A BENEVOLENT INFORMER.

Ut.III.DHALL.----Yesterday Edward Kennedy, a
labonrer, was charged before Alderman SCHOLEY,
by a Mr. Campbell, a Gentleman of fortune, with
wheeling a barrow upon 'the pavement. It- ep-
penrs•that this Gentleman is rigid in enforcing the
late Act of Parliament for clearing the streets of
many incumbrances ; end his anxious wish was,
that the law should In all cases be impartially admi.
nistered ; that he had taken a great deal of pains to
oblige constables, beadles, and street-keepers,todo
their duty, which he said was very pt ially done
in many streets ; the present defendant. be was
told was the servant of a Deputy of Cripplegate
Ward, and as such he thought him a proper ob-
ject to bring forward. The man confessed his
fault, and pleaded ignorance of the law, an't
poverty, baying a' wife and several children ; the
Magistrate, with great humanity, wished to for-
give him the penalty. Mr. Campbell expostulated
upon the impropriety of his lenity, and doubted
how far he could do when the City Solicitor
was sent for, and clauses of the new Act were
read, which enacted a penalty of not less than
405., nor more than 31: fdr this offence. The de-
fendant was sent for again, and from the evidence
of Mr. Campbell, as well as the Officer, the Ma.
gistrate was under the necessity cof convicting him
in the penalty of 40s. which fine, according to the
Act, is to be levied upon property ; it not, the
offending party to he sent to prison for a certain
time. This poor. man not having wherewith to
pay the fine, Mr. Campbell generously gave hint
the 40s.and at the same time advised hint not to pay
the money, but suffer himself to go to prison, when
the discretion of the Magistrate could lessen his
imprisonment to one :day.—However, the me.n

on their reSpeetive Inerits.
in our last Review of this Poem, we gave to
our Readets a large extract frCui. the beginning of
the Ninth Book; and stated that we should make
our next citation from that part of the affecting
Episode of NiStiS and EURYALUS, in which the
fatal tertdnatiou of the night adventure of these
illustrious friends is most pathetically narrated,—
They. had forced their way tlirough the unguarded
camp tit the enemy,. when the shining Ii :.,net of
Eu KYALUS discovered theft to VoLSCEgs, the leader
of a troop of nutilian horse, which had issued
from the city to join the fOrces of Tutztlus. 9,r
extract will begin at 1. 367- of the original " In-
terco prcemissi equites cx orbe Latino," ?se.
But far they had not pass'd before they spied.
Three hundred home, with Vot.SCEss for their guide.
The Queen .a legion to King Tutrens sent;
Tut the swift horse the slower foot'prevent;
And now, advancing, sought the Leader's tent.
They saw the pair; for, through the doubtful shade,
Ills shining helm EuttvaLusThetra'y'd, •

" 'Tis not.for.nought," cried VoI.SCENS from the crowd,
" These men go there"; then raised his voice aloud;
" Stand! stand ! why thus in arms, and whither bent?
From whence; to whom ? and on what errand sent ?"
Silent they scud away, and haste their Hight
•To neighb'ring woods, and trust themselves to night.
The speedy horse all passages belay,
Arid spur their smoking Steeds to cross their way;
And watch each entrance of the winding wood. -
Black was the forest; thick with he'ech it stood :
-:Horrid -with fern and intricate with thorn:
Few paths of human feet or tracks of beasts were worn.
The darkness of the shades, his heavy prey

,But Nrsus hit the turns with happier haste; -
And, thoughtless Of his friend. the forest pass'd,
And Alban plains, from AtaA's name so call'd;
Where King Larixus then his oxen stall'el.

And rniss'd his friend., and cast his eyes around .

The unhappy youth ? wheze shall I hope to find?

And treads the-mazes of his former track.

. What should he next attempt ? what arms employ?
What fruitless force to free the captive boy?
Or, desperate, should he rush and lose his life,
odds oppress'd, in such unequal strife?
Resolved at length, his pointed spear he took;
And casting on the moon a moproful look,
" Guardian of Groves, and Goddess of the Night! _
Fair Queen !" be said, " direct my dart aright!

Did grateful offerings on thy altars make; .

His only crime (if friendship can offend)

Too late he speaks; the swot d which fury guides
Driven with full force and pierced his tender sides;
Down fell the beauteous youth: the yawning wound
Gush'd out a purple stream, and stain'd the ground;
His snowy neck reclines upon his breast;
Like a fair dower by the keen share oppress'd
Like a white poppy sinking on the
Whose heavy bead is overcharged with rain.

Ile spolte, and with his full exertion threw
The spear, which singing- through the darkness Sew;
And striking Sut:mo, as averse he stood,
Drove through his hack, and deeply drank his blood.
The shivering wood snapt shdrt ; but charged with death.
The blade held on and pierced the lobes of breath.
Falling his breast effused life's tepid tide ;
And, cheak'd with gore, his lungs convulsive sigh'd.
All gaze around; and, while aghast they stand,
Aunt her javelin flies from Nl3Ui' hand.
TArais.it meets; and, severing the brain
Through either temple, lays bins on the plain.
Infuriate VoLscmcs throws his glance around,
Vainly, to find the hand that helmeted the wound :
Nor sees on wham to pour his boiling rage :

Ana one fir both atone he fiercely cries,
Unsheaths his sword, and at his captive flies.
Then :szst.rs, first alarned and wild with fright,
Unable to sustain the rending sight,
Bursts from his ambush and exclaims aloud
" Me ! tee ! Itutilians ! see me here avvw'd !
By all yon conscious stars and Heaven 1 swear,
His hand and spirit were too young to dare.
The fraud was mine: on the your fury bend.—
lie only loved too much his hapless ft lend."
Frantic he spoke, hut, driven with force, the sword
Through the burst ribs the snowy bosom gored,
Fallen is EtIRYALU3; and o'er his limbs,
By beauty polisled, death in crimson
His bedd, collapsing, sinks upon his breast;
Like some rich flower, in Nature's purple drtst,
That,.seyer'd by the cruel ploughshare, lies
In runi'd loveliness, and fading dies ;
()r a bright poppy, that with eatiquisled power,
Feels its bell loaded by the rushing shower,
And droops with languid neck. But Nis glows
With 'Scorn of life, and springs atuid the foes.
To VoLseess only through the press he breaks;
Voi.smss alone his vengeful object makes;
The hosts throng round him with condensinr, force;
And here and there the blows confound his course,
Still he bears on, and whirls his flaming sword;
Till in tits mouth 01 the Rutilian lord,
Loud clamoring for aid, the steel he drives;
And, dying, his detested foe survives. •
Then on his breathless friend his limbs he throw.,
Mangled with wounds, and sinks in sweet repose.

next day, then Figain said, " Tic cruel
man that shot me never called to me, nor dial
see hin) until atter I fell." The deceased was
not deaf ; he was remarkably quick of hearing.
John (Ink, nightman, No. 4, London-street,
Londun-road, had been for 20 years in the employ
ct the above witness. lie corroborated the evi-
denCe if Sams.

'funnel. Worsfield, Esq. of Newington Blatt,
was acqUainted with the deceased, and was in-
formed of Ids being shot, by his wife, ou Thurs-
day morning, and at her request he visited him
in Guy's Hospital.; when he went tip to the bed
of rhe deceased, he pia out his hand and said,
" God bless you, Sir, 1 shall not live till iilmning.'!
Ile said to the deceased, " Then, under such eir-
CninStanCei, I am sure you will speak the truth."
Ile asked him if he had any improper intention in
going into tire rope grounds of 'Jr. Eleanor, and
whether
.the patrole shot him before he called to
him. The de-ceased replied, 4f. My dear Sir, I had
no improper motives in going into the grotind ; I
never saw nor heard the patrole speak until after
he shot me." Foie took his leave of the deceased,
and told him that he hoped he would be better
'next day, and he would call and see him. • The
deceased said, '' No, no, my dear Sir, I shall not
live till morning."
.'Thomas Tester, bricklayer, lives next door to
the, Hand and Maryguki ; lie has a view of the
rope grounds out of wihdow ; the ground is
about 30 yards from his house ; he was awake in.
bed about two o'clock on Thursday morning, and
heard a voice call stop, three times ; as soon as he
zalled stop the second time, he awoke a young
man named Wood, his bedfellow. About five
minutes after the person called stop the third time,.
he heard a pistOl go off, and heard the noise of
the shots, and a roan groaning. A person, who
he supposed was the patrole, said, Why lid 1:10t
you answer me when I called td you ? No answer
was given.

William Wood, painter, lives With the last wit-
ness; he slept with hi,-on the night the man was
shot, and war awoke by him between two and
three o'clock
, on Thursday morning; he beard
some one call slop, once, and in about a minute
alter a pistol was fired; lie heard a mail groan.ini-
mediately after. He went to the window, and
heard some men at work at the privy, and one
voice said, " 1 advised him not to remain any
longer in the garden ; there. is nothing he could
get but a few French beans 1 told him." He
was positive he beard the words:

Mrs. Hannah Wainscot lives in Evan's-place,
which is .at the front of the rope grounds ; she
was awoke about. 12 o'clock by some persons talk-
ing load, as if they were TiarrOiing.. One voice
said, " What do you do there," and immediately
a piece was fired off, and a man groaned, who was
afterwards carried to the Watch-house.
Mr.• William Humble, surgeon, said the de-
ceased had nineteen shots in h is back, between the
shoulder and the bottom of his hack ; one shot
had entered his right arm, and another his head.
The deceased lingered in great agony till. bal past
twelve on Saturday morning. The cause of his
death was from one.of .the shots having entered
the kidnies, and another shot having carried
away a splinter of • one of his ribs, and injured a
vital part. There was a great quantity-of blood
in the abdomen.

The Coroner said, their first duty was to pre-
sent what was the cause of the death of the de,
ceased ; that they would find no difficulty in doii)g..
It was also proved,that Peter Harvey was the man
that shot the deceased. The Jury, then, had only
to find whether Peter Harvey had been guilty of
an offence against law, or whether he was justi-
.fiahle in committing the act be had done. If the
Jury thought the patrole wantonly shot the de-
ceased, without exerting himself at all to take
(and he thought there was little evidence of his
using much exertion) him into custody, .they
would,
,fitid a verdict of, " Murder." If
they thought he used sonic exertion, that- is, if
the patrole slruggled with the decease:l, and then
shot bibs, they might find a verdict of" Mats-
slaughter" with great. propriety; hut if they
thought the patrole used every endeavour to take
the deceased into custody, and that to prevent
his escaping from hint lie shut him, then they
would return a verdict of " justifiable Homicide."
After the evidence was summed up, Mr. Cox,
the apothecary of Guy's Hospital, said he visited
the deceased about three hours before he died,
and he said be was running at the time he was
shot.

Mr. Humble, the surgeon, being re-examined,:
corroborated the statement of Mr. Cox.

The Jury then retired Km about ten minutes,
and returned a verdict of " Manclanghter."—The
Coroner immediately issued his varrant against
Harvey ; he was in the Jury-room, and w,is
taken into cnsiody by order of the Coroner, and
committed to Newgate.'

A shocking accident. 6cent-red at Isleworth on
Wednesday : Mr. John liciiham, walking in the
garden of his brother. a nurseryman there, trod
On a spring gun, which blew his leg to aeons,,
and in spite of surgical assistance, he died in a
quarter of au how, from loss of blood. 'Vibe de-
ceased said he knew of the gun being loaded, anti
that he bad no one to blame but himself. Corn
tier's verdict, " Accidental death ;" gun forfeiled.
