having gone to pieces 

 away to leave the room, when she was asked — ■ So all 

 are saved — all who left the port ?* 4 No ma'am,' said 

 she, ' all who were on board at the time; but they had 

 h id an accident before — a boy fell from the mast, and was 

 killed on the deck.' Besides having no doubt of the 

 rectitude of the girl, we knew that she had not seen her 

 aunt — the only person from whom tidings could have 

 been obtained. But, to make all sure, I made an 

 errand to the cottage the next morning, well knowing 

 that the relieved mother would pour out her whole tale. 

 My friend and I encouraged her, and she told us how she 

 got the news, and when she brought it to Tynemouth, 

 just as we knew before. 4 How glad they must have 

 been to see you "at ours," said 1.' 'O yes, ma'am;' 

 and she declared my landlady's delight. 'And J.,' said 

 I. * Ma'am, I did not see J.,' said she, simply and 

 rapidly, in her esgerness to tell. Then presently — ' They 

 told me, ma'am, that J. was upstairs with you.' Two 

 evenings afterwards J. was asked, when in the sleep, 

 whether she knew what she related to us by seeing her 

 aunt telling the people below ! to which she replied, 

 * No ; I saw the place and the people themselves — like a 

 vision.'" The letter of MUf Martineau is not yet

Ham 



Court ok Exchkqi'er. — ( Sittings in Banco). — Mnllun 

 v. May. — In this case, which was argued s-me time since, 

 the Court having taken time to consider, Tne Lord Chief 

 Baron now delivered judgment in favour of the defendant. 

 The case came before this Court at the instance of the Vicc- 

 Chaucellor, in order to obtain its opinion as to the proper 

 meaning to be attached to the word " London,'' in an agreement 

 between the plaintiffs and the defendant, wherein the latter 

 bound himself not to practise as a dentist " in London.'' On 

 the one hand it was contended that the prohibition was co-ex- 

 tensive with London and Westminster both, but on that of the 

 defendant it was confined to the boundaries of the city of 

 London, properly so called. Upon this question the Court had 

 come to the opinion that the contract ought to be construed 

 according to the primary and proper sense of the language used 

 in it, there not being anything in the context which necessarily 

 implied the contrary. For these reasons the certificate of this 

 Court would be returned to the Vice- Chancellor in favour of 

 the defendant, the Court determining that " London" meant 

 the city of London, and that no action lay against the defendant 

 under this agreement for carrying on his profession in Great 

 Russell-street, in the county of Middlesex. 



Mionr.KSK.x Si lows. — On Thursday Mrs. Jane Tyrwhitt,vi\ie 

 of C. Tyrwhitt, Ksq., of Charles-street, Berkeley-square, was tried 

 at these Sessions, on the charge of stealing, at the Soho Bazaar, a 

 microscope, value 2s. (id. The witnesses for the prosecution de- 

 posed that they saw Mrs. Tyrwhitt take the microscope from the 

 stand, and that she dropped it when charged with the theft. The 

 prisoner pleaded not guilty, and numerous witnesses of the first 

 respectability bore the highest testimony to her character. After a 

 lc g trial the jury found her Not Guilty, and the verdict was re- 

 ci d with loud cheering, both in the Court and by the crowds 

 collect id outside the Sessions House. 



Midlavi) Vmcuir, Warwick. — The Sloneleigh case.— James 

 Leigh, 30, Thomas Leigh. 84, Thomas FluwerM. 37, and William 

 Watts, were charged with having violently assaulted, with intent 

 t3 do some grevious bodily harm and damage, one William Free- 

 man, and others. Our readers arc aware, from what appeared in 

 our columns a short time since, that a band of men, under some 

 supposed claim of right, proceeded to Stoneleigh Abbey, the seat 

 of Lord Leigh, near Coventry, and by forcible means, during the 

 absence of that noble lord, proceeded to break into the house and 

 take forcible possession of the same. From the speech of counsel 

 for the prosecution, and from the evidence, it appeared that for 

 some years past many claimants had sought to dispossess the pre- 

 sent possessor of Stoneleigh of the beautiful estates known as the 

 "Stoneleigh Estates;" but that in the year 1829, one of these 

 claims, which had come before the House of Lords, was solemnly 

 adjudicated upon, and disallowed ; still the noble lord has not been 

 free from molestation. The family of the name of Leigh who laid 

 claim to these estates, and which claim was adjudicated upon in 

 1829, came out of Gloucestershire, the Leighs who were the pro- 

 moters of the late outrage eame from Lancashire, and are persons 

 in a humble sphere of life. The case against these four prisoners 

 occupied the time of the court upwards of eight hours, but the 

 facts may be briefly narrated as follows :— It would appear that on 

 the 2tst October one John Haycock, whose duty it was to go to 

 the post-office, at Kenilworth, to fetch his lordship's letters, and 

 carry them to Stoneleigh, met a party consisting of twenty-nine 

 men and two women, among whom were the four t risoners. This 

 party was walking on the footpath towards Stoneleigh. One of 

 them said, •■ The first man who mislests me I will kill him.'* 

 That man had a stick which he struck on the ground. Haycock 

 seeing this, hurried on to the abbey by a short cut. The party pro- 

 ceeded to one of the lodge gates, and demanded entrance by James 

 Leigh, which was refused. The gate was then broken In pieces by 

 James Leigh, and the party entered the park with a " Hurrah," 

 and passed one Denser, the inspector of the county police force, 

 who was standing at a place called the Old Gateway, which is about 

 ninety yards from the abbey. Denser proceeded to what is called 

 the corridor door, having placed himself at its right hand, and 

 Hancocks, a police constable, being on the left side, James Leigh 

 came between them and kicked the panel of the door In. A rush 

 was then made at the door, and Hancocks and James Leigh were 

 carried from the place at which they were standing. Denser at the 

 time was in his uniform, his top coat being buttoned over it. Han- 

 cocks had his uniform on and no great coat. Leigh asked him 

 who he was for? There was no answer, and Leigh took a heavy 

 bludgeon from his breast and struck Hancocks on the arm, and 

 subsequently gave him several blows, which felled him to the 

 ground and for a time rendered him senseless. Denser also re- 

 ceived a blow on the head, and then struck Leigh and drew blood. 

 The party having broken in the door, they passed into the abbey. 

 Before passing into the abbey, one William Freeman went to tke 

 assistance of the police, and was beaten about the head so that his 

 life was despaired of, and even up to this time his life, according 

 to the evidence of the medical witnesses, is not out of ultimate 

 danger. When they entered the house, the party gave a sort of 

 hurrah. They were armed with bludgeons, and one man carried an 

 axe. Having gjt into the house, they barricaded the door wi^h 

 tables, chairs, &z.,and Mr. Jones, his lordship's solicitor.who was at 

 that time at the abbey, finding how matters stood, got upon the 

 roof of the house, and letting himself down by a ladder, proceeded 

 on horseback to Coventry, from whence he returned with assist- 

 ance. In the meanwhile the alarm bell had been rung, and his 

 lordship's tenants and neighbours had assembled on the lawn, to 

 the number of between 200 and 300 persons. The party in the 

 house, finding they were likely to come into collision with such 

 fearful odds, intimated that if nobody molested them they would 

 give up their weapons and yield themselves up in custody, and 

 they were shortly after transferred into the custody of the police, 

 taken to Leamington, examined by the magistrates, and com- 



prosecutj 



Temple addressed the jury for the prisoners. His speech was 

 chiefly directed to persuade them that the capital part of the charge 

 had not been made out, viz., the intent to do grievous bodily harm 

 and mage. The parties undoubtedly had done wrong : he was 

 not there to say they had not. They had acted under a mistaken 

 view, believing, with many others, that the fact of taking pos- 

 session would further most materially the views of the claimant. 

 In that they had erred, but in respect of their going to Stoneleigh- 

 abbey with a deadly intent— an intent to do grievous bodily harm 

 and damage to any one— that he denied. Mr. Justice Patteson 

 summed up, taking occasion to advert to the belief prevailing in 

 many minds to the effect that, if possession was once obtained, 

 no matter by what means, the parties setting up a claim of right 

 would have placed that claim in a better position, and exposing 

 the absurdity of such a belief. With reference to the distinction 

 between the more serious part of the charge and the minor offence, 

 that also was clearly explained and left for consideration, his 

 lordship putting it in three ways— first, as to the felony ; secondly., 

 as to the assault ; thirdly, as to their being guilty of either. The 

 jury found all four guilty of the assault. Sentence deferred.— On 

 the next day, the same prisoners, with 19 or 20 others, were put 

 upon trial for a riot and assault. The evidence on both sides was 

 the same as that adduced at the previous trial. Several of the 

 prisoners put in a written defence, stating that they had been given 

 to understand that James Leigh was going to take possession of 

 the great Stoneleigh Abbey estates by some novel means, and that 

 being desirous of seeing the same, they accompanied him to the 

 abbey, but without any evil intent— that they very much regretted 

 the step they had taken in going there at all, which had been pro- 

 ductive of such mischief to themselves, their wives, and families, 

 and pled, rjng themselves to abstain from further acts of violence 

 and annoyance to Lord Leigh. The learned judge summed up, and 

 the jury returned a verdict of guilty against all the prisoners upon 

 the eleventh count, alleging forcible entry ; James Leigh, guilty of 

 common assault upon Hancocks and Denser, and Flowers guilty 

 of a common assault upon. Joseph Freeman, and all not guilty of 

 riot. His lordship then desired the four prisoners, who had been 

 convicted the previous day, to stand forward. The present, he 

 id, was a case of great aggravation, and he would have them 

 believe what he said to them, namely, if William Freeman or any 

 other person had died, he did not see how it would have been pos- 

 sible to have denied that the offence committed would have been 

 murder. Considering the violent nature of the affray, he must 

 teach them a severe lesson, and to James Leigh, who had acted as 

 ringleader throughout, he should award an imprisonment of 18 

 calendar months, with hard labour; to the other three an im- 

 prisonment of 12 calendar months and hard labour: while the 

 remaining 24 prisoners his lordship sentenced to an imprisonment 

 of three months each. There was another indictment for trial, 

 but the counsel for the Crown thought sufficient had been done to 

 vindicate the law, and it was not proceeded with.

BAD 'the following TESTIMONIAL in favour 0? 



PARR'S LIFE PILLS, which is sufficient to convince 

 the most 1 rejudiced person that they are all that is required to 

 conquer disease, and consequently prolong life:— •• To T. 

 Roberts & Co.— Sirs,— I beg to hand you the following testil 

 monial, which I have just received from Mr. Williams, Union- 

 street, Nottingham.— Yours obediently, G. Battbks, Chapel- 

 bar, Nottingham. 



41 Sir, -Printing is a great blessing to mankind, for now I am 

 enabled to make known, through you, a perfect cure, by taking 

 PARR'S LIFE PILLS, of extremely bad Indigestion, a Bilious 

 disorder, and Sick Headache, which I have been subjected to 

 for years,- and money enough has been paid to physicians and 

 surgeons, which now would have been a little fortune to me. 

 I wish every fellow-creature clearly to understand that I was 

 wonderfully relieved by taking one box of PARR'S LIFE 

 PILLS. Accident threw a testimonial in my way of a mira- 

 culous cure of a bilious attack and sick-headache. The second 

 box enabled me to go about my business with spirit and ala- 

 crity j and by taking two or three more boxes, I am happy to 

 add my humble tes imony of a perfect cure of that dreadful dis- 

 order— Bilious and Sick Headache— which rendered me, before 

 I took PARR'S LIFE PILLS, unfit for business. Considering 

 the loss of time and pain, persons would find that one box of 

 PARR'S LIFE PILLS is worth, instead of Is. l^rf., as many 

 guineas. May all persons make trial of PARR'S LIFE PILLS, 

 is the sincere wish of, yours thankfully, 

 ••To Mr. G. Batters. M. Williams, Union-st., Nottingham."
