CHARGE OF MURDER.

(FROM THE EXETER GAZETTE.)

We regret to have the task of recording another in
stance of murder, originating in circumstances, and fol
lowed by results, very similar to those which consigned
Philip Chapple and the unfortunate victim of his amours
to an early tomb not two years since, and at no great
distance from that dreadful scene, in the north part of
this county.
On Monday night (14thpost.)John Bright (alias Rad-
ford), of Drayford, was committed to the Devon County
Gaol, on the Coroner's warrant, charged with the wilful
murder of Sarah Downe, of East Worlington. It !ap-
pears that the prisoner is a farming servant, in his 24th
year;
,the deceased got her living chiefly by, field hus-
bandry, was about 30 years of age, and in intellect so
weak, as to be not far removed from idiotcy; she was
pregnant, it was supposed by the prisoner, and has two
children living by other persons. Report states that be
was engaged to the deceased; bat marriage does not
appear to have been his object, as he paid his addresses to
another person. On Friday night, on returning from
work at Horseford farm with her sister, about nine
o'clock, the deceased went into a cottage of a woman
where the prisoner happened to be drinking cider; she
was in the habit of calling thereon her way to and from
work; her sister walked on, and the deceased remained
there with the prisoner until half past ten, when they
With* house together, and went towards East Worliog-
ton, which is a short distance ; they were met on the
rood by a man, and the prison"r was then carrying her
basket. The next morning her sister went to work at
Horseford farm as Meal, supposing the deceased bad
stayed late with the prisoner, and mat she should bare
met her at work; the day passed, however, and on her
nom from irqrh, oltoexpected to Gad her at hose; bat

NINE Ilit4 CONVICTED.

The following is an extract of a letter from Cork, re-
ceived by this evening's Mail :
"Coal(, FRIDAY, HALF-PAST nia OteLOCK, P.
"1 have just witnessed a most affecting sight —nine
persons sentenced to execution in the County Court, for
burning the mills at Castletonn•roche. The men are of
the better description, and beard their fate without a
murmur. One of them, a most respectable looking man
(named Sullivan, I am informed), addressed the Court,
and requested, inasmuch as their characters had bees
heretofore good, it would grant them a long day, in or-
der that they might prepare themselves fur their dread-
fol fate.

" Judge BURTON, evidently overpowered, said he
should consider on it, and grant such time u the law
would allow under the circumstances.

" The prisoner said, thank you, my Lord, and bowed.
The sentence was most impressively delivered, and while
the Judge addressed the prisoners, some of them wept is
the dock."

" QUARTER PAST FITS O'CLOCK.—A troop of the
mounted police have now arrival to take them to charge
to the county gaol.
" No hopes of mercy have been bald out to them.
" The convicted prisoners are—the two Hennessy',
Sullivan, Leahy, Murphy, Sheehan, Magner, Flyo,
Finn.—The approver was Dunden, who swore to eleven
of them, Fouloo and Brien in addition to the others.
Charles Hennessy was the prosecutor who swore to five
of them. It was at Ballygoggin, in this country, they
burned two tnills, a house, and a stable."

An infamous woman has been committed to Galway
jail for perjury. She first charged a Catholic Clergyman,
on oath, of having committed a double offence of deep
criminality—and afterwards swore that she had falsely
accused him, baring been instigated to the wick.dness
by a police officer, named Waters.—(Carlow Moraiwg
Post.)

THE KING O. RETAN—..FALSE IMPRISONMENT.

Court of King's Bench, Against --Bevan, one of the
Justices of the Peace for this County, charging him with
daring, on the g9th August last, unlawfully and oppres-
sively committed one Probate to custody, sutheieot bail

trointnitted to a loathsome and. unwholesome dungeon,
where he seas detained for some time. Another count

and on the 3.1 September committed one John Bolton.
Mr. TstNros said, that the Jury having heard the no-
lure of this proceeding, he was quite sure they bad heard
enough to satisfy them it was one which demanded all the
attention they could give it, both with respect to the indi-
vidual, the object et prosecution, and to the Public, to
whom no one topic could be more interesting than the due
odutinistration of justice, and a proper execution of the
law. The defendant Bevan was a respectable person,
who bad lived for many years in the town of Kington, car-

KIRKHAM V. RICHARD STAFFORD COOK, AND OTHERS.
Mr. COMMA. moved fur a rule to sh .w cause why the
venue, in this cause, should not be ellen:red to some other
county, on the ground that the defendant could not have a
fair trial in the Coun,y of Stafford, a large proportion of
the property in dispute being in the hands of the Grand
Jury of 04 county, and a number of scandalous para.
graphs, against the defendants, having been Circulated all
over it.

Mr. Justice BEST said, there bad been many scandalous
statements on hod' sides.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY—That there have. I have a number
now lying on my table. Ido not say goat they really do
come from the claimant, but they purport so ta come.
Mr. CAMPBELL said that these circumstances made it
unfit that a Jury should be taken out of the county of
Stafford.

Chief Justice Aaaorr.—You may take a rule to show
cause.

with whom he exchanged the horse, who swore he believed
the prisoner had given the full value for it. As this was the
affidavit that was deficient o■ the former application, the

TUB KIN 4 V. HARTS, ANDCHANIAN.

The COMIION SIRGIANT, on behalf of the defendant
Chapman, moved for a rule to show cense why the verdict
of guilty should not be set aside, and a new trial bad. This
was an information filed by his Msjesty's Attorney (lonersl
for a libel on the King in the Sunday Times, and was tried
before the Lord Chief Justice, at Ouildhall, when the
Jury after a deliberation of five hours, and after coming
into Court with a question to the Judge, found the de.
&tiaras guilty, but accompanied their verdict by a recom-
mendation to mercy. lie now moved for a new trial, on
the ground that the Lord Chief Justice bad misdirected the
July in point of law.
The Loan CHIRP JUSTICE.--,—Do you mean in my
original charge, or in my answer to the question put by
the July: • '
The LOMMON SERGEANT replied, that he intended to
argue that there was unsafirertion on both occasions. In
his original charge, the Lord Chief Justice stated, that

that he was afflicted with mental derangement *as a
criminal act;" awl that in this cas.• the falsehood of the
assertion was admitted. Now the doctrine contained in
this opinion Was evial-ntly too broad; be, anse there were
many instances in whirls it might he a duty in one person
to communicate to ara,tner his belief that an individual

marry into a family where the disease was supposed to
exist; and even W the infSranant were mistaken in the fact,

SWEARING IN THE NEW LORD MAYOR.

Yesterday. this ceremony was performed in the Guild-
hall. on a platform erected for that purpose. Seats
covered will' crimson were formed in a square. There
was an inner row, with cushions, prepared for the Court of
Aldermen, the chief officers of the Corporation, and for
the I companies of the Livery; and at the head of the
square. in the centre, was placed the Chair of State. with
a table before it, and copies of the municipal oath. The
outer row of seats was tilled at an early hour. by an
assemblage of elegantly-tiro-owed females. and a crowd was
collected mend the platform to witness the ceremony. At
a little past twelve o'clock, a Court of Aldermen assembled
at the Mansion House, and partook of refreshments. The
Court, when formed, Car for a considerable time ; and, we
understand, a debate took plum hnt on what subject did
not transpire. At about half-past one o'clock, the Frame-
work limiters' Company, of the Livery to which the New
Lord Mayor belongs, entered the Platform in their state
robes. The company to which Alderman Ileygate belongs
were also in attendanre, to receive him on his giving up
the office. A short time after, the Cries, the Remembrancer,
the City Solicitors, and the other corporate officers, with
the Household, in their 'ohm entered, and Were followed
kr the Recorder, the Old Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor
Elect, and Aldermen Wood, l'ox, and several others; but
the attendance of Aldermen was very thin. The Lord
Mayor having taken his seat, the New Lord Mayne took
the o Ith, which was administered by the Town Cleat. The
oaths of allegiance and supremacy were also administered.
Alderman Hevgate then quitted the Chair, in which the
New Lord Mayor was invested amidst the applause of the
asserolded multitude. He then received the congratulations
sii• Alderman litigate and the other Aldermen present, who
most cordially shook hands with him, and were followed by
the Sheriffs, the Recorder, and all the corporate olficere.
The party then retired to partake of a grand dinner,
Red the two companies of the Livery, that to which the
New Lord Mayor belongs, and that over which Alderman
Heygate presides, gave grand dinners in celebration of
the occasion.

This is madness. It is really the insanity of the game-

them to sell those ',loads for what they can get for
them. Let them go to America ; they will there see
people, who kept bags of paper money, till a bag full
was not worth a copper farthing.—We are of opinion
that Spain is to be p d from the claws of the vul-
tures, only by such means as would preelvde the possi-
bility of these Bonds being paid. Had we any thing to
do in defendiug Spain, this would certainly be the case.

cracking their jokes about Anna and the Reverend
Doctor, Anna's Covertvre, have, we bare been told,
kicked and cuffed about at a sad rate. However, we
have no time, at present, to spare upon Anna; except
just to say. the Lord Stffield must make a pretty figure.
when lie finds; that lie has been frightened by this mise-
rably disgraceful trading concern, which, we are happy
to hear, 's sinking at a famons rate.—The New Times of
yesterday has hit upon the very nail that we hit on,
when writing the evening before ; the imputing (by the
Old Times) to Mr. lifocata having been ruined "by
following his own judgment." Oh, no! says the New
Times, "it was by following your advice." Nothing
was ever truer than this! This vile old trading paper
has done more mischief to the holders of Spanish Bonds
than ever individual did to any portion of mankind.—

DEATH BY SUFFOCATION.

Last night an Inquisition was taken before Mr. Higgs, the
Coroner for Westminster, at the Blackmore's Head, in Whit-
comb Street, Haymarket, on the body of Mr. John Stringer,
uho met his death in the undermentioned manner :

- __.....
The deceased had resided In the above street for SO years,
and carried on the tailoring business. Some short time since
he was attacked, and dreadfully bitten by a large rat, taken
by him in the King's Theatre ; the effects of which confined
him to his room till he was reduced to a very weak state. The
deceased was rather addicted to drinking ardent spirits; and on
**sight preceding his death, on leaving this house, where he
bad been spending the evening, he was rather the worse for
liquor, and Mr. Pryer, the landlord, accompanied him to his
door, as he had done at other times, and having seen him safe
to Me destination, left him in the passage. Nothing more was
Me or beard of him till 0 o'clock next morning, when he was
feud lying dead at the foot of the stairs, with his heels ele-
/med, and his head bent under his breast.—lt is therefore sup-
t=dthat in bjs going up stairs to bed, ha must have over-
himsef and fallen to the bottom.
A surgeon proved that there ware no outward injuries that
Voildproduce his death, which in all probability was caused

The Jury consulted for some moments, and returned a ver-

From a private letter from from Paris, dated on Mon.
day : a honentable circumstance occurred here last week in
an English family. A gentleman, nearly related to two
Members of the British Parliament, invited to his house
a soldier of the Swiss Guards. The latter in consequence of
something that occurred, took a knife and wonnded him
dreadfully towards the groin : the gentletuAo fell, bathed
in his blood. The Marquess of --, who has recently
returned to Paris from a tour with his Lady in Germany,
and who is said to be related to the unhappy wan, was
instantly sent fur."
Acoordiug to the official Returns of the Votes for the
office of Governor of Pennsylvania' for which there has
been a strong contest, there were 56,775 for Mr. Gregg,
and 75,432 for Mr. Sliti:ze —the total of votes, 132,•20;.
This enormous number of votes has been taken withont any
tumult, and, as far as appears from the papers, without any
suspicion of unfairness.—Shulze, the Governor Elect, is, it
appears, of the democratic party. A Mr. Maclean, who has
just died at Boston, has bequeathed 100S/00 dollars to the

On Thursday se'nnight, between three and font o'clock

• Till PORTSMOUTH CAA.
bk.'HeALD said, in the above case, in appliration lied
been made for the taxation and payment of the costs and
expenses of the-Soit, and Commission. He bad been in
formed out of Court of it, and it was considered that one
`order-would be sufficient.
The history of the case was as follotis : when the peti
tion was presented by the Conrt, by Mr. Newton Fri.
!owes, it was opposed by Lord Portsmouth,svho was then
represented by a gentleman. whom he slid sot know, and
in fact, had never seen. When the case Was brotight
forward sod the Commission ordered, it became an im-
portant question who should rtrpresent Lord Portsmouth,
and the- Court decided, that the gentleman who had be
fore eorniticted the proceedings, should continue to do so,
as he *catibt be In possession of the facts better than a
stranger; and Mr. France was also directed to go on.
The Lord' Chancellor said, if•it was meant to ask him
for nothing maw than the recoverable an-I fair expenses,
he bail ne objection to allowing them; but if it was meant
to ask for the whole amount, he should• certainly not
grant the praVer, shift theta Were eircomstauces placed on
the record of the Court, this be could not consider ooght
to appear there, and for this reason he should certainly
not allow that part of them.
Mr. HEALD said, be wished to arprize his Lord•iiipi
that the family of Lady Portsmouth had not any thing
at all to do with the defence before ihe.Commission and
Jury. It was conducted by Mr. France, who refused
any interference, mod if his Lordship lied been led
to believe othi.rwise, it was a mistake. His Lordship, how-
ever,had attended to theAlfidsvits,and therefore he begged
leave to intimate to hie- Lordship that he would take
care that that part of the expenses relative to the Affida-
vits should not be introduced, after which, proliably, his
Lordship would he of opinion that one order would be
sufficient to comprize. the whole care, as all parties con-
sented. •
The Lord CHANCELLOR said, he. bad no oliection to
that being done, and directed an order accordingly.
In the matter of Bowen and others, V. Bushell and
others, which appeared in the STATESMAN of Saturday
last, the Lord Chancellor intimated that be could not
grant the issues, but said be would • finally dispose of
the case on Tuesday next.
