MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 2.

SIR GEORGE DUCKETT, SART. V. WM. SOTHEBY, ESQ.

In this case a Special Jury was convened in conse-
quence of a precept issued by Sir George Duckett, to
ascertain and determine what sum he ought to pay Mr.
.Sotheby, as a recompence fir the loss of an acre and
two roods of ground marked oat as part of an intended
line of canal running from the river lee navigation, in
the parish of Stratford-le-Bow, to the Regent's Canal, in
the parish of Bethnal-green, which Canal Sir George
was em powered to cut by an Act of Parliament obtained
last Session. There was on this occasion the confliction
of opinion usual in such cases, the witnesses for Mr.
S nheby estimating the value of the land at about 8001.
and some so high as 9701. while those on she other
side valued it at 370/. and some so low as 2001..

' Mr. Ridge, a lessee of the premises under Mr. Sotheby,
who owns the fee, appeared by Counsel; but it was
'objected he had no right to be heard under this precept,
•in which his name was not mentioned, and the Learned
Chairman yielded to the objection.
After an investigation which lasted from the sitting of the Court
taitil past six o'clock, the Jury returned a verdict, estimating Mr..
Sotheby's claim of recompeure at 6001. • .

adjourned lnqtrel was held on Wednesday last; brit in.
consequence of the absence of a witness, who wieldiest'
to prove an alibi, on the part of Ralph Weston, theinati
accused by John Diggle, the decisive inquiry wee Vilft
postponed, s hen a stone. mason, named Steen
Who is a man 'of character and respectability, de-
posed, thit R 411 Weston came to his hOuse at abbut
half ast'sii'.dclbck on SatUrday evening; the Ist of Oc-
tober (thitight on Whieh:theiturders were committed)
and that he slept there with Mte of•his sons, and did not
depart till between riiiii.and-ten o'clock on the Sunday
morning. Weson was acc•rdingly discharged, and a
verdict returned by the Jury of "Wilful Murder against
John Diggle anti other persons unknown." The prisoner
was then committed on the Coroner's warrant, and de-
livered into the custody of Jonathan Chadwick, con-
stable of Rayton (the officer that apprehended him) who
last night arrived with his chatge in this town (Bol-
ton) on his way to Lancaster, and lodged him in • the
&Silvan till this morning, when they proceeded to their
placeof destination. Diggle is a young man, five feet six
a:jell& in height ; but with an overhanging brow, and
astern cast in features: He evidently laboured to as-
sume a carelesshess of manlier, but frequent and heavy

unconscious ;.but when be endeavoured to suppress them
cher turned to a 'groan, and he seemed roused for a um-
rtient-te'scstate of self-government: yet a relapse was
p‘tavable, and his eye sharply glanced upon his
nfiseriess;and surveyed, wiih a wild and hurried look,
the apartment in W!i.ll he WA': =fined.

Edward Green, a decrepit pensioner, blind of one eye by
and nearly deprived of the other, in consequence of a di,turts,„,--1
at a pudic-house. staggered-into -the office, and demanded an;
dience of the Magistrate. The,parisb officers had called upon hi
to allow a portion of his pension, but the facts he said were „out,
clearly expressed in the following letter:

As the Commissioners of Chelsea hospital would rot end' r ale
so serious a task as to seethe applicant right heeded. and al it Wii
probable, from the appearance of the man, that dare were of „.
persons ready to undertake to send him home, it was decided nut
the pensioner's case involved so many interests, that it was adtiaa-
ble for the Magistrates to remain neutral. -
THAMES POLICE 4
J. Lewis and W. Robinson, both well known fresh-water pions,
were accommodated with three mon:las board and lodging, withtle
addition of wholesome exercise at the Tread Mill, for boarding tic

their furnished lodgings. The father, a very industrious man, v
at Gravesend on business, as a lighterman, and in his absence be
vixen of a wife pawned the property, aril gave the duplicates toile
daughter to convey to her father, which were found in the stockisp
she wore. Immediately on the father learning the fact, he
himself op, and was in consequence discharged with his daughter;
and the vile wife was committed for trial.

It appears from the New York Papers taut the
graceful habit of smuggling slaves i:ito the United
States is still practised. It appears from an t,dverti:e•
men; of the United States District Attorney, in the
New Orkin., Courier of the sth ult. that seven ern ne-
groes and a mulatto, shipped at Havanna!), hare been
smuggled into the Mississippi, by a vessel beating the
American flag, in contravention of the 6th swum, of
the Act of Congress, of Apiil 20, 1818, relative to de
Slave Trade. About halt the negroes have been seized
by the Inspector of the Revenue, and are repies,:nted as,
in general, intelligent, and able to give a clear account
of their origin. The object of the advertisement is to
advise all persons, that, to hold, sell, or dispose 01 any
of these negroes, or any Other in a sim lar situation, as
