The Witness said--K All Whit ailed is true.—
The plaintiff and Tardily mid shell seise going to
the George piddle-head at Wimdwroith, when I met
them, and not to snare game.• I took a walk with
them. I didetotmailt sellit-the plaintiff on the next
day at all: I belies, lit kept his bed st that time,
and a long tile, after."
COMMON 81313111A14t.--" Had Purday any stick?"
Witness.—., I think lie had a little switch stick.—
No violence was offered to Allen. On the contrary,
he alone acted with violence: I believe he was in:li-
quor at the time."
Dr. Simmons deposed as follows:—" I examined
the plaintiff a short time after he was shot and found.
he was dreadfully wounded. A great number of
shots wpre in his knee, leg and thigh. I hoped it
would not prove fatal, but I had great apprehensions
at the time that it might. I never saw the plaintiff
after that night, till I saw him on the trial at King.
ston. He then limped, which was no doubt the con-
sequence of the injury he received by being shot. I
believe the limping was not affected : it was the pro-
bable effect of the injury in the thigh. I think for a
labouring man such an injury would prove highly
prejudicial to him in his employment, and of more
serious consequence than to a person whose occupa-
tion.was of a different and lighter description."
Mr. Joseph Hill, tlie father-in-law of the plaintiff,
deposed that the plaintiff had suffered eight or nine
weeks serious indisposition from the injury he received
when he was shot, and he was net able to do any
work for twelve weeks.

of the defendant ; and recommended the Jury to give
such fair and moderate damages as they should be of
opinion, after a dispassionate review of the facts

learned that a man of the description of the person
whose name was stated to be F.tulkner, but whose
Ireal name was Charles Rennett, had set Of from the
London inn at DOver, with 4 child answering the
description of the stolen child, to Calais, in a boat ;
and that he had obtained passports in the name of
George Reynold:. When Taunton arrived at Ca-
lais, he found that the delinquent had left there on
the 10th inst. lie had been at a tavern kept by a
!person named Meurice, and had taken refreshments,
and also given some to the child, who was in good

that the pursuers had discovered the route taken by
Bennett, and were at least three stages on the way

DR CA DP UL Acctt z xr.—Saturday afternoon, about
!kiar o'clecic, an accident of a. very serious nature oc,
ksurred it Lombard-street, arising oat of the fire
larhicleteok place tie preceding night, at the house of
'Mr. CARROLL, the Lottery Office-keeper. The flames
tended
their ravages to the premises of Messrs.
ern and Co. cutlers, in Lombard-street, the era.
part of which were destroyed. The front wall re-
!seined standing, but- in a perilous situation. The
firemeit, who were actively employed on the spot, re-
peatedly warned the passengers to keep at a distance;
but-this notification of danger had but little effect.—
The wall at length gave way while the street was
.erowded with. passengers and persons looking at the
destruction.the fire had caused. Tea or twelve per-
sons were buried in the ruins. A very respectable
dressed female, passing at the moment, was so much
injured. that she was conveyed away apparently life-
less, having her eye knocked out, and her head
greatly injured. The son of Mr. Mackreth, grocer,,
Lombard-street, aged 13, was so dreadfully bruised,
'that he was taken.home and died in a short time;—
.. Anderson, of the Phceniz Fire-office, had his skull
shockingly fractured; a little girl, about seven years
old, was killed ; two lads and a working man were
taken from the ruins, the latter put upon a shutter,
and carried to the Hospital ; two of Mr. Smart's

iheftutis ;one died fitniil2t.and the other is said to
be in a dimgyrous stale. During the whole of the
night ifie street was crowded widr'anxious inquiring
(needs; wed notwithstanding the fatal accident, the
&yam aid City police officers had great difficulty
lie precasting the idle curiosity of numbers from risk-
ing a similar rycurrence, as the remaining part of the
building was expected to fall every moment. The
street has been barricadeed, neither carriages r.er
foot passengers we suffered to pass, and ever,: pre-
cantion has been taken for the security of the people.
Cornhill was also secured in• the same manner, as
the front of Mr. Caanot.L's house remains in the
same dangerous state. By the fall of Mr. Sitiries
wall, the clearing house opposite had a number of
windows broken, but the bankers clerks who atten-
ded at that hour, fortunately escaped any injury. In
consequence of the above_melancholy event, a total
stop was put to business. The mail coaches were not
allowed to enter Lombard-street ; they drew up in
Cornhill near the Bank, and the bags were conveyed
to them. . .

Friday morning an elderly man. named Boyce,
while at work on a house in the neighbourhood of
Poplar, by some accident was precipitated to the'
ground, and killed on the spot.
A shocking accident occurred on Friday, leading
out of Soho-square. A young man, groom to .Sir.
NIATTENLItY, of Percy-street, was leading a young ,
horse, and riding another, when a pour woman,
named Bentley, was passing, with 'a child in her
arms, and leading another, when the led horse plun-
ged out with his hind feet, and struck the woman on
her side. She was conveyed to the Hospital in a
senseless state, but the children escaped unhurt.
PitoviDE NTI L tiCAPE.---Saturday morning, a
poor sweep boy, who was employed in sweeping the
chimnies of Mr. Arthur flaytion, the Three Neats'
Tongues, Pearl-street; Spitalfields, met with the fol-
lowing accident: When the little fellow, had finished
`swedping the last chimney, and whilst at the top, he
•got into the chimney-pot, and began rattling with his
brush, to apprize the people that he was at the top,
when unfortunately the pot gas e way, and rolled
'down the roof, dyer the parapet, and was precipita-
ted into the street. a fall of not less than forty feet.
The chimney-pot was baoken into a thousand pieces.
On a Gentleman of the nameof Duffy running to his
.assistance; he jumped up, and exclaimed—" I- am
not much hurt—pray. don't be frightened l" And
it peoved.thaa he had received no material injury by
the fall. Yesterday he felt no other effect from, it
than a. slight stiffness in his neck.

EXTRAMIDINA RV DISCOVERY OF A Witt.—The
following is copied from a recent Chester Paper:—
About four years ago, a man, pos,:essed of very con-
siderable property, died, bequeathing his effects to
his daughter, in exclusion of his son and wife. His
will, it seems, fell into the hands of his wife, with
whom the son was a favoe rite :• and to plevent its
'wine carried into effect, size buried it, together with
stautz,other valuable papers she could collect, in the
n with her husband. A few weeks ago, being
on her death-bed, she confessed the particulars to a
arnd, enjoining her not to disclose the fact till after
her death. The widow is now 'dead, and application
ii making at Doctors Commons, to take up the coffin
'of the deceased man, which, it is understood, will be
granted.
Anise CEDANT TOC.C.—It is a fact, that at the Oc-
tober examinatlons for entrance at Trinity College,,
Dublin, one hundred and three candidates were ad-
mitted, out of which number twenty-six were Lieute-
nants on Kali-pay.
Where an assemblage of talent and erpetlenee is
concentrated in one line of practi:e, a success must
attend their application, not to be found elsewhere.
This has been evinced in the Establishment of foe

Medical Board at Charlotte-House. Blackfliars-mad,
and at Woodstock-House, Woodstock-street, Oxford-
street, where cures are every day performed in cases
which have baffled the skill of eminent professors,
and excited their astonishment.—The Medical Board'
have particularly attended to those consequences of a
certain disease, which entails the most distressing de-
bilities, and unhinges the constitution of both sexes.
They also remove the effects of those symptoms aris-
ing from juvenile indiscretion, from irregular living,
and from a long residence in warm climates—of this
description they beg particularly to notice obstinate
eruptlerts in the skin, sore throat, pains in the head and
limbs, frequently mistaken for rheumatism, strictures,
fistulas, scrophula, &c.—Messrs. COOPER and Co.
:titer forty years practice in various Hospitals, arc
consulted at Woodstock-street, Oxford-street, daily,
from eight till eight; and at the Medical Board,
Charlotte-House, Great Charlotte-street, Blackfriars-
road, precisely from twelve until eight in the evening.
—Mechanics, and persons of moderate income, have
advice, gratis, if they attend at certain hours; namely,
Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday mornings, until one
o'clock, and from six to eight. every evening..
