Toll 'l' rrrrr se is claimed by per roils bovine a right to the soil for permitting ot h ers to go over it, and requires no coosideration from the proprietor ; Trill Thorough is that where there is a public highway, and the person who claims the toll does something for public benefit—such as re pairing the highway, &c.

In the reign of Elizabeth, the Duke of Norfolk, Earl of Arundel, was attended ; afterwards an act of eestitotion of the property was made to the Doke of Suffolk. By the Charter of James I. it was col veyed to the Earl of Pawls. While in pos. session of the Crown, in the reign of Eliz. 1589, there is found in the Augmentation Oflice a lease of parcel of posseasions of Edw.

On his cress-examination he said. foot-passengers coming in through the gates paid a halfpenny fur a basket of eggs, or butter. or butcher's meat; and the same when going without grocery : no toll for coals or dung. IL Salisbury, Esq. 76. was Mnyor in 1786 for ny,self, and five tutors snore as deputy for others. I rented the tolls four times. by paying 141. a year to Earl Powis. Fourteen townships (which witness enumerated) are exempt from toll, as well as this burgesses of Oswestry. 1 remember three gatee standing. Ido not know that Earl l'uwis repairs the pavements; the streets are repaired by a rate. John Thomas, 77, lived with Mrs. Gsttins, 56 years ago; she rented three gates.

A basket of cheese or apples pays a penny, butter a halfpenny; iron bought in the town a halfpenny : does not know whether grocery is paid fur. Thomas Richards, 82, stated to the same effect as the foregoing. Ann Redrobe, collected four years at the Black Gate. 1 remember a printed paper issued to excite farmers not to pay, till which time there Will no refusal. Mr. Rogers, the Defendant, on December 3, 1817, told her he would pay no longer, and desired her to go to Mr. Jameson, as he had subscribed a guinea in his hands, for the purpose of trying the question. She attempted to stop the team, but young Rogers cut the horses and drove on. But when he had delivered his load, she took away the back-chain from one of the horses. On her cro-4-ezatnination, site said she charged id. for an ass laden with earthenware, and Id. if it ass china ; Id. for a single bar of iron brought into town. Bits. Thomas—On the 3d Dec. 1817, when Mr. Rogers had pitched three strikes of wheat in the insrket, lie refused her the toll. She infor►ned Mr. J.

She had sometimes taken the value ►+f the barley-toll, such as 4s. or ss. from the farmer. Elizabeth Owen collected the tolls at New Gate, and paid rent 14/. 14a. Whenever resistance was made, she took the bridle from the person's horse. Her receipts were sometimes 5/. or 6/. on a fair day, and ss. or fit., on a market-day. John Francis has known the gste•toll paid 60 years. Ann Redrobe, in answer to the Judge, said there is nut any Isar across where she collects the toll, nor is her house ou the spot where the gate ori ginally stood. The Plaintiff's case he►e closed. Mr. JERVI*. for the Defendant, said that the case. like a piece of shot silk, ban exhibited many colours. The declaration contained 17 counts, some stating that the Plaintiff was " Lord of the borough," others " Lord of the Manor," others " Lord of the town ;" some claim toll for grain " brought, pitched, and exposed to sale. and sold and delivered;" others " for goods exposed to sale and sold in the town and borough ;" another for tolls on goods " delivered in the manor."— The (:unused then quoted Lord Coke's opinion, that market toll is payable no " goods actually sold." In 1 Tee. Rep. 160. Toll Traverse is called a toll on goods passing over lauds of another, and not lying in a highway or street. And it bust be proved to have had existence prior to legal memory, namely. the year 1189. It must also be proved that the soil is not another's. He ap pealed to the Jury .whether these two points had keen proved. The tint document which had been adduced was of the date 1302 ; and with respect to the ed point hr read an extract of a document of Edward I. 1284, iu which the Morse 'fulls are given by that King to the " Mayor nod good men of Osweldstree." for repairing the wells.— Now, if the the tolls were granted by Edward 1. to the Mayor, its liB4, how could the Earl of Arundel the seised with these tolls in 1301 ? nor is the possession of the two " shops" in Leg-street any answer to the question. In the stet. We►t. an. 1275, " For the suppression of outrageous tolls and divers encroachment'," et wimettacted. that unless by custom time out of mind. " no toll shall Ise taken on goods before sale." But in this CM ‘e. 1141 is taken before sale. The absolute s o vereignty of an ancestor was attempted to lie shewn, by his pardoning " Welsh rebels." But as he in that case assumed more than his right, it muy be pre sumed he did so in other instance►. The Perliasurioary Survey. which had been brought forward. states. that toils shall Ise on four fairs, mid on mai kets. Mondays awl Fridays; but in these tolls usurpations have manifestly crept in. Mr..lsavls, in an able sal argumentative address, took a view of the whole evideOce ; and cnutended that the small expenditure "hewn in the Steward's acconsits, fur paving Willow Gate, viz. Ns. iii 1764, and 13s. 9d, in 1767, were nut sufficient cosisiderations fOr Toll Thorough. E.

Mr. Justice Ittowtosos reviewed the evidence. and stated that the two points for the Jury were, with regard to the toll on grain pitched in the market, and the toll on waggons passing into the tows,. He left it for them to consider whether the tolls its now collected are such as did beloug to the Earl of Arundel—whether the tolls et the gates, now taken down. have always been collected -•-whether they have always existed, and the public never had a right to papa without payment of them. The Jury in a few momenta returned a verdict for the Plaintiff. IVIIITRLAIV AND WALSH'S HISTORY OF DUBLIN. -...m...-. We this day conclude our extracts from those interesting and vialunble eninfaes : EDMUND BURKE. The Right Hon. E. Burke wai'born in Dublin, January 1, 1730. His father was • respectable Protestant attorney, who had removed from Brief, county Limerick, his native town, and settled is Dublin. Parke received the gronnd work of his education at the gasket Academy of Ballytore, near Carlow, under Abrahem Sheckletno, which distinguish. ed school has been continued ever slice by Sheckleton's immediate deeeendants. He himself •ever after crossed over to Ireland without visiting the family of his old pre. eeptor. From Ballytore Burke entered Trinity College, where he was made a scholar of the home in 1746; lint he sever studied at St Omer, or professed the Roman Catholic religion. He married • daughter of Dr. Nisgent, at whose Bosse he was domesticated. By this Lady he had an only son, Richard Burke, whose premature death hastened that of his father. ••••• • • • • A well-written life of Burke is still a desideratum in British biography. All the family of Burke were men of talents, and distinguished themselves, though at an awful distance from the head. His brother, William Burke, was Recorder of Bristol, sod published some pamphlets, esteem ed in his day. His son Richard was just beginning • pro mising career in Parliament, when he died ; toed his cousin, Burke, was • political writer of some eminence. HENRY BROOKE. This gentleman was the sou of the Rev. Mr. Brooke, of Bantams, county of Cavan, Rector of Killiercar, lee. He was educated at Doc-or Sheridan's sc►ool, and seat early to Trinity College, Dublin, from whence, at the age of 17, he removed to the Temple. In due time he was called to the bar, and practised in Dublin as Chamber Counsel. After some time, however, he returned to Eaglsad, took up his residence at Twickmb•m, and became the friend and com. peaks of Pope, Swift, Lord Littleton, and Lord Chatham, by whom he was introduced to Frederick Prince of Wales, who skewed him many marks of good-will. Under this patronage he wrote Gustavus Vasa; or the Deliverer of his Getenhyr. This noble drams was first prepared for exhibi tins at Drury-lane, bat w►en every thing was ready for the representation, the Lord Chamberlain interfered, and pro hibited it. Mr. Brooke sow returned to Dublin, and as the authority of the Chamberlain did not reined to the Irish stage, the ploy was prepared with great care for a Dublin audience, and was represented, for the first tinse,al Aungier street, in February, 1741, where it was received with the highest applause, and kept possession of theaters for many yearn. His Next play was The Earl of Westasorloutd ;or the Betrayer of his Conslry, as a companion to the former, acted alto is Dublin, for the first time, in the year 1741. The independent spirit of Mr. Brooke's dramatic muse seemed ill to accord with the thee government of either England or Ire land. la 1748, his piece, called Jack the Giant Killer, was brought nut by Mr. Sheridan at Smock-alley. It was, as usual, highly relished by the audience; but the nest day an order was issued by the lords Justiee• p►ohibiting the farther representation of it, and she play was accordiagly with drawn. The piece continued I reflections on bad Governors, which the Shea Administration applied to them selves. Mr. Brooke, after enjoying the *tibiaes of applause and from a public who admired his talents, and respected his worth for a long period, received a violent shock by the death of his wife, which impaired his faculties, and clouded the evening rays of that geoids whose me ridian was so brilliant. He became as enthusiast on religious subjects, and died in Dublin, October 10, 1789. His talents will be justly appreciated perhaps by the es timatiors in which lie was held by his cootenepuraries. He is mentioned with distinguished praise by many. B. White head thus characterises him in reference to Stiakspeare— " Lured by his laurels fading bloom, You boldly snatched she trophy from his tomb; Taught the declining Mare spin to soar, Aud to Britannia gave one Poet more." GEORGE FARQUHAR. G. Farquhar was born at Derry. is the North of Ireland, in the year 1678, and entered the Unive►sity of Dublin in 1694. His father dying scent after, he was left to follow the bent of his own inclinations, which led him to the stage. He appeared at Smuck.elley Theatre iu the year after Isis entrance into College, and commenced at a salary of a week. His first character was Othello, in which he gained some applause, though he had prisons! defects which pre cluded the possibility of his ever rising to eminence as an actor—a weak voice which nobody could distinctly hear, and a timidity which nothing could assure. Ile was, how ever, drive,. from the stage by s wily &Screw cause.— Ile was performing the part of Grammer, is The I sdkin Emperor; by some negligence he fudged to change his sword for a foil, and when Ire encountered Vasquez, he severely wounded a Mr. Price; who played that character. Ile now determined to leave • profession which reudered hiss liable to a• accident he deeply felt and deplored, sad be applied Irinsaelfoolely to write ter the shage. He soon composed Lore surd a Bonk, and set out from Dublin, with the manuscript in his pocket, to try his fortunes is another couutry. This play was well received ifs Loudon, and he soon after pro doted This Constant Couple, which had ■n astunielinie run both in England and Ireland. He bail now obtained • com mission its the army, but he felt ass irresistible 1111111411fily to retinas once mule to his native country, and play r•unspicuons part in (rye of his own celebrated comedies. For this purpose it was necessary to oblate the periete:aion the Duke of Ormond, the then Viceroy of abide was granted. By his su mud attempt on the IJs.bsin stage lie gained more profit thsu fame, add is after 'darned to England. where he was persuaded to sell his commission, ott tlor faithless promise of • Nobleman, who piotlered to pro cure loin another. The fe ',strati tttt of Isis hopes looke his heart. He prematurely duel its 1707,1 easing Lebiml bile character, as ■ dramatic writer, a hich shed • haw.- his motive country. It was said, that be leas valets so much liberty with his country sad his profession, iu some of his conselies, that had he not b•ra an hideout's and a roldier, hr would have berm called to • severe account fur it.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. A great many robberies have been committed at the east end of the town, and the adjoining villages, for some time past, by a set of thieves who disguise themselves in the dress of fila:iers, which character they assume fur the purpose of plunder. Their system is a new one, and as yet has answered their expectation to the fullest extent.— lley perambulate in couples the respectable streets, and when they see a pane of glass cracked, no matter in what part of the house, one of them, carrying a rule in his hand, knocks at the door ; if the servant will open it, Ise will take care to inquire if her master be at home, and if answered in the negative, he will then tell her the gentleman ordered him to mend ft window, and he came to measure the passe.— If the master be at home he will apologise, saying he made a mistake, but otherwise he will readily gain acce , s, and contrive to get the servant out of the room on pretence of procuring something necessary fur their operation; and its her absence the thief will hand out something valuable to his companion nn the outside, who will carry it oft Amongst the sufferers by this species of plunder was Nicholas St. Croix, Esq. of Hackney, to whose house a frw days ago a sham glazier gained admittance, who stole a valuable geld watch, sad • large silver tea pot, out of the pirlour.
