" Celle, November V.O.
" Since I have been employed in this quarter of
the globe, I have travelled all through Sweden, over
the -Baltic to Stralsund, al! through Pomerania, leck-
lenburgh, Prussia, Saxony, Westphalia, and the Elec-
torate of tianovert and am now arrived here. Du-
ring those journies, those marches and • counter.

of the great Leiptic battle, than I can recollect to
tell you, or that your peaceful and happy mind would
wish to hear. We are now approaching Hamburgh,
and after Day.,usr has surrendered, I rather think
that we shall go into Hulland—..but all is uncertainty
here. Dresden has surrendered. What a change in
the affairs o' Europe I Advise all the discontented
to come over here, just to see a little variety and
misery. Depend upon it, bread and cheese in Old
England is a luxury to any thing that can be found
here. The Cnowa PRINCZ OF SWEDEN is a tine tellow

indeed, but his troops have nothing very remarkable
about them. We daily expect an action with DA.
vousr, as we are not more than 50 English miles
from: him. He has left his position in the environs •
of Lubeck, and has gone nearer Hamburgh. I have
been at Hanover ten days. That city is at present
very gay, in consequence of the new state of things.
The Cossacks are very singular fellows, I assure you,
and almost defy my powers of description. You will
see them leaded with plunder and provisions ; for in-
stance—a goose, a lyre, a few fowls, &c. It would be

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMSEIIt
HANNINGTON v. NICHOL&
This was an.action by which the plaintiff, the fa-
ther of a family of six children, arid a poor man,
sought to recover from the defendant, the proprietor
of a hackney coach, a compensation in damages for
an injury sustained by one of his children, an infant
about three years and a half old, in consequence of
the culpable negligence of the defendant's servant, in
riding over the child, in the month of July last, in
Edward-street; Cavendish-square.
It appeared ft om the evidence of the plaintiff, that
the street, at the particular part where the accident
happened, was broad enough to allow three coaches
to pass abreast, but that.thek defendant's servant was
driving his conch close to the pavement, where the
child in question, and some other children, were play-
ing : the child was first observed, by some of the
persons who were passing, among the horses' feet,
who immediately called out to the coachman; but
his attention seemed at the moment to be engaged,
his head being turned towards the coach, as if he
were in the act of speaking to the person in it. The
coach, in consequence, ax.o not stopped in time to
prevent any serious injury, but the child was consi-
derably lacerated and maimed, the hind wheel of the
coach passing over it. The Apothecary who attended
the child proved, that be was for a considerable time
in a dangerous way, and in all probability would have
died, had not he (the Apothecary), from a feeling for
the mother who had formerly been his servant, called
in additional medical aid. The child, however, was
still lame.
On the part of the defendant, Mr. Swan, M. P.
who was in the cbaelt at the tithe the accident hap-
pened, gave evidence. He stated, that-the moment
he saw the child in danger, and heard a.crr given, he
pulled the check.rope, which the coachman imme-
,diately attended to, though the accident had by that
time taken place. The coachman was driving lei-
surely and properly at the time, nor did be see any
thing like negligence in Iris conduct, in consequence
of which he gave his address, in order that in case he
should be called on to answer for the accident- which
had taken place, he might have his testimony. , On
his cross-exathinntion" by the ATTURN EY•GENER ALI
'Mr. Swan admitted that he had not stopped to en-
quire into the situation of the child who had met with
the accident, Or the ability of the parents to procure
medical assistance fur their infant. He, lkowever,
aifterwardi Slist.his servant.

The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages £4O.
DALI ON v. sullen.

-Thi's was an action by which' the plaintiff sought to
recover a compensation for damage sustained in his
property, through the carelessness of the defendant's;
iervun.w. The plaintiff vias'owner of the barge Bro-1
theta ; the ;4eferidant, proprietor of the brig-collier
131a4ket and Ridley, of North Shields. The Brothers,'
it appeared, was lying in the River, preparatory to
going pp the-Surrey Canal, and, waiting for the tide,
had mimed alongside a larger vessel, called the Pa-
,.uif.rch. Whilst lying in this situation, the 131ackett
and Ridley, in her way up the River came near the,
spot, and, although, she was repeatedly hailed and
cautioned of what she was about, she ran full fonl of
the Brothers, by which that vessel was materially in-
jured, and the repairs of her came to upwards of £2lO.
These facts were proved, and the Jury found a ver-
[ diet for the plaintiff--Damages £22, costs 40s.
utADon v. WIGItANI.
This was an action against the late Sheriff of Es-
sex, for havinr, made a false return. - The Sheriff, it
appeared, had' been directed to levy on the goods of
a person situated in his bailiwick, at the snit of the
plaintiff, for a debt of £lB5 ; instead of levying, how-
ever, he made a return nulla bona, though it appeared
there was more than sufficient property on the pre-
mises to have covered the debt. The defence set up
was an attempt to prove a previous act of bdnkruptcy.
This however failing, the Jury found a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages £lB5, and costs.

POLICE.

Quince- Ana.--Yesterday 7:Hadgee wait Awed
on suspici4 of having inflicted a blow no W. lawny,
by which he almost instantly expited! The deceased
was an Officer belonging to the above Office, and on
the morning of the 28th of April,lBo9, he was found I
dead within a few rods of his own lodging% In
support of this charge J. Cotton deposed, that he had
known the prisoner about five years. Some time in
the mouth of April or May, 1809, he came to a
house in the neighbourhood of Drury-lane, about
three o'clock in the morning, in company with one,
G. Little, who has since been transported for a rob-1
!vry. They had two parts of a leaden bust, which
they said they had stolen from the Greencoat School,
at Weitrninster; and further said, 44 We met Bill
Renny (meaning the deceased) coming along ; he
went to grab G. Little, but I went behind him, tipped
him a eittle on:, and floored him." Nett day witness
heard that Renny had been found dead ; in the even-
ing he saw the prisoner in St. Giles';, and told him
that Renny had been found dead, and that he (the
prisoner) had certainly murdered him. Prisoner re-
plied, 4, You are a b—y thief, and know nothing
about it."—Witness said the bust was carried to a
house in Charles-street, Drury-lane, and after being
cut into small pieces, taken to a house in Hopkias-
street, Sohn. He had since spoken to Little about
the murder, who answered, 44 Well, if it•be so, we
have done oar country service." Little had, how-
ever, since requested witness not to say any thing
about it, for if he did, they should both die. He also
confessed that Hodges had struck him on the head ;
but witness being' on terms of intimacy with them,
had never divulged the circumstance until now.—
Gilmore, the Officer, said that he saw Renny on the
night of the 27th of April, 1809, and he appeared
perfectly healthy, and quite sober. On the following
morning he found him dead, and believed his deat:,
was occasioned by a blow on the head. Sarah Oak-
ley proved the deceased being at her house on the
above day, iCnd his going. thence perfectly sober
about halt-past twelve o'clock.—Mr. R. B. Pollard,
Keeper of the Greencoat School, said, that a bust of
Charles I. was stolen from the school-house on the
day above-mentioned,—The examination lasted four
hours, and the prisoner was remanded.

the property forfeited.

tained during the day, and slept there. On the day
after- *he was gone, a watch was missed, and on her
being charged with raking it, she confessed it. Being
I given into the custo y of Bacon, he searched b •r,
;and found a pa wabrc ::er's duplicate for a gold watc:t,
which was pledged at Mr. Thimber's, a pawnbroker,

strange man in the house. He asked him his business,
when he replied, that he was master-taylor, and
had called for '45 which was owing him by Mr.
Price, an attorney, who lodged there, for clothes.--
!No such person' living there, Mr. Brown had strung
suspicion that he had entered !he house with a felo-
! niou.. intent ; he theretore detained him, and gave
him into the custody of Donaldson. the constable,
who brought him to the Office, where he said his
tratne was Benjamin Williams, and that he was a
master taylor, residing in Holborn-place. Lack, one
