Lomas tof the firm of Leonean and Clark) p. mated ; and Mr. Robinson (of the firm of Newton ad Robinson) defended the parties charged. The circtim "atm detailing the charge arose out of a fancied right on Se part of Wm. Kettlewell that he is the rightful heir of as Mies Ann Fawostt, who died intestate, and whose pro swty the Bareows have now the posusaion. On the aiming of the Bth of March, whilst Mr. Beason Barstow us at breakfast, Wm. Kettlewell, Allison, and Batty pre. I ntel themselves at the back door of Mr. Barstow's house, ad delivered a Dote to the cook for her master.

ZITAAORDINARY AFFAIR. A Preston correspondent tells a remarkable story. He says :—" For some time past there have been rumours in the town to the effect that a young man named Thomas Wylie, whoa few years ego occupied a highly nopectabie position in Preston. and was engaged in the cotton trade. was flatted up is as old graiehouse behind the pada church in St. John's-place ; that be had sever bean out of the building for some years; sod that he wee secretly fed through some mysterious hole or doer. The real facie of the case have just been made known, mid it appears that the re ports have some foundation. A fe w y ears ago, Wylie, attic having been employed as a lawyer's clerk in Preston, nom' mend business as a reed maker and cotton masufscturer. He had four eatablishmests—one at Preston. two &IBMS" and one at Manchester. His usual piece of midair* was Preston, where his parses; lived, and where he set up Ms father in insignia. Wylie prospered in his trade for souse time ; he employed many operatives ; he regularly asso ciated with gentlemen connected with the cotton trade and, like other parties sugared in manufactunag pursuits, he went regularly to the principal machete in the coanty— I Manchester, Liverpool, sad Blackburn. In 1837, however, when the monetary panic set in he lad a deal of money and fortune ever afterwards seemed to rends from view. Three years ago, whilst battling me et misfortues. • Fres ton solicitor, who was the agent et the establishment he occupied, in St. John's-place, in that town, distressed' him for a small sneer of rect. Wylie begged for time to come mod, bat the meat was relentless, and the goods. which had cost a good deal of money, and were still worth a considerable sum, were sold by auction for a sum whisk scarcely amounted to a twentieth part of their valwa. Wylie held the premises on a lease, and after the sale he swore to the agent that be would remelts in them =Ail the complete expiration of the period of his tenancy. That etraage oath be has so far kept, and for three years be bee stayed in the establishment aloes, and determined to avenge what he conceived to be the if:dimities in itiated upon him by the sgeot. The building is sow • strange weird looking old pleas' inside of it there is nothing hut an old loom end a filthy old bed ; the floes are &sty, and worm-eaten, and mildewed ; outside, the windows are smashed. the walls cracked, and the sige board., which used to refer to a prosperous males busi ness, are paintlesa and pleos. in fact, looks jest like one of those haunted buildings which grim, imaginative writers love to dwell ne. But Wylie stems to have cared nothing for all this. Par three years he has been the sole occupier of the lonely rooms which used te ieverberate with the woods of busy machinery; for mouths together be has never coma out of them ; far • year at thee he has had no (ire The people living is the neighbourhood knew that he was weaseled in this building, but this wagon they did know. They *ever saw him come into the street ; and nobody except oue of his old workmen, who now sad then visited him by stealth, seemed to have any idea as to how be exists'. The teighbours, oat of curiosity, oar siosally km:irked at the doors bat the only reopen sea a dull echo borough the empty rooms. Foe the Bret year of his voluntary impri son ment no person appears to have visited Wylie, and • man residing next doer never owe new him. Since then Wylie bee crept out at isterran alter dark and rise Ma house adjoising. where be has get morsels of food rod a few coals. Whets be first showed himself to the inmates of the house in question they were perfectly horrified at his condition. They bad Meows him in his better days, and to see him as they did, when be quitted his ladies pleas for a few minutes, shirtless, shoe ing, ragged. and with a pale tam, the very pieture et etanstiou, they were naturally much shocked. Within the past few swaths he has improved a good deal in ap pears:me, nut he is still a most wretched pitiableic v ob)set. and very uelike the smart, well-divesed, , energetoesg mash* use a few years ago. A few weeks age his father died. sad efforts were made to get the immured eon to at teed the funeral ; bat neither the eetrwhies of his mother, nor the solicitations of his fused', weld induce nits te stir. It is supposed that be was enema of his apolog etic* ; at any rate he had some streets objection to leave his old dilapidated biding-place.
