FOR COUGHS.
PECTORAL ESSENCE OF COLTSFOOT.
THE Herb COLTSFOOT has long been distin-
guished for its excellent properties in the cure of Coughs,
and other Famtonary Complaints; and this Essence has, in the
course of a long practice, been found the most safe and effectual
remedy for Coughs, and all Disorders of the Lungs. It gently
opens the Breast, and immediately gives liberty of breathing,
without any danger of taking cold, and thus it affords great relief
in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the tickling which provokes
frequent coughing, cleanses the small glands, relaxes the fibres, and
thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels.—Thus it will prevent
Consumptions, if taken before the Lungs are ulcerated. It softens
husky and dry Coughs, and heals rawness and soreness of the Chest.
This Pectoral' Essence is prepared by James Ryan, Surgeon in
Bristol ; and sold in Bottles at 2s. 9d. and 3s. 6d. each, by F.
Newbery and Sons, 45, St. Paul's Church Yiird ; J. Sanger,
150, Oxford-street ;W. Pegg, 20, Dame-street, Dublin ; and in
most Country Towns.
Observe the name F. Newbery, 45, St. Paul's, engraved on the

employed by Mrs. Fleck, who stands behind me, to take care of
her two children._ I remember her going out to work one day at
Wroughton ; she told me to bring the two children to her in the field
about 9 or 10 o'clock ; Ann Fleck, the eldest child, is near six years
old; the other is in arms; I set out with them; the prisoner was sit-
ting down with a little boy by the side of the road ; his name is
Wm. Edmonds ; -I did not know the prisoner ; he went on a little
further than where he was, and sat down ; Ann Fleck sat down
with me; the man came •and took Ann Fleck away; he said he
wanted her to hold a gate open, as he had a few :sheep
_coming
out ;he took her with• him in his arms half-way down the
ground; and then took her by the hand and made her walk ; they
i.walked into the stalls on lir. Butler's grounds ; the stalls are
to keep cows in ; they were a main bit in the stalls, and then
I went down ; I went down to the stalls because they were so long;
when I was by the road I could not see them in the stalls; I can-
not tell haw long they were in the stalls ; when I came to the
stalls I looked through a hole : he (the prisoner) could not see mo.
The witness then described what she saw. The child cried out
,and said she would tell her father; I had been there a minute or'
two ; he asked the little child if she had pulled the knife out of_
hia pocket ; I did not see' any knife ; the matt asked the child
Whether she would pull the knife out of his pocket; she said no;
he said if she did -not,- 'he would cut her head off. The child
came running-up-.to me and was crying all the way .;*. she looked
back two or three times ; he got over the hedge alongside a ground;
and went into the copse; she told me what lie had done to her ;-
he.went away quick; ,he ran away ; I went to the field to the
mother, and told her directly what had happened.
The prisoner kneeled; and prayed for mercy.
. The Jury 'returned a verdict of Gtilty:
. The Junoi ppt on his black cap, and addressed him thus :-.-
Henry Smith, notwithstanding the difficulties presented by the
infancy of the child, and the requisition of the law, as to the
proof necessary to your conviction; you have been found guilty,
I believe, to the, satisfaction of -.every man who has heard this
trial, of a most heinous offence, which discovers a brutality of
mind which can only be accounted for by admitting that you have
become so brutal in your nature, as to be unftt longer to live
amongst mankind. The previous circumstances of your life
show what a worthless. and abandoned man- you _ have become.
At the Lent Assizes, only three years sinFei-you were convicted
of an assault, with intent- to commit a rape, and sentenced to
19 months' imprisonment, whiCh you suffered. There has now
been found against you a'nother' bill;' for =an attempt to commit a
rape on another child of thirteen years-of' age ;= and I draw no
inferences in Yaw 'favour from the bill: for the. capital- of-
fence "not Having be-en found. - I have seen thedepositions, and I
have no doubt in my own-mind that that 'crime was also fully and
effectually perpetrated.. I- grieve to say that I dare not recommend
you to mercy:- Your time here is.very. short. Tbe.sentence of
the law is, that you be taken from hence to prison, and thence to
the place- of execution, where you are to be hanged by the neck
until you are dead, and may God in Isis mercy have pity on your
guilty,
_guilty soul. .
HORSE Srmaitwc.—Raymond Read and William Staples
we,re indicted for having feloniously stolen a, dark brown gelding,

the property of James Watts. •
Read was indicted for another felony of the same 'description, to
which he persisted in pleading " guilty," in spite of the earnest
entreaty of the Judge to withdraw his plea, and take his trial.
When called on for their defence, Raymond said that Staples
applied to him to show out the horse; be was only acting for
Staples.
Staples denied any knowledge of the transaction.
They were found Guilty.
The JUDGE said, he would not decide to-day what to do with
them, but he thought an example must be made of some, as horse-
stealing was become a regular trade.

dicted for a burglary, on 25th Sept. last, in the stable adjoining

veral
sets of gears for cart-horses.
Prince was acquitted, but detained upon another indictment.—
Jenkins was acquitted of the burglary, and found guilty of steal-
ing goods generally.
Mr. Baron PARROW.-Persons employed on navigable canal

tence of death. The sentence of the Court is, that you be trans-
ported for seven years.

Regan, who could not distinguish the one he received from the
-prisoner.—Not Guilty.
Mr. SCARLETT said there was another indictment against the
priSoner, charging him with having forged notes in his possession,
but the Bank would not press it. The prisoner was then 'acquit-

ted and discharged.
George Howarth was charged with uttering two forged Bank
of England notes, and also with having uttered two counterfeit

HAMFSON V. YATES AND ANOTHER.

This was an action of libel.

Mr. SARLETT stated the case. The plaintiff was an attorney
residing at Bolton, and the defendants the proprietors of a news-
paper called the Bolton Express. The libel complained of ap-
peared on the Ist of April, 1826, and arose out of this transaction.
The plaintiff was engaged by a person named Cunliffe, a school-
master in Bolton, in an action brought against him by Hasleden
and Co., for the recovery of a small sum of money. Cunliffe not
being able to settle the debt, Mr. Hampson paid it, but had after-
wards occasion to commence an action against him to.enfgrce its
payment. In consequence of some alleged harshness in the course
of these proceedings, Cunliffe wrote a letter to the Editor of the
Bolton Express, which contained the libel for which the plaintiff
now sought redress. In a communication with the defendant, he
promised to insert a contradiction, but this having never appeared
as promised, the plaintiff had no other, course left but that be
adopted for the vindication of his character.. The Jury would
give such damages as they thought the plaintiff entitled to.
The proprietorship by the defendant being proved, the libel
Was read :
In the first count, Mr. BROUGHAM detected a variance in
the record ; the word " punishable," being written " punished."
This Mr. Scant Err admitted to be fatal. •
The letter was again read, and a variance was found in the se-
cond count ; " extraordinary" being written " extraordinarily."
Mr. Baron BULLOCK—That is " extraordinary" indeed.—

(Laughter.)
The letter was read a third time, and a variance was found on
the fourth count, 44 costs out of pocket," being written " costs
of pocket," a general burst of laughter followed this announce-
ment.
Mr. Baron Hum.ocK suggested, that the withdrawing a juror
would satisfy the justice of the case, and be creditable to the de-
fendant to consent to.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, his client refused; but on, its being ex-
plained that the plaintiff might lay another action, he consented
