THE N1N0.% THURTELL AND SNOWDON.

Mr. SCARLETT prayed the judgment of the Court
upon the defendants, who were found guilty at the
sittings after last Term, of a Conspiracy to defraud the
County Fire Office of the sum of, 1,9301. by setting fire
to a warehouse in Watling-street.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN moved that the verdict be
set aside, and a new it ial had, upon the ground that the
evidence did not justify the finding of the Jury. The
Learned Serjeant contended at considerable length, that
although there was evidence to convict John Thus tell
of a conspiracy to set the house on fire, there was no-
thing in evidence to bring home to the defendant Thomas
Thurtell any knowledge of such conspiracy, and upon
this ground he contended the defendant was entitled to
a new trial. As it was possible that the Court might
be of opinion that the arguments which he had just urged
ould not entitle him to a new trial, he should take this
opportunity of urging a few observations in mitigation
of punishment. The Learned Serjeant then shortly ad-
'dressed the Court in mitigation of punishment, and con.
eluded by expressing his firm conviction, that recent
circumstances would not operate upon the minds of their
lordships so as to deprive the defendant, Thomas
Thurtell, of thernercifol consideration of the Court.
Ihe affidavits of two medical men, stating at the time
of the fire Mrs. Thurtelrs life was despaired of, and that i
the defendant thurtelrs life would be endangered by
long imprisonment, were then put in and read, as were
also the affidavits of different persons who had known
Thurtell for years, and considered him to be an honest,
respectable man. .
Mr. GURNEY shortly addresied the Court in mitiga-
tion of punishment on behalf of Snowdon, and put in
the affidavits of several persons who had known him
for years, and had always, up to his connection with
the 'Mittens, considered him to be an honest, respect-
able man.

Mr. &Aar,Err having been beard in aggravation of
punishment;
Mr. Justice BATLIY proceeded to pass the sentence
of the Court.—Ne duty could be more painful to him
than that which he was bound to perform upon the pre-
sent occasion; but considering the enormity of the
offence of which the defendants stood convicted upon the
clearest evidence, the Court did not feel that they would
discharge their duty if they did not pass such a sentence
as.woold probably have the effect of deterring other
persons from committing such a crime. The Learned
Judge having made a few observations upon the conse-
quences which must follow such a crime, said, that the
Court having taken all the circumstances into their con-
sideration, cloth order and adjudge each of the defen-
dants to be imprisoned in his Majesty's Jail of Newgate
for the term of two years.

GAMING-HOUSES.
The ArrouNey-GENERAL moved for a rule to shew
cause why an Attorney of the Court should not restore
4501. to John Fielder, and also why his name should
not be struck off the rolls. He had taken die money
from Fielder in consideration of not calling for judg-
ment upon a conviction for keeping a gaming-house.
Fielder was after wai ds calkd up and received judgment.
*The Couar said he might take a rule for striking his
name off the rolls; but Fielder being a particeps criminis,
there could be no reason for restoring the money.
Rule granted to shew cause why the Attorney's name
should not be struck off the rolls.
TAR KING V. MANCHRR.
This was an indictment against the Editor of the Bris-
tol Mercury, for publishing in his journal two letters re-
flecting on the conduct of Sir Alexander Wilson. At
the trial, before Mr. Justice Burrough, the defendant
was convicted, and now in his absence, to which the
prosecutor consented, judgment was prayed.—. After the
Report had been read,
The Loan Culler JUSTICE suggested that the defendant should go
before the Master "with a view to the payment of such costs as he
should think just, Instead of receiving judgment.
Serjeant Put, fir the defendant, requested time to consult
his client, to whom he should earnestly recommend an acquiescence
in the proposal.
MA ADAK, for the prosecution, said be was instructed by Sir
Alexander Wilson to accede to anything which the Court should
deem right.
The Loan Caw Junes, after observing that Sir Alexander
Wilson did himself great credit by his conduct, ordered the case
to stand over tiii'Mooday, to give an opportunity fur the arrange.
meat suggested.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Mr. J. EVANS moved for a Rule to strew cause why
a criminal information should not be filed against Ro-
bert Lings, Gentleman, an attorney of Lincoln, for en-
deavouring to excite Mr. Gresham, another attorney of
the same city, to commit a breach of the peace. It ap.l
geared from the Learned Counsel's statement, that a-1,
Mr. Fisher had sent Mr. Gresham a challenge to fight
a duel. The latter having paid no attention to the hos-
tile message, was met a short time afterwards in the
market-place of Lincoln, by Mr. Lings, who pulled out
of his pocket a pair of pistols and some bullets, and

threatened that if he did not give Mr. Fisher the meet-
leg required, be would. post him through the city. Un-
der these circuinstaaces, Mr. Gresham applied for the
protection of the Court.
The LOAD Cum 'ann.—As you say that both pinks me
attondes of this Court, you may take a Rule to shew cause.—Role
Nid granted.
THZ KING v. CRIBB AtO ANOTHER. -
This was an application to the Court, made by Mr.
Htrrcnitssotr, for a Role to shew cause why an -id(
'mation in the nature of quo tvarranto should not be
granted to shew by what authority the above individudi
claimed to use and exercise the office of Commissioners
of the Court Or Requests for the City and Liberty of
Westminster. It appeged from the statement of Mr:
Hutchinson, that by the Statute of the 23d of George IL
(the Act establishing the Court of Requests for the City
and Liberty of Westminster), the several and respective
parishes, who had a right to assemble in vestry within
their respective parishes, within the City and Liberty of
Westminster, were respectively empowered and required
to meet en the Ist day of May in every year, providing
the same should not fall on a Sunday, in the several
and respective vestries, in every of their respective
parishes, and nominate and assign in• the whole, the
number of 242 of the most substantial and discreet per.
sons residing within their respective parishes, who were
to be Commissioners for the purposes of the said Act,
_

of which said number of 242, the parish of St. Paul,
Covent-Garden, were to nominate and appoint 20. Mr.
HutcT:inson then stated, that no vestry meeting what-
ever had been called in the parish of St. Paul, Covent-
Garden, pursuant to the terms of the said Act : but, not-
withstanding, the names of '2O individuals had been re-
turned by the vestry clerk, and among such names ap-
peared his own name.—The Court, on this statement,
immediately granted the Rule. _ _

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNR
Thomas Hammond Terry was opposed by Mr.ll EA TIT,
on behalf of Mr. Henry Collard, one of his M ajesty's Dis-1
tr ibutors of Stamps in the "district of East Kent.
The insolvent, it appeared, had been in the employ
of Mr. Collard, as sub-distributor and agent, in ' horn
he rerosed great confidence; but it appealed in the end
that he became a very considerable defaulter, and it
was on the ground of till) deficiency that the present
opposition was made to the defendant's discharge.
On his examination by Mr. HEATII, the insolvent ad-
mitted that he borrowed 301. of a Mr. Jeffrey, with
whom he deposited a box, containing the will of his
grandmother, and other documents relative to his own
and his family's affairs.
On reference to this schedule, it appeared that no
mention or allusion was made of these papers, as re-
quired by Act of Parliament. He denied that he told
Mr. Jeffley that the will contained a bequest from his
grandmother to him of 1,8001. three per Cent. Consols,
or that he received any money from him at the time he
made the deposit.
Mr. HEATH called on Mr. Jeffrey, who had been sub-
poenaed, to produce the box, but he refused to be sworn
unless his travelling expenses were first paid. His de-
mand, however, was such, that the other party would
not consent,'and Mr. Heath therefore proceeded with
the insolvent, who went on to state that the original
will was in the box, but he had not administered to it
for want of funds. Ile never went by the name of Terry,
but was known only by the name of Thomas Ham-
mond. Ile had' advertised his present application in
his proper name, adding, that- he was sued a, Thomas
Hammond. His debts amounted to upwards of 5.(X)0/.
bet for 3,0001. he had never received any consideration.

_ .
Mr. HILITH submitted that the• insolvent ILd misdescribed him-
self, and that he must rr•advertise. The onus lay on him to pro-
duce the will, Etc. as it was evidently a document available under
his assignments. The Learned Gentleman informed the insolvent
that he would be expected to produce all certificates, accounts, ace.
as be•might expect a fall and particular examination.
The insolvent was then remanded to his former custody.
THE FREAC.I7 PRETENDER.

We have received from Pot tsmouth a letter, of which
we give a translation, on the subject of the new claimant
of the French Cs own. The letter is forwarded to us
through a medium which removes all doubt of its au-
thenticity Mr. Editor-.ln your Journal of the 18th
of this month, you inserted a protest, signed 4 Chat les X.
King of France and Navarre,' which had been pub-
lished on the 19th of May last, in the National In.
telligencer, printed at Washington in the United
States. The person whose signature appears to this
act of insanity is my legitimate brother : and though it
is painful to me to make known publicly the real state
of his mind, I have determined to do it ; preferring
that my brother shou!d pass for what he really is, than to
suffer it to be believed that he is a vile and despicable
impostor: there ate, besides, in France certain journals
in which the spirit of party predominates over all the
sentiments of generosity, and often even of honesty,
which will not fail to publish this piece without any re-
gard to the inconveniences and persecutions which it
might draw down on my unfortunate family, which has
already had its abundant share of both. I venture,
therefore, to hope, Mr. Editor, from your honourable
character, the insertion of my letter in your respectable
journal. Ilere, then, are succinctly detailed the exact
facts of the political and military life of my unhappy
brother. Victor, which is his name by baptism, was
born in 1790, at Ennezat, in the department of the Puy-
de-dome, in the house of his father. He entered the
service of his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon in 1807 :
after having served successively in the 25th and 29th
Chasseurs-a-cheval, he entered the Imperial Guard. A
ball which passed through his head, and other wounds,
with the frost,from which he suffered much in the fatal t e•
treat from Moscow, caused gi eat derangement of mind. In
1816 he,was put on half-pay, and returned to his family.
Three years were sufficient for him to dissipate entirely
a handsome patrimony left him by his legitimate father.
In 1818, while out hunting, he was accosted by a bri-
gade of gendarmerie, who insolently bade him produce
his license (port rfarrncs) or give up his gun : he had
not his licefise, and still less any disposition to give up
his gun: the gendarmes had the audacity to attack
him; he fired, and one of them was severely wounded.
He was, however, disarmed (there was no resisting su-
perior force), and carried to prison, where he remained
about three months ; be was then brought to trial, and
very fortunately for him, as well as for my afflicted
family, a Jury was found miraculously composed of
moderate and generous men: he was unanimously ac-
quitted. After this lamentable affair, he set off for the
purpose of joining me among the Independent party in
America, where I was then serving. It appears that he
went to the Isle of Cuba, sad that the barbarous treat-
ment which be there experienced from the Spanish
Governor has entirely turned his brain ; otherwise, be
was not of a disposition to renounce his family.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your respectful servant,

We regret to barn that this distinguished' Mut Airtsl
seised wth a violent iit or insanity on Saturday. Ou
Friday night he played Othello, and in some passages is
said to hortheen inimitably fine, while in others it wilt
thought- by some he was igrninic the character of the
Moor into burlesque. In the dying scene he even ex-
celled himself. But before the drop of the curtain, he
turned over facing the audience, raised his head upon
his hand, and said—" There, what do you think of
that?" These circumstances were looked upon as very
strange at the moment ; but no further notice was taken
of it at the time. About 11 o'clock on Saturday, he
was in the entrance of the theatre, conversing with
Mr. Woodhull, when, suddenly, but with an air of calm-
ness, he said to Woodhull, " I must cut somebody's
throat to-day, and whom shall I take? Shall it be
Wallack, or yourself, or who ?"—Woodlitill asked him
what he meant? ig Why, I mean what I say," replied
Booth. Woodhull then observed that he was grasping
a dagger under his coat ; and at the very ambient
Wallack passed along. Booth made a pass at him, but
as Woodhull called him at the same instant, by turning
round, the blow missed its object. Wallack then rushed
into the street, and Booth after him ; and Woodhull
after him. Booth gained upon Walla& k, and just as he
was making a plunge at his back, Wallack providentially
stumbled and fell, and Booth passed over him. He was
then seized, disarmed, and secured. In the evening he
was taken to the house of a friend, where he is treated
with every kindness and attention. He has become
tranquil, and it is hoped that he will soo*ecover from
this painful indisposition. ENliss Johnson, in Ma mono ,
certainly ran a risk of being murdered by the jealous
Moor in good earnest, and may felicitate herself- upon

POLICE IN IEL LIGENCE.

DOW-STREET.

Mr. MARTIN AND TIM lacurrassas.--,Tanses Harris appeared
upon summons, to shrw cause why he should not be fined, under
Mr. Martin's Act, for cruelty to a horse.
The information W 34 laid by Mr. Martin hirtiself, and he de-
posed,
that Olt a certain day minted, he SAW, with his own eyes,
this James I larris wantonly and cruelly flogging a horse, which
horse was drawing a fire-engine (returning from a fire) ; and though
the helm wanted no flogging at all, he struck it repeatedly over the
neck, " to make it emu' to him, as he said," added the Honourable
Member; • but if I know anything of the temper of a horse, flog-
ging is the exact way to make it go front ."
James I larris, the defendant, is servant to a respectable lighter-
man on IlungertOrd wharf; and, when James (larris bad defended
himself from the charge, by declaring that he only laid the whip
over the horse's neck once, and that with a view to bring him round
the corner of a street, his master, the lighterman, took up the cud-
gels for him, zod said the charge was a most vexatious one. The
maa had been in his service • -teen years, during which time he
never had the slightest reason to complain of his want of humanity;
and as to the horse in question, it was quite unmanageable without
the whip.
" Aye, I know you," said Mr. Martin, interrupting him; " you
appeared as a witness against a horse once before."
" I did," replied the lighterman, " and this very horse, too;
and if I Ara, sure he would ever meet with !mar again, I'd sell him
to-morrow morning, sooner than be dragged out of my business in
this way."
" Why, my good fellow," said Mr. Martin, " your own wife,
when 1 called upon her, told me this man of your's was the most
ill-tempered fellow in all London!"
" She did not, Mr. Martin," replied the lighterman ; " she told
you the koree was ill-tempered, and you have changed it to the ,mw,
to answer your own purpose, Mr. Manin."
" No, no," said Mr. Martin, " it was the anon."

" It was the horse," said the hliterman.
" It was thr man," said Mr. Martin,—" I tell yon she said the
man was the most ill-tempered scoundrel in exist iice ; and an lir is
—I see it in his countenance !"

" Now, your Worship, I'll he jnelged by you," slid the angry
lighterman ; " here is Mr. Martin, and hear is my man (pointing to
each of them in turn), and let anybody look at their litz•lionnotati.s,
and tell me which is the best-humoured of the two?"
Sir It. baste said this was too delicate a question for him to de-
cide; and as Mr. Martin persisted in his sta./mem, that the defen-
dant had wantonly and cruelly beaten the horse, he had no alterna-
tive but inflicting the penalty.,
Defendant was accoedingly Med 10s. and costs, which the light-
erman paid, and then:felt the office very sulkily.
Ma. MARTIN EsSeli!—Pending the above business, Mr. Munden
entered the office, to while an odd half hour, and Sir RICHARD in-
troduced Mr. Alartil\ to him. Mr. Martin bowed, and so did Mr.
Munden; both of the\in looking as solemn and respectful as though
each thought the othei some awful unknown. " Don't you know
this Gentleman?" said Sir-Richard to Mr. Martin—" He is Mr.
Munden."—" fly G—n! and so it is!" exclaimed the Honourable
Senator—" I thought 1 had seen his face somewhere !"—" Hush,
Mr. Martin," said Sir Richard," swearing is finrable."—" liy G.-ti!
and so it is!' rejoined Mr. Martin, " and I'll pay the fine, too "
And so saying,. he threw down two half crowns, which Sir Richard
instantly dropped Into the office charity-box, to the great amuse-
ment of all present, and the admiration of Mr. Mundell.

Yesterday a young man of very genteel and fashionable appear.
ance was charged with assaulting one of the soldiers of the 2d Re-
giment of Foot Guards, and also one of the gate-keepers of Hyde
Park. The soldier stated, that he was employed that morning keep-
ing the ground at a review of the Guard, in Hyde Park, by his
Royal Highness the Duke of York and his Grace the I)uke of Wel-
lington ; and while on his post the defendant came up, and pushing
by him with violence, got into the space ordered to be kept clear;
and when the soldier attempted to turn him out, the defendant
struck him a desperate blow on the head with a large stick which
he carried in his hand; and when the gate-keeper, who witnessed
the outrage, interfered, the defendant also stuck him in a similar
manner. The gate-keeper confirmed the evidence of the soldier;
and the scrjeant of the soldier's company, who attended, said that
the orders to the soldiers keeping the ground were, to keep the
space chosen fur the review clear, but to do so with the greatest ci-
vility and forbearance towards the people. The defendant said, in
answer to the charge, that he should not deny the assault, but that
the soldier shoved him violently before he stuck him. The defen-
dant refused to give his name; on which the Magistrate ordered
him to be searched; which, after much resistance, was at length et-
fected.—He was remanded, and ordered to find bail for the assault.
. MARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE.
Yesterday, //eury Funs, the driver of a Paddington stage, was
brought up. charged with causing, by furious driving, the death of
a young child, named Francis Warren Francis, sun of the eminent
sculptor. It was stated- that the defendant. by pulling up, might
have avoided the catastrophe; but he called to the child repeatedly,
and it is supposed, as persons were calling at both sides of the street,
the child became bewildered, and had not time to escape before he
was knocked down by the horses and killed. He was removed
for another examination, and to await the decision of the Inquest.

GUILDHALL.
Captain Felix Mlnonogh, the author of The liernsitis London,
and Henry Druid, were brought up for re-examination before the
sitting Magistrate, Air. Alderman Tuosirsos, yesterday. The Of-
fice was crowded almost to suffocation.

A Gentleman from the house of Messrs. Mann, Ingram-court,
Fenchurch-street, attended as Solicitor fur the prisoners, and his
first request to the Magistrate was, that all the witnesses, with the
exception of Mr. Weaver himself, should be directed to withdraw.
This was accordingly complied with. The evidence taken on the
previous day was then read over, of which the Solicitor took very
copious notes. Fogg, the Marsha!man, then stated, that be had
ascertained that the Captain went to the Saraceee Mod, Soowhill,
early on Wednesday morning, and had a bed: he remained there
between three and four boors, and, on his departure, not limbs
any money about him, the porter of the inn accompanied his to
Mr. Vanes, Russell-street, where the Captain went in and sent
down the mow for the bed. Fogg kasha seen the led, the driver
of the chariot, No. 722, which had brought the party from the Ss.
loon to Holbsep, wino recollected easing the younger prisoner put-
ting a pocket bon his pocket just at the time that hit chariot
was called from disliked. He (Fogg) bad sheens him Mr. Weaver's
pocketbook, and Ind said that was the one he saw=be would
swear to It. • . •

This lad, wheat mixt is Wißim Kirby, was then called. He
correberated the predoes evidence as to what had passed in MI-
Went ridaithog Mr. Weaver's watch. While be war.
area and, mit at piny on the-footway, near the Salmi do a,

S

he sag Dodd phtting in* Ms pocket. Ilit.ilfahve't
Pod"l4lo"kinilm.t.lles*P. blosSish laid he did not. think that was
*lf the one lb saw • Vat more dirty. After touch qesfatioUing, he
aelthosOkdged that the due Fogg bad abeam to him the day before
was the tpid had, bht persisted that the one now pre.
i doted Ina the tune. Fogg Add, that the boy delerged the
art of pocketbook accurately before be *hewed It him. He dm
domed Mm Druid's own poeltet.bobb, a red one ; be said directly
that was sot It; sad on producing 11r. Weaver's, " That's it--l'U
swear to it a and the steel clasp *as hanging loose at the time."
The prevarication of the boy, vrtid still said he did not believe it
was the one, led to the stupleion that he had been tampered with ;
*however' swore that be had seen none of the patties since he
come to this Ogee.
The paper reed was produced, and Marnock note stated, tLat
* Ms* be law it in the bands of each of the prisoners ;
bet bp, it had fallen from the hands of Mr.'Weatter,
nil'heirwas thrown down by him, that he might hat* his bawls
at ha Me In the row. This evidence put an end to the surpi-
the Captain as far as related to the stealing of the Paitel.
The prisoners' Solicitor now desired to cross-examine Mr, Weaver,
assuring the Magistrate that he should be able to prate from hill;
the manner in which Druid became possessed of the pocket-book.
His questions, however, did not at all go to that point. Their ree-
f dewy was to draw from him such facts as to the manner in which
Ilse bed spent his time, and what he had drank front dinner to the
time theywere taken into custody, as would wars nt the inference that
he was not in a state of mind to render his testimony credible and
acceptable, but nothing was gained to shake his previous evidence.
During the time the Solicitor was pushing his cross-examination very
ationdy, as to whether he had not left the saloon with a female, Mr.
Weaver became much agitated, and nearly fainted. On his recd.
very, he appealed to the Magistrate. He was ready, he said. to an-
swer any questions that bore upon the facts of the robbery, but 4-
jetted to answering questions that affected his moral character. Ile
thought he was not bound to give an account how or where be %ptet
his time or his money; he would swear that no female that he was
with took his pocket-book.
Mr. Alderman Mout-ion thought the he ought to answer all
questions that went to forward the ends of justice, though he coo-
teased he did not see how this cross-examination was to account for
the pocket-book being found upon Druid ; and the course of exunii.
nation was not persisted in.
Gammage, another watchman, was then called ; but the o'dy
material fact elicited from him was, that the two prisoners want
aside and conversed together for some minutes, whilst Mr. Weaver
was .disputing with the coachman : the inference intended to he
drawn.frwn which was, that there had been alt opportunity of con-
veying away the notes.
Mr. Alderman THOM PSON said he had understood, from what the
Solicitor had intimated, that he would have accounted how the
pocket-book came into Druid's possession.. In that, however, to
had failed; nor had he, in his judgmeut, been able to shake any
part of the evidence in support of the charge. There was no dot::
but that a robbery had been committed, and a sufficient prima ft ti:
ease had, be thought, been made not, to warrant him in sending belt
the prisoners before a Jury. They were both together the whole
time, with the party rubbed, and the pocket. book was found upon
one of them. The Captain's coming voluntarily forward would have
its weight with the Jury, I set he did Hot think it sufficient to juttify
him in making any distinction between the cases of the two.
The prisoners and their Solicitor offered to call witnesses to the
respectability of their characters, but the Magistrate held that to be
unnecessary in the present stage of the inquiry, and both the pri-
soners were accordingly committed to Newgate, fur privately steal-
ing front the person.
It was whispered in the office, that the prisoner Druid was
Captain M‘Donogh's son, and the suspicion was singularly strength-
ened by the Solicitor more than once cJling hint Mr. Id' Donugh.
Some letters found in the pocket-book, with the name 11. M.
bl‘Donagh to them, it emed also to confirm the fact; but nothing
to that effect came out in evidence.

UNION-HALL
Yesterday, two young men. who gave their names ,ruhn Fitch,
alias Knatchbtdt, and Juka Stewart, were brought up, charged in
conjunction, with having robbed a Gentleman the preceding night,
in Vauxhall Gardens. Moth the prisoners were elegantly dressed.
Hall, the chief constable, stated, that having been informed ths
three or four very daring attempts at robbery had been made by
some pickpockets, who had introduced themselves into the Gar-
dens, notwithstanjing the vigilance of the officers under his disa-
tion, he desired a sharp look out to be kept for the offenders. Soon
afterwards he was proceeding along the Rotunda, when be observed
a Gentleman lamenting the loss of his pocket-book to some others
around him, and at the sane moment he saw the prisoner Stewart
stalking away quickly from the spot where the rubbery had been
committed. Ile at once suspected him to have beef concerned in
it, and took him into custody.--A few minutes afterwards, Cave, a
constable, brought the other prisoner, and on his being searched, a
blank check, and a purse, co ruining tti se sovereigns and tome
silver, were found iu his possession. lie ae:eled that the Gentleman
identified the check as part of the property stolen front him.
Alt. Donspierre stated, that nn the previous afternoon he went
to Cumberland Gardens to witness the sailing match, and while
there, noticed two men, genteelly dressed, both of whom appeared
to have some design upon him. He, its consequence, removed thir-
teen sovereigns front his pocket-book into his fob, leaving only twit
in the former, in his inside coat pocket. From these Gardens lie
proceeded to Vauxhall, but had not been there long when he
missed the pocket-book, containing a blank check, numbered efiti,
two sovereigns, and a promissory note fur 15,0U0 dollars, payable
w Demerara. Ile mentioned his loss to the chief constable, and
scarcely ten minutes had elapsed before the prisoner Fitch was ap-
prehended, and searched in his presence, and amongst other things,
the check now produced was found in his pocket. Jr. Dompiet re
here exhibited the coat, with the bottom past of the Inside pocket
an in the neatest manner, apparently with a sharp instrument.—
The prisoners were both remanded.

An Inquest was held on Tuesday, and, by adjourn-
ment, yesterday, at the King's Arms public-house,
Kentish Town, on the body of a boy named Robert
Williams, who was run over on Monday last by Gra-
ham's Kentish Town stage, as be was crossing the road
with a pitcher in his band. The coach was, in the opie
nion of the witnesses, driven very rapidly at the time,
some thought at the rate of seven or eight miles, whets
nine and ten miles an huur.—The wheels passed over
the boy's body, and he died soon afterwards.—There
was another coach on the road going very fast, but it
was not proved that they were racing.—The Jury le-
turned a verdict of Accidental Deatit, with a deodand
of Si. on the coach.—Mr.Grahain, after the verdict was
delivered, offered to pay the expenses of the deceased's
funeral. _
