ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. YORK, Ilmics 2s. WRIT OF RIGHT . — ANGEL O. ANGEL. This morning, as early as seven o'clock, attempts were made to obtain admittance at the Castle gates. Orders, however, having b::en issued that none were to be ad mitted to the Magistrates seats, without an introductory note from the Under Sheriff, but few pez sons obtained seats, and these Gentlemen of some rank and impor tance in the county, with " &oft of Ladies. whose bright eyes Reign influence." Those who had not the good fortune to obtain a ticket, waited with great anxiety until the trumpeters announced his Ldrdthip's arrival, when the doors were thrown open. No sooner had his Lordship taken his seat upon the Bench, titan it was understood the cause of their great anxiety was put off, or, to, use the technical phrase of the law—the record was withdrawn. Curiosity was then nn the tip-toe to learn the reason, when it was buz• zed about that, in consequence of the illness of a ma terial witness (on the part, we unders t and, of the de mandant), his Majesty's Attorney-General advised the postponement of the cause until the next Assizes. Sir John soon afterwards pr..cfeded to London. The retainer and brief fees, we have heard. were 600 gaineas. The property in question is worth about 6,0601. per annum. We oserved one of the Knights (Capt. Price) in Court, dressed in a blue coat and buff waistcoat and trowsers, and sword attached'. It has been a great disappointment to many, and particularly to the fair sex, ever on the look out for something novel. DODSWORTH AND OTHlnts V. INGHAM AND OTHERS. This was an action on a feigned issue, to try the tz istetice of a custom, binding the inhabitants of the soke of Wakefield to grind their corn at one of four mills, situate within that soke. Thetlaintiffs are trustees fur the daughter of the late Sir Thomas Pilkington, in whose family the right'of grinding the corn of the soke a the abnVe mills was vested, and the di:fend:ants are inhabitants - of two of the townships within the soke. The plaintiff., it seems, derive their title from the Saville fa mily, to whom the• Clown had granted those vice mills in the re gn of James I. which grant was con firmed b) Olker Cromwell. The Clown in those an- cient tiro - es h.td considerable estates in the neighbour. howfof Wakefield, and when it granted those mills to the Saville family, it grin - iced all the privileges enjoyed by soke mills. 'Chest were originally granted for the reciprocal advantage of the Lord of the Manor and of Iris tenants; the Lord being bound to keep the mills in ref air, for the benefit of the tenants; and the tenants to grind their co!n exclusively at the, mills, when they were in condition to grind it. The general known pn •ileges of ancient nulls, had been declared by two so lemn decisions of the Duchy Coint of Lancaster, before whom this question has been several times agitated. The but of these decrees was in 1761, %heti other milts were elected in the township of Wakefield. The first piece of d cumentat y evidence produced we; the charter of King JalitCp to certain trustees, on behalf of Sir George Sa -.idle. The second, a writ of the Duchy of — l 4acaster, in the year 1640, to do suit and service to the ancient Sake Mills. After whlchthe decree of 1761' was read, ordaining, that no inhabitant of Wakt field should spend, sell, or utter, in their dwelling-houses, any gram not round at the ancient Soke Mills. After a great number of witnesses bad been examined, Mr. Justice ii.tvLsv recapitulated the evidence to the juty at • great length, and the jury retired at six o'clor4, and at half-past ten delivered their verdict for the pl.tintiff. • This cause occupied the Court two days.

Mr. Turriano stated that Ms client became acquainted with Mr. Goundry, the Managing * Director, and a Member of the Society of Friends, when this fitter was travelling for an extensive tea-dealer named Nichul.on, With whom Mr. 11:1I used to deal.-s , Mr. Goundry introduced himself as a partner in the. Equitable Tea Agency Company, which be represented as a Company abounding with the most brilliant advantages, and infinitely superior to any ether in existence. In consequence of these representations, Mr. Bell was induced to transmit to William Crodhdry, bills to the amount of . 1/01. for tea. The bills remained in Mr. Goundry's hands until they were cashed, and then he sent one chest, value about 211 1 . and all his subsequent applications proved ineffectual, to obtain the remainder, or the restitution of his money. In answer to a pressing application. Mr. Goundi y sent a number of Shares in the Tea Company, which were altogether useless, and out at all mar ketable. He was debited with the amount of the shares, which were not acknowledged by the Gentlemen who appeared as Direc tors; and he was likely to remain nut of pocket unless the lord Mayor interfered. No one knew anything about Mr. Goundry, the projector, and the shares were nut worth a farthing.

The following case is mentioned in the continuation of Rapin Dining this Session of Parliament (1690, 3d William and Mary), happened an incident which made a great noise ; Captain James Campbell, brother to the Earl 1 , 1 Argile, assisted by Mr. Archibald Mont gomery, and Sir John Johnston, on the 14th of Nov. forcibly seized on Miss Mary. Wharton, daughter and heiress of Sir George Wharton, a fortune, as it was said, of 50,0001. and about thirteen years of age. She was carried away from her relations in Great Que:n-street, and married against her will. The next day his Ma jesty issued his Royal proclamation for apprehending Mr. Campbell, and the abettors of this m unwarrantab action; and Sir John Johnston, being apprehended, was tried, condemned, and executed st Tyburn, notwith standing great application was made to the King. andl the relations of the btide, to save his life ; which was thought the harder, as it appeared upon his trial, Miss Wharton had given evident proofs that the viokncel Captain Campbell used was not so match against her will as her lawyers endeavoured to make it. Not long before there was a bill brought into the House of Commons to prevent clandestine marriages, which it was thought this incident would have accelerated, but it dropped.— However, another kill was brought into the House of Commons die 4th of Dee. to render void the marriage. between Miss Wharton and Mr. Campbell, which, not withstanding the Earl of Argile petitioned against it,' in behalf of his brother, passed both Houses by the 13th ,of December." BOW-S Samuel iredgbury, a well•known beat-baiter, dog-fighter, and rat killer, located in Ciree.i Dragon-yard, High Holborn, was brought, to this ottice'on a charge of assaulting a broker, named Fox, v/bo trades in Earl-strivt, Seven Dials. Fox had been employed by the proprietor of the premises where Wedg bury resides, and keeps his' bear, dogs, badger, /cc. to &strain for rent, and took his follower with him ea Tuesday morning to make the levy. Wedgbury seeing them approach, swore that they should not enter his premises, his house was his castle, and he would have no intruders. Fox and his follower laughed at his boasting, and proceeded into the premises; but not a single article of furniture was found on the ground floor, all the property having been removed up stairs. They were aboot to ascend the stairs, when they heard the growling of a huge bear,,within whose paws they had nearly ad vanced, before they were aware of their danger. Having no desire for the embraces of this shaggy creature, they instantly retreated. Wedgbury sal,t 4 l, if they did niat walk away, his dogs (amongst which was Turk, which fought with the Lion Nero atWaivick), should be let loose upon them; and if they offered to come up stairs, his bear should give them such a gripe as they never would forget. Fox, who was not deficient in cunning, determined to effect by artifice what he dared not attempt to accomplish by force. lie knew that if he could get Wedgbury to assault hint, though ever so slightly, he Ebb') uld be able, with the aid of the p olice, to effect his caption, and to take pass ,stun of the premises under his warrant of distress. He induced Wedgbury to clewead several of the stairs, and them seised hint by one of his legs; \Vedgbury, without any ceremony, kicked him head over heels—and that was the assault complained of. Stevens, the officer, who had the warrant to execute, found the beat standing as a sentinel at the door, and six dogs were at the top of the stairs ready to be let loose. Wedgbury that a regiment of soldiers should not take him; but when the officer threatened to shoot his bear, and to get assistance to destroy his dogs, he surrendered. Wedgbury said that he had paid the rent to the person of whom he took the premises, and he had got the receipts. His landlord was in prison for debt : and the original lessor had come upon hint fur the rent ; and it was not his custom to pay twice. The blioatsvaars said he had nothing to do with the question of rent, an assault had been sworn to, and he must tiod bail. AI A RLDOROUG 11. ST Itt:ET. In the course of the watch-house delivery at this Oilice yesterday morning, a poor weather-beaten Lieutenant, evidently in half pay condition, and very blue in the visage —was placed at the bar to chew cause, if he could, why he should not be fined for havtug " put an enemy in his mouth to !trail away brains"—and his legs also, '•ideedL for the watchman declated that he found him lying down in the street," so over Jone with drink that he had not a leg to stand upon." Dryden says, " drinking Is the satchel's pleasure—great the treasure, sweet the pleasure, atc.". Saakipeirs makes the soldier dream of " health, fine fa/born deep ;" and Ocneral Wolfe is said to have recommende4 to his heroes" s bat 1, and kind laudiady" as a cure for every ill; but our Lieutenant ' .instead of quota% any of these great autautitiss is justification of his bibulousness, defended himself thus : " Sir, I-- I confess. Sir—that is, I admit that I—in short I ac knowledge that I was sumesebat--sumewbat inebriated in fact, — in consequence (don't you understaml ?) of my having supped with a friend or so. I certainly was rather far gone—rather—intoxicated a hide (don't you understand?) but, Sir—l du mean to cameos! (don't you understand?) that I have been most uttpleasantly—" Who and what' are you, Sir ?" said the Magistrate, ititerrupt ing hint • for his Worship evidently began to " understand" that the gall ant Lieutenant was still labouring under his over-night potations; but we verily believe he was labouring to defend himself in sober sadness, and that his "don't you understand ?'' is a query in constant use with him optimal occasions.—" Who and what are you, Sir?" said the Magistrate. " Sir," replied the Lieutenant, " I am an olscer in his Majesty's service—Lieutenant Zacarialt John Totukins, of the of own Rifle Corps, and on the half-pay list; and I must be allowed to say (don't you understand?) that this is the firm time—the very first appearance (don't you understand?) which I cher had the honour--or the—the isaisfortune--(doti't you understated?)—to' make before a Gentleman of your very particular function." " Well, Sir," rejoined the Magistrate, " it is psuved to me, by several witnesses here, that ypsr were very drunk, and I must inflict the usual fine. You must pay Ave shillings, and then you may re tire as soon as you please." " My good Si:," replied the Lieutenant, " I submit (don't you understand?) to your decision cheerfully; but, Sir, I contend that— that I have beets (don't you understand?) very—l may say very— unpleasantly situated all night. To be shut up (don't you under stand 1) in a dismal den, with an acknowledged robber—a felon (don't you understand ?) I take great shame—very great shame to myself, for having been intoxicated (don't you understand ?) though, by the bye, I don't think I was exactly what may be called :frank (don't you understand?). but, Sit, what [ chicly complain of, is the caressive unpleasantness of the situation in which I was placed. No bed—not a cup of colfee--not allowed to go home (don't you understand?)—seat warm water, no shaving apparatus— no accommodation (don't you understan d?)—no attention to one's wishes—no civility—no nothing !" • During the latter part of this speech, the Magistrate was attend ing to other business; and the gallant Lieutenant, boding he was not listened to, manfully told down his live shillings and departed. M A RY-L i,BON NE. A Jay or two since Mr. Kean, a foreign lace-merchant, residing in Portnian-sweet, Portman-equate came to the office, evidently under feelings of the deepest indignation, to complain of a violent outrage wlticif hid been committed upon the person of his son, a youth 416, an apprentice in the bons* of Stevens and Crofts, haberdsishers ant lacemen, of Ostord-street, by four of the situp men of that establishment. From the representation then made, Mr. liamusson issued a warrant against the persons accused, and they were yesterday brought up in custody of Morris, the raker, and shortly after Mr. Kean and his son arrived, the examination et 1 the charge commenced. The defendants gave their names Robert .Mix Deaniforel, Met East, Joseph Mandl, Was. Douglas. William Dennis Kean, the prosecutor, a for-looking lad, was then sworn. • He stated as follows My father apprenticed me about eighteen months since for four years ' to Messrs. Stevens anal Crofts, andgave one hundred guineas as a premium. I was for the first twelvemonth employed in the ware-rooms, and the re- mainder of the time in the shop. Mr. Stevens is dead, but 1 the business is tarried on by Mr. Croft, who lives at Blackheath, but comes to the shop daily. (M Monday morning last, about eight o'clock, I had dusted the shop-counter, when the defendant East time into the shop and brushed and dusted hi. clothes on the coun ter, which had been just cleaned. rebuked him for so doing, and be called me " a dirty rumbling rascal." I said be was as bad ;he then threatened to give me a thrashing before ail the young men in the shop. I merely said, I hoped they would see justice done," meaning that be would not be aliened to beat me unjustly. I went up stairs to dress myself in Italian hoar after, and, as I was passing the room where But and the others were breakfasting, I heard him my, " I will Rog him with th e whip." I went to nay room, where two ethet yoking men were dreseing, and after they had left, East coma inm the roma. I was that undressed, in my alibi.

CHASIIVRS, Rag in the custody of doling, the officer, charged with having frauduletttly obtained the sun uE five guineas Runt Mr. Jones, a linen dryer ut 11:gla surer, &maw. wat '- in the following manner _ _ The c.aiiplaniant stated, that on the 14th inst. the prlMlller came to his house, and said that he called for the purpose or informing him that he had some Ileums to dispose of situated in 'Lamy, the leases for which were then in his possession. He asked .Ur. Jones whether be was inclined to become a purchaser, as be should- have a preference. The complainant s replied, that he had no objection to purchase the property, in the esient of its being completely wain cumbered. In answer to which; the' prisoner assured him that the houses were free of ail incumbrances, Ittid produced a parchment, which he said was the original lease elf the premises. The dim plainaut examinee' the document, which appeared to be what it was represented, and the following agreement was forthwith entered into by the parties, viz. " I agree to sell to Mr. Jones, Isom houses in Temple-street, Hackney road, for the sum of 23;4 fiai.hed for immediate occupa tion, with locks, beits,p.c. " GgORGI., On the day in question the complainant said he paid the prisoner 10s. as a deposit, and on the 17th he paid him a hardier sulllof 51. upon the production of the lease of the premises, whe:i it was ar ranged that the following Tuesday should be appointed for th.• com pletion of the purchase, and the p iy ment of the purchase-money.— In the interim, however, on Monday last, the day before the re mainder oS . the purchase.money, amounting to 2501. was to have been paid, Mr. Jones Walked ov,:r to Hackney, in order to view the premises, and in the course of examination, he mentioned to a person that was on the spot his intention of becoming the purchase! of the four houses from Air. Fairfax. The individual alluded ter skid that Fairfax had nothing whatever to du with any of the pro perty in question, when the complainant observed that the informant must be mistaken, for he timid produce the lease which h d !wen made over to him by that person. Mr. Jones, however, was assured that the lease he held front Fairfax was a fabricated one, and that the original lease of the premises wa • in the possession of a gentleman named Harrison, to whom the prisoner had mortgaged 'lie pi °limy some time before, for the suns of 1001. Mr. Jones, upon this infer mation,lost no time in making tbe rileessary inquities,whee hr ascer- Itained the above facts to be perfectly true; and he added, that he now brought forward evidence to prove that the lease upon which the prisoner endeavoured to defraud him of the sum of £255, but out of which, very fortunately, added the complainant, he only re ceived the £5 10s. was a fabricated and false token. Mr. Harrison was then called: he produced the original lease of the premises in question, upon which he stated he lent the detendanc the sum of X2OO. in mortgage on the 7th of last Occulter. The fictitious lease was also produce!, which wrs well calculated to deceive, as It was precisely worded as the original, with the seals and the signatures of' persons as witnesses who were not in existence. The Magistrate observed, that it was a new species of tr.ud, and called on the prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of den. and two sureties if atso each, to appear at the ensuing Sessions, to answer the charge, to default of which he was commuted.
