The lightning also passed through the church, entering it at a win dew near the porch on the • south side, and after \ 'crossing it in a north-eastdireatiao,itntcleits escape at two places.ht an upper window, near the chancel on the north side. An evening School was held pre vious to the occurrence of the above accident, which happened about- flint/ &dock in the evening. The dis May occasioned by the awful conflict of the ele ments may be better conceived than described; the children rushed out of -the church nearly in a state of distraction, uttering the moss dreadful shrieks— parents in search of their children--the incessant and vivid flashes of lightning, succeeded momentarily by dreadful peals of thunder, actompanied withtorrents of rain and hail, such as were never remembered by the oldest inhabitants, formed a scene truly terrific.

GOON. , long-contested case oecurikt4be - Courtin . bole of the day. It first came an his liebeeir WIALIAM GRANT) the late Master of thellujht: Jbit circumstances lie in a very narrow cOnSpos, and briefly these ? --The plaintiff and irefendant'ard riitlters. Their parents were 'privately ria a riied ln 6tland ; they afterwards went to the United' Stiarslif "Arnerica, and were publicly married. Between tbetwo marriages the plaintiff and an elder heather, who died in the life time of his father, were born. At the de. cease of the father the defendant, who is a Barrister, suggested to the plaintiff, who had spent the early 'part of his life in India, that although he was the elder brother, he was not legitimate, and pnaduced to him the certificate of the public marriage of their parents, and said, for the sake of the family and their mother's feelings, it was better not to publicly agi tate the question of the legitimacy, but that he, the defendant, who was the first-born son after the pub lic marriage, would take the estates of their father, and rent a part of them at a low rate to the plaintiff. So that the public seeing him in possession would suppose they were legally vested in him, and at the same time would not know that their mother had im. properly cohabited with their father before marriage. Fhe plaintiff not knowing of the private marriage, and the respect he had for his mother and sisters, 6 ;peed to this proposal, and an agreement to that effect was accordingly executed. Some time after wards the plaintiff came to the knowledge of the pri. vate marriage; and to vindicate' the character of his mother, which had been so aspersed by the defen dant, he filed the present bill. His Honour the late Master of the Rolls directed an issue to try the va lidity of the private marriage in Scotland ; and af terwards another question came before his Honour, whether the dying declaration of his motheras to the previous marriage should go to the Jury as evidence. , Has Honour was of opinion that it ought, as it was r.price evidence to go to Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge at Nisi Pries. The defenditnt appealed from that judgment to the Lord Chancellor, and his Lordship, on hearing thetase on its merits, con firmed the judgment of his Honour. The issue was tried, and the Jury returned a verdict, declaring the validity of the private marriage, and establishing the 'legitimacy of the plaintiff. After. this trial the plain- tiff applied to the Court, as a matter of course, to have it referred to the Master to take an account be. tween the parties, and for the plaintiff to be put in possession as the owner of the estates. The Lord Chancellor, however, on that occasion was of opi nion that the verdict of the Jury did not decide all that was in dispute between the patties, as the agree ment might have been entered into by the plaintiff and defendant through mutual mistake, that neither of them knew of the previous marriage of their pa rents, 'in which case it would be impossible for the Courtto declare that the plaintiff had committed such ;7t fraud on the defendant as entitled the latter to re lief, or, as his Lordship observed, that they might ,both have had a knowledge of the private marriage, but from its doubtful nature have considered they were meeting the equity of the case by the agree ment, in which event the Court would not disturb it. His Lordship, therefore, wished to hear a Counsel on each side on that point, and appointed an early day fOr that purpose, on account of the plaintiff being imprisoned by the defendant in the King's Bench for a debt claimed to be due to him; tnit on account of his Lordship's lamented indisposition (an attack of the gout), and Mr. HARTS (Counsel for the defen dant) family •loss, the death of his wife, it did not .come on to be heard until 41tis day. Mr. HART was heard at great length for the De fendant. He did not deny but his client had a know ledge of the private marriage, but contended that the Plaintiff was also in possession of the circnin. }ranee when the agreement was entered into ; and to 'prove this, he stated several letters written by the Plaintiff to the Defendant, and laid particular stress upon one, where the Plaintiff complained of the con dUct of the Defendant, in starting the question of *legitimacy, and the hardship of his pressing on him the terms of the agreement—where he says, " Are, we' not brothers, the sons of the same patents? Did they ever make any difference in their attentions to you, myself, or our ever-to-be-regretted elder bro ther ? If he and our father were now living, would you ever have attempted to have thrown such a slur upon the best of women, our mother?" The Learned . Counsel contended, that this passage :hewed that he knew of the private marriage, but doubted its validity. Mr. HEALD, Counsel for the Plaintiff, contended that at the time his client entered into the agreement with the defendant he had no knowledge of the'pre riot's private marriage 'of his patents, but that he Wired into it to prevent the feelings of his family being hutti' as 'the plaintiff had Flamed to him the JertificateAt marriage , iishich on the face of it shewed, t heohe weanot born in tile Rale of that "piasviage. T r 4 letters, read . b ed hisi Learn trlenci, Mr. t, accordkiii* his (Mt. Ifea(crs) constrno ir of them, proved that to Lho fact, par . cicidarly that timer which was so much on by the other side. Ile would Ask his LotdsbiP whtOns, the meaning of the words ; "We art ME sons of tne same parents, &c. If our Faller and elder brother were now living would you attempt to throw such a slur on our mother?" Did it not me.tn, " if my mo ther was so unfortunate as to have cohabited with my father before marriage,_ you, as their son, ought to be the last person .to expose the circumstance to the world ?" This, he contended, was the true con struction, for if the plaintiff had known there had been a private marriage at that time he would have said, " It is tthe you are the eldest son of the public marriage, but I will defend the right of my mother and sisters on the previous private marriage." The LORD CMANCELLOt. .at two o'clock, said. " Proceed with this case to-morrow, for I amobligetl to rise, having to attend the Prince Regent, relatives to the Recorder's Report of the criminals under sen tence of death.7—Further argument postponed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 19. THE MPG V. TIRE. This was an indictment for an assault against a warden of Smithfield Market, named Pike, on the • prosecution of a police officer, named Green. The defendant pleaded not guilty, upon which pies issue was joined. It appeaied frottr the evidence, that the defendant, some time in the month of October last, was sta domain Smithfield Market, and instructed to take tarathar :istsinaproperridinft should occur in it du ring the:tirce that the home fair was holden. A lad, the Pl4#l . pr man 4 .r i tp & ared to the defendant to b riding faier ishundi prescribed for the fait, kuifilisteethinftr iiwatprisdent tirricie in such a ctOvr4 Mlp filittati••as were then tuid.thers assembled. The :therefore went up to him, struck him on thediaok, quilegecl him to dismount, and then rode off wjtis.the.itOrle to the City Green-yard, in order to impougg if. The lad, not knowing what reason the aeferidariVhad for adopting such conduct, raised a crynfb Stbp thief;" updn which the prosecutor and another man named Beecher, both of them consta bles, *no happened, to be passing at the time that the boy raised the cry, told him to hoki his tongue, and followed the defendant, who was not easily dis tinguishable by his hat as a Man of authority, with the intentioh. of 'securing hint. They overtook him non' the City Green.yard, when they informed him that they were police officers, 'hewed their staffs, and demanded by what right he had taken the horse on which he was riding ? He answered them in the most abusive language, saying among other things, that 4 , they were no officers, but returned convicts ; he would have a special vestry summoned, and would have them tried by Court Martial," and cons eluded by positively refusing to deliver up the horse. .Considerable altercation then ensued between the parties, arid was terminated by the defendant de siring the keeper of the Grecri-vard to send for a con stable, as he intended to place Green and Beecher in custody. A constable of the name of Stocks was sent for accordingly, and on his ar r ival handcuffed Becher, and took him to the Compter. He was also proceeding to handcuff the prosecutor, when the pro secutor gaud that he had in his pocket his own hand. cuffs, which he should prefer wearing, if it were thought necessary to pinion him. He deemed it, how ever,.quite unnecessary, as he was very willing to accompany them to any Magistrate. During the tirbe•that this scene was transacting, a personal senile tcatistacie between the prosecutor and the defendant: this proseesitor charged the defendant with having commenced it, which the defendant as resolutely des nini• gleveral witnesses were examined upon this point ; afer which, • The Loan Cunt, Jurnevintsmed up the evis • ckace which they had given, and the Jury immedi ately returned a verdict of Guilty against defendant. JULY 20.—woowtorrE v. TQIUMS ANQ ANOTtiliffik This was action of trover to recover four horsk, claimed by the plaintiff, as lord of the manors of Claygate and Wyke, in the county of Surrey, as hcriois, alleged to be due upon the death of a gen tleman named Cousmaker, (of whqm the defendants are executors), according to the custom of those ma nors in respect to certain freehold tenements held by the deceased in his lifetime. The plaintiff rested his claim to these heriots upon proof of a custom said to be enjoyed by the lords of these manors, to take the best head of cattle, or the best furniture, which belonged at the time of his death to any freehold tenant who died within them. It appeared that the testator held three tenements, Glasiers, Westwoods, and Buckhursts, within the ma nors of Claygate and Vyke. The plaintiff, there fore, upon the death of Mr. COusmaker, claimed a heriot, for each of the two first-mentioned tenements, and two heriots for the last-mentioned tenement, for which ? as it had originally consisted of tWo distinct 'tenements, two were due by custom of the manor in which it was situated. Shortly afterwards.thejaailiff of the plaintiff went upon the lands, and marked two cart and two coach horses, as heriots for the They were, however, suffered to remai n on the pre mises of the deceased, for the use of his family; in order that *Ms executors might make their elections, whether they would deliver up the heriots, or com pound for them. The defendants, not being con vieced of thejtietieecof the lord's claim, determined to try his right'at law ; and from this: tleterrnination the present action arose. Mr. Bray,' the steward of the manors in trieStioe, produced the court-rolls, in order to .show the cus tom which. it was now attempted to establish. The evidence not being satisfactory, with regard to 4se tenement at Westwoods, the heriot claimed on ac count of it was abandoned by the plaintiff, k Sundry entries in the court-rolls were theit'tead respecting the other tenements—after which, it was agre-0 that the , plaintiff should have a verdiit for 100, thereby acknowledging a right to two lbetiots in respect to 13uckhursts, and one in rciptet siers, subject, however, to a motion, on 'the ?an of the lefendants, to seduce the verdict to 00, übtase the Court should be of opinion that ad beriot wat due foe Glasiers.
