The purse given by Thomas Gandy, Req. was rowed for on
Wednesday, by seven wherries, each having tour oars and a steers-

MIDDLESEX SASSIONS, SEPIEIIMER 12.

John Endersby was indicted for receiving 551. from
the wife ofJohn Turpin, under false pretences.
Mr. ANDREWS, in opening the cue for the pro-
secution, stated the following facts :—The defendant
Wai a lodger in the house of Mrs. Wisdom, of Ity der-
street, St. James's, in March last, when an attempt
was made tseenter and rob the premises. Upon th rt
occasion the window of Endersby's room was forced
open, and Endersby saw the face of one of the thieves,',
whom he afterwards swore to be Turpin. After the
latter ha-1 undergone one examination at the Police-
office, Endersby went to his house, and proposed to
Mrs. Tur pin to suppress his evidence against her
husband, if she would give him 1001. This she was
unable to; and aft: r several negotiations he consented
to take 351. weicls she succeeded in raising, by bori ow-
irg 301. of a friend, wise sold out stock•for the purpose,;
and pledging soms or her furniture to make up to it
lest. This sum she delivered to Endersby, upon his
melte taking to suppress or soften down his evidence i;t
such a way as to secure her husband's acquittal.
When the trill came on, Enders.y appeared as a
itness against Turpin, ehu was coevieted of the
burglary, and the wife now prosecuted Ludersby for
the above offence.
Mr. ANDREW% was then proceediti to prove the above facts, when
Mr. ALLRY :Omitted that the Counsel tor the prosecution w..ts
hound to prove .the introductory allegations of the indictment—
mmely, the conviction, ace. of John Turpin, before he proceeded
with the subsequent facts of the case.
The Crum:taw decided that ibis was necessary; and the Jury,
under the slfrections of the Court, returned a verdict of IVot Guilty.
WATER V. FIRE, Olt THE CORN-DOCTOR'S EFFIGY.
J. Bennet, and a whole family of Wilsons, consisting
of 1 pumas, the father, Jobe, the mother, and George,
James, and 2 pumas, their sons, stood indicted for riot-1
ously assembling in the parish of St. Pancras, and
assaulting John Mason, and Jane, his wife. Mr. BARRY
conducted the prosecutors' case, and Mr. Paisleys the
defence.. The facts, as eteted by Mason and his wife,
were these:—
The mac prosecutor was formerly a cabinet-maker
by trade, but is now by profession a corn.doctor, "and
snore than that," said he, raising himself in the box
upon his toes, "I am the first corndoctor in the king-
dom." As soon as the roar which this modest claim to.
prefessional pi e-cminence excited had subsided, the
doctor proceeded with his evidence. At about half-
past ten o'clock on tt:e night in question, he was at-
trasted to the door or his house by a great noise, when
he was alarand at the sight of a large tie quite close
to his premises. Around this were co:lected an im-
mense number of boys and women, and several men,
all hallooing and thouting, and busily occupied in burn-
ing sornstiiiiig over the tire. Upon examining this
something, he began to suspect that is was iiinuself;
"but,' said the doctor, e I sooty knew beyond a doubt,
it was myself ; for upon observing me make my :Is-
eeneelce, CA: buys cried out 'turn the old rogue.'
This proof of ieen.ification again 'convulsed the Court
. with laughter. " But," observed the. Learned Chairs
man, I see you ere not even scotched; pray
whit, than, were the boys really burning r " I will
instantly she your Worship," replied the first corn-doc-
tor in. the kingdom ; and turning to his wife took a
bundle out yf herotimse which was tied up in an old
apron. and which he very coolly and cautiously began
to untie. While this operation was going forwasd, the
. Court and atiditory awaited the result in anxious and
awful suspense, supposing that the doctor had b en
speaking metaphotialy, not of his wife, for she like
him stood before them unsinged ; but perhaps of cue of
his chiltisene-"Another self, seformed in finer day"—
and they. foie :suititip .tong the dread spectacle of a -poor
little human being hall-roasted to death by the clue!
uschine Lathe effect be imagined, then, when the
first coin-doctor in liiieland held up to the gaze c.f the
admiring spectators, his "other self," in the shape of
an exceedingly old and patched pair of bieeches, sniffed
with hay and tags; and holding it above his head, and
turning it sound ins every side in triumph, gi 'flng, your
Winship," said he, " this is sue thee they were burning."
lie theft proceeded to state, that one of the defendants
(we could not, tell which) wanted to drag him out to
fight; that they spat in his face, and in short maltreated
him in various ways, }chile Mrs. Wilson "harked" the
boys fot ward upon their game. The fact was, the Wil-
sons wanted to force hint to quit his house, and he was
in terror of their actually setting fire to his premises,
and burning himself as well as his effigy. Here the nar-
rative was taken up by Mrs. Mason, a lady somewhat
stiicken in years, and bearing a much stronger tesens-
blsnce to certain characters in 111acbelh, than the effigy
did to the doctor. She happened to be out "doing
business"—(she did not mention the nature of it, and
the Learned Counsel had not the nerve to ask her)--at
the time the rioters were assembled before her house; and
upon her return tali:ill-past eleven o'clock, she at once
perceived that it was her husband's effigy upon which
the bonfire was acting. She was no sooner observed
elian she was bailied with the uncomplimentary epithet
of sold b—," and was also spat upon. Having, as the
Counsel stated, held a cureultation with the doctor, she
determined to oppsse one element to• the o: her, and
hiving a gallon can in the house, she soon contrived,
s:ith the aid of I, r husband, to , till it with water.
Armed e jilt this, she sallied forth, and setting Vulcan
aridlYs votaiies at deft nice, she sceitered the contents
of she can so judiciously around her; that she not only
succeeded in extinguishing the lire, leis in a few Minutes
putting the rioters to flight, and bear6g off the remains
ut lisr husband's effigy in triumph, aftersit had first been
used as an offensive weapon against the doctor,: at
wham it was hurled • upon his sallying forth trim his
fro tree, to support the gsllilet and successful set tie of
his wife.
. After affording half an.hour's exquisite mirth to the auditory, the
trial terminated in the conviction of the elder Wilson and his wife,
aisit die acquittal of the.uthrr delendauti. The feud between the
two parties originated, it ho said, in a disputed claim N the premises
occupied hr the doctor. •

IMIBLIV PONCA •

Tuesday, a most extra ndiniry case was tailed on
before the Magistrates of the Head Police-Office. A
young woman, with very bright black tys, and rather
well-lonking, stared to their Worships that she was in
great dcubt %%heater she was the wife of cne Peter
Harmai, with whom she had .now heed more than two
years. Petri. Harman, she said, was an cid pensioner,
and she believed a stout veteran in the rinks set war,
consequently she had no ohjectinn to P,Ner Harman in
that particulir ; but the neighbouts'rottart about Irr had
got a nasty habit of abusing ind backbiting (people
must be talking), and saying th4t she, II nor Cromie,,
was not " the lawful weddei wife" of old Peter Har-
man, the pen inner. Now if she was not his wile, she
did not want to live with him, but worth! seek some
younger man ; what made her think that that every
body S:4O mu-t be true" colcerning Peter Harman's
gist marria,,,,c thy• in adOitietit to the tepoits r•f the
eigfibou-s, an old ugly blear-eyed little %%llrnan was
in the habit of coming to their tenement in %Vino-tavern•
strect, 9.l,ete she abu•cml Pet.2r Hagman anJ her (the
complainant), desiring her in very.fiefie language, not
to be a-co:rabiting with an-thlr natratati's husband :
now she br,:oght this same old woman to their Wor-
ships Office, and they would find her persist in saying
not only that she was the wife of Peter, but also the
*mother of two of his children .

The Magistrate looked at the old woman, as if he
%.ere about to ask her a quest;on, %hen she instantly cited
oet, as quick as the words could be spoken-4. All true
as the Gospel, please your Worship : my name is Ca
t•etine Ryau; litany is the long year ago since this old
villain mar. ied me, a young innocent creatur.l Oh, it
yon were to see the two boys we had, both dead, one died'
in Barbadoes; I was ancle deep in blood with the old cut.
throat before now, and this is the way he leaves me;
he'd do anything that is bad ; this li.tle minx here made
him turn from the Church of England to the Choi cirot
Rome. Cmn your Worship do nothing for :lie? I know
you can, but you won't. I have my certificate, but the
mild Iell:tw burned it ol me."

Peter Harman then s-epred forward, and combing
down his white locks with his brawny ha.-,d, said—
" Please your Worship, as to what that them Katt°
Ryan says ab:)ut this hem busiite, it is all ajlam ; she
says as how she he's my wife; if she be, where te the
certificate? I think I hove her•there, your IVursliip.
Cit:h a fox asleep and his eyes open I' no, no, I know's
a trick worth two or that"; AS to the two children, she
be right and tight there ; but az her had she one of
them Akre she got twoscdr
First Wife—Ali, your Worship, I Was an innocent Limb, and
couldn't help myself ; but this one was never married at ail at all
to him, Wrist she was married before.
Magistrate—You hear what this woman says. Were you ever
married before you met with Peter Harman?
Second Wife—Me married! Oh! Loan, no, your Worship; it
was only a disappointment !
Magistrate—A disappointment! Ido not understand you.
Second Wife—Ah ! your Worship will slime the life out of me.
It's well enough ; you I; Dow what it is fur a girl to be disappointed.
Magistrate—l mast confess Ido not understand you.
Peter Harman— Ah ! your Worship, she was married to a errithrtr
that was for all the world the likes at herself; he was nos: compush.
Magistrate—Well, Mrs. Cromie, I am atr..id that although you
have brought the complaint, you are the most likely person to be
tried for bigamy. Were you divorced from your first husband
when you married Peter Harman?
Second tVife—Oh, no, your Worship ; but you know when he
was not fit for a husband, bow could Ibe his wife? Besides, the
complaint bas been already dismissed by Alderman Archer, In
James's-street l'olice Office.
Magistrate:—That Is quite impossible, Mrs. Cromie; for Alder-
man Archer has not the power of divorcing.
Peter Harman—ls that all your Worship knows about the law ?
Oh, but he has, and I have it under his own baud ; sure the Alder-
man gave it to Honor Cromie himself.
Magistrate—ls Mrs. Ciornie's first husband aware t►at she has
married a second time?

Peter Harman—That he be, your Worship ; for he came to me
the d iy. after our wedding, and wished me joy of ber ; he be as
hour at 1 cronitr, Sir, as ever wore a cravat.

First then, what am I to do, Sir ? Must this one have
two husbands, and I ilia: a one ?
blagistrate-1 do riot know—l dismiss the complaint akozether
—you must settle it among yourseive,
This decision did not seem to please any of the parties,
excepting Petertlarman. It was evident that the young
wife was anxious to. get rid of the old man, while the
old wife wi,heCl to retain him; but neither obtained the
object of her wishes.
A HEAVY Loo.—Monday, a lubberly-locking sailor
applied to the Magistrate of College-street Police, for a
warrant against his Captain, for striking him.
The complainant said he had been stew r.l of a ves-
sel from Quebec to Dablin ; that the Captain had, in the
course of the voyage, given him several beatings, of
which he kept a regular log, and wOtkld, if he pleased,
show it to him.

'rhe Nlazistrate said he should certaiuiy have no ob-
jectioo to cot' such A Cut io.ity.
l'he steward accordingly produc, 4 tepaper, on which
were the following item to the credit of the Captain
Jaw 5,...,Wrad-fair--,Captain in a foul bad humour; only said
there bias Mg land like the land of Liberty (meaning America), for ,
which Captain said he would take the "liberty" to give me a kick
in-lha- stern-port ; :did so accordingly—a cruel hard one.
ts' June 7. Wind changeable—was remarking that the intecking
hf a.gun was out of order. -Captain desired me to mind my own,
at the same time his foot let me know that my back was turtvd to-
wards him. Remarks—Captain can't bear to hear any one say his
s'aip he cat the best on the station.
"'June 25.—Wind S.S.E—Told Captain could not grind any'
more coffee. . You can't grind tsays be.) No, says I. Then what
use h.:ve you with all them grinders, said he, and he knocked out
my front tooth Remarks—Captain would go more than an arm's
length for a joke. D—d fond of puns.. punish him yet far them.
" Jtily strong breece; ship going ten knots an hour;
only told Captain the beef was anything but sound ; be fold me I
deserved a round threshing for saying so; said I could'nt let a bit of
it into my stomach, as it was as tough as a cable ; then, says he,
you shall get yourbelledtof a ropeiend; Captain too smart with an
answer; will make hiarristerg for it.
0 July 10.—Captain toiidtng me all day, and gave me a blow on
the cheek ; Lord knows Captain has too muchjew of his own at all
times to attempt having anything to do with anotbet's ; 11l make
him laugh on the wrong side of his mouth for all this; he shan't be
always a letting his hand go cheek by jowl with my chaps; no @hap
could stand it."
The Magistrate, after complimenting the complainant
on the. ingenuity and novelty of his log-book, desired
ale .clet k to give the Steward a summons to his Captain,
answer the complaint.
