CHELMSFORD ASSIZES.

-FRIDAY, JULY 28.—CROWN SIDE.
RAPILS.—John Apse, a soldier in the .57th regiment,
was indicted for ravishing Susannah Hall,, on the 28th
of May last.
This was a most cruel case, as detailed by the pro-
seeutrix, a girl of 17, who stated that she was nur-
sery-znaid to Captain Buntling, of the 92d regiment,
and, on the night izi question, she was going from
"%Tetley Barracks, in company with one Connel, who,
it appeared, was heir sweetheart. After they had
passed the centinel some way, they met three soldiers
one of whom she knew to be Ryan, the prisoner. One
of them laid hold of her, and attempted to free her
from Conners arm. Connel told them she was not
a bad girl, and desired them to desist. Ryan swore
he did not care what she was, for he would have her;
the other two then forced her away from Connel, and
dragged her p a neighbouring field, while Ryan stood
Auard over Connel, to prevent him interfering. When
the two other soldiers got het into the field, they
dragged her through a small pond, then threw her
down and violated her—afterwards Ryan did the
same. This they repeated twice, the prisoner Ryan
behig the last man. She was positive to the person
of Ryan, as he had a broken tooth in front, and his
teeth projected. The prisoner, evidently with great
care, kept his mouth shut ; but upon being called
upon for his defence, when he spoke, it appeared that
his teeth were as the prosecutxix had described.
Her statement was corroborated by Cannel, who
also identified the person of the prisoner.—Verdict,
Guilty. _ _ _

Cre;rge Nelson was indicted for violating Elizabeth,
.t'ie wife of James Pool, on the 30th of March last.

The prisoner was an artillery-man,, quartered at
Warley Barracks, and the prosecutrix said her hus-
band was ostler at an inn at Brentwood. On the Stith
of Marcia, she had been at Warley Barracks, whither ,
she usually went to sell small articles. As she was 1
• returning home through the fields in the evening, the'
found it getting dusk,• and saw the prisoner following
her. She paused a =moat Whether to *turn to the

barracks or not, lost Will liersair further oR
she expected. The prisoper asked her why she
going so fast ? she replied; she thought her hnstaant.
WAS coming to meet her, and she expected him every
minute. She walked on, and shortly heard the pri-
soner behind her, who threw her down and stopped
her mouth with one hand. He perpetrated his pur-
pose, and just then her cries brought two persons ta.,
her assistance, Bombardier Roberts and Serjeant'
Duncan. She knew the latter—he seised the prisoner,
who then pretended to be drunkf-Viii The was sure he
was not. Roberts and Duncan were both gone otil
the expedition. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty,-
and he was sentenced to be tranported for life.
William Clements and Walter CleMents, father and son,
were indicted for a burglary in the house of John
Burley, at Dagenham, and robbing the house of va-
rious articles, of money, &c.
The above prisoners were part of a gang who had
robbed several houses, and of whom Cook and Sim-
mons, convicted yesterday, were also a part.
Mrs. Burley stated, that as she was sitting in her
pwlour, about five or six o'clock in the evening of
the 7th of January, the prisoners burst into the room,
and demanded her keys ; she gave them to them, and
they immediately proceeded to ransack the house, and
took away all the notes and money they could find.
Shadbolt, an accomplice, the same who was exa-
mined yesterday, confirmed her statement, and added,
that they first bound a carter, whom they found in
the stables.—They were both found Guilty.
John Tierney was convicted of a wilful murder of
Samuel Watkinson, at Colchester,' on the 28th of
June last.
The conduct of this prisoner was most unaccounta-
bly wanton. He had no malice against the deceased
in particular, but in a fit of brutality declared he
would knock down whoever came near him. The
deceased unfortunately came in his way, and he struck
him with a bludgeon, which knocked him down :
when the poor man rose, he repeated his blows, and
actually killed him.—He was sentenced immediately
to be hanged on Monday morning.
Walter Clements, Galt, and Simmons, for house-break-
. ing,and Ryan, for the : ape, were also left for execution.
JULY 29..--CLARKE V. PORTER.
This was an issue directed by the Court of Exche-
quer, to try 'whether Littley Park, in the parish of
Much Waltham, was titheable in small tithes or not.
Mr. Serjeant SIIEPHEREs, for the plaintiff, who is
Vicar of the parish, stated, that the only question
would be, 'whether Littley Park was to pay small
tithes to the Vicar or not ? The defendant would
have to shew in what manner the lands were dis-
charged, if be meant to contend that they were
tithe-free. He admitted it 'to be true, that the land
in question had not paid tithes for- many years, but
why it had not paid was easily explained. It had not
been in a course of cultivation to yield titheable
articles. It had been kept merely as a park, and
deer paid no tithes. But he should shew to them an
old account of z Vicar, rendered in 1636, wherein
he accounted for tithes that year ; and he should also
shew, by another ancient document, an Inquisitio post
mortem, taken upon the death of an Earl of Warwick,
in whose possession the land in question was, that at
that time it was chargeable with tithes ; and he
should also give in evidence the particulars under
which it was sold in Chancery, which expressly stat-
ed, that Littley Park was not chargeable with tithes,
unless converted into tillage. From these documents he
contended it waa abundantly clear that the land was
charged with tithe, and that it had not paid for a se-
ries of years, merely because it had been in a park
state, and was not productive of titheable articles.
These documents were accordingly produced; but,
on examination, it did not appear that they distinctly
applied to the land in question, or whether to great
or small tithes ; and an ancient witness, of the age of
SO, who was called on the part of the plaintiff, prov-
ed, that the land in question was by reputation tithe-
free ; that it belonged to Lees Priory, and was a se-
parate chapelry ; that the ancient barn had been for-
merly the chapel, and in his youth traces of tins
belfry were remaining, and he also remembered old
men painting out to him, 'as they Were at work in the
barn, where the pulpit formerly stood.
Mr. Serjeant BEST was stopped in his reply by the
Limn CHIEF, BARON, who said the defendant here
must recover by the strength of his own case. There
was a great distinction between the cases of a Rector
and a Vicar. A Rector was entitled to the tithes as
a matter of course ; the Vicar only to such as the
Vicarage was endowed with ; the Rector, therefore,
had a right to say to the land-holder, as all lands pay
tithes, unless discharged, pay me, or show how you
claim to be exempted. On the contrary, the land-
holder had a right to say to the Vicar, you are only
entitled to such tithes as the Rector has originally
given you; now shew me with what you are endow-
ed, before you demand it ; and unless he did so, the
land-owner was not obliged to pay. As it was not
done in this case, he thought the defendant was enti-
tled to a verdict.—Verdict for the defendant.

The Eighth Number of ACKERMAN'S " Repository
of Arts," which has jnst made its appearance, is cal-
culated to add to the deserved reputation already ac-
quired by that splendid and popular work. Were we
not acquainted with the very extensive circulation of
the " Repository," we should be at a loss to conceive
how the publisher can afford to give, as ke has done
in the present number, two extra Plates and ten
pages of Letter-press beyond the usual quantity ; so
that it contains this month eight plates, five of which
are coloured, for no more than the ordinary price.—
The extra embellishments are, a most interesting and
well-executed portrait of the Archduke CHARLES, and
a beautiful engraving from the design of the Hono-
rary Medals offered for the best essays—a feature by
which the " Repository" is distinguished from all
other periodical works.

RENOVATED HEALTH.
IFhas been too frequently the subject of just and
.
general reprobation, that men destitute of the elements of
the medical art have offered themselves as candidates; for I
public patronage in the profession of physic. For the purpose of ;
doing justice to the result of our studies and experience; and to
prevent us from being classed among those ernpirics whose impu- I
dent pretensions have, unfortunately forsociety, been too favour. ! •
ably received, we beg leave to submit to the liberal and enlight-
ened, a faithful statement of our pursuits and acquirements.
After having received a regular medical education, as the miplls
of Messrs. Grindal and Blizard, whose lectures and practise we
carefully attended, as Profesors and Surgeons of the London Hos-
pital, we entered ourselves as students in that ju.'tly celebrated
school for medical acquirements, the Royal College of Edin-
burgh, and were instructed in the. different branches of Anatomy,
1 Surgery, the Theory and Practice of Physic, Chemistry, Mid-
wifery, Botany, &c. &c. &c by those eminent Professors, Drs.
Monro, Gregory, Week, Hamilton, Duncan, and Rutherford.
We trust we shall not be deemed presumptuous in sayiag, that
our proficiency and acquirements are not inconsiderable. Haying
for a long series of years made VENEREAL COMPLAINTS,
and the various diseases of DEBILITY, the particular object of.
our studies and practice, it will, we hope, be allowed that we have
acquired superior knowledge of their treatment and care. In
slight and recent cases of infection, e perfect re-establishment is
completed in the short period of two days, and in those of the
utmost inveteracy, where other practitioners have failed of suc-
cess, a proper perseverance in our plan of treatment ensures to the
patient a safe and radical cure.
Amidst the melancholy variety of disorders which are the ef-
fects of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the youth.of
both sexes, there are none more alarming or more distressing than
those deficiencies and debilities which frequently prevent or em-
bitter the-matrirtionial state. To such persons it must be a con-
soling reflection to know that they may now, by a new and infal-
lible mode of treatment, be' restored to that greatest of all human
blessings, a strong, manly, and vigorous constitution. In all cues
of Debility, from whatever cause arising, as well as in every spe-
cies of Venereal infection, we may be consulted by patients of
either sex with the greatest secrecy and honour. Hours of con-
sultation at home from ten to three, and from six in the evening
till ten at eight. • .
Patients in the country are requested to state the particulars of
their oase, age, and general habit of living. Ste. inelosing a remit-
tance for advice and medicines, when the same will be given or
ent to any part of the kingdom. To ensure that secrecy so es-
sential to our undertaking, the postage of letters ma be added to
the amount for medicines.

WHEN PROFESSIONAL MEN of Educan
and Responsibility deviate from the General system
the selection•of a particular branch, the sanction of long condos
success is the best criterion of superiority.
Fourteen years have we devored our practice to the extlusii
treatment of two disorders, and the successful result of our pl
gives us additional ardour to oppose, as far as we are able, the
vages of those complaints which 'are the most importaut is
catalogue of Miriam infirmities.

After Initiation into every branch of practice, we contemplat
the sufferings of hipbylitic and debilitated Patients, and forme(
wish to rescue individuals from the ignorance of uneducated in
or the equally dangerous precipitancy of general practitioners.
The disorders, to the cure of which we have devoted our ait
than, comprise every specks of Venereal Infection, whether
recent or long duration : thily, All kinds of debility, whet
arising from the habits of school-boys, or the indulger.tie
ture age.—Numerous diseases are the result of ignorance,
haste in the -treatment- of-a simpie Gonorthcra, and it not en!
quently happens, that the seeds of life are poisoned by the in
! cretion of an unguarded hoar.

By a superior method such complaints are eally cured;
even where others have failed, we trust that we may pram:
offer a radical re-establishment.

Few, however, are the cases of complicated distress in th'i
order, compared with the calamitous situations of men,
front an indulgence in a Solitary.drice, or the prevalent gaitti
a fashionable life, acquire that state of debility, which is tht
avoidable consequence of such pernicious habits.
Where the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, but
fully conceals his misfortune, it may be some consolation for
to knovt,' that although it be an object of doubt or t.ncerta
with other practitioners, the removal of these deficiencies by
gradual progress oLsenovation is the acquirement of our txp,iik,
if the rites of Bacchus or Venus hkve begun to reduce mash
vigour, much anxiety will be prevented by an early coutrerac:
of this languid state,and in those cases, no great difficult) will occur.
But where this deficiency has for years existed, a proper per
verance is indispensibly requisite to revive the skunbcririg spar)
of life, and to re-animate the constitution.
The secrecy which is so essential to our undertaking, and
qualifications which we presume ro state, form the basis of
pretensions, and the coincidence with such this intimation is gi'
that Messrs. LEIGH and Co. may be consulted personally, or
letter, (inclosing a.Bank Note) at their house, No. 29, Ares
