The total amount of goods furnished to the plaintiff was shout :300/. It was in consequence of these fuels com ing to the knowledge of the parties, they had resorted to the mode described of regaining their pyrperty.

(Prom the Taunton Courier). —On Saturday last, Ma. Plo• d. the young man in custody on the charze of having etym. mined this dreadful deed, was again brought up for examination at the Green Drerron, Coombe St. ;Nicht. las. W. Henning, Esq., Colonel Raban, Rev. Di. Pal mer, Rev. Mr. Feting, Sir W. Pole, B•rt., 14. Henley, Esq., Colonel Fortesene, and W. Speke, Es+ were re sent. After several witnesses were. examined, Mr. Him- Meg observed, that from the number of witnesses re maining, and from the obligation on the Magistrates to attend the assizes, it would be impossil.le to resut-ve the examination, until next Monday, when the assizes will have closed. Mr. Cox, solicitor, of Honiton, attended for the prisoner, and was permitted by the Magistrates to cross-examine the witnesses—an unusual concession, and strongly demonstrative of the solicitude of the At givratcs that full justice should be rendered the urrtelie rd prisoner. Tke examination is likely to occupy se‘e ral days, there heing upwards of forty witnesses. The labours of the Magistrates. and the concurrent aid af j ferded them by the Committee, have been most extols j platy ; and it is confidently expected, that their highly commendable exertions will be the mews of bringing to light every circumstance relating to this diabultcal deed. A singular event has °centred in connexlon with this terrible catastrophe. A poor woman who lives in a ea ! tape about 300 yards from the spot where the gorier was committed, it.:d who is supposed to know somethibr, concerning it, is gone nut of her mind, and is in con•e• quence sent to the Madhouse, at Fivebead. it is bell, 0.. txl that she saw the murder coming from the spot, but , r some reason, yet unexplained, was iodated to conceal the knowledge of this fact.
