lIIEETECGS roa REPEAL OF ASSESSED TAXES. • Lest week. in consequence of Requisitions, numerously and respectably signed, the Churchwardens of the pa 'rishes of St. James and Bathwick convened Vestry Meetings, to consider the propriety of petitioning Par liament for a repeal or an abatement of the A . Taxes, hut particularly the House and Window Taxes. The Petitions were in both instances unanimously adopt ed; and we are happy to nnde rstAnd that the parisbes of Sr. Michael and St. Peter and Paul are likewise about ti meet: a vestry meeting of the former palish is called *for Thursday next, with a view to petition not only for -the repeal of taxes on Houses and IVindows, bat also the vlaties on TrAvellers. Cle. Its, and Shopmen. We trust these examples will be ext. naively followed; for al t*augh Ministers hive annonnced their intention of re mitting " a considerable portion of the Assessed Taxes," it:may hr well for the subjects respectfully to apprise them what part of those taxes bear most oppressively upon the commeinitv.—(Reading Mercury.) We understand that at a vestry held yesterday, by the parish of St. Peter and Prul, in this city, a Petition for the reghtetion of the Assessed Taxes, especially those which relate to houses t windows, clerks, shopnien, &e. „ as agreed to; which will be inserted in onr next, and is t he sent round for general signature. The petitions on tN.• same subject from the other parishes in this city, will b' !bond in the preceding columns of this paper.—(BatA &raid) COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Feb. 17. SITTINGS 111.10 RR THS THREE PUISNIt JUDGES. WINSTONS AND ANOTHER V. LINN . This was an ation of covenant upon an indenture of Apprenticeship, whereby the defendant, in consideration ef a fee of 901. nntlertood to instruct the plaintiff's toe in the hnsinees of a tobacconist. and maintain him dur ing a period of five year.. The defendant pleaded in snbstance, that the indentures were cancelled, by reason that the apprentice had quitted his service for three days, and bad altogether refused to learn the business. The plaintiff ret lied. that true it was, his son had absented birostit from the defendant's service for three days, but that at the end of that titne he had returned thereto, but Jeendant refused to instruct him in his business. To this replication there was a demurrer, and now the ease came on for argument, in which a most important qnestion between masters and apprentices was raised, 'namely, whether a master, who had received a large up- Prentice fee from the parent of a youth, to instruct him • • In his business, shall he at liberty to consider the Wen ., .t 7 Tpre as cancelled, if in the waywardness and indiscretion irf int* the boy shall absent himself without leave • . : rettnt his master's service, and keep to himself the fee ' he .431 an received ? 7 , Mr. &LAKES, in support of the demurrer, argued the • ittfirmatiott Of this proposition. tr. CULTIT, contra, was stopped by • ' 'the COURT, who were most clearly of opinion that ▪ 'this action was maintainable spit:s%llle master for a hreaoh of covenant, in not instructing the hoc in his bu siness, holdinethat the mleco..luct of the troy, in 'h ewing himself from his master's service without leave, was not a ground for cancelling his indentures, though - at the •u•or time, the father was liable, being a con trading parry, for any damage which the master sus : tained in cons^quence of the improper conduct of his ' min They disnnguished this case from the ordinary re , Won of master and nt, where the contract was dis soluble is consequence of any misbehaviour of the ser vant. This nits the case of a covenant by deed, which wasisinding mutually on both parties, subjeetinrestele to regal ialAity fir an, breach of covenant stipois•ed. if the Court r err to hold that a single act of folly, ob stinacy, or intemperance of the youth, was a ground for d•s.olving a contract of this nature, the greatest injus tice nt:glit be worked. For instance, a master might receive 5001. as an apprentice fee with a youth, and if • . the Foy shsented himself only a day, without leave, he tenni/ be at Mosey to meel . the indentures and pocket the money. The statutes concerning apprentices were crone sufficient to prove, that it was not competent to them* themselves to cancel engagements of this sort li:canse those statute, vested Justices of the Peace with a pqwer of determining' in what cases, or for what causes the indentures shonl.l be cancelled. • Un elkseXtounds, therefore, judgment was givenfor the plaintiffs. - • Aswan:sr V.

On a special case stated, the sub stanhal question was, whether a person letting out horses fur the. pleasure an I recreation of the riders, is liable to the Post Horse Mileage Duty in respect of such horses, though they be regularly entered in his license to let post hotness? The yo;nt immediately brought before the Cuazt was, whether borses so lot could he considered a' horse; let for travelling within the meaning of the Statutes 25 Oco. 111. c. 51.. 44 Gs°. 111. c. 98. and 1 Oeo. 1% 1 ;e. 88.

The defendants were either the assignees of Mt. Ryles or his creditors, interested in making the assets of his e.tate as great as possible, and diminishing his deb s in the game degree. Mr. Ryles had, by lying ib 'rigors, committed alt act of bankruptcy. and thus beeome liable to she operation of the bankrupt laws.

Witness bail seen him at liberty after the commission issued against hits', but be thought these admissions were made before the arrest, though no precise balance was then struck. Wit ness never learned from Latham and Parry, that they hat receiver! from Bytes, a commission of one per cent. upon their advances, besides the legal interest. IVitness only knew their business by Byles's books, which wet . . in Court. His bookkeeper was dead ;be h ad been examine in the action in the King's Bench. All the bills now shown to witness were in the handwriting of Pyles, either as acceptor or endorser. lie did not hear Bytes say that the bill for 10,0001., had been given without consideration. James Lowe said that he had found all the hills, ex cept that for 10,0001, in the desk of Latham and Parry. That Bill was given to witness by Mr. De Tastet Byles, before his arrest, came to witness's office, and requested time for payment of the debt due on these bills, for which the witness was employed to arrest him. He wished to carry on his contract himself. Cioss-examined.—He was arrested in February at the snit of De Tastet and Sotilla, the assignees of. Latham and Parry. Witness bad a balance struck *Per Byles's bankruptcy, to make out the particulars of plaintiff s de mand. Ryles said that his debt to Latham and Parry had arisen on advises made by them to him. He did rut state that they were to receive one per cent. on the sup plies furnished under the contracts with Government, be sides 5 per cent. interest. When Bytes came to witness to get time, he expressed a wish that if he were arrested he might he able to carry on his contracts. That was the plaintiffs' case. Mr. Sergeant Laws, for the defendants, informed the jury that he should be able to clearly prove that the al leged debt in quest'on was usurioosly contracted, and therefore illegal ; and there being no legal debt in ekistence, issue must be determined in the negative. Robert Levie stated that he was a merchant, and bad been connected in business with Belcher Byles, who WAS engaged by Government to supply Hoar and rice for the West Indies. This connexion lasted from 1807, to 31st of March, 1812, after which it ceased as a partnership but he continued to supply Byles with money; and at the end of the year, Bytes owed lam a debt of 20,00411. on on these supplies: he then declined to make farther ad vances. In consequence of this, Bytes applied to Latham and Parry to make advances, and he (Byles) told wit ness, in Parry's presence, that Latham and Parry bad! unoertaken to supply the advances. Witness shortly af terwards saw Parry, and asked him whether he stood in witness's shoes ? Parry said he did, and adoed that be was to receive 5/. per cent on the advances, and one per few., on the vlettialling bills, which were issued on the delivery of the supplies under the contract. Nothing was said about profit and loss. Latham and Parry made suck advaucea as Byles required. He never heard any thing more about the terms of the engagement after the first conversation. Parry subsequently told hint that he hail received the victualling bills. He never heard the amount of the advances. The first conversation Parry about the contracts was in the beginning of Octo ber, 1812. When witness ceased to be a partner, Bytes agreed to give him 5/. per cent. on the advances then doe, and one per cent. on giving up his interest in the contracts. Cross examined—Witness's debt has been disputed like this; but it has been established. The one per cent. did not relate to the advances, but to the victual] mg bills. Byles was a ship owner, and underwriter, as wrll..s a con tractor. Between Starch .and October, 1`412, the com mission on the victualling bills amounted, in witness's belief, to. Dead/ 14 1 90/. In the course of the 3 years, his advanCeslAW;raussontef toseural haylical pounds. He could not say if Bytes always employed the mosey advanced in the contracts; he might bare employed it in other business, but witness never made an advance for any other purpose than the contracts. off,ring an account in evidence, which, it be- ing objected to on the other side, tl.c I.arneti Judge declined to receive; the defendants Counsel closed their rase. Mr. Sergeant 'Patio' AN then replied, and The ',earned Judge charged the Jury, who, if.er'a few minutes' deliberation, found a verdict for the plaintiffs fur 25,000/. :MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. These gelL6ollll commenced yesterday, at the Sessions ; House, Clerkenwell, before Francis (,oast, Esq. and a full Bench of Magistrates. The Chairman observed, that the Court was likely to be occupied but a short time, there thing but few cases, and not .ine of any enormity. Georre Lord, a stage coach driver, was indicted for assaulting James Holmes, another coach driver. Mr. ArroLreva stated the case for the prosecution, from which it appeared, that the parties were drivets of opposition coaches on the &field road, and the precept assault was an instance of the many disgraceful occur rences of this kind which so frequently took place be tween rival drivers. On the 1511. of December last, II the prosecutor took up a passenger near the Waltham Turnpike, whom the defendant considered himself enti tled to, and in consequence horse-whipped the prose tutor very ly. Guilty—Fined 20s. Santee! Jacobs was indicted for having conspired with others to obtain, and obtaining under false and fraudulent pretences, from Lawrence Benvill, the sum of :R. The facts as detailed by the prosecutor were these —in the early part of January last, the prosecutor, who is'a dimple countryman, residing a short distance from the metropolis, in the service of a gentleman, came to teyn with his master's gun ; he was trudging along Whitechapel, with the gun under his arm, when the prisoner cams up to him, and shewed him a watch, which be told the prosecutor he had refused to take 14/. fasetrestiesivrotare-brefore-from a Jew abut he would let him have it for a. less sum rather then the villainous Jew should have it. The prosecutor asked the prisoner what he would sell the wstsh for? He replied that he would let the prosecutor have it for 31. and lie was sure it might be pawned for double that sum. The prose cutor was in the act of examining the watch, when a man same up to him, and whispered in his ear that he would give him a galore for his bargain if be would purchase it. The proaecator, thinking ire could get a guinea without much trouble, agreed to give N. for the watch, and he retired with the prisoner to a tavern, and from thence he went and pawned the gun, and returned and gave the prisoner V. but on locking for the man who had offered him a guinea for Isis bargain, he saw him ran away in company with the prisoner. Mr. Ilooorticx, for the prisoner, took an objection to the indictment, in which tt eras laid as the money of the prosecutor, whets in fact, he contended, that as the gun on which the money was lent ass the property of til e prosecutor's master, so the money mast also be the pro party of the master, and not of the prosecutor. The Court overruled the objection, and the prisoner, being found guilty, was sentenced to six months hapri soonbent, and to be kept to bard labour. for the purpose of get•ing into the srst door window of Mr. WebWe house, an oilman, No. 63, Fore-street. Mr. Webb had been called up by the watchman, but en exa• miming the windows no entry had been made, nor were there any marks that forcible means had been at all osed. The fellow exhibited no appearance of being drunk at the time, but said he must get up there. as there was a bag of his clothes, and if he was prevented now he should flail Venty of time to do it. When searched at the uatch-house, no implements of house breaking were found urea him, nor any thing to confirm the suspicion that he was a robber. De persiste lin his story that his clothes were there, and nothing farther could be got out of him, though he conduct d himself perfectly quietly and orderly. —Before the Magistrate, his condu.:t was equally decorous, hut still he persisted iii his story; a man had told him his hag of cltrhes were there, and lie was rlimbling op to get theni. It is perk ups needl• es to say there was nothing of the kind en the piece where he was tryin; tam get up. The account he gave of himself otherwise was collected enough; he spoke very good English, but said he was by birth a Dane ; that he came to this country a sailor, on board an American East In di ,nun, named the Levant, of Boston, that he had since been paid off on account of being sirk, awl that the Da nish Consul, to whom he had applied, had pr..mised to do something for him. As there appeared no good reason for thinking the prisoner was attempting a burglary, the Magistrates would not detain him ; but as he seemed to be without friends in this country, and his conduct, and the ciientn• stances under which he was found somewhat mysterious, the officer who lad him in charge was directrtl to take him to the Danish Consul. A Meeting is to be bell at the Mansion-honse on Thursday, to take into consideration the Act of Paella- I went which was made for the relief of I nsolvent Helvetii. None bat the most respectable Dinkers, Merchants, and Traders, are invited to attend. As truth is elicited by argument, the result, whatever it may prove, would have been more satisfactory, had some persons who might run a risk of becoming Insolvent Debtors hi ea allowed to be present. The qui sion would, in that event, receive something Ike fair play. Oo Friday, at an Excise Court, held by the Justices of the Peace at Glasgow, there came before them one of the most scandalous cases of perjury and prevarication that has ever occurred, Peter M`Millan, a labourer in Bridgegate, who was brought forward as a Crown wit ness, had, in order to disqualify himself, talked in such a way in a public hoisse the evening before, concerning the malice that he professed te bear against the defend- ant, that he thought his evidence would not be admit tee. The Court, however, dill examine bins, ',when the conspiracy and perjury n ere clearly detected. 3PMillan was instantly sent to Glasgow jail, to be kept there in solitary confinement for the space of one calendar month. CALAMITOUS FlRE.—About a quarter before two o'clock on Sunday morning a fire broke out in the rear of the Fish mongers' Alms Houses, opposite the Elephant and Castle.— The houses were first discovered by a neighbour named Col lies, who happened to be returning home from a friend's' house. He instantly alarmed Mr. Gardiner, the keeper of the building, and the bell of the chapel was tolled iu order to alarm the old persons resident in the Alms houses. It was soon found that elm of the houses which was oecupied by Mrs. Mary Weinman, aged 71, was on fire, and so rapid was the progress of the lames that all attempts to approach it were baffled. The flames extended their ravages to the next dwelling, where a woman named Powell lived, who l was in her SOth year, and who had been in the building 30' years. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Gard ier, the keeper, broke open the door, when they discovered nie roam in a body of smoke, and the feeble old woman his Fed, breathing her last, the 4seefre haeibrgefeeiand her. Nise.eru dee gged oat, but she survived only five minutes. After the flames were extin guished the body of Mrs. Ws inman nlis found burned to a cinder, lying near the fire-place on the ground floor; her Bible was lying by her side, with nearly all the leaves burnt out, and also the candlestick. It is supposed she was read ing her Bible, and that the candle must have caught her clothes, and have caused the dreadful catastrophe. Her watch, and a favourite cat, were found among the ruins.— This is the first conflagration that hes occurred in this an cient building since its erection in 1016. FM AT CAPTAIN HARDOURNICS. MILDOVIIN GRAMM.— On Saturday night last, some wicked incendiary or incendia ries set fire to an oat rick in three places, on the premises of Captain Ilarboume, at the above place, the whole of which was consumed to the ground. Fortunately, however, through the prompt and vigorous assistance of the inhabitants of Ke nilworth and its immediate neighbourhood, the flames were prevented from extending to • range of wheat ricks adjacent , though the wind sat in that direction: in this case the con flagration would have been dreadful. The fire was disco vered about eight o'clock ; and several fire engines from Coventry were on the road, but were countermanded in consequence of the flames being prevented from spreading. —(Conextry Herald.) DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—.Yesterday, Mr. Smith, the proprietor of the Three Cups Inn, Aldersgate-atree', applied to the Magistrate at the Police-office, Hatton-gar den, for the assistance of the police to proceed to Ware, in Hertfordshire, in order, if possible, to trace some de sperate ruffians, under the following circumstances:—Mr. Smith stated, that about two o'clock on Saturday morn ing, it being very dark, six men armed with pistols, tv.c. stopped the Lincoln waggon at Anneal, between Horldes don and Ware, on its way to Hertford. One of the rob bers stopped the waggon r, and presenting a pistol at his head, swore a tremendous oath that he would blow his brains out if he either attempted to move or make the least alarm, whilst another secured the guard, and holding a blunderbuss to his head, made a similar threat. Two of the rubbers entered the waggon and began to unload it into a cart which they Lad with them; two men were in the earl, and they loaded it quite full, havineiObbed the waggon of five large trusses of goods, teeo trunks, a large chest, and three boxes. The two mew with the horse and cart drove off, whilst the other four men, with presented aims, stool sentry over the waggoner and guard for more than half an hour. ACCIDINT AND MOST ATROCIOUS ROBIIIIRT—We are sorry to state that Mr. John Patching, jun. of Withyham, (I met with a dreadful accident on Saturday night last , in con sequence of his hawse falling with him, on his return home.— The injury he received rendered him insensible, and but lit tle hopes ere entertained for his recovery. He was not dis covered in the above condition till the next morning, when it was found that some villains had robbed his person while lying in a senseless state, of nearly 1001. in notes. The timbers of most of the notes are known, and we hope the barbarians will not escape detection.
