HAMILTON IP. HAMILTON.

This suit was assigned for information and sentence.
Dr. Lumuntems, on behalf of Major Hamerton, stated the case.
The circumstances of the suit were so fully before the Court, that
he should confine himself to the additional evidence obtained frum
Paris of the conduct of Mr.. Hamerton since her separation, and
during the pending( of this cause.
The particulars the case have been repeatedly given. The
Learned Counsel having been heard, pro and con.
The Jonas said, when this cause was first heard, the Court was
of opinion that the evidence was ton feeble to establish the fact of
criminality, but at the same time considered Mrs. Ilamerton's con-
duct so culpable that they granted permission to Major Hamerton
to bring in further evidence, which was confirmed by the decision
of the Court of Delegates. The additional evidence proved the
continuance of the visiting intercourse at Paris, and of Nr. 13usbe
being frequently alone with Mrs. Hamerton. Several witnesses
proved having also frequently seen these parties together under
very suspicious circumstances. These facts, coupled with the pre-
vious conduct of the parties, leave no doubt upon the mind of the
Court that adultery had been committed. The judgment was,
therefore, that Major Hamerton had fully established his case, and
his prayer for separation was therefore granted.
Mali COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Nov. 20.
Before Sir Csatseornaa Roantrant.
21111 1100RMAHUL. _ _

This suit was called on last Court day, but further proceedings
were deferred in order to procure the attendance of Trinity
Masters, who were to decide a question of situation of peril, which
would materially govern the adjudication of salvage.
Dr. Donsos—The Noormahul, from Manilla to the port. of
London, with a valuable cargo of coffee and sugar, was run fool '
of by an unknown vessel, on the night of the 13th of Marsh last, '
and received considerable damage. The accident occurred about
400 mites front the Scilly Island, in lit. 48. 19. 17. west longitude.
The Wanstead, of three hundred tons, commanded. by Lieutenant
Langhorn and 21 men, found her in this unsanageable state. 'and by
their exertions succeeded in rescuing the vessel and cargo, and saving
the lives of those on board. The master of the Wansttad went
immediately on board the Noormahul, accompanied by Lieut. Colk,
a passenger on board, and assistance was immediately began to be
rendered. Spars were furnished, and the carpenters of the respec-
tive vessels made a survey of the Noormabul, and discovered her in
a attatnate. From the 13th up to the 29th of March, the Win-
stead was engaged in towing the Noormahul ; the wind shifting and
being within forty miles of the Irish coast, the Winstead put into
port for provisions, and dispatched pilot-boats to the assistance of
the Noormahul, but wit unable to get into harbour, from stress of
weather, but ultimately Worked her way up the Channel, and ar-
rived in the port of London. The Learned Civilian submitted,
from his statement, that the vessel bad been saved by the exertions
of Capt. Langborn and men, and therefore were entitled to ample
remuneration.
The•Knio's ADVOe.ATIS rose and said be applied to the Court on
behalf of air. Gale, owner of the Winstead, for compensation, inas-
much as be had sustained loss by the detention of his vessel, which
bad a cargo of oil, &c. on board, valued at £4,600.
Dr. Putti.nicias appeared for the owners of the Noorniabui, and
called the attention of the Court to the situation in which he was
placed by two actions having been so unusually brought by sepa-
rate parties who claimed remuneration. The owners of the Wao.
stead began their action first, and were followed by the salvors ;
not content with this, the charterer of the Wstmead gave on ap-
pearance, and came forward to ask compensation. The Noortna-
bul bad certainly been run foul of, and revel ed assistance from the
Wanstmd, but there were affidavits before the Court which would
prove that before her arrival the leak bad been stopped, and the
only damage that she had sustained was confined to ,the rigging.
The opposite party contends there was a leak hi the larboard bow.
This is a point for the Trinity Gentlemen to decide. A tender of
£5OO for recompense to salvors, exclusive of any further advance
for damage, &c. had been made and rejected. He contended this
was amply sufficient, and that the Court would rather decrease than
sdd to the amount,
Dr. ADDAMS read several affidavits, as to the dangerous state of
the vessel ; and counter affidavits were exhibited by the opposing
Counsel, which occupied the Court upwards of three hours.
The Ktea's Anvocars inquired if it appeared its the act in ques-
tion that Captain Langborn had endeavoured to persuade the clew
of the Noormahul to quit the vessel, by representing the danger to
be greater than it was.
Dr. Puu.intoatt said that this charge was only meant to rebut
the assertion that the crew expressed a wish to leave the vessel.
The KIWI'S Attsrocern said he considered the charge very serious
and most improper.
Dr. Donsos then resumed, and was followed by Dr. ADDAMS.
The Knol's Anyone's (with whom was Dr. Lusunitarox), who
appeared for Mr. Campbell, the charterer, and part owner of the
cargo of the Wanstead, said the actual damage done to the cable and
boat, with amount of stores furnished the Noormabul, was upwards
of £lOO. A compensation for leakage of oil was also sought.
The Amos consulted with the Trinity Gentlemen who sat with
him on the Bench, and decided that the £5OO offered was sufficient
t for the service rendered.

Thursday evening, some persons contrived to enter the
upper part of the house of Mr. Taylor, corner of King David-lane.
Shadwell; they broke open every drawer, cupboard, &e. in the
house, with the exception of the lower part, where were two of
Mr. Taylor's men' sitting, whom the thieves did nut disturb.—
The forced open the cupboard which usually contained the cash-
boa • to their mortification, it was not there, as it bad been left by
accident upon the shop counter, and escaped the observation of the
thieves ; but they succeeded in possessing themselves of a variety
of property, with which they e•captd.
A dreadful accident befel Mr. Godfrey, a respectable
miller, of Duddington, near Stamford, on Tuesday last. He had
trimmed his horse's tail, and was standing at a short distance be-
bind lt,witb bis head stooped, when the horse gave him a kick in
the face with such force as to fracture the lower jaw bone in three
places, and knock out almost the whole of his upper teeth. Mr.
Godfrey continues speechless. but perfectly sensible, and some hope
is entertained of his recovery.
Monday last, John Bell, alias Peatfield, and John
Brewitt, both of East ltrtford, were commits.] td the county jail
for trial the next assizes, charged with having
.burdtight. armed* with
guns, unlawfully entered the reserves of Altborpe, at
Scaftwoeth, together with several ether persons, to the number of
eight, yet unknown, fur the purpose of destroying game. Present.
however, while in custody of the consuble, for the purpose of being
conveyed to Nottingham, nude his maps, and has not since been

Romans DURING TUE Foo.—Yesteiday a more than usual num- •
ber of informations of robberies committed in this district and that
part of the adjoining counties to which the jurisdiction of the police
Magistrates of the Whitechapel division of police extends. was re-
ceived at this office, all of which were perpetrated on Thursday -
night, and yesterday morning, during the prevalence of the dense
fug, with which the metropolis, and the eastern suburbs, in particu-
lar. adjoining it, have been fee ibe last three days visited. The one
marked with the most daring atrocity, was committed on the per-
son of Mrs. Sarah Burney, an aged lady, in the Commercial-road.
Between four and five o'clock on Thursday evening, while the old
gentlewoman was returning to her house, No. 9, York-terrace,
she was attacked by two unmanly rufilens, who levelled her with
the earth, and robbed her of her watch, spectacles, and some cash.
They left her quite insensible from their violence, and so brutal
was it, that she is at present under the care of a medical man.
John Marshall, the husband of a laundress, living at Cbadwell,
near Epping Forest, while returning. at about six o'clock, with a
quantity of clothes to be washed for his town customers, was
robbed of a bundle from his cart, in which they were contained.
A third information was laid by the waggoner of the Alkrton
waggon, of Hadley, in Suffolk, who stated that, on that morning,
while coming up to town. between Bow-bridge and Whitechapel,
a trunk, addressed Mrs. Elisabeth Green, containing a number of
lathe's' new-made dresses, was stolen from the rear of his waggon.
Mrs. Levi, a matronly Jewess, was brought up on a warrant,
charging bier with breeding a riot and disturbance about the house
and person of a Mr. Pool, a pianoforte-maker.
W. Pool stated that he bad repaifed a pianoforte, strings, and
all, for the defendant, for the sum of 10s; but she, not satisfied
with the mode in which he done his work, came to his house, and
annoyed both him and his family.
Mrs. Levy said she had given a planer to Mr. P. to repair, and
paid him 10s. for it. She thought it, when it came home, a very
good binstmment ; but a musical friend, who tried it, said it was
not as good as before, and that the guts and dampers were taken
out of k. She went to get them back, and Mr. Pool abused her,
and threatened to knock her down, (turning to her daughter), didn't
he, Maria, my dear ?—He did, Mama, and kept the dampers, and
tbingumees what makes the planer go high and low.
Mr. Pool—You liked it very well ma'am, when it went home ;
and didn't'you ask my daughter to give Miss Maria some lessons,
and didn't I agree for them at 6d. a-piece ?
Mrs. Levi—l wanted none of your lessons; I could get a pre-
fersional gentleman to teach my daughter for 3d. a lesson. Give
me back my guts and dampers, and that is all I wants.
Mr. Pool, in explanation, said that what Mrs. I. called guts and
dampers, he supposed to be the internal parts of a piano, which
were worn out, and which he had thrown away.
The Magistrate told him that he had no right to throw them
away, they not being his property; neither had Mrs. Levi any
right to demand them in a violent manner ; both were in fauh,
and he would therefore dismiss the charge; leaving the expenses of
the warrant to be divided amongst them.
