This was an action of damages fur a malicious prose-
cution carried on by the defendant. a beneficed Clergy-
man residing at Twickenham, upon a charge of steal-
inzbat• ounces of beef, value one penny, aodfoor,
omens of bread, value one pansy. against the present
plaintiff, who was employed as a labouring gardener In
the defendant's service. The fact was charted as com-
mitted on the 22nd of Oct. 1421. The plaintiff was in-
dict.d by the present defendant. Tara took place
at the Middlesex Sessions next ensuing; conviction
would have subjected him to transportation for acre',
years, hut he was acquitted by the Jury without the
slightest hesitation; and the present action was brought
to recover coutpensatioo. for the injury sustained in leis
person, his character, and bis mind, and the inconve-1
nietwe lad great expend—sbove 201.—which he was put
to le his defence against the charge.' ••••
PaTTtSON opened the proceedings rand
Mr. Pnitt.tes stated the case of his client ugh-marked'
ability. sod forcible elOqttence. He spoke at consider-
able length. He contrasted toe siteattons of the prose-
cutor and the defendant on the criminal trial, as well as
the petty and contemptible object for which the prose-
cutlass was brought, compared with the heavy punish-
ment which mosthave attached upon the accuaed in the
event of a conviction. The prosecutor was, a wealthy
heoeficed.paison. living in a style of fashionable luxury
and affluence, with a splendid residence, carriage, re-
tinue, and establishmitot of nine domestic servants; the
defendant, a poor working gardener, endeavouring by
his hard labour from day today to obtain an honest but
scanty maintepanee for himself and those who depended
• on him, He could compare the one only to the Dices
enestioaed ig scripture, who, while 110 himself rolled in
all the indulgences of splendour, luxury and profusion,
grudged to the miserable Lazarus even the crumbs that
felt from his table. Ile depicted the conduct of the Itev.

far a supposed theft, w hide be himself, with all his dis-
position to crush and to ruin his character (the poor
area', only hope for livelihood) and to procure his igno-
miehaas expulsion from his native country, could only
venture-to estimate at the pahry. sum of two pence! Such
a procedure hcconsidered as violatory to the precepts
of thee Christian religion. which enjoined its professors
to for-glee and not to persecute ; which it was the

Aare charging the defendant on that occasion with
arity to the theft, and aakiag him when or bow other-
wise-be came by the bread and beef?—be said he had
tot them oe the day before from his aunt, wtio lived at
Gamberwell.. The prosecutor them said, be was going
to take a drive that day over to Camberwell, and asked
what was, his aunt's name and residence, as be would
call and.inquire of her; but the defendant then refused
.to toll him her name, and this circumstance so confirmed
the prosecutor's suspicions, that he determined to prose-
cute the defendant.
It appeared, however, on the criminal trial, as on the
evidence on the action cause this day, from the testi-
mony of a Mrs. Baldwin, seek to the prosecutor at the
:throe, that he applied to her to go into ber larder, of
which she always kept the key; and in her presence
compared the slice of beef belled brought from the tool-
house with the sound from which he supposed it to have
• been cut, and that it appeared in every respect quite di&
forest, and could cot have been part of the prosecutor's
round of beef dressed on the preceding day, which she
uld'bim; and the proof winally failed with regard to
this slice of bread. And the root of the prisoner from
Ciroberwell, and two other witnesses, proved that this,
beef aed bread were given him by his aunt on Sunday,
the day preceding this discovery; and that he bad
placed them in the drawer, the usual depository of pro-
wsons for his dinner, The indictment, therefore, having
failevton trial, the present action was instituted

the Reverend prosecutor. •

codld not avoid deprecating the strong.and unlinked
language used by his Learned Friend who opened this
cause, in stigmatising the character and condfict of the

had dl covered an instance of the fraudulent purloining

in the locideat to which the trial, and this adios, mainly
alluded, and he acted from a sense of dilly in example
to others. If he verily believed the guilt of the plaintiff,
the amount of the theft signified nothing—and be was
justified in prosecutiog without any just pretence that
malice was his motive. Unless, therefore, the Jerry'
were quite convinced (rein the evidence, that the prose-
cution, was instigated by malicious motives, they could

SENTENCES ON ON TUE CONVICTS Tale SIMON.
The ease of Thomas Gibbons, stated In yesterday's paper,
being the last for trial, the RECOURSE dismissed the Jury
with the that'lls of the Court. He then proeeeded to pass
sentence upon the various prisoners found guilty during the
Sessions. Forty-three persons were sentenced to twelve
months, some of them to be whipped in the mean time. TWee
were sentenced toe years Imprisonment; four to be wh=
and discharged ; nibeteen sentenced to serest years
rotation. John Duce was ordered to be transported kv
fourteen years, and Margaret Gibbous and Thomas Seat&
for life. ._
The following persons having been capitally eoevieted;
, were then placed at the bar :—John Wait, for forgery on
the Bank of England ; Alexander Robertson, who had
pleaded guilty to forging the Hall mark to defeau I Govern-
'went of the duties payable on gold and silver; Jorgan Jor-
genson, who had pleeded guilty for returning from trans-
portation ; Patrick Holding, for stealing in a dwelling-house
'drove the value of 40s. ; John Harris, for a similar offence;
George William Henry, aged IS, for berglety ; Wes. Fry,
'eked 17, for a similar offence; Martin Bell and Wet. Par-
;Mos, for burglary; • James Gilpin, for burglary ; Mart
Herd, William Watts, James Browo, and Titoism' Feller,
'for burglary; Elizabeth Physick. aged 14‘fer steelleil'eme
but master above the value of 405.; end John Willie, for a
Medlar offence. The RECORDER then addressed the prisoners

lea most impressive manner. He advised them all to pr •
pare for death; for to those whose lives might be spar
Math a preparation might assist in reforming them, ,
leaking them useful members of society. The well-koovre
leader of midnight robbers and his desperate geng (memo
Mg Herd. Watts, Brown, and Fuller), could expect so
1 mercy—publie safety demanded that they should meet their
fate; as to the others, they. depended entirely upon the
mercy of his most Gracious Majesty. It now rest:mined for
bite to pronounce the awful sentence of the law, which be;
did in a most solemn manner in the usual words. ' .
Elizabeth Physick, who is a most interesting looking
young girl, was then asked if she could shew any cause why
the execution of her sentence should be respited, but sh
merle no reply.
The judgment lb the case of Husannah Weisby was
spited.
Mr. Wait was not ironed. His deportment massifestel
