Co zens, v.hich, it will he recollected, was an applica tion on the part of the Governors for the removal of I.ir. Cozens, the present Master. His Lordship said that he had examined the affidavits on both sides With the Meanest attention, and was by no means sa tisfied that tho falling off in the school was imputa ble to misconduct on the part of the Masten and thereforo, however much he might lament that this school, like many others of a similar kind, was not productive of all those benefits for which it was en dowed, yet he could not feel justified in consenting to the application of the Governors, and removing the Masters The Court was occupied during the rest of the day in hearing an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, on the construction of the will of a Mr. Wilkins. After bearing Counsel on both sides at great length, his Lordship confirmed the Master's decree. COURT OF RING'S BENCIIt, NOVEMBER 92. TIIE KING SHELDON. Mr. TOPPING said, that this was the case whiclehe had obtained a writ of Habeas Corpus, directed to Captain Sheldon, commanding him to bring into , Court the body of Elizabeth Moorehouse, an infant, who was under his care, for the purpose of her being delivered to her bailer. The parties were now in at , tendance; if the Court should call them in they would ..appear. Mr. GAnnow—" I do not think it will be neces sary to trouble the Court with the appearance of the parties, or with hearing any thing further of this bu siness. I understood from Mr. Topping, out of Court this morning, that it would hot be necessary, because ,the young woman is delivered into the care bf her father." Mr. Toereco—" The parties are brought up here, and she is delivered to her father ; i do not know whether it be necessary that the act of delivering over to her father should be done in Court. I have no wish for it, if it be not necessary." Mr. GARROW—" Out of delicacy to the feelings of the parties, I wished to pass by the ceremony of the delivery over of the party in Court. They have the security of the custody being with the father." Mr. Justice LE BLANC—" You have a right to lave the writ obeyed in open Court, Mr. Topping." Mr. GARROW—;" I understood from Mr. Topping this morning, nut of Court, he had no wi.h to bring this young woman into Court, but that she might be delivered over to her father out of Court." Lord ELLi.NROROUGH--" As the writ is returnable here, we ought to have the performance of an obedi ence to it in Court. It is a writ which protects the' liberty of the subject, and due and formal, as well as substantial, obedience to it ought to be executed.— We, as guardians of the freedom of the subject, must see that the writ is properly obeyed. Call the parties into Court." Upon which Captain Sheldon came into Court with the young woman, followed by her father. The writ of Habeas Corpus was then produced and the return read as follows : 1, !lie within r.amed J. Sheldon, in obi dience to the writ of T.a!). , as Corpus to me directed, do certify that the within•named ;I::!.ibeth Moorehouse, did of her own free-will come to reside -vith me ; and I do further certify that no force, restraint, or co- -scion, Lath been laid upon her by me, or by any beily, while resided VN ith me, but that sbe bath continually been, and noec .c, at liberty to go away to any person she may think proper: LOrd ELLEN nottocc,ll—" Is her father here Mr. G.‘neos.v—" Yes, my Lord, she comes here, indeed, ie the possession of her father." Lord Era.tesnonouun—" Let her be delivered up t.) her ather." This was done immediately. He took her by her hand, trembled, and wept; and then the pities withdrew. As they were going out, Lord ELLENEOROUGH said, " She is not to be molested in going home with her father. The Court will wetch over and see to effec tual execution of this writ. If any one should offer to interrupt the father and daughter in their way home, the Court will visit that offence as it should be visited —what age is she Mr. Toerteo—" Fifteen, my Lord." I'lle KING V. WHEELER AND OTHERS. The A'rTORNEY GENERAL moved for the judgment of the Court on John Wheeler, Edmund Bradshaw, William Harley, William Darlington, Richard Ash ley, James Zachary, Henry Drain, Samuel Haigh ton, and Thomas Valiance, who had suffered judg olent to go against them by default, on an informa tion charging that they, with a great many others, to I the number ef 200 in the whole, did, at Liverpool, tn the 29th November I SOB, by force and arms, as.i semble in a riotous manner at a place of rendezvous for seamen in Liverpool, with intent to rescue an pressed seaman of the name of John Crossley, and did then and there threaten to kill the Lieutenant acting ie the impress service, and to tear in pieces the house et . rendezvous for seamen, if Crossley was not deli vered up to them ; in consequence of which, and to prevent the effusion of blood, the Lieutenant deliver ed up Crossley. The Defendants, it appeared, soon became sensi ble of their improper conduct, and presented a me moriel to the Lords of the Admiralty, confessing their sorrow and contrition. They afterwards allow. toindgment to go by default, and new filed atlida- i vies throwing themselves on the clemency of the Court, being all journeymen ropemakers or labourers, v•iio had families depending on their daily labcear for tugport. ATTORNFX GENERAL stated, that he had been r.l,li'4cd, ithin the. last twelve hours, to file a crimi r information against an immense number of rioters a Liverpool, -AT had risen, net for the purpose of teocmeg , a eagle seaman, but with the view, as it seould seem, of deAroying every house opened in that town for the receiving, of impressed men. If it was proper, therefore, that the impress service should to at all kept up, a crime of this nature could not can 4stently with the public safety, at the present mo ment, be visited with a light punishment. M. CLARKE, for the PIDIO:ieTS, addressed the Court io mitigation, relying principally on the fact of he Defhodants having immediately become seri sibleof their error, and expressed theircontrition for it, which went for to chew that theirs was an offence of Ar p t i-,c. .A 1 to OA. riot in Liverpool, just alluded to by the Attorney General, his information limited it entirely to American and other foreign seamen. Mr. Justice Le BLANC pronounced the judgment of the Court on the defendants :.• - • 4 ‘ You nine per sons, who now stand upon the floor, are to receive the judgment of this Court, after having suffered judgment to pass by default, upon an indictment, charging with the offence of a riot and very outra geous conduct, for the purpose of claiming, very il legally, very improperly, John Crossley, a person duly impressed by Lieutenant Davis, into his Ma jesty's naval service, for the purpose of forcibly tak ing him out of the service into which he was legally taken: on which occasion you, with a great number of other persons, stated to be two hundred and more made a great riot in the town of Liverpool, for the purpose before specified. That in consequence of such your proceedings, the Officers of the Navy, who had that person so impressed under their care, in order to prevent bloodshed, which might otherwise have en sued, gave up the person; that is, you, by your vio lence, compelled them to deliver up that person so in their custody; that is the offence of which you stand convicted by your own confession, as appears by your suffering judgment to pass by default. That Crossley was in legal custody, there can be no doubt, on all the affidavits in the case; as little doubt is there that you, by s our violence,deprived his Majesty and the country of the services of that individual, whom you rescued lout of such legal custody. I have stated him to be ' a person in legal custody, because no doubt can rest oit the mind of any man, that those who are brought up originally, or who have for a considerable time accustomed themselves to a seafaring life, are persons to whose services the State looks in the hour of neces sky. This person had been at sea, had given up his pursuits on shore, and betaken to a seafaring life, had been duly impressed into his Majesty's sea-service, and, therefore, no doubt can be entertained that he was ' legally in the custody of the Officers of the Navy, by whom he was impressed, and no doubt can be enter tained that the Crown had a right to his services. Nor is there any reason to complain of this practice of impressing, for the law provided a remedy to every person aggrieved in, these cases, which remedy this Court is every day in the habit of applying to those who are entitled to it ; that is, to those who are im pressed into the sea service, but who are entitled to exemption from that service. Whenever any case of j that kind appears, the Court instantly relieves the party through the means of the prerogative writ of the Habeas Corpus ; but here was a person not en titled to exemption—a person who had been duly impressed, and you, conscious that you could not by legal means extricate him from that situation, of which he was perhaps desirous, not that he wanted to quit the sea service, but that he should only quit the King's service, because it appears by the affi davit that, in violation of your promise, on the officer delivering the man up to you, to bring him forward the next day to be judged of, whether he was a pro per object of the impress service or not, you suffered him to go to sea in a merchant vessel. It is there fore clear that this person had no aversion to the sea service, but only to serving his King and Country at sea. It appears also most clearly, that in the prose cution of this your purpose, great violence was used ; that a great number of persons, 200 and upwards, of i which you were nine, assembled on that occasion, whe went to the house of rendezvous, demanded that the person, thus legally impressed, should be delivered up, and that you threatened that if he was not, the officer who impressed him should be kill ed, and the house of the rendezvous demolished.— It is ft that you should learn that it would have been murder in you if any person had been killed by you ;1 hut if either of you, or your party, had been killed, i on that occasion, it would not have been murder in 1 those who opposed you, because their pursuit was 1 lawful, and yours was unlawful ; for you attempted to gain your 'll pose by.violence, which the law will not allow. 'hie excuse offered for you in your affida vit is, that of shesviig what the former part of your lives has been. That your characters hereto ore have been good, and that punishment may not fall heavily on you, it is stated by your affidavit, that you sees:st by your labour, that you are married men, and that you have families. All of you have j arrived at a time of life in which you ought to j know your duty ; and as to your families, their , condition ought to operate upon your minds as pledges given to society by you for your good behaviour, in. stead of furnishing an excuse for your not being pu nished for your misconduct, after you have forteited your characters. We do not live in times when this Court should pass over offences of this sort with a slight punishment, when the spirit of insubordina tion is abroad. When every thing wrong is at tempted to be inforced by violence and riot, the Court would desert its duty if it inflicted a sentence milder than the occasion calls for on persons guilty of this description of outrage. The situation of many of you in the present case would induce us not to inflict punishment On you with a heavy hand ; but the I temper of the times is such as would make it cul- I pable in the Court to pass over such an offence as this I lightly : for the public must learn (if their own good I sense has not already informed them of it) that a Court of Criminal Jurisdiction must not treat such subjects lightly, and that however turbulent persons, like you, may succeed for a while, in their attempts to compel what is wrong to be effected by violence— I or even to compel what they may think to be right, the arm ache law will be long enough to reach them; and however punishment may be delayed, at last they will be sure to be punished. In your case the Court cannot extend to you the mercy which you seek ; nor can the Court indulge at its pleasure in the quality of that virt'e'. Mercy must flow from the Crown only. Here we must distribute justice as applicable to the offence for which punishment is inflicted, without con sideration of any personal feelings. The sentence of the Court, therefore, upon you is, that this Court doth order and adjudge—That you be severally imprisoned in the Castle of Lancaster for one year, and be then discharged. THE KING V. WILLIAM STEKRICK. This Defendant was also brought up to receive sen tence, having suffered judgment by default, for ob structing a Revenue Officer in the execution of his office, by refusing to produce, or let him search for some necessary document (a clearance) to entitle him to make his voyage from Gloucester to Bristol—and for sailing without such necessary document. The Court sentenced him to pay a fine of Jel 0, which Sing immediately complied with, he was discharged,' Ir I 61 1 1 A I y S d S ev iO iat N e A fro ' in . tle Get. • • '•',..-' COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOVeIet MEN of Ed, —,.. ~ ASHLEY V.

ABERDEEN, NOVEMBER 18. Tuesday last, after a period o f uncommonly mild 1 weather, the wind suddenly shifted to the northward, 1,. bringing with it all the rigour of winter.. During that 1 night the gale increased with frost and snow, which have sincecontinued with great severity. In the country I the snow lies to a considerable depth, so that in some 1 places the communication is nearly stopped; and such i has been the violence of the storm, particularly at its I commencement, that a man is said to have perished : in the snow on Tuesday night, on the road between Cairney and Keith. The following melancholy accident, affording, among many others, a fatal example e‘f the danger of leaving children alone, occurred on Wednesday last at Footdee. I A fine boy, of four years of age, being left alone in the I house, near a fire almost extinguish:A, had collected some shavings of wood, and kindled so that the flames caught his clothes, and being still increased by the child running out into the open air, they had so far enveloped the little sufferer, that before they could be subdued, he was burnt in the most shocking manner ; and after enduring great agony, died next morning. Some days ago in the Old Town, while a man, of the name of Robb, was employed in cleaning a window, he fell backward'into the street ; and, although only from a height of six or eight feet, was killed on the spot, having, as is supposed, received a fatal blow on the back part of the head. Last week a sailor, in a state of intoxication, fell from the fore-topmast rigging near the cross-trees of a brig, at the Quay, and striking a rope in his fall, was thereby precipitated with great violence on the deck of another vessel, from which he was thrown into the water. Several people being at hand, one or two of them jumped into a boat, and rescued the man at the 1 moment he was on the point of sinking. He was taken 1 up to appearance lifele - •, and conveyed home; where , proper means being used, he was restored to hissenses, and next day so far recovered asto be abletogoon board his vessel, having only received two or three bruises. Three men, in a boat, with neither mast, sail, or oars, were picked up, at about two o'clock in the morning of Saturday sc'nnight, by the boat _of the Roebuck. They give no account of themselves ; they are supposed to be army deserters from the Isle of Wight, as the boat in which they were litlMig - § to a fisherman at King's-Key. .

'Me pens presented the appearance of an ample supply, an immensely large number being brought far sale. The.purchasers were, however, so numerous and spirited, that the whole were sold at an early hour, full 15s. per head dearer than last year, and 1 many who wished to purchase were disappointed. At the Cheese Fair, this morning, the situation of buyer and seller was exactly reversed. A large quantity of cheese was pitched, but few wholesale purchasers were in attendance. The sale was in consequence very fiat, and good cheese was porch:A(ld i at £3 3s. per cwt.—the general top price £3 16s. prime old So ! ruersetshire £4 105. Many dealers and dairymen, who had brought cheese from a considerable distance, at a heavy expence, sold for less than the home price; and after all, a large quantity ' (nearly one third of the whole) remained unsold. . - DIED.
