POLICE, E;'‘. in 1793 as bailiff. Rick-yard gate was then a five barred gate, with sharp pales on top, nailed on to the gate. Lived four years with plaintiff in the cot tage, and always during that time kept the gate leckTd. There was the same sort of pales between the gate and the orchard. Always turned boys and trespassers out of the rick-yard by my master's orders. Saw Robcrt Taylor there one day foraging fur his horse. Turned them ton. _ .-.... Cross examined by Mr. Serjeant Pau..—The cot rage in which Rigs lives has been built many years; Lave seen better stiles than the one on Freeman's hill; it Las only two bars to it ; don't know fur the ease of it ; no step to it in 1793. It is ten years since I saw the place ; I tinned *wick all the persons I ever saw in the I i6:-yard or plantation; don't know the names of any of them ; that was no step to the stile ten years ago. .doh l Colbourn, aged 53. Had known the plain- till's premises for 45 years past, and the cottage; there were formerly two there ; remembered the gate in the rick-yard ; there was nu gate there when wit ness first knew the premises, but the hedge was con. tit.ued all the Troy on to the orchard ; remembered the first gate being put there, it was a five.barred gate, w th tenter•hooks placed on the top, and it was always kept locked ; never knew defendant's father to use that way but when he went to church : had seen pieple use that way, and knew many to be for hidchn : plaintiff and his tenants went that way to Langton Chureh. Cron•-examined by Mr. Serjeaat Petr..--Thcre was a pl tee, a stile, about 40 yards farther ill the road in: people to go over the field towersls Wirnhorne ; there were two steps to the stile : knew thv stile ad joining Mr. Farquharson's property ; it was the same stile lie had ever known there; never was denied going over the Rat.•, because he never waa catched there : had got through the bars, and over the spikes. and gone down the path t there was an allowed path; but when you go there you go upon trespass; there v.-as a track at Farquhatson's stile, in the middle of the field. Re-examined by Mr. CASBERD.—There Was no track in the rick yard. Recollected the premises 56 or 57 years :eten, and there never was any reputed ' , ollie way there. Thomas White, Wm. Ellis, Mnry Kimher, and Joseph Cumberlend, deposed to the fact of the gate being there, and lucked up and fenced, as described by the f enter witnesses ; and as to boys being turned off the ;menthes. Here the plaintiff's case closed. Mr. Serjeent PELL, in reply, commented ret the evidence that had been preduced, and assured the Jury he should be able to lay se clear a case before them. establishing a right of way over the close in eirestion, as would entitle the defendant to their verdict. He should be enabled to do this by several very old witnesses, who could speak of facts occurring much longer ago than any of the pl.tintd's witnesses had-beets able to prove. Otte of his witnesses we; neetly 90 years of age, and others between 70 and 80. The Learned Counsel poirted out to the Jury one particelarly strong and leedieg feeture in the case, upon which all :he plain f-frs witnesses, an their examination. or in chief, had been prterctly silent—timely, the stile ureic!) bed ex ivel rreernen%-hill, ou the spot wheel. the pieta tiff's and Mr. Faequherson'e lands joined. He un dertnek to .a j, diet that stile would decide the cause; and it was carious. mei not very candid on the part of the plaintitl, that that stile was never in any way noticed in the plan of the preinievs produced by ais Learned 1 7 6:11j, 1 , 11. Caeberd. It was beyond dis. puce that the stile did now exist. and hat: teen In the same 4itmation fur a great number of years. Mr. Farquhersen had allowed the path leading through Lis g:ounds up to this stile, and so &wit to, and ehreugh the close in question. belonging to the ; plaint ff, LO be used, and had never complained of it. Why did not Mr. V. bring an act en ag,inst persons going that we) , over his land ? The inference was plain to the commonest understanding because Mr. Y. knew it to be an old accustomed toot way to the church at Langton ; and, indeed also of course, to other places lit yond that. Near the cotteee where some of the plaintiff's witnesses described themselves as having resided, he should pr lye there were the ruins of an old chapel, now disused as such, and part of which had been converted into a stable. It was the fairest supposition in the world that, in preceding ages. there might have existed on that spot some mo. mimicry or relgious house, such as were dissolved in the reign of Henry VIII. In such case that spot would then have centained numerous inhabitants, fur whom it would have been the nearer way to have gone to Langton church, and the lower road through the close of the plaintiff. The probability of this .fact was proved even by one ef the plaintiff's own witnesses. who stated the existence of an old stilt. about forty yards distant from the gate, about which the Jury had heard so much. The ground from Langton church to ti:c locus in quo rises considerably, and it is in evidence that the tower road is flooded in winter ; so here is another reason for the path, snd why it should take the direction it does, through the .plaintiff's premises. Now, Gentlemen, as to the de. fendant's father having asked and obtained leave to go through the plaintiff's close with bushes, there is not much in that. Granted it was so, fur there is no doubt about it, and we admit the fact ; remember the defendant's orchard adjoins the pleintifl's close, and Athuugis there were a right of way over the latter, yet the defendant's father was not entitled, in order to mend his own hedge with the bushes, to go out of the pa:h and trample down the plaintiff's grass. As to the whet instance of leave stated by plaintiff's witnesses to have been asked by the defendant him-1 self is go through the close, with another Gentle snen, I have this answer ter it—that even admitting, fur argument sake, it was so, what does it matter ? We say there is a public loot path through the close, which the public have • right to use at all times ; and if that be proved to have been immemorially the ease, nothing dime by the defendant or any one else, can lessen or injure the rights of the public ; which it is not in the poeveeof an individual, or any body of individuals, to concede under any circumstances whatever. Gentlemen, I undertake to say, I shall, by my witneues . most unequivocally prove the ezis. tem, beyond tie memory of man, of a public foot. way out of thereiad into and through and over the rick.yard and rlantation of the plaintiff, over Free. man's Mil to 'the stile at Grottens, and so on to Langton ; and hiving so' done, my client will be en titled to your verdict. which will ptu an end to this usurpation on the pact of the plaintiff. Thomas Shitler was then called, who stated he was 88 years of age next Christmas ; knew Crosse's house at Langton ; worked there when he was only nine years old till he was twelve ; remembers the place which is now the rick yard and plantation, and also Freeman's Hill. There was then a way from the Wimborne turnpike road ipto the place now a rick. yard and plantation, under the hedge, into Squire Snow's cow lees ; remembers there the old stile going over Freeman's Hill into a field then called Grottens; it had ban and a step, and the path eon. trued to Langton church, and was a church road ever since witness could remember. Witness saw the gate at the rick barton a few days ago ; that gate was al ways there during witness's remembrance. Knows St. Leonard's chapel, which is en the opposite side of the road to the rick yard gate ; the ruins of that chapel are now visib!e ; there used to be other buil- 1 dings there ; part of the chapel is now converted info a barn. There is a bridge between the chapel and the road, by which ptopie used to go to Danrinill4 farm, and sonic part of the town of Blanchard, with out going thriarith that town. The gate into what is now the rick baton was a com.nen five barred gate; and when witness first knew it, it fastened like a door, with a latch. On the eight of the gate, between that and the orchard, were three bets and a stepper to get over ; lived allow :he spot all his life. Had beei on the place in question an hundred times, and seen *- pie go that way to Langton church ten or a dtaxerdtt a time, before the gate was dine op. it was a cont. mon road to the church ; Mr. Bosh had St. Leo-. nerd's and Danarill srr ms ; afterwards Charles Harvey ; he reined Oval of Squire Reeves ; then Page of the Greyhound hail them. Ridout has had it 3u or 40 years. The gate was not done up when be first had the premises. Cross-examined by Mr. Casnenn.—Was baptized in the old church at Blandlord ; lather's name was Richard ; does not think plaintiff has had the pro perty so long as 50 years ; may have had it 40; has been along the way but once within the last 4J orkt years, except once, about three years ago. John Howe, aged 73 next birthday, remembers St. Leonard'. Ciepel, and the gate opposite, going into what is now the rick-yard, between sixty and seventy years: when witness knew the place, he.,, would have gone from Langton up through Grottens, over the stile t"ere with steps to it, down to the gate at the c:-reer of Mr. Crosse's hedge, and then, by getting ever same bars at the side of the gate these, or limiest; the gate, could have got into the turn pihe.road ; eitness meant the bars between the gate and Mr. Crosse's orchard ; bad seen a great many people go that way ; all who liked it then went that way, as it was a commie. rnad ; ro one ever forbid the witness. Mr. Ridout had not then botight the premises. Cross ex mined by Mr. BAYLTY.—Was on the pre mises last Wednesday; sometimes the gate was open, sometimes got over the bars on the side; went over those bars about four ye irs ago. • Re-examined by Mr. Serjeant Pete.—At srst there ! was a st ?ping. pl ice over the bars; et late years there thus been new. John Pain, aged 73, knew !he place ir. qnesenr 60 years ago, or better : often 'sent trot St. Leonaral, Chapel to Langton Church over a five-barred gate; soni,:times opeeed it ; and sow climes over some bars on the right of the gate, along the hedge, across a field ; there was nei plantition there ; new Grotten's stile; it now stands where it ever did since my me mory ; we used to go ov.l. it to Langton Church; all woo minded to go went at that time, and there was no denial. I remember Dr. Mitchell; used to go of errands for him. Have 'tone with him over this way. Knew Coker when St. Leonard's Farm was his own. Harvey then rented it of Coker. I remember seeing Coker and Harvey together talk ing about some persons having injured the peas there. Harvey was then my master. This was about sixty years ago. Harvey asked Coket if he might stop up the toad, as the people came aid damaged his p:as ? Coker said it could not he stopp , ?.l, it was an allowed road to the Church, and was so in his father's time, and brittle that, and could not be stopped; and he put his hand on my head, and said, " Boy, when I am dead and gone, remember this is an allowed road: they cannot stop it." lie 4;.41, that in the winter time the people would- be up to the middle in water it they had not this road. %V. Plummer, aged 70, and W. 'rapper, aged 81, proved having seen persons go over the gate in ques. lion, and , the bar on the side, and so over Freeman's Hill to Langton Church. Mr. CifOriEitn, is reply, commented on the evidence for the defendant, and Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed np the evidence. The Jury returned a verdict tor the defendant ; theteby establishing the fact i f :here being a public right of way ova the premises is question. tWENDLINO.—On Tuesday a man, dressed like a butcher, went to the house of ON:.

The same Man went to the Bi. ship of Lincoln's house, in Great George-street, and obtained a leg of mutton under s sinolar pretence. He went to another customer of Mr. Thomas's, ir. Great George-street, and obtained a vtry fine piece of roasting beef under similar circumstances. The servants waited till their patience was exhausted, for other joints to be sent in the mom of those taken away ; and the dinner time approaching they sent to Mr. Thomas's shop, in Charing Cross, when the boating fraud was discovered, as Mr. Thomas had • no such a man in his employ, nor had he sent for the joints of meat, hey having been properly sent as ordered. One of the coaches from the Belt-in-Tun, was overturned in Kensington on Sunday, with five in side and a full complement of outside passengers, some of whom were much injured. The accident is supposed to have been occasioned by the kiach-pin either breaking or otherwise giving WORSMP ernvere.—A young Man named javEn .

The Priso ner was fully committed. MA R LBO R °UGH ST *NW was arged with falsely assuming to be the widow of a Clergy man, and thereby endeavouring to impose upon Ge neral Brown. The prisoner called upon the General In Saekville-street, and stated herself to be the widow of a Clergyman in great distress; she had with her a petition, signed with many names. The ptiscner gave an address, where she stated she resided, ai,d the General, in order to ascertain the extent of her alleged distress, appointed her to call again, whilst, in the interim, he made inquiries respecting her. He found out that the prisoner had imposed upon him and given a fictitious address, and he had her secured when she called again.—The prisoner was remanded. ' C.

He drove to the Circus Turnpike-gate; when finding the erisoner had no money le pay the toll, wives' drove back to his yard, gave charge of him, and he was lodged in the watch -11-t_c, which lie afterwards partly destroyed.

Between ten and eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, as Mr. William Perry, of Wardiw.street, Soho, was coming from West-end Fair, with his wife and sister, he was stopped by four fellows, dressed as tailors, on Maida-hill, at the Iv of the Edgware-road, who demanded some money from him. Mr. Petry walked ee, but was immediately knocked down by one of the gang, who snatched at his hat.

Mn. .. Lett 's Deve,er.— :qr. Sadler's descent was in a cerl d, within a mile and a halt of Pelt-- hi!ad, rat - .lllace called Portliyelafeor, where he found t o several people who reaPy afrorded tlteir a , sistarce to secure the Ballo^,n, v. itiev lte disengaged himself from it, and who aft.:: wards removed ii to T.-:ely! , ead. it seems, that in a very short rind after iiis dep more, the breeze, which at first took /I,m fora ard 1 ArVl.y, l ost a great deal of its vlgonr, and the e t l,, c iry of l : is motion was consequently considerably din:it:idled. A favourable change. however, gave the balloon a fresh impulse, and it made the later part of the voyage very expeifitooudy. Had the wind held op favrurahly, as on his first ascenilii,g, Mr. SArn.re would have reached his destination in less thin half the time that his trip actually eccupied. Dtairg his voyage he felt the vicissitudes of heat and cild at the same moment. Tl.e sun was at one time ineen veniently lit, and affected every part of Mr. SADLER but his feet, which were excessively cold, and required I some .. itional caveriiig to restore circulation.— During .14 voyage, he encountered a snow shower. which was transformed to rain before it reached the earth. He passed perpendicularly over, and sew very distinctly, the pack. t which sailed from Holyhead on Tuesday alter noon. FIRE AT Watent.no PLaer..—Yesterday, about four o'cl ck P. M. a dreadful fire broke out in the new buildings opposite the Prince Regent's Pa'Ace. It commenced at the principal house, on the wett side, vvluch has a frontage towards Pall-mall, and ;.; oiritimented with a series of lonic columns. Tee flames first appeared through the roof, being preeed , d by volumes of smile. The premises were occupied by the wife of one of the workmen concerned in rwe erection. It was a long time lietore water could 1...er procured, and only two small engines were brons!it into action at a sputter bet re five o'clock ; but Loon after Eve several others were bregght into play. Un fee-tun:Hely a high wind prevailed, which added to the evil ; and it was not until several adsenturiets individuals ventured upon the roof that any effect was produced. The engines, now acted with effect ; abut what tended more than any thing to stop the de. structive ravages was the eluting away the ratters cc beams which supported the vol. The temei ity of some carpenters excited the groatest fears for their pet zonal safety, they standing upon the narroe carp . pet envelop:el in fire ar.d smile, whilst they were breaking the slating, kr. A plentiful supply of wo ter tat half past five being judiciously adniiniste red, the fears began to abate, and at six o'clock all fortlirr apprehensions for the safety of the neightscurika-.1 were removed. Chairs, tables, &c. were thrown °et at the last alarm ; at the same time the peeple began to tear the sashes out of the frames on the tte cord storey. Through the persuasions of the firemei they, however, desisted, and then directed all ther attention to the guidance of the water pipes. 'F':: house was thus saved from total destruction. TV' damages arc confined to time upper stories. - _____ S.
