" No, that is impossible," said Mr. Searle:ft, " for lie would have been dead !•• (Loud and continued laughter). The I.earced Sergeant very good-naturedly admitted the blunder.

A gross insult hail been offered to his father, and he had resented it; and whet would have been the conduct of the Learned Cour.sel (Mr. Scarlet's) son, who was in the 'acne regiment as the siefendant, had he heard his father traduced in such a way '? why he would have been the first to have resented the insult , and lie had been no sun nor a soldier had lie nut! What was he to have done? the defendant would make no apology, nor would he meet him as a i•eritleano, and this was his only alternative; but it was not done 13 the Italian like manner his brained Friend had said it was; no. he went to demand an apology, and instead of giving one, the I.4.,intitt oddest insult to injury. and his client had certainly made ore of the cane he find With him. Tho lusy had heard the words the plaintiff used, " That I.e hall kicked the old man's bottom." to ;use the mildest epithet. Was this nut enough to provoke the sibilant Officer? /lad rot the plaintiff's object been money, he would never have brought the action ; but if the Jury gave 405., it would carry costs, and be three years' pay out of the Captaari's ccitt ; quite enough fur vindicating a parent's wrongs. The Learned Sergeant, after a review of all the circumstances of the Case, Twocceded to call a witness to prove the words used by the plaintiff. John IVoilehouse examined by Mr. Williams—He is an attor ney at Bolton ; he knows Lieutenant Itycroft ; he knew him before the 53d of .duly ; lie is an uftleer of dragoons; he met him in Idol. ton on that day, about two o'clock in the afternoon ; on seeing the witness, he inn a question to him; it was about unitething sup p.ered be (‘Codchnuse) had said to a Mr. Merry ; he delayed giving him any answer . ; he asked me if I had made use of certain expres. lifts to a Mr. Merry . ; they were reeds that applied to Mr. Ity attit's Inther ;he sa id that be had been and was r:turning from Liverpool tl.e preceding week with Mr. Merry, who-- Mr. 1 ,1 4 t: All LETT objected.

They, the Jury, had heard certainly of eloquence, and so they had the WOWS, " my Learned Friend," which were common In a Court of Justice, whether true or not, (a laugh.) lie had a diffivent opinion of gallantry to that laid down by him. Mr. leer. gevnt Cross ; and with respect to his own son, he trusted lie never had, nor ever would have such feelings of revenge as those possessed by the defendant. Mr. Searlett then adverted to the nature of the affair, and concluded by calling on the Jury for suitable damages. The LeunedJUDOE briefly charged the Jury, and said it was se.necestiery for him to go through the whole of the case, as they had heard the evidence and could draw their conclusions. The sole question wes the question of damages the plaintiff was entitled to—that be was entitled to a verdict was clear.

Mr. Sergeant CROSS. for the defendant, said, the pleas were, the Statute of Limitation and not guilt. tilt. SCARLETT then proceeded to examine a person of the name ct Macs Retry, coal agent to the Earl of Bradford, to prove an agreement between the patties for the letting of the mines in 11;17 to the defendant. at the sum of VOL par annum, or I:lfri. per acre. Mr. Sergeant Cross objected to the instrument, as it had not beer regularly stamped, when Mr. S raid, there hod been n subsequent understanding that a parole agreement was to be admitted on the trial. Mr. Sergeant ('nose then admitted the agreement, which was put in, and was in the usual form of letting. After a desultory conversation of a short duration, The Learned JUDGE said—l'annot this cause, Mr. Attorney- General (Mr. Scarlett), be referred to some Gentleman at the Bar whet understands the plans. &c.?--(Plans of the mines. maps, &r. were in Court.)—As I am sure, continued the Learned Judge, if. the Noble Lord were here whom I hare the pleasure of knowing' tory well, lie himself would raise no objection against an amicable adjustment (there beirg i.ther matters in the cruse to try), of all wiattars in disute. Is there no person in Court who can speak for his Lordship? The Earl of Bradford's agent rose and said—We have tried to souk it twice nut of Court, my Lord, but without elect.

The bid Was pad over by the drawer to the plaintiff, who endorsed it' , t.rer to other patties. The bill was afterwards returned disbo. twured, notice of which was given to the drawer, sad be Went to the de .s lent, who told hint that he could not pay the ; but that he would take it up with another bill, sun k . I tent to cover the amount, with expenses. The second bill was given; it became due or the let of February, and was paid. but v.e former bill was out given up to the defendant. and in May the present proceedings were commenced by John Shelmerdine. Foe the defendant,William Shelmenline was called, to pmce the circumstances under which he receierd the latter bill. He stateil that the second bill had been paid away by himself, and that the termer bill was not given up; and he attempted to account fur the fact by Fraying. that the defendant agreed to pay his deniand in fell. He was then asked if the plaintiff knew of these transac liens, but be darned that he had had any communication with his brother foe eight years. Justice BAYLttr told the Jury they must dismiss the whale o; what had been said by the Last witness, as it was not s!tewn that the pipintift was cognizant of what he hail done; what he hail said was flat legs' evidence. The plaintiff was entitled to their verdict. Tile Jury deliberated for some time. and did rot sheet inclined to come to a conclusion, when ill. Justice Palmer repeated to them what he had yreviously said, as to the plaintiff being entitled to their verdict. Though they might surmise that there had been same collusion between the pbantambl his brother, yet they hail tie legal evidence of it ; and they must not find a verdict en sue. rose and supposition. The Jury spun deliberated far some time. Mr. Justice BAYLEY repeated that the plailita was legally en titled to their verdict; if they did not find for hint, they would cut bp tt.e paper credit of the country by the roots. The Jury again deliberated. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—Gentlemen, I tell you that it is your den , to find for the plaintiff The Jury again deliberated. Mr. Justice BATLEY said that if they could not agree upon a verdict fur the plaintiff, lie would discharge them from giving any verdict, and send the cause to be trial over again in the utter ('hurt. The Jury was shacfore discharged. _ ALLEN v. WILLIES. Mr. PARKE opened the pleadings. Mr. tearer ET T stated to the Jury, that this action wss on). 1 rnenced by Mr. Allen, a gentleman residing in Alanchester, and who for many years had been extensively engaged in business, as; A merchant there., against the defendant. Mr. Walker, who was a respectable solicitor, also residing in Manchester, to recover a compensation in damages fur a wanton as cult committed upon Mr Allen b Al r. Walker. The circumstances leading to the as. sault were them.. Mr. Allen had fur many years been in partner ship with a person of the name of Ireland, and some disputes hay arisen between them as to their accounts, Mr. Ireland cm- I ployed Mr. il'aiker as his solicitor in the matter, and it was' finally arranged that the books of the partnership should be in. specied by an accountant of the name of Broome, on behalf of Mr. Ireland. Mr. Broome accordingly . did examine the beaks, Lid detected several errors, amounting in the whole to a eontm:eiable som. The account. as drawn out by Mr. Broome, was finally sub mitted to arbitration, and the arbitrators having ascertained a 'w be due to Mr. Ireland, the amount was paid hint. ly to this, another error, to the amount of IM!. er was disfavored by Mr. Broome; and on this being to Mr. Walker, he at once stated, that in that error bad committed a fraud. This assertion getting to the; tbe soikitor of hit. Allen, that gentleman I waited upon Mr. Walker, and required an explanation on behalf, of Mr. Allen. lie . Walker then again said, that Mr. Allen bad not only been guilty of a fraud, but when It was pointed out to him he had chuckled at it. Mr. NVilson stated that there might be an emir, but he denied any fraudulent intent on the part of hlr. !Allen, and requested that Mr. Walker would appoint a time to in , mitite the account. and, if possible, prove his assertion. I Mr. Walker did afterwards, by kite? to Mr. Wilson, appoint i the 2lith July last, for a meeting at his office on the subject, and t requested that several books might be brought. Accordingly, at the time lined, Mr. Wilson, accompanied by Mr. Allen and Say, a friend of his, attentiod, and were met by file. Walker and Mr. Broome, the accountant. The books were produced, and it then , appeared there was an error in the account of a person of the name t of Charles Ainsworth, the amount entered as received from him be t ing less by 130/. then what he had actually paid ; but this entry was not made by file. Allen, but by his bookkeeper. Mr. Wilson, on seeing this, said, certainly it was an error, but nothing more could be said of it ; but MrAl alker said that it was a fraud, and he had proved it one. Mr. Wilson then required file. Valker to substantiate the other part of the charge against Mr. Altai., viz. his having chuckled at having committed a fraud, on which Mr. \Vanier referred to Mr. Broome, who stated. that on discovering the error as to Ainsworth's account, he had called upon Mr. Allen, and stated it to him, and that Mr. Allen, on being satisfied of the t error, patted 31r.ltrounie on the shoulder, and said, " there, Broome, you see with aU your keenness and cleverness you did not find out that." Mr. Wilison, on hearing this, said it amounted to nothing like chuckling at a fraud, and that the most that could be said of the matter was, that it was an error committed by the bookkeeper. file. Walker again said it was a fraud, and was committed with a rascally intent, on which Mi. Allen, who had been seated the whole time, said, " that is a villanous assertion," when Mr. Walker. without further ceremony, went across the room and struck Mr. Allen a blow in the face. Ile (Mr. Scarlet° had known Mr. Walker many pars, and must say of him that he was one of those gentlemen, who, when they hail formed as opinion, would not depart trims it; but surely Mr. W. if he had formed such an opinion of Mr. Allen as lie had stated, ought not to Issue asserted that opinion in the presence of Mr. Allen in the manner belied done, without being prepared to receive some answer to it; and he (Mr. Scarlet° would limn to the Jury, whether the answer of Mr. Allen was not such a one as any of them would have given, and have given too, without especsing to receive a blow as a re plication. Dlr. Allen did not complain of any serious injury done to his person, nor did he come there with any view of putting da mages into his pocket; but although there was no serious injury dune to his perean, his feelings had been wounded by such an in dignity as he hail received, and as no offer of compromise had been made, lie had no alternative but to bring the case before a Jury, who, lie was sure, in estimating the damages. would take into their consideration the provocation first given by Mr. \Volker, the place in which the assault was counniited, and die manner in which it was committed. ........ Mt. R. H. Wilson, the solicimr of Mr. Allen in the dispute with Mr. Ireland, was then called, and proved the circumstances as stated by 31r. Scarlett. 31r. Say, who had acted as the arbitrator foe Mr. Allen, was next called, and fully corroborated the evidence of Mr. Wilson, and added that he did not consider the errors fraudulent. j On his cross-examination, he stated that Mr. Ireland was an il literate man: he believed he could :trite: had seen hint sign his name. Did not remember the exact amour.t of emits in favour of Mr. Allen in the accounts better m him and Mr. Ireland, but thought they were upwards of 4,t0 , 0/.; there were errors fur and against. 31r. Sergeant Caoss foe the defence, stated, that biaelient, Mr. j Walker, feeling that the whole facts of the case were not before the Jury, instructed him to call a witness before them who was present at the whole of the transaction, who was not in any way Interested with any of the parties, and rho would prove to them, that die words " rascally intent." were not used by Mr. Walker, and that Mr. A. had. on Mr. Walker stating that it was a gross fraud (which words j he admitted having used) raTlied, " that is a most notorious lie and a villainous assertion," and if he proved that, who, he would ask, would sit quietly, or who would not have acted as his client had ! done ? For my part, said the Learned Sergeant, I ant free to con tra, and with reverence in this plat z be it spoken, that if a man had teld me that I bad told a notorious lie and made a villainous assertion, I should lime knocked him down. The Jury, in esti mating the damages in this case, would take into consideration the situation of Mr. Valk. r, who was professionally concerned for an !Illiterate man, as Mr. Ireland had been proved to be, for whom I Mrs Walker, through the agency of Mr. Broome, had disco raved that errors to the amount of upwards of 6,004.1/., as lie I :mould prove to them, had been itu!de against him by his partner, jlllr. Allen, and placing themselves in the situation of 31r. Walker, would say whether these was nut some excuse for 51r. Walker's forming the irion he lad stated (though he might have formed it erroneousl y . Mr. Walker was himself satisfied that he had not used the words rascally intent," and was naturally anxious, as the case was before a Jury, that the whole of his conduct in the transaction should go furl, to the eouruy ; he did rot mean to say be had done so, but he felt it his duty to lay the whole facts of the case, from first to last, before the Jury, in order that in estimating the daniages, they might make some allowance for his feelings at the time the assault was committed. _ _ ..... . 111 r. Broome, All accountant front Manchester. WWI then called; he stated that he was employed to investigate the partnership ac counts of Allen and Ireland ; that he discovered errors in favour of Mr. Allen to the amount of (1,00 1. some odds ; that there were also errors against Mr. Allen, and in favour of Mr. Ireland, to the I amount of lOU. sonic odd shillings; this account of errors was afterwards refarred, and the arbitrators reduced the amount to 3,1100/. That on subsequently discovering the error in Mr. Chas. Ainsworth's account, he called upon Mr. Allen and explained it to him ; when Mr. Allen, upon being satisfied of the error, patted him (witness) upon the shoulder, and said, " Well, Broome, you sea with all your abilities you did not find out that, but you have I got enough fur hint." 'Si itness then stated what took place at Mr. NValker's office previous to the assault ; that Mr. li'alker stated that it was a fraud, and a gross fraud ; on which Mr. Allen got up and went to the table where the books were, anti bitting the table or the books with his hand, said, '• That's a notorious lie and a villanous assertion;" when t':. Walker struck Mr. Allen, who was then standing, a blow in the face. On his cross-examination lie stated, that the partnership of Allen and Ireland was of twelve or thirteen years' standing- and that the errors °craned during that period; that a part of the time Mr. Ireland had only cme.fourth of the profits, and for the remainder one-third ; the fi,ffila/. of errors was the total amount, and nut Mr. Ireland's share; the books in akich the accounts of Allen and Ire land were kept confained ether rartnerhip accounts of Mr. Allen's, and were kept, he believed, by u bookseller to the co corn of Allen and Ireland. Mr. SC•It LETT re died conviderable length. After which, Mr. Baton Iit:LT.OCM summed up the case to the Jury, who, after a few wintitcs' consideration, returned a verdict for the plaintitl—llaniages .10/. Tut 11 sartar.—We find with much regret that the harvest is by no means so far advanced in this neighbour hood as we had been led to suritose. Many farmers on the Cheshire aide of the town had cut their corn, but calculat ing too confidently on the continuance of fine weather, had gone to tuber agricultural operations, instead of at once housing it. In Derbyshire and on the borders of York shire there is a vast deal of corn not carried, which has been exposed to all the rain of the past week. Thursday and yesterday. however, were fine days, and we hope the wea ther will again take up, so as to admit of the harvest being well finished. Th 2 crops, we hear, are everywhere abun dant, and if they should be well gotten, we may safely cal culate on the blesznlgs of low prices.—Munehester Guardian.

Si cam CAR ZI AG x.—About eighteen months or two, years ago, we mentioned the invention of Mr. Nathan Gough. of a steam carriage to run on common roads, and, its baring been tried on the Stockport road. Since that time, we hare heard nothing of this vehicle until the pre sent week. On Monday evening, however, the inventor gave it another trial. It proceeded slowly and with fre quent stoppages, from his house in Duncan -street, Oldilehl Road, a short distance up Regent Road, and then back again. The flue being, u subsequently appeared, almost ' choakcd up with rubbish, had prevented the proper action of the engine ; and it was in consequence of this, that the machine performing so ir.differently. On the following evening, however, the defect had been remedied, and the carriage proceede d from Oldaeld Road up Regent Road I down Cress-lane, and by way of the Crescent to lb:. place whence it set out. Its pace on level ground was about three miles an hour, and, in addition to the guides who sits , in front, it carried three or four passengers. The steam et:gine is on the high pressure principle, and its power. we, understand. acts exclusively on the hind wheels. Not h.ev.. ing yet had the opportunity of examining the machinery, we are of course unable to describe it. We conceive, how ever, the feasibility of My. Gough's plan has been fuliy establ abed ; and when the rude construction of the carriage and its works, which wete intended merely for experiment, arc borne in mind, it will be evident that its capabilities of action must not be estimated from what it has in:herto fortned.—ellancheeler Pape).

John James, who is likewise an old man and apparently very decrepid, stated, that on Wednesday last, he went, by order of his ; employers, into the City to several banking-houses, and was re turning, between one and two o'slock, with a pocket-book con. raining large and small notes to the above amount. In St. Paul's Church-yard, an elderly man pressed upon hint very much with out any occasion for it, as there was quite room enough to pass. Witness asked him why he did so, but no reply was given I witness had no suspicion of any intention to rub him, and con tinued his walk homeward ; just as he reached fleet-martet, be was surprised at finding the 'An s titan pressing against him, and asked him abut he meant by doing so? The Mall replied that he could rot help it, as he had been pressed upon by others. Witness upon looking round saw nobody, and begged that the man would not repeat his conduct. However, just as he was passing Shoe lane, ho felt a third pressure against hint, and then there were several persons near I . Upon turning to see who pushed him, he observed the same man, and spoke to him. The man then walked quickly away up Shoe-lane, and the witness put his hand to his coat pocket, and found that his pocket-book, containing all the notes, had been cut out of his pocket. Ile instantly gave the alarm, but the man who had been following him, and no doubt had robbed him, had disappeared. Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, having received a description of the person who had been following James, sent John Forrester, jun. and Foster, the officers, in quest of the prisoner, whom they found on the Kent-road, and took into custody. The moment James saw him, he said he was the man who followed him ;_ but' when asked by the Lord Mayor, he had his doubts. lie could not at all swear to his identity. The clerk in the Bank, who had on Wednesday seen two per. sons in the Bark who seemed to la.! waiting for somebody, and, thought he could identify them. attended, but when he saw the prisoner he said, that there was nut the slightest resemblance be tween him and either of tbei. The prisoner, upon being apprehended, and told what he was taken for, said he wished he had been so lucky as to come in for so comfortable a 66 swag," but he thought things of the kind dan gerous, and never ventured out of his own safe line of business, for any thing of the kind. Ile declared that he had been walking in a different part of the town at the time of the robbery, and that be would be the last man in the world to cut a pocket. The boat) :llar on said he could not, under such circumstances, think of detaining the prisoner, who was accordingly discharged. GUILDHALL.

As soon as they gained access to the house, they rushed into the parlour, but the bird was flown ; and as they had just CSUit to be lieve that he was still incog. up stairs, the officers were proceeding there, and had scarcely ascended the first flight, when the defend. art (Mr. Bennett) darted out of the back room on the first floor, where he and the man whom they " wanted" had been together. The defendant immediately seized one of the officers. and attempted to throw him down stairs, when a scuttle ensued, that allowed the man against whom they had the writ, time to escape which he did, by jumping out of the window. The officer oddest , that although he produced his authority to the defendant, in order to convince hint of the legality of their proceedings, yet they met with the op position just stated. The defendant, in his defence, at once admitted that part of the statement relative to his having opposed the officers ; but said he, " I did not know who or what they wanted, and as they were strangers, and for aught I knew thieves, I did the best I could to expel them from my house." The Magistrate said, that it was evident the defendant knew well the business upon which the officers came to his house, and his opposing them was to give his friend an opportunity of escape. Under the circumstances, lie should find bail to answer the cow. plaint ut the Seasions. Jahn Kitt and Jeremiah Wild, two young thieves, who go about the street, calling out •• scouring paper," were brought up, charged with having entered the house of a gentleman at Clapham.
