The latter having a writ to execute against the plaintiff, ealled at his shop for that purpose, but seeing him engaged speaking (0 a gentleman, sent him word hv one of hi. assistants that he would call again in half an hour. On returning at the period, he found the plaintiff'still engaged talking to the gentleman, whereupon he sent him word he would call on the following day, He then went away, buk m caJJiug tlu. following day he found that the plaiutifV was not at home. He thereupon became very much irritated, and observed to the plaintiff's clerk, who was just then going into the I a, but whom he did not know to ,be his clerk, ttiitt the plaintiff had become bankrupt, and gUile, away to avoid his oreditors,-that he (defendant) hud a warrant HRaillst him, and if he could catch him, he would take him to Whiteeross street pri sun. No persoll "ppeareù on hehelf of the defen- dant. The jury found a verdict for the plaintitf- Damasres 40s. I COURT OF KING'S BENCH. FISH t" '1'INTOS,-This was an action for false imprisonment. The plaintiff' is a cabriolet pro- prietor, and the defcndunt a pnhlican anet !itahle< keeper in the ucinity of Fnston-square. In the defendant's stable the plaintiff kept a horoc. On the Kith of Fehrnary the plaintiff put up his horse at night in the stable, and insisted on taking away the kels with him, The defendant said that the keys shotil t be left at his house, as they had usu- ally been, that he might have the means of putting in any other hor.-es tiiat might comc. The plain- tiff obstinately refused to give up the keys, and the defendaut "ale him in custody to a policeman, who took him to the station-house. The defend ant there said that he did not want to make any charge if the plaintiff would give up the keys, and he was urged by the policeman to do so, but he said that he would be if he would. The dc fendant's charge was then taken, which was for nulawfullv detaining his keys, and on that charge the plaintiff was kept all night in tho etation house, and taken next day before a Magistrate, who discharged him on his promise to give up the keys. The policeman stated that the plaintiff was very drunk and disorderly. The Lord Chief JlIstice observed, that it appeared that the original provocation came from the plaintifr, but that the charge was not one on whieh he ought to have been given or taken into custody and imprisoned. The imprisonment was, therefore, illegal, and it was for the Jury to assess the d.?.Se.Verdi?t for the plaintiff" —Damages £ 6. 'I'm: KING V. JESSICM..—This wasitn indictment, on the prosecution of Charles Millingen, for an assault. The defendant had been indicted by the I :);; to; a(: e:ne j',vc: di ¡:e er!ISut went with the officer to the residence of the de fendant in Finsbury-square topoiut out the person of the defendant. While walling for the officer's coiuiiig nut of th<vhou9e, the-"defondant ctbtue for ward, seized him by the collar, and violently as. suulted him. It was stated by the prosecutor that the defendant dragged him into the house, but there was some contradictory evidence on that point. It appeared, however, that the prosecutor had been sent with the officer to take the defend- ant into custody at a time of day when he could not procure bail, and gave instructions for his being immediately taken to prison. The Jury found a verdict of Guilty, and tho dofendallt was sentenced to the payment of a fine of Is. JAMRS v- AI.COCK.—This was an action brought I h/tP;:],n':i.T:t:n, ,stbt,It fendunt, who is a tailor, in Jermyn st,eet, to re- cover enmpcnsatioo in damages for injury done to the plaintiff's wife by her being thrown out of a ,,?ai' through the negligence and bad driving of the defendant. On the 2(st of March last Mrs. James was proceeding along the Westminster-road, driven in a chaise by a Alr. Whittington, whu wa, tailed as a witness, when a stage coac h came to wards them from the bridge, and behind this etiael) the defendant Came driving at a rarid rate, When the otage coach came duse np to Mrs. James's, chais, which was close to the curb-stone on its right sido, the defendant broke out from behind tho coach, and drove between the coach and 1\1 rs James's chaise, and struck it so violently that the chaise was completely upset, and the lady was thrown out, and had her arm broken, and some of her teeth knocked out, and was otherwise bruised; and this was the injury for which damages were: claimed. This case was proved, and there was no defence. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £ 70. go" v. LrDDO.This was an action brought, by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages for the injury whieh he had sustained in conse- "uenee of being run down by the defendant's horse and cart, driven by the defendant himself. The plaintiff, who was a Dutchman, and a teacher of lorcign languages, was on the 14th of July, 1831, walking on the London-road towards his residence at Islington, when the defendant, a butcher, came driving violently in the opposite direction, and the horse or shaft of the cart struck the plaintiff and threw him down in the road, by which mean. he was severely injured and bruiseO, and confined to his bed for twelve davs afterwards. This accident happened at about tc;, o'clock at night. The de fendant, after the accident happened, did not stop, bur drove on without taking any notice*of what he had done, till he was stopped by a policeman and another person, and then, he became very abusive. Witnesses were then called, whose evi- denee made out this case for the plaintiff. Verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, £ 20. BAYMS v. HAYWARD.—Mr. Platt stated that this was an action brought by the defendant, who is a priuter in Johnston's-court, Fleet-street, to recover the sum of £ 13, l!)s. G-l. being the amount of charge for printing a pamphlet, taking up thc cause of Mr. (late Captain) Hamilton, fifty copies of which were printed and sent to the chambers of the de- fendant's father, in Essex- court, Temple, with whom the defendant was a clerk, Witnesses were examined on the part of the plaintiff, who proved that the order for printing was given by the de fendant; that the proofs Were corrected by hun, and that when the work was finished it was sent to his father's chambers, which was the defendant's home. Mr. Williams, on the part of defendant, maintained that Mr. Hamilton, and not the defend- ant was liable to this debt. The defendant's father was solicitor for Cap, Hamilton, and the order in question was given by the defendant as Ion the part of Capt. Hamilton, and other witnesses Were called, who corroborated the statement of the defendant's Counsel, After which the Lord Chief Justice summed np, leaving to the Jury to say, whether, in the circumstances, the defendant made himself liable for the debt. Verdict for the plaintiff.

THK CtifRAGOPt, OR GUIDE FOR THE HAND — Mr. William Stidolph, a schoolmaster at Black- heath, has invented an apparatus, to which the name of Chiragon ia given i by the assistance of which, a person who has become blind after hav- ing learnod the art of writing, may continue its practice without the risk of confounding words or lines together. It consists of a frame with a raised margin upon qhich margin is placed a narrow piece of wood, having a groove to receive a con es ponding key that is attached to a collar or bracelet frolD the wriot. In the sides of the frame a serie, of notdbes are cut, into which the grooved pieec of wood is placed, successively, so as to form the re gular intervals between the line., whilst the hand is permitted by the collar to pass freely from ri ht to left, but is confined to ceitain limits in its actions up and down, or in the direction of the length of the paper used. The writing if elIeeted with Mordan's patent pencils; and we have proved the efficiency of the invention, by writing a letter, with its guidance, while our eyes were bandaged so Jsloexclude thcsighl oi every object.

SAVAGE MURDER.—On the night of Wednesday week, in the neighbourhood of Farsley, a manu- facturing village, about six miles from Leeds, Jus. Benson, a native of Ireland, about 19 years of age, and his sister set out on their return home to Staiminjjley, about a mile and a half distant.— They had not proceeded far before 30 or 40 men, who appeared to be lying in ambush, suddenly started up, and instantly surrounded them. The young man received his death blow, but the sister fortunately effected her escape, not, however, without receiving several severe blows on the arm from a ruiffan who followed her a consillcrablc distanco. Benson expired about five o'cloek next morning. The horrid deed was perpetrated, it is supposed by some workmen, who had struck for wages, and quitted the employ of Mr. Hainsworth, a clothier, in whose service their unfortunate victim preferred to continue. MARCH OF MINII.-An instance of gross credulity occurred last week at North Niblcy, Gloucester shire, which h« cxc4iifet|Jtn this ad. vancing age. A poor child about a jrcaroK^sftfiniif by the fire in her parents' cottage, ,by some unfor- tunate accident fell forwards into the fire and was moch burnt. The mother was persuaded to take the Door infant to woman 11 at Wotton under-edge, who, repeating some incantation, told her she "eed "or seek any further assistance, as s'h? had charmcd it,The littlo sufferer gra dually became worse, and notwithstanding medical assistance, shortly afterwards died. A coroner's inquest was held, and the coroner very severely reprobated the cruel conductofthemotberand the witdt, and expressed great regret lie could noe punish the latter.—Hertford Journal Thursday the coroner of London held an inquest in Whitccross-street prison, on the body of James --he had been cnmmilted for 20 days, for a debt of ¡:)s" doe 10 a baker. The debt was originally £ l. 8s., but he paid off Ms,-thus evincing some honest intention, nnd being unable, from distress, to pay the rest, was thrown into the gaol, where he expired on the 19th day.-The widow stated that it was the first time he had been confined, and there was no doubt that his anxiety and excitement on the sohjoct brought his life to a rapid cJose, He complained of severe indisposHion on Wednesday morning, and in a short time he sanl1 ami expired. One of the wards- mcn being questioned about the law of imprison meut, stated that the last week he received three debtors, to be detained 10 days eaeh, and their deht" put altogether amounted to the sum of only 3s. 3d. One of them was elJlllmitted for the nOIl- payment ofsixpeuce!—Tho coroner, after briefly adverting to the circumstanrcs, said he should have been better pleased if it had been his duty to Umil11111 them together to save the man's life, by inquiring, immediately after his committal,whether he really had the means to pay the debt, so that if he had not he might not be imprisoned uselessly. Their province, however, was tu considcr the cause of hi, death, The jury returned 11 verdict of" Nil turnl Dcath.Tho coroner's n1{gcstjHn of calling a jury lhu" pecdily and cheaply to release the UiI- fortunate debtor by a more summary process than the Insolront Court deserves consideration. The Bumher of jurors might 00 reduced to six, so that lhe tlut, might not he irksome; al1d persons de- clared by thum to he fraudulent dehtors might he subject !o hard labour, or some morc severe punish meut than simple detent ion.

But should any intruders present them selves npon a Ilbtrict poscNwd by these troops, they all combine to assert what they think their uaturul rights. Du Maisonpre, and six. other llI1"op{'all!ll, witnessed a combat hctwecn two op- posite herds, that took place within the wall which surrounds the p"g-Ia of Cherringham, A large and powerful apc had got into the place, but was soon l'eco!(uised as all interlllper by the resident trihe, and upon the alarm being given, a number of males united iu an attack and although the intruder was much mure powerful than his assail ants, he soon perceived that he was to be over cume by their united strengths, alld fled for refuge to the top of the pagoda, which was eleven stories in height; but this did not screen hilll, for he "as closely pursued thither by his enemies,- Having reached the top of the dome, which was small IInd narrow, ho availed hilllscJf of tho secu- rity of the position. In this advantageous situa- tion, and by his superior strength, he seized four of the most forward of his pursuers, pitched thelll headlong to the hottom, and they were conse qucntly killed by the fall from such a great height. This proof of his strength somewhat damped the ardour of the rest, who, after setting up aloud and threatening chattering, judged it prudent to make good their retreat.
