The smugglers were assembled to the number of fifty or sixty for an illegnl purpose, and they first assaulted his party, for unless they had done 140, the encounter could not have taken place, as it would have been a proof of rashness, and not of true courage to have at tempted to attack them with the small force placed at his dispose!. Ile begged the attention of his Lordship anti the Jury to the evi dence he should be able to adduce, to to his early chameter, and which he trusted would satisfactorily prove that his conduct, both in a public and private capacity, was the reverse of what had been imputed to him ; and, under Oink circumstances, he ventured to hope for an honourable acquittal. The prisoner delivered himself distinctly, tut with something of. eTapid utterance, that occasionally made it difficult to follow him. The address was listened to with profound attention, and appeared to excite the sympathy of acrowded Court. . _ Ilis Cotentin' e intimated his desire to procuro the address,' Which was handed to him accordingly.

The first point for their consideration was, whether it had been customary for the constable of one year to he the bailiff of the next year, and, whether that custom stood established in time immemoriaL lie was of opinion the immemorial usage had been e ittirlished.' It was proved to have existed for two.periods of thirty . years each, from 1616 to 1716, and from 17V7 to the present time, anti as no evidence was given to prove that in the interval between those two periods, namely, from 1716 to 1797, • contrary practice had prevailed. they were to assume it had been continued uninterruptedly and fined in the affirmative upon that point. The second point, and indeed the main one to be considered. was the right of the Lord of the Manor to elect to the office of bailiff; and this involved a ques. tion of more difficulty, and, as he had said, was the important cir. icumstance op the decision of which the case depended. There was a remarkable terraces in the terms of the documents relative to the 1 mode in which it had been customary to appoint the bailiff• In one the bailiff was described as " elected and sworn," in another the words were " A. B. was presented ar.d retutned to serve the office of bailiff," and in the third he was said to be " chosen and sworn." Sure a word had been caught up from ends of the former and inserted in this latter document; the words i " elected" sad " chosen" being synonymous and of similar • signification. Now the' question the Jury had to try was, I whether upon tine face and. from. the terms of these documents it 1 appeared that the right of appointmer.t lay in the Lnrd of the. Manor, the appointment being merely recorded or confirmed br 1 thetJ ury, or whether the documents did not rather demonstrate that ' 1 the;election vested in the Jury itself ? When he mentioned the right of sppointnient, he meant the fact, the former being dependent upon the latter in this case. For his part, he was iuclined to think that the Jury possessed the right, and had exercised the power of elect- • ing the Bailttli as they had not, he could not perceive the utility of the documents that bad been produced. If the Jury thought the 1 custom of the Borough bad been foe the Lord of the Manor to appoint the Bailiff; they would find forthe defendant ; but if they hodieved the contrary to be the fact, and that the Jury had been the parties who were in the habit of electing that officer, their ver !diet must be for the Crown. The Jury, without hesitation, found a verdict for the Crown. RIDGE v. 11`ZAY. lklr. Comes opened the pleadings, and 111 r. ERSKINE stated the ease to the Jury, and said that the question for their consideration was, whether or not the defendant had acted as a trustee to the turnpike roads leading from Basing stoke to Stockbridge, without having previously qualified himself by taking the oaths as by law appointed ; and if he had done so, what amount of penalty he had incurred, or in other words. how often lie had committed those acts which subjected bins to penalties under the existing Statutes 7 The Acts of Parliament which ap pointed those penalties were first passed in the 29th of George and continued down from thence to the present rime. In the first Act trustees of made were nominated--some of them becoming so by virtue of their office, among whom was the Bailiff of the Bo rough of Sto:kbridge. By . a Statute passed in the 4th yen of the. present reign, the qualifications appointed in the former Acts were confirmed, a id it was further enacted, " That no person shall act as Trustee or Commissioner of Roads until he has taken an oath in the presence of another Trustee or the Treasurer or Secretary to the trust, that he will to the beet of his power and ability discharge the duty devolving on him in his capacity of Trustee; and it is farther provided, that any person acting as Trustee, without having duly taken the oath above recited, shall forfeit a aum of M. for each and every act he shall so perform without having ohtserved the necessary qualifications.'' All that was necessary, on the part of the prosecution, was to prove these two facts, that the defendant had acted as a Trustee, and that he had not qualified himself to do so by taking the necessary oaths ; and if he could establish those facts, he should expect. a verdict in favour of the plaintiff Mr. Sergeant WILDE admitted that the defendant had served the office of Bailiff of Stockbridge in 1824. Mr. William Henry Attwood—l am clerk to the trustees of the Basingstoke road, by Popham to Stockbridge, and have seen the books in which the proceedings of the trustees are entered. I was present when the defendant was sworn into the office as Bai. liff of Stockbridge, for the year 1824. (It was here intimated by Mr. \Vilde that the defendant could not have been sworn, as, being of the Quaker persuasion, he had an objection to taking an oath.) Mr.lll`laay did not dress like a Quaker. I have seen him at our church. I can tell by reference to my boobs that the defendant attended a meeting of the trustees of the Basingstoke Road on the 13th of September last. After the business of the day had con cluded I saw him sign his name to the memorandum of the pro ceedings of the meeting, as was customary with the attending true tees. lie also signed the minutes of the proceedings of the trustees of the 27th of September; he did so on the 16th of Nevember last. I saw him attend the meeting of the trustees on the 27th of January in this year, but he did not then sign his name to the minutes. I can swear there is no entry in the books of Mr. laPliay having taken the trustee's oath, aerequired by the Statute. • • Mr. Janke LITTI.rDAtI charged the Jury, and recapitulated the facts of the case. Ifis Lordship expressed ' himself of opinion that the Statutes should be esibarrned In • literal manner, fur even' ' it' the plaintiff weriseorballoesuited, it would only occasion further litigation. With respect to the act of trusteeship alleged to have been committal on the Nth of Jan., it was not clearly made out. The points for the consideration of the Jury were, whether the defendant took the oath required by tie Statute, and secondly, whether he performed acts of trusteeship within the time specified in the Act ? The Jury found that the defendant did not take the oath of a trustee. and that he wed in that capacity on the 11.:b of November. CROWN SIDE. Before Mr. Justice datzwt.rd. James Pieria,: was put to the bar, indicted for twisting, with divers personvunknown, on the 3d of June, in the pariah of Mil ton, in this county, in unloading a certain vessel liable to seizure, and unlawfully smuggling therefrom WO gallons of spirits, contrary to :he provisions of the Act of the 43th of Geo. HI. The ildict roost also stated, that James Pullen, Lieutenant in the Coast Pre. vehtive Service, assisted by Wm. Young and NVm. Willisms, had endeavoured to apprehend those persons : and that they were tin. lawfully opposed and obstructed in the exec u tion of their duty by James Pittran, misted by several others unknown. The prisoner pleaded guilty. The prisoner was further charged with shooting at the three re venue officers already mentioned. on the night of the 34 June, at Lob's-hole, in the parish aforesaid, and assaulting and obstructing them in an attempt to seize the contraband goods mentioned in the last indictment. The prisoner pleaded NotlGuilty to this indictment. !Ur. Justice OASELEE said that it wan not the intention of the prosecutor to O'er any proof in support of the last indictment, to which the prisoner had pleaded lsiot Guilty, and 'crawling/iv it be came his thity.to direct the Jury to acquit the prisoner. Not G ihy. The prisoner being called upon for what he had to urge in miti. Ration of the judgment of the Court, for the offence to which lie had pleaded Guilty, Mr. Selwyn recommended the prisoner to mercy, on the ground of his contrition for themffence. Mr-Justice GASELEE passed sentence upon the prisoner, and in doing so observed, that the offence to which he had pleaded guilty—the obstruction of persons legally authorised to seize contraband goods in the execution of their duty, was one of a very grave and serious nature. It was punishable under the 43th of the late King with transportation for seven years,or imprisonment and hard labour in a House of Correction for three years. The indictment on which the priaaner had been charged grew out of the transactions that occurred on the 3d of June at Lob's-hole. and which had been before the Court yesterday in a difforent shape; and after what had been developed of those occurrences on that occasion, he thought there could not be any one that heard him who was nos deeply impressed with a sense , of the danger and illegality of such combinations as there ap , peered to have been formed. It was of importance to the ma. gided o i l n at dlv for idu s a u ls ch en a ga c -e m d e A i t u hey hos w e er i e "e lt a lle iaatttoemapts ver t y o inform' asv puni ere ;liment, more particularly when, as on that occasion, they assembled with clubs, st i c k s , bl u d geons , an d other un lawful ] weapous, in order to effect the landing of contraband articles. Such was the strictness of the law, and so decidedly did it dis. countenance all such proceedings, that it looked upon all who were present, aiding and abetting upon those occasions by their presence, although they took no more active part in the trans , action, as guilty of stunting in the commission of a felonious set. He had already sussed the severe punishment provided by the I law against the perpetrators of this offence, and, if were not in flicted in its fulltat extent, it was only because the prosecutors were mercifully disposed to be satisfied with such a measure of punishment as might eifect the abolition of the crime. In the pre sent case the public prosecutors considered that the prisoner had been unthinkingly led iota the illegal combination and the corn. mission of crime by means of pertains more deeply implicated in I guilt than himself, 'and that at the period of his connexion with them, lie was not fully aware of the magnitude anti extent of the offence. He was also happy to understand that, since his commit ment, the prisoner had conducted himself in a becoming manner, and it was under those circumstances his case had been recom mended to the favourable consideration of the Court ; he was happy to am it would be in the power of the Court to pay attention to the recommendation. emanating from the clemency of the prosecutors. The Court, oat this !account, would not inflict the punishment of transportation, and would further make some mitigation in the quantity of imprisonment it was cmotent for It to award, The prosecutors had displayed singular forWarance not oily in recom mending the prison er to mercy, b ut a l so in a bandoning the capital part of the charge, and he trusted the prisoner would show himself sensiblojof the mercy he had teetivcd,'and not unworthy of it, by in ftuure acting with more circumspection, and abstaining from the commission of illegal acts, or joining illegal combinations. The sentence he should pronounce upon the prisoner was that of im prisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction for the apace of one calendar month, (The above case formed a part of the system of smuggling pur. sued on the coast, and was closely connected with the transactions developed on the trial of Lieutenant Pullen, which excited so ex traurdicary AVAlAtira in this part of the country yesterday.l kORTIZERN ClRCtlit YORK, JULY 16. this day, about half• past four o'clock, Mr. Justice nAlr L wr, and Mr. Heron Ilur.r.ocx arrived in this city, preceded by an un usually nu merons'cavaleade of Gentlemen, besides several javelin men, and a large retinue of the servants of the High Sheriff of the County, John Hutton, Esq.

The business was then adjourned to Monday next, at nine o'clock in the morning. • The Calendar contains the names of thirty-six persons for trial, • but the crimes are not marked with peculiar atrocity. We are as tonished, however, to find, that not ksa than one-third of the pri- L soners are charged with horse-stealing. HOME CIRCUIT. HERTFORD, FRIDAY% wrlncier a. MORGAN. This case lasted until six o'clock. The Jury retired for an hour deliberating on their verdict, which they delivered at the Judge's lodgings. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 10001. Alt. Sergeant Tabor tendered • bill of exceptions upon the ruling of the Chief Justice. SATURDAY. JULY 16. At half put ten o'clock this evening, the Assizes for the county terminated. Thomas Rees, a shoemaker, aged 22, was indicted for malici ously setting lire to a house anti premises at Bishop's Stortlord, on Sunday. the 17th of April, and also for sending threatening letters to the parish vestry. This awe excited extraordinary interest in the county. A model of the preinises and the surrounding houses was placed on the table. The prisoner was rell.dressed, anti answered to the arraignment with a mild. but firm voice. Mr. ANDREWS, Mr. Anotrnus, and Mr. BRODRRICL, con ducted the pro s ecution; and Mr. JESSOP, Mr. LAW, and Mr. Pince, the defence. Mr. Ore, an attorney, living at Bishop's Storford deposed that M... Francis the prosecutor had a house at Bishop's Storford. Three tires had happened at Bishop's Storford in March and April. A meeting was convened, and a committee formed for discovering who were the incendiaries. A reward of 500 guineas was offered for their detection, I remember the fire on Francis's premises on Sunday morning, the 17th of April, about four o'clock. There were faggots burning in Francis's kitchen ; they had been placed in a cupboard under the staircase, and a large candle with a large wick. There was straw in the wastehouse4 red and white wheat straw ; some ears corresponding were found on the prisoner's premises. Allasider was placed against a wall at a distant part of thepremises, but it did not appear to have indented the ground much where it rested. There was a house between the prisoner's fa ther's'. and Francis's. Cross.ezamined.—There was a passage in another street by which a person might have had access to the premises. if the wind had blown that way, the premises of the prisoner and his father would have been consumed. Mr. Francis stated he lived in At orth.street, Bishop's Stortford ; that he and his family retired to bed at eleven, on the night previous te the tire. I keep faggots in my wood-house. I Mad no straw. I had two ladders in my wash-house. One was found placed against Patmore's wall. I was alarmed by the ringing of my bell, and a cry of fire, between three and four on Sunday morning. I saw the prisoner in my gravel walk after the fire was extinguished. I missed rome teaspoons, which were in my back pkrlour on Satur day night. There was a smell of rosin among the straw. The wile, daughter, and main-servant of Mr. Francis deposed to the same facts. Aline Francis added, that she saw the prisoner at The time of the fire, in front of the house, with his nightcap on, and:, without a coat, and he told her of the fire. After the fire she saw him again near the wash-house. Mr. Bruce, a chemist, living between Frantis's house and the prisoner's, proved that, in August preceding, be had sold the pri. sorter R phosphorus box. tioss-examined.—l have sold fifty others to fifty different people since. There are many inflammable substances in my shop, of course, liquids and solids. Alt. Brace stated that being awoke by an alarm of fire on that morning, she looked out at the back window, and saw Sees stand ing at the foot of a ladder, looking at the fire- Ile was in his own yard. The maid-servant proved that she saw Rees at the foot of the ladder, and that he said, "Oh dear Oh dear ! What shall we do 1" . _ It was proved that a letter addressed to the Committee at the Vestry, passed open through the Stortford post office, where a wafer was put into it, and it was delivered to the Committee. The letter was read as follows by 51r. litrepp ; " To the Committee at the Vestry.—Revenge is sweet; we defy your poiice nr your 11,09/. We are strong; you are weak. If Sonic and Dunnage do not come home, Stortford shall be laid in atheist I sin their Captain and leader, and see are sworn toxevenge. I alone ant possessed of a secret to fire any premises at one hundred yards distance. So watch on. There are three of your Committee' who have made 'lternaelves very busy on this occasion, whom we have sworn to send to Paradise as soon as possible, and stop their piping in future." Mr. Mullins, a stationer, at Stortford, proved that he told prisoner a sheet of cartridge paper, similar to that on which the letter just read was written. lie also.sold him a sheet of foolscap. Ile had examined the , parcel of paper since, and the water-mark was .. I Rump, 1824 : ' - r Cross-exam med,-1 publishes] the hand-bill for the reward, and my name was to it. John Turner, servant to the prosecutor, proved that he found • letter lying by the chancel door of Stortford Church, and ahow ed it to severai persons, on the Monday after the fire. John Fuller proved, that Rees met him on the Monday evening after the fire, and asked him if lie had nut found a letter, and where it was found, and where it was, and if it contained any thing about flames of fire reaching the clouds. The witness stated in cross-examination, every body in Stortford was talking about the fire ; and added, that on the morning of the fire, he got into Frantis's premises over Fatmore's wall, to give assistance, It may be remerkrd here, that former witnesses had stated this to be impracticable. The Learned Ballow observed, there could be no doubt there were other means of getting into Francis's premises, than by Rees's passage. James Coward proved, that on Monday evening, after the fire, he RAW the pi:sonar go through the church-yard. Cross-examined—l had a difference with the prisoner about a love affair. • Bishop the Bow-atrectoffiee, searched In Rees's bcd-room, and found a leaf of a Rietory of England about Faux's conspiracy. A phosphorus box was found in the privy. Cross-examined—l believe there is SOOT. offered as a reward, but I have nothing to do with that. I have been too long en the police, to he mixecrup with that. The prisoner being called on for his defence said, he was per fectly i innocent, and left his case to his Couns'l. tnesses were called, who gave the prisoner a good character. Mr. Baron Gamest summed up the evidence for the Jury, in an able and perspicuous manner, and remarked that if they felt themselves bound to come to a conclusion, and affirm the prisoner's guilt: there could be little hope that mercy could be extended to him. It was, therefore, a case to which he begged they would give their most attentive consideration, neither allowing themselves to be swayed by the enormity of the crime, or the consequence of a conviction. The Jury consulted a short time, and returned a verdict of Not The prisoner was again indicted on the statute dth Geo. IV. c. 54, for sending threatening letters. The evidence in this case was nearly similar to that in the former. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to be transported for life. The business on this side was not over until near eleven o'clock. CORONER'S INQUEST. Saturday an inquisition was held at the Shakspeare's Arms, Shadwell, on the body of Mary Ledley, whose death was occa sioned by mortification, arising from a severe beating by her hus band. The Jury having heard the evidence, the Coroner summed it up by telling them, that if they thought the woman's death it. stilted from the blows etc had receiVea, witheMi any Imtritioll on the part of the prisoner to have produced such a result, they would pronounce hint guilty of manslaughter ; or, if they thought the attack had been made on his part with a malicious design, they would return a verdict of murder. They returned a unanimous verdict of " manslaughter" against the prisoner. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS, •T THE COMET OF COMMISSIONERS OF BAHERCPTS, BASINGHALL-STREET, TO-MORROW. TIMID MEETINGS. ff.
