from Bengal.

The Indicateur de Bordeaux, received this morning, says,
that the Treneh troops of the division'of Cadiz have . quitted
their cantonments in that neighbourhood, and it is stated they are
going to embark to return to France; the Cavalry and Artillery
will proceed by way of Madrid. It is also stated that the Swiss
troops are going to leave, and will be replaced by two regi-
ments of infantry, and one of cavalry, coming from France.
A Frenchman has arrived at Madrid, for financial operations,
being commissioned to open a negociation with the Spanish Go-
vernment of great importance.

OLD BAILEY---(Tuns DAY.)
OLD COURT.

Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDAtu and Mr. Justice

GA SELEE.)
MANSLAUGHTER.

henry Ryder, a smith, aged 52, stood indicted for kill.
ing and slay►ng John Nicholas o►► the 28th day of Aug,us,
last.

Henry Seymour, a surgeon for Westminster Hospital—
I knew John Nicholas, deceased. He was brought to the
hospital on the 28th August, in a fit of intoxication. He
had s wound on the back part of the head, and also one
on the under lip. This was on Monday. On Tuesday he
was better, and began to recover his senses ; on Wednes-
day he was worse, became delirious, and died on Thursday
morning, at four o'clock; his head was subsequently
opened, and the cause of his death was from great injury
done to the brain, occasioned apparently by a blow or fall.
A blow .of the fist could certainly not occasion it. It
might have happened by a fall; a man falling by himself
would occasion it, or it might have been occasioned by a
fall from a violent blow struck by another. Every atten-
tion was paid to him.

Cross-examined by Mr. BARRY—The deceased was
very much intoxicated; whether his loss of senses was oc-
casioned from the injury in the head, or the drink he had
taken, I don't know. rhe injury might have been much
increased from the intoxication.

By the COURT--It is impossible to tell whether the de-
ceased died from inflammation increased b
tion, or the full itself. The injury from they the intoxica-
as might have occasioned death, independent of y ''s such
inflam-
mation from intoxication, but can't say whether tlebide--
deceased
died, from that alone, or from inflammation in-
creased by drunkenness.
t
George Swambleton—l knew the deceased• he was a
bricklayer; I remember seeing him on the 28th of August
in York-street, Westminster; he then appeared to meo
be very much in liquor; I remember also seeing the pri-
soner Ryde in York-street; I did not know him before;
ensoner •
it was then nearly seven o'clock in the evening ; they both
spoke to each other ; Ryder spoke first ; he sapid " How

Ryder said " You are drunk," eased said Whati that
's
to you ?" after some further conversation decea.sed put
himself into g fighting attitude; the prisoner pushed de-
ceased down; I told the prisoner to go away ; the de-
Ceased "40 was going away, and the prisoner told him to come
in the mouth which into the middle of the road and he would give him a good
one; they went accordingly, and the prisoner hit deceased
back of his head • he became quite insen-
Bible ; his head bled

Cross-examined—When We got to the hospital, deceased
was bleeding. The prisoner seemed to regret what had
happened, and to,feel for the situation of the deceased. I
did not know either of the parties. I have ascertained
since that, they were known to each other. Deceased had
not the power of striking prisoner after I saw them, he
having been knocked down at that time. Did not hear
prisoner say, if that's what you want, come on!
William Westwood was present when the affray took
place. Deceased struck at the prisoner across my arm
twice before prisoner struck him. Prisoner kocked de-
ceased down by the blow on the mouth. My, opinion is,
that deceased's intention was to fight. •
Other witnesses were called, who corroborated the above
statements. .

The prisoner being now called on for his defence, put
in a written paper, which stated, that on the night in ques-
tion having met deceased, and knowing him, he said, " Is
that you, old boy? I see you have got your load, and
you had better make the best of your way home." De-
ceased then said, " You are every thing but one—you are
not jannock," meaning, you are not good in every respect;
and deceased struck him twice on the breast. Thinking
was in joke, be went away, as somebody advised him,
without taking further notice of him. Deceased ibllowed
him, and hit him twice more on the neck. He turned
round, and asked if he was in earnest; deceased said yes,
and then he invited him on to the road, off the pave-
ment. When they got there deceased attempted to
strike, but he (prisoner) knocked him down. He
had no animosity towards deceased, was sorry for what
had happened; never had any intention seriously to hurt
him ; had been in the army for eight years, and an honest
workman for twenty years, and had a wife and family
wholly dependent on his exertions ; his wife saw deceased
on the following day in the Hospital, who told her that he
was sorry for prisoner's confinement, as he himself had
been wholly to blame.
Two witnesses were called, with one of whom prisoner
had worked seven years and a half, and the other had known
him for fourteen, years. They gave him an excellent
character.

Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, in summing up, thought the
Jury ought at once to discharge the prisoner from the
capital charge in the indictment of murder ; but that it
would be for them to consider whether, upon the whole
of the evidence, the prisoner was guilty of manslaughter.
—The provocation had clearly been given in the first in-
stance by the deceased, but the law did not authorise a
man to do as the prisoner had done.
The Jury retired for 10 minutes, and then returned a
verdict of Kot Guilty.
BURGLARY.

John William Wilson and Thomas Walker were indicted
for breaking and entering. the • dwelling house of Samuel
Harley, in the parish of St. Luke, and stealing four tea-
spoons, two gold rings, and other articles.
Samuel Harley deposed that he was a saddler, living at
101, Bunhill-row. On Sunday, the 4th of July, he left
home with the whole of his family; on his way home,
about eleven o'clock at night, he was informed that his
house had been broken into and robbed. On entering the
house, he found that the articles specified in the indictment
had been taken away. The cruet-stand and spoons were
his property; the rings were his daughter's. He saw the
whole of the articles afterwards at the watch-house.

Cross-examined byMr. biess's family consisted
of his wife, son, and two daughters; had no lodgers in the
house at the time in question; was sure he locked the door
when he went away.

Marianne Reid is a servant to Mr. Young, residing near

to the prosecutor ; on the night in questiOn was standing
at her master's parlour window ; this was at 20 minutes past
six ; saw the prisoner Wilson and some one else come out of
a public-house, and went to Mr. Harley's door; there
they shook hands and parted. Wilson crossed the street,
and returned a short way, where he met two other per-
sons, one of whom was the prisoner Walker. They all
three went to Mr. Harley's house, where one of them
took something out of his pocket, and put into the
key-hole, and Walker knocked very loud several times.
I went to them and told them that Mr. Harley and his

family were all from home. I then left them and went to
the public-house, where I told. what I had seen and done.
The landlord said, notuense. I afterwards went to a per-
son's named Dicks, to whom I related the story. Mr.
Dicks soon afterwards went to the house of the prosecu-
air, both bells of which he pulled violently. After the
bells rung, Walker ran out of the house, and Wilson was
collared in the passage.
Henry Boucher took Walker, whom he saw come out
of the house; took him to the watch-house, and saw him
searched. . , •
John Cuttle searched the house,. but could find no third
person in it. The house up stairs seemed to be very
much in a litter.
James Martin found the four spoons in the passage.
The prosecutor identified the cruet and spoons, and his
daughter the rings.
The prisoners made no defence.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Gnilly
against both the prisoners—Death.
NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT and a Middlesex Jury.)

BIGAMY.
Thomas Taylor, whose name is so familiar to the public,
in the double capacity of plaintiff and defendant, on charge
of crim. con. and bigamy, was this day put to the bar to
take his trial for the latter. The case excited considerable
interest on account of the circumstances whicli'induced the
prosecution. The Court was crowded to excess.
Messrs. Anot.Pum and Bnongittex appeared as Coun-
sels far the prosecution, and Messrs. ALLEY and PHILLIPS
tin' the defendant. ,

Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case. This, he said, was one
of those offences against society, which is punished accord-
ing to circumstances; the heaviest punishment that could
be inflicted was transportation for seven years.- He would
not detain the Jury with any further observations, but call
witnesses to prove the facts stated in the indictment.
John Inskip examined by Mr. BRODERICK.—Was a
clerk in Mr. Harmer's office. The paper which -he pro.
duced was an examined copy of the marriage register of
theGresely, et the parish church of
Raiford,l
Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY—Did not find the re.

gister in the church, but with the Vicar, where it was al-
ways kept.
Mr. ALLEY—That's more than you know.
Witness—James Fuykes was along with me, who was
the subscribing witness to the marriage.
Mr. ALLEY—That's more than you can tell.
The paper being then produced, Mr. Alley objected to

a
pN
Mr. ADOLPHUS—The Act requires that for a Certificate;
vuncy of the objection ; but it was every day's practice
to admit such without a stamp. _

The objection was consequently overruled, and the copy
read, as fellows. _

Thomas Taylor, a bachelor, and Ann Gresely, have
been married by banns, at the parish church of Ratford,
Nottinghamshire, on the 28th of March, 1809.
(Signed) Edward Creswell, Vicar.
Underneath the copy were the following lines :--
.
I certify, that the above is a true copy of the marriage
of Thomas Taylor with Ann Gresely, as entered in the
Register. There being no sOiature to this certificate, Wit'
ilebs was asked who wrote it, he replied that he wrote it

himself for the Clergyman to sign, but that the latter re-
fused to sign it unless on a 55. stamp.
Mr. BRODERICK—That corroborates our statement that
a stamp is not required except for a certificate.
Mr. ALLEY---There is no proof that this: copy has been
taken from,the Iroper4egister.. The only r vidtmce is, that
it has been taken-fronta:bookivhich some one told witness
was the registei..ne. Learned. Cnunsel tltt,ll read an.ex-
tract from an Act OfParliatnent,..requirittv that a chest
Should be kept in every parisb 'church, for tht, purpose of
having all registers deposited therein.
The COMMON SERGEANT apprehended the register hav-
ing been found in proper custody was sufficient proof of
its authenticity. He would allow the Learned Counsel
:the benefit of the objection, but would not stop the trial
on account of it. .

Cross-examination of witness resumed—Bad not been
sent by Mr. Heapy of the Stock- Exchange for this copy ;
the prosecution was carried on by Mr. Heapy.
Mr. ALLEY—Was it not publicly stated that be was
the:prosecutor?
Mr. ADOLPHUS desired witness not to answer that ques-
tion. Public statement bad nothing to do with the case
before- the Jury. •
Mr. Al.t.vv apprehended that what had been stated by
those entrusted with the management of the prosecution,
ought to be admitted as evidence.
The COMMON SERGEANT overruled the question.
By Mr. ALLEY—Mr..Dopson,.a merchant in Bucklers-
bury, carried on the prosecution.
John Fuykes, examined by Mr. Anol-Pu6s.--Vas L.
lace-maker at Retford. Edward Cresawell, whose name
was to the copy of the marriage-register, was Vicar of
that parish; knew the prisoner for several years; was
present at his marriage with Ann Gresely in 1809; was a
subscribing witness to the marriage in the • register; they
lived together (prisoner and his wife) for a month after
the marriage in witness's house; in consequence of a
quarrel, went off and left his wife behind him; witness
was his brother-in-law; prisoner returned to his wife some
time after ; had frequently seen that wife since; saw her
this morning.
Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—This marriage took
place seventeen years. ago ; did not know how old the pri-
soner was then ; he might be fifty years for aught he knew,
but would not think so from his appearance; did not know
that he was no more than. seventeen years; had frequently •
seen the first wife since she was at present in town ; was
not aware that she had any hand in the prosecution.
By the COURT—She bad not lived at Retford for some
time back; she lived at Birmingham; did not know that
she had been kept by another man, but heard that she was
Ithusekeeper to some one there; never knew any of the.
prisoner's family ; heard that they lived at Birmingham.
John George • Leigh examined by-. Mr. BRODERICK—,
Produced the marriage register of St. George's Church,
Hanover-square, in which was recorded the marriage of
Thomas Taylor with Sarah Bond, May 6, 181.9.
Ann,Bond was then called, but did nut answer to. her,
name.
Mr. PHILLIPS—I hope she is not put out of the way,
for she is an important witness for us.
A search was then made, but she could no where be
found. • •
Mr. ALLEY. and Mr. PHILLIPS expressed their indigna-
tion at the prosecutor not bringing forward this witness,
who could give material evidence on the part of the pri-
soner. She had been examined at Bow-street, and he
could not see why she should not be produced on this occa-
sion, as her evidence there had given a wrong impression.
The Solicitor for the prosecution stated, that he had
brought her there this morning, and that it was not his
fault if she were not forthcoming.
Mr. ADOLPHUS—Let her be called on her recognizances.
The propriety of examining other witnesses until a fur-
ther search should be made was suggested, and
James Freeth was examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS.—Lived
at Birmingham ; was a shop-keeper, and married to the
sister of prisoner ; she had been dead sonic time. The
father, brother, and several of the prisoner's family lived
at Birmingham for many years ; knew the prisoner's wife;
saw her last this morning; saw her three weeks ago at
Birmingham, The family of the prisoner-were well aware
that she lived there. She had now been about fifteen
years at Birmingham; prisoner lived two years in Birming-
ham after his marriage; saw him about nine years ago, at
his father's 'house there, where he remained for about three
weeks, during which period witness saw hint the or xi%
times; his wife was there at that time; prisoner might
hare easily known that.
Thomas Taylor examined by Mr. AnoLritus.---Was
father to the prisoner— -
" What, what ?" said Mr. ALLEY, " putting the'father
in the box against the son ? I never knew such a shame-
ful act in my life. This is just likesthe rest of the case—
doubtless it is legal, but indelicate. I would not for my
right hand .have done it."
Mr. Apommus----Do you keep your right hand to your-
self, and we will put him in your box.
Examination resumed.—Witness being asked to look.
into the parish' register 'of St. George'i Church, and say
whether that was prisoner's hand-writing subscribed to
the marriage entry ? . thus - classically replied," I can't
say, for I nose not as how he can write at all."
Examined by Mr. BthinEnicx—Prisoner was at his
house eight or .nine years ago ; did nut know that pri-.
minces wife was in Birmingham at the time ; could not
Say bow long prisoner stopped there, as-he went off un-
known to witness.

Two witnesses more were then examined, to prove the
hand-writing of the prisoner, but could not swear to it. .
Ann 'Bond was again called but did not appear, and
there being no evidence of the second marriage the COM-
MON SERGEANT directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner.
They accordingly returned a verdict of .Not Guilty!
on the announcement of which a sensation of joy was ma-
nifested in Court.

Mr. PHILLIPS declared it was not through any inter.
ference on behalf of the prisoner that Ann Bond had ab.
rented herself.

John Hewick, a man of colour,-was tried before a Jury,
one;•half of whom were foreigners, and the other half
Englishmen, for stealing a piece of cotton, the property of
Mr. Robinson.-
The Jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to
mercy. -
Riehitid Myal, a boy about ten yt ars of age, was
indicted for stealiog two chairs valued .54 the property of
Taylor.—Vertlict—Guilly.
