LAW REPORi: COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 19. ASSAULT..-BEVAN V. MARTIN. Mr. Bevan brought this action against Mr. Martin for an assault and battery. The plain iff is the keeper of a boarding school, and churchwarden for the parish of Hendon. The defendant is a farmer in the same parish. In the month of November last the plaintiff, sent for the defendant to pay his church-rate ; a quarrel en'ued, and out of it grew the assault complained of. On the part of the plaintiff, two of his servants were called, who proved that on the occasion in question, Mr. Martin, when he came up to Mr. Bevan, asked,' 14 Who made you church warden ?—where you pay a shilling, I pay a pound; I'll shake you to watch-rib bons before I have done with you ;" that he then took the plaintiff by the collar, and shook him, to which the plaintiff replied, instead of a blow, by a remonstrance— •l Is this the way you pay the church rates?" Mr. Martin then gave Mr. Bevan a slap on one cheek, and eke a slap on the other, saying at the same time, 4 4 You are a d—d pretty fellow for a churchwarden!" Mr. Martin ultimately knocked the plaintiff down, and his head was considerably bruised in the fall. Mr. SCARLETT, in repli, commented on the impro bability of the story which had been told by the plain tiff's witnesses, and espeCially on the inactivity of his servants while the defendant was inflicting this assault. The Lout) Cuter Juseicz briefly summed up. Verdict fur the plaintiff—damages, £25. CONSPIRACY.—THE KING V. HOLLINBERY. Mr. BRODRICK opened the pleadings, which stated, that this was an action brought by Mr. Josiah Taylor, against persons of the name of Hollinbery, Bowley, and Smith, for conspiracy to extort money from him, under the threat of prosecution for keeping a gambling-house. Mr. SCAnLe7 r premised his opening, by stating, that no one could feel a stronger abhorrence of tl.e prac tices of gamblirig-Itooses than himself; but that there was, for this reason, no class of persons who were so much exposed to become the subjects of private pecu• lotion and corrupt gain. The very severe penalties of the law in case of their conviction, combined with the general hatred of gambling-houses, tended to induce these keepers to come to any compromise wi.h persons vho might threaten to prosecute them. The persons whose names appeared in the present conspiracy had carried on their netariois traffic to a great extent, be fore they had directed their attacks to Mr. Taylor, and at the period when they began their operations on him, Mr. Taylor had actually converted his gambling-house, in Albemarle -street, into a picture-shop. While Mr. Scarlett was stating his case, all the wit nesses in this cause were ordered to withdraw from the Court, and remain on the outside till called on. Having closed his opening case, the several indictments prefer. red against Mr. Taylor wete put in and read. Charles Molloy IVestrnacott, in the year 1822, was Editor of the Gazelle of Fr:Aldan ; about this period saw Ali. Haitibery. In the beginning of March, 182 J, dined with Mr. Hollinbery, at his chambers; went by the invitation of Hollinbery and Bowley ; knew Illwley before. Just previous to that period, understood from Bow ley that he had preferred an indictment against a gaming-house in King -street, St. James's, and had set tled it. Bowley, Hollinbery, and Smi h were present at ihis dinner, but no other person. While at dinner, witness discovered that he was iovited for the pu►pose of getting informati•m from him relative to Taylor.— Mr. Hollinbery stated his intention to prosecute Mr. Tayttr. One r f the party inquited of witness how they mig'.t gain admittance to F.elder's and Taylor's houses? They stated their object io be to extort money, and their words were, that •1 both of them were rich, and would bleed well." Nevet saw Smith before or since that time. Cross examined by Mr. Desrusx. Is not the Editor of the Graeae e fade lam now; gets his living by the publication of various works; one of these works is the catalogue we see on the outside of Sumerset-house. It is a sham catalogue, is it not ?—I &hontd not call it so, and I think you are wrung in calling it so. You are in the habit of making money by other means than the direct publication of it ? The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE interposed, and addressing the witness, told him it was not necessary to give any answer which would eliminate himself ; to which, thAnking his Lordship, he said he was ready to answer the question. Mr. DENMAN went on— have you ever received money for keeping the names of young artists out of your book?—Certainly never; I never in my life re ceived a bribe; I nevervpdirectly or indirectly, received a bribe. Did you ever receive money from Mr. Taylor ?—Certaialy never as agift. _ _ _ Did you ever receive money from Mr. Taylor, fur keeping his name cut of the Catena of Fashion ?—Certainly never. , Did you ever receive money from Fielder ?—Never. Witness never gent to Fielder's with pistols; was in the habit, about this period, of carrying pistols about him to protect himself. Did not think it necessary to siy from whom he got his information concerning Tay lor's house; knew that Taylor was rich, but nc t from his own transactions with him ; did not s4y that " Tay lor would bleed we:L" At the time of the dinner, lived in Jermyn-street; saw B)wley several times; advised him not to proceed against Taylor as he had done against the other houses. Cross-examined by Mr. Jusor, who appeared fur Sniitb—Cimi snunicated to Mr. Taylor that he would bt prosecuted, and named She parties. Is not Editor of the ltambler s Guide was save! in a gambling-house while play was going on. Mr. B. °rats proved the hand-writing of Hollinbery in several documents, which were put in and read. The frbt was a letter addressed to Mr. Taylor, and requesting the name of his professional advise,, in order that he might be spared the necessity of serving the Judge's order on him personally. The second was another let ter, requesting the name of his professional adviser, and saying two indictments were preferici against him. Mr. Brookes, cross-examined by Mr. Cows, who appeared for Bollinbery.—Mr. Holliabery was articled to witness ; during the time of serving his articles he conducted himself very properly. It appeared fr.m the evidence taken in addition to the above, that a pet son of the name of Scanaily was the bearer of the draft of a deed of release executed by one of the defendants to Taylor, who appointed a d4y for seeing Holliubery. The latter w; ited accordingly on Taylor, who would not see him. He also refused to give the money, or deliver up the release, and Hol linbery having insisted upon the delivery of the docu ment, which had been executed by his client, Taylor sent for a constable, who took him out of the house. The COMMON SERJEANT, as Counsel for Hollinbery, addressed the Jury, and contended that no case of con spiracy had been made out against his client. It was a *most serious charge, and conviction would subject the parties to severe punishment, therefore they ought to be cautious iu giving their verdict. If they should be of opinion the other defendants had been guilty of con spiracy, that would not inculpate Hollinbery, unless he also was clearly proved to be a conspirator. The pro. secution should be watched with the greatest jealousy. ' The person, at whose instance it was preferred, had been found guilty of the offence of keeping a gaming house, and the Jury should consider whether the object of this prosecution was not to deter attornies from con ducting indictments against persons keeping those pest/ of society, common gambling-houses. Mr. Ji&SOP and Mr. CHITTY, for Bow•ley and Smith, also addressed the Jury, and contended that the alleged conspiracy had not been made out. With respect to the evidence of Mr. Westmacott, it was urged as an ex traordinary fact, that he had not been examined as a witness for Taylor, when the latter was tried and found guilty. The defendants called no witnesses. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE stated the law as it applied to conspiracy. Two must conspire, in order to consti- tute the offence. The Jury had to consider not only whether Bosley and Smith had conspired against Taylor, but whether Hollinbery had entered into the conspiracy? His Lordship stated the evidence with a point of law arising out ot the words of the indictment, and left the Jury to say whether the facts warranted the conclusion, that the defendants bad conspired for the purpose,of extorting, by threats of proseCirtion, a sum of money from Taylor ? _ The Jury found all the deiendants Guilty. ANNIVERSARY of the SUNS of the CLERGY. Yesterday the Annual Festival of this excellent Cha ritable Insti ution was celebrated at St. Paul's Cathe dna, where these was a most brilliant assemblage cf, rank and beauty. At a little before twelve o'clock the Right Hon. t' e Lr rd Mayor, accompanied by the Lady Nlayore.s at d family, in their state carriage, the Sheriffs in tl.eit state coaches, and several AtJermen, with their Ladies, arrived at the COedral; and shortly after die Canadian Chiefs, four in number, dressed in the must peculiar manner, made their appearance, and were cal.- ducted to a stall, where they to k their seats, and a'. cted great notice. The atic Procession was met by the Stewards, the Dean of the Cathedrals and the Prebendaries of the Church. _ _ Among the company we noticed, the Archbishops of Canterbury at d York, the Bishops of London, Worcester, Ely, Litchfield and Coventry, Gloucester, Sodor and Man, Llantlati, Chester, Lin— I can, Bangor, Salisbury, St. Asaph, St. David's, Ste. with several Noblemen, Members of Parliament, &c. &c. The pews and gal. I series presented a most splendid appearance. The performance commeticeJ with the Grand Over. tare of Weber, which was executed in the most in is terly style, and after the second Lesson for the day w. s read, Handers Grand • Detlingen Je Ileum, and th ' Jubilale, with trii Grand Chorus from the Messiah were performed with admirable eirzct. After the third Collect an Anthem from Handel was sung, and after wards an Anthem from Dr. Boyce, composed on pur pose for this charity, which was executed with consi derable taste. At the conclusion of the mitsic an elo quent discourse was delivered by the Rev. J. H. Monk, D.D. Dean of Peterborough, and the whole concluded with Handers Grand Coonation Anthem. At the conclusion of the service, the friends and pa trons of the Insetutinn repaired to Merchint Taylors' Hall to dinner, and about six o'clock upwards of two hundred persons set down to a sumptuous enter tainment, the Right lion. the Llrd Mayor in the chaff-, supported on the right by the Archbi,h-p of Canter bury, and cn the lets by the Archbishop of York. L' ri Chief Justice Abbott, Sir Claudius Szt•plicn Hunter, A'. dcrmaa Sir Char'es Flower, and oilier l ersons of dis tinction attended. In the course of the evening the Canadian Chiefs volunteered some harmony, and chaunted some music in their own peculiar way, which was very amusing, and met with great applause. The Subscription was announced as follows The Rehearsal of Music at St. Paul's £IC9 5 6 The Anniversary 217 3 1 At the Dinner 620 13 0 Immediately after the division on tl‘e Ca'holic Bill, an Express was sent off to Dublin, ria Liverpool, with the result, and another was sent off also by the way of Holyhead. It was anticipated by the Catholics themselves, that the Bill would be rejected in the House of Lords, but not by so large a majority. DARING ROBBEKY.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, while the set van were engaged in the upper part Of the house of Sir It Bear KENNEDY, in Wimpole stte t, some thief or thieves entered the k . tchen, by pasting down into the area over the railing, an.' pro ceeding to the pantry, where the plate was lying for ti,e purpose of being cleaned, they carried off an assortment of silver ladles, spo-ns, f irks, &c. to a considerable amount in value, and got clear away with then without having been observed. A very extensive coin rge has taken place for export to the English Colonies, to supersede the dollars and other circulating medium in all the English possessi.ms This measure will facilitate the exchange of -all articles, and greatly promote commerce. A Court-Martial was held on Friday, on board the GENOA, 74, in Ilamoaz-, on Mr. W. TURNER, late Purser of the HARLEQUIN, when he was adjudged to be dismissed his Maj sty's service. Monday 1 ist, a brig was launched at Monmouth. The interesting spectacle aurae ed great crowds, and, as.is customary, about 200 went on board, to remain on deck during the launch. Due precaution had been taken against acci:lent ; but, unfortunately, as the ves sel approached the river,.the ground, which supported the extremity of the ship on one side, gave way, and she began to float—she lurthed nearly to her beam ends, and precipitated fourteen persons into the water, which was of considerable depth. Many were in stantly rescued by the active and praiseworthy exer tions of th~e ; but three youths were I sat. Bishop 'WREN calculated that he walked round the earth while a prisoner in the Tower of London. Even Swirl. counted the number of steps he took between London and Chelsea; and a Reverend Divine wrote one hundred and nineteen Sermons on thell9th-Psalen. REMEDIES.—For the gout, toast and water; for bile,. exercise; for cum, easy 6110eS; for rheumatism, new' flannel and patience; for the tooth-ache, pluck it out ; and for love, matrimony. Nearly all the journeymen tailors throughout the Metropolis struck on Monday last ; and many masters have acquiesced in their demands, 44 that no work should be sent out to be done by women." The'bee-hives of Egypt are made of coal-dust and clay, which being well blended together, they form of the mixture a hollow cylinder, of a span diameter, and as long as they please, from six . to twelve feet; this is dried in the sun, and it becomes so hard that it may be handled at will. The grand saloon in the town hall, where in 1811, the City of Brussels gave a splendid fete to NAP O LEON and the Empress MARIA LOUISA, is now fined up for the fetes to be given on the marriage of FREDRAIC, the second ion of the King of the NETMERLANIM POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ---•+o.-- GUILDHALL COMBINATION AMONG TIM SHOZMANBILL.-4IIIKS Barnes, a Out neyman ladies' shoemaker, was brought before Mr. Alderman Amur yesterday, upon the charge of Messrs. J. and H. Gamble, of Fish-street-hill, shoe-manufacturers. Mr. Henry Gamble stated the case.—The only witness called was one John Hudson, who stated that he was in the employ of Mr. Gamble, and had heard nothing of the strike till that morning, when, as soon as he had quitted the shop, the prisoner delivered to him a copy of the address, and in a few words pressed him to join the Society. His master did not give the fu ll wages, but he had work winter and summer, and was perfectly satisfied. The prisoner said he had not obstructed, nor threatened anybody. He was in the employ of Mr. Bowtell, of Skinner -street, and when he worked hard could earn but 159. a week. . Mr. Alderman AIiiLEY deeply lamented these combinations among labourers to advance their wages just at this moment. Mi nisters had been doing all they could to enable our merchants to send goods abroad at a cheaper price, and the journeymen, by now raising the cost of manufacture, just rendered nugatory all the aids Government had afforded. As, however, the prisoner was anxious to have legal assistance, and the presence of a second Magistrate would be necessary to convict him, he was remanded. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, Thomas Burrell, a known thief, was brought up, charged with attempting to pick the pocket of Mr. John Garrett. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, except that he made no resistance until he was knocked down, and otherwise ill-treated. No actual felony having been committed, he was sent under the Police Act for three months to the House of Correction, there to be kept to hard labour. Cnor'es Jones, Edward Daly, and James Nark, three young fellows well known to the police, were examined on a charge of picking pockets. Tke prisoners were fully committed for um!. MA R L A-BONNE. BIfIANVI.- A Gentleman named Sed:ey, who resided at Claren don-square, Sonters Town, was again brought before the Magis trate, on a charge of bigamy, and tully committed for trial. L A NI 11F.111-STRE ET. About ten days since, a communication was made to the Magis trates at this office, that an individual who had committed an ex• teitsive felony at the house of a Gentleman named 11111, at North Shields, where he had been an inmate in the family for some time, and with the stolen property was on his passage to London, on board tho Charlotte, Captain Custard, belonging to the port of Shields, and requesting their Worships would cause him to be ar re-ted, before he reached the shore. In consequence. of this communication, Mr. Miller, the Chief Constable of this establishment, Was dispatched to Gravesend, where he remained two days before the vessel came up the river, and upon going upon deck the Captain piped all hands, and both the clew and the passengers were mastered, and amongst the latter he discovered an individual whose gentlemanly appearance and serious manner indicated nothing of guilt. Miller, however, pro ceeded to ovetkaul the luggage of the persons on board, and in the trunks belonging to the unsuspected man he found a quantity of plate, the marks engraved thereon corresponding with those stolen, besides other property. The owner of the trunk was thereupon arrested, and brought to London before the Magistrates, to account for the possession of the property. On being placed at the bar, he stated his name to be William Toynor, and that he was a surgeon by profession ; the Magistrates, however, were very confident he was not the person he described himself to be, on account of a quantity of manuscripts on theolo• gical subjects found in his trunks. However, he persisted in his statement, and the account, he gave of the possession of the spoons was so unsatisfactory, and not even knowing the initials engraved on the spoons, though he declared he had had them in his custody IS months, that the Magistrates remanded hint to prison ler sf week, and in the meantime information of his arrest was dispatehed to the Magistrates of Shields, advising them of the apprehension of the accused. And tni Wednesday evening, a constable, named William Adamson, arrived in town with a warrant,signed by Messrs. Wright and Lkierton, the Magistrates at the Port of Shields, in which the prisoner, who was therein described as the liev..kbraham n r. charged with felony, and authorising his immediate removal to that ;dace. Yesterday ttie prisoner was brought up for !Further examination, before Joan 11A RDWICE, Esq. On being placed at the bar, he seemed fully sensibL.t of the dreadful situation in which he was placed, and during the investigation he was at times n 3 .l%fh agitated, and wept bitterly. He admitted that he was the wretched being described in ' the warrant, and that he was a Minister of the Established Church. The constable stated, that the prisoner, about three weeks ago, came to North Shields, where he went by the name of George Miller, and represented himself as the Chief Clerk to the Secre tary of his Majesty's Commissioners of Onion's in London, and that he was sent there for the purpose of watching a vessel supposed to have contraband goods ois board. In this charac ter he eugag.d lodgings at the house cf a Mrs. Hill, and such was her confisknce in him, that she frequently went from home, and left him in charge of her boast, and on one of those oc casions, while she went to visit her !unhand, who resided then at Newcastle, for the benefit of his health, the prisoner sent fur a locksmith, who resided at a distant parr of the town, who picked the locks of a chest of drawers, stating, that his wife had gone from borne, and that he wanted a document of an important nature. Having succeeded in opening the drawers, he stripped them tif their contents, and with the whole of the family's wardrobe, to gether with the plate, all of which property he removed without detection, and went as passenger on board the Charlotte; but for tunately he had overload an old tea-daddy, in which was depo sited about 801. The constable further stated, that there were several other charges of felony to be prelerred against him by pub licans ill Sunderland. The prisoner listened with the most profound attention to the constables statement. The prisoner seemed very much dejected on being removed frogs the liar, when orders were given to remove him forthwith to Shirkls e t• await his trial. UNION-HALL. llogse•Serm.mc.—Roltert Hinton, a youth of about seventeen years of age, was charged with stealing a brown mare, the property of John Flack, of Lambeth Butts, carman. The prosecutor has recovered his horse, which was stolen from a paddock in Brixton Washway, on the 10th :nst. and sold the same day at Komford ma►. ket.—Bemanded until Wednesday. A great many horses have been stolen from the neighbourhood of Brixton Washway, several of which are known to have been wil fully injured by thi: driving of nails into their feet, to induce the knackers to purchase the poor animals for the slaughter Louse. The house lately inhabited by his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, in the 9: able-yard, is nearly levelled to the ground. The site for a new house will be on an' extensive scale, and the new mansion, when built,• will present a grand view from St. James's Pads. It is remarkable that all the English Monarchs who' have wedded French Princesses have met an untimely end. Edward the Second, who married Isabella of France, was murdered in the most cruel manner, by Gournay and Mautravers, at Berkeley Castle. Richard the Second, mart ied also to a Princess named Isabella; by Sir Piers Exton and accomplices, at Pomfret Castle, or, as thought by Hume, starved to death there. Henry the Sixth killed in the Tower, as said, by Richard Duke of Gloucester; and Charles the First, who married Henrietta Maria, daughter of Henry the Fourth be headed in front of the Palace, at Whitehall. The celebrated Mademoiselle Beonvretw, of theThea tre Francais, passing through the streets at a late hour, on a cold raw night, was accosted by a poor woman with four little children on her back, who, in a tone of bitter suffering besought the actress to take pity on her destitute condition. She felt in hir pockets, but unfor tunately had nothing in them. Wait," said she 'I my good woman, and I will give you more than you could have hoped for;" and instantly throwing off her mantle she began to recite the imprecations of Camilla, with a vehemence and superior talent which soon collected a crowd around her, notwithstanding the inclemency of the season. She then made a collection among the auditors, and with the fruits of her charitable exertions save the poor woman, a sufficient sum to provide lodg sags and clothes for her infants. OLD LIAILEY SESSIONS, MAY 19. Wilfred Barad, who was described in the calendar as being 19 years of age, and by trade a shoemaker, was indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of Thos. Sedgwick, Esq. of Highbury-grove, Islington, a gold watch, chain, and key, the property of that Gentleman, Elizabeth Browne stated that she was servant to Mr. Sedgwick; on the day in question the prisoner came to the house, and asked to see Mr. Stdgw . ck ? Witness told him her master was not at home. He then asked to see Mrs. Sedgwick ? and witness de-ired him to walk into the ball ; she requested to know the prisoner's name ? he said it was Captain Barnet, upon which she shewed him into a parlour, and sent Miss Sedgwick tn him. Shortly afterwards Miss Sedgwick called her: and bade her raise an alarm, f r the prisoner had stolen her watch. He had then left the house, and witness vests in pursuit of him. Up , n seeing witness, he ran dosVst the grove : but on the approach of three men he stopped] and asked witness if she wanted anything ? Witness said she wanted him, and charged him with having stolen the watch, upon which he handed it to her, and then thought to get away, but witness called out to stop him, and the three men hefore.menvoned detained him. Miss Sedgwick stated, that upon go'ng into the room where the prisoner was, he said, " You don't want any spirits ?" Witness said " No;" and the prisoner passed out. She had shortly before placed her watch in a case o • the cabinet, and upon examining it, she found the case exactly as she had left it, but the watch was gone. On her cro3s•examination, she said the Watch was her own, it having been the gift of her mother, and no person had any curs: trout over it but herself. _ _ Mr. LAW, the prisoner's Counsel, here claimed all acquittal for his client, the watch being laid in the in• dictment as the property of Mr. Sedgwick. Mr. Justice GASELEB, on.examining the indictment, found the fact to be so, and therefore directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner. The Jury accordingly found him—Not Guilty. The same priso-er was then tried upon another in dictment, which charged him with stealing seven silver , poons, value 4/. in the dwelling-house of Samuel Cater: On this indictment he was found Guilty. James Harper was indicted for stealing three geld; ;rigs and a mare, the property of Joseph Batten.— It appeared that on the 15th of March, the eable door of Mr. Batten, who keeps a public-house in village in Hertfordshire, was broken open, and four 'of his horses taken away. On the preceding day the prisoner, in company with other men, came down to the village by one of the coaches, and on alighting, they threw a basket on the ground; in which something sounded like stirrups. In twc•days after lite robbery, the primer and another Min went to the King's Arms, at Bow, Middlesex, with the stolen horses, which he gave in charge to the hostler, directing him not to give them up to any person but himsell,• or somebody whom he wouki send with a note, and money to pay for their keep. It also appeared that be sold two of the horses to another person, whom he allowed to take them first upon trial, on lodging with him a deposit of IW. and he did not afterwards re turn to claim either the horses or the remainder of the purchase-money. A variety of other circumstances were preyed, opon which the Jury returned a verdict. of Guilty. Join Tstrpim, alias Tuck, was indicted fora burglary, with intent to steal, in the house of Martha Nl'i,d• in Little Rider -street, St. James's. The ',acts of this case having been recently detailed a,length in the SiAn, it Will be sufficient here merely to repeat, that one of Mrs. Wisdom's lodgers, named Enderby, being alarmed by the noise of persuns endeavouring to break: in at the parlour-window, armed himself with a poker, and sti:od beside the window. He observed three 'men, ore of whom he believed to be the prisoner, force open the shutters, and raise the window ; a hand, with a derk lantern was then thrust in, at which he aimed a blow of the poker ; but it only took effect in knocking the lantern into the area. The thieves then ran away, two in one direction, and the third in another. He called out " Stop thieves!" leaped through the wirtdow, and saw the prisoner running towards St. James's-street ; but meeting a watchman, he turned back and ran towards Mr. Enderby and ano ther watchman, who stopped and took him to the watch-house, where he gave his name as John Tuele. One of the watchmen, named Elliot, said it was moonlight at the time, and there was plenty of light from the gas. The prisoner said that Elliot had sworn at Marlborough -street, that it was day-light.— Elliot denied this. The Learned Junco referred Wise depositions, and it was not so' stated there. Mr. Mumma said, that notwithstanding its omission in the depositions, the witness had certainly stated at Marlborough-street that it was day-light.—The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was very respectably dressed. His wire, who is rather a fine-looking woman, was in the gallery during the trial : upon the announcement of the ver dict, she sh-ieked out, and was carried from the Court in a fit. Currosts.—The Bill now before the Legislature ors this subject, will repeal no less than four hundred and sixty-five Acts - of Parliament ! In the village of Minster Love!, the consequences of fever in the family of the late William Hearne, a car penter, in a small way of business, has been most cala- , mitous. The family consisted of a husband, wife, and twelve children, chiefly females; the first victim was a daughter, of the age of fourteen ' • then the father, aged fifty-three; the eldest son aged fifteeb ; and another daughter, aged eighteen, lay dead in the house toge ther, and were buried the same day. On Saturday se'nnight the wife died, leaving an orphan family of seven children. Oakham, in Rutlandshire, is remarkable for the tenure of the Barons Ferrell, who hold it by taking off a shoe from every Nobleman's horse that passes with his Lord through the street. unless redeemed with rs certain piece of money. In token of this, several gilded shoes are nailed upon the Castle-gate. A shoe was paid for by the Duke of YORK, in 1788. II A I L&-: •al.
