At 12 o'clock the gad of Essex, in company with Lord
illendiP,aml two other Magistrates of the County, and one
of the noble. Earl's servants, came to the prison. The ob
kit of the noble &sells visit was described as being curious.
—Some time ago' be 'reileived an anonymous letter in Lon-
dou, kern. a person (supposed to he a lady), solicited an
interview, in a parotrilar part of the town, where he was
desired tote In attendance In his coscb. The Earl of Essex
supposing the intimation to be a hoax, instead of obeying
the message himself, sent his footman in the coach, when
instead of finding a f-mate as was surmised, two men came
elf, looked into the vehicle; and went away, not finding the
owner of the carriage. Some idea was entertained that
this (mix had a morciorfons object, and that the parties
who were supposed to bate played it off, were connected
milli rhurtell and his companions. On the oonle Ear!
cntning the little yard in whCch Thertell was.walking, the
prisoner received him with sullin astonishment. The parties
looked•st him, and one of the Magistrates touched his hat,
as a common mark of politeness. Tburtell returned the
civility, and the patties retired. It is understood tins the
fontmlin declared .him not to be one of the men who had
looked into the carriage- The nuble Earl did not visit the
otfier prisoners, but immediately depleted from the prison.
Wr:Fenton afterwards again visited Martell and remained
with him fur some time.
Tee nigh Sheriff (ft. Sutton, Esq.) visited the gaol in the
course of the day, and expressed a wish that the prisoners
shoed have every necessary accommodation ; and it is re'
ported that both Probert and Hunt, although not provided with
funds, areto have whatever is essential to their comfort, !sates.
. of the ordinary gaol allowance. li Is also said, that the Rev.
Mr. Lloyd has undertaken that the expenses of Root's defence
shall be defrayed by himself, if no other person can be
found to furnish the weans.
baring the week and in the course of the day, several of
tie Magistrates hive visited the gaol, notwithstanding the
ton'asof the order to which so much allusion has been made.
it is now believed the trial will actually come on at the ap-
proaching Assizes. The bill of indictment will be submitted
to the Grand Jury on the Grat day, and if it be found a true
bill, the trial, unless postponed by the Court, will commence
next- meriting.
The demand for accommodation in the town Is beyond all
firmer precedent. The sum of five guineas for a bed room
and sitting room for three days, bas been offered and refused.
'COURT OF KINU'S IIgNCH, WUTYINSTIR, Nov. 2?.
--.40.P--

. •
Till KING V. aNTUONV COLLINS.
Sc.taturr resumed his argument, adjourned from
Wednesday, on the important question raisedin this ease—
whether overseers are justified in affording relief to the able
bodied poor in money ? He took a view of the statutes
which Lad passed subsequently to the aet of Elizabeth, and
coriteoded that they all showed tile design of the Legisla-
ture. to be, ih'at the only relief to be dispensed to the
poor wham, able to. work should be by the provision of
JaSinir.
Mr. Esau followed on the same side.
Mr. Coorse;in reply, observed that the case did not
'state flint the overseers bad not attempted to obtain work
for the paupers previously to affording them relief ; and
that if any doubt existed as to the fact, the case should be
seut back to the sessions. It cool,' not be insisted that the
overseers were bouod to find productive labour.
Mr. Justice cannot call that labour totally
utlftroductive which prevents a man able to work from being
adie.
Mr. Justice BATLIIT.—In the parish where. I live, an
overseer found a hundred applications a day for relief I. be
set the applicants to pound oyster shells, and soon
tidied their number.
'the Loup Cuter Juirricz suggested, that in many parts
et the country the poor might be beneficially employed in
keeping the hedges clear of weeds—a practice which it
was will known tendedto prevent weeds from sprining up
amgug the corn.
4fuT some further discussion respecting the allegations
is the case, it was agreedithat it should be sent back to be
restated, so as to contain an account of the endeavours,
if apy, wade by the overseers to provide work for the

poor.
Mr. Justice Batt.se expressed his hope that this discus.
situ; would rouse overseers to exert themselves io this
importapt put of their duty ; and meet at least once a
month for tit° purpose. according to the wholesome provi.
sion, of the statute of Elizabeth, which, be feared, was too
touch neglected.
'Act earl being thus disposed of for the present,
The laonrsEattiJulyrice said, I wish that the Court
was not be tuisnorterstool io respect to any
.thing which
lias,passed in this discussion. As this case is a most im-
portant one, and will probably agitate the public mind, and
as t 110.11 observed that the pioceedings of this Court
are often ;greatly misstated by those wh 3 report them for
the instruction of the public. I wish it to be most dis-
tinctly understood that this Court has given no opinion that
&Mk bodied men, wilUp to work, bat not able to procure
it, ire. net entitled to relief. All the Court sap, is this—
thatit iit the imperative duty of overseers and chnrchwar-
dena.to use all their endeavours to procure employment for
tho Poor; and this, principally, for the sake of the poor ,
thetoselves, to whom it is of the highest importance that
they 'lquid receive money for labour, and not for idle
nese. Let the ca go back again, then, to the sessions, and
let the) se
justices inform ns whit endeavours they hue made',
to obtain work for the poor.
Mr. Justice Best.—l beg toad." out of the parish as
Well se in it."
The LORD 0111E4 JWITICI.—What attempts. they hue
enealein any place. It may be that they have done nothing;
bet, like too many.others. have sat down in despair, instead
of traipse their shoulders-to the wheel, and trying what
aniglikhe effected.
Mr. 404tice Bartier.—There are many ways in which the
poor may be profitobly employed, as levelling hills and ha-
proxiog roads.
Mere the subject was dropped.

succession the charges coOtained in the several articles of
the libel. \ The fifth ertielewas that on which the *bob
of the rest must stand ; if that did not avail the party pro-
4snmet, none of the ethers would. It alleged that on s
slay happening in the month of December; 181.9, when
Lady Helen Mersa was seven months advaused in her preg
Duey (with her first child), Sir Gregory Osborne Page
Turner rose from his pest suddenly, in a violent passion,
dad struck Isis wife, the said Lady Turner, with eon-.
.siderable violence about the bead, face and neck. Now,
if this charge was' true—or assuming it to be so, for the
purpose of debating it—here was certainly a very
unjustifiable act, as almost all acts done In a passion
wet.. But it would not seem to barr.been attended
with any evil consequences. It watt a perfectly solitary act;
and the parties lived together nearly three years after the
transaction; but nothing of the kind was stated to have
taken place afterwards. Lady Turner herself proved to
he pregnant several times subsequently; as, indeed, was
mentioned in the plea. The blow itself was not even
doted to have been struck with a clenched fist; no extreme
violence was imputed, and no indication of it remained
upon her free or person, as was frequently pleaded in such
cases. From the subsequent cohabitation, and the other
circumstances to which lie bad adverted, the Court could
not suppose that this incident, therefore, unjustifi tble as it
might be, amounted to cruelty. In these matters, 44 con-
donation" was meter lightly or rashly to be supposed as
against the. wife; but such an imputation would always
apply, on the contrary, with much more strictneis to the
husband: yet it could never be permitted that a lady should
cherish any alleged violence of this kind for about three
years, in order to be then brought to market on the first
favourable opportunity, as against her husband. The
separation, in the present case, corned oat to be entirely
unconnected with this allegation of cruelty, and was on
her part quite voluntary; therefore, however little the act
might be to be justified, the separation was not to be attri-
buted to that io any way. The learned counsel proceeded
to object to this libel in lobo, but be had many observations
to make on it; and on the 6th article he would observe,'
that it was vita irrelevant; for the qeestion before the
Court was, as to whether Sir G. P. Turner had been guilty
of cruelty to his wife, and not to his wife's mother. The
6th article pleaded that be had left his wife without the
.necessary funds for defraying house-keeping expenses, &C.,'
and that one evening in January, 1820, her mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Gertrude Hayfield, earnestly requested that lie
would supply Lady Turner with some money. Now the
Court would observe in all the subsequent articles, that
this was the graranzen of Lady Turuer's complaint.
It was quite evident throughout. that the dispute was
about money, and that the mother had been in this
way repeatedly ioterferiog on the subject. Here was a lady
residing with her husband, a person of fortune and condi-
tion, in his town house; and though it could not be denied
that it was quite necessary to provide for the expenses of
that louse, and that to neglect tt was most indiscreet and
careless, nothing was said of the lady's inability to provide
whatever she wanted on his credit. Hut the subject matter
of her whole complaint seemed to be, that thedisbursement
of monieswas not intrusted to her. The 7th arid. was more
distinct and important. It related tothe appointment by Sir
Gregory Page Turner, of one Kirby to be his agent; to
the visit paid by Sir Gregory and his Lady to Worthieg ;
and to the fact of Lady Turner's being there left with her
family without any pecuniary supply whatever: Hen
neither this circumstance, nor the execution subsequently
put into the house by creditors, proved against the kill-
band more than extreme carelessness; they by no means
I amounted to cruelty. As to the statement in the Bth
article, that although this lady condouted her house affairs
with the utmost prudence and economy, yet Sir
'Gregory took the whole management of them out of
her bands, leaving her no money whatever ; why,
the husband most always be the best if not the
'oily, judge upon that question of pendent man-
agement. This matter was quite Irrelevant. It
was further pleaded, that while she was thus! deprived,
Sir Gregory continued to purchase antiques, pictures, and
other costly articles of that kind, to gratify his own taste
and inclinations. Why, by law, the husband had the
power of the purse; if lie choose to gratify his taste in this
way, his large fortune and his station surely gave him an
ample title to do so; and if be preferred, instead of paying
his bills, to go upon credit with his tradesmen, there could
be no n,eessity for those disbursements. It was charged,
moreover, that one evening in January, 1821, shortly after
Sir Gregory bad purchased a large quantity of play bills at
the sale of the late John Philip Kends's's effects, for which
he bad paid a large sum of money, Mrs Hayfield, Lady
Turner's mother, spoke of it to him in the mildest
manner, regretting his having paid so large a mimed money
for such 's
purpose, at a time when be had advanced so little
to his lady for matters of indispensable necessity in his
family. Here the Court would observe the extreme indis-
cretion of such language in the mother of Lady Turner;
for what didithis attack on Sir Gregory, described, indeed,
as a remonstrance, but in the mildest manner, amount to?
Why, it was a remonstrance, not so much about what Sir*
Gregory did not do in the house, as about what he bad
thought proper to do out of it. In consequence of these
observations pf Mrs. Hayfield, Sir Gregory (the plea added)
violently pushed her backward ; and of such an act he (Dr.
Adams) would only say, it conld not be shown to be cruelty
to the daughter. 'The learned counsel having discussed the
remaining articles of this libel, arid " 1 object, Sir, to this
plea in lobo, on account of its general insufficiency, and the
irrelevancy of most of the matters pleaded ; not doubting,
however, at all, that Sir Gregory Page Turner can answer
to any pars of them most satisfactorily, if he should be
placed by the Court under the necessity of answering them;
but that is a necessity which 1 thick the Court will not put
him under, unless it should consider that the articles
charge against him each facts es, if proved, would amount
to a case of cruelty. I submit that they do not, and that
this allegation. ought to be rejected."
Dr. Puttnistoaz -followed on the same side.
Dr. LUSIHNOTON conteuded,thst the articles were all relevant
to the case set apt and on that one which eilarged that Step
gory on one oceans" struck his lady several blows on this
and neck, he observed, " thet this was an offence which ad.
Mitt ed of no palliation." It was pleaded, that not only had
be forgotten oo this occasion the duties of his rank, his cha-
racter, and his station, but he had so far forgotten his character
as a man, that he would condescend, when his wife was seven
mouths advanced in pregnancy, to strike her.
The learned counsel, together with Dr. DODSON, warmly ar-
ped that the libel ought to be admitted.
Sir Joon 'Sinnott. was on the point of giving judgment,
when, observing the counsel and proctors on both sides con-
ferring together, he said he would postpone the decision of the
question (the admission of the libel) till the next court day,
being most anxious that every facility should be given to the
making of some wadeable arrangement of the matter Gut of

court.-
Dr. ADAMS was sure the Court would give counsel on both
sides credit, and equal credit, for the same a ish amicably to
arrauge this unfortunate matter ; bat he confessed his own
hopes were not very sanguine.
The sentence was postponed accordingly, as to the admis-
sion of the 'Joel. •

.A .•
.Teiterdity the following oftgariers aist net toe Wilt
their country, were brought into the Chapel._ df
to perform their last public devotional exercise, via. :
James Scott, aged 48, Mr cutting and maltnitig lirc wife'
in the vicinity of the Regent's Park.—Edward Hogen,igotr
IS, for a' like offence, kommittetron a fell'uw striirkinani
near Doo:or's • Cortimains.—John . Smith,. who ' 'pleaded.
guilty to an indictment for uttering forged five pound
Bank of England- notes.---And James Crisp. convicted'
on two inclictmeets for, burglary in or'near Pentonville.
The Sheriffs ismted a considerible number of oilier, for
admission to persons desirous to witness the solemn service,
and long before the commencement, the entrances thin the
prison were ehoked with earnest expactants of gaining
adinissioa, consequently the capacious Chapel was crowded
to excess, and many from 'necessity excluded.
The Her. Ordinary (Mr. Cotton) read the 'formula Sif.
the Church in an impressive manner, laying great strait
on those sentences which were applicable to the Weal,
occasion, both as respected the spectators, and more par7l
Ocularly the uuhapuy objects of his charge. This closed.'
the Rev. Gentleman proceeded to address himself tl the ,
auditory, and founded the motto of his discourse of tint lase
words of the penitent sinner, " Lord,
.remember
Luke xxiii. verse 42.
From these appropriate words, the Rev. Clergyniza '
pointed out the conduct of the dying applicant for mercy ;
and, secondly, the gracious assurance of the Itedtner,
who was shedding his blood for the sins of men•e—" this day
thou shalt be with me in Paradise." He also dilated on
the conduct of the obdurate thief connected with that
solemn historical event—" He saved others, Himself 6e
cannot save."
The deductions and observations which would aria
from those propositions cannot be mistaken, but even in
that event, it is impossible to give even an epitome of the
discourse on which they were founded. After the Rev.
Divine had marked out the dis:inction between a repentance
arising from a dread of punishment, and a filial cootritionl
on account of having Wien led a kind benefactor by in—
fringing on the mandates which were formed fur the.
reciprocal observance between man and man, he lamented
that it became his duty to allude to the particular offences
for which the unhappy objects before him bad shortly I,
answer with their lives.
Alluding to Hogan ant Scott, one had committed eke. 1
lance at the shrine of friendship. mud the other had, in a
wanton manner, attacked the wife of his bosom ; whom,
, by the mandate of Heaven, be was informed he was hound
I to protect, and but for merciful interposition, the wound*
be inflicted were not mortal. At this address, Scott was
much affected, but Hogan seemed wholly indifferent to
what passed, such is the dreadful effect 'of ignorance.
The allusive remarks made to the other men, were
equally pertinent, and the conduct of Smith and Crisp,
evinced that they were fully conscious of their perilous
situation.
In observing on the cases of Hogan and Scott, the Rev.
Ordinary, in order to impress them with the enormity of
their effeners as connected with a recent event, to show the
necessity that such attacks should be visited with candike
punishment; while these observations were made, Mr.
Thos. Thurtell appeared evidently affected ; but his tie-
pertinent throughout, was composed and devout.
The service ended, Smith, who is a most intelligeoi
young titan, went to tile extremity of the condemned pew,
and bade farewell to some of his late companions nude,
the same awful sentence, which produced en effect diifiealt
to he described.
. The Chapel, as already remarked, was crowded to
excels.

Bow STRIUT.--OBSTRUCTING TEN PATROL:Mr: Do
err, a respectable tradesman, residing in Old Round Court
Strand, was brought before Mr. MINUIULL. by J. Davi
and Wootton, of the Day Patrol, and charged be them with
having obstructed and assaulted them in the execution of
.their duty.---Mr. Dover is an elderly gnu, and be was ex
erosive)), agitated at being placed at the bar. He exclaimed
against it violently.
It appeared by the statement of Davis and Wootten, that
at three o'clock, Saturday afternoon, they saw two reputed
thieves lurking about the Strand, and having watched them
into Holywell Street, they slightly searched their pockets,
and told them not to come there again, or they would get 1
another three months at the treadmill. Just at this moment
Mr. Dover came up; he had been at Newgate market to
purchase a turkey, which he was now carrying home in a
small rush basket ; and hearing what the patrol said to the
thieves. he exclaimed, " You sconndrels, it would be well
if you yourselves were to have six months at the tread-
mill !" The patrol asked him what business he had to
interfere, and hinted that perhaps his basket ought to be
searched ; Whereupon be lifted up his arm and made a blew
at one of them, and then they took bins into custody, and
brought him immediately before the Magistrate. It was
added, that in his way to the office he endeavoured to
excite the crowd to acts of violence by " political observa-
tions."
The Magistrate asked what those political observations
were, and the patrol replied, that he cried out repeatedly,
"These are the scoundrels that are paid thirty shillings a
week to oppress Englishmen! This is Lord Sidmouth's
blessed system !" &c. The statement of the patrol was
corroborated by an acquaintance of their's—a person
named Wright, who described himself as a broker in
Seven Dials ; and the Magistrate told Mr. Dover he was
ready to hear any thing he had to say in his defence.
Mr. Dover, however, was in such a passion, that he
could make no connected defence. He said be was paying
fifty pounds a year taxes to support these men (the patrol),
and he wished to know whether or not things were come
to such a pass in England,•that honest tradesmen were
to be strangled by them 'in the public streets in open
day? He had three votes, be said, for Members of
Parliament, and he would be very cautions how he' gave
his vote in future to men who would make such abominable
laws. As to the charge, he denied it in tato, he 'never
lifted his hand against the men,. except 'with
the basket in his hand, to keep them from strangling'
him. for he had no notion of being strangled in the streets
on a Saturday, when he had 20 or 30 men waiting at bbase
for thir wages. He denied that the officers bad an right
to call any man a pickpocket, and threatened him with the
tread-mill in the public streeta. He denied no' doubt that
the two lads they stopped were as honest as thensselvtil,
and yet they pointed them out as thieves. If they hid
served him so he would have his action for the slander,'
and taught them better manners.—The MantrritaTe said
it was in evidence upon the oaths of three persona, thatle
had obstructed the officers in the execution of their duty p
for, whatever might be Mr. Dover's opinion on the
subject, it was their dnty•to stop, search, and drive away
reputed thieves from all public places; and he mast there-
fore find bail for his appearance at the Quarter Sessions to
answer the indictment which would saqUestionably be
preferred against him.
