The ground very deep, from the great fall of snow on Wenesday morning. This case had excited a consilerable degree of in terest in the Eastern part of the county, and was called rather unexpectedly at the close of the day.— The defendant is a clergyman, reading at Tintagel, the plaintiff, who is a daughter of the former cler gyman of that place, also resided time. For several years a courtship was carried on between the parties,- which at one time had suffered an interruption, but, on the solicitation of the defendant, it was again re newed. This was in the year 1811 ; and the inti macy was continued until the death of the defen dant's father, in 1814 ; when he be:ame possessed of property worth 10 or 12,000/. On this event taking place the defendant discontinued his attentions to the plaintiff, and in 1816 he married another person.— The plaintiff brought an action for damages, and the defendant allowed judgment to go by default. Application was immediately made to the Court of King's Bench, on behalf of the plaintiff, to have the damages, which were laid at 2000/. assessed before the Judge at the Assizes. For this purpose a Jury, composed of respectable householders in Launceston, was empanelled. Mr. Serje4nt PILL stated the plaintiff's case—he dwelt on the hopes which the plaintiff had been in duced to entertain; the disappointment and injury she had sustained, and the strong claim she had to damages as extensive as the circumstances of the de ' fendant would allow. The plaintiff, he said, was not in afiluent circumstances; the death of her father had compelled her to depend for support, in a great de gree, on her own industry. Wiest the defendant first addressed her, he had no other income than what he derived from his curacy—when he became rich he deserted her, from base and interested motives. He knew not what line of defence would be adopted, hut if the defendant presumed to throw out any insinua tions•against the plaintiff's character which he could not support by evidence, he was sure the Jury would consider such a line of conduct as a great aggrava tion of the injury he had done the plaintiff, and visit it with increased damages. In the course of his ad dress, the learned Serjeant read a letter' from the de- Judith Hale, for setting fire to the premises of Mr. fendant to the plaintiff, on which he commented to JOHN LAY, of Chapel, and William Brown, for sheep- . the great amikement of the Court. stealing, at Walton, left for execution at Chelmsford, 'The hand-writing of the defendant being proved, received a respite.

Mr. GASBLEE addressed the Jury for the defer. dant. lie lamented that the conduct of the plaintiff, who, he conceived, acted under the influence of others, had rendered the present exposure necessary, by refusing to allow of the usual mode of assessing damages before the Sheriff; and bringing it forward at the Assizes. It was to avoid this exposure that the defendant had allowed judgment to go by de fault. Now, however, it must take place ; and though it was painful to do so, he should be compelled to call witnesses to prove, what, he was ready to admit, would not tend to the credit of his client. But the defendant had no alternative, and must submit to the humiliation of publishing his errors ' to preserve his wife and family from r uin. H e s hould prove that the plaintiff knew of the connexion between the defendant and his present wife when she formed the engagement with him ; and that on ltarni..g his mar riage, she said she was glad (tit; for she knew that she herself could never he happy with him, and there fore would not marry him. On the letter which had been read, he would not comment ; for he never saw a love letter that would bear a cool examination.— When men wtote on this subject, their heart was too - warm, and their head too flurried, to allow of their studying language. If the defendant had broken his engagemust with the plaintiff, it was not dore through avarice; for he had married a servant of his fathers, whom he had deprived of respectability : he was sorry for his misconduct, and had endeavoured to repair it. The Counsel for the plaintiff bad been severe on the defendant; hut the worse he was repre cented to be, the worse must be thought of the plain tiff for entering into an engagement with him ; be sides, she was not in needy circumstances, as she had lately received a legacy from a relative. If he proved these iitcts, he was confident tie Jury would not exceed very moderate damages. The Learned Gentleman was about to call his wit nesses, when a compromise took place, and a verdict for 200/. damages was entered by consent. HUNTING.

WIXDSOR, filmiest 30.—0 n Thursday, the early part of the morning the weather was unfavourable for co...r•iog, when Lord Rivers, with IS couple of fine Greyhourc!s, ent,•red the little lark. The Prince of Hesse Homberg, and a great number of spectators, were assembled to see she sports. The coursing was very good, and there were some fine runs. The Prince appeartd highly gratified with the sport. The same morning the Berkeley fox-hounds tl:rew off in Windsor G. - eat Park, where they soon found a fine large fox, near Virginia Waters, which shewed great sport ; he made several turns in the Park, but soon went out, and took to the left across the Math to Trump'► Mili, and then to the nght across the Heath towards B.gshot Park, whelks they ' lost him. Oa Friday morning a fine deer was turned nut near Stfi 11111,i and took first across the commons and enclosures towards the Uxbridge Road, which he crossed, and ran with great swiftness towards Watford, in Hertfordshire, where he was taken in a mill-poad, after an excellent day's chace. The same morning Lord Rivers, attended by a number of Gentlemen, took the diversion of coursing in the Little Park . ; they had great sport ; the hares are very plentiful. In one of the matches run at the Spring Meeting of the Turriff Coursing Club, Speed, a greyhound belonging to :kir. Gordon, of Nethermuir, took a most extraordinary leap over a hedge, six feet high, with a double ditch; when the distance was mea ' sured, it was found that at this leap the dog had cleared an ex tent of not less than 23 feet, after which he continued the course with unabated vigour, and won his match. ASSIZES. CORNWALL ORRAT GRINNIS MINE CAVIL DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF HENLEY V. MATTrIEW WOOD, ESQ. LATE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. This important cause came on to be tried at Laun ceston Assizes, before a Speck.' Jury, on Thursday last, when Mr. Justice ABBOTT stated, that the very learned Judge, Mr. Justice HOLROYD, who tried the cause last year, entertained a strong opinion that the instrument, upon which the ejectment had been brought, would not support the action, and expressed his wi s h that the facts should thererore be put in the record, in the shape of a special 'verdict, in order that that question-might first undergo the consider ation of the Court, and be ultimately brought for its final determination before the House of Lords, if either party should think fit. Same little evidence was, however, given on the part of the defendant, from which it appeared, that the defendant had never been in possession of any of the workings of Henley, the father of the plaintiff ; that Henley had deserted the excavations which he had made some months before his death, and declared his intention of not returning to them, as no ore was to he found, and that nothing was done there for fourteen or fif teen months afterwards ; at the end of which time, the lord of the soil, with a view to take advantage of the forfeiture which had been incurred by Henley,' granted a license to Mr. Joshua Rowe, from whom the defendant derives his title, to work as a new ad venturer, distinct from the old grant, and put Mr. 1 1 Rowe into possession.—The only question left for the, Jury was, with reference to two other mines, which the plaintiff sought to recover by this action, as to which they immediately found for the defendant. WADE V. CRAY. LANCASTER, MARCH 23. Thomas Marshall was convicted of sacrilege, in breaking into the parish church of Walton, on the Hill, and stealing therefrom a gown, two surpl:es, a pulpit Bible, and a looking-glass. On Sunday, the 28th September, the robbery was coroniittr.•d, and on the following day the prisoner was proved to have pawned at Liverpool the looking-{;lass ; on the 2d of October, he pledged the Bible, me churchwarden's name having been obliterated, and in two days alit.r he offered to pawn the gown and surplices, the IT. mer of which had been metamorphosed into a lady's dress, and the latter into gentlemen's shirts the pro cess of the change was clearly traced. The Jury without hesitation found the prisoner Guilty.

BIG/OlL—John Baridson, of Manchester, wac charged with marrying a second wifo. his first wife being, to use the language of the indictment, " in full life." The second marriage, to _Ann was proved by Isaac Isaacs, a sew, and the tirit. by only a single witness. No certificate of the registers being produced, his Lordship left it to tln: Jury to say whether the loose evidence which had been pro duced made out the charge against the prisoner to their satisfaction.—The Jnry acquitted the prisoner. His Lordship said, the Jury had decided properly ; it was not safe to rely on the evidence of a Jew, call ed to prove the marriage of Christians, of which he could know nothing. James Slater was found guilty of stealing a play at Longton, the property of John Hains. The priso ner said he did not mean to steal it ; he was seeking work, and being tired with walking, he had borrow ed it to ride on. Unfortunately for this defence, the prisoner had kept the pony rather too long, having had possession of it about two days. The Jury, pr..- bably moved by the small value of the pony, and the apparent simplicity of the prisoner, recommend ed him to pardon. His Lordship seemed surprised at the terms of this recommendation, and one of the Jurors said, not to pardon but to mercy. His Lord ship wished to know their reason for this recommea dation ?

BROADHURST V. MILLER. The plaintiff, aged 6:2, was in a respectable station of life, living in Cheshire, but who lately had become embarrassed in his circumstances, and mas desirous to go to America : he had married a female of the name of Lawton, and his brother and sister-in-law were desirous to accompany him. Accordingly, on the 14th of July, the three went on board the Samp son, bound to America, and each paid 8/. for their passage. On the 15th, Mr. Miller, Superintendant of the Police of Liverpool, came on board, accompa nied by one Ford, a Custom-house Officer. He ad dressed himself to Lawton (the plaintiff being pre sent), and said—" Your name is Atkinson?" His sister said—" His name is not Atkinson, but Law ton.'" Mr. Miller said—" I have letters to shew to the contrary," and ordered the trunks to be opened : they wet e opened, and in one of them was found a pocket-book, with the name of Lawton at length. This was shewn to Mr. Miller ; but that would not do, and he ordered Mr. Broadhurst and his brother , in-law into the boat, from which they were convey e d ' to Liverpool Jail, and placed with other felons, where they continued until his sister came from on beard ' the ship, and espied them through the gratings of the windows. She supplied them with meat until the 19th of July, when they were brought up before a Magistrate, and no evidence appearin g aga i nst them, they were discharged. This was the nature of the case, and it required no observations from him to enable the Jury to estimate the wrongs of a fellow man, who had been deprived of that best blessing, liberty, on the supposition that he was a manufactur ing man going to America, whereas he w:.s a musi cian. When these facts were provd, he should be entitled to ample compensation.—After several wit nesses had curroboraied the above statement, Mr. Sena:Arr. contended, that Nlr. Miller was not answerable for the injury the plaintiff had sustained, but Mr. Futd, who proved that he had merely taken Mr. Miller watt him to as i:t, is case t!'ere should be any resistauce.
