These receipts, also, are those of men winking Item six in the morning till eleven at night, who, if their labours were limited to the regular !mute of employ met. could scarcely average, even before the present attempted reduction of our sages, a sußleient competency to maintain themselves and i s mil•es. We, therefore, respectfully request that your honourable Society - . previous to fanning your judgment as to the amount of wage. which can be ranted by journeymen employed in the execu tion of your work, will examine the books of our Einployers, and st•ceentist the average of our weekly earnings fee the last twelve inor.thtt, which we fecl confident will josh/ you in taking into considerationthe respectful appeal made to your honourable So. cier in the Courier and Times of yesterday."

HALL'S DIGESTIVE or DINNER PILLS. — Of all the complaints to which the human ironic is liable, few arc more distressing, and none are more common, than a disordered state of the stomach, arising from weakness or derangement in the digestive organs, and attended with flatulence, acidity, pains in the .tinnarli, giddiness, head-ache, and heartburn. To remove these pamtul iffects where they exist, and to prevent their recurrence, by giving renewed vigour and a healthy tone to the digestive powers, 1, the express design of the above pills ; and experience has abun dintly proved that they are eminently calculated to produce these important results. By taking them a short time before the hour of dinner, the process of digestion is greatly assisted, and by the oc c-sisnal use of them, the system will be preserved in a sound and heaithy state. As preventives of those severe bilious attacks to which aome persons are liable, these pills are deridedly recommended, and as an •zffectual, though gentle aperient. they will ever prove a most va luable family medicine. They have also beer highly useful to .persons on long voyages, and experiencing a change of climate; and as they do not contain any preparation of calomel, no altera tion of diet nor confinement to the house Is requisite.

WILLIAM HODCETTS, WILLIAM ASH , MOHR, AHD RICHARD RAUL This case was commenced et; Saturday last, and as the plsintifrs case was only concluded en Saturday night, at 11 o'clock, the de fenslunts' cast could not thee he commenced, and it was postponed until the Wednesday ensuing (the 9 , by It was an action brought by the plaintiff, a farmer in the county of Steffen', against the defendants, who are part proprietors of the Ihrminginnn Journal and G.:peral Aden gser, to recover a com pensetion in damages for two Aloe , ' libels ptildis.lied by them in their paper, imputing to the plaintiff the most atrocious cruelty to. wards a lunatic brother in his Lure. Mr. TAtrotrao opened the pleadings. Mr. I LL (with whom also was Mr. %I lIATEirs) stated the plaintiff's case. Never, in the vet* course of my life, Gen•le men, del 1 rise to addrees a Jury with the statue anxiety as that which 1 now feel. This• action has been bent& for libels the nitro air wines, black, and I believe itsfortuderl, that were ever published against any Mime' , being. They impute to the plaintiff such misconduct, such criminality, sued want et' feeling and want of natural affection, that if there was it: e smallest foundation for them, be would not only be unworthy to aimear in society, nut he would be a disgrace to our commie; avulse- ticielemen of the Jury, the plaintiff in this ease is iw the sane rank of life with yourselves; lie is a moot respectable helmet. rm ding in the county of Staffeird. Ile is the son of a dlr. *Smith. who had a nume rous family of antis and daughtere. . Leiter lived at Willow Bridge bodge. where the comity of Stafford borders with the county of Salnp. The members of his family who resided. ` ith Mtn were. William, the proem plaintiff; another son nioaml Thomas, a third son named George. and his daughter Saran. It pleased Ond that his son George was born an idiot; he was an idiot front his birth, never knowing the distinction between right and e rong. He could barely nrticule‘e a few wnrtls,not !mewing the meant, tg of what he spoke. Gentlemen, he was subject to fits, and gradtally grew worse and worse. In early youth he was able to walk ale. at, but only with the assistance of a guide, because he was unable :9 take charge of himself. Ilia father and his mother were, as yot. may naturally suppose, very much auricled to him, because, when any member of a family has any defect either of mind or body, the ob ject of such a visitation excites the tenderest solicitude. NVlsm he was ahout the age of twenty-two, in 11107, his mother, whit had taken particular care of him, died. Ilis father then be lieved towards him with the grea:mt fondness, tendernms, and kindness. Ile appropriated the best room in the house to his use. . Ile consulted a number of medical men, but they told him that nothing could be done fur him. It was found that the light • . red him, aggrandized his disorder, and made him wn-se. This window at Willow-bridge, therefore, was darkened, aril more or less light was let in. accordii gas he could bear it. Sometimes he was very quiet , but at other times lie tore the clothes from off hie back ; he would fall down, tireadltilly con vulsed, and at other times lie won't throw whatever he could find at those whet were the most attached to hint. When the fit was over he sunk in exleviseon, and so would remain until the fit un happily returned. Gentlemen, about the year 1811i1 or 1809 his father took anothet farm, at no considerable distance from his re sidence, called Muckleston-wood Perm, likewise in the county of Stafford. To that farm lie sent his son William, the present plaintiff; at Christmas, NO, and the daughter Sarah fol lowed. The father was much attached to her. and could ree lire without her ; and he therefore resolved to follow his eon %Villiam. But what was to become of the etthappy idiot? lie determined to carry the unhappy young man along with him. Preparations were accordingly made fur that purpose. The father selected the best room in his house to be appropriated to his use. It was a lofty airy room on the first floor, and he had a bedstead constructed purposely to obviate the effects of this unhappy young man's infirmities. He was now very much reduced. He was un able to walk, and lie wan brought front NVillow-bridge on a bed in a cart. lie was placed in this room. and his father and the brother Thomas, and the sister Sarah, continued to behave towards him with the :tiniest kindness up to his removal. There was a glazed windree in the room, Gentlemen. which continues in the Motu until this clay • but for the sake of sheeting him front the light, which in ereiseed his distemper ; a number of bricks were put into that room. window edgewise, which might be, or were not removed, as oeca sequired. The father did not long srvive his arriva at Mut icieston Wood. He went on a visit to an u other daughter, l who was married, and he died at her house In the month of May, 11319. On his death-bed, he gave special injuections to his chil dren, who were blessed with reason, that they should be hart with kindness to their brother George ; and not send him to any asylum, hut keep him in his own house with the utmost kindness and affection. Sarah was et this dine absent; but Mrs. Moreton, a married Mater, was there uuril May. 1812. At that time site left Muckleston dWootl ; Sarah returned; and from that time until January, 1828, fur a period of fourteen years. did Sarah devote herself to an attendance on her wretched brother, which, I believe, is almost unexampled for its assiduity, for its unwearied pees, for its kindness, and for its affection. You will find that the brothers, Thomas and William, also constantly superintended all his comforts. When they returned home, alter having been to market, or on any little journey, the first thing they uniformly did was to go up and see the situation of their unhappy brother; and everything they could possibly do to lessen the calamity of the wretched man, `• that did they." He was unable to walk, but they used to remove him in a chair. to another room, and to the garden, for the sake of fresh air. lam now, Gentlemen, obliged to relate some cireumstanzes with respect to ;his unfortunate man, which may be extremely •tlisgusting ; and, therefore. if ,there be any ladies in Court who might feel th e i r delicacy offended with the details of hie unfortunate infirmities, perhaps it would be more proper they should retire. The 'Bench, at this moment, was crowded with beauty and fashion. 3lr. Justice Buartouou, with his usual gallantry, politely re. commended the ladies to retire for short time to his room. Ills Lordship's words were, " Ladies, you had better retire for a short time. tio into my room." The ladies now instantly retired, and the chasms on the Bench occasioned by their absence, were instantly tilled by less couthly subjeets. Mr. CAM ptELL continued. It is indispensably necessary, Gen tlemen, for the ends of justice, that 1 should state to you, this un happy idiot was totally insensible to the calls of nature. lie involuntarily voided his urine and hisfircer ; and these are circum stances, which I understand, are by no means uncommon in cases of idiotism. It will appear to you in evidence, that every thing that could possibly be done, was done, to obviate the inconveniences that would otht rwise result from this habit. Ile had two feather beds, which were put alternately upon the bedstead. that had been made expressly the him by his father's order. The coverings of those beds were changed generally every second day. He was treated like an infant, and linen was put under him, which linen was removed from time to time, as necessity required. Besides the two feather beds, he had two mattresses filled with chaff. These were a!so changed, and fresh chaff put into them in this manner. Generally the brother Thomas, who is of very weak intellects, carried up the bag of clean chaff, and attar emptying that which was soiled out, refilled it. The bed was changed, and the dirty one brought down states clean sheets ant blankets having been carried up and put on. The unfortunate idiot was then washed, combed, and replaced in the bed with all the comfort of which he was susceptible. Gentlemen, on Monday the 23d of January, the unhappy idiot was very vio lent, he continued so on the Tuesday, anti his sister Sarah was obliged to sit up with him all that night. At that time he had been lust shifted on Monday ; and, between ten and eleven o'clock on Nt'ednesday morning, Thomas and Sarah went up, as they were ac customed to do, for the purpose of shifting him again, Thomas carry ing the bag of clean chaff Sarah brought down the dirty bed anti bed clothes; looked out clean sheets, blankets ' and a clean shirt, which she hang to the lire to air. Thomas took his brother George out of heel, and was preparing to wash him. He had just taken the ditty chaff out of the matters+, to till it with clean chaff. this was going on, Mary Hulrne, the servant, saw two gentlemen tiding into the courtyard, one of whom she knew to be Mr. Eld. There was no room in which they could he received, save and except the kitchen. She therefore immediately removed the dirty and the clean things that were there into the scullery. Having done this, she went up stairs to tell Thomas and Sarah that two gentlemen were coming to the house. Mr. Broughton, the Magistrate, was the gentleman with Mr. Eld, but hie name the servant did know. While they were coming near die house, Thomas replaced his brother George in bed, on which there was then nothing but I chaff, covered the blankets over him, and, I believe, also put a top-coat and two bags on him. lie then ran down for the purpose of speaking to the two strangers who were coining to the holm. They turned out to be Mr. EH and Mr. Broughton, as before stated. They demanded to see the brother George, and Thomas wished for some little delay, as his brother was not in a condition to be seen by atrargers. At this time, Sarah, who had been up stairs assisting, came down in the hurry of the moment, without her gown, and hail m ere ly thrown a shawl round her shoulders. She wished for • little time also, and Mr. Broughton (whatever his motives might lie, certainly hit conduct did him no credit, either as a clergyman, for I understand re is in holy orders—or as a Ma gistrate, for he is in the commission of the peace—or as a man) damned her, and used the most rude and offensive language. (Here the Learned Counsel stopped for a minute or two, and in. sinuated that the ltev. Mr. Broughton, who was on the Bench, was smiling.) Mr. Baottowrox repelled the charge with some warmth. Mr. CAMPUELL resumed—Gentlemen. I might he mistaken. should think this case ought not to excite a smile in ant , quarter for, certainly, it appears to me to be the most paintul case that was ever brought into a Court o 1 Justice —painful to the Ad vocates—painful to the Judge himself—and painful, I should think, to you. But justice requires that we should all do our duty in our respective situations. I will do mine, Gentlemen, fear lessly. Mr. Broughton and Mr. Eld, accompanied by a consta ble named Poulson, went up stairs.
