BEDFORD, JULY 15.

I happened to fall in company yesterday with a
Gentleman who had that morning come out of
near the place where the robbdry-
oßir tfoorrdd s 101 rs es

sy
ntler was committed. The I'ol-
- is a correct account of the robbery, as related
by him, and upon which you may safely rely. He
•
'robbed the Butler, .as aboVe-mentionedi of thirty-
five pounds, after which he met a pig jobber, and
robbed-him of money just . and a watch ; after which
:in acquaintance of tl,er pig jobber's came up, and
they agreed to pursue him, which they did, and in
the sporting phrase; " turn'd him" several times ;.
at length he reached a s and took into it ; but
found his pursuers gaining so fast upon him, that
he had.no chance of 'escaping with his horse ; he
therefore dismounted,' abandoned him, and tied info
the thickest Pali of the wood—the pig-jobber se-
cured the horse, and gave the alarm of his being'
concealed there, to ''a Gentleman of the name of
BRAND, who immediately called out his Company of
Sharp-shooters, which he commands, and surround-
ed the wood
,(it not being of eery great extent), ally
night; the next morning a party of about twelve
went into the wood, found and secured him; he is
a genteel looking young man, of about twenty-five
yeais °lnge, and it appears from his book of orders,
which was found in his saddle-bags, together with
half a dozen watches, and the property he had
taken, that he rides for some house in London.. I-k
had, no arms but a pistol, which 'was nut loaded; it
is supposed he has been ,iporting rattier deeply at
York,. and had been unfortunate, and has taken. his
method to makeup his deficiencies. 1

were Called, and froth their teStimuny, it ap- '
peareA, 'that the Defendant first began by calling the
Plaintiff a false swearer, and hegave h: n a blow on the
stomach which drove him against tie wall. The Plain-
tiff, when he recovered himself, -asked why the De-
fendant behaved in such a manner, o')sierving, that if
he had done any thing unjust, the I),..fendant knew
his proper remedy. The Defendant, instead of being.,
appeased by this forbearance on the part of the Plain-
tiff, spit in his mouth, and on his face. He then put
his stick under ins left arm, and, clenching both his
fists, placed himself in a posture to fight, and en-
deavoured to provoke the Plaintiff to strikehim. The
Plaintiff said, he Would take other means of ptnish-
ing him The Defendant seized his stick and gave
the Plaintiff a blow across his shoulder. The
Plaintiff desired his wife to go fOr Mr. Shefford,
a neighbour: Sheftbrd came in,.and upon being
told what had passed, said, " Why do you not send
for a constable ?" The Defendant replied, " What
hbsiness is it of your's?" and he pulled a constable's
staff out of his pocket, collared Sheffdrd,' and threat-
ened to take him to the Compter. Shefford eluded
him, and the Plaintiff was returning up stairs, when
the Defendant made a violent blow at his head with
a stick, but it missed him. The Plaintiff then sent
for his Attorney, but the Defendant said he Would
go for him himself, and beat him in the same man-
ner. The other fa&s stated by the Learned Coati,
sel. were proVed.
The SOLICITOR-GEiSTERAL attempted to weaken
the impression of the fasts, but without success.
Lord Ett,Etsrisoltouott severely, animadverted on.
the violent and unprovoked condo& of the Defend-
ant, and thought the Jury ought to mark their sense
of it by commensurate damages.
The Jury returned a verdia for the Plaintiff—'

Mr. EltaMIN.:, for the' forinetl,,, said, that in a state
of vloient convulsions, the &INV of Mr. Betutield
was delivered to the care ofEleahor Bennett. The

most alarming to.which the tender frame
of an infant could be 'exposed. The " aphtlite, or

tion, which, in the :sequel, comMunicated,ittO

whieh indicated its tendency to corrupt. For' the
cavlfal attention suecesfully,paid to the nurse and
child, under this afillaing.complaint, for the term
of three or four mouths, this demand wastnade. The
Defendant, he understood, was a man of property
and respectability ; and therefore he could form. no
idea on what ground he should resist this claim. •
Eleanor Benact gave testimony to the fads stated
in the opening.
Mr. Sandford, a fiurgeon, said,
.the charges were
reasoulble, and the nopheations were proper for the

Lord Eta.v,:lia 0 That was too much to

The Witnessadded, that the acrimonious humours
very frequently excoriated the nipples'of the purse.
Mr. Gattuow, for the Defendant, argued, that
the Plaintiff was not employed by Mr. Bonsfield. Mr.
Pedal, the Professor employed by the family, had
.recoMmended that the child should have no physic
whatever, as the hest means of cure was the opening
diet from the breast of a healthy woman. The Plain-
tiff, therefore, came as a volunteer, and the De.
fendaut wam not liable. .
Mr. Wit;LEY, on the same side, took a,formal
obje4-tion, because the Plaintiff had not contented
himself with the plea of work and labour; but had
blundered on a special declaration.

money laid out and expended."
Mr. Cialtitow,.....“ What! .for simples congaed

turned ?" •
Lord ELLzw.eostouos.--w‘ I shall be extremely
sorry, if we cannot find something Vhich applies. It
will be painful to me to turn you round on these
objeCtions."
Mr. ERSKINE said, his Learned Friend had aban-
doned his first defence, and had resorted to a new
scheme, from the forms of the Record. The slipis,
that the attendances arc said to be upon the Delft-
, dant, instead ,of being upenthe Counsel were
obliged to take ohjedions in every Odious manner;
and the more detestable it was on the present occa-
sion, the more ably would his Learned Friend per.
form his duty, because he would the more correctly
repro eat his Client. The applicable words .were
ti ett, " journies and attendance for the Defendant."
The medicines were charged at 4.1. 125.; for these,
the Jury must find nothing; but it would be indeed
extraordinary, if,ifthe successfol labours, during three
or four months, of a learned. and ingenious profes-
sor, invested with the collegiate prwilege% should
be supposed not to. deserve a compensation of five
pounds,
Lord ELLENBOIROUGII......'" It is unlucky that this
demand is not supported by the declaration, These
pleas were taken down from sonic shelf, and belong
to some other cause, and thus there was no case
before you; but by accident (for it would be wrong
to attribute,any dei,ign to' the Pleader), there slipped
into the declaration, 'other journies and attendance.'
In the absence of any count referable to the medi
eines, I think you may charge ler these attendances,"
Mr. Gaattow (mterposing).—" I have put in his
bill, my Lord, in which he charges one guinea for
these attendances,"
Lord Et.i.asamtottott.—" Then there is a one
guinea charge ultra the medicines, and I don't
think he can demand more than he has himself
atated ; beyond the specific charge your verdiEt can-
not extend ; there is, however, in the bill some se-
riOus admixture, which he must have paid for, that
will apply to the count of money paid ; the rest
.he might, prehaps, have gathered in time fields,"
The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff4l. t 2s.
We are sorry to notice, that this unexpected ver-
,
diet produced a vulgar indication of applause, which,
hir a third tittle within these few days, occasioned
the reprobation of the Learned Judge ; who
that it any man would discover the person guilty of
tins indettey, he woiddlitie the offender 201.

WARD AND OTHERS V. BURROWS.
This was an action to recover the amount of goods.
which the Plaintiffs had sold to a Mrs. Howe, upon the
recommendation of the Defendant. It appeared that
the Defendant was the brother of. Mrs. Howe, who
was a milliner. He introduced her to the Plaintiffs,
saying she would be a good customer, and that the
motley was safe. Such was the testimony of one
witness. Another swore that the Defendant said
she would be a good customer, and that the money
should be paid.
Lord .ELCENnoftouott, .as a preliminary question;.
desired the Jury to consider which of these two
statements • they credited.r-4he Jury adopted the
latter ; upon which his 'Lordship observed; that as
it amounted to an ,undertaking. to answer for the
debt of another, the Statute of Frauds required that
lait should be in writing. The P intas were of course.
nonsuited.

apprehended upon a warrant for an assault, upon
which he did not afterwards indict the Plaintiff; but
there being no malice proved,
Lord ELLENBCMOU on observed, that Lord KLNYCW
had held that malice could not be inferred from the
mere circumstance of not following up the charge
by Indiament, for that tile'Prosecutor might have
been actuated by motives of humanity to abstain
from farther prosecution ; and therefore the Plain.
was nonsurted. •

_ARRoW stated, that
114 this was an aolion
which, nut only as itrltl.bef esented the public peace,
o
but the situation of end ant us a subordinate
agent in the administration of justice, deserved the
most serious attention on the part of the Jury, and
called for severe daina;,,es. The Plaintiff was a Hair-
dresser, and the Defendant an Officer of the Sheriff's
of London. it Might be necessary to observe that
the Defendant, though a bailiff, was a vor t mart
man, and not only a smart mail, but a man of conSi-
derahle: property, least if his own word might be
taken, Ica- he boasted that he kept a Atylish villa, and a
hunter of Arabian breed; in short he was what was
denominated a buck. The Plaintiff exercised his
cuius upon the head of the Defendant, but could
get no money without putting the law ,in motion,
and he took out a Writ against the Dekndant, in
order to arrest him who had arrested many. He

that he was a watchman at Blackwall Dock, and at
a quarterbeforetwelve o'clock in the evening statyd,
the Prisoner suddenly seized him is his box, dragged
him out with great violence, and, when down, knelt
on his head, and robbed him of the preperty'above
stated. He could swear to the person of The Pri-
soner, who was a workman in the Dock . dur-
ing Mt. Perry's time. He was also sure that
the person who fobbed him wanted two fins
gers on one hand. The Prisoner had borrowed
eighteen-pence of him in the course of Satur-
day, and, on paying him at night, he had an op-
portunity of seeing what witness had in his pocket
It appeared, that, after 'the robbery had been corn-.
mitted, the Prisoner picked up a disorderly woman,
not far distant from the spot, with whom he slept
that night ; and she swore to the fa& of his having
twa. 11. notes and some silver, in a purse which an-

The Prosecutor; a taylor, residing in the Strand,
stated, that the. Prisoner ordered a quantity of wear-
ing apparel, at his shop, on the 4th of June, when
he, endered the bill in question, which proved to
have been forged. On being asked to produce the
forged instrument, the .Prosecutor said he had lost
it; with his pocket-book , and other memorandums,
while waiting in the Court-yard on Saturday; and
he supposed his pocket must have bum pleked.--
Mr. Justice LAwar:NcE asked hint, if he had made
no inquiry about it, when the Prosecutor answered
in the negative. After some conversation with the
Bench, the Judge stated, that it appeared. to him, by
the examination. before him, that the Prosecutor
wrote a note, on the 9th of July, requesting an in-
terview with the Prisoner's father, which eircum
stance rendered his conduet Very.suspiciOus.
'James Gullimore, an Officer, stated,. that he ap-
pointed to meet• Basters, on Tneiday,at Hicks's Hall,
to prefer a bill of inditiment against the. Prisoner;
On their arrival at the Hall, Basters said he. had not,
got the bill, and he WAS sent brie. for Mr.

At the Public,.Office, Bow-street, yesterday, a man-
was 'examined under the charge of defrauding a coun-

statement it appeared, that a few days since he went to
the repository in Barbican to purchase a horse, at which
place he fell in company with the Prisoner. They went
together to the Saracen's Head Inn, Snow-hill, where
they played several games at cards, and the Prosecutor

Went out of the room. The. Prosecutor was tbllow-
