ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. LANCASTER, Aus. 25. CIVIL Siog—Before Mr. Bamo HOLLOCL SURUESS V. °REAVES. This was an action of assumpsit brought to recover a compensation for damage done by the defendant to a horse which he had hired from the plaintiff. It ap peated horn the evidence offered for the plaintiff, that the plaintiff was a livery it ible keeper at Lancaster, and that in May lakt the defendant had hired a horse for the purpose of going to a place called Liam-green, and back. The distance was about eight or nine miles. Instead of going there, the defendant put the horse into a car, and drove to Wigan fair, a distance of SS miles there and back. The defendant was observed by one of the plaintiff's servants going to Wigan by a road quite d;fferent fiom that which led to Irlam-green. The horse, which was taken out at seven in the morning, was not returned until ten o'clock at night, and then in such a condition that it became necessary to send for a farrier. The horse was in good condition when it left, , the plaintiff's, but was so much injured by exertion on that day that it had ever since been in a very bad state. It was at the time of the hiring worth thirty guineas, but it was not now worth thirty shillings. Several witnesses were called to prove the case. On their cross-examination it appeared that the delendant was a remarkably heavy man, and the horse a very small one. Mr. BROUGHAM, for the defendant, attempted to prove that when the plaintiff's servant brought the horse to the defetidant, the latter objected to the horse on the ground that it was not strong enough to carry so heavy a man as himelf, but that plaaniff's servant pressed the defend .nt to take it, tinting that if the horse was too small to be ridden, it would do very well to run in a gig. It was also sworn that the defendant told the servant that he was gc.ing.to Wigan fair. The Jury found a verdict fur the plaintiff-damages eighteen pounds. DEEMING V. GIBSON AND OTRBRIL This was an action of troller brought to recover the value of certain goods which it was alleged the de fendants had wrongfully seized under an execution. The plaintiff was the guard of a stage coach, and sometime ago married a person of the name of SMith. For some season or other the marsiage was not made public, and the plaintiff continued to live as a lodger in the house of his wife, who passed by the name of Smith. It hap pened whilst the plaintiff and his wife were living in the manner described, that a judgment was obtained in the County Court of Lancaster by a person of the name of Cheetham against another Mrs. Smith; who lived in the plaintiff's neighbourhood: The consequence was, that an execution was isaned, and the goods of the plaintiff's wife were taken in mistake for thrue of the seal Mrs. Smith. The defendants were Mr. Gibson, the High Sheriff of the county, two attor nies of the name of Chew, and a bailiff; who hid executed the process. The High Sheriff was ac quitted early on the trial, because it appeared that the proceeding having taken place in the County Conn, the writ was not, as iu ordinary cases, directed to the She riff; and it was contended on the behalf of Mr. Chew, that as his direction to the bailiff had been to take the goodt. of Mrs. Smith, he (Mr. Chew) ! was not liable for the consequence of a mistake if the bailiff exceeded his duty. Ar no evidence was offered-of.ther marriage. of the plaintiff with Mrs. Smith, . the Learned Judge de• cidOtthat the plaintiff could not recover for any goods which before the execution had been. held out to the wdtld as Mrs. Smith's property, and the question there fort was reduced to a claim for a gold watch..uf the pliintiff's, which bad been taken away with the other property. The Learned JUDGE directed the Jury to say what they thought was the value of the watch, and they valved it at eight guineas. The Learned Judge then ordered the plaintiff to be nonsuited. w ith liberty to move the Court of King's Bench to set aide the new suit, sad enter a yetdies for the plaintiff for eight guineas. CSOWN SIDE.I3.efOrC Mr. Anti= 11411.1.1f4. and Joka . Barber was charged wish feloniessly killing and shying Richard Thomas, at Liverpool, on the 6th of July last.'

After the prisoner bad sat for some time in the yard, he said that he should like to make up his quarrel with the deceased, and that if the deceased would consent, be (the prisoner) would stand a pot of sevenpenny ale. Witness thinking that the prisoner's passion had left him, then again let him into the house. As soon as the prisoner entered he went up to the deceased, and repeated that be would pay for a pin of ale if deceased would be friends and forget what had passed. Deceased said that be had no objection, as his nose bad only bled a little. and be was not much worse for it. The ale was procured, and the prisoner seed the deceased to go into the yard to think it.

Sally Scanlan, the wile of the last witness, stated. that she remembered the night when the house was bus-, ken open last year. The men who broke in were lout in number. The prisoners were two of Ahem. The prisoner Clough had in his hand something very like a gun, but witness could not say rh.t it was a gun. Wit ness's child made a noise, and Clough, in or.'er to make it quiet, held the tick or gun over it. The pri soner Stacey had a hankerchtef over his mouth and nose, and had his hut polled down so as to hide his eyes. Toe handkerchief kept slipping down, and that enabled Wit ness to see his face. _ _ John Bardsley stated, that he lived neat the prisoner Clough, and Remembered seeing him soon altesScanlan's hOuse had been broken into; witness asked him if he knew that he was suspected ?

A MIRACLE!—Our readers are already apprised that Mr. Dawsopt expended over ten thousand pounds in conometing a market on the site where Ormond Market bad once stood ;and that for some reason or other not a stall was occupied, and that the whole structure remained a dead weight upon Isis bands. It "at objected indeed that the stalls were inconvenient; that they were too dark, too light, too narrow , too wide, too large, too small; and many other equally cogent and consistent reasons were urged against them. The tact is, they were most commodious and complete; but nevertheless the objections remained in force, and the nab remained untenanted. It is said that on Thursday eveniug a select deputation, beaded by Father ROGaL L'Earaanos, proceeded frost the Curn likehange to the New Market. A certain hocus poi ceremony was performed, sundry ablutions of holy water nude' and straightway every thing appeared in a new point of view. The objector to the light found the dark stall most commodious, while he who complained of width found himself quite at home within t h e precincts of those walls against which hr formerly prote.ted. Hoe the Wreck was wrought it Is not for as heretics even to coojettio c• One fact is worth a thousand assertions.
