Cta.t, aimed, that he bad to 'thew canoe why the issj •lion which had been granted in this cause 5),,,,, Ist he es. ~, i , med. The circumstances were, that ti .e Plaintiff purchased from the Defendant his in- teseiit in the lease of a farm iu Lincolnshire. nod the stock then growing on it. aml in payment gave him his promissory mite for 384/. But before the lease was assigned over by the Defendant to the Plaintiff, the Sheriff seized on the farm by virtue r•f 311 exeention for a judgment debt doe by the. Defendant, The Sheriff sold the Defendant'* interest in the form to a stranger for 341. and the had to become the lessee of the purchaser. The Drfendant brought his action in a Court ~1 L:to to recover 3841. the asiboinit of the pro missory n ote given him by the Plaintiff, and ob tained a verdict. The Paiiiitiff tiled a bill in that Court, for an injunction to ►entrain the Defen dant from eiteming tip judgment, which was granted. The Defrnilant now, on witting in his answer, ansi L tlit that the injunction should Ire ',is- • a dwell. The mower did not deny the allegations of the bal. a. , il he (the. Learned Counsel) had no doubt but his Ilotoitir would he of opinion that the injusietissa shorild he comiiiiitied, for it woold be severe toilreml im the Plaintiff. if he had to 'my 31531. without haiing received any consideration fur it. Mr. AGAR. Counsel for the Defendant, said that, unfortunately fur his client, he was a very poor num, and, in the year 1816, finding that he was not able to keep his Grits on from the pressure of the times then on all tleMll% following agricultu ral pursuits. he sold the remaining terns of his lease to the Plaintiff, and the crop in the ground, for 3841. and agreed to take his promissory note fur the amount ; when it became due it was dishonour ed. The lease, however, wits not assigned to the Plaintiff, as it was part of the agreement that it should .not be aiwignert until the promissory note was paid, the sum-payment of which had much dis trritsest the unfortunate Defendant. and on his pre-sing the Plaintiff for it, he was determined to hold the farm and crop, which he was in posses•iom of. without paying any remuneration for it, and at the same time to get rid of the Defendant; he got. for this purpose, a person to sue the Defendant, who, front his poverty, was not able to defend the action, and 1w was obliged to let judgment gn by default. The Sheriff then 'old the farm under the execution ; and who was the purchaser ? not a stranger at 341. but the brother-in-law of the Plain and the latter pretends . that he became the lessee of this pretended purchaser. Hi* Honour would see from these circumstances the stature of the Plaintiff's case, that it was merely a tt umped up tale. The VICS-CHANCILI.OI-41 I cannot say so, • without •IwulJ appear so in hearing the came on it* merits." Mr. AGAR stated, it was clear to every person of the least discernment. that it was a mere trumped 's') story. and Rot such a one as ought to entitle the Plaintiff to equity : the agreement was made its 1816, and if the Plaintiff had fulfills rl his part of the agreement. by paying the purchase money at the time be promised, he could not lave been affected by the Sheriff's sale. Under those con. 'Aeration* he trusted his Illoinnir would lie of opinion that the injunction ought to he dissolved. 51r. Ilvt.t. replied. The VI,E-CIIANCELI.On—" Let the injunction he etionnued on the Plaintiff's paying forthwith the •tBl/. into Court." Mr. IlEtt—" I hope your Honour will give us time to pay the money into Court, as my client ri-ailes at Lincoln?" The VicL-Cii•ticELLon—" What time do you W3lll 51r. 141.1.—t , A month."

YORKSHIRE LENT ASIIZRS. YORK CASTLE, MONDAY, MARCH 8. CROWN SIDE. Brfdre Sir G. WOOD, A-night. The Court opened at twelve o'clock. The proclamation for the ruporefairm of vice haring been read, Baron Woon detvereil the fol lowing charge to the (;rand Jover— " Gentlemen of the. Grand Jory-11 am sorry to observe so numerous a list of prisoners in the ca lendar—a number much larger than osnal; but I believe that this increase is not peculiar to t his county, but is unhappily too general throughout the whole country. Gentlemen, it is certainly un necessary for me to give any instructions to person , of your experience and knowleilge of the law, with respect to the discharge of your duty as the grand Inquest of this county. There are, however, two or three offences; on which I will say a word Or tWO. There is iii the calendar more than note case of child murder ; on this charge I would e i bm.evo, ►hat formerly the concealment of the birth of a !tartanl child by its mother was by an Act of Parliament •made evidence of its murder. This A; t war thought too peters; and the law 1)y which it wag repealed declared, that the fact of the murder was to be !Droved in the same way and liy the sante rvi deoce as any other fact 1 and therefore Juries can not convict. nor Growl Juries fool true bilk, on the single circumstance of the colicealinent of the birth being proved. You most be satisfied that the child was born alive, and that it died in conse quence of violence, before you can find a trite bill egain►t the party se•cused. The same Act, which made the concealment of the birth no longer con clusive evidence against the mother, provided also, that in 01l these cases where, on a trial for murder, the mother of the child was acquitted of the murder, the Ju►y might, if the fact was so, Jimd her guilty of concealing the birth, which would subject her to any punishment, not exceeding two years' imprison ment, which the Court in its discretion might inflict. But this can only be on a trial, by the Petit Ju►y, on a charge of murder; no indictment caw he found by is Grand Jury for this offence solely ; amd they would not be justified in finding a bill for reorder, merely that die purr! might he punished for the concealment or the birth. About fourteen years ago, a new capital offence had been created by Act of Perlis:tient. by wind' itisliciour etalibing, with an intent to kill. to thimble, or to do any other grievous bodily harm, became punishable with ' death. But it is not any stabbing or cutting which comes under this designation ; fur Mitotic,, out a stabbing arising in the heat of the moment out of a quarrel. It may be difficult, indeed, to determine what is meant by ' grievous bodily harm ;' but the term ' disable' is sofficiently intel ligible ; and the Act provides, that in all prosecu tion, under this Act, if the Judge should he of opinion. that in case death had ensued, the offence would only have beets manslaughter, the party should he found not guilty." His Lordship then made some observations on the case of a persim violating a female child under the age of ten years. In this case, his Lordship ob served, consent or female were immaterial circumstances, and did not alter the nature of the offence. Its one of the cases he alluded to, two years had elapsed beim e any cost plaint had beet► made; this was ■ circumstance which was extraordinary, and which would deniaud the attention► of the Grand Jury. His Lordship said, that the state of prisons was a subject which had of late much occupied the ;atten tion of both Houses of Parliament, and it was one to which he would wish to call their particular at tention. He trusted that they would carefully exa mine the state of the prison, and retina therems to the Court; though, from the character of the Go vernor, he had no doubt that they would find every thing to be correct—at least he hoped so. His Lordship further observed, that it war very desirable that there should be a particular class made of young offeliders, and that they should be kept apart front those who were matured in iniquity ; for, by being allowed to associate with characters of this description, instead of being reformed by the punishment inflicted on them, they came out of prison worse characters than they weut in—with untre inveterate habits of vice, and wins ass augmented capacity of being mischievous to society. TUESDAY. HIGHWAY ROBHERY. nowets Hickman and William Hickman (father and son), were charged with assaulting Thomas Serie and William Lord, on the highway between Pontefract and Wakefield, puttisig them iu bodily fear, and taking from their persons six provincial bank notes, and a quantity of silver coin. Mr. NIAUDE stated the case on the part of the prosecution, and called the following witnesses : Mr. Thomas Serie stated that he was a linen draper, and lived at ‘Viskt field. On Saturday the 9th of January he attended Pontefract market with goods fur sale, and received in the course of the day six pound or guinea notes ;he had al-u a considera ble quantity of silver upon him. Wit litab left Pon tefract, on 116 return to Wakefield, atom a titvir ter of au hour before five o'clock in the afternoon ; he rode iu a cosered cart drawn by a single horse ; he was overtaken on the road by a perom of the name of Lord, who mbar lives at W'aketield, and who was travelling iu the same manner. When they got to the Nash Beck, in the Crofton Fields, which the witness described as a lone place, and very likely to be the scene of a robbery, lie was alarmed by two men rushing across the head of his horse ; at the same moment he heard a voice ray, " Stop!" and immediately two men presented themselves, one on each sitle of him, hods of whom held a pistol to In. head, and demanded his money ; witorss bring considerably alarmed, put Ins hand in his pocket and took nut some Weer, which he gave to the lesser man, who Wllf the younger Pri soner, hut nut content with this booty, they rifled his pockets, and took out the six notes lie had re ceived at the market, and a considerable quantity of silver. Both the men had masks on, and aver their clo. hes waggoners' frocks. In the mom e, Mr. Lord, who had drivers hastily away, to give himself en opportunity of conceiding his wittney, returned to the enigma* of Mr. Serie, but lie had ins sooner uttered an exclainatior. of surprise, then the rubbers hid Inas stand and deliver his money ; he readily give them au eighteen-penny piece, _ ~...:~ which he said was all the motto, he hatl about him - i this, however. ►lid not saltily them, and th►y pro. ceedeit to his cart, and foinall amongst the pota toes the money he hail attempted to conceal, which consisted entirely of silver ; the Prisoners then retreated, hut in order of battle, presenting their arms, and threntre,ing to fire if they were pursued, and they succeeded for the time in making good their retreat. 'rite 'text morning, in consequence of some conversation which the witness had with the constable (Mr. Shaw), a warrant was obtained to search the house of the elder Primmer, who resided at IVaketield ; upon searching the old man, they found upon him the six notes which had been taken from the person of NIT.. Serle ; and upon the son was 10010 the eighteen-penny piece *Vlach had been taken from Mr. Lord, and which lie was enabled satisfactorily to identify : upon the person of the Fotiogrr Prisoner was also fowl(' the key of a pis tol. and Noodlee key which 'whinged to the stat►le of the elder Prisoner ; they elan found in a basket in the chamber, a considerable quantity of silver. Upon this discovery both the Prisoners were appre hended. The Coustahle and Mr. Serie then pro retitled to search the stable belongisig to the elder Prisoner. where they found, concealed tinder some hay, a basket Calltaalllll44 two pi•tuha, both or which► were loaded with ball, eight lead bullets. a powder- Bask filled with line powder, two maskg,:tottl a paper containing some soot. There were also found in the house of the Primmer, two stick•, one of which contained a sword, soil the other a dirk, which sprang out on ruceivilig si sudden jii k, and two smock frocks. The elder Prisoner during his con finement at 1Vakel1?1,1, admitted to Stolle, the constable, that he hail lobbed Seilr, and he di rected him to the place where the rest of his money was deposited, which was nn d i•r the bed he had occupied in tt town prison. Mr. Lord gave a similar account of the robbery, and Mr. Shaw corroborated the part of his state ment which respected the searching of the house and stable of the Prisoner. One of the notes was identified by Mr. Serle, t:ho also stated that he recognised the voice of the younger Prioner, anal the gait or au: rof walk ing of both the Prisoners, which, he Paid, was very peculiar. All the articles found ma the search were produced its Court, and the I•.stol key, which wss fonbil on the younger Pro:timer, was tried on the pistols, winch it exactly fitted. It is but justice to the Prisoners to state, that tl ghc they were pro vided with sn :ar•.rple :an apparatus for carrying on the professimi they unfortunately 'adopted, yet that it was 3p1)11:1' Ili which had not been much in use; il.e masks mere evidently new, as were also the pistols, which Mr. Shaw, the constable, said had never been tired. The pistols were also pro vided with locks to prevent their going off by ac cident. After a vert militate summilig nio of the evidence by the Learned .1 iiilge, the J dry, without besitutiov, found both the Prisoners itonnEra OF TIIE WETIIEII.IIY Thntnas Robinson was char , r,d with striling, on the 3Uth of January last, at IVetherbv, the mail bags, containing the letters fur linareArough, ll irrogate, and ; :inch bags being in the pospeseion of a person ensployed by the post-office fur the cutive) duce of the wait from IVetherby to fling.

The trial occupied the Court from Moe o'clock in the morning unlit about two its th e a ll e ruoon ; hut all that is material or interesting in the case, may he crow es.ed into n narrow compass. At the time this rubbery war coinmitted, the 'nail front IVetherhy, containing the letters for the shove named placer, was conveyed on horseback, by a person of the name of lleojainin Dubroit. These hugs coot:tilted twill the 1.01111011 amid country letters. On Saturd .y. the 30th of Juniairy, about half-post five o'clock in the morning, Dobson re ceived from Mr. Iluuslry, lite post-master of Wetherby, four bags containiug the letters, whirl' lie put into the portmanteau used for that pur pose. and fastened it upon his horse, which was standing at the stable door, about thirty yards from Alr. Huosley's house ; being lonic in his arm, he left the horse to get Mr. servant to assist him to put on his great coat. Oct his return, although he lord not been absent inure than two or three minutes, he found that the straps had becia cut, and the portmanteau containing the mail, taken away. Au ularm was instantly given, and a search alter the rubber commenced. In the course of I°c1 ° c same day, the bags, with the *hole of the letters and newspapi re, titre found in a ouod, about two sulks and a half from Wetherby, culled Notile %Viotti.

A lottery case of a ' , jugular nature was lately brought before tl* Court of Session at Edinburgh, the circumstances of which were as follow :—Uri the afternoon of Saturday the 18th of September, 1818, 111 r. S. merchant in Leith, went to a lot tery-oftee in that town, its order to purchase some sharer' of tickets in the lottery, which hod com menced drawing on the slay I) fore.

Not having money enough at the time to pay for them, he put his name on the back of them. returned them to the boy, and desired him to lay them aside for him, which the boy did. Mr. S. came into the shop agis.ii ab o ut rtght o'clock the same evening, and put the fitly its mind of his shares, who said lie had laid them aside, as desired.

Oii this account he resolved not to seed off the unsold tickets until Siatitluy's post; and early on Sunday morning he sent the boy with the bundle of remaining shares to S.'s house, that S. might choose another.
