MIDDLESEX SES3IONS.

Yesterday the trial of the wretches whose offence
was noticed in our Mice Report a few days since,
was brought on at these Sessions. The names of the
prisoners are, Wm. Harvey IVasley, Edward Avetept,
William Isnell, Prdliant jemmet, Harvey :Commas,
John Donovan, Ames Nicholson, John Trill, John
Fbrgason, Henry Watford, Clarks Oliver, William
Mitchell, William Anslow, Charles Linemers, lames
Howe, and William Kitchen. They were indicted for
conspiring together to commit an abominable crime,
and to this part of the indictment there were five
counts; and besides these, there were two other
counts, charging them with a misdemeanour, in
assembling together for a criminal purpose. The
body of the Court was crowded at an early hour.
The prisoners were all well dressed, and some of
them had an appearance much above the common
order. Three or four were working tradesmen ; the ,1
others, as it appeared, were for the most part servants,
in or out of place. The first on the list, Wm. Harvey
Wasley, had been a Methodist Preacher, for which
he.obtained a certificate of license at these Sessions
in the year 1801. It did not appear, however, that
he had of late followed that mode oiliving, having,
as we were informed, kept a school for the education
of young children for some years back. Two or
three others of the prisoners appeared to be between
40 and 45; and the rest, with the exception of two,
who did not seem to have exceeded 18 years, were
between 20 and 30.
Mr. ADOLPHUS, who appeared for the prosecution,
which was most laudably carried on by the Parish
lof Mary-la-bonne, addressed the Jury. It was un-
necessary for him to anticipate any of the detail
which would be produced in evidence; they had
heard enough from the reading of the indictment to
explain its nature to them. The task which he and
his Learned Friend (Mr. Alley, who was Counsel for
the Defendants) had to perform, was of a painful na-
ture. lie was aware that his Learned Friend would
conduct his case with all that skill and ability for
which he was distinguished, and at the same time
with the manly candour •which belonged to him.—
The Learned Counsel then adverted to the evidence,
the leading points of which he slight:y touched upon.
Evidence w:ls then called, and the facts proved.
Mr. ALIJA-, foi. the pi i-oners, contended, that there
was no proof' of the conspiracy. A compi,-acy, he
nbserved, shocii be to do some act which was to
lining injury to others ; but the prisoners were only
injuring themselves ; and it would be a solecism in
law, to suppose that any man, or set of men,
conspire against himself or themselves. As to the
innocence of the prisoners on the two other counts,
lw had nothing to say.
The Chairman (M.r. Costar), in remarking on the
evidence, fully concurred in the objection which Mr.
_Uhl had made, as to the want of proof in support
of the consriracy ; but said, there was sufficient, if
the Jury believed it, to convict them of the offences
cliared in the 13t1) and 7th counts.
The Jury accordingly, without hesitation, found
them—Guilty of the offence in the Gth and 7th counts.
It was understood that a capital indictment would
be prefers ed against Wasley and Harvey at the nest
Ses%ions.

to the porter. It appeared that he had been engaged
in the coal trade, but had failed; and being in great
want, together with his wife and children, applied
to the Duke of YORK, not, as he said, from any per-
sonal knowledge of his Royal Highness, but because
he had heard he was a great and benevolent man.
Mr. BIRNIE said, that he was quite correct in his es-
timate of the Duke of YORK, but that his Roy.tt
Highness must not be disturbed. The man acqui-
esced, and went away quietly.
GUILDHALL—EXTRACHIDINART APPLICATION RE-
SPECTING THE Loan MAYOR.—Yesterday, nearly
at the close of the examinations at this Justice-room,
Mr. WILLIAMS, a respectable solicitor, a member of
the Court of Common Council, and an Attorney of
the Lord Mayor's Court, entered within the bar, and
bowing respectfully to Mr. Alderman CIIRISTOPIIER
SMITH, the sitting Magistrate, said lie had to apply
to his Worship for his protection against the violent
conduct of the Lord Mayor of London, and his six
servants, who had turned him out of the Mansion-
house vie annis, three several times. As the nature
of the application must appear to his Worship to be
very extraordinary, he would take the liberty to ex-
plain the whole circumstances of the case :
" I am," said he, 4, an attotr.ey of the Lord Mayor's
Conn, and in that capaciiy form a part of his Lord-
ship's household, and have a seat at the sword-
bearer's table ; I also hare occasional business to
transact at the Mansion-house, and have a particular
drawer assigned to my use there. The situation I
have held more than 12 years, and originally pur-
chased it of the Common Council, for upwards of
£2OOO. It is, therefore, my freehold for life; I have!
also a right of alienation. Thus circumstanced, I
have a clear and indubitable light of egress and re-',
aress to the Mansion-house, and of enjoying all the
pi ivileges uniformly attached to the office I have
purchased; all which rights, during the I•sng period
of 12 years, and under the mayoralties of twelve suc-
cessive Aldermen, your Worship amon.:st the num-
ber, have never in any instance been gocaioned.
The present Loid Mayor, fur what reasons or on'
what grounds I am at A loss to divine, has thought,
proper to deny those rights, to refuse my claim to a
seat at the sword-bearer's table, and to expel me
;ion: the 3lansion-house. As I could not tamely
submit to this obstruction of my just rights, I offeredl
the best peaceable resistance in riy. power, whereupon
his Lordship cancan up his six set Inuits, who, by his
order, he himself aiding and encouraging them, for-
ci.bly turned me out of the Mansion-house. This
violence has been repeated three several times. I
think it proper not to forego the claim of my right,
and intend therefore to_ proceed at the usual hour,
three o'clock, to the Mansion-house, and take my
s •at ; and I am advised, and do now apply to your
Worship, to grant me the assistance Of two officers to
proceed with me, for the purpose c.l protecting file
in the exercise of that riplit, as well a; to be witness
:hat I commit no breach of the peace. The appli-
cation may be novel and extraordinary, but as my
complaint is against the Chief Magistrate of the
City, your Worship must be aware that I have no
either tribunal to which I can apply except to the
Sitting. Alderman in this Justice-room."
Mr. MlT:ran C. Sastrn.--s This is a very unpleasant thing
Jar one Magistrate to be acting against another, and it would be
still more extraordinary to employ the Officers of the City against
the Lord Mayor, its (lief Mai:busty... If there lie noy di,-
pate between his Lordship and yoursill respecting the rights of
the situation you hold. that appears to me to be a question of
law, in which it would not be proper for me to interfere. liis
Lordship may consider the Mansion-house •as his house, and
that you have no right to enter there without his permission. I
know there have been some disputes r..speeting the privileges of
the Gentlemen of the Lord Mayor's house; and I remember
that the Sht tiffs, at the time Mr. Kirby was in that office, re-
fused to provide dinner at the S. ssions-h•ntse for his Lordship's
hninchold, and that the brieritre refused to accommodate them
on these days, during my Mayoralty. I did nut enter into any
eispute on. the subject, but I know that with regard to these
disputes there has been no legal decision ; your remedy, in my
opinion, is by action, to try the question."
Mr. Williams.—" I should be very unwilling to press your
Vi'ut ship to any unpleasant proceeding ; whatever be your deci-
sion I shall bow to it : it is enough for me that I have made the
application. With respect to actions, I hare already commen-
ced ten against his Lordship and his'servants; but am I. Sir,
during the dull tedious delay of the law, to be kept, forcibly
k,:pt, out of my rights? It is not a compensation for damages
that I apply for frosn your hands, but a restitution of my just
right. As to the refusal of the Sheriffs to provide dinner for
his Lordship's! servants at the Sessions, your Worship must see
that has no bearing upon the question. I complain that I am
denied egress and regress to the mansion, and forcibly impelled
therefrom : that a breach of the peace has been committed on
my person, and is likely to be repeated; and I apply to you as
the only acting Ma-istrate to whom I can apply, my complaint
being

pel him to retire. As there would be a Court of Aldermen on
Tuesday, he would advise Mr. Williams not to press his present
application to a single Magistrate, but state his complaint to the
whole assembled body of the Magistracy.
Mr. Williams.—" With great submission to your Worship's
legal adviser I contend, that the Mansion house is the Lord
Mayor's house peed hoe. It is the house of the Corporation.

my right of entry there is in fact acknowledged by the Lord

money taken out of my pocket for the purchase of this place.
Some time ago, when any of these *stations fell ia, the fees
aid emoluments 'rising front the disposal of the appointments,
went to the Lord Mayor far the titre being; some got much,
others more, till at last the Common Council determined to sell
the &nations themselves, and granted some ,e 2,000 or 43.0c0
additional allows:nee to the Lord Mayor, in lieu of all such emo-
lamest. My application for pecuniary redress, I know must be
made to the Court of Common Council: with the Court of Al-
iermen I have nothing do. I have already said I an not dest.
Tom of a decision ; if your Worship thinks it necessary

think It right to. am iolely from my Own opinion; and shall

Tuesday next.
Kr. Wait= bowed respeotAdly to the Alderman, and retired.

The ChA ing.% V, af..er conmalting for a short time
with his brother Magistrates, delivered the sentence
of the Court without any comment. It was, that
William Harvey Wasley and James Howe should be
imprisoned in New gate for twelve months, and all
the others be imprisoned in the same jail for six
months. Few of the prisoners seemed conscious of
the degraded state in which they appeared before
their fellow zren, and many of them betrayed the
most hardened indifference thronzhout the whole of
the trial.

As soon as sentence was pronounced, and the cul-
prits were about to be removed from Court, the
crowd, whether from regret at'the peat lenity they
bad experienced, or indignation at the crime, or both,
set np tremendous shouts and hisses, and it was with
great difficulty that the Officers succeeded in con-
veying their charge from the Ball. As each pri-
soner descended the steps he was ass,,ilcd with loud
hootings, which seemed to be only :I prelude to the
dreadful storm which was'about to bur :t upon them.
From the Hall they were, with considerable diffi-
culty, conveyed to the strong room at the end of the
Sessions Ikuse. Whiist ti:. Constables were making
arrangements - for the conveyance of the prisoners
ii em the strong room to Newgate, the assemblage of
persons outside, Nvhich was now immense, were not
less busy in making their preparations to receive
them on their coming out. The streets lying near
the Court House, which are at all times in a very
dirty state, were at this time rather more so than
usual ; but they were soon cleared of their filth, and
every thing that lay upon them more portable than
a paving-stone was soon gathered up. The prisoners
were handcuffed two and two, a strong iron chain
connecting the whole. A large cart drawn by two
horses drew up to the door. The moment the cart
began to move, showers of filth descended on them
from all sides. The Constables were obliged tally,
in order to save themselves. By the time the pep.
cession reached Smithfield, it was impossible to dis-
tinguish the face or front of any one of them: . h
being market-day, there was, as, usual, a large col-
lection of every kind of offal. This was poured upon
the wretches by those who stood on any elevated
positions, and gave to the whole, now shapeless mass,
an appearance which could not be contemplated'
without the utmost horror, when it was conceived
that 16 human being., chained together, were strug-
gling to breathe under it. On their arrival at New.
gate, many of them were apparently lifeless, which'
they would soon have been in reality, if they had
not been speedily removed beyond the reach of their
assailants.

A.-ESSIS. GOSS and Co. Members of the Rcysl
College of Surgeons in London, bare Kllulously devoted
their attcetiun for tiseae Last 17 years to the study of dim, d;ser-
tiers which so frequently embitter, ard too often prever.t. that
inestimable blessing, n:..trimonial klicity. The numerous apple
catioes they have hitherto received from perslea of the first ex-
tinction, and the uniform success attending their superior oat%
of treatment in such complaints. induces them thus publicly to
offer their assistance. In all cases of debility or deficiency, whe-
:hes resulting from the too freqn:ncy of participating In the pie-
ties of fashionable life, the unbounded indulgence of libertilism,
or a secret solitary habit, which weakens the energy of the mit4,
and destroys the flower of youth, liy producing sterility in the use
sex, and impotence its the other, they oiler a safe and permantot
cure. To those who, from such complaints, are prevented cater-
ing into the married state, and ashamed to seek relief brood eve
their infirmities in silence, it must he consoling to know, how-
ever difficult or ineffectual the cure may be deemed by other
Practitioners, that by a renovating and infallible method they ray
be restored to a sound and vigorous constitution. A certain
disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of indiscretion, and
every species of Venereal infectiort, by a mild and never-failing
mode of treatment, is speedily and radically removed, without
restraint in diet or exercise, as also Strictures of the Urethra and
Gleets, which they are enabled to cure in a short period, without
recourse to the painful and dangerous effects of the Caustic; refe-
rences of which can be given to several Noblemen and Gentlemen
of high respectability, who have been cured in a very short period,
' after haring laboured under strictures for many years.
To Married Femiles, whose expectations of these tender
pledges of connubial happiness have been defeated, it may also be
a pleasing reflection to know, that by a proper perseverance ill
their remedies, the general health it renovated, and the impedi-
ments removed. Messrs. Goss and Co. exclusively profeuirg the
cure of these particular complaints, in order that they maynot be
marked by a mistaken few, with the obloquy so justly attached to
the Ignorant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state,
that they have been properiy educated and initiated into ere
branch of the profession, certificates of which from various hes
pitals rnd testimonials from the highest professional authsrit"
they have to convince any inquirer. That a residence in Os
Wanner hemisphere of our eastern would as well as ha other pets
emboldens them to 'inert, that their researches having been coc-
fined to diseases already enummsted, they hold out a certainty
renovation so such u may labour under the debilitatios effects el
a life passed under the torrid zone ; and farther, that having b.d
opportunities in their professional capacity of forming an intineate
acquaintance with the constitutional habits of seafaring perso:ei
they offer to them the best assurances of Immediate relief; tit
the success resulting from their endeavours first induced them to
quit the practice of the general practitioner; and they presume
tba► their pretensions constitute a fair ground for the unpieee-
