HIGHWAY ROBBERY.-k singular robbery
was perpetrated at Drayton lately. Mr. Enoch Jackson, a
farmer's son, residing at Hinstock, Salop, was assaulted by
two men, who rifled-his pockets, and finding only Is. fid:
therein, they stripped the victim utterly naked, and took
away every article of clothing. On ThurSday Joseph Eli-
zard was committed to gaol on suspicion of being one of
the robbers. The other man is not yet apprehended.__

The body of a carter belonging to Calton,
who was carried down the Clyde with his horse and cart
about six weeks ago was found on Thursday ma the
bank, below Belvidere house. His father never got up hie
spirits after the loss of his son, and died last week ; the
circumstance of the body not being found pressed heavily
upon the mind of the old man. It is not a little re-
markable that on the same day last year, and at the same
hour, the body of a man who had been drowned was found
at the precise spot,--Glasgow Free P►ess.

MIDDLESEX 'SESSIONS, DEC. 1.

CONSPIRACY AND FRAVD.

;mum Spencer Northliouse and William Low
were indicted for- haVing, on the 31st of December,
unlawfully obtained by false pretences, from one
illiam Baldey two bills of exchange, value 50/.,
and money to the amount of 4,W.,lyith intent to de-
fraud him of the same. ,
The indictment, which was very long,' contained
various counts, stating the false pretences to have
been the representing that they. were about to esta-
-blish a' newspaper, to be called, the London Free
Pre4s, in which Joseph Hume, Esq., m.p.,
and Colonel Leslie Groves joneS; had each consented'
to take five shares'of-iOO/. each, and to become part-
ners : that several other personshad purchased,—
that one of the objects of the newSpaVer was to be the
advocacy of popular' pinions---and that it was sure
to aitswer, as in the event,,of any difficulty,- Mr.
Flame would bear the other shareholders harmless.
The -witnesses on both sides were ordered out of.
Court.

Mr. BRODERICK stated
.the case for the prosecu-
tion. -The 'present ease, he observed, was one of a
description very common in these days, in which
artful and designing men, were constantly inventing
schemes to plunder th&se Who were less artful than
themselves. The defendant Northhouse had been
some time connected. with newspapers, but was at
present a prisoner fin. debt in the King's Bench pri-
son. Some time since he entered into a speculation
to establish a new newspaper, to he.called the Lon-
don Free Press. Whether the -idea originated with
him or with other persons of greater note, was not
then the subject of inquiry. Northhouse, it was ar-
ranged, ivas to be the editor, and Low, one of the
ostensible proprietor,s. - At the time, Northhouse
was a lodger in the 'prosecutor's house, and showed
hirna prospectus.of the new paper; and after mak-
ing the -false representations stated in the indict-
ment, persuaded him and his wife to purchase, the
former a 1(10/. and the latter a 50/. share. Mr.
Italdey, in making the venture, was principally in-
fluenced by the-character he had heard of Mr. Hume,
who he considered' to be a cautious man, particularly
in money matterstrin economist in every sense of
the word, and.oue riot likely to engage in a specula-
tion that would 'turn out unprofitably. -It was not
till a long while afterwards that. he.was - undeceived,
and immediately he. commenced the present proceed-
ings. The Learned Counsel, after reading and corn-
meriting' upon the documentary evidence which he
afterward's put in 'proof, called the following wit-
nesses .

. . .
Mr. William Biddey examined---Is a linen-draper,
carrying- on. business in Great Russell-street,- Co-
vent-gltden, and is acquainted with the-defendants.
On the 31at January, 1827, Mr. NOrthhouse intro-
duced . Mr. Low to him, as a person who had for-
merly lived as Secretary to Mi. Hume, M.P., and
had a 5004 share in a paper about to be established,
and to.becalled-the London Free Presi. Mr. North-
. house added, that to oblige him Mr. Low would let
him have a part of his share if he wished it. Mrs.
Baldey was present, and in reply. said," Pray, who
I are the persons at the head of the concern ?" Mr.
..Northhouse answered that Mr. Herne, M.P., hail a
510/. share, and. also a 100/. share in the name of
his Secretary, .31r. Wier, and that colonel Jones had
a 500/. share, End WuS alOo treasurer. Mr. Low
confirmed this, and added," We already have 1,5001.
in hand." - WitheaS said he Was a young man in
business, and he hoped what they stated was true.
Mr. Northhouse replied, and assured .hitif it was
true,- and upon .this assurance he -consented, to" take a
1001. share, for which he-then gave two bills of. 501.
each. - One of these bills he had since taken up.-
11e was a great loser by the transaction.- -After wit-
ness had agreed-to take a 100/. share, Mrs. Baldey
expressed a desire to. have a 501. share as her own
venture, and Mr.. Low consented to accommodateher, and • a cheque for 40/. was immediately paid
over to. the defendants, with 51. in ,Money; for this
share. The papers produced, purporting-to be •trans-
Ters of the shares, were drawn by Low at the dicta-
tion of Northhouse. .

They ran .as follows; with ..the. exception of the
alteration in the amount, and the description of the.
mode of payment
• " Mr. William Baldey has this day-paid me, in two bills
of exchange, one hundred pounds, as a payment of une•fifth
of one-third 'share of the property, proceeds, and profits of
the London Free Press newspaper, and which is the full
and only sum to he paid, and no further claim to be made.
(Signed) - " WM. LOW,
"London, Jas. 31, 1827. 3, Red LiOncotirt, Fleet-et."
Examination resumed.—The conversation lasted
an hour. Mr. Northhouse.said that he had-been sent
for from Glasgow to vindicate Mr. Hume from the
attacks then being made on him in the Thnea news-
paper for his conduct • in respect of the Greek loan.
That Mr. Hume, to whom he was previously known,
had sent for him, and that the articles on the subject
which had appeared in the Morning Chronicle were
his writing. Upon one occasion Northhouse told
witness -that Mr. HuMe- had got. the names of -1.5
gentlemen in his Meek pocketbook for -.shares of
100/. each. 'Witness believed what he said. He was,
present whni Mr. Northhouse gave' evidence in a
case in the King's Bench, in which Colonel Jones
sought to recover .50/. from witness • on one of the
acceptances he had given in part payment for his
share, and heard Northhouse swear that neither Mr.
Hume nor Colonel Jones were shareholders at the
time he Made his purchase. Up to that-time he be-
lieved the contrary, and had subpcenaed Mr. North-
house as his witness on that ground, thinking that
by Mr. Northiimises testimony he should secure a
verdict. On finding he had been deceived, he im-
mediately commenced proceedings against Mr. North-
house and Mr. Low for a conspiracy and fraud. Wit-
ness was induced to part with his money I.iy the re-
presentation that Mr. Hume and Colonel Jones were
partners in the concern. He was further impressed
with a belief that this was the truth, from the fact
that Colonel Jones often called at his (witness's)
house to see Mr. Nerthhouse.

Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY—Upon his solemn
oath he had not been told, previous to purchasing
the shares, that Colonel Jones and Mr. latune -had
withdrawn, as they wished to give their support to
another Sunday newspaper. The name of the
Exaniiner was not mentioned to him. He knows

menced to be- published in February; 1827, and was
continued till the month of July. Mr, I

and Low. One of the 50!. bills he gave found its

it was due, consented to renew it ; but on its again
