Monday last, the Coen proceeded with the trial
of Daniel MsiPherson, Janes Graham, and Donald
Weallum, oil now or lately soldiers in the Argyle-
shire regiment of mificia,- for the murder of John
&uvula, a negro, and drummer in the twenty-ninth
regiment of foot. The indictment charged, that the
prisoners did, early on the morning of the 4th of Sep-
tember Lan, forcibly bleak into the house possessed by
Margaret Creek, residenter in Castlehill, Aberdeen,
and Jid then, and within the said house, or upon the
street near to it, barbarously, wickedly, and feloniously
beat the said John Simpson with stones, and stab him
with bayonets in divers parts of his head and body.—
In consequence of the wounds thereby inflicted, he
the said John Simpson, did almost immediately die,
and was thereby barbarously bereaved of his life, and
murdered by the prisoners, or one or other of them.
The examination of witnesses lasted from 9 o'clock
it) the morning till two o'clock afternoon ; after which
the Jnry were charged by Mr. Staten-on GENERAL
for the Crown, Mr. Stumm. for M'Callum, and Mr.
Muittor for Graham and M'Pherson. The Lour)
Janice CLERIC summed up the whole in a candid and
able speech, and after five the Jury were inclosed.—
They were appointed to reuirn their verdict at two
o'clock yesterday, which they did accordingly, finding
unanimously the libel Not proven. After an excel-
lent and suitable exhortation, as to their future eon-
dna, from the Lou) JUST ICE Coax, they were dis-
missed from the bar.

ARCHES COURT OF CAN ER BURY, COCTOR'S COM-
MON; JAN. se.
MANE tr. MOON&

This was a cause of divorce or separation from
bed, board, and mutual cohabitation, promoted by
Elizabeth Ann Horne, against John Horne her hus-
band, by reason of adultery. From the libel and evi-
Apace in the cause, it appeared that the parties were
married by banns on the lOth of December, 1795, in
the parish church of Cudham, in the county of Kent;
that in 1797 (after having resided constantly together
in and about town) Mr. Horne and his wife quitted
England, and went to New York, in America, where
they continued to cohabit together, until November,
1809, when Mr. Horne took his passage again for
England, and Es wife soon after followed him, and
they continued to live together at the house of the
father-in-law, at lireotford ; that during their resi-
dence there Mrs. Horne was delivered of a female
child, and whilst confined during her lying-inn, and for
some time before, the husband carried on an adulte-
rous intercourse with a servant maid, then living in
the house, who afterwards became pregnant, and was
obliged to leave her service. That afterwards he
formed a connection with another young woman, and
persuaded her to live with him as man and wife, who
also became pregnant by him.
The Learned Judge (Sir. Wm. Wymxz) after
hearing the depositions of several witnesses and other
exhibits, produced in the cause, read, was clearly of
opinion, that the charge otadulterY was completely
establisited, and accorringly "pronounced for a sepa•
ration from bed, board, and mutual cohabitation, as
prayed on the part lithe wife.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JANUARY 19.
FRACAS.

Itsas Berth (well known upon the town for a
rear number of years), was indicted for a fraud : the
onclicrment charged, that under false pretences the
prison tz obtained from Mr. John Freeman, umbrella-
maker, of Charlton-street, St. M.try-la-bonne, four
silk umln-ellas, value 41. Bs. on the 26th November.
The pretences used were, that he had taken a house
in Great Portland-street (No. 34), that he wad a Bir-
mingham and Sheffield Merchant, and that he wanted
the umbrellas to send to Cheltenham, and would call
and pay for them in the evening ; whereas in truth and
in fact he had not taken the house, No. 34, Great
Port:.end-street, nor was he a Birmingham and Shef-
field merchant, nor did he want the umbrellas to send
to Cheltenham.

Previous to the trial being proceeded on, the pri
sower applied to the Court to pestpone his trial till the
next Sessions, alledging that he was unprepared with
Counsel, and that some documents which were neces-
sary for his defence were in the hands of a friend, and`
that he could not procure them before next Sessions. '
Being asked by the Court the nature of these docu-
ments? he replied that they were memorandums written
by himself ; the Court on this statement refused to
accede to the application, and the trial pmceeded.
Mr. John Freeman stated, that the prisoner called
at his shop on the morning of de 26th November,
and reprinented himself to be a Birmingham and
Sheffield merchant • that he had taken a house,
No. 54, Great Portiand.street, which he was going
to open in that line, and that he wanted some um-
brellas to send to Cheltenham ; be looked-out four,
which he said he would take with him, but that be
had no cash about him ; and being a stranger to the
witness, would leave a hill of exchange, until the even-.
ing, when he would call to pay the money to redeem
it.. He said that he was to give SOL per annum for
she house, and JODI. for the lease. In .a few minutes
after his departure, the witness's saspicions were rais-
ed, he went to Mr. Webster, the owner of the house,
No. 34, from whom he learnt that the prisoner had
beta in treaty for the house, -but had not concluded
his treaty. The prisoner. was traced in consequence
of the witness going to make inquiries in Hart-street
about the bill he had left as a security, and which
was a fictitious one.
Mr. Wm. Webster, the owner ofthe house, No. 54,

Great Portland-street, stated that the prisoner called
at his shop on the 21th November, seeing a billinthe
window to let the shop and parlour, for which the wit-
ness asked 551. per annum. The prisoner offered 501.
saying it would just suit him • but the witness decli-
ned taking a less sum than that named by him. He
then wished to take the whole house, and the witness
said he should have it for 80 guineas per annum, and
a lease for 21 years for 1501. The prisoner said he
would call again, which he did on the 25th and 26th,
but not giving any references, the witness did not
treat with him.
Joseph Avery, shopman to Mr. Baxter a pawnbro-
ker near the Middlesex Hospital, stated, that on the
26th November lee took in pledge three umbrellas,
which he produced, and which the prosecutor identi-
fied to be his property, of a man calling himsAfJohn-
son, which man he believed to be the prisoner. He
lent him 11. 16s. upon them.
Henry Howard, a constable, apprehended the pri-
setter at No. 15, Charles-street, Portman-square, and
found in the apartments where he was, one umbrella,
(which he produced, and the prosecutor identified it).
On their way to Marlborough-street, the prisoner
asked the witness whether the matter could not be
made up?
Samuel Hamilton, an Officer 'belonging to the
Public-Office, Marlborough-street, produced two bills
of exchange found on the prisoner ; which he said the
Magistrates dtAred hint to produce in Court.
The Chairman (Mr. READ) however, said, they
had no refereLcv to this case.

The prisoner neither examined any one of the wit-
nesses, ner, when called upon for his defence, offered
one single word.
The Jury immediately found him Guilty. He was
then indicted for a similar fraud upon Mr. John Cooper,
breeches-maker in Foley.place, by obtaining a pair of
leather gaiters under the same pretences ; and was
found Guilty.
He was then indi. ted for obtaining from Mr. Wm.
Cooper of the Weavers' Arms, Mile End Old Town,
the sum of four gni, cas, undo- false pretences.
Mr. Cooper stated that the'prisoner came to his
house on the Ith S, ptember, in the morning, about
eleven o'clock ; and went into the parlour ; he called
for a sheet of writing paper, wrote a letter, and told
the witness, that he had taken a house at the back
of Bow Church ; and that he wanted a little money
to pay for the lease. He then produced a bill pur-
porting to be drawn by Birch. Harris and Company,
upon Taylor, Baker and Company of No. 25, Jewin-
strm, at two months date • and described himsAf as
of the firm of the house drawing the bill, and said
Messrs. Taylor and Company were the firm of their
bankers. Upon this assurance the witness let him
have two guineas and a half, and he promised to call
again in the evening and pay the money. About
three o'clock on the same day he called again with a
man, whom he represented as his paper-hanger. The
man had four rolls of taper, which he said was to pa-
per his house near Bow Church. The prisoner or-
dered some rum', matt for dinner, which they soon
dispatched, pia their reckoning, and then the paper-
hanger came to the bar with—" Mr. Birch's compli-
ments and hoped it would he agreeable to Mr. Cooper
to lit him (Mr. B.) have one guinea and a half more
upon the faith of the bill." l'he witness advance.l
accordingly the guinea and half—they then departed;
but the prisoner did not call any more. In a few
days after the witness went to Jewin-stccet, to inquire
about the bill, and found that the house was inhabited
by an old avadeer-woman who kept a mangle, and who
informed the witness that she knew nothing of the
parties • but that there had been many bills brought
of similar descriptions.
This was the only witness in this case. The pri-
soner, as in the two former cases, asked no questions,
nor said any thing in defence. He was found guilty.
The Court sentenced him to be imprisoned for the
space of nine month:, viz. three mantlit for each offence.

Articles of the peace were exhibited against
George Welch, a young attorney, by the father of
Miss Blake, a young Lady, 17 years old. The
exhibitant,- who keeps the Britannia, in Britannia-
row, Islington, made affidavit to the facts following
—Miss Blake had frequently bem accosted by Mr.
Welch, while going to school, alid had attended to
his addresses, but being aware that her conduct was
imprudent, she informed her brother, who communi-
cated the information to her father, and Mr. Welch
was prevented from afterwards seeing her. In re-
venge for the disappointment, Welch expressed his
intention, in the presence of a Mr. Sims, of carrying
Miss Blake off from her parents, and the exhihitant
had no doubt, from the violent temper and disposi-
tion of Welch, that he would attempt to put his
threat in execution.

This affidavit was corroborated by that of Mr.
Sims. The father of Welch, and a very respectable
housekeeper in Lincoln's Inn, attended to offer sure-
ties for the young man, and after he had been brought
into Court from the New Prison, he was admitted to
bail, himself in '2,001. and two sureties in 1001. each,
to keep the peace for twelve months.
The Captain of a Russian ship prosecuted one of
his seamen for an assault. From the evidence of the
prosecutor, it appeared, that the defendant had been
joined, with several of the most troublesome part of
the crew, in a kind of mutiny, on the voyage here
from Mcmel ; and that, on the ship's arrival in the
River, he struck the prosecutor a blow on the Breast,
that nearly knocked him overboard, without any pro-
vocation whatsoever. This was corroborated by ano-
ther witness. The prisoner in his defence acknow-
ledged he had committed the assault, but expressed
his contrition for it, and promised he would behave
himself better for the future.

An interpreter attended, employed on the part of
toe Russian Consul; who himself also appeared in
Court, and said, the prosecution was carried on at
his instance, considering it his duty as the natural
protector of the Russian Captain in this Country,.
thoughnow his functions had ceased.
The prisoner was foundguilty, but in considera-
rtion of his contrition, and in the hope that he would
'hereafter obey his master, he was discharged on his
own recognizance,. to be brought up for judgment
only in the case of his future ill behaviour.
The journeymen shoemakers found guilty of the
conspiracy against their employer, Mr.Limebeer, were
severally ordered to be imprisoned in the House of
Correction ; two of them for one year, six for nine
months, and the remainder for lesser periods.
The business of the sessions being finished, the
Court adjotuned.
