Thursday last. The Fancy applauded them very much. They
sparred several rounds. Langan is improved in science, hut ap-
pears to require, like Mr.' Nlathewils Ap Llewellyn, to " become.
thinner." He slops scientifically, and uses his wrist to great advan-
tage. He planted some sniebers ok his antagonist's " day-lights,"
and received a return of the compliment, to the delight of the
spectators. It appeared that he might niter his mode of standing
before his man, and be the better enabled to retrograde. His frame
is exceedingly powerful, and will bear ninth hitting. He strike,
with astonishing force with the right hand. Reynolds stands in ad-

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, OCTOBER 27.

- _
James Melville was indicted for transposing and re-
moving from one piece of wrought gold plate to ano-
ther the mark of the Goldsmiths CoMpany.
Mr. ALLEY stated the case for the prosecution, and
observed, that the present indictment was founded upon
the 38th of George HI. which subjected the party, upon
conviction, to seven years transportation. The prisoner
was a watch-case-maker, and the charge now made
against him was for selling to a person of the name of
• Tyar, a watch-maker, a watch-case, upon which had
been transposed this mark of the Goldsmiths' Company.
The circumstances of this charge have been fully
detailed in one of our Police Reports. There was a
Strict cross-examination of the witnesses for the prose-
cution, in which the prisoner's Counsel endeavoured to
thew that the circumstance of the stamped watch-cases
being in his possession, might have proceeded from
other causes thap intentional fraud.
The evidence for the prosecution having been gone
through, Messrs. ADOLPHUS, BRODRICK, and PHILLIPS
were heard at great length, on an objection founded on
the indictment. The drift of their argument was to
shew that the Act of Parliament contemplated an ava-
ricious motive, and not the mere transposition of one
piece c f pure metal, and attaching it to another—the
end of all crime of this sort was profit ; but it had not
been attempted, on the part of the prosecutor, to prove
that any advantage had been derived by the transposi-
tion (supposing it to be proved), to the party accused.
. Mr. ALLEY, and other Counsel for the prosecution,
were heard in reply ; after which the RECORDER sum-
med up the evidence, and the Jury, after being absent
an hour, brought in a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner
appeared very much dejected.
William Potato's, a youngnsan of highly respectable
appearance, was charged with embezzling one pound,
the property of his employer, John Dimock, a linen.
draper, in Holborn.
The prosecutor produced his books to prove that the
prisoner had not made en entry of some goods pur-
chased at the prosecutor's shop in May last.
Ann Hutchinson, the customer in question, having
proved the purchase and the payment, the prisoner was
culled on tor his defence, when he said he had given a
brief to Mr. Andrews, who was not in Court.
Mr. BRAD RICK came in at the moment, and most
kindly undertook the prisoner's defence.
The prosecutor was recalled, and stated that Mrs.
Irlutchinson's purchase had been made on the Sd of
May. Ile understood the prisoner had set up in busi-
ness as a linen-draper. He knew he.was defrauded, be-
cause the goods bought by Mrs. Hutchinson had not
been entered. Sometimes there might be more money
in the till than was entered in the book. lie had not
taken the money out of the till on the night of die Sd
of May. Witness kept a tally shop. A number of re-
spectable persons were called to the character of Patti-
son, who spoke most highly of his integt ity.
The CONIMON SERJEANT summed up with his usual
precision, and die Jury, after consulting for a few mi-
nutes, asked leave to retire.
They were out of Court nearly an hour, and, on their
return, cronounced the prisoner Guilty, but strongly
recommended him to mercy. •
Olathe Allen was indicted for cutting and maiming
her husband, John Alien; with intent to do him some
grievous bcsrily harm.
The prisoner appeared considerably agitated when
placed at the bar, and was allowed to sit in a chair.
John Allen deposed, Croat he was a waiter at the I horse-
shoe and Stan public house in fleet-street. On the 20th
of September, the prisener, his wile, was employed in
the !anise. Whilst the v. itness 'A as cleaning the windows
the pi isoner threw a knife at him, which missed him.,
About half an hour afterwards witness went into the bar
to breakfast. The prisoner was thete, and some words
passed between them about a fern de. The witness said
he did not care a d—n for any woman. The prisoner
said, if he repeated that expression she would stick him
with a knife which .she had in her hand. The witness
did not reheat the expression, but in about a minute
afterwards, the prisoner aimed a blow at him with the
knife. He taised his arm, which was cut by the knife.
Cross-examined.—His wik was jealous of a female
servant in the house named Anne. He did not, on the
morning when the occurrence took place, use irritating
language to his wife.
He did not tell his wife that Anne was going into
the country for a week, and that he intended tu accom-
pany her. It might be in consequence of the irritating
language which tire witness used that his wife struck'
him with the knife.
William Smith, a potter at the Borse•Shoe and Star,
deposed that he saw the prisoner strike at her husband
with the knife. lie had just entereslabe bar. The
prisoner and her husband had been qUarrelling.before
he came, and the former was iuflarned with passion.
Another witness deposed, that a short dine before the
prisoner stabbed her husband he (the witness) saysthein
speaking together in apparent friendship.
The COMMON' &MEANT here observed, that it was
savident the prisoner had stabbed her husband underthe
influence of -sudden passion, and not with malice pre-
pense. If death had ensued 'under those circumstances,
it would ma have been murder according to the mean-
ing of the statute, .and he therefore directed the Jury
to acquit the prisoner.
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The prosecutor applied to the Court for his expensei.
The Foreman of the Jary.—My Lord, it is the opinion'
of the Jury that be should not be allowed his exi,entes.
The COMMON SERJEANT.—Gentlemen, the Court will,
act on your suggestion. He shill not receive them.—
There is lault on both sides.
Anthon Rogcson was indicted for wilfully setting

of which advantage I should have been deprived if the fire had
tkken place. If I had intended to burn the premises, I should not
have placed the coals where they were found, which is dividfireed ilorn
the staircase only by a thin partition of wood, so that the must
have been instantly discovered. I believe that the coals were placed
there by the same evil-disposed persons whose insults have almost
driven me to distraction. I trust that Goa, who watches over the
meanest of his creatures, will enable you to see that I am the object of
a conspiracy, and 1 hope you will pronounce a verdict of acquittal"
A number of witnesses appeared, who gave he pri-
soner an excellent character for quietness, g nature,
and humdnity.
The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoner.
James Fay, a notorious fellow, who was committed
from Guildhall a few days back on a charge of robbing
a sailor of 18s. which he had obtained under the pre-
tence of procuring the tar a situation at Lloyd's Coffee-
house, was tried, and found Guilty of the offence.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

. -
Yesterday, Thomas Leppar was indicted for defraud-
ing Alder of 221.195. The prosecutor having occa-
sion for a horse, the prisoner took him two, the price of
case of which he stated to be 25, and that of the other
23 guineas. He represented himself to be William Har-
ris, of the firm of Harris and Muller, of Gravel-lane,
Borough. The prosecutor took the horse at 23 guineas
on a .11. On the following Monday the prisoner went
to him for the money, giving him a warranty for the
soundness of the horse, ,which he signed " William Har-
ris ;" and received a check for 221. 19s. for which he
gave a receipt, signed also " William Harris." It ap-
peared, however, that he had purchased this horse from
a horse-dealer in the Blackfriars-road, named Harris, as
an unsound horse, for 201. and that he never reccived
any authority from Harris to gu in his name to the
prosecutor. The horse was idcutified, and proved not
to be worth 121.
The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to
three months' hard labour in the House of Correction.
Henry Jones and George Edmonds were indicted for
breaking into a house in Surrey-street, Strand, on the
19th instant, with intent to commit a felony. The pi i-
soner Edmonds was seen at half-past six o'clock in the
morning to lift Jones up, and put him in tin oegh the
parlour window. The servant maid, however, coining
down, he leaped out of the window, and both prisoners
ran away. The servant opened the hall-door, and cried
out " Stop thief." A man named Havre st6pped Ed-
monds; but Jones carne up and rescued him. They
then fled, were pursued, and finally secured in Holy-
well-street, Havre never having lost sight ofJones until
he was arrested.
Edmonds was Acriuitted, but Jones was found Guilty,
and sentenced to sirmonths' hard, labour in the House
of Correction.
Thomas Edmond Wilmot and William Poundred were
convicted of an attempt to commit a burglary in the
house of Mr. Ansley, at North End. They were de-
tected by the 'gardener, on the premises, after having
made a fruitless attempt to get into the house through
''the windows. They were sentenced to two months
hard labour in the House of Correction.

KEAN has, during his present visit to Ireland, drawn
houses in Cork, Waterford, Newry, Aitnagh, London-
derry, and Belfast, to the enormous amount of £4OOO

At the Chichester Sessions last week, Peter Peofold,
under-carter to Sir C. BURRELL, Bart. who was
brought as an evidence against the head-carter for steal-
ing hay and straw, was himself tried and found guilty,
the head-cal ter, whom he accu'ed, was acquitted.
ROBBERY, AND A REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF Cou.
RAGE AND PERSEVERANCE.—Saturday- night last, as
John Smith (who was a few years since a farmer and
razier at Somersham, in Huntingdonshire, but who
now, through the depression of the agricultural interest,
is obliged to keep a small day-school, which scantily
supports him in his declining days), was returning from
Cambridge to Somersham, by St. Ives, on foot, he was;
met by a .sttoug young fellow, within a mile and a hall
from bottle, who accosted him in the following manner:
Stand' and deliver I" " Deliver what?" said Smith;
"all you have," said the man; when he instantly
wrenched the stick with which Smith was walking froin
his hand; and gave him a severe blow on the fore part,
of.the head, when Smith staggered and fell. Upon the;
robber's throwing himself across Smith, he asked him 111
he meant to murder him ? he said, he meant to have all
he had ; Smith then seized fast hold of the hair of hie'
head, when a scuffle ensued for two or three
and both rose from the ground together. Smith-still
taking hold, told him he should go back With hitn,
which he refused; then; said Smith, yon shall go for-,'
ward with me, and immediately clittin lais Mild ftvnst
his hair to his collar, forced him &Mut hdlf a mile
on the road, when they reached a cottage and called op
a man of the name of Savage, who assisted Smith in

ELOPEMENT HlGbf LIFE.
An affair, which has plunged a highly respectable
family into the deepest distress, is likely, we under-
stand, to occupy the talent of some of our Gentlemen of
the long robe at the next Assizes. A most amiable and
exalted Ecclesiastic, residing about nineteen miles from
town, became deeply enamoured, about two years_since,
with the youngest daughter of a Baronet, who was on
a visit at the house of her uncle, a General Officer, in
the immediate neighbourhood of the worthy Divine's
residence. Considerable ingenuity was resorted to on
the part of the Rev. Gentleman to obtain an introduc-
tion to the object of his tender regard, which was ren-
dered extremely difficult, from a misunderstanding be-
tween the General and the . Divine having then been
only recently decided by legal process. It was at last
effected through the kind and disinterested exertions of
a Captain of a Regiment of Infantry, a mutual friend
of the parties. The Rev. Gentleman did not lose the
opportunity his worthy friend's kindness had procured
him, and the result was, that, after a few weeks, the
fair one yielded her hand to her idolizing admirer.—
The honeymoon was passed with much happiness on the
paternal estate of the bridegroom, in the county of Suf-
folk, after which a tour to the classic shores of Raise was
projected and enforced. The party returned about
three months since, and took up their residence at then-
estate, which now had become doubly dear to them
from the recollection of its being the spot where
Love first with warns return was met I"
They were no sooner settled than4almost naturally) the
,friend, through whose instrumentality so much happi-
ness had been gained, was invited to spend his autumnal
furlOugh with them. The invitation was accepted, and
about six weeks since the gallant Captain, attended by
his " man," at rived from his regiment in Ireland. We
can suppose the hospitality and kindness with which the
soldier was treated ; but (sometimes fatally)
" There is a charm in woman's eye,"
at the shrine of e hich even friendship and honour yield.
Its truth was top fatally proved in this instance. 'I he
24:h of the present month the Captain's leave was to
expit e. Its approach was regretted by all, and as the
hours stove on, which were so soon to separate them,
every luxury which could 'conduce to the gratification
of the remaining ones was profusely and cheerfully pro-
cured. Mit th and revelry seemed to banish the pangs
which remembrance brought with-it; and the intellec-
tual society of some literal y friends of the clergyman
was resorted to, to cheer hours that might otherwise
pass wearily. The last day' but one before the sepata-
non, had at length arrived, and it had been previous!)
determined on for a parting dance at the Honourable
Mrs. An early dinner was ordered, and, in the
interim, the Captain and the Lady went to pay a morn-
ing visit at the cottage of the Lady's aunt, about a mile
distant. We blush to relate the arst. The hour of din-
ner arrived, and no guest or mistress returned. Suspi-
cion had not once entered the guiltless mind of the in-,
jured husband, and he endured the most severe of men-
tal tortures in his anxiety for the fate of his wife and
tiiend. Mrs. S. was sent to, but had heard or seen
nothing •of either, and then, and only then, was it sup-
posed possible, that the Lady had made a guilty elope-
ment. Her chamber was entered, and a great part of
her w ardrobe found wanting. There was now little to
doubt, and the consequent agony of the husband may
he imagined, brit cannot be described.
Eveiy search was made for the fair fugitive in vain,
until she seas met on Tuesday, in Sackvilie-street, Dub-
lin, ith her paramour, whose regiment is now under
orders for a foreign destination, whither, we under-
derstand, she is determined to accompany him. The
professiotrof the inks: ed husband prevents him taking
any satisfaction but such as the laws of his country af-
ford him, and we learn, his intention at present is to do
so. The Lady is highly acconiplished, and only in her
twenty-third year. The Captain is about thirty-six, and
'ter husband ten yeast older.

Solicitor, appeared at this Office, and applied to Wit.t.Last 11..trprt
Esq. in behalf of George Furnace, and contended that by the I.:th
section of the present Vagrant Act, it was competent for the Ma.:
gistrate to ;discharge him on his entering into a recognizance, ma'
finding surety to prosecute his appeal With effect at the next Sew
dons. Ilia object was to gain time to sift into the character of the
witness, against whom he knew nothing at present to her disparagsa
meat. Mr.' Reeves argued the subject at great kngth, and cob.
ttndea that without such a disehargethe appeel waa a nullity, fee
the defendant would have received his punisnaent long before the
appeal could be determined.
Mr.'l3strErr delivered his opinion also at great length. Re re.
ferred to the eases of Rex v. Brooke and other., 2 T. R. 190, and
Rex v. Rhodes, 4T. R. 290. 1,1 the flamer case,it was decided by-
Ashurst, Buller, and Grose (Justices), that commitments in execu-
tion were not bailable, aitla'oogja toe party underwent the punish-
ment before the appeal was determined. In the latter cas; the
same doctrine was recognized by Kenyon (Ch. J.), Ashurst, Val-
lee, and Grose (Justices). Mr. lienett observed, that after this
broad principle laid down by the Jet'ges, the strong impfession on
his mind was, that this commitment, being a commitment in ext.
olio's, the prisoner could not lie baited.,
Mr. Reeves solicited further time, and the case was permitted
to stand over till Thursday next:

• Public Office, Union Hall, Octslar44. 1
Sin—Having seen it reported ha many-of the public prints that
you, attending as Clerk ot the Peace at the lase StSitolli held at
Kingstonotpon some teppeal. from convictions of mine under the
Vagrant Act being called on, r.swrte(l-
- That it was imperativeon the Magistrate to bind over Svittlesset
in support of a conviction sentencing the offenders to the Hulse of
Correction for the term of one nwpth under that Act ;" when the
truth is, he has no such power whatever : and being unwilling to
believe you could have so mi.informed in point of kw the Court
of which I am a constituent member and you the officer, I shall be
happy to receive your datial of such report, that it may be as pub.
hely contradicted as it has been widely alissentinared."
I hate the honour to remain your most obetient v•rvant,
(Signed) MAURICE SWABEY.
To Charles John Lawson, Esq.
Snivel( Lodge, Sept. 24, 1823.
Sic—l-laving been engaged all the morning in attending a Caw
ntittee at the Sessions House, I have been unable to reply to pat
letter till this moment.
The public papers are certainly incorrect in stating that I gave it
as my opinion, at the late Kingston Sesssions, that it was imperative
on the Magistrate to hind over witnesses in support of a ct
ttvietistl
sentencing an offender to the House of Correction for the term it
one month under the Act: "
The opinion I gave and still entertain was, that any Magistrate
committing an offender against the Act to prison until the mu Se.
sion, was required to bind over diapasons apprehending him to ap.
pear at the next Sessions.
Ido not pretend to recollect-the precise words I used in giving,
that opinion, but this ik; the effect of what I said.
What you allude to in stating that v you are a constituent mein.
ber, and I the officer of the Court to which the opinion was g.sea,".
I do not understand.
In the abuse which has been so unjustly and indecently heaped
upon you by the hirelings of the public press, many things are natal
la* have been said by the Court the Counsel, and the Clerk of the
ace, which never tell fehin their lips.
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
CHARLES .10EIN LAWSON.
