CROWN SI 1)K.

✓oAa &moors was indicted on the Coroner's !aqui-
%kiwi. for feloniously kiliing and slaying Jane Mar-
-1 gan, oil the 15th of April la,t, in the pati-ls of St.
Thomas, in the Borough of Southwark.
The primmer was the driver of a Chathatn stage
roach, and about eight o'clock in the evening of the
day mentioned in the indictment, it being dark, he
was driving at the rate aright miles an hour, through
the Borough, when the deceased, a woman far gone in
prernancy, was crossing the road, and before she was
aware of her danger, sloe was knocked down by the
leader, when the wheels of the carriage went over her
body, broke her ribs, ruptured her abdomen, and
produced prenisaure parturition. She was taken up
in a lifeless state, and carried to St. T1101112,1'6 Hos-
pital, where she died the next day, her infant surviving
her two days. '1 he prisoner when spoken to upon his
misconduct, behaved with great insolence, and in the
most unfeeling manner.
The Jury immediately found him guilty, and the
Cruse Jvas ace, alluding to the hat too frequent careless-
ness of persons in his situation of life, expressed a hop*
that this melancholy catastrophe would be a warning
to others against a brutal indifference to the safety of
their fellow-creatures, and taking into consideration
the circumstance that he had been already confined for
sixteen weeks, sentenced him to be fu'rther imprisoned
in the county gaol for foul calendar months.
At a late hour this evening the Assizes finished.

LEICESTER ASSIZES.

Joust r: WORMLEIIMITICS.—This was an action to
recover the sem of 4211. due to the plaintiff for medi-
cine supplied to Thomas Worusleighton deceased, a
small farmer of Lutterworth. It appeared from the
evidence of several of the plaintiff's assistants, as well
as of several matrons who had attended upon the
deceased, that Wormleighton, who was advanced in
pars, was for the 3 or 4 last years most Sorely aMicted
with a complication of diseases, and tl.at, in order to
obtain selief, he had been in the habit of taking from
6to It draughts per day, making a total of 5;7214
bottles, which were charged to bim.at Is. 3d. each.
Besides these he had also been supplied with large
quantities of liniment. and •of many boluses. It
was no uncommon thing to send the deceased 9 or
10 in a day ; with pills, powders, Ike. in proportion.
Added to the charges for medicine, there were items
for bleeding, besides inoculating for the cow-pux. To
chew that the tins charged, and the medicine sup-
plied, enormous as they might appear. were fair and
reasonable, the plaintiffcalled several most respectable
gentlemen of the faculty.
11r. Kerr, of Northampton, said he had looked over
the bill, and thought all the charges reasonable. lie
had been acquainted with Mr. Jones more than ten
years, and, from what he had known of Ms practice,
be thought him a judicious practitioner, and a man of
skill and judgasoat.
Dr. Freer, 15. D. Mr. Needham, Mr. Paget, Mr.
Davenport. and Mr. Morpot, surgeons, also bore tes-
timony to the charge. being reasonable.
The Jury retired at b minutes past 4, and returned
with their verdict at 5 o'clock—Damages MC

Justice-east', Unildhall, pusterdep,aad baring waited

seated itself. addressed the Loot Mayer i
bottom of the table. He said be had a serials
plaint to make against some of the City Police Olken,
and then thtew himself into an attitude which raised
very high the public attention.
The LaNDMAToIt asked him in a tone which proved
that he was not disposed to hear a speech, the nature
of the complaint, and upon what evidence it was to be
sustained.
Waddington then handed over a placard to the Lord
Mavor,and begged his Lordship would read it previous-
ly to hearing the charge.
'1 he placard contained a statement that the Dele-
gates from the Mechanies of London, appointed to
wait epos her most tiraeions Majesty the Queen of
England, had, in consequence of the lamented death
of the Duchess of York, postponed the time of wait-
ing upon her Majesty with astir Address, which had
been carried unaili.• tingly at tioswell-street.
Waddington said, It wonld be peen that there web
nothiug in violation of the public peace in that pha
card, and that consequently the persom who held II
conk' nut lie jusly charged nith an offence of that
dew-ripe .
Ike I.oao MAYOR said, hr haul seen the placard be.
fore, and was aware of its contents. The words were
certainly by' no means offensive, nor were they calcu-
lated to excite any turbulent feeiings amongst the
people ; hut still the coLdnct of the person who exhi-
bited them, and his character, might cause, under any
circumstances, a disposition to tlisordi:.
Waddington then said, that he had, for the purpose
of preventing ant- thing like disorder taken a Weill
with that placard upon it to Iltdborn-bars, and held
it up that all might see what was written thereupon.'
ilis object was favonrable to the uublie peace; but
notwithstanding that, the peace officers, as they were
called, had set their fares against his endeavour, and
ordered him to take down the placard. Not thinking
it reasonable to do so, be refused, and the officers, per.
titularly Itrinkwater and Matthews, rushed upon him.
and having torn his coat and stripped him of the post.
ponemeut, bore him away by force to the watchhouer
of St. Andrew's, from whirl; place it was their inten-
tion to bring him oll' to another, called the Comore.
A humane gentleman. however, interposed, and they
thought proper to let him go. 7.utler thr•-e circum-
stances, be trusted, the Lord Mayor would see justice
done : fur it was well known to hundreds that the ai•
cred tiodsless, with the balance and s..ales, bad WWI
violate(' in his person.

The Loath Idsvoa imstediately asked, whether the'
two officers then charged were iu attendance ":
The answer was in the nertlite.
The LORD MATOR then stated, that :Prom the account
he had heard, he had every retool, to suppose that his
present applicant bad been doing, at the time of the
interference of the officers, an act in breech of the
public peace. If that was the rave, the officers were
certainly fully justi.fied in using their efforts to pea,
veal any tetfortunate compliances which were likely!
to arise from the folly or insanity of any individual.
Mr. Worthier, the Marshal, amid, that War Winglike
had ass.•n,bled round him a very large collection of the
lower orders, and was, as it were, the very point rotted
which pickpockets and thieves of a more formidable
description would rally with the greatest possibility St
sit . The crowds were increasing every monseato
and the niters woulditave subjected themselves to a
charge of neglect of duty, if they bad not requeNted
Mr. Waddington to put down his standard ; when they
did so, they were insulted most grossly. '1 hey, how-
ever, persevered, and took the placard and pole from
the bearer hr force ; but in the effort endangered their
lives. Mr. Waddington then went to the watch-house,
and, without reason, called himself a prisoner there.
The interference of the gentleman alluded to had been
the subject of surprise and censure amongst the parish
officers of St. Andrew's, who, he understood, intended
to bring a charge a•-alost him before the lord Mayor:
with that gentleman neither the witness nor his of-
ficers had interfered.
The Loan MAYOR said, he had apprehended the
case being such as the Marshal stated it to Le, and
asked whether Waddington had any witnesses to prove
that he had been ill-treated?

Waddington said. there were 20 or 30 respectable
men ready to come forward to prove the fart that be
had been illegally dragged about and deprived of his
placard. one *etc, however, to be seen.
he Loan MAYOR said, that any City Magistrate
would willingly inquire into the circumstances, but
that inquiry might involve the applicant in a disa-
greeable manner. The officers had no doubt acted
properly; but if Mr. Waddington continued to be dis-
satisfied with them, he might go before some other
Magistrate with the story of his disaster.
Waddingnsn then bowed, and quitted the room.
Otit.onst.t..—An additional decision upon a point
in the Pawnbrokers' Act, of cousith•rable importance
to the trade, and epos which much difference of *pi-
Idea has been expressed, occurred at this other on
Tuesday ; Sir Jssirs Snaw• being the Sitting Ma-
gistrate.
A person of the name of James Joy had obtained a
summons against Messrs. H. and W. (}ray, pawn-
brokers, in Fleet-street, to skew cause why they re-
fused to deliver up a watch unlawfully obtained frost
him, and pledged at their shop without his knowledge
Of • ensent.

The complainant stated, that lie left Isis *etch at
home for safety on the sth of June, while be went to
gee some felons hanged, and on his return the watch
bad been taken away and was nowhere to be' foetid.
A duplicate for the watch was discovered some time
after in a bag, thought to belong to a woman who
lodged in the house, named Ts itchett ; but the pro-
perty had not been seen i■ her possession, nor could
the pawnbrokers swear to her as the person
.wko
pledged- Joy bad subsequently seen the watch at
Messrs. bray's upon paying the interest due, and
both at that time and before the Alderman stated such
particulars respecting it, as to leare to doubt that the
property was bi- ; the only question therefore was,
Iwhether the Magistrate was•atithorised under tiro Act

in diced! the restoration of the property to die
pbinant ?
Reference was had to an opinion of Me. Lilo.,
the Barrister, who had been applied to Ewer der
circumstances. in the case of certain body lines withi

owner, and the Learned lieutlemaa had gives 6,

order them to be given up, although no peosetetio,
had taken place, and upon this opinion the proper!,
was so given up at this °Mee, and the sane has Intl

application to the Magistrates at Bow-street, to din"
the restoration of a considerable quantity of the Rots
plate, found in the possession of different patew
bookers, the Atturney.tieneral, and the Common See.
joint, Mr. Knowles, bad given their *lies shat ttie
words of the Act " statasefielly obtained," dap .11

lawful moms short of a felony, and tar tlie
felony being clear in this case, the parties ate
no claim to ihe restoration of the property otheeeiv
than order the Statute 21 Henry VIII. cap, it ehki
allows the restoration of stolen property to newsmen
thereof only niter the prosecution and conviction et-
the felon.

Mr. Denman, on the part of the applicants, hi,
however, succeeded in convincing the Magistrate that
the authority under the Act was petemptory aril cow

up. An action is still pending to try• the lambse is
a superior Court.
Sir James Shaw obrerved, that from the best em.
sideration 1w could give to the subject, and the hen
judgment he could forms upon the Act of Parliament,
hr was of opinion, that the words of the Statute were
clear, and fully authorised the Magistrate to direst
the restoration of the property, and directed that the
watch should be given up accordingly.
The person attending on behalf of Meson. that,
consider it an eitresuely hard case, but as theasesset
of the pledge was ugly 12s. he did not think it worth
while to contest the decision, and the watch was Jr
livered up to the complainant.
