THE CORDIAL BALM OF ZURA; OR, P1KENIX OF LIFE, And G run d iieanimator of Nature: Prepared and Sold, WMfSale and Retail, at Dr. LAMERT's LoudonlVledical Establishuient5Queen~ square, Bristol. JNTRODUCTION. DR. L AM ERT, in recommending the celebrated Cordial Balm of Zura; or, Phoenix of Life, to a discriminating Public, disdains the Idea of following the Steps of those Precursors, who, by a vain Display of a I iti le Learning, and a great deal of Ingenuity, mislead the Public; a Truth too frequently exemplified by Pretenders to Science if) the present Day. Actuated by a spirit <> f genuine Philanthropy, he feels it his highest Gratification to announce, that in the Balm of Zura, or Pheenix of Life, he possesses the means of alleviating, and by due Perseverance, of completely annihilating those insidious Disorders, which not only deprive Life of its every Enjoyment, but sap the very Foundation of ojtr Existence, and involve the Patient iu a Vortex of premature, but unavoidable Destruction. Governed solely by such Motives, so humane, genuine, and disinterested, Dr. t. canaot but ensure the Gratitude of the afflicted, the Approbation' of the good, and the sincere Benediction of Mankind. On that Assurance | » e takes his stand, and invites the Suffering to come aud be healed. ITS VIRTUES. u Like on€ condemn'd to leap a precipice, And sees before his eyes the depths below, ^ Stops short, and looks about for one kind shrub " To break bis dreadful fall ; so I look here " For friendly aid against the fpfM's of death." The PPUDLAL BALM OFZHRA, or Phcenix of Life, forms fhe most powerful, stimulating, and highly flavoured Mediciue in the whole Materia Medica. It is prepared from a u Asiatic Berry, strongly resemb- ling ihat of the English Whitethorn ; and was the Result of the Labours of the renowned Rembert Dodoeus, Physician to the Turkish Emperor and his Harem; In 1578, a most splendid Case of this in- valuable Cordial was sent by the Sultan to Queen Elizabeth, . and was taken by her Majesty as a noble Renovator of the whole System. It has been found by a most extensive and respectable private Practice, to be tjie most efficacious Medicine extant, for strengthening the Nerves, removing all Obstructions in the Stomach and Lungs, cherishing the Heart, reviving the Spirits, strengthening the Memory, promoting Digestion, dispelling Flatulencies, dis- persing the Heartbu rn and Choleric A flections, pre- vents Apoplexy, purifies the Blood, removes Scorbutic Eruptions as welj as Scrofula, and is of the highest PistincJion: in Gouty and Rheumatic Disorders, It vivifies the Spinal Marrow, and restores the Frame to Health and pristine Vigour. NERVOUS DISORDERS. In the tremendous catalogue of Diseases incidental to Mankind, those of the Nervous Description are the most complicate and di^ icult to cure. They resemble almost every Disease, and scarcely two Persons are affected in a similar Manner*, they are continually changing thei}- Action, Shape, and Con- dition, while, under every fresh Attack, the Patient feels. some Symptoms he ijpver before experienced. ' Mills the Mind often becomes a Prey to the most fatal Apprehensions, while the diseased Imagination forges those wild Chimeras, which perpetually haunt and distress the Brain. "'' The Sun as it were goes down on the Heart, and the Shadows of the Evening close in oji the Soul!" Such are fhe & t| Thoughts and distressing. Feelings which agitate that real . Object . of Commiseration, a Nervous Patient. To such, what a Treaaiire will be found in the Cordial Balm of Zura ; or, Phccnix of Life! The vital Prin- ciple, under its divine Operation, like the fabled Phccnix, springs from the Embers of a decayed Con- stitution, and rises to Happiness and Life, Reani- mated, Renovated, and F/ t/ ierealised. GENERAL SYMPTOMS. The Symptoms which precede, accompany, and follow this distressing Complaint are verv numerous. The follow ing are the most prominentGreat. De- pression of Spirits, Timidity, Starlings, Melancholy, Fickleness of Temper, Restlessness, Anxiety, and a painful Presentiment of Death. With ils Increase, frequent . Attacks of the Cramp, Head Ache, settled Pains in different Parts of the Body, the Eyes are clouded, a continual Ringing in the Ears, Dullness of Hearing, alternate Chills and Flushes of Heat, Weariness, Nausea, Loss of the Appetite, Decay of Strength, Burning Heat in tlie PWImsof the Hands and Soles of the Feet, a Sensation like that of cold Water running down the Back, the Pulse quick, weak, and irregular, parched Tongue, violent Pal- pitations of the Heart, Difficulty of Breathing, and Convulsions. It is not difficult to point out the Means of relieving the Patient, bi) t none have ever proved so powerful, so efficacious, as the Cordial Balm of Zura; or, SOLD BY D.

JOUN DYER. The Cordial Balm of Gilead. T is unquestionable that Affections of the Stomach and Bowels comprise the greater part of the painful maladies of adult and declining life, and by Flatulent nnd Spasmodic Pains, Indi- gestion, Sickness, and Irregular Appetite, lay the foundation for Dropsy, Liver Disease, Consumption, and Habitual Lowness of Spirits. From whatever cause this class of complaints arises, it is b^ st com- bated by an early recourse to Dr. SOLOMON'S COR- DIAL BALM of GILEAD,- a remedy of such approved efficacy in Stomachic and Nervous Dis orders, that the most obstinate eases are continually yielding to its use.

Ph< ynix, of jLife : as a Restorer of Strength to internal Decay, it stands unequalled, and may be relied on in producing immediate Relief in every Stage of Nervous Complaints. The immense Numbers re- stored to the full Blessings of Health within the last eighteen Months, from the very Confines of the Grave, will best vouch for its surprising Qualities, and a single Trial urge more in its Behalf, than all the Poweis of Rhetoric combined ! FEMALE COMPLAINTS. The; nutritive and cleansing Powers of the Balm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life, are peculiarly adapted to the Delicacy of the Female Habit and Constitution, under those necessary Operations, designed by the Great Creator, for the Preservation of H alth, the Continuation of the Human Species, and the Felicity of Domestic Existence. Ji removes those Obstruc- tions, which too often nip in the Bud the Promise of the future Blossom. It promotes the Secretions, and preserves the Course of Nature from Impediment; comforts, exhilarates, and supports in those import- ant and peculiar Periods, Puberty, Maturity, and tjie Change of Life : for the want of which, inanv of those lovely, . interesting, and valuable Ornaments of Creation sin'k into an untimely Grave. The most sovereign Remedy yet found, is in the exalted and inestimable Virtues of the Cordial Balm of Zura Phoenix of Life; the greatest Restorative of haunted Nature ; by a due Perseverance in which, the whole Muscular Fibres become invigorated, ali the Solids which were relaxed, are braced, every Office of Nature is properly performed. Seize then the Opportunity which offers, for the Cordial Balm of Zuia, or Phoenix of Life, possesses Powers which almost exceed Credibility, in restoring languid Na- ture, and invigorating the whole Constitution. COLD BATHING. Nothing is more conducive to Health than the frequent Use of the, Cold Bath, when not taken to Excess ; a single Immersion will answer every Pur pose ; for remaining too long in the Water is very injurious. ' Judiciously pursued, it braces the Fibres, and iu every Period of Life gives Tone and Vigour to the Body, it enables the vital Organs to perform their Function's, it hardens the Frame against Cold, Damp, and changeable Weather, and restrains ex cessive Perspirations. Sea Water, for stimulating cleansing, and bracing the Nerves, is far preferable to River Water for any Debility. To prevent any ill Sensation after Bathing, such as Trembling, Pain in the Stomach, Cramp, Giddiness, or Head- Aclie, take a Table- spoonful of the Cordial JJalm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life, Half an Hour before Bathing, which wHi- eomfort the Intestines, throw a warm Glow over the whole Frame, and Create an excellent Appetite with a good Digestion.

D r. ijOME Time since, I was attacked with a violent Disorder in my Face, supposed to he either the King's Evil or a Cancer. At first 1 thought it only a trifling Eruption, and that it Would go off upon my taking a few Doses of Physio; but iu this I was miserably disappointed ; for my Nighis and Days became intolerable, from the disagreeable Effects of tbe violent ichorous Humour, which spread in 1111 alarming Manner, and rendered iny Counte- nance horridly disgusting. In this deplorable Slate I applied to, and bail the Advice of, several Medical Gentlemen, all of whom exerted their professional Skill to no Purpose. Finding my Complaint slill increase, and tlie Efforts of tbe Faculty ineffectual, I became low spirited, and a truly melancholy and di- giisting Spectacle; no Sleep at Night; no Rest io tbe Day ; what Medicine to try, or how to obtain Ease, I knew not. Mv Friends were alarmed, and began lo make Inquiry among their Acquaintance for 11 Remedy. At length I beard of your far- famed PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS, & had them most strongly recommended to me by several respectable Persons who bad! experienced their wonderful Effects. A Bottle was procured from Owner Yeates, of Ihe Sail Warehouse, Ironbridge, by taking which I found immediate Relief; an amazing Alteration took Place ; I lie violent Itching ceased— the Humour disappeared ; 1 received tbe Congratulations of uiy Friends, and before the second Bottle was finished, I \ 111s free from either Evil or Cancer, and as well as ever I was in my Life. My Case being well known to many Persons in this Neighbourhood, who have tbe Com- fort of their Fellow creatures al Henri, tliey have requested me to send this lo you, in order to its being made public for the Benefit of those who are unfortunately labouring under similar Complaints.

SPAIN.— Accounts received by the friends of the Constitutionalists in this country state that the French were compelled to raise the siege of Coruuna on the 22d lilt, and ihe fact receives confirmation by the silence of the French Papej; s on the subject.^ — The French Papers received to- day state that the. j Duke of Augoitleme was to leave Madrid for SeviM. e, j on the 28th ult. and that his head- quarters were to ! be fixed at the- latter place. They also state'that ' the French forces were to attack, Cadiz on the 30th ult.— Some successes of minor importance: against the Ccmsthutionalists in various places are claimed for the French forces.— The blooKade ofPampeluna has been changed- into a siege. Lord . Nugent ( sayHucks Chronicle) left Liiiks on Tuesday last, to join the Spanish army. His first object is Vigo, to. join Sir Robert Wilson for a week or ten days; and then, unless he is de- tained in Gallicia, he will proceed to Cadiz, to devote himself and his services to the Spaniards. A letter has been received from Rome, dated the 16th, stating lhat the church of St. Paul, ex- tra muros, had become a prey to the flames. This church, which is one of the largest, the richest,, nnd most ancient in the capital of the catholic world,, was remarkable for the elegance of its interior structure, and the five colonnades of Greek and African marble which supported its naves. Twenty four of these pillars, of African marble,, were taken from the tomb of Hadrian, in what is now called the Castle of St. Ange| o. They Were,, when- the accounts of the 16th left Rome, buried under the joins— The health of his Holi- ness gave no further cause of alarm. PRICE OF FUNDS AT TIIE CLOSE.

CRICKET.— On Monday last, a match at Cricket was played between eleven gentlemen,' Junior Mem- bers of the Oxford Circuit, against eleven of the city and neighbourhood of Hereford, which termi- nated iu favour of the former by £ 8 runs. We understand Dansey Richard Datisey, Esq. of Easton Court, Herefordshire, is appointed Ste- vard for next year's Ludlow Races. Tbe statement of the death of tbe Bishop of Norwich is, we are happy to say, contradicted. The long article, which lias appeared'in several of the papers, headed, " The Lunatic and tbe Over- seer," is a fabrication.— The report noticed in some of the Papers of Capt. Parry and the North. West Discovery ships having been seen. at Valparaiso, is also stated to be without foundation. It is remarked, that if there be any hope for Ireland, it must arise from the promotion of re- ligious instruction amongst her peasantry. The following statement shows what bus been done in some parts, aud what remains to lie done iu others. In the province of Ulster, the proportion of scholars attending Sunday Sclio ds, to the population as taken in 1821, is' I to 17; in Leinster I to 92 ; in Connaught 1 to 206; in Minister, the most disturbed province of Ireland, I to 450. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 29.— Beer v. Ward.— This motion was argued before tin* Lord Chancellor In- day, bin he declined putting the Go- heiresses into possession, and tbe further argument is postponed till N" ivpmber. The afflicted will do well to consult Dr. I, AM CRT during the few days which he continues iu this vicinity.— See Advert. Dominican, or St . Mary's Friars.— On Monday last, as the workmen were removing a portion of the . upper part of tbe bank, and at a short distance below the surface, they came to a quantity of masonry, vi liich, on being cleared, proved to be a stone grave. 1 be masonry Of tlie sides and ends was wel l finish- ed, extremely thick, and evidently of considerable antiquity : it was covered with worked stone slabs, but had no stones at the bottom. The interior sas formed so as nearly to tit the human body ; aud on clearing it, a skeleton was discovered lying upon, and encased iti, fed sand, but there was not tbe least vestige of any thing- in- which tlie corpse niight. be supposed to have been wrapped or placed. The bones, on being exposed to the air, separated aud broke w ith the slightest pressure. Parallel to the above, and the masonry almost joining it, the men, yesterday morning, discovered another stone grave, of a similar shape and workmanship. This, also, on being opened ill the evening, Contained a skeleton, embedded in sand, and in every respect like tbe former one. The graves were made due east and west, and, judging from the height they were from the floors of the ruins that we noticed iu our Journals of the lllh June, and Kith and 23d July, prove tbe walls before discovered to have been originally situate under ground. AWFUL CATASTROPHE'.— A most awful and signal visitation of God occurred iu the Cathedral Church of Hereford, on Thursday last. As the Rev. Mr. Grettml, nephew of the lute Dean of Hereford, was officiating at the marriage ceremony of tbe Rev. Henry Hopkins, to Mrs. Smith, a widow, late of Bvford, near Hereford, nn tbe bridegroom opening tile paper and producing Ibe ring, he suddenly fell buck words on the floor, and, notwithstanding very prompt- medical aid was procured, iu less than leu minutes the vital spark was extinct ! A Coroner's Inquest was- held the same evening on the body, when it came out in evidence, that, although tbe deceased was extremely infirm, vet be was first at Church, where he waited with great anxiety and perturbation of mind the arrival of the bride, who did not appear till a considerable lapse of time after tbe appointed hour, which, it is supposed, caused the rupture nf a blood'vessel, and subsequent death. The jury brought in a verdict accordingly. Mr, lfd| iktus" appeared between 60 and 70 years of age, was a native of the neighbourhood of Dorsfone, that county, and served as Curate some years since sit Byford, near Hereford, when, during no illness, he experienced great kindness from Mis. Smith, who is u hoi it 4 0; oud, oo tbe death of her husband, be determined to present her hi,- blind in marriage, which proposal she declined till very lately. It is Worthy of remark, that Mr. Smith died suddenly in boat n few \ ears ago, in ferrying a person over tbe liiver Wye, at Byford ; and tbe person who officiated ns father to tbe bride on tbe present occasion, was an e- witnets to tbe awful deaths of Mr. Smith and Mr. Hopkins. On Tuesday last, the Annual Meeting of the Staffordshire Agricultural Society was belli at Lieli field Tbe show was not so large as had llCel anticipated, yet the stock exhibited was upon Ihe whole of a superior description. Viscount Anson': lii- von stock and South- down sheep, shown us extra stock, were pai'lie. lllarly noticed. Among the gen tlenien oir the ground were observed Viscount Anson, E. J Littleton, Esq M. P. Sir John Wrot- lesle. v. Hurt. M. I'. E Blount, Esq. E. Anson, Esq & c. & e.— Upwards of forty gentlemen afterwards dined at the George Hole', Viscount Anson in the hair, supported bv tbe two members fur the county Tbe Committee and company present appeared ttnatiiftious in their determination to support the interests of the Society ; and Ibe noble chairman, his speech, seemed particularly anxious for its welfare, anil hoped it would in future be bette attended to, as it was calculated to keep tip that unity and good fellowship that ought ever to exist betw een landlord aud tenant. ELOPEMENT.—- Miss A**'* s, the daughter of a gentleman residing near Bath, eloped on Thursday light with Capt. C***, well known in the fashion- ble circles of Bath. Tbe father of the lady arrived York- house next morning,, and, accompanied by. gentleman of very anxious physiognomy, imnie- iately set off in pursuit of the fugitives •• •" » '- northerly direction. The enamoured i through this city before five o'clock on Friday morning, and, it appears, had laid their plan well, ' laving- previously dispatched a person to secure elays of horses to be in readiness at every stage between Bath and Birmingham.' The pursuers were seven hours behind them, not having- arrived here till twelve o'clock on the same day ."- Gloucester Journal.

Universally and deservedly respected, aged 67. Mr. Edward Edwards, of Cor wen, Merionethshire IMPORTANT TO TITHE PROPRIETORS IN THE COUNTY OF CARDIGAN.— Chichester, Esq. Sheldon and others.—- This cause was heard befor the Master of the Rolls, on the 7th July last. The plaintiff, Colonel Chichester, is a very extensiv lay impropriator in, the county of Cardigan. The bill was filed for the recovery of tithe of wood cut by the defendants in the parish of Llanbadarh favvr, and which had never been paid or collected in that parish or in the county of Cardigan. The defendants rested their case upon the ground of immemorial non- payment, which they alleged amounted to a custom of exemption ; and after had been fully and ably argued, the Master of th' Rolls, reviewing the numerous authorities quoted by the defendants1 counsel, decreed th;: t, the plaintiff was entitled to the tithe of wood which had been cut down by the defendants in the parish of LI an badarn- fawr; and he directed the Master to ascer tain how much wood had been cut by the defend ants, including what sprung from stools or roots of trees, and that the defendants should pay the costs of suit. Bv this decision, the plaintiff not onl. establishes his right to the tithes of wood in the parish of Llanbadarii- fawr, but also in every other parish iii the county of Cardigan in which he is lay impropriator. Same V. Thomas and others.— In this cause the defendants contended that immemorial non- payment of hay tithe and milk tithe v( as an exemption, and also attempted to establish a modus in the parish of Gw- nnwsv' Nt they totally failed in doing so, and the Master of the Rolls decreed that non- payment for any length of time was no discharge, thereby establishing Colonel Chichester's right to the tithes which he sought to recover, and to the arrears, with costs. The annual Welsh Prizes, at Jesus College, Oxford, were this year adjudged as follows •— For the best translation of an English Sermon into Welsh, £ 10, Mr. Edward Jones.— For the best Welsh reader, £ 6, Mr. Robert Williams Ellis.— For the second best, £ 4, Mr. J.

SUDDEN INUNDATION— So violent was the fall of rain on Sunday night, the 20th ult. in the neighbourhood of Cwmdullyn, in the county of Carnarvon, that the Crychddwr, a small rivulet which issues out of it, threw down every Bridge which opposed the impetuosity of its current, till its junction with the Llyfnwv. Among these were a County Bridge, erected three years ago, upon the new line of road to Penmorfa, and another of more recent erection leading to Coedcaedii, the residence of Mrs H. Ellis. The destruction of the latter was so instantaneous and complete, that a girj returning, from milking was with difficulty dis- suaded from Crossing over it, at. a moment that the whole structure became a shapeless mass of ruin .

F the Old State Lottery Offices, 4, CORNHILL, and 9, CH A RING- CROSS, London, thinks it right to lay before his best Friends, the Public, some important Facts respecting the PRE- SENT LOTTERY. FIRST.-- It is a Government Lottery for £ 200,000 Prize Money, to be drawn according to the old regular System,— every Ticket singly each deciding its own Fate and no other. SECONDLY.— There are THREE £ 20,000 Prizes, Two £ 10,000 Prizes, and Thirty- four other Capitals, all Money, and £ 10,000 for the very First. Prize drawn out of the Wheel. THIRDLY.— There are MORE PRIZES THAN BLANKS! FOURTHLY, ( and the most important Point of all. J — The Tickets and Shares are very CONSI- DERABLY CHEAPER than they have been in any Lottery for Thirty- Years, owing to their being' all on Sale in the open Stock Market with the other Government Funds and Se- curities, Instead of being, locked up in the i Hands of Contractors, as heretofore ; but as by this System the Price of Lottery Tickets, like that of any other Article, will be in- fluenced by the Demand, there is every Probability of a very considerable Advance soon taking place* for T. BISH assures his Friends, that the Sale is great beyond Pre- cedent. The Arrangements of the Scheme, and the low Price of the Tickets having ren- dered this the most, popular Lottery that has been for many Years. Tickets and Shares are on Sale by BISH's Agents in the following Towns, of whom Schemes may be had, gratis. R. JONES, Cheesemo nger, SHREWSBURY ; B.

Mr. Serjeant Peake, in stating this; case, said, that a few years ago the plaintiff in this action inclosed some waste lands on the Cilcen Mountain, called Elys y coed, which is about a mile and half from Moel Famma ( the mountain whereon the Gentlemen of the county of Flint erected a Column in commemoration of his late Majesty having entered upon the 50tb year of his reign).— The then Rector made no de- mand for tithes; he, however, was succeeded by another gentleman, who unfortunately let the tithes of the township to the defendant, who called upon the occupiers for the tithes of these unprofitable and barren lands, which they rofused to pay, on the ground that they were not liable. Tiie defendant, lowever, commenced proceedings against them ; and the Court of Exchequer directed an issue to be tried, in which the defendants in the other proceed- ings w? re to* be the plaintiffs, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the lands in question, a, t the time they were tilled and brought into cultivation by the plaintiffs, were of such a nature as, exclusive of the labour of clearing them for the plough, necessarily to require au extraordinary expense of liming, ma- nuring, or labour, to bring them into cultivation — A variety of witnesses were called to prove the affirma- tive of ihe question, who spoke to the barrenness of the lands, the state they were in . previous to the attempt at cultivating them, the expense attending their cultivation, and the price per acre offered for some lands of a similar quality when put up by auctiou.- r- The plaintiffs' case having been concluded* Mr. Jervis addressed the Jury for the defendant, and then adduced evidence to prove the negative of tbe question. However, before he had proceeded far in the examination of his witnesses, it was agreed that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiffs; that all proceedings in law and in equity should be stayed; and that each party should pay their own costs, TAPPIN ?>. BROSTER. The plaintiff is. one of the guards of the Prince of Wales coach running from Shrewsbury to Holyhead, and the defendant resides at Bangor. This action was brought to recover the sum of £ 5.8s. for money paid by the plaintiff for the carriage of parcels to the defendant; and witnesses were called to prove that such parcels were delivered to the defendant, at stated times, with the amount of the carriage for the same; also, that the plaintiff, as guard, answerable to the proprietors for the carriage of all road parcels, that is, parcels delivered at intermediate places between Shrewsbury and Holyhead ; likewise; that in 1819, on defendant calling at the Mitre Inn, Bangor, to ask if there was a parcel for him, the landlord or. landlady replied there was, and on his saying he would send his boy for it, he was informed, they could not let him have the parcel without his sending the money, to which he: replied the plaintiff need not he afraid of paying for the parcels for him, as he would pay him again.— Mr: Campbell, for the defendant, contended that the phiiritiff must he non- suited, on the ground that the action should have been brought in the name of the proprietors of the coach. With this objection Baron Hullook con curred.— The plaintiff then called another witness, who was present when the plaintiff' asked the de- fendant for the money, and the latter said it was ail paid but 15s. ; and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for that sum.

DOE DEM. MINISTER & CHURCHWARDENS OF ST. JULIAN v. COWLEY. This was au action of ejectment instituted bv the, plaintiffs, to recover possession of a certain wall, ami' of a piece of ground adjoining the said Wall which formed part of Fish Street, in the town of Shrewsbury, from the defendant, one of the serjeants at mace belonging to the Corporation of Shrewsbury, who are in reality the defendants to the action.— The Case was opened by Mr. Bather, and stated by Mr. Jervis, who observed, that he should clearly and most indis- putably prove that the wall had for centuries be- longed to the plaintiffs; and with respect to the piece of ground, he read an extract from the old Street Act ( 29 Geo. II.), to shew that that Act did not extend to the preventing of the inhabitants of the town, on markets and fair days, from placing benches, stools, & e. in front of their houses and pre- mises, for the purpose of exposing . goods* & e. to sale. He then alluded to the practice of placing bulks and standings against the said wall, & c.; noticed the custom of the plaintiffs letting the same ; and said that for the last 18 years they had let it to the defendant, who paid 5s. per annum for it. He said he should prove that the defend^ tU made about £ 60 per annum of the property, and that he had received a regular notice to quit, but instead of quitting, be had only removed the sheds from the wall, and fixed posts in the ground to prevent them touching the wall.— Baron Mullock at this period asked Mr. Jervis if his clients had any right to the street, and said he doubted exceedingly whether they could even recover the wall.— Mr. Campbell endea- voured to shew the ground on which the plaintiffs claimed a right to the property in question ; but Baron Hullock asked him if he eter knew of an ejectment being brought to recover possession of ah highway? observing, " I certainly am of opinion that the plaintiffs have no right to the highway in this case. If they are dissatisfied with that opinion, thev can move the Court above.''-- PTaintid nonsuited. amin. ation of evidence commenced; pHiin^' fTs counsel , admitted that they mitlft' give up that part, of the case which charged the cutting down the stile.— The question then to be decided w » s, whether the footway ought to go along two pieces of ground belonging to defendant's farm, called Upper Mereg reaves and. Little Meadow, or whether it ought to go wholly along a piece of ground on the farm lately occupied hy plaintiff, called Lower Meregreav. es.— In the year 1814/ ( since which time law proceedings had. been pending) the defendant had taken up the stiles in the Upper Meregreaves and Liuie Meadow, thereby confining the footpath from Preston Boais to Upton Magna to the Lower Meregreaves wholly, instead of its first entering the Lower Meregreaves, and then passing along Upper Meregreaves and Little Meadow into the further end of Lower Meregreaves, at the ier » niii:< t 1 « « ^ » t- h piecg. it joined the highway to Upton Magna. Sixteen witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff, and they all concurred iu stating that the old footpath went across the Upper Meregceaves and the Little Meadow ; some of them said they had re- membered it, throng}* those pieces from 30 to 40 years ago, and that they never went any other road ; but several of theyi admitted that there were marks of a footpath along the whole of the Lower Meregreaves also, and that they had seen people go along it; and some of the witnesses' said they : had gone along it themselves, Mr. Pearson, for the defendant, said, the Jury would judge oTthe spirit in which this action was commenced, vvhen they considered that the fields along which both parties contended the footway ought to pass, were all the property of the same landlady, and that the plaintiff had actually now quitted possession of the farm on which the trespass was alleged to have been Committed. On the part of the defendant seven witnesses were called, all ot whom were well acquainted with the road in question for many years past, and they con- curred instating that the ancient footway was wholly along the Lower Meregreaves ; but that Mr. Pitch- ford, who, about 17 years ago, came into the oc- cupation of all the three pieces of land above- men- tioned, diver£ ed the road, so that it passed,, while the ground Wasjin his occupation, through the Upper Meregreaves and the Little Meadow.— Mr,. W, Pitehford was . then called, and he stated that in, the year 180( 1 be- became tenant of all the three pieces of ground in question, and having broken up the Lower Meregreaves for tillage, he diverted the footway, so as to pass along the Upper Meregreaves and the Little \ Ieado\ v, which were kept in grass, in order that persons who travelled that way might not have to pass for a considerable distance along a large ploughed field, into which he had . then converted the Lower Meregreaves.— Tiie testimony of this re- spectable wiHVess, confirmed as it had been by the evidence of seven others, was so conclusive that, without trOiHiling the defendants counsel to call any more witnesses, the plaintiff's counsel gave up their case.— Plaintiff nonsuited. JONES « WILLIAMS AND PARRY. The plaintiff Jones is. u mariner at Bangor, Car- narvonshire, where the defendant Williams also resided; the defendant. Parry lives at Cardigan.— The action was brought, to recover £ 80, the value of a sloop called The Diligence ; and there was another plea to recover the, valne of. the use of the same sloop for 13 months, the plaintiff having recovered posses s on , wf her-.— It was proved that on the 27th ol February, 18^ 2, : the defendants no reed to purchase the sloop in qiiestion, and that £ 10 had been paid down ; ihe. remainder was to be paid and a regulai assignment of the vessel made, at a future period. The bargain was not completed; and the plaintiff having re- possessed himself of the vessel, brought this action' jointly against the parties, first to recover the value of the vessel, and to force a completion of the purchase,; or otherwise to recover the amount due for the nse- Ofstite vessel for - 13 months during which the defendants had navigated her.— Mr. Campbell for the defendants^ sajd, he should prove that one- fourth only of the vessel Was sold to Parry, and that three- fii n r th s of 1) em ere sold to Wi 11 ia u> s, so t ha t, sepa rate sales beiiig made, of course the action against them as joint parties, for equal parts of the £ 80, or of the charge for the use of the vessel:, could not be sustained ; and lie should also prove that Parry had paid £ 15. 10s. towards his fortrth share • and that Williams had agreed with plaintiff and given in- structions to his attorney, in plaintiff's presence, to execute a mortgage to plaintiff, in liquidation of his debt for the three- fourths of the vessel, but that the plaintiff had never attended to execute the mortgage. — The cane of the defendants, as stated by Mf. Campbell, was substantiated in evidence, and the Jury relumed . a verdict/ or defendants. the deceased, at the time lie tirade' h'H'wil), was pet em to dispose of his property- or* not. The, jury, which was composed of seven, special jurymen and five M/ e. f',- retired to theG. mrid Jii- l'V Room to consider their verdict, and after deliberating for more than an hour, returned a; yeidicvfor the defendant, thereby establishing: the validity of the will.—* Tbis cause oc- cupied the court the whole of the day, the jury not returning their verdict until after eight at night, Oldham: and another v.. the Attorney Geneva /, was an aetion'of rather a singular character, and took up the attention of the'Court the whole of Wednesday. The merits of the case were ' briefly as follows : — Many years ago, a person of Ihe name of Samuel Oldham went from this country t< » . Calcutta, where he died, intestate, in the year 17& 6, leaving, a - very large property, both real ami personal.— Elizabeth Oldham and William Smith for his wife Charlotte ( late Oldham) claimed this property as co- heiresses, and next in. kin,' to the late Samuel Oldham. The property was- vested in- the Lord Chancellor, until it should be claimed ; and in the event of, no one prov- ing a legal right, to it, the property then would de- volve to the Crown. Hence the action was brought against Attorney General.- rrTl'ie plaintiffs had laid such evidence before tlie Chancellor, that he thought proper to send the case before a jury. The panel was composed of nine special jurors and three tales. The Chancellor, finding the - plaintiffs- had not the power to prosecute their claims, had ordered them £ 250 to assisi them Samuel Oldham, the- instate, when a boy, had I ived at AUes. ley, near Coventry. Me had been pvi- t apprentice to a weaver in that city, and afterwards went lo London. Fronj thence he went to the East indies, 1 he parish iegis'sers of Great Packinoton, Coleshilj', and other places had been examined, in support of the plaintiffs' claim, iu order to pro ye their affinity to the intestate. Several witnesses were • also brought forward to prove that Samuel Oldham was the relative the plaintiffs represented him to be; and he h? id frequently sent letters with money and other presents not only to his, father and step- mother, but also to some other relations, acknowledging them as Sfiich. The jury, after hearing a great mass of evidence, returnejla verxiict for the plaintiffs.-— The amount of the property has been variously estimated, some statement's- rating it as high as £ 100,000.

The plaintiff is a farmer, w! jo form; rly resided at the Isle Park farm, near Shrewsbury, and the de- fendant keeps a public- house, in Frankwell, Shrews- bury. In January, 1821, the defendant sold to the plaintiff a black mare, for ten pounds, which the latter said was warranted sound, and that on that condition he was to give him the ley of two colts for a certain period. In February, the plaintiff sold the defendant 14 strong store pigs, at £ l. 15s. per head ; towards which be paid £ 14. The black mare proved to be unsound, and died ; and this action was brought to recover the sum of £ 15 2s. arising from the ba- lance of the pigs, and for the ley of the black mare- and colts for eight weeks. Tlie question hinged upon the warranty of the mare and the bargain made respecting her. Evidence was produced on ea. ch side the question ; and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— damages 15. 2s. [ BEFORE MR. JUSTICE PARK J PRICE y. TOM KINS This was an action, which the Learned Judge be- fore whom it was tried said appeared io him to have been carried on in the pure spirit of litigation, as it would probably ( the matter having been iu Court before) cost the parties- from £ 200 to £ 300 for what could scarcely really interest them to the value of one farthing.— It was brought by the plaintiff against the, defendant, for trespass, charging that he, the defendant, had in the year 1819 wi fully cut down a stile belonging to the plaintiff, and also that he had committed a further trespass by di verting an ancient footway, and changing its course from his own land so that people passing along trespassed ou the phiintiff- s ground.— It appeared that the parties were boih tenants under the sane landlady on adjoining farms in the parish of JJpton Magna, arid that the footway so charged to be diverted went through the ground of the so we landlady let its course be- on which field it would, and further, that the plaintiff ha< l actually quitted his farm last Lady- Day.— Soon after the ex- WARWICK ASSIZES. Doe on Dew. of Sabin v. IV at ton and Edden, v, was an , action of ejectment. The plaintiffs, who are ' 1 f a person of that name, living at WVU^ boXirne; put in their claim to the estates in question, which are of consider bale value, as heirs at law of the late Mr. William Greenway, of Newbold, in the parish of Reddingtoti, where he had resided fyr the last ten OF twelve years. Previous to that time lie had lived at Butler's Marston, Warwickshire. Mr. Greeimay, died in 1820, at the age of nearly seventy.. « - l » V, 1- 814 he nmde a will, disposing of the greater part of hjs property to a person of the name of Eddejis, at New bold, who w as nearly related to his wife. ,, Mr, Eddeus died, and in 1816 he made the second will, again bequeathing the greater part of liis property to Mr. Walton, the defendant, at Newbold, another of his wife's relations. Besides what lie I eft. to Walton, he left £ 100 to another person, and some smaller legacies, excluding entirely his own relatives. Several professional gentlemen, who had trans- acted business for Mr. Greenway, at different periods of his life, tint more particularly within the last ten or fifteen years, described him to be a man fully com- petent fo conduct his own affairs; at least, it so ap- pearedtp them when they attended him for the pur- pose of receiving directions respecting the business lie wisheVl them to transact for him. The Rev. Mr. Hopkins, who visited him a few days before his death, and several other witnesses, deposed to the same e$ eet.~ In contradiction, the plaintiffs brought forward n » less than twenty witnesses, who swore that the deceased was a man, who, from the time of his birth to the time of his death, was never ca- pable of transacting any business whatsoever. That lie was a isiere- jdiot, and had all the iook « , ways, and actions of a iuau who had no mind, and thai, he could not tell white cloth from black, nor a rook from a pigeon. That he never gave any direction's, either in the ho it's ^ or oot of it, from his imbecility and in- capability to do so ; and that he could not count six penny w; orth of halfpence. The question for the jury to determine was, whether EXETER, ASSISES— Parker v. Barttctt and another.— Mr. Sergeant Pell, for the plaintiff, stated that this was an action of ejectment to recover pos- session o. f an estate called Shute, in this county, at present held hv the defendants, w ho were the sisters of the plaintiffVfather— a man at whose name the country had once trembled. The Jury would re- collect, that in the year 1797, the inhabitants of London experienced a visitation which nQi other great metropolis bad ever suffered, by the blockade of. her proud port, not by hostile navies, not hy a foreign fop, but by her own ships manned by British seamen. The leader of that memorable mutiny at the Nore was no other than Richard Parker, the father of the present plaintiff, John Charles. Parker. That unhappy man had at last paid the forfeit of his crimes, for many undoubtedly he had committed, but his death was memorable for the heroism which he displayed. He lived like a mutineer, but he died like a man; qiid in speaking of that event he might with great propriety use the language of the greatest poet that ever put his thoughts on paper — I spoke with one who saw him die, who did report That very frankly he confessed his treasons, Aud implored his Highness1 pardon, and made A very dfep repentance. Nothing in His life became him like the leaving it." Sijch was the man under whom the claim to the estates in question was now derived. The only ques- tion which it was hisduty to satisfy the jury upon, was the leoitinjaey of the plaintiff; because, if lie could establish that he was the heir at hjw of the last Parker, who was in possession of the estate, there could exist no doubt of his title. The learned counsel then stated the evidence which he intended to call to substantiate the plaintiff's case. Witnesses were called, who proved that the estate had. been in ihi* possession of Richard Parker's elder brother, and that no issue of his were now alive. Ann Parker ( the widow of Richard Parker) was then sworn, and examined by Mr. Serjeant Pell,— Her appearance in the witness- box created a eonT siderable sensation of curiosity in the Court, tq view the woman w ho had been related so nearly to one who had himself been an object of great pijblic interest. She was neatly dressed, and exhibited the remains of a countenance which must have been in youths uncommon! v beautiful. She stated that she was the mother of the plaintiff by her late husband, Riclfaid Parker, to whom she was married in the year 1793. Her acquaintance with her iate husband began in the year 1793, in Aberdeenshire, where she then resided. He was at that li ne a master's mate of a man of war. She lived with her father, who was a gentleman farmer. Her acquaintance with Parker first commenced at the ferry at. Le. itii, from tiie , boat of which he handed her, and ai the time he said he would never lose sight of . her. They were shortly after married at the Colgate, Edinburgh, iu the. presence of her brother, who is now dead., ai) d two of his servants. The clergyman's nam*:' who married them is Gord and is at . present alive, bijt insane. . The plaintiff, was born, in Edinburgh, ten months after the marriage. They visited Exeter in 1795. In tlie uionth of May, 1797, her. husband quitted her to join a ship ; j. t the Note ( she was then at Edinburgh) and she never saw him afterwards. He was buried at Sheerness, but she bad the body taken up and buried like a gentleman, at Whiteehapei church. The child ( the plaintiff) was sent to Ihe Highlands, and has been there ever since with her sister, whom she had visited froiii time to time. On her cross- examination she admitted that she knew a man named Hawkins, but had never told him that she had no children, and $ he thanked God for it. She was married to Richard Parker a second time, at the desire of his father, at St, Sitweli's, Exeter. The two servants who witnessed the marriage at Edinburgh were then examined, and proved that she was married according to the form ® of the . Scolch Church. For the defendants it was contended, that the whole story was a fabrication, and a witness was called to contradict Mrs. Parker. The Jury, without hesitation, fonnd a verdict for the plaintiff. SirG.

P. for this borough, was returning from the parish church, and walking towards Mr. Miller's bouse in Church- street, he was attacked by a ruffian of the t) aine of Andrew Ryding, late a spinner in the employ of Mr. Kav of tins place, armed with a butcher's cleaver. With this implement he struck Mr. Horrocks four times, and almost felled him to the ground, that Gentleman having received one cut through bis bat, and three others 011 bis left arm, in endeavouring to guard imself from tbe blows of the assassin. Ryding now brew the weapon at Mr. Horrocks, who seized it: Ryding then ran back to get a stone to finish his work of death, but was seized by two men, and secured. Although Mr. Horrocks lies dangerously . hopes are entertained of his recovery. The wretch had harboured in his breast, his bloody in- tention, it is said, for two years.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT -— Of the great number of accidents, many of ihem fatal, w hich lpive of late taken place by the overturning of coaches, we do not remember any that has created so strong a sensation as that which has this week been felt in Ihe West Riding of Yorkshire, from the melancholy catastro- phe w hich it is now our painful duty to record.— About two o'clock on Monday afternoon, the Royal Fleece post coach started from llilddersfield to Shef- field, by way of Peuistou, wiih 11 outside and 4 inside pasengers, amongst whom ihere were no fewer than nine methodist preaches, on their way to the quintal conference now silling ai Sheffield. In passing down the Slrects of llilddersiieid, Ihe driver. wilo isa young man of the name of Edward Smith, betrayed repeated indications of that impetuous disposition w Inch, iu tbe course of bis journey, was lo produce such fatal re. soils, and, in two instances at least, be naj- rowlv escaped running against oilier carriages. When lie got out of the town, his driving became more steadv, and Ihe coach proceeded iu safety to the bill called Shelley- hank, about six miles from tiudilersfield. On Ihe descent of Ihe hill he put his horses inlo full speed, observing, that " if he could not make them run up Ihe hills, he would make them run down." The coach, which had none of the wheels locked, gained increased speed down the bill, and when it cam,' near the bottom, at the curvy of the road within aboijt ten jards of the bridge, ii upset with a tremendous crash, and in an instant laid all the pas. sengi-) s piosirate on the giouud. A yenerahie old geijili'iiiiin nf the name of Sarueni, a preacher in the metiioilist connexion, who li^ i; l been last year sla. tinned al Scarborough, was thrown upon the ground with such ftinl violence, and received so much injury liulh externally and internally, that, after languish, in^ iu au adjoining cottage till Wednesday Pn ihe forenoon, he expired at nb' » ' it eleven o'clock. Mr. Edward B. Lloyd, of the Halifax circuit, unothc- r inelhudist preacher, was thrown by llie side of Mr. Saryeut, and so severely injured on the back aud loin-, thai he now remains ill Shelley in a state of ihe imisi imminent danger, paralyzed in the lower HX- 1 reiuiiies, and, we fearweinusl add, without hopes of recovery. Mr. Jugger, a tnethodist preacher, of South Pelherton, bad his shoulder dislocated, mid now lies al Thong, so much bruised that his recovery is considered doubtful ; and Mr. John James, of the Halifax circuit, late of Leeds, received so severe a ciush and sprain 011 ihe aucle, that lie deemed it prudent to return to Halifax, where, we are hnppv to sav, he is advancing towards recovery M r Sleph i'n Wilson of the ilnlmliith circuit, and Mr. Joseph Fearriside, of the Todulorden eiienit, w- re both bruised about ihe bead, fcul nut seriously ; aud Mr. John Heap, also of the Todninrden oin.- uil escaped without hurt. These seven reverend geu- tleui' ii were all oifiside passengers. Mr Zachari.- ih Yewilale, of the Halifax circuit, and Mr. Mntlhew Lnmb, of Toduiorden, were Imih within Ihe coach and Ihe former received a cut ou the head ; but the latter experienced no other inconvenience ihnn th. it which he suffered from the sudden concussion, aud fr. il/ the appalling scene presented by the sufti rings of his brethren around him.

Previous to t! ie trial of John Newton, at our Spring Assizes, for the murder of Iris wife, many au'd various reports were iu circulation respecting tiie conduct of tlie defendant ( who is one of the Colonel;., for this county), at the time of his holding the inquest upon tlie body of tiie deceased. Those reports soon attracted the attention of the Magis- tracy in the neighbourhood, whose exertions were the means of bringing Newton to that punishment which his crime so justly merited; and they, anxious that the couise of justice should flow in unpolluted streams, directed enquiries to be made as to the truth of the reports in circulation. The enquiries thus tirade atiording grounds 10 believe that the defendant hud not acted i. s that upright manner which the duties of bis important office required, an application was ( as noticed in our Journal of May 7) made to the Court of King's Bench, in Easter Term, bv direction of the Magistrates of the County in Sessions, for a rule to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for his alleged miscon- duct. On the 31st of that month the same was argued, aud the Judges, wishing the enquiry to proceed without prejudice 10 the defendant, gave no opinion on ihe bearings of the depositions, further than to say that there appeared ground for enquiry, and therefore made the rule abso- lute. On'Tuesday last it came 011 to be tried, before Mr. Baron Hullock and a Special Jury. The public anxiety respecting the trial was very great, as was evinced hy the crowded state of the Court from its commencement at half past nine o'clock in the morning' until its conclusion at midnight. The following are the names of the Jury ;— Robert Jenkins, Esq. Charlton Hill; Charles Morris, Esq. Newport; Henry Williams, Esq. Ketley; John Raveushuw, K- q. Uckington; Thomas Bishton, Esq. Ritckley Grange; Edward Edwards, Esq. plankton ; Thomas Lloyd, Esq. Osbaston.— COJI- moN Ji'RORS : Thomas Bate ; W. Partridge ; Sa- muel Adams ; W. Balland ; and John llirley.— Thomas Eyton, Esq. of Eyton, at his own request, was excused on the ground that, as a Magistrate of the county, he was one of the prosecutors. The information, after stating that John Newton, of Astley Abbotts, had murdered his wife, and that the defendant, being one of the Coroners of the county, had summoned 24 Jurymen, charged the defendant with unlawfully and corruptly, before the swearing of the Jury, calling before him divers persons, and asking- and enquiring of them the means and manner of Mrs. Newton's death : That, before the swearing of the Jury, he unlaw- fully and corruptly conversed with John Newton, well knowing him to be suspected of having caused the death of his wife by violent means ; and previous to taking the Inquisition, intending to obtain a large sum of money, and to pervert the due course of law, undertook to persuade the Jury that the said John Newton's wife did not come to her death by any unlawful means : That he wrongfully and corruptly said, it was not so bad a case as he expected, and therefore he should dismiss, and did dismiss, twelve of the jury- men who were, summoned on the said Inquest : That, after Mr. Coley had examined the body of the deceased, and hail deposed to certain bruises and circumstances ( which it is not proper to repeat here), the defendant, notwithstanding such deposi- tion, had undertaken to persuade the jury some- thing bad taken place which, according to Mr. Coley's deposition, could not have done : That a person of the name of Edwards, a tinman, had been at the house of John Newton, where he remained until a short time before the deceased came to her death ; aud that it appeared that the evidence of Edwards was material; vet the defend- ant, knowing this, did not summon him, but unlaw- fully omitted and declined so to do : That the defendant, well knowing there were bruises and lacerations on certain parts of the body, corruptly neglected to shew the same to the jury, hut told them it. was not necessary for them to view the body particularly. The Information was opened by Mr. RYAN, and stated by Mr. PEARSON, who, after calling- the attention of the Jury to the importance of the office of Coroner, and remarking upon the few cases of murder and assassination which take place in England, described the circumstances under which Mrs. Newton's death took place. These, having been fully reported in our account of her husband's trial, it is unnecessary to repeat. He then entered into a detailed account of the transactions which led to the present proceedings against the defend- ant, pointed out the evidence by which these transactions would be proved, and commented upon the parts which were material with remarkable force and ingenuity, concluding a long and ani- mated address by stating that " The gentlemen by whose orders I have received my instructions re- quire only that the interests of justice should be protected : they have suffered no particle of party feeling to enter into the account or actuate their motives : influenced by the same feelings, I have myself endeavoured to give an unadorned narrative of all that is essential to the ease that has been placed in my hands. I appeal only to your judg- ment aud your reason ; and permit me to observe, that, from that judgment and that reason, I cannot but anticipate a verdict." He then called Elizabeth Ward.- I live at Norley, which is about a mile and half from Severn Hall ; I knew the late John Newton; he lived nt Severn Hall, and held a farm there ; I also knew Sarah Newlon, his wife, and was in the habitof visiting thein ; she died on the 22d January this year, at Severn Hall, in the parish of Astley Abbotts ; I saw her body one or two hours after her death, and assisted to lay out the body. On Wednesday, the 27th of January, I was at Severn Hall, about 11 o'clock in tlie forenoon, and the Coroner came a short time after me. 1 saw hi in first in the parlour, where lie took off his clothes and put them to dry ; he asked for refreshment, and I put him something to eat. Sally Lloyd was in the parlour, and he asked her if she had any children, and whether she was a mar- ried woma' 11; she replied she had not had any children, having had a miscarriage, and lie then told her she may go. After, he asked me if I was a married woman, and had children; I told him I had ; he then said there had been many reports, and most likely they were not true, and aslied if Mrs. Newton had not some marks about her; I said she had ; he then asked nie if he could see Mr. Newton, and I said he could ; he desired me to fetch him, which I did ; Mr. N. went first into the parlour, and I followed him to the door. I did not like to stop, as I did not think it would look well for me to stop and hear conversation ; they remained together about ten minutes, and w hen I went there again Newton was gone out. The defendant asked me afterwards lo shew him the body, and I took him up stairs ; it was on the bed covered with a sheet. His son went up with us, but he left the room soon after. The defendant took the sheet oft', and examined the body. There was a bruise 0: 1- the one eye, which was very black all under ; a cut 011 the upper lip, which seemed to me as if a piece had been cut out; a bit. of a eil on the breast — I can't, say it was a bruise, although it may or may not: a bruise on the hand, and one ou the leg ; it was on tlie back of the left hand, and was very black, as if it had been trodden upon ; that on the leg was an old bruise, or . scald, or burn— it did not seein fresh. There was a large bruise 011 the body, which he did not look at. He remained but a short time, and then examined the clothes in the closet, and went down stairs. Soon after the defen< lant came, Mr. Whitinore arrived ; he is Newton's landlord, and was accompanied by his brother, Mr. C. Whitmore ; they and the defendant were con- versing in the parlour for two or three hours. Cross- examined by Mr. Jervis.—- Defendant found me and Sarah Lloyd in the parlour. I re- Ann Jones, examined by Mr. Russell.— I live at Column Green, which is about a mile from Severn Hall; I went on the day of the inquest to Severn tlall, and got there between 10 and 11 o'clock; my daughter Mary was in service there; I went up stairs, and saw the defendant conie out of the room where the body of Mrs. Newton lay; 1 heard Newton, who was in the door- way of another room, speak to him; Newton said " He hoped he ( tl. e defendant) would not make the worst of it, and he would satisfy him in any thing;" the defendant said, " I don't krfow how it will he yet.'* The defendant then went down the best stairs. Cross- examined by Mr. Puller : My daughter lived with Newton as nursery- maid; she had been examined several times on this subject before the Justices, at the Crown at Bridgnorth ; 1 accom- panied her; I live 3 miles from Bridgnorth; I can't tell whether she made an affidavit on this subject; she was hefore the magistrates; I was examined at Bridgnorth, before Mr. Loxdale and Mr. Vickers ; I was not with my daughter when she was examined before the magistrates ; I did not go in ; I was not examined before the justices ; I don't know what you mean by affidavit; 1 have put down on paper, aud swore to that paper, what 1 have stated to- day. Sarah Lloyd, examined by Mr. Ryan.— I live at Bridgnorth,* and bave been a married woman. I was at Severn Hall when the Coroner came. Eliz- abeth Ward was present. The Coroner asked me when Mrs. Newton died. I told him 011 Wednesday night: I could not say exactly what tinie. The defendant was very wet, and wanted to dry his clothes. I saw him in the parlour afterwards, and lie asked me if Mrs. Newton had any marks of violence about her, and I told liitn 011 which parts of the body they were. [ Witness described the different injuries as the former witness had done.] The defendant asked me if I was a servant belong- ing to the house, and I said not; I said I was a woman that worked there. I told him that Mrs. N. was iu the family way, and about five or six mouths advanced. He asked me who was the first person that came to the deceased, aud I said Mary, and he told ine to go and fetch Mary. James Millman Coley, Esq. examined by Mr. Pearson.— I am a surgeon and apothecary at Bridg- north, and have practised extensively for 20 years. I was present at the inquest on the body of Mrs. Newton, at Severn Hall; I received a note from Mr. Whitmore, and a summons from the Coroner; when 1 arrived at Severn Hall, I found the Coroner there ; I accompanied him to inspect the body ; it lying in a chamber up stairs, aud coyeied with a sheet; I observed a bruise 011 the temple, a black eye, and a cut 011 the upper lip; the face was much disfigured by these marks; I saw a bruise and kind of laceration near one of the arm- pits ; it had been recently inflicted; I observed a mark on one of the shins ; it. appeared to be occa- sioned by a kick, but certainly not by a burn or scald, the defendant had an opportunity of seeing these injuries. I made a remark about the injur; 011 the shin, and said to Mr. Whitcombe, " this looks like a kick ;" he replied, " Oh 110, it's a burn, she has burnt her shins at the fire." I observed an injury on one of the hands, it appeared as if great violence had been used, it was black, and one of the fingers appeared to be dislocated or fractured ; the defendant could not avoid seeing it; the hand was lying' by the side of the body, and 1 have no doubt it was covered by the sheet. I do not recol- lect remarking anv other external marks at that time. Defendant said, " Mr. Coley, I understand this woman has died of flooding," and asked if 1 hail ever attended her on a similar occasion ; I said I did not recollect that I ever had. I had attended her for the last 7 or 8 years on her confinements and on other occasions. He then asked ine? if she was subject to fits, and was a woman of strong- passions ? I told him I did not know she was sub- ject to either. [ At the suggestion of the defendant they proceeded to examine the internal parts, and during the progress of the operation the defendant conversed with Ihe witness, who proceeded to de- scribe the appearances on dissection, which are not proper to notice here.] A severe external bruise was also discovered, and I have no doubt the internal Injuries and the external bruise were both caused by the same violence. I do not recol- lect that I said any thing on the subject then to the defendant respecting my opinion, but I did before the jury, and 1 shew ed the defendant the injuries. I said there had been 110 flmuling, aud he seemed to doubt; he seemed to think there had ; I told him the reasons why that w- as impossible ; be seemed doubt- ful and sceptical; I treated his opinion with con- tempt ; he was obstinate and perverse. On exain- ! : the head, I found several bruises on the out- he said there was no additional evidence to render such a measure necessary. I told liim I thought my examination at the inquest was not sufficiently full ; he said it was as. full aud satisfactory as it could be, and that I could not possibly have gives a better evidence ; I told him 1 thought he should have asked me n. ore opinions 011 the subject; he said if I had given my opinion he should not have recorded it, for a medical man, iu giving evidence, ought to confine himself to facts, and medical opinion could not be taken as evidence at an inquest. The defendant also said he thought it very probable that the lacerations had arisen from bursting of themselves, or from strong passions, or hard labour; I made 110 reply ; I compared the depositions, and he said they " had better not subpii'ria him ( the Coroner), for if they did it must he iii. the prisoner's favour This was after he had said he had no doubt that Newton had killed his wife. I then signed the fair copy of the deposition. I was at Shrewsbury at Newton's trial ; I went to give evidence; I saw the defendant iu the C'ourt just before the trial began ; I had conversation with him in the Court; he said " Mr. Coley, you are come ou Newton's business, I suppose ;" this was a short time before the trial began ; he also said, " we must do w hat we can to get him off." I saw him after, and lie seemed in good spirits, but made no remark. Cross- examined by Mr. Jervis,- I had attended Newton's family for several years ; I discontinued my visits 011 account of h is irregular conduct; Mr Hall attended Newton's family after me. I believe the defendant resides at Cleobury Mortimer, which is 16 miles distant. I arrived at Severn Hall about hi If past one ; I found the defendant in the parlour with his son, Mr. Whitmore, and Mr. C. Whitmore ; it was a snowy or a rainy day ; I found a number of men in the kitchen. Soon after, ! went up stairs to examine the body, and defendant said he under- stood she died of flooding*. On the examination of the body I pointed out the laceration to the defend- ant. I observed a quantity of coagulated blood On the parts ; I cannot say whether it was veinous or arterial blood. I'neyer g- ave my opinion that her death was occasioned by that wound only. I exa- mined the head, and expected to find fractures. I examined the . brain, and turned it, but there was no injury whatever on the inside. I did not examine the chest, for there was no injury on it, only near the arm- pit— none on the breast in particular. I was about an hour and half examining the body. On going down to the Jury I was examined. I could have told the Jury all that I had seen or heard, but I thought it. was the duty of the defendant to ask. I was interrupted once ; I was going to detail the facts in my own way, and the defendant stopped me; he said, " Mr. Coley, on opening the head, you'll say." I call it dictation. I wished for the defendant to ask me questions. I said, on open- ing the head and body I did not discover any injury of itself sufficient to cause the death of Mrs. New- ton." I described all the injuries received, on my examination at Shrewsbury. The defendant never asked me the cause of her death. I did say the effect of such an injury ( the principal one) would be loss of blood, and, if the party lived long enough, mortification of the parts. 1 did not give evidence of this as the cause of her death, for that would have been evidence of opinion only. The defendant did not tell me what to say as to matter of fact, and he left nie to give- my opinion if I thought fit. His observation Occasioned a bias on my mind— it made me more reserved. I do not recollect Mr. Whitmore saying, " It will be a great relief to the Jury, Mr. Coley, if you will state what you think of the woman% s death." He did ask me soipe questions, but I do not think he asked that. The Jury were a few minutes absent on viewing* the body. Re- examined by Mr. Pearson.-— I consider Mrs, Newton's death occasioned by loss of blood, and the pain and general concussion arising* from the assault. Mr. Barber, surgeon, examined by Mr. Camp- hell.— I was assistant to Mr. Hall, of Bridgnorth ; attended the inquest at Severn Hall, and arrived between 10 and 11; I and the defendant examined the body before Mr. Coley came. I was present at member Sarah Lloyd mentioning " flooding" to the defendant; she had known Mrs. Newton to he in that case before, but never so bad. _ I think this • was before tiie defendant asked her if she was a married woman. When defendant spoke about Mr. Newton, he said " Is Newton in the house?" There was a cousin of the same name up stairs with Newton ; he did not come down . with him ; I am sure of that. Newton and the defendant were about ten minutes together, and during part of the time the other Newton might havecnule down and joined the defendant and Newton. 1 did not mention the other bruise to the defendant, nor say anything to lead him to examine that part.. Was present when the, defendant examined the clothes iu the closet; there was a great deal of blood on them. The other clothes had been put into water in the ds^ iry, and were frozen together. Re- examined : The defendant had not said any thing to Sarah Lloyd about, flooding until she mentioned it; I cannot tell how the conversation began. Further cross- examhied: The defendant s son may have been present during the conversation of Sarah Lloyd, but not all the time. Further* re- examined : He was not in the parlour after Newton came into the parlour. side, which had been occasioned by violence. I did not examine the chest; I felt inclined to do so, and expressed my wish ; the defendant asked me if I expected to find any thing' worthy of remark in the chest ; I told him that I did not, and there- fore the examination did not take place. Just before the defendant left the room after the dissec- tion, he said, " I see, Mr. Colev, this appears a very simple business ; no criminal proceedings can arise out of it; I have summoned 24 jurymen, but I shall retainoniy 12and dispatch 12," or words to that effect: this was after the defendant had inspected the bruises about the head and other parts of the body. He went away hastily down stairs ; but; before he left the room, I told him that I did not under- stand the nature and consequence of the step he was about to take respecting the Jury. A very short time afterwards, while I was washing* my hands up stairs in the room where the body lay, I sent a message to him. He came up, and I said I felt dissatisfied with the proceedings he was going to adopt respecting* the jury ; 1 told him he must take all the responsibility about the jury on himself; he said c< Oh ! certainly, there is not the least necessity for more than 12 jurymen." I was present at the inquest— twelve jurors were sworn. Before they were sworn, the defendant said to those assembled, " Gentlemen, I am happy to inform you, this is not so serious a business as we apprehended— nothing criminal can attach to any one; only twelve jurymen will be necessary :" and in consequence of that, part of the jury went away and part stayed. After they were sworn, he said, " Gentlemen, it is necessary for you just to take a view of the body." I did not accompany them up stairs; I do not recollect whether the defendant did or not. On the jury returning* down stairs, the examination commenced, and one of the servants said Mrs. Newton, when she was ill, called for Will, the waggoner— this was on the night she died— and she said Mrs. Newton shook hands with Will ; on which the defendant said, " This looks like an improper connexion !" I heard the servant say, that Mrs. Newton said to Will, " Good bye, God bless you, Will," or words to that effect; I gave evidence before the inquest, but before then. Mr. Whitmore asked, u Who is Will ?" and soon of the jury said, there cOuld be no cause for such a suspicion, as he was a mere boy. 1 saw a copy of my deposition before the jury. This document ( put into witness's hand) is the original deposition • signed by me ; 1 examined it with the one signed at Bridgnorth ; they agree. The deposition pro. dueed ( the original) does not contain the whole of what I said at the inquest; I stated minutely the different injuries upon the nody,. and I think they are omitted ; those I have stated to- day— they are not recorded ; I am not certain that I desci ibed the injury on the shin, but I described the others; the principal injury I said proceeded, I thought, from a kick or blow ; the defendant asked me if it might not have happened from Mrs N. falling over a stile; I said I thought it. might possibly happen from that cause, but I did not think it probable, for if she did fall, she must have fallen upon some, thing pointed. He asked me what might, be the consequence of such an injury ; I said, loss of blood, and, if the woman li ved long* enough, morti- fication of the parts. He then asked me where the bleeding* came from, and I told him from the laceration of the parts ; I recollect saying I saw no proof of the extent of'the loss of blood ; 1 was shewn some clothes that haft been washed, but there was no blood on them. On the inquest I observed, that the bleeding would be greater during pregnancy. The defendant never asked me the cailse of her death; I was sent for to a patient,, a distance off, Who was dangerously ill, and had the defendant's fermission to go, as soon as I had given my evidence. saw the defendant again on or about Wednesday, the 12th of February ; Newton had then been taken up and committed on suspicion of murder; the defendant, called at my house, which is about 13 mites from his ; he asked me to sign a fair copy of my deposition at, the inquest. I read the fair copy, and told him that Newton had been committed on suspicion of being guilty of the murder. He said a Magistrate may commit upon suspicion, but a Coroner could not, he could only commit upon facts ; that he had no doubt, in his own mind, that Newton killed his wife, but the facts were not suffi- ciently strong to find him guilty. I told him that the public and the jury were very much dissatisfied with the verdict given at the inquest, and asked hiiiji if it was not possible to hold another inquest on the same body. lie said it could only be done by an application to the Court of King's Bench ; but the dissection, and examined hefore the . jury. [ Witness's deposriion before the: Coroner put in and read.] In this deposition ( signed by the witness) it was stated that Mrs. Newton had died from loss of blood, hut not from auy blow or violence. I did not say, ou the inquest, that Mrs. Newton's death was occasioned by loss of blood, and not occasioned by any blow oryiolence, nor any words to that effect that I recollect. Cross- examined by Mr. Serjeant Peake.— I will swear that I did not use such words. , Mr. Hall ( my employer) was medical attendant to Newton's family. I went, Mr. Hall being* ill ; I saw the clothes, and observed there had been an extra- ordinary discharge of blood. I applied remedies for stopping the blood, such remedies as are some- times applied in cases of flooding, I was the only surgeon present until the defendant came, and he desired some eminent person should be sent for. Mr. Coley was sent to at the instigation of the defendant; he desired that Mr. Coley, Mr. Hall, Mr. Proud, or some other person should be sent for, on account of my not having* had sufficient expei- i ence. I said, upon the inquest, that. the death arose from hemorrhage and concussion of " the body. I signed the deposition [ now put into his hands] taken before the defendant; it was read over to me before I signed it ; I do not recollect that I read it over myself, and, after so doing*, saying it was perfectly correct; what I heard read over was perfectly correct; I cannot say the whole was read over; the words " that Mrs. Newton had died from loss of blood, and not from any blows or violence," which are at the bottom of the deposition signed by me, were never read over to ine before the Coroner's Jury, as I recollect. Thomas Canlin examined by Mr. Russell;.-— X am assistant to Mr. Coley, the surgeon ; I accompanied him to Severn Hall on the day of the inquest; 1 assisted in the examination of the body; I also examined one of the fingers— it was broken. Mr. Coley pointed out the different injuries which the body had received ; the defendant was present, and he pointed them out to him. As we entered the house we met Mr. Barber, who said that Mrs. Newton had died by flooding ; Mr. Coley gave his opinion that she had not, and the defendant said, " God bless me^ where can the hemorrhage come from 1". The defendant, on leaving the room, said the nature of the offence did not require more than 12 jurymen, and he should send 12 home and retain the others Mr Coley sent me for defendant, again ; I did not hear what passed. I was before the Coroner on the examination of several witnesses y either Sarah Lloyd or Mary Oliver said that Mrs. Newton called for Will, the waggoner, when she was ill, and shook hands with him, and said " Gad bless you." The defendant remarked that this looked like an improper connection.: Mr. Whitmore asked who Will was, and one of the jurymen said " the wagg- oner;" and another answered that there was no g* round for suspicion, as he was a mere boy. Mr. Coley, before the jury, said the ^ bleeding was caused by a kick or a blow, or some - external- violence. The defendant said " don't you think it possible to be done in getting over a stile?" Mr. Coley said, if it had, something* pointed must have caused it. Thomas Blakeway Roberts.— I was present when Ann Jones was sworn to an affidavit. John Loxdale, Esq.— I am the attorney conduct- ing the prosecution ; the affidavit was not taken until after the rule nisi was granted. Dr. Du Gard, and Mr. Humphreys, surgeon, cor- roborated the evidence of Mr. Coley, as to the impossihi 1 ity of Mis. Newton dying from flooding. Joseph Davies.—\ was Foreman of the Jury on Mrs. Newton. I - remember the defendant saying1 that there were 24 summoned on thejyry, and that, as the case was- not so bad as be expected, lie should release one part. He and the constable called over the list, and kept the first 12, and the others were released. The remaining 12 wer$ sworn. After being sworn, the defendant told us to go up stairs, and see that the body of Sarah Newton was there. We went up— to the best of my knowledge I. did not see the defendant present. The j urOrs only j ust went into the room and saw her face ; the body was covered with a sheet; it was not removed ; they did not touch the body they; did not know that they were to do so. When the. jury were sit- ting, the defendant asked Willi am Bae he, th e wag- goner, if Mr. and Mrs. Newton had had words and he said it was about a lantern— something about a bill. Edwards, the tinman, was not sent for or examined. The jury retired to consider their v. er diet. I gave in the verdict, " that she died from the loss of blood." The defendant turned his head towards Mr. Whitmore, and said, " We'll say she died by the visitation of God." Mr, Whitmore said, <( No, put it down as the verdict is given in. 1 Cross- examined by Mr. Puller.— It was a bad snowy day, and froze very hard. None of the. jury had applied to the defendant to , be . released as I know. The. jury were from three different parishes, Astley Abbots, Tasley, and Morville, 4 from each. John Jones, examined by Mr. Russell : I was one of the jurymen; we were in the kitchen; I remember the defendant coming into the kitchen, and saying he was sorry to have kept us there so long, but he was happy to say the case was not so bad as he expected, and he should only want 12 instead of 24 jurors. After 12 jurors were sworn, and the other twelve went home, he desired we would g* o and view the body, and said it was not necessary to do more than see that the body was there. A female? when giving* evidence before the jury, said something* about bleeding ; the defend- ant asked her how she knew that, for she did not know it when talking* to him in the morning. One of the witnesses spoke about Edwards.,, the tinman, being there the evening Mrs. N. died ; the defend- ant must have heard it. I heard Mr, Coley say the injury was occasioned by a kick or blow. The defendant, in his address to the jury, said that one of the witnesses said the deceased was subject to flooding, and that she had been working* hard that day in brewing and baking, and that might have occasioned it. After this, I asked the defend- ant to read Mr. Coley's evidence again, as I was, not satisfied ; he read it over again, and on speak- ing* about the bruises, he said she may have done that by getting over a stile or some other way by a fall. I heard the foreman give the verdict, and the defendant, on receiving* it, said, " Died by hemor- rhage— consequently by the Visitation of God ;" I said, " That is. not what we mean, our verdict is, that she died by the loss of blood ; but how occa- sioned, we could not find." The defendant looked at. Mr. Whitmore, and asked how it should be entered ? and he replied, " as they return it, to be sure." Cross- examined by Mr. Corbett: It was a wet, comfortless day ; I was one that asked the defend- : ant to let me go home. Stephen Braithwaite, examined by Mr. Ryan.— This witness, who was on the Jury, spoke to the dismissal of part of them, and to the defendants observation respecting Will, the waggoner; also that he said, " We'll haye Will called, and if his deposition is worth taking*, we will take it." Mr. Coley said the injury proceeded from a kick or a blow. Ou going* to view the body, the defendant said it w;; s only necessary to see there was a body there, when the, jury went up stairs. The jury saw no part of the body except the face. Cross- examined by Mr. Jervis.— I know the defendant by sight; he went with Us to view the body ; I believe he went out of the room after and left us ; the body had been opened ; it was covered with a sheet; we might have removed t| ie sheet if we had thought fit; we were in the roo, m ahout half a minute. The depositions were laid upon the table for the jury to sign. Mary Jones.— I lived servant with Mr. and Mrs Newton ; I was examined before the jury ; the defendant asked me if I remembered Edwards, the tinman, going from Newton's on the night Mrs. Newton died ; I said, I did. Before the Inquest, I Was called into the parlour by Sally Lloyd, and the defendant asked me what my mistress was doing on the day she died? I said she was brewing and baking; I told the defendant that I was sent out on the night my mistress died, and on my return I found my mistress lying on the floor with her feet towards the fire. He asked me if there was any blood about the floor, and I told him there was. He asked me from what part the blood came, and J said that I did not know. I did know, but I did not like to tell him, but I did tell when sworn before the jury. To ihe Judg* e.— It was about 8 o'clOclc when I saw him; Edwards was with my master in the parlour when I went, and my mistress w$, s in the brewhouse ;• I told the defendant where I left them when I went; I knew what Edwards came pbout. Mr. George Edwards.— I am a tinman, Bridg- north ; I was at Severn Hall on the night Mrs. Newton died ; I went with a bill, and I saw John Newton in the parlour ; he asked me to g* o in, an4 I went. Mr. JERVIS said, that before evidence of what tooi$ place between Edward? and Newton was given, it was i> pcessary to show tb$ t the defendant was ac- quainted with it. Mr. RussELk said, that one of the allegations in the indictment was, that the Coroner had neglected to examine Edwards, who could give important evidence. Mr. Baron HULLOCK: said, that the allegation being, that he, having knowledge that such a person might give evidence, ought to have summoned him, it must be proved that he did know. [ Witness withdrew] Samuel Clayton.— I was one of the jury ; I told the defendant I was not satisfied how she camp by that bruise on her lower parts, and be turned his head round to me, and said, " Do you want to hang the man ?" Cross examined by Mr. Jervis.— It was not said very loud ; I was nearest to him. By the Judge.— Were the words," Do you wish to hang the man," said in an under tone? Yes, my Lord. Richard Morris, constable.-^- rl was present at the Inquest ; I did not hear what was said to Clayton ; I heard Clayton repeat it after he went out. Mr. Henry Vickers.— I am an attorney at BridL north ; I was employed by the relations of Mrs. Newton to prosecute her husband. The week after the inquest, I saw defendant; I told him that I appeared on behalf of Mrs. Newton's relations ; that the country was dissatisfied, and I understood the jury wished to alter their verdict if they could, and I wished to know whether he would do any thing further in it. He said, that he thought the jury had acted perfectly right in the verdict they had given, but he supposed there was further evidence. He said he had no doubt in his own mind that Newton had been the cause of his wife's de^ th, but there was no evidence to prove that, or words to that effect. Mr. John Woodward.— I am an attorney, at Cleobury Mortimer, where the defendant resides I have known him above 20 years ; be practises as a surgeon and man- midwife ; his practice is con- siderable, and has been so for 20 years. He is a member of the College of Surgeons. Cross- examined by Mr. Puller.— I know he was in the sea service, also a Captain in the Volunteers and Militia ; he bears a high character as a pro- fessional man and as a gentleman. He was elected Coroner 3 or 4 years ago. Mr. R. Bird " produced an examined copy of John Newton's conviction last Assizes, which was put in and read; Mr. Bellamy produced the inquisition, and read the verdict given by the Jury on the 27th January last. This closed the evidence for the pro- secution. Mr. Serjeant PEAKE took an objection to the proceeding's, on the ground that, in the preliminary matte** it appeared the Coroner summoned 24 jurors, and the Inquisition only stated 12: this, he con- : tended, Ought to have appeared upon the record. His objection was, however, over- ruled by Mr. Baron HJULLOCK ; after which, Mr. JERVIS rose, and addressed the Jury for the defendant; in doing* which, he admitted the pro- secution to have beeu instituted from the best of motives, by Gentlemen of the hig- hest rank and notice in the County. It was, he said, a grave and inportant question which they had to decide ; but they were - not to decide upon the mere misconduct alone of the defendant; they must, before they could come to a Verdict of Guilty, be perfectly satisfied that he had; been guilty of . criminal and corrupt conduct in the execution of his duty as one of the Coroners of this County. The Information, he observed, was divided under different heads, but the evidence had been applied generally ; he would, however, simplify the case, and shew them how small the portion of evidence was, that applied to each. After reading* the charges from the In- formation, as stated in the outset of our report, specifying* the testimony applicable to each, and commenting thereon with his usual energy, he pro- ceeded to shew the nature of the evidence that would be called on the part of the defendant; and iu the performance of this part of his duty, the Learned Counsel repelled with indignation the charge of the defendant having acted with subserv- iency to Mr. Whitmore, a gentleman whom his client did not even know. After applying the facts which, he said, would be proved by the witnesses he should call, aticl asking* the Jury if they thought it possible that an individual holding* the rank and station which the defendant did, could so far forget himself and his duty as to endeavour to pervert the course of justice for a person like Newton, whom also he had never before seen ? and after contend- ing* that there was not the least proof of any corrupt motive actuating his client's conduct; he concluded a most animated and energ* etic address, by calling upon them to give that verdict which would restore peace and happiness to the mind of the defendant, and be most gratifying* to their own breasts. The following evidence was then adduced. Thomas Whitmore, Esq. M. P.— I reside at Apley, in this county, of which I am a magistrate ; Newton was one of my tenants, aud resided about two miles from my house. In consequence of the death of Mrs. Newton, Littleford, overseer of the parish in which Newton lived, came to me and desired I would send an order for the Coroner to attend at Sev; ern Hall ; I told hi in that I had no power to g* rant such an order ; that it was the duty of the parish officers to send to him, and if they did not do it they would be sure to be amerced. I attended . the Coroner's Inquest with my brother, and enquired if the Coroner had arrived ; he was, pointed out to me ; I think he did not know me, for he addressed me as Sir Tyrwhitt Jones. It was a very bad. day, it froze very hai; d, and snowed several times ; we had some difficulty in getting* to Severn Hall. I told the defendant I was a Magistrate, and attended at the request of some of the parishioners ; the defendant said he wished the magistrates would attend oftener than they did. He told me that, from enquiries and observations, he had reason to think that Mrs. N. had met her death from flooding*. I replied he would be better able to judge when he had heard the witnesses. Mr. Barber, the surgeon, asked me if he was obliged to stop and give evi- dence ? I told him, if he was summoned he was, and it would be at his peril if lie left the house. The defendant said he was not satisfied with that young man, as he was not a reg* ular surgeon, and he stated his wish to have a person from Bridgnorth who was a person of eminence. I therefore g* ave him several names, for fear one might be out; and I wrote a note to Mr. Coley, requesting he would attend. The COns. table was dispatched with sum- monses for them, and it was upwards of two hours before Mr. Coley arrived, Mr. Coley, on his arrival, went up stairs and examined the body. I and my brother and the Rev. Mr. Bate remained in the parlour ; there were several jurors assem bled, but they were in the kitchen. After the examination had taken place up stairs, the defend ant came into the parlour, and said he was happy to fin. d that it was not so serious an affair as he was led to suppose, and that 12 jurors would be quite sufficient. The defendant said he was a perfect stranger in the country, and he should he obliged to ine and my brother to assist in selecting the jury. On looking over the list I saw the name of a man who had fought with Newton, and I thought him an improper man to serve upon the jury, asked the defendant if he was empowered to dismiss 12; he opened a book, and said he had the power of retaining* 12 or 24. M v brother mentioned one that had had a quarrel with Newton, and he was also rejected. I sugg- e& ted that it would be best to select four from each of the three parishes. Six of my tenants had bee\ i summoned'; four were se- lected, and two rejected. After the jury had been sworn, they went up; after viewing* the body the examination commenced before the defendant. The defendant desire^ I would examine any witnesses I thought proper. I sat. near the defendant; the room was small, and we were all near together, heard Mr. Coley give his testimony before the defendant. I asked Mr. Coley if he could in any way account for Mrs. Newton's death ; I said " it is particularly necessary the jury should be made acquainted with the particulars of Sarah Newton's death— can you state the immediate cause of her death ?-" and his reply was, " I cannot." 1 heard the seyeral Witnesses give their evidence, and heard it read ov^ v ; it appeared to me fairly taken down by the defendant. I thought some of them were very loth to give any evidence at all. I heard the deposition of Mr. Barber ; it was read over to him ; he signed it immediately. If there had been any material variance in giving the evidence and the mode in which the same was read, I think I should have observed it. They were young* women chiefly who were loth to give evidence, and they might have done it from motives of modesty. 1 never attended an inquest hefore ; I have attended inquiries. This appeared to me impartially and fairly conducted. Cross- examined by Mr. Pearson : T. first men- tioned Mr. Coley. The defendant applied to me to know who were surgeons in Bridgnorth ; I com- municated to the defendant that Mr. Coley had been the surgeon attending* the family. The book the defendant referred to wasUmfraville's Coroner's Law. I rather think I asked whether I might examine the witnesses as a right, and he begged me to do it if I thought fit ; I thought there were some questions proper to be asked, which the defendant did not ask, and therefore I put them ; I think I certainly should have noticed any material variation between the evidence, given and the de- positions read over. Perhaps I should also state I perceived, on the defendant's and Mr. Coley's coming down, that there had been a difference of opinion between them ; I recollect the defendant, asking Mr. Coley if fhe deceased might, not have met her death by failing over a stile ? I think neither the question or the answer were entered in the depositions; I recollect his asking* Mr. Coley whether the discharge of blood might not be in- duced by brewing or baking ; this question and answer were not in the depositions; these are differences certainly— I think they are material; I do not think the defendant put any of my ques- tions into the depositions ; I was not struck with the omission when the depositions were read; I thought Mr. Coley's evidence, when read over, particularly short; I do not remember Mr. Coley saying the laceration might have been caused by kick or a blow ; I will not say he did not. When the defendant said he thought the deceased died of flooding*, he did not say he had inspected the boay ; he said he had seen the clothes ; he did not he was in the mention the bruises, or the cut lip parlour eating. Re- examined.— Besides the questions put hy the defendant, I put questions of my own judgment. I remember Mr. Coley saying the injury may have been occasioned by a fall, but then it must have been done by some pointed instrument. Rev. 0. Whitmore sworn.— lam rector of Astley Abbotts, the parish where Newton liyed, and attend- ed the inquest. I accompanied my brother ; on our arrival we found the defendant there, and a great many jurors in attendance. I" saw a young* man named Barber there, as surgeon ; the defendant said he thought Mr. Barber not a sufficient person to give evidence on this occasion, as he was not a regular practitioner. lie asked my brother to name a proper surgeon, and he gave the names of four surgeons ; and my brother was requested to write to one of them, whichever he had a mind ; a con- stable was dispatched with a note to Mr. Coley ; Mr. Coley and his assistant, the defendant, and ( lis son, went up into the room, and Mr. Barber with them. Application was made by one of the jurors, through me, to he dismissed. I was present at the examination of all the witnesses before the defend- ant ; he appeared attentive in taking* the examina- tions and putting down the answers. I saw Barber sign his examination ; he certainly looked at it; he was sitting close by the Coroner all the time, and then signed his name. I heard Barber's exa- mination read, and it did not strike me that any thing was inserted in that examination which was not. uttered by Barber. Barber said that she died from loss of blood," and he also added, u but not from any blow or violence." I have not the least doubt in the world that the concluding sen- tence was uttered by him. Mr. Coley was asked before the defendant what was the cause of Mrs. Newton's death ; he replied that he could not tell. Cross- examined : I have not seen any written examination of Barber ; I beard some examinations read at the magistrate's meeting, which was on the Friday or Saturday- in the week following ; my attention was not particularly drawn to those words on that occasion — hut it was particularly so at the inquest; I believe the answer, " Not from any blow or violence," was given to a question put by the defendant; my brother asked several questions; I do not recollect any of them particularly ; I do not recollect one ; but I have reason to recollect the words spoken hy Barber ; I cannot say that the answers to these examinations were put down in the depositions. The examinations lasted between four and five hours; if. I hat ( a few sheets of foolscap) is the paper written, I conclude it contains all the evi- dence given in those four or five hours. George Little. ford.— I am church- warden of Astley Abbotts; I sent information of Mrs. Newton's death to the defendant at 12 o'clock at night, on a Friday, and the messenger returned on the Saturday. Before the jury were sworn, one or two from Morville parish applied to me to ask the Coroner to dismiss them, because there were nine instead of six ; I mentioned the application, and it was complied with. Thomas Hayward.— I am constable of Astley Ab- botts; I received precepts, on the 25th January, to summon 12 jurors out of mv parish, and 6 out of two others, and also a summons for a surgeon io attend ; I summoned Mr. Barber; I went for Mr. Coley I opened the Court by repeating, after the defend- ant, the words behave ; 1 did not hear any person mention Edwards, the tinman, as one who could give evidence on this matter. Cross- examined : I . remember the defendant say- ing- the case was not so bad as was expected, and that 12 of the jurors might be dismissed; I heard him tell the jury they had no occasion to examine the body particularly— that the surgeons had exa- mined it, and they must abide by the surgeons' examination ; the Mr. Whittnores were present, and heard this. I heard Mary Jones say to the defend- ant, that on the day her mistress died, she left Edwards with her master when she went out. I heard the defendant say Latin or something to Coley that I did not, understand, and Coley said, " We will speak sO that every one can understand." After Mr. Coiey had spoken of the cause of the loss of bloo'd, I remember the defendant saying, 16 No, the loss o£> blood was occasioned by her flooding;" Mr, Coley said, it was occasioned by a blow or a kick. Re- examined.— The surgeons used words I did' not understand. Edmund Banks Whitcombe.— I am son of the defendant, and his apprentice. I went with my father to Newton's ou the day of the inquest ; it was a wet day ; our clothes were wet; we partook of refresh ment. My father asked if Newton was in the house ; a female said he was up stairs, and asked my father if he would w ish lo see him ; he said he should like to know if he was in Ihe bouse ; she immedi- ately went out of the room ; a man came back wilh. her— it was Newton ; another man followed him. Mv father said lo Newton, " I am come upon a had business;" and he replied, " I know nothing about it." My father then said, " I have put my horses into the stable, but I can get nothing for them to eat." Newton replied, " I bave no oats, but I have barley or wheat ( witness did not know which), and I'll give directions for them lo have some." One of the; two went into the kitchen, and returned in a very short time. I remained with my father and Newton. When the man came hack, he and Newton went upstairs; I cannot say which went first. Nothing whatever passed between my father and Newton but what I have stated ; if anv lliing bad passed, I must have heard it. Barber arrived about that time, and my father, on seeing him, said that he could not abide by tlie testimony of an assistant, he must have a principal surgeon. I was in the room with my father when he asked Mr. Coley his opinion us to the cause of her death, and lie said he could not detect anything; he could not account for the cause. My father said that the jury complained of beino- net and uncomfortable, and he asked Mr. Colev his opinion as to releasing some of them, and Mr. Coley said lie might release them. My father went down and released some of iheni. My father told Mr. Colev lo be sure lo leave Ihe body neat for the jury to view it ; when I left Mr. Coley he was sewing up the head of the deceased. The depositions were taken by my father, and I copied them. Before Mr. Coley was examined, he was sent for by a patient • Mr. Coley was iu a hurry; he gave his evidence in tlie rough, and said if my father would call upon him hp would sign a fair copy. The depositions were copied exactly as they were taken. The fair copy was signed by Mr. Coley on Ihe 13th. John N. ewton.— I am cousin to llie late John New- ton ; I was at Severn Hall on ihe day of the inquest • I was wilh Newton when a message from the defend! ant was brought up; Newton went down, and witness followed in two minutes; I saw defendant and his son standing by Ihe fire warming themselves; I went into the kitchen, and met a woman ig Ihe passage • I returned back, aud we went up stairs together; I did not hear any thing said about horses or oats ; I heard the name of Doctor mentioned as I passed through the parlour. Newton remained up stairs the remainder of the day, Cross- examined: The message was, that Newton was wanted, not that the Coroner wanted him ; New- Ion went down stairs; it was lo that gentleman ( pointing to the defendant); I did not say, " Good God, what can the Coroner want with liiui !" I will swear 1 went up stairs with Newton, to the best of my recollection ; 1 never said otherwise, not to my recollection. I did not make an affidavit, that I know of, to go to the Court of King's Bench. [ The affidavit being produced-, the Counsel read an extract : " And this deponent further says, that soon after I went up stairs again, and soon a'fter the said John Newton came up."] Re examined.— We went up stairs together - I did not leave him behind. The affidavit was then put in and read. Thomas Botfield, Esq. Sir Edward Blount, Henry Mytton, Esq. James Stevens, Esq. Rev. J. Wood, Mr. J. Rogers, T. Beale, Esq. and Major- General Steventon, spoke to the defendant's character, as that of a man of high honour and respectability ; aud two or three of them, without being asked, staled they considered him incapable of committing the crime charged against him. The depositions taken on the inquest were then read; after which, Mr. PEARSON replied in a speech replete with eloquence and ingenuity. He noticed particularly every thing which the defendant's witnesses had said, contrasted this evidence with that on the part of the prosecution, which instead of weakening he said lliey had confirmed, and com- mented wilh severity on many parts of the defendant's conduct, as detailed in evidence. He read extracts from the book stated to have been used by the defendant on lliat day, lo slipw that he could not have been ignorant of what his duly was, and being, as his own witnesses had proved, a'man of extensive practice and great science in his professsion of surgeon and accoucheur, he could not but have known what Dr. Du ( lard and Mr. Humphreys stated every Tyro in medicine must know, that llie cause which he held out to Ihe jury as producing Mrs. Newton's death, could not by'any possibility have taken place.— If more were w anting, his own admissions thai he had no doubt her husband had been the cause of her death, coupled with the wounds on her body, which he bail seen, must convince every one Ihat some motive actuated his conduct upon that occasion; and when the conduct of the party was criminal, ihe law inferred that Ihe motive was criminal also. He concluded by expressing his confidence that the Jury would return a Verdict of Guilty. Baron HULLOCK then summed up, and after stating the nature of the Information, said, il certain1 v did ap ™ pear that the defendant hipl deviated from that strict line of conduct which lie ought to have pursued. But it was for the Jury lo say, whether, in that deviation, he had acted from honest error or from some base motive of corrupt self- interest. He then pointed out what the duly of the C. ironer was; noticed the violation of that duly in suffering the body to be dissected before it was examined bv the Jury; his not taking down and putting into writing all the material points of evidence elicited by the questions of- Mr. Wbitinore ( Ihe propriety of whose conduct his Lordship mentioned); his directions to the jury as to viewing the Ip. dy ; his not sending for Mr. Edwards ; and the expression used bv Newton at ihe top of the stairs, when the defendant was coming out of Ihe room, which, with I lie reply, lie said, was rather singular, if there had been no previous conversation between the parties ; and his remarks when the jury gave their verdict. His Loulship read through the whole of the evidence, commented upon many parts of it, and pointed out its bearing upon the case, and concluded by telling the jury, thai it was for them to say, whether the charge against the defendant had been established hy the evidence hi id before theili ; if they had any rational doubt upon their millds, they would give him the benefit of thai doubt; lint if they had no such doubt, then, however painful it might he lo their feelings, they would return a verdict of- Guilty. With respect lo the consequences of such a verdict, they hart nothing to do; and he had no doubt tliev would discharge their duty wilh that firmness and impartiality, which the high and im- portant functions llie law had imposed upon them required, and would find such a verdict as they thought was required at their hands by the evidence adduced. The Jury, in a few minutes, returned a verdict of Gi'iLTy, hut added, " My Lord, we wish to stale Ihat there is no proof of his having received a bribe." Mr. PEARSON then moved that Ihe defendant should enter into recognizance lo appear in the Court of King's Bench to abide the judgment of Ihat Court. — His LORDSHIP asked if there was any necessity for ihat?— Mr. PBARSON said he ought to have entered into recognizances before, to appear iu Court lo try the question, and afterwards to abide the judgment, hut no recognizances bail been entered into.— His LORDSHIP said, " And yet you see he has appeared. I do not see any necessity for it myself, and have only known one instance of it before, hoi if you wish it, of course you have a right so lo do."— Mr. PEARSON then said that if the defendant's attorney would pass his word for the defendant's appearance, be should he satisfied.— This was immediately done, aud tlie motion was withdrawn.
