Tint Coavice fe;r, days ago, Hunt sent to Charles
Forster, the censtabie of Hickmansworth, liens, who apprehended
Probert and Thomas Thutted, with a particular request that he
would visit him at Woeiwich, as he had a communication to make
to him. Forster went to hint, and remained with him nearly two
hours. fluid complained of the " rascally" newspapers, as he
termed them, for stating that he had been put in double irons for
singing " Ad's Well," in the Chapel, which he said was a gross
falsehood; another invention propagated was, that he had allowed
his whiskers to grow to an enormous length ; the fact was, that he
had constantly shaved them oft since his arrival at Woolwich. For-
cer asked him it he had not been confined in the Hulks, and ironed,
for misconduct? and he declared that he never had, and the officers
Or overlookers in the yard confirm, d his statement. Hunt said that
torte Of the confessions attributed to him were not genuine. He
tied Forster " that a Mr. Holdiui was to have been murdered in
Ptobett's variant, on the same week hr was apprehended ; that he

the day alter the murder in Gill's Hill-lane, in the ditch by eke side
of the &LI through which tbo tinily was dragged by the assassins.
"Prs",T "n`P"sed the glove was one of Weare's; but notwithstand-

LENT' ASSIZES:
LINCOLN, MARCH . •
PARKER V. DAVY.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
Compensation in damages for the loss of the service of
his daughter. The appearance of the young Lady was
extremely prepossessing, and when put into the witness
box, her very modest and amiable demeanour excite.'
strong symptoms of sympathy in all who beheld her, I
excepting the seducer and his father. Miss Y.O ker is
the only daughter of very respectable parents. She is
between 16 and 17 yeara of ag.e, but appears much
older. During the whole examination she conducted
herself with great propriety, and without the least
ap-
pearance of affectation.

Mr. Serjeant Vairottast addressed the Jurv.—The
facts of the case are in a very narrow compass: and I
shall lay them before you from the mouth of the unfor-
tunate victim herself. The plaintiff, Gentlemen of .the
Jury, is a tanner, farmer, and maltster, in the parish
of Scawby, near Brigg, in this county, and tie de-
fendant is a farmer in the vicinity of the same place.—
Living near to each other; the families were on terms of
great intimacy. The defendant is a 'very young man,
Gentlemen,: and it is scarcely credible that one so
green in years should bit so grey in vice. lie is now
married; and at the very moment that he was endea-
vouring to accomplish the ruin of my client's danghter,i
he was actually on the point of marriage with another'
' woman. Finding he could not accomplish his,ends by
the ordinary means of seductioNhe told his unsuspect-:
ing victim that her father, who Wks averse to the con-
'Rectionovould never give his consent unless she became.
pregnant. He completed her 'ruin ; 'and tire family had'
no suspicions of this. man. He was in and out of the
house whenever he pleased. He possesed himself of
the poor girl's affections, completed her ruin, and then
fiend-like, cast her away fcr ever. At this moment of
time my client's daughter is not 17 years of age, but'
she is a perfect woman in her appearance,•and has been
so for two or three years. The acquaintance (,1 the
parties took place when she was not more than 13 or 14
years of age, and it continued to the spring of the last
year, when he accomplished his purpose and abaft.:
cloned her. The length of the intimacy proves that she
was not easily prevailed upon. .
Miss Parker, 'etamitied by Mr. CLAnKE, junior.—ls
the daughter of the plaintiff, who resides in the parish
of Scawby. Knows Thomas Davy. Has known him
four or five years. Is about sixteen years and a half old.
-Davy was intimate with her brother, and came to see
him when he was ill. Began to pay her particular at-:
tention about three or four-years since. He visited her
as a lover, to marry her. Has no sister. is an only.
daughter. Davy continued to pay her attentions till last
April. Their intimacy was known to her father and
mother, but her father objected to it. She at length
proved pregnant, and was confined on the 20th of last
December. Davy told her that her father would never
give his consent unless she was pregnant. The de-
fendant married the 19th of May last. Did not know
that he was going to be married. The woman he was
married to lived at Boston.

Cross-examined by Mr. RBADER.—He was seventeen
years of age when he proposed to marry her. This was
about three pears ago. ' Her father always objected to
it, but her mother did not. Her mother never shut the
windows when they were together. Never was locked in
by her.mother with Davy. He always came after her fa-
thei went tabed, but her mother sat up till he went.
Re-examined by Mr. CLARKE, junior.—She went to
a Chapel at Brigg, where she sometimes met Davy, and
they walked home together. Her mother asked Davy
why he came to see her (witness), and he said he in-
tended to marry her. He is now living upon a farm of.
his own at Redbourn

Mr. READER felt certain that they would not give
such damages as would ruin the young man, who was
a mere boy; and indeed the most moderate damages,
would satisfy the justice of the case.
Mr. Baron Htm.r.ocx chirged the Jury.—l-le'said, in
cases like this the amount of damages must have refer-
-*nee to the conduct of the offending party as well as
to his property. The defendant's conduct in marrying
another woman just after he had accomplished the ruin
of the daughter was a peculiar aggravation
of his offence. The mother, it appeared, approved of
the connection, although her father disapproved of it
but he saw nothing unnatural or improbable in that.—
She might think she was promoting her daughter's hap-
piness, and the father might be ut a diffetent opinion.
The parties were young, it was true; they would re-
collect the defendant had made a proposal of marriage
to the mother.—The Jury consulted for a few minutes,
and returned a verdict—Damages 3001. This verdict,
which would have been much more severe had the JOry
known that the defendant is a rich man, appeared to give
universal satisfaction to a very crowded Court.

WINCHESTER, MARCH 15.
SAVAGE, JUN. V. OODFACY AND /VIM
This action, for Breach of Promise of Marriage, had
for many days excited the expectations of those who are
fond of fun—it being thought that many circumstances
of a laughable nature would be elucidated in the couyse
of the trial. On this account, and because numerous
friends of berth par ties attended to hear the is'ue of the
cause, the Court was brimful of auditors. The facts
which were submitted to the consideration of the Jury
were chiefly as follow t—The plaintiff is in partnership
with, Or at least in the employ of, his father, a respect-
able hair-dresser at Romsey. The defendant, Mr. God-
frey, is the son of a grocer and tallow-chandler, in the
same town, and was married to the lady who is the
cause of the proceedings, and whose maiden name wa.,
Mary Ann Fryer, in the early part of last year. The
plaintiff had, for ten long years, paid his addresses to
Miss fryer, and, as will appear, received from her
reiterated promises that he was the happy man. The
defendant had pleaded the statute of limitations, but did
not resort to it on the trial. At the time the plaintiff
commenced his suit—not the present suit, but his suit
of love—Miss Fryer resided with an aged aunt, by thr
name of Jones. The old lady was, averse. to the connexion,
and the young couple were therefore compelled to have
recourse to secret meetings (in the cow•house, &c.)
through the assistance and confidential exertions of tilt
servant, Miss Elizabeth Judd, only 48 years old!. This
handmaid of .Cupid, and the plaintiff's sister, a ve.o,
decent and reputable-looking young woman, demi)
proved repeated promises' by Miss Fryer to marry the
plaintiff immediately on the death oilier aunt. - Alum:
Christmas, 182'2, Mrs. Jones died ; and her.will, which
was proved by Mr. Godfrey, as her executor, left Mist
Fryer the owner of some few thousands of 13t itish cpin.
The plaintiff, delicately refraining from personal intru-
sion too soon after the death of poor Mrs. Jones, sent his
sister abovementioned to Miss fryer, with every ex-
pression bf .undiminished affection :Miss Fryer re-

pouted her promises, never to be fulfilled! But why ?
—after ten years of fidelity, what potent cause could
change the mind of Mary Ann?—Mr.Godfrey hard retid
the aunt's will, and he fell in love with the faithless
legatee, who, too susceptible of his insinuating atten-
tions, withdrew her favour from the anxious Mi. Savage,
and placed her changed affections on her air n's exe-
cutor. The et-na-ship of, her secsind (..ve should say
next admirer) was much more brief, and much more
effective, than that of the deserted plaintiff. the May
of 1823, Miss Fryer became Mrs, Godfrey. " Savages
occupatioa's gone." His ter' years siege had all beers
spent in vain, and his patient declaiation that he would
gladly wait, " if it was twenty years longer,'! was now
of,no avail ! Every promise that Miss Fryer had made
even the sol,:ann vcrv, sanctified by -a ki.,s on .the
after lit had Leen t: eating her with ruin and wine, were
all viclated, arid the Flai,rtiff had no contra:gaols., save.
what the laws of his country might afford. Mr. Savage
is about 35 y ears of age, and earns eight shillings every- •
week ; and Mrs. Godfrey is in her 4.oth year, and of a
constitution not quite so strong as her. pocket. No
witnesses were called on behalt of the defendants; but
severe remarks on the.evidence were made, in a vein of
acute and ironical argument, of above an hour's dura-
tion, by Mr. C. F. W tr-Lrams, their aslvi,cate.
The Jury consulted a few minutes, and then coppen.

•. Benjamin Thomas, aged 'lB, was indictedon the
.Coroner's verdict for the wilflll murder of George Jones,
at Liverpool; on the 17th May. it appeared from the
evidence that on the day before mentioned, the prisoner
-was in the streets of-Liverpool in a drunken state, and
•challenging several person's to fight. The boys hearing
the disturbance he created, threw stones and brickbats,
which-very much exasperated him: he seized a knife •
from one of his fellows, and rushing into the crowd,
stabbed the deceased in the belly, of which wounds he
died two days after.
TheJurx returned a verdict of Manslaughter, and the
prisoner was sentenced td be transported for 14 years.
Prscrustn.—Mr. Justice PA RIC, in his charge at the
opening of the Worcester Assizes, said, a case of death
arising from fighting might be dither manslaughter or
Murder. Where a night was suffered to elapse between
the quarrel and the fight it would undoubtedly be
murder; and if ever such a case should Come before
him, he should consider it his duty to' leave both the
seconds, as-well as the principal, for execution. His
Lordship then alluded to the late fight near Worcester,
and to the death of Mr. Titituv, of Covent•Gardert
Theatre; occa%ioned by the. falling of the scaffolding
erected for the unlawful and wicked 'purpose of witness-
ing a prize fight. it was proper that they should know
that this was a high offence, and that the blame must
light on those who had the power of Magistracy and
ought to have prevented it. He was no respecter of
persons, and knew not whether it would fall on the
Magistracy of the County or City ; he believed on both
—he cared not which. EUere one of- the City Magis-
trates rose, but his Lordship said, " I cannot hear you,
Sir." 2 lie was also sorry to understand that the erec-
tion of the scaffoldi, which occupied three days, although
so insecurely put up, was proceeded with on that sacred
day, which ought to have been dedicated to GOD.
At the last Trim Assizes, a family case was tried, in-
volving property to the amount of tywards of £200,000.
it was an ejectment on the Title, for recovery of the
real estates of the-late Smkrtkt. I.To:)Pritco, Esq. of Low-
town in the County of Meath, brought by the Misses
DonorizzA and Caro ERINE DOPING, as his co-heiresses
at law, against ANTHONY JOHN DOPPING, Esq. who
claimed those estates under a will executed by the said
SANIUEL llopprszo, bearing date the 25th November,
1820. This will the plaintiffs alleged to be a forgery,.
and the question at issue was, whether tli,e will was
genuine or fabricated. At the conclusion of the defend.
ants case, Mr. BLACKBURN E, who had been• brought
down specially by the plaintiffs, rose, and said, that on
consultation with the other Gentlemen Concerned with
him, they had come to the determination of submitting
to a nonsuit, it being admitted that the will had been
most satisfactorily proved. This onia:-aucement was
received by the loudest acclamation and cheering, in-
deed, to such an extent was it 'carried, that tile Judge
was obliged to inter fere to suppress it. The crowds of
tenantry who were waiting the issue, outside the CouFt-
house, caught the sounds of the cheering within) 'And
the streets of Trim presented the greatest Scene of Jo-.
mult and rejoicing.

lication only amounts to (at 3s. 6J. eacho 944 3s. Ode and
this is. independent of Stamp duty, and-the- Excise duty

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK.LANE, MARCH 15.
The arrivals of last week
.were goOd, patricianly of Oats. This
morning there are tolerable good -quantities of 'Wheat, Barley,
Beans, and Peas, from Essex and Kent, hut not mach from Suffolk.
There are several additional vessels up front the North with Oats.
The continued stagnation of our. Flour trade still prevents our mil-
lers from buying Wheat, and this article hasslecliued in value Is. to
21. per quarter, with a dull trade. Barley sells heavily on the terms
last quoted. Having some country orders for Bans, this article
fully maintains the terms of last Monday.. Grey Peas also support
last quotations. Boiling Pea meet a very heavy sale, and they
are rather cheaper. The large arrival of Irish Oats has bad such an
effect on our buyers'sminds, that they will purchase scarcely any
Oats, and this article has in consequence tl.ereof declined in value
ls. to.s. per quarter. Clover Seed, of both kind:, continues very
dull, and still gives way in price.'
