Oairidge's depo sition shortly stated, that he had some quarrel with Pearce on the road about a dog, when Pearce stabbed him with a sharp instrument ; but he did not know who gave the first blow. Nlr.

Barun GRAHAM seat:rely reprobated the barbarous conduct of the prisoner, who, it appeared, wnen find ing :lima& unable to get the hetet of his antagonist, took A knife from his pocket, stabbed, and WI him. A 3 t'ae quarrel was, however, sudden, and as the proof of malice alorelliought was necessary to con statute the crime of murder. the Learned Judge thought the prisoner guilty only of unlawfully killing. Verdict accordingly. STAITORDSHIKE. At these Assizes, which terminated on Tuesday se'nnight, sentence of death WAS passed on twang nine prisoners, seven of whom were left for execution en Sa turday, the 16th instant; viz. Edward Campbell, aged 52, for passing forged Bank -notes; Joseph Ver non, a.„ed 21, for forging a Bill of Exchange for 412 103.

Sohn Kean, the prosecutor, who is an Trishaws and s dealer in cattle, gave his evidence as billows e g I attended Newcastle fair, on Monday, July 14, and fold all the cattle I had kft ; received the money and put it in my inside waistcoat pocket; I dined at the Golden Linn. and its the evening two boys came there in company with some juggler; i slept at a private lodging; went to bed between ten and eleven, and souse time after one of the boys came and slept with see t I examined and found my money safe in the morning. and breakfasted with the boy. We then went together to the Cheshire Cheese and had a pint of beer; the prisoner Lewis came in, the boy knew hints tind pushed the drink to him. Lewis asked me where I was going ? and I said to Ireland, by way of LiverpOol ; he said he was travelling the same way mid would accompany me ; had an errand to do, but would be back soon; he then asked the landlord where a cabinet-maker lived, who went out of doors to strew him I I then went to the house where I slept for my bundle; in returning it rained very heavy and I went into another hoarse where I saw the prisoner Hughes, and another man in a sailor's jacket; the boy who slept with me and another boy were there also, and they were whispering together. I then went to the Cheshire Cheese and asked if the man was come back who 11.111 to join company with met he was not there, but CAMC directly after and we went away together; we had travelled some miles when Hughes and the man in the sailor's dress overtook us ; we walked till we came to two roads; one of them said this road is the nearest, and we took that which led to Talk o'th-Hill ; we went a good way down the toad and there was no house in sight but a gentle- Wian's at a great distance ; Hughes was behind about tea yards and appeared to look back, and from this tirne I did not see him till I felt a violent blow on the back part of my head which knocked me dawn dead; I was not stunned ; my coat WAS buttoned, as it ratite.' ; Hughes ripped it open and tore off two of the buttons; I shouted murder and robbery as loud as I could whilst on the ground blteding, but the man in the sailor's jacket put his band to my mouth and almost suffocated me. I begged for my life. Hughes took the money from my inside pocket. When I was shouting, Hughes said, ee Gi ve me a pistol to shoot the b---r." They threatened to kill me if I did net remain quiet. Lewis held my feet, and after wards took nsy'bundle. They then left me, and went back towards Newcastle. I went on and met two women who took me to a Mr. Poulson's, who keeps an inn at the top of the hill, and he sent for a doctor. After soy bead was dressed, people went in search, but could not meet with them. I am perfectly certain Ilse pileup ere two out of the three atca who robbed we. I was taken in a chaise to Newcastle to tee if could gain any information respecting them, and saw them in custody before the Magistrate on the Friday following, when I iinmeliately knew them." Thomas Hutchinson, constable of Newcastle, took the prisoners upon the rice ground, at Nantwich, from the description given him by prosecutor. Was with them before the May,istr.tte when they confessed the robbery, but said the property was not so much as the old man had sworn to. William Johnson, landlord of the Cheshire Cheese, corroborated the evidence of the prosecutor, as to the prisoner Lewis. The Learned Judge recapitulated the whole of the evidence with great perspicuity; and the Jury very shortly returned a verdict of—Guilty against both prisoners. DEVONSHIRE ASSIZES. These Assizes terminated at the Crown Bar, on Thursday evening ; and at Nisi rrius, on Saturday evening. James TriNun Watt, was indicted for forging an order to receive prize-money, dne ro Joseph Perry, Irciat..wain, in his M.ijesty's ship Plicehe, (from the capture of the American ship Java). It appeared, trom the evidence of Mrs. Petry, the wife rat the said Joseph retry, that prisoner had written 2 letter, for her, to her huihand, then and now in the East Indies ; by which, kliowing that it WAS not likely he would came linare, he in the month of September (as WAS most clearly proved by Mr. Solomon, then a !wry agent at Plymouth) came to the latter with an order to receive the said prize-money, and Mr. S. agreed to transact the bossiness for him, which he did. The Captain of the Pticebe swore positively, that the silt nature to the order, was not the hand writing of Joseph Perry. The—prisoner asked several questions scarcely at all connected with the business; but asserted in the most positive manner that Mr. Solomon had sworn The evidence being summed up, the Jury retired for about a quarter of an 'sour, and then returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned Judge in the most impressive manner proceeded to pass sentence of death, assuting him, that no mercy would be extended to him, in this world, anJ urging him to prepare himseli for that into which he was about to enter. Henry Harris and John Ward were convicted of sa crilege in the church nt Ashburton on the 27th April. Joseph Mudge, the piri:h clerk, prose(' the he. curing the church on that day, and that on the lA. lowing day lie found the lock of the church do..r had been fumed, and a silver Non, two silver salvers, a surplice, &c. stolen Irom the vestry a window on the north side had also been forced ope... The sett-n corroborated this evidence. Emanuel C..hen, a silversmith of Plymouth, proved that Godfrey (one of the receivers) came into his shop with a bar of silver for sale : the witness gave her SM. for it; it weighed 18 ounces : soon alter she came agaiu with H. Harris to receive the silver back again, because it WAS not money enough : witness Rave him 4s. more, and he went away : iu about nab an hour he returned again with another of the prisoners, Ward, who brought two other bars of sil ver, which witness purchased for 15 guineas. The clerk GI the parish identified part of the silver taken from the prisoners. They were sentenced to seven years transportation. Harriet Godfrey and Catherine Smith, indicted for receiving the property, were acquitted. NISI PRIUS. PRANCIs V. DAME& Thursday a case of considerable importance came before the Court, and which, from the nature of the circumstances, and having been before litigated at the last Summer Assizes, (when a verdict was given for plaintiff.) occupied heady ten hours in hearing, and excited very great interest. Mr. Francis, a farmer, residing at Crediton, and the tenant of Mr. T. B. Luxmore, of Okehampton, brought his action against Mr. Duke, a miller, also resident at Crediton, for having added to the height of a certain ancient weir constructed across the River Yew, adjoining to which the plaintiff has some fields; by means whereof two of the said fields, one called Denbury Broad Marsh, and the other Three Cornered Marsh. are materially injured. The plaintiff, to establish his case, called two witnesses to prove the height of the weir, the effect produced on the property of the plaintiff by the height of the weir, and a surveyor to prove the amount of the damage done. One of the witnesses, called Stuc key, on the part of the plaintiff, swore that a former plank weir was from 18 inches to 2 feet higher than an original raddle•weir, and that the present stone weir is also from 18 inches to 2 feet higher than the said original raddle-weir ; and that the rush of water, lin consequence of the too great height of the present weir, had worn a pit in plaintiff's Broad Minh, of very considerable dimensions. On the part of the defendant, several witnesses were called, who proved most decidedly that the pre sent stone-weir is five inches under the height of the old Brushwood, or raddle-weir, before mentioned ; and two surveyors swore, that the bed nf the r iv er near to, and immediately above the weir, is only two feet six inches from the top of the sill of the ..err; consequently, should any reduction in the height of the present weir be made, some mills, the property et the &tendons, situate just below the weir, and the stream or lent to supply which branches off from the river by the weir, must be rendered useless. Other witnesses proved, that in that neighbourhood there are frequent Roods cf water, and that the damage sustained by plaintiff, was caused by his inattention to protecting his ground, by weiring or raddleing, against such floods, end not by the heigl:t of &fen dant's weir, as alleged by plaintiff. The Jury (a special and most respectable one, of which J. T. Wtight, Esq. was Foreman) retired for about 20 minutes, and returned a verdict for de leadant. CLOUGH, VA V. NEIMAN. This was an action of trespass, against the defen dant for entering and breaking a lock in the plain tiff's close= the ease was fully proved. Verdict for the plaintiff with costs, which established his right to the ground in question. STOKE O• UUNDRID 01 'll4 cause, of the utmost importance to all Hun dreds, and the public in general, as tried at the pre sent Assizes for this county, and a verdict was found for the defendants, under the following circuits. stances: On the sth day of July, Hilo, the plain tiff's premises, cnnslsting of several dwe i teg-hrtneee, at Kingskerswell, in this county, were destroyed by fire; and the plaintiff, under the Act of 9 C;vo. I. chap. 22, commonly called the Black Act, hroeght his actionto recover the sum of 8200 (the sum li. mited by that Act) against the said Hundred, frr the damage he had so sustained. The Plaintiff' produced witnesses to prove, that the houses of the plaintiff were destroyed by fi-e, which broke out between ten and eleven &clock in the night of the 6th of July, ISl6; and to prove that the pre mises were wilfully and maliciously set on fire, the plaintiff produced three witnesses, who stated, that after the principal house was burnt down, they per ceived a black mark against the wall, as if the com bustible matter had been placed there, which, in the opinion of the witnesses, was the cause of the fire. Mr. Serjeant PELL. the Counsel for the defendants, called no witnesses, but made a most eloquent and impressive address to the Jury, relying principally on this important point, that in order to (liable the plain tiff to recover in this action, it mast be proved that a :doily had been committed, which would subject the offender to the punishment or death. The Learned JUDGE summed up the c"se great perspicuity, and agreeinz with the principl • laid down by the learned Setjeanr, left the case en irely to the determination ' of the Jury ; who, without re tiring, found a verdict for the defendants, the Hun dred of Haytor MONT ON MAME OP HAMMETT AND nTIIERS FILL'S AND OTHERS. This action of ejectment was t.n a great number of demises, among which was that of the demise of the Mayor and Commonalty of the Borouah of Ply• mouth. After the time of the Court had been occw pied at great length in reading deeds and other in struments, it appeared that the title of all the lessors of the plaintiff, except that of the Mayi.r and Com monalty nt Plymouth, had long since expirad ; and no evidence whatever was given for the plaintiff to chew that the Mayor and Commonalty had consented, by any act of theirs, to the ejectment being broug..t. On the contrary. the Solicitor for the Corporation, stated, that he did not even know the Nl.Jiar and Commonalty had been made parties to the ejectment until he came to the Assizes; and the Solicitor for Messrs. Hammett and Co. who was concerned as the Solicitor in the cause, as also his clerk, st on their cross-examination, that no demand whatever of the possession had been made on behalf of the Cir. potation. _ The defence was, that the Mayor and Commonalty of Plymouth had treated the defendants as tenants at will, and not as trespassers, and had not assented to being parties to the action, and that no demand of the possession, or notice to determine the tenancy, had been made or given ; but hlr. Baron GRAIIANI told the July they must pre sume such consent in the absence of positive proof to the contrary, and directed a verdict for the lessors of the plaintiff, which was accordingly given. ' With a view to the improvement of the Harbours of Dover and Folkestone, the Commissioners for the issue of the. Exacquer Bills, &c. have resolved to grant ‘lO,OOO to the former, and ie12,000 to the hitter, under the conditions and securities specified by the Act passed last Sessions. GAY wrote his well-known Ballad of Black eyed Swan upon Mrs. Moureonn, a celebrated Actress, contemporary with Oman. Afier her retirement rrom the Stage, love, and the ingratitude of a bosom friend, deprived her of her senses, and she was placed in a receptacle for lunatics. One day during a lucid interval, she asked her attendant, what Play was to he performed that evening ? and was told that it was Hamlet. In this Tragedy, whilst on the Stage, she had ever been received with rapture in Ophe/ip. The recollection struck ber, and with that cunning which is so often allied to insanity, she eluded the care of the keepers and got to the Theatre, where she concealed ' herself until the scene in which ()Melia enters in her insane state; sbe then pushed on the Stage before the Lady. who had performed the previous part of ti e ! character, could come on, and exhibited a more perfect representation of madness than the utmost exertions of the mimic art could effect: she was in truth Oithe fia herself, to the amazement of the performers and the astonishment of the audience. Nature having made this lest effort, her vital posers failed her. Ou going off she exclaimed 41 It is all over!"—She was immediately conveyed back to her late place of secu rity, and a few days after M Like a lily &voiles, she hung her head and died." A VILLAGE PATRIOT. —The footway from Hompeorr arid through Buell Petri, (a Royal demesne) to Kingston "pox Thames, had been for many years shut up from the public. An hoaest shoemaker, TItiIoTHY BENNETT, of the former place. " unwilling (at was his favourite expression) "to leave the wsrld worse than he food it," consulted an Attorney upon the practica bility of recovering this road for the public good, and the probable expense of a legal process for that pur pose. e , Ido not mean to cobble the job." said Tl - " for I have MKS hundred pounds, and I should be willing to give up the ow/, that great folks might not keep the softer leather wrongfully. The lawyer informed him that no such sum would be necessary to try the right ; then said the worthy shoe-maker, as sure as re/es are sole:, I'll stick to them to the last;" and Lord HALIFAX, the then Ranger of Bushy Park, was immediately served with the re li - gular notice of action ; upon which his Lordship tent for TIMOTHY, and on his entering the Lodge, his Lordship said, with some warmth, , 4 and who are you that has the assurance to meddle in this affair ?" '‘ My name, my Lord, is TraroTtry BemsErr, shoe 'maker, of liaroptonwick. I remember, an't please your Lordship, to have seen, when I was a young 'loan sitting at work, the people cheerfully pass by my shop to Kingston market; but now, my Lord, they are forced to go round about, through a Lot sandy road, ready to faint beneath their burtllens; a•iLl are sursorilling to leave the world worse than ijitund it. Th i s my Lord, I humbly represent, is the reason will I have taken this work in hand." 46 Begone," repited his Lordship, 41 you are on inopertinent fellow." How ,ever, upon mature reßeetion, his Lordship, convinced of the equity of the claim, began to compote the shame of a defeat by a shoemaker, desisted horn his opposition, notwithstanding the opinion of the et own Lawyers, and re-opened the road, which is enjoyed by the public without molestation 'otitis day. Honest TIMOTHY died about two years after, in the 77th year of bts age, and was followed to the grave by all the populace of Lis native village. POL l~ F. llaw•starrr.—Yerenlay F.
