MILK PUNCH ROYAL

MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER
MAJESTY.
•

THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century-, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND THE AIETROPO S.
It was at the former place where the on prof or of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt th corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good , and marked
their approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY
by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that
the present generation have nothint, to do; suffice it to say,
that this
is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
Lon vivant: of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.

It ;Tub be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, end, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness sf the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne;
and while

THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE GENTLER SEX
may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
• has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,
but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of
PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
. .

take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,

improver by arse.
LE GRAND GOURMAND

will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.
" Come and try,
• Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

SEDUCTION.-AINSCOU Gil V

-TUESDAY.
. ASHCROFT

The plaintiff, Thomas Ainscough, is farm-bailiff to Mr.
Scarisbrick, of Scarisbrick-hall, and he brought the present
action to recover compensation in damages for the loss of the
service of Jane Ainscough, his daughter, who had been se-
duced by the defendant. The defendant, who was a neigh-
bouring farmer, had access to the plaintiff's house, as there
was some relationship between the families, his brother hav-
ing married the plaintiff's sister. On one of these visits he
took advantage of the plaintiff's daughter, and the result was
that on the 25th May, 1839, a child was born.
Mr. Cresswell and Mr. Cowling were for the plaintiff.
Mr. ALEXANDER, for the defendant, contended that the
case was not one that should have been brought before a jury,
but have been taken before a magistrate, and an order in bas-
tardy applied for.
The JUDGE, in directing the Jury told them that this
course could not have been taken. _

The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £4O,

DOE DEM. ROGERS AND ANOTHER V. ADCOCK.'

This was an undefended action to recover possession of
certain premises in Charles-street and Oxford-street, Chorl-
ton-upon-Medloclr, Manchester, let to the defendant as a
weekly tenant. The jury returned a verdict for the defen-
dant.

THE MYRTLE

BY JAMES MONTGOMERY,

Dark green, and gemm'd with flowers of snow,
With close, uncrowded branches spread,
Nor proudly high, nor meanly low,
A. graceful myrtle raised its head.

'd, in my contemplative mood,

nt joy, a patient grief,
rmbol of pure quietude

Still life, methought, is thine, fair tree !
Then pluck'd a sprig; and, while I mused,
With idle hands unconsciously
The delicate small foliage bruised.
Odours, by my rude touch set free,

Escaped froin out their secret cells ;
Quick life is thine," I cried, " fair tree !
In thee a soul of fragrance dwells.

CROWN COURT.-YESTERDAY

William Seddon, aged 26, was charged with having at
Westhoughton, assaulted Sarah Bellard with intent to com-
mit a rape. The grand jury threw out that portion of the
bill that constituted the capital offence. Mr. Brandt and
Mr. Cardwell were for the prosecution, and Mr. "Wilkins for
the defence. Females were ordered out of court.

The prosecutor, a good-looking young woman, was on her
way—on foot—from Manchester to Wigan, when she met
the prisoner and another man near Westhoughton. They
entered into conversation, and the prosecutrix was finally in-
dikced to accompany them, for the purpose of procuring lodg-
ings with their assistance. They called at a public-house,
but did not obtain lodgings, and the prisoner then said that
she might sleep with his sister, and they accordingly went on
together. The prisoner took her through several fields, and
at a particular spot committed the alleged assault.
The details of the case are altogether unfit for publication.
The prosecutrix and her mother being examined, the pris-
oner was found not guilty.
William Dickson, 26, and who, it is stated in the calendar,
can read and write imperfectly, stood indicted with having
feloniously and carnally known and abused Elizabeth Platt,
and Ellen Barton. The case was one which, like the pre-
ceding one, it would be improper to particularise.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended him
to mercy.

The prosecutrixes were both girls of tender years.
Adam Bamford, a young man• whose name is not in the
calendar, was indicted on a charge of assaulting Alice Fitton,
with intent, &c. in the township of Crompton. The prose-
cutrix was an interesting young woman, of 18 years of age.
The parties had been to a fair, and had called together at
five or six public houses, and the girl admitted that at one of
them she sat a short time on the prisoner's knee. The pro-
secution was conducted by Mr. Brandt ; the prisoner's de-
fence by Mr. Wilkins. After the prosecutrix had been
cross-examined for some time, his lordship expressed his
opinion► that the evidence was too slight to support the charge.
Mr. Brandt stated that he had no stronger testimony to
offer, and the jury, under direction, found the prisoner not
guilty.

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS

eIPRIESTLEY', CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs
• particularly to call the attention of his Friends and the
Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly cele-
brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the SEID-
LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than anything yet
discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The
style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is pe-
culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac-
curacy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with
the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the nae-
dicinal.properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s.
each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex-
portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time
in all climates. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIEST-
LEY, No. 52, Lord-street. where also may be had Seidlitz

IMPROVED SODA POWDERS

It has been observed that the Soda Water, when kept in
jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis-
tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ;
and that, from these inconveniences, its use has been con-
fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate
these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and
efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered
to the public.—Sold in Boxes, .at is. 6d. each
