and good notes
in his possession.
Mr. D. F. JONES, for the contended that the guilty
knowledge was not at all proved by the evidence which had
been submitted to the Jury.
Niritnesses were called, who gave the prisoner an excellent
character.

The Jury, however, were of a different opinion, and found
the prisoner Guilty.
• • The CHIEF JUSTICE, in passing sentence upon him, told
him that the punishment inflicted by the law was too lenient for
the misdemeanor of which he then stood convicted. Offences
of this nature were becoming much too common ; and he should
therefore inflict upon him the severest punishment which the
law permitted. Ile then sentenced the prisoner to six months'
imprisonment in Chester Castle.
TEM.i.F., who was with the Attorney-General for the
prosecution, suggested to his Lordship, after he had passed the
sentence, that, by a recent act, his Lordship had the power
of ordering the prisoner to be kept to hard labour during that
time.

The CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion that the present case
did not require a punishment of that kind to be inflicted on the
prisoner.
The prisoner complained that certain .property which was
found on his .person when he was apprehended had not been
restored to him. lie begged his Lordship to make an order
that the prosecutor should return him the various notes which
he had then taken from him.
The prosecutor said that he had . counted over all the notes
which he found upon the prisoner in the presence of the Magi-
strates--that he had since given the amount of them to the pti-
soner, and that he then held in his hand the prisoner's written
receipt for them.
At twelve o'clock this day his Majesty's Justices got through
the calendar. They then proceeded to try civil causes, of which
there are fourteen entered. The first tried was a special jury
case—" 3lanifold v. l'innington." It occupied the Court the
remainder of the day, but- was of no public interest, merely re-
lating to the boundaries of two different commons in this
county.

of yesterday, Atkins's collection of quadrupeds

the bustle and confusion becant, nearly.as great

noise occasioned by the growling of the animlls,

POLICE-INTELLIGENCE.

THE PUBLIC 7:::ESS,

MstcstoN-llousE.—Yesterday Mr. nobler,. jun., the soli-
citor for the prosecution in the case of Mr. Palin, the straw hat
manufacturer, who stands charged with having stolen the four
1,0001. notes froth the Auction Mart, came before the Lend
Mayor to answer an attack made upon hint in a Morning Paper,
which accused him of having departed from his profes:+ional
duty in the conduct Of that case. .

Mr. Nobler handed the Lord Mayor the Paper, which ac-.
cased his Lordship of having aided him in an endeavour to in
duce the prisoner to convict-htmself. Arguing upon the question
asked by his Itordship, Whether the prisoner could account sa-
tisfactorily for having in his possession one of the stolen rote?
—it represented this as an inquisitorial questioning of the - pri-
soner, and said, had he been a mere murderer or so, he would
be kindly warned to take care that he did not say any thing
which would convict himself. It is insinuated, moreover, that
Magistrates, who were men of business, had an exceedingly
strong interest in suppressing offences, which were peculiarly in-
jurious to trade, and that on such occasions they could act with
all the promptitude and vigour of a Turkish- Ear that
which more particularly applied to .himself, Mr. Hobler de-
clared he felt himself least conCerned, though he was well as-
sured, and wished to declare publicly, that nothing had been
done in the case, of which the prisoner, his friends, or advisers,
could jultly complain.
The Loan MAYOR said he never saw an instance which
more strongly showed the necessity of a Magistrate's taking
care of what words he used in the performance of his duty.
Some Gentlemen who were connected with the Public Press
seemed anxious to grasp at an accidental expreSsion, if it could
be tortured into a meaning different from the intention, and al-
lowed the whole spirit of the Magistrate's acknowledged object
of doing justice in the most merciful mahner to be rendered
liable to suspicion or condemned as arbitrary. He did not mean
this as an observation which had a general application. He
knew that the most respectable and less needy part of the Public
Press would not adopt such a practice of attributing bad mo-
tives on account of a hasty or thoughtless expression, and he
believed that a difference in political opinions would not tempt
them to the dishonesty of misrepresentation, whatever might be
the lack'of news, or of those miraculous circumstances which
were so ingeniously accumulated for the purpose of supplying
the want of bona/Ide news.
Mr. Hobler said, perhaps at this period of the year an editor
thought he might be excused for picking holes in the skirts of
Magistrates to entertain that class of persons who loved to see
persons of respectability pulled down to their own level. His
Lordship was also censured for hearing the statement of Palin,
which had been voluntarily made in the private room,
_and
which necessarilfstood as part of the proceedings repeated in
public. This was altogether absurd, and the person who wrote
it could not have awaked out of his dreams of heavy German
metaphysics which frequently made a man unable to see his
way clearly in ordinary life.—(Laughter.)
• The Lotto MAYOR said he had allowed a private eXamina-
4ion in Min's case at the request of that person's friends, and
he did so in the hope that the circumstances might be cleated
up without a public exposure. It was this hope that led him
to ask the.question objected to, for if a satisfactory explanation
had been made, there would have been no committal, and no
exposure. If the question was one to which a rational objection
could be taken, Mr. Harmer, who attended for the prisoner,
would it was well known have interfered, but Palin proceeded
without interruption to give his 'explanation, though perfectly
aware of the purpose for which the Chief Clerk took it down.
His Lordship mentioned to Mr. Adolphus, who at this mo-
ment entered the room, the nature of the charge made
against him.
111 r. ADOLPHUS said he could not for the life of him under.
stand what people were at. He had received fifty letters since
the examination or Mr. Palin, charging him with having acted
like a fool, and having made no effort for his client.—( A laugh.)
The Loan MAYOR observed that some persons would con-
sider the notice he task of the circumstances inconsistent with
the dignity of his office, but he thought a man, whatever
might be his station, could not be more honourably employed
than in the vindication of his character.
