MAR LOMMIITON-gTIRIT.—Capt. A ily. of
the 191st regiment, was charged with ts•attlting and
nonnding Samuel Plank, an officer belonging to this
other, who was looking out to serve a warrant upon
him on Saturday morning.

Plank had been applied to, to serve it warrant of
assault upon Capt. K. at the suit of W. Henley, Esq.
a gentleman of fortune, residing at No. 7ti, Sloane-
street, but ►e had muck difficulty in finding him: at
length, he bad information that he was at a gaming-
house in King-street, St. James's, where he waited
his coming out, and then politely accosted him, and
asked him if he was not Captain Kelly. His reply
was, " No, upon my honour as a gentleman, I am
not Captain Kelly: my name is Johnson." But the
offieer, satisfied it was the Capt. K. he wanted, fol-
lowed him into St. James's-square, when the Captain
demanded in an imperative tone, what he wanted?
The officer told him, and skewed his staff, which the
&Gasket snatched from his band, and knocked Lim
dentist 4ltli a violent blow which fractured his head,
and then made his escape.

The warrant was next put into the hands of
Jefferies, another officer, who Wok the defendant into
custody on Monday evening, at the Bah-Ifotel.
.. surgeon proved the state of the wound which
Plink had received ; and said he could not pronounce
him out of danger, as he had known instances of per-
sons losing their lives under similar circumstances.

The defendant was identified to be the person ‘tho
a.canited the officer, and he was committed t Tothill-
- and ordered to give forty-eight hours
nutire of

Conosint's Istgonars.-31onmiay night an inquest
vr.ts held at the IlittfAimm's-head, New-road, :11 -le
Wm., before T. Sterling, Esq. coroner, on the holy of
Ann flaming. aged 2.-1, an interesting yoming wommiatt.
who died on Monday morning in the intirm.mry, after
ii.iv on the Tliorsmisy morning prem eding, !wet,
delii.ereil of a dead child. Mr. Goodyer, the apoilie-
eary to time infirmary, was of opinion that she died mit
St. .tntlicily's tire. The midwife deposed to marks
spun the hod. proceeding from blows or hrists.

Richard Coates, constable of Man•-le-bone. deposed
that he received infurniation •f the ill-treatment to.
. wards the deceased, and he proceeded to a house in
Folgware-road, where he knocked at
the dour; on entering the passage, he saw the de-
ceased, who n•as dressed in a kind of o!,1 butcher's
jacket and a t•etticoat, and was a deplorable figure.
Wit mess qmestioned her respecting her ill-treatment;
she took hint into the parlour, where she 'hewed him
! her back and loins, which appeared as if she had been
whipped, and the thick part of her arms were quite
black.; site then took him down into the kitchen, and
laying herself down upon the kitchen table, said that
was the way ('apt. I,l—, her master, fastened her
!to the table and flogged her; she then fetched 111111 a
whip, which she said he was iii the habit of beating
ith. (The whip was here produced—it is a kind
of postillion's whip, with several tremendous knots
in it:) limitary, on viewinglit, expressed a feeling
of horror to think that a *Moan should be whipped
with such a thing. She Mtn said that be wottid first
heat her with the whip and then with a roil, while site
i n•as across the table; she told witness that was not
the worst; he would sometimes beat her with a stick,
the size of her two thumbs, and she felt that more than
!she did the whip a good deal. She told loins that he
I came home on the Sunday evening, the 29th of Or-
tither, and she could not get to the door quick enough
for bins, and as soon as he got in, he took up a roll•
ing-pin, and beat her across the shoulders terribly
with it—(A burst of indignation front the Jury.)—
At other times u hen he was at home, if she happened
'to sit on her chair in a manner that did nut please
him, lie would get up and strike her with his double
fist. Witness borrowed a cloak, bonnet, and hat, for
the deceased, and took her to Marlburough-street
Police-otfice, where she took out a warrant for him.
The deceased told witness that she had been used so
for three months; he was sent there by the neighbours,
who were frequently alarmed by the cries of murder
and the groans of the deceased.

After the deceased took nut the warrant, she begged
of witness to be careful how he served it on the Cap-
tain, as he always carried pistols about him, and would
shoot any holy who stopped him in the street. Wit-
ness got the deceased a lodging that night at the
above house, and went in search of him ; he met him
in the Ups-are-road, and apprehended him. The
deceased confessed that the Captain had beat her with
a stick upon the side, and she was afraid she should
ni-ver recover it ; it was a dirty house, and sometimes,
she told him, that lie would make her get out of bed,
and hr would stand over her with a horsewhip while
she wrote hint letters to his (incy ; and, sometimes
with a dagger. lie questioned her as to why she re-
mained there—she replied “ that she attempted once
to run away, but he dragged her back by the hair of
her head. She had clothes hot he would not let her
wear esent.“—She never told witness that she was
pregnant. At Marlborough-street the Captain was
bound over in the sun; of 4.7 WO and two sureties in
£5O each.

After sat from seven o'clock until one yester-
day morninz, is was agreed that the Inquest should be
adjourned until to-morrow morning at N o'clock, when
:lie body will be opened.

ing a wine glass full of mixture which was inten.le.l

had been given her in mistake instead of rum.
'I Le Jnry returned a verdict—That the deceased
met her death by an infusion of meadow saffron in rum
being given in mistake by Susannah Dasis.

NEW CLOAK vim Roaasar.—Several persons were
yesteriLiv charged, at How-street, with baring. as-
sumed the st tir and character of constables, in order
