HARDENED DELINQUENT

Mrs. Mary Whittaker stated that she was aunt to the
plaintiff. Having herd that a ring had been purchased
by the defendani, she aAced him for what purpose he
bought it? and he anwered for the purpose of marrying
Miss Roebuck.
This was the plaintiff's case.
Mr. J. WiLumas addressed the Jury for the de-
fendant in mitigation of damages, and insisted that the
plaint ff herself, as well as ber family, were much to
blame for not ascertaining the sentiments f the de-
fendant before they allowed the connexion to go on so
long as it d;d. Toe defendant was a young man, with
all his passions about him, and if there h.id been error
upon his side, the plaintiff was at least not free herself
fiom blame when she surrendered to him the most es-
sential •irtue of her sex. How could he. in after life,
be certain that she would not be equally indulgent
to others?
Mr. Justice Barurr left the ease in the hands of the Jury,
who, after a few minutes' deliberation, found for the plaintiff—
Damages, £5OO.

Robert Moseley and Benjamin Morrill were charged
with the wilful murder of Jonathan Delpage, on the
30th September last, by giving him several severe blows
and kicks, of which he languished and died on the 10th
of October following.

Mr. COURTENAY stated the ease for the prosecution.
The deceased was an old man. nearly 68, and, on the
day laid in the indictment, left his house at Newton,
near Wakefield, to go into that town to see the Musical
Festival held there. After the company assembled in
the Church had separated, he proceeded on his way
home, and at a place called the Toll-bar, he was over-
taken by three men—the prisoners and an accomplice
named Sharp. They severely beat him ; knocked has
down; and pressing upon him with their knees, kept
him down instil they forced from him a canvas bag
containing some silver, aid then ran away. The poor
old man was found shortly after this supporting him-
self in great anguish against a gate on the road side,
and on being brought home related the particulars of
the attack, as would be fully given in evidence.
Witnesses tr.rted the facts.
• Mr. Justice lituatow summed up the evidence, and,
under the circuinstances, said the whole case must de-1

A few days before the execution of Jan Ingram on
Penenden Heath, Maidstone, for burglary, the son of
the Gentleman whose house at Barnwell he robbed,
caused inquities to be made of him at the jail, in the
hope of obtaining information as to the disposition of a
quantity of ttinkets, of little intrinsic value, but which,
if still entire, they would gladly have purchased at al-
most any price. These inquiries wete answered by the
following letter, the levity of which, when it is recol-
lected that it was written only two day s before his execu-
tion, will excite astonishment. As many of the slang
phrases would be unintelligible to a great part of our
Readers, we have supplied a glossary. The following
is the letter alluded to, and is given verbatim et literati's;
" Maideton Gaol, Dec. 28, 1824.
" sir—lt appears to me that you are desirous of knowing who
robbed your father's house, in Northamptousbire ; you, being a
Immo sector, I make no doubt but I can give you the wished-for
information :—After arriving at Barnwell. we proceeded to the
crib (house), and used an incision in the drawing-room jump
(window), facing the lawn, and little Davy, with myself,
being two good ferrite, proceeded through this room, and
through the grand hall-door, leading to the bock shuns, or
dooey's oportmoses (servants' rooms). I unscrewed the pantry
door with my own turnserew, and little Davy, who is no dirt,
stood at the bottom of the Jacob (stair-case), with the par-
lour poker in his hand, in case any one should come to lend as a
hand, to pay them for their trouble. In the meantime, I collected
as much sod, (plate) as we could well take away, and having done
this, mod our retreat the same way as we came. Davy wore away a
pair of mob-shells (shoes) that stood by the clock, and then we pro-
ceeded to the lane, by the fishpond : here we packed our lob
(booty), and dinged (threw) several things into the pond, and started
afresh through Thrapstooe. One and a half mile from this, we
pleated (buried the property), no great way off the spot where you
found Monsieur Dodson's tog (coat). (They found a coat in a wood).
Near this spot your gardener might raise a good erep with a little
trotleThey dug at this spot, but found uothing). From hence we
proceeded
to Higham, where we took a cup of slop (tea), and paid
half a bull (two shillings and sixpence), or sot and went towards the
we (road), by way of Olney and Newport Parnell ; a voile from
the latter town is the Canal; here we shipped ourselves on booed an
iron barge, and put the two ean(ores)tegether—l mean iron and sil-
ver. It was a fine smog. We arrived in the City Basin at seven o'clock
at night, after a two days' voyage, in safety. We mad the Captain
of the boom (boat) all right, mod sent one of the men for a doom
(coach), and had a drop of bite ruin at the back of the wharf, and
then we used fresh sail for Whitfield.atreet, Flusbury-square, No. —.
At this house Mr. Foss Moc Casinos lives, who no doubt was glad
to see us. We dosed here this night, and early next morning, Mr.
/Vern "fens took the wedge to the irettfoce num (the receiver).
ana 'wrench of us our mend, and told us to be careful, for the
pig-uses (ollicen) were op in antis, one of which had offered Philo
Ups ten fame (sovereigns) to say where he could pick us up. So
Davy started down to Welling, hearts, and I to Chatham, Kan ;
and Bob, who Is free of the City, remained behind with Sally Solo-
man, who is ow of the tribe of Benjamin. I beg to inform you
that I have drawn a bill on Mr. Abrahams. (the person at whose
house he committed the bury for which he was executed), o.

By the official returns laid before the Colombian Go-
vernment, it appears that the captures made from the
Spaniards, during the years 1823 and 1824, are as fop-
low ships, 17 brigs, 82 schooners, 14 ketches, lur
gers, and small craft.
It is stated that a camp of ten or twelve thousand
men will be formed in the vicinity of Rheims, at the
time of the Coronation of the King of FIANCE. The
Regiments of Infantry belonging to the nearest garri-
sons are to be encamped under tents, and the Cavalry
to be placed in cantonments, and the Ktno is to review
the whole after the ceremony of his Coronation shill
have been celebrated.
The Paymaster-&rjeant of the 31st Regiment of
Foot denies the vuth of a paragraph copied from tho!
Chester Chronicle„ stating that a Colour Serjeant of
that Regiment had abandoned his wife and family in
the awful distress of the burning of the Kent Indiaman.
