IN consequence of the death of our late beloved
Sovereign, a Dissolution of Parliament has taken place. It
is not for me to judge whether I have performed my duty in
the last four Parliaments that I have had the honour of repre-
senting you, but for you to decide whether I have executed the
:rust repossi in me so as to deserve your approbation. I hope,
licArever, my attention to the local interests of the County, as
well as to the public welfare, has not been defective. From
the very great assurances of support I have received, I venture
to effer mys..lf as Candidate to represent you in the next Par-
liament; assuring you, that if I am replaced in that high situa-
tion, It shall be my ccnstant study to fulfil, diligently and faith-
fully, tile heat trust confided to my care, to your satisfaction,

Your obliged and faithful humble servant,

A CAVTIO TO MOTEERS.

AT a critical Season like the present, when Chil-
dren .re Teething, the utmost attention ought to be paid
them, particularly a the Measles and Chin Cough are so preva-
lent. If the Irritation of the Gums comes with any other Dis-'
order, very few Infants recoyer. Mothers ought never to be
without the• AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP in the
Nur so y, for if a Child wakes in the night with pains in its gums,
this valuable Medicine applied will immediately open the pores,
heal the gums, and thereby prevents Fevers or Convulsions, for
should it come in competition with any other Disorder, it often
destroys the Mother's brightest hopes.
Parents who may be dubious of the virtue, of the SOOTH-
ING SYRUP may refer to the different Cases that have ap-
pe-tred in the Newspapers for these last ten years.
Since Mrs. Johnson has appropriated one hour twice a week,
viz. from Nine to Ten o'clock, on Tuesday and Saturday Morn-
ing, to the Poor who have Children afflicted in cutting their teeth,
by brineng a letter front a.housekerper, that the Mother is a
real object of charity, has made it so universally known in al-
ni ,st every Family where thcre are young Children, Mrs. John-
son hopes so great a Charity will not be abused, as it is out of
her private purse.

LAW INT'E'f:L•IGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 1.
CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE.
DEANE V. DEANE.

The LORD CIIANCKLLOR, on coming into Court
this morning, gave his judgment in this case. His
Lordship having sketched the circumstances of the
case, which have been repeatedly before our Readers,
stated, that after the maturest consideration of the
whole of the evidence, he was convinced that Mrs.
Deane, the wife of the minor, John Ballard, the foot-
man who accompanied them to Scotland, and the
cook Maid who opened the street-door and let them
out on the night of the elopement, were all guilty of
a contempt of Court. That the two latter were not
acquainted with the fact of Mr. Deane's being a
ward of Court, could be to them no protection.—
With respect to Mr. and Mrs. Stables, the parents,
and their two sons, the brothers of Mrs. Deane, jun.
he did not think that there was enough in the evi-
dence to bear him out in the opinion, that they were
guilty of a contempt. That their conduct was strictly
proper, was quite another thing. In what manner
he should dispose of the guilty pat tics, he should
take more time to consider. The world ought to
understand, how idle it was to attempt to throw the
'cloak of the protection of that Court upon any party,
after the injury becomes irrevocable. Again,'
could not but be influenced by the consider ;Ilion, that
Mr. Deane was left for -many years in a very un-
protected state. llis Lordship said, that the Master
to whom a reference on the subject had been made,
had reported, uron satisfactory evidence, that the
man iage which had taken place in Scotland, was
perfectly valid.
. The Court was crowded to excess, and several of
the parties were present.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MARCH 1.

LYONS, SPINSTER, V. CLINTON, BENN ETT, AND TIPPETT.

Mr. SCARLETr stated, that the plaintiff in this
case, a young woman of humble situation, but of
irreproachable morals, sought, by the present action,
to recover a compensation in dam-ages for defania-
tion of character, assault, and false imprisonment— I
injuries that had been inflicted on her by the .de-
fendants. The plaintiff resided vri:ll her mother near I
the Tower, where she had been - known as a girl of;
reputable character for many years. On the `7th of
April last, she was walking with her mother's 'ser-
vant in Thames-street, at an early hour in the morn-
ing, when she was stopped by the defendant Clintot:.
who. was a Constable, and who, in arresting her, was
assisted by Tippett.. Site was informed that she was
charged with obtaining money under false pretences
lion) a person of the name of Ford, with v: bon) Tip,
pett lived in the capacity of shopman. Miss. Lyons •
asserted her. innocence in the stiongest manner, but
to no purpose. Clinton and Tippett forced her vio-
lently into the house of a person named Ward, in
Seething-lane. She was here recognized by a num- t
ber of respectable nelsons, who told the Officer that
he was wrong, and th-at he must have mistaken
Miss Lyons for some other person. Clinton, hew.;
ever, asserted that 'he knew the plaintii, who had
been particularly pointeJ out to hiin. and tl.at leer
name was nut Sarah Lyons, but Jane Smith. kit

PRICE SEVEN-PEN-C E.

then insisted on taking her to the Comptcr, where
she was confined for two hours, and then broditht
before the Lord Mayor. Here the other deter-
dant, Bennett, who had made the charge, anl
who had procured the Officer to apprehend the
tiff, made his appearance, and acknowledged that
be was mistaken ; that the plaintiff was not J.i,
Sniith, although she resemblediier a good deal. T:te
plaintiff was of course immediately discharged,. and
she had deemed it necessary, in support of her cha-
racter, to institute this action.

These facts were fully substantiated by persons who
witnessed the trausaction, and whu were acquaintvd
with the plaimiff, whom they described as a well-
conducted young woman.

Mr. MA any Arr and Mr. floiv, v.. ho appeared for
Bennett and Tippet, addressed the Jury in
tion of damages. The con.inet of their clients, they
' observed, was not the result :f any malicious feeling,
but arose entirely from mistake. That Mistake vAs
rectified as soon as it wAs•discovered, and .no serious
injury either to the person or .chat actee of the plain-
tiff had been alleged. The fact was, that a person
of. the name of Jane Smith had f.,rmerly lived as
servant with Mr. Bennett, and she had obtained the
sum of a, under pretence.of coning from her mis-
tress, from Mrs. Ford, whose liusband Tippett 'erred
as shopman, and .by whose hands the money was
paid. The parties were deceived by the strong like-
ness which the plaintiff bore to Jane Smith, and,
acting under an erroneous opinion, they had caused
her to be taken into custody ; but the moment the
mistake was discovered, her liberation was effected.

Mr. CHITTY, who appeared for Clint..n, the con-
stable, contended that his client was entitled to a
verdict. As he was an officer, and a charge of felony
had been made, he was bound to take the accuted
person into custody. Ile, was acting ministetially„
and no choice was left to him hut thaz of apprehend-
ing the party charged, and who had been distinctly
pointed out to-hint. This doctrine had been Lod
down, on different occasiots, by Mr. Just:cc iluiler,
Lord Ellenbcrough, and Mr. Justice 13a; ley.

The Loma CHIvF JUSTICE observed, that no charge
of felony was proved to have been made Bare.

Mr. Critirr said. hi would call witnesses to prove
that a charge of felony had been made. At ail
events, the charge of obtaining money under false
pretences would, under the of Geo. Ili. if
proved, subject the party accused to seven years
transportation, and the re ton which govci fled the
one case would equally apply to the other.
The Learned Gentleman then called the Ward
Beadle of Aldersgate-street-within, who stated, that
Mr. Bennett applied to him on the evening of the
2Gth of April, on the subject of the apprehension of
Jane .Smith, whom .he charged with stealing some •
buttons, and With procuring £''2 tinder false pretences:
Mr. SCARLETT denied that this was a good justifi-
cation. lie would, however, consent to Jet a verdict
be entered for Ciinton, who was evidently the lea :t
culpable of the parties. The LeaineJ Counsel tils'a
argued, that the case was one which called for hand-.
some damars. The defendant Bennett, it seemed,
carried on a considerable trade in buttons, and had
also a good situation in the Custom-house. He was
too proud to make an apology, and to pay the sum
of 4.:5 to any charity, which proposition had been
made to him by the plaintiff's attorney. Whatever
damage hir purse would now be made to suffer,
must, therefore; be attributed to his own obstinacy.
There was no disgrace in confessing an error ; but
knowingly to persist in one, particularly where the.
character of a female was at stake, was disgraceful.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up. The case
was clearly made out in evidence; but though the
act of the defendants was a rash and ha,ty one, it
was nevertheless a mistake,-.a circumstance which the
Jury would not lose sight of in awarding damages.
The Jury,• after a short consultation, found a ver-
dict for the plaintiff, against Bennett and Tippets_..
damages fao. A verdict was clawed for Clinton. •

TOWN-HALL, SOUTRWANK.—Yesterday, a poor
old Irishwoman, applied at the Justice Boom, and
made a complaint to the Alderman, the subject of
which ought to be generally -known ;—lt appearucl,
from her statement, that she went into a low eating,
house, in the Borough Market, where she purchased
two pennyworth of -what they caiied leg. of beef
soup, tor herself and children ; nut on breaking. some -
bread into it, it turned suddeai y black, and a nauseous
smell arose from it, which caused her to think it was
not good. The colour too (being a dark purple, not
unlike the thick grounds of Nit wine) confirmed her
suspicions, and she, in consequence, refused to have
it, or to pay for it. The proprietor of the shop said
he would have the money, and detained ome (I her
children till it was paid, whilst she, in the mean time,
Icame to the Office to seek redress. 'lle has.su w:ss
produced in the Office, and all Who beheld the- con- -
tents, turned away with disgust from the scene. I
compound, (to use the words of those who saw it)
that no Gentleman in England would give his ders.
The basen, with its contents, was culled up to the
High Bailiff's Office, and his opinion asked on the
subject, and he recommended that the poor woman
should make an instant application to their/es/J./wit-r
of the perish,. who would, no doubt, cause 'an II!-
. quiry to be instituted, the re,ult of which would be,
that all unwholesome food ,--and on the premises.
would be seized and destroyed, as it very juttly
ought to be. in the mean time the story having gor
wipd in the ,neighbourbood, a crowd of peoi,te
• surrounded the shop, and manifested a dispositten
to commit violence ; but an Officer from Union
Halt arrived in sufficient time to prevent say mis-
chief, and the keeper of. the shop thought it fit, at
length, to let thexhild go Omit its business. From
the exposure which took place, the keeper of the shop
in question is not very likely to sell much more soap
is the urighboufhtsod. . - .
