ASSAULT ON LADY COLEBROOK.

THE KING ON THE PROSECUTION OF LADY COLE-
DRooK, V. S. J. BOL'IBY, JOSEPH PARISH, AND

OTHERS.

This was an indictment tried at the Sittings •af-
ter last Term, in London. The defendants were
charged with a violent assault on Lady Colebrook,
the Misses Colebrook, and a Miss Sutherland,
by way-laying their can-Inge in Ilampsterttl-road,
in September, 1817. It appeared at the
that Lady Colebrook was driving by Ilaverstock
Hill, when the defendants and Mrs. Taate, the
mother of the Misses Colehrooke, stopped the
carriage. Parish, who is a prize-fighter, attempt-
ed to pull one of the young Ladies out of the
carriage by her leg, and it was as much as Lady
Colebrooke and Miss Sutherland could do to re-
tain her. After the Ladies had been alarmed,
Mrs. Taafe got into the carriage, and Mr. Bolt by
mounted the box. They then drove to the Al-
bany Chambers, where Mrs. Taafe'l solicitor
came, and the parties separated. The defend-
ants admitted they were guilty, and a verdict was

taken accordingly.
Mr. GURNEY moved the judgment of the Court
only on Mr. Bobby and Parish, the prize-fighter.
He did not bring up Mrs Taafe.
Mr. Bialthy put iu his affidavit, stating that he
was a merchant in Duke-streef, Adelphi. Ile re-
presented that he had been induced to offer vio-
lence to Lady Colebrooke, on the representa-
tion of Mrs. Tatife; that her children were for-
cibly withheld from her, and that they only
wanted an opnortunit.y to rush into the arms of
their parent. He went to Hampstead, and found
the defendant, Parish, who was procured, with
others, to protect Mrs. Tasle against•the inso-
lence of Lady Colebrooke's servants. He round
one of the defendants had pistols, anti insived
on looking at them. They were not loaded. He
tlien went in a coach with Mrs. Taate and her
party, and drew across the road to prevent Lady
Colebrook's carriage from passing. When they
opened the doors 'be found the young Ladies did
not fly to their mother, as he had been instructed
to expect, and in consequence of that circum-
stance he endeavoured all he could to protect
Lady Colebrook and the,Ladies in the carriage.--
Mr. Bobby disclaimed any motive but that of as-
sisting; a Mother whoth he considered desirous of
seeing her children.
Parish put in no affidavit. .
Mr. DetimaN addressed the Court, and stated,
that he was instructed by his client to offer a pub-
lic apology, and to express Mr. Bobby's sorrow
for the violence and &with:thee of Lady Cole-
brook's family. Ile observed at the same time,
that the defendants had expected the affidavits of
the young Ladies in the carriage, as they might
have thrown more light on the behaviour of his
clients•
Mr. GURNEY-, in behalf of the prosecution, said,
he was surelhe Court would not disapprove of his
not putting in the affidavits of the young
as they had been withheld front motives of deli-
cacy alone.
The Cotes' Jost ca said, he should have been'
surprised if the affidavits of these Ladies had been
introduced.
Mr. GURNEY then adverted to the affidavit of
Mr. Bobby, 'and observed that it was extraordi-
nary that a merchant, with gentlemanly feelings,
should be found acting with a prize-fighter, in a
Matter of violence and outrage which was a dis-
grace to the country. The Court would not give
vindictive punishment, but its sentence would ope-
rate as a protection to these Ladies in future.
Mr. NoLax followed on the same side.
Mr. Justice BAYLRY, after a suitable animadver-
sion on the act of the defendants, and the viola-
tion of decency iu the attack upon a Lady, 80.
years of age, with three young Ladiea nadir
20,
said the Court was hound to award that punish-
ment which would at least deter others from si-
milar acts. Mr. Bobby said he had been led away
by the representations of Mrs. Taate, but it was
at least his duty to inquire into the true state of
the family dispute before he engaged in a breach
of the peace.
IThe Court sentenced the defendants Bobby and
Parish to be imprisoned four months in the Mar-
shalsea. Bulthy was also ordered to pay rsAine of
1001. and to find sureties to keep the peace for
two years, himself in 5001. and two others in
250/.. each.

EX PARTE. VOGEL.
Tbis person was brought up from Newgate.,

committed, for not satisfactorily.answering cer-
tain questions. put to him as a witness', by the
Commissioners under a commission of bankrupt,
issued ,against a foreigner named Ehrenstrimi,
iii
order to be discharged, on the ground orillega-
litof the commitment..
•bin. SCAELETT and Mr. GURNEY . were heard.
against the comnittnent, and the further argument
was postponed until to-morrow morning, at the
sitting of the Court.

The Court was occupied to.day in hearing
'ordinary [notions, in which nothing of public in-
terest occurred.

PROVI ;S. CIA I, C; IC': A LS.

tr lrkire falivn the following Article, upon a
subject highly interest ing to the lo;ver classes of
our fellow s'Lthiect s throughout the United F :11.
tire, from T 7 Gloneester Herald, one of the n)63t
respect:ll)le of our Provincial iJourucil

EMIGRATION.
Every country, when removed nom a state of
war to that of :peace, must experience a shock
commensuraie with abits great transition, and no
part of the world has'teitthe effects of such .a change
more than the United kingdoms of Great Britain
and Ireland. In our Herald of the 17th inst. sS--
stated, that the shuttle and loom were in full em-
ploy, and that every artisan of industrious habits.
may get the fair price of labour ; this int:tit-ma-
tiou we derived from indisputable authority, and
gave it to our Readers unaccompanied with spe-
culative opinions, or theoretic sophisms-- It is
now our purpose to call the •public attention to
the cause and effect of emigration front this coun-
try to foreign parts; and we do so the more will-
because ise believe that a redondampupti.
!viol, Is as great a calamity as this nation can ex-
perience,and because we believe that the number of
inhabitants in the United KinOoms are more than
equal to the supply of food. The importation of
the necessaries of life moat (being a measure of
necessity) drain the precious metals Irum this
island. The payments fur foreign corn are sel-
dom made in barter ; ships sail front our harbours
in ballast, take their-cargoes in the various ports
of the liAlt-ics, Mediterranean, rte America, for
which Bills on England ate given, a commission
paid, and, what is worse, the .Exchange is often
so much turned against London by this msasttre,.
as to cause a greater quantity of specie to depart
than value in corn is received for ; or, to use the
mercantile term, " we have not value received,"
This calamity can only be removed by two ex-
pedients ; either to pay for foreign corn in barter,
the produce of the labour of the kingdom, or' re-
duce the population. if the first position could
be maintained, it would be better for the mer-
chant, the labourer, and the revenue : then we
should have the advantage of keeping all ourna-
fives at home, because they would be in full em-
ploy, both commercial and agricultural; the in-
flux and rt liux of commerce would be so exten-
sive, that.riches would pour io upon us, anti that
.accompanied with 11 large cheap loaf. However,
foreignera do not require the whole surplus quan-
tity of our products to make them even comfort-
able, not to say luxurious; and hence it is, that
a scarcity •to this country products wealth on the
continent ; whichenubles the foreigner to go to
other mat kets, and purchase those luxuries which
are not indigenous to our soil. .
The first position, viz. a barter trade for fo-
reign corn, not being attainable, we have no
alternative but to reduce the popelation so notch
as to have the supply of fond. within ourselves; or,
at least, let the redundancy of numbers be as moat
lowered as circumstances will admit, cciwilstent
with the smallest possible importation of bread cot it,
and this .can only be acquired by well-directed
emigration. We are aware that many of the best
mcn in the kingdom have occupied a great part of
their valuable life in digesting plans for totting
useful establishments in our Coloeies, and we
have also sufficient evidence before us of the crafty
system adopted by °then, to divert the poor ho-
nest man from this -land of civil and, religious
berry, to the half-savage back settlements of -Ame-
rica, where, he possesses a constitution of iron,
he may linger out a miserable esisteuce ; but he
must make op his mind to lose all comfort, both
domestic and foreign. Few' who take their fami-
lies to the-New States of America, live to see
their children attain maohood, anti as few., .after
the lapse of a shOrt time, hitie • the- coinfort of
keeping their families together. The climate is
hostire•to the British.; the feMales, in particular,
are subject to various 'diseases.; no •medical atJ
tendance is to be had, anti they pine sway're-
greeting that they eptitted the land oltheir fathers;
and ashamed, or from poveety are iucapable
returning to their' connexions 'and friends..
But the Man with capital thinks, that to have
an estate at the trifling price of nine shillings per
acre for the fee-simple, is to buy that which will
make iihn both rich and happy ; bete he is
thwarted in his fairy hope ;—first, the land nOst
be 'cleared, the house-built, the stock• and.otten-
sits purchased, and the labour, in addition. to his
own, provided ; then. comes -the scanty, crop of
Indian corn.—But he cannot live on, this .alone,
he must find i 4 market, neither bas.he less difficulty
here, he sells the -produce to those who are the_
pest of every country--the speculative: jobber,
who in return gives clothing, groceries, medicines •
(but not advice), iron, or hardware ; and that •
at an advance of four or five hundred per cent.
above the imported cost unto the United States ;
the consequence is ..oltvious,. that when .the.
gatherer (for such there are) arrives, the.new
settler is wohout•means to pay hint, and the Itiffe.
demanded is much more- to- the heart-broken: Bri-
ton, than the larger sum he would-have beau call-
ed upou•ior iwthis country ; because here he pos,-
sessed the means (if with difficulty), .there
wit hunt them. It is then that the. American
jobber takes advantage of the credulous stranger ;
he advances money and goods, but the iefopt,
estate is the required security ; and front time to
time it becomes so much involved, that-the pus.
sessor is obliged, to relinquish. his
4nissively request permission to work as a labourer
on that harm which, be supposed, was.to supply
all the comforts of life for hiutself,.and a fortune
for his family. We have not overcharged: this
picture of misery ; the spirit of emigration: in
the neighbourhood has been roused by designing
individuals, and, in cur next, we shall endeaVoto
to direct it to its-proper object.
