FUFFOLIC.
STURGEON. V. INCLEDON. •
This was an action brought to recover the amount
of a surgeon's bill, incurred by a pour women having
accidentally been knocked down and hurt by an ult.
rely horse, upon which a Gentleman named lncle.
don was riding, at the back of the Angel Inn, Ips-
wich, who immediately, influenced by the tenderest
humanity, sent for the nearest surgeon to attend upon
her, and fur which, though the injury was very slight,
a bill ot AE-1, 7s. was sent in,. and demanded, but atter.
wards augmented to the sum of £5. I Is. four guineas
being added thereto tor attendance. The sum of
three guineas had been tendered to the surgeon by a
friend of Mr. Incledon's, in discharge of what him-
self and his friends conceived to be a most eserbitant
demand. But no defence being made to this action,
a verdict was of course given for the plaintiff's full
demand.

-WILLIAMS V. RASSON.
This was a pitons action, to recover penalties for
sending letters otherwise than by the Post Office:—
The Act of Parliament (42 Geo. Ill•) any
person sending a letter or letters, packet or packets
ietterS, &c. sbalibe subjected to a penalty of les for
such offence." The platotiff sought to recover seve-
ral penal Lies, there being several letters done up in.a
piece of brown paper; and the declaration charged
the defendant ;van sending 16 letters; but as there
-was no count for sending a packey of letters, Serjeant
FAERI., for the defendant, insisted upon this being a
fatal variance, and consequently that his client must
have a verdict ; but his Lordship was of opinion that
a verdict for one penalty must be given, as it could
not be said that there was not one letter sent ; and a
verdict was given accordingly.

LINCOLNSHIRE.
LYON WEST W. ANN rALDIER AND MIMS.
The plaintiff in this action is a surgeon, and the
defendants are Overseers of the Poor at Stow, in this
county. The question to be tried was, *whether a
medical man, having been called in by an overseer to
attend a pauper, can continue to attend alter he is
discharged from doing so, and can make the parish
pay his bill for such adverse attendance on the ground
mat the state of the patient required it 3 A pauper,
named Long, was affected with a liver complaint,
and 'after 044 attendance for a fortnight or three.
week:, the plaintiff was desired not to go to Stow any
more on Long's account. Tire bill, at th 6 time,
amounted to IC ; and the plaintiff continued to at-
tend the pauper and send him medicines, and iperfor-
Mai the qt.:ration of cutting through his back, to
ice him relief from en abscess oo his liver ; end at
last the bill was swelled to between et° and r€so.
The defendants paid a 715 into Court, and contended,
that was all fcr which the parish was liable.
Mr. CLASSIC, for the &fence, pleadild the danger of
hying ipittieses at the mereg of apothecaries and iti-
want quacks ; 244 -
Mr. Strjeant Vavoitarr, is reply for the plaintiff,
urged the Inhumanity of the case in forcibk language,
and trusted that his client would not, for the charity
he had ahem' the poor object to whom he had been
called, be saddled with the expenses of both sides in
this action, which would be the effect of a verdict for
the defendant.
The Judge (Heim) said, that an apothecary had
no.right whatever to make a charge beyond the time
of his being dismissed from attendance, unless he had
an order of a Magistrate for continuing its and that
was a strange snit of charity which was to be paid
for out of ether people's pockets.
Tfie Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for two
guineas, besides the sum that had been• paid into Cottrt.
The Judge desired that they would re-consider their
verdict ; and, after a few minutes, they a second time
gave the plaintiff two guineas damages.
It was therefore announced by the Counsel for de.
fondants, that a new trialswould be moved for in the
Court above. The plaintiff's demand was £5l.
SURREY JULY SESSIONS.

AT..THODIAAPS PARIAH, SOUTHWARK, D. MARRISON,
&Oa V. CHAPMAN, 160). AND OTHERS.
A question of considerable importance to public
Charities was decided at the above Sessions, touching
the liability of the Officers of public Hospitals to
die payment of Parochial Rates.
It appeared, that the Officers residing within the
limits of St. Thomas's and Guy's Hospitals in the
• above parish (the former of Royal nundation and
the lattet incorporated by the 11th Geo. I.) bare
never been rated for the relief of the poor till the
month of May last, when a rate was made charging
them therewith, against which the Hospitals appalled
W the Quarter Sessions, insisting, that the Office; s
belonging thereto were exempt from poor.rates, they
being merely resident within the Hospitals as the offi-
cers belonging thereto. The Court were, however,
un.inimonily of opinion, upon the evidence adduced,
and hearing Counsel on both sides, that they were
liable to be rated, and confirmed the rate accordingly.

It is with considerable pleasure we recommend to
the notice of Parents and Governesses, a little work
vatic)) has just appeared, entitled 66 Private Education ;,
or, a Practical Plan fir the Studies of young Ladies."—
This little volume fills up a niche an the class of-ele-
mentary books which has been long felt as a deside-
ratum by those who have the charge of instruction in
private families.
Messrs. DOWTON and WROUOUTON have retired
from Drury-lane Theatre, the former to undertake
the conduct of those Theatres which 6ave be,n here-
tofore under the management of his relative, Mrs.
bAKEtt : the latter has left the stage altogether.
Tuesday night a fire broke out on the premises of
Mr.Tudgce,baker, John-street,Bath,which spread coo-
• siderible alarm, but by the prompt arrival of the en-
gines it was speedily suppressed. Mr. T.'s loss, bow-
erf.s. is vary severe, as in addition to what was con-
• by the fire, a loft, containing a large quantity
of iour. feU clowns and tha COMM were destroyed.

POLICE.

BoW.gilterf...Yetterdity a 'ming man, of the
turne of Loris ear, was brought to the office in the cus-
tody of two .privatss in the First Regiment of Foot
Guards, -charging him with being a desertei, which
attracted a great crowd about the Office, principally
shoponates of the young man. The soldiers were
not prepped to prove the charge, saying, a serjeaut
who had enlisted the prisoner told, them so; this, of
ctiurse, could not be received as evidence, and they
then said they would go and fetch the serjeant, but

he was not to be found.
Mr. Johnston, the principal in a firm of a large
brass manufactory, in New-street, Fetter-lane, whew
100 men are employed, attended, and stated that the
two soldiers came to his manufactory that day, and
behaved very rudely charging him with hattapiring
a deserter. He told them, that a young man of the
name of Miller, had lately worked for him, who had
deserted from a regiment, and on the discovery being
made he bad left his employ. He told than also,
his men were then about to come out to gn to their
dinner, and if they saw any deserter among them
they could take him; they accordingly seized upon
the prisoner. Mr. Johnston assured Mr. NARES, th-
Sitting Magistrate, that the young man had wo: led
for him for the last three years, and that he had lately
returned from Scotland, where he had been to see his
relations. Mr. Johnston said, he would answer In-
his forthcoming at any futute period, and the solditrs
failing to produce the serjeant, the undeftaking.was
accepted.
GUILDHALL.—Yestcrd ay Mary Woollen was charged
with stealing a quantity of canvass and other pr.,-
'pertv, fiom the warehouse of Maberly and C. of.
Paul's Wharf. on Thursday last. The prosecutors
deposed,_ that on the day mentioned, the prisoner was
noticed exceedingly busy in putting tip some parcels.
and her intentions being sitspacted, the Vk as so ane.d
upon her departure in the evening. Being intim°
gated as to any knowledge of stolen property, she
utterly denied it, and when charged with having that
property about tier, she flew into a rage. A stanch,
however, being .hr, awned, she drew Irons b,•nesth
her clothes a parcel coatsining a quantity of canvass.
After this she begged permission to retire into :he
yard, which was granted t • she was obstrved, how-
ever, to enter the privy, and snspiLion being strongly
excited by this circumstance also, a search took place,
and a quantity of property was there found concealed.
The prisoner was fully committed.
Wonnite-sra !CET. •••• TENJi V E ROBCERv.---Ahout
four o'clock on Sunday moraing last the back window
of Mr. Jennings' warehouse, a sills-manufacturer, in
Worship-street, was discovered to be open, and, on
further examination, the door communicating with
the counting-house was also tounA open, and, in en-
tering, a .aOO and a note Were found, loosely
wrapped up, on the floor, as if they had fallen from
tome person who was in a hurry ; this created alarm,
and the iron chest, which is kept there for the purpose,
of depositing all the money received in it, was like-
wise found open, and about £6200 of its contents
missing. No suspicion attached to any person at this
time, but Mr. Jennings gave information at this Ot-
tire, and John Armstrong, Jos. Armstrong, and 11.
Gleed, the officers, went in consequence to examine
the place and the servants; the result was that they
promised Mr. Jennings they would soon product the
thief if he gave.them the tiunsber of the noses, which
they soon obtained- A young m.in, named Bailey,
veto lived several years in the employ of Mr. Jennings,
and in. whose houtsty and integrity great confidence:
was placed, v.as the person who loelscd up the orate-,
house, on the night of the robbery, and he remained
after% ards with the maids, which was unusual, until
eleven o'clock, when he went into the yard, on pre.
tence of being ill, but was seen after;•ards to go out.
It further appeared that he bought some new clothes,
and from the activity of the officers seine_ of the
stolen notes were traced to a tailor, in Bishopsgate.
. street, where it was ascertained he bought a coat and
waistcoat. More of them were traced to another:
tailor in Cornhill, where he also purchased some
clothes. In consequence of these circumstances lie
was taken into custody. The officers then went to
search his lodgings, at his father's, in Dove-cot art,
Hackney, and, after considerable trouble, round the
following notes concealed up the chimney s—oue of '
£5O, four of £5, and 26 ones ; all of them sup-
posed to be of the stolen property. The/ulnae: was
remanded for another hearing. .
U aura-FiaLLe— Claim,* was charged by
Gabel Larkin, a watchman of, St. Saviour's, with
violently assaulting him whilst in the discharge of hii
duty. It appeared from the statement of the watch;
man, that the defendant, with two others, was
behaving in a riotous manner in the street, be.
teen two and three o'clock is the morning ; the
witness went up and desired they would be peaceable,
when the defendant struck him over the head with a
large stick so violent a blow that the stick was broken.
The prisoner appeared to be verr much intoxicated.
This statement was corroborated by another watch-
man. Mr. Clements did not deny the charge, but
said the watchman ran against him first ; and as to,
the stick, it had been broken before, aad was only
glued together, and therefore easily came apart again.
He was ordered to find bail.
MA a LBOILOIJOH•STRW.••• Pair/a/how was chat
with highway robbery. The prisoner was a Chelsea
pensioner, and the prosecutor, Martin Connelly, was
a pensioner also. They had received their arrears of
pay on Thursday, and agreed to proceed together to
Ireland, and stay at Brentford the first night. The
prosecutor got disguised in liquor, and when in that'
state, he felt the prisoner's hand in' his pocket which
contained the notes. He charged him with robbing
him, when the Prisoner knocked him doien, and said,
'. You scoundrel l •I will murder you." This affair
happened on Stanford-bridge, near Walsham-green.
The prosecutor lost his money; he was found lying,
in a state of insensibility on the bridge by JaCkson, a
butcher, at Waltham-green, and Mr. Dowel of the
same place saw the blow given by the prisoner. Fully
committed for trial.
HA TION center.e.--Yesterday James Cara:, a
working-cutler, was charged withjfeloniously breaking
and entering the apartment of Mrs. Ann Holmes,
Little Gray's Inn-lane, with intent to steal. The pro.
,secutrix stated, that she left her apartment between
eight and nine o'clock ***the morning, and fastened
the door with a padlock, and went to the King's-road,
where she sits daily with fruit to pell, big

o'clock, discovered the padlock to be taken of the 1
door ; that after pushing the door tor some time to'
get admittance, it suddenly dew wide open, whin she
'Mw the prisoner, who had taken beveral articles of
wearing apparel out from a trunk in the room, and
had placed them with a counterpane and a sheet, on
the bed, ready to be taken atvay ;*the witness seized
fast hold of the prisoner, calling out thieves and mur-
der, when he snuck her a violent blow on the neck;
and ran away ; he was pursued by Thomas Watts
and limes Moysey, who took tlie prisoner in a shed
in Poi tpool-lane. The prisoner, in his defence, stated,
that the room of the prosecutr.x was open, that he en-
tered the same in search of a sloip mate, but denied
having any intent to nib, and said that his master was
present, who would give him a good character. The
master, on the contrary, stated that a few weeks since,
his counting house had been entered, and upwards .of
in cash stolen diet-rout ; and it appeared den
three keys, supposed to belong to the prisoner, were
14und lying on the bed, wi;h the property belonging
to the prosecun ix, one of which keys fitted the lock of
his ma.ter's counting-house. = The prisoner was fully
committed for trial, but to be brought up again, when
other etArges are expected to appear against him.
