COURT OF XING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 16.
HOLLAS V. ATKINS.
This was an action for slanderous words, import-
ing that the plaintiff was a, bankrupt. _ _

It was proved in evidence, that in the spring of
last year, the defendant, in conversation with another
person, speaking of the plaintiff, said, " Have yOU
beard anything of Mr. Hollas, he is Woke all to
pieces, and his name will be in the papers this week?
he owes you ESO, you say, but you won't get, that
for it (snapping his fingers), he has been twice a
bankrupt within these last five years:
The Jury,_under the Learned Judge's direction,
found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages L'2o.
PHIPPS V. NEVARO.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff .to
recover from the defendang a compensation for the
injury he had sustained from a kick received on the
chest from a mare, the property of the defendant.—
The declaration alleged, that the animal in question
was vicious and dangerous to mankind, and that the
same was well known to the defendant, who, not-
withstanding, permitted her to run loose in asfield
or pasture, through which there was a path to the
plaintiff's house, and that on a certain night, men-
tioned in the declaration, as the plaintiff was cross-
ing the same field, on his way home, the mare being
then feiding in the said field, came suddedly on the
plaindff, kicked him, and did him the injury com-
plained,of. Wittiesces were called,, who proved that
the Plaintiff received the kick from the animal in
question, but they failed to prove anything vicious in
her conduct at any subsequent or prior period, except
that on one occasion, when she was a trespasser on
the* field of the witness, and himself and his son.
were endeavouring to catch her for the purpose of
impounding her, she, in defence of that valuable pri-
vilege, liberty, turned her tail towards them," laid
down her ears, and endeavoured to keep off her as-
sailants with her heels.
Mr. GURNEY, the plaintiff's Coiirisel, • findilig he
could affect the animal's character, no 'further, con-
sented to be non-suited.

OLD BAILEY, DECEMBER 15. •
Frederick Doria was indicted for stealing a seal and
two keys, from the person of Edward Homer. The
prosecutor is an old and infirm man, and the prisoner
is young and active. At the corner of Oxford-street
the prisoner met the prosecutor ; e.t.. former asked the
latter what hour it was? and while the prosecutor
was in the act of pulling out his watch, the prisoner
snatched at his seals, and ran off with them. Being
a well-known character, he was soon afterwards ap•
pretended. Verdict—Guilty.
T. hPeci 'thy, a poor African, was indicted for a
burglary in the house of Mary Topping, and stealing
a clock, her property. The prosecutrix quitted her
house about three in the afternoon, and on her return
at night., found her sitting-room had been broken'
open, and plundered of the articles in question. The
prisoner was stopped the same evening near the house,'
with the stolen articles in his possession.
The prisoner put in a written d efence, stating that
he was driven to the commission of the crime by the
deepest distress, not having tasted food for several
days previous. He never would have stool in-that
disgraceful situation had it not been for the cruelty
of white men, who dragged him from his native
home, in the prime of youth, and he hoped now to
experience some kindness fiom white men, in return
for the cruelties he had suffered from them. The poor
fellow shed tears while his .defence was being Ala.

Mr. Swallow, the hatter, of St. James's;street, had
known the prisoner nine or ten yeah, and believed
him to be a.sttictly honest man. He was some time
ago in the service of one of the dashing tucks at the
West end of the town, who left him without paying
him his wages, and he was in a state of dreadful suf-
fering during the last severe winter. •
The Jury found him Guilty of Stealing, but note(
the burglary ; and it was .determined by the Court,
at the suggestion of Mr. Swallow and.the Jury, to
get him into the Refuge for the Destitute.

Szouorton.—Some few weeks back, we gave an
account of a young Lady,.in her siiteenthyear, re-
siding with her widowed mother.at Chelsea, hating
been decoyed from her home, end conveyed to Scot-
land, by a certain aged M. P. *We stated also that
it was intended to apply for a writ of Habeas Corpus,
requiring the aged,‘l.P. to produce the body of the
young Lady he had so decayed. The following cir-
cumstances have since transpired: About three weeks
ago, an anonymous letter, dated Edinburgh, and
bearing the Edinbargb post-mark, was received at
the Piiblic Office* Bow.street, stating, that if Mr.
Btionswould send to a certain house in the vicinity
of Clapham, he would " hear something of the young
Lady fion3 Chelsea, whore case had been mentioned
in.the.Newspapers." The worthy Magistrate, though
little: accustomed to pay any attention to anonymous
ccOniunicatiens, did iu this instance depart a little
frOns his usual practice, and dispatched Salmon, the
officer, .to. the house described. Here he found an
elderly woman and a young girl of fourteen, the lat-
ter being another victim of the aged M. P.'s amours.
The old woman, on learning from the officer the na-
ture of his errand, seemed perfectly informed of. the
whole matter, and told • him that the young Lady
had quitted the house of her " protector," and was
than on her passage' to London by one of the Leith
smacks. Salmon- was then directed to watch the ar-
rival-of the smacks, and after an anxious search of
some days, he learned that a young Lady answering
her description had landed from one of these vessels
in the River, and was to be found at a public-house
in the Strand, where passengers are in the habit of
seeking temporary accommodation. He proceeded
to the house and found the object of his search, and
upindkr girl, not more than fourteen years of age,
sitting in a room up stairs, with a personage styling
himself Captain M—, taking oysters and ale. Sal.
mon ar.nounced the nature of his errand, and desired
her to accompany him, but she refused, until he pro-
duced the writ of Haim Cops, and then she re-
lectantly went with him to her mother's house at
Chelsea. She came in the smack, it appears, alone
end unprotected, and on her arrival in London, was
copstreti to the cat of the aforesaid military 'bete.

or the buzzard kind, died last week, vifiich has been

• The Newspapers have been led into an error, in
stating that Mr. HINDLE, of Chancery•lane, had been
wounded by his own pistol, while preparing to protect
himself front some robbers, on Waterlog-bridge : the
person who met with the accident, was Mr. HOP-
WOOD, jun. of Chancery-lane, and who was but very
slightly injured.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—The Rescue Gang un-
derwent a thhd examination before Messrs. CONANT
and FARRANT, yesterday. The irons were taken off
all the prisoners but Walls, '
whose hardened conduct
in prison rendered it necessary to teep them on.—
Marsden, the jailer, was in attendance, with his
head tied up. lie would not take upon himself to
swear to any of the prisoners, as he was knocked
down instantaneously, and had no opportunity of
observation. The offence is no more than a misde-
meanour, and for which bail cannot be refused. The
prisoners were all remanded until they could find
bail for their appearance, giving_4B hours notice.

SOCRATES, by his .discourse on Marriage, se ens
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married
men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded;
and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word "wife" is the
most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the de-
sideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with happiess
on earth, but disposing the soul itself to hansionise with Wm

Previous, however, to entering into this haMoVred obligation*
it becomes an imperative ditty, not only to regulate the passion,
but to cleanse the grOsser nature from those impuritiel which
