EGOO.  Mr. TAUNTON observed, that the attack made by the other side on the reputation of Miss Cooke, was the most unfounded, the most unjustifiable, and the most villainous attempt that he had ever known, in the course of his experience of 20 years, to blacken and injure the character of any individual. • .(Mr. JERVIS here rose, and said, that this was not to be endured). Mr. TAUNTON declared, that he meant nothing personal to his Learned Friends on the other side, nor to the respectable Attorney who had instructed them : his observations were applied only to that brazen baggage, Mary Taylor. Let the Jury remember the manner in which this woman had given her evidence—the long pauses she made—the confu-. sion of her looks--and her solemn declarations that she did not understand the plainest possible questions.— If the defendant could bring forward such a witness as this to tell her infamous story to-day, what must have been the base arts by which he triumphed over the virtue of this poor girl ? The Jury would judge what they did not see by what they had seen.— Let them, then, pity the plaintiff ; them feel- for him as a father, as thay would feel for themselves, and give him such a verdict as the aggravated circumstances of the case required. Mr. Justice RICHARDSON summed up the case.— The Jury deliberated for a long time, and then gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £1.50.  Kennett, convicted of stealing Mr. Honsetty's child, is on board the hulks at Sheerness, -waiting a , conveyance to New South Wales. The whole of the prisoners capitally convicted at Abingdon Assizes were reprieved before the Judge left the town, except E. Tool and D. Patitmee. Their case was of a most aggravated nature ; they broke into the dwellinglionse of T. Smith, at night, and nearly murdered him ; he was in bed w hen they entered the premises ; they took the oak-bar which had fastened the door, and beat hien about the head, till they supposed he was dead ; they then turned the bed over him, and committed the robbery. They were convicted on the evidence of an accomplice, named ' William Hall, alias Pinkitt. They still declare that they are innocent, but they will be executed at Reading, by the common hangman, from London, as the county of Berks does not retain an officer of that description. The Vicar of Wellington, in Somersetshire, was informed against last week, and fined C3,for omitting to read publicly in his Church the Act against Pro' fane Swearing, as required by Law.
