      The Scotch Chartist Trials. Trialop Cumu...

      THE SCOTCH CHARTIST TRIALS . Trialop Cumuiko . —Edinburgh , Tuesday . —James Cumming _, ahoamaker , was charged under the late Crown . and Government Security Aot , commonly called the Gagging Bill , with sedition' in so far as in the months of April , May , June , and July , 1818 , or one or other of tbem , the said James Cumming did wickedly and feloniously compass , imagine , invent , devise , or intend to levy war againat the Queen , in order by foroe and constraint to ohange her counsels , er in order to intimidate or overawe both Houses , or either House , of Parliament . ' He was also oharged under the common law of _Scotland with ' wiokedly and feloniously combining and conspiring , _wifc a

      number of persons calling themselves Chartists , to effect an alteration of the laws and constitution of the realm by force and violence , or by armed resistance to lawful authority . ' Mr Logan , advocate , counsel for the prisoner , addressed the oourt at some length , objecting to the reievancy of the indictment . His first objeotion was , that the indiotment did not libel in a sufficient and competent way any overt acts te show the felony the statute creates . There was a necessity , he said , for libelling the overt acts in connexion with the felonious intent , and for tha purpose-of showing the existence of that intent , aud this had not been observed in the present indiotment . If suoh overt acts may be found

      in other parts of the indictment , they have not been brought forward for the purpose of showing the existence of the . felonious design on . the- part of the accused ; ' Mr Logan wen ton to object to the oharge at common law' ef conspiracy , which he maintained was . vaguely and insufficiently set forth / and then prooeeded to object ta the charge of _eeditionV on the ground that the overt acts set forth in the indictment amonhted to treason , and the panel conld not-therefore be tried for sedition . He submitted that under a oharge for high treason the jury could not return a verdiot for sedition , and so , if the overt aots here set forth amounted to treason , the jury oould not give a verdiot for sedition ..

      _, The Court overruled the first of Mr _Loan ' s objections , and tha Lord _Jaatfca Clerk Btated two QUestiOnB at _« J _J- ih _6 c _^ tV ° l tho Proration to _awwer in his address ; The first was , did the charce of conspiracy , being in itself in substance a charge of treason , not merge inte treason , and if Bo , could it only be tried by the treason law of England The second question was , whether they oould try under the common law , a particular mode of offence , which had by the late aot been made a statutory offence ? Mr Crawford addressed the conrt in reply to Mr _xiugau i aflHon

      , -uu » u , u «» ugg suggested by the Lord Justioe Clerk , and was followed by the Lord Advocate , both of whom entered at some length into the history of legislation on the crimes of sedition and treason , and contended that the late _actliad changed the orime of treason into that of sedition , ana left them at liberty to obarge as _aedition , what had formerly been treason ; but that it by no means prevented them from returning to the common law , and under that law to _proseoate any one guilty of conspiring to levy war agaisat the Queen ;

      The Court , _havinghfiat-lboth parties , thou g ht thb objection sufficiently _impertant to be reserved for _£ ? _"f _^ _™* _. _&«!» » _l « of the judgeB , and delayed the case W > . Thuraday at tea o ' olook for that purpose .

They were observed , however , and followed by tbree boys , ono of whom , a boy fourteen ye _»» of age , named J _* mes Brook-, ran up to the prisoner , and , laying hold ef one of the pieoes of oalioo welaimed : Tou have stolen this from my uncle . '

      The prisoner looted round and Instantly dropped the _pleoe that had been laid hold of , and ran off with the other-but the other boys still _purined him for three quarters of a mile , whea one of . thorn oaught holl ofthe _remslnlng pleee of goods , and oalled ' Ssop thief J' upon whioh a milkman and aaother man laid hold of the pri . loner . The latter , _^ however , made a most desperate re * _slatanca against them and a police constable , and when he was at length subdued , it was found heoesBary to strap bim down upon a stretcher to convey him to the stat ! en _. boHBB , and be was then so oompletely prostrated by the violent _exertlens he bsd used that the police surgeon was sent for , and upwards ot au hour elapsed

      before the prisoner was sufficiently recovered to . support himself . Sinoe then , however , he haB made several desperate attempts at escape . —Tha two pieces of calico were produoed , and identified by the _tradfimsn from whose shop they had been stolen . The male prisoners were recognised as brothers , of tbe name of Hodges , They bad been repeatedly in custody , and only liberated from priBon about a week before the _oeourrenoe , and another brother had already been transported . —Mr Hsrdwiok remanded all the prisoaers preparatory te _oommlttal , and was so pleased with tbe courageous _henesty of the boys _whohadesuud their apprehension , that he at onoe gave them a pecuniary reward .

      MARLBOROUGH STREET . — Abutocsatic _Moea-Hir . —A Suabbi Fbliow . — -Col . Bisne wassammonei before Mr Bingham to oause against an order being made on hira for the support of an Illegitimate child , of whtoh he was sworn to bs the putative father by Sophie Merti , a young Frenchwoman . —Mr Bingham said , la this case Sophie Merts , a Frenchwoman , residing In Lendon , seeks to affiliate on the defendant a ohild born iu Franoe , after an Interoeu-se alleged to have taken place In England . It is objeoted to the jurisdiction ef this court that the statute 7 th and _Sth _. Yiotorla _, chap . 101 , does not apply to suoh a ease . That aot , however , witbout referenoe to nation or plaoo of birth , glvts . the mother of a bastard child the right to apply to a magistrate of tbe distriot wherein sbe resides for an order of

      affiliation ou the putative father , who If tbe case be established against bim is compelled to pey her a sum not exoeeding 2 s . 6 d . a week towards tbe support of suoh child . And it seems to me that this payment must be considered either as a statutory debt in the way of compensation to the mother , or as en indemnity to the _psrlsh where she resides , whlob , in case of her falling into destitution , is clearly bound to assist her as ene of the oasuat poor . If it be a debt a foreigner may sue for it In our country as well as a British subject , it U be an indemnity to the parish , it is necessary that the parish should bs indemnified against a foreign as muoh as against an _Eogllsh ohild . I think , therefore , that tbe statate applies to a oase like tbe present , and tbat the objection to the jurisdiction is hot well founded . It bas been proved In this case that the defendant oobablted with the complainant lor some years ,

      and that she has been delivered of a child , which Is pro . daoed in court . No proof has been given , such as is fnq-iently given in bastardy cases , that the complainant has cohabited with any other man or men . Nor , although ample time haa been afforded for tbe purpose , haa an ; witness been brought from France to contradict any part of tbe detailed statement made by the com . plainant a month ago of her proceedings in Franoe . In suoh a state of the evidence the burden of providing fit this child , according to tbe statute , falls under our law dearly and _nneicsptlon & bly on the defendant . An order will be made , tber store , for the usual weekly allowanoe _, and fer the expenses of the delivery , and the expenses of her witness , —Hr Billsntinegave notice of hts Intention to appeal . —The order for payment toward the support ef the child is only 2 ' . 6 d . per week ; the expenses of tho defence are supposed already to be likely to amount to fifteen or twenty years payment at tbis rate .

      Dasihq Hiobwat _RobbeiT . — JameB Harris was brought before Mr Hardwlck , charged with b & ving robbed M . _Usurlce Oa * _sel , a French gentleman , residing at the _Sablionlere Hotel , of bis watoh , value fifty guineas . —M . Oubel stated , that about eleven o ' olock on Thursday night be was standing in the Hiyraarket , walling for a friend , when the prlsoner . came np to bim and requested him to say what o ' clock it was .

      of tbe medloal _profeision , The facts elioitod on the first Inquiry are brt . fiy these ' . —Between seven and eight on the morning of the 2 d _InBtant , the prisoner went to Br Savage ' s house and asksd if he ( the Sector ) attended a lady named Jaokson in Portman Street , saying that if he did he was required to make all possible haste to her dwelling , as she was takes suddenly 111 , The maid servant went upstairs to speak to her master , leaving the prisoner in the hall , and on coming through the dioing _> _rosm to give him aa answer , sbe missed from the table four silver spoons , and also a pair of silver sugar tongs . With much presence of mind she closed the doer , which she looked , so that It was impossible for the prisoner to make his egress , and having at onoe taxed him with having the articles ot plate in bis possession , , be at length gave up to her t . e whole of tbem , saying he was a very uofortunate man . She gave an alarm , and . on Sanders , 221 D , being

      called in , the prisoner was conveyed to the station bouse . —The prisoner admitted having tho plate upon him , but asserted that it was not his Intention to take It away . — Several additional cats-were proved against tho prisoner , who has plundered Dr .

Inspector Porter said that there were five or six more parties who had been robbed by the prisoner under _clrcumstances similar to those already related . —Mr Long asked if in any of the otber oases mentioned by the inspector any of tbe stolen property was forthcoming , and _ffefsald that some ofit had been traced , —The magistrate was of opinion that , as that was the case , it was sot worth while te go Into more evidence , Four cases had beeu heard , and upoa them he shonld send the prisoner for trial , —Tho _prisoner , who denied all knowledge ofthe patties , except in the oaie or Dr Savage , was fully commit ' ed _u-ion four charges _.

Thii WAS ths third time the caee had came before the magistrate , and _itoscited great Interest , —The evidenoe which was brought forward in support of the caarge proved that tho woman Aroher had for some time past used the poor child in a most brutal manner , net only by "objecting her to ovary kind of privation , but by unmercifully . beating her to suoh an extent as to cover the person ofthe obild with sores and bruises , —Mr Adolpbus BarnettM .
