Difcotiit scv"iir 4 - ' (4 ' " :4 d - 0: o; ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CARLISLE. Amgen 25. Csvu. Sun—Before Mr. Justice LITTLIDALL CORRY V. THOMPSON AND OTHERS. Mr. WILLIAMS (with whom was Mr. PATTERSON) stated the case to the Jury. The action was brought to recover the value of a quantity of hay, of which the defendants had forcibly dispossessed the plaintiff.— It had happened that in the month of April last a person of the name of Bell, a grocer at Brampton, in that county, had had a small demand against James Anderson, one of the defendants. To recover that de mand Bell had instituted an action in the County Court, and had got a verdict and issued execution. The execu • tion had been intrusted to the plaintiff, who was a She riff's officer, and he had gone to make the levy upon the premises of the defendant Anderson. Anderson lived at a place called Cold-fells, and there he had a byre for cows, and a stack of hay. The hay had been taken from two fields, in one of which the defendant Thompson claimed a property, but it was notorious that Anderson had always been regarded as the owner of the hay, he always using it for his cows, and treating it in all respects as his own. Upon that stack of hay the plaintiff had seized, and had been in the act of carrying it away in carts provided for the purpose, when a person of the name of Irwin had come up, and claiming the stack as his own property, had discharged the plaintiff from seizing. The plaintiff had disregarded that discharge, and had proceeded with the levy when another claimant to a property in the stack had arisen in the defendant Thompson. It had been explained to Thompson that only a minute before, Irwin had claimed it as his own,and then Thompson had changed his ground and said that it was Irwin's, but that Irwin held it for him. The plaintiff feeling confident that the pro perty was Anderson's, had proceeded in removing the hay, when Thompson had put in a threat that he should soon be forced to discontinue ; and sure enough, upon some signal of Thompson's, the Cold-fell had been made to resemble the glen which Sir Walter Scott had described in one of his poems ; for men had suddenly shot forth on all sides to the number of about 100, and had effectually prevented the bailiff from proceeding in his work, and almost frightened him out of his senses.— The hay had been taken back, and it was to recover its value that the present action had been brought. The proceedings in the County Court, the judgment and execution against Anderson, were regularly proved. John Lee stated, that on the 27th of April last he had :accompanied the plaintiff to Cold-fells. Plaintiff was a Sheriff's officer, and had a precept from the County Court, commanding him to levy upon the goods of An derson. They went to Anderson's stack, and plaintiff seized it. They then proceeded to put the hay into three carts, which they had brought with them, and whilst doing so a man of the name of Irwin came out, and said the stack was his. Plaintiff went on removing the hay. Defendant (Thompson) then came up, and said the stack was his. Plaintiff said, " Why, Irwin said just now that the stack was his." Thompson answered " Yes, it is ; but it is his for me." Thompson then desired a boy, who was near, to go and tell the kilnmen and the railway-men that they were wanted. Immediately after wards a great number of men came and drove the plaintiff and witness away. Other evidence was given to show that Anderson had always taken hay for his cows from the stack in ques tion, and had been regarded as the owner. Mr. ALDERSON (with whom was Mr. Ramshay) ad dressed the Jury for the defendant. There would be two questions for their consideration. In the first place, he (Mr. Alderson) should show that the plaintiff, upon being first accosted by Irwin, had voluntarily with drawn from the possession, and had said that he would have no more to do with the stack. That being the case, it would be for his Lordship to say whether the possession being out of the plaintiff, he was entitled to bring this action ? The other question would be, whether the stack in question was the property of An derson? He (Mr. Alderson) should call witnesses to show that it was, in fact, the property of Thompson; and if ale Jury believed that to be the case, then the defen dants would be entitled to a verdict. Evidence was then offered to support the statement of defendant's Counsel, but the defence failed, and a verdict v. as given for the plaintiff—Damages, 121. Before Mr. James BATLEY. Caowx COURT.—John Allen and Isaac Rae were indicted for feloniously assaulting Patrick Faggy on the King's highway, and robbing him of 1/. 10s. a watch, and a pocket handkerchief. The prosecutor stated, that on the 30th of June last, he was at a public house in Wigton, and there for the first time met the prisoner at the bar. The prisoner asked him to drink, and he com plied. After drinking together for some time, he went out of the house, and as he was going along a place called Water-lane, he was overtaken by the prisoner Allen. Allen put up his fist to prosecutor's face, and prosecutor struck him, but at the same time he received a severe blow, which immediately knocked him down. Prosecu toi was for a short time insensible, and upon coming to himself he found that he had been deprived of his watch, a handkerchief which he had worn about his neck, and about 30s. Prosecutor identified Allen, but he could not" swear that the prisoner Rae was present. A witness of the name of Jordan proved that the day after the prosecutor had been robbed, Allen came to witness's house, and told him that he and another person had committed a robbery the night before, and got a silver watch, some notes, and a silk handkerchief. Jordan went to the cellar where Allen said he had concealed the articles, and found the watch and other articles lying there. Jordan took them and gave them to a person of the name of Hodges, by whom they were given to the Magistrate. It was stated that Jordan bad become uneasy in his mind after the occurrence, but could not for some days persuade himself to make a dis closure. A witness who had gone to Hodges to demand the watch stated that Hodges had at first refused to give it up, saying that it had been put into his hands by Jordan, and that to Jordan only he would restore it. The prosecutor identified the watch when produced in Court. The Jury found Allen guilty, and acquitted Rae. Richard Hodges and Robert Jordan were then in dicted for receiving the property, knowing it to be stolen. Mr. ARCHBOLD stated the case, and called nearly the same witnesses as in the last case, and also offered in evidence the examinations of the two prisoners when taken before the Magistrates. Mr. Justice BAY LEY expressed his disapprobation of this prosecution, as it was proved that the prisoners had voluntarily given up the property, and had, as far as they could, facilitated the apprehension of the persons sup posed to have stolen it. The Jury found both the prisoners Not Guilty. The name of the present finisher of the law is Cheshire. When. therefore, a " famlly an" inquires after any brother of the craft who may have been banged, be Is informed. "that he has gene to tin, and has waver beet bard gainer." STATE OF THE COUNTRY. In Great Britain things continue in the same melon choly state. Manufactures and commerce are getting more del pressed rather than improving, and in Ireland civil disceud is daily and hourly demolishing the frame of society. The pike, the pistol, and the torch, are now generally the arbiters of disputes, and the blood-thirsty appear to set no more value on the life of a fellow creature than that of a wild beast. The Government seem to take the matter very quietly, and make no effort to enforce the laws. For further particulars we refer to our usual article under the head of " Ireland," which must convince even the most preju diced of the real value of Catholic Emancipation, which was to make the " first gem of the sea" a second garden of Eden, as in the days of human innocence.—Maidnorse Gazette. That the debt is one of the chief causes of our embarrassment no sensible man can deny; but it is not so much the nominal amount which embarrasses us as the mode in which it is paid. Pay it in the same currency, sad with the same prices for produce as those in which it was incurred, and we can disburse it, not only with strict justice, but with comparative facility. To be sure, while one tells us that we must bear the distress with content, be cause it is natural, another comforts us with the assurance that it is unnatural ; a third persuades us that it is fictitious; a fourth denies that there is any fiction in the matter at al/ ; and a filth finishes the dispute by declaring it to be only a " cloud." The shape and nature of the " cloud" the philosophers cannot deter mine ; it is " like this, like that, like everything, and nothing ;" and we, poor credulous and obliging creatures, like the fool Polo nious in the play, are to believe it to be anything : " Hamlet—Do you see yonder cloud that's almost like a camel ? " Polonius—By the mass, and 'tis like a camel indeed! " Hamlet—Methinks it is like a weasel. " Polonious—h is backed like a weasel. " Hamlet—Or like a whale. " Polonious—Very like a whale I" The fictitious party are, probably, the most provoking of the whole, combining, as they do, the grossest stupidity with the most inordinate selfishness. While they live in " sunshine and clover," they can neither perceive nor pity the sufferings of others. "We are very well off, and, therefore, why should we grumble," is their motto; and those who have plenty of money, and, by the late mea sures of the Legislature, are swelling their plenty into profusion, may be reasonably expected to talk in this way. " They tell us," says the author, "that we do not want an increased circulation— that money is already so plentiful in the city that not more than three per cent. can be made of it ! Now, I would ask, amongst whom is money plentiful? To whom but to the fundholder or the holder of other Government securities? To them only it is plentiful—to those, in fact, who do not require it. Yes, it is plentiful enough to them, who, having now no common interest with the rest of the community (an adverse interest, he might have said) are astonished at the complaints of the people, and wonder where the distress b to be found, as they know nothing of it." Aye ! and care very little for it. We do not blame the fund holders so much. Every man will take care of himself ; but we blame the Government for allowing the fundholder such an ad vantage over the rest of the community; and that, while they sanction a senseless cry against the monopoly of the occupiers of land, they permit a still more sensekss cry to become state gospel in favour of those who, under the colour of the law, or rather un der the authority of the Legislature, are screwing the last penny which the industry cat the productive classes can scrape together, or their uttermost privation can spare. Yes, we blame the Legislature ; but the landed interest, as pos. sensing, from rank and property, an influence in that L egislature, which they have, with a mockss and infatuation perfectly un accountable, abandoned, we blame still more. Wby they have become so tame and infatuated we cannot pretend to divine ; but, during the last five years, both as a party and a class, they have become so separated and distracted that, although comparatively the strongest interest in the State, they have become the weakest. Here and there we find a County Member at his post, or a Noble Peer discarding political partisanship, to make a stand for himself, the tenant, and the labourer ; but, take them in the aggregate, they are spiritless. " The fashion of the day has seised them," and they have become acquiescent under empires, afraid to speak what their own welfare, their common sense, and common humanity for their dependents would dictate, lest they should be ridiculed in Parliament, or bullied by newspapers ! And ridiculed and bullied they will ever be, until they assert their own dignity and their own interest, with a spirit and honesty proportionate to the influence they, in reality, possess.—Fareser's Journal. - - ETIQUETTE.—Two friends, Mr. LYON and Mr. JOHN Hatt, entering a coffee-house together, the latter requested his friend to order some refreshment. " I beg your pardon," said Mr. "bat that would be reversing the order of things." " How so I" cried the other. in astonishment. " Why," composedly re plied his friend with a smile, " all writers on natural history agree that the 'kick Hall is the Lyon's powder r so you see It is your province to order the refreshment, not mine !" TEMPEST IN A TEA-POT.—During the late war a revolution was effected in Iceland by a person of the name of Jorgen Jorgensen, who usurped for a time :he whole government of that important island, being backed by an invincible army of eight men, who scoured the provinces in detachments / The above is a fact not at all exaggerated. Jorgensen afterwards, we believe, was condemned for forgery in England, and died either in New gate or aboard the hulks ! Sic transa gloria annuli 1 LACONISH.—Tho late Lord M— was remarkable for conciseness of style, both in his speeches and writiegs, and he was fond of it in others. As he was riding out one day, a gentle. man came up to him at full gallop, when, pulling off his hat, be reined up his horse, and made a low bow. His Lordship opened the laconic dialogue. " Where are you from, Sir; where are you going; what do you want?" " From Oxford, to London, a be nefice " You shell have it ;" and made off. The declaration of an unfortunate and misguided man at the conclusion of a trial in Cavan will show with what temper the peasantry look upon trial by Jury, in a country where the Orange symbol and Orange injustice reign triumphant. It is right to repeat in this place the exclamation of the countryman, Con. sundae Maguire :—" By G—, there is no use in expecting justice here; the way I would recommend In future would be for every man to kill a man for himself. his a miracle that fire and brim stone do. not come down from Heaven. and consume both Judge, Jury, and the Orange murderers." It i s needless to add, that be was taken into castody,and committed to prison.—Dub. livetuPest. IRISH H u 310 U n.—The following anecdote was re lated the other day by a facetious gentleman, who is sometimes accused of shooting on the wing —a very innocent species of amuse ment, particularly after the 12th of August. Pat, while on his travels, went into an out-house, and being hungry at the time, filched two eggs from under a poor duck when on the very point of being emancipated from the wearisome business of incubation.— One of these be chipped so far, and thrust into his mouth without observing that it was " instinct with life." The duckling, how ever, was aware of its danger, and before crossing his greedy gullet, uttered something like a feeble quack ! On this Pat screwed his mouth, and looked very queer for some moments ; but speedily rallyin, ,he exclaimed, " Och! and at very sorry for it • but then, my dear little chick, you were a trifle too long in spahise;." A Mr. ARTIIUR WALL, who is in his 109th year, having been particularly invited to attend the celebration of the 4th. at Raleigh, North Carolina, excused himself on account of being " busy with his crop ;" but said he would send one of his boys, a lad of 82, with his toast. We understand it was ascertained by the rain-gauge, which is kept at Huntly Lodge by Mr. Murdoch, that the depth rain which fell between five •'dock on the morning of the 3d inst. and the same hoer on the 4th, wa4 S/ inches. The ge for the year being about 25 inches, it hence appears that the quan tity of rain which fell in the course of 24 hours was nearly one sixth of what usually falls during a whole year. The depth which had fallen during the present month, up to the morning of the 17th, was five inches.—alberdent Chronicle. Accounts were received in town on Saturday, of a most melancholy and fatal accident which had occurred to Mr. Wadd, surgeon, of Park-place, St. James's-street. This Gentleman left town, for Ireland, about ten days ago, accompanied by Mr. Teg gard, the apothecary, of Pall-mall. As these friends were travel ling together in a post-chaise, net far from Cork, the pat boy, by some accident, dismounted, and the horses took fright and ran off . Mr. Teggard prudently kept his seat in the carriage, and was taken out, as the end of about two miles, uninjured ; but Mr. Wadd, upon the first discovery of his danger, jumped out, and was killed on the spot. He was Surgeon Extraordinary to his Majesty, and bad long been one of the Council of the College of Surgeons, and was elected by the College, only two days before he left town. to the distinguished station of one of the Examiners. He has left a widow and :one daughter, yet grieving for the loss of a son and brother, shipwrecked not many months ago. George Reed, a wherry man belonging to Dent's Hole, fell out of a boat into the Tyne, near 'David' Staith, and was un fortunately drowned. _ _ _ Robert Beswick, son of Mr. James Beswick, hatter, Bishopswearmouth, aged 14, fell overboard fronl the ship Jame. son, of Sondesland, three days after she had left Archangel, and was drowned. BOAT, &c. FOUND.—On the 19th init. a fine large long•bnst, in good order, with " Diana of Ambwich" on her stern, was found in Ilaloary Bay ; snd a large log of pine timber was picked up at sea ow t6a precious afternoon, by the sloop Clementina, James Cumming, master, who saw a umbel of logs of wood, and a boat, supposed to be the one abovementioned, but could out pick them up.

The prisoner not giving a proper account u to hew be had be. come possessed of the spirits, was convicted is the mitigated re. salty of 1151. and in default of payment, committed for 5 mouths. A respectable-looking girl, between 14 and 15 years of age, was placed at the bar, charged by her father and mother with having pledged not only almost every article of wearing apparel which chanced to be left out, but her own clothes. The mother, will, tears streaming down her cheeks, stated. that for some time past her daughter had been in the habit of going from home, and sleep ing out for two or three nights together, and on her return laid bold of any thing she could meet with. Alderman ANSLEY admonished the girl, and regretted tha t s h e should have brought disgrace upon herself and family, who ap. peered to be very respectable. He then ordered her to solitary confinement in Bridewell for one month. BOW-STREET. John Beek, a coal meter in the empley of Mr. Telledb, of th e Westminster Land Cad limes 011se, wee smused cm the complaint of Mr. Thom Bread& deg dping debits certifying the due measurement of coals, without having been present at the measurement of the same, for which offence be was liable to a penalty of ten pounds, and to be dismissed from Mariam. Mr. Bradford called a witness who sew the cods laded at Huo gerford-wharf while the meter was net there, sad followed the waggon to Colonel Mot's, in Bryanston-square, where the coals were delivered with the tickets ; but _ _ _ _ Sir R. Maxis, on looking at the luminous, which cbarged the meterwith delivering the tickets to Absalom Abraham, the vendor of the coals, was of opinion that that fact ought to be proved. This not being done, the case was dismissed. MARY-LA-BONNE. The uncertainty of human affairs was strongly exemplified at this place yesterday morning. Daniel Ding, a good looking young man, very neatly dreu t d, was brought before Mr. Gamma, and cha rged under the follow ing circumstances, with obtaining goods and money by means of false pretences. _ _ _ It was represented by Mr. Isaac Morey, of Park-street, Dor set-square, grocer, that the prisoner had lived for sometime in the service of Mr. Robert Todd, of the Alpha-cottages, Regent's_ park, as coachman • and that notwithstanding he was disch a r ge d by his master on Wednesday last, be came on Thursday to the shop of the witness, and obtained fibs. of tea, 61bs. of sugar, a bottle of soy, and other articles, in the name of his late mistress. He re turned again the same day, and borrowed thirty shillings, under a pretence that Mr. Todd had sent bins to Piccadilly, for the luggage of a young lady related to the family, and he had not sufficient money to pay for it, and no means by which he could obtain any, unless the witness would advance it, or he (the prisoner) wan down to his master's country house at Hatchet. He came again yesterday morning, to borrow five pound in his master's name, but the witness having heard that he had left his situation, sent for a constable, and had him secured.

At length it was determined by the workmen in the factory that two of them should conceal themselves in the warehouse and keep watch. On Wednesday night they concealed themselves in the warehouse, and between one and two o'clock In the morning they heard a noise on the root like the removal of the tiles. They re mained quiet, and presently seem, of the tiles were taken or, and they perceived the figure of a man drop from the roof into the warehouse.

The two men then rushed from their place of concealment, and secured the person, who was the pri soner.

In three days more she could not swallow, from the swelling of the internal parts of the throat ; and, to save bee from suffocation, an operation was immediately proposed.
