On Saturday hot the celnmission was openedhe e re e l Mr. Baron VAUGHAN. and this day business commenced, Mr. Baron VAUGHAN presiding On the Crown side, Mr. Sergeant TA DD t on the civil side. Civn. Sals—Behme Mr. Sergaust TAM'. VAUGHAN V. CADLE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a basket maker, to recover from the defendant, a farmer, a com peination in damages for the injury the plaintiff received from being bitten by the defendant's dog. On the part of the plaintiff it was proved, that on the 6th of April last he was attacked by the defendant's dog,which bit Mtn so severely in the instep that he was under the care of a surgeon for six weeks. The plaintiff had applied to the defendant for some remuneration, which he at first ap peared disposed to give, as he desired a witness to inquire the amount of the doctor's bill, but he subsequently re fused to pay it. Several witnesses were called to prove that the dog was a vicious dog, and had bitten several people, and that the defendant knew of it. One of the witnesses said the dog was a sly dog,which would bite and run ; and another proved that the defendant said his dog had bitten the old basket maker, and he would disown him. The jury retired for about two hours, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—damages DM. Mr. C. PHILLIPS and Mr. LUMLEY appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW for the defendant. Mr. RICHARD/ opened the pleadings, stating that this was an action against the defendant, to recover from him a compensation in damages for having published a false and malicious libel of and concerning the plaintiff; Mr. TAUNTON said he appeared as counsel for the plaintiff, who is a publican residing at Tredega, and was compelled to come into Court to seek for a recompense for an injury he bad sustained by the defendant having published a most malicious and atrocious libel, which would ultimately produce the ruin of the plaintiff and his family, union that was corrected by the verdict of a Jury. The defendant was a printer and stationer at Carmarthen, and he (Mr. Taunton) would now state the circum stances on which the falsehood of which the plaintiff complained was ingrafted, and it would then be for the Jury to compare those facts with the account which the defendant had thought proper to publish. The de fendant was the publisher of a monthly publication, in the Welsh language, called the Welsh Star. In this part of the country the Welch language was still a living language, and the publication of falsehood through that medium was more likely to derogate from the character of any individual attacked by it, than if a similar publi cation had been made in an English newspaper. It hap pened that two men of the name of Birt and Woodward went on the 6th April last to the house of the plaintiff for some beer. The plaintiff, it appeared, kept three sorts of beer, two sorts of beer which he sold at Bd. per quart, the one mild and the other strong, and another sort which he sold at 6d. per quart. The men above mentioned were served with some of the strong beer, at Bd. per quart; they drank it, went away, and shortly after re turned and called for some more. They were then served with some of the mild beer at Bd. per quart. They did not like it, and became so angry with it, that one of them, in the height of his indignation, kicked the cup and broke it to pieces. The plaintiff insisted on being paid for his cup as well as the beer. At first that was refused, but at last one of the men paid for it ; but, by way of re taliation, assaulted the plaintiff, and beat him so severely that he was obliged to send for the peace-officers to re move the men who had been guilty dutch violence. Birt and Woodward were then taken to the prison of Tredega, and a quantity of straw was given to them to keep them warm ; but some friends of the prisoners having con veyed a light into the prison for them to light their pipes with, the straw was, by some mischance, set fire to, and before the key of the prison could be obtained the unfortunate prisoners were suffocated. The door was soon after opened, and every effort that medical skill could suggest was tried to restore them, but in vain.— Such were the facts of the case, and the plaintiff was no other way implicated than any other person might have been who had sought protection from a breach of the peace. A Coroner's Inquest was subsequently held, and the jury returned a verdict of accidental death, a circum stance which must have been notorious to the whole neigh bourhood. The defendant,however, thought proper to pub lish a different account of it, and it was of the misrepre sentations therein contained that the plaintiff now com plained. The Learned Counsel then read a translation of the alleged libel ; it was entitled, " Sad accident," and detailed the circumstance of the man having gone to the plaintiff's house for eightpenny beer, and stated that plaintiff probably gave them sixpenny ; that in conse quence of that a dispute occurred, and the men were, by order of the plaintiff, d off to a dungeon not to be equalled on this side o r fl g r e k d ey and Algiers. It then re lated the circumstance of their death, and after calling the plaintiff " a Hengist of a publican," warned all tip• plers that there were other public-houses in Tredega, where they could be supplied with beer without being in danger of being sent to prison, and that it was not the first time that people had lost their lives by the ungovern able passion of the plaintiff. Witnesses were then called, who proved the publica tion of the Welsh Star by the defendant, and the other circumstances detailed by the Learned Counsel on the part of the plaintiff. Mr. CANIPIRELL with whom was Mr. Sergeant Rus s x tr., then addressed: the jury for the defendant, and contended that the plaintiff was not entitied to recover, as he had offered to comply with the plaintiff's request, and deliver up the name of the author of the obnoxious para graph. The Learned Counsel then read a letter from the plaintiff's attorney requiring that the name of the author should be given up, and an answer of the defendant's, as suring them that the author of the paragraph was not actu ated by any malicious motives ; and in a subsequent letter, an apology was offered to be made in the next number of the Welsh Star. The plaintiff's attorney declined that, and said, that unless the name of the author was given up, be should issue a writ and proceed to recover a com pensation for the injury sustained. A letter from the defendant was also read, stating that the author would himself apply to the plaintiff's attorney, in order to effect an accommodation, and that the defendant would give up the author's name if the plaintiff would sign an in demnity to save the defendant from further trouble in the business. Mr. TAUNTON replied. Mr. Sergeant TARDY, in ameadag up, left it for the Jury to say whether the defendant had been actuated by my malicious motives in publishing the paragraph in question. The Jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—. Damages, 501. CROWN SlDE—Refere Mr. Dares Yamaha. Christopher James, aged 20, and Joseph Hornsby, aged 19, respectable looking young men, were indicted for robbing James Thomas, on the highway, and stealing from him a tobacco-box and a knife. James Thomas, the prosecutor, said, I was drinking at a public-home at Lbuogoylrym, on the 6th of April last. I left it at two o'clock in the day, and had got half a mils when I was overtaken by the two prisoners. James came ?p to me, and lifting up my smockfrock put his hand into my waistcoat pocket, and took out my tobacco box ; he then put his hand into my breeches pocket and took out my knife; be then knocked me down and gave me a kick. The other prisoner neither said nor did any thing. I pursued them for an hour, and overtook them when they had got about two miles on the road.— Some people assisted me in the pursuit, and in about anstbar mile further we took them. At that time the Omen had changed coats. Moses Thomas, a little boy, proved that about half a mile from where the robbery took place, he saw the pri soner James throw away something, and on going into a field, be found the prosecutor's tobacco-box and knife. The prisoners, in their defence, asserted their innocence, and Hornsby received a good character. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN IA it to the Jury to say whe ther the prosecutor's property was taken with a felonious intent, and if so, whether both the prisoners were con curring in the act. The Jury found both the prisoners guilty. Mr. Baron VAIIGHAN told the prisoners they would quit this country for life. TUESDAY, Avo. 25.—Richard Radnor, a respect able looking man, was indicted capitally, charged with having feloniously assaulted Elisabeth Barnett. • Mr. JUSTICE conducted the prosecution. Elisabeth Barnett said she was 13 years of age last month, and was then in the service of Mrs. Davis, of Lawrence-court. The prisoner was a married man. On the Bth July, at 8 o'clock in the morning, she was sent out to the Red Barn-field to bring up the cows. On her re turn she met the prisoner; he asked her the way to Rag land; she replied she did not know it. The prisonerthen took hold of her, and dragged her into a field. She cried out as loud as she could, but he put his hand over her mouth, and then accomplished his purpose. The prisoner after that called her back, as she was running away, and said he would give her some money. She continued to run away, and when she got home told her mistress what had happened, and described the dress of the man who had ill used her. He was a total stranger to her. She is sure the prisoner is the man. Cross-examined by the prisoner.--She did not consent. A girl named Susan had asked her what the prisoner had been doing to her, and she told her he had done nothing, as she was ashamed to tell her. She did not tell the pri soner her master would be coming that way. Mr. Luke Davis said he lived five miles from Usk, and the prosecutrix had been in his service about three weeks. In consequence of what the girl said on the Bth of July, he went to the field she had described, and them saw a track in the grass, and went in pursuit of the prisoner, and overtook him about six miles off, dressed as the girl had described him. He said to the prisoner " You are a nice fellow." The prisoner replied, " What have I done ?" Witness said, " You have met with a girl this morning," to which the prisoner replied that he did not hurt her. The prisoner in his defence said the girl had consented to all that took place. Mr. Davis, on being recalled, said he heard the girl say that she did tell the prisoner she would be quiet if he would not hurt her. Mrs. Davis could not attend, in consequence of severe illness. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN then summed up the evidence, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. His Lordship immediately paned the awful sentence of death upon him. \h, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

They maintained this order to the distance, where Hal (who is It only for hunting), and Goblet (a very bad one), drops off; Heise and Haji Baba then came up on either bide of Miss Craven, and ran a severe race home, the mare being second half a length, and Hein about a length and a half behind.

Or have the new emus of wealth up by the march of impromeasot mootoraated the pressure of taxation ?" Them are "Nudges often agitated, bet which ham not yet perhaps reedved a wahlootere solution. If we might believe the animal reports of our lismelen. we have been advancing in wealth with a constant, though not wetly an equable pax, all the time. For the truth of thi s = position, they generally refer to some of the mddledeies paying duty to the Customs or Buie. We have seen amminferts gauged at various these by the cominsptioa ofghee and ma" of kicks and tiles, of wine and tobacco, of tea and sugar, of amp and vinegar, and so forth! And, in one way or another, a show ot yea was always produced, In order to satisfy us that in *ea bad trade, heavy taus, sad new privations. every year was add ing to our happiness and lty ! If there is say truth in arithmetic, these annual ad should, in course a dine. have given us suck a ilh in the social scale, that the beggars of 1900 ought now to be on horseback, and the mechanics dour day ought to revel in what were once the lunties of gentians ! When the consumption of different years Is compared, three things are necessary to give a value to our conclusions.

Suppose, thee, that oar revenue yields 7011,01101. (roe seventy-third part) more in 1919 than in 1829, and that the tobacco, brandy, and wise consumed, have risen in the same proportion—what is to be inferred? Noe, sorely, that the people are richer than they were, but that their state has undergone no change whatever! If the increase exceeds the rate alluded to, we have then a symptom of improvement ; if It falls short, decay h kdicated. In the table Wale, we have endeavoured to obviate this source of error and hp wometain what the real effect of our taxation has been on the muldien of the . We have done dds by show. Ins what poetise of the eemgsedities consumed fell to the share of ten thousand penises at mask of three periods, divided by consider able intervals, end ausepoodlog to one another in being periods of peace. This may be oiled the proportional consumption. To avoid the effect of secoodery fluctuations, we have taken an average of three pan at each dine ; and though this throws one year of war into the middle period, the dreamscape, cannot afect the ac curaey the result in arty sensible degree. The table is founded on a liansetatary Paper newly published (No. 340), which has been used without garbling or partiality, for every article included ink has been put into the table. It must be kept in mind that it applies to Britain only, not to Ireland. The value of the table, it will be observed, lies chiefly in the snood calm of figures, which exhibits the quantity of the diffe rent commodities consumed by ten thousand persons at each of the three perk& The can= showing the rate of duty generally affords a key to the change in the proportional consumption.— Taken altogether, the articles perhaps supply better data for esti mating the condition of the counuy, than we can find in any other way. Without being strictly necessaries of life, they are yet consumed by all classes, and in greater or less abundance. ac cording te the degree of ease they espy.

In Tobacco. which has been called peculiarly " the poor males luxury." the consumption by any given number of persons Is nearly the same as in 1791, but has fallen of one-sixth since 1803. The whims of duty at once explains the cause. In Wine, which is a undid= to the poor, a luxury to the middle ran k s , an d a Daces sary of MN to the opulent, the consumption is me-third less than in 1791 and 1803. The adman of duty accounts for the change. In Brandy and Gin the prevent consumption is only one-half of what it was in 1791, sod may two-fifths of what it was in 1803 ! The mere laspection of the duty at the different periods supersedes commentary. In Rum, the consumption is scarcely either greater or less than it was in 1103. In Sugar, the constunptioo, which ought to have been Increased greatly, bas been stationary since 1803, and is only about one-third greater than in 1791. The duty is doubled since than. In Tea. as an snide recently introduced, sad much liked by all classes, the consumptien would certainly have tripled itself since 1791, if the taste foe it had not been checked by excessive taxa tion, and the monopoly prices of the India Company. What we Imo is, that among 10,000 inhabitants taken promiscuously, the =y of tea used would have be en thrice as great now as it was even years ago. Bo hew does the fact stand? The con sisamela at present is very little greater than 1791, and actually osiodstb part less than in 11103! Nor awed we be surprised at this rusk. when we lad that the duty is Dow eight times as great u it woe at the int of these partook! In Coffee, die increase has been greet, sad this has resulted partly ken a growing taste fee the article, and partly from a re dudon in the duty and the . Coffee has certainly taken the place of tea to some extent s incelB2S, whoa the duty was reduced from Is. to 6d. per pound. But in consmaptisa sae read of tea is equal to two or three pounds of coffee; and the increase in the one may therefore, probably, go nearly to balance the decrease in the other. Is. Sid. U.
