PRICE 7D.

Lyne : I was going from Newcastle to Croxton on
Thursday the 12th of October, when I met the de-
fendant ; I never saw Mr. Barlow before ; I inquired
the road ; Mr. Barlow said he would show me; we
passed by a pond, and saw the children in the water:
The girl had a white duck in her hand. The boy
was without part of his dress. The boy was driving
the ducks off the water. Barlow called out to them ;
the boy and the girl ran away. I stopped the girl.
Barlow said " Never mind the girl, catch me the
boy if you can. If you bring him to my house, I
will give you a dinner and a jug of ale." When I
got to Caddy's house, Mary Caddy said he was gone
towards a little tick. I said " No, he was not," and
on seeking for him I found him under the stairs. I
saw Caddy's duck in the garden ; it was a dark
brown one. I went with the Caddys before Mr.
Broughton. I heard Mr. Broughton say Barlow
must bring the girl up in the morning. He said that
they had been taking his ducks. Barlow asked if
there was any occasion for a warrant to bring the girl,
the mother said no ; she had brought the boy,
and would bring the girl without. I remem-
ber the mother standing near John Caddy. She
put her mouth to his ear. When Mr. Broughton
asked what he had to say for his (Vence, the mo-
ther said they had been fighting ; then Mr. Brough-
ton told her to hold her noise. He then asked the
boy, and he said they had been fighting the ducks.
John Barlow.—l am the son of the defendant ;
my father is not a rich man : my father kept geese
and ducks upon the common. Mr. Broughton sug-
gested that Julia Caddy should be brought. I went
to desire the mother to bring Julia the next day.
The informations were read over to the children.
When Mr. Broughton asked the boy for his defence,
the boy was going to say he was going to take the
ducks, when the mother whispered to him and
stopped him. The mother then said the children
were fighting the ducks, and the boy said so also. I
was with Peak when the boy was going to prison,
but I did not hear him say he'd be if he cared
where they took him.
The Rev. Henry Delves Broughton.—l am a
Magistrate of this county. I am the nearest Ma-
gistrate to the parties in this action. I remember
the boy being brought before me. Barlow said he
had found some children stealing his ducks, and he
had brought one of them. On hearing Barlow's
statement, I said I must have the girl before me ; he
asked me for a warrant, and the mother said there
was no occasion for a warrant, she would bring the
girl herself without. The next day I took the exa-
minations of Barlow and Ward when the Caddys
were not present. I explained to the children the
nature of the charge against them. The boy was
going to say something beginning with " I was,"
when the mother whispered something to him, and
he stopped. She then said they were fighting the
ducks. I said, " You have brought up your chil-
dren to thieving, and now you are teaching them to
tell lies." I then cautioned the children, I should
take down what they said in writing; and whether
it was for or against them, it would appear at their
trial : they each said they were going to fight the
ducks. I then bound over Barlow to prosecute.

Cross-examined.—When Barlow came to me on
the evening of the 12th, Barlow said he had a
charge against John Caddy and Julia Caddy, for
stealing his ducks.
By Mr. Baron VAUGHAN.—I did not know the
age of the girl at the time.
_

.
Exammanon continued.—l never committed so
young a subject before : I had no scruple about
doing it. I should do the same again to-morrow.
Mr. Baron VAUGHAN thought a great deal of
caution was required : many of the greatest law
authorities considered seven years old too young to
make a child responsible for any acts it might be
guilty of.
Examination resumed.—l have only committed
one person since. I was surprised to find such a
little creature brought before me; but Barlow still
insisted in his charge. Some person of the name of
Caddy had been before me for an assault. I don'r
recollect that the father or mother, or any of these
children, were before me. I generally examine a
charge of felony in presence of the prisoners. I
don't believe I ever, on any other occasion, exa-
mined the witnesses in .the absence of the prisoners.
After finishing the examination of Barlow and Ward,
I ordered John and Julia Caddy to be called in.
My room is a small room, and I don't like to have a
parcel of dirty people standing about my room; I
don't. Poor people occasion sometimes a very un-
pleasant smell in a room ; and I don't like to have
them contaminating my room : they generally stand
in the passage, and the door is open between the
room and passage. The mother of the children was
very much distressed when I said I would commit
hei children to gaol. I thought the parents de-
served commitment more than the children. I ex-
pressed great regret, that I could not send her in-
stead of the children. I had no scruple about com-
mitting them.
Mr. CAMPBELL replied.
The Jury, after consulting for about half an hour,
returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 100/.
DENTON V. BAKEIVELL.

This was an action by the plaintiff, a maiden lady
of some fortune, to recover from the defendant, the
keeper of a lunatic asylum, a compensation in da-
mages for having assaulted and imprisoned her there-
in without cause.
After evidence to a considerable length had been
adduced on the part of the plaintiff, all tending to
show that she was subject to great irritability of
mind, the medical gentleman who attended her stated
that he could not positively say she was sane, as her
mind was in such a high degree of excitement and
delusion. _ _ _

Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—Don't you consider those
delusions a test of insanity ?
Witness--I do, my Lord,
Mr. Baron VAUGHAN-It is impossible, after this,
the cause can go on.
Mr. CAMPBELL consented to withdraw the record.
A Magistrate on the Bench, who had performed
the (Aide of Visiting Magistrate to the defendant's
house for nine years, spoke in the highest terms of
his treatment of the patients intrusted to his care.
John Morris was indicted for fraudulently obtain-
ing from John Rutter, of Walsall, by means of a
forged letter, 201 b. of hops, value 21. lls.—Guilty.
Seven years' transportation.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.---EXETER, AUG. 8.

Mr. COLERIDGE and Mr. FOLLET appeared for
the plaintiff, and the former stated that this was an
action brought to recover compensation for certain
slanderous words uttered by the defendant in a pub-
lic room at South Brent, at the time of the fair
there. The. parties, though of the same name, were
not in the slightest degree related to each other.
The plaintiff was a respectable farmer, and the de-
fendant a man of property and the Lord of the Ma-
nor of South Brent. . The words conveyed a very
serious imputation, for which there was not the least
possible foundation. The Jury would hear the
words from the witness, and they would then say
to what damages a respectable man so charged was
entitled.

James Ward Farnham—l know the parties; on
the 24th of April last I was at the Pack Horse, at
South Brent, and I heard in the next room a noise,
which induced me to go into it, where I saw the
plaintiff and defendant, who were quarrelling, and
the defendant offered to fight ; I advised him not tc
do SP, but he said, " I won't be insulted—and in-
