WARWICK ASSIZIS. A cash of great importance to the intereft of all men oflanded property, was tried before Mr. jufhce H ATM, and a moll refpeaable Special Jury of the county. The ettießion was, whether a pay ment of 13d. per acre, in lieu of all tythes, great and fmall, in a Lordship called Street-fields, in the parilh of Monks Kirby, in that county, could be fupported as a nam/ar; it was proved on the part of the occupier, Mr. Cook, by old witnetres, that no tythe in kind had been ever rendered in the memory of any living perfonotor any tradition of tythe in kind ever paid; and a proceeding in a caufe in the year 168 i (which, howevei was not decided) mentioned the payment as confidered at that time to be an old rate of tythes; the Rector infitled upon raffebull, and produced the taxation. of Pope Nicholas, fo far back as s= t, and tome very old inquifitions and returns of le value of l the place, to thew that, fine time efuennery, the evLe/e ReThry of Monks Kit by, of which Stmt.' frld was ea 'y a tart, was but of the value of a 11. 6s. Bd. and that, therefore, this payment of, sot. in lieu of the tythes only, f one (mall part, souk! not "ply have called beyond legal memo ry, viz. Richard the Full, which w:ts in the year ifto ; but the learned and very experienced Judge who had tried the caufe, explained the law on that lubje& with great precifion, and informed dietary, that unlefs they could confeientionfly find that it was limper:6le for the payment to have been made as COMpOiltiollfer iyibet at that early period, and there was great uncertainty in all the evidence ai to the value of the Lind, and more Co of the prise of tors. in thofe early times, it calk to belirgasied in favour of the payment, •s a rondos; for that for the fake of quieting pofellions and the titles to men's dilates, the law does not countenance the felting afide fuch ancient payments, but will pre fume all that can be.prefumed in favour of them. The Jury. without befitatiou s folvidfr; the ti tr. , . MT TAM AMU.% AITC.6. RUSSEL V. WILIWISON• This was an aainn of trover, to recover the vain.: of fome trees cut by the orders of the de fenchnt, in a boundary hedge which feparated his elate, of Stockly, from the plaintiff's elate, of Bra ndsforth. The parties arc both of them Gentlemen of con. liderdhle preptrty ; the plaintiff is father to the Mr. Ittlirci, who was the intfucce4ful candidate for Durham, in the year 18c3. Mr. PARK, in flating the Plaintiff's cafe, ob. 'rred, th..t this action was nor brought much f .1- the vahle of the trees, which were not ellimat ,l at more than 141. as to determine a more im portant qiiellion to the parties, the right of pro. reit!, in the ground where thole trees were cut.— l'he fence in que!lion, the plaintiff contended to !se his pi °p.m', from the general cullom of the country, which, when Oates are feparaied by a hedge, a ditch at one fide of it, gives the property of the hedge to that eflate on which fide the ditch is not; independent of this, which he con ceived to be the general cuftom of the country, he could prove that, for the laft forty-three years, the moll unequivocal acts of ownerthip had been ex ercifed over this hedge by the different perfons who owned the Drandsforth ellate during that pe riod of time, and to whore rights the plainti f f be came entitled, upon his purchafe of it from the late Mr. Tempell. Thole alts of ownerfhip and property confided in their often repairing this fence at their own expence, and in their having cut, at different times, during that period, feveral large anl valuable trees from the hedge in queflion, without aoy manner of ohjeelion on the part of thole from whom the defendant derived his title. The fire witnefs produced, on the part of the plaintiff, was one Weltham, the very perfon who cut down the trees in queftion, having purchafed them from the defendant, and who, on that ac count, had been himfelf involved in a law.fuit with the plaintiff: his admiffibility as a witnefs was ftrenuoufly objeded to by the defendant's Coun. fel, who infillcd, that as he was the original mil parer. it was again: him that the prelim anion ought to have been brought. The Learned Judge, however, over-ruled this objeaion, on the witnefs declaring that he had been releafed from all fur- ther anions on this account. The witnefs proved the fale of the trees to him by the defendant. A great number of witnefres proved the differ ent aas of ownerfhip (fated by the Counfel to have been exercifed over this hedge by the former pro prietors of the Brandsforth caste I they differed, however, as to the cuftom of the country, decid ing the property of .t boundary hedge, in the man ner Mr. Park had 'fated two of them faid, that whofoever property the hedge in queftion might be, yet two or three of the trees which were the fubjea of the prefent aaion, flood at leaft two feet removed from the hedge on Mr. Rail's fide of it. Mr. TOPPING on ere part of the defendant, faid that this lift piece of evidence, extracted by the plaintiff's counfel, from the witnefres, only (hewed afiably attempt on the part of the plaintiff, to (teal a verdia, by proving a minute damage when the ation profetred to be for a ferious one ; thofe 1 attempts, however, generally chewed a finking caufe, and, in the prefent inftance, he *tufted; would be unavailing. As to general ails of own erfirip, he could prove as many of them on the part of that from whom the defendant derived is title, as e e p intiff had proved : they too had Lot down trees th:re in former periods, and clip ped the hedge when they thought proper, and as for repairing it, he had many more inflances to prove, of the hedge having been repaired by the defendant, and thole fiom whom he claimed, than the plaintiff had produced on his fide he conclu ded by fubmitting it to his Lordfhip, as well as the Jury, that if it appeared that there was no ge neral cuttom of the country, determining the pro. perty, there were as many ails ofownerfhip on the one tide as on the other ; and that the parties had always ufed this hedge as tenants in common; in fuch cafe the prcfent aaion would not lie. A great number of witneffes proved the differ ent acts of ownerfhip l:e had fired fome of them contradicted in point of fat, what one or two of the plaintiff's witnc Ire had fworr., and all of them were unacquainted with that principle which the plaintiff had relied on, as the cu flora of the country. Mr. Juftice CIIAMBRI laid that, in his opinion, neither of the parties had an exelafive right to talk rd . /ha* wimps on the fide of the other. When it was confidered that the prefcnt aelion was be tween Gentlemen of confiderable fortune, who pt °felled to defpife the value of the trees in queA lion, but were only anxious todetermine their right of property, he confidered it at lull as fiably on the part of the defendant to catch at little points ofioefeit, and to contend that this allion was not properly brought, as it was on the part of the plaintiff to endeavour tofida verdia, by proving that one or two of the trees, cut by the defen- Jancesorders,laytwofeet from thisboundarybedge, and on the tdaintiff's fide : if a verdift was given for the value of thofe one.or two trees, it could have no fort of bearing, no more than a non-fuit on the other tide would have upon the quellion which the parties profefred themfelves fo defirous to bring to an iffire, whole property this boundary hedge really was? for his part he withed that, inliead of an aaion of trover, fome other fpccies of aaion had been brought, in which a verdia given would 're more decifivc of the right as the cafe now lood, he thought the jury had better not pay too much attention to thofe nice and hair-breadth dif • inaions, which it might have been the duty of Counfel to &nett ; but which, if fuppokd to form the bafis of their verdia, would, intlead of decid ;ng any thing, lay open a wide field for future li oration : be thought they had better form their le-citron -90 the broad principle of comparing the credibility of the number of wittrefres on the one fide, and the aas they proved, with thofe produc ed on the other fide. His Lordthip then (lammed tip,with great accuracy,aud at confiderable length. the evidence given by the prodigious number of witneffes, that had been called is this mice— .

UNION Hat.t..—Yellerdtsy COUld Pipr /bract:, a Qtack 'Doitor, and proprie:or of a grand Mc dical Elaboratory, at the Duke of liamilton's Arms, in Great Charlotte-Rreet, was brought be fore the Magiflrates, charged upon the oath of a Gentleman who lodged in his houle, with having affailed him, not with pellle or pill, bin wi:h his fills. It was fworn that the Count, uponhis lodger's remonfirating with him upon the impropriety of his ahufing refpeaable pei Cons who cllkti upon him by laying, loud enough to be heard, they were blackguards ; had rulhed upon the complainant, knocked him down, and liruck him when down : in which operation lie was stained by a gentl damfel, Mifs Mary Hamilton. The Doaor tie Med the charge, and infided the complainant had &II afl'aulted• him. The Magiftrates refirred the lubjea to the decifion of a Jury at the west Seflions for the County. The Doaor complained that hi, lodger had ufed him cruelly—that he had cut oH• his water cock, and he had not a drop of water to fprinkle in the ladies faces who happened to faint in his (hop. He alfo brought a heavy charge againft the Gentleman for playing the piano ante on Sundays, and making merry with his friends. His lodger recriminated, but the Magillrates laid, they had done all they could by referring the bu finds of the alault to the Seffions. Bow ST E er.—On Friday Taft two of the Bow ftreet ptrole obferved a Jew boy take a IquAre deal box out of a cart in St. Giles's, which appear ed to have been carrying it for him. He conveyed it to a noted receptacle for flolen goods in Bowl yard, where the patrole followed and fecured together with the box, which, with the prifoner, was immediately brought to this office. On be ing opened, it was found to contain nearly too weight of counterfeit coin, made to refemble a fil ver'Prutlian coin, of about the valve of fourpence. This offence, by the Statute of the 37th of the prefent reign, which paired in confequence of the great number of counterfeit dollars then in circu lation, was made a mildemeanour ; and every per fon, in whore poffeffion foreign counterfeit coin than be found, is liable to a fine of five pounds for every piece above five, or to be committed to the Houle of Correction to hard labour for three months. Yellerday the Jew was brought up for a fecond examination, when the Solicitor of the Mint at. tended, and the cafe being made out, the defen- dant was convieted in the penalty of 251. being on five pieces • and in default of payment, was or • dered to be committed to the Houle of CorreCtion, Cold Bath Fields, to bard labour for three months. A falefman was convieteal in the penalty of Ss. per trufs, on 47 trulfes of hay loon of weight, fold at the St. James's Haymarket; and another perfon was convieted in the penalty of is. per trufs, on 67 trulTes fhort of weight, which were fold at Paddington. M A toms Hovs c.—Yefterday three perfons were charged before his Lordibip with being difnrderly. When this cafe was examined, the charge could not be fubfkantiated. One of the parties charged was a refpdtable hook keeper, who raid he had in terfired in the bnfinefs from feting the other two ill ufed, and that the officers immediately dragged him into the watch houfe. He told the officers that he would give any bail for his appearance ; they, however, refuted to take bail, and tiled hini in the moft barbarous manner. His Lordfhip faid that this condo& was not to. be borne, that he was at all times ready to prote& officers when he found them difcharging their duty, but when he found them thing in open defiance of all peace and good order, he fhould confider it his duty to con demn them. He, therefore, ordered the perfons to be difcharged, and raid, that as one of the par. ties could not defray the expence of profecution, he fhould order it to be defrayed at the City ex pence. The other Gentlemen, attended by their Solicitor, faid it was their intention to profecute to the turnoff rigour of the law. Another man, who raid he was a Cullom Houfe Officer, was charged in the fame manner. This man, however, it appeared ' , vas drank when he came to be examined. His Lordflaip enquired in. to this bufinefs, and from the enquiry it appeared that the parties, after they had left the Compter, had gone to the public houfe, and been drinking for near two hours. His Lordlitip reprobated this condo& and faid that he fhould commit the con (table for the prefent i accordingly the conftable and his prifoner were both committed, and order ed to be brought np to-morrow, when it was hoped they would be fober. Charlet Sharp and int. Carktos were committed for trial, on fufpicion of ftealing coffee and other goods from the quays in Lower Thames-ltreet, the property of the merchants. HATTON Gaanam—Yefterday a young married woman (Tabitha Sullivan) came to the office, fupported by feveral women, for a warrant againft two others for an inhuman affault, committed on her in Caroline -court, Saffron.hill, yeflerday moi fl ing fhe Rated, that one of the women dragged her by the hair, and held her fag, whilft the other kicked her over the loins and feveral other parts of the body ; a man was in the room, lying acrofs two chairs, who did not offer to refcue the poor woman from the fury of there viragoes. She had feveral fainting fits in the office, in confequence of the internal bruifes the meived. The officers went after the offenders, but could not find them. The poor woman, it is fuppofed, will not recover. THAPM Pouca Ovrica.—Yelterday Perry be longing to this office brought a large quantity of goods from a place near Shadwell, in the paif fion of two females, furpeeted to be part of the car go of the brig Adventure as appeared upon pa per, but which were never (hipped. The women being brought to the office, made a difclofure of the perfons who left them with them, who are now in cuftody, to anfwer for the charges brought againft them by the underwriters. The above officer has recovered above a thou. fend pounds worth of property in this nefari tranfadion. The Ladies were bound in recognifences to be forthcoming to give evidence.
