Mr. Souctron-Otweaar., for the Crown, eonteeded that custom was no plea fora fair; the party who Waist. a a right to bold it mut rely on a grant,Ond though it might not be necessary to praises the grant, yet he mut ' show such a prescription as would induce the jury to presume it. In the present ease, however. not eves a custom was shown for a fair, which was an institstion for the purposes of commerce, sad not merely for shows and the sale of toys. . t • Mr. Justice Bear. who, eat is the early part of the day for the Lord Chief Justice, ieterrepted the Learned SOlieitor, and told loins that he thought it was not neces sary for him to proceed farther, for is his view there was no evidence whatsoever to sustain the defendant's ease. A fair could be evidenced only by prescription; it must have its proper officers; it most be established rind pally far the purposes of commerce, sad not for mere recreation and pleasure, though he was far from wishing to deny these to the commas p eo pl e .— fie could not perceive that the fair at Edmonton bad been shown to hear any of these characteristics, and if the jury were of the same opinion, it would be unneces sary to hear the counsel for the Crown. The jury said they were. Quite satisfied, and imme diately found a verdict for the Crown. afar v. !MOWN. This action was bronglit by Mr. gay, late vestry-clerk of the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green. against Mr. Brown, a dissenting preacher of that parish, for libels and slanderous words. The defendant pleaded that lie was not guilty, and also that the subject matters of the libels and the slanders were true. The publication aril language in question arose out of th‘: disputes which have long divided the parish of Beth nal-green, and in which both the parties hare been ac t!%e. It will be remembered, that some years ago two prosecutions were instituted against Mr. Merceron, a Magistrate, who had long exercised great influence in parish of Betlinal.gfeen, one fur having clandestinely icserted in his accounts, as treasurer of the poor.rate, the of 9251. Is.3d. with intent to defraud the parishioners, . tr.i the other for havinz corruptly concurred as a Ma g:strate in relicettiing Certain public-houses in the parish, 1:s own property, though he well knew them to be ins properly conducted. On both these prosecutions be was convicted, chiefly on the evidence of Mr. May, the plain tiff, and sentenced by the Court of King's Bench to im - ptisonmeni and fine. After this result 11.4 bees obtained, considerable difference arose respecting the payment of the costs of the prosecutions , which had been originally commenced by individuals, and afterwards sanctioned by the parish ; but at length a vote of the vestry. obtained after much clainonr, directed that the costs of the pro secution respecting the poor•rate, amounting to 313/. l'Js. 3d. should be paid out of the poor -rates, and that these of the indictment for misconduct .as a magistrate, amounting to 3141. 35.. should be phi out of the fines received from those who had refused to serve parochial ot . s..ces. Disputes continued, and a committee was ap . rutted to inquire into the accounts, who reported that the sum which ought to have been paid was only 5031. 2i. 7d. the surplus having been improperly introduced with the cniciirrence of the plaintiff. An article' pur porting to contain the substance of this report, and ex fressed in language strongly reflecting on Mr. Mai', was irseard in a newspaper, called The Sunday Monitor. of April?, IS2O. A violent attack on him, called a state r:cot of facts." was also circulated by Mr. Brown, who was also proved to have verbally used terms derogatory to the plaintiff s character. Mr. St:A/MITT, for the plaintiff, in anticipation of the d e l, whines attempt to justify, adduced evidence to show! tt at the:introduction of the sum objected to was bona /id? ; that the money had been expended on the prosecu liens, though previous to the time whea they received the sanc'ions of the vestry; that the whole was fully and f.i:ly submitted to the parishioners, and the disburse rents made under their approval. Mr. SOLICITOR GEN mar., for the defendant, first of fered in evidence a number of placards, what the plaintiff ha-1 assisted to distribute, reflecting on the character of the defendant, and others of his party. These, however, were held inadmissible : but the general statement of a witness, tl:at libels had been published ou both sides, was received. The learned solicitor then proceeded with evi ell:ice in support of his justification, into a length of de tail through which it is impossible to follow him. The jury retired for three quarters of an hour, and then found a verdict for the plaintiff—Darnages, 1001. • The trial lasted till one o'clock in the morning. COURT ON SESSION, EDINBURGH.

TheJ.tufges severally delivered their opinions, and pro nounced a nnanimous juslgmere, finding that the present sum of IO)1. per annum, allowed by the honourable opu. lent defender was inadequate fct the support of his son in that rank to which his birth and prospects entitled him ; and the Court ordained the honourable defender to give in a condescendence of the amount of his income, that a suitable aliment may be awarded to the pursuer. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY. MONDAY, Awn 30. A most remarkable case of assault, alleged to hare been eorinittert °p.m a dumb female, this dad• came on to be tried. The Court. however, was tot open to the public amiss ; any part of the proceedioge. The -name of the 'ceased vas 4. Marna. 'f heprisoner pleaded—Not Guilty, and a Jur was impaoelled. .After proceeding with the examination of several wit messes, the case was given rip by the Counsel for the Crown. TbeJary afterwards returned a verdict of Not Guilty. 'the Ilaralborgh Star promises to endear onr to prepare, for a intore number, a full and accurate report of the le, gal arguments In this curious cue. ' The following is exhibited in a respectable looking ',lig shop, in Cirendiab•streer.

The facts of the ease were tiese:—The defendant, who is a shoemaker, took a room, with a door opening into an alley sed'Acempied it art a shop, agreeing to pay *fixed rent, the landlonifelsgaging to be responsible for taxes, poor rates, or any other charge whatever. The defendant did Sot sieves this room, frees which a glass door that was kept cleeed.*Coold be opened into the room occupied by the landlord, who occupied the rest of the Loom The defendant merely kept this'll-earn as a shopitsnd bad no eeriest living in it, sod oo one to sleep there. The over seers of the poor, however, considered it as a distinct te neinett, and rated It for •poor-rates, alleging that the doer which communicated with the rest of the house ISO is kept closed, med• k asee pantte tenement; that the defendant liy: living there, gained a settlement, as woaM say apprentace.he might choose to take, or any serrate he might hire, and lastly, that the argument with the: landlord *as a mere evasion; or might be so, on the part of the defendant,. to avoid the liability to serve parish offices. The Loan MATOR considered the question of ss great importance in the city. If the room were declared liable, there was not an office nor even an 'pertinent in a coffee house taker" by the week, for businesi or otherwise, that might not be declared a separate tenement, rateable for poor-rates ; nor en occupant that might cot be called upon to serve parochial offices. Hs did not see that it made any difference to the parish, whether a given MR were received as poor-rates wholly from the landlord, or partly from him and partly from the person who held the room nor would it alter the question whether the latter were liable or not. The parish officers said, the question was of g; b est im portance, as it involved the question of the liabity of all the occupants of such places to serve parish offices, and the greatrst abuses were to be apprehended from any ad mission that such places were not liable. The LORD MAYOR consulted the City Solicitor upon the question. The latter declared it was a point of great nicety and importance, which had never vet been decided, and on which be entertained doubts. Time Lord Mayor, under those circumstances, refused to grant a warrant of distress to the parish of f icers. The officers ekpiessed their determination to get the question settled, by applying to the Court of King's Bench for a mandamus to compel his Lordship to issue the warrant. decently-dressed women, labour• eras' wives apparently, named Rory Kelly, Elizabeth Brooke, and Catherine Tank*, were brought up yester day before the sitting Alderman, Sir It. C. Gays, charged with shop-lifting. About seven o'clock on Thursday evening, Kelly and Brookes went into the shop of Mr. Gibbs, shoemaker in the Old Bailey, obviously In company together; the for mer desired-to be fitted with a pair of alines, anti while Mr. Gibbs was attending upon her, her companion was amusing herself (with admiring the goods in the window, anti, unobserved, as she thought, secreted a couple of Pair in a handerchief she bad wiiii her, carefully spread ing the other shoes in the window, so as to fill up the vacancy the theft bad occasion,d. She sauntered about, the door, till Kelly, who could not agree with Gibbs as to the price of a pair of shoes, ffillowed her, and they. walked off together, without any suspicion on the part of Gibbs that he had lost any thing but a customer. Never was a shop-lifting trick more dexterously or completely effected. IV hat all the carefullness of Gibbs could neither prevent or observe, the carelessness of a neighbour de tected for him. John Aroot, a two-pair of stairs lodger at the house opposite, at work, as be said, at his window, but, fortunately for Gibbs, not very perseveringly, saw from on high the whole of Mrs. Brooks's proceedings, and hastened dowo to give Mr. Gibbs information. The prisoners were, however, by this time out of sight. Mr. Gibbs and his son went immediately in pursuit in differ ent directions, and on Ludgate-hill the latter got sight of the prisoners, who were there joined by the third woman, Taman, to whom he observed Brooks deliver some thing, bat what he could not distinctly see. Desirous of taking the whole tbree,and'awareot the difficulty of doing th at, as be was alone, he watched them for a short time. Kelly and Brooks went into Messrs. Clow and Cummins's haberdashers, Ludgate-street, and remained there a little while looking at some ribands. On coming. out of the shop they rejoined Tinian, and the whole party proceed ed slowly down Ludgate-hill. Young Gibbs embraced this opportunity to run home for assistance ; his brother joined him, a n d perceiving the women about to separate at the end of Fleet-market, they seized 'Fenian, suppos ing her to have the property on her, and her compamittis on the first alarm ran off, and for that trine made their escape.Tanian was taken back to the shop, where she pro. duced one pair of the shoes, but protested her innocence of all knowledge of their being stolen, begged for the sake of her large family that they would not lock her up, and in the hope of andecing lulu to hersrlf, tolsl where her two companions lodged, viz., Saffron-hill.— Thither Shepherd, an officer who bad been sent for, im mediately proceeded, and secured l:elly and Brooks, who had arrived only a few minutes before him. On Kelly he found the other pair of shoes, and on Brooks several ions of tiband, the successful produce, rib doubt, of the short call at Messrs. Clow and Cummins's. The shoes were produced, and identified by M r. Gibbs, and the case being thus complete, it was thought unnecessary to en ter at all into the robbery as to the ribands. Kitty Tanian, in a fine Irish brogue, protested she wan as innocent as an angel ; and Airs. Brooks and Mrs. Kel ly, with similar vehemence, ran on with a long rhodomon tade story, which had no reference at all to the circum stances, taking care, however, to avoid admitting or de nying the facts charged against them; and the Alder: man committed Brooks and Kelly !or the felony, and Tagian for receiving the property knowing it to have been stolen. " Long life to your Honour," exclaimed Kitty Tanian,, on hearing this decision, evidently mis taking it for a discharge with respect to her ; and she exhibited muck surprise when the officer took het from the bar to be locked op.

Au information was laid by Mr. Bygrave; and other respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood, against C. Shard Esq. Lord of the Manor of llrydenborst. lii which Peckam parish lies, against W. Law, Esq. occu pier of the land, on which the fair is held. against E. Whitton, Esq. Lord of the Manor of, Camberwell; and other gentlemen who had an interest to the land. Mr. BOLLANII and Mr. PLATT were for the defendants: Evidence was given to prove that Abe fairs were °miasm ata, and the witnesses were of opinitin that there was no chatter or other lawful authority for holding the same. Mr. BoALAren supported the right of the Clunberwell defendants from Doomsday-book. and Manning's book, which spoke of the custom of holding the faint. He pro. dated papers, dated 1718, specifying the tolls of the lair, and papera without date, evotalning a list of the persons who paid for stn togs.—He had dneaments, proving that monies bad ken received id 1715, 16, an 17. for situations in Camberwell fair, and that North-fielol, where Peckham fair was held, was in the parish of Cam- Wheel!. He also produced a paper, dated 24th May; 1720, assigning over the Manor or Camberwell/ With the fairs and tolls thereon, npon the Marriage of Joanne Cock. The Learned Counsel likewise predated the deed of conveyance to Mr. Whittdo, the present Lard of the , Manor; dated 1812. Having argued upon the written evidence Mr. &Aland called witnesses. One of these, a man, SI years old. stilted that he re sided in Camberwell from the year 1763, and remem bered that an animal fair was held there of three days continuance ; the 2(1. a foot was paid for stAnding, but that as soon as the green was broken in upon, 3d. a foot was charged, and that since 1814, the price bad been raised to 4d., 5d., and od. a foot on the green. Peckham fair was argued to be a continuatita of Camberwell fair, and not a distinct fair. Mr. Ca AMleas said, he could perceive nothing is the documents proving that the Ales were held by charter, or, as the words of the Act went, " by any other Jawful authority." He therefore found himself bound to de cide against the defendants. The parties then intimated their intention to apply to the Court of King's Bench, and entered into the neces sary recognizances to appear on the hist day of term, to answer any information in the naiute of a quo war rant°, MEd) the Attorney and Solicitor-tieneral might exhibit against them, touching their ,right And title to such tilts, and to abide the judgmenpif the Court thereon. • a.

The contact was so tremendously sudden -and unexpect ed, that Mr. Thomas It. Swap, a passenger, travelling for the firm of Messrs. M. Deacon, Sons, and Ellis, No. 3, Cateaton-street, London, who was sitting on the Hi bernia's deck, in a chair abreast the poop, had not time to get out of the way, and was crushed to death between the cntwater of the St. Patrick, and poop of the former •, a seamen was at the same time xnuob injared in the neck by one of the iron stays. rt coroner's inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate young man, who deli vered a verdict of " accidental death. it appeats he was a pions character, and a member of the Wesleyan connection; his mortal and mangled remains were in terred in Staynton church-yard on Sunday evening, and as attended to the church (about two miles from hence) by a great number of the most respectable inhabitants.

Proper assistance was procured, and she was delivered ofa female infant. James Kelly, a carpenter, living near the spot, came to his door to inquire what the matter was, and bring informed, he took both her and her child in, and prepared a bed for her, whilst his wife rendered them all the assistance she could. The woman stated, that she only arrived the preceding evening in town, from Ireland, to her husband, who sent for her to St. Giles's, but having lost his address, she was unable to find, hint out—his name was Patrick Lynch, a labourer.

At Maidstone Fair on Friday se'unight there was a considerable quantity of horses, chiefly of the 1/aLC kind ; good riders were in great demand, but of these there were scarcely any in the fair. Few purchases were made, and What were effected were at high prices. There were a middling supply of lean stock, as also of sheep and .lambs, but the sale was exceedingly dull. Llandilo fair,on Saturday fart. was supplied with an uncommon number of cattle, the shoW of which was. so considerable as to extend a greater length than has ['eve seen for rogue years.

THE SEASON. The slq above our heads is clear and beautiful; but still there is a great lack of genuine warmth, and %% Rhin the last few days, we have been assailed by our old enemy the cast wind. The Almanack and the Thermometer tell different tales, and the highest range of the glass is still consideribly below the genial heat of summer. Ou Wednesday we had a shower of large bails.oers. The weather was rather frosty at Glasgow, so recently as Monday last. The crops in this neig hbourhood, not withstanding, are looking well, and several fields of wheat are now in the ear. A considerable quantity of rain fell on Friday after noon, which will prove of t h e most beneficial conse. (peaces to all the crops.—When the , rain began to fall. there were some peals Of-thunder in the south-east, but they were faintly heard. The weather at Glasgow last week was fine and clear ; but the wind was ungenial, and the thermometer in the shade never reached the proper height for summer. The crops, however, have made great progress, and in gene ral very promising. The wheat is every where good. The beans are coming into bloom. The peas are fresh, but somewhat late. Oats, for the most part, look ex tremely well ; though on cold, wet, or very poor soils, the appearance hitherto is much inferior to last year. Grass is very good, and the crops of hay will be heavy.— Ii (Edin. Star. July 1. GLASGOW, JUNS reen Peas sell in Glasgow mar ket, at Bs. a peck.
