At the last Sessions the prosecutor was a principal witness against a man named Filt, a brother in-law of Sdragg, which circumstance had created an ill-feeling in the mind of Spragg towards the prosecutor. To gratify his revenge he shot at the prosecutor through his bed-loom window, and his life was most providen tially preserved. Thomas Tottle, the prosecutor, said—l live at Mat tishall ; I had some words with the prisoner at the Club, at the George public house, at Mattishall, on the evening of the 19th of April last; I left the Club about half past eight o'clock, in consequence of some words; I went to my home, and retired to bed about ten o'clock. (A plan of the witness's house was exhibited to him). There is a window in my bed room, and a chest of drawers was in the room, which I had "hitch ed" against the window ; a sieve was upon them; I had " hitched" the drawers against the window just before I got int) bed; I had a gun in my possession, which had paper and powder in it ; 1 had borrowed it about a loitnieht; 1 was awoke by my wife after I had been in bed about three hours ; I got up and. heard somebody at the hoot door cf my house; I heard a rattling at the door; my wile hallooed 4 ' who's that ?" which was answered by a moaning noise; I put on my things, and she hallooed again; there was a similar noise again; I had a gun standing beyond the winirow ; my wife told me to get the gun, and I did so; I came up against the drawers, and before I could lift up the gun, somebody fired in at the window, and drove the sive against me here (pointing to his stomach); the 'window is a leaden casement, with Small panes; I was standing about an arm's length from the window, and f icing the window, when the shoti struck Abe sieve; I laid my hand on the drawer's, and looked out at the, hole, and saw the flash of a gun; I thin saw. Will. Spraggs; I saw his face; the hole I looked through had' been made by Will. Spraggs firing through ; I saw the prisoner the same day, the Sunday morning, at the George, at Mattishall; as soon as Isaw him, I told him lie was the man who shot at me, and I would swear to it; he said very little to that. Cross-examined by Mr. PRESTON—I was a member of the club at Mattishall at that time ; I would spot stilt in it any longer; I was a member on the Saturd.ty night the prisoner was there; I drank a pint of beer in the-tap-room, and two glasses in the club-room; I had bad two pints of beer at D.:erham on the: same day; there was hardly any stir in thecluli-tooM, when I Went in on the Saturday night; it was not proposed that I should be turned out of thetoons; I have beesiee, the club since only once; I was told if I did notliesid - isl tongue, I had better km the. room, and i vitniyind went home directly; a member Owed 'hit told tone so, and also Sayer. ..

The charitible Institution in question had long since been dissolved, and in such a case a gift of tithes always reverted to the heirs of the donor.. He should, moreover, be able to show regular payments of thesetitheS by the dece dent to the plaintiff for, a number Of 'years. wfileh 'be contended were so many scenOWledgnients of tbejustiOe of the plaintiff's title. 'The steward of the plaintiff (a Mr. Magnay), and' Mr. William Hodson, who had assisted in valuing the tithes, proved their uniform payment for eleven years,' up to 1825, -when the defendant demurred, and Mr. Magnay was warned not to claith them again. Since, that period no payment . had been made. The tithes' 'were valised•at 181 . 45. and the amount sought 'Wise recovered by the preient action was treble that amount, with costs, . Mr. Magnay, on his cross-examination, said, he be.. lieved that the payment of the tiihe/*as resisted in i consequence of a deniard made by the Corporation tif Devensby H,)spital, a neighbOuring charity; he had oply heard. of that charity by common report, but he. had by the direction of the plaintiff paid 41. a year to. •Mastei of the Hospital; he had also made annual pay ments to six poor persons in the parish, though, at one time, there were only two poor persons. The tffitei s Mw ever, were always dirided into six shares, and when the, number of poor did not correspond, the plaintiff retained the remaining shares in his hands, with the intentioe of erecting a new hospi t al.

The Marquis Ilr V..knea, a foreign nobleman, was summoned by Thomas Watkins, the driver of the coach No. 931, for the bum of 3s. 6d. The Marquis, it appeared, engaged the complainant's coach by time, and agree d to give him 2s. an hour, instead of paying by dis tance. The coachman was ordered to drive from South Audley street,through Cavendish-square, Portland-place, and from thence round the ltegent's.park, and back to the place from whence he started. When coachee pulled up, the Marquis, on looking at his watch, found that his drive had occupied exactly one hour and twenty minutes, and remembering his agreement, be banded 3% 6d. to the coachman, who, however, demanded Ts. satin it eves true he had agreed for time, but it was quite optional whether be should charge for time or distance; he preferred the latter, and as be had driven just sethn miles, be demanded 7s. being a shilling a mile, in stead of 2s. an bout. The Marquis admitted that the coachman's statement was quite tree. He seemed to think, however, that the agreement for 2s. an hotir bad deprived him of the power to make another charge. Mr. HALLS said that several inexperienced persons had suffered front a like mistake. The public ought to be'aware, that although a coachman might consent to be paid by time. he might if he thought proper demand payment fur distance when he bad finished his fare. The Marquis said he was not aware of that fact, although he had looked into all dm kW books opens the subject. Mr. HALLS—If you wish, you can have the ground measured; but as that will be attended wail additional expense, I advice you without further trouble to pay the sum the earthman demands: " Oh, by all means," said the Marquis ' 41 1 only wanted to see which of us was right, and I don't care to be troubled any further. Here, coachman, is your money," handing him 5a14. Mr. Haim desired the clerk to make out the amount of the coachman's demand, which came to 10s. including additional fare, loss of time, and summons. " Ten shillings!" exclaimed the Marquis: but no matter, I hope the next time I shall be the complainant, and that the Justice will decide in my favour." Coacliee here turned aside to conceal a laugh; upon which the Marquis exclaimed, half jest half earnest—" You need not think that this frets me, mister coachmen 1 I am not a bit angry; I never loee•my temper when I lose my money." The Marquis then having paid the' We. bowed politely to the Bench and retired, followed by the coachman. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A poot blind woman; named :Karina& Hitcher, was brought before the Magistrate, charged as a vagrant with begging about the street. It appeared that the poor woman, who described 'her husband • to be "alniest on Sts death-bed and totally deatitute; was playing the flute along Bond -street, led by another poor woman, when one of theitreetleepery there interfered With her and took her in custody. Sir Groatirra lama asked her why. If her husband and herself were in•lncht distress. they %lid net apply to thri parish` to which they belonged for relief • ~ • ..

His friend, Mr. Angelo Taylor, had nothing whatever to do more • than soy other Member of Partitioning with the Ace under Which this woman was apprehended, which was the Vagrant Act, and not that, Colonel Jones erroneously supposed, which was called Mr. Taylor's Act. 'ln lheend, although Sir GrOROZ did pot exactly agree with th e Colonel's view of the law and the case, he ordered the parish offwera lof St. Giles's to do something fur the poor woman, and t o irk medical 'aid to her sick husband.

It appeared front the evidence, that the deceased, the prisoner, and 'remit other persons, all females, except Mr. Parker and lodgers in the house, had dined together in the kitchen, and had drank freely after dinner. The prisoner and Mr. Parker, and probably more of the party, were intoxicated. The prisoner had demanded money of his wife, and, in consequence of her refusal, a scuffle took place between them.
