Mr. BOLLAND answered, the 7th of March last.

Yes," said Mr. Adolphus, « and upon that affi-
davit my client was taken into custody, and bound
over to keep the peace towards the Prifice, himself
in 4001. and two sureties in 2001. each ; and, althOtigh
the Prince received no annoyance from Mdnsieur de
Bettera from that time, my Learned Friend comes
forward and modestly claims the detention of this
Gentleman for upwards of two months. As to the
affidavit of Mrs. Percy, it appears to arhount• to
nothing ; for how could she understand the bluster-
ing of his client in 'German ? And the, affidavit of
Mr. Wright, the surgeon, was worse than nothing in
behalf of this puissant Prince; in the whole course of
my practice I never read nor heard of such a request
being put forward upon such affidavits."—The
Learned Gentleman, in strong language, asked why
the Prince Esterhaty had allowed a whole Term to
expire without applying to the Court of -King's
Bench? Surely Mrs. Percy was not so ill,' but she
might, during the last Term have gone to the Court
above and made the necessary affidavit. But this
would not answer the pqrpose intended by the prose-
secutor of his client. _ _

Mr. BoLLARD attempted to account for articles

•
bf the peace not being:exhibited against Monsieur de'
Bettera, but was interrupted by •
Mr. ADOLPHUS, who =quested the production of•
the commitment, and argued from
it. It appeared
'evident that there was :endue influence used some-
where against his client.
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Bevil]) said, that from the
whole of the case, as stated by Mr. Bolland, no satis-
factory answer was given to the prisoner's Counsel
for articles of the peace not having been exhibited
during last Term ; and certainly, upon the affidavits
exhibited, the Bench would not be borne out. in de-
taining the prisoner in jail till the next Session.
Mr. BOLLAND did not require 'that Monsieur de
Bettera should remain in prison for two months,. but
that he should give new securities upon his commit-
ment of the 20th of May.
Mr. ADOLPHUS now took a general view of the
whole case, arguing, from the Laws and Constitu-
tion of England, that nothing short of oppression
somewhere could have kept the prisoner in jail from
the 20th of May until the present time, when he had
clearly shewn that, on the 7th of March, he had en-
tered into sureties towards the Prince Esterhaty, and
that not even the shadow of proof was offered of
committing in any way a breach of his recognizance.
The prisoner was committed to the Sessions. He was
now here ready to take his trial, and why did not his
prosecutor come forward like a brave man, and pro-
secute? Did Prince Esterhazy suppose that Englund
was filled with Bastilles, as other countries which
might be mentioned ? He would tell that Prince, that
neither he, nor all the Princes upon earth, no, not our
Lord the King, could keep his client any longer im-
mured in a prison ; the Learned Gentleman con-
cluded by requesting the immediate discharge of:,
Monsieur de Bettera.
Here Mr. Maule, of the Treasury, who sat on the
Bench, inquired the practice in such cases.
The CHAIRMAN said he would,. as a matter of
course, be discharged at the end of the Sessions.
Mr. ADOLPHUS here temarked, that if his client
had been a common individual, he would have been
forthwith discharged.
The prisoner was then removed from the Court in
the custody of the turnkey.

MURDER TATE.AORDINARY !
•
Mawszns-liouse..—Thursday an Irit•hwoman, named Fatty
Creedon, charged her husband for having kilt her on Satur-
day night.
• She stated to Mr. Alderman Cox that her villain of a husband
was in :he habit of " niaciating" her, and " tearing her limb
rrorn limb," and that he had often " cut her to piece. ;" but, in
particular on Saturday when he quite Lilt her, and she never
more expected to go about, she felt so destroyed in her inside.
Mr. Alderman Cox desired the woman to describe her cruel
husband's conduct more correctly; for, badly as he might have
acted, the object of his inhumanity was still in the land of the

living, thank Goa.
Airs. Creedon persisted in saying that her. husband had Elt
her, and she Wondered how any one could think otherwise who
beard her say •that he had " maciated" her.
Mr. Alderman Cox was at a loss for the exact meaning of the
word " niviate," but Mrs. Creedon's husband explained it by
shewiag the marks of nails upon his tsce, which his partner had
scratched into a comparison, with the Indian'tattooing. lle said
his wife had put him in that condition, and that he never in his
life kilt her. • .

Mrs. Creeclon—Oh ! Paddy, how can you say that, when you
know, and the Lon n knows, that you kilt me a thousand times?
sure, you're always murthering
Mr. Creedon—Well, and how can I kelp it; aent you al-
ways murthering and masticating me? •
Mrs. Creedon—Never, Paddy Creedon, never, but when you
tles.irves it. Your Worship, i know what Paddy's about. I
keep him in victuals and drink, and, instead of keeping me, your
honour, be wants to keep a large big woman—the deceiver
Mr. Alderman Cox—Oh! o:,! now I see how it is. There's a
little jealousy in the case.
The husband declared there was a great deal. llis wife.was
a little &ask, and did'nt like to see him look at ;young woman ;
she had but a few days ago thrown a pail of dirty water over
him, and he thought he might give her a tap or two, and he did
so; he just touched her promiscuous, and she happened to fall.
Alderman Cox—Well, the best thing I can do is to bind you
both over. _ _

The wife vowed that she did not care what became of her, so
that her thief of a husband was locked up ; and the husband
thought any state happy from which his wife was excluded.—
They were ordered to rind bail, which failing to procure, they
were sent to the Compter, and ordered to be kept in separate
apartments. Tbe woman went away huzzaing, and swearing
that she would be master of Blister Creation yet.

Wednesday, a Midshipman and his Orderly, of the.
Coast Blockade Service, mentioned in our Paper of
the 13th inst. in the unfortunate affair rear Dynaa
church, were brought up for final examination before'
COLEMAN, Esq. Ratliff of Romney, and a full
Bench of Magistrates; w hen, after a full investiga;
tionof the whole transaction, the man was discharged,
but the Officer, Mr. Thomas liatnilton, fully com-
mitted to Dymchurch jail to take his trial for the wil-
ful murder ofJamet Cunley. A Crown Solicitor at
tended on behalf of the prisoner, and Mr. ELWYN, So-
licitor Of Hythe, for the relatives of the deceased.
Thursday, a waterman named Thomas Boucher,
Was summoned b 7 a MI.LALWASTER, for exacting
2s. for his bite from Temple-stairs to Vauxhall, the
legal fare being 9d. He was fined in the penalty
of 15s. and costs.

EFFECTUAL RELIEF.—There is, perhaps, nothing,
more tiktressing to the feelings °to (and mother, than to witness
the sufferings of her infant during the period of Dentition, and
to be incapable of affording it relief. Those, however, who have
seen the salutary effects of the AMERICAN Socernum Sraur, know
that it is in the power of that highly ♦alued medicine, to alleviate
the pain of their innocent and helpless offspring, and often 'to
snatch them from the jaws of death, when their teadeeframes are
inking under the ravages of fetter, or the thread of life is nearly
severed by the violent effects of convulsive paroxysms, brought
on by this operation of Nature. Numerous instances of its asto-
nishing efficacy are on record, and the Proprietors, Johnson and
Co. (late Johnson and Williams), 48, York-place, City-road,
readily afford to every inquirer the most ample proofs of its ex-
cellent qualities, by a reference to the testimony of many parties
of unquestionable respectability.—To be had of the Proprietors,
and of all the respectable Medicine Venders in Town and Coun-
try, at Es. 9d. per bottle.
ELEGANT GLASSES, FURNITURE, &c.—The No.
bility and Gentry are invited to • inspect the Ware-
rooms of COOPER and Sou, 93, Bishopsgate-Within,
where is exhibited an assortment of new and second-
hand Plate Glasses, admirably suited to every descrip-
tion of drawing or dining rooms. The prices are just

sions the alteratiod will be found equally important.

is thankfully acknowledged by the Proprietors. who,
in their endeavours to evince their gratitude, by ma-
nufacturing articles in a superior manner, at prices
suitable tb the times, hope to merit a continuance of
public. support. In the furniture department is com-
