LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM. '
Under the Patronage of
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF SUSSEX,
THE GOVERNORS respectfully an-
nounce that they have, in conformity with a Reso-

lotion of the QUARTERLY GENERAL MEETING of
DONORS, held on the 4th of JULY last, added the un-
dermentioned Persons to the Committee for receiving
Donations.

The Governors are proud to acknowledge the very great
support the Institution has already received, and particu-
larly from their fellow Tradesmen. lt is their duty, how-
ever, to state that much remains to be done to perfect the
noble work they have bed the happiness to begin. It is
generally known that they purchased freehold lands sotne
time since, and are now erecting 43 houses to form the
centre of the Asylum ; the present funds are considerably
short of the amount necessary to complete that part of the
building, but the confidence of the Governors in the libe-
rality of theit Brethren to enable them not only to meet
that deficiency but to complete the whale superstructure, is
strengthened by what they have already done, and the Go-
vernors being compelled now to make a further call on
them, are assured that in a cause like this, in which every
Licensed Victualler is deeply interested, it will be cheer-
fully attended to, and efeetnally met.
The Governors anticipate, that in October next they
will be prepared to proceed to an Election of proper objects
for the occupation of the houses.

made special. Lord TENTERDEN presides in the
Nisi Prins Court, and Mr: Baron GARROW in the
Crown Court.
The Learned Barons in the course of his address
to the Grand Jurys took occasion to compliment the
county on the liberality they displayed in the erec-
tion of the new Law Courts' which hopronouneed
to-be well adapted for the commodious and satisfae.
tory administration of public justice: He then pro-
ceeded to congratulate them on the state of the
calendar, which, he observed, both in the number
and degree of crime it presented, was far below the
general average for that great county. He was of
opinion that crime, generally, was on a decrease
,throughout the country. '
Ti micas Browii, alias Walters, stood charged with
stealing a gray roan geldings the property of Joseph
Warters, at East Wickham.
Verdict—Guilty. Transported for life.

session. _

Verdict, Guilty.—Sentenced to one year's impri-
sonment, and then to find securities for their good
behaviour for two years.

value of 301.—Verdict, Guilty. . .

Geo. King and Robert Crawley were charged with
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mrs.
Cockerton, at Maidstone,:and stealing therein various
articles, her property.
The prisoners were apprehended on the morning
after the burglary, in a cave on Cobham Common,
with the property in their possession. They were
discovered there fast asleep by a boy who was wan-
dering about the cocoon in search of bird's-nests.
The cave is one of many formed by excavations
made in digging of the fine white sand with which
the common abounds. it was provided with a door,
had an aperture at the top, and appeared meant for
a place of occasional abode, probably by the persons
employed in digging the sand.
Verdict, Guilty.---Judgmetit of death recorded.

NEVTLEFOLD V. SHRUBSOLZ.

The plaintiff is an attorney residing at Faversham,
and brought this action against the defendant, who
is a tradesman in the same place, to recover damages
for an illegal arrest.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, .5/.
DOVEY V. CORNWALL.

This was an action to recover damages for an as-
sault and battery.
The parties, both diminutive, were concerned in
the affairs of two rival Rochester coaches. On the
evening previous to the assault in question, some
dispute had occurred between them, but nu evidence
was given as to its nature or extent. The following
morning the parties accidentally met, when the de-
fendant made an allusion to the transaction of the
previous night ; the plaintiff called him a scamp, and
was immediately knocked down, and complimented
with a pair of black eyes. •
Lord TENTERDEN summed up briefly, and the
Jury, without hesitation, found for the plaintiff:—
Damages, One Farthing.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Auc. V.
JOHNSON V. GRESLEY.
The defendant in this case was Lady G►resley,
and Mrs. Johnson, the landlady of the Hen and
Chickens, the plaintiff. The action was brought for
meat, drink, &e. supplied for a twelvemouth to the
defendant and her servants.
A witness having been called,
Mr. Justice BAYLEY suggested the propriety of a
reference.
Mr. BROUGHAM, upon the part of Lady Gresley,
at first declined; but, upon a short conference, it
was agreed to refer the case to a Gentleman of the
Bar.

DOE, Olt TILE DEMISE OF LUMLEY, V. MELINE.
This was an action of ejectment, brought by
Bartholomew Lumley, as heir at law of his cousin,
Bartholomew Lumley, against a devisee under a
supposed will. The plaintiff having made out his
pedigree as heir at law, the defendant produced the
will, , and called one of the attesting witnesses to
prove. the execution.
After further evidence had been adduced,
Mr. Justice BAYLEY stated, he had no doubt this
execution was bad, and directed the Jury to find for
the heir-at-law against the will, giving Mr. Brougham,
however, leave to move the Court.

AUGUST 8.
John Penwick, a respectable-looking old man, a
watchmaker, was indicted for the murder of his son,
by shooting him.
Jane Jacobson was living at Brinkheugh, as ser-
vant to the prisoner and his son. They both lived
there. It was a farm-house. On the 24th of May,
1828, both father and son were living there. She
took the prisoner his breakfast to his bed-room as
usual. Me appeared very well, and asked if his son
was going to Morpeth. Witness said she did not
know. He asked if he was dressed, and she said
not. He desired her to clean his shoes, as he was
going to Morpeth. A quarter of an hour after the
prisoner came down stairs quite dressed. About
half an hour afterwards the son came in. The
prisoner was in the kitchen, and asked the son
if he was going to Morpetb. He stated he was
not. The son then went out again. The pri-
soner had his coat brushed, and he came into the
kitchen with a gun. He put a round piece of
brass into it ; he turned up the gun and got the
,brass into his hand, and showed it to witness. He.
merely let the brass 'run down again, not using the
ramrod. The witness had before concealed the
gunpowder. He presented the gun at her several
• times. She asked him what he meant. He said he
meant her no harm. Half an hour after the son
came in. The prisoner asked his son for a glass of
spirits. - The son went into the parlour for a key to
obtain the spirits, the father followed him. The de-
ceased called to her and gave her the key to go up
stairs and bring down a bottle of spirits. The pri-
soner had the gun in his hand. Witness walked to
a closet in the parlour to get the spirits, and as she
was coming back she saw the prisoner present the
gun at his son, and it went off. The deceased im-
mediately fell, but jumped up again completely over
a chair, and cried " Lord have mercy upon me, I
am sbot." Witness ran out of the room, followed
by the prisoner, and the deceased came after his fa-
ther. The deceased ran as far as the barn door, and
then fell more than forty yards from the house.
The deceased ordered the witness to send for a
doctor.
Cross-examined by Mr. ARCHBOLD—Withess had
hid the gunpowder three daysbefore, to prevent the
prisoner getting at it,—she expected there was no
powder in the gun. She had no alarm for the son

when it was presented; she had no idea he was go-
ing to shoot. In April he desired her to put oat a
turkey, for it would kill him. She consi-
dered the prisoner insane three weeks before and up
to the time this happened. She hid the powder for
fear the prisoner should do harm to himself. She
once saw him pressing the gun to his neck, it was in
the kitchen.
George Handyside saw the deceased just before
his death. The prisoner said he had shot his lad,
but he had been rim; to shoot a crow With the
gun.
Cross-examined by Mr. CREsaivELL—Prisoner's
grandfather was insane--his father also.
Three medical men stated they had no dotibt of
the insanity of the prisoner. •
Mr: town HuLLocx having summed up the case,
the Jury returned a verdict of Not ()nifty, on the
ground of the prisoner being deranged when ht shot
off the gun.
•

During the trial, the unfortunate man was wander-
ing about the dock, paying little attention to the pro-
ceedings. He was ordered to be detained LI the
Judge, according to the directions of the Act of Pan:
liament.
