ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LEICESTER, Am 17. Before the Loss Cony &sound a Special Jury. LIBEL. REV. 11. TRIMMER, CLERK V. LORD lIIINTINGTOWER. MT. CLINTON (With whom was Mr. DENMAN and Mr. BA LOUT), opened the pleadings, by stating that this was an action brought by the Rev. Henry Trimmer against Lord Huntingtower, a Nobleman of large posses sions in this county, to recover damages for having erected several nuisances near to and opposite the plain tiff 's house, with a view to annoy him ; and also with having published a libel on his character, whereby he had suffered great injury. The damages were laid at 2,0001. Mr. DEN m AN rose and observed to the Jury that they had beard from his friend, Mr. Clinton, the nature of this action. In order to assist their perceptions, a plan of the premises on which the grievance complained of was erected, lay before him, and after he had explained the nature of the injuries inflicted on his client, he would leave it to the evidence to support the charge. The. plaintiff came before them with his comfort and re spectability in a great measure destroyed, and if the ease were made out, it would exhibit such an instance of gross inhuman abuse of power as was seldom witnessed. Mr. Trimmer was unfortunately the vicar of the parish in which Lord Huntingtower resided, at Bucluninster ; he was presented to the living in 1823, by its then patron, the Duke of Devonshire, who had subsequently ex changed the patronage with the Noble defendant for another living. When he came to reside he was given to understand that it was disagreeable to Lord, Hunting tower for the clergyman to occupy the parsoriage house, and was offered a rent for it and the glebe lands and tithes, or another living in exchange ; he refused to accede to either of these proposals, and upon the defendant being told that if the parsonage was too large, a tenant might be found, he said, " Oh ! no gentleman will ever come to live near me." Subsequently, too, be exclaimed against Mr. Trimmer's receiving pupils, saying, " by GOD, not a pupil should enter that house," for if he did he would bring back the parish penfold opposite the plaintiff's house, and would have a roaring bull in it. He was told by Mr. Trimmer that there was a remedy for illegal steps, upon which he said he wished he could get the plaintiff to go to law with him—be would carry him from Court to Court, and would spend 10,000/. over him—he had beaten the Duke of Rutland at law, and could surely manage Mr. Trimmer. The Learned Counsel detailed at some length the mode of this and other hostilities car ried on by Lord Huntingtower, to annoy and injure the plaintiff ; amongst others that of writing various anony mous letters to the Bishop of Lincoln, and a Mrs. Lang don, the mother of Mrs. Trimmer's pupils, both of which were subsequently admitted in evidence, and concluded by observing he was at a loss to conceive what species of defence would be set up in extenuation of such conduct ; for one, he would be glad to find that there was some provocation—that some angry word had escaped from Mr. Trimmer, as it could scarcely be supposed that such a series of unjustifiable proceedings could have been pur sued, unless some had been given. In remarking upon the sum at which the damages had been laid, he must be allowed to express a hope that the Jury would not consent to cast any censure upon Mr. Trimmer by giving leas than was claimed ; indeed he had been strongly advised to increase them, for no sum could repay the injury sus tained by this Gentleman, both as regarded his family', his feelings, or his credit as a Clergyman; in fact, any attempt to lessen them must originate in the fertility of his friend Mr. Clarke's brain, and not from any reason able ground of defence. Mr. John Trimmer was then called, and stated that he is the brother of the plaintiff, whom he accompanied in 1823, to take possession of the living of Buckminster ; he bore out the statement made by Mr. Denman, as to Lord Huntingtower's threatening, and added, that his Lordship had said, " I have tried the roaring bull at Grantham, and beat them at law into the bargain, so it is strange if I can't beat Mr. Trimmer." Mr. George Browne called, and from his statement we gathered that he was a pupil of Trimmer. Went to him first in September, 1828. On the following Mon day another pupil, Mr. Langdon, joined the establish ment, and both on the same day went into a field at the back of Mr. Trimmer's house, to shoot with a pistol at a target. This field adjoins ord Huntingtower's Park, who presently came in his carriage to the field, and desired them to give over shooting. Witness refused. His Lordship went to Mr. Trimmer's, and said be would not have these d—d boys shooting next his Park ; and some angry words passed, when the defendant went away, saying, " You'll see what I'll do to-morrow." Next day workmen came, dug up the foundation of the pound, and began to erect a new one. His Lordship came and superintended them in his carriage, from which he was unable to stir from a paralytic affection of his lower limbs. When three sides of the pound were up, a bull was brought ; a jackass was afterwards added, when the place was finished, and soon after both of them began to receive company. Cows were brought to the bull, and jenny asses to the jackass. More cows than donkeys were brought. His lordship thinking that these animals did not make noise enough, added another jackass. The pound was within a few yards of the plaintiff 'a door. Every Saturday night a she ass was turned in, and the consequence was a most hideous disturbance all Sunday from their brawls. Lord Huntingtower paid them a visit in a few days, to see how his contrivances had succeeded. A man brought a mule and tied him outside the pound, when a discussion arose between the Noble Lord in his carriage and the costermonger, as to the animal's capa city for increasing the noise and disturbance. His Lord ship argued very forcibly that he would not make noise enough to answer his views, or he would purchase him,. whilst the other admitted, that though his animal could not kick up such a row as a horse might be able to do, still he'd beat any donkey hollow. This sound reasoning prevailed ; in the end the mule was brought and put into the pound, where he remained, adding to the tuneful choir ; but as the costermonger's hint was too valuable to be lost, a horse was also brought some time afterwards, and placed in this extraordinary assemblage. All the gip sties who had donkies, all the farmers who had mares or cows, were invited to bring their animals to this place. With such temptations the inhabitants of the pound were never idle, and an additional jackass was soon found to be necessary. Not content with having proceeded thus far, his Lordship came down and expressed his hopes that Mrs. Trimmer was enabled to perceive all that passed, and intimated an intention of bringing a mare down, to tern her loose in the pound for the purpose of getting up a fight. The horse did sometimes leave. the pound, but the bull and the donkeys were always at home from Sep tember to June. Lord Huntingtower would often come and stay half an hour at a time at the pound, observing the success of his schemes. When the pound had been finished some time, a sign-post was put up inside, with a swinging board inscribed, " This Inn, Job Palmer—Boys taught Shooting here." This was taken down and replaced by others. There was one up now, with " Trimmer s Shooting Academy" on it. Adjoining Mr. Trimmer's house was a, plice that had been a cow-shed. Lord Hun tingtower built another story upon this, and made a sort of cottage, in which he placed a woman called Sally Hands, and another woman. A board was also put up, inscribed, " I spy Trimaier's shooting acadeuly." lle was one day at his usual post, the pound, looking on, when seeing the witness at the door of Mr. Trim mer's house, and Sally at her's, he called out, " I say, Brown, here's a girl I've got for you ; I want you to go to take tea and sleep with her." Mr. Trimmer heard him say this, and indignantly asked how ba dared address a pupil of his in that manner ? His Lordship de nied it point blank, when another young gentleman said he also had beard it. On Good Friday last, after church, the usual ceremonies were performed at the pound, and a mare was brought outside the enclosure, and a stallion from within made to bite her. Shy made a great noise. The witness, on being cross-examined by Mr. Hu m ' FREY (who was joined with Mr. CLA RIC in the defence) acknowledged having been convicted of shooting a hare, and of suffering a fine of 151. It was ifterwards proved that he was walking in a field with Landon, searching for peewits, when a dog put the hare up, and the tempta tion was too strong to be resisted. When this fact was elicited, a laugh and universal buzzing of " very. natural" came from the crowd, not excepting the Jury box. When hostilities were commenced, witness, the Rev. Mr. Trimmer, and others, procured a tin kettle filled with stones, poker, tongs, and shovel, marrow-bones and cleavers, and other " musical" instruments ; he paraded before Lord Huntingtower's carriage to drive him from the place. The parson wielded the tongs and shovel— witness melodised on the kettle of stones. Powder also was fired off under the horses' noses, and the, carriage was stared into by witness and others to annoy Lord Huntingtower. Recollected Mr. Trimmer's saying,— " That whilst there was such an old wretch in the parish there would be no peace." The distance at which they shot at the target, was forty yards from the Park, and they never shot in that direction. Lord Huntingtower a second time had called Sally Hand out, and told witness that he had got that girl for him to sleep with, and that her sister was a common strumpet at Stamford. Another pupil of Mr. Trimmer's was called, who proved the same as the preceding witness, and added, that on the Good Friday, when the bull and donkey had concluded their pastimes, a parcel of Irish people came into the pound, and a piper mounted the bars and played whilst they danced. The postmaster at Coltersworth proved the receipt of a letter from one of Lord Huntingtower's servants, which proved to be the anonymous one sent to the Bishop of Lincoln. Mrs. L►ngdon deposed to the receipt of an anonymous letter. The Bishop of Lincoln also deposed to the receipt of an anonymous letter, which he enclosed to Mr. Trimmer, cautioning him to avoid any such proceedings as firing with ball at a target ; and it was about to be read, when Mr. CLAnKE objected to its production as evidence, there being no proof that it was the writing of Lord Hunting tower. Mr. Dex MAN argued in favour of its being evidence, The LORD CHIEF BARON said, that unless such evi dence were admitted, there would be no possibility of bringing home the allegations to the defendant. His Lordship saw all the danger that might arise from this, but nevertheless he would suffer Mr. Denman to do as he pleased, taking his course at his own peril. The letter was then read as follows : Loan Bunoe—Yots are informed that Mr. Trimmer, Vicar of Buclninster, near Grantham, in your diocese. is daily disgracing himself by shooting at a target with guns and duelling *tab, loaded with bullets, to the terror of the people passing through the close, which is a much-frequented foot-path. This man has two pupils, 111 years old, and they all shoot in turns. The very neigh bours cry shame and are also afraid of their stock being killed by these three rascals. One labourer was nearly killed by them.— Lord Huntingtower, patron of the living, and Lord of the Manor, has in vain tried to prevent them. You will find all this true about this fellow : $ pretty vicar and tutor this miscreant. The inha bitants talk of sot attending at church if this shooting continues, and of summoning this wretch before a Magistrate. A FARMER." This and the precedingletter were written in a feigned hand, and were evidently the production of the same person. Mr. CEA RICE, for the defence, acknowledged that he had a heavy load to bear in defending his client, and that he could not justify Lord Huntingtower in what he had done. The libels were proved ; and the consideration for the Jury was the amount of damages Mr. Trimmer was entitled to. He should therefore confine himself to Mr. Trimmer's conduct throughout this business. The learned Counsel then enlarged on the provocation which the de fendant had received, and concluded by hoping, that though the Jury must give damages, they would show that Mr. Trimmer had not con d uc t e d himself with the strictest propriety in this matter. The LORD CHIEF BARON addressed the Jury shortly, and after three minutes' consultation, they found for the Plaintiff. Damages, 2,0001. Sir F. Fowx expressed in the name of all the Jury, a hope, that the nuisance would be immediately put an end to. The trial created great interest. The Court was crowded with the gentry and clergy of the neighbourhood. The convict John Brown, ordered for execution on Monday next at the Old Bailey, was convicted for committing a daring burglary and robbery in the house of Mr. Newton, at on the night of the 111 st of April last. Stepney, on night, an armed party forcibly took away a young woman from the lands of Looghgur, in the county of lA mulch ; her father and others went in pursuit, without success, but apprehended one of the fellow* concerned, having a blunder buss in his possession, which he presented at his captors. Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, the neighbour hood of Back-road, St. George's in the Bast, was thrown into the greatest confusion, in consequence of a fire having broken out in the extensive premises of Mr. Lang, sugar-baker, situate in Back rood, St. George's, opposite Blue Gate Fields. The fire raged With the greatest fury. and its progress was not checked until the whole of the very extensive premises was completely gutted. The damage dace is to a large amount. The premises had been very lately rebuilt, at a great expense. At a dinner given to Mr. O'Connell, in Limerick, on Wednesday last, he alluded in a pointed manner to the charge of Mr. Jostle* Jebb. " I treat that charge imputed to Judge Jebb (said Mr. O'C.) u a calumny ; but if it be true, I mull bring it before Parliament—(Loud and continued cheers). I have often told Members of Parliament of the conduct of some Judges. I often told, them of the sacrifices of hunt.ti life, of which they were the cause,. and I never could get one of them to say a word upon the subject in Parliament. If Judge Jebb has said what is charged to him, I shall bring him before the Parliament, and make one example at least. What: at a time when the fields were smoking with blood, and the earth filled with gore—Oh ! I can't believe It—yet, if it be true, it shall he exposed, and punishment may be nearer than may be expected."—On pr oposing the Marquis of Anglesey, some severe strictutes were passed on the conduct pur sued by the Duke of Nonhumbetland. SPEAKING ASIDE.—A diffident lover going to a pa rish clerk to request him to publish the bums of. matrimony, found him at work okras, in the middle of a ten-acre lot. and asked him to step aside a moment, as he had something particular for his pri vate ear. .* Lately a took pluce at.

DUBLIN, Atrourr 14. Wednesday being the anniversary of his MAJESTY'S birth, the event was celebrated with mach splendour in the Phenix Park. In the morning a Lltdon lag was hoisted ea the Tower at the Castle, and the bells of some of the Churches peeled merrily daring the day. At ten o'clock eleipages of all Made, from the dashing ha:ceche and four, down to the bumble jingle, began to pour into the Park for the purpose of witnessing the Review. Soon after tee the 17th Lancers, all of the sth Hussars Dow in Garrison, two troops of the 7th Henan from New bridge, the Ist Battalion of the Coldstream Guards, the 324 and 64th Beginning of Foot, sod the Horse end Foot Artil lery, arrived upon the Fifteen Acres. The Cavalry looked spin. didly • their horses were in fine order and high spirits. Ab out elm.; o'clock his Grace the Lord Lieutenant, attended by his Aides-de-Camp, rode from the Vice-regal Lodge to the ground. His Grace wore a General's fed dress uniform, and was mounted upon a beautiful annul charger. Immediately after his Ex cellency followed the Ditches. of Northumberland, in a splendid barouche and six, pressdsd by &udders and followed by a long retinue of servants in dean leery. The scene at this moment was extremely fine. The aumesphine was lofty and bright, and a gentle breeze dispelled every emptier. The different bands having played God save the King, the military fell Into lines, and having been inspected by the Lord Lieutenant, the Comstaader of the Forces, the Commander of the Garrison, Lord Bingham, Lord Brudenel, and a number of Field °Seers, the tn.mituvring commenced. Many of the evolutions were splendid, and the charges were ad mit ably executed. The formation of the light companies into a Ride Battalion contributed much to the effectiveness of the ar. rangemeuts. The cannonading was kept up spiritedly from twelve till two o'clock, when the Duke rode of, accompanied by Sir John Byng, Capt. Doyle, Captain Wellesley, Ike. Ike. Scc. For tunately no accident occurred to mar the festive scene. The review was conducted by Major General Daibiae. and Lord Lieutenant, previous to his retiring from the field, compli mented the General upon the excellent manner It had been managed. As the different regiment. were quitting the field, a heavy rain began to fall, and those whom the cannon's roar could not terrify, a smart shover soon scattered is all directions, and in half an boar afterwards none were tole seen in the Park but thoie who received special invitations to the Vier-regal Lodge. The fete given it the Vice-Regal Lodge, in honour of his Ma jesty's birth-day, was upon the must extended scale; nearly SOO invitations having hero issued to the 'inhabitants of Dublin an i Its vicinity, Including Atha oldeers of the garrison, and the Akers of the Royal Yadtt. .Sixteen marquees, and a still greater number of smaller tents. internally decorated with Sags, add internally with garlands and dowers, were pitched between the house and the road. with the considerate view of affording pleasure to the public in the path, as spectators. The guests universally complied with the benevolent wish expressed by their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Nortbuntherland, and appeared in liish manufsaure.

EXECUTION of STRATFORD the Murderer. Norwich, Monday, dam It This day at noon, the malefactor Joke Stratford aid. feted the penalty of the law on the platform erected on the sum* of the Lodge of the New City Jail, for the murder of n ames Burgess • and great numbers of persons assembled to witse as th e execution. Every window front which the sight of the pa wn mild be obtained was crowded, and the battlements of fit Giles % church (the tower of which let for SO presented numbers of sp ec . atom At nine o'clock, Messrs. Stevenson and Prontt, the Sheriffs, and Messrs. Staff and Newton, their Under-Sheriffs. arrived at the prison, where they found the unhappy object of their char ge en . gaged in his religious duties with the Rev. C. F. Millard. the Chaplain of the gaol. At ten o'clock the prisoners (debtors and criminals) were sum. mooed to attend the Chapel; and when they were seated, Stratford was conducted thither. On his way he beheld the platform, and no ped to take a steady survey of it for nearly a minute. the Rev. Chaplain read the Meech service in an impreadve manner, and then delivered a discourse which seemed to make a strong impression upon the prisoners. Twelve o'clock having nearly arrived, the Sheri ff •• and t h e dicers ofiustice proceeded to the room where the prisoner was sv engaged th his spiritual adviser. The executioner boned his arms and wrists. During this ceremony be behaved with on . common firmness. and frequently declared that his sentence was just. The melancholy procession then passed through the inner court-yard to the lodge, the Clergyman reading. at interval., portions of the Wrist service. The prisoner walked with a firm step, but he looked much paler than on the day of the trial. When he had ascended the steps and gained the summit of the lodge. he knelt down for several minutes upon the steps attached to the drop, and prayed fervently, but never at ticulated a word. At length he arose, when the Rev. Chaplain said—" Well, &rat. ford, have you anything more to say to me relative to your friends or otherwise?' "Sir, I thank you, I don't think that I have for. gotten anything." The Chaplain then told him to kneel down, which he did, and the former reaa a prayer which be bad composed for the occasion. The prisoner at intervals exclaimed." 1.011114 pardon mine iniquity, for it is great I Cause, stretch out thine arm to save me!" itc. After this be was again asked If he could think of any m ute he wished to be toads lusown ? He answered, " I believe have said all—my work is now almost done." He then approached tie Sheriffs, and thanked them for their attention to him, and the kind exertions they bad signified they would make on behalf of his widow and children. He dies shook hands with every person within his reads, and having ascended the platform be resigned biniseff to his fate, and the drop fell. After his body had hung the usual time it was conveyed to the Guildhall for public inspectioe. ; and to-morrow it will be trans ferred to the Norfolk and Norwich Hu-pital, to be anatomised, porsaant to his sentence. The prisoner was bout at Poswick, four miles from this city ; and in that village his lather, who is 90 years old, lives to lament his fate.
