COURT OF MErfludiENCH, Atom V.
Tile sum AL./MUM MAMA:CD, po, ,
The pehiedint was (evind!guilty at thbl *gigot,
ef

Ilasitheli.gardens, ow the Sth July •test. he facts
havoalreadysbeee Infos. atbe Public. The report hay.
jog been read, several affidavits were then put'in an
the part of tbe.Defendast. The first was • from Dr.
Barlow, once the. Prebendaries of Canterbory,.aud
Principal of St. John's College, Oxford, from which
it appeared that the Defendant, while a student there,
had conducted himself with incleatry and regularity;
he bad since.becoote. a Fellow, ,and . had taken the
degree of Bachelor of ,Civil low- The affidavit of
tr. Brattleys.e.speciat pleader,
,stated, that the De.
alent was bite pupil,, sod a student of Gray's Inn ;
be bad always conducted himself most decorously and
peaceable while under the deponent. The third
eifidavit was of the Defendant himself, io which
11 it was asserted thht he first received a push
trout Lord Valletert, without the slightest pro.
4ocation, while the deponent was walking with a
lady—that he returned it, and that Lord 'Valle-
tort then made a blow at him, which he parried,
end returned upon his Lordship's eye, having receiv-
efl the first provocation. The ellidavit denied any
thelibetato intention to Insult his Lordship, but sm.
tad that the assault was the consequence of sudden
apd hasty impulse. .When Lord Valletort asked
(pr the deponent's card, he had given it with his ad-
dress; but his Lordship afterasecds thought it better
to send two constables to arrest the deponent, while
be was enjoying himself petiseeehlvie the gardens
with some friends. The two Nest effoissits were from
a Mr. Mills and a Mr. Seeley, giving the defendant
an irreproachable character for sobriety, regularity,
end amiable disposition. Those were followed by
the affidavit of the Rev. Thomas Cherry, Master of
Merchant-teitors' school, under whom the Defendant
had been educated, and went from thence to St. John's
College, on being elected to a.Schularship.
I Alter a speech from Mr. NOLAN, in mitigation of
I punishment, and from Mr. Guess:lc, on the other
side—
Mr, Justice BATLIT, in passing sentence, observ.
ed, that it was a painful part of his duty to inflict any
punishment upon a gentleman of such good repota-
tieti,. and who had selected .for his career so honour-
able a profession. The Defendant, in his cooler mo-
ments, must himself be aware that his conduct to.
wards the Prosecutor had been unjustifiable, even ac-
cording to his own representation of the affair, which
differed considerably from what had been sworn on
the other side. This discrepancy night arise from ,
the warmth excited in the minds of the parties, which
prevented them from viewing all the circumstances in
their true content. It was to he Lamented that the
present proceeding had not been rendered unnecessary
by a timely explanation : the assask was while, and
it was necessary for the Court to visit the offence
with punishment, for the sake d the Ample ; at
the •ume time, it was desirous that the sentence
should, as little as possible, interfere with the De-
fendant's prospects and .pursuits. No securities for
future good behaviour would be required, because
Ora unimpeached character the defendant bad borne
up to this moment was a sufficient pledge theft he
would not again offend. The judgment was, thilt be
should pay a flue of 501. and be imprisoned until the
fuse was.psid.
The, Defendant immediately paid the fiue.aand was
discharged..
RIOT AT BRIGHTON.
Jame: Bentsen, Jesse Donce, Geodmin, and
-- Kuth, were brought up to receive sentence for an
assault and riot at Brighton ; the assault was committed
in consequence of some evidence given by Redmore, a
revenue-olficer, et the Town-hall, against Bennett.
Tie mob was very unruly, and consisted of nearly
1000 persons: they pelted Redmore with rotten
Wit, mea, 110• nearly from one end of the town to
the other, and much injured him : some of the De-
Irendints declared that they would murder him: the
tegitive took shelter itt several houses, into which
the ringleaders of the crowd broke, and dragged him
lout by the hair of his head.
'The Report of the trial before Mr. Baron Wood,
at Horsham, having been read, the Defendants put
in some affidavits and other papers, extenuating their
conduct upon this occasion.
To a question from Lord Et.t.ranottouce, Mr.
Serjeant Osstow, for the prosecution, said, that
itedmore was not even yet recovered in consequence
Of the violence offered to him, and that the danger-
ois state of his health had prevented his examine.
ties at the Assizes.
Th. Criatiaoir SVAJZANT addressed the Court fort
Broettond Mr. Serjettat ONstow observed, that is
Was extremely fortunate that the Defendants now
stood upon the fluor, and had not been tried for'
murder.; arid it was not clear that the offence of
wbicjt they had. been found guilty was not capital.
Bennett had been particularly active, as Itedwore
had informed against him fur keeping a private shop
'for the sale of spirits.
Tbe Court sentenced Bennett to be imprisoned in
Horsham jail for two years, Donee and Goodwin
to be imprisoned for one year, and Ruth to be im-
prisoned for eight months, each finding security for
his good behaviour.

mently entreated mercy in consideration of his wife

The Insolvent, Capt. Kingston, was opposed .for
of .hairio4 inserted in his schedule an estate, his wife's
jewels,
&c.
The Insolvent is nephew to the Biebnp of St.
David's. Ile stated that be bad an estate, called
,INisisoinio, at Rickmansworth, io • Hertfordshire ; the
ii 0414 we.. in the possession
,of the Bishop of St.
basil's, who was one of the trustees. Ile had only
itt life.interest in the estate. It was the gift of fib
Pother, on his marriage with his wife, on whom the
estate was settled. Ile had a carriage about two
years ago ; his wife had at that time jewels, laces, &c.
*Well were not mentioned in his schedule. Her sp.
pore% was not mentioned .in his schedule. The reason
Why he did not insert them was, because they did not
belong to him, but were her own property. The
jewels were settled on her before her marriage; be
had not purchased her 501. worth of jewels end laces
since their marriage. The jewels were then in the
possession of the Marchiooess of Winchester, his
wife's sister, and could be produced. The carriage
his wife then had was purchased with money given to
her by his father at her Marriage. • He bad not men.
tioned the carriage in bis schedule for the same res.
sons that he bad not mentioned the jewels.
Mr. Serjeant RUNNINGTONe— Let the insolvent
amend, and come up on the sth of May, Adjourned
to the sth May.—The debts of thee/111)4in amounted
to 12,1981. 84.
The Rev. R. Whitehead, Rector of Appleby, was
opposed on various grounds. It appeared tie bad
been in prison 15 months, and during that time had
expended 6931. which Mr. ANDREWS contended, was
a wilful exrenditure of hts creditors' money by re-
maining in prison. Tits Court ever-ruled the objec-
tion, and he was discharged.
