H. JOLIFTE, ESQ. M. P. V. COWLING.

Mr. ALLEY applied to the Court this morning
on behalf of 11. Joliffe, EA., 11. I'. a4ainst
Theobald Cowling, and mnved that he be ob-
liged to give security to keep the peace towards
Blr. Jolifte, who had exhibited articles of the
peace against him. Mr. Alley stated, that the de-
fendant had made it a practice for about 3 years to
follow Mr. Joliffe at different times, and in vari•
ous places, soliciting, or rather demanding, pecu-
niary as,istance. He also wrote several threaten-
ing letters, some of which, particularly the last,
were of a character that would justify an indict-
ment for a capital felony. He (Mr. Alley)
however, confine himself to one particu-
lar circumstance. Mr. Jolifie had sworn, that on
the Gth of October the defendant followed Mr.
Jo!ittu in Jet myn-street, St. James's, and accost-
ed Innt to this effect :—" It is tomtit:lre for you
that I
have not met you at night, or you should
be sorry for it. I tear nothing, and have nothing
to lose. ' 1 tell you. 1 will be a Wllingham to
you." From this, he trubted, the Court would

Alai ttte defendant, or any man who conl.ll
titter such threats, ought not to he allowed to go
unrestrained ; he therefore hoped that be would
be bound over to keep the peace.
The CHAIRMAN observed to the defendant—
" You hear what Mr. Joliffe has sworn against
you ; are you prepared to enter into sureties to
keep the peace /
'[he defendant, who is rather a small and mean-
looking man, had listened very attentively to what
was said. On being thus addressed by the Chair-
man, he took trout under his arm a large bundle
of papers, ‘vlsieli he seemed disposed to read. Ile
then said, Really, Sir, I am at a loss to know
what offence I have committed. I have yet heard
no charge against me. The Chairman repeated
from the sworn articles the principal charge
against him.
The prisoner now prepared to read his defence.
He began to an range his papers with some bustle,
%%ie', Mr. Alley inter fered, and contended that he
had not a right to be heard. If he wished to re-
new any invectives against Mr. Joliffe, the Court
were bound not to hear him. It had been de-
cided ',mg ago in the Court of King's Bench, in
the case of Lady Strathmore, that a person could
not be heard in this manner, when articles of the
peace carte sworn against him, but should be im-
mediately called upon to give proper securities.
The Coot t azented to this opinion, and called
upon time prisoner to find security to keep the peace
tokyfirds Mr. Jnliffe for one year, himself in .501.,
and two sureties in half that sum each ; and or-
dere,' tin, to be elletaincd ...ii•totly until tie could

procure it.
The Pri,•oner—ls it possible, Sir, that I shall
not he heard ?
CuAlltMAN—You are not upon your trial here.
You are only called upon to find securities to keep
the peace, and you must find them before you are
suffered to go at large.
The prisoner stilt repeated his wish to be heard;
he said that he could not call that essential justice,
and protested against the whole proceedings.
CASE OF SWINDLING.

Anthony James Jones was put to the bar, charg-
ed with having, on the 18th of September last,
obtained, nutter false pretences, from Wm. Taylor,
two coats, value 121.; three pair of trowsers,
value 51. ; and one waistcoat, value IL, by falsely
assumiog the name of Carain Thomas Bligh, of
the Coldstream Guards.
The prosecutor, William Taylor, stated, that
be was a tailor by trade, residing in Bury-street,
St. James's. On the 18th of September, prisoner
came to him, and representing himself as Captain
Bligh, of the Coldstream Gnards, said, that he
wanted some clothes to be made immediately.—
Ile added, that he was recommended by another
Officer of the same Regi►nent, whose name he
tm►entioned. Witness replied, that he did tiot
work for any Gentleman of that corps, and was
not acquainted with any of them. Prisoner replied,
it was no matter, he wanted the clothes (black) ire a
hurry, as his mother was dead, anti he would give
ready money for them on delivery. fie also obsers;-
ed, that he was well known to Messrs. Meyer and
Millcr, wh►o were his boot-makers. Witness went
to Meyer and Miller, to enquire respecting Cap-
tain Bigh, lie was there told, that Captain
Bligh was an excellent customer, and a highly
respectable man—that be was the son of
Mrs. Nigh, of Grosvenor-place, and a relative
of Lord Darnley. They also said, that he was a
tall, thin, dark complexioned young man, about ,
30 yeats of age—a description which exactly cor-

responded with the appearance of the prisoner,
who looked what would be called a modern fine
gentleman. The clothes were malt, and sent to
the prisoner's lodgings next morning.
Richard Kerrie! (we thick), the foreman of the

last witness, proved the delivery of the clothes.
He went to No. 41, Bury-street, Saint James's,
and inquired for Captain Bligh. The servant girl,
said he was not then at home. Witness left the
clothes, and called-the next day, when he saw the
pretended Captain, who appeared satisfied with
the clothes, hut did not pay for them. Witness
did Rot bring a bill, nor did he ask for the money.
Sntithers, the officer who apprehended the pri-
soner, said, that he looked atter him fur another
business—for a forgery.
Richard Grego, y knew the prisoner for 5 years.
lie was in the tailoring business with his ~►other.
Prisoner•, on being called on for his defence,
said, in a very cool and collected manlier, "
admit, Sir, that I did go to the prosecutor and
order the clothes. 1 said my name was Bligh,
as I had a particular reason for it, which I shall
explain ; hut I must positively deny that I used
the word Captain,' or mentioned the name of any
regiment. I had the misfortune of having an at-

tach►neut issued against the from th►e Court of
Chancery for 6.0001. F;►r this I was confined for
22 mo►►ths in the King's Bench. I got out at length
by a compromise with the parties, and giving them
a warrant of attorney for 6001. I was afraid at the
time I gave the order to Air. Taylor tbat the war-
rant would have been put into execution against
me. On the evening that the clothes were sent to
me, I thought I perceived a 61)i:riff's officer and
his follower on the look-our for me, and I knew

that if I was arrested I should not be permitted to
go down to ponces; er, iu Yo►kshire, where I have
some property, and where I expected to receive
some money. 1 therefore changed my i►au►e to
avoid pursuit. I was brought into Chancery by
the executors of my father, who charged me with
having got possession of 8,0001. in India bonds,
which, however, they afterwards found was not
the ca,e, and I was suffered to go out of prison.
1 have 3001. a-year by my father's will, but toy
mother has the power of withholding it if she
pleases. It is, however, paid very, regularly.
certainly intended to have paid ready motley for
the clothes, if 11r.Taylor had sent the bill, but he
did nut send it."
The CHAturL summed up the evidence, and
the Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of
Guilty.
The COURT, after a very short deliberation, VD-
tepee(' the prtsonrr to seven years' transportation.
The prisoner lett the bar evidently thunderstrock
at such a defeat to his plans as thesentence imported.
-- Cromwell was 'indicted and found guilty
of a gross assault upon his father. He was sen-
tenced to a year's imprisonment.

GERMAN PA PERS.

YROSINONI, SErr. 13.
(totlimitnicated by a Gertniai Travelle.r.)

I arrived yesterday will some friends in this
town from Tivoli, and found the whole toast
of military detachments. We have visited the
town of &mines, the demolition of which is pro-
ceeding with great speed. It is situated upon a
mountain, and contains 3000 inhabitants. As
soon as a fancily quits its abode, military carpen-
ters pull off the roof, and tl►en the masons de-
molish the walls. The Town-hall will not he
demolished. It will be converted into barracks
for a bligade of carhineers ; in a few weeks the
town will be entirely rated to the ground. The
Government assists the inhabitants as much as
possible in their emigration; all the indigent are
transferred to lime. This expulsion front their
native soil and their paternal roof occasions many
affecting scenes in most of these families.
WAHZBURG, OCT. 13.—Though all is now
tranquil here, and further excesses of tl►e po-
pulace are fully guarded against by tl►e wise mea-
sures of the Government, the Court banker, 111.
Solomon Hersch, will retain only a counting-
house here, and go himself with his family to
Munich, where he has already hired a house. fiis
loss will be severely felt by many poor Christian
students, to whom he gave a weekly allowance,
as well as by many indigent families, whom lie
used to assist in the winter time with fuel, money,
&c.

ocr. .e.---Some persons pretend to know
that Count Month°lon cattle, wiih his wile, from
St. Helena, on hoard the same ship, and that he
is in our neighbourhood. Whether he came in
disguise as a servant, or with or wt•ithout the
knowledge of the Governor, can, of course, not
be detelmined. It is added, that Miltlame
Month°lon has brought several important let-
ters trom Buonaparte, concealed in her clothes,
and that she has also the manuscript of the first
three volumes of Buonaparte's Me►uoirs, which
ate stated to come down to the year ISO-I flow
they are to be injured was not yet decided ; it is
believed that they will be sent for that purpose to
Joseph Buonaparte. Ile would then have them
printed at New York, and also get the English
translation finished which Madame Bertrand be-
gan. It 'is vet y possible these are mere reports,
such as are common at these places of public re-
sort, but as they are not- improbable, they seem
worth mentioning.

FRANKFORT, OCT. 13.—1 n the protocol of the
important sitting of the Diet on the 20th Septem-
ber, the determination of the external relations of
the Confederation in respect to peace and war,
and also the report with respect to the fortresses
of the Confederation, were adopted, for the pur-
pose of obtaining the necessary instructions before
the Diet recommences its sittings, that these im-
portant subjects may be discussed and deiermined
as soon as possible.
Private accounts from Berlin say, that the Pros-
sian Court intends to send the Chiet President Von
Bulow to Mentz, as Member of the Central CGlO-
mittee.

A CAUTIoN.—A person, assuming- the character
of a shoemaker, has been in tl►e habit of going to
many houses in the neighbourhood of Ca►endish-
stluare, under the pretext of baying brought home
a pair of new shoes far one of the family, for
which lie demands payment. He delivers the
Shoes to the servant who opens the door, and
int-
mediately his hack is turned takes the opportunity
of euteting the parlour, and stealing plate or any
other articles of value which may happen to tall
in his way. Tlie person above alluded to is rather
a short Man, of a dark complexion, and na►tally
wears an old black coat and black linen [Tim).

CRURLTY TO ANlMALS.—Yesterday, a man who
was driving a worn-out and half-starved horse it
a waggon, down Tottenham•court-road, was ob-
served to treat the poor beast with much cruelty.
At length, it was unable to proceed further, and
sunk down, overpowered with fatigne. The
brutal driver, with the Inmost barbarity, inflicted
such severe blows upon the wretched animal with
the butt-end of his whip, that the blood spouted
from its nostrils. A Gentleman who had viewed
thig conduct with indignation, on remnastratjng
with the driver, was threatened with similar treat-
ment, and would probably have suffered, had ke
not knocked the ruffian down.' A fight ensued,
which, to the great delight of the spectators,
ended in the victory of the Gentleman, who was
very little hurt, while his opponent, to use a
boxing phrase, was so heavily punished, that his
senses were hit out of him.

SUDDEN DEATH.--Tuesday last, a genteel
dressed female, about 50 years of age, fell down
in a fit in Oxford-street. A Gentleman of the
name of Blair, of Park-street, very humanely had
her carefully conveyed in a coach to fit. Ceorges
Hospital, where she lay a few hours and ;Ixpired.
Yesterday an Inquest was held on the body before
T. Gat.t, Esq. when it appeared that the deceased
had no paper* in her pockets whatever to lead to
a discovery of who she was. She had nothing
but 12 shillings in silver and a large bunch of
keys. The deceased was a flue stout woman, and
is supposed to have come from the couotry. The
Jury gave a verdict ot—" Died in a fit of Apo-
plexy."—The Coroner strongly recommended the
body to be kept as long as possible, and exertions
to be made in order to see if the deceased was
Owned.

ATTVMPT AT Solctoß.----Nresterday afternoon,
young woman, very genteelly dressed, about
23 years of age, was seen by some watermen, near
the Red House, Battersea, to throW herself
a boat, I hich was moored to sonic others, into
the Thames. The men immediately ran to ex-
tricate her, which they succeeded in doing, but
not without great di-diculty, it being high water.
She was conveyed to a neighbouring house, and
recovered. It turned out that she was the only
daugliter of a Gentleman of great property anti
respectability in the neighbourhood of Vatt;t11;11l,
whither the unfortunate female was carefully eon-
evyed hack. it appears that the young Lady
had once before attempted to put a period to her
existence, in consequence of Et
a love
