, John Hurlock, a surgeon, was called to attend Wetton.—
He found a wound in the neck. It was superficial. It ex-
fended tmsbout a third of the whole of the neck. There were
otNer wounds on the body. It was impossible that any of
Cm wounds could be the result of an accidental fall of a

The prisoner, being called on goy his defence, stated that the

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
' One of the Jurymen said that, having found it. necessary

Mr. ADOLPHUS corifinad klmself, ih stating the case: to
few observations which naturally rose out of the revolt;
lag sabjett. It was known te hue beds a maxim eulogist!
The Romans, that do leer• lima exist against persons,
frailty of parricide, upon the principle that such a crime
could not exist. It moist also be a maxim in the Bogliik'
law, that no penishment eboild be assigned to 'those who
were guilty of incest, Imo*. tbe presumption that nature
could not be so grievously trampled upon. The case before
the'Jery would prove that there was one person in the
ship* of a human being capable of abandoning the pow.
Wel suggestions of nature, and soliciting his own child
to he his partner in crime, of persecuting her fora series,
not of days, but years, to submit to that horrible state of
degradation, and when she repelled him, of using violence
to accomplish his deteetable purpose.
• Sarah Wilson, the prosecutrix, deposed that the prisoner
was her fuller; that her mother died in 1819, leaving her
end her brother and sister to her father's care. The sister
Is four years younger than herself, and she is O. They
resided at the house of a Mr. Smith. Her father acted
most indecently towards her, and solicited her repeatedly
to snow him to take liberties with her. When she resisted,
he told her that it was the tyrant laws of custom, and not
those of nature, that bound her to repel indecencies.—
There was but one room and one bed, and she attd her
sister used to make op a bed for themselves in another part
of the room. Her father used to solicit her like a lover,
not like a father; and when she would not consent, his
conduct was most cruel. Oa the 17th of December, be
threw. her on the floor, and proceeded to the worst in leceo•
cies. She scratched his face and called out, and be was
afraid to proceed farther. He begged she would not make
a noise to bring the people up. After this be repeated this
conduct frequently. it had occurred to her frequently to
leave him, but she thought of the injury it would do to
his connexion. She left him 18 months ago, but he wait-
ed for beetled caught her, and brought her home, wear•
ing that his arms might drop off if he. would ever attempt
to commit a like meson again.
Rebecca Wilson, her sister, confirmed this statement in
many of the disgusting porticulars.
The prisoner then cried out that his daughter Sarah was
a base character. that she lived with rile strumpets, and
that he had in vain end d to paotect her.
Jane Smith, a woman in whose house the prisoner re-
sided, stated, that on the 17th of December she heard a
noise in the prisoner's room, and thought his daughter was
in fits. She soon afterwards beard Sarah scream, and say
to her fattier, " You good for nothing villain. yon want to
be my ruin and destruction, but you shall not while I have
breath t.; draw. Witness heard a sculls then, but finding
that Serail was able to defend herself, she did not enter the
room.
Juhn Knight deposed that he saw the prosecutor strug-
gling to get away from the embraces of her father.
The prisoner in his defence said, the whole was a base
story—that his daughter Sarah was a base creature—that
be ;reeked day and night for her and her sister, and had
given them a tender education—that Sarah bad robbed
him, and had been turned away from her master's (Nlr.
Barrow's) house fur being a thief and a w—e.

she was not his daughter, and he had therefore a right to
take liberties."
Prisoner-4, Very well, Ido say that she is not. At least,
I don't know that she is my child."
The prisoner called Mr. Barrow, but that gentleman
deposed, that Sarah was one of the best girls he ever saw ;
that she had left his service against his and his wife's will.
and that he knew her from her childhood.
The CHAIRMAN His mind is badly turned in other
respects as well uin that for which he is on his trial. He

thigh, and would bave torn the part away only for some
persons who very humanely came to her assistance. She
did know whereto apply for redress, till they directed bet
to this Office.
The Mactirrnavz inquired whether she was sure the man
set the dog at • her wantonly and mischievonslv.—The
young tidy answered in the affirmative. She had not
even spoken to him, or any other person, until the dog
bit her thigh and tore her severely. The Magistrate
ordered her to go to come surgeon and have the part
dressed in the first instance, and then if she pleased a
warrant would be granted against the offender: but her
best mode of proceeding would be by an indictment against
bim. or by an action, when no doobt she would obtain
damages.
The young Lady thanked the Magistrate and left the
office. She was so disabled that she could scarcely walk.
IJART•LE-BoNN6 OPPICC.--FIXAL EX•MIN•TION OP J.
SPOTT.—Yetit,rtlay the final examination of this man took
I place. on the charge of having made a most horrible attack
upon his wife in the Regent's Park, with intent L.) murder
her. He was genteelly dressed, and his demeanor was
composed and firm.
In addition to the evidence before given, it appealed
that the prisoner had made an attempt to plunge a small
pair of sharp scissors into her left side, with a view as
was thought of stabbing' lire to the heart. Being rescued
from his grasp, she was covered with wounds, and the
blood flowed in torrent. from her temples, neck, and arms.
Mr. Lune, the surgeon, proved having examined Mrs.
Stott. and finding eleven wounds or stabs on her arm,
breasts, temples, wrist., hands, and head, produced by a
blunt instrument; smile of the wounds were severe, an I be
weld not pronounce her out of danger.
Mrs. Scott was then suppoited into the office; her head
was bound up, and her left arm was in a sling, and she was
so week from loss of blood as t, lie almost unable to speak.
Being allowed to sit dowh, she said, that on Monday ut.wn-
ing last she attended at the Sessions House, Clerkrnwell, to
prefer, in consequence of the prisoner's excessive brutality,
articles of the p, ace against him. Having done so, and be
being, as a matter of twtulgence, only held in his own re-
cognizance, shequittell the Cvner, and In the evening, on
her return to her cousin's, in Portland-listen, as she was
crossing the Regent's Park. she met him. He seized her by
the throe, and neatly choake.l her; she told him to go
away, as she did not want to see or speak to him ; and be-
ing apprehensive lie was going to cut her throat, she cauzlit
hold of his hand, when he said with an oath, " I have not
got a knife row, butt will murder you on this spot." He
then struck her on the temple, she thought with a key, and
he repeated th bows ; she felt• the blood trickling down
her face, and she screamed for assist ince and fell down ; he
still continued to stab her, and she being no longer able to
resist, lost her senses.
The prisoner raised his eyes with a cat- Ike slyness at her
during the recital, and as she proceeded her features became
fixed in savage anger. He male no attempt to speak ex-
cept once, when he muttered, " The wretch has sealed my
fate; I wish I had killed her !"
When called on, he said in a very agitated tone, and
seemingly trembling with rage, that there was a Gentleman
dressed in black who knew the whole; I wish he was Galled
—my wife is kept and lives with him.
Several of the witnesses said there was no such person ;
it was all false.
The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for
trial at the next Sessions under Lord Ellenborough's
Act. All the witnesses being bound over to prosecute hint.
Uxtow Ilat.L.—Yesterday morning', Mrs. Lowe, a tall,
s'out, dark complexioned woman, appeared to complain'
against her besbend for mal-treatment. She stated that
she had been married to the defendant (who attended at the
bar by virtue of a summons) about twelvemonths, that they
a chandler's shop, and might have done very well had
it not been that he has an exceedingly bad temper, and,
for the purpose of more effectually annoying her. he some-
times will stand at the door from six o'clock in the morn
ing till six at night insulting every person who attempts to
enter at the shop; at other times he scratches her face till
it streams with blood ; then again he tears her clothes per.
feetlyto ribbands—so that it would be impossible for her
to continue to live with him.
Mr. Lowe, a man who may be said to have one foot in
the grave, with the other on the very brink of it, being, as'
one might guess ninety years of age, exceedingly nervous,
and in every respect most infirm, being called upon for an
explanation, said, he hail had three wives—when the last
died, she left three chests of drawers full of excellent clothes,
every one of which he gave to Itiz present wife and false
accuser—that before he was married to this woman he had
one of the best shops in London, but that since that nnfor-
tnnatePeriod his business had declined every day— she had
made away with the n hole of his late wife's apparel—she
was in the habit of getting tipsey, and neglecting the shop
—indeed, the very day on which they were married, the
moment they left the church, she set off from him, alledging
that she wished to go and set up that night with a friend,
and he never saw her again till five o'clock next day. She
bad also run him into debt, to the amount of 401., which
would prove his utter ruin. He further said, that the pre
sent row was all over his having thrown a penny loaf into
her face last night, because she was impertinent to him ;
he never strisik her, he only pawed her ; but he was now
determined to give up the shop, and go into the workhouse.
The Magistrate might rest perfectly satisfied, as well as
the dame herself, that he would never again, as long as he
lived, lay a finger of his upon her.
Mr. ALLEN then said, the warrant would stand over for
a fortnight, to give them a further opportunity of coming
to some amicable arrangement.

Lostuartyr.—A female' upon whose memory events were
recorded, which are only known to the presentage through '
the history of the times in which they occurred, has just
taken her departure from a world in which shehad witnessed
more extraordinary changes than it has often fallen to the
lot of humanity to survive. This aged female, whose name
was Eleanor Job, died on Wednesday evening last, in
01inch-court, in the parish of Saint Giles, at the very ad
voiced age of 105 years. In the first contest between this
coentry and America, she accompanied her husband, who
was a soldier of artillery, to the latter country, where she
attended with the army in every campaign that took place,
as principal nurse in what was called at that time the flying
hospital. Her intrepidity and hainanity were equal!)

An inquest was held on Wednesdayserening last, at the
King's Arms Tavern, Woodstock-street, on the body of
Martin Jordan, Esq. aged 76 years.—The deceased we, s

death ; he was suffering much from gout, hut otherwise
enjoying excellent health. About two days before his death,
he attended him, but administered more to his mind than
body. His wind occasionally seemed ranch affected; it did
nut actually approach to derangement, but a total
loss of mind, a despondency which was next to
derangement. Witness was not at all surprised at
that deceased had taken laudanum, from a previous
lcnua ledge of his state of mind. On Tuesday morning
about ten o'clock, he was called to attend the deceased. lle
was first informed by Mrs. Jordan that he bad taken
laudanum, anti afterwards by deceased, that he had
taken one ounce and a half, and that any assistance
the witness might attempt to render him would be
useless. This was proved in the result, deceased dying
t decidedly from the effects of the opium. He also informed

Manus et Marcus usor.—Hue.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
SOCRATES, by his Discourse on filarrisge, so en-
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the
married men flew to their wives, and the bachemrk hastened
to be wedded; and "The Spectator" has affirmed, that the
word " wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name in
nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the
desideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with hap-
piness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize
with bliss hereafter. ..
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obli-
gation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate
the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those
impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may
have entailed upon it. To the neg!ect of such attention are
attributable, many of those hapless instances, which. whits
they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also
impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminixe Yee body—a residence ht
the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially
does the premature infatuation of youth too frequentlycora-
promise the natural dignity Into a state of inanition, (roils
whence the 'rushed sufferer more than doubts the chsss!
of relief. To all such, then,. we address ourselves, nfreri
hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity : nor will our
advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they ere by the
multiplied proofs of twenty years successful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed
by the suspension of those blessings which coacentrate the
nuptial wreath—for the female Habit is often constitutionally
weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im-
proved into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, us well as In every
relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our 'bilky
to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to
expel the unfeeling empiric from the position so presittapPir
entity taken up, we deviate from general principles wit.h
less hesitation • and confident in our own honourable inte-
grity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the
suffering community of either Sex (especially those enter-
ing into matrimonial fife) at Once to our houses, •where daily
attendance Is given for personal consultation ; and Idlers
from the country are immediately answered; these must
contain m rernittancelor Advice and Medicine, which zee be
forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.
