We cannot believe that Mr. Spain had that in tention, but certain it is that the effect of his act was in direct hostility to his pacific admoni tions. Does he not know that the most effec tual mode to pacify the people is to inspire them with a confidence in the laws of the land ? Does he not know that the surest way to perpetuate disturbance, and to extend disaffection, is to represent the laws as affording no protection to innocence—as inflicting no punishment on guilt—and that too a species of guilt which, in his own words, " cries to Heaven for ven geance."—Morning Herald. SUMMER ASSIZES. .NORTHERN CIRCUIT-LANCASTER, SEPT. S. JONES V. POTTER. Mr. BROUGHAM stated, that the plaintiff HI this action was a manufacturer residing at Manchester. He was the father of a large family, and held by all who knew him in good repute and estimation. The defendant was pretty well known to every one who attended the Lancaster Assizes. In fact, he attended there every assizes almost as regularly as the crier of the court, and generally in the character of a defend ant. He was a person of considerable substance, and was the owner of several houses. Among others he possessed some houses, the rent of which not being paid, he had sought to levy it by distress, and upon that occasion a most unjustifiable proceeding had been resorted to by the tenants. In fact, the houses had been completely pulled down, and the doors, windows, and other materials of which they had been composed, had been strewed upon the ground. As it seemed there was a dispute to the title to the property, no one had removed the mate rials; but the defendant, hearing that some part of them were to be found in the plaintiff's possession, had gone, in the beginning of March, 1828, to the house of the plaintiff, and requested to search the pre mises. At that time the premises had been searched and nothing belonging to the defendant found there. One would have thought that with that search the plaintiff would have been contented; arid certainly it was not a little hard upon the plain tiff, that in April the defendant had again conic to his house, and, accompanied by a con stable, had desired to make a search. No concealment had been attempted on the part of the plaintiff. Nothing again bad been found in the plaintiff's house, but upon some member of the plaintiff's family saying that there was a beam in the house of a person of the name of Johnson, a tenant of the plaintiff's, thither the defendant repaired, and there he had found a beam which he said had been taken from one of his dilapidated houses. With that beam, or the possession of it, the plain tiff had nothing to do, but the defendant had again insisted upon searching plaintiff's premises, and again plaintiff had assented. It would seem that in a stable a door had been found which had been for many years in the plaintiff's possession, but which defendant had taken away as part of his own property. The defendant had then again searched .Johnson's house, and had found some window frames, which he claimed as his own, although they had never belonged to him, and which he took away, together with some • bricks, which had been purchased and marked by Johnson. Not contented with all that, the defendant had caused the plaintiff to be taken into custody, and to be dragged through the public streets of Manchester to the New Bailey there; when, upon the defendant making his com plaint, the magistrates had dismissed the charge, without calling upon the plaintiff to say one word in his defence. Thus a respectable mail had been groundlessly taken up and ex p ose d a s a felon ; and it was for the Jury to sa y w h at d amage s they would give to th e p l a i nt iff , who, though in more h um bl e circumstanc es th an t h e d e f endant, f e l t equa lly with him the value of a good name and character. Evi dence was adduced which bore out these facts. After which, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 301. Thomas Towers was indicted for feloniously killing and slaying Isaac Dobson, at Nether Kellett, on the 23d of July last. The prisoner was also charged on the Coroner's Inquest with the murder of the said Isaac Dobson. Mr. CLARKE stated the case to the Jury. Thomas Wilki nson stated that he was a m iller, at Donald's Mill, ne ar K e ll ett. W i tness ' s f am ily went to bed on the morning of Thursday, the 23d of July, when they heard crying and scrambling o n the road leading to the Ki r by L ons d a l e roa d . Witness went to the window ; it was ver y d ar k. H e c ould dis tinguish two men, whom he knew to be prisoner and deceased. Prisoner was talking loudly and an grily. He swore very much. Deceased spoke very little, and that in so low a tone that wit ness could not distinguish what he said. Witness saw them struggle together; one of them fell, but which witness could not say. Witness called out to prisoner, and asked him whether he was going to kill the man. Prisoner made no answer. The men then went away, and witness could distinguish the noise of talking and swearing in the direction of pri soner's house for some time. Prisoner lived at no great distance. All then was quiet. Witness after wards looked out to see if he could see any thing of Dobson, but he could not. In about d quarter of an hour he heard a footstep coming from rrisoner's house. Then the talking and swearing began again. 1 hey seemed to come to within 16 or 17 yards of witness's door. Witness left the ►window to put the children to bed, and did not return again for three quarters of an hour. In the mean time ►witness could hear Dobson crying out like a man alarmed; but witness could not distinguish what was said.— Witness went to the window, but the men had gone away, and though he could hear the loud talking, it did not seem to be in anger. Wit ness then saw no more. He get up at four in the morning, and on going out he saw the prisoner's coat and deceased's hat lying upon the step of the door. Near to his house he found the (lead body of deceased. He was quite dead, and lying near the mill-door. That door was about twenty-two yards from the house-door. The body was lying upon the back, with the right hand across the breast, and the left upon the road. There was black upon the eye, and a cut upon the lip, but no blood. Matthew Gardner lived at Nether Kellett, and knew the deceased and prisoner. Had been at the sale with them on the day in question. The morn ing after witness met the prisoner, and he told wit ness that he and deceased had fallen out, a n d b een fighting. Prisoner had then neither coat nor neck kerchief on. Verdict, Not Guilty.

THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND COMMONS OF THE CITY OF LONDON, IN COM- the practitioners' bills enormously, and bring the profession into great discredit with the public, who do not discriminate between such costs and the remuneration for the skilled and necessary labour ; a remuneration which, if viewed by it self, would seldom be found excessive. The cost of legal proceeding s thus produced operates as a denial of justice in an immense class of cases, where the hazard and cost of the remedy form a greater amount of evil than the wrong sustained. The evil may be illustrated by one case, by no means peculiar in its nature : A man some time since brought an action, and obtained a verdict for 241., the value of a horse. Having, in the first instance, paid about that amount to his solicitor (a gentleman of emi nence and respectability in the City), to carry on the suit, he went in great glee to get the amount returned, together (as he supposed) with the value of his horse. The change in the posture of the fortunate, or rather unfortunate, client's features, may be conceived, when he found, on inspecting a long bill which was put into his hands, that he was yet the solicitor's debtor to the amount of several pounds. He gave way to a fit of rage, and with no measured lan guage answered the assurances of the solicitor, that every thing which was correct and proper to be done in this case had been done, and that the bill was invulnerable_ And so it proved. The fact was, that on the first appointed day of trial the cause had been put off, in consequence of the accidental absence of a material wit ness on the part of the plaintiff, who had therefore to pay the day's costs of the defendant. These, with the plaintiff's own taxed costs, amounted to double the value of the " chose in action." MON COUNCIL ASSEMBLED. The Memorial of the undersigned Inhabitants of the Parish of St. Dunstan in the West, Fleet -street, in the City of London, Showeth,—That an Act has lately passed the Legislature for enabling your Memorialists to pull down and rebuild their Parish Church, it being at present in an unsafe and dilapidated condition. That in the said Act powers are given t o your Memorialists to change the site of the said Ch urc h to a more convenient situation if deemed expedient; to purchase such additional ground as may he re quired for that purpose; and to sell and dispose of such as may not be required. That your Memorialists are desirous of bringing under the notice of this Honourable Court the fa vourable opportunity that thus presents itself of effecting one of the most important improvements that can be made within the City of London ; namely, the widening to a sufficient extent the great western entrance to the said City. That the necessity which has long existed for ren dering this great thoroughfare more accessible and convenient for the purposes of trade, has been con siderably improved by the improvements which have been effected, and are still in progress, in the western parts of the metropolis, and which have already con siderably diminished the business of most of the re tail traders residing ►within the limits of the city of London. That the present general width of Fleet-street varies from 50 to 60 feet, but is so much narrowed by the projection of the old church of St. Dunstan's in the West as not to exceed 35 feet in that part —a width which is quite insufficient for the accom modation of the public, and occasions frequent stop pages, accidents, and other inconveniences. That an increase of the width of the street at this spot, to the extent of 60 feet or upwards, necessa rily involves an alteration of the site of the said Church, which can only be effected by purchasing at a considerable expenee premises adjoining the present Church on the north side. That, were not this the case, your Memorialists would gladly effect such improvement at their own cost, by surrendering the ground required without remuneration ; but the circumstances in which the parish is at present placed render this obviously impossible. Being now burdened with a heavy debt, and hav ing to provide means for the erection of an entirely new Church, it will be cut of their power to incur the further cost of providing a new site except they can receive from the public the value of that part of the present site which is required to effect this great public improvement. Your Memorialists therefore pray your Honour able Court to take this subject under your serious consideration. And your Memorialists shall ever pray. Signed by the Churchwardens, Overseers, Inha bitants, &c. September 7. The remuneration to the professional gentle men engaged in this case was trivial. The great amount %vas made up partly in consequence of certain portions of technical procedure which it must be the business of future Jurists to remove, but the excess was created mainly by those fees of Court. This cost and uncertainty is such, that the most respectable solicitors have a per fect dread of going into Court, and seldom do so but with extreme reluctance. In all those cases where the amount to be recovered will not compensate for the hazard of the proceeding, they advise their clients to submit to the loss ra ther than attempt to recover the amount. It is well known that numbers of respectable retail tradesmen in the metropolis have large balances on their books, made up of debts of from 101. to 201. and 301., which they abandon, rather than risk heavier losses byattempting to recover them. It constantly occurs that when a verdict is re covered against a man in feeble circumstances, to make it his interest or compel him to take the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act rather than pay. The operations of this Act, which is about to expire, has, in many respects, been found so favourable to male fide creditors, without pro ducing corresponding advantages to the bona fide class, as to call for the exertions of the trading community to procure it revision and additional securities against the former description of cre ditors ; which securities, it is conceived, might be found without the continuance of the existing practice of arrest on mesne process in its present form. FRACAS EXTRAORDINARY. A few days since a gentleman and his friend ar rived at Cheltenham by the Paul Pry coach, and during a morning's lounge in the High-street, was accosted by an old acquaintance with, " Well, —, what brings you to this fashionable watering place ?" " I only arrived in Cheltenham this morning, replied the other, from London, to settle a little business, and intend to return in the evening by mail; but pray excuse me at this moment, as I am in haste." They parted, and the stranger went to his hotel, from whence he dispatched his friend to one of our visitors, whose company he requested with pistols and a second immediately in a lonely and convenient place. The aforesaid visitor not much relishing the message was either afraid or ashamed to send an answer, and the consequence was a second note, stating that the challenger had travelled from London tout expres to light the party addressed, and gave him one hour to consider of the matter. This was bringing the busi ness to a close, but no satisfactory answer arriving from the individual challenged, the Londoner sallied forth in quest of his cautious foe, whom he found sneaking along a back street near his lodgings. The following agreeable and highly interesting dialogue then took place:—Stranger—" Sir, I have tra velled all the way from London on purpose to fight you, and am determined not to be disappointed— will you fight ?" Answer—" Why, I have no friend here." Stranger—" Well, then, I'll do any thing to oblige you in that way, and if you have a friend at Gloucester or any other town, we will go there in a chaise immediately." Answer—" But I have no pistols." " There, Sir, I can suit you to a nicety, for I have a capital brace at the hotel." Answer (with emotion)—" Why, really, under all circumstances, that is—you see, Sir, I—I—I—" (this sentence he finished with a very unintelligible stammer), which the impatient stranger cut short by— " Well, sir, I see you have no mind to fight i and suiti ng th e —therefore settle the busine ss at once by giving youto a the word, of a he licking carried h is i n f erna l t. r threat into execution , by forthwith instr uct i ng hi s action — confused and stammering fue in the practice of the celebrated new dance " La Galopade," by a vigo rous application of a stout horsewhip to the shoulder of the dancer; who after displaying great agility in a few nimble pirouettes, effected his providential escape amidst the cheers of an audience that was neither select nor numerous.
