VICE CILOICELLOR'S COURT.

bON JUAN. soltD EritoN e, DUODALC.
In our lest paper, we stated that this case stood over,
aeil that the injunction was, in the mean t'me, continued.
On Saturday the ease was stain heard, when his Honour
dissolved the injunction, leaving the noble author of Dos
J etas. first to his common-law remedy, by an action against
Duettele, and afterwards, should it appear that a court of
common law had sustained Lord Hyran's claims to repara-
tion by giving damages, the application for an injunction
might he snecessfully renewed. The Court would in the
mean time direct that Mr.Dugdale should keep a particular
account of the sale.
COUVRO THEATRE—GLASS CURTAIN.
ST. JOHN V. CILOaSOP AND ANZINSTA
In th?a cause an injunction had been obtained by the
plaintiff, lien. St. John, an annuity creditor oa the theatre,
to restrain the defendants, one of whom is the proprietor.
and the other the trustee of another annuity creditor, from
disposing of the celebrated glass curtain.
Mr..lVe w ertzt-n showed eanse against the injunction.—
] n the month of February, IS2I, the theatre, with all its
scenery, machinery, and *de..orations, were mortgaged to
General St. John. to secure the vayment of an annuity of
5001. a year: and in the year 1322, another annuity of Alf.
a year was granted to a person of the name of Jickson, on
the same security; and in the month of February last the
management of the theatre was assigned over to the defend.
ant, Arkenstall, who was a trustee to the annuity deed to
Jackson -; and who, in the course of management, and, for
tl-e advantage of the theatre, found it necessary to remove
the glass curtain, which, however, was not in the theatre
when this annuity was granted to Veneral St. John, not
being brought iti till the month of November, that year.
Mr. Lev Arr. in snpport of the injunction, said that not
only the theatre, but all its decorations, were included in
the seeur:ty granted to Orem! St. John. The glass cur-
. tain was one of its most valuable decorations, having cost
2,0001.; and if that were to he taken away, by what rule was
any part of the property to be preserved?
The Vice-Cif ANCELLOR said,when the annuity was pant-
ed to Gen. St.-John, and the management retained by the
proprietor, it was evidently intended- that he 'should have
the power to change the scenery, dresses, and decorations,
as the taste of the public or pieces represented at the Thea-
tre might require : and it would be sufficient to jus ify the
removal of the Iglus curtain, to show that it was done in a
prudent ronrse of inallairennent.
Mr. WAN MIMI: said it was in evidence that an arcbitett
had reported. that if the cnrain were continued in the state
it wits a week longer, it would endanger the lives both of
the actors and audience, as the machinery by which it was
supeorted was eorn out.
The Viee-CitaNCEbboß said, altisonich Oeneral St. John
tail a security on the 'scenery and decorations of the Theatre,
yet it was obvious they moat be the subject of great change.
The Court wonlil not permit any destructiun of the pro-
perty that formed the plaintiff's security, but that alteration
to it• which was necessary for the purpose of prudent ma.
ragement must be allowed ; end as it appeared that the re-
moval of the certain was done in a course of prudent ma-
ratgeteriit, the injunction nivat.be dissolved.

woman in such a state in his life.
Mr. Mamie, in addressing the Jury on the part of the

could go to her own house, where she knew she had not a

The Magistrates, knoiving that he was able to pay the
prosecutrix a compensation in money, recommended her to
settle the matter is that way, which she at Mist refused to
do, saying she did not come there for the purpose of receiv-
ing mosey; but, after a further recommendation, she con-
sented leaving it to the bench to fix the sum. They there-
fore thought be should pay her 101., and sign a comet to
the Magistrates for the liberation of her husband forth-

matter; otherwise they would have felt it their duty to

POLICE.

~~

Row-wr.=Saturcley, G. Mimi-4 *as charged with having
robbed Mr. W. Mattocks, of Wellington-street, Strand, of his
pocket-book, containing bills of exchange amounting to Up=
wards of 2091. The prisoner Was apprehended on Thursday
night under the following circumstances:—Lack, ono of the
patrol belonging to this °Mee, went into the pit passage at
the English Opera House, in search of some persons who had
robbed an old countryman of forty .sovereigns t and whilst
looking about for the parties, he observed the prisoner Ed=
wards pushing about among the crowd at the pay-place. do
searching him he found a red morocco pooket-book concealed
in tne crown of his hat, and Lack asked him what It contained,
to which the prisoner replied, 'Look and see.' Lack opened
it, and finding in it a number of bills of exchange. of which
the prisoner lied evidently no knowledge. he lodged him lu
Covent-garden watch-house, on suspicion of his having stolen
it. On the following morning (Friday) he was brotight before
the Magistrate. when he said the pocket-book was given to
its, and be diet not know what it contained. Under these Cir.
eamatanees he was committed to prison until the owner of the
property could be found.
On Saturday he was again brought up. when Mr. Mattocks,
a respestable tradesman in Wellington-street, cline forward
and claimed the book and its Contents as his property. It ap-
peared by the evidence of Mr. Mattocks that he took his sou
and daughter to the English Opera on Thursday night, intend-
ing to go into the pit. Ile previously put all the money out
of his pockets except ten shillings, with which to pay for
their admission, and the book now produced lie placed iti an
inside pocket, not doubting but it would be perfectly safe. lie
was mistaken, however, for before he could get up to the pay
plaice, he missed his pocket book, and, upon examination, lie
found that the skirt of his cost had been lifted up, sod the bot
tom of the inside pocket cut canpietely open. Nor was this
all ; for, on putting his hand into his breeches pocket, he found
It empty—his 10s. were gone, as well as his pocket-book ; and
he and hie family were obliged to return home for want of
fends to gain admission to the Theatre. Ile perfectly recol-
lected having been rudely pushed against by some man with-
out any apparent motive, and he was firmly couvinced the pri-
, wiser wee that man.
Saunders, another of the patrol, volunteered to give the prl.
looser *character, and pronounced him to be the leader of the
.Rose and Crown gong in ilunhill-row.
Prisoner; in return, told Saunders he was a scoundrel; and
having nothing further to say, he was fully committed to New-
gate for trial.
• BURGLART AT LAMBETH PALACE.—UNION MALL."Mr.
ALLEN, the magistrate of this oifice, proceeded on Saturday
morning in person, accompanied by Mr. Staples, the clerk,
and Ulannon and till, the officers, to investigate more mi-
nutely the circumstances attending the robbery in Lambeth
Palace. The course of the robbers was distinctly traced,
and the various acts of destructibn which they had commit.
ted in their pursuit of plunder carefully examined. All led
to the conclusion—first, that the parties engaged ware in-
ticiatel!.• acquainted with the premises; and next, that their
object was the attainment of a large and valuable booty, fur
all trilling articles of ornament and utility were treated with
indifference, and lay strewed about the floors as not worth
notice. Mrs. Sutton, to whom notice of the. occurrence
had been sent to her house at Iladtfington, arrived at the
Palace, on Friday afternoon, and after a careful review of
the property, was of opinion that nothing had been remos-
ed of any great value ; indeed, it was supposed
that site loss, independent of the injury done to the
various depositories which the thieves had forced and
destroyed, did not exceed five ponads. It is a singular
but . fortunate circumstanca that the only two presses
which contained any thing of importance, at least in
the estimate of such persons as were engaged in the
robbery, escaped attack. tine of these contained a quantity
of rich old family plate, and the other the dress worn by
the Arelibishop•of Canterbury at the late Coronation of
his Majesty, as well as, several Court dreaes belonging to
the female branches of the. family. The dress of the Arch-
bishop was very expensively decorated, although possess-
ing, perhaps, more, of imaginary than intrinsic value.—
Nothing transpired in the course of the intiuiry which af-
forded the slightest Clue to the Offenders; but it ii andel-
paled that the vigilance and experience of the officers will
ultimately lead to detection. Mrs. Sutton retooled ,• to
•
Haddington on Friday evening. •
Several enquiries have been made at the Palace by per-
sons of tank, and the neighbourhood still continues in a
state of agitation.
• MARLBOROUGH STREET. SATURDAY.—A young female.
with bore the appearance of having once moved in a respect-
able sphere, but possessing all the appearances of consuasp-
•tion, nag charged with being disorderly, by a watchman.
The charge was merely of the common kind, and from
humane considerations the watchman withdrew it.
Mr. DYER (the Magistrate,) asked tiM poor creature to
give some account of herself.
She with tears sheathing down her face, and with an ut-
terance choked with emotion said, she was of a highly re-
spectable family in Hampshire, and was named Llolid,
she had unfortunately once erred and had lust
her character, and—Here she burst into an agony of
grief, and s. as unable to complete the sentence ; but on he-
log more colupoised, she seemed in her imagination to hur-
ry over some horrible recollection, and proceeded directiv
to the charge against her, " tie Ft inlay night" said she,
" I met a friend, whom I had not seen for some time, and
being extremely weak front the extreme of illness, I diank
three glasses of wine and a Ideas of brandy, which took
sue I an :effect on me that it led me into some excesses."
The MAGISTRATE—YOH should have guarded against
Etch intemperance—where did you sleep on Thursday?
Here -again the female seemed overtrhelmed pith
emotion, anti she could only ariieutate Hag g ask me,"
At length rwo.N. the Chief Officer; went to her, and shit. with
cons als:ve sobs, acknowledged to hI that she had Voatelltted'

' The poor woman is a melancholy tone replied none bat

lowed by my contused conflaemeet is solitary dungeons, sod
View not what to do.
The Magistrate regretted her deplorable condition, more
particularly as she getented aeately to feel hersltuation, he did
not know what to do with her.
She evidently misunderstanding what be said, exclaimed
in an agony of grief :—" Oh do not send me there again, 1
would either die than endure so touch horrible confinement
again."
The Magistrate explained that he was not going to send her
there, and on discharging bert advised her to return to her
friends. She replied if her strength would gamble her so
to do, she would, and retired from the office; some humane
individuals gave her some money.
An old miserable looking woman, named Rebecca Devi*.
was broughti from Bt. 011es's valet-boast, charged with hav-
ing some valuable trinkets and silver spooas. valued twenty
guineas, in bee possession, the property of Messrs, Jule,
Manuel, and Son. Bevis Maths, jewellers. It appeared the
old woman. on Friday night, was observed by several per-
sons offering handsome steal bracelets and a massive gold
lady's chain for sale, at terms extremely moderate, so meets
so, as indeed to excite suspicion ; the gold chain, weighing
three ounces, she offered to dispose of for as many shillings ;
and a silver tea spoon was offered for one shilling and six-
vitt At length she was observed by Green and Bartlett,
s, who watched her movements, and, perceived bur
enter a pawnbroker's shop, where, on offenng several or-
tides, she was detained, and then given into custody; and
on being asked to account for the possession of such va-
luable articles. she gave a number of confused and We*
hermit statements. 0 bring searched. a bag was found
under her arm containing some got I brooches, six silver
spoons, several steel clasps, and other ladies' ornaments,
all fastened to cords, by which it was discovered the pro-
perty belonged to Messrs. Manuel, and who were applied
to; consequently Mr. Manuel, jun. attended, and said, their
porter was daily sent out with a bag full of a variety of jew-
ellery and plate to their respective customers. Unions-
needy, about four o'clock on Friday afternoon, he lost, in
Drury Lane, a small bag containing spoons, gold chains,
and seals, clasps, hrooche., and other trinkets, altogether
valued at 20 or JO guineas, and the old woman had, it
seems, unfortunately found the parcel, and proceeded di-
rectly to sell the articles, without taking the trouble of en-
quiring to whom they belonged. the old Dame ac-
knowledged to be true, but refused to say where she had
sold some part of the property. She was remanded.
LalusitTli STREl7.—Saturday, Elisabeth Britton, a
girl, apparently not more than 16, was put to the bar,
before M. Wyerr, E.q. the Sitting Magistrate, -charged
by a Mr. Clarke, on suspicion of having robbed him of
1101. ander the following circumstances: *
'l'he prosecutor, a carpenter, in Devunaliire Street, Mile
End (Nil Town, deposed that on Friday evening last, about
six o'clock, he and his wife left home to go to Bow ; the
prisoner; who was his servant, was left in the care of the
how, and was cautioned not to go out on any account
They came home about eight o'clock,
until they ridurned.
when one of the ground floor windows was found partly
open; the prisoner was out at the time, but just came up as
witness was opening the door, anal accounted for her absence
in saying she had been to Mrs. Batley's, in Ann Street, to
fetch a clean cap. Suspecting from the agitation she be-
trayed that something was lie instantly proceeded up
stairs. and on entering- his bed room, discovered that ache,'
in which he usually kept his money wis broke open, and
lie missed one hundred sovereigns anal a 101. Bask of
England note ; there were seven sovereigns which were
rolled op in 7 piece of paper in a corner of the chest kit
behind. It was very evident that the cheat was broken
open by means of a plou2lt iron, au iron poker, and a roll.
' ing pin. The two latter instruments were found near ,1
the cheat, ;ma a part of the former was found broken in
the lid.
Mrs. Clarke, on leaving home, wished the prisoner won Id
accompany her to carry the child, to whim' she at first
consented ; but again -declined, and seemed pal titularly
desirous of staying at home, which she was unfortunately
allowed to do. _ _ _ _ _ _

' Christian, the constable who took the prisoner into
custody, was of opinion that the robbery was not commit-
ted by any experienced thief.
The prisoner denied all knowledge of tha robbery, and
said that previous to her going out she opened the win-
dow a little, that she might get in at it again, as her mas-
ter had taken away the key of the door, and left her lock-
ed up.—She was remanded.

EXECUTION OF IVALDONALLAN FORDROWNING
• • HiS WIFE.

•
Win. Donallan was executed at Maidstone. on Friday.
pursuant to his sentence, for the wilful murder of Bridge•
Donallan, his wife, at Chatham, in the year ISIS, by drown-
ing her in a well. During the short interval between con_
viction and execution, the wretched culprit betook himself
to earnest prayer and repentance. Being of the Roman
Catholic persuasion, a priest of that religion very humanely
attended him in his devotions. At his trial, and even after
the verdict,the wretched man solemnly declared that he was
innocent of the murder; but on returning to prison his tone
and manner became altered, though nothing escaped him
indicating a disposition to confess the atrocious crime. At
eleven o'clock the melancholy procession left the gaol ter
the place of execution on Pennenden Heath, where it ar-
rived in about half an hour. The culprit was accompanied
in the waggon by the Catholic clergyman and the gaol
assistants. In his passage to the Heath he employed him•
self in earnest applications to Heaven for mercy, and his
prayers were distinctly audible. On arriving at the drop
be remained a considerable time in devotion. Up to this
moment he bad made no confession, and it was supposed
that he would leave the world with protestations of inno-
cence; but on ascending the scalTold,he addressed the crowd
for several niinutea, io a distinct and firm voice, declaring,
-the justice of his aertence, and the tsteritki punishment-
which awaited his crime. So heartily resigned was he to
his fate, and so little inclined to life, that if even at that
awful moment his sentence were remitted, he would reject
a boon, which would only prolong the miseries of his guilty
conscience. The dreadful crime for which he was to suffer;
was committed io a moment of passion, and without any
premeditation, but he was no less sensible of the justice of
his fate. He heartily forgave his prosecutors, but declared
that one of the female witnesses who appeared against bins
had not adhered to the truth in her testimony. Finally, he
urged the spectators to take warning from his -dreadful ex-
ample, which was the consequence of giving way to passion,
and *total disregard of religious admonitions. .As soon as
he had conclude a short prayer, the platform gave way and
he was launched into eternity. After hanging the usual
time, the body was taken down, and delivered over to the
surgeons to be dissected and anatomised. During the aw-
fid ceremony, it was raining incessantly, and, in consequence
of the unfavourable state of the wegther, there was a very
inconsiderable attendance of spectators, but of these the wo-
men formed a large proportion.

bilal'EST.—On Saturday 'ilea an Inquest was held at
the Duke of Portland's house, No, 11, St. James's square,
before Air. Higgs, coroner, on the body of Joseph Atkinson,
valet to Lord U. Ilentinek, who on Friday morning was
found dead iu his bed by the serving of Lord Ititchtield, who
went to call him up. The deceased bad been previously
lea good state of health, and bad kern a most excellent
character. Ile was about 22 years• of age, a single man,
and much respected in the family : there were no marks of
violence on the body. The jury returned a verdict of t►a•
rural death. •

CUICRESTER CORN MARKIT.—The Cora Inspector's
Return, this week, was as follows :—Wheat,s9l.; Barley,
37.. per quarter.
Arundel Cattle market, on Twirler, was but moderately
supplied with stock ; nor were the buyers so numerous as
on the preceding market day; the stock is general was ra-
ther cheaper—lamb, 3s. MI. to 4s. • wetber mutton, 31.6 d.
to 4s ; ewe mutton, 3s. 4d. to 3a. 61; beef, 3s. 6d. to 45.;

Chichester Beast market, iss Wedaeolar, exhibited a
supply which could scarcely be exceeded by say is the
kingdom. Notwithstanding, however, its attendance, the
finest stock inaintaiued last market's prices, but inferior
mutton was rather lower ;—pigs are also numerous, and
cheaper. Wheat fetched from 131. to 141. per load.
NORWICII. Aug. 9.—We had a good show of Scotch
Beasts, with some Devon' and Short Horns on Saturday,
but sales were slow, and trade on the whole dull. Sheep
and Lambs have undergone no variation in price with is
for some weeks; and the Pig and Horse markets hardly
bear quoting.
YARMOUTH, Aug. 7.—We had a large supply of Wheat
again on Saturday, which met dull sales at a redaction of
full 2s. per quarter. tkits are scarce and dearer, say front
b. to 3a. per quarter. In the other grain no alteration.
LYNN. Aug. t.—We had a fall attendance of farmers at

Beans nearly as last no:ed. New Rapeseed 241. to 231 per
last. Flouos. per sack 10w..r.
Our first wool fair was held in the Market agnate, on
Satord ty last. On account of the wet %rattier, and the un-
certainty of the attendance of many buyers, which is mostly
the case the first day of establishing new fairs, the grow-
ers of wool did nut like to bring in toe hulk, and front
being unactpainted with what kind of samples would be
satisfactory to the buyers, butt very few came prepared to
sell. About 60 persons assembled( at the ordinary at the
Peacock Inn; after dinner many lots of wool were sold at
the fallowing prices per tool : —Tegs, Ms. 61. ;
half Teg and, half ewe, Ws. 61 ; other lots,—
chiefly ewe and wether fleeces, 265. It was anauinsonsly
settled, that the fair should be held annually on the lust
Saturday in July; sod another year. as recommended by
the buyers, the growers of wool should bring to the fair, a,

ESCAPE FROM PRlSoN.—Sarah Lomb, the Gipsy, who was
last week committed by Mr. Alderman Wood for steeling
lace from the shop of Mr. Jones, haberdasher and linen-
draper, High-street, in the Borough, and whoie adroitness
in evading the officers' inquiries was noticed in all the pa-
pers, but whose retreat, in a lane between Norwood and
Peckham, was discovered ,by stratagem, and lace to the
amount of' MI. recovered, gave on Friday night, a specimen
of her quality in the Botough Uompter;by forcing her way
through the roof of the cell she was confined in, and effect-
ing her escape by letting herself down the outer wall by.
the water-spout.
ACCIDENT AT EIGLINGSGATE.—rAfter all, it appears that
the accident at Billingsgate, was fatal. to, at least, one un-
fortnnate person. On Saturday morning, about eight
o'clock, the body of a sufferer was observed floating in the
Thames, near Alderman Parsons' Stairs, Lower .East
Smithfield, lay a waterman, who immediately rowed out and
brought it on shore, in a high state of discoloration ; after
wltlelt it was conveyed to tae l)nndee Arms, Nightingale.
lane, Lower East Smithfield, and was soon after recognized
by his relatives. He appears to he about twenty-four years
of age, named Johu Bushnell, and was in the employ of a
potato-merchant in Fleet-market. In his watch fob was.
found Ss. 6d. and a key. During the oyster season the de-
