guineas; that the delbOant Owl hint in!ca his stable;t
in Ridinghotue-lane Cana "that Byrne said, oa one
occasion, he hoped the defendant would send his horses
to stand at livery.
A person from the British Trois/kr proved the re-
ceiiit of the money stated in the account for advertise-
ments. • It was also proved that the premises Byrne
occupied were let, when he left, for fifty. guineas.
Mr. Toser was called and sworn, bustit appeared he
came only to speak to the character of Scott, who was
not examined.
Mr. C. Pntiurs—Pray, Sir, were you not prindpal operator to
the late Johanna Southcote ?—(Laughter).
The Lou Cuter Juersea—You need not answer that question,
it has nothing to do with this cause.
Witness—My Lord, I have no objection to answer it. I was—
(Loud laughter)—and I think it an honour of which I may boast
before the whole word—(C.ontiqued laughter).
The defendant concluded his evidence by putting in
two letters received from Byrne belore his arrival in
England.
Mr. C. PIIILLIPS, in his reply, charged the defendant
with improper conduct in making the plaintiff pay for
clerks to keep an account of the subscription. He con.
sidered the charge for rent an after-thought. The
defendant put him into the stables to keep the place
clean, and never had an idea of charging him with rent
before the action was brought.
The LORD CHITS JUSTICE, in his charge to the Jury,
said, the first question they had to consider was, what
amount the defendant bad actually received ? and, se-
condly, whether the sum the defendant admitted he had
received for the use of Byrne was the correct amount?
Had he received 1511. or less, before the plaintiff's
arrival ? The proof of his having received 1511. ap-
peared clear. A paper containing items of account was
delivered, according to the evidence of the daughter,
to Mrs. Byrne. A witness called for the defendant had
proved that he made that account, and that the entry
of 1511. was from the defendant's dictation. It appeared
that the paper was not to be delivered to the plaintiff,
but was intended for publication. Whether it was in-
tended fm the plaintiff or for publication, it was made
by the authority of the defendant, and was to be taken
as evidence aga-nst him. If the money received before
the plaintiff's arrival in England, in August, 1822,
amounted not to the sum in the-defendant's account,
but 1501. which the defendant acknowledged he re-
ceived, it would raise the plaintiff's demand to 2761.
The Learned Judge adverted to the evidence of Cobbett,
who had deposed, that the defendant admitted he had
1501. in his hands before Byrne came over. The Jury
had then to consider whether the defendant had made
out his claim to rent for the stables. If they thOught,
undrr all the circumstances, the set-off had been made
out, they would find for the defendant—if not, for
the plaintiff.
The Jury retired from the box, taking with them the papers,
and returued about null o'clor.korkk a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages, £153. ss.

MYSTERIOUS- 4E1F411?..

The following suspicious circumstances have been
communicated to Mr. Ktmstiot,t, the sitting Magistrate
at Bow-street, through the very active and zealous- en-
deavours of Colonel CLITUBROB, of Brentford :—On the
evening of the 25th March, a poor man. named Chad-
well, went to a public-house, called the Speaser's Arths,
on the Usbridge-road, in a state of thegreatest intoxica-
tion. It appeared that he had been paid a-s-mall sum
of -money that day, and, as he tetinned,. had indulged
himself rather freely in liquor. So completely was he
stupitied, that it was found necessary to carry him into
a stable. Having become rather sober, he rose and
'vent into the house.. While there, two waggoners, of
the Brackley waggon, enteted. &me chsagmernent
arose between them and the formet, and at length they
patted, leaving the poor man there. They drove on
some distance, when Chadwell,was:seen by the driver
of the Buckingham waggon to run past them. In two
minutes after the driver of the Buckingham waggon
found-Cbadwell lying dead, on the-ground: He-was
then removed to- the Spenser's Arms, which is. in the
village of Hanley, and-a Coroner's Inquest- held on the
body. No-marks, except' fr-broke on'the thighs, were
then observed, and the verdict sem—Died by thrvisita-
'litni of GOD. He was then taken-to Uxbridge. When
the persons usually employed in perforimag thd last
offices of the dead had stripped the corpse, a wound
was discoreted. on the gterin. Surgeons were imme-
diately sent-for, and the body-opened, and it was then
'perceiied that Abe wound extended from the groin to
the spine, and passed through an artery. This, they
were of opinion, would have caused the death of Chad-
well so instantaneously, that he would not have timei
to cry ont. The-corpse was carried back toli-lanweS,
and another Coroner's Jurr summoned to sit upon the
body. The verdict then was—WiYal Murder against
some person orpersons uninteins. Information was given
of these facts to Colonel CLITHEROII, and by bin dime-
lions the two waggoners of theßrackley waggon were
apprehended. Salts, one of tlsenr, who was driving at
the time, stated, that he bad seen the deceased run past
him ; he called out, and asked him where he was going?
The answer was, 44 I am jogging, or-running to Ux-
bridge." He saw no more of him until the body was
shewn him. It was proved by the driver of the Buck-
ingham waggon, that Sams had trotted -his horses down
the hill. This was denied by Satss. These being the
only facts proved by the witnesses, the waggoner% were
both discharged.
