met:the prosecutor in the raid coining from Sir
Ikon Popham's house, where he bad been on duty,
and agaia asked bhri if he meant 0 give him the
required satisfaition for the affront he Lid received;
but receiving an aniwet in the. negative, he struck
'the prosecutor a violett blow with his horsewhip, pat
spurs to his horse, and galloped off out of the reach
of the prosecutor. This was the substance of the cise.
Tile ATTODNIY-GINERAI. fot the prosecution, la-
meoted that the *fen/Jain had not learned in the
.course of his wiffitarilife to conduct himself scrim&
in to the ordinary isles of a gentleiwin, or to write
according to the established rules of ottiipgraphy. It
appeared that Is, belonged to the Marine Artillery,
but his conduct after the assault seemed to ind.cate
that he was anxious to change his corps to that of the
hies artillery.
Mr. Goaxer, on the part. of the defendant, pressed
the youth of the defendant, who was now only *3
years old, and bad *heady spent eight years of his
Ilfe in foreign service—be was the son ut a General
Officer, and had not acted without great provocation.
Mr. Justice BAILEY, in pronouncing the judgment
of theCoatt, obarved, their Lordships were pot now
called on to pronounce any opinion on what passed at
thp Theatre, or who were the persons then to blame,
bit the Court looked to what passed subsequent to
that time. Ou the following day the defelidant, in-
stead of taking steps to procure an apology from the
ptosecutor, as he ought to have done, it he thought
himself aggrieved by-what passed the evening before,
*rote a Wet. which, in the nature of it, must una-
voidably pin an end to all hopes of reconciliation he.
tweea thew,. and the effects of which, as far as the
dtfentiaat was coacerued, must be to put their mu-
teal lives in danger; and if one !Zooid have unfor.
tonately fallen. to subject the other to be tried for
murder. The prosecutor. however. prudently de-
clined accepting the challenge. Further letters passed
between thent..and after four days had elapsed, a
time sufficient to allow passion to subside, therdefen-,
dant, chancing to inett the.prolecittor in publicepub- i
hely struck him, and, as fee as Le had power, • dis,
graced him. ! laving done this, he, aided. by the
swiftness of his. horse. escaped that chastisement
Which the prosecutor night otherwise probably have
Indicted upon him on the spot. Unticr all: the cir-
eumstances of the cate, taking la;s youth, service,
and simatioa into.contideratioo, the Court adjudged
that the defendant should be imprisoned in the cus-
tody of

This was an action of assumpsit. The first count
was special. and-the second and third were the come
mod counts against the defenriaots, as acceptors of
two bills of exchange for ',VOO each, indorsed by the
Jrawvr to the plaintiffs, who were the solvent part-

and proved, that on the night of the 2d Decembee
last he said the prisoner skulking about the house of
the prosecutor in Cornish-court, .Mile-enkroad, &WI
afterwards perceived him with a till under his arm.
Upon being asked whether he was sure the priso-
ner was the lad he saw, witness said, that he thought
it was, but ;could not be sure.
It appeared. however, upon the elemivation of
another witness, that the boy (Ward) was well at-
guainted pit§ the prisoner, but *as deserved from
identifying him through the fear of the gang.to whorls
he belonged.
Ward *as 'again examined ;. and upon the. Re.

tThe Receitmett remarked, that he was not in'aite

from the resentment of such a gang, some of whom
were probably in Court. . •

HATTON-GARDEN.-.-YeSteriby Mr. Hunt. accom-
panied by Mr. Cobbett, and two other persons, and
the boy Thomas llogood, who tore down the post-
ing•bill, entitled " Mr. Hunt hissed out of the City
of lkistol," came to this office to know on what par-
ticular charge the boy was committed, when the fol-
lowing conversation passed Isetween Mr. Hunt, Mr.
Cohhett, aid the Magistrates :
. Mr. 1-11:171..-1 Understand the only offence this boy
has been guilty of is tearing down a posting-bill, en-
titled " Mv. Hunt hissed out of the city of Bristol;'
the bill in itself was a gross libel, aad did not contain
one word of truth, and for tilting down this bill he
was committed. I have frequently tern down a post-
ing-bill, and until iIOW I di.l not know I was offend-,
inh against the laws nett), country. The boy is all
orphan, of industrious (titbits, and unblemished cha-
• ratter, and from the circumstances of the case I look
upon yself as his protector, and lam determined
to see biro justified. li demand a copy of his cum-
. mittal.
MAGISTRATE.—Mr. Hunt, I recollect nothing of
the case; the previous examination did not take place
before either of us ; the Magistrate who heard the
case is not ;,resent, but I agree with you in thinking,,
that tearing down a posting•bill is not an offence that
any recognizance can be taken of; it must be on'
so.ae other charge he was committed, and by apply-
.ing at the prison you will, of course, obtain a copy
'awl his commitment : we never keep a copy of the

commitrneht in the office.
Mr. Conagre.—The boy when apprehended was
found following his la'wtul business ; he was employ.
ed in selling a'few tracts of the Religious Society,
when be was seized on and robbed of them in the
public street ; he was not idle nor disorderly, and
. tint without mown he had sixpence in his pocket,
of which he Wt. likewise robbed by John Limbrick,
, an officer belonging to this office. He was brought
to this office, where he o as examined : he stated him-

• An Inquisition was taken on Thursday morning,
which lasted till nine o'clock in the evening. before
Mr. STIRLItto, Coroner for Middlesex, • at the house
of Mr. THoMAI HIPILig, the Duke of York, Queen-
street.. Edgeware-road, Mary-la-Bonne, upon the
body of Mary Ann Golding, the daughter of John
and Elizabeth Goldingi of No. SO, Molyneux-street,
Mary-la-Bonne, whose death was occasioned by the
barbarous treatment of its parents. , The deceased
was only five years of aye. •
The Jury being sworn, went and viewed the body;
its appearance was shocking, being coveted with
Imarks of violence from the neck downwards to the
thigh, which were inflicted by some weapon. The
back had several old wounds upon it, the legs were
bruised, and the whole frame was emaciated. The
',try afterwards•received the following evidence : •
Mrs. Annette Jordin' widow, being sworn, said,
that she was a lodger in the same house in which the
parents of the , deceased lived ; she had lived there
twelve months. The deceased had always appeared,
during that time, till within the lass six months, hi,
a good state of health. She was in the habit of seer
ing her frequently. The deceased had two brotherj
younger than herself. She was never allowed by hew
parents to play with her brothers or other children iii
the house, bet was always confined in the kitchee,l
and had not, fee * lasttlimmooslskissen out of
'the. kitchen maritime twice', and that was at the

mem would impair the child's health. The parents
of the deceased never treated her in the tame man‘
ter as the other children, bet at all times seemed
much prejedieed.against her, as if they had formed
' some particular disgust towards her: About a month
ago, the mother of the deceased beat . tier in the

she was in a room over that in which the deceased

Mr. James Wilstead, No. 15, Molyneoz-street,
said, that about three months ago, the witness, Mrs.
Jordan, came to him, and informed him that Mrs.
Golding was in the constant practice of ill-treating
the deceased ; that she had that morning put the de-
ceased under a water-huts, after just taking her nut
of a warm bed, and the cold water ran up9ll her for
fifteen minutes; he (witness) went to the overseer,
and informed him of the child's treatment; the over-
seer paid no regard to what he told him ; he there-
fore went to a Magistrate, who said he could not ren-
der any assistance; that the overseer had not done his
duty, for he Pfacthe only person who could interfere.
IHe therefore troubled himself no further. _ _

Charlotte Tapiin being sworn, said, that she lived
in the same house with the deceased for ten months;
she was generally absent. from konae from morning
till evening. She had often known the. deceased to
be beaten by its ptrents. On Friday se'nuighi, she
heard the deceased screaming in a terrific manner;
she and the landlady went down to the mother, at
the request el one of the lodgers, who informed thero
that the mother was murdering the deceas'ed. They
went down, and 'the mother shut 'the door of her
apartment. They asked her what she was doing to
the deceased ? She replied, that they had better
mini their ow' business. The deceased bad scArcely
ever any clothes upon fur back, and was worn out te
a mere skeleton by bad usage; while the ether chih
dren were fat. hearty, and well clad.
The CORONER said, that it appeared to him the
death of the deceased was caused by a constant re.
petition of ill treatment.. There was unwound upon
the deceased which caused her death, according to
the evidence of the surgeop.; yet, from .the appear•
