Mr. Richard King, ; liverystable keeper, in Union-

defended the 13-v. Mr. Bishop at Bow-street court, on a
charge of perjury; and un'ortunately the Rev. Gentle-
man was at that moment in Newgate, to take his trial on
the charge.
Mr. NORTON—Pray what was the nature of the
charge?
Mr. Games—The fact, Sir, was, that he pledged some
Suns at the shop of a pawnbroker iu the Strand for 20
guineas, and afterwards obtained a loan on the tickets of
two or three pounds. He, notwithstanding this, made a
representation to the pawnbroker that he had lost the
tickets, and obtained the usual form of affidavit, to which
ho swore, and took the property out of pawn, and for
this offence it was that he had been committed. The
Rev. Gentleman, however, informed him (Mr. Games)
that, if even at large, it was not his intention to appear
against the present prisoner, and even went so far as to
express his sorrow for the inconvenience be (the pri-
soner) had been put to, and begged of him (Mr. Games)
to attend and say so.
Mr. NORTON inquired if there was any one present
who had witnessed the proceedings at the commence-
ment, and a respectable looking female named White-
head got into the witness-box and said, she saw Mr.
Bishop standing in St. George's-road, near the Gibraltar
Arms public-house, in such a state of intoxication as to
be scarcely able to stand. The prisoner, who wsaB.l,_e:a_d...-

healthy action of the liver is of such vital importance to the
general health, that these interruptions, if not attended to,
too often terminate fatally. Should jaundice occur, it server
to remove all doubts with respect to this disease. Two or
three of Old Parr's Life Pills every night for a few weeks
will restore the patient to perfect health. The causes of
these diseases are before specified, which, as a matter of
course, should be carefully avoided.—Sold by Messrs. Bar-
