The Court sat in ban*, till one o'clock, but up to
that hour no case of any interest came on.
At one o'clock, the 1..01U1 Cum, JusTics came into
Court to sit at Nisi Prigs. There were only two causes

other (after the Jury was sworn) was referred.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, NOV. 17.
HORTON V. PARSON.

This cause was argued some time ago, and stood for
judgment this day. The plaintiff filed a bill, alleging
that he was entitled to certain tithes on two parcels of
land, called Great and Little Park, in the parish of
South Wingfield, and praying that an account thereof
might be taken. The defendant put in an answer, in
which he alleged that he paid an annual stun of 21. in
lieu of tithes ort the land in question.
The LORD Cuter BARON, on coming into Court,
stated, that after having read over all the papers re-
lating to the came, he was of opinion that the 21.
which the defendant annually paid, could only be con-
sidered as the modus decimaxdi of Little Park. With
respect to Great Parlc, be decreed an account to be
taken, and granted the plaintiff his costs.

HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, N0V.16.
THE JOHN AND HARRIET..

The Kinc's ADVOCATE! moved to-day for a warrant
to arrest this ship in the usual form, in a cause of hot:
tornry ; but under the following special circumstances.
The John and Harriet, 04) her voyage from London to
Havre, sustained some damages, which made it neces-
sary for her, on her arrival at the latter port, to refit.
To defray the cost of these repairs, the Captaiirraised.
money on bottomry; but the sum so raised being fonqd,
to be insuffioirnt, she took in a freight for Lisbon. That
freight also tiiining out to be unequal to the charges
incurred at Havre, another bottomry-bond was given,
and the vessel was dispatched back thither, in order to
be sold. Havre, however, was adjudged to be a port
very inexpedient for the purposes of such a sale; and
the Captain having raised a further sum on -bottomry
of 14,596 francs, in order to cover the two former bonds,
the John and Harriet sailed to London, where it was
intended that she should be sold.
Lord STOwecs. immediately granted the warrant.
THE APOLLO.

iln this case, the Court was occupied to-day in hear-
ing Dr. Jean ADDAMS, who, in an elaborate argument,
contended that the Court had ho jurisdiction to try the
question of damages suggested by the other side ; that
upon the evidence, all the aspersions of the two other
co•owners upon the character of Mr. Tarbutt were most
completely and satisfactorily disproved; and that the
court, instead of referring any extraneous question to
the Registrar and Merchants, would direct the 3,0001.
for which bail had been given to Mr. Tarbutt, to be
paid to him out of the registry, into which k bad al-
ready been brought.—Judgment postponed.

The following intelligence is extracted from an India.
Gazette of the 10th of June, 1824:
" Accounts from KeUiabar, in Assam, dated the 18th ultimo,
mention the complete success of an attack made by a detachment,
estimating -of one company of the 46th Regiment, and a Russia
of irregular horse, tinder the command of Lieutenant Irsaxets
TURNOUR liticss.aaason, of the 46th liniment, on a party of _Bur-
mese troops, who had the temerity to return to the vicinity of Kul-
liabar, and reoccupy the stockade at Hautbar. It appears that Lieut.
Ilicaaansosi sent his infantry to attack the stockade in front,
while he very judiciously led the cavalry round the jungle, in rear of
the stockade, and took post at the first opening. The brave Bur-
mese (these fellows were really Burmese) fired a few rounds at the
infantry as they advanced towards the stockade, without doing
them any harm, and then bidding our men farewell, scampered off
into the jungle, making their debut into the plain, at the very open-
ing where Lieut. RICMAILDIOII had posted his cavalry. Oar fellows
dashed at them, and succeeded in sabring about one half of the
enemy. including their leader, without any loss on our side. Great
praise is given to Lieut. Ricuwansos for his gallant and skilful
conduct in this affair.".—Bengal

ANECDOTE Off SIR ROBERT STERLE.—When this gal-
lant soldier was embarking at Portsmouth, to join the
Allied Armies under the Duke of WELLINGTON, lie
.met an old comrade in the street, who said, " Well,

Was happily realized by his promotion.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
mAltstommotisz.' .
Abraham Fowler was eaamined a third time, upon the charge of
having stolen a. 101. note and frur sovereigns, at .the corner of
Queen-street, on Lord Mayor's Day.
Mr. Tburlow, a Quaker, stated, dip as he was walking along
Cheapside, he was surrounded by a mo 6, and his pocket, containing
a 101. Haul of Ergland note and fourteen sovereigns was turned
out. He saw his money on the ground and several persons picking
it up, hut he could not reach it himself at all, nor could he identify

:~.

*the-prisoner.
An officer, who saw the prisoner going quickly from the spot,
apprehended him, and took out of his band a la bank note, and
out of his pocket fopr sovereigns. The bank note and the sovereigns
were covered with mud. The prisoner said he bad found the note,
and that the sovereigns were his own.
Mr. Thurlow refused to take his oath that the note was his,
but he produced the number of it, and the marks upon it, and af-
firmed that it was his property.
The LORD Maros, who had on a former examination men-
tioned that such refusal was excessively injurious to the ends of
justice, then gave the note to Mr. Thorlow, but be did not con-
sider himself justified in also giving the sovereigns found upon the
prisoner to that Gentleman. His Lotdship regretted that he was
under the obligation to resign the sovereigns to the prisoner, which
as they. could not be identified, could not be disposed of M any
other way.—The prisoner was then dischged.
BOW-STREET.

Harry Holt, the pugilist, was charged with committing an assault
on sonic persona, named Crane. The complainants went into Holt's
house, in Cross-lane, Long ecre on Monday last, having, as they
said, been detained in the neighbourjtood to receive some money,
when their ears were assailed by very gross language. Holt's friends
were playing at cards and dice. A friend of the complainants on
entering the room, put his hand on the seat before he sat down,
when it broke under him. Holt came into the room, swore at
them, and said he would not have his premises destroyed, and or-
dered them to leave the house. Not doing this so spun as he
expected, one of them was dragged out by Holt, and his wife stood
before her husband, to protect him from Holt's blows, when they
fell upon her, and injured her severely. Holt, in reply, said he
denied the charge, and called Handley, an officer of Queen-square,
who was in the room at the time the fracas happened. Handley
said, that when the seat was broken, which he believed was done
by some one standing on it, Holt came-into the room, and remon-
strated with the complainants, when be received the abusive
epithets imputed to Holt, front the elder complainant, whose wife
was in the room. The man also put his fist in Holt's face, and de-
fied him to display his pugilistic powers. Holt was rather dis-
pleased that he should be thus treated, but be preserved his temper
in a *try becoming manner, and desired him to leave his house • the
husband refused, and resumed his abuse. Holt then took hold of
the man and put him into the street. The wife flew at him and
attempted to scratch his face, but her gloves being on, she was
unable. This statement was confirmed by another witness, when
Mr. Mau observed, that because a man was a pugilist and fol-
lowed the profession as it was termed, although be was not very
partial to it, yet another man was not to put his fist in his face to pro-
voke him to take an unfair advantage, particulatly the Landlord of a
pablic-house' who, in all probability, was disposed to keep peace in
his house. Upon the conflicting testimony he dismissed the case,
and directed the complainants to the Sessions, but " no," they re-
plied,; a they would go to a higher authority with Mr. Holt," and
left the Office.

Jeremiah esim, driver of the hackney-coach, No. 231, appeared
before T. Harts, Esq. yesterday, upon summons, to answer the
complaint of Mr. Walbourn, for wilfully driving against and up-
setting his gig, and thereby damaging his property, and endangering
his life. ,
Mr. Walbourn, we believe, is the Gentleman who so delighted
his lieges by the enactment of Dusly Bob, at the Adeiphi Theatre.
—lt appeared by his evidence, that being out on Saturday last in
his gig, he had occasion to call at the King of Prussia Theatrical
Tavern, In Wych-street, and accordingly drew up at the door, close
to the curb-stone, when the defendant, this Mr. Jeremiah Quin,
who was driving iis coach close behind him, called oat ...ig Are you
going on there, you Sapid f" Mr. Walbourn replied that be was
not. " Then have your b—y wheel off!" rejoined Jeremiah,
and Instantly driving forward against the gig, it was upset, the
hinder part of it broken to pieces, and Mr. Walbourn thrown out
against a shop window. Mr. W. added, that there was plenty of
room for him to have passed without doing this mischief: and his
statement was corroborated by a Mr. Ayres, who witnessed it.
Jeremiah contented himself with a general denial of the facts al-
leged he did not say he would have the wheel off ; he did not run
against the gig wilfody, and there was not room for him to pass.
Mr,Masaa add, he was well aware it was a ammo practice
with hackney-coachmen to play off these " larks," as they called
them, open persons who happened to be driving lighter vehicles
than their own—they thought it *a good joke to upset what they
termed a "Johnny Raw;' but be would see whether this scandalous
practice could not be checked.
Coadliee 'pas than hoed in the full penalty of al. with costs; and
baying paid the money, he was discharged.
GUILDHALL.
Aim Frothy, a geoteelly-dressed girl, was brought up by her
father, a respectable goldsmith, under a charge of misdemeanour, in
bombing his windows and ether disorderly conduct. The-father said
dfst it was with pain he was obliged to bring his daughter forward,
but her conduct was so unruly and turbulent, that he did not know
what to do with. her, About a yearnece he had her up before the
Magistrates of Hatton-garden, but it bad no effect. She breaks his
windows and destroys his tools, pledges his property, and applies
the money to her own uses. On Tuesday night she broke his win-
dows, and used Violence towards bee brother. He had got her
several situations, but she has been seat home from all with the
most dreadful character. He is suite afraid to go to bed at night
lest she should murder them.
The Alderman asked if she was of sound mind?
The father said he did not *new, be had tocen asked the question
by many persons. She was of sufficiently sound mind to do him
serious injury.--She was then asked U sbe could pay the damage ?
—She said if she could she would not, and she was then sent to the
House of Correction.

QUERN-AWARE
Yesterday, Afead, Reynolds, and Ease", underwent a final exami-
nation, upon the charge of stealing a ituandty of lead from the
powder magazine at Chelsea College.
Additional evidence having been gone into,lfload was committed
for trial; and the other two were discharged, but ordered to find
sureties for their good behaviour;
Thaws Latildainga, othestirise Lash, was brought up for ne-exa-
ininationron a charge of meeting a silver watch from die dweilias-
blouse of JAae Oman, Prity-ealloW, Pinalico•
It appeared that tho pdioner came to the house of the prosecu-
•triz on Friday afternoon, and told her that his master's washer-
woman was dead, and as he was last arrived in town, he intended
to recommendolsen—,dituben requested to be allowed to dry his
Moabite by the Sae. Witness's watch WI bgi gb g over
onuitieplem. In a few moments the prisoner suddenly left the
loom. taking the watch with him; which was almost immediately
missed. A pursuit took place, and the prisoner was apprehended.
The watch was afterwards found in the garden of a Mrs. Fork. •
Cooper, an officer of this establishment, proved searching the
prisoner, and finding two duplicates, one for a silver watch, the
'other for an umbrella ; also, a gold hair brooch with a heart in the
centre, which were ordered to be advertised.
The prisoner declined stating with whom he had lived as groom,
saying discovery wonld be his ruin. He admitted having a sister,
the service of the Countess of Guildford. The prisoner was
committed to Newgate.

HATTON- GARDEN.
Boosuato larricas.—Join Atones, a respectable-looking old man,
in a very genteel suit of black clothes, and his arm in- a sling, in
consequence of a severe accident, as be stated, was,brougbt up -in
_

custay of the cheers of the Mendicity Society, charged with being
a professed begging letter-writer, and consequently subject to be
punished under the new Vagrant Act.
Mr. Walker, one of the Managers of the Society, attended to
state the case. He mentioned that a respectable Gentleman, to
whom the prisoner had applied for relief, had referred hint to the.
Society, and on investigating his case, they had discovered that he
been in the habit of circulating his letters for nearly two yean, and
receiving very large aunts froni the various Nobility. Upon the
Duke of Buccleuch and Lord Gower he imposed continually.
Mr. Craven, an upholsterer in Southampton-row, stated, that the
prisoner had been in his employment, which he Lad left under the
pretence of declining health, but really from an aversion to anything
like an industrious occupation. Mr. Craven had relieved the pri-
soner from time to time until his importunities became exeeisive.
The apparently well experienced in pleading, very in-
genliouesprilylner tended, that his case did not come within the operation
of the Act, as he was perfectly well known and acquainted with tall
the parties to whom at any time he addressed letters.
The Magistrate, however, not conceiving that the intimacy and
friendship between bins and the Duke of Bucchruch wasi exactly to
the extent he stated, sent hint to &edit with humbler classes of so-
den for one mouth, at the treed-mill to the Howie ul Compection.
