LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, 'FEBRUARY 10.
TIM =VG V. ISA
TheAritoserr-Gentam. prayed the judgment orthe Court on the
defendant, against whom judgment passed by default, for an assault
on certain officers while attempting to execute a warrant at Dover.
The Cotner sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned for one
month, and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for Kent,
and give security for his good behaviour for two years, himself in
401. and two sureties in 104 each.
THR YURI V. WILLIAM WILLIS.
The Armlet:yr-6 EMMA L prayed for judgment on the defendant,
who bad pleaded guilty to as information charging him with offer-
ing a bribe to a revenue-officer.
On the part of the defendant, affidavits were put in setting forth
that he bad intended the articles smuggled for presents; that he
bad lost them all, and suffered much; and that he had borne an
excellent character.—The COURT, adverting to those circumstances,
only sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned for' a month in the
King's Bench prison.

THIt LINO V. JOHN COLLINS.
The A71'011,71E! GHNEItAI. prayed the sentence of the Court against
the defendant, who'suffered judgment by.default to a criminal in-
formation granted by the Court for a libel reflecting on Lord George
Seymour, (Me of his Majesty's Commissioners of Excise.
The defendant addressed the Court, stating that he was too poor
to employ an attorney, and that he now found his affidavits in mi-•,
Ligation could not be read, because they were without stamps ; and .
he wished the case to stand over till he could stamp them.
The Arronstsv-Gxxxitat. said be was quite ready to allow them
to he read without stamps ; but he feared it could not be done.
The COURT said they had no power to allow this; but as the
affidavits had not been used, they might be stamped without a pe-
nalty, and the case might stand over for the present.

IHE LINO V. DAVID IRINA/Wt.
The Arroauxv-GuissaL prayed fur judgment on the defendant,
a poor Welchman unable to speak English, fur a very violent as-
sault on an Excise officer at Cardigan.
The COUJIT sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned for six
months in Ilereford

THE KING V. BROOKES.

The defendant, who is a common brewer at Brent-
ford, was convicted before a Magistrate for the county
of Middlesex of having, contrary to the 35th Geo. 111.
cap. 113, retailed beer without having previously taken
out a license, and he was therefore tined in the mitigated
penalty of 101. He appealed ag.tinst this conviction to
the Quarter Sessions, where the conviction was con-
firmed ; he then moved the cause into this Court for
the opinion of their Lordships.
Mr. Serjeant PELL this day, in support of the con-
viction, made some observations, and was proceeding in
his argument, when he was interrupted by
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE; Hho observed that it was
customary, in a case like the present, when the Court
was called upon to give their opinion upon the con-
struction of various Acts of Parliament, to give them
some previous time for consideration. Of this argu-
ment the Court having hid no previous intimation, the
further discussion of it must be put off until next Term.

VAGRANT ACT.

Mr. HUME said, he held in his hand a Petition from
a labourer, whose case, though a poor man, welt de-
served, as it appeared to him, the attention of the House.
The Petitioner stated, that as he was returning home on
the 7th September last, from Clerkenwell-green, he was
asked by a female the way to Brick-lane. While is
conversation with her a watchman came up, whose ob-
ject was evidently to obtain money, took them into,,
custody, and conveyed them to the watch-house. What'
was most important in this case was, the conduct of
the Magistrate, Sir Daniel Williams, before whom the
parties were brought. They were condemned to be ins-.
prisoned and to work at the Tread-mill for one month,
and this merely on the oath of a single person. It was
so dark that the watchman could hardly see the per-
sons thus charged. Was this such an act as could
be called indecent exposure? From the examples they
lately had of the conduct of Mr. Swabey, Sir D. Wil-
liams, and Mr. Dyer, and the cases detailed in the pub-1
'tic Papers,. it was impossible not to see that this subject
was one of great importance. There was, he believed,
no person in the House who would go with these Ma-
gistrates in their interpretation of the Vagrant Act. A
discretion he knew must be given to Magistrates, but
the manner in which it was exercised was a matte: well
worthy the most serious attention. In the case of the
Prelate which occurred some months back, bail was
accepted, while it was refused three days ago in that of
a most respectable individual for having some plants in
his possession. Surely no person could say there WAS
any comparison in point of guilt between the two cases.
The Secretary for the Home Department, should, he
thought, in the appointment of Magistrates to be vested
with so large a discretion, exercise no small degree of vi-
gilance as to their fitness. No redress was since extended
to the individual whose Petition he held in his hand.
He was sent to the Mill on Monday, and it was not till
Thursday that his friends heard where he was. After-
incurring an expense of 151. he obtained an appeal to
the Sessions, AA the prosecution was quashed. The
woman, who could not afford to incur such an expense,
Was obliged to remain in prison the whole time, and
work at the Tread-mill. What sort of justice was this ?
There was law to be had in England it was true: but
their people must have money to pay for it. Theconsi-
!.eration of paid Justices naturally arose out of this sub-
ject, and the manner in which they performed their du-
ties. ‘Vl..en the present Lord Mayor was Sheriff of
London he made inquiries, from which it would appear,
that the Magistrates of the City exercised far inure cau-
tion than Polite Magistrates in the committal of al-
leged offenders. During the year 1823, 1652 persons
were committed by the Police Magistrates of Middle-
sex, of which number, when brought to trial, 478 were

THE KING V. WHITE AND OTHERS.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a Rule, calling
Upon the defendants, who were the Printer, Publisher,
and Proprietor of a Newspaper, called the Indian Ob•
senor, to thew cause why a criminal information should
not be filed against them. for having published a libel,
charging Sir William ltumbolei with having with
others, his partners, in the house of Palmer and Co. at-
tempted to prove a debt of 700,0001. against the estate
of the Nizam of Ilydrabar, although, in fact, they had
only advanced a sum of 350,000/. at an interest of 25
per cent.—There also appeared on Saturday last in the
office window where this paper was published, a placard,
"Sir William Rumbold turned out of India; an at-
tempt to defraud the Government of 350,0001." Iu
support of the motion, the Learned Counsel read the
affidavit of Sir William Rumbohl, who swore distinctly
that the charges made against hint in that paper were
utterly false, and without the least foundation.

Their Loid,hips havilig consulted together,
The Lon D Cil I EF JUST ICE—Does S:rWililam Rombold
deny that he had accepted from the Nizani of Hydra-
bar a ity for 350,0001. e than had beet: actually
advanced?

The ATTC,RNEY-GENERAL—No, my Lord; he is not
charged with having done so. He is charged with
having attempted to prove under such a document; at a
meeti iti lieid by the Commissioners appointed for pay-
ing off the Nizam's debts, and he swears distinctly that
he never has attempted to do so.
The CHILE JCSTIEE—He ought to have denied that
be had taken such a security, befote lie could be entitled
to call up( (1 this Court to grant a criminal information.
The ATTAINEY7GENERAL then applied for time until
to-morrow to attend his affidavit. The application was

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
The driver of the hackney-coach, No. 498, was charged *hi
driving against the gig of Mr. Walker, a Professional Gentleman
.13y which he was thrown out, and two of his ribs broken. The de..
fondant pleaded that his horses suddenly became unmanageable •
but it was proved that their restiveness was occasioned by his makit4
too free use of the whip. The Magistrate reprehended his conduct
with just severity, fined hint 10s. and costs, and ordered him to
find bail for the assault.

W. games and ..4. Moser were again brought up, the forint,.
charged with stealing, the latter with receiving, various articles ef
cutlery, belonging to Mr. Weiss, of the Strand. Since the 1.i4
examination, a boy in the employ of the prosecutor, ennfesitd he
had stolen variousartieles belonging to Mr. Weiss. He said, s ,e,,
after he entered Mr. Weiss's service, he gave him X. 2 to Dar
clothes, which be went to lay out with Moser, who asked Sivi i! !;',
bad anything to.sell? He answered in the negative; whc:: .11,..rt
replied, " Well, you may, and anything you bring, l'il Live %,,,, ,
good price for ; but be sure, if you are taken up, don't yo;, ,i'y
~,.I
thing about me." Two or three days after. witness took hi, ,
new silk waistcoat of his master's, for which the prisoner gave Itirt
Is. 6d. He subsequently took him four razors, fur which hr res
ceived 4s. and the prisoner then entered into a regular bargain to
give witness :, . 6d. for every four new razors he should brim,
Witness tookhim in all fifteen razors, a silver spoon, a snug-taus,
\ee
and a lancet ca , for which he received trifling sums. The razors
were stated to worth 12s. each.
Moser being "liked what he had to say, declared he never 1)(104
anything of the boy in his life. He was fully committed, and :he
boy was ordered into confinement, to give evidence upon his triad,
Kann was disclsarged for the want of evidence.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBRR 4.

STRINGER V. MARKHAM.
This was an action by the executors of Mrs. Brocker-
ley against the executors of Mr. Covin, on a note for the
payment of 5001. within .six months from Mr. Covin's
decease. The parties lived at Louth, in the county of
Lincoln, where the note was given on the 16th March,
1813. It purported to be given in consideration of natu
ral love and affection, and of services rendered, and
thereafter to be rendered, by Mrs. Brockerley. She was
connected with him very distinctly by marriage, but not
related by blood, and had occasionally assisted in his,
family. The note was not given at his house, but at that of
a man named Adam Eve, who attested the note as a wit-,
ness. At the trial, before Mr. Baron Hullock, the defence
set up was, that the testator, an old man of 74., was not
of round and disposing mind, and was unduly in•
Auenced to make the instrument. It was proved that,
before this time, he would, when he saw a cow milked,
exclaim, 41 How much milk that horse gives!" And
when asked after his health, would answer, 44 I died
some time ago." He had been a Commissioner of the
Conic of Conscience in his borough, and used to sit,.
hear all the aiguments, and say nothing, and then say'
the judgment must he for the plaintiff instead of the
defendant, or vice versa. A commission of lunacy was
afterwards taken out against him, and he was found a
lunatic; but the period fixed for the beginning of his
mental alienation was three years after the note was
given. The Learned Judge summed up strongly for
the defendant, hut the Jury found a verdict for the
plaintiff. A rule was obtained for a new trial, on the
giound that the verdict was against evidence, which
came on to be argued.
The COMMON SKRJEANT shewed cause against the
Rule. The question was purely a question of fact, most
fit fur the consideration of the Jury, to whom it was
certainly presented by the Learned Judge without any
leaning in favour of the plaintiff.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said—" We think, in this
case there ought to be a new trial on payment of costs.
The practice of granting new trials, which has been
found highly beneficial to the interests of justice, arose
in the room of the old law of attaint, which was far
less favourable to the trial by Jury. It is impossible to
look at the history of our law, without perceiving that
in ancient times the verdicts of Juries were regarded
with far greater jealousy than they are by us. I believe
the improvements in manners and in morals have re-
moved in a great degree the occasion for that jealousy ;
but I feel that the interposition of the Court, not to di.
rect verdicts, but to bring them under review, is still of,
'great service. When we direct a new trial, we do not
say that the verdict is wrong, but merely that the case
ought to undergo another inquiry. That is all we say
now ; and that we may not prejudice the case, we will
give no opinion on its merits. The rule must be abso-
lute, on payment of costs by the defendant."

DEATH OF THE lair. litß. 111.1[11121.V.

Died, Saturday evening, after a protracted illness, 0;.,
Rev. R.C. Maturin, M.A. Curate of St. Peter's. In him
the poor have lost a kind fi lend, our religion a firm sup.
porter, and literature one of its brightett ornaments. A:
a preacher, Mr.Maturin was highly esteemed ; his sermr.r;
were masterly compositions; his reasoning incontr 0 yet.
tible, and his language the most calculated to subdue
heart, and to demand attention. His six Cuntrosers;ai
Sermons, preached during last Lent, have been lately
printed, and are now before the public. They shew
.
author to be a profund scholar and an acute reasoner:
never, since Dean Kirwan's time, were such crowd, „t.
tracted to the Parish Church, as during the del:very t,'
these sermons ; neither rain nor storm could sui-::f tie the
anxiety of all classes and all persuasions to hear them; i'lo
did he leave no other monument whereon to rest his far.:
these Sermons alone would be sufficient. But :rl.•
Maturin's genius was as expanded as his 'ear:kg n.„
deep and various ; his Novels and Plays, if they can„,,,
be ranked amongst the higher productions of this kult,,
evince wonderful power of imagination, while the heutr
of his language stands Unrivalled; indeed, we
it observed by some of the Reviewers, that these
no writer of the present day wilts had a greater same
of thought, or greater command of language than tins

forks; the prongs of the latter entered his face, just below the Ict
eye; the knife also inflicted a cut under the ear. The girl declared
sbe was sorry for what she had done, and promised not to do tLe
like again. The complainant said he would make it up, and as ,he
was his fellow servant, he would not he too hard.

The Magistrate said he was very forbearing, and bound her over
in her own recognislnces to keep the pace.—She having paid the
expenses, left the office with George, evidently as good friends as if
nothing had happened.
MA RLBORMIGII-STREET.

enafttnt or Ansoo.—James Hale,y, a green-grocer, who resides at
the corner of Argyll-place and King-street, near the above office,
was charged by Mr. Dundee, his landlord, with arson. It ap-
peared that un Monday morning last. about five o'clock, the pri-
soner's shop was discovered to be on fire. The watchman alarmed
the neighbourhood, and the engines arrived—hut before the pre-
mises were entered, the prisoner jumped out of his parlour window.
The shop-door was then broken open, and a fireman, named
Smart, entered; he could perceive no flame; hut he observed
the smoke to come up from the kitchen ; and, on his going
below, he was still unable to find the fire; hut applying his am
to a cupboard under the stairs, the flames rushed out, and in akw
minutes threw the shop into a blase. With a plentiful supply of
water, the fire was extinguished. On searching the shop they
opened another cupboard over the kitchen stairs, and found it full
of bundles of wood, which had caught fire.
Mr. Dundee, the landlord, who resides in the next house, and
who occupies the upper part of Haley's house, was apprehensive
that, under the circumstances, the fire was not the effect of acci-
dent ; and having ascertained that the prisoner was insured in the
Beacon for 3004 and that his property was not, at the utnio.t,
worth more than 101. or 201. he applied at this office for a warrant to
apprehend Haley, on suspicion of arson. Valentine was entrusted
with the warrant, and immediately after apprehended the plisoner,
at the Bricklayer's Arms, Suuthmolton-stre•.t.
When questioned about the fire, he denied all knowledge of it,
and said he was first alarmed by his daughter, who slept in the ►hip.
lie said that his premises were so constructed, that Mr. Dundee
could have constant access, and that as Mr. Dundee wished to ih.t
him out, and, in fact, was going to eject him the following morninr,
he (Mr. Dundee) might have been the incendiary. Ile accounted
for insuring his property to the amount of 3001. by valuing his bu-
siness at 20C/. his property at SOL and he bad in the cupboard. that
was destroyed 93/. in notes, which he had received principally
from Lord Gleugall.
The Magistrate remanded hint until Monday, to give time for
further evidence to attend. Haley has a wife and six children.

A CARD.

MRS. JOHNSON, Sole Proprietor of the AMERI-
CAN SOOTHING SYRUP, for Children Cutting their
Teeth, removed from 94, Newman-street, to 28, York-place, City-
road, London, begs leave to caution Mothers and Nurses, at a cri-
tical season like the present, when Children are Teething, the ut-
most attention ought to be paid to them, particularly as the Measles
and Chin-cough are so prevalent. If the irritation of the Gums
comes with any other Disorder, very few Infants recover. Mo-
thers ought never to be without the AMERICAN SOOTHING
SYRUP in the Nursery; for if a Child awakes in the night with
pains in its Gums, this valuable Medicine applied will immediately
open the pores, heal the gums, and theteby prevent fevers and con-
vulsions; for should it come in competition with any other disorder
it often destroys the Mother's brightest hopes.

TOWN-HALL

Mr. Nathan, a clothes salesman, in the Borough, came into the
office, and related to Mr. Alderman J. J. SNIITII, that his wife, who
was eight months gone with child, had that moment been bitten by
a dogbelonging to Mrs. Mary Peele, in the Borough Market, whom
he requested might be summoned beture him. The reqnest was
granted immediately, and in a short- time Mrs. Pee;t: appeared, and
the alike was crowded with the friends of both p:atks.
Mr. Nathan then stated that suraeon Rowley, of the Iligh-street,
was in attendance on his wife, and bad applied lunar caustic to the
wound; but considered it necessary the part irjured situuld be cut
out, and delivered to the Magistrate a certificate tv that effect, but
saying that his wife was opposed to it.
Mr. Alderman SALMI) who took the liveliest interest in the case,
Dee ht forward every observation tending to allay the dreadful
impressions upon Mr. Nathan's mind, and called upe,n Mrs. Peele
to account for the unpardonable negligence she had been guilty of,
in saikring a ferocious dog to be at large, in the teeth of the Mk.
gistretru° dram and of every humane feeling.
Mts. Plzele denied that the dog was felociotii, and said Mrs.
Nathan had trod upon the dog's foot with her patters before it had
turned upon her.
The dog was then put Into the custody of Kinsey, with strict
orders for his guidance, and Mr. Nathan departed, declaring he
would indite the owner at the Sessions.

leg, was looking over a parcel of letters, whick had arrived from 1
Flammerunith, part of which were to be sent on to the- Inland'
Office. Witness obsetved him to stop at one which was directed
to Truro, in Cornwall, and which appeared to contain something
hard. The prisoner put it aside in a manner as if to avoid ob,er-
vation, and passed on with the other letters. When he had set ted
the wbok, he carried them himself to the Inland °Lice, which teas
contrary to the usual practice, and which was not his duty. (hi his
return tbe.witness asked him whether he had given in that particu-
lar letter? The prisoner replied in the affirmative, but appeared
coonfused; and got the key to go to the water-closer. The witness
communicated his suspicions, all] on the return of the prisnr.er he
was apprehended and searched, but no money was tourd upon him.

SUBMISSION OF THE DEY OF ALGIERS.

By the LIGHTNING steam-packet, which has arrived
at Portsmouth, dispatches have been received at the Ad-
m;ralty this morning, from Sir HARRY NEALE, CORI..
manding the Blitish squadron off Algiers, which con-
firm the account previously received from Marseilles.
that the DEY has submitted to our terms ; Europe
has thus to thank Great Britain for a second tinge hum-
bling this haughty despot, and protecting the Christian
world from the insults of the Mussulmans.

Sir HENRY NEALE'S dispatches me dated the 26th of
July; he states, that having on the 24th placed his
squadron in their proper positions for an attack on the
town of Algiers, he was about to commence the action,
when a negotiation began, which terminated on the
following day, by the Ihy's submitting to all the con-
ditions proposed by the Admiral, and signing the declara-
tioa which had been transmitted from England. A
few shots and shells had been fired, but slo lives were log.
On the signature of the declaration by' the /hit;
peace was restored, and the blockade raised.

We congratulate the Public on this bloodle.s
triumph—this reluctant homage to the naval power
of Great Britain, which dale assail batteries and
positions that nature and art seem to have rendered
impregnable, and able to hug!' a siege to scorn; when the
rights of the nation, or those of humanity, are to be
protected or vindicated.

This morning we received Brussels Papers to the
Isth instant, and the Amsterdam Courant of Saturday
last.—lf a letter in the latter can be itlied on, the
triumph of the Turks h:ts indeed been short. Except
as to the effect it might have on the other islands, the
capture of Ipsara is of little
.importance ; nor can it
be deemed any very great exploit when we conssider
that it is a small place, only about five miles long and
two miles broad, and that the Turkish sgnadron by
which it was attacked consisted of eighty sail, crowded
with troops.
The article rn the Dutch Paper is a letter from Con-
stantinople, rectived at Vienna via Odessa. It is dated
the I Stli of inly, and states, that intelligence had reached
the Bi itish Legation, the preceding evening, announcing
hat all the Turkish troops that landed at Ipsara had
been destroyed. it appears by this account that twenty-
five ships of Hydra and Spezzia, with that daring which
the Greek sailors have always displayed during the con-
test, had attacked the Turkish squadron, and sunk a
great number of vessels, and damaged several others,
including that of the Captain Pacha. The letter adds,
that it was strictly forbidden to speak of Ipsara in-the
streets of Constantinople, which is supposed to confirm
the defeat of the Turks. -A further confirmation we
look for with great anxiety. We now subjoin the
article on which the hopes of the success of the Greeks
are founded.
