THE MOWER TO THE GLOW-WORMS. Ye living lamps !—by whose dear light The nightingale does sit so late, And studying all the summer night— Her matchless song does meditate ! • Ye country comets!—tbst portend No war—nor Prince's•funeral. Shining unto no other end Than to presage the grass's fall! Ye glow-worms !—whose officious flame To wandering mowers shows the way— That in the night have lost their aim, And after foolish Ares do stray! Your courteous lights in vain you waste, Since Juliana Isere is come — For she my mind bath so displac'd, " That I shall never find my home ! • Amasser Wiens. • LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Anon 19. CROWDER E. STONE. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on coming into Court, gave judgment in this case, the questions in which arose upon the will of John Lloyd. After making certain Isposi. lions of his property, which it was not now necessary to advert to, he declared his will to be. that a sum of 1.1001. should be vested in trustees, to permit the divi dends and interest to be received by his wife during her life, and after her death to divide the principal sum equally between the testator's nephews and nieces, share and shale alike; he also directed, that in case of the desth of either of his nephews and nieces without having lawful issue, befiire the period for the division, the share or share t,t the parties so dying should be divided among the survivor or survivors of them, share and share alike. The first question to be decided on this will appeared to be as to the meaning of the testator in the provision relating to the death of his nephews or nieces without lawful issue. 'file words which occurred ih the* will, t +ken in their ordinary sense, had been held to mean an indefinite failure of issue; that ordinary sense must, however, be controlled by the period which the testator had fixed at which the shares were to become payable. One of the persons included in the description of nephews and nieces living at the deith of the testator, was a Mrs. Powell. 'She died leaving a son; that son died in 1799, and before the shares became payable. His Lord ship was of opinion that although Mrs. Powell died leaving lawful issue, yet that issue having afterwards died before the share became payable, neither she nor her issue took any thing under the will. The peat question was as to the shale ofJaneGreenwood,who died in 1802,with ' out issue. She survived Mrs. Powell and her son, and she therefore became entitled to a distributive portion of Mrs. Powell's shire; but as she herself died before the shares became payable, her own original share was] to be divided between the surviving legatees. Her ac-1 crued share was not, however, subject to the same rule; and although her original share must be divided, that .share which she took in consequence of Mrs. Powell's having died without issue was not to go over. His Lordship decided these points upon the authority which bad been cited at the bar, 10 ex park West." The only .remaining question was as to the share cf Mrs. Mat thews, another of the legatees, who, having married, aid before she was entitled in posse-sion to any share in the .testator s property, disposed of her reversionary interest in it, with the concutrenee of her husband.— This disposition, his Lordship was clearly of opinion, was invalid, on the principle laid down in " Purdew `,and Jackson." and " Hounor and Morton," and could 'shave no operation whatever. His Lordship directed the costs of all parties to be paid, with the exception of •those incurred by the patties representing Mrs. Mat : thews's claim. • ASSIZEINTEXLIGE OXFORD CIRCUIT.--GLOUCESTER, Atm 18. CSOWII Sons--(lidare Mr. Baron VAUGILAS) John Hunt was indicted, charged with committing a • rape on the body of Ruth Phelps, an idiot, on the 4th of August last, in a field at Copse-grove farm, near Jacob Phelps said he had a sister named Ruth Phelps, who had been an idiot from birth. She was now 22 • years old, and could hear and speak a few words, so as to ask for meat and drink, and call for her father and • mother. She laughed sometimes, but never cried • when ill used. She did not know the difference be " tweets the seasons, but knew her father and mother. The .witness on the 4th of August saw her coming out of a wood near Lydyard-park, followed by the prisoner. She bad been there with some of her female neighbours to get,wood. She first went into the field where the witness wan mowing, and then into another, to which the .prisoner followed her. Seeing him leading his sister by -the hand, witness went after them, and saw them to gether in the field. The witness then described the situation of the prisoner and his sister in such a way as fully established the charge against the prisoner. He said, be did not think his sister knew right from wrong. - Jane Phelps, the mother of the idiot and the last wit ness,..said she knew her daughter to complain of the . boys who sometimes ill-used.ber, and she nought she was sensible of pain and pleasure. On being called on for his defence, the prisoner said 'be had nit completed the offence when the brother dis turbed them, and that the girl had solicited him. Mn Baron VAUGHAN felt himself bound to say that he could not consider this poor girl what the law called an idiot. There could be go doubt she was as deficient in intellect as any one couldbe falling under the denomi nation of any thing shoit of an idiot ; but still as she was, ft appeared, susceptible of pleasure and pain, it would, be too much to take away a mail's life on a charge of his having used violence, and committed those acts which the law required to have proved to establish such a charge. If there had been any proof of the slightest resistance by this unfortunate girl, and that she was incapable cf distingui s hing between pain and pleasure, the prisoner might have been convicted; but with the evidence that had been offered, he thought the Jury could not legally return a verdict of Guilty. Under'the direction of the Learned Judge the Jury ac quitted.the prisoner, but his Lordship addressed him, and cautioned him to beware how he ever again ap peared at that bar, as lie must expect to expiate his next offence with his life : there was but too much reason to believe he bad been gstilty of an off;:nce for which be deserved to be driven from society. . The prisoner, it appeared, bad been tried in 1818 for a similar offence, with two cabers. Williams Wilcox Flower was indicted for stealing tWe pigs, tpe propel ty of Robert Furber ; a second indict ment charged him with seceiting the same, knowing them to have beeostoleo. • MY4l9Tinn conducted the proseetkon, Mr.C. rnlL- I tinstheAkkaie. After the case had been stated to the .Jury, he submitted that the prosecutor should elect on • which of the charges he would proceed. • Mr. JusTrCit contended that the prosecutor might offer evidence in support of both. Mr. Baton VAVOILAN expressed his opinion, that • under the new Act the prosectror was bound to elest !the charge he intended to proceed on. ' • It having been determined to proceed on the charge for receiving the stolen property, Rosanna Flo' her, the wile of the prniectitm,'Said, that on the 22d 01 May, her huThand had two pigs safe 'in his sty; the next morning they were both gone; but in consequence of some information she reteived. she went to the prisoner's house, and there found two Nub plgs, which, itom the marks that remained on them, she knew to be her husband's pigs. Robert Furbrr (the prosecutor) tracked the pip to' within a short distance of the prisoner's house, and con firmed the evidence of his wife re a p , cl in g the mark's by which he knew his pigs. . The prisoner, in his defence, said that the pigs had been brought.to his house by two men, whose nitsner he mentioned. He did not know, lie said, • where they came from. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to seven years' transportation. swami stimuli°. • William Werrett, aged 33, was indicted, charged with stealing a black gelding, the property of Samuel Smith, from the parish of Buckland, in this County. Mr. WATEns conducted. the prosecution, and Mr. PHILLPOTTS the defence. Samuel Smith said, that on the night of the 15th of July last his horse was safe in a clover field„ and in the morning was gone. He instsert)y set tiff in, Wards* of him, and with a neighbour of the name of Wiwi traced his steps for nearly fifteen miles. From information they received they however continued their search, afid at last found the house gr . izing in a green lane, about seventy miles from the house of the witness. Therr was no one wish the horse, which was in cOmpany with, two others, and they all seemed very much tired. The' witness took all the horses to a neighbouring public house, and some men whs , were there, on his going in, immediately made their escape across some corn fields. Captain Warner proved, that on the 16th of July, the prisoner, in company with another man, having three horses with them, passed bim on the road near Acton Turvel. The pris - ner was leading a black horse, and riding on a bay one. Suspecting the prisoners, the witness mounted his horse, and followed them, and saw the two men lying in a field; be presented a pistol at ' them to make them stop, but they refused, and in at. tempting to leap his horse over a hedge, the witness was knocked off by the bough of a tree, and the pri soner and his companion got away. Thomas Nichoisun,, the constable of Acton Turvel,' met the prisoner, and having heard that he was accused of horse-stealing, seized him by the collar. • The pri. loner said, " GOD bless you, don't take pie ; it can't do you any good." The witness then told him the offence be was charged with, and said he was determined to do his duty ; on which the prisoner immediately seized him by the thumb, and bit him in several places. They then rolled down together, and the prisoner :,it the wit. tress in the side in two places, biting out a lump of flesh each time. The witness was obliged to hold the pri soner's hands all the time, as he made repented at tempts to get at his pockets, and on a young man com ing to the assistance of the witness, it was discovered that the prisoner had got a clasp knife in his pocket. The prisoner had acknowledged to the constable that he had the horses in his possession, but said he bad not stolen them. He said he knew he must cross the water for the offence ; but he did not mind that, so as he escaped from the " narrow bridge." The prisoner, in his defence, said he had been em ployed by a man to lead the horses, and had been paid 2s. for the job.—Guilty. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, in desiring sentence of death, to be recorded, told the prisoner that nothing but then absence of a material witness could have prevented his sending him to cross the narrow bridge, which he had so justly apprehended. The offence of horse-stealing was now become so frequent, that it was impossible to do justice to the country unless the severest punish ment was inflicted. The prisoner might consider him. self very fortunate to escape by leaving the country for life. Jane Walker was indiited for stealing a pound of bacon, the property of James Burton. Mr. WATSON appeared for the prosecution. The evidence detailed by the witnesses proved that the prisoner, having gone to the shop of the prosecutor to purchase some other article., put the piece of bacon into her basket. It was immediately discovered, and she was lased with the theft and given into custody. She had left an infant child at a neighbour's house, and after she was taken away sent it to the prosecutor's, to 'beg for the sake of the child he would not proceed against her, Who, moved to pity at the sight of the poor child, refused to appear against the mother, who was consequently discharged. Instead of evincing her gra titude for the mercy that had been shown her, the mo ment the prisoner regained her liberty, she went to an attorney, sad employed him to write to the prosecutor, threatening him to proceed against him for false impri sonment. The prosecutor was therefore compelled to renew his charge, and was bound over to prosecute. Guilty—One Month's imprisonment. The trials of the prisoners concluded with this case. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN proceeded to take Common Jury causes, with a view to assist Mr. Justice Gaselee. BRISTOL, Amur: is.

The following case, which occupied the greater part of dm day, was the only one in any degree interesting which Wok place. ROOTH V.SCAIDASIONZ. This was an action on a warranty of a horse. The damages were laid at 401. The plaintiff is a merchant at Bristol. and the defendant a miller near Bath. Mr. Sergeant WILDII (with whom was Mr. SMITH) stated the plaintiff's case. The plaintiff having occasion for a horse, mentioned the circumstance to a third per son, who knew that the defendant had one to dispdse of, and through whom the horse was purchased from the defendant for the plaintiff. The defendant, on selling the horse (for which he received 401.) engaged him to ' be perfectly sound, except that at that time lie bad what is called the " thrush . (a local and teMporary disease in a bmrse's feet). The agent observed some lumps in the animal's throat, and the defendant said they were the consequence of a cold, and would go off in a very short time. Under these circumstances, the horse was bought; but within about ten weeks sifter the purchase, appeared to be glandered. . . . The defendant's ease was managed by Mr. C. F. War.- LIM" who contended that the representation which the defendant had made of the horse in selling him was per fectly correct. and that the animal. at the time of the sale, was only affected by the thrush and a slight cold, which 'could have been easily removed, hut' hich the excessive riding had aggravated into the 'glanders.
