We a few days ago stated that a General Court
Martial was assembled at Chelsea College, in order
to investigate charges of peculation preferred against
Captain George H.syter, belonging to the Royal
Corps of Engineers at Wool wick, since which, we
understand that part of the said charges having been
substantiated against him, the Court therefore ad-
judged that he, Captain George Hayter, should be
privately reprimanded.

A disturbance took place in the Western 11.gi-
-ment of Herts Local Militia, at St..Alban's, on Sun-
day last. About 40 of the men, having received li-
quor from some of the inhabitants, assembled in a
riotous, manner, and broke open. the prisJn, where
some of their comrades were confined. A great
number of men instantly flocked to the guard-house,
requesting to have arms, and declaring their resolu-
tion to standby their officers. Arms were, given to
them ; order was immediately restored, and the ring-
leaders apprehended. We are sorry to add, that
some of the populace behaved in a riotous manner
during the time the regiment was assembled at even-
ing parade, and endeavoured to instigate the soldiers
to mutiny and riot, but without elle& The circum-
stance is the more to be regretted, as the regiment
had till that day conduced itself in the most orderty
and soldier •like maver. The temperate, though
firm conduct of the officers upon the occasion, was
eminently conspicuous.
Musle.----The Concert that was to have been
performed at Lady SALTOUN'S, in New Cavendish-
street, Portland-place, for the benefit of Miss DARBY,
was transferred last night to the Hanover-square
Rooms. Miss DARBY, though a juvenile performer,
possesses no inconsiderable merit as a singer, and is
likely to become one of the Chief favourites of the
public. Her manner of singing is simple and in-
teresting. Her voice is extensive, in compass, and
very pleasing in tone ; she does not attempt the
flourishing style, now too prevalent, but seems so-
licitous to touch the feelings.---Her performance
last night was much applauded.—Mrs.
TON, Mrs. VAUGHAN, GOSS, J. B. SALE, and BRA-
HAM, laudably assisted on the occasion. CRAMER
led the band, and Dr. CROTCH powerfully added to
the general treat by a Concerto on the Organ. The
Room was well attended, a circumstance which -we
mention with pleasure, as Miss DARBY is much re-
speEted for her condua in private life
The Drury-lane Theatre Bill, now in the House
of Com Mons, empowers a number of persons to
raise the stun of 300,0001. as. a fund to liquidate to
claims of the creditors on the old concern, and also
to rebuild the Theatre. It is the purport of the Bill
to creel them into a Corporation, but without any
exclusive right ; so that there may be other Theatres
built on the same plan.

A division of the Bologne flotilla, consisting of
one ship, i 6 brigs, and a number of small craft,
came into the roads towards the end of last week.
It was probably for the purpose of gratifying the new
Empress with a naval cibitition. We regret some
of our cruizers were not on that station, to give her
Majesty a specimen of a sea-fight. •
A few days since, Mr. ELPHICK of Friston, and
Mr. HonsoN, of Birling, Sussex, having frequently
missed their poaltry, and entertained a suspicion of
the thieves, made a forcible entry into the den of a
pair of foxes, in the neighbourhood, and-found
therein seven cubs, nearly half grown, together with
an immense quantity of the bones of lambs, turkies,
geese, fowls, &c. and some fragments of wreck
ed beef which had been cast on shore, under the
cliffs of Seaford. The cubs were all killed, acid at
night, a watch was placed near the den, for the de-
struEtion of the old ones, but they were too subtle
to approach the enemy.

The pieces of ordnance, to the number of 64, have,
beer removed from the Tower wharf to Woolwich,
previous to being replaced by new ones; and yes-
terday the guns were fired from the ramparts of the
Tower in commemoration of the Restoration of
King CHARLES the Second ; and all the military and
artificers in the Tower wore oak in their hats.
A person at Canterbury has been for some time
past prophesying the death BUONAPARTE ' • he was
to die on the. i 6th of April ; the 16th of April is
past, and he is still alive. He has oow, according to
this prophet, 96 days added to his life from the 16th
April ; that is be is to live till the Ist of August.
The Lottery Offices are crowded daily.

:LAIP REPORT,

COURT OF KING's BENCH, MAT 24.

ISAAC SIMPK/N, ESQ. V. F. HUNT, ESG;

. ,
Mr. CASBON moved to make the Lune4 ansonitei
directing that the inquisition had in this cause should
be set aside, it having found no damages, and that
the Defendant should pay costs.
Mr. HUNT, the Defendant rose to show cause
against [be Rule. In the course of his speech he
recapitulated the circumstances, of the case. In
October 1808, as he was passing one day, with hiA
dogs along the road that led through the ;Piaiatiff's
ground, observing a dog to point, he followed the
game and shot it. His acquisition happened to be
a fine hare, and he carried it off in triumph. The
gariaekeeper of Mr. Astley, the landlord, was in-
formed of the circumstance, and in the trial which
followed, the Defendant suffered judgment to go
by default. A Jury were summoned to rate the
damages. On their meeting at the Weymouth!.
Arms, Warmstead, in the county of Wilts, the
Defendant addressed them on the quantum of the
damage which had been done. The Jury found that
no damage bad been done to Mr. Simian', and re-
fused to fix any dam ages.
Another Jury were then surnmonec ; they met
at the Town Hall,. in Devizes ; tie defendant• again
pleaded his own cause; and the second Jury retus7
ed to give a verdiCt of damages, where they hal
be(11 told, in the course of the defendant's speech,
that by finding it, when no damage was done, t hey
must •' rjuretheinselves. The Deputy.Stientlter
monstrated, and, threatened to confine fire Jurors
till they brought in a more satisfactory verdict.- The
Jurors. were still obstinate, under the conviction
which the defendant had irnpresseJ upon thenh
No damages could be had;. and in consequence the
Court of King's Bench was applied to, for Elie pur-
pose of ordering a new inquiry.
Mr. HUNT lead several voluminous affidavits, ana
commented on them as he went along with c
detable ease and fluency. lid,coucluded by detlar!
ing that he was perfectly ready to, sudinit to the
award of the Court, but hoped a Deptity Shetiir
would have nothing to do V• oh it, He kuew that the
decisions of the interior Courts might be ove;-iiauleti
by the King's Bench ; and he was convinced that
if one halt dt those decisions were reversed, it would
be for the-good of the country; still he had but one
fear, and the only thing that haunted his imagina!
thou was a Deputy Sheriff in the pomp and pienti-
tude of his Court.

Lord EJ,LENBOROUGIA was perfeelly of opinion that
the Deputy Sheriff had done - nothing but his duty.
The Jury were summoned to fix the damages, and
they would not fix them. The Sheriff had no right
to consider that as a verdia which. Was not one, ei-
ther in spirit or letter. If the defendant had al-
lowed himself to be guided by she reason Of others,
he would have known that the Jury must haVe found
damages, when he had owned his offence by Suffer;.
ing judgment to- go by default. They were preju-
diced by being told that they risked the crime of
perjury by finding the Very verdict which yet they
ought to have found. It was not to be said in law,
that because no actual and rateable damage could be
found, there was no damage done. If th,;,re were
no other, there was a damage to the right. If a
man might walk across,the open field of his neigh-
bour, the damage done might be Mess in value than
any coin of the realm. Yet if there were no da-
mage to be asiumed in this case, he might continue
passing along that ground,
,till cugtom had grown
into a right of thoroughfare. As the costs. on the
first inquisition had not been mentioned, when the
matter was already before the Court, they would
not now be fixed upon the defendant, but he must
be liable to those of the second inquisition; and the
present application.. The defendant should not,
however, be again subjealed to the inquiry before
the Deputy Sheriff. The next should be had before
a Judge of the Court.

THE KING V. RICHARD EARROI.V.

The defendant who was yesterday in Court,- cOn-
vieled of having cruelly treated a little boy whom he
had purchased of a beggar woman in Hounslow,
again appeared in Court,atid it was stated by hiscoun-
cil that he had agreed. to make the following provi.
sion for the child, viz. 201. a year until it was 13 years
old, then to pay an apprentice-fee of 10 guineas, and
to
.deposit immediately 501. to accumulate until tire
boy should be of age.—The Court, in consideration
of this provision being made for the child, sentenced
him only to pay a fine of is.

Edward *Wham Roberts and Robert Brown were
brought into Court, pursuant: to his Lordship's order
of Monday last, to' receive the judgment- of the
Court for having been guilty of various ads of coot

vats, with a view of averting the vengeance 'of the
law; but the Coat -taking into its consideration the
heinousness of the Offences, sentenced Roberts td
