To this decision he was compelled to submit, as, having applied for the idvice of counsel, he could not consistently go againtc it when lie had received it.

The Rev. Mr. Stodthrt said, he regretted if any remarks of his had disturbed the proceedings, but the statements in the book (Captain Grover's) were most unjust to Col.

Wolff, in a state of great excitement, declared that tlie brother of the murdered Colonel Stoddart aught to kiss Captain Urover's hand fromasenteaf gratitude. He called upon his reverend brother to apologise in a Christian spirit. Captain Rnndall said he had appealed to his nephew, but without suecess. When a man acted wrong, there was no degradation in apologising cheers, and renewed cries of apology'. The Chairman here that he understood the rev.

There ought to be apology and the rev. gentleman, in refusing to give one, hud done himself great discredit. Hts conduct was unworthy the character of a Christian, a gentleman, or a clergyman loud cheers.

The Rev. Mr. Stoddart 1 cannot apologise, as I cannot alter my conviction of past occurrences. The meeting, which was then in a state of great excitement although i Capt. Grover was perfectly placid, called loudly for a resolution, which I should mark its sense of the rev.

gentleman's conduct. Mr. H. Pownall. after a short nuuse.

Dernill-strcet, Lincoln's lun-tields, a erson of tit. name of Thomas Parr, by trade copper-plate printer. About three years since Ins two daughters, the one Mary, aged and the younger Ann, aged 30, left the union workhouse, where, they had been tu paupers, aivj traine tn ri'stile with their fwrimt in a hmnll rnmn adjoining his own apaiUnent on the third Hour.

They never permitted thfatheror any of the bulgers to enter their room, and weeks, have been known to elapse without their being seen hy any of the lodgers. some daynpitst the neighbours have complained of a moat dreadful -stench, apparently proceeding from the room of these women. Upon interroeatinir the vouuecjit she di'iiied all knowledge of the cause. of tlie late Rev. John rector1 of MiddleUm, near Bererlty' "th, Mrs.

About half an hour after she had left lhe shop, a man, who rtpresentcd himself as traveller for Messrs.

Jones and wholesale colour mmiuracturers, in tlie Soulhwark Undge-roud, called and solicited orders on behalf of ttiat firm, and tnn directed to send in a quantity of the above articles, part of which be afterwards brought and was paid for, to the amount of X2 4s. At a later hour the prisoner called with the remainder of the goods, on account of which he received and was desired to call for thu balance on the following Monday, Nothing more was seen of the woman whogine the order, and it hiving been discovered that the articles were of lhe most spurious description, and that there was no such firm in Jttoes and of the Soulhwark hridge-road, in existence, the prisoner, niilatteiidtng at tin time appointed, was given into custody. A second and more serious chargewas next preferred by Mr. Joseph Rule, oi Suffolk-htrcct, Soulhwark, who atated that the same woman had called at hf -dop on the 2lith and given nnlers for VrHlo. of the best black lead, and rotten-stone iu the lump, which she.

promised to call for on the same evening. Soon after he bad left, the prisoner entered, and stating himself to be a partner in the house of llihhle ami Co ml m-muf ictiirers, in Hiahnpsgate, solicited his custom. Orders were gncn hint hir thu above articles, together with ipi.tuttty of emery, wliiL.li the prisoner himself delivered, and wrote a receipt for their value the name of James HihhLc, nishopsgatc-street." The woman who Ind ordered the goods, came for them, and the prosecutor's nquctnns being exulted, he called upon Messrs, Dibble, who not onlv disclaimed all knowledge of the transaction, hot an esumimng the articles declared that they were not worth a fourth of the nmnty which had been paid for them, and that the signature lo the rei eipt the prisoner had given was a forgery.
