ASSIZES. WORCESTER. IREACR OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE AND ODUCTION. HALFORD 9. RICHARDSON• This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a farmer, residing at Broadway, in this county, against the defendant, who is also a farmer, living at Laverton, parish of Buckland, in the county of Mon :ester, for a compensation for the seduction and loss of services o'f his d aug hter , Miss Ann Halford. Mr. Pot.Latt the declaration to the Jury, and Mr. Jaavis detailed the circumstances of the case to them; in doing which, he stated that the present was an action which any parent would most unwil lingly bring into open Court, were he not compelled by the call of justice to do so. The plaiptiff, Mr. Edward Halford, resided at Broad wa y ; and the de fendant, Mr. John Richardson, lived at Laverton, in Gloucestershire, and in the year 1810 was attracted to the house of the plaintiff by an attachment to one, of his daughters. He was received into the family of the plaintiff under the impression that his inten tions were fair and honourable. There appeared to be a reciprocity of affection, which, however, unhap pily for both families, terminated in the disgrace of 'both. In one unguarded moment, when reason had deserted her throne, to the unspeakable sorrow of her parents, the young lady fell a victim to the arts of the defendant. She afterwards became a mother, and thus the plaintiff was deprived of her valuable services. His visits had been received under an ex pectation that he would make her his lawful wife ; but on the 12th of May, 1817, a lady of more for tune having presented herself to his view he married her, and the plaintiff was compel led to throw himself under the protection of a Jury of his country for a pecuniary compensation ; and any damages which they should award would be wretched, indeed, when compared with the unspeakable sorrow and disgrace to which the family had been exposed by the artifices of the defendant. Under these circumstances, it would be unnecessary for him to attempt to excite the feelings of the Jury, for, as fathers and husbands, they must feel what was due to a father upon the loss of his child. Miss Ann Halford, the young woman, stated the case of her pregnancy. But no proof of any pro mise of marriage was given. She used to do the work of her father's house as a servant. Mr. DAUNCEY rose to address the Jury in mitiga tion of damages. The transaction complained of took place in 1812, and he was now addressing a Jury of fathers in 1818, and it was not a little extra -1 ordinary that five years should elapse before the ac tion was thought of. The young woman in the pre sent case had not said any thing to prove that the de fendant made any promise of marriage ; for she had said, that all he stated was, that he had no intention to slight her ; and therefore it was not before the Jury that a breach of promise of marriage had been committed on the present occasion ; and when she was l , asked if he came to her father's house to address her? She quietly said—" Oh, yes, he addressed me, and said he would not slight me." This, then, was all the evidence of a breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Justice BURROUGH, in summing up, observed, that at all events the plaintiff was entitled to a ver dict for the loss he had sustained in losing the ser vices of his daughter ; at the same time, he saw no particular circumstances which called for heavy da mages—on the contrary, the most moderate would be adequate to the injury. The Jury found for the plaintiff—damages, 40/. DORSET.—DORCHESTER, MARCH 14. BALDWIN V. THE EARL DICEY. Mr. GASELER said, that this was an action brought by Mr. Baldwin, a farmer, residing near the estate of the Noble defendant, to recover damages for an in jury sustained to his lands by the fall of a quantity of water from the defendant's reservoir at Sherbourne ,Castle. There were - two counts in the declaration; the first charging the defendant with having wrong fully and injuriously let down a body of water so suddenly and improperly upon the river which flowed near the plaintiff's grounds, as to cause great injury to those grounds ; and the second charging him with having negligently suffered the water to escape, by which negligence the lands, hay , &c . of the p laintiff were materially prejudiced. To those charges the defendant pleaded Not Guilty, and upon this issue was joined. The plaintiff's farm and mill were within three miles of Sherbourne Castle, the pleasure grounds of which contained a pond of ninety acres extent. — On Friday, the 19th of July. 1816, a great fall of I rain had taken place ; the pond and adjacent streams were raised considerably above their usual elevation. The river which flowed into the pond, and throughl that to a distance through the c ountr y , was at cer , tain periods of the year so subject to floods as to ren der the utmost caution necessary. There were hatches constructed along the river, above the pond, at the head of it, and below it, by the proper management of which, when there were heavy falls of rain, the water was checked in the rapidity of its progress. On the day alluded to, the floods were restrained in the usual manner ; but on the 21st of July, when there was no reason to expect an increase in the stream, the lands of the plaintiff, which lay before Sher bourne Castle, were suddenly overwhelmed. This mischief had not arisen from the fall of reain ; for the water caused by it had subsided before the 21st, and nothing was apprehended, the river having fallen to its accustomed level. The plaintiff and several other occupiers of mills, on the river below the pond, traced the cause of this overflow to Sherbourne Park, where they found that a man named Lamb, in the service of Lord Digby, had raised the hatches at the head of the pond to such a height, and with such little attention to the inevitable consequences of such a proceeding, that the banks were unable to contain the accession of water, and the land became suddenly deluged. The water was, when the plaintiff went to Sherbourne Park, issuing through the hatches with great rapidity ; several acres of land, and largel quantities of hay, were seriously damaged. The loss sustained by the plaintiff amounted, according to and estimade made by a surveyor, to 1851. and a frac-I dun. It would be proved , that this dama g e was at-' tributable to the sudden lifting up of the hatches at; Sherbourne Park, which had a command of the water, and by which all bad consequences might have been avoided bad there been but a little caution observed. After the examination of several witnesses, and hearing:Mr. Serjeant Pass for the defence, Mr. J us- 1:,:e Antorr said he would leave the case entirely tr, the Jury. -He lead the evidence, and stated that if the injury had arisen from any improper conduct cf the defendant or his servants with respect to the hatches, which he was bound to keep well regulated, he ought to pay for that injury, U any pond was on a Nobleman s or Gentleman s grounds, which was calculated to form an obstruction to any river in passing, it was his duty to see that the flood should not run too high, nor be allowed to get too low ; and if any bad consequences arose from the neglect to observe this very necessary rule, he was undoubtedly responsible.—The Jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff to the full extent of his demand. STAFFORISSH I R E. PA RLIAMICNTARY REFORM. Tilt MC, ON THE PROSECUTION or THOMAS DE•KIN, V. THOMAR ports, SAMUEL 'WOOD, WILLIAM TAYLOR, JAMES HAILEHURET, AND WILLIAM HENSON. This case afforded considerable mirth to a very crowded Court. It was an indictment which charged the defendants with having riotously assembled to gether in the parish of Stoke, in the Potteries, against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King, and with having assaulted Thomas Deakin, by working a quantity of water from an engine on him, while he was obtaining signatures to a Petition for Parliamen tary Reform. Mr. PEARSON stated the circumstances of the case to the Jury; in doing which, he observed, that the riot and assault arose out of a proceeding of a politi cal nature, but the Jury were to divest themselves of every political consideration in thawing their conclu sion of the defendants' guilt or innocence ; for if they should be of opinion that the defendants had violated the law, it was a matter of little consequence whether it was done under circumstances of a political nature or not. The defendants were inhabitants of Stoke, and it appeared that a few days before the assault complained of was committed, a Mr. Johnson, whose name may be familiar with some of the Gentlemen of the Jury, called a meeting upon the subject of peti tioning for a Reform in the House of Commons. — Whether that Gentleman delivered his sentiments or not was a matter of little importance in the present inquiry—the result, however, of the Meeting was, a Petition was agreed on, and afterwards received by the House of Commons, to which it was presented. The prosecutor, Deakin, was employed to get the signatures of those who were not able to attend the Meeting ; he, in pursuance of his office, went to Stoke, in the neighbourhood of which was Mr. Spode's ma nufactory ; he got a table, and placed himself before the manufactory, for the purpose of obtaining signa tures to the Petition which had been resolved upon at the Meeting. He had not been long there before a person came out from Mr. Spodes ' and told him he must r emove, as he was on Mr. Spode's ground. Deakin, not wishing to do any thing wrong, went away, observing, that it was not his intention to make any disturbance ; he removed to the high road, and had not been long there before Mr. Spode's gates were closed, and an engine brought out of his pre mises, the pipe of which was directed towards the prosecutor, and began to play upon him with the greatest violence, until all the water which it con tained was exhausted. It was again filled, and the .defendants pursued him, drenching him with water. The result of which was, that the prosecutor took cold, and was for some time attended by a medical gentleman. Whether the Jury were friendly or hos tile to Reform or not, was a matter which they ought upon the present occasion to leave out of their consi deration. Their province alone was conscientiously to say, whether the defendants had or had not vio • lated the law ; if they had, the prosecutor would he entitled to a verdict at their hands ; and if any point of law should arise with respect to the offence being constituted a riot, the Jury would receive it from a much higher authority, therefore he should abstain from any observation on that head. The Learned Counsel then called— Thomas Deakin, who deposed that he lived at Shelton, near Stoke. About twelvemonths since, or a little better, he was taking a Petition for Parlia mentary Reform round the country, to get signatures to it; he went to Stoke, to Mr. Spode's manufactory, and a person, named Clay, came and ordered him: off, and he went from the premises on to the turn pike-road ; Clay came to witness again and told him 1 , to go off ; witness told him he was on the turnpike road, and as he was doing nothing amiss he should not go ; he then went away. Witness was opposite Mr. Spode's manufactory. Witness saw Mr. Spode's gates shut, and in about ten minutes he saw them open, and a water engine was brought out. One'of the defendants (Taylor) had hold of the end of the pipe ; he was guiding it, and the engine began to play upon witness: he retreated back to the place where he was at first, they still followed him, turn which way he would. Potts lad hold of the pipe. Hazlehurst was there. Mr. Psaasow—What is Hazlehurst?—Wltness : A barber. Mr. Pressor —A political barber, eh? (A laugh). Witness continued. Hewson was there : He bad also hold of the pipe. Part of them were wheeling the engine about ' • and there were from 60 to 1 00 people there. P rosecutor heard them say, " Curse him ; follow him up, and play in his pockets."— They played upon him until all the water was exhausted. He tried to escape, but they followed him, and one of them said, " Curse you, stop, stop, and stand your ground." Clay was the person who said this. He heard many voices say, " Curse him ; follow him out of Stoke." After the, water was exhaust ed they pulled off their hats and gave three huzzas ! and some voices cried out, " Bring more water, bring more water." r Cross-examined by Mr. Dauxerv.—How long had you bees in the petitioning line?—Only a day or two. What were you to be paid ?—Three shillings a day. What other lines have you been in besides the petitioningl— I I was brought up a boatman; and last March I was a carter ; and after that I took to pot selling ; and after that my father told me be could put some bread in my fingers for life in anw Cher way. What line was that ?—To make paste blacking. Mr. DauNCLY—That was putting bread in your fingers la deed !—(a laugh.) From whom were you to receive 3s. a day?—From a Mr. fatkisson, at Handley, a schoolmaster; I went to school to SMI a bit. What! to qualify yourself for the petitioning lire? No, not exactly u, ; but he promised me 3s. a-day. Ah ! when you were going to set all the world to rights?—l think it would be a good job if it was set a little to rights.— (Laughter.) Mr. Dauxerv—Ah, Mr. Deakin, hut there was an ad adage, that said it was better to begin at home. Prosecutor—Yes, Sir, likely 'tis. Had you a petition?—Yes, I bad a petition. There were some words at the top of it—but I can't purtrnd to say what it was about—but I know it was for Parliamentary Reform. Mr. Datmerr—What is that? Prosecutor—Eh! Mr. Datmcsiv—What is that—Parliamentary Reform? Prosecutor—l don't know justly. Mr. Dau,:ery—No, you neither know nor care, I suppose, so tong a. you get your three shillings a day. Did you get nothing eta( i'—Those whd duds gate I tSIh of so to fetid it up . this I gave to Mr. Porkiness. Did you explain the petition to those who signed it? No, it explained itself. I have used the words, but I don't know what they were. Had you not a few little phrases of your own to treat thud with?—Little what? A few phrases—a few words to address them? Not to the best of my knowledge. Did you nut attention any thing about a new King? Not that I know of. WiU you swear you did not?—Yes, I will swear it. Mr. I)am:err—That's a good fellow—(Laugaree.) A new Constitution; what do you think of that, did yentsa* It was time and right that we should have a new Constitution? —I forget what I said to the people; I cannot portend to say. Q. Boroughmongers! do you think you said a little about them ?—I did express some such words as that ; now you use its I think I did say sumnwl about BoroughincnzeringfactionA, that is almost out of my yliend. What are borough-mongering factions ?—I don't rightly knew what it means, but I have beard Mr. Johnson speak about it. Where did you bear him speak, good Mr. Blacking-maker ?—' At Handley, I think. What time was that 1--I think about a week before I vrer.t about with the petition. You went to hear him speak, did you?—Yes, I did. Where did Johnson come from?—l don't know—he might have stopped a day or two there. Was he acquainted with the school-m»._- seen them together. Where?—When Mr. Johnson got up to speak, he spoke from a waggon. I was in the crowd. I don't recollect seeing him before that. How long was it after that, that he agreed to give you Ss. -a day ?—I was hired about two or three days before. I was to go from house to house to az people to be pleased to sign the peti tion for pathameutary reform. Did you know it was opposite Mr. Spode's manufactory you pitched your tent?—Yes, I did. Were yon dot told you were not wanted there?—No, !MA not. Were you going to his men 2—No ; I only went there to get signatures. I bead a table, which I put down in the plat*. What Lad you?,-al table. Where did you get it got it from a neighbour; but I don't know who brought it to me, but I carried it to M. Spode's, opposite his manufactory. Mr. J. Heasouoit—Did you go for the purpose of getting the signatures of Mr. Spode's manufacturers ?—Yes, I did. Mr. DAvseav—l should like to have the speech you made :n that occasion, because it is likely I shall never have an oppor..:- nity to hear such another ?—l' Laughter. can't recollect what I said. It was upon the petition. It is gone up,' and was re ceived by Parliament. The petition had two leaves, which were 7-Yu ; I hz.w pinned together. Mr. Ditt:NCTY—Well, now that you have got your table, yourself, and your petition, before the manufactory--now Ste away—tell us what you said ?—I don't know. Did you tell the people to go to church 1-1 did not mention church or chapel ; I forget the words I said. Mr. DaeNcrv—Give us the substance ?—I don't know now ; all I recollect was, that I axed them to sign the petition. Mr. Datxcrr—Dicl you see a Mr. Martin?-1 might have seen Martin on the road ; I know not whether I saw him th-t day or not. Mr. J. Bcascron. , --Did you not go to the manufactory posely to catch the men as they crane nut from work ?--prote_ I tutor, Yes ; I went to get them to sign it, because I had not got any signatures from any of the houses where I bad called. Mr. J. Boutouom—llow many signatures did you gee from the houses?-1 think not more than five or six; but I got a grad many from the people at the table. Mr. J. Buaxonou.—What did you say to induce them to tit's it I—l forgot what the words were I said to them ; tkey were those used in the petition. Cross-examination continued.—He had been desired to go away during the time he was accosted. When he was getting signatures, ClAy told hint to stand his ground, but he was much confused by the water being played upon him. lie recollected saying, " I will make you repent of it ; you have done just what I wanted." They laughed and shouted at him, and that was the reason why he used those words, and by using them be thought they would give over. Mr. Datmenr.—You thought that after a shower would come a sunshine. Did the squib go through the petition thins ? (taking op a sheet of brief and pushing his finger through it—Lou.: knaglikr).-1 don't know that it went through it ; it was very wet, but I think I put It under my coat. As soon as the water was all gene I went away ; a person took me up and had me shifted. Mr. Dadiacsr.—l shall not follow you through that part cf your story, as it might be dangerous. What did you do -ft! r you bad shifted yourself? I dried the papers and went again. I went as far as the Vine inn, at Stoke. Mr. Dauxcer.—You exposed yourself and the petition agaii, did you?—Yes, but not in the same way ; I know I should rG: like to be exposed again in the same way—(Laughter).—l tb. , . a went to Mr. Parkisson and got paid. Mr. Darxcrv.—How much did you get in penee7-4t rn'.ght be abort a shilling. Several hundreds signed it that did not Fly. Mr. Hamm:v.—And you have never had petitioning since i No I had enough of laugh)-1 carry on my blacking trade now. Mr. Datxctr.—You mean to say you are a shining charac ter ?—I dont know much about that. Mary Ankers was next called. She stated that she was a married woman; she was present when they were playing the engine upon the prosecutor ; thef were as violent as they could be. He walked off', but they still pursued him, pouring the water on him. Hazelhurst, Taylor, and Wood I,yere there : Deakin conducted himself peaceably atjd quietly. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. DAUNCEY then appealed to the Jury, in full confidence that they would, without hesitation, rind the defendants not guilty. Mr. Justice BulutouGH, in recapitulating the evi dence to the Jury, begged that it might be under stood, that he did not mean to say that the people had not a right to petition for the reform of ;,ny grievances they considered themselves labouring der, however blameable the conduct of the prosecu tor might have been, in placing himself before the 'manufactory, for the purpose of catching the men as ,they came out, his object must have been this, as he had stated, that he could not get sufficient signatures at the houses where he had called. With respee t, however, to the defendants, he had no difficulty in 'pronouncing, that what law called a riot had been fully committed, and if the Jury believed the two witnessea, -the riot and assanlt upon his person were made out ; if they believed this, they were acts highly illegal, and the defendants must be found guilty, however improperly the prosecutor had behaved. The Jury merely turned round to each other, and to the evident astonishment of the Court, pronounced the defendants—Not Guilty. CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, MARCH it.S.

Fine Making Barley being scarce, is is. per quarter dearer, and all that appeared of that description was readily disposed of, but there is no amendment in the inferior qualities.
