This cause was tried by a Special Jury, and lasted nearly the whole day, frt m the number of witnesses esawnned : but, althongh it excited conidderalsie in terest in the neighbourhood from whence it came. it was not of much public importance. It was an action of ejectment, br .ught to recover the 71nsses sion of a term in the parish of Barking, on the ground of breach of covenant, for not well culti vating, carrying off the straw without brirnTing back the manure, and cutting down timber sapling. The plaintiff had Linty purchased the estate of Sit Edward Hulse, su:ject to the d-fendant's lease, which had four years to run, and the ground wa, lest at 11. per acre, 'which was 21. per al.r.um less than it would at present lett her. The plaintiff wished to avoid this lease, under the alleged forfeit ure in not well cutivating. Several witnesses, to the part of the plaintiff, staded a variety of dilapida tion on the premises, and proved several acts of sell ing the straw without a r eturn of manure. On the other hand, a greater numb er of witnesses swore, that no farm in the county had been beret ed, or bore better crops. But what moie particu larly interested the leasors in behalf of the defendant was the circumstance, that he and ins ancoti rs had held the farm in question under Sir Ed Hulse's fa mily long before the Revelation ; and a receipt was pro 'need, in which the Vicar of Basking, on the year t6.e, acknowledged the receipt of vs pounds for tythes from Groebnais Miller, his great grand father. The Jury found a verdift for the defrnd4nt, at which magi) , of the auditors clipped their heads. CR. owls MAIMING. Pterici Inside was indieted, under Lord EL LIN , . BOROUGH'S AR, for having, on the 26th day of De cemuer, wilfully and maliciously cut off the hand of James Clemenson. Ihe prisoner WLelian was a pa trole and watchman in the parish of We•t Ham. Ck .sevison deposed, that on the 26th day of De. cember, he was drinking at the Two Brewers, Stratford. The prisoner CA/He in very much in li quor, and abused the Witness, telling him, he owed him a gra•lga for two years, and would pay him some time or other. lie behaved so ill, that he was wined out of the house. The prisoner, however, came back, about eight o'clock, and then Clemen win was sitting at the door: the prisoner immedi ately laid hold of him, and swore he would search him, for he siispeaed he had pistols about hini. The witness said he might search if he would. Übe prismwer said, Noo, he should go before the constable. He immediately (frogged the witness across the road. As the prisoner was very drunt, !k! dragged the witness about a great deal, upon which he laid hold of a rail ; the prisoner imme diately made A blow at hi n with it cutlass, and cut the hand ol£ except a small ; iece of skin which held it. Two other witnesses confirmed this state ment: one added, that the prisoner's wife was standing by hint, and that she gave him the cutlass after Clemenson Lad hid hold of the tail. The defence of the Prisoner was, that he had given the cutlass to his wife a short time before wiuo the sheath on, and that when she gave it bock he supposed it was also sheathed ; and that with that impression on his mind, he struck at his hand, not mea.,icts to do the mischiaf that had hap pened. • Several Gentlemen of the county mid the pri soner was a very ercel:ent patiole--that in several instances he had behaved with great spirit, but never with any mess. The Jury found Id I. Guilty. SATURDAY, JOLT 21. _ . TUC KING e.

The Learned u ire observed to the Jury, that the first question for them to decide was, whether a sr-cific agreement was made for 20 guineas, which i, hey found in the af fitmative, their verdiet would be for the Pleintifsy but if in the negative, they would then have to decide which of the two sum wa, a fair compensaion to them, and of which they were the best juoges, a• in habitarts of the city, and as the majority of thaw had viewed the ledgir.g.; in queserin.
