FRAZIER.

This was an action against the Hundred of Msul-
ston, fur damage done to the Noble plaintiff's house iv
St. James's-square, upon several occasions pending the
praceedings against her Majesty the Queen.
Mr. Grassy stated toe case. The mischief had
been dune upon several days--to wit, upon the 6th
and 7th of June; and upon the 10th, lltb, and 13th
of November, 1820. Actions like the present, the
Learned Counsel said, became matters or public duty ;
for the true mode of preventing the outrages of mobs
was to convince them that their attack did no real
mischief to the individual against whom it might be
directed.

Richard Piggott stated that he was, at the time
specified inithe record, in the employ of the Marquess
of Londonderry. On the night of the 6th of June a
mob of about 150 or 200 persons—a shabby mob—
assembled before his master's house. They knocked
at the door and called for lights ; they then hrew
stones, and six panes of glass were broken. (►n the
7th of June, a mob of from 300 to 400 conducted
tbenwelyes in a similar manner.

Cross-examined.—Witness had Bow-street officers
in the house; and, upon the attack being made, they
sallied forth and dispersed the mob.
Charles Evans, porter to the Jlarques•, said that, on
the lqJth, 11th and 13th of November, a very nume-
rous mob assent bird before his master's house, knocking
at the door, breaking the windows, and using very
abusive language. Fifty-one panes of glass (some of
them plate glass) were broken. Witness could not
hive gone into the street without endangering his life.
John Smith was in the Marquess's house on the lith
of June: as soon as the mob commenced their attack,
witness sallied out with the servants, and the Bow-
st..ett officers, to disperse them.
Thomas Middleton was in the mob on the 10th of
November, in order, if possible, to mark and appre•
bend the assailant•. 'I he darkness of the night pre•
veitted him from distinguishing the particular persons
who threw stones.

Cross-exAmined.—Witness n as sent for to the house
of Lord Londonderry before the mob assembled. As
soon as they appearee he went among them, because he
apprehended mischief.
Michael O'Bryan, a glazier, proved the repairs per-
formed.

Mr. Thomson, for the hundred, offered no de-
fer cc.
The LORD CHIRP' JUSTICR told the Jury that the
case was proved. The amount of the claim was 291.
Xs. 6d.
A Juryman wished to know whether the Noble plain-
tiff c mid recover for his plate glace broken, or merely
the v due of an equal quantity of crown glass ?
Ibe Loan Cult', JUSTICE said that, whatever glass
a man might have in his house, if it was broken be
was entitled to be paid fur it.
Ihe Jury, who seemed determined to cut down the
Noble plaintiff, if possible, objected to the magnitude
of the panes.
The Loa o CHM JUSTICE observed, that a man was not
bound to keep small and inconvenient panes of glass
io his windows.
The Jury tl.en found a verdict for the plaintiff—da-
mages 2W. 2s. 6d.
After the verdict was delivered, the Jury said they
had vitoderstood that if a shopkeeper had a pane of plate
gimp broken, he could only recover as for crown
glue.
Ihe Lotto CHM JUSTICE said he knew nothing of
what was dose elsewhere. The law, in the case before
tko.,l,:ourt. was as he bad delivered it.

OLD BAILEY, Just 9.

SMUGGLING.

James West, Wilii;;Beere, William Richardson,
Thomas Richardson, William Williams, and John
Webster, were indicted for unlawfully and felenionAly
assembling, armed, with othrrs, on the 23d of April
last, at Hearn Bay, in the county of Kent, fur the
purpose of running uncastomed goods, and also for
feloniously shooting at one blr. Suow, a midshipman
of his Majesty's ship Severn, acting in the smuggling
preventive service, contrary to the b2d lien. 111., e.
143.5. 11.

This case excited very general interest, and occu•
pied the :inie of the Court from ten in the morning
until nine in the evening. 'Die prosecution was con-
ducted by the Attorney-Lieneral, Mr. Jervis, Mr. Rey-
nolds, anti Mr. Rolland. The defence was coaducted
by Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Dowling, for West and
Rem; by Mr. Alley and Mr. 13rodrick for the Rich-
ardsons ; and by Mr. Platt fur Webster and Williams.
The case against the prisoners depended principally
upon the evidence of three accomplices, named Grif-
fiths, Smith, and Holman. The substance of their tes-
timony was that on the night of the 23d of April last,
60 persons had assembled at Hearn Bly, for the purpose
of aiding and assisting in the landing of a large quautity
of uncustouted foreign brandy and gin. Twenty of time
party were armed with guns and pistols, with which
they had been previously provided at a place called
Grove Ferry. Time rest of the party were to take upon
themselves the office of unloading and carrying off, with
three carts, the cargo to be landed, whilst the armed
men divided themselves into two parties to cover the
landing. About three o'clock in the morning the laud-
ing was effected. Mr. Snow, the deceased, was going
his rounds to speak to his men, who were stationed on
duty, watching for smuggles. An alarm being given
from the boat, the armed smugglers commenced bring.
Mr. Snow snapped his pistols ; but they did nut go off.
'fhe firing then became very heavy, and the deceased
was wounded mortally in two places. Ile fell on the
beech. In the mean time the smugglers got off u ith
their booty. Next day Mr. Snow died. To corroborate
the evidence of the accomplices, several witnesses net.,
called to prove minute partmenlars, showing that the pri-
soners were together at Grove Ferry on the night pre-
ceding. In order to shake their testimony. it was proved
that tiriiiiths,the principal accomplice, hail, since his in-
formatiou(voluntary given), been in custody on a charge
of uttering forged notes; to4t he hail been steeply con-
cerned in other smugglimo• transactions; that he could
both read and write, altimostli he positively swore that
he could do neither ; that Ire hart bad repeated con-
ferences with the other two approvers', as to what they
should s y ; and that he was a man not to be believed
on his oath. tither circionstances were adduced to
affect the chara.!ter of Smltlm and Itsdn;an, tirm,ling to
shake their testimony. Unexceptionable characters for
humanity and honesty were given to all the prisoners
by a host of wilmesses ; and au aliq was set up for
Webster.

At seven o'clock the Jury retired for about half an
hour, and returnesl all the prisoners—Nut

Bow-srnErr.—Ersom ItacEs.—We stated. on Sa-
turday that a number of suspicious characters were
brought from Fps on Friday. On Saturday they
underwent an examination, when George Payne was
committed for trial at the ue-,t Surrey Sessions for
felony ; and others were remanded for further ex-
amination.

STAID: COACIIMas.—Won. Avrney, a Wiinbleton
stage coachman, was convicted in the penalty of W.
for carrying' au extra ont,ide passenger.
John Smith, a Richmond stage coachman, was con-
victed in the penalty of .50s. fur carrying two passen-
gers on the box.
LYNN, JCNE 7.—We are sorry to have to relate a
shorking instance of self-destrue!ion, which occurred
in this neialibourhood on Alondav evening last. A
3lr. iVhitesides, a traveller in the carpet line, after
showing decided symptoms of deraticement at the
Crown Inn, in this town, in several instances during
his stay thele, ordered his gig about six in the e, en-
ing, and drove to Middleton, a village about lone miles
from Lynn, where be alighted and retired down a lane,
and cut his throat with a razor in so dreadful a wan-
ner as nearly to sever his head from the body. We
understand he was about 40 years of age, a tine gen-
; tlemanly man in person, and bore a most respectable
character.

At seven o'clock on Saturday evening an inquisition
was taken at the Key, in Bell-street, Paddington,
before T. Stirling, Esq. Coroner, on the body of
Sarah Summit, whose remains were discovered in the
cellar of 11, Steven's-httildings, Bell-street, where
it is supposed she was murdered by her husband, on
the evening of the day after Christmas-day, and
where the body had lain from that time until last
Thursday evening-. The deceased lived a consider-
able time as cook in the family of Mr. Bratliwaite,
the engineer, near Westbourne-green, and James
Summit, her husband, was a servant in the same fa-
mily when they married; they wrtit to live at 14,
Steven's-Imildings, u licre they occupied the two par-
lours, and had a milk walk; they lived there three
yec.rs and a lia!f; his usage to her was extremely
cruel ; she hail been missing from the evening men-
' tinned until last Thursday evening. Mr. Brown, the
landlord, went flown into the cellar, which when rain
fell was usually flooded, in order to have a drain made
to carry off the water ; he happened to stumble over
a broken crock, and stepping to remove it, he laid
hold of a woman's kg, with a boot on ; he iiismeill•
ately gave the alarm, and the whole street was throw*
into the greatest agitation. A shell was brought
from the Mary-le-hone Infirmary, into which the hotly
was pet. She had all her clothes on ; a pitchfork
was found in the cellar with one prong broken off,
and there appeared a wound on the neck as if in-
flicted by some such instrument, and traces of blood
about the breast. Shortly after the disappearance of
the deceased, the husband quitted the house, and went
to live in Cato street, where he cohabited with another
woman, giving out that his wife hail eloped with
another Wall. Verdict of—Wilful Murder against
Jeans Summit, the husband.--The Coroner imam-
dietery issued his warrant, and the prisoner, whe sat
very unconcerned in *leprous's, was talten into cue,
wily, and conveyed. to•priolpirt ""4 •'" •

-.60.--

In/the month of August last, John Dehman, alias
Minoan, broke from the gaol of New Albany, Indiana.
where he was confined, with two others, on suspicion
of having murdered two men. The Detroit tlasette
of the 16th of March, contains a detailed account of
the apprehension of Delman, from wiach we select
the following :
One of the persons who escaped with Debman, accom-
panied him to near Man's Lick, Ky. having stolen a
horse shortly after their escape—*another, named Lin-
ticomb, a horse thief, was found dead a few days after
the escape—his body was mistaken for that of Delman,
and it was asserted in several newspapers that it was
supposed hail wandered to the spot, where he had died
through weakness and disease—the state in which the
body WAS found, greatly disfigured by birds, /cc. led
to the mistake, as it could not be recognised. Delman
made his way for Malden, where he arrived about the
10th of October, and was there employed as a distiller.
Soon after be wrote a letter to his wife at New Albany,
requrstiug her to join him. This letter. ritten in
the Cerinan langnage, was enclosed to a John Brindley,
who handed it to a schoolmaster to read. The latter
communicated ite contents to the officers of justice.
and the Sheriff went in pursuit of him. After much
difficulty, the Sheriff with his party took him by stra-
tagem. On seeing the Sheriff, Deliman, in the lan-
guage of one of the company, " wilted down," but
when they seized him in order to tie and carry him to
the canoe, he cried murder lustily, and his calls for
assistance could only be stopped by choaking him
He was tat:en to Detroit, and being well secured with
irons, was sent off to Indiana. He is five feet six or
Seven inches in height. and appears to he about twenty-
five years of age—his limbs are formed for sit ength
and activity ; and front the thickness of his wrist,
and from the peculiar pliability of the joints in his
hands, he can disencumlwr himself of a lair of hand-
cuffs with great ease. His mind appeared totally Jr-
prayed, and he tieelared " that he knew he would be
hung a hundred times if he had as many lives, if his
keepers succeeded in getting him to Indiana."
Delman gave the following statement to one of the
editors of the Detroit (Lizette:—

" tie was horn on the banks of the Rhine; his
rather was a distiiier. At the ti; e -I ten years he

joked the army lien. 31ure.:n. lin.l rem lined front

hat time in the trench service, until lln•i:t.►parte was
exiled to Elba, att••r which h•• enterea the Prussian
service, ausl remained its it until a short ti tie of er the
battle of Wisterina. After leaving. the Pt us%ian service

he proceeded to Amsterdam, front w.iieli place he
sailed in company it ith a number of German redemp-
tioners, and arrived at Anapolis, Ald. where his ser-
vices were-purrhamed by Urn. Fletcher, of Ky. who
also purchased a lie' man woman to whom I). wits
afterwards married—after the expiration of his service
he took his wife to Indiana, where he resided until his
escape."

An accident tiefri Lord Monson on Wednesday last
which has caused consider:Al, anxiety and alarm to the
noble family of Warwick. liis Lordship, who is about
t svelve years of age, has taking a morning ride, attend-
ed by his tutor, the Rev. :11r. Winter, when his pony
falling, threw him upon his head with much violence.
Ile was immediately taken to the I,4sslge on the Richelme -
road, near which place the accident happened, and it
was nut on Wednesday deemed safe to remove him to
Burton-Hall. Surgical assdstance was instantly pro-
cis red from Lincoln; but Mr. 11'i titer WRY nevertheless
immediately dispatched in a chaise and four to London,
for a Physician anti a Surgeon to attend his lordshia.

anti two o'clock on the mornins, of Thnrsday last a
number of smugglers arnpsd with duck-guns, &c. as-
sembled in Eastware Bay, Folkstone, for their illegal
purposes ; but being discovered by the officer of the
naval blockade stationed there, and the alarm being
fired, they wheeled round and discharged repeated
vollies upon the King's officers ; in consequence of
which Richard Wooldridge, quarter-master, was killed;
Isis body bring perforated in several places. Lieute-
nant David Peat was severely wounded, having been
shot in various parts of his body with musket and pis-
tol balls and bock-shot, eight of which have been ex-
tracted. We are happy to add, however, that hopes of
Isis recorery are entertained, notwithstanding the num
her and severity of his wounds. Robert Hunter and
John Walker, bolls petty officers, were also severely
wounded. A Coroner's inquest has been held upon
the body of Wooldridge, by the Mayor of Folkstone,
which, after several hours' deliberation brought in a
verdict of wilful murder against persons unknown.
The deceased was a man of brave and most exemplary
character, had lung served in the navy, and was
universally respected by his officers. It appears he
did not fire until his officer had fallen by his side; and
after haying fallen himself, was repeatedly fired on
while lying on the ground, as well as Lieutenant Peat,
by those ferocious men. The villains did not effect
the landing of a single package of goods.
A shark of the blue species was taken on Monday,
by one of the lichen fishing-boats, in the Southampton-
river. It is right feet fa length.
IMPORTANT DM OVERT FOR TOE CURE OP RCP-
TURES.—nr. Jenner's Improvement on Vaccination has
been succeeded by another of eqnal importance. The
discovery we allude to is, the peculiar Mode of Treat-
's:eta for the effectual Cure of IturTußEs, now prac-
tising with the most astonishing success at the Medical
Board, Charlotte (louse, Surrey under the immediate
inspection of the celebrated Dr. 'COOPER, and the most
experienced Surgeons of the day, all of nearly forty
years' practice.
The immense number of persons that fall victims to
a certain Disease, by being improperly treated, is incre-
dible. The latent seed orthe poison is too often suffer-
ed to lurk in the system, and frequently bursts out years
after; this is surely of great importance to those on the
eve of matrimony. It was those circumstance which
induced the learned Doctor to form a Medical Board, at
which Establishment upwards of 30,000 Patients have
been cetred—many of them after Hospitals had failed.
Messrs. COOPER and Co., are consulted at Charlotte
