They returned 'some smog, which he could not Understand, and before he had 'time to descend to make further enquiries, one of the lower' windows iris 'forced with an iron crow, and in a moment the house was filled with strange men.— The scene of outrage and violence which ensued ceeded any accurate description. They proceeded to gut the house of every article of property, sclie. ther moveable or fiature. Finding 'their way to Mrs. ilughits's room, they insisted, with a feeW ing of barbarity and inhumanity, scarcely to he' credited, that the • wretched old woman should' get up and surrender the bed on which she lap, to their merciless gripe. With difficulty the pooi creature was got up and dressed by her grand daughters, and os soon as she could get out of the way, the bed was takeitt.down, and carried nut with the other property. lathe ciiurse of a few hours the house was cleated, not only of the furniture, but of grates, stoves, coppers, and all the fieturei,loilitng the miserable owner labouring under the dreedfil . malady already mentioned, and her three 'grand. children, without a bed to sleep on,a chair to sit on, or a single article of furniture. Not content with taking the furniture, they added to the ontragis by taking away the greater part of the weariog apparel, of Mrs. Hughes stud her family. The manner in . . , whiche the properly was taken out of the housetwas characterised by the' most wanton and unfeeling cruelty ; they vild"not simply remove the fusuiture, with an intention, as it should seem, of preserving it, with a view to advantage themselves or any other person', fur Whose benefit they might be supposed to att. literal articles were flong'out . of the windows, Others . were'huiled down stain', aad, in short, the wlsole'scene was conducted with ill the savage Fero city of air invading enemy—sieklug and devastating all before them. Not satisfied with plundering the' furniture, 'they proceeded Ito' the cellars, in' which there 'weg'a - conaideribleqeiriiity 'or beer, and kilted pork.

The* pe'W. dering-tubs in which the pork had been, shared the same' fate—their contents were divided amongst the spoliators, and the vessels themielves carried off. The children atteisited to save a few articles' of arockaii ware, bit were prerrenfed by the asiailantr, - _ ,who retie!) , waited theist, .toroli away the articles . by Force and broke . thews on the floor.

Of humanity: It . might be necessary to inform the y Jury of the character and description of the persons now before them. The Defendant, Themes Luck, resided in Lock's-fieldi, Walworth, ind he believ..., ' ed, obtained*his livelihood as an h ired bail ; the De. lendant, Thomas Leek, was a servant in the ents ployment of Mr:Wells,thesuetintaeer, of Long-acre; and William Jones was a jobbing' brOlfer. Of the other Defendant; he could say nothing, he they were not now before the Court. if the fatte'erhich he had, stated were substantiated in evidence, the Jory heel . but one duty to perform, namely, to find . the De-, tendon , * guilty, and the Learned Judge would deal with them accnitlitiglo the justice of the case. Thomas Garner Richmond,. grandson of Hughes, was examined, and he proved in detail the. 'farts stated by the Learned Serjeant. ' On his cross-examination by Mr. NOLAN. for the Dervadatits, he said thit the house ice which hie grandmother resided was not the property of his fa ther, nor was any of the furniture or farming sten ails. He did. not know from any of his family that , the house belonged to his father. His father did not reside there, but came occasionally to superintend the farm for his grandmother. His father was there . sometimes a month or six weeks'at a time. His mo ther was chiefly there. Witness at the time of this .transaction was '2O years of age;' he superintended his grandmother's farm, having been brought up to the farming business in Yorkshire. His father was not there every sleek. lie was sometimes away for a month. Mrs. Hughes found the money for•carry. jog on th e f ar m. lie used to show his father the ac counts to look over. The family were maintained out of the profits of the farm. When the Defend ants came on the 15th of August, they did not de mand quiet possession of the house. Tbey showed nu authority but broke open the house with an iron crow. WRY positive that the three Defendants were there, and took an active part in the business. Mr. Well;, the 'auctioneer, was there, hut witness did not hear him giving orderi to the other men what they , were to do. Mr. Se , jeant Oxsiow said, he had the evitlence of Mrs. Ilugheb's other grand-children to confirm the statement of this witness, and he had also the pro. reedini in the Court of Chancery end the record of . the Common Pleas, establishing M rs.• Hughes's right• to the property in question. Mr. Justice ABBOT thought the latter head oft evidence unnecessary, as it was for the Defendants to show that they had acted lawfully. As to . thos calling other witnesses, the Learned Serjeatit win* exercise his own discretion. Vevjeatit OrrsLow said, he should leer rlilit nett ti here it was, and call on more witnesselt.' • Mr. l OLA* then addressed the Jury a t some lingth's d'teith considerable ability sod iirgeneily sant i tlie put r i d *.the Defendants.

The'' Jury isaisietailfrly found the Defendieta--.• Guiff*. • ' Mr. Justice in passing-sentence upon the Defendants,' animadverted upon their conduct strong language of reprobation. They had been found guilty by a Jary of their country pf an offence which was extremely dangerous to the well.beirig of society—an offence as serious to the subject as could welt he committed by persons acting under the colour of lawful authority, namely, that of breaking open by armed force the deeding-house of a- peaceable, helpless, and unoffendidttfemale, Without, in fact, the shadow of authority. ..Vernon's 'exercising even the lawful authOrityOn carrrying lute effect the pro cess of the la*, were to be taught to feel that they were to do their I rititfr with decency, temper, and hu manity—they were not to aggravate the miseries of those who might be unfortunately subjectld • to the extremities of the law. by mixing up with their ne cessary duty, any wanton cruelty, unprovoked in sult, or personal malignity. The sentence of the Court was, that the Defendants should severally be imprisoned in the County Jail for six months,.. and be then discharged.
