Mr. Child argil' d that the prisoner, who had been treated
with the utmost. liberality by his client, bad committed the
acts imputed to him, and that the creit it given; o him by hiti
indulgerit master had' nu reference to the defalcations of whirl
he had been guilty.
'fife t_oen MAYOR said he could not help viewing the
charges against the prisoner as arising from an experiment
such es Mr. Clarkson had alluded to, and was of opinion that
the case would not stand for a moment before a jury. It Was
quite obvious Mr. Rea knew that the prisoner had COns'
himself, find might long ago have made him reaped:,
sible. At the same time that the prisoner must be discharOt
it was proper to intiirm him, that if the charges had bee!
brought fifteen or sixteen months ago, the position in which
he would stand would be essentially different from that 11/
which he at that moment appeared.
WORSHIP-STREET.
About eighteen months ago an application was made to
Mr. Bingham, late magistrate of this office, for a wore°t
against two men, named Closer and Hill; the former harial,
represented himself to be the owner and landlord of a om"
shop in the dying business in Finsbury, and the latter 3 0111'c
put upon the premises by a sheriff's officer to take poosess'vt
&c. The applicant, a young female. then explained tols!
magistrate that the man Closer, if he were, as he had 54°4
her lather, but of whom neither herself or her sisters had the
slightest recollection, about twenty years ago left his ton 1
in embarrassed circumstances, and the whole of the goodsti
&c., were sold by the sheriff. Some friends rallied rolne
them and purchased some of the furniture, and in the nom
of the eldest sister business was cart ied on, and continued lbt
a space of nearly twenty years, when the mother died, and
then it was that Closer so suddenly made his apeesra,ni,
with Hill, to take possession of goods and premises.
Bingham, in reply to the applicant, said that yeah
Closer or Hill had any right there whatever, Ss
the business belonged to the eldest daughter; and I 51•
ward, the officer, was sent to inform them that unless tht,
itnmediately withdrew, warrants would be granted for the
apprehension; and the trespassers, with evident reluctant
decamped. 11 Rhin the last two or three days Closer og`,7,
made his appearance; another application was made t°,l"
magistrate, Bmugliton, and Hayward was again desire('
to call at the house, and on his arriving there be enc°ll.hir
tered Close:-, who said that he had taken an inventory 0,,.
goods, and should stop there. Hayward replied, that the
goods which he stated belonged to him were sold by ,h
sheriff upwards of twenty years since. That the 70""'
women had, by their own industry and perseverance, tur
nished another home for themselves, and that unless he
ceased annoying them, means would be at once resorted to.
to eject him. Hayward added, that be had this morning
called upon the young women, when he learnt that thou
tormentor had quietly disappeared.

MARKET NEWS-(YESTERDAYA
A moderate quantity of English Wheat has been reeolve"
mt.) to our market this week; yet the number of sample
that grain on offer to-day was small. About 500 quartr.re::
red were taken for shipment to France, at very tull price:
In white qualities a steady business was doing at the 'late ill!:
provement in value. Foreign Wheat was in good request 7
French account, and the trade must be considered firm ,
Monda3's adva .ced rates. Both Barley and Malt were
ceedingly dull in sale, at barely stationary prices. The eul;
ply of Foreign Oats being large, the sale for all kinds
heavy, hut we can notice no further depression in value
and Peas very dull; but Flour and Indian Corn 7

DIVINITY and PHYSIC in FRANC!
One ..f the most singular cases ever submitted
court of justice was recently brought before the tribn,
of Correctional Police of; Draguigan (Var). 11:,1 el
ni( r, vicaire of the parish of Callas, was aenn-4
having administered to three persons substances roof
nature injurious to their health, an offence sr!, ol
punished by the third paragraph of the 317th article.,
the Penal Code. A deceased Peer of France haildS7i
peered, left a sum of 2,000 f. per annum to the parr
Callas, part of which was destined for the curero,
part to the maintenance of public worship. This reYePoo
added to the incomings of the parish priest, rendered of
situation a very enviable one. M. Garnier, vicairte
the parish, became smitten with an irresistable pi
sire to exchange his own subordinate situation for tbs:ai

his ecclesiastical superior with the living, as- to i_o*
him to resign. To accomplish this object he bit ncort
singular plan :—lle had established in the villages tbe
of pharmacy, and he transferred it to the kitchen of 4

stocked with jalap, senna, emetic-tartar, and °r
nauseous drugs ; and by some strange fatality it e°
pened that not a single dish, not a basin of soup, nboo
cup of coffee, was served up to the cures table witirbs
being dosed with senna, jalap, or tartar. ,_e
consequence was that the poor cure "`
