Wish regard also to the amount of damages, he had
to observe, that no evidence had been offered to prove
the defendant's ability to pay heavy damages. He
might, for aught the Jury knew, not be worth a
siugle shilling. That he lived in high rank and fa.
shiohable life, was no ground for concluding that he
was rich; it rather furnished, indeed, an inference
the other way. It was true, he was the son and heir
of the Marquis of Headfort ; but whatever might be
Isis expectations, they were.not likely to be bettered
by a transaction of this nature. What he would
chiefly press was, that the present was not a ease at-
tended by circumstances which called for the very
highest damages. Midst the scenes Of fashionable
life, a young man like the defendant Was often sur-
rounded by temptations which it was difAcult to re-
sist, and for yielding to which some allowance should
be made► He meant not to insinuate that such was
the case with regard to the plaintiff's wife, but to as-
sure the Jury that the defendant was ready to make
every atonement whiih the offended laws of his coun-
try might award, and that he felt a regret which
world not cease tot the remainder of his life.

The UNDIMSLIZRIVI recapitulated the evidence,
and the Jury assessed the damages at Tat Thowand
Tomah.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 29.
MANDAMUS.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL, on a former day, ob.
tained a Rule to chew cause why a Mandamus should
not be directed to the Governors and Trustees of a ,
Borough Free School. directing them to restore the!
master of that school (who had been suspended) to I
his situation.—The school was under the direction of
the Corporation, of which the master was a member,
having formerly served the office of Mayor ; he had
for years been at the head of the school, and suppor-
ted a respectable character. A short time since, as a
mark of approbation of his conduct, he had been per-
mitted to extend his school, and he took his niece, a
young woman who had borne an unexceptionable cha-
racter, into his family. She had since, however, be-
come pregnant, and had an illegitimate child. After
this circumstance became known, he was surprised
one morning, on attending the Corporation, at being
asked—a Are you guilty ' He received no expla-
nation, and soon after was more surprised to learn,
that, without any previous notice, he had been suspen-
ded from his situation.—The Court made the Rule
for a Mandamus absolute.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 29.
N. A. CLARK gr. •••••••••.

This was an action of Replevin, in which the eel,.
braced Mrs. Mary Ann Clark was the plaintiff. It
appeared that the Lady had pleaded her Coverture
as a plea in bar, and the question had been reserved
for the opinion of the Court. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN
was heard on the part of the plaintiff on a former day.
• Mr. Serjeant PELL was now heard on behalf of the
defendant, and contended that on no ground could
:the present plaintiff maintain her action. The rent
for which the distress was made became due on the
9th ii May. On the 12th the distress was made.—.
The plaintiff now, by her plea said—" You have'
seized my goods, sad I replevy." In reply to this
the defendant says—" I have a right to seize your
goods, since you are indebted to me. for rent." The
plaintiff rejelns—" You bare no right to seize my
r=e; I *have a husband living"—and there, the
d Reticent observed, the matter stood ;—but
he now contended, that under these circumstances,
unless the plaintiff proved her husband since dead,
the was not the person who could bring the present
action s and, °Alba Wier band, if sby proved him

c

dead, tier pii*. of Comm= woo* be done away.,
Another strung ci,cumstance alriutxisted against the
plaintiff's recovering, even allotting her the binettof
both her pleas.
The Court took time to consider its judgment.
MURDER.—Friday !turf Peru was brought up for anal examination, to Lambeth-street Office, upon
the charges of having cut the throat of John moody,
and murdered Benjamin Twig, in Catherineb•lsoe,rm
the 18th of June.—The prisoner, upon being asked
what he had to say in his defence, chewed indde,
rence to the result of the examination, and said that
be was drunk on the night of the murder, and did net
know whether he committed it or not. He also said
that he had been hardly dealt with.—The Magistrate
committed him on both charges.
QUEEN-SQUAEL--Saturday the case of Thomas.
Hybard, groom to the Prince Regent, came on be.
fore MT. PLESTOW, the Magistrate, on an information
'laid by the Kensington turnpike man, for refasintan
pay the toll when passing on one of the Primal
horses.—Thomas Parker, Esq. Clerk of Accounts to
his Royal Highness, said, the groom had mut
through ignorance.—The Magistrate said be hid
looked into the Act, and was aware that the Nam
servants, or those of any other Royal Personage, nett
obliged to pay toll, unless they were accompanied be
their masters. He hoped Ibis statement would
made public, and he had no doubt but the Royshet
vants would not attempt to evade the tolls artiL,
He would allow the present information to be am
drawn, upon the expenses being paid.—The groom
accordingly paid the expenses, and was discharged.
