James Pleasants, a boy 15 years of age, was indicted for having feloniously set fire to a barn in the parish of Lawshall, in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Bradley, a farmer, by which tile same and other building* were destroyed on 12th of May. 'Jute only witness in this case, in addition to tAe Prisoner's confessing, was a little girl about 15 years of age, in the ser vive of Mr. Brad Pl. She stated, that during divine service on the 12th of May, she was haft at home with the Prisomw and her mistress, who was ill lip stairs, her master being on a visit to Mr. Reinari, a neighbour adjoining.--The witness had been cleaning knives and doing dirty - work, for which she had occa ►ien to put wine water on the fire in a back kiielien, for the purpose of washing her Weds : the Prisoner was then present by the fire, when he observed to the witness, " Why don't vat go up stairs aud put en your clothes i'"—Witness replied it was wet, and she should not change her dress that day. She took the water from the fire to the sink in the sante apartment, and on turning her back, the Prisoner left the kitchen ; she did not see that he had any tiling in his hand, but SOOI3 after he return- , ed, saying, " tlie barn is on lire." This 'he witness was 60011 'enabled to perceive from a great quantity - of smoke issuing, Had immediately after she observed the place all in Shames. She instantly ran out and gave the alarm. The boy ran towards •the church, thinking his master was there. He, however ac cidentally met his master by the way, who by this time saw with great alarm the situation alias premises. There were several good and valuable horses, togteher with several cows and calves, betides whin- stock, which were totally consumed. The flames, however, did not reach the dwelling-house, from the finely assistance of the neighbours. W hell the Primner was aprehended, he voluntarily confessed that he hail conveyed in Lis glove a coal of fire from the bark kitchen to the barn, where he threw it amongst some wheat in the straw. This con fession was recorded by the Magistrates, who thereupon com mitted him for trial. It further appealed, that au anonymous letter, containing threats to three persons in the neighbourhood, had been pre %Musty picked up by the Prisoner. That lettei said, " The Magistrate war, no Silsbee, and that he should be the first to stiffer." lint by whom that letter was written,Lad never been discovered. Thu Prisoner being asked what he had to say in his defence, wept bitterly, and in a low voice %Well could only be heard by .the gaoler, stated that this confession had been extorted from him under a threat from some person, that if he did not confess the crime or say who did it, he should be scalded to death, and that it was Hader an impression of Fear that he had confessed. The Magistrates being examined whether any such disci°. sure of threat was made at the time of his connaitment, corn. pletely neratived that statement. The Prisoner was f I Guilty; but on acesatat of his youth, recommended by the Jury• to mercy. YORK. SEDUCTION.—It SATTERTHW A ITE. This action was brought by the Plaintiff to recover damages for the seduction of his daughter. Ssarlett opened the case for the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff -was a wheelwright, an industrious man, with a family of nine children ; the young woman who had been seduced was 23 years of age, and was the eldest of seven daughters. The De fendant was a mobster iu good business, a widower, and 37 years of age. It would be proved in e.ideace, that he had paid his addi csscs to.the young woman, and, as he professed honour able intentions, wus permitted by her father to visit her; but -he proved himself unworthy of that confidence ; and the young woman hail nufortimately permitted him to enjoy all the privi leges of a husband without being entitled to them by law. In actions like the present, Mr. Scarlett observed, it was usually necessary to call the injured female as a willies ; but he was instils: tall that he should be able to prove his case without the necessity el producing her testimony. Ile would, how ever, place her in the box; the Jury would observe the modes ty of her demeanour and deportment; and his friend, Mr. Ser jeant Hullock, would have the opportunity of putting any questions he might thisk pavr. The Jury might give such liamages as would be some compensation for the wounded feel ings of her father. Hannah Revel, the sister of the unfortonate young woman, Alas called, and proved that the Defeatlaut Sattertlistaite paid his addresses to her sister; that hex sister bad a chi' 1, of which he was the reputed father ; and that he had afterwards •isited her, *ad proposed to get the Imanspublishrd. A lientlemaii 401 the name of lioldswords, tin attorney, but not the Plaintiff's attorney, stated, that the Piahrtiff had main. tamed a large family reputably ; and that the Defendant was a man of some property, and a pretty good business. Mr. Sri;eant ifullock addressed the Jury iu extenuation of the conduct alibi client, and iu mitigation of damages. Mr. Baron Wood, in ;addressing the Jury, said, that the Plain tiff was clearly entitled to their verdict ; the only question was, as to the amount of the damages. The Plaintiff was a must in tumble eireamstances, but not the less.eutitled to the , protection of the law. 'the , injuiy done was a very.seriiitis 011 e lie was deprived of the attesiti•ni , and as‘istanee of his clauglitt r ; she wai hls rifted daughter, and he hail a large family ; a disgrace avas brought on the family; avid he thus be deprived of the opportisuity of conneernig his other daughters in suitauic roarriages.

On the best reconnoi , sanee that could be mesh Witisentglate titularly calling the attention of the enemy to our movement*, it appeared that a strong poiet, within abont 1108lerrla of the stockade I mentioned, had been neglected. Tins stockade runs upon the range and to the westward of.Hurryberrpore Fort, supposed to be about lotto yards from it, in Corea of a semicircle, and the mountain nearly perpendicular to theta* tremities, two gnus in it, and in all respects tininidalde. As the occupation of this neglected point appeared to be of great moment, it was advisable to take it bytturprile : 1 con seleently ordered the light infantry companies of the brigade; with two companies ofeach of the following regiments viz.: his Majesty's ltti, 18th Native Infant r y, Chumpannatliht billintry, and o n e company (W the td battalion 21st Native es , giment, with two 3-pounders, carried by bearers, to march at three o'clock yesterday morning, under the commaud of Lieut.- Colonel O'Halloran. who took possession of the polihea a that mitimes before six, dislodging a pkgs.! left ter its ptotection. The enemy, in very considerable force, made a moot desperate and obstinate attack to recover ehiX•point; I was *engem. obliged to senda few -companies to suppocitherearof•the rp anion which was threatinied.., It was impossible, front the natcre of the ground, to close or use the bayonet, and the emsketrycontinued without interrup tion until half-put IL o'clock, when the arrival of two six :pounders, and two five and a Daft-in, h howitzers on ele,phants,- in a few minuteedecided the affair, and lefens In possession -of au almest natural retidubt, very advantageously situated tier further operations.
