Empowered by Act of Parliament

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates en short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
snit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have'alre.ady been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in oash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums.

instead of being lifted In and out of Ws carriage, he could leave it with-

"To Mr. CABBURN—Sir, I beg to state my satisfaction as to
your Oil in cases of Rheumatism, Gout, &c , and the peculiar effects
are truly astonishing. I can forward you a list of highly respectable
and important testimonies. A patient within tt-e last two months,

whose case was deemed hopelesg, from the use of your Oil, has

SIDNEY and HALL, Propriebrs.
• Tha New• Year opens with more cheering prespects for the:Tea
Consumer, than for many previous seasons. Par, rapine, and injus-
tice have given Place to peace and friendship The glories of the
Celestial Empire are no longer veiled in myetery to the Western
hemisphere. An extended field is opened to the energies of the British
rnercriant—,-we trust for suceeesfhl enterprise. 4*.es yet to follow will
admire the firmness which has successfblly overe•me the rooted preju-
dices of thousands of yea ; and the ingenious nillions who populate
the vast territories of China, will hail the even; that opens to their
industry the commercial freedom of the civilised world. Otte of the
many advantages of peace over war to the comnunity is best shown
by reference to the comparative value of Tea in 1840 and /844:
Value of eommon Congou (exclusive of duty in
February 1840 •••• • • • • 2s. 9d. to 3s. and 3s. 4d. per lb. '
Value.of common Congou (exclusive of duty) in
February 1844 • • . • • ...lid. to Is. and h. 2d. per lb.
Making a difference of two hundred per cent., tx thrice the value of
Tea, in the time of war over the present rates. We recommend fa-
milies .to pay for a Common Breakfast Tea, Is. 4d. per lb. ; for a
strong full-bodied Conon, 3s. Bd. or 4s. per lb. ; for the finest Congou
imported, ss. per lb. ; and for the most delicious 3ouchong, ss. 6d. per
lb. The two latter Teas are of very rare quali'y.

who had been summoned, had arrived, and Southey pointed
his finger beckoning to them, on which some of them re-
sponded to him. To one of these he gave a piece of paper,
and they went down together towards the Rainbow, when
John Smith stopped, and Abraham Smith went into the Rain-
bow. He asked Mrs. Smithers if Mr. Coppock was there,
and she replied, "No, he was not." He rejoined, " Yes, he
is, and I have got a letter for hint," his object being, of
course, to make quite sure of him. Mrs. Smithers saw
through this ruse, and would not take the letter. Accord-
ingly, seeing she was determined, Abraham Smith went
away, taking the letter with him. In the meantime Haslam
and Payne had made their way to the Rainbow, where a con-
siderable concourse of persons had assembled. Nearly all the
parties were about and in front of the Rainbow. The house
beginning to get filled rapidly, and by a certain class of per-
sons, Mrs. Smithers, naturally enough, became alarmed,went into
the roam where her husband and Mr. Coppock were engaged,
and begged that gentleman at once to make the best of his
way home. Smithers himself, (the landlord as he had before
said), seeing the class of persons coming into his house and
congregating around, recommended Mr. Coppock to leave it
without delay—taking Twiss's field as the best way for him to
get
on the common, and thence by the public road to Cam-
bridge. Accordingly Mr. Coppock left the house by the back
way, and proceeded by the route which had been pointed out to
him. But no sooner had he got half-way across Twin's field
than it became visible enough to him that he was to be mobbed
and probably most grossly ill-treated. All at once a loud yell
was raised, and he heard the words " There he goes, there he
goes." Lowe and another of the defendants had, when they
entered the Rainbow, called for some beer and were then drink-
ing it, when Smith rushed in and called out " Bill Lowe
you are wanted." They both rushed out in an
instant, and then again a loud shout Ras set np. Hearing the
shout, Mr. Coppock turned round, and saw he was hotly pur-
sued. Now his client was a man whose powers were not to be
despised, and he had no doubt that, against one good, strong
man—fairly man to man—he would give a pretty'good account of
any one who might dare to assail him ; but what was all the
courage aad physical force of an individual when striving against
numbers? In his coat-pocket, however, Mr. Coppock had a
document, which, to the cause he was sent down, as the agent,
to obtain evidence upon, was of the utmost importance—it
was, in fact, the deposition of the very man whose evidence,
above all others, it was Mr. Coppock's duty at that time to get
possession of, and to keep secure. With such a document in
his pocket, Mr, Coppock very properly reflected on the words
of the poet, that " the better part of valour is discretion.", He,
therefore, made for the ditch which separated the field from the
common. He was pursued by the mob ; and Abraham Smith, more
active than the rest, just as Mr. Coppock cleared the ditch,
sprang after him, throwing him down in so doing, and then
jumped upon him. Five or six others, who had rapidly fol-
lowed, were soon upon Mr. Coppock also. They beat him
about, struck him violently, and one of the ruffians tried to
tear off the pockets of his coat, expecting, no doubt, to get
hold of that for which, chiefly, such ruffians had been em-
ployed—the documents he had alluded to. Mr. Coppock made
the best fight he could, and being a man, fortunately, of some
strength, he saved himself from much of the brutal violence
that a weaker man would inevitably have had to undergo. In
ths meantime, those who were the prime movers in this brutal
and blackguard assault of many upon one, but who, with cha-
racteristic cowardice, had taken care to take no active
part in it themselves, had gone round, and, following the
course the field took, soon got round. This was net
the work of more than a minute or two. Southey, Haslam,
and Payne, were the parties who thus ran round. Payne,
however, could not keep his hands off Mr. Coppock. Assailed
as that gentleman was by so many, he not only took part in
mobbing him and shoving him along, but he actually struck
him two or three blows. Southey was also there on horse•
back ; and having, at all events, the, external appearance of a
gentleman, Mr. Coppock made an appeal to him to use his in-
fluence to save him from insult and outrage. He appealed to
Southey, stating the manner in which he had been used, and
would doubtless be used again, unless he got some one to take
his part and stand by him. What was this person's reply ?
Oh, you are a d—d Whig; I wish they had given you ten
times as much, and I hope they will do so." Haslam used lan-
guage to the same effect. However, the scuffle went on—they
mobbing and lugging him on, and using the vilest language to
encourage others to loin in their violence. At last, after making
the best sort of running fight that he could they reached Bruns-
wick-place, where Mr. Coppock knocked at a door which was
most properly instantly, opened to him, and where protection
was accorded and the police sent for. These were the simple
facts of the case. Now, he (Mr. Cockburn) begged to inform
the jury, that he was not instructed to exaggerate this case—
he was not instructed to say that his client had sustained any
serious injury, or injury that might in its results be of any per-
manent inconvenience to him. Nothing of the kind. This,
however, the facts of the case required him to say that Mr.
Coppock had got on the occasion alluded to, what was called at
school "a very sound licking." But it was not that which
Mr. Coppock now cared about, although, of course, neither he
nor any other person liked a beating at the time of receiving
it, especially when it was as unprovoked as it was
cowardly, It was the insult to himself, to society,
to the law, and to the decencies of life which
Mr. Coppock desired to resent, and for which he wished
to make these parties pay. He would put it to the jury if
any one of them was a solicitor or agent, and found himself
called upon to act for a party, and did so without molestation
or offence to any person breathing—if, as he said, in so doing,
one of them found himself hustled, his hat thrust over his
face, his clothes torn, and his person assaulted, by a set of the
lowest fellows in one of the lowest places in England—would
he not seek redress from the laws of his country ? There
would be an end to the security of society, to the transaction
of all business whatsoever, if an individual acting as Mr. Cop-
pock was acting, could not do so without being brutally as-
saulted by a party of ruffians. For every transaction like that
the party aggrieved had a right to expect from British law and
British justice the completest reparation. He should show
them (the jury) who were the actual parties engaged
in this cowardly assault, or who were the disgraceful
instruments to urge them on to it. He would show
further that on the day following this disgraceful transaction
Southey had boasted of it. He (Mr. Cockburn) admitted it
would be of little advantage to get a verdict and damages
against some of the defendants, for they were of that class of
men who, having nothing to lose, cared little what they did,
and he supposed their first effort would be after the trial was
over to get to the Insolvent Court as fast as they could to
pray for relief from penalties which would doubtlessly be
awarded against them. They must however fasten upon one or
two of those who had influenced them, and this he had little doubt
of being able clearly to do. Those were the persons who ought
to be made to pay for thus inciting people to outrage and vio-
lence upon an unoffending man. He was satisfied there
could be but one feeling amongst Englishmen that
outrage and violence must be checked upon what-
ever occasion, or under whatever pretence occurring ;
and that art individual in the quiet and honest pur-
suance of his avocations should not be set upon by a parcel of
ruffians, either to be made a laughing-stock of for the public,
or the victim of private malice or political revenge. What
solicitor, what agent, would undertake any business, if he was
to be subjected in the quiet performance of it to attacks such
as this? No one in that Court, he was sure, would admit there
was, or could be, any justification for such conduct. Haslam,
he understood, was, in his defence, to have the advantage of
that distinguished man the Solicitor-General ; others of the
defendants were to be assisted by the talents of equally distin-
guished Counsel; but he (Mr. Cockburn) did not believe that
any one of them would endeavour for a single instance to justify
the outrage which had been committed, and for which redress
was now sought. They might endeavour to show that there
was not sufficient evidence to link them closely and fully with
the transaction; they might endeavour to show that they were
not legally liable to the consequences of the outrage ; but that
they would attempt any justification of it, not one of them, he
was sure, would dream of for a moment. He repeated he
sought not damages for bodily injuries sustained—he approached
not the jury with any exaggerated statements—but he did ask
for damages for a gross and unprovoked insult and assault, and
to such an amount as would satisfy the justice of the case and
vindicate the supremacy of the law. Whatever those damages
might be, they would never find their way into the pockets of
the plaintiff, but to some other source,—for personal gain was
the last. object of his thoughts in bringing this matter before a
jury. His client brought it wholly from a sense of
duty, and not from personal gain, or with any
feeling whatever of personal vindictiveness. It might be said,
on the other side—why do you bring it to London at all ?—why
do you not leave it to the ordinary tribunals of the district
wherein the outrage occurred ? lie could easily answer that
to the satisfaction of those he had the honour to address. The
fact was, that in all those Parliamentary matters—in all ques-
tions of elections, petitions, and the like, there was a degree
of local prejudice—and it occurred as much on one side as on
the other—which rendered it desirable, in order to get at the
full merits and do substantial justice, that they should be in-
vestigated at a distance from the place where they occurred,
and amongst people who were unbiassed one way or the other.
In that Court personal feelings could not enter into the dis-
cussion of the matter, or far one moment be thought by any
partisan whatever to interfere with the impartial administration
of the laws. The simple question for them (the fury) to de-
cide was this ; had there not been a most unprovoked and vio-
lent assault upon the plaintiff, and, if so, ought not the de-
fendants, if proved guilty of it, to be subjected to exemplary
damages for the part they had taken in it, or the encourage-
ment they had given to it ? With these few remarks, he left
it in the hands of the jury, confident of the issue.
Robert Newberry, examined by Mr. KINGLAXE—I am a
baker at Cambridge. On the 21st of April, about two o'clock,
I went to the Rainbow. I saw Mr. Coppock there, and I be-
lieve he went into the back room. Soon after Mr. Coppock
came, Mr. Southey arrived on horseback. He dismounted,
came into the house, and spoke to Mrs. Smithers. He wanted
to know who was in the back room. She said, a gentleman
taking ale. He said, is Smithers at home ? and she said, No,
he is not at home. He said, I know he is at home ; and he
tried to push his way towards the doer. She went before hire,
saving, You shall not go in there, Sir ; the gentleman is en-
gaged. He then left the house, re-mounted his horse, and
went towards a street known as Albert-street. Before he got
to this street, I saw Mr. Haslam join him. I did not see
where he came from. I saw them both together for some time at
the corner of Albert-street. I should say they were there for full
ten minutes. Mr. Southey was writing something on a piece
of paper. Southey and Mr. Haslam then left Albert-street,
and went past the Rainbow, towards Cambridge, to a private
house, of a person of the name of Payne. Haslam went into
Payne. Southey came back from Payne's, after Haslam had
gone in, and went again into the Rainbow. He inquired of
Mrs. Smithers again who was in the room, and again she refused
to tell. Then he left the Rainbow. A person of the name of
Abraham Smith then came into the Rainbow. This was two
or three minutes after Southey left. He asked if Mr. Cop-
pock was there, speaking the name in a curious sort of way,
and she said there was no such person there. He said he had
a letter for Mr. Coppock, and he wanted to see hint very rar-
ticularly, but she still denied that that gentleman was there.
lle then went away, and in a minute or two Henry
Browne and William Lowe came in. The proper de-
finition for William Lowe is one of the Barnwell bullies.
Lowe is the same. They called for two glasses of ale. One
of them asked how things were going one. I said I did not
know what they meant. They said with regard to politics.
I said I thought all that was at an end now. Lowe said,
" Your hair stands on end, as if you were frightened." 1
said I saw nothing to be frightened at. Browne and Lowe
said, " If you see nothing to be frightened at now, you will
soon." The ale was brought, each sipped, and some one
outside called " Bill Lowe," and Lowe and Browne both left
the room. I went out to see what was the matter. I saw
Mr. Coppock close to a ditch in a field, and Smith and
otherp tanning after him. Mr. Coppock was running. He

leaped at the ditch, and A. Smith after him. He got out of
the ditch before Smith could recover himself, and ran across
the common. The other men crossed the ditch and followed
him. I cannot mention who the others were. Browne and
Lowe went down the other way towards Cambridge. I fol-
lowed Lowe and Browne. They went down Brunswick-
walk to Midsummer-common. I saw on the common
Mr. Coppock and several others. I saw Mr. Southey there
on horseback. He said, This is one of these Whig rascals—this
is Coppock. I did not see anything of Haslam after I saw
him in Payne's house. I west past the house, but did not see
any one in it. I saw Haslam standing at the door, watching at
the door, and when he saw me be drew himself in, and so I
dodged him to keep my eye upon him.
Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GrwEitar,--I had no
particular reason for watching Haslam. I watched him be-
cause there was something suspicious about him. My attention
was called to him by an individual in the house. I carry on
the business of a baker in Cambridge. I sometimes take an
active part in the politics of the borough. Eden-street is in
the parish of St. Andrew the Less, which is sometimes called
Barnwell. I was imprisoned for my misfortunes Seven years
ago last Midsummer. I was in prison twelve weeks. It was
for debt. I was discharged under the Insolvent Act. Before
that I carried on the business of a publican. I have also been
a bricklayer and builder. I was standing at the door perhaps
ten tninntes.

Cross-examined by Mr. TITESIGER.—I do not take an active
part in polities. Ido not know what you mean by a passive
part. At times I may take an active part. I did not do so at
the last election. I was not on a Committee, and I did not
fetch up a single voter. I came up with the witnesses at the
time of the petition. I have not the charge of the wit-
nesses is this case. I came up with them. We
are staying at No. 5, Little Smith-street. I cannot
say if we were all there. There were eight or nine
there this morning at breakfast. When I was shepherd to the
witnesses on the election petition, I was employed by Mr.
Gunning, but Mr. Coppock paid me. I received 81. from him
altogether for myself and my expenses, that was all I received
from him. I did not receive a farthing from Mr. Gunning.
Mr. Coppock called in Smith-street this morning; that is the
only time that I have seen Mr. Coppock. He said nothing
to me about the evidence I was to give. He asked me and I
said you will know when I come into Court. I had not told
him what evidence I should give. He had papers with him ;
I did not tell him because he never asked me. He did not go
through the routine of the brief. If I had told him the Court
might have considered there was something wrong in it; that
was the reason. I had been told that if an attorney came to
you and examined you that would make your case null and
void. I did not consider I had any reason to tell him. Mr.
Coppock's clerk took my evidence in Cambridge.. He asked
me in a jocular sort of way, and it was because I thought he
was not serious that I did not answer him.

Price EIGHTPENCE.

By Mr. PLATT—Mr. Kelly's party had colours, but Ido
net think the poor Whigs had any. There were blue and
white favours ; those are the Whig colours. I did not wear
any colours at the last election. We were taken to Little
Sralth-street by the coachman ; we did not pay our carriage
up. I have heard that. Mr. Southey is a surgeon, but do not
know ; I never saw his diploma. I was in town with the
witnesses on the petition for eight days. I had no more than
Si. from the commencement of the election to the present time
from Mr. Coppock or from any one else.
Re-examined by Mr. KINOLAKE—I received no more
money from Mr. Coppock than the 81.
Mary Ann Smithers—l am landlady of the Rainbow. I re.
member the last election for Cambridge. I remember a gen-
tleman coming to my house a month after the election. I un-
derstood it was Mr. Coppock. I saw him this morning. He
came about one o'clock. After he had been there a short time
Mr. Southey came in. He asked who was in the little room. I
said I did not know. There were two gentlemen taking ale.
He went out and returned, and again asked who was there. I
told him some one taking ale, and he could not go there. He
went out again. After Mr. Southey had gone out, Abraham
Smith brought a note directed to Mr. Coppock. I said I did
not know any gentleman of that name. After that W. Lowe
and H. Browne came in and had some ale. They had not time
to drink it before they left. I went once into the room where
Mr. Coppock and my husband were, and told them that the
house was beset. I know Robert Newberry, he was in the
house at the time.
Cross-examined by Mr. T/lESIGER—Mr. Coppock was not
at the Rainbow more than two hours.
Mr. THESIGEA—Is the man Smithers whom you have called
your husband really your husband ? Witness—l have gone by
the name of Smithers some time. Ihavelived with him 15 years.
Mr. TIIESIGER—Do you not know that he has a wife and
children living. Witness—He has children, but the mother of
them is dead. I have lived with him fifteen years, and he has
always behaved well to me as a husband. Ido not know if he
has a wife living ; I never saw her. I did not read the direc-
tion of the letter Smith brought. I did not know the gentle-
man's name was Coppock until about five in the afternoon.
He had been gone a long time when I heard his name for the
first time. I have been stopping with the other witnesses. I
only saw Mr. Coppock this morning.
By Mr. PLATT—There was a gentleman with Mr. Coppock
this morning. I do not recollect seeing him yesterday. I
sometimes take in lodges s. They stay until they want to go.
Re.examined by Mr. COCKBURN—My husband keeps a
public-house, and has a license—we pay for it dearly.
John Finer examined by Mr. COCKBURN—I am a student.
On the 21st of April I was passing the Newmarket-road. I
saw Mr. Coppock running across a field at the back of the
Rainbow. There is a ditch which separates it from Mid-
summer-common. Smith come out of the Rainbow and
went towards the fence. I afterwards saw three or four
persons in the close. I saw Payne and Newberry
in front of the Rainbow. There were numbers of per-
sons standing there. I heard Smith, the gipsy, say to Payne,
Is this Twist's field ? Payne said, Yes it is ; go it, my boys, I
will keep you harmless. They then clambered over into the
field, and ran after Mr. Coppock. I don't know if they over-
took him. I went down to Brunswick-walk. It is about one
hundred and fifty yards from the common. Smith's brother
ran in that direction. I saw Tuck and Payne. I went to a
house in Brunswick-walk, and I saw Mr. Coppock turning
round by a brick wall. His pursuers overtook him, and one
of them struck him on the hat. They called him obscene
names. Smith struck him on the hat. I saw two persons on
horseback, but did not see who they were. They all seemed
very infuriated against Mr. Coppock. I opened the gate, and
let Mr. Coppock into one of the houses in Brunswick-walk.
Cross-examined by Mr. THESIG ER—I am not a member of
the University. I live at home with my parents, and can study
there. My father has houses in Barnwell. l knew Mr. Payne
before ; he is an old man. I know a person named Jarman.
I did not see him there. I will swear that it was not Jarman
who struck Mr. Coppock on the hat. He did riot " bonnet"
him, he crowned him ; he hatted him.
Re-examined—I have nothing to do with the management of
my father's proporty.
Alfred E. Tuck—l saw Lowe, the two Smiths,;Mr. Payne,
and Mr. Coppock, in front of the Rainbow, on the day in ques-
tion. Mr. Coppock was against the door of the Rainbow. He
went into the house. I saw him run across the close, and
Abraham Smith chasing him. I ran round to meet them ;
when I got to the corner. I saw the two Smiths, Payne, Mr.
Coppock, and Mr. Southey. Abraham Smith knocked Mr.
Coppock's hat flat on his head. Haslam, Smith, Paine,
Southey, and Lowe, were present. Lowe pushed him about.
Mr. Southey was on horseback. Mr. Coppock said to him,
" I appeal to you as a gentleman—is this manly conduct towards
me ?" Mr. Southey said, "lam very glad of it, for now I know
who you are. I have seen you sneaking about several times,
but never knew you." Payne called him a sneaking rascal, and
said, " You have offered 1001. for anyone to tell, have you not?"
Abraham Smith had hold of the skirt of his coat. Browne
was on the common. Mr. Coppock snatched away from Smith,
sad ran into a house which was close by.
Cross-examined by Mr. TnESIGER—I was bred a jonrneyman
tailor, but have given it up. lam now under instructions at
the National School to be a schoolmaster. Mr. Coppock ran
across Twiss's-close, and Abraham Smith followed him. I saw
Mr. Coppock jump over the ditch. I think that Browne ran
round. I saw him there. I saw Mr. Coppock this morning.
I told him what I saw first, 'and then he read it over after-
wards. He read what had been taken down before. Mr. Cop-
pock and Mr. Cooper's clerk were there.
Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT—I had given my evidence
some time ago at Cambridge to Mr. Cooper's clerk. I know
a person named Binder. I first saw Mr. Southey when they
knocked Mr. Coppock's hat over his eyes.
John Pulmar—l am a surveyor. I made the plan produced.
(The witness then explained the relative situations, with plan
of the Rainbow, the close, and the place where the assault had
been committed.)
Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT—I have a vote for Cam-
bridge. I have voted on both sides. At the last election I
voted for Mr. Foster. Ido not know Mr. Coppock. I have
not yet been paid my expenses, or made any bargain about
them.

This cause was on the special jury list. On the names of
the jury being called, only three answered. Lord Denman
directed that all those who had not answered should be tined,
with the exception of Viscount Grimstorie, whom he excused,
on the ground that he had Parliamentary duties to discharge,
as a Member of the House of Commons. The common jury
list was then called over, and only one person answered to his
name, who was directed to enter the jury box. His Lordship
then sent into the Court of Exchequer to borrow eight jury-
men, which loan, after some delay was granted, and a jury thus
completed. Some little doubt was expressed by counsel as to
the validity of a verdict, in a special jury case, given by a jury
thus peculiarly summoned and constituted; but the Lord Chief
Justice at once overruled it, and ordered the case to proceed.
The Counsel for the plaintiff were Mr. Cockburn, Mr.
Kinglake, and Mr. Bircham ; and for the several defendants,
six in number, Sir William Follett, Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Platt,
Mr. Wordsworth, Mr. B. Andrews, and Mr. Naylor.
The witnesses, on both sides, having been ordered out of
Court, Mr. Bieenam said the declaration charged that, on
the 22d of April, 1843, the defendants, George Haslam,
Richard Southey, John Smith, Abraham Smith, John Payne,
William Lowe, and Henry Browne, at a place called Barnwell,
near to Cambridge, did, with force of arms, fee., beat, bruise,
wound, Sze., the plaintiff, James Coppock ; to which charge
the defendants had severally pleaded not guilty.
Mr. COCKBURN, in stating the case, said the plaintiff was
a gentleman of the name of Coppock, who complained
of a grcss and cowardly assault and ill usage,
for which he now sought to recover compensation and
damages by their verdict. Ho was a gentleman who had long
been most respectably known in this metropolis as a solicitor and
Parliamentary agent. The defendants, he was instructed, were
of various callings and situations in life. The defendant, Mr.
Southey, practised as a surgeon at Cambridge ; Haslam was
formerly a butler for many years in a gentleman's fa-
mily ; but had since retired from that occupation ; and
Payne;had, for twenty five
Tears, been under-gaoler, or gaoler,
he knew not which, but had been dismissed from that employ-
ment. The other defendants, John Smith, Abraham Smith,
Lowe, and Browne, were living
at a place very well known by
its character to all persons who had lived at, or were in the
habit of frequently visiting, Cambridge. He alluded to Barn-
well, a place not very far distant from Cambridge, and which
though doubtless, containing some highly respectable inhabi-
tants was equally, if not :more, remarkable for the number
of its low ones. John Smith was known as a gipsy,
and was in the habit of attending fairs ; Lowe
was an assistant to his father, who followed the occupation of
a nightman ; Brown was one of those called a gentleman at
large, and lived in this far-famed Barnwell. The circumstances
of the assault for which reparation was sought at their hands
were briefly these :—Mr. Coppock, as he had before stated,
was a Parliamenta-y agent. In the session of last year there
was a vacancy in the representation for Cambridge, and a dis-
tinguished member of the bar was proposed by a certain por-
tion of the constituency as their candidate, and was returned.
On the 51h of April a petition questioning the propriety and
validity of this return of this Hon. and Learned Gentleman—
he alluded to his friend Mr. Fitzroy Kelly—and seeking to
have it avoided, was presented to the House of Commons.
That petition was ordered by the House to be taken into consi-
deration on the 15th May. After the presentation of this petition
the plaintiff, M
Mr. Coppock, was
appointed agent on the part of
the petitioners, to support the allegations in that petition, and
wrench the sept from the sitting Member, Mr. Kelly. The
jury, he presumed, were aware that the duties of an agent in
conducting these matters were of a very anxious and responsible
character, requiring great discrimination, perseverance, and
judgment. Mr. Coppock, in this capacity, had to sift out
and prepare the necessary evidence in order that when the case
,
had to be taken into consideration, counsel might be duly pre-
pared to go into the merits, and, if proper to be done, carry
out the object for which the petition eas presented. To this
end, it became his duty to go down to Cambridge and get up
the evidence in the case. In discharge of that duty, on the sth
of April, in the last year, he proceeded to Cambridge, tak'ng
up his quarters at. the
Hoop Inn, and quietly proceeding with
his affairs. When there, of course, he had various per-
sons to see, in order to take down their evidence, that
it might be submitted to counsel for their opinion. Mr.
Coppock's presence was necessarily very well known in Cam-
bridge, as were the objects for which he arrived there. On
reaching Cambridge he had, with a most proper and courteous
spirit, put himself in communication with MraHaneock, the
Tory agent, in order that, while each conducted his own case
as he thought best for the interest of his party, yet that every
thing should be done with propriety and a total absence of dis-
courtesy on both sides. The news of Mr. Coppock'sarr
ival
of course spread like wildfire. He believed he (Nlr • Cockburn)s
did not say too much when he asserted that all his movements
were carefully watched—he was dodged everywhere. The
excitement of the recent election, which had scarcely begun to
die away, was increased, if possible, as soon as it was known
that his client had arrived. Ile remained there several das a, and
,
no secret being made of the object of his visit—and why should
there be—every one was cognizant of his presence. 'During
his inquiries in Cambridge it came to Mr. Coppock's ears, that
he might perhaps gain some information most useful to his
purpose from a Mr. Smithers, who kept a public house.in the
immediate vicinity of Barnwell. He would submit to them a
plan of this place and the localities surrounding it, the better
that they =gilt understand the case he had to lay before them.
If any of them recollected Cambridge, they would know that
the road from Cambridge to Barnwell passed along Midsum-
mer Common, near to Jesus College, and se on to the Maid's
Causeway. The Rainbow, the name of the public-house kept
by Mr. Smithers, was at the corner of a street which was, in
fact, a sort of adjunct to this common. On Friday, the 21st of
April, at about the hour of one o'clock, Mr. Coppock started
from Gambridge by himself, and of course suite
openly, to go to the house of Mr. Smithers. low,
the chief allegations in the petition presented to the House of
Commons against the return of Mr. Kelly were for bribery
and treating; and amongst them was a charge that Smithers
himself had received a bribe, and that Southey was the person
who gave it to him. Mr. Coppo.ck. having reached the Rain-
bow at Barnwell saw Mr. Smithers, to whom he communi-
cated his business, and they retired to a private room to talk
it over. Shortly after they had entered this room, Southey,
one of the defendants, entered the Rainbow, and saw Mrs.
Smithers and asked if Smithers Was at home. She
denied that he was at home. Southey said he was
sure he was at home, and that he had gone into the
back room with another party. She again denied it. He
then wanted to go into the back room but she refused him,
and when he tried to do so, Mrs. Smithers resisted him. His
horse was at the door. He got upon it and went from the
house towards a street immediately in the neigh-
bourhood, called Albert-street, where he fell in with llaslam,
whether accidentally or not, lie (Mr. Cockburn) would not
then give an opinion. He however should show them there,
by his witnesses, in close and earnest conversation. Southey,
Whilst talking with Haslam, took out a piece of paper and
wrote upon it, and this circumstance, coupled with another
fact which would hereafter (tome out, they (the jury)
would
find to be of great importance in the case. This done,
Southey on horseback, and Haslam on foot, went down to
No. 30, Maid's Cause Nay, which was the house kept by an •
after staying a few
other of the defendants, Payne. Southey,
minutes, quitted the house, leaving Haslam there;
but
before he left, a person named Hopkins passed, and saw
him at the door, Hopkins, it would appear, wanted
a certificate as to the state of his health from
Mr• Southey, who was at that time the medical officer
to Cambridge and its district, orut as soon as that some portion thereof.
a He asked Southey for this certificate, h
person heard what he required, he told him he could not attend
to him then upon that subject, but that he must go and find
Lowe (another of the defendants), and tell him that lie
( Southey) "wanted him, that lie must come there directly,
bringing others of their party with him, as there was a person
there he wished to be watched. Southey, having done this,
left Haslam, and went back to a street which, though not im-
mediately fronting the Rainbow, still was so situated as to allow
him ample
ameans of observing the ingress and egress
of every one. Jay that time those persons _of a lower class,

John Haines—l remember 21st April. I was turning a
fence belonging to Jesus College close upon the common. 1
saw Mr. Coppock on the common. John Lowe, John Smith,
ang Abraham Smith, were about him. The men were kicking
at Mr. Coppock, and hitting him, and knocking his hat over
Ins race. He kept running about to get away from them. He
tried to get into 111 r. Naylor's house, but he was not admitted,
and then he got into the next house, belonging to Mrs. Tweed.
William Lowe said, Hit the —, and kill him. The con-
duct of the men was very violent. They kept kicking and

The various positions of lover, husband, and parent, the
inherent privileges of mankind. are frequently marred and pre_
vented through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions.
To such, among others, this essay addresses itself; and by its
perusal many questions may be satisfactorily adjusted that ad-
mit of no appeal even to the most confidential friend."--Stafford
Gazette.

" The design of this work will be tolerably obvious from its
title, and we cordially recommend the author and his book to
all who are suffering from nervous debility and general weak-
ness.'--Wakefield Journal.

RobeCea Tweed—l live in Brunswick-walk, Cambridge. On
Friday, April 20, I was called down stairs, and found Payne
and Smith, and several others, outside my house. Mr. Cop-
pock was in the passage. He asked to be let in. He was let
in, and the others were kept out. Payne said, " Goand give her
100/. " Saw two gentlemen on horseback on the common. One
was Mr. Southey. I sent for the police. Mr. Coppock sent
for a fly and went away.
By one of the Jury—l saw no marks of violence on Mr.
Coppock's person.
Cross-examined by Mr. WOADSWORTH—Payrie is an old
man, but not infirm. I saw him, a little while ago, here,
walking about.
Susan King—l am servant to the last witness. I was stand-
ing at the door, on the 21st of April, at about three o'clock.
I saw Mr. Coppock come round the wall by Brunswick-walk.
There were several other persons, among them Payne and Smith.
They were walking fast, and I saw Smith strike Mr. Coppock.
I saw Mr. Payne strike him, and heard him call him a villain.
Payne caught hold of Mr. Coppock's hand, and tried to pull
him out, and when he found he could not do so, be pushed
him forward, and said, " Go in, and give her 1001. to forswear
herself." When he came into the house Mr. Coppock was
exhausted. His coat was torn, and his hat beat and bent
about. I went and fetched the police.
Cross-examined by Mr. WORDSWORTU—I did not see any-
thing that took place beyond the wall. I saw Mr. Southey
come round the wall.
