NSW COURT.

William Cooper WAS indict:4 for stealing a shawl,
the property of Joseph.Thompson.—Verdict—Guilty.
Heary Baker, aged 2S, was indicted for maliciously
cutting and stabbing William Norris, with intent to
Imurder him. Tht prosecutor, a hackney coachman,
stated that the prisoner was a stranger to him. On the
9th of March he saw him standing at the door of the
Coach and Horses, in the Minoties ; it was about three
o'clock in the mo. rung ; witness was sober, but the pri-
soner appeared to be intoxicated. A waterman, named
Langley, was also present; there were no words passed
between them ; the prisoner struck Langley on the
back, and witness, in turning round, was struck through
the hand with a knife. Thought the blow was aimed
at him, and not at Langley ; the knife entered the back
of his hand and came out in the frost.

The COMMON SEROBANT said the present case would
not have amounted to murder, if death had ensued, at
there was no malice aforethought proved. The Act of
Parliament under which he was indicted required proof
of malice. If the Jury were of opinion the evidence on
that point was defective, they would acquit the pri-
soner.--The Jury acquitted him accordingly.
Williams Goundry, aged 42, attired in the habit of a
Quaker, and described as a merchant, was indicted for
obtaining by false pretences, from Mr. John Bell, a 201.
bank note, with intent to cheat and defraud him.
Mr. Amelia stated the ease to the Jury.
Mr; John Bell deposed, that he lives at Huddersfield,
and that on the first •f September last, he wrote a letter
and sent it to the prisoner, containing an inquiry rela-
tive to the New Company, and to ascertain whether he
could be accommodated with 10 or 15 shares. He re-

ceived a letter in reply, (proved to be in the prisoner's
band-writing.) stating that they were nearly all diiposed
of, but the Directors had reserved a tew for particular
inquirers. The prisoner sent word that he had con.
salted the Directors, and they were willing t• indulge
him with 10 or 20 shares ; that they had a few more,
should any of his (Mr. Bell's) friends wish to be accom-
modated. The speculation was represented as of so
promising a nature, that he might embark all his capital
in it without risk ; in consequence of these flattering
recommendations, witness sent up a 201. note, with an
order for as many shares, half of whist' were for his
brother Nicholas. He received in due courfe 10 shares
for himself, their numbers being from 9,001 to 9,010
inclusive, and his brother's were from 8,031 to 8,040.—
He had not since received any profit or advantage horn
the shares, in fact, he had lost the money which he had
advanced upon them.
IScteral letters which have already been before the public were
here put in and read.]
Mr. Baca:maws cross-examined the witness.—He
never hAd received any advantage from the shares;
the inducing motive to obtain them was the flattering
'expectation of 25 per cent. profit; at the time he pur-

'chased, he considered the representations of the prisoner
to be founded in truth ; had known him previously as
the traveller for Mr. John Nicholson, but ss hen the cor•
respondence commenced he did not know that he was
the sameperson.
Mr. Nicholas Bell, brother to the last witness, confirmed the
'material points of his statement.
William Halifax Morgan had been in the employ of
the prisoner as the receiver of messages, &c.; three
months before, he was apprehended and taken before
the Lord Mayor; never saw any tea at the office ; never
was present when particular business was going on ; he
always withdrew on those occasions; hi, master only
occupied the first floor, and ik:as, therefore, a sort of a
lodger; gentlemen used to call sometimes. and among
those who did so he recollected Mr. Marshall.
John Greatorex Marshall examined—Witness is a
commission traveller, and knows the prisoner ; is aware
that his (witness) name is enrolled among the Directors,
but it was done without his knowledge; he never had
anything to do with the Company, as shareholder or
otherwise ; believes such a Company sever ex'sted.

Cross-examined by Mr. BROBERICIG—When he saw his name
among the Directors. in the prospectus, he did nut remonstrate ;
the reason was, because be thought it A matter of no consequence—
(Loud laughter). _ .

Mr. ilatsuaascic-1 caution you, Sir, upon your sclemn oath, have
you net written some of these letters?

Witness—Never.
Mr. BRODERICE —What have you done?
Witness—l believe I have directed some of them,but only once.
Mr. Beesmuce—Take care, have you not done it frequ:ntly,
upon your oath?
Witness—l am sure I have not done it six times; I have already
said, that I have no shares, nor ever had.

Mr. John Pilling xamined by- Mr. AND ItSWS.-Wit-
ness is a hop factor and seedsmau, in the /I irough ;
kn;)ws the prisoner ; has convened with him about a
rea Company, and was solicited to be a shareholder;
never became one ; after this cony( tsition, he was at
Liverpool, when he saw an adveitisement in a L,ndon
Paper relating to the Company ; caw the name of Pullen
among the directors, which he then thought referred to
him, and he' afterwards ascertained that fact from the
prisciner; witness was surprised at the liberty, but as
his name was mis-spelt, be thought the allusion would
never be discovered, theiefure, he did not alarm him-
self about it..

By Mr. BSODIILICK. —Never had any shares, nor was he in any
way connected with the Company; had be known what be knows
now, he would have bad the matter publicly explained long ago.—
The prisoner took an unauthorised liberty.
George J. Morgan, a printer, proved that he printed the Shares
now produced, but never struck off more than 1000; his demand
had not been paid.—This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Baonzatoc here took an objection. The fourth
count of the indictment was evidently bad. It stated,
that the prisoner, by means of false pretences, &c. ob-
tained a bank note with intent to defraud John Bell.
Now it appeared by the evidence, that the 201. was not
the property of John Bell alone, for it had been stated
that his brother Nicholas had contributed 101. towards
it, and received a corresponding number of shares.
The Learned Gentleman referred the Court to the
Counts seriatim, and submitted, that as none of them
'stated the prisoner to have obtained money of Nicholas
bell, by fraudulent representations, the indictment must
fall to the ground. I
' :COMMON Siteasatry—this appears to be a point of law, and not a
subject fur theconsiderati6n of the Jury.
Mr. liaointarcx—My Lord, I intend the remarks I have made
Irar the Court.
Mr. A INDRIWI, for the prosecution, submitted that the argument of
Ws learned friend was untenable ; he was prepared to argue the case.
Common- Smuttier--I think it had better be dons now.
After a short address from Mr. Broderick, and a reply from
Mr. Andrews,
• • The Common Swam declared the indictment informal, inso-
'much as the count in question was at variance with the facts proved.
Goundry was in consequence acquitted.
Several of the Society of friends were in Court, for the purpose
of speaking to his former character.
The Session's having concluded, the Recorder passed

The remainder of the prisoners were senteoced to various periods

John Ronald. and John White.
When liniert Savage, who was found guilty of a
highway robbery, was asked 41 if he had any thing to
say why sentence of death should not be passed upon
him ;" he replied with a laugh, .. why it's an awkward
circumstance, and you must settle it among you." When
the Recorder recommended those who had deadly
weapons in their possession at the time of comm'tting the
robberies of which they had been convicted, to prepare
for the worst, Savage gave a loud Haugh, scratched his
head, and said,"he means me." Ass-)on as the Recorder
had finished passing sentence, the same young man ex-
claimed, 41 Curse your eyes, old one, I hope you will
order a hand extra of yarn to be put in my 'rope, and if
the Sheriff lets me hang one minute beyond an hour,
I'm cursed if I don't bring an action against him."—
Savage is about 20 years of age. The other convicts
appeared to have a proper sense of their situation. One
of them declared that he Was innocent, and his compa-
nion repeatedly asserted that the young man was inno-
cent of the offence of which he had been convicted. The
RICORDER said that a Jury had found him guilty, and
he must pass sentence; but any representation mule to
she Secretary of State would be attende.l to.

EXECUTION OF WILLI LEAcir AND
PETER N RADON.

This morning the awful sentence of the law was canted into
execution, in the Old Bailey, upon the above-named criminals, for
a highway rubbery, on a grazier, at Finchley, in March last.—The
circumstances of the robbery, coupled with the dying declarations
of the unhappy men, are very extraordinary. An old an named
Haywood, was returning to his home at Southwell, from Findsley,
thrtsugh some places termed " The Green Lanes," and was suddenly
assailed by three men, who demanded, with imprecations, his
money. Haywood hesitated to comply, and was knocked down.
Being a powerful man, he resisted, when the robbers attacked him
furiously, and beat him in a dreadful manner until he was insensible.
They then plundered him of his watch, money, &c. with which
they decamped. Haywood recovered himself in a short time, and
crawled to a public-house in the vicinity, where he called up the
inmates, and received protection. All his clothes were torn, and,
from the cuts and injuries he remitted in the conlict, were covered
with blood. On the following morning (Sunday) he related the
circumstances of the attack to a constable, anJ went on his way
home ; but had not proceeded far before he saw Leach and Neadon
coming towards him, and instantly identified them as two of the
robbers. He caused them to be stopped and secured ; and their
clothes, upon examination, were found torn, and stained with blood
and mud, and some money and a leathern pouch of Haywood's was
found in Neadon's possession, which the prosecutor declared was.
his. Other evidence was procured, and the case was clearly rata-
bhshed against them.
The wretched men, after their conviction, did not deny their
participation in the robbery, but solemnly asserted that they were
the tools of two desperate characters who have not been taken.—
They stated in effect as follows :—That they were drinking at a
public-house in Finchley, in company with three persons, whom they
had seen before and knew to be thieves, and that two of those persons
proposed a burglary, the proceeds of which were to be equally di-
vided among them all. This was, however, found impracticable ;
and on their return, seeing, by moonlight, the approach of Mr. Hays
wood, the experienced thieves, sent then forward to rob him, as
not being known, they would not be suspected. Bring intoxicated,
they hesitated not, and committed that outrage which they have
expiated with their lives.—This was the story they penevtred in
until the last.

A man named Witham .Toner, for a burglary, was left for execu-
tion with them, but at a late hour last night a respite for seven days
for him came to the prison, and it is thought the sentence of death
will not be carried into execution;

The wretched men, Leach and Neadon, had, since receiving the
fiat of the Council, devoted themselves to prayer and entreaties for
mercy to that Acaucarry Buse who alone could extend it to them
to another world. It appears that, up to the commission of this
offence, they had bore very good characters.
This morning, at eight o'clock, the Sheriffs and their assistants
arrived at the prison, and pr oceeded directly to the Press Ward.
In a few minutes Neadon was introduced by the Officer. The
wretched man appeared calm, but so weak as to walk with ri.RI •
culty ; his sunken eye and dejected look denoted the anguish of his
mind. He articulated his thanks in a feeble vo:ce to the Sheriffs
and Mr. Wontner, and then was pinioned. During the operation
he gazed vacantly around, and his whole frame ai,peared to quiver
or actually quake with fear. He was led to a seat, and became
mere composed upon being addressed by the Rev. Mr. Cotton.—
Leach was then brought in ; be was dressed in a Mick coat, light
waistcoat, and white trowser.. He wept bitterly, and held his
handkerchief to his eyes. While the Officer was tying his hands
he exclaimed, " Oh, my Goo, what have I come to !" The tears
gushed front his eyes, aid he waved himself to and fro in bitter
agony. The preparations were completed, and they were led to
the scaffold, the Rey. Ordinary reading the Funeral Service. Com-
ing into the fresh air teem the cells appeared to revive them, and
they walked steadily to the lobby, at the outside of which the fatal
engine of death stood.
They admitted the justness of their doom, and said they were
quite resigned to die, at the same time persisting in their statements
as to being the dupes of more designing villains.
Leach first appeared ou the platform, and bowed; he was fol-
lowed by Neadon, whose countenance assumed the most ashy pale-
ness—his lips quivered, and he gazed on the' multitude with the
hopelessness of despair. After souse moments employed In prayer,
the signal was given, the drop sunk from beneath them, sad left
them suspended. Both were much convulsed.—Tbe crowd as-
sembled was very great.

RI FISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY.
Yesterday the 21st Anniversary Meeting of this So-
ciety took place at Freemasons'-Hall. His Royal High-
Tess the Duke of Sussex, who was expected to preside,
not having arrived, it was proposed that the report of
the Society for the last year be read, and that WILLIAM
ALLEN, Esq. be requested to take the Chair until the
arrival of the Royal Duke. A note was afterwards for-
warded to the Chairman, expressing the regret of his
Royal Highness that a slight indisposition prevented
his attendance, and adding his wishes for the welfare of
the society.
The report was then read. It stated the progress
vt hich the society had made for the last year ; and the
results were most favourable to the friends of educa-
tion. There were sixty branch schools in London alone
that were now educating 10,000 childreniand the exer-
tions of the society were establishing others throughout
England. In Ireland, also, the schools under the pa-
tronage of the society were gradually increasing, and
the system of education which they inculcated was
folio.' to work well in that country. F fteen hundred
schools were now established there, that gave education
to 100,000 individuals. The children were chiefly Ca-
tholic, and the Scriptures wet e read at all schools with-
out note or comment. The report went on to praise
the Kildare street Society of Dublin, hiving that their
exertions to educate the Irish poor would meet with in-
creasing success, and wishing that they would, above
all things, and in spite of all things, cling to the princi-
ples on which they had acted so long. The report de-
precated any system of education in which, the reading
of the Scriptures should not form a part ; and in this it
coincided with the opinion of Lord Liverpool, who had
lately expressed an opinion to a like effect. The report
vent on to state, that in Scotland there were seventy-
nine schools established, which gave education to 4,000
children; and a general review was taken of the pro-
gress which the Society had made in extending its bene-
fits abroad. In Denmark, under the patronage of the
King, the British system of religious instruction had
proceeded with great success. And in Sweden, also,
the royal patronage was extended to the British schools
with the best possible effect. In Russia little had been
done during the last year. The schools. at St. Peters-
burgh, however, were going on well, and it was hoped
that the present Emperor would follow the example of
his late royal brother, in extending the system of reli-
gions education throughout his wide dominions. In
the Netherlands the system proceeded with vigour and
success, and' architectural drawing and vocal 'music
were added, within the last year, to the other acquire-
ments of the pupils. In France, the report expressed a
regret that the system of English school instruction bad
made but little progress for the last two years. It was
opposed and thwarted by the Catholic priesthood, who,
on every occasion, strove to impede its extension. In
Spain,
.owing to the blind bigotry of the people, and the
intolerance of the priesthood, the operations of the so-
ciety were considerably retarded. In Malta, under the
friendly auspices of the Marquis and Marchioness of
Hastings, the schools established there were proceeding
prosperously, and the numbers were increasing. The
society had been able to effect but little in Greece,
owing to the divided state of that unhappy and ill-fated
country. The Greeks, however, had formed a general
school establishment on, the plan recommended by the
society, and great benefit had resulted. From Africa,
the report continued to state, there was no intelligence
of a cheering nature. In Persia, however, there was
every prospect of the system of English education and
instruction being speedily introduced. In Ceylon, sixty
schools had been established that gave instruction to
3,000 children. From Calcutta, British India, South
America, and the West Indies, favourable accounts had
been received..

His Excellency the AMNASSADOR from the NLTHIRLANDS begged
to propose, that the report which had been just read be printed,
under the direction of the Committee.

The Rev. ROWLAND Hsu., the Ref. EDWARD Uvula, and several
Gentlemen addressed the meeting, which was numeroudy and
fubiotiably attended. A collection was made In the room in aid of
the funds of the society, and at four o'clock the meeting separated.

The remains of the only son of Sir CHARLES Lessors,
Bart. who was drowned whilst bathing, near Harrow
school, arrived at Truro on Monday sennight, in a
hearse drawn by six horses, which proceeded on Tues-
day morning on its way to the family vault at Mylor
church, in which the body was interred on Wednesday.
The Protestant Society for the Protection of Religious
Liberty held its anniversary meeting at the City of
London Tavern, on Saturday. The room was fulj, a
large proportion of the company being females. The
Marquis of LANSDOWN having taken the Chair, JOHN
Witics, Esq. Secretary to the Society, made his report
to the meeting in a speech of considerable length, ex-
planatory of the purposes for which the society was
instituted, and the progress it had made, quoting several
instances in which its interference bad tended to promote
the cause of religious liberty, by determining the rights
of dissenters from the Church of England to buiiat bj
ministers of the establishment, in cases of lay baptism,
kc. by resisting, se i:11 success, many cases of illegal ex-
action of Easter dues, Lite. &c. His speech was received
throughout with loud cheers. He was followed by
several Clergymen and others, on subjects connected
with the business of the meeting, after which several
resolutions were passed. The Noble Chaio man, on
thanks being voted to him, returned his acknowledg-
■tents in an animated and impressive speech, embracing
a variety of topics, and concluded by expressing his
cordial approbation of the views by which the society
was actuated. The meeting then adjourned.
Early in the morning of Thprsday, a large patty of
smugglers had assembled in the neighbourhood of
Dymchurch, and a boat laden (as is supposed) with
tubs of spirits, being observed to approach the shore
nearly opposite to llymchurch, the smugglers instantly,
commenced cheering, and rushed upon the coast,
threatening defiance to the sentinels of the Blockade;
who, perceiving such an overwhelming force, gave the
alarm, when, a party of marines coming to their assist-
ance, a general firing took place. The smugglers re-
treated into the marshes, followed by the Blockade,

and from their knowledge of the ground were indebted
for their ultimate escape. We regret to state that two
of the Blockade seamen were wounded ; one severely in

the arm, which must cause amputation, and the other
in the face, by slug shots. There can be no doubt but
that some of the smugglers must have been wounded,
if not killed. One of their muskets was picked up,
loaded, abandoned no doubt by the bearer of it on ac-
count of woundi. The boat, with her cargo, was
obliged to put to sea again without effecting a landing ;
and, notwithstanding the vigilance a Lieutenants
Westbrook, Mudge, and M'Cleod, who were afloat in
their sallies on the spot, Irons the darkness of the nigh',
effected their escape.
