COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY…
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 9. (Before the Chief Justice.) IHORNTON v. CttAWStlAY.-Tliis was an action of trover for the retention of 410 tons of Russian iron. It involved a principle of some interest to wharf- ingers, whether a notice from the vendor is a sanc- tion to retain the goods in transits. Wreaks, before he became bankrupt, received consignments of iron during the years 1831 and 1832, from the agent to Count Demidoff, of. Petersburgh. Afterwards teaks gave the iron to the plaintiff, as a security lor previous advances of money. The defendant, a wharfinger, retained the iron, not knowing to whom It belonged ptea, therefore, not guilty. The Learned Judge left it to the Jury to dc-cide as to the fact. A special verdict to be entered for the plaintilF, leaving the law for the consideration of the Court next term.—Verdict for the plaintiff ac- cordingly—Morning Post.

CARDIFF RLCA,r,rA.f lie lovers of aqustic ex- hibitions in Cardiff had a fine treat on Monday last in witnessing this Regatta. Penartb the scene of action, from- an early hour in the morning, presented a very animated appearance. In the first race, 13 pilot boats started and the prizes were ably con- tested for. The secoiid race afforded considerab'e amusement, but there was a great deficiency in com- petitors. Tiie rowing match excited much interest, and displayed the best exertions of the best men in the port." tour Steamers and the Glamorgan Bund were in attendance, and the day's entertainment was closed by a variety of rustic sports. The conduct of the stewards, J. jyj. Richards, Esq. of Roath CClstle, "dnd W. Nicholl, Esq. of Adamsdown, was the general theme of admiration throughout the day; and the judged, Messrs Fairclough andTredwin gave great satisfaction by their impartial decisions. We regret that our lengthy report of the Assizes pre- cludes our entering more fully iuto the festivities of the day. The valuable estate at Ystrady Vorlock, in this county, containing 1,778 acres, advertised for sale at the Auction-Mart, by Mr G. Robins, on Thurs- day, was purchased by Mr Davies, of Runiyarth, for Crawshay Bailey, Esq. of Nantyglo. A rumour having got into partial circulation that Lord James Stuart intends to resign the Repre- sentation of the Western Burghs, we felt it to be our duty to inquire into the grounds upon which the rumour rested—and the result is, that we can find no foundation whatever lor such rtitiioi* in fact, letters have been received here from hi« Lordship, within these twenty-four hours, the purport of which indi- cates an intention the very reverse—Ayr Observer. Lord Suffield died on Monday, from the effects of the severe injuries he received by his horse fall- ing with him in St. James's Park, on the 29th ult. His Lordship was in his fifty-fourth year, and suc- ceeded his brother William Asheton, second Lord, 1st August, 1821. By his union with the late Hon. Georgiana Vernon, daughter and heiress of George, second Lord Vernon, he had the Hon. Edward Vernon Harboard (now Lord Suflield*, who is on the eve of marriage to the Hon. Miss Gardner, sister of Lord Gardner, and grand-daughter of Lord Carrington; the Hon. Alfred, and the Hon. Georgiana. By his second marriage with the daughter of the late Eve- lyn Shirley, Esq. he has left an infant family. INSOLVENT DEBTOWS COURT, SWANSEA. On Monday last, Henry Revell Reynolds, ESQ. his Majesty's Cllief Commissioner under the Insol- vent Debt ()'I*' Act, held a Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, for the first time in this town. Two prisoners came up on their petitions to be heard. David Thomas was opposed by Mr. Thomas, of Llandilo, on the part of several creditors. The in- solvent had been in goal nearly twelve months, at the suit of his detaining creditor, for the sum of £ 97 Os. 3d., money said to he lent to the insolvent. He had previously been in goal, at the suit of (he same party, for the sum of £ 28, but had beer-libe- rated on payment of the full amount, yet within two months after his discharge he is again incarcerated for the above-named sum, and now applied to the Court lor relief. By his schedule it appeared that when arrested he was pennyless, and had since sub- sisted partly on the charity of his friends, and partly on some trifles received by him on account of rent for some small house property, though upon his examination, after much equivocation, he con- fessed that when arrested, he had in his possession between £ 10 and :C50, nor could he at all account for wliat purpose he had borrowed the above sum of his detaining creditor, or what use he had made of it denying that the f 40 or £ 50 formed any part of it. The detaining creditor underwent a lengthy exami- nation, which, however, failed to throw any consi- derable light on the subject, and ended in the insolvent being remanded till next circuit to file a new special balance-sheet, and re-serve all his creditors. The learned Commissioner animadverted strongly on the improbability of the statements in the schedule, and more particularly on the genuine. ness of the detaining creditors debt. James Edwards, better known by the cognomen of Bristol Jem, next came up for hearing, and was op- posed by Mr Hopkinson, on the part of himself and other creditors. The insolvent had been in goal eight weeks, at the suit of his brother-in-law, for the sum of £ 20 10s. Od. a balance of a running account of vrious sums of money, lent and repaid between tie parties, during the last two .years. The insolvent, not being able, in his examination, to support the statements in his schedule, more particularly his having attempted to shew, that during his imprison- ment he had subsisted on a few shillings per week, the produce of charity, and it appearing in evidence, that he had, every week, bought pigs by his agent, which his wife had sold as pork, every Saturday, in the market, and, thereby, comfortably supported the hole family, hig petition rias dismissed. COYVBRIDGF..—We FEEL great gratification in hearing that Mr. c. R. Knight, second son of the Rev. Robert Knight, has, much to his own credit, and greatly to the satisfaction of his friends, recently been elected to one of the Butler's Scholarships, at Lampeter College. About twelve months ago we had the pleasure of announcing in our journal, the election of this young gentleman to a Scholarship at Wadham College, Oxford, having there been opposed by six- teen other candidates; but at that period being con- sidered too young to commence an Oxford residence, he has been prosecuting his studies at St. David's College, under the able superintendance of Dr. Lew- ellin, the honourable result of which has been as before stated. CowBiiiDr.F, TURNPIKE ACT.—Oi>!Vlondny last, « dispute, having reference to the Turnpike Act, was brought before the bailifls, T. Rhys and I. Bevan, Esquires, at Cowbridge. It appears that the toll- collector had made a charge upon a Mr. Williams, for payment for a sucking foa! following its dain to and fro through the turnpike gate in the first instance demanding the same toll charged upon a bona-fide horse, and when this was refused, agreeing to com- promise the matter by taking" one penny. lTr. Wil- liams objected to pay any thing, and the matter was then submitted to the decision of the magistrates. Several witnesses sworn, deposed that a foal and colt in common or agricultural parlance, did not mean horse; and that when speaking of a horse, the word only applies to that animal whe.! broken-in, or at four year old. I. Bevan, Esq. gave a most luminous exposi- tion of that clause of the Turnpike Act^ Which provides a charge upon horses and other beasts of burden. He shewed that though the word" horse, in its scientific purport as a getierical term comprehended that animal from the moment of its birth, as likewise mare, stallion, gelding, &e. &c., yet, that in its legal and parliamentary acceptation, it bore only a limited sig- nification that the words foal and colt distinguished a horse at particular periods of his life, previous to his becoming, in 'a farmer's view correctly, a horse, That it was for them to be governed by the meaning an- nexed to the word horSe in a legislative sense, and not as an abstract question in natural history. See- ing therefore that the act applied a charge exclu- eiveiy to a horse, and that a foal was not, in a legal view, a horse, a foal, could uot in the meaning of the act, he deemed liable to a toll. The case was then given against the toll col!eetor, much to the evident satisfaction of a,numerous auditory, who crowded the justice room, the question being one that excited uncommon interest. CONJURORS STILL EXTANT.—In an examina- tion lately, as to a robbery at Hirwain, the woman of the house went to one Price Kdwards, M-li.A. -at Caio, nha, without fui-thi-i- examijiatioli, declared that the robbery was committed by a lodger, with black curly hair, who would soon be a cripple, and be obliged to wander through the earth upon crutches, and be forced continually to exclaim, "Oh! Daniel Jcukins;, it was I stole your money We do not know whether Doctor Harris, of Court-y-Cadno, "still breathes inferior air," but we will veuture to challenge the astrologer of Caio against him. IRON.—A Return has been made to an Order of the House of Commons, moved for by Mr Guest, mem* her for Merthyr Tydvil, containing, 1st. An account at the quantities of foreign iron imported into and ex- ported from the united kingdom in the years 1833 and 1834, distinguishing the several sorts of iron, and the countries from which imported, and to which exported. 2nd. An account of the quantity of British iron (in cludiliz utjwrought steel) exported in the years 1833 and 1834, distinguishing the countries to which ex- ported. And 3rd. An account of the quantity of British hardwares and cutlery exported in the years 1833 and 1834, distinguishing the countries to which exported, aud the declared value thereof. By the first account it appears that ion the year 1833 there were 17,913 tons of iron, in bars or unwrought, imported into this country from places abroad. The other des- criptions of iron enumerated in the account ar.e of small amount and insignificant value. In 1834, the quantity of the same sort of iron imported was lti,215 tons, showing a decrease in the quantity imported in the year 1834, as compared with the previous year, of 1,698 tons. The exportation of this description of iron in the year 1833 being 2,024 tons, and that of 1834 being 2,885, the account shows an increase of exporta- tion in the year 1834, as compared with the year 1833, of 861 tons. By the second account it appears that the quantity of British iron, of all descriptions, ex- ported in ihe year 1833 was 160,226 tons (exclusive of 1,587 tons of uirwronght steel), and the quantity ex- ported in the year 1834 being 156,456 tons (exclusive of 1,709 tons of unwrollht steel), there is a decrease in iiie quantity of British iron exported in the year 1834, as compared with the preceding year, of 3,770 tons. By the third account it appears that in the year 1833, 16,497 tons of hardwares and cutlery, of the declared value of £ 1,466,361, were exported from the united kingdom and that in the year 1834,16,275 tons otthe same, of the declared value ofC1,485,1233, were exported shewing a decrease in the quantity exported in the year 1834, as compared with the year 1833, of 222 tons, while there is an increase on the de- clared value, of £ 18,972.

MERTHYR TYDVIL NEW MARKET.…
MERTHYR TYDVIL NEW MARKET. TO THE EDITOa OF THE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN. SIB,-A lias Just Passed the Legislature, with the consent of all once opposing parties, to enable W. Thomas, Es<l- pssces, to build, on certain spots in the borough ot Merthyr, a New Market Place, for the accommodation ot the public. As this Bill is the first step towards a steady and progressive improve- ment in the social position of Merthyr Tydvil, I trust tshatt be "passing* for a while on your attention, while describing to you the progress of the ines^u»e» an analysis of the powers granted, and my reasons for cafhng on the inhabitants generally to render every support, within their power, to this ex- cellent ulldertakwg, It must have been obvioul- to all persons connected with the borough that the situa- tion of the Old Mai ket, however beneficial to property adjoiuiiilT, was one of such great public inconvenience as to render the abatement of its nuisance imme- diately desirable. For this purpose the attention of the respectable residents of the place was some time siuce called to the question; and resolutions were passed at a public ineetilicr, to form a Committee and endeavour to obtaiu an Act for the improvement of the town and the erection of suitable accommodation On this subject (made the more desirable by the hand- some and public offer of Mr Meyrick, to take 20 shares and superintend the passing of the Bill free of all expens-e, saving the necessary fees of the House of Commous, &c.) there appeared such perfect una- nimity of feeling, that all impediments to the accom- plishment ot a great public benefit seemed to have been conquered. Unfortunately and subsequently to this meeting, a restrictive clause, iu the then Bill, caught the attentiou and roused the opposition of two gentlemen, whose aid, from their possession of pro- perty and high standing ill the place, was essential to the existence of the measure, and it was my pain- ful rluty, as Chalrmn of the Committee to commu- nicate to Messrs. Meyrick and Duvies, that our future a support must necessarily and Pnn«o,„nilv be with- drawn. Mr 1 nomas, win, a determination creditable to his public spirit and character, immediately, and personally pctilionpd the House, and the result has been the passing of a Bill into a Local Law for Merthyr Tydyil. The following of which are the principal provisions: ANALYSIS OF THE MRSITIIY TYDYIL MARKLT I BILL. vi' Clause empowers Mr Thomas or his lessees, <<> build a &r e tier, with convenient aiut necessarv9 staJl" standings, ant erections, for the sale of in^at, poultry, vegetables, butter, ami other provision,. corn. ptain, hay, straw, and other articles, th). p;u of eit)ier ()f them, calh'd Cae-tairhrv, Cat-gwin-mawr g.— Provides that ir tUo.

a lie was not there. Asked prisoner to open his box, ■o see if her goods were there. Prisoner said, I'll ,ive you every sort of satisfaction, only don't expose ne. The box was open.ed, and the knives were found iv md the steel. Witness asked prisoner for the key, and Ie said he had no such key. Her husband was at 13ristol at the time. On her cross-examination, the witness said that she bad mentioned before the Magistrate who committed the prisoner, (J. B. Bruce, Esq.) that the prisoner said, Don't expose me;" but it did not appear in the de- Positions. The witness also said that she had counted the knives in the store-room three days before they ^ere lost; but she could not swear that there were there more than were stolen, or 10, or 12, or even 20 or o0. There were two men, lodgers in the house, and all the same room with the prisoner. One of them went away the same morning the knives were stolen. Alto- gether, the evidence for the prosecution was very in- complete. J- Bruce, Esq. who committed the prisoner, was jammed as to the fact of the prosecutor's wife stating that the prisoner said, Don't expose me," by Mr icholl, who Said that h resumed that it was the Magistrate's custom to rencteV the evidence in such a form as he conceived would be the most material for the case, and not in the words of the witness. But Mr Bruce declared that such was not his custom but that he gave the evidence of the witnesses to his clerk in the-words of the witnesses, as nearly as he possibly 'Çould, and that his habit of dictating to his clerk the evidence he should write in the depositions, arose from being obliged to examine in a different language. the learned counsel put several questions with the ^tew to shew that the wife of the prosccutor might have ftated that the prisoner said "Don't expose me;" out Mr Bruce stated that he would swear the words *ere never used by her; for that if they had been, he should have had no doubt of the prisoner's guilt, and should not have admitted him to bail, which he did, as allowed by the Act of Parliament, in cases where strong doubts of the prisoner's guilt existed, in cases of felony-and such doubts he did entertain. The 1rords used by the prosecutor's wife were, that when she asked the prisoner what he did in her store-room, the prisoner replied, that he was not there, and that she (meaning the witness Johanna Fortune, servant to prosecutor) had wronged him. Mr Bruce added, that r m. Thomas, the other magistrate, who was pre- Se"t at the prisoner's committal, was in Court, and Pould state that the words Don't expose rtie," were Hot used. The Court however did not think it necessary to enquire further. tl Pr'soner on being called on for his defence said, he had been in the habit of selling goods for the prosecutor; that he had sold his clothes to support his lie who had died recently in consumption; that Was left with two young children whom he endca- po^i *"° suPP°rt by selling hardware; but that he ch 1°' so ? if he had obtained the goods so eapiy as by stealing them, he could have lived by JLpr"fit.

His house adjoins the mill. Prisoner slept in the house. Took notice of her figure, about February or March,and thought her larger than usual. Heard of the findi'¡g" of the child. Told prisoner of it, and told her that people said it was hers. She said she knew nothing of it. I lad taxed her before with being with chi'd, but she denied it. After the child was found had a further conversa- tion with her. Asked her if she had been de'ivered in his house. She said, "No." Asked her who was the father. Named two or three people, and prisoner said if she had a child the first person witness named was the father of it. Prisoner was taken into custody. Wit- ness thought her figure was less than it had been a week before. Lewis Jenkins examined—Is a weaver. Knows the tucking mill, Llandaff. In May last was at the mill- stream, looking for fish. Took up the flood-gate and saw a piece ofblack bombazine. Took it up and shook it. A child's hand fell out first and then the rest. The legs and hands were off the body. The arms and hands were there. Placed it in the tucking, mill. John Joels put it in a box and took it away. George Hill examined—Watched water from tucking mill on the 25th of May. Found the legs and part of 9 the body of a female child. They were in a piece of black bombazine tied up with white tape. Took them to Llandaff Mill and left them there. Found the head by the grating of the mill. William Pride-Lives at Llandaff Mill. On Saturday after the child was found, discovered, in a pantry on a staircase, a part of an apron. This was in the house where prisoner lived. Gave it to Mr Reece. Wm. Evans examined—Is constable of Llandaff. Attended inquest on the child on the 25th of May. Received a piece of rag from Mr Pride. Went with last witness to disinter the body of the child. Took it to Cardiff workhouse. Left it in the care of Mr Reece, surgeon. Mr Reece, surgeon, received from Evans the parts of a child. Saw the same parts of the body at the inquest. Mr Richard Reece examined.Is surgeon at Cardiff. Examined body of child at Llandaff Mill, on the 23rd or 24th of May. The head had been taken from the body, and part of the lower extremities, with a sharp knife. The cuts were clean. The parts taken off the pelvis joined well. One of the kidneys was cut through, very neat and clean, and he judged from that, that it was done with a very sharp instrument Saw the lower parts of the body at the inquest. Took part of the kidney to compare it with that part afterwards found. It was a female child. Examined the floor of prisoner's bed-room, it was stained, as was a piece of carpet. Examined Mary Williams two days after child was found. Told her he came to ascertain the fact of her delivery. Prisoner denied it. Witness said he was sorry to be obliged to do it, but he must examine her. Found milk in her breasts, and other appearances, which induced him to think she had been delivered. Did not go to the full length of examination. When prisoner found he was determined, she became agitated. Witness said he must go further, and that all he wanted to know was, whether she had a child or not; he did not want to know if it had been born alive. Prisoner said, "I have." Witness said, "I suppose about a week ago." Prisonersaid, "Nine days. Saw some pieces of rag at the adjourned inquest. Was perfectly satisfied that prisoner had been delivered of a child. Mr James Lewis exanlined-is surgeon at Cardiff. Examined Mary Williams while in gaol. Does not know on what day. Made a more extensive exami- nation than Mr Reece. Is fully satisfied she had been delivered of a child. This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner when asked what she had to say in her defence, said in Welsh, that she did not understand English. Mr. Pride, her master, said this was true. Mr Lewis, surgeon, said she did understand and speak English. The prisoner, on being told, in Welsh, of what she had been accused, said, in the' same language, she had nothing to say; if the witnesses chose to tell false- hoods, let them do it. She had not had a child for four years. Mr Nicholl here said, that as the poor woman was without counsel, he hoped his Lordship would excuse him for calling his Lordship's attention to a case tried before Mr Baron Parke, at Brecon, in 1834, wherein it was decided that it must be proved whether the child was born alive or dead. It was not, in this case, proved either way. He (Mr Nicholl) had only a note of it, and did not cite it as an auttiority-lic merely called his Lordship's attention to it. Mr Vaughan Williams argued that such proof was not necessary. He had heard the argument before cited, and understood that it was a mistaken report. His Lordship thought the averments should be struck out. Should he have any doubt, the prisoner should have the benefit of it. Mr Reece was then examined as to whether the child was born alive or not. He thought it had been. It was stout and healthy. The lungs floated, but he did not place much jeliance upon that test. In this case they floated from inflation, not from putrefaction. So convinced did he feel that the child was born alive, that he cautioned the prisoner,when he examined her, not to say a word about it. He would not swear to it, but he had not the least doubt. His lordship charged the jury. The Act provided that if any woman, single or married, concealed the birth of her child, and disposed of the body to prevent discovery, that the offence was a misdemeanour. It was not ne- cessary to prove that the child was born alive or not. The questions were, whether the prisoner was delivered of the child, and whether she concealed the birth by disposing of the body. The prisoner had admitted having had a child. What then had become of that child? It had never been seen nor heard of, and was not now forthcoming. The body found, it was fair to presume must be that of the child prisoner had had. The Jury would retire and give the case their best con- sideration. Mr V aughan Williams said, that he now recollected that he was engaged in the case alluded to by Mr Ni- choll. It was incorrect, as stated by his learned friend. It was on an objection raised by him that the prisoner was acquitted. It could not be proved that the child was male or female, and the body could not be found. The prisoner had said that the body was in a dunghill, but on searching there it could not be found. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the learned Judg'esnid, in passing sentence, that the prisoner only knew whether she had committed murder or not. It was a case in which he could not exercisc the power ,xe allowed by the Act of mitigating punishment. The prisoner would be imprisoned two years in the house of correction with hard labour. The prisoner who had looked about the court indif- ferently, while the proceedings were going on, cried loudly on being taken from the bar, when the extent of the sentence was explained to her. VISI rruus. Mr Vaughan Williams said that the cause No. 4, James v. Thomas, had been referred by consent of both parties. Wilks and Thomas, v. Watkins. This was an action to recover the value of two pigs, the property of plaintiff, which had been left in the care of defendant, as keeper of the public slaughter-house, at Swansea. Mr Vaughan Williams was for the plain- tiff, and Mr Sockett for the defendant. It appeared that an Irish nig-,deiler litviiil, arrived in Swansea, the plaintiff bought 26 pigs of him for t4 1, and that ano- ther pig-butcher named Abrahams, wished to have part of the lot so bought, in other words, to share the bar- gain. After the pigs were left in defendant's care, Abrahams went there and killed two of them, the car- cases of which were subsequently given up to him by defendant, and it was to recover the value of these that the action was brought. Mr Sockett cross-examined the witnesses for the plaintiff with great ability and humour, and gave great amusement to the court. Mr Vaughan Williams re- plied in a speech replete with humour and sarcasm, and the Jury returned a verdict for plqiyltiff-Dainagest5 Bowen v. Jenkins.—Mr Nicholl opened the case- This was an action arising out of certain common rights held by the plaintiff, in the parish of (iolvinstone, on which the defendant trespassed. The plaintiff had 35 acres of land, the defendant only two. The plaintiff was a farmer, the defendant a cattle-jobber and the lfitter. bavins: onlv twn nrma nf land, turned out four horses, two cows, one heifer, and 46 sheep; and it was contended, that as there were but from 80 to 100 acres of land on which common right could be exercised, the parties entitled to common right could not enjoy that right, because the defendant usurped so great a portion of that right to himself. Everyattempt had 1 veil made not to bring the present action, "but without effect. An offer had been made to the defendant to refer it to a gentleman, every way competent to decide it on the principles of justice; but the defendant refused, and told hem to do their worst. Mr Vaughan Williams was 4iixious to shorten the case as much as possible. lIe therefore contended that if the counsel for plaintiff would go into the surchrrge, they must new assign; and, if his Lordship thought that the second issue was agaiust the plaintiff, they woalc1 not try the first. Mr Evans contended that it was incumbent on the defendant to shew that all the cattle on the common were his own. Mr'Nicholl thought it equal to a new assignment. His Lordship, addressing the Jury, said, that the parties had not placed their rights ill a proper shape to be brought before them. They had not raised the real point they meant to try here. The Jury would there- fore find for the plaintiff on the first issue, and for the defendant on the second.—No damages. The King v. Charles Collins-Tllis was an indictment for wilful and corrupt perjury-for that the defendant did swear to certain facts, knowing them to be false. Mr Wilson took an objection inlimine. He would ask whether the indictment could be sustained. lie took an object fori to it which lie believed his Lordship would hold good. The indictment was before his Lordship, and lie would see if it were good. It was not stated on the face of the indictment that the defendant had wilfully and corruptly deposed to certain facts, that lie, Charles Collins, went into the house of Morgan Thomas. Thomas Thomas, the plaintiff, went into p another room. There was a paper on the table. Nov;, he contended there was no assignment ofperjurv. It did not negative the fact of paper being on table. it only negatived the fact of its being the paper more par- ticularly referred to. The whole of the allegation of wilfulness and corruptness was done away with. The said paper was not the paper on the said table. The facts to which he would call his Lordship s at- tention was not correctly assigned. Perjury was not stating a fact that might be false; but wilfully stating a fact which he knew to be false. On the face of the indictment, there was no allegation of perjury. The words of wilfully and corruptly had been omitted in a certain part of the indictment, and therefore the Averment was not good. Mr Vaughan Williams contended that the objection was not a good one. The assignment was uassailable. The learned Judge said that the objection taken in limine, by MrWiJson, was certainly an important one. The words being left out of the indictment was unfor- tunate, but he, the learned Judge, could not reject sensible words-if words were insensible he might re- ject them, but these words had a meaning. His Lord- ship therefore held that the averment was not good, and directed the Jury to find the prisoner Not Gnilty- costs allowed. The prisoner to enter into recogni- zances to appear at the next assizes for the county. The case of Richards v. Thomas and others, for a for- cible entry,accompanied with assault and violence, was going on when our account left. It is expected that the Assizes will not terminate till this evening.
