Qt./EMI-Nat/ARE POLICE iinarews
yesterday nricl-en,ireht a fourth examination. The
first witness called was Mrs. Harris, the wife of the
merchant who had lOst his plate, and the daughter
of Harris, from whose house it was said to have
• been stolen. This Lady corroborated what had been
. advanced by Mr. Young,
_who redeemed the plate.
:.She, after,the plate was lost, had missed her father
from the houSe, where she used frequently to
.call ;
and, •althOugh he was in the King's Bench, that tact
she could not ascertain at hiss house. Her father was
L. in arboderate way of business before Mr: AndreWs
came to lodge at his house ; and 'she believed, and
Understood from him, that ,he was relieVed from
"einbarrasslnents which he had laboured under.—
Executions were after Wards 'continually in the
house.
Mr. Parker,', Pawnbroker, in Fleet-Street,. was
'
• next called, with his book to prove the Pawning of
the plate. : He knew the Prisoner, but it was. not
pledged byliim. Two ladies came to the door in a
carriage, (a.custom very, frequent) and one of ben)
pledged 'the property in the name of Harris.. This
Witness had been informed that the fatherhad rob-
bed the son. of the plate, or that the son had robbed
the father. He had also been ,summoned before a
Magistrate for giving up the plate, but his. accuser
did:nOt attend. • •
ri
Mr. Brown, who resides .in the neighbourhood
of Bedford-square, stated, that he lived on an
indeppdent property, and first became acquainted
with the Prisoner in the King's Bench Prison a
few months since. He, Mr. Brown, was dis-
charged by 'the Insolvent mt, as well as the Pri-
soner, and about the same time; they had become
the most intimate friends; and Mr. Andrevis, after
• his releasement, lived in Great Russell-street; Blooms-
bury, where he kept his chariot and a livery ser-
vant, which was afterwards replaced by a tarnily
coach and two livery servants. Mr. Andrews had
given this witness to understand that he was on the-
eve of coming to an unlimited fortune, as the heir
to Bishop Andrews ; and Mr. Brown and his Lady
used frequently to dine with the Prisoner, as 'did he
and his Lady with them. At Mr. Andrews's dinner
party, Col. Davison, Maltby, M'Cullurn, and others,
used to be-present ; . but these persons were never
invited to Mr-Brown's table. In a conversation.
'between a Mrs. Roberts, who • used to dine at the
Prisoner's table, that Lady, in the presence of Mrs.
Brown, felt herself surprised at seeing. Mrs. An--
chews pay some tradesmens' bills, and pUblicly de-,
precated so mistaken an idea. This witness had sub-
scribed four hundred poundS to Mr. Andrew's's Sys-.
tern or finance, besides having done hirn 'sore
favours while he was in the King's Bencli 'Prison.
He'had also some bills of Col. Davison's acceptanCe,
which were not yet due. Mr. Brown had also re:
ceived a letter fiord the Prisoner, addressed to the
Earl of Besborough, which was to procure him
(Mr. B.) a place of three or four hundred pounds a
year under Government, Which he delivered to the
Earl. 'Mr. Brown had received this mark of kindness
from the Prisoner atter he had lent him '4001: and

_ - -
he needed no promise for that advance, for Mr. An-
drews, by his candid open conduCl, had completely
get the better of his purse, which he felt-no hesita-
tion in opening to him. 'Witness had received
many packages trom Mr. Andrews's house, he hay-
ing Stated that an_ execution was expeded in the
house where he lodged: Amongst these rods were
some hampers of china, the property of Mr. Asser,
who, the Magistrate observed', had given a descrip-
tion of the Prisoner's art in obtaining goods, which
exceeded any thing ever heard of. Mr. Andrews's
little boy was,,playing in Mr. Asser's shop one day,
when he was cautioned not to break a tancy article,
which was for one of the Royal Family, and the Pri
sorer observed, if he broke any valuable article, his,
pocket was capable of replacing it. Mr. Butler had
visited the Prisoner when he was an absentee, but the

forma was led to suppose he was only 'out of the way:
to save being arrested: The-Prisoner here expressed
a desire that Mr. Asser's property should be re-
turned.

A poor mans of the name of Newcombe, at whose
honse the Prisoner lodged, lost 251. by him, by pay-
ing chandlers' shop, and other little tradespeople's
scores, gave a very singular description of the Pri-
soner's conduat. He atted the part of an embar-
rassed Gcntlenian, and one day read a printed speech,
which he said he had made from the hustings at 'pi-.
wich, when he was a Candidate for the representa.,
tion of that Borough in Parliament. Some other
curious evidence was brought forward.

Mr. AndreWs complained of the unfair condua
towards him during the inquiry, and again . denied
ever having ,had an intention Of injuring, any.one.
.A Committee, he said, sat daily ,at .Fishmongers'
to carryon. this foul conspiracy against him ;
and however his feelings might be tortured by being
made a ridicule in that Office, a Jury would con-
vince the world of his innocence.

The Prisoner was again retnandedfor another ex-
aminatiop.

.4.lqt/L .O.—A Most awful event .toOk
place on Thursday last in the Collegiate Church of
&Anhwei': A young man, of the name of Cook
had been for some time attached to a young woman
of the same place ; but peculiar circumstances, joined
to his ill .state of health, had retarded their union.
Cook 'was in the last stage of a coOtimption; had.
been confined within doors fig-e weeks, and to his
bed several 'days :.'his speedy dissolution appeared
certain nevertheless, on, Wednesday evening be
.determined on being united to the object of his
-affedions on-the ensuing morning. Accordingly,
about 'nine o'clock; he ,was with difficulty dressed;
and (the house standing on the verge of the Chu'rch7
yard), assisted by the arm of his infended brother-
in-laW, performed his walk to the sacred edifice with
a firmness which astonished the numerous spedators
who were assembled at so unusual a scene. Through-
out the *hole of the ceremony his effort still sup-
ported him : the. Minister closed the book : ex-
hausted nature could do no more—the bridegroom
sank lifeless at the Attar ! He. was immediately con-
'veyed home, and every 'restorative medical aid could,
suggest was inefretituall)&, administeted the vital
spat k wa.. totally extingui4hed. •

The Son of a very respeetahle merchant in the Ci-

Cases of violence exercised by, a husband aowards•
his wife was rather' of singtilar nature; such
was the case he had to lay befereathem, noreoeld
he recollect one of much more atiaicious barbarity
than the tiresent., The Prosecutrix was a young
woman,- unfiirtanately wife to. the. Defendant,'
was himself the son of an Attorney in the City of
Dublin.: The.Prosecutrix was- the daughter of. re-
Speftable _and reputable parents in the 'County of
Nerfolk, and had received the education of a Gen-
tle\voman, at a London Boarding-School.—Youns;
innocent, 'and unsuspicious, she becathe unhappily
acquainted with yoring Gentleman of the Irish
Bar, by whom sshe was seduced; and taken over
to„the City of:Dublin-; where, under his prate;.-oon;‘
she enjoyed that.. comfort and affluence which, ru-
der, such circumstances, she, could have, until the
Defendant:found r'neans to become acquainted with
her. He proposed marriage ; and she, preterring
poverty with .a virtuous husband, to affloence in.,
vice, about twelve. months ' ago became, tile wife
of the Defendant ; ; but not. before he was
made acquainted with her situation ; ie an-
swer to which he pleaded_ his ardent elite:Aida
for her, and his anxious wish to make her , his
wife. At that. time •she had a house handsomely
furnished, and was; possessed of snail weai iug 'ae-
parel and personal ornaments as taste and luxury
might deem necessary ; but Three Weeks (per Mar-
riage had scarcely passed, when the husband asstim-
ed the chara&er of -the brutal tyrant, and his real, .
object (the .possession of her little _property), be-
came evident:' He first disposed of her house and'
furniture; then of her clothes and. valuehles, and, •
lastly, he beat her violently, and tutned.her out
of doors, naked and defenceless. She once mare
returned •to England, and sought prateCtion and
peace in the bosom of her parents : but She was lot
permitted long to reniairiain tranquillity ; the De-
fendant followed her, traced her to her .parents, at
Lynn,' in Norfolk, .and persuaded her to acco.ooany
him to London, 'where they .rniied in .theadissipa- -
lions anctpleaseres of the gay world, and here again
the husband's depravity was 'exercised; he broke
open her drawers, pawned all her clothes end little
trinkets, then liorse-whipped --her hatred person ;
andain that situation turned. her into the street.—
This was not onlyrepeated, but When all her property
was gone, and she had nothing left to support his
extravagance, this athletic active young man,' who
was capableof earning his own bread, atiealta fesral
her to prostitute her person, in order to sueply the-
means of his diasipation.. More than once she for- '
gaiie• thoSe aC.ta of violence, ,upon condition .that he
would return to his own country, anclanolest her no.
more; but, • in the month of, Mardi last, be again
beat her most unmercifully, so that her lite. was
nearly despaired of; and, in order to ['toted ht.
persine from further violence, she was under the ab-
solute necessity of instituting this prost.:CistiCtn: ,
This statement, with Many more fasts, were fella,
corroborated by the evidence. It appeared, upoe
the evidence of the person with whom _t hey lodged,
that at one time the Defendant was beating the Pro-.
secutrix with such violence that herecreams reach-
ed their landlady, who interfered ; and when the
Defendant retired, she discovered that the unhappy:
wife, and her infant child, bid passed the day with-
out a Mot-sal to eat; and while the humane landlady
was giving some dinner, in her own apartment, to
her and herchild, the husband returned, broke'open
her drawers, took away all her clothes, and pawned
them. The duplicate he afterwards sold to a woman
of the town, for a guinea, and then went and stop-
ped the goods in the hands of the pawnbroker.—
Upon another occasion he was known to declare,
that he had no objeetion to his wife's ptostiiuting
herself with old men, but not with young ones, as a
Mutual attachment might be the result in such cases.
' Here the Defendant interfered, and said, that was
only a joke over a bottle of Champagne.
The Defendant, in person, cross-examined the .
Witnesses, and only seemed to involve himself the •
deeper, by every question he proposed.
his defence he said, he was here a total
stranger, not knowing a human being in Louden ;
he had been inveigled by the • Proseeutrix into a
marriage, and was not yet of age. She 'afterwards
persuaded. him- to go to England; and kneeled to
him on the beach, entreating him to .go-avith her.
He admitted he had assaulted het and did not •
deny that he' suffered .her to prostitute her person
for his support ; abut,, as 'a •leading*feature
fence,. he said, he was not. legally 'married, for he
had procured a degraded clergymatneotheiOnly called
in dial country, a couple beggar,- who pet formed the
ceremony, for half a guinea. His father, lie said,
-had since instituted a.suit in the ECCiesiastical Court,
and his wife had been cited to, appearoin order to his
obtaining a divorce.
2The•Jury found him Guilty, , and the Court de-
ferred the Sentence for another-opportunity. In the
mean time' the Learned
.chairman observed, that
the person of the . ferirale must be proteeted froth
ftiether molestation or violebee; and direeted the
Defendant, by the time he should next-come up; to
be prepared with Sureties to keep the peace, himself
in 2001eand two sureties in soul, each.

Thomas Mitchell was capitally indi'cled for pri-
vately stealing, in a dwelling-house, 'one silver salt-
cellar, 'value five shillings, the property of George
Blackway. It appeared, that in the month of March
last the Prisoner went to the house of M. Black-
way, the Prosecutor, who keeps a glass-shop in the
Strand, and-. proposed
.to purchase a quantity of
glass jugs, &c.
.ofconSiderable value, for which hi'
offered to pay in halfpence, and said he should send.
his wife >or them. It after. leaving the
shop- the_salt-cellar in-question was missed, and the
Prisoner pursued, and nothing was found upon hum;
however, tipon searching the place where he was
stopped, the salt-cellar, was discovered thrown into
an adjoining area. -The Jury found him Guilty—
Death.

Thomas Mitchell
_Was indicted tor stealing in the
dwelling-house of 'William Beale, a hotel keeper,
iu .lernivn-streeti_one silver fork.
it appeared, in evidence, that the Prisoner was
caught in the fait of pitting the fork in his pocket,
in the Coffee-room.

Iu his.defence the Prisoner said, that, upon going
into the Coffee;:roOrit, and-finding nobody in attend-
ance, he took up the fork, to strike against the
table, in order tOrnake himself heard, and at that

The Learned Judge (Lord ELLENBOROUGH), was
proceeding to Charge the Jury, when,. uppn looking
at
.the indictment, he discovered the Prosecutor's
name spelled. Bell, instead of Beale, which being a
fatal misnomer in the indi&ment,. the Jury: were
obliged to acquit the Prisoner. .

should be preferred.

and. March last. A Mr. Bowler stated, !bathe was

At Somerset Assizes, held at Taunton, laSt week,.
there were thirty causes tried,' at .Nisi Prius, eight
of which were by Special Juries ; but the .one
which created most interest in Bath was an aaion
for defamation, in which Mr. Richard -Else, of
Bath, Conveyancer, was Plaintiff; and _ James
Ormond, Esq. of Sion Hill, Defendant; "which was
tried before Sir M 41N NEES SUTTON, and a., Special.
Jury. The defaMatory words were clearly. proved';
the Defendant did not .call a witness. The Court
observed,- that great malice appeared on- ihe part
of the Defendant; that the Plaintiff, from hiq
public situation in life, was compelled to bring
the &akin ; and, although he had'not.shewn that he
had sustained ahy damage_ yet, as the character of
every proiessiboal man was of the outmost Conse-
ipence, he was entitled to damages, inasmuch as it
was impossible to ascertain the extent of the damaae.
he might have sustained, by the propagation of trie
Defendant's untruths, not one of which he attempt_
ed to justify. The Jury gave a verdi& of job!. da-
mages.
