John Wall, a young man, was charged by a pub.
lican named Daniel Hall, of Chandns (beet, with
Ilealing on Gth Auguff laft, a (mall brats cock from
his cellar. On the crofs examination of the profecu•
tor, it appeared, that the charge was totally ground-
lefs ; but that he had perfifled in it for the purpofe
of getting mosey extorted from the Defendant, to
refrain from troubling him with an accufation, This
unconfcientinus profecutor was not alhamed to ac-
knowledge in Court, that he had a cnoliderable while
ago received the (urn of fixteen fhillings from the
Mier of the Defendant, upon condition that he would
not bling forward a profecutinn. Some time after
he had received that fum, he imagined that he might
have got a greater fum, and returned it.
Thus, fiippefing the Defendant to have been guilty
of the offence charged, the ends ofjuflice were to be
defeated.

The Defendant was acquitted, there being no other
evidence than the bare affertions of this publican.
Ankles of the peace were exhibited againfl Th 9
mar Wiley, a private in the Guards, by his wife. The
affidavit of the latter, who is fervant in a reputable
family, fet forth that the was in danger of her life.
Whiley, who was prefent, with his Serjeant, (frock
his wife in court, and being put to the bar by the of-
ficers, conclofted himfelf in the moll indecent man-
ner. He prefented a written flarement of his cafe
to the Chairman; but as it was addrefred to the Co-
lonel of his regiment, the Court could not recognife
it. He then raid his wife was married to another
man, and evinced the greaten contempt of the Court.
He was committed for want of fureties to keep the
peace, and the dfficets had great difficulty to re-
move him from the bar.

Several petty larceny cafes were tried, of no im•
porrance, and the &Mons adjourned to Hick's Hall,
on Tucfday.

G. Toad, B. johnfon, and y. Bay:, were brought up
as rogues and vagabonds, begging about the (beets;
of the metropolis, under pretence of being maimed
feamen. The appearance of the above defcription
of perfons imploring charity, under every fpecies of
impofition, has long been a public nuifance. They
have not only made a crippled appearance by artifice,
but it has been their invariable practice to infult un- I
!notated females, following them in the molt inde-
cent manner, till they extorted money. The Magif
tunes, fenfible of this public annoyance, iffued war-
rants for their apprehenlion, and the prifoners were
accordingly committed as vagrants. It did not ap-
pear, upon the prefent occafion, that aiey had any
fettled home or habitation. They appeared like
feamen, with their limbs bound up, and apparently
crippled, but they were known to be impuftors.
Mr. MAINWARIN Gt the Chairman, addreffing them,
obferved," When out of cultody, which will be after
fix months imprifonment, y• or. had better follow ano-
ther courfe of life, for if you are teen about the
Itreets begging in future, you wilt be tranfported.—
You have been a great naifance, living upon the
public in the molt fcandalous manner. If you had
the infirmities you pretend to have, and were woun-
ded feamen, you would be maintained by the public,
but you choofe to go wandering and begging in de-
fiance of the police. You mutt quit this vagabond
life, or expect the fevereft punifhment, the law can
infliet." The prifoners were then remanded into
candy for fix months.
Mr. Matirwaatmc then returned thanks to the
Gentlemen of the Jury, for their attendance and
attention and the Seflions ended.

A girl, aged 14, has had, for the lag (even pre-
ceding years of her life, Icrophulous ulcers on her
arms, neck, fide, and breads, attended with great
difcharge, particularly at the periods of Spring.
The dileafe baffled every means employed, when the
tried SPILIEURY'S Patent Antifcorbutic Drops, and
at this time the has taken five bottles ; the (mailer
ulcers are all healed, and the larger ones making fair
advances to the fame favourable termination, which
we are jultified in concluding from her mended (late
of health, probably miring from the good health of
the fecreting glands. Mrs. Dancer, York, will give
further information on application ; and the original
letters may be feta at the Difpeofary, No. ts, Soho
Square, London.—Mr. SraLsavit is not accounta-

ISLAND OP JERSEY, Ocv.l7.—On Wednefday morning, after a
Otort illnefs, departed this life, univerfally regretted, Lieutenant-
Colonel Godley. When it is the will of Divine Providence, whore
ways are infcrutable to mortal refearch, to take from this fublu-
nary Rage a charador of pure and unalloyed worth, a fineere regret
is well becoming the mind of genuine, difinterefted feeling, and
focial elevated fentiments. In the prefent initance of mortal infla-
bility, if a roodeft unaffuming deportment, a conciliating dilpo-
fltion' a warm benevolent heart and an unimpeached integrity,
could merit the regard and fincere elteem of fociety, thofe virtues I
were eminently his own, and the army, but more efpecially the
83d regiment, whom he had formerly commanded, have at all times
teftified their full acknowledgment of this fair and candid truth,
as alto of his Grill and abilities as an Officer. When Major rf
that regiment, commanding a detachment of Regulars and
litia, he was the firft whom the Maroons attacked, after they bad
waged war againft the Government of tho Mud of Jamaica ; and
after a Mort but defperate conteft, he obliged them to take to
their woods and faftneffes for which adt of bravery he received
the thanks of the Commander in Chief, and the fpot where the
aCtion was fought is called and known on the map of the iCand
under the name of Goo LEY'S Pose. A laboured panegyric nei-
ther my difpofition or fineerity will allow me to impofc, but a
I temperate eulogium, when juftly merited, as it incites to the
contemplation of virtuous cantina, and the acquirement of a good
I name, is an incenfe which can difpleafe neither Heaven or earth, to
! offer at the thrift of a deceafed friend, whole lots a large and ro-
I fpedtable family, and a numerous acquaintauce, are left to lament.
