Stf ‘W 0 . envvr.t. Mr. (1 a ILIUM Stated 'hit to be an action for an assault also, hilt of a more aggravated nature than the two which preceded it. The Plaintiff was a greets-grocer, residing in the neighbourhood of Wissitmfft.streef, Tottenham-court-road. The DeMsdaut Cate to the Plaintltrs house, and made •a great distarbaocc there, and inflicted sot his per. son *severe injnry. The Defendant followed a person of the Dame of Barton into the Plaintiff's halite, alfrging, that the bundle which Borten had mulch' his *On, teas stolen by him ; whereas the, bond,* teal made up of a parcel of books, which 110i10.% had that day bonght and paid for, and offeriif to shoe the bill of parcels; bat that wools! not do, thn 4 Defendint was debwmined on fighting someloridy ; declare:lbis readiness to fight all who were in the hosts,: ; Burton having passed the Do. fessepsnt anti ast•olter in the street ; thought by the/ i look that they *anted to rob him, as they folitiwkl him; his tan into this house for protect.

There was, therefore, no pretence for this . iiuteisce, and the Jury would make the Defintdarit pay for it ; the only question would b , what Should be the amount of the damages in this case. William Shaw, the Plaintiff's father, said, ho live.l in his son's house, that between seven and eight o'clock in the evening of the Rd of Nov. last, he saw a parson of the name of Burton come into the house, while he. the witness, was sitting quietly by the fireside, with the family ainusing themselves: suddenly they beent a vio lent rush of si erson lute the shop. Toe Plaintiff went to the door, and demanded the muse of it ; .mother rti%heil in after him; the man whip came bust, plice.l his back to the counter, the Plain tiff asked him what he wanted, he said that he wet ptirued by two men, whion, he r,f , were going to rob him, on which th: Plaintiff turned room!, and the second man who casts in said, 66 D—n your eyes—rob you, hey ?---4 say, rob yoto."—On which the Plaintiff' took this per suntra:ly by the situ) said, 66 You are both strangers to me; I know nothing of your business, go and settle it in the street, and do not disturb me in my house." He, do Defendant, ismeetli , may said, " I)-'h your house, I wilt go where I pietism ;" the Plaintiff desired him to walk out, and a scuffle ensutA ; the Defendant, with an oath, • sa l ." You shall not turn nie out, I will go 'dere I please." The Plaintiff said, 64 Is there no Catttable to he got?" On which Burton, the matt who eame in lint, went out to call " Watch!" and said he would find a Constable, on which ihe Dtfendent slut:lied the Plaintiff, and they had a tueset toother. Another came and asked 64 What was the matter?" on which the Plaintiff said, "See how he has used me in my own house; what a Mei he has given me." The witness did nut see thellits* given. Ice was in another room, but the tussal, and ha heard the blow ; he theca as loudly as he could for a Constable. q't' Dtifendont, who then wood in the passage, said, lam a Constable of •Mary-10-buene," and I pulled out his staff; on which the witness told him he was not 'then in Mary-le.honne but St. Pancras plitish: - We then stripped and asked the Plaintiff if would fight ; " D---n your eyes, will you COI ?" Ithttlisg himself in a lighting attitude ; put Mt fist tis thenitness, a feeble old man. " D.--n your eyes, are you 4ightable ; I will lick you all four, or a whole room full of you." By this tine a mob of swim a hundred people had col acted at the door, / in comsequenco of thin trio. knee sum noise. Tile Plaintiff pet his Inuid up to his eye, on which was the mark of a violent blow, and there was besides, a wooed on his heed, the blood running clown his back. The witness then west assay, being feeble and afraid. Crees-esamixed be Mr. JARVIS, be said that both Plaintirs and Defeadaak's clothes were turu its this stoat. Richard Bartow, a dealer in books, gave an a e co nsit of his having bought a parcel of- books on the day Is qoestion„ and of his passing the Difienthoft and milker Is the street. Suppeeting this they wattled to rob him, •he ran for shelter Into the Pianfirs house, whither the Defendant followed him.

This was an action fur the use and occupation of eCrtain premises in Islington, for a quarter of rar, 301. being at the rate of 1901. a year. £he MTORIIIITY-GESTILAL observed, the written agreement on which the Plaintiff claimed his relit, was either a lease or a written agreement ; if s lease, it had not the right stamp, it was a stamp of las. and should be 30s. and therefore void as a lease. If it was an agreement, it was not bind. jog . un the Defendant. [surd ELLEIDOItOUGM held it to be a lease, with the wrong atansp on which the Plaintiff was non. knited. • I•Mr. GAUROW ObINTIOd, it was singular onoug,h that it was stamped this very morning, and the party might as well have paid for the right stamp to save. s nonseit, which would cost him k good deal more than the difference between the two stamps. However, if parties would he pareksa, it was their• own faalt, and must beer their own expance. .Z,VV!P T N ,-•rab,.1..- 40... a.. 81.• _ t Filif4t, l e i fitisaiiax: • r A den lime tame, * lady took ■p her residence at a resist:Uhl, inn in Birmingham, professing her. intention of quitting ii in a few days, as she was ,going to pay a visit to the Earl of Warwick, and to her friend, the Right lion. the Earl of Craven. Her acquaintance with the great was well sup ported by the Noble Personages whom she ranked In the list of correspondents, among whom were his Grace the Duke of Portland and Sir Sidney Smith. She stated that her husband (now afar ! no more 0 had been surgeon un board the gal lant Sir Sidney's ship ; and her correspondence with our naval hero commenced by his addressing letters to her . from Rio Janeiro. The lady tap. peared from her dialect to be a native of Scut land, and several gentlemen from that country, residents hi the town, waited upon her, and were greatly planed with her conversation, which was far superior to that of the vulgar ; and she also appeared to be seqvaieted, not only with their friends and relations, but also wish must of the principal characters in Scotland. The punctua lity with which for the first day or two she dis. charged her reckoning with her landlord, lulled his sespitions, and her demeanour was calculated to inspire confidence; at length, however, Irer conduct changed; to make up far the deficiency of her wardrobe, she adorned herself with an lelegant sash left at the house, by a gentleman on the recruiting seiviee, and some ietters passed be. twoen her and a sun of Mars which were not cal culated to render her stay at the inn at all desir. able to its Proprietor.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Friday, Dee. 1. SlT'll NOS ATTER TERM ETTORE LORD cMIEV JUSTICE MANSFIELD, WESTMINSTER. DRAY V. DUSII. This was an actin.' to recover forty-five guineas, the value of a hors?, sold by the Plaintiff to the Defendant. The plea for non-payment, on the part of the Defendant was, that in eight days after he bought the horse it went blind. It could not be proved, however, that the Plaintiff had warranted the animal wind, and, of course, a verdict was given in his favour fur the price of the horse. DRAY V. MOLDSWORTV• This was an action brought by the,Plaintiff s .N 1 the last cause, against Mr. Ifoldsworth, late a partner in the firm conducting the London Ta vern, for 30 guineas, the value of a horse pur chased by the Defendant, who, it appeared, is a clerk in the house of Mr. Cock, in Dirchin-lanei and is a young man of modern dash and fashion, and like many of the city bucks, keeps his tan dem, three horses, and a groom. It was proved by the servant of the Plaintiff that the Defendant had applied to his master to purchase a•linrse to match a grey which he drove in his tandem, and that the animal which formed the ground of the presentaction, wnisent fur his ap proval to the house of Gulley, of bruising cele brity, in Carey-street, Lincelies-Inn Fields, where the Defendant was taking lessons in 'the ye litc and elegant art of boxing. Osi seeing the horse, he, and some of hi% friends, tried and ap proved of it ; but having kept it in his possession for three days, during which time he mete a fur. Cher trial, lie returned it to the Plaintiff, saying, 'hat it required too 11)11C h of the whip to answer his purpose. The Plaintiff therefore brought his action on the ground of the Defendaut haring duly purehased the horse. Mr. Serjeant BEST, for the defence, called the father of the Defendant, who proved that Isis son was but nineteen years of age, and was pursuing a greet in opposition to his wishes, anti likely to let initiate in his ultimate destruction. Ile seemed much cted, and regretted in the strongest terms the blind and unthinking profligacy of his sun. Sir J. M.imsrmo observed, that the Plaintiff should have olaile the proper inquiries before he gave 'credit to the Defendant, who, he must have known, could not, from the naturo of his em ployment, afford to keep three horses. The. Plaintiff was tionsuited on Ike ground Of the Defendant being an infant. COCKPIT, WHITEHALL. Before the Most Noble and Right Honourable the Lords Coumissioners of Appeal in Prize Cakist.s.

Captain William Le Poer Trench, commanding the Sea Fencibles, directing him to give notice of dig. charge to the gun.boals on that coast duty. We understand that similar orders bare been forward. ed to every other Commander in the different ports of Ireland ; and that the gun-boats are to pro ceed to the nestrest ordninee depot in order to de. liver up their stores.--[Comusaght.Jourstal.] ART OF PRINTING. Soon after the art of printing was discovered, learned men took a pride in being correctors of the press to eminent printers. Men in all the learned professions crowded to tho press, and vied with one another in the.correctuess of the editions which they published. To recommend their books, the printers usually annexed the name of the cur rector of the press, and editions were held in esti. maliuu according to his supposed tibilities. Robert Stephens, one of the early printers, ex celled in the correctness of his editions. It was his ambition to render his works immaculate ; and witlt-a view to this, ilisis.said that he hung up proofs fur the inspection of the public, and offered rewards to those who should discover any typo graphical errors. Plauties, though a man of letters, is yet more distinguished as a printer. Ills printing-ciflice is said to have been one of the wonders of Europe. The building was exceedingly magnificent, and has the chief ornament of the city of Antwerp. Out wardly the eye was aStOttkiiiii at the splendour of the edifice ; and within, nut less by the prodigious numbs of pres.es, characters /at all [Lore, and sizes without number, nistrizes to cast-letters, and all other printing materials, beyond calculcion ; the valet/ of the concern, Barnet ideates us, was itamense.

The truth of that anecdote is, however, pertly questioned in a Morning Paper of Saturday, paragraph, apparently proceeding from some in. discreet friend of her Ladyship's.

Every syllable ii correctly tree. We admit, with the Paragraphist, that the Dowager Countess of K Is tub liberal and hospitable to refine admission to her 'bt•Jutiful cottage, if properly requested-Iml, whets a dry imperative note is.oddressed, not to herself, but to her servant, in terms almost of ownership, from a person inferior to her Ladyship its rank, years, and fortune, and who was previously not upon the most cordial terns with her, was nut a mere check to be nakif ,Ily expected The cease is tp be found solely in the improper mode its hic . .li admittance was attempted. • As for the general esteem and regard which the Paragraphist attributes to Lady C.ln that county, our Correspondent, not being malicious, clie , ,ses to be silent upon that held. The ignorance of tho Paragraphist is, however, pretty palpable Ita speaking of the Cottage as Lady C--'s when it is notoriously, and has been fur many genera. Lions, the property of the K—„family.
