of M Jdlrt n Lao/. Frim tne ones of the 1....arne•1
Judge, I .1... n at the trial, it appeared that on the Jay
on which the assault took place, Mr. Lawley 111%l+
• wilking Pelt his e►wtt house, accoaipanted by a friend,
at►en cfete•nd ►nt c tote riding up in him, and de•

=landed roa coition of a hare, which, he said, ha.! het
yin by his (the defend nt's) dogs. off his mania... an,
kilted on the prosec3tor's suanor, taken i, by the
proseciaer's servant. and conveyed to his house.—
piosectit ,r deelartql he 'view ulthing 01 the
transaction. upon which the defendant used some
vers itrOss language, and demanded that the hare
shi um be return-d. Mr. Lawley iiid, it would not
be given up to the defeikkint's sletreind, w ho then said
.he 'vivid I h eve it, it it cost hum //lOW. At the
saw. time ct. s.. up against Mr. Lawley, and
shaking his whip at him, struck !tine on the should.r.
Next day Mr. Lawley finding the hare had been
taken to his house. sent it to the defendant's. On this
evi.tente the .Ivey bound the defendant guilty.
The defendant misv put in an affidavit, in mitiga-
tion, in which lie seated that he resided It With.im-
Hall. the manor of which name was in his occapa-
tion. This joined Middleton manor, the prn-
perty of Lord Middleton ; and the pr,.hecinor, who
'was his Lordship's brother-in-law, resided at Meddle
ton Hall. On the day mentioned the defendant had.
been out coursing; and h s *tags had run a !I ire into
Middleton manor, and killed tier, and the defend.int
was informed the hare li .d been taken to
Previous u, , his there had been some oisputes
between Lord Mi ,dleton and the defendant, respec-
ting the game on the oifferent manors, and the deaen-
dant supposing the present was a further ins' .lice of
Lord Miffilh.ton's hostiiity to him, went to Middle on.
Bali, to demand the hare beck.. On his arrival near
the Halt he saw Mr. *wiry, and the cor,v,.?...ittott
which had been stated passed between them. "fire
di-fetidanu was now extremely sorry for having used
inch language as Ite.h.td4one. which arose from the
irritability of his temper. He certainly. how:vri,
had no nuention of assaithing Mr. 'Lawley, and any

THE HMO v. TH'MAL

This was the case of a person ermined at Roches-
ter on a charge of murder, the circumstances of
whoa. 'Rem as follow :--The deft ndant was a Ma-
rine, sad-hid been employed as a sentinel on board
one of his M li:sty's ships of Kat, whilst she was pay.
log -If at Chatham. Whilst in this situation, the
ship, .s is usual, was surrounded by a nuniber of in.
shore boats, as they•are called ; and as these boats
are an enctrinagement in pilfering on board, by af-
for ling facifities for carrying off the plunder, s riot
orders had been given to keep them off. The de.
cea eJ was in one of these boats, and had been re-
peatedly warned by Thomas to keep off, hut i.t vain;
and in order to iti,truidate him, the eeferidant firea
ov• r his heed, as he supposed ; but the deceased sad-
denly using at that thomeht, unlortunately received
the shot wl ich caused his death. The defendant
was in consort:lice tasen into custody, and t: e
eumstance tak ng place within the jurisdicti:not the
city of Rochester, he w.es committed to Wee his trial
at the Sessions for that city, which has a jurisdiction
to try capital ffences.
The Arr irxxx GENERAL now applied to the
Court for a certio:ari to remove the indictment from
Riches= to the County Assizes at Maidstone, that
the defendant Might be tiled before a Judge of As-
size, on the ground that there were objections to the
trial taking place at Rochester.
The-Court said this was a serious question, and
expressed considerable doubts how they could grail
the applic.ttion, as it would have the effect of send.
ing a question of murder to be tried before a Judge
at Ism Prism, who would have no power to pass a
se n tence.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL submitted, that under

the Act of the 14th of Henry IV. chap. 1, such a

power was i;iven: he farther intimated, that it their
Lordships should ultimately be of opinion that they
could nut grant the motion now a'kcd for, he might
perhaps feel it necessary to submit another motion to
bbeir L- rdships, namely, for the trial of the prisoner
st -oar ( Wait is, before their Lordships sittirig in bench)
and a Kentish July.
Lord ELLENBOHOUGH said, that would be for the

Learned Counsel to determine hereafter. "nie point
contained in the present application was well dewy.
ing of consideration, and therefore he might now take
a rule to strew cause.

TUE KING W. JOHN QUICX AND MICHAEL WELSH.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved the judgment of
the Court ou John Quick and Michael Welsh, for
Assaulting John Champion, a Custom-house Oilicer,
whilst in the distbitrge of his duty, at St lye's, on
the 16th of November last. The defendants were
convicted before Mr. Justice Dampier, at Bodmithat
the late Summer Assizes for Cornwall. From the
notes taken by the Learned Judge at the tail, it ap.
penned that the prosecutor Was employed in attempt-
i9g to seize some smuggled spirits which were land-
ing on the beach at St. Ives, when the defendants
Fame up and assaulted him, and*threattned to throw
him over the cliffs if he did not return and have Utz
casks of spirits where they were.
Aiiittarts were put in by the defendants, stating,
, their mime poverty, and declaring that ashen they
nue/spied to tike up the casks of :putts, they did not
!mow them to be susugKled, but supposed they had
been thrown oieriatard by some vessel pas,ing by.
Ole TTORN GEN rit L also prayed judgment on
J. Quick upon a sercand t'.r aisaulting
John Wliliillllsl another Castotn=bustse Officer, at the

sure time and plans, nallely, it St. Ives, and on
the sante day, the 16th of November last.
Lord Et.Lassoitouoir said the Co,irt did not look
lightly on this she! eirs (*offence, but they also consi
dere& what would be the mode of jinnishistenr best
calculated to prevent n repetition iif the offence.—
Tee hest mode to be adopted wail.% perhaps, on th-
present occasion, be, to keep punishment suspended
"vet the heads of the defendants, thil well under.
•tandiog, that in case they ag.in ricilduil they would
be brotight lip And punished severely.
The 4TTONIRY GENERAL said he perfectly agreed
in the suggestion thrown out by the Court; and the
defendants were, in consequence, suffered to go at
large on their own TeeO,l4lll3llOES appear and re-
ceive judgment when called on to do so.
' THE KI \lie HAMMOND K1N134
The ATTAIKNEY GESEIII. then prayed the judg-
ment of the Court on Hammond King, an Officer-of
Excii.,• win had started judgment to go againq
tom by d. fault, on an inhumation charging him with
conniving. in consequence of receiving several consi-
derable sums of money from Mr. John Dyer, a milt-
ster in Suffolk, at allowing 'Me said person to run se-
veral wettings of malt, and thereby defrauding the
Revenue of the dries.
An afliaavit W 4. 1:11' hi by the defendant, stating.
that he had not fAilvd in the performance of his duty

duct ha,: proved his ruin, he having h. en imprisoned
in Chelmsford Jail four months, end paid a fine of
£5OO in coisequoice of pr .ceeikings against him in

Yesterday sc'nnight Mr..l9rotlaries, boatswain of his
Majesty's ship SAHIB, wa. tried by a Court-Martial
at Portsmouth, upon a charge of having caused the
death of Mr. John Roberts, carpenter, of that ship,
by knocking him overboard. It appeared, that on
the 19th of June last, when the Swett was lying at
Antigua, the deceased broke open Mr. Brotherton's
cheat, and stole out some rum, with which he made
himself intoxicated. Upon Mr. Brotherton's expos-
tulating with him, he commenced a furious assault
upon him, and, in so doing, ►taggered against some-
thing which was upon the deck, fell overboard, and
could not be picked up until he was dead. The
Court acquitted Mr. Brothetton.—Sir ARCHIBALD
DicKsoN, President.
A brewer's servant in Leith met with a shocking
death on Wednesday, his head being crushed by a
cart of which he had charge, the horse having been.
frightened and starting suddenly off with it.
Saturday se'nnight Alexander Brown, one of the
colliers at Ayr colliery, fell into the coal ph, which is
31. fathoms deep. The two coal baskets hanging op-
posite to each other, half way down, he fell into one
of them, where he was found about six hours after-
wards by a person going down the pit. His thigh
bone was broken, and he was otherwise severely
bruised, so that his lile was despaired of ; but after
having fallen a height of 162 feet, he is now expected
to recover.

entering into conjugal felicity, are informed that Dr.
COOPEtt, and three Surgeons, of 30 years experience

hated it Medical Board at Charlotte-house, Great

ed the cure, or who have consulted men ignorant of
so important a branch of the profession, whose im-
proper treatment has ruined thousands. Eruptions

of sight, pains in the head and limbs, frequently mis.
