and in the course of conversation he told 'the 'Wit-
ness,- that as Colonel Cttrry t LA, or had affronted him

should take . the first opportunity to do so, fur: he
,had injured him greatly fie .also asked 'the Wit-
ness what' places he frequentedi4or he was deter-
mined to be satisfied.

There was no other evidrncr,,andCol.Gttt v
said, that he was tinder the' necessity Id:requesting
he might be held to bait, firm the threats which
be bad used, he was in danger Isialife, • The Pri-
soner denied the charge as implying the life of the'
Colonel, but ndmittedhe might hare used the words;
he wished to ask his-pardon.; but the Colonel

At.Concoury, in the vicinity of Saintes, in the
Department of the Lower Charente, a large number.
of Go !ti Medals have lately been found, which have
no inscriptions, but impressions of a variety of
figures, such as stars, horses, and heads of snakes.
They are not large in circumference; but thick and
concave on one aide. The general opinion of those
who !lave examined them is, that they are Celtic .
,Med:AL Some are melted together in forms rather
irregular, which Seems to indicate that they ate the
remains of a conflAgratiOn.

E!CHTH DAY--.TiIintSDAY, ArR TL 28.

THE attention of the Court was occupied a con-
siderable time this day by a case, in which the de-
tails of the Evidence on both sides were ru the
fol-
lowing general effect.
Ucuyis Doughty, alias Sto•Tut.y, and - Redding,
were charged with feloniously assaulting on the
night of the tcgth of February, Mary Nathan, in
the dwellinz house of Henry Nathan, and stealing
therein two men's coats, valuetBs. the property of
the said Henry Nathan.
The parties, lk,appeared, were all resident in
the
purlieus of ItagYart:; the Prisoners were Hiber-
nians ; the ProseCtifOr and his adherents of the
raclitish persuasion. By the .statements of Mrs.
Nathan, and Levy, a lad, her shop-boy, it should
appear that the Prisoners) with very little or no
provocation, and that merely verbal, knocked down
the lad, forced through the hatch-door into the
shop, violently assaulted Mrs. Nathan, knocked her.
down on the counter, and afterwards took away the
coats laid in the indidment.
_

By the statement of an adjoining Watch-house
Keeper, and the maid-servant of -the Prosecutor, a
narrative rather of a different complexion appeared :•
the Police-Officers refused to take the Prisoners into
custody, on the ground, that no charge
.of felony
had been originally ma 4 against them ; they were
afterwards apprehended b,.) the Patroles of the Parish.
It was positively asserted by one of the Witnesses,
that on being asked, whether the Prisoners had taken
any. thing from her, she said, she could not tell until
a.: had looked over her goods : and one or two of
the Police,Officers who were originally applied to,
said, that the charge was made by the Prosecutor's
people for a riot.
In their defence the Prisoners asserted their inno-
cence of the charge ; they admitted having a quar-
rel with the Prosecutor's lad, who insulted them, as
well as Mrs. Nathan, who called them
Rebels; &c.
Several Witnesses appeared in their behalf, some
of whom flatly contradicted the evidence adduced in
support of the prosecution, and swore that they
were never in Mr. Nathan's shop at all ; and others
narrated some circumstances which tended to mani.
fest a degree of incoinqatency in Other parts of, the
case urged by the Pc? ecutor's Witnesses. In short,
the ease appeared to ,e Jury tO,be of that descrip.
tion, as to warrant them in finding a verdict of----
Not Guilty.

THE KING v. GOUGH,

Mr. Gruss stated, that this Rule was for leave
to file a Criminal Information against the Defendant;
but as the Rule was not supported, he moved that
it be discharged;, which, after a few words by Mr.
EItSKINE the Court ordered accordingly.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAIL 28.

HALL #V, READ.

The Plaintiff, a Broker, had sent a bureau, value
three guineas, for sale to the East Indies ; it Was
returned unsold and damaged. It was sent, upon
its arrival in. England, to the Defendant, a Carpenter,
to repair it. The latter, in mending it, discovered a
private drawer, containing roo guineas, which he
kept, and returned the bureau ; for the mending of
which he charged a guinea. The Defendant, who
had been a very poor man, soon sheaved. symptoms
of wealth that led to suspicion, and suspicion led to
its real source. The Plantiff, on being informed of
it, -filed' a bill to 'recover...the too guineas, and the
matter now came before the Court for judgment.
The LORD CHANC?LOTi. thought the case
similar to that of a hackney,coachmart, who, if he
found a stranger's properly in his-coach, and refused
to deliver it to the owner, would be guilty of a
felony. The question was, therefore, whether it
was a felony or not; If a felony, he could grant no
redress, but must refer the matter to a Criminal
Court. On the other hand, supposing it to be a
subjea for his decisioni.; he could not determine
without some farther enquiry, as to the owner of
the money. He therefore postponed the cause for
his further consideration.

here, and you may judge of the state of this part
of -the country from the circumstance of only one
capital convittion taking place upon the whole route
---this was the case of a fellow who had conceived
some jealousy against his wife, to.whom he 'had
been about three weeks married—he had decoyed
her into a field where be strangled her, and then
laid her in a ditch—the murder was some time un.
discovered, but suspicion having arisen, and the
body being found, some strong circumstances arose,
upon which the Prisoner was found guilty, on Fri.
day last, in this town, and ordered to ,be hanged
to-morrow.

Last night a very melancholy accident hap.
pened in this town—a man, named James Molloy,
said to have been an old sailor, but by trade a
hatter, had some words with his wife, and being
heard giving her a very severe beating at the time,
a soldier and a woman passing by, entered the house,
to make inquiry of the cause, and, if possible, pre.
vent further mischief—the villain took up a gun,,
which he had in the room, (which was a street.
parlour) it was loaded with slugs, and he die.
charged it against the persons who had thus at.
tempted to interfere, whereby the soldier and the
woman were both instantly killed—and a Gentle.
man passing by was severely wounded, two of the
slugs having lodged in his arm—the Offender at.
tempted to conceal himself by hiding under a bed,
but he was immediately taken, and committed to
gaol to abide his trial.

WAYS AND MEANS.

On the question being put for bringing up the
report of Ways and Means,
L.7rd FULKSTONE rose, and began a speech
of considerable length, by expressing his disappro.
bation generally of the conduit of Ministers, and
particularly of that system of War Taos which
he conceived went to indispose the Country in the
first instance to the War by the heavy burthens thus
imposed upon it. He also highly disapproved of
that defensive system which seemed to be the sys.
tem of His Majesty's Ministers, 'and which could
only tend eventually to injure the Country, as the
system of this Country in the present Contest ought
to be offensive. Atter making several other obser.
vations condemning the conduft of Ministers, he
concluded by stating that he should not oppose the
bringing up of the Deport.
Mr. GREGOR said, lie had no intention to
trouble the House any long dine, he only wished to
be satisfied as to a point or two, in the statement
made by the CHANCELLOR Of the-EXCHEQUER yes.
terday. The principal ohjed of his rising, was to
inquire of the Right Hon. Gentleman, respelling
the Sum which he had taken credit for last night,
49 the growing produce of ,the Consolidated Final,
to the amount of 6,500,0001. In December last,
the Right Hon. Gentleman had mentioned, that ,the
probable produce would be seven millions eight }tun.
dred thousand pounds.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIRQUER
said, he had not made such a statement as
alluded to by the Honourable Gentleman.—
He was peifeftly justified however in taking
6,500,0001. as the surplus of the. COosOidated Fund
up to the fourth of April t 80. He then said,
that being up, he should take this opportunity
of adverting to two of the RCbOlUtiOltS which were
in the Report of the Committee now proposed to
be brought up. The House would reeollen, that

Young and Aleockwere killed before the capitu-
lation, the Prisoner could not be affeded ;- but if
they were put to death Mier having surrendered
their arms, and the
.Prisoner then Was a Leader,
commanding and abetting, he was guilty of Mur
tier. As to the exceptions from pardon in the
At, .ofGenerals,,..Makirs, and Captains, it would
be difficult to prove such titles in the Rebel Army;
but if the Jury believed the Prisonzr was a Leader,
having a: Command in the Rebei Army, it:excluded
him from the benefit of pardon. Tie then remark-
ed Delany was a prisoner during the fight-thit he
was not armed nor in uniform, and that there was
no evidence to sheW preconcerted scheme between
him and the'Rebels, or that he k'new' of their com-
ing to .Narramore. It remained for the Jury to
Consider, whether the panics killed, were killed
before the Prisoner came from the Coart,house, or
after they had surrendered, and whether at the
time they were killed; he had a command.

ROBBERY QF L,IDILS' SCHOOLS.

IT mar be remembered, that in the course of the
winter several robberies were 'committed in Paris
.and its environs, by a gang of female depredators,
who, gaining adMission into. different Establish.
merits for the. Education of Ladies, committed the
.most daring excesses, by conveying every purable
article of va,ltioto their companions (of both sexeq
who surrounded the iitiuse, and'ivho-were frequent-
ly guilty of personal vitrlenee towards the alarMed
and defenceless lcitnales,. The plan here alluded to,
has, it seems, been improved upon, :.110 reduced to
pratlice in this Metropolis.; for during the last
Week several Seminaries, in different parts Of the
town, bsyse been plundered in the following,
mat-inner :—A woman of genteel appearance and
;address, goes about nine in the morning to a
School for Ladies, and proposing some ques.
dons to the servants, or first person whom she
meets, as .to the terms of tuition, &e. is gene-'
rally conduaed into the best room till the Op-
; verness is ready to attend her. As it often hap•
pens that the latter is nnprepared to receive a
vi-
sitor at so early an hour, she has sufficient oppor—
tunity to survey the closets', and to pocket every
article of plate or small linen vihieh they' may con,
lain.. If the GoVerness happens to appear spec'
lily, the stranger puts such a 'variety of questions,
as to the method and branehes. of instruction; &c.
that "not the smallest suspicion of fraud is excited,
till too late for detthion. In this manner robbe-
ries to some extent were of led on Tuesday and
Wednesday, in the Serninarks of mrs..Le ntitre,
in Darmnich-street ; Mrs. ituir, in Fieet-street
at a School in Nesvgate-streei ; and at a consider-
able establishment of a similar kind in Broad-street ;

The tnly noticeable trial Which took place ,this
lay Was that of
Joh), Farris;, who was todieied for assattltiog
and stabbing'a Watchthan, in die execution df his
duty, &c.
It appeared, generally, from. the .evidence, that
-the Prisoner, who was a Cooper, and worked in the
Brew.house. of Messrs. Park, in t4olbOrn, was met,
in Company with a girl, by the Prosecutor; near
Nag's Head Court, Drury Lane, between one and
two o'clock in the nigrrling of the 6th of March—he
spoke to them about the, unseasonableness of the
hour, &e. on which words ensued, and they both
struck the watchman, who was thrown down—
the Prisoner afterwards stabbed the watchman with
a knife, or' other. sharp .instrument, in the lower
part of the:side :—the stab was made with such
strength as to, penetrate, through .five 'garments,
which, it appeared, the Prosecutor wore on that
night—the pOint entered the side, and were it not
for the five-fold buckler which defended this trusty
Guardian of the night, in 'all probability his life
would have been sacrificed f--he, lay ill of the
wounth—these circumstances appearing in evidenCe,
and the defence made by 'the Prisoner not being satis-
fadory.to the Jury, they shortly. found him
This prisoner was also tried ,upcm 41second charge
of a .violent assault upon a person of the name of
JaMes Commerford, and the charge being substan-
tiated by evidence, the Jury pronounced a verdid
similar to that delivered_ by them on the limner
case.
The Court immediatelY passed judgMent upon
the Prisoner.;
,and the CHAIRMAN, after expatiat-
ing upon' the aggravated nature of the case, and
seriously admonishing him as to his future conduit,
sentenced the Prisoner, for the first offence, to two
years imprisonment, and far the second, 'to siX,,
moot ha additional confinement :—after which, to
