On going to the door, the knocker continued to play, although no person was near it ; at the same time the e . ock iu the ba•use began to strike. The person suspecting some one was playing him a trick, immediately had the knocker taken MI the door, beat about with a hammer, and laid un a table, when it began to perform its operations, in conjunclion with the clock, ■nd continued without intermission for the space of an hour. On the Wednesday following, at the same hour, they were again alarmed by the same unusual noise, without being enabled in any measure to account for its cause. Some old women in the neighbouihood were el much alarmed, as to mention the necessity of reading prayers to avert the judgment that seem ed to threaten them, or to prevent a recurrence of the same, which they fully expected yesterday, at the usual hour.

On Tuesday mor — iiiit6. at two o'clock. as Mr. Cheerly, an Attorney, was returning to his house in Broad -street, Carnaby-warket—in passing through St. Martin's -court, he was much alarmed at a wo man running out of the house of Mr. Kenelly. man's mercer, in the broad part of the court, with nothing on but her Amite ; she addressed him, by saying. ..

L4NCASTER LENT ASSIZES.—MAacn 31. Before Sir St ;ox LE BLANC. M4LICIO('S 'tsetse v. at:tty. 11119 was an action which was brought by the Plaintiff, Mr. James Collier Hatter, a young mita. just of age, egaimit Mr. Richard Bury, to recover damages for r 1118111:1011• 'W094E41104. it Wil.4 stated by Mr. Serjstoit Coceet.t., that a graver or more serious caax.„4 , ver came before a Court. Happily for the' Plaintiff, the injury ill tended him by the Defendant had failed, his cha racter had risen superior to it ; but the cooduct of the Defendant was not, on that accouillk the less deserviug of severe auiruadvers.on. The action was liar preferring three indictments for trimly against the Plsintil, without the least probable cause. The Defendant was a &raker, in Man cheater, and had some time since failed in busi sines. ; at the time of his failure, the 11141111111 was his indentured apprentice. Before the Defendant had obtained his certificate, he attempted to be, trade again, under a different firm ; but sisspici in falliug upon lion, the Commissioners took po— sessiou of his property. This proceeding, o f f the part of the Commissioners, gave rise to an action, to ascertain whether the property taken by a thent helot - I;rd to the Defendant ? It was tried in London, aud the Plaintiff was examined as a witness. The cause terminated, us justice required. sgainst the Defendant; and, from that moment, lie became the determined enemy of the Plaintiff. The first step lie had recourse to, was to attempt to vilify rod degrade the Plaintiff in the opinion of a merchant, w lio was about to take him as a partner. lie represe.ited him as a young man of bad oral infamous character, and stated, that he had the means of proving him a rogue arid a villain. The circumstances oil which he grounded these false allegations, were these :—The Plaintiff, subsequent to the Defendant's bankruptcy, had been appoint ed to make up the accounts, and collect various debts; lie had dune ail, and lid dilly accounted for all he had received. The Defeinfaist, how/rte... charged him with having embezzled certain 1 , 11111., which the Plaintiff had actually paid over to Ishii, and for which he had given his arknowledgmentl ; and, in order to effect his design of ruining the Plaiutiff, he preferred a bill of indictment against him at the Quarter Sessions, which was returned ir.oraessis. He then preferred two other indictments, and, upon his own testimony. got them found s, true bills." Having done this, he procured the Plaintiff to be apprehended upon a Bench warrant, and hail him thrown into prison. He afterwards hurried Oil the trial, before the Plaintiff could have time to advise wit:i a professional frieud, nr procuie the attendance of a single witness. Upon the trial, unprepared as the Plaintiff wit., the Jury, by the direction of the Bench of Justices, larmourably ac quitted him; and so satisfied were the Bench of the motives which had actuated the mind of the Pro secutor, that they directed the Plaintiff to lie fur nished with a copy of the indictments, to enable him to seek redress in a Court of Law. The Learn ed Serjeant oli,erved, that this wicked man, not sa tisfied with having brought this youth to the Bar of his Country to Ramer for a capital offence. of which 'lie was uticouscious ; boasted that he had nearly transported him, and that he had not done with him yet. Such was the nature of the case ; and, upon the subject of damages. the Learned Setjeaut thought the Jury could not give any that would be considered too exemplary. The Defendant hail dune all in his power to ruin this young man, and to remove him from his native country, as a transported convict. He desire., d the Jury, therefore, to place themselves in the situation of this injured youth, mid give him such damages, as, under similar cir cumstances, they would expect should be given to them. The witnesses for the Plaintiff corroborated every parrt of this statement. Mr. RAINS addressed the Jury on behalf of the Defendant. His arguments went chiefly in miti gation of damages. on the ground that the De. Pendant supposed he had a probable cause for pro secuting the Plaintiff. Sir Sistow La BLANC summed up the evidence with his accustomed ability. Ile was of opinion the rushee of the Defendant had been amply proved, and that it was a case in *lnch the Plaintiff was en titled to such damages as would have the effect of vindicating and establishing his own character, and at the same time of punighing the Defendant. The Jury, after consulting a few minutes, re turned a verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages MI. POLICA. MANSION-HOVIZ.
