D#l.l EY-L A ":4 Ell! EA TRIL.--SatUrday being Whitsun-
eve, an Oratorio was given at this Theatre, consising
of a selection of Sacred ancient and modern Music.
It comprised an array of vocal and instrumental talent
tivhich we have seldom seen brought together on one
occasion, and the entertainment was consequently
extremely rich, animated, and diversified ; and, upca
the whole, we may say, that as this was the last of the
Oratorios under Sir G. SMART% superintendence, it
was a suitable finale to the delightful performaliees
which, during his career, he has presented to the
Public. The House was crowded.

he saw Beer. He talked about some tubs that he and
West, and another, had coming, and he might go and
help to work them, if he liked ; and witness said, he
should like to go very well. He said this at his wife's
father's, but they spoke, so low, that no one present
could understand. Beer said, he did not know when
the boat would come, but he did not think she would
come till the next dark. He also saw West, and called
to him, and asked when he expected the boat worked,
and he said he did not know, but if they wanted it
worked they would let him know. On Easter Monday
be saw West, at eight in the evening, with E. Beau-
mont.
West told them he wanted him and Beaumont
to meet him at Grove-ferry, to help to work the boat.
He went to the place, about three or four miles from
Littlebourne, and at the public-house they saw Epps,
the landlord. Williams had accompanied him and
Beaumont. In the public-house they found some men,
and were joined by West, Beer, and Lawrence, and
two or three mere. There were twelve of them in all.
They had refreshment, and plenty to drink. The party
then went over the ferry. E. Epps ferried them over,
and Beer told him that the armed men were to have
twelve shillings. each, and the wo►king (unloading)
men six shillings each. When they got about six miles
from Grove-ferry, they found the two Itichardsons
with three carts, and a party of men at the door of
their house. In the house they were serving out arms,
and ammunition to the party ; they were mostly pis-
tols, such as the horse soldiers have; and he saw a
brass blunderbuss and some guns. S. Lawrence was
serving out the arms, while West and Beer, the two
Richardsons, and Williams, were present. Witness
had a pistol given to him, and fourteen rounds of
cartridges. Arms were given to nineteen persons,
for they were counted by the Lawrences. They had
some Hollands at the house of the Richardson, There
were sixty persons in all, and they proceeded in
two parties to Herne Bay, but joined in a field
at the back of the Bay. Webster sad two other
men were left with the carts, near the Turnpike.
They were also armed with pistols. In the meadow
the armed party were called in frost by West and
Beer, and the two Lawrences. They then formed
into two lines of tee on the left, and nine on the right,
so that when the boat came on shore the working
men came between them. In about a quarter of an
hour or twenty minutes, a Deal man called them to
come along, which they did, and when they got to
the beach the boat seemed close ashore. West cora-
manded on the left, and M. Lawrence on the right,
both armed. Ben was with West. On the beach he
saw two men standing to the right, and one of them
snapped a pistol twice ; then a pistol was fired, but
Irmo whom he could not say. M. Lawrence fired a
brass blunderbuss, and another fired a pistol towards
the man who had snapped his pistol. The latter ad-
vanced towards the working party, but after that he
saw him no more. There was a great deal of firing
from the smugglers party after that. The working
party during this time were conveying the tubs up to
the carts. The tubs contained Hollands and brandy.
Webster jobs about with coals, and his cart wag em-
ployed. West, Beer, and Lawrence said they had
got all the tubs they expected. They returned to
Herne and dispersed, some going one way and some
another. West, two days after, told him there were
sixty-five tubs worked out of eighty-one that they
expected. Webster said he brought his twenty-two
tubs into Canterbury. Witness asked him how he
ventured to bring them by day-light in the morning?
and he said no one officer should have taken him.
Witness told all this to Mr. Stride, a Custom-hnilii
officer, before any one was taken into custody.
Cross-examined.—He told Mr. Stride two or three
weeks before they went, that they were going. He
fired seven or eight times. To his knowledge he did
not tell his brother-in-law that he fired ten or eleven
times. He saw his first wife more than eleven years
ago in Deal, for the last time. He could not tell
how long he had been married to his present wife.
About three weeks or a month ago he had some £5
notes in his possession. He was in custody for utter-
ing forged notes; but he had told of this transaction
to the Solicitor to the Admiralty before he was in
custody for the notes. He would not answer when
it was he passed the last note said to have been
forged. He had been three times in prison before
this. The night of the 24th of April last was a
moonlight night. He had been once in prison, and'
once sent to sea for smuggling. He could not read
nor write; did not even know the alphabet ; but
knows a £5 note from a £l. He recollected being one '
other time in custody about some oil ; but he only
went to see it measured.

LAW JATELLIGENCL.

COURT OF KI No's BENCH, JUNE 9.
VIZ MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY V. KLYNE.

Mr. CHITTY opened the pleadings by-stating, that
this was an action brought against the defendant,
who was an inhabitant of the Hundred of Ossulstone,
by the plaintiff, the Marquis of Londonderry, to re-
cover damages done to his house in St. James's-
square, which was situated in the said Hundred of
O,sulstone, on the 6:11 and 7:11 of June last, and the
Pith of November, by a riotous mob. The damage
done amounted to £-9.

Mr. GURNEY stated the case, and said, that the
only object of thi, action was to recover the amount
of the damage inflicted, to convince riotous assemblies
that in proceeding in this manlier they were causing
no injury to the • party who was the object of their
blind resentment. It had not been the Marquis of
Londonderry's intention to have brought an action
far the recovery of the damage done to his house in
June ; but finding a recurrence of the practice in
November, he felt it his duty, in the linpe of prevent-
ing this practice in future, to bring the present action,
for the recovery of the whole damage incurred in the
months of June and November, by the proceedings
•of riotous mobs,. who, on these occasions, traversed
parts of the metropolis, calling for illuminations, and
acting in other respects in a most disorderly manner.
The action was brought in the usual manner, against
the Hundred, and he would prove the amount of the
damage, and the locality of his Lordship's residence,
as well a.; that of the defendant, to entitle the plain-
tiff to a verdict from the Jury.
The Learned Counsel then called three of his Lord-
ship's servants, who proved that Lord*Castlereagh's
house was situated in St. James's-square; that on
the evenings mentioned, they were alarmed by a mob
assembling round the house, and calling for lights;
and the call not being complied with, a shower of
stone, was sent against the windows, the glass of
which was destioyed, and many of the stones en-
tered the house.

The Cut EF JUSTICE, summed up, and stated to the
Jury that the outrage having been proved, their duty
was to ascertain the damage.

Otte of' the Jury enquired if they were bounil to
give the value of plate glass?
The CHIEF Jusrice replied in the affirmative,
plate glass •having been destroyed.
The Juryman said, that was not the rule in the
Court of Requests as regarded shop-windows.
The CIIIEF JUSTICE observed, that they had no-
thing to do with the decisions of other Courts: here
they. were bound to decide according to law, and by
law an individual had a tight to compensation to the
full value of the property destroyed.
The July then found a verdict fur the plaintiff—
Damages I:29—Costs 40s.

OLD BAILEY.

TRIAL OF TIIE SMUGGLERS.
restyle.. !A STICITLA /S.

Saturday, J. West, IV. Boer, J. Richardson, W.
Williams, and J. IVebster, were indicted for unlaw-
fully assembling, with others, to the number of forty
or more, with firearms, for the purpose of assisting
in the illegal running and landing contraband goods;
and there was a count, charging them with firing at
and killing Mr. Snow, a Midshipman, of the Severn
frigate, employed in the Preventive Service.
Mr. BOLLAND opened the pleadings, and the AT-
TORNEY-GENERAL stated the facts of the case to the
Jury, as it appeared afterwards in the following
evidence.

D. North deposed. that he is a Quartermaster of
the Severn, on the Preventive or Blockade Service.
In the month of April they were stationed at Herne
Bay, Kent. On the 23d of April they were called
oat at past twelve o'clock at night on the usual ser-
vice ; and he was stationed on the beach abreast of
the town. Witness was under Sydenham Snow, a
Midshipman, o. the same service. On the morning
of the 24th, about a quarter before three, he saw
Mr. Snow, and about four or five minutes after wit-
ness heard a pistol or musket fired, and then a whole
Willey of muskestry in the direction towards Mr.
Snow and himself. Witness heard the balls whistling,
and heaving up the shingles from being fired too
low. They fired again, and he retreated towards
another man, named IVilson, who was also of his
party. There was then a considerable firing from
another party, and he heard repeated cries of " kill
every -- on the beach." He then found several
following him, and firing at the same time ; and he
heard the whistling of the bullets. He then retreated
up the bank, till he saw a party coming to his as-
sistance. He was armed with one pistol and a cut-
lass, and he fired in the direction of the smugglers,
after they had fired first. Parties of their men ap-
proached in all directions to their assistance. The
night was dark, with very heavy lightning. He
could.only tell that there was a number of men, by
the flashes of their arms. In one party there might
be about twenty to the westward of him, and about
the same number to the eastward. He did not know
what became of them. He did not see Mr. Snow.

By the COURT.--The bullets came very near him,
in various directions, both above and below; but he
could judge that they were fired at him.
This witness underwent no cross-examination.

J. Wilson, also a seaman in the Preventive Service,
corroborated the testimony of the last witness. In
consequence of what Mr. Norris, of the Ship Inn,
said to witness, he went down to the beach, and found
Mr. Snow lying on his back, with his arms extended,
and the flood-tide over his shoes, so _that he must
have been drowned. He said he was wounded, and
that he was a dead man. His hat was lying on one
side, and his cutlass on the other. When Mr. Snow
was brought to the inn, he sent for the Parson, who
came to him. He could not say whether Mr:Snow
fired first or last.

J. Barker was also a seaman on the Preventive
Service at Herne Bay. He corroborated Wilson's
testimony as to the finding of Mr. Snow, &c.
G. Griffiths lives at Canterbury, and is a farmer's
labourer and gardener. He had been at Canterbury
tour years, but not constantly. He identified W. Beer,
whom he had knOwn eight or nine years. He lives at
Littlebourne, about four miles from Canterbury, and
is, like West, a thatcher at that place. Witness was at
his wife's fatheissin tied last, at Littlebourne, where

By the Count.-1-le never fired at any one, for he
bit the balls off the cartridges.
J. Smith, another of the party of smugglers, corro-
borated the evidence of the last witness.

J. Homan, another accomplice, deposed to the
same effect.

A surgeon was called to prove the death of Mr.
Snow, and his dying declaration as to the mode of
attack, but he said nothing to affect the prisoners.
Other witnesses weie called to corroborate minor
points of the testimony of the accomplices.
W. Salmon, one of the principal officers of Bow-
street, produced some muskets which he found at the
house of the Richardsons. Some of them appeared
to hare been recently discharged. Griffiths saw these
arms as soon as they were taken.
West, on being called upon for his defence, said he
was innocent. Beer made a similar declaration, and
they both explained some circumstances stated in
evidence. The two Richardsons and Williams con-
tented themselves with a general declaration of inno-
cence. Webster said he was at home, sitting alp with
his father-in-law, who died on the very night of the
affair at Herne Bay.
William Schiller, brother.in-law to Griffiths, said
he saw him on Tuesday morning after the affray, and
asked him how he got on the night before? and he`
Fsaid, 4g pretty well; if I take a job in hand, I always
get-through it well, don't I?" He told the witne*
he had fired eleven rounds of ball cartridge.
Shaw was called, and in the most positive
manner contradicted Griffiths and Smith. The latter
said to him once that Crook, the Excise officer, was
a d—d eye-sore to him and many others in the
place, and he would give witness a ten pound note
to shoot him.

Jane Fuller swore that Griffiths once wrote a letter
for her,-and that she had heard him read repeatedly.
(He swore he did not know a letter in the alphabet.)
Peter Duthoit swore that he had known Griffiths
many years, and from what he had known of him, he

A letter from Folkstone, dated June 7, says—" On
the morning of the 7th inst. a number of smuggler s,
armed with duck guns, &c. assembled in Eastware-
bay, Folkstone, for their illegal, puposes, but being dis-
covered by the Officer ofthe Naval Blockade stationed
there, and the alarm being fired, they wheeled round,
and discharged repeated vollies upon the King's Offi-
cers, in, consequence of which Richard Wooldridge,
Quarter-master, was killed, his body being perforated
in several places. Lieut. David Peat was severely
wounded,having been shot in various parts of his body
with musket and pistol balls and buck-shot eight of
which have been extracted. We are happy to add, how,
ever, that hopes of his recovery are entertained, -not-
withstanding the number and severity of his wounds.
R. Hunter and J. Walker, both petty Officers, were
also severely wounded. A Coroner's Inquest was this
day held upon the body of Wooldridge, by the Mayor
of Foikstone, which; after several hours' deliberation,
brought in a verdict of Willa Murder against per sons
unknowns The deceased was a man of a brave and
most exemplary character—had long served in the
Navy—and was universally respected by his Officers.
It appears he did not fire until his Officer had fallen
by his side; and after having fallen himself, was re-
peatedly fired on while lying on the ground, as well
as Lieutenant Peat, by these ferocious assassins.—
The villains did not effect the landing of a single
package of goods."
