THURSDAY, AUGUST • :30, 1821. HIGHLAND SOCIETY. Lord GWYDYR, whose judicious regulations and , handsome cond uc t at t h e l a t e C orona ti on p roc u r ed I, him general notice and approbation, established some years ago on the Drummond estates in Perthshire, which he acquired by his marriage with the heiress of the Perth family, an Annual Meeting for the pre servation and display of the arts and accomplish ments peculiar to his Highland tenantry. The Meet ing or Society is called St. Fillan's, from a romantic village situate on the banks of one of the most beau tiful and picturesque of the Scotch lakes, and is ge nerally attended by a ll the Noblemen aniGentlemen of the neighbourhood, in the Highland costume, from among whom the judges are chosen to decite the qualifications of the competitors in the various pro posed exercises, and to adjudicate the prizes offered by his Lordship. The following is a short account of the last Meeting, held on Monday se'r.night: " Early in the morning the company began to assemble ; the different clans appeared descending the stupendous mountains for which the country is so remarkable, all dressed in' the full Highland costume, with bagpipes playing in front, and clay mores drawn. As they approached the ground of competition, their appearance was noble and warlike in the extreme : the different Gentlemen appeared to vie with each other in the ele gance of the ancient garb, and in the athletic appearance of their clansmen. The company being assembled, thousands of pedes trians were seen seated on the front of the hill overlooking the stage, and the carriages belonging to different Noblemen and Gentlemen, exhibited, in the midst of those sequestered moun tains, a display of beauty and fashion that would have graced the ball-loom of any metropolis. The Ladies were, in general, dressed In the tartans of their respective clans. " The signal being given to commence the sports, the marks men fired at a target at a considerable distance, and displayed evident proofs of their superior skill. The bagpipes were keenly contested, and exhibited a knowledge of music which had a most interesting effect, favoured by the situation. " The competition for dancing immediately followed, which afforded great amusement, and was executed with grace and agility. Three successful candidates were chosen from the first twelve dancers, and a Highland Gentleman handsomely volun teered to make a fourth to dance a reel, which excited general admiration, displaying the Highland style of dancing in perfec tion. The Ladies, who were the exclusive judges in this case, seemed highly delighted and satisfied. The sword dance was very well received. Next followed the patting stone, in which. great strength and skill were displayed.. • " The Gaelic compositions gave universal satisfaction, and excited great interest among the Highlanders, and reflected much honour on the competitors. The foot-race for one mile was gained in grand style ; the winner ran the last half mile with evident ease, in less than two minutes. The sports of the day terminated with a boat-race for two miles, on Lochearn, which was decided in favour of Mr. M'lmax's boat. Immediately ' after, the Stewards awarded the prizes given by Lord GWYDYII, which consisted of bagpipes, dirks, snuff-boxes, Ossian's Poems, suits of Tartan, &c. " Thereafter the Members sat down to an elegant venison dinner, four deer having been presented by Lord Gwvara, which was followed by profuse libations of the genuine dew." ASSIZES. SURREY SUMMER ASSIZES-CROYDON. CIVIL SIDF-- GURNEY AND OTHERS D. LANOLANDS. This was an issue out of the Court of King's Bench, I to try—first, whether the signature to a warrant of I attorney, bearing date the 16th of April, 1821, for 1 £214. 13s. purporting to be signed by the plain- I tiff, Thomas Gurney, was false and forged ; and, se- I cond, whether, at the time of the supposed execution 1 of the said warrant of attorney, the sum of £5O was ' advanced and paid to the plaintiff by the defendant? I This case excited considerable interest. It lasted from ten in the morning until seven in the evening. The circumstances were these :—The plaintiff, , Mr. Thomas Gurney, is the son of the Rev. ' Gurney, Rector of St. Clement Danes; and the de- ' fendaut is a widow, carrying on the business of a ' carpenter and upholsterer at Epsom. In 1820 the plaintiff set up business as a schoolmaster at Epsom, with a small capital. The defendant had furnished his house, and he owed her £l6O 9s. as the amount of her bill. The plaintiff' had become embarrassed in his circumstances, and, on the defendant pressing for the payment of her account, in the spring of the present year, he, with the consent of his other credi tors, gave her three bills of exchange for £5O each, payable respectively three months after date. These bills having three months to run, it was alleged that, on the 16th of April, the defendant, accompanied by her son and one of the persons to whom she indorsed oxe of the bills, went to the plaintiff's house, and pre vailed upon him to execute a warrant of attorney in lieu of the bills of exchange, she undertaking to take up the bills when they became due; that the plaintiff agreed to do so, provided the defendant paid down £5O in cash, which sum was to be included in the warrant of attorney. The defendant accordingly paid him £5O, and he executed the warrant in question for £214 13s. including the expense attending 'the same. In two days afterwards the defendant entered up judg ment upon the, warrant of attorney, and took out exe cution against the plaintiff's effects. When the Sheriff's officer went in, the plaintiff declared he had never executed any warrant of attorney in the defendant's favour, and that if she had any purporting to be signed by him, it was a forgery. He then called the rest of his creditors together, and protested that the warrant of attorney was a forgery. Upon this fact being solemnly stated, a motion was made in the Court of King's Bench, on behalf of the plaintiff, by the rest of his creditors, for the purpose of having the warrant of attorney delivered up to be cancelled. On that occasion the plaintiff solemnly swore in his affi davit that he had never executed the warrant of at torney in question, and that the signature thereto was a forgery. In this affidavit he was joined by several other deponents, who swore, from their knowledge of his hand-writing, that the signature was a forgery. On the other hand, the defendant and other persons swore solemnly that the plaintiff had executed the warrant of attorney, and had been paid £5O as above stated. Upon thise contradictory facts, the Court of King's Bench *wed :his issue to be tried. 'l' he substantial issue was, whether the warrant of attorney ' was or was not in fact a forger . ) , ? I The first witness examined was the Rev. W. Gur ney, Rector of St. Clement Danes, father of the plain- PRICE SEVAN-PENCF. tiff, who deposed that his son is now, he thinks, twentr. seven or twenty-eight years of age. He is a school master at Epsom. He set up an academy there at Midsummer, 1819. Witness taught his son to write; brought him up till he was fourteen years of age; witness himself kept a school till then. After that time his son went to Soho-square school ; he is pet• fectly acquainted with his son's hand-writing.--. Looking at the warrant of attorney now produced, he is . peifectly satisfied that the signature is not his son's hand-writing. He has no hesitation in declaring upon his oath that it is not his son's performance. lie call; it not his performance, because it is done do venly, and with the appearance of imitation. His son is nei vous, and always writes quickly. Croo-examined.—After his con left school, he bee. came Clerk in the Invalid Office, in Craven-street,- where he staid until nineteen years of age. The plains tiff was afterwards in the coal business, in Grafton. street, Newman-street. He was married before the age of twenty-one. After a time he retired from business: the fact was, he became bankrupt. Wit ness is not sure that he' took the commission out against his son ; he thinks he did not take it out: upon recollection, he thinks he struck the docket against him. His on got his certificate about two years af terwards. He was not long in business as a coal merchant—say a few months. After that he went to reside at No. 310, Strand. His estate paid no divir Bend. His debts did not amount to more than £2,000. The plaintiff lived a year and a half at Epsom. Wit ness does not know that his debts there amounted to twelve or fourteen hundred pounds. Edward Thomas Bolton, brother-in-law of the plaintiff; Robert Durham, ecretary to the Vaccine Institution, Golden-square ; Mr. Scott, an engraver, in the Strand ; and several other witnesses, swore positively that the .signature to the warrant of at torney was not in the hand-writing of the plaintiff, but forgery., Miss Scoles, a young Lady, who lives with the plaintiff and his wife; Amelia Falk, a servant of the plaintiff; and John Blaber, a footboy of the plaintiff; were called to prove that at the time the defendant, her son, and the indorsee of one of the bills, called I upon the plaintiff, on the tGth of April, it was dark, and that they did not stay long enough for the plaintiff to-have possibly executed the warrant of attorney. f I Mr. MA ItRYAT, in an able and powerful defence, urged the improbability of the story told on the part of the plaintiff, inasmuch as it implicated no less than six persons in the crime of forgery without any motive whatever. He then called Laurence Langlands, the defendant's son, Mr. F. Salmon, Mr. J. Blake, Mr. Bird, one of the indorsees of the bills, and several other witnesses, the effect of whose evidence was to drew that the plaintiff had been very much embarrassed in his cir cumstances ; that the defendant, apprehensive that the bills would not be paid at maturity, called upon him to cleave the warrant of attorney in question, by way of collateral security ; th a t t h e p l a i nt iff agree d so to do on condition of receiving the sum of fifty pounds down in cash ; that this agreement took place before the 16th of April, which day the plaintiff him• self appointed to perform his engagement ; that a warrant of attorney was accordingly prepared, merely for his signature, and that on that day, in the even ing, the parties called upon him, when he actually signed the warrant of attorney. Long before the defendant's case was closed, there being upwards of twelve witnesses remaining to be called, the Foreman of the Jury interposed, and said, that their minds had been long since made up, that there was no question to try, and a little before seven o'clock they delivered their unanimous verdict in fa vour of the defendant. EXECUTIONS.—This morning, David Thomas, who was found guilty of the murder of John Mathews, at the Assizes held at Croydon, on Tuesday last, was executed on the top of the county jail, in florsemon ger-lane. The circumstances connected with this me lancholy affair were fully stated in the Star of yester day. The unhappy man, on receiving sentence, was dreadfully agitated, and, on his way from Croydon to Horsemonger-lane jail, was seized with a violent paroxysm of grief and despair ; he yesterday ap peared more calm and composed by the admonition of the clergyman. He was brought out this morn ing at a quarter before nine, and ascended the steps with seeming fortitude, attended by the Rev. Mr. MANN and another clergyman. After spending nearly twenty minutes in fervent prayer and seeming repentance, he was launched into eternity, amidst a vast concourse of spectators. After hanging the usual time the body was delivered to the surgeons for dissection. Wm. Mantle and Wm. Bird, convicted at the last Worcester Assizes, were executed on Friday last, the former for sheep-stealing, and -the latter for house breaking ; they both acknowledged their guilt, and died penitent. _ _ _ BO;.STREET.—Yegterday a lad, about 18 years of age, who gave his name as Willifint flakes, was charged with having fired off a gun loaded with gunpowder and small shot, whereby the persons of Hannah Stephens and -- Whitehorn were seriously injured.—Several witnesses were examined, and it appeared from their statement, that the prisoner had been shooting spar rows in a field adjoining Stingo-lane, Mary-la-llonne, and had placed a mark in the hedge that separates the field from the lane, -at which he discharged his piece, and owiOg.tgits being levelled above the hedge, part of the contents struck the witnesses, Ste ' phens and Whitehorn (the former in the face, and the latter In the legs), who were passing along the lane. Stephens c..11..d out that she was shot, and the prisoner immediately set off running, but was pursued and overtaken by Jame.; Lea, one of the Bow street patrol, who was passing at the time. On bring overtake• by Lea, the priAGner made great resistance, but was ultimately secured and taken to the Watch-house. Duraig the examina.. Lion, the prisoner evinced the greatest in dal ri•ce, and on being asked it lie had anything to say in his def.liLe 7 he replied that it was an accident, ar.d could ma be h.-4,e3., :ie.! that he thought it very hard that he should be detained in custody.—The worthy Magistrate rote him a severe reprimand, in which be pointed out to him the dreadful consequences that were likely to ensue from the careless discharge of fire-arms near any public higls. way, and then ordered hint to find b3l for the misdemeanour, • which, being unable to do, be was accordingly committed.
