THE LATE ELOPEMENT.

The beau monde in the West of the Town bas lately
been converted into a " School for Scandal," in descanting
upon the misfortunes of an Honourable Baronet, deprived
of his accomplished Lady. One does not like to disclose
all that one knows about an affair so seriously unpleasant.
Suffice it to say for the present that the wife of a Baronet,
the owner of a fortune of 25,000/. a-year, a Member of
Parliament for a County, and the proprietor of a splendid
town and country establishment, has eloped from a home
which, all .the world presumed to be a happy one, and
which the fashionable part of it have long known to be
the gayest and most favourite resort of the glittering cir-
cles of society. These advantages, with all the " pride,
pomp, and circumstance," that appertain to them, this
lady has sacrificed for ever, by absconding with a young
military gentleman, claiming, it is said, veryligh alliances,
but claiming them in a particular way. With scarcely
means to support himself in the class of society, in which
he has hitherto moved, the Lady ---- will find her fu-
ture situation in life a very different one indeed, and a
very sad chadt from that which she has abandoned. She
is young an armful. A very clever well-executed par-
trait of her and her husband were in the late exhibition at
Somerset House. We can scarcely term this elopement
a flight, as we have pretty good reason to know that the
guilty parties are at this moment in one part of the town,
whilst the injured husband is residing at another. Inqui-
ries have been made at Steven's, Long's, Limner's, and
other fashionable hotels at the West End of the Town re-
sorted to by the gallant Lothario, but as yet he has
escaped detection.--11forning Chronicle.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

EXETER, THURSDAY, JOLT 21.
torEs V. ANDRIMS AND OTHNRS.

The plaintiff is Sir Manasseh Maisel' Lopes, and has,
through various circumstances, been drawn from his retired
situation into public notice on more occasions than one.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 40s.
d arnages. The question as to the right being in the Crown,
through the Duchy of Cornwall, is reserved for further
consideration at Westminster.

SOWDOI4 V. MITCHELL.

This was an issue directed by the Court of King's
Bench to try the validity of a judgment signed on a war-
rant of attorney.
Mr. Selwyn, for the defendant, admitted that he could
not resist the plaintiff's case; and a verdict was taken ac-
cordingly in his favour.

TIM KING, AGAINST WM. HENRY
This was one of several indictments which had been
preferred against the prisoner, at the sessions for the city
of Exeter, but which had been removed by certiorari into
the King's Bench; and the Court had ordered that the
Jury should be taken, not from the city of Exeter, but
from the county of Devon at large.
The Learned Judge having summed up the evidence,
the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The conviction renders the prisoner liable to trans.
portation.

WARWICK, TiluusnAy, JULY 27.
cnowx counT.

Samuel Smith was indicted for the wilful murder of
Mary Ann Randall on the 24th of May last.
Daniel Hazlewood, the shepherd of Miss Overton, re-
membered the night of Mary Randall's death ; saw the
prisoner and Mary Randall that night at the end of the
brewhouse, a little after ten o'clock; they were in conver-
sation ;he was not near enough to hear what passed ; ofi
the seine night I saw them in the kitchen, leaning each of
them on the table, and the prisoner said, r I am sick;
what's a thing good for it." Mary Randall said, some
warm water; Smith then said, " I shall have a little," and
lie took a mug from the shelf ; he put some warm water
into the mug and left the kitchen with it. She followed
him; I went out to fasten the shutters, and I met Smith
coming in ; I saw Mary Randall washing something from
the veasel; the next thing I heard Mary say was, Good
Sam: great luck to you ;" I was awakened by
Smith about 12 o'clock, who said Mary was dying; I said
" What can be the matter ?" Thomas Amos mine again
and said, " Sam, they say Mary's dead ;" he said, "I'll
get up, for her mother will never be able to bear it," and
he did get up and went down.
Cross-examined-11e seemed much agitated when he
heard that Mary was dead.
A fellow servant of the deceased proved, that after go-
ing up stairs, she was seized with violent vomiting, and said
she should die—she must die.

Miss Overton, a very masculine-looking person, corro-
borated this testimony.
The mother of the deceased was called in about an hour
before her child died, and found her in extreme agony. The
deceased at first refused to tell, but afterwards said, " Sam
gave it to me."

The, surgeon who upened the deceased said, that her
death was caused by some corrosive poison.
In reply to a question from the Court, he observed, that
three grains of arsenic were sufficient to take away life.
The Jury in the course of a quarter of an hom.,retiirned
the following verdict :» We find the prisoner guilty of
administering poison with intent to produce abortion."

hired the horse to sell him." fr
