LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCTOBER R.
PERJURY.—TITS KING V. MARIA GLRNN.
This case excited an unusual degree of interest,
and the Court was crowded at a very early hour.
The name of the defendant has already in so many
shapes appeared before the Public, that a very brief
sketch of the circumstances will suffice to recal the
case to the recollection of our Readers. At the Sum-
mer Assizes for the County of Dorset, in the year
1817, "James Bowditch and others were tried for for-
cibly carrying off from her uncle, Mr. Tuckett,
Maria Glenn, a young Lady of some fortune, and of
extremely tender age. The defence set up was, that
the Lady voluntarily eloped, and an infinite number
of circumstances were sworn to which tended to spew
a previous familiar intercourse between the parties.
The defendants were, however, principally upon the
evidence of Miss Glenn herself, found guilty. In the
ensuing Term application for a new trial was made
to the Court of King's Bench ; and upOn the affida-
vits of William Turl, Ann Sutton, Frances Sutton,
Elizabeth Sutton, and other persons, swearing to
their positive knowledge of such acts of familiarity
on the part of Miss Glen towards James Bowditch as
negatived all probability of a forcible abduction, a
rule to shew cause was granted.. On the argument
for making the rule absolute, Miss Glenn, by her
affidavits absolutely denied the statements contained
in the affidavits against her; and the rule being in
consequence discharged, the defendants were brought
lup for judgment, and sentenced to different terms of
imprisonment. Upon the affidavits made .by Miss
Glenn against the rule for a new trial the present in-
dictment was founded; and perjury was assigned
upon' upwards of forty statements. The assign-
ments, however, upon which the case turned were
three in number. First, upon Miss Glenn's state-
ment-•-that she did not stand as godmother at the
christeningsto Mrs. Mulraine's child; nor wore upon
that occasion a spencer and• bonnet belonging to Su=
sannah Bowditch, the sister of James Bowditch: se-
condly, that she did riot dance at a certain festival
on the same evening at thebonse of Mrs. Joan Bow-
ditch, and that she was not upon that occasion kissed.
as one of the godmothers: thirdly, that she never
walked in the streets of Taunton, nor in a certain
place called the French Weir-field with J. BOwditch.
Several witnesses were examined to ',wove the two.
former assignments, and the latter circumstance was'
sworn to by a most respectable lady, the wife of
.Colonel Alcock, of Taunton, and also by her two
daughters. The manner in which these young ladies
gave evidence, cool, cautious, and discriminating,
defining exactly the extent of their testimony, and to
what they did swear, swearing without doubt or he-
sitation, produced upon the minds of the defendants'
Counsel an impression that it would be quite idle to
attempt its contradiction ; and Mr. Serjeant FELL
having stated to the Court and the Jury that he was
not prepared to contradict it, left the case to their
own unbiassed judgments, and his Lordship having
summed up, the Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty.

Ix /verity, To tin Svorrem Woatn.—Sailor, the winner of
the Derby this year, and which horse was backed at even on
Saturday, at Newmarket, to win the St. Leger Stakes (run for
yesterday), died on Monday morning between six and seven
o'clock. He was taken nut to undergo his last sweat, and he
faltered in his gallop near the Duke's Stand, and died shortly
after he was taken into the stable. 'This event has caused much
consternation amongst betters, and Mr. 'Thornhill, the owner,
has sustained a severe loss, having been lately offered X 3,500
for him. On opening the horse, the heart was much enlarged,
and a rupture of one of the vessels near it had taken place.
