This was the second of three actions brought by Mrs.
Amelia Newport, who lately kept a ladies boarding-
school at Little Hampton, against several panic, for
withdrawing their children at Michaelmas h:t, without
giving a quarter's notice, pursuant to her terms. The
first of these ease!, "Newport v. Perry," was tried at
the Sitting in Term, when the defence set up was the
mismanagement of the school, which failed in the opi-
nion of the Jury, and they returned a verdict for the
plaintiff. The second cause now came on for trial, in
which the defendant was Mr. Starling, an innkeeper at
Barnet. On the part of the plaintiff it became neces-
sary, in order to bring home a knowledge of the terns
to the defendant, to call Mrs. Perry, the wi`e of the de-
fendant in the f rarer cause, and sister to the defendant
in the prcsent, who swore that she took upon herself to
send ittr n'ece.to school, and paid for her, and that her
father was ent;r,ly ignorant of the terms.
The Lae Cum Jorrics, upon this evidence, directed the
plaintiff to be smoked.
The remising cans% " Newport s. Sauer)," was referred, on
the suggestion of the Lord Chief Justice.

watch-house on a charge of assault, which was heard
the next day before a Magistrate, and dismissed. It
was suggested that the motive for this conduct was a
desire to compel the plaintiff to leave the.premises; but
as no defence was offered, no explanation was given.

ADMIRALTY- COURT, JUNE to.
Thomas Allen, the Master of the Hope, stood indicted
for feloniously killing and slaying two seamen belong-
ing to the Aurora, of the names of Coppin end Tran-
ham, on the 6th of February last, by wilfully capsizing
a boat, in which they were towing, off Harwich. It ap-
peared Oat the brig England had- been driven into Har•
wick, having lost both anchors, and the salvage vessels,
the Hope, ot which the prisoner was master, and the
Aurora, Of which the prosecutor,. Edward Lewis, was
master, were sailing at five o'clock in the morning off
Harwich, in quest of salvager The Aurora, finding
one of the anchors of the England, sent out a boat and
fastend a line to the buoy. Subsequently, it was found
that the line was too thin, and the boat was sent with a
stronger line, by two n.en named Coppin and Tranhan-.
As they were rowing to the buoy the Hope came up,
and cast, anchor near to the buoy ; but before the an-
chor had reached the ground, there were cries on board
the Hope, made by the prisoner and others, " heave
her up." The anchor was instantly drawn up, and
the intention of the crew was to take possession of the
anchor of the England ; but at the moment the Hope's
anchor slipped and broke away the buoy, and stove in
and broke the boat in which Coppin and Tranham were
rowing, to pieces. The sea was running high, and the
tide very strong at the time. I: further app- ared, that
when the men were cast Into the water, they drifted in
a direction towards the prisoner's ve sel, but instead of
his putt;ng out a boat to save them, he merely threw out
a rope, and they were unable, lions exhaustion, to take
hold c f it. He afterwards put out a boat, but they were
drifted to sea, and were drowned.
Fr r the defence it was stated, that before the boat of
the Aurora had put off, the Hope had anchored, and
that the boat of the Aurora was not capsized in conse-
quence of its coming in contact with the defendant's
anchor hawser, but in crnsequence ot the heavy sea and
strong tide.
Thu Jury found the defendant Guilty, sod be was ordered to be
imprisoned three months in Newgate.
