- THE KING ro. GROSE.

This also was an indictment for perjury, preferred
by the same Gentlemen, under similar circumstances
sirnilts mistake in spelling the name prevented the
ATTORNEY qItNERAL going into the case, and die de-
fendant was acquitted.

TUYN\E V. PROTHEgnE.
• This was an action •brnught by the administrator
of die late Dr. Thymus, to recover the sum o! tel MOO
remaining- unpaid, under an agreement entered into
between the intestate and the.defendant, for the put-
• by the latter for £2lOO, of half the profits of
the deceased's, or his son's, Lettures on Midwifery,
from the lst of January, 1812, for the life of the de-
fetfaitt, with an understanding, that when the de-
tendant should become a licentiate of the Royal Col-
lege of Physicians, his name and' interest in the Lec-
tures should be pnblicly acknowledged.
The ArTdaNnT•dENERAL, instead of addressing
the Jury upon thii case, which he called a gross fraud
on the pal of the late Dr. Thynne, to take in a young
Physician from the country, objected that the plain-
tiff had not conformed to the decision of tbe.Couxt of
Comnum Pleas,' in Hunt e. Stevens, S Taunt.. 113,
by taking out letters of administration in a suin suffi-
cient to cover thif-amonnt of the verdict. The admi-
nistration duty. was sworn under 4100; and the
plaintiff sought to recover Bt3oo as administrator.
Lord ELLENOOaOOOII held the objection fatal, and
thc. plaintiff was bonsuited.

This tras in action of TtOver, brintght by the As.
in trout of the streets of the late Dr. Thynne,
silo, before his death, laboured under great peat-
niary difficulties, autidiedein the rules of the King's'
Bench prison, to recover certain goods taken under
in execution - but it appearing that there was no
stamp duty anetereni upon the trust deed, under the
staltute tie49,-;1•11.- and litat-she trustees were to
pay them selves AM out of the profits of sale of the
assigned goods, loocd ELLmusottouGH was of opinion,
that such uuty ought at least to haite been paid for
that with w...ich took the deed out if the exception in
the Stattlte, as to conveyances in trust for salt, in-
tended only as securities for money, at least as to that
sum. The plaintiff was nonsuited.

ZI4E KING v. MYER/i.
This was an indictment .against the *defendant,
charging him with selling a.quant:ty of copper-bolts,
.to a person named Rawbolt, on which was the
King's mark. Rawbolt, it appeared, was a brass-
ftuadero, alit; the.deiendant had Sept to hint a quan-
tity alold cOppers.fer. whit* he wit to receive biiss
ingots in tetern. On The day after the topper was so
sent, 'the Police Officers went to search Rawbolt's
premises, and a considerable quantity of the copper
found bad the Broad'Arrow marked upon it : this

UNION-HALL.- .-STREET ROBIIERS•—•-traileS Bond,
Thomas Overton, Thomas Carvont, and Wm. beds, were
brought up by Goff, charged by Wm. Griffiths, a
journeyman baker, with hustling him, and robbing-
him of six Al notes. It appeared, from the, state-
ment of the prosecutor, that the prisoners were jour-
neymen bakers out-of place. He met theta on Mon-
day evening in the Borough ; and as he was in cash,
and they without employment, he took them to a
public-house in the Borough to treat them ; when-.
there, he incautiously exposed his money to his com-
panions : after he had, given them something to
drink, -they all left the public-house ; but he hid no
sooner got into the street than he was surrounded by
his companions, who began to hustle him : he imme-
diately perceived their intentions, and called out to
one of them who was best known to him, 4‘ Tom, I
`have treated you, don't rob me." They, however,
istedin pushing hiin about, and 1:a v:ng succeeded
in getting his pocket-book, ran off. The prosecutor
immediately applied to Goff, by whom- the prisoners'
were discovered, and taken into custody. They were
committed for re•examination on Monday next.
From the time that the 'much lamented Miss La..
VINIA ROBINSON was missing, and more especially
after the Magistrates had taken the information c.i
her sisters, her brother, her brother-in-law, Mr. BA R-
-I.OW, /Lc. and had received this .dcfeiice which Mr.
tpers
IHOLIBOYD (or OLDROITD, for so we are told he for-
' merly spelt his name), the murmurs of the public, if
not loud, were deep. But when the body was found
—and particularly after it was brought home to the
house of Miss Ronrstsort, which • is very nearly situate
to that of the object-or public displeasure—the popu-
lar voice was loud against him, and every morning
newly-written invectives were obiervable in large
characters on the doors, shutters, walls, &c. of empty
houses. About the end of the week, the windows of
his house were attacked by stones, and his door with
mud. Ile resorted to the Magistrates for protection,
but as he could not point nut the persons who had
been guilty of tho breach of .the peace, no remedy
could be applied. At the beginning of last week,
every evening produced a new proof of the reheat •
ment of the populace, by similar acts of violence ;
and on Thursday night, the climax seemed to have
arrived, for.searcely a pane of glass, not guarded, by
shotters,.was left whole, and the .pannels of the front
door were shattered. During the whole of Friday,
crowds of persons were assembled at the froot of his
-house to witness rho .effects of public resentment,
which was fanned by exclamations in favour of the
young Lady whose corpse had been carried So se,
cently by his door, on its way to interment. A kind
of fury seemed to hang on the minds of the lower
classes of society, which threatened most serious con-
sequences to Mt.. HOLROYD who, in the course of r:!e
afternoon of that,eloy, gave way to the popular feeling
against him : and, control), to his previously declared
determination, he left the town, under the protection
of the constables, having.before been expelled from
the Office of the. mate-midwife in ordinary to the-
Lying-in-Hospital, by an unanimous vote of the
Trustees, who, previously to the discovery.of the body
of the unfortunate young Lady, so much. the object
of general sympathy, were disgusted with his own ac-
count of the proceedings which had. taken place the
evening previous t'o her-disappearance. .
RIOT AT Warrrota.—Thursday senniAht, a dar-
ing ond premeditated riot, which .threatened conse-
quences even more serious than kave resulted, in the
isieath of one man,. and, as it is likely to prove, the
mortal weanid of 'another, took place in the town of
Westport. It appears that two tactions, taking ad-
vantage of the temporary removal of part of the mi-
litary quartered at Westport, and of the absence of
the Chief Magistrates, George Clendining, Esq. de-
termined, on the day mentioned, 'to decide an old
quarrel. The partici were the Westport and Augha-
gower men on the onAside, and the Kilmainan people
on the other. On the day of .the fight the comba-
tants appeared in such force, that it was judged poi-
dent, to display the strength and stat?. Of preparation
Lot the detach's'ent of the Roscommon Militia in town,

'by parading them through the streets ;—upon which
occasion they were followed by the rioters, huzza-
ing and taunting th!m... .Regardless, therefore, of
the opposition they 'expected to meet, they commen-
ced operations, .and continued the conflict for a
length of time, as well amongst themselves as with the
soldiers, whose forbearance, under insult and injury,
and the loss of their bayonets, was unexampled.
eventually became necessary, however, for the
Magistrate attending (CHARLES HIGGINS, Esq.) to
read the Riot Act, and order the soldiers to fire.—
Captain ROPER, who commanded them, taking care
at the same time, by ranging the muskets, that no ill
consequence should even then ensue. The sring was
repeated with humane precaution; but, notwithstand-
ing, one man fell, and the great cause of regret is,
that he was not engaged in the broil—he was a dis-
ion and quiet spectator. ge died on the Saturday
following, leaving a large family ; and Mr. GALLA-
Gun, Coroner, held an Inque* on his body, who
found, 4t That be (Edniond Gibbons, of Augha-
gower) died in consequence of a Wound from a mus-
ket, fired to quell a riot."—Another man, of the
name of Joyce, still languishes, from bayonet wounds
received in the fight. A second is said to have since
died, and Joyce conCnaes in a hopeless state. Mr.
Luke Higgins, in assisting his father, was knocked
down and severely hurt ; and a fellow of the name of
Gibbons, a ringleader in the riot, is lodged in the
guardroom.—The conduct of Mr. Fitoolms, the Ma-
gistrate, is the subject of general and deserved appro.
batic.a. Edmund Gibbons is said to have lost his life
in consequence of a musket, which burnt priming,
having retained fire, and gone off when taken down.
