OLD I.I.A.ILEY—(Tins DAY.)

Vary Davidge, whom our Readers will recol.
lect was conunitted on the Coroner's warrant, charged with the
wilful murder of her infant child, was this morning put to the
bar. Mr. ANDREWS immediately rose and observed, that on
looking at the inquisition be found it contained many errors.
Some of the Jury had not signed it, and many of them had not
put down their Christian names, consequently he felt it his duty
to state that he could not uphold the inquisition.
Mr. Justice lIOLROYD observed, that the Grand Jury had
not only thrown out the bill for murder, but for manslaughter
also ; in fact, there was on the evidence no ground for the
charge, and therefore the proceedings must be quashed.
John Page, charged on the Coroner's warrant with the crime
of Manslaughter, in having killed, on the 19th of May, Ben-
jamin Evans, was also arraigned, and after the Jury had been
charged it was discovered that Henry Day, the Surgeon, Was
not in attendance front Indisposition. The prisoner, of course,
was acquitted.
Mr. Justice Hor.aorn desired that an affidavit should be
made by Mr. Day, otherwise his recognizances would be for-
feited.

Mr. M Ant EWS, the Comedian, arrived at Liver.

where Mrs. AlATstrws and their NO were waiting
to receive him.

In consequence of the resignation. of Edmund,
Rigby, Esq., the Lords of the Treasury have been pleased
to appoint Mr. Alexander Stan'ey to be the Comptroller of
the Customs at this port. This appointment appears to have
given the highest gratification to the merchants and traders
of all classes who are interested in the regular and car.
net administration of business at the Custom-house. The
experience of more than thirty years, during which Mr. Stan.
ley has been a principal clerk of the Customs at this port,
induced the merchants of all parties to join in the mom.
mendation which obtained for hint this honourable ac-
knowledgment of his faithful deportment in that situa-
tion ; and the promptness with which the appointment wall
granted, is a proof that Mr. Stanley's merits were as highly
estimated by the Boards of Customs and Treasury in Louden,
as by those who had personally experienced his 2611111UOUSatun.
tion to his duties in Liverpool.—f Liverpool Courier.)
