22. Early this morning a very handfome young woman, about 18 years of age, dreffed in a white muflin gown with long Reeves and yellow gloves, ftraw bonnet, and velvet fhoes, was found in the agonies of death, by the watchman in Belvidere-row, near the King's Bench Priton; the lay between two carts. being taken up, and on opening the door of Mr. Gibbs, near the spot, she fell for ward, and breathed her laft, After the body was conveyed to the watch-house, it appeared that the had received feveral fevere bruites about the head; there were likewife fome marks of violence about her throat and neck ; a piece of flesh was allo found to be cut and torn away from the lower and fecret part of the body! On Saturday evening, an inquifition was taken on the body, at the Yorkshire Grey publichoufe, oppofite St. George's workhoufe; when, after a long and minute inveftiga tion, the Jury returned a verdict of Wiltul Murder again f me person or perfons unknown.” The decealed, it was proved, was an unfortunate girl of the town; but all who knew her agreed in giving her the best character that a woman in her fituation could have. The deceated was addicted occasionally to Jiquor. Whether to the jealousy of man, or the envy of women, (among whom, we understand, he was an chject of jealouly,) her death is owing, remains at pretent en veloped in uncertainty.

At the Suffolk Aflizes, held at Bury, among other prifoners who received tentence of death, were Luke Castle and Samuel Wheeler (both under 22 years of age), for a burglary in the dwellinghoute of Mr. John Chapman, of Stradishall, and tealing fundry articles of wearing apparel, &The atrocious conduct of thele two offenders cannot but convince every reader of the juice of their fentence. The villains, who had iong intefted the neighbourhood, and belonged to a gang of that clats denominated gipfies, entered at midnight the dwellinghouse of Mr. Chapman, who refided therein alone, molt cruelly beat and tortured him with a bayonet, in order to extort from him his property, and afterwards attempted to enclote him in a hutch, which not proving of a sufficient Jength, they threatened to shorten him by cutting of his head; however, they conpented themfelves with binding him down in his bed with a table-cloth, ftili continuing the use of the bayonet until the fufferer was nearly exhausted; they then, before they departed, obliged him to kifs

a Bible, and fwear he had no property but what they had taken; and with fhocking imprecations threatened, if he attempted to unbind himfelt before they returned, to murder him. In this fituation he remained about an hour; when one of the villains came back, determined to put in practice his horrid intention, had he found him in any other fituation but that in which he left him.~Jane Ellis, who was an accomplice, was admitted evidence against them.

At the Surrey Quarter Seffions, in Horfemonger, lane, of feven lamplighters found guilty of stealing oil from the proprietors of Vauxhall, three were sentenced to three months imprisonment, and four fent on board the tender.-Thomas Rogers, før assaulting and beating his wife, and attempting to put her into a copper half full of boiling water, was found Guilty. He prayed to be allowed to ferve as a foldier. The Learned Chairman (Serjeant Onflow) replied, that he could not think of difgracing the King's fervice fo much, as to fend fo cowardly a fellow into it; and then paffed fentence of two years' imprisonment, and to find fureties.-No lefs than three prifoners were in the list of commitments, charged with ill treaung female children; one M'Manus by name, was convicted, and received fentence to fuffer one year's imprisonment; the others efcaped through defect of evidence.

After a great number of gentlemen had been previously excufed ferving the office of Sheriff, on paying their fines of four hundred pounds and twenty marks, James Branscombe, Efq. has been elected by the Livery, Sheriff of London and Middlesex, to ferve with Mr. Miles; fince which Mr. Branscombe has given bond to serve the office. Richard Philips, Efq. Citizen and Stationer (of Bridge treet, Blackfriars), was nominated with, Mr. Branf combe; but the show of hands was decided to be in favour of the latter gentle. man.

Mr. Jofeph Edge, aged 62, a native of Macclesfield, in Chef, lately under tock, on feveral bets amounting to upwards of 2000 guineas, to perform a journey of 172 miles in 50 fucceflive hours, which he completed in 49 ours and 20 mi utes! This aged pedestrian itarted from the Angel Inn, in Macclesfield, exactly at 12 o'clock at night of the 6th infian, and arrived, accompanied by two gentlemen in a gig, at the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane, at 20 minutes palt one o'clock in the morning of the 9th.

Mr. Fox has appointed Mr. Trotter, nephew

nephew of his late friend, the Bishop of Down, to be his Private Secretary.

At the Somerfet fhire Affizes, held at Wells, J. D. R. Rouvellet was found guilty of forging the acceptance of Meffrs, Child and Co. to a bill of exchange for Azol.; by which he defrauded Madame Simeon, lace dealer, of Bath. He was convicted principally on the evidence of Elizabeth Barnett, who at that time lived with him as his wife, and saw him commit the forgery. The trial lafted twelve hours. Elizabeth Barnet being the chief witness against the prifoner, that circumftance accounts for his having instituted both a criminal and civil profecution against her; if poffible to get her out of the way; in order to prevent her giving evidence against him upon the trial. (See P. 73, 74]

Eleanor Whitford was tried at the Surrey Allizes; the ftanding indicted for having intermarried with John Whitford, on the 26th of November, 1801, at Gretna Green; and afterwards at the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, in the county of Surrey, on the 19th of May,

806, feloniously intermarried with Robert Jacques James, her former husband being ftill alive.-Not having room for a detailed account of this trial, we can only fate, that Mrs. Whitford appears to have forfaken her husband in confequence of his having been unfortunate in business. Mr. James, a wealthy old gentleman, whom the afterwards married at Lambeth Church, had previously taken apartments at Whitford's houfe; and hence Mrs. Whitford's defertion of her husband, and fubfequent mercenary union with James, on the pre

fumption that her Gretna Green marriage was not legally binding. The man who married the parties at Gretna Green, David Lang, a tobacconist, was called to eftablish the first marriage. He stated, that be performed the ceremony over the prifoner and her husband, in his way; that was, he read nothing, but he faid fomething off the tongue, and authorised them ̧ to cohabit together. Being questioned if he had any certificate of the marriage, he replied, “No, only the names of David Lang, Eleanor Whitford, John Whitford, written on paper."

The Chief Baron deeming it neceffary to have proof that the marriage was le gally folemnized according to the laws of Scotland, the Counsel for the profecution offered Mr. Lang as an evidence to that point; but the Lord Chief Baron fiid, he fhould not receive the law of Scotland from a tobacconist. The prifoner was in confequence acquitted for want of evidence. This decifion, however, in no way affects the question as to the legality or illegality of Gietna-Green marriages.
