At the Dorchester Assizes, an action was brought by
a Mis. flighingiiinst Citikiper Aid 'Others; the ?inflictors
of what is called the "Company& (oath,", 'frothitionstlpn
to Ihistol. The plaintiff is an old Lady of
age, who, in the month of June last, had herself booked
at the defendants office in London, for Bradford, in
Wiltshiie. As the Coach front London to Bristol.does
not pass through Bradford, there is .a branch coach
meets *the passengers Upon the 'direct road.; at Melkis
ham, in Wiltshire. 'llw Bristol coach having arrived
at Melksham on the day in question. with the old Lady
within, proceeded until it had arrived within about dve
miles of Bath, when the old Lidy, who had been asleep
all thii times, awoke, and looking out of the window
of the coach, observed that she had been carried too far
by some mile.. On mentioning the eirtmnitance to
the guard, he recommended her to get out (it was about
five o'clock), and With her two large boxei, walk mots
the country to Bradfor! ' • adding, that as the weather
was fine, the walk would do her go-d. The I ady,
however, continued in the coach` unto it :tamed at
Bath, where she took a carriage, which conveyed her
back to B: adford, and cost her 10s. The action was
broughi to recover damages for the breach of contract
tallith the defendants had committed, in not having
conveyed the plaintiff to her destination, according to
the original agreement. For the defence it was alleged,
that for half a milt Is:foie they had arrived at the place
where the branch coach was in waiting, the guard had
not ceased to blow and play upon his bugle; that upon
arriving at the spot, he opened the door, and inquired
if any of the pasiengera were going to Bradford ; that a
voice from within had answered no; and that the coach
had remained at Melkshamfor 20 minutes at the least.'
.The
qt e,tii'd between the parties was, whether the no-
tice 'alleged to have been given by the guard was
sufficient notice or whither he was not, dader tin cif-
,cuoistances, oblige) actually to proem e.the removal of
the plaintiff from the Bristol into the Bradford coach ?
'fhb point being new, excited much attention, and
occupied nearly the whole day. After a short consul-
tation, the Jury returned a verdict for. the plaintiff, da-
mages 10s. being the suns paid for the" FlY.'s in which
she went to Bradford.

Signor Curioni; of the King's Theatre, again appeared before
Mr. Rog yesterday, respecting an illegitimate child, four years of
age, which Mary Ann Canned, a pretty little milliner, in York-
street, Conimercial.road, had affiliated to him. Mr. Roe dismissed
the case againk the Signor three or four Weeks ago, as be thought
his identivy not sufficiently proved; the Churchwardens of St.
Giles's, however, considered they would be justified in bringing
him up a fourth time, having procured the additional evidence of
a female. named Maria nampton, who identified the Signor as
baying visited Miss Cannel! in the month of April, 1122, when she
resided with her in the same house in Reightop-street, Somers-
town. The Signor assured the Magistrate. that some adventurer
had personated him, and produced an. anonymous letter, which he
received on the 27th February, informing him that the girl had
accidentally picked up one of his cards in Piccadilly, and the in-
duced her to swear the child to him.--kfr. Rot said the case ap-
peared much stronger against bias than it did on the former occa-
sion., anti intimated that be should make the order on lthas in a
fortnight, unkss he could iu the bimetal prove his innocence, which
the Signor undertook to do by that period.
