The prisoner, in his defence, gave a lone history of
all the [public-houses at which he and the proseeutor had
stopped to drink during the two days ether tralelling
together, and saki, ;hat on the secnird day, the prose.
cutor had got so intoxicated that he fell off his pony,
and prisoner put him on it again ; that prosecutor after-
wards attempted to pick a quarrel with him, and did
strike him, and beat the pony without any cause what-
ever. I heprisoner pegged him to desist, saying he had
given him 'Fro offence, but that prosecutor still continued
ill using,lim, on which account he left prosecutor, and
went on.te Bernard Castle.

Mr. Justice PARK said, that he should now men-
tion a circumstance which he had thought it right to
withhold till after the Jory had delivered their ver-
dict; and that circumstance was, that the prisoner I
had only been discharged from the ga )1 of this minty
a few days before he committed the present rubbery._
The pri;oner had been convicted at the Spring Assiz .s
of 18'25, and was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment
and hard labour. The punishment he ,had already
undergone, and the crime he had committed to sOOO
after that punishment was completed, showed him to,
be a hardened offender, and but that the very beastly
state of drunkenness in which the prosecutor was at the
time of the robbery had seemed to offer to the prisoner,
who was then in necessitous circumstances, a very
strong temptation, the law must have taken its course.
At present, however, his Lordship should certainly re.
' commend to his Maje•ty that the prisoner's life might
he spared; but should that recommendation be attended
to, the prisoner *rust prepare to leave this country f r
life. Sentence of death was then, for form's sake, re-
corded against the prisonr.

WARWICK, JULY 26.
THZ ZINC V. MART ANNE WASSILL.

' This Lady, whose adventurous pursuit of Dr. Wake
has been the theme of Much merriment in this ancient
borough, was this morning brought up in the custody of
the gaoler, upon a motion of Mr. Humfreys, calling
upon the commitfiser° Magistrates to skew cause why
she should not be- dicharged out of custody.
It is known to those.who are curious in matters of this
description, that the lady's hostility to this lively dib:
ciple of Galin has originated in a violent suspicion_
as the lawyers term it—that the Doctor was the pos
sessor of some evidence which might tend materially to
advance her chances of success in a long-pending Chan-
cery suit. The D tctor, however, like the proprietors of
" Velno's Vegetable Syrup," refused to make known
the secret, and hence the mobs, and shouts, and angry
demonstrations of a Warwickshire mob, which have
ended in the committal of the lady to the common
gaol of Warw ck, until she should find securities to
kelp the peace.
Mr. Hummers, today, contended, that the commitment was
illegal,,as the offence imputed to the prisoner was an indictable
offence, and no bill had been preferred against her.
Mr. Amos, in support of the conviction, contended that the
prisoner was committed merely to find securities " for her good
behaviour."

The Lady, who is rather an intelligent-looking person, but whose
glory longevity has somewhat obscured, then retired from the bar,
accompanied by a very young lady, who is, we understand, a rela-
tive of Miss Wassell'a. _

EXETER, Jun' 46.
"At the sitting of the Court, "Mass Dodd; whose extraordinary
ease we noticed yetteniaT, was brought up to receive judgment WI
his conviction for having assaulted the girl Sarah Oath German,
with intent to ravish her, and was sentenced to be imprisoned in
the House of Correction for six calendar months, and there kept to
hard labour.

The letters from India are from Bombay to the Bth
March. Among other intelligence, chiefly commercial, they have
conveyed the news of the death of the celebrated native (parse.)
merchant Homan, Bourns, of Bombay; he was supposed to have
died worth two millions sterling. He was connected in business
with the great house of Fours and Co. The news from Calcutta
is not later than the previous arrivals.
At the Adjourned Surrey Sessions, yesterday, a true
bill was found against Mr. Etutrow, for an assault
upon Mr. Poole, the author, at Vauxhall Gardens.
Yesterdy a Meeting of the Proprietors of the Corn-
eal! and Devonshire Mining Company was held at the
King's Head Tavern in the Poultry, at which Mr. W.
CLARK addressed the Chair at considerable length,
strongly animadverting on the conduct of one of the
projectors of the Company, *he, he said, purchased
mines for 79,5001. and sold them to the Association for
121,00 W. thus putting into the pockets of himself and
those with wham he acted a clear profit of 41,500/--
After some further exposures, a Committee of Enquiry
was appoirited ; and thanks having been voted to the
Chairman and Mr. CLARK. the Meeting separated.
THE LATE MR. FARQUHARBIE appears that the
claimants to the vast property of the late Mr. Fmtou-1
HAR have, for the present, been disappointed in their
expectations of speedy possession. The heir at law, that
is the first claimant, is now supposed to be a resident
among the wilds of America. It is a female, the eldest
niece, who married many years ago a Frenchman. The
LORD CHANCELLOR says. until that Lady appears
nothing can be dune." She has an undivided title to
the domains at Foothill. Mr. FARQUHAR, it seems,
never obtained the tide deeds of that estate ; the stamp
duty he refused to pay, amounting to one thousand
pounds, and, consequently, Mr. BECICTORD never exa►
cuted the conveyance. .
It appears by returns made to the House of Com-
mons by the Inspector General of imports and exports,
and which' have just been printed, that the exports from
Great Britain to France of British and Irish produce
and manufactures, for the year 1825, ending January
5, 1826, amounted, according to the official value, to
279.1751. 14s. 7d.; and, according to the declared
value, to 960,6311. ss. Id. The value of imports into
Great Britain, for the same period, was as follows:
Official value 1,790,56 U. 2s. Bd. Amount of Custom
duties received on each article imported, 1,605,7861.
15s. Id. The exports of foreign and colonial produce
for the like period, according to the official value,
amounted to 892,2951.71. Id.

MANGHrarrsa.—A Meeting of the General Commit-
tee of the Local Fund, for the relief of the poor, was
held on Monday, at the instance of the Boroughreeve,
" for the purpose of taking into consideration the very
reduced state of the funds." A Report of the dila-
pidated state of the funds having been read, a motion
was made that a Deputation should be appointed to
proceed to London, and confer with the Metropolitan
Committee on the subject. By this means only, it was
contended, that tamper attention could be obtained to
the.urgent claims of the vast multitude who are de-
pendent upon public charity for their daily support.
When this motion. had been some time under consi-
deration, it was stated that the Local Committee of
Correspondence bad, en Thursday last, addressed a
letter to the London Committee, soliciting their imme-
diate attention to this disuict.
