. LEWES, AUGUST J.
RIONOIAN V. SIRJRANTSON •No WIF 6.
Mr. GAIROW told the Jury, that this was a cafe
which called upon them for their moll grave and le.
' tious attention, inafmuch as it involved the future
profperity rata very young and very honourableman.
fhe Plaintiff in this cafe was an attorney, and the fin
of a clergyman, who had ofucated him with the
greatelt care and attention, fo as to qualify him to
become a refpeetable member of that predation which
he had (ince become amember of. The Defendant,
Mrs. Serjeantfon, was a lady tefiding at Cuckfield,
arid the piiffetted an eftate of pool. per annum. The
other Defendant, Mr. Serjeantfon, was no way impli-
, cated in the tranfadlion, as he was joined in the ac-
tion merely !meanie he was the huflraod of the lady,
for, in fa& he had lived with her bat 12 mon,hs af-
ter they were married, fnr he found it more conveni.
ent to live apart. The Plaintiff had had great ex-
oeEtations from the Defendant ; the lead promiled
him much, and as the was his godmother, he had con-
ceived hopes that tome of thole expedtations might
have been realized. He had, however, to appeal to
a Court of Jullice for reparation for a moll cruel in-
jury which he had fuftained at her hands. The adlion
was brought for an affatilt and false imptitonment,
and in fag tile imprifonment was by sieiivcring him
into the euflody of an cffieer,,charging him with a
capital felony, in having ;token fixty pounds from her
dwelling !mute, which, at the was pleated to fay, was
done on the following meat-ion :—On the loth of
March lak the Plait:tiff, by invitation, WAS to have
dined at Cuckfield Place, the houfe of the Defendant.
He did not, hOwever, dine there, but be arrived alter
dinner. This at firft difpleated his godmother : how.
ever the became pacified, and in the evening the em-
ployed him in forting and indenting parcels of let.'
'en. She next made him count leveret parcels of
money, which were put in feparate bags and ticketed;
and then it was the took it in her. head afterwards to
conceive that he' had robbed her, and that the had
Peen him flip the limy guineas into his pocket ; but
if the had done In, would it not have been natural
that the fbould have immediately complained ? But
not In. The young man' retired to bed, breakfalled
there the next day, and took his leave as anal. He
paid one nr two intermediate vilits between that time
and the 23d of March. when he was taken into cot
tody ; and then in coniequence of a letter from Col.
Serjeantfon, the lady's ton, he attended at Cuekfield
Place. The Colonel told him that he had lint for
him on a moll unpleafant buGnefs, for his mother
charged him with robbing her of !ivy guineas. The
young man wa's thunderftruck at the charge, and
when he had recovered the powers of his mind, vin.
dicated himfelf from the charge. He was (hewn into
the lady's bedroom, and (hot tly afterwards the con.
Rable made his appearance. and then the following
curinns dialogue enfoesi. Xtrhen the conttable ap
peared, the :tddreffed him—" Ali ! Collies is that
you i"—" Ye', Ma'am." w Then take that fellow
into callody." •' Pray, Ma'am, what fellow?"
•' Why, that fellow Morgan." " Morgan !" ex
claimed the ennllable, in a furptize. •' Yes, that
fellow, Tom Morgan." w For what mull I take him?"
w Why, he has robbed me " The conltable hefitat-
ed, and " But am I warranted to take hum
without any warrant r. " I tell yon take him," Laid
the lady." and let me have no altercation ; I know
your office better than you do. If you let him go,
I'll he but I'll play hell with you." Under
this fevere injunßion, the conflable did take him. He
was kept in the miltorly of the Headborough all
night, and having intportatre butinefa to trantaet a'
1
1 the Affixes at Hortham the next day, he was permit-
ted to. go there, the conttahle accompanying him.-
1 The Defendant, however, though the had frill own-
tunity of following up her charge, the Grand Jury
being; than fitting, having worn out her grange freak,
1 permitted the Plaintiff to be let at large. It was for
this injury he now fought reparation. Mr. Gar row
then went into an able Itatement of the value of cha.
rafter to a prorellional man, and initiated the jury
to award him molt ample damages.
Jacob Cnffin, the conflable, Rated. that he was tent
for to CuAfield Place, on Sunday, the 23d of March;
he faw Mrs. Serjeantfon about five o'clock, in the
bed room. He then detailed the converfation as Mr.
Garrow had Rated it, except a. to the (wearing ;
the only Paid, if he let the Plaintiff go, the would i.lay
the devil with him. He took the Plaintiff to the
Talbot Inn, at Cuckfield, and there he delivered him
into the care of Mr. Crouch, the Headborough.
Thomas Crouch, the Headborough, depofed, that
he kept the Plaintiff all night at Cuektield. The next
day he accompanied him to the Allies at Hortham,
and in the evening, as Mrs. Serjeantfon preferred no
regular charge ngainft him, he permitted him to ga
at large.
Ann Green, the maid of Mrs. Serjeantfon, Paid,
the remembered Mr.M agar% coming to their hottie on
the toth of March, after dinner. He slept there that
night, and retired between eleven and twelve. Her
mullets did no: retite to rest until five in the mot n•
ing. After that vilit her milker, stied to throw out
hints,fuch as " Green, you know i am very correa
in my accounts."—" Yet, Ma'am."—" t can take
my oath to Of what, Ma'am ?"—" That
the money is flolen." At length, one morning, the
laid to the witnefs, " Green, fit down on my bed;
remember I am going to place great confidence in
you. lam robbo.l."—" Really, Ma'am : when
-" On my fon's birth-day. I will believe my own
eyes. I law Morgan (hurtle the Sixty guineas into his
poeket."—w Really, Ma'am (faid the waiting maid),
and you let him go away i'"—" Yes; that was
through delicacy." After this converfation, when Mr.
Morgan came the next time he was apprehended, in
the manner Rated by the former witnefles. On trots-
examination, the laid, that on the night of the loth
Mr. Morgan flept at Cuckfield.place ; his room door
was open en the morning ; the went into it to tidiVCi
a metrage from her mittrels. He breaktalled there,
and nothing was Paid. It would have been quite eafy
to have detained and fearched him, if her miltrefs
had been fo inclined. !kr neillrefs, Rue hid, was

- Mr. SerjeariClFiiniiiiii... ._.
dreier(' the Jury in a very &vont fposch, in Which
he deflect' the Jury not tngive heavy damages. He
argued that the Defendant bad ailed from miffake,
and it was flora wealtnefs of mind, and not from
malignity, that the had ailed. He raid, he could
not adduce a llronger profit' of dotage, than that an
old ssoman of leventy, with soool. per annum, (hould
have, within three years, married amen of thirty.—
lir :Itlmitted the Jury mull give a verdict againfk
her, bur he hoped the damages worild be temperate.
The LORD CHIEF nAitow ohlerved to the Jury, that
this was a cafe which requetled the greeted atten.
(ion, and a calm and temperate confideration. The
plaintiff flood in this lunation, that he mull iiveley
the nodnets of his character, and the confidence he
would thereby acquire with the public. He was not
like a man who retailed cloth or other wares. The
conduelof this woman had teen to flrangle this young
gentlemar. :n the birth of his profellinnal life. The
Jury had heard of what value character was to an
Attorney, and it had been well laid, that that e were
two molt oppofite laces of that ,qafit. The bad ones
were loJles human; gewrir, but then there were others
As excellent. He then law in Court three of the lat-
;er charailer—the Clerk of ng Priw, who fat below
him ; the Gentleman on his right hand, whole ex.
cellence he had known for twenty-five years pet (Mr.
Meyon, Solicitor of the Excite), and the Gentleman
on the other fide (Mr. Jones, of Tonbtidge) ; thefe
were ornaments to their profram. The young
flemletran, who complained before them on that
day, had to complain, that as far as in the defendant
lay, the bad ruined his profpeet of enjoying the fame
cliarader. He had Caere(' a grievous injury, and
they would give him ample recompence.
Verdi& for Plaintiff—Damages One Thoufand
Guineas.
The Special Jurors did not attend in the other
ranks, and the Agnes concluded.

At a meeting of the Commiffioners of the Prn-
petty Tax, held at Leeds Rotation Office, on Satur-
day 1.4, a perfun in the neighbourhood was fined in
treble the amount of the duty on the intereft cot feven
hundred pounds, in confequctace of his having refufed
to make the mortgagor any allowance, agreeable to
the A.R.

Yellerday morning, as a lad, about 53 years old,
the fm of a waterman named MACKEIN. of Arundel
Stairs, was proceedin% to moor his father's boat at
the buoy, the pole, by which he was forcing the
wherry through the water, flipped, and he unfortu-
nately fell into the river. Although every endeavour
was made to recover the body, they were unable to
find it until about half an hour afterwards. It was
then conveyed to a neighbouring public hoofe, with-
out any figns of life, when every attempt to reftore
animation proved in vain, although the afilflance of
feveral medical men was procured.

On Saturday a veal coming into the King's Dock
Btfon, Liverpool. run againtl the wall, where a boat
was lying with four men in it, who had not time to
get her nut of the way. In this alarming extremity
one of them threw himfelf into the water, two others
wet e forced into it from the coneuffion, and the 4th
jammed between two of the upright timbers fixed for
the ptcfet vation of the wall. In this miraculous bo-
nnets. the three firfl were Caved without any injury,
and the latter efcsped with no other damage tbah a
bt uife in his leg and in a few of his fingers. The
boat was (love to pieces.

Saturday, as the darer of the Bicefler waggon,
from the George Inn, Snow-hill, was going along
the Edgeware road, Beeping on the fhafts, he fell
dpwn, when the broad wheels pallid over his body.
and lolled him on the fpot. The fame day, as a
waggon was turning in:n the Bull and Mouth Inn.
yard, a man's leg got jammed between the wheels
and the gateway, by which one of his uncles was
crufhed to pieces.

On Sunday the fon of Mr. Ix scow, a refpeamble
gentleman of Hertford(hire, was fent to Midhurit, in
Suffolk, by the coach, to be placed at felsool, when
immedidtely on quitting the flage,he ran to the river
to bathe, and immediately fell into the Mill-tail, and
was drowned. His limes and ftockings being left on
the bank caufed an alarm; and, after repeatedly
dragging the river, his body was recovered; but
notwithilanding tl,e efforts of two medical gentleme n
the refacitory plan was ineffedual to his recovery.
A few days fince, a woman, a bafket-maker, near
Taunton, out of revenge to a poor labourer, who had
built a hut on a fpot of wafte land near her orchard,
undertook, at different times, to dilate her ditch be-
yond its ufual bounds, fo as to undermine the poor
fellow's habitation, with a defign to throw it down:
after making a hearty meal, the fsvore that fit- would
finifh her work before the Sept, and at !aft cempleted
her heinous intention; the houfe fell, and the was
I crnfhed to death, and appeared a moll ()socking fpec-
tacle.—Luckily, the poor man, and one of Ills
chil-
dren, who were at thdt time in the houfe, efeaped
unhurt, though they were in imminent danger.
Tuefday an inquell was held at the /ritife of Mr.
Williams, in Honerlane Market, on the body of H.
