_n_.. . ,/ . A LIBERTY OP THE iiiSSENTis, SALISBURY, Mance 16. The two following Causes, which were of -consi derable importance, not only on account of their lo - tail interest, but on account of their universal opera. Ilan,. were tried before Mr. Justice Hnlroyd, who sreebided at Nisi Prius. Both related to 'Protestant Disrenters: the first to their exemption' from Turn• pike Tolls on Souda)a, when attending their places iof Religious Worship;—end the second, to their - protection from riots and noises withnot their Meet. ling-Houses, even when unaccompanied by internal ioterreptions or assaults:- - LEWIS V. HAMMOND. In this case it appeared from the statement of Mr. Serjeint Pew., Counsel for the Plaintiff, and the proofs, that the Plaintiff, being a farmer, at Fos. - ,banger, In the perish of Rowde, near Devizes, et. tended regularly a congregation of Independent Dis senters in that town, and in passing through a turn , pike-gate, called Seend Gate, on Sundays, he claimed from the Defendant, who is ■ collector of tollast the Ve r so exemption from the toil of 10d., demanded from him, because he was going to his proper place of religious worship at Devises, and that such claim being rejected, and the toil enforced, the action was brought-in his name by the Society in the Metropolis ...for,tbe protection of the Religious Liberties of Dis senters, to recover back the amount of the toll so obtained. For the Defendant, it was contended by Mr. Cm ovtiv, that under the particular words of that Turn. pike . Act the Plaintiff was not entitled to the ',temp t/OP, because he went vet of his own parish to at . evil at a place of public worship, and because there womin such perish a Dissenting place of worship. But a case being mentioned by Mr. Serjeant PELL, where, at the Suffolk Assizes, Mr. Justice Grose had .1441 each defence to be unavailing, ~ Mr. Justice lloutovo determined that the Plain. tiff was entitled to the exemption, notwithstanding ,the ,topics urged for the Defendente but he per „spitted his Counsel to apply to the Court, if they on reflection should deem it espedient, to correct his lodgment ; and directed the Jury to find a verdict for the Plaintiff; and they accordingly returned a verdict for Plaintiff--Damages .10d. and Costs. The other case was egminst the Rev. W. Easton, Perpetual Curate of Anster ; J. Jerrard, the Tith ing -matt, and eight others, for assembling with cow. lents, ,large bells, laid other instruments, and en oeeoying therewith a congregation of Dissenters, so as 0 interrupt the said congregation while assembling for the purpose of Divine Worship, and following the Rev. Mr. Hopkins, the Minister, to the bounds. vies ui the parish, with oaths, execrations, and the above discordant sounds ; of which the Rey. Mr. Easton, J. Jerrard, and seven others, were found— ASSIZES. t. •!!1- " r YORK CAa't LE, Idartmslo. CROWN SIDE. SETORY Nit. JUSTICZ BLYLEY. Samuel Leutherland *SS charged with uttering a forged Bink of England note of the value of 51. well knowing the same to be forged and counterfeit. This was a prosecution instituted by the Bank of England, and the circumstances of the case are brief ly as follow : On the 241 of July last, the Prisoner was at Bull, while he purchased of . FAward Robinson, a broker, of that place, silk handkerchiefs to the amount of 261. 10s.• In paptrent of which he gave him four 51. Bank of England notes, the rest in country notes and silver: .With gut entering into a tedious detail Of the different persons through whose hands these notes passed, it hill be sufficient to state, that they were satisfactorily identified, and proved to be forged, hurl to be the same that had been paid by the Pt Umber. On the 30th of July, the Prisoner again appeared at Hull for the purpose of making similar purchases, and the notes paid to Robinson having, in the in. terim, been returned to him as forged ones, he was no sooner apprized of the Prisoner being at Hull, than he applied to him for good money for the notes he had paid to him. The Prisoner affected to be en tirely ignorant of the transaction, and said he had never seen Mr. Robinson before. Mr. R. persisted in his charge, and the result ins, that a constable was sent for and the Prisoner, alter some resistance, was searched ; when there wag found upon him seven 51. Bank of England notes and seven 11. notes, a4l of which were forged. The Prisoner was of course committed to the jail ; and on his examination before the Mayor, he stated that he had paid the notes in question to Mr. Robinson, and that he had bought them, together with the others he had in his posses saint', at the rate of eight shillings in the pound ; but declined to say of whom he bought them unless ad. milted evidence for the Crown, in which case he could give important information. The Prisoner, Who was doubtless aware of the de. eishe evidence which would be produced against him, and of the fatal declaration be had made, pleaded guilty, but on the bonbons recommendation of the J u d g e be withdrew his plea, and put himself upon his trial. lie iti a native of Kettering,in Northampton shire. Two witnesses were called who spoke very favourably of his character. The Jury found the Prisoner—Guilfk James Young, charged with a burglary in dwelling.hoose of David Cass, of Syke-house, ii the . perish of Fishwick, wis Acquitted. John Manchester, butcher, of Seacroft, near Leeds, was charged with steeling nine sheep, the property of Mr. Samuel lisinsworth, of Addle. * Several most respectable witnesses were called to speak to the character of the Prisoner. . Lord Pollingten, foreman of the Grand Jury, said he knew the family 61 the Prisoner ; his father had been the tenant of his father many years, and he knew that he was a must respectable man, and lie understood that the young man had always behaved ' .ell. • Th 6 JiinGi . said; the effector charicter with a Jim was to turn the scale in fit Our o the Prisoner in those cases which fairlY:advnittistrof:denbt, bin it could not;' 1 Overbilatice stron)t and decitiiiteridence of Olt.

William Mills, one of . the men included in the warrant, was called, as an eviden,ce. He admitted taking a leiter from. Mr. Silwerwood, the Prisoner, on Wednesday last, to Mr. Payne, announcing his and the other melt's determination to leave their work. Ile asked Mr. Payne for a written answer to his letter, which Mr. P. declined to give. He ob. served that be did not know that the men bad any grie%ances to complain of ; if any existed, and that they came to him, he would mires' them. Ile then left Mr. Payne, and they had not been heard of since—so that it was concluded that nothingahort of a compliance with the conditions dictated la the let ter would be accepted by the men. The Prisoner, Stlverwood, who has been the leader and spokesman upon all these proceedings, ad dressed the Magistrate, and solicited a prtstpoueineot of the examination till Mr. Alley Could be procured to attend for them, which the, Magistrate agreed to do for an hour. The Office was crowded sciet journeymen ployed in i the coach making. business. Mr. Hopkinson, the coarli-rnaker, of Holborn, the Chairman of the Association of Master Coach-tnakers, who have lately met slime the - combination of the journeymen was discovered, wet present, also Nr. Howe, and other master coach-otakere. THURSDAY. MARCH 12. Thomas Watt* was charged with borglariously breaking ihto the dwelling-house of Mrs. Jane Riley, shopkeeper, of Leeds, and stealing therefrom a cer tain book; another copra in the indictment charged the breaking into the house to be with an intent to steal. The Jory found the Prisoner—Guilty ;. and fur ther stated, that they were of opinion the door was latched. The Prosecntris vecommeded the Prisoner to mercy, on the ground of havitsg known him 26 years, and of his always having boh►e a good character. Matthew Todd, late of Leeds, chimney ornament manufacturer, charged with breaking into the dwell ing-house of Mr. Robert Lister, cloth-dresser, in Kirkgate, was found guilty. There are several other indictments . against the Prisoner, for similar offences. On Thursday the trials of Joseph Farrar, James Wright, John Farrar, and Isaac Farrar, charged with committing .divers robberies, in the neighbour hood of Haworth, &c. known by the name of Ilarcorth Gang, came on, but all the Priioners were acquitted, on the ground of the evidence of Utley the accomplice, not being supported by any uncon taminated evidence. em. FRIDAY, Ai ARCH 13, The following Prisoners were arraigned on charges of wilful myple,r : /trakclla . and Mary Watson, of Ripon, charged . with the wilful murder of a new boon illegitimate child : and James Chceseborugh, of Whitley, near Wakefield, charged with the wilful murder of his mother, Sarah Cheesebrough. The Court first proceeded with the trial of Isabella and Mara Watson, end the indictment stated the death of the child to have been occasioned by the wilfully omitting to tie up the navel-string, in conse• quence of which the infant had bled to death, and further, that with the view of accelerating the death they inflicted a wound on the back of the child with a sharp instrument. Two difficulties presented them selves in this case : the first was the want of satisfac tory evidence that the child was born alive; and secondly, supposing the child to have been murdered, the difficulty of proving whether the act was perpe trated by hoth the Prisoners, or with their joint con; currence, or whether it was the deed of the mother. or the daughter, and if only one of them, of which? The Prisoners had no Counsel, but Mr. Justice Bay ley took great pains in cross-examining the witnesses for the prosecution, end in summing up the evidence, brought into prominent view all the circumstances favourable to the Prisoners, both of whom the Jury, without re!iring„ . found—Not Guilty. James Cheesebrough wa.: then put upon his trial for the wilful murder of his mother. It appeared front the evidence that the Prisoner had been in a complete state of idiotism for about twelve years, and Wei subject to 401eikt paroaisms, in one of which he attacked the deceased, and destio)ed her. The Jury Acquitted the Prisoner on the ground of his being insane at the time the fact was committed.—llis ap pearance exhibited the must sinequivocal symptoms of idiocy. Matthew Stephcnson, of Gildersome, was found Guilty of Manslaughter—six months Imprisonment. The trial of Mtn Squire, the late Treasurer of the Leeds Workhouse, fur embezzlement, is espect ed to come on this day. The Grand Jury were discharged on Thursday af• ternoon. A bill against Thomas 7'albut, charged with cut ting the pocket of a person in the Crown Court, during the present Assizes, with intent to steal his pocketbook, was thrown out by the Grand Jury. I There are 196 causes entered for trial at the As sizes at York, of which have Sirecial Juries. 'T- --- On Mr. Alley -coming into the Office, he bad a consultation with the Prisoners mod their friends. —The Prisoners were afterwards placed at the bar attain, when their behaviour was quite chang ed, and they acknowledged their guilt and the impro priety of their conduct. , • Mr. Payne said he should only agree to withdraw his prosecution on condition of their agreeing to re turn to their work without loss of time, which the Prisoners agreed to do. The Magistrate addressed the Prisoners, and told them the Prosecutor had acted a deal of lenity and mercy towards them; he wss glad they had con ducted themselves in the way they had been advised by their Counsel, Mr. Alley, which, no doubt, was the best that could be giveu them, and hoped their escape would be a warning to them uoL to euter into similar proceedings in future. Mr. Payne said, he hid been informed they had all bound themselves by an oN4li to forfeit a one pound uute each if one returned to work without the whole. The Prisoners all denied this, as well as all those who thronged the °dice. THE GREAT FOOTUACES.—No matches since the days of Captain Barclay's, have excited so much in. terest as those fixed for to-morrow, between the celebrated Rainer and Old 'l'nm (15 miles), and Brazier and Appleton (4 miles), for 100 guineas each reel.. • Mr. Jackson, who was left to name the ground, filed on the place yesterday, with consent of the parties. The ground named is Maidenhead Thicket, (Berkshire), over two miles.—Thousands are depending upon the event, as the four men are decidedly the fastest in England at their matches. 'Betting 5 to 4 on Old Tom, and 5 to 4 on Apple ton ; 3 to 1 is betted against naming two winners, and 4 to 1 that Rainer and Brazier don't both win. In the tremendous night of Wednesday se'nnight, three men set off from the Hotel, Cleathorps, to walk to Grimsby ; on leaiing the house they went upon the Sands, with intent of proceeding 'close under the shore; unfortunately, the hat of one them, Mr. Wm. Dunn, grocer, of Grimsby, was blown into the Humber, and he pursued it, followed by one of his companions., until the latter was up to his middle in the water, when he lost sight of Mr. Dunn, who met an untimely slid watery grave. The other with difficulty reached the shore, having the painful task of communicating the dreadful fate of his companion. T ! .e holy was found on Monday, and interred on Wednesday following. The burial-ground of St. John's, ilorsleydown, was robbed of four bodies, in the night of Wednes day last. Vegetation is making a rapid progress, notwith standing the late severe weather.

M ANSTON-DOUSE.—YPlterday, Mr. Levi, a re. spertable silversmith in the Miriories, appeared upon a summons granted upon the following statement : Thomas Bayles, Esq. deposed, OA be resided at Woolwich. On the night of the 14th of February last, his house was plundered of wearing apparel and plate to a considerable amount. Suspicion rested 'upon the servants, and they were all examined sepa rately, when it appeared, (baton the night men tioned, the groom had suffered an acquaintance of his, a servant out of place, to sleep with him. A 1 search was instituted for this man,• but he could not be found, nor could the property be discovered, un til a few days since, when a part of it was in—rather a singular manner found at the shop of Mr. Levi. A young man, who had formerly lived with the deponent, was passing by Mr. Levi's shop, when he stopped to look at a gold seal of peculiar workmanship, which he wished to purchase. lie was about to enter 'the shop to enquire the price, when casting his eye ,on an upper shelf, be saw several spoons, two castors, and a mustard-pot, which he immediately recognised to he the property cf his late master ; he had heard of the rubbery only the day before; he wrote to Mr. Zs) les to inform him of thediscosery, and the latter went to Mr. Levi In claim the property. Mr. Levi produced the articles, and said he had purchased' them about a mouth ago of a young man, who was dressed in the style of a country Gentleman, at the usual price of ss. 6d. per ouuce ; he should be able to identify the man if he saw him, and was anxi ous to rive every essistarice in his power towards his detection. The LORD Mayon was of opinion, that 'not the slightest imputation could rest upon the rho rector of Mr. Levi, arid recommended a strict search for the depredator. GUILDHALL.— A man of very respectable appear. anco, named Robinson, was put to the bar, charged with uttering a forged note of the Bank of England, forsl —Remanded for further examination. • QUEEN•SOUARE.—James 'Hooper and William Major were charged by Gilmore the Officer, on sus. picion of divers felonies.
