BRIONTON, APRIL 24.

This being the dar appointed for celebrating the
natal day of our beloved Sovaattox, the morn was
ushered in by the ringing of the bells, and the flag
was hoisted Ott the- venerable tower of the •Parish
Church. An hour after mid-day, the 51st Infantry
and the l9th Lancers were formed in a line, the for-
mer two deep, hearty occupying. the full length of
the 02d &eyrie; the latter nearly forming their right
Rank, and extending along Pavilion Parade; directly
Oppezite to the Palace. Here a feu-dejnie took
place, and was twice repeated, the bands of the two
corps, as the colours were depressed, playing the
first part .of -GOD save the King between each, and
at the close of the whole. The firing was adroitly
managd, and the effect. brilliant.. At the close of
the third round the huzzas of the military were in-
spiriting; and in which they were heartily- joined by
the crowded. confluence of spectators. The day wls
favourably tilight,*and_the Spectacle imposing. The
interest it e.xciied was universal ;- the feelings of the
heart sparkled .in. every eye, and were apparent in
every impulse. The fort guns were not di,tharged,
owing to some persons being much indisposed in the
neighbourhood; and interest having been effectually
made to prevent iu Preparations are now general
for a splendid illumination this evening.

On the 2Sd instant died, at his house on Black-
heath, PETE* LAWRIN, Esq. of Ernespie, Scotland,
aged 58, sincerely regretted by his family and friends.

Yesterday, the Dukes of YORK and SussEx paid
t_leir respects to the KING.
Yesterday, the Duchess of YORK was much better.
The Duchess of KENT, accompanied by the Prin- '
cesi ALEXANDRA NA, visited the Duchess of CLARENCE,
yesterday.
Yesterday, being the Anniversary of the Birth-
day of the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, in the morning
her Royal Highness received the personal congratu-
lations of the Duke of YORK, Prince LEOPOLD, the'
Princess SOPHIA MATILDA, and a number of private
friends ; most of the other branches of the Royal
Family sent letters of congratulation. Gloucester
House was thronged during the day with Nobility,
Gentry, and persons of distinction, to leave their
names. The Princess AUGUSTA and a party dined
with the Royal Duke and Duchess. In the evening
a grand ball and supper was given at the Argyll
Rooms, in honour of the day.
Yesteidav, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the

The Public will not be admitted so generally, as
:pon former occasions, into.the antichamberS of the
House of Lords on.the day the KING goes to open
t!,e Parliament. His Mmarrv, we are told, has
r''.preistd disapprobation of such general admission;
and, in consequence, no perion will, on any account,
ba adnitred without a ticket from Lord GWYDIR,
'Deputy Great Chamberlain of England.
Sunday evening last, between eight and nine
r clock, as Mr. PETRE of Vauxhall, was walking in
:.!le garden, ".t the back of his house,'he Was sad-
kic!.ly alarmed by the discharge of fire arms, ap-
i-aently near him, wait the same moment some-
thing whizzed by his head, which proved to be a
i,tol ball, as it lodged in the wooden paling
From the direction of the smoke it is supposed
t;;;: shot was fired from the high road; but although
immediate search took place, no one to whoni
ocricion could at all attach was discovered, nor
uld Mr. Paraß give the most distant guess at the
a.-,s;tiin by whose hand he was so near falling. The
ball waslified:

About eleven o'clock oh Monday night, as Mr. J.
7:lnca:watt., clerk to Mr. Vanes, a Notary, in Sweet;
;:,g's-alley, was crossing. the fields from the Blue
;..ion Grhy's Inn-lane, to Bagnigge Wells, he was
• dotin, and dreadfully beaten by thee ruf-
fians; who tore away the skirts of his coat, contain-
a pocket-book, in which were above £2OO in
r.otcs, as well as bills of exchange, &c. The wit
;.:etning a labourer found the bills of exchange torn
pieces, and the pocket-book. Mr. Baockwkst,
t. i> said, lies dangerously ill.
KiNo's THEATKE.—The Opera lias began to re-
s.:me is wonted attraction ; although not so crowded
last nigl.t as on Saturday, there was a numerous
display of rank and fashion to witness MOZART'S
exquisite Opera of the Magic Flute, and the very
ppular Ballet of Adolphe et Matilde. Among those
present were notichl-•-•
Duke of Argyll; Duchessei of Arun and Tlichmord ; Mar-
C.::.:.n4.sses of Salisbury and Anglesca; Earls Beauchamp, Scar-
• and Lansdale; Countess St. Antonio ; Loris Betu..
• Cranbourn, Lava's, Yarmouth, and I'ctrc ; Ladies
Codrington, Farquhar, Hyde Parker, Pag.q. Owen,
Cowan*, Louisa Lygon, C. Paulen; Sir John and Lady Lei-
ec;ter ; Sirs thomas Farquhar Charles Asgill, John Murray;
Jinn. Colonel Lygon, Hen. Farquhar,
Bouverie, Dlr. Fftemantle,
Nr. Wynn Helasyse, &e. &e.
lhatv-LANF.—The Tragedy of king Lear was
repeated last night with, if possible, increased suc-
cess. DEAN'S Lear is indeed a masterly perform-
assce, and cannot fail to prove of lasting attraction.
—ltAu's Edgar is likewise excellent; and all the.
ether Lharacters are sustained with great ability
a: effect. _ _

VENT-GARDEN.—Henri Qnatre was last night.:
for the third time, and was again enthu-
-. as ically'applanded. This piece must long conti-
r .e to, attract, for it is decidedly the very best of cur
rtiotiein dramatic. productions.

COURT of. KING'S 13ENCH-THIS DAY.

• ,
HUNT'S MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL

The Loan Can* JiSTiCE having intimated tbat
he would this daj hear Mr. Hunt's motion for a new
trial, the COort was tan early hour crowded in every
part. With Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT, there were
on the Bench, Mr. Justice liAitaa and Mr. Justice
HOLnaTD.--Shortly after eleven o'clock,
Lord Chief Justice Ainiori inquired if Mr. Hun!
was in Court ?S
• ,
Mt. Hunt, 1% :.o had just arrived, stepped forward,
followed by the other defendants, Joseph Johnson,
Bamford, and Healey.
LORD CHlliti JUSTICT.—Ifr. Hunt, You will now
state briefly .to the Court, the grounds on which you
intend to form your motion for a new trial. We
are,„to understand, I presume, that the other defend-
aini concur in them ?

Mr. Hour.-:—Yes, my Lord.
The other defendants signified their assent..
LORD CHIEF JUST icz..—What is your first ground ?
Mr. Hoar.—My Lord, the first ground on which
I hate to move for a new trial is, a misapprehension
of the Learned Judge, Who presided at the trial at
York," in rejecting evidence which he ought to have
received.

LOUD Cum? Jorrtce.—Evidence offered by whom?
Mr. Hu/rt.—Offered, my Lord, on my part.
LOID CERES' Jusnot.—State generally the nature
of: it.

Mr. Husr.—The evidence rejected was of acts of
aggression, cutting, maiming, • and killing, commit-
ted by the Yeomanry Cavalry, and other military,
on the persons attending the Meeting at Manchester,
on the 16th of August last.
Lotto CHIEF JUSTICE.—What is your nut ground?
• Mr. HUNT.--Nly second ground is, that the Learned
Judge admitted evidence *hich ought to have been
rejected.

LORD CHIEF JUSTICIL—What was the nature of
that evidence ?
Mr. HUNT.—Evidence of certain Resolutions read
at a Meeting in Smithfield, and of there having been
training and drilling at a place called White-moss.
LORD CHIEF JusTicE.--What is your third ground?

HL-NT.—The third ground on
.which I crave
a new trial is, a misdirection: of the Judge to the
Jury.

LonD CHIEF JUSTICE.—As how? Do you mean
arising out of the rejecting and admitting of evir
Bence, which you have before specified ?
Mr. HUNT.—Yes, my Lord—a misdirection arising
out of these circumstances.

LORD CHIEF JusrzcE.—Proceed with your next
ground.
Mr. HUNT.—My fourth ground is, that the Jury
gave a verdict contrary to the evidence.
LORD Cum JUSTICE.—Have you any more
grounds?
Mr. Hurr.—Yes, my Lord, a fifth, which is, that
the verdict given by the Jury, was contrary to the
direction of the Judge.
LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE—Are these all your grounds?
Mr. Horqr.Yes, My Lord.
LORD CHIEF JUSTICZ.—Mr. Hunt, the Court now
wish to explain to you• the way in which they intend
to proceesi in this Matter, The learned Judge
who presided at the trial will read to the Court
his notes of the evidence taken at York, and
when he has done that, yen will then be allowed
an opportunity of making such observations, in
reference thereto, as you may think necessary in
support of your motion for a new trial. The Court
have fixed for this purpose Monday next : the post-
ponement will be of no disadvantage to you ; you
will be then precisely in the same situation as you
are now.

Mr. Hum—Shall I hear the evidence read?
Lou CHIEF JUSTlCE.—Certainly.

Mr. SCARLZTT suggested, that the appointment
should be made with an understanding, that if the
Atterney-General should be desirous of being present
at the hearing of the motion, but should be prevented
by More imperative engagements from attending on
Monday, the Cdust might be moved to name ano-
ther day.
Mr. HUNT Was desirous that the appointment
might be peremptory.

LORD CHIEF .JUSTICE.—Every appointment of the
kind must be subject to some contingency. The At-
torney-General. may apply for another day, if he
sees CHUM

Mr. HUNT and the other defendants then withdrew.

The Address in the House of Lords, to-morrow,
is to be moved by Lord Viscount Gnat:gymLs, to be
seconded by Lord PRUDHOE. •

In the House of Commons the Address is to hr."
noosed by Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL) and seconded,
by Mr. WILMOT.
•
It is expected that the XING will hold a.Levee in
the course of next week, for the purpose of receiving
the congratulations of the Nobility and Gentry upon
his MAJESTY'S Accession to the Throne. The delay
in holding a Court tintii the expiration of the mourn-
ing, is occasioned by the feelings of reverence which
Ms MAJE.ry entertains for the revered memory of
his august Fati.er.
Monday night, at half-past ten o'clock, a Cabinet
Council Was summoned at Fife-House, by the Earl
of Ltvenpoot, ; and so urgent was the occasion, that

thorised to call the 'Members of the Cabinet lion:
their chatter parties, if necessary.

' whilst the fashionable Novels (for, alas, nothing is
so fashionable as scandal) are cutting up not only
public but private characters, it is his intention to pur-
sue an entirely different plan, namely, to strike at the
filly ss ithout wounding the individual—to give the
very sketch and scene, but to spate the actor in.each.
it is supposed, however, that there are numberless
persons who have not much reason to be satisfied.
with the manner in which the author has kept . his
promise. •

CORFU,. APRIZ. S.

Sir T. MAITLAND, the Lord High Commissioner,
has just opened the third Session of the Legislature
of the lonian Isles. His Excellency commenced his
speech on the occasion, by congratplating them upon
the perfect tranquillity of the United Isles. That
tranquillity, he observed, had been last year mo-
mentarily interrupted by the tumult at Santa Manra;
but the instigators had been detected; four .f them
- had paid the forfeit of their lives; and the property
of the fugitives from justice had been confiscated.—
That event had been preceded by the most heinous
calumnies against the executive power, and against
t• Great Britain; his Excellency, therefore, recom-
mended, that a Committee of the Legislative Corps
should be immediately appointed to investigate and
report upon it. He was determined to exercise-the
constitutional power entrusted to him with firmness,
but, at the same time, with that moderation and
mildness which became the subject of the free nation
to which he belonged. Alluding to the cession of
Parga, he observed, that it took place by virtue of
Treaties to which England had been ever faithful—
she had indemnified the Parguinetes, and granted
them the rights of citizenship in the lonian Isles.
—His Excellency next proceeded to review the'
financial resources, and congratulated them upon
their satisCactoil state. He assured them that the
Administration was actively occupied in measures
for the promotion of internal prosperity, which
would promptly be laid before them; the health laws,
particularly, would be rendered less burdensome by''
new regulations. Lord Guilford, he observed, had
been charged to:organize a plan of public education.;
After developing, at length, these points of political
economy, bi Excellency thus concluded I am
- so fully convinced of the advantages which the Con-
stitution of .1817 will produce in these Isles, that I
frankly avow to you, I am not at all disposed to
make the slightest changes in concession to the theo-
retical opinions of any one. Should experience de-
nioni•tt ate the imperfection or inadequacy of existing
enactments, I shall be 'always ready to concur in
such measures as may promote the prosperity of the
Lnitcd States of the lonian Lies."

CONSTANTIAOPLE, FEBRUAR Y 25.

The Porte has been long expecting, with impa
tience, the news of the termination of the civil trou-
bles avirkleppo. The Tartars who brought this happy
intelligence arrived hire on the 23J.
On the 3d of January, Chorschmed Ahmed, who
had formerly subdued the rebellirm in Sepia, • ven-
tured, with :30j0 Arnonts, 'an attack on the suburb
Castel el Ilaraine, which was defended by 5000 or
6000 men, and well fortified. After six hours com-
_

tut, supported by a well:directed fire of artillery,

the assailants penetrated by a breach into this pin
of the city. Above two thousand of the besieged, who
had used every house as a fortress, were killed. The
Pacha renewed his negociations, and confided them
to the Scheik, but even the authority of this religious
officer could not appease the Arabs and the Janissa-
ries who had joined them.
On the 19th of January, the Pacha made a second
successful attack, and on the 51341 a third upon the
quarter Ilaret el Rice, which was the most strongly
fortified. Chorschnied Ahmed Pacha had, however,
caused mines to be laid, the blowing up of which
opened new access to his troops, buried many leaders
of the rebels in the rubbish, and made the troops of
the Pacha, encouraged by this success, masters of all
this quarter. The people, alarmed by the progress
of the conqueror, feared the utmost from him. The
rebels induced them to commit the most terrible dis-
orders, and it was with difficulty that thelzheik and
the European Consuls induced the people to submit.
On the mediation of the Consuls, Chorschmed
Ahmed Paella published an order of the day, which
promised the rebels a general amnesty, on condition
that 53 Janissaries, who were previausly.noticed as
dangeious'to the pLblic peace, should leave Aleppo
in seven days. This being promised, the Mulesselim
(or Deputy of the Pacha) was sent the next morning
to the city with about 500 men, but in the evening
Talib Ebn Arab,one bf the most desperate incendia-
ries, excited a fresh insurrection. The house of the
lklulesselim was stormed, and- himself threatened
with death, while be was exerting himself to appease
the popular rage. Meantime the Pacha, informed
of what was passing, entered the city amidst the
thunder of the artillery, and got possession of the
fortified post Scheh Seprak. the general pardon
was again proclaimed, but at the same time it was
required that several individuals should be given up,
who bad excited these last tumults. This was im-
mediately done, and the 'Tartars who have brought
the stews of the reduction of Aleppo, also delivered
the heads of these rebels, which are exposed to-day
on the gates of the Seraglio.

Letters from Gibraltar of the 27th tilt. mention,
that the Government schooner had returned with a
favourable repot of the state cf the plague in
Africa. The deaths in Morocco did not exceed two
or three bundle.' daily. In .Mogadore they were
reduced also considerably, and were from twelve to'
fifteen daily. The cordon established by General
Dos, between the Spanish dominions and Gibraltar,
was removed on the 25th of Marrth, and a free inter-
course with Spain was establi :bed.
Extract of a Letter from St. PatTsburgh, dated March 31.
,‘ It will be remembered that the Jesuits, when they were
banished tuoin St. Petersburgh, in 1815, were allowed to remain
in the Governments of Mohilew and Witepsk, but on condition
of not taking into their schools any pupils except of the Roman
Catholic Religion ; but it having been discovered that they have
vintinued, without regard to the Bells of the Holy See and the
Laws of the Empire, unlawfully to seduce United Greeks to the
Roman Religion, and have even carried on intrigues in Suralow
and Siberia, where they had no business at all, his Majesty, on
the representation of his Minister of Worship and Public Edu-
C3tiOU, has ordered that they shall be immediately sent out of the
country ; their Academies at Polock and Wilna,abolished ; triad
measures shall bz taken respecting that which, after the reports
of the Roman Metropolitan Bishop, is to be put in their place.
Those among the-Jesuits who were born in Russia may remain
n the country, and enter into another Order."
Monday afteruoan, a fire broke out in one of a
range of new houses, in Harbour-square, Commercial..
road, belonging to Mr. Itimsus, of that place. The
fire originated from a glue-pot boiling over, which
one of the carpenters left on the fire while he went
to dinner. 'Fwo of the houses were in a short time
in one heap of ruins, together with a quantity of loose
wood ; an& a third materially damaged. The houses
were finished except the painting inside.

BOXING.
Shelton and Cooper.—Fifty guineas a-side for the battle bt-
tween these pugilists, were nude good on Monday evening, and
to be made a hundred a-side. 'The battle to take place in an is-
closure of 24 feet, on the 27th of June.. If one makes a default,
the other receives the money down.
The fight between the two ma ones, Owen and Merida:vs, ex-
cites considerable interest and betting.
SPARRING.
The Fives Court, in St. Martin's-street, was open ye;terday
for a Sparring Exhibition, for the benefit of Isle of Wight Hall:
it was rrspeckbly attended. The setting-to was very good.
The Master of the Cerenonies str.:ck for wages, which caused
some little contusion, but he was satin brought over ; and the
setting-to commenced with Lennox and Mason, who peppered
dr
each other satisfactorily.
_David Hudson and Relaseo made an excellent set-to, and ruf-
fianed each other, to the amusement of the lovers of science.
Larkin and Kendrick had a long bout to the advantage of the
former; but Kendrick behaved well, and some heavy blows
were exchanged.
Oliver and Belcher made the best set-to of the day, and much
science was displayed. Oliver parried most of his opponent's
hits, but it was a manly set-to.
Young Abbot and Tacker knocked each other about in good
style, and Tucker's left hand told well in meeting his opponent's
right handed rush.

.1(4ln:a Hudson and Sampson had a very good set-to; but
Sampson had the hest of it. Instead of rushing in, he kept
steady, and used his left hand very successfully.
Laics and IyoK cloned the sports, in as scientific a set-to as can
be conceived. The measurement and the parries, with quia,.-
rem in return, excited admiration.

BOXING AND WALTZING!
In Blackwood's Magazine of the present month is a
pleasant article on Pugilism, in which the facetious
Reviewer introduces the following parallel between
thesports of the Ring and the graces of the Ball-room,
and succes:lfully vindicates the decency of the former :
We have extreme pleasure in writing the series " Boxiana,"
and we know that it is excessively popular. It is true that one
elderly maiden Lady has written us an expostulatory epistle on
the subject, and expressed herself shocked by the indecency of
the spectacle of two enormous porters (such were her very
words) exhibiting themselves stripped before 20,000 spectators.
We answered that letter privately, and .assured the nan that
pugilists fight in flannel drawers, and that they are very little
more exposed thar young Ladies in a ball-room. We also ven-
tured to state it as cur opinion, that it islets indelicate in such
a man as Toni Oliver to give Tom lklcher a eross-buttock, than
an 0-Mcer of hussars to put one hand on the bare neck of a
virgin of 18 years old, another round her waist, and thus to
whirl her about for a quarter of an hour in his arms, till both
parties are blind, and that too in presence of 500 spectators
—.A waltzing match is, we humbly suggested, a more indecent
exhibition ti.an a boxing-match. What can be more so than to
step, ready stripped, into the ring, and bus in succession a long
series of military men, occasionally relieved by civilians? The
amazon dismisses from her embrace Captain, and Colonel, and
Knight at Arms, all panting, and perspiring, and reeling, while
she stands ektorious and unexhatwed in the ring. And who
' compose the ring? Judges, senators, soldiers, grandmothers,
matrons, maids, and among them our own shrivelled correspond-
ent. Go, Tabitba, to Moulsey Hurst, when Turner tights young
Cabbage, and then, on your conscience, tell the F.ditor of Dina-
Magoriier, that their conduct is as indecent as that of
Cornet Sahretache and bliss J1".4 Dyawayr

EDINBURGH, Arm. 22.—1 n consequence Of a
mealseller, in l3ridgend, Crieff,. having raised ..he
price of his meal one penny a peck, a number of
disorderly persons surrounded his house, on Wed-
nesday night, last week, and after breaking the win-
dows and committing other outrages, they dis-
persed, with a threat, that unless the meal was re-
duced to its former price, they would return next
day and carry off the whole by force. The meal-
seller having taken the alarm, reduced the price ac-
cordingly, and received no further molestation.
Sunday morning, John Cameron, and seven others,
the latter accused of being concerned in breaking
open the Jail of Greenock en the Bth instant, were
conveyed from thence in a steam-boat to Dumbarton
Castle, under the escort of all the military then‘re-
maining in the town. Monday morning, however,
thirteen of the Ith Hussars, and fifty five of the
Rifle Corps, first brigade, arrived in Greenock,
where they remain.
Sunday, a boy, about six years of age, named
M'Allister, having strolled into a park south-west of
Greenock, along with an elder brother, incautiously
picked up and eat some hemlock, the deleterious' ef-
fects of which proved fatal to him in about an holm,
notwithstanding the early application of medical
assistance.

Saturday morning an alarm was given of a fire in
Grahame-square, Glasgow, in a cotton-mill, the pro-
perty of Mr. GRANT. Although the engines were
soon on the spot, the fire raged with such fury, that
notwithstanding the greatest exertions on the part of
the firemen, all that could be done. was to preserve
the adjoining buildings.
Monday se'nnight, a Meeting of the Inhabitants
of Perth was held in the Sheriff Court-room there,
for the purpose of taking into consideration the pre-
sent distressed state of the labouring classes of that
place, particularly of the Operative Weavers. After
some discussion, it was agreed to appoint a new Com-
mittee, who should be empowered to receive addi-
tional subscriptions, to be applied in such a manner
as might be deemed best ealculatei to give employ-
ment to the inchutrious.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL 2S.
• Mr. Scare LETT moved for a Writ of Mandamus,
-a shew cause why Abraham Saul should not be ad-
mitted to the freedom of the City. Mr. Saul, he said,
had been bred a butcher,• aqd, being informed that
it was not competent to him to set up in his trade
within the City of London unless he was admitted a
freeman of the City, he had applied at the Chamber-
lain's Office ; and, paying a fee of El. 10s. had ob-
tained a certificate of his freedom.. Mr. Saul, armed
with this certificate, had then become a -Member of
the Butchers' Guild, or Company ; and having there
paid a second fee of £9, had been ;aformed, that, in
order to complete his character as a freeman of the
.City, he must go to the proper Office and be sworn
in : upon his application, however, at the Office, he
was asked (his name had probably led to the ques-
tion)
whether he was a Jew ? He answered that he
was not ; but his case was referred to the attention
of the Court of Aldermen, who declared that they.
could not admit a Jew to the freedom of the City.
Mr. Saul then presented a Petition to-the" Court of
Aldermen, offering to prove that he was not a Jew
and stating, that although his parents had been of,
that persuasion, he had himself been educated in the
Christian faith, had married a Christian woman, and
that his children were brought up Protestants. This
Petition was rejected ; and a proceeding was insti-
tuted against Mr. Saul, for carrying on his trade
without the freedom of the City ; and being advised
that he had no good defence against that proceeding,_
he now applied for a Writ of Mandamus. The
Learned Counsel added, that }wiled in his hand an
affidavit from Mr. Saul, stating that, according to
the prevailing custom, every Member a the Butcher:-.
Guild was entitled to the Freedom of the City?

The LOAD CHIEF JUSTICE—That would be putting
the freedom of the City into the hands of the Butchers'
Company, because they may elect what Members
they please.
Mr. SCARLETT replied, that that would snot be the
case ; because no one could become a Member of the
Company who had not first obtained the necessary
authority from the Chamberlain's Office. The fact
was,'that the City gave to the Chamberlain a certain
number of freedoms, in order that he might sell
them for his own benefit ; one of these certificates of
freedom had been purchased by Mr. Saul.

Mr. Justice BEST wished to know whether there
was any law which precluded a natural-bum Jew
from obtaining the freedom of the City ?
Mr. &ABLE TT said, that nothing as to that point
was to be found in the Chatters ; it rested en-
tirely upon usage.

The LORD CHIEf JUSTICE thought that sufficient
grotind had been sheen to induce the Cow to grant
a Rule to shew cause.

GARDEN V. ZEARD.

Mr. ANDREWS moved to set aside the verdict in
this case, which was an action of false imprisonment,
arising out of the following circumstances :—The
defendant, Mr. Beard, happened to be walking
thrOugh the Poultry, in'Cheapside, when he found
himself violently hustled, and the plaintiff rushed
by him. On turning round he found that his pocket
was opened, and, as he imagined, his pocket-book
stolen. At this instant the men fled to the other side
of the road, but the plaintiff remained stationary,
and seemed to be earnestly gazing at a shop-win-
dow. It was suggested to him, that in all probability
the two who escaped had got his pocket-book, and
that the third, who remained, was an accomplice.—
In consequence of this suspicion the latter was ap-
prehended, and conveyed to the Compter. Mr.
Beard, on his return, found that he had left his
pocket-book at home, and immediately proceeded to
state his mistake, and procure the release of the
plaintiff. This, however, could not be done till the
tollowing day, when all the circumstances were ex.
gained to the Lord Mayor. The plaintiff was dis-
charged, and soon after brought this action, which
was tried, and the Jury found a verdict forl him,
damages I:70. This sum he (Mr. Andrews) thought
was out of all proportion to the injury sustained,
the plaintiff, who represented himself to be a brick-
layer's hibourer, having been locked up but fof one
night. The verdict of the Jury, under all these
circumstances, could only be ascribed to the im-
pression made by the speech of the plaintiff's Counsel,
and he trusted that the Court would think it a case
which ought to be viewed in a different light:

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that the Court
was very reluctant to interfere, in cases of this de-
script:on, with the verdicts of Juries. They were,
however, composed of men, and were therefore liable
to error. A Rule might be taken to shew cause, and
it would be then seen what the other party could
urge in support of the verdict

Friday night, between nine and ten o'clock, as Mr.
Duni/4, of 9ainsford-street, Ilorslydown, was re-
turning home from the London Tavern, where he
had dined, he was attacked in Tooley-street, by a
gang of ruffians, one of whom without saying a
word, knocked him down with a blow on the head,
whilst the others robbed him of his gold watch, a
gold chain, and three seals and key, of the same
metal (all elegantly chased), value about 31) guineas.
The robbers, notwithstanding an active pursuit, made
their escape.
Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning, a
large porcelain warehouse, at the corner of Mor-
gan s-lane, Tooley-street, was robbed, under rather
strange circumstances, -of china and cut glass, to a
very great amount. The shop had been shut up as
usual on that night, and next morning nearly all the
stock had vanished, though net the slightest injury
appeared to have been done to any of the locks or
fastenings; at length a crate which had been closed
down the day before, was found wide open, and it is
supposed that in the early part of the day a thief had
entered, and concealed himself in this crate till the
family had retired to rest, as a housebreaking tool
was found in it. It is supposed the property was
carried off in a coach. One set of china that was
stolen was valued at OM
