SLANDER.-BRADY V. RADENHUBST.

Mr. EVANS said this was an action brought by Dr. Brady,
a physician at Nantwich, against Mrs. Radenhurst, a re-
spectable lady, residing in the same town. Dr. Brady was
educated at St. Paul's and Cambridge, travelled on the
Continent in the prosecution of his medical studies, and be-
came a member of the College of Physicians. He was a
gentleman of considerable repute in his profession, and was,
among other honorary distinctions, during his practice in
the metropolis, physician to the Princess Amelia, until her
death. He married and had a family ; but having been
afflicted with the loss of his wife, and the successive death
of his children, he left the metropolis and settled at Nant-
wich. Here he again married a lady of the name of Hall,
daughter of the surgeon to the forces. This lady, in con-
sequence of an hereditary malady with which her family
were afflicted, unfortunately died by her own hand in April
last. The slanderous words complained of were, that the
defendant, Mrs. Radenhurst, said to Ellen Robinson, the
female servant of Dr. Brady, " It is a pity your poor mis-
tress is gone off so sudden. I beard in the market on Sa-
turday that Mrs. Brady had received a letter from Dr.
Brady's other wife, and opened it, where Dr. Brady was
not in." Robinson told this to Mrs. Ann Vaughan, the
plaintiff's housekeeper, and she told it to the Doctor, who
felt himself bound to bring the present action, in vindica-
tion of his chat actor.

Mr. TEMPLE addressed the Jury for the defendant.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with a farthing
damages.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION- HO USE.

The robberies committed on board the steam vessels
have now reached a most alarming height. The following
case is an instance of one system of plunder.
A tall man of decent appearance, who said that his name
was Willis, was brought before Alderman COWAN, who
yesterday sat for the Lord Mayor, charged under the fol-
lowing circumstances :

AdentlemannanTed Hakill accompanied two Ladies to the
Margate steam packet, Fresh Wharf. Among their him-
a
gage was a large carpet bag, containing clothes and trinkets
to the value of perhaps 1001. The prisoner was stopped
in his attempt to carry off the carpet bag. The Ladies
had gone on to Margate, and taken with them the bag,
which was recovered without loss. The vessel was, at
the time the robbery was committed, waiting at the wharf
for passengers, and numbers of persons were crowding in
with luggage and parcels of all kinds, so that a good deal .of
confusion was occasioned. One of the vessel's officers
stated that he particularly noticed the carpet bag brought
in by the company described, and saw it laid down along
with their other luggage. Immediately afterwards the pri-
soner, who did not appear to belong to them at all, walked
to the spot, took up the carpet bag, and was walking away
with it, when witness stopped him, and asked him where he
was going with the property. He replied that he was
waiting for a Gentleman who was to sail in the vessel. A
Gentleman and Lady then stepped forward and claimed the
carpet bag. Witness asked the prisoner to whom it was
directed, but the latter could not tell, and evidently knew
nothingabout it.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.
A most awful event took place in the course of the exa-
mination in the next case.

A young man in the employment of Messrs. Cheer and
Co., stationers in Cornhill, was brought before Messrs.
Alderman COWAN and WILSON, charged with having
acted indecently in the presence of a female on the pre-
ceding night.
The defendant protested most solemnly that the accuser
was mistaken, said that he had a wife and two children,
and that he had been in the service of Mr. Chater upwards
of five years, and was respected by that most worthy and
respectable Gentleman, who was in attendance to say whe-
ther he (defendant) could be capable of such conduct as
was attributed to him.
Mr. Alderman COWAN immediately addressed Mr.
Chater, who is well known to the Magistracy of the City,
and asked him what sort of moral character the defendant
bore ?
Mr. Chater stepped up to the dock at which the Mar-
shal stands to answer the question. He stated that the
defendant had worked for him for a considerable time, and
that not one of thirty men whom he employed was, in his
opinion, less capable of the conduct imputed to him than
the defendant. Mr. Chater, who appeared to be much
agitated while he was speaking, suddenly ceased, staggered,
and would have fallen to the ground, had not the Marshal
caught him. Upon being placed in a chair he frothed
at the mouth, and life departed in a few moments. When
a medical man arrived a vein was opened, but no blood
appeared. 4
The son of Mr. Chater arrived immediately, and it is
impossible to describe the scene which followed. The de-

ceased was placed in a shell, and in the evening removed to
his late residence. Ho was in his seventy-third year, and
was highly esteemed by all who knew him.
The defendant, who seemed to be greatly affected at the
death of his master, was, discharged, the Alderman declar-
ing that they believed the complainnt mistook one man for
another.

The female prisoner was discharged, with an admonition
from Mr. lIALLs to be more cautious in future as to what

she was a servant, and had fallen into the company of the
rhale oisonee by accident,
