ROYAL ileer.—Friday his MAJEWIT'S SUZAN/Mal tyrned out
a fine deer at 'Ashford. The day being fine the field of sportsmen
was numerous. The deer, at first starting, took towards Cher-
sey, making to the left, through the inclosures, where he ran
with great swiftness towards Walton-bridge, where he crossed
the Thames to the-eight of Weihridge, and took scion Me
country for Guildford, taking to the right back by Chobbam. In
the course of the duce the sportsmen and hounds had lost the
deer for some time, but found it again, and renewed the chase.
The deer then took along the Bagehot road, round by the Gol-
den Farmer's 11111, white he was goal taken. This remarkable
one deer ran nearly de hours, which caused the death of nurse a
the sportsmen's horses, the chase being so long, and the 'eon
men riding one ageinst another to prove who had t to best horses
The fire which we mentioned on Saturday to have broken out
at Mr. Bagster's, bookseller, in Paternoster-row, destroyed the
house, warehouse, and principal part of the stock. It happened
infonimately just as Mr. Bagster had fit ished a s .coed edition
of the Church Liturgy in eight languages, and a Polyglot edition
of the New Testameee in the modern languages. The stereeeps
plates of the Polyglot Bible are, it is hoped, preserved, haring
been placed in arched vaults, with iron doors.
Saturday morning a fire broke oat at the Three Mariners
public-house, at Bermondsey, .which was totally destroyed. A
large granary, belonging to Mr. Blackstone, was greatly de.
waged, and a quantity of grain therein consumed.
Early in the morning of Monday se'nnight, a fire broke net at
the Hon. Mrs. Stanhope's thatched cottage, Walham Green •
the greatest part of her furnityre, wardrobe, plate, trinkets,
*ere destroyed, none of which were insured. Her Ladyship
escaped unhurt, through the great exertions of her neighbours.
Mr. Watts, who had taken the house, had removed par: of his
property to a room on the ground floor, the whole of which was
Caved without the least injury.
Lutmerre.—Last night, an inquest was held on the body of
O'Brien.—John O'Brien, a shoemaker, and son of the
deceased, resided with his father and mother, in Joiner-stre,t,
and on a dispute arising on Saturday night, between the seaman
with whom be cohabited and his sister, he interfered, and even-
tually struck at the latter. His mother endeavoured to stop the
fray, but became herself the object of his fury, be holding her
up by one band whilst he struck her with the other, till his fa-
ther rescued her; when, on being parried to her bed, she shorty
expired. A surgeon stated, that upon openne the body, he found
no marks of violence, nor could he discover the immediate erne
*of death. After an inquiry, which lasted seven hours, the Jury
came to a verdict of—Natural Death.
An Inquest was lately held at South Brent, on a girl aged eight
years, daughter of Mr. John Crocker, farmer, whose de.:h
was caused by her falling into a furnace of wort nearly in a
boiling state; she languished eighteen boors after the accident.
Verdict—Accidental Death.

Nor ask what draught was there!

William Holmes was brought up and: his trial. pro-
ceeded in. He was charged with publishing a blas-
phemous and seditious libel of and concerning our
Lord the King, &c. ' •
John Parton, an officer of B'ow-street, praduced the
pamphlet, which he bad purchased from the defend-
ant in Carlile's shop.
Mr. Paisnraoars.--Vsre you not employed by Mr. Murray
or Mr. Sharpe in this business? Putton.—l certainly *as.
Mr. Pamonsaoser.—ls not Mr. Sharpe a Member of the
Constitutional Association? Porton—l believe that be is.
The Coulson Settassrr.—The belief of the witness is no-evi-1
denee.—Mr. PRINDIIRGASTo-..-I know that, my Lord.
The libel was then read ; it consisted of the same
pamphlet for which the other defendants were tried.
• Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the Jury for the de-
fendant, and dwelt with much force on the conduct
of the Society in prosecuting, rather than contending
against the opinions that had been broached by the
author.of the pamphlet in„question. He stated, that
the drfendant was a native of a remote part of the
'Pantry,- and had not been in the service of Carlile
awe than a few hours previous to bis being taken
into custody. The Learned Gentle Man, in the course
*of his address, made some remarks which called forth
the 'interference of the Court, and some warm dis-
cussion arose ; but it was finally ended by the decla-
ration of the Court, that Mr. Prendergast hid made
observations in which he was not warranted. The,
case being closed, the defendant asked—" My Lord,
may I now make any .objection?'' No answer being
returned, he complained that CoOper, the officer, was
not present, and declared that Parton had said that
he (the prisoner) was not the man who sold him the
pamphlet. This was denied by Putton. The prisoner
begged that his fellow defendant (the man, whose
name is unknown), might be called in proof of what
he bad asserted.
The COMMON SERJEANT said, he was certainly at
liberty to call any person whose evidence was admis-
sible, and if he named him he should be called.
Prisoner.—The person I mean is the man whose
name is unknown.
The Cosmos; Sattaaaar.—The Court will not take
the evidence of any man who will not give his name.
If he likes to give his name his testimor.y will then
be received.
Mr. Brown, the Keeper of Newgate, after a short
absence, said, the man whose name was unknown was
present, but that he would not give his name.
The Comma SERJEANT.—Then the Court cannot
hear him.
The defendant then said he had other witnesses to
tall, who would prove what he said to be true.
. Susannah Wright was called and sworn.—" I saw
Parton, the Spy, in the shop-, and he said, that is
not the man."'
The CO3IIIOII Ssaszarr.—What do you mean by Purton, the
Spy?—Witness. I mean by a spy, a person who goes about en-
trapping_ men into the sale of works which they chum to call
seditious.

. _
having met the defendant is a stage-coach, became
very much interested by her appearance and manner.
This interest led to.a connexion of a tender nature
between the parties, in consequence of. which he'
took a house for her near Staines; and having met,
by appointment at an upholsterer's, in Wimpole-
street, Cavendish-square, they ordered a quantity of
furniture, which was sent to this house; and as a se-
curity for the amount of this furniture, the defendant
handed*M'r. Hardy the bill and note in question; not-
withstanding which she had since been arrested for
the price of the furniture, and thrown into the
King's Bench Prison, where she remains at present.
Previously to her arrest she had found a fresh pro-
tector, and had ceased to be an object of interest to
the plaintiff, who is an old man.
A billet, written by the plaintiff, under the name
of Jones, was then read, making an assignation with
his " dear Maria" (the defendant), at an hotel in
Fleet-street, and congratulating her upon having
found a protector, to whom he begged her to offer
his thanks for his goodness to her, he himself being
now too old to have the pleasure of seeing her often:.
Another note, addressed by the plaintiff to the de-
fendant's Attorney, was read; but its contents were
unintelligible to the Court, which circumstance was
subsequently explained by
,the testimony of a Mr.
Morgan, who stated that the plaintiff's mind had
been in a state of imbecility for some time past,
from palsy,—Mrs. Lawson, a female servant who
had lived with Mrs. Blackbtarn, spoke to the fact of
her having seen the parties at the upholsterer's toge-
ther, ordering the furniture; but she knew nothing of
the consideration for which the bills were passed.
The LORD Clime JUSTICE having read over the
evidence to the Jury, said that it did not support the
'statement made on behalf of the defendant.
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages £340.
CIIILDERS b. BOULNOIS.
The plaintiff in this case is a slopseller, and sought
to recover £650, as money alleged to have been lent
by him to the defendant, who is a sugar-baker. He
produced two I 0 U's signed by the defendant, one
for £4OO, the other for £250, addressed to nobody,
and without a date.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL objected to these docu-
ments being received in evidence, upon the ground
that they were accountable receipts, and, as such,
ought to he stamped, according to the proviiions of
tbe•last Stamp Act. '
The LORD CturrJUSTICE said he had always seen
such documents received unstamped, but would re-
serve the point for the decision of the Court above.
Little or no other evidence being given of the
existence of the debt, and the I 0 V* not sheaving
when, to whom, or for what they had been passed,
the Jury, without requiring the defendant's Counsel
to go into his case, found a verdict for the defendant.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
MEAEURN AND ANOTHER V. LECKIE.
Mr. Seijeant VAUGHAN stated that this was an ac-
tion brought against the defendant, to recover the
amount of his subscription to a policy of insurance
on the Lady Banks, for a voyage to Calcutta and
home, on which the plaintiffs had suffered a total loss.
The ship arrived safely at Calcutta, and there took
in some goods for Madras, which she delivered at
the latter place, and the next day encountered a g, ale
which strained her considerably. She shortly after-
wards sailed, and meeting with very bad weather,
was obliged to -put into the island of Mauritius, in
order to prevent her sinking, after the crew and pas-
sengers had been employed night and day at the
pumps, and were completely exhausted. She was
then surveyed, and the repairs necessary for the pro-
secution of the voyage were estimated at above £6,000,
the value of the ship being only £3400. Under these
'circumstances, the Captain, who Was ignorant of the
insurance of the ship, proceeded to a sale, and thus
put an end to the voyage.
Mr. Serjeant LENS, for the defendant, Submitted
that these facts did not warrant the sale, which could
only be resorted to in a case of strict necessity. The
plaintiffs therefore, were entitled but to an average loss.
Lord Chief Justice DALLAS, after stating that Lord
Ellenborough had held that " nothing could justify
a sale but extreme necessity and pure good faith,"
left it to them to say, first, whether the Captain had
acted for the benefit of all concerned ? Secondly,
whether the sale was conducted with perfect fair-
ness? and, thirdly, whethei that sale had been dic-
tated by extreme necessity?
The Jury retired for about half an hour, and then
returned a verdict for the plaintiffs for an average loss
only; answering the two first points in the affirma-
tive, and negativing the last.

The world may wreak Its will—
Akhe all else be dark, and drear,
-One fight is left me still!

Mr. Anotentrs then pointed to Harrison, the Marshalman,
and asked her which was the man she meant?—Witness. I
mean Purton.
Mr. Anotenos.—Did you ask Purton to dinner?—Witness.
bh! no ; indeed I did not.
Mr. AtioLenus.—Have you had the misfortune to have been
indicted for the publication of these works?—Witness. If you
call it a misfortune, I have. _ _

Mr. Anoiruns.:- well, in calling it a misfortune, I have used
the mildest term I could think of.—Witness. I stll have my
own opinion upon the subject.
Mr. Anoinsus.—Do you believe in the Holy Gospel ?—[The
Common-Serjeant also asked her if she believed in the Gospel,
on which she had sworn to speak the truth.]—Witness. I shall
not answer. When put, on nay trial, I may give my opinion
upon the subject.
Mr. ADOLPIIUS, in a further cross-examination, in
which the witness evinced an extraordinary degree of
acumen, reminded her, that, although she might not
believe in the Holy Bible, she was still amenable to
a prosecution for pei jury ; and he would advise her
to be cautious.—The witness said, she should adhere
to the truth.
The Commit Sseworr.—Attend to me. On your oath was,
not the person who is called " a man unknown," known by sonic
name or other in the shop ?—Witness. Yes, he was.
The Common Sicantaxv.—Did the prisoner cull him by the
carne name by which you knew him?—Witness. Yes, he did.
Harrison, the City Marshal man, was then examined
as to the caption of the prisoner, and stated that the
warrant had no name in it. He saw the pamphlet sold,
and took the prisoner into custody. The man without
a name immediately took the place of the pi isoner.
Mr. Anoixtrus shortly replied upon the evidence,
and remarked upon the refusal of the witness Wright
to declare as to-her belief in the Holy Bible.
The COMMON SZILIIIANT charged the Jury, and the
defendant was found Guilty, and sentenced to two
years' imprisonment, and at the end of that period to
enter into his own recognizance for £5OO for his good
behaviour during life.
From the lateness of the hour, the Court declined
going into the other cases, and adjourned to this day.

The Court of Assize at Paris has been occupied
with the trial of P. L. Collier, a jeweller, and ao-
tilde Chardin, a paintress in enamel, who were ac-
cused of making a formal attack on the order of suc-
cession to the Throne. The trial originated in the
following circumstance:
Oa the 2d of January last, two small golden lanterns were
seised in Ceitier's house, in the inside of which, by means of a
pivot, Ave different sides were exhibited, on which were the fol-
lowing devices and inscriptions :—On one of them, Weep,
Frew/mem, the Great man is no mon !" on the second, a pyrami-
dal tomb, shaded by a weeping willow ; ona third, 41 In Maus may
Dissents hare lighted his lamp op& i" on a fourth, the portrait of
a child, apparently about eight years old, with a drapery of three
different colours, above the portrait was the word Hope on the
fifth a pansy (pewee) interwoven with an amaranth (insissortelle).
The accused asserted that .the lanterns were made
on the occasion of the death of the Duke de aerry,
and the birth of the Duke de Bourdeaux, and that
the emblems were exclusively applicable to these
events.—The Attorney. General, 'MA RCHANCLIG main-
tained that the devices applied to Napoleon and his son.
The Jury found Cellier Guilty, and acquitted
Chardin. The former was sentenced to three months
,imprisonmentt and to pay a fine of 50 francs.

Caowas was a noted punster. Once, on a Circuit with Pans,
a person asked him if the Judge was not just behind? He re-
plied, " I don't know t but I am sure he was never jtot before!"
CONSPIRACY AGAINST LAWIMRS7--A We* York Paper says,
" A society has been formed' in Pltalield (Mass.), the members
of which are to refrain from going to law with their brethren,
and are required to settle all disputes between themselves, how-
ever important, by arbiters, selected from a Board created for
that purpose, who receive, as compensation, at the rate of
cents. per day. It is called The Adam's Patriode and Econo-
mical Society; and consists of 200 respectable citizens."
A family near Durham .a short time ago renew‘d the lease
of a farm they hold under the venerable Bishop of the diocese,
by paying 'Aisle, and putting in the life of a young man oT 17
years of age, who was shortly after drowned, and also Ms sister
at the same time, In the river Tees. This unfortunate circum.
stance rendered another renewal and fine to the amount of 3001.
necessary, which the worthy Prelate returned to the relative, of
the young man, in the most delicate and feeling nigniler.
