SURREY SESSIONS, Dec. S.

Thomas Bideley, a native of the sister country, stood
indicted for assaulting Ma. y Maria Cooper, with intent
to violate tier person. on the 28th of October last.
• The pitiseentrit staled, that on the evening men.
dotted in the itidictmento she was returning homeiiimii
di iing with some frie4s in Arendel-streq, in the
Strand, and on arriving near the shop of Alderman
Waithman she inquired of the difesedant the nearest way'
to Whitech.rpel, the place where she resided. The die
Pendant offered to put her in the right road, Witness
walked by his side until she arrived in a dark street in
Biackfriars-road. Suspecting that the defendant was
leading her astray, she questioned him, when he mina •
menced a violent attack upon her. (Here vritneu mi-
nutely detailed the defendant's conduct.) She cried out
"Mulder," and two persons came to her assistance.
—Storey stated, that he was a green-grocer, residing •
in Church-street, Blackfriars.road. On the night in
question he heard the cries of a female from the back of
his house ; he and his wife went to the spot, arid found
the protecutrix and the defendant strnggling on the
ground. He remonstrated with the defendant, and•
ultimately gave him in charge of the watchman, and
rendered every assistance to the prosecutrix : her
gown was much torn, and covered with mud. Wit-
ness here observed that he conceived he should not
be doing his daty unless he related to the Court
what had come to his knowledge since the present sea.
sions had commenced. At the time he gave the defend..
Idiot into custody, he believed the prosecutrix's story.
which was the same she had this day detailed, and that.
she was a virtuous woman ; however, on Tuesday'
morning last, in going along Flees-market, between
the hours of three and four, he observed the prorecutrit
there in the company of several of the most abandoned
females that infest that quarter. On leaving the Court
the following day, he was determined to be convinced
that be had not been mistaken, and for this purpose he
disguised himself and followed her to Fleet.matket,
though she stated she was going to her home at Chelsea.
-On her art ival at Fleet-market, she entered into the same
society, and he observed her conduct herself in the most
indelicate manner.

The defendant in his defence declared his innocence,
and that the prosecutrix had consented to accompany
him down the by. place, where they no sooner art ived
than she called out " murder,"and gave him in charge
for an attempt to violate her.
The CHAIRMAtis in summing up the evidence, ob.
served, that notwithstanding the prosecutrit's character,
they would, if they believed her story, find a verdict
against the defendant; however, an assault had cettaiuly
besn committed.

The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of the COOP
man assault.

The CounT sentenced him to two months' imprison-
ment in the County jail.

CHARGE OF ARSON;.OR, Suedur!,G OUT A TENANT.
—At Queen-square Police Office, on Saturday morning, a man,
who is a mason by trade, and an occasiooal preacher among tie
Methodists, charged a female with the crime of arson. It appeared
that the defendant, being in arrears with the rent, the Reverend
prosecutor, in whose house she was a lodger, took the liberty, for
the purpose of ejecting her and her husband from their apartments,
to stop up the top of their chimney. To avoid this mode of eject-
merit she made a fire is a kettle, from which the coals fell and barot
,the floor. The Magistrates said, that no Jury would convict the
prisoner of arson on such evidence, and ordered' her to' he set at
liberty, and advised her to pay the rent, which would render the
trouble of " stnekiug" her and ber hasban4 out unnecessary. .

Monday night, the warehouse of Messrs. Crawford
and King, manufacturers in Beith, was broken into, and
cash and goods to the amount of 701. stolen:

LA* INTkLLIGENCE.
' COURT OF CHANCERY, Damn= a.
IN RE TAR CORONER OF THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX.
Mr. KNIGIIIT in this case, which has already been re
ratedly before the Court, made an application that the
writ for the election of a new Coroner should not issue
till after the Epiphany Sessions. The party on whore
behalf this application was made, it will be remembered,
has been in custody under an arrest for debt for some
time past, and consequently unable to discharge hiss
duties. Mr. Knight stated, on the behalf of his client,
that this Gentleman had every reason to believe, that
before the expiration of the time DOW asked, he should
be able to effect an arrangement with all his creditoss,,
• and resume the discharge of his duties.
The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired whether any one
appeared on the behalf of the llagistrates of the County
to oppose this application?
Mr. DANIEL repeated what had been already stated,
rt there was, en the part cf the Magistrates no hwtile
feeling towards the petitioner, and therefore he should

leave-this matter entirely in the breast of the Colin.
His Lordship then said that he should grant the
indulgence sought for, in consequence of the peculiar
circumstances of the case. The petitioner had served
the office for a long period ; his character was unim
peachable, and it was now owing only to an unfortu•
mate accident that he was for a short time unable jo
Wit the duties of his office.
Mr. DA NIZL, suggested that the writ for ■ new elec•
tion bad better be drawn up to issue on the first day of
next term, in case the petitioner should not be able by
that time to sewn e the duties of his office, as it would
save the expense of coming to the Court again.
His Lordship was of opinion that the expense of
coming to the Courr again would probably be less dials
that of drawing up the writ now.
Mr. KNIGIIT was also, on the behalf of his client,'
anxious that the writ should not be drawn up, as his
client would certainly not come again and ask more time.
The matter was accordingly settled, that no further,
steps should be taken till alter the expiration of the time
now asked by the petitioner, for the completion of an
arrangement with his creditors.

COURT OE KING'S BENCH, Dac.
(Sittings at Nisi
BISHOP 11. CHASIBRIG

This was an action on a promissory note for SOL al-
leged to have been passed by the defendant when resi-
dent at St. John's College, Cambiidge. The plaintiff
was a wine merchant, and it was stated that the note was
passed in consideration for money lent in the year 1814.
The Rev. Mr. Fisher was called to prove the hand-
Writing of the defendant, who was an under graduate
of St. John's College.
Cross-examined—lt is the es loci, or law of the place
in Cambridge, that debts ate not recoverable from tin-
der graduates, except for necessaries.
Mr. BROUGHAM submitted, that the action could not
be maintained, as the note was not Liven for necessaries,
according to the law of Cambridge.
Lord TENTIRDLN said the rule only appliid to minors.
Mr. DRNMAN—According to Mr. Brougham's argil-
Cloy Lord, this tale would become the law of
n when the new University is established—(A

hh), .
Mr. tinotponam—My friend has mote shares in that
than I have. i

A person named Keswick stated, that he called on
the defendant in September last to demand payment of
the note in question. The defendant said, " I know I
owe Bishop money, and I am sorry he did not apply
earlier." Upon looking at the note, Mr. Chairsbte said,
Ble.s me, is that my en iting?-1 w rite vet y differently
noa."

Lord fastreawnr pointed out an alteration which
[appeared on the face of the note,, which, in his opinion,
had been altered. There wrns no evidence amounting
to a promise to pay; therefore, if the Jiiry believed the
note had been altered by the plaintiff, or whilst in his
posrssion, it was invalid.
The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant.

LIZ V. DORSI elt. ESQ.
This was an action for an assault.—Mr. TALECOORD
opened tbe pleadings:
The COMMON SISOSAJOF stated the case.—The plain.
tiff was an attorney, resident at Whitney, in Oxfordshire.
The defendant was a Gentleman of large fortune, the
son of Sir C. Dormer, for many years Master of the
Ceremonjes to his Majesty, and the son-in-law of Sir
'Walter Strickland, who appeared to he a most rigid
preserver of game. He could not help adding, that the
squabbles and ill blood engendered by the Game Laws
in the country were so great, that those who were obliged
to reside in town, had reason to congratulate themselves
in their freedom from such anaoyances. The plaintiff was
a Gentleman cf great resyectability, and as well quali-
fied to pursue game as any master of ceremonies or
any Bonnet in the kingdom. In —, he happened to
=bwith two dogs, which started a hare in a turnip
elonging to plaintiff himself, but the hare not
being acquainted with the restrictions of the Game
Laws, jumped over a fence into Sir %V. Strickland's
par k.The dogs pursued,aod Mr. Lee, and two friends who
were with him, used every exertion to get off the dogs,
which they did in a short time.' In the evening of the
same d .y, Mr. Cottrel Dormer, the defendant, called
at Ma Lee's house, and be had not yet come borne.
Mr. Dormer then proceeded in search of him on horse-
back with a stick iu his hand, and having met Mr.
Lee, he inflicted two heavy blows on his aim with the
stick, and alter some remarks, threw Mr. Lee his card
and rode off. Under these circumstances, Mr. Lre
thought himself bound to bring Mr. Dormer before a
metropolitan Jury, who would not be so likely to sym
pathige with a great game preserver as a Jury of
Oxfordshire Squires. Mr. Dormer was one pf those
nominated to fill the office of High Sheriff for the
county of Oxford during the ensuing year, so that Mr.
Lee bad some reason. for bringing his case into this
Court, where he cone ently expected thost the Jury
would give such damages as would not only punish the.
defendant, but serve as an example to wealthy young
Squires throughout the country.
Evidence was aichced of the assaults and a verdict
taken for the plair.tift —Damages stll.

WLU* -01. PA itOoT.

This was an action to Mintier a'cOttiptteption in day
stages for a false impritcluntrist of'The' plaintiff in the
watchhouse of 8t: Leonard, Shoteditch, on the night of
the 11th of April last.
From the Evidence of fne watchman it appeared, that
about half past eleven ecluck on the night in questied
the defendant, who keeps a publie•house in the neigh*:
bourhood of the Cnrtain•road, desired the witness to
take the plaintiff to the watchhouse ; and on his arrival
there, in consequence of the defendant not being ptitent
to prefer his charge, the constable of the night desired
him to be sent for. On his coming he expressed his
regret at seeing the plaintiff in such a situation, but
did not deny that he had sent him there. The time

Mr. Thom/10er the defendant, submitted that the
plaintiff could not recover any damages from the de-
fendant, as he was not the person who gave the charge.
Jefferys stated that on the night of the 11th of
April, he had been drinking in company with the
plaintiff and a person of the name of Helme, betvreen
whom and Gilkes there arose a dispute on their leaving
the house as to some moary which one of the partiet
had lost at cards. The defendant desired the watch.
man to.tell the parties to move on, but did not give the
plaintiff in chatge. Helme then said *l' I'll bast—d ii
youi—meaning Gilkes--shall not go to the watclshouse,
and rn charge you." Upon which the plaintiff walked
away with the watchman.-
The LORD Calm JUITSCS having summed up, tbr-1
Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages one,
farthing, and expressed their disappriibation of the de.l
Pendant's allowing cards to be played in his house.
The Loan Cacac JUSTICE refused to certify, on the
ground of the defendant's baring denied his sending
the plaintiff to the watch.honte ; and said, that under&

ADMI RA ETY:C47OIII; D. e.

IN THIL iIdTTIR Of TWO SLAYII4..NAIIED 40ff N SMITH

AND RACIIRL.

This.case, which was argued in part the third sessions
of this term, it will be recollected, was an appeal from
the sentence of, the • Vice •Admiralty.court at Antigua, ,
on an information • at the
.suit of an officer of the Cus-
toms, who had seised the two slaves in question, on the
l
ground of a contravention of the slave laws. The two
slaves originally be:ongeal to MIS. Icirwaneff.A.istigoe4
from -whom t' -e property anthem came te,Mrs.aklaver7
c asap during life, and alter her death they (along with
others) were to be the joint property of her daughters:—
• Maj 4- Watts, an officer in a West as-NA r Omen', th elms-
band of once/ the dauOters, took thasowo slaves with
bins as domestic servants to Gibraltar, where, he_ gave
them a certificate by which he fiber ateJ their, es Jaras he
was coacetned, and they were sent by General,Don, abe
Governor of Gibraltar, to 11.1rbadoes. On thzir arrival
at that island, applicattoo was made to Lord Comber.
mere, the then Governor, by the executor of. Mrs. Kir.
wan, for their being given up, and his Lordship et-
cordial,* sent them to Antigua, where they were some
time alter seized. It was contended, Ist, that the slaves,
being free at Gibraltar. were induced to setarn to the
colony by the idea that they were really manumitted,
and that therefore their return was not eolaultary: 2cl,
That on their transit from liarbadoes to Antigua they
were unaccompanied by the bond and licence taqtfired,
by law, and were consequently forfeited. • ..
Dr. DODSON (in the absence of Dr. JiNNIR. who is
.still confined by iudispositino) now replied on behalf of,
the owners, who were the. tespoadenth The Learned
Advocate admitted that the slases were free et Gitnal•
tar. He contended that there was no.legal fraud, as
.was alleged in the removal of the slaves from Gibraltar,
to Barbadosts.. The instt amen' of manumission was in-
formal: it bore upon.the face of i; a doubt on the part
of Major Watts of his tight to enfranchise the slaves., As
to the possession of the slaves having been given to him
,by the owper, and thereby an im,lied power to menu.
obit, it appeared is the Aid-nee that the slaves, whilst
absent in Gibraltar, had been so registered by their
owper. instrument was lot the sole motive which
lioduced the slaves to taunt. Dr. Lushh;ton had, in
a former case, expatiated upon the natural ando.cernents
to a slave's MUM to the colony where he had been
born. With respect to the alleged violation of law,
owing to the absence of a bond and license- on the
transit of the slays from. Birbadires to Antigua, this
was no mercantile transaction,—if was no importatioo
within the meaning of the Statute; the slaves- were for.
warded from the constituted authority of one island to
that of another; it was a matter of policy, and it had
been admitted that there was no oath fides in the trans.
action. But taking it is animportation, there had been
no transgression of the law ; the 46 Geo. 11 I. required no
bond or license in the case of domestic slaves; if
it did, and if both were admitted, the statute did not
impose a forfeiture of the slaves, unless they were
is found on board during the voyage." Is was reason.
able that it should be so; for the object of the statute
WAS to prevent the eonvej ante of slaves in British
vessels to foreign colonies, and to ensure their trensfea.
Ito a British colony ; thetefoie, the moment they reached
a British colony, the object of the Legisliture was
fulfilled. The Leagued A'Jvoc.tf was theo.pipe.eding
to argue that the lapse of time put.tbaappellant out of
C .uat. when

Lord Srowat.t. observed, he should not decide the case
upon that ground. His Loidship then gave sentence.—
This was as dear a case as h id ever been brought isetore
the Count. The slaves *ere not the property-of Major
Watts or of his -wife ;at the time when she pretended
mann nission rook place. At ehe property did not vest
in that Officer, belled 10 OWN; Of disposing of it. Oa
the death of the grandmother, the pvoperty-becente the
mother', for life ;• the possession was' vested in the exe-
cuter. He applied, as soon as-he was tallied upon to sisal
his claim, to Lord Combermere. Hid thsien - was• ad-
mitted. It w,ts the law of the colony, that arreseenter
should be entitled to the poises:inn 'of the slaves, re.
spon.ible to the owners. The bequest of the staves hid
then made by the grandmother .to her daughter foe
life, with reversion to her four gross idatighterearbet weep
whom the property was to be equally divided; " mu!
I cannot concave," said tis Lordship, " what rigbt
these people had to prr teed against the slaves, or
to inserter e.in the matter." General Don, who sentthenti
to Barbadoes; because there were other persons going'
there, sent th.rn in the most convenient way; there was
no occasion for two or three ships to be employed. They
were sent. therefore, not to their place .ot destination,
but for convenience to Berbadoes„ %hew Lord Cot*
bermere had acted with respect to them in a discreet
and proper manner. He.was not bound by.statutes refs
specting merchants; he alas a Comtsander in Chief and
Governor. "I am not," said his Lordship, ". to notch
such a transaction as this with suspicion. 1 do not think
that suspicion ought la be indulged. towards persons wt o
are appointed to those high %striations on. account of
their trustworthiness. Neither.do I see any i 'propriety
in the manner in which be carried the measure into
executiort." As to his nut consulting his law officer,, he'
did consult them; be .did not act ou his own authority
merely. I Ast nothing is the case which is not perfectly
clear; .1 have not a tattle doubt upon the subject ; 1
