GREECE.

•
FROM THE *TV A& OF THURSDAY.
ILLGHOTtIi, JULY 22.
For a considerable time past we have had no arrivals
Porn the Levant. To-day a great number of vessels
came in at once, chiefly from the Back Sea. The Cap.
tain of an Austrian vessel left the Greek squadron
twenty days ago. The two hostile fleils wete in sight
of each ether. The Greeks had GO, and the Turks 80
raj!. This same Colrain had a co,versation with the'
lirtek Admiral, who was much afflicted at the news
received from the Mores, and told him that Tripolizzt
was qn the paint cf yiel Ing, because it was in want of
Plaviiins, and was blockaded by the Egyptian troops.
Ibe next day the Austrian Captain lost sight of the
two fleets, but be heard a heavy cannonade. The Cap-
trio of another Austrian vessel, who left Zante a fort-
night sago, tepotts, that news had been received
their, thot Ibrahim Nara had made himself mute:
of 1.f.:1'9 ifFa.
The emelt Otrenide announces the raising of the siege
of Miitaimigisi. The enemy's army, composed of 1.303-
/ii•ICS and Christians tif Upper Albania, had been 4-
•tackediand beaten at Viachori, and at t e passage of
the Acheloos. It is a& rued, that 11., dschid Pacha is
dead, last it was not known whether it was iii conse-
quence of a w'und or of sickness. On the 28th June
•t: a Gteek fleet had gained, as it was said, a decisive
tdVantage over the Ottoman fleet off Cape Malapao.
Capta:n Pacha arrived at :tilos on the Bth July,
w.th tis ships of war; the eighty vessels which he
c imruar.ded having been dispelled. . This news wants
contiitnatida.

This article from the Greek Chronicle is likewise in
Cie./eared des !Wrath as part of a vet y long letter from
Zinte, giving an account of theiff.ir cf the Morea,
and of the turn the, have isken in favour of the Turks.

A lett. r, from Napoli di Romania, dated the 18th of
June, states, that Odysseus, tired of awaiting the deci•
sion of the Greek Government as to his fate, Attempted
to escape lrom the citadel of Athens, in which he was
confide d. With this view he endeavoured to pass over
the wall by means of a rope. In descending it broke,
and he fell so great a distance that he never moved
lltd he lived a few days, he would have been
iitcluded in the general amnesty issued by the Greek
Covet nment.

T! is forensos we rcceired Brussels Papers to the•Sd
irsts TEe following is an extract:
•
A Royal Decree of 26th June, centains the following regulations s
—" Our Commissary-General of war, having laid before us a Re-
port. dated 28th April last, stating, that some Medical (Miceli of
the Army, in garrison in towns where there is an University, or
other Establishments in which medical instruction is given, after
having attended in these Universities or Establishments the neces- ,
szry lectures to obtain the degree of Doctor of Physic, or to be ad-
mitted as Physicians or Surgeons, and after having thus obtained
their degree or admission, solicit their discharge from the Army, in
coder to practise the profession according to the degree they have
obtained.

" Considering that in permitting a military medical offiser to
attend the lectures at an University, &c. it is by no means intended
to withdraw him from the military service and enable him to fel-
low civil practice, but that the butruction he has received may be
to the advantage of his practice as a military medical officer.

We have thought fit to decree—
" 1. That the faculties of medicine in the Universities shall not
admit medical officers of the army to the examinations required to
obtain the degree of doct‘r in these faculties, unless they are
auihorked by our Commissary General for each particular case
that may occur.

•` Y. In the rime manner, the medical boards in the provinces
shall not without a similar permission from the Commissary Gene-
ral, admit medical officers of the army as surgeons, accoucheura,
or apothecaries, either for the towns or the country.

"3. That the permission in question shall not be given by our
Commissary General, unless the military medical officer who soli-
cits it, shall pave engaged to continue his service as a milltar7 cur.
goon, &c. to the satisfaction of the Commissary General, for the
term of ten years, after having obtained his doctor's degree, or
having boon admitted by a provincial ntedkal board."

This forenoon we received Frankfurt Papers to the
30th ult. They contain no intelligence of a political nature, either
relating to Greece or elsewhere. Tires are still frequent on the
Continent. In the night of the tOth ult. a fire broke out at Berle-
burg, which, in consequence of the scarcity of water resulting
from the long drought, spread with great rapidity. In less than
an hour the greater part of the town fell a prey to the flames.—
One hundred and fifty-four houses and eighty-nine adjacent build-
ings were reduced to ashes, happily no person perished ; and
but a few cattle were lost, but a great many persons are reduced to
the greatest distress. •

By Caraccas PApers, which have arrived to the 23d
of June, it appears that an epidemic fever had raged for some time
In the 'allies of Aragus. Several meetings of the Municipality bad
taken place for the purpose of administering relief to the sufferers.'
and arresting the progress of the disease. Two hospitals were or-
dered to be established, and a subscription for supplying medicines,l
&c. to the poor was opened.

By the arrival of the Georgiana, from Bombay, and
the Morley, from Bengal, we have intelligence from
the former to the 14th of February, and from the latter
to the 17th of March. The accounts from the seat of
war are to the 15th cl February. By these we find
that that gallant and persevering Officer, Sir Atm-
nALD CAMIIIIML, had drawn his troops out of Ran-
boon, and put them forward on their march into the
enemy's country. On the 12th the camp was formed
eight miles from Rangoon, and on one of the days In.
mediately following, the troops were in motion with Sir
Atteiltax.tal at their head. The Commander-in-Chief
was'not'Able" io employ' the'vahole of his disposable
tree in.tbis expedition, owing to the difficulties and
delays which were encountered in bringing up Com-
missariat stores. The force actually in the field con-
sisted of about 1400 Europeans, a Regiment of Sepoys,
400 of the Governor-General's Body Guard, and
140 Horse Artillery, with twelve pieces of cannon.—

Besides the troops abovemeationed, the second di-
vision, about a thousand strong, under the command
of Brigadier• General COTTON, was speedily to embark
and proceed in boats up the river by Yain, Chan Zah,
and Duroben. Seven hundred men were deputed to
the capture of Basien, the only commercial town re-
maining in the hands of the Burmese. A juncture was
to be formed on the route with General Moantsots, who
was advancing steadily from Chittagong with a veteran
body of troops. Prolate is the point upon which the grand army was
to move 3 and here it was expected that Band**la, vrho has lately
received large reinforcemenM from Unserapoera, would endeavour
to dispute the advance of the British. Disheartened by the previous
achievements of the same army, and by the defection of the natives,
who were flocking in great numbers to place themselves under Bri-
tish protection, little doubt was entertained as to the fate of the
barbarian. We learn, however, that Captain GODWDI had made
an unsuccessful attack on a stockade about thirty miles from Ran.'
goon. General Mammal) camp was on the banks of the Majeeo
river on the lit of Much, waiting for the boats under Captain
Haves to cross the river. which was two miles broad at the place
where the army had assembled. There had been no further actions
with the Burmem.

His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCIDITaI ar-
rived at his residence, in Park-lane, ou Thursday evening, after
staying three weeks at Cheltenham.
The Duke of irVaLLINOTON landed at Calais on the
20th of July, at one o'clock in the afternoon. and a few hours
aG-r set out for the Netherlands with his suite, consisting of
nise persons. His Grace arrived at Ghent on Tuesdaf, from
Oudenarde, and after having inspected the fortifications; took the
road to Tremonde to continue his operations. .
It is reported in the City, that one of the Ramsgate
steam vessels, lying in the harbour there, caught fire yesterday, bat
it was soon extinguished.
I3elvoir Castle in the next month expects a Royal
.visit. The Duke of Yoax, and a party of sportsmen, will be
there, in addition to the usual visitors.

Princess POLIGNAG has issued cards of invitation for
a Rout on Monday next, at tier house in Portlsad.place.

salute of Bitten gluts front the NATROD cutter, which was returned
by the HEE.I.I.D u won as she gut under weigh. She proceeded to
sea with light winds. The wind has since proved contrary, which
must retard his Lordship's progress. On Saturday, the inhabitants
of Greencck gave an elegant public dinner to his Lordship. The
entertainment went off in line style. About 140 Gentlemen of

ACCIDENT* BY DRuFVNING.

..AMIN.••

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
Sut—lt having been stated in several Papers (in
sequence of a melancholy accident which happened by
drowning in the Thames, near Chiswick, where the
Duke of Devonshire, who witnessed it, humanely ren-1
deretl his personal auistance), that " the dross belOngal
ing to the Humane Society, kept at the Red Lion,
Chiswick, were immediately seat for, but they were not
in order, and consequently could not ,be used,".l am
directed by the Committee of the Royal Human! So-
ciety, to inform you, that the statement as to the drags
is erroneous, as the Society's drags are not kept at the
Red Lion, nor was any application ever made to the
Society by the proprietor of that house for them.
The Society have drag stations in very many placer,
where accidents are likely to happen, and have been
the means of saving many valuable lives ; and it would
be gratifying to the Committee, if the subscriptions to
the Society would enable them to extend the number.
I take the liberty of adding, that I know of no instance
of an application from a Subscriber to the Society, or
from a Minister or Churchwarden of a parish, to have
drags placed in any situation he pointed out, being
refused ; on the contrary, they have been cheerfully
complied with. It would be impossible for the Society,
out of its present subscriptions, to keep drags at every
public-house by the side of the river, canals, &c. be-
sides rewarding publicans for taking in boJies imme-
diately in all cases of accident, and apparent sudden
death, and to reward all the various claimants who
risk their lives to save those of others. The number of
claimants at the last monthly meeting was nearly one
hundred, for their exertions in saving lives from drown.
ing. The Committee will at all times he mo,t happy
to co-operate with the Clergyman or Officers of the
parishes, in guarding against the recurrence of those
fatal accidents which have been so numerous, by afford-
ing every assistance in the power of lite Society ; and
to this tnd I shall be glad to receive any communication
which the Clergymen or Parish Officers may be pleased
to make to me on the subject. Your inserting this letter
will greatly oblige, Mr. Editor, your obedient Servant,
J. FROST Secretary to the Royal Humane Society.

—The Jury, after being sworn, went 'to view the body of thede-

RIAL OP COLONEL BERKELEY 414)07111.26%
HEREFORD, AUGUST s.

JASPER TOMSETT JUDGE P. COLONRL SUMMIT, LORD
SUS.EX LENNOX, AND ROBERT CARR H AMMOND, ESQ.
This :ase was to have been tried at Gloucester, being
the county in which the subject-matter of the action
originated; but Mr. Judge having mgyed the Court
above to have the place of trial changed to Middlesex,
on his affidavit that he did not conceivs he would get
impartial justice done there, from the influence of one
of the defendants (Colonel Berkeley) enjoyed in it,
though the Court was of opinion t',ere a as not sufficitnt
grounds laid before them to induce it to grant the
motion, they directed the ttial to take.nlace here ; and
this day (Thursday) having been fixed for it, at an early
hour in the morning the Shire-hall was crowded to
ex.eis, by the Ladies an.] Gentlemen of this and the
neighbouting counties, anxious to witnrss the reiult.
The Special Jury list having been called cm,
Mr. C.Pstu.tra, leading Counsel for the plaintiff, addressed 'he
foreman, and said. " Sir, I ask you, as a man of Maur, have you
made any declaration prejudicial to my client, respecting this tri 11
Mr. Symmonds (after the confuSion excited by the question had
subsided)—l do not understand you.
Mr. TAUNTON here said the objection was most unusual with
respect to Special Jurors.
Mr. Justice Botorocort —The objection k most certainly ur.
usgal ; but I am sure that the Gentleman, if he made any such Lle.
claration, would have no objection to 'Lite he had.
Mr. PHIM.I7III—I can only say I have been instructed, Sir, ti:zr
you have made a strong declaration, and as a man of honour, I am
sure you will say whether you have or not.
Mr. Symmonds—l deny it.
Mr. Pitman—Then when you say so, am perfectly ;
and, as I have been so grossly misinformed, I think it rigbt

Should bare my authority. -
Mt. Pazurcitere was handing s. paper :cross the table to Mr.
' Sjmmoods, when
Mr. Jititiee Boaaouou objected to hi, doing so.
Mr. Penile(—My Lard, I feel it due to Mr. Symmondr he
should have the authority. (Adding to Mr. Synimonds in an tin.
ter tone..." You shall have It after the trial."). •
The Special Jury was that sworn, with two Wes:l.:en to in-Ate
up the number.
bir. LOCI:HART opened the plead ngs. The tieciara-
lion stated this was an action to recover compensation _
in damages frr an assault and battery committed by
the defendants on the person of the plaintiff, at his
house at Northfield-place, on the 14th March last; they
having then and there struck him with a ship several
heavy blows on the head, &c. with the butt-end and
lash, by which he was much cut) &c.
In the second count there was an averment, that the
defendants forcibly and violently committed a cornrows
assault. The damages were laid at 5,0001.
Mr. PHILLIPS exprea ed regret at having to detail the
particula's of an atroci.us, a brutal, and unmanly out.
rage; an outrage which not merely degraded the panics
implicated, but the entire class of society in which they
had been in the habit of moving. Mr. Judge was the
editor, and. part proprietor of the Cheltenham Journal; a
man of some literary attain-news; highly educated, a, d.
though not so highly born as some of the defend ints,
there was never yet a stain plated on his character.--
One of the defendants, Mr. Hammond, was a Gentiem n
of lortune, residing in Gloucestershire. Another, Lord
Sussex Lennox, was• a Gentleman in high station; a
Nobleman, connected with a ducal house, being son.or
the late, and brother to the pre,ent Duke of Rochmnnd,
and possessing largely of the fortune of that family.—
The th.rd defendant, William Fitzhardinge 13 rkeley.
was well known to the Jury, and was the propriet-r of
Berkeley eft:t7e, and at the head of £20,000 per yea-.
It would appear that Colonel 13 o ke:ey was offended at
something that was published in the paper of which Mr.
Judge was Editor; on this he did not resort to 1:117
for redress, but with the other defendants he e-er.glit
proper to go to the house of the pl iiraiff, arid commit
this outrage. They went there in the most disgrace-
ful manner, actually skulking behind coiner. of
streets, in lanes, and in passages, as would be proved
in evidence, deliberately and coolllf waiting for elm
moment when they could execute their purpose.---"
Lord Sussex Lennox went, about two o'clock, to the
house, 'and inquired of the maid servant for Mr. Judge.
The maid.sa'd he was not at horn-, and subsequently
Lord Sussex Lennox said he had a letter for Mr. Judge.
He arrived again at three o'cl.ick with a letter. He then
went alone; at that moment Colonel Berke, y was hid-
ing at the c rtair of Northfield-place with the other de-
fendant. They were all seen there together. Oa Lord
S. Lennox arriving at the house the maid told him Mr.
Judge was in his parlour, and he was shewa in. On
the instant Colonel Berkeley and Mr. Hammond rushed
after him. Their carry into the hou.e might be•
for they said it was on the business of the paper they
came about. The maid at that time heard Col.Be; keley
say, " I have come for an explanation respectiog your
conduct to me;" and Mr. Judge's reply, " Who.haire II
the honour of addressing ?" I am Co:onel Be; keley."
Upon which Mr. Judge said, any explanation he re-
quired he should have at.the Office. " No, Sir; no, Sir
—Now, now !" And here the gallant party, having
closed the door upon their 'min, commenced their
operations. Colonel Berkeley repe itedly lashed him
with his whip across the head, the eyes, and the face,
drawing blood at almost every stroke. Tie maid having
heard the cries of her master, with the blo..vs of the whip,
ran to the door; but to the honour of these courageous
Gentlemen, one (whether it was the Lord oc the Ger,-
tleman he knew not), kept it closed so that no one could
get in. They most inhumanly beat him, uutil they were
tired, and as Col. Berkeley used the vehitein the manner
described, whilst the others closed the doors, they aided
and assisted in this outrage. The Lady of ti-e
a Mrs. Morris, also tried to get in, but without effect;
and then for a short time the blows ceased; she over-
heard one of them say, " D—n him, he has got_
let him go now;" he was let. go. Gentlemen, he came
from the parlour into the hall stt canting with.bluoti ;
when, what followed ? Aftt r the inhuman treatmert
which they had already given the ode: tunate man,
after they had released him, when crying cut for help.
when striving to get to his bed, Lord Sussex Lennox
pulled him by the skirts of his coat back, the other took
him by the hair, and then they held him for Colonel
Berkeley to beat him, which he did mast unmercifully.
Mr Judge wore a wig, which was dragged off: When
the head was bare, Colonel Berkeley cut him repeated)!
over it, until la's eye and head became one mass of
blood. Colonel Berkeley having at length satisfied ltis
vengeance, went laughing r ff and boasiing of his

s strong was this fact, that the only proof he could
give this day of their identity was their own under-

themselves to any civil action, on condition that no

Let it not be, therefore, objected, that Mr. Judge was
influenced by pecuniary motives in bringing this aciion,
he had no. other means of tilting satisfaction. If the
case wanted more of aggravation, they would find it
in the place where it occurred—in a man's own house
before his menial servants—in that place which all were
-accustomed to regard as sacred. Who had dam! to

xi us conspirators, their verdict would say, fur a miti-
gated verdict would go far to do so. lie understood
that Colonel Berkeley meant to prove some provoca•
tion, that he had been libelled by the plaintiff. He
might have been irritated by reflections cast upon him.
Bit what excuse could the others. have?—Had they
been libelled ? Could they justify the manly part they
took in that abominable outrage? If a man is pro-
voked by reflections ca.t upon him, met the pent% who
cast them, in a public place, and there took his revenge,
such an occurrence might mi'igate, though it could not
justify such con!uct. But surely it could not justify
: uch an outrage as this. Had the blood which they
sa inhumanly shed, been the life bloud, as it might
have been, of Mr. Judge, they would have stood in a
different place for their trial, and if they were placed
:tt the bar, oh, what a happy defence would they have
Lad that a paragraph had appeared in a newspaper,
:Ind that they were irritated by it! The Jury would
by their verdict confer a public benefit on the country,
and would vindicate the rank in which those parties
snoved in society, from any paticipation in such con-
duct, and teach the world that no man should insult
she impartial justice of this tribunal.
An admission was here put in, whereby the Solicitors
or the defendants, in consideration of the plaintiff con-
senting not to prosecute criminally, admitted that Lord
Sussex Lennox and Robert Can Hammond, were the
persons who accompanied Colonel Berkeley to the house
of Mr. Judge on the 14th March.
Mary Curtis, a washerwoman was called, and proved
seeing Colonel Berkeley and two other Gentlemen go
into Mr. Judge's apartments, and hearing the blows
:tad the cries of Mr. Judge.

Eliz4beth laud, a servant of Mrs. Morris, at whose
house Mr. Judge lived, admired the three Gentlemen.
Heard the blows, and one of the Gentlemen say, "the
'areal—give it him well ; give it; he deserves it,
give it, give it." Tried to get into the room, but could
slot as it was fastened. Heard some one inside say.
" Let him out now ;he has had enough." Mr. Juige
then came out of the room ; his face was coveted with
blood, a hich was running down his cl.abes. Mr. Judge
made for the stairs, and got up two steps, when the
tall, thin, Gentlemen, who came to the door with the
setter, caught him by the skirts, and forcibly lulled
)tins back. Mr. Judge's wig was pulled off by some
hand, and Colonel Berkeley then cut him over the head
slnd eyes; the lashings of the whip left a blood-mai k on
the wall, about a foot long; there was blood in several
places on the grcund where he had been standing,
several very large spot;; they were together about one
coaster of an hour. Mr. Judge then went to his
parlotir, from whence he went to his bed-room; the
sofa in the parlour was marked in several placer. Mr.
.'udge was confined to his bed from the 14th of March
ahtii the 30th. A medical person attended him three
times a day for the first week.
Miss Mary Ann Morris's evidence to the same effect.
Mr. Stephen Hempstead Mirley, surgeon at Chelten-
ham, attended Mr. Judge at seven o'clock on the even-
ing of the 14th of Match. At that time he leeches
...were applied. The eyelid was swollen, and consider-
able inflammation about the eye. On the following
owning examined the ball of the eye. There was con-
siderable inflammation and some opacity (cloudiness)
.:n the consea (transparent parts of the eye). It was
,what was termed a haziness. There might be some
defect of the vision, but the opacity had been some
time declining. The lip was cut, and there was a whip
'mat k on the cheek. Mr. Judge expressed great
pain, and was rearly fainting. Saw him three times
ler a week, and having attened him fur ten days left
him in the care of a friend.

Mr. Ware, the oculist—Mr. Judge callei on me in
London en Monday week last, and I examined his
eye; the eye had then recovered from an inflamma-
tion it had, but these was a speck on the cornea, which
:night have been produced by a violent blow. There
will be for a long while, I fear, a slight mark on it.

James Wharton—l am a saddler in Cheltenham, and
recollect two Gentlemen calling on me to purchase a
whip. One of them said those I had were not heavy
enough. They asked for a jockey-whip.
Pott.urs—The one that cuts horses best?—Yes.
Witness—l know Captain Hammond was one: I believe Lord
Lennox was the other. They looked out the heaviest, and said if
they LAO not sot a bsavier they would return and take it ; they did
not return.

This was the else for the plaintiff.
Mr. TAUNTON spoke at length for the defeldants.
Mr. C. Pintail's replied. It had been said Colonel
Bet keley did this from respect to the feelings of an
saged mother. But was there not another whose hopes
lie :lad blasted, and whose feelings he must have recol-
lected. His affairs were the theme or every Journal.

Mr. Justice Iluitaotrag Summed up. All three of
the defendants jutted in the assault, and therefore a

LEICESTER ASSIZES, AUGUST s.
f rr 7 anna s Read. aged 36, was put to the bar, charged
under the Coroner', Inquisition, with the wilful murder
of her husband, James Read. The prisoner's appear-
ance bespoke the extreme of terror. She was pale, and,
so much agitated, that she could scarcely stand.
Mr. GOULBURN slated the facts of the case to the Jury.
Thomas Read, the brother of the deceased, deposed
that on the 6th of last March, the deceased took his
wife to live with him, a'ter she had been living with
one Waterfild, and had a child, which she confessed
to be his. The prisoner behaved ill to her hatband
afterwards.. On the Monday following the 21st April,
at 12 o'clock she sent for her husband to go with her
to Forton. At six o'clock on the same evening witness
was sent for by the prisoner, who told him that her hus-
band had run away from her mad. She said, in answer
to witness asking her what she meant, •' When we got
below Grimley, he began to dance and jump about as
if he was mad; then he damned and swore, and fell on
the grass, and tore it up with his hands; and after-
wards jumped up and ran as hard as he could to Deb-
dale.wharf. I went on the bridge to look after him."--
Witness said, ig Hannah, I fear you have pushed my
poor brother into the navigation, and have drowned
him. She cried our, 4, Good LORD, master, we were
never within a close's breadth of the navigation." Wit-
ness then gave her into the custody of a constable, and
employed persons to assist him in look;ng for his bro-
ther's body. On the following morning, as he was
dragging the canal, he pulled up his brother's corpse
from a bridge near Forton. She said afterwards that
he tumbled into the canal, about 20 yards from the
bridge, and that she held out his hat to try to save him.
Some witnesses deposed to threats-uttered by the pri-
soner, that she would do for her husband, and others to
their having been seen near the lock on the day the
latter was drowned.
The prisoner, in her defence, protested that she was
wholly innocent of the charge made against her, and
described her husband's conduct to have been frantic
and inexplicable, and that he had left her suddenly and
fallen into the river. .

The JUDGE summed up to the Jury, commencing
upon the circumstantial nature of the evidence, and re-
commending them to examine it with the most scru-
pulous attention, giving the ptisoner the benefit of their
doubts, if any should arise, respecting her guilt.
Alm deliberating a quarter f an hour, they pronounced a ver-
dict of Gorey.
The prisoner, who had anxiously watched the looks
of the .Jury during their consultation, fell into the arms
of the gaoler, and fainted when she heard the verdict.
She was recovered and placed again at the bar. The
Judge prOceeded to pass sentence of death upon her,
which she interrupted frequently by exclaiming, " For
Goo's sake forgive me l I hope your Lordship won't
hang me. Spare me for the sake of my six poor chil.
dren r The prisoner was ordered for execution on
Friday next.

After this his Lordship said, " Prisoner, are you with child?"
" I don't know." " Have you anything to say why execution
should be stayed r " I believe lam with child.
His Lordship ordered a Jury of matrons, but there being a mid-
suite with the' prisoner, who stated that she was not quick with
child, the Judge ordered her fur execution.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

&MOM LUNATIC).
•

6,-
FIFTH DAY_
_ __.
The iiillieidisigl Commenced this rooming at itroIIFAX-fast ten.
Ur ,s was crowded to mess.

Mr. Commissioner Virstramtsu addressed Mr. Brougham, and
said, " Do I understand that you appear as Counsel for Mr. Freak
against the Commission?"
Mr. BROUGHAM said, he appeared here for the Gen-
tleman, who had truly been said to be an object of pity.
He was the subject of inquiry as to his sanity, and that
in the most public way. :Fp a Gentleman in a sane state
this was the most painful, and in that sense he called
him unfortunate. To undergo a rigorous scrutiny, to
have brought forth every thoughtless expression or even
look—to undergb even a personal examination, in
which even his look and gestures were scrutinized, not
as a man, but as a beast, was indeed to be truly unfor-
tunate. He trusted, however, confidently, thin- when
things were looked into, they would rather excite
disgust than an opinion of his insanity ; and that it
would be found, that although a Clergyman might act
improperly, it did not follow that be must be necessa-
rily of unsound mind.. He was not, he said, altogether
opposed to his Learned Friend, who so ably opened the
case. If Mr. F. was of unsound mind, it became his

interest that he should be protected by the Great Seal
and if lie was found to be so, it became his (Mr.
Brougham's) duty to join with his Learned Friend.
With that view he had courted the fullest investigation.
When the enquiry wai gone into, and when Dr. Wright
spoke to the delusions of a sick brain in 1816 and 1817,
if these delusions had continued, he would have at
once called upon them to find him of unsound mind;
but they did net continue, there mas no such thing in
1822. And finding he was not so, it was now his duty
to enter more at large upon the case. A man might be
guilty of impropriety; and the present Gentleman
might have acted with immorality, and yet his mind
remain the seat ot' reason. He might stray from the
path of virtue ; he might be immodest ; but to say that
a man was insane, bec .use he had committed repeated
acts of wickedness, was a most dangerous doctrine. To
be, according to the old law, non compos mentis, it was
not enough that a man was negligent, careless, or of a
weak jugdment. He admitted Mr. F. managed his
affairs very badly, yet that was not enough. Suppose
a person of a very hard heart, who delighted in scenes
of cruelty, that he had almost an insane love of cruel
ights—that he was fond of seeing executions, bull
fights, lion fights—that he could.loak• calmly at his
friends whin dead—that he could sport over their
graves in a way that would barrow up the souls of some,
he would be a monster, but could not be called insane.
lie w uld bat suppose a case • a man, forinstance, who
could quietly sit by, without ity, and hear his father's
conduct described as iromini mg, profligate, and mon-
strous, even charged with madness—hear him described
as a man who had lost every worthy attribute, degraded
to the level with the brute beast, without reason, de-
scribed as a brazen profligate without the slightest
shame—should he liter all this emblaz ned forth and
sit down, ail ea he could vtigk out and in silence wail
over it; he might go farthkhould that son still sit by
and hear his .mother's chastity impeached—hear her
actually called A hear her whoresioros and adul-
teries repeated, and enshellislied by tile fine pencil' of a
Lear ne.l Counsel--bear his father &Scribed av one sunk
' in madness and fnisfot tune, and his mother sunk in vice
and idarni ansi 14 and hear all this, without retiting
to some posamt spot, where he might pray to Wave ob-
, hie rime from memory his father's misfortunes and his


mother's shame. Why tucli,a man, he should say, was'
not constituted as we are—he may be a brute—be may
be hard-hearted, but he could not call upon them to
pronounce him mad. With respect to what had been
said of the conduct of Mr: Frank to Mri. Frank after
the separation, he could say that a feverish anxiety
to protect from suspicion the virtue of a wife, was a
feeling common to all—to suspect would be painful.
—He might, after separation, say to him elf, well, the
suspicion I had, I'll get over ; I'll take you back again.
This might not be sound discretion, but it did not con-
stitute insanity. He would now take the bull by the
horns. He timid mention a case that had occurred,
where a man found his wife in adultery, and yet said,
though she might be an adulteress, she should have a let-
ter of licence from him, and he from her. This would not
be such an act as any of them, the Jury would be guilty
of, but it was not such an act as the law would notice,
so as to take away the management of a man's own af-
fairs. He would now suppose Mrs. Frank, after the
reconciliation with her husband, saying to him, " all
that you have beard against me is the result of a vile
conspiracy—all the time that you have been away, your
sisters have been robbing you, and plotting my disho-
nour—l will prove to you that Mr. Bellamy opened
your closets, that he took one box away belonging to
you, and that Mrs. Bellamy took away another—l will
prove to you that ;hey were living upon your fi r
tune, and were trying to ruin me. Ido not ask
of you to take my word f, r all this—l will produce io
you the persons in whose presence this took place."—
A man fell of affection—fond of the woman, and even
amorouaof her,would f.elbis indignation roused against
thoskwho treated then) so. That would not be an un-
natural Consequence of his feelings. The Jury would
look at the persons promoting this measure, in which
there had been a great deal of cookery. His Learned
Friend had kept back the insanity at Norcout, and other
places ; his friend was instructed, he knew what passed
at Shelton ; and though Mr. Frank was under a delu-
sion about being martied, being made a Bishop, and
other things, not one syllable of this was opened by Mr.
Bellamy. He knew its import; he was a lawyer, and
because he knew it, he instructed not his friend of this
decided insanity in 1816. The Learned Gentleman then
proceeded in his comments on the-evidence, and having
shortly alluded to that of Captain Maiawaring and the
other witnesses, and particularly to one who had been
offered a bribe, he stated that he should call witnesses
which the other side had declined calling. He
should call Malcolm; he should call a servant, who,
knew more than any of them ; he should call Doc-
tor Willis,- and others. Malcolm could have told
them much ; but they might say, al Malcolm is in
league with Doctor Dickenson, or with Mrs. Frank."
What was that to him? They had called waiters,
landlords, and chambermaids, from Norwich, W..
mouth, and Shelton, but not Malcolm. No! there was
such a thing as cross-ex iminatioo, and then it might
have popped out that he- was sent down by Bellamy.
He did not mean to impugn the evidence of any of the
high Medical Gentlemen who had given their testi-
mony. He had known them long, and believed them
to be men of the highest hoaour. But tba Jury were
bound to protect his estate crily against unsoundoeis of
mind. He recollected examining Dr. Monroe—not
the preser'tGentleman of that name, who, having de-
scribed some acts of a person said to be insane, he
' (Mr. B.) said to him " but does not every third person
you meet in the streets, do the same thing ?" Thewit-
nen ansvrered dim he thought they winsWbOtill Wier
in a sfate of cOnllnement—(tairgitter);-:-Theth'Getitie.
men had a tendency to insanity—it was a son of bias
they had. Now as to the treatment that be bad met with,
Mrs. Frank and Dr. Dickenson treated him as if of sane
mind. Let them recollect how the bed-rooms were s;ta-
such He slept whets ill in another part of the house. Mrs.
Frank and Dickenson slept in a part of the house cut off
from him. His so sleeping when unwell was not We-con-
duct of a man who was stated to be as a stock or a stone.
And unless it was brought home to him that he knew
of improprieties existing between his wife and Mr.
Dickenson, those improprieties could not make against
him. From one of the letters it appears she cunningly
attempted to bind him. Lord Hard wicke said, though
a Jury should find any one that is incapable of ma-
naging his effects, still such finding is not enough—
they must find him of unsound mind. He said that
Mr. Frank was weak of mind; he also particularly al-
luded to Dr. Wright's evidence, who talked of inca-
pacity, of defective Wrightgment, but that was not un-
soundness ; and Dr. W added, that he would re-
cover, and the period he bad spoken to was in the years
1816.17. Dr. Monroe talked technically of delusion.
Delusion ! yes, the delusion was his hared to Bellamy,
which had existed since 1822. Would any of the
Jury think that man a friend, who had been trying
to snake him insane ever since that period ? The
Chancellor sent the case here. He could not have
the crow-examination of the witnesses. He could not
cross-examine Roebuck. His sending it here was no
argument of insanity. The acts of 1816 had
taken place, but the Chancellor thought there was
then no ground for inquiry. If they were not
grounds for inquiry in 1822, they were not in 1825.
The high characters that he should call were all of opi-
nion that he was not insane; they may be of opinion
that he is of weak wind- .that there is incapacity ; but
unless they went a step further, and chewed that that
incapacity was the effect of unsoundness, it would not
be enough. Their names were as high as those of any
of the Gentlemen who had been called, and they one
and all would say, that be was not of unsound mind.
He had named Dr. Burrows; he had named Mr. Has.
lam, Dr. Leach, Dr. Willis, who had made an affidavit,
and whom he expected that morning; after the opinion
of. these high characters, would they call this Gentle-
man a lunatic ? If they did, it would be not only
taking from him the management of his affairs, but it
would be tying him up as a prisoner. They must be
satisfied that he was of unsound mind, or they would
violate every principle of justice and law to which their
oaths bo'ind theta.—The Honourable and Learned
Gentleman then sat down after speaking for upwards
of two hours. The following witnesses were then called ;

The Rev. Wm. Addington Norton examined by Mr.
SIPSNCK lam Mr. Frank's Curate, and reside at Alder-
ton, in Suffolk ; I know Mr. Bellamy personally, and
redetnher him coming to my house in the course of
the year 1821, towards the termiaation of the year;
Mr. Bellamy, as the agent of Mr. Frank, was holding
the annual audit.

Soncitor-Genetal, and Mt. Breaitbant contented to go to the
neat witness.]

at his having picked the locks, but he said afterwarus
it was right.
