mage had been proved to any ex- 

 tent, the jury would not give more 

 than Is. damages. — The attorney 

 for his lordship, in his reply, observ- 

 ed, that every man, while he was 

 hunting, proceeded at his peril; 

 and that he was, by the law of the 

 land, bound to know and respect 

 the properties of others; and that it 

 had really become a question, whe- 

 ther his lordship was to be allowed 

 the undisturbed possession of his 

 own lands, or quietly to submit 

 that the Berkeley hunt should par- 

 ticipate with him in the enjoyment 

 of his estate ; and he concluded by 

 hoping, that the jury would give 

 such damages as would operate as a 

 warning to the persons composing 

 tJiis hunt, in future. After the evi- 

 dence had been summed up by the 

 sheriff", the jury gave a verdict for 

 10/. damages. 



There was likewise another ac- 

 tion brought by the same plaintiff, 

 against Burgh Leighton, esq. un- 

 der the same circumstances ; and 

 the jury also gave a verdict for 10/. 

 in this cause.

 man has brought over to England 

 a heifer, eighteen months old, of 

 the Braminico or true Bengal 

 bicod, which was put on board at 

 the Isle of France, by directions of 

 the governor of that island, by or- 

 der of Lord Minto, as a present to 

 the Prince Regent. On Saturday 

 evening it arrived at the stables of 

 Carlton house. It] has a hump on 

 the shoulders like a camel : the 

 horns are nearly upright. The 

 same ship has brouglit over a bull 

 nine months old of the same breed, 

 as a present for colonel Heriot. 

 A white cow, of the same breed,

5. In consequence of the depo- 



sition of the boy relative to tlie 

 murders on board the Adventurer, 

 made some days ago, persons from 

 the police office. Union-hall, were 

 sent down to Liverpool, to search 

 for Charles Frederick Palm, a 

 Swede, who was second mate of 

 the Adventurer, and Samuel Tell- 

 ing, the cooper; both of whom, ac- 

 cording to Mades's deposition, were 

 deeply implicated in the murder. 

 By the activity of the officers they 

 were both apprehended, and brought 

 to town, and on Tuesday evening 

 they underwent a long examination 

 before Mr. Birnie, when Telling 

 gave the following account of this 

 atrocious transaction, which fully 

 corroborates Mades's testimony :— 

 The Adventurer, of which the 

 deceased Captain Keith was com- 

 mander, and Mr. Smith chief 

 mate, sailed from London in Sep- 

 tember, 1811. The deponent sail- 

 ed in her as cooper ; they liad been 

 out about six months, when the 

 captain and chief mate were mur- 

 dered. He could not recollect the 

 day, but it was about four o'clock 

 in the morning. The captain and 

 chief mate were in bed : a boy 

 named George was at the helm, and 

 Palm and the rest of the crew were 

 forward on deck. Palm was strik- 

 ing a light when the captain came 

 on deck in his shirt, and said to 

 him, " Charles, what are you 

 obout ?" Palm made no answer, 

 but immediately struck him with a 

 cooper's hammer, which he had 

 ready in his hand. The captain 

 exclaimed " Oh, Charles, you have 

 done me !"' Mr. Smith had followed 

 the captain upon deck, and was 

 attacked at the same time by ano- 

 ther Swede, since dead, who struck 

 him several times on the head with 

 the cook's axe. Both the mate
