TUCKER V. CRACKNELL.

.
This was an action by the plaintiff, a tallow-chand-
ler in South Molton-street, to recover from the de-
fendant £l2. 4d. being the value of a parcel of can-
dles sent by him to Lord Petre,.at Thorndon Hall.
The defendant was a common carrier. The house-!
keeper of Lord Petri stated, that she ordered the

- A

candles, which were to be sent to Lord Petre's seat,'
at Buckenham, in Norfolk; but they were to be for-
warded first to Thorndon Hall. Witness had a bar-
rel of porter sent by the same conveyance, which
reached Thorndon Hall safe, but she never heard of
the candles. She was housekeeper at Buckenham,
and was not at Thorndon Hall till some months after
the time the candles ought to have arrived there: they
never came to Buckenham.
The porter of the plaintiff proved the delivery of
the goods at the defendant's waggon office, at the
Blue Boar, in Aldgate.
Mr. MARRYATT, for the defendant, stated, that the
plaintiff had not proved that the goods never were
delivered. It only appeared that the housekeeper,
who was not at Thorndon Hall for some months after
the transaction, bad never heard of sZteir arrival there.
He had also another objection: in every count in the
declaration, it was stated, 'that the defendant under-
took to carry the goods from the Blue Boar, White-
chapel, in the county of Middlesex, to Thorndon
Hall, in the county of Essex. This description was
incorrect: the Blue Boar was in Aldgate, in the city
of London, and not in the county of Middlesex, as
stated in the record. •
IVIr. Justice ABBOTT held this to be a fatal objec-
tion, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. -
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 13.
MANNERS V. G. COLLINS AND OTHERS.,

This was an action upon the Statute for a trespass
under the Game Laws, against the above defendant
and three others—namely, H. Wilkins, J. Seers, and
G. Alderson.

The plaintiff is Lord of the Manor of Sunbury, on
which Port-lane Farm is situate, in the occupation of
G. Collins; and on the 13th of November last, the
defendants were met by the plaintiff's game leeper,
crossing a field with a brace of greyhounds and spa-
niels, the property of Collins. The gantekeeper, on
cross-examination, did not see any game started or
run, but averred that the defendants were in the act
of coursing.
This was the trespass complained of, to which was
added a charge of breaking down the plaintiff's pal-
ings; and the question now agitated was, whether all
or any of these defendants were qualified, under the
Statute, to hunt or course with dogs for the purpose
of killing game, subject to a penalty of £5 in failure
of such qualification ?
It appeared in evidence for the defendants, that
Collins was the owner of the dogs, for which be took
out a certificate, and that his property consisted of a
small farm, his own freehold, and other premises, pro-
ducing an annual rent of near £2OO. This was admit-
ted to be a due qualification on the part of Collins;
but it was strongly-urge,' by Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN,
for the plaintiff, that the other three defendants, not
having shewn any qualification on their part, were
liable to a penalty of £5 each.
Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUET, for the defendants, main;
tained, under a decision of Lord Ellenhorough, in
the King v. Taylor, a cause tried at the Stafford As-
sizes, before Mr. Justice Lawrence, in which the point
WAS reserved, namely, whether a groom accompany-
ing his master, not being a qualified person, was suhr
ject to the penalty under the Statute ? Lord: Ellen-
borough held, that if the dogs belonged to the quali-
fied person, who was himself using or hunting with
them, this not being a solitary amusement, he had a
right to be accompanied by his servants or other un-
qualified persons to assist, join in, and even partake
of the pursuit, provided the dogs did not belung to
such unqualified persons.
Mr. Justice PARK entirely concurred in the reason-
ing of Lord Ellenborough, as laid down in that case,
as being the principle of law which must govern the
present case.
The Jury accordingly gave their verdict for the
defendants generally.

SHERIFFS COURT, BEDFORD—ROW, JUNE 13.
GLOVER to. TILE DRURY—LAKE THEATRE.
This case, in consequence of the decision of the
Court of King's Bench, setting aside the verdict pre-
viously given of one farthing damages, came on again
this day for a new assessment of the damages; but as
the Deputy Sheriff was about to proceed, the Attor-
nies on each side held a conference, and at. length
agreed not to press the question upon the Jury. The
measure of damages, it was agreed should be com-
promised ; but if the matter was not amicably arran-
ged, the case was again to come before the Court.
HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES, JUNE 13,
DUNN V. DUNN.
This was a case of appeal from the decision of the
Judge of the Arches Court. It was in a suit of divorce
between W. Dunn, Esq. and Eliza his wife, on the
ground of adultery, alleged to have been committed
by her with W. M. Clay, Esq. in October, 181€3.
The plaintitf and Mr. Clay were Captains in the
9th Light Dragoons, and were on terms of the closest
intimacy. Mr. Duna had a house on Ham Common,
and here Captain Clay was a constant visitor. During
these visits a criminal connection was rormed between
him and Mrs. Dunn, and the latter at length eloped
with him to St. Omer's, in France, where they as-
sumed the name of Brown. To this place they were
traced, and Mrs. Papps, the mother of the Lady,
having gone there, prevailed upon her to return to
her husband. Captain Dunn, who had waited at
Dover, received his wife, who upon landing jumped
from the boat, and ran to his armt on the beach.
They walked arm in arm to the Ship Inn, followed
by Mrs. Papps, and a Major Grant, who, however,
knew net whether she pleaded her guilt and implored
forgiveness, or whether she asserted her innocence.
Upon arriving at the inn, however, Captain Dunn
said, " I am quite satisfied with what Eliza has told
me ; it has made me quite harpy, and therefore I'll
ask no more questions." Mrs. Papps did not, in
consequence, interfere ; and the only fact in her state-
ment, from which adultery could be inferred, was
her having heard Captain Clay express a strong de-
sire that Mr. Dunn would procure a divorce, as he
would marry her. Prom Dover, Mrs. Dann returned
to Ham Common with her husband, and there re-
sumed her parental care of three small children, con-
tinuing to live for some days in conjugal felicity. A
fortnight only, however, had elapsed, when she again
eloped, and joined Captain Clay. Captain Dunn pur-
sued her, but in vain. At length,however, the fugi-
tive and her seducer were traced to Palace-yard,
' Barnett, Lincoln, and other places, at each of which
they assumed false names. During this time Mrs.
Dunn wrote several letters to persons at home, and
particularly to the nur4e of her infant child. In these
Ifetters she betrayed great agitation of mind. She

likewise wrote to her husband, and evinced the
deepest despair, on account a her conduct. But her
letter also was couched in terms of the most frantic
affection, and implored her husband to take her home,
to live in his company, and to see her children on
any terms, however humiliating. In these produc-
tions, she denounced Captain Clay, as a " monster of
hell." One of these letters was addressed from the
Bell Inn, Holborn, where she lodged upon her arrival
from Lincoln ; but it also turned- out, that the same
post brought a letter to Captain Clay, and he slept
on the very night with her, passing as her husband.
Mr. Justice AaaOrr went through the merits of
the case, and after adverting to the verdict of da-
mages by a Jury, and recapitulating the chief cirs
cumstarices in the proceedings in the inferior Court,
observed that the allegations now pleaded, on this
appeal, contained certain facts, which went to stew
the quo aninto of the husband, that he did feel, and
was greatly distressed, and even distracted at the
calamity in question. That not believing the act of
adultery to have taken place upon the first elope-
ment, and confiding in the protestations of his wife's
innocence, who at the period had been but a fort-
night delivered of her youngest child, he was induced
to receive her back. lie was moreover urged to this,
by a consideration for the happiness of his infant fa-
mily, who would otherwise have been deprived of
maternal care, by the desertion of their mother.
The Court, upon hearing all the facts of this in-
teresting case, with a detail of the miseries and afflic-
tions which had been caused by the seduction of an
accomplished woman, whose conduct had blasted the
happiness of her husband, and exposed her infant and
helpless progeny to shame and disgrace ; and consi-
dering that all had been effected by the vile treachery
of a pretended friend, to whom the woman had lent
herself, now reversed the sentence of the Arche:
Court ; and unanimously pronounced for the divorce.

UN:fox-HA tt.—Saturday 28 persons, male and
-female, were brought before the Magistrates upon
the following charge :—Collingbourn stated, that
himself and brother officers were employed to attend
at Vauxhall during the amusements at that place,
,for the purpose of preserving peace and preventing
the entrance of persons of notorious bad character.
This duty they found almost impossible to perform
from the conduct of a numerous and daring gang of
thieves, and a herd of common prostitutes, who not
only violated every feeling of decency by their im-
modest language, but made the most determined at-
tempts to pick the pockets of the company, and im-
pudently. endeavoured to force themselves into the
gardens. The prisoners formed only a part of the
gang by which they were annoyed ; but if an exam-
ple was made. of them, a hope might be entertained
that their comrades and female companions would
r either change their quarters, or become less daring in
their proceedings. The statement was corroborated
by the evidence of Glennon, Clark, and Hall, the
officers ; and the Magistrate, Mr. Serjeant SELLON,
committed the female prisoners to the !louse of Cor-
rection to hal d labour for 14 days, and the men to the
Sessions, as reputed thieves.

ACCIDENT.—Mr. BLAY:E, Master of a Seminary, at
Hallwood, near Buncorn, Cheshire, with h 1 assistants,
accompanied his pupils, a few days since, to the
banks of the river Mersey, where it was intended
they should bathe ; it being the place where Mr. B.
had been in the habit of taking his boys. It would
appear, that since the last Spring tides, a flat had
drifted to the spot, and formed a precipice of about
four feet. One of the boys, soon after he had gone into
the rivers slipped into the vacuum beyond his depth,
and three of his school-fellows, in attempting to
rescue him, were placed in the same situation. Mr.
Blake (who cannot swim) instantly plunged in,
though he was nut undressed, and used every exer-
tion to save them, but without effect. A boat arrived
at the spot a few minutes after the four boys had
sunk, when a buy named Woodall, an excellent
swimmer, used every measdre to save his unhappy
companions, but his efforts proved unavailing.—The
bodies were found soon after, and the best means
were used to produce resuscitation ; but the vital
spark had fled. The following are the names of the
sufferers :—T. Eardley, aged 15 ; J. Schofield, l: ;
P. Jackson, . 11 ; all boarders ; and T. Nixon, 15,
day scholar.

RIOT AT TAMWORTH.—Sir ROBERT PEEL having
announced the intention of his son, WILLIANI
Esq. to offer himself conjointly with Sir ROBERT,
at the approaching General Election, Lord TowN-
sitexu, one of the present Members, arrived in the
borough, and the canvass a both parties has pro-
ceeded with great briskness. On Monday last both
parties gave public dinners to their friends. The
head-quarters of the parties were at the King's Arms
(Sir ROBERTS Inn), and the Castle (Lord Tows;
sue >: o's), which Inns are exactly opposite each other.
After dinner, in the course of the evening, the rival
candidates paraded the town in procession, with ap-
propriate flags, &c. The procession meeting (as the
matter is stated to us), the bearer of one of the Peet.
flags waved it slantingly over the heads of the rival
party ; the flag was instantly torn to atoms; the
procession passed on—but the " thumb had been
bitten," as SIIAKSPEARE says. Arrived at the Inns,
WILLIAM PEEL, Esq. appeared at the window, and,
we believe, addressed the freemen below. He had
a walking stick in his hand, which the TOWN-
SIIEND boys say was shaken, as in menace (a thing
perhaps nut very likely, but the thought was enough).
Instantly to it the rival boys went; and scores were
in a moment rolling ; the pavement was torn up,
and the siege began on both of the garrisons; win-
dows, shutters, (tames, &c. all disappeared as by the
wand of an Harlequin, till scarce a stick or pane
was visible. The job was completed of both houses
in a few minutes. A cart load of large paving-
stones were collected from the rooms of each inn,
many of which came rolling down the staircases like
thunder. On the part of the TOWNSIIEND boys the
war was 'instantly carried to the house of EnstuND
PEEL, Esq. across the road which passes the corner
of the street at right angles. This residence in-
stantly shared the fate of the Inns, and the family
were obliged to fly. The damage done must be very
considerable ; but we have heard of no estimate that
can be relied on. The town has been quiet ever
since. We are sorry to hear that one man has been
so severely hurt that his life is despaired of; another
had his leg broken ; and various others arc seriously
injured.—Lit Veld Mercury.
