PALACE COURT, NNE 6.
HODGES 2i.../sl4 CB,

The parties in this cae were domestics in the fa-
mily of Mr. ThomaS Hope, of Manstield=street.—
The Defendant held the situation ol'hotse-keeper,
and the Plaintiff that of still-room-Maid, which was,
explained to be afemale whose business it was to
attend the lady's maid and housekeeper. UnfOrtu-
nately for the peace of-Mr. Hope's house, his,valet,
Mr. Stubbs,. was, considered by the,temale" part of
the estabhshMent as a good looking fellow, and this
union of sentiment produced not a little personal
discord. A dispute haVing arisen between the paiC
ties in this aiiiion respeaing some ices prepared for
their master's table, Mrs. Mace trier, than insinit.
aced that Miss Hodges had been loclied in a mem-
with the valet. Mr: Stnhbs and thefair
,one in vain
asserted their innocence; Mrs. Mace peristed, and,
in the sequel, struck the Plaintiff in the t'ace ; which
was the objed of the action.--The Jury found 'a
verdi& for 51. damages.

There had long been in the ' city of Genoa atr
hexagonal vase, known by the name of stieni ca-.
tino ; " the -;acred plate," which was supposed:AO
be an emerald, and, in consequence, of artinestirri,‘
able value. ,On plundering Italy, during' the ' last
Revolution, it Was sent to Paris, and> deposited' on
the 20th of NOvember-last, by the Ealperor's Orders,
in the Cabinet of Antiquities, in the Imperial' Li-
brary. This vase was considered as a precious relict,;
and Father Gaetano, a jeal-ned -Augustin Monk,
published in 1727, at Genba, a dissertation, in which
he inserted all the authorities that tended to prove
that this was the very vase in which the paschal
lamb had been. offered •to Christ and his Apostles,
on the evening of his passion., He accounted for its
-falling into the hands of the Genoese in the follow-
ing manner:—These people distinguishedthemsolves.
in the first crusade,
.and particularly at' the taking
of Csarea,
in 1101; An immense booty was- found
in this place,- which was divided into three parts,-
one of which consisted of • nothina but . the sacro
catino. All the crtisaders agreed lat,the Genoese
should be recompensed for their intrepidity, in firat-
entering the town, by having the first choice; and
they chose the sacro eatino. They kept it with the
most sacred care, in awarnibury made in the wall
of the cathedral, at Genoa, and the keys or which
were deposited_ with the most distinguished person-.
ages of the Republit. - No person was-peratifted' to
touch it ; and it- was slieWn to the faithMl only-once
a year, at a great festival. Thus it v..ts not yos-
sible to examine whether the vase was an emerald
or not ; and this examination has just taken place
by a commission of philosophers from the Institute,
consisting of Messrs. Guyon, Vanquelin,-and Hatay.
They have declared that-the Sacra catino is nothing
more than a lump of coloured-glass; but they think
it worthy of preservation on account of its having
been such art °hied of piety, and because it is a
curious specimen of the art of glass making in the
-Lower Empire at such an early period. It is sup--
posed to have been made at the time when Constan-
tine established the -seat of his Einphe at Byzantium.
VACCINATION.Dr. BalnliS, Wilo was SOW by,,the
Spanish Government on a voyage round the world,
for the sole purpose of conveying the gift of Vaccine
inoculation to foreign_ possessions of his Spanish
Majesty, has presented an account of his mission.
The Expedition sailed from Corunna in November,
1803, and one division proceeded to South Ameri-
ca, while the other, under Balmis, went to the Ha-
-vannah, and, thence to Yucatan. A sub-division
there took place, and Professor Paster proceeded to
Villa Harmosa, in the Province of Tabasca, and
thence through the distri& of Ciudud Real to Goa-
teMala, a circuit of 400 leagues, while the rest of
• the Expedition, which arrived at Vera Cruz, tra-
versed the Vii:e-royalty Of New Spain, and the hi-
terior -Provinces. The Expedition proceeded trout'
thence to the Philippines, and. Balmis carried with
him from New. Spain to Asia 20 children, - destined
to be vaccinated in succession, and committed to
the care of the Foundling Hnspital at Corunna. In
short, 'this l';%pedition has conveyed the- vaccine dis-
ease through the whole ArehipelagO,of the Vassal to
,Islanck, Bahni:3 reached Malao and Canton, and
,accomplished the inirodiadiOn of the virus in all its
power, which is' of the more importance, as the
matter conveyed out bll - thQ British East ladiainen
has alwlyg proved inert on its arrival.

The fist witness sworn was Mr. Joseph Payne,

stated, that on Thursday night, the 4th of 'June, he
was walking in Piccadilly, in company With another
Gentleman ; they were off the foot-path; and going
towards Covent ry-street ; he perceived beyond Bond-
Street, at nearly ten yards from him, a Gentleman's
chariot, draWia by two horses, coming towards him,
the Off-horse appeared to him - rather restive, and
the coachman was driving fast, but not faster than
he generally noticed carriages to go along the streets;
the coachman had a white coat on, and he believed
there was another person sitting on the box.with the
coachman, and witness' believed they wore hats-;
they were turtling out of Piccadilly into Bond-street;
the restiveness of the horse still aurae-led witness's
attention; so as to turn back, and in an instant the
coach turnedto the right towards Bond-street ; there
was a not hercoach standingat the east:corner of Bond-
streetl and'a second coach coming down that street,
towards Piccadilly; the Gentleman's carriage enter-
ed Bond-street,- towards the left ;side, and he per-
ceiVed,the carriage nearly turn over ;
,at that instant
• witness observed the deceased in. the. street, close to
the wheel (XL the carriage, but could not Say whether
he was:flat on the ground or rising, but perceived
the gentleman move violently,, as if occasioned- by
the force of the wheel. The. carriage rent-off as
fast as possible., tit) Bond-street: Witness crossed
over,- and • perceived the Gentleman;. supported by
two persons, and heard, some perSon:asli him where
he lived ? when he faintly articulated, " Piccadilly."
They proceeded to take him to the nearest surgeon ;
there being no coaches on the stand, the uniortu-
nate Gentlemanr-with
.the assistance of those that
held him, walked as far as 11:irlington House, which
is near twelve yards, when he-sunk to the ground;
they then carried him to Mr. Grane'S, confeaioner
and fruiterer, on the opposite side, in Piceadilly, be-
ing the nearest shop that was open.' - Medical as-
sistance was sent tor, and arrived a' quarter of an
hotii,after the Gentleman had been taketi into the
shop_; he was blooded in the. arm, but 'very little
blood issued. He was taken up stairs,' and un-
dressed ; he fetched a groan On .going up stairs.—
Witness was informed by some' person present, that-
three of tik.' left .ribs' were fra6tured. \V- fitness left
the house at near eleven o'clock; the Gentleman
was then dead.
_•

Witness was questioned by a Gentleman of the
Jury, as to his` opinion :in regard to the condud of
the coachman. He said, he thought him highly
blameable tor driving so 'fast on sucli a night, when
the.streets were so crowded. Witness could not
recoiled' the colour of the cariage; nor of the
horses, the accident being so momentary.
Mr. John Turner, ot. No: 30, Red Lion-street,
Holborn; the Gentleman who was in company with
the first- witness, being sworn, corroborated the
former evidence, and only differed frdm his friend's
opinion wit,t.resped to the rate the Coachman was
driving at; the horses were nearly on a gallop, and
of a dark colour, bUt he did not notice the colour of
the carriage.
John King, of No. 5, George-court, Pic-
cadilly,: baker, being sworn,; stated.; that last Thurs-
day ,night, the 4th of June, about ten o'clock, he
Was standing in Piccadilly, at
.the east corner of
Bond-street, and -Was noticing the great numbers
.of people, and ,the general bustle of' the evening;
there was' a. coach 'standing- at the east corner of
Bond-street; he perceived, a gentleman's carriage,
.drawn by two horses, and nearly lOU yards from
him, coining from towards Coventry-street ; it was
a yellow-bodied
_chariot, with three- lights in the
, front.; the horses were dark, bur _he could not say'
whether dark-brown or black.. The coachman had
:on a white coat; 'and there was no person on the
box with him. Witness believed there was some
, person or persons in. the carriage; there were, no.
I, coaches on the stand in Piccadilly, and the coach-
man was not on his right side. Tire
.hOt'ses did
not appear to him to be restive, but perfedly
naa-
nageabee"; the Coach turned-. into "Band-Street,
very fast, and, he perceived. the carriage rise near-
ly.:one foot from the ground,. 'on .one - side,' and
was nearly overturned, Which Must have proceed-
ed from the wheels .of the carriage going over
the Gentleman's body ; the hores gallopped off
up, Bond-street ; he ran over,, and took hold of.
the Gentlernan's ,right aria, *and., with assistance,
brought. bun on the pavement,•when he left hint in
care of those who supported him, to-go and look for
.his hat and cane, The Gentleman was crossing'
from one side of Piccadilly to the other. Before he
helped hirn,uphe'was lying on his' face, with his
head towards Coventrylstreet, and exactly, in the
crossing. Witness imputed great blame .to the
corachman, fOr behig:On the wrong side, which pre-,
vented him from seeing the -coach that • was coming
/rum, Bond-gtreet,. towards Piccadilly,. and, obliged
him to: turn_ the Corner so sharp, or
,else he must
ham come in contact with the-other

The ,vidence being cicisel/41,' in regard to the cause
of the,accident, :Mr. R. Atkinson, • Apothecary, of
Jermjin-str=eet, was sWorn, in. order to ascertain the
Cause of the, Gentleman's death. He stated, that on
Thursday, the 4th of June, he was sent for at half.-
past ten at night, and came to, Mr.:Grange'S, when
heexamined.the GentleniAt. He did not perceive,
at first, any marks of Violence ; he blooded him in
the right arm, but he did nut bleed, . owing to the
circulation being so languid ; he ordered him to
be taken up 'stairs and undreSsed, and,,on examina-
tion, Ibund fotir or five of the left 'ribs were frac-
tured, and a great depression on the right side ; he
ex vired, wile he was examining him, before eleven.
He had.not the least dotibt that the acci-
' denr. was the cause of his death, not-immediately
from the .ribs being' fraelured, brit from other in-
ward injury, occasioned laY.the weight of the car-
riage.
The Jury, 'after' a quarter of .an hour's delibera-
tion, returned-a verdittorManslepightei• against the
coachman, at present unknown, und.a fine of ORe
on the carriage.'
After which, the Coroner bound over the Gen-
. denten of the Jury, and the Witnesses, in 401. each,:
