Tie Doncast..r Gazette says—" On Monday last,
the 11th instant, a disturbance took place at .Leeds
between some of the inhabitants and a party of sol-
!.diers belonging to a detachment of the 6Lh Regi-
ment, that had just arrived from Halifax, and which,
but for the active exertions of the Chief Magistrate,
and the interference of the officers, it is very pro-
bable, would_ have been productive of serious come!
quence.s. The alarm, at one time, was so great in
liriggate, and in the adjacent streets, that most of
the strops were shut up before seven o'clock in the
evening. .
. We (.4.1)y the following from the Leeds Mercury of
Saturday la t:—" On Monday evening, about seven
o'clock, an affray took place in the principal street'
of this town, between a number of the military and
,the ittln:bitants, which. at one period, threatened the
most serious consequences. This fracas, as far as
we have been able to state, originated in a private,
belonging to the 6th Regiment of Foot (which had
.just arrived from Halifax) seizing an apple from a
fruit-stall, which invasion of private property being
rerented by the owner, a quarrel ensued, in the pro-
-gress of which the military and the people took differ-
,. cot sides. We regret to have to add, that in many
instances the soldiers made use of their side-arms,
and that several persons who took no part in the af-
fray were wounded, but none of them seriously.
The alarm which was occasioned is not to be de-
serif:ed. The shops in that part of the town where
i; tool. place were immediately closed, and great ap-
prehensions were at one period entertained for the re-
sult. Fortunateli, however, the arrival of a guard
from the barracks, :end the active interference of the
pficers, aided by the exertions of our Chief Magis-
trlne, prevented any further mischief. We under-
stand that no part.of the military were concerned in
these outrages, except the detachment which had ar-
rived from Halifax, many of whom were in a state
of intoxication. Among the persons wounded is Mr.
WILLA NS, supervisor of the cloth-searchers; he re-
ceived a slight cut in the shoulder from a sword,
but, in consideration of the good character and long
services of the seijeant by whom the wound was in-
flicted, both Mr. WILLANS, and another person, who
suffered from his violence, declined commencing any
-erm:ecution against him."
The residence of the Miss NEEDHAMS, near Bake-
ss ell, in Derbyshire, was broken into about midnight,
. on the 9th inst. by thiee dating villains, who entered
the bed-rooms of the Ladies, dragged two of them
from their beds, and with the most horrid impreca-
tions, and Uncommon large knives in their hands,
threatened them with Instant death if they did not
immediately deliver their money, in which attempt
they were fortunately defeated by the intrepid con-
duct of a man-servant, who, hearing the cries of the
Ladies, fiev., to their assistance, and although dread-
(lly wkauuded, drove the villains from the house.

OLD B4ILEY, SESSIONS, SEPTEMBER 1

J. Deggard, J. Waste, J. Hadett;. E. Downes, alias
G. ifykes, R. Ellis, J. Smith, and another person named
J. Smith, If. Wood, G. Brown, G. Cochin, Elizabeth
Gould, Alan ,Jones, Sarah Wright,Mary Hcw 4, and
IV. Howard, pleaded Guilty to the minor offe Ice of
knowingly having forged notes in their rosse;;ion ;
and Not Guilty to the capital charge of uttering.—
These were allowed to plead by virtue of that di,cre-
tion still continued to the Bank, of singling out those
who shall be tried on the capital charge; several other
prisoners pleaded in the same way, but no such lenity,
was extended to them on the part of the Bank.
R. Molt was indicted for forging an acceptance
to a bill of exchange for £5O, with intent to defraud
C. Dover.—J. E. Wood is in the trade, in Earl-
meet, Blackfriars. Knows the prisoner, who on the
17th June purchased some iron for Mr. Dover, whom
he represented to be a respectable builder. He
brought ama itten order, signed "C. Dover." He
also gave witness a bill of exchange to pay for the
iron. Witness asked who Mott, the drawer, and
_ _

Dover, the acceptor, were? • He said he was Mott,
a poulterer, in Leadenhall-market ; and that the ac-
cepter was a builder at Weedom Witness said, "As
you are Mott, you supply some of-my friends (men-
tioning their names) with poultry ?" He answered,
" 0 yes, I have served them for years." On this,
thinking the bill good, he let the prisoner have
the iron. The goods were taken away to an auction-,
room, where witness afterwards saw them. He ap-
plied to the Lord Mayor for a warrant, -and stopped
the sale. He inquired at Leadenhall-market, and
found that the prisoner was a distant relation of Mr.
Mott, the poulterer. When he got the- hen, he re-
presented that he was going to send it from an inn

to the country.
Mr. Sheriff Rothwell proved that he knew Mr.
Mott, in Leadenhall•market, and that the prisoner
was not the man. He never beard of any but one

Mr. Mott in that market.
D. B. Leadbetter, one of the Marshalmen, deposed,
that he was very well acquainted with Leadenhall-
market, and knew two Mr. Motts in that market, but
the prisoner is neither of them.
There being no one who knew Mr. Dover's hand-
writing but himself, Mr. Justice BEST had directed
the Jury to acquit the prisoner, because Mr. Dover
could not be examined touching a thing for which he
was himself liable ; when it was found that the prc-
secutor had given Mr. Dover a release from all liabi-
lity.as respected the bill in question.
Mr. AnoLeaus started another objection on the
part of the prisoner; that the iron was only valued at
between £2O and £3O, and that he had not received
the balance between that sum and the £5O, for which
the bill was drawn. Mr. Dover must have a release
from the prisoner also.
The JUDOES consulted, and at last agreed that the
point should be reserved for the opinion of the Judges.
Mr. C. Dover, builder, at Weedon, knew the pri-
soner, but never as a poulterer at Leadenhall-mar-
ket. The bill and order shewn to him were in no
part his hand-writing.
Crowexamined.—He knew a person named Tay-
ler, and believed that a letter shewa to him was his',
band-writing. He had purchased ten, hogsheads of
ale from the prisoner, in 1818, and afterwa?ds he
sold him a pony ; those were the only dealings he
had with him. He had several times drank some
porter with the prisoner, but they did not talk over
money matters. Witnessddenied that be had ever said
to Mr. Bail-lie or Mr. Richardson, that he had given
the prisoner a bill to purchase pork, but as he, had
passed it for iron, he must take the consequence.
Re-eeetuined.—He believed the order and the bill to
be the prisoner's hand-writing, but not the acceptance.
The prisoner, in his defence, said, Dover gave him'
the bill,. is part payment for £6O worth of ale, and
sever denied its being his.hand-Writing because he
(Mott) would not lend him A!5.
Dover was nailed up again. Denied that fact, and
1 produced the prisoner's receipt in full for the pay-
e.ent of the ale.
D. Raillie swore, that he is a chair-maker in Mon-
tague-,street, Whitechapel. Dover told him he autho-'
rised Mott to pay away this bill for pork, but not for
iron. He had received two letters from Dover, and
believed the acceptance on the bill to be in that per-
son's hand-writing.
Examined by Mr. Justice Berr.—He lives in
Charles-street, Commercial-road. He had not entirely
taken his property away from Montague-street. He
lived there when he-received the letters from Dover,
and that was the reason why he just before gave his
address in Montague-street, instead of Charles-street.
Mr. Justice Bur summed up the evidence; and
'the Jury retired for about an hour, and then returned
a verdict, finding the prisoner.
•Guilty—Death ; but
recommended him to mercy, on the ground [hat due
inquiry had not been made into the validity of the bill.
CHARGE OF RAPE.' _ _

William Patterson was indicted for violating the
person of Sarah, the wife of J. Finch.
The prosecutrix deposed, that her husband is a
journeyman painter. She lives at N 0.3, James-street,
Manchester-square, in a back garret. She knew the
prisoner perfectly : he lived in the smile house, on
the second floor. He is married too, but his wife is
in the country. On the 26th of August she asked
the prisoner, when he had time, to put a top on her
bed. Her husband was in the country., and that was
the reason she asked the prisoner to dO it. This was
on Saturday; and on Tuesday lae came up into her
room to do it ; but nothing farther passed at that'
time, not even a joke. She observed that he had left
his hammer on the table. She went a little way
down stairs, and gave it to him. She then went up
again to her own room, and began sweeping it : this
was between three and four in the afternoon. The
prisoner came into her room : he walked up to her
to the window, caught fast hold of her, and accom-
plished his purpose... She endeavoured to get away,
and made a hallooing. He said, " ll—n you, don't
make a noise, they'll hear!" To which she answered
that she wished them to hear! The bed was turned
up. Prisoner shut the window, and was about ten
minutes in her room. Most of the people of the
house we oat ; but she went down to .the landlady
to tell her, but the had company ; and she abstained
from telling hat afterwards because she thought she
, would mot believe at. Next day told a female named
Howard. She told her husband, not that night or
next gay; '.,ut on the Thursday morning after ; and

Dauny-LAVE.—Mr. KEAN appeared on Satur-
day evening in the character of King Richard the
Third, being the last performance of this celebrated.
actor previous to his departure for America, and a
crowded house assembled to receive his farewell.—
At the fall of the curtain, which took place imme-
diately after the fall of Richard, a general call was
made for the actor, and, after a short interval, Mr.
KEAN entered, led in by Mr. ELLISTON, who ad-
vanced with him to the middle of the stage, and
then retired. A considerable patr,e 'ensued before
Mr. KEAN became sufficiently collected to address
the audience, which he did nearly as follows : •
" Ladies and Gentlemen—lt is with pain I announce to you
that a long period mast elapse before I again have the honour
of appearing before you; and when I reflect on the uncertainty
of life. the sentiment will intrude itself, that this may possibly
be my last performance on these boards—(Cries of " No, no ;
we hope not, Kean").—My feelings overcome me—(in a voice
deeply agitated)—l am unable to proceed. (After a consider-
able pause Mr. Kean resumed.) I cannot but remember with
gratitude that this is the spot where I first enjoyed-the welcome
of public favour. I was then a wanderer and unknown ; but'
received here shelter, and, I may add, reputation. During eight
years your favour has been my protection and•.encouragement ;
my present enjoyment and future hope.. It .bas-been to me a
shield against the shafts of calumny to which I have been ex-
posed :it is the cargo that freights my venture to another clime,
and is the star to which my thoughts, when I again direct them
to my native home, ultimately tt.en, Ladies and Gentlemen,
my heart is too full to add more : with the deepest sentiments
of esteem and gratitude I respectfully bid you farewell."
Mr. KEAN then slowly retired, and his exit was
attended with enthusiastic applause from all parts of
the Theatre. These testimonies of respect terminated
by unanimous cheers, " thrice three times" repeated,
u hen a large portion of the audience immediately
quitted the House.
ENGLISH OPERA.HOUSE.—Mr.BARTLEY, the Stage
Manager for the present season, had his benefit here
en Saturday eight, on which occasion he played
Falstryl, in The Merry Wives of Windsor. It is four
years since he appeared in that character, which we
believe will be matter of surprize to those who wit-
nessed his last performance. It is almost unnecessary
to observe that Mr. BARTLEY was received through-
out with great and repeated applause. Miss KELLY
played Mrs. Ford for the first time, and with com-
plete success. Mrs. Page found ano less adequate
representative in Mrs. CHATTERLEY. Mr. Ford was
played by Mr. EGERTON, of Covent-Garden Theatre.
His portraiture of the jealous husOand was highly
correct and natural. Mr. HARLEY exhibited Slender
with unusual fidelity ; • never did we see a more
striking image of imbecility and inanity ; it fre-
quently excited commiseration instead of contempt.
—Some Irish, Scotch, and comic songs, by Messrs.
BROADHURST, HARLEY, and Wirucissox, succeeded;
and the entertainments were concluded by the Melo-
drame of The Innkeeper's Daughter. The House
was crowded.
