In cases of Brunchncele, usually called the llerb)shire Neck, the Antimonial Oil is held in the highest estimation, as being peculiarly efficacious. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDFORD, TUESDAY, AUO. 24. Before Mr. Baron GRAHAM. TUE XING L. ItUTTEE. This was an indictment against the defendant for an assault upon Samuel Linstead and Richard Bedwell, officers in the Excise. Mr. BoLLAND opened the pleadings. Mr. Serjeant Owe Low stated the case to the jury, the parti. claims of which will be seen from the following evidence. Richard Bedwell, examined by Mr. MAURYAT.-1 am an Excise-officer. I had in my possession, on one occasion, a warrant to arrest the defendant Samuel Rutter. A petition was preferred by the defendant for a mitigation of the penalty.— tie paid to East, the other person named in the warrant, the sum of M. in my presence, in May, 1823. He fixed on the July following to pay the remainder. He appointed with Mr. East and me to meet him at the Bell, in Houndsditch. Mr. East was there at the appointed time. I was a little later, as I was unable on account of other business to attend punctually. This appointment 'not having been kept, I went to Peckham fair, in the county of Surrey, to look for him, on the 21st of August. That was the first day of the fair. I found him there attending his booth, which was called the " Freemasons' Tavern." I told him he was not a man of his word, as he had not kept his promise. He said he was very sorry, and the reason he had not come was, because he hadn't got the money. I asked him whether he had the money. He said no ; but if I would come down the following evening between seven and eight, he would pay it, and would be much obliged to me. I accordingly went down in company with S am uel Linstead, an Excise-officer, and told Mr. Rutter I was conic in consequence ' of his, appointment. He told me to walk into the dancing-room (a laugh)—ot into the ball-room, and he would pay me. I (lid so, and then he said, " Those who take money generally stand treat." I told him the money was no benefit to me, I was come down on business, hut I would have a bottle of porter, for which I paid ls. 3(1. Mr. Rutter, and Mr. Linstead, and myself drank it. I then asked him for the money, as I had some business in town, and wanted togeteltecie. - lie asked use whether I had got a receipt, I told him I had, and he said, " Lay it down, and I shall pay you." Accordingly, I drew a copy on a blank piece of paper—not on a stamp. Mr. Lin stead had the stamp in his pocket, anti Mr. Rutter asked me to let hint take it, and show it to a friend of his, which he did, and then returned it to me, telling me to write it on the stamp. I did so ; and then asked him for the money. He said he would come directly, " What a hurry you are in !" I then waited for a considerable time, and asked him repeatedly for the money, telling him I had business in town, and a few minutes could make no difference to him in paying the money. He then asked me if I hail got the body warrant ? I told bun "No ; I did not come there to arrest him." I had come there according to his own appointment. He then said he would not pay me, and made use of the worst possible names, which he applied to me. Ile said we were two informers come there to extort money front him. I said, " Mr. Rutter, lam surprised at you, this is not the treatment I expected ; you appointed that I should meet you here." He then repeated that we were in formers, in a loud voice, and then pointed us out. There were at least two or three hundred persons in the booth at the time. Sonic other people in the room said to us, " You know you are." This was about nine o'clock at night. Rutter then continued to call us informers, and said to the mob, "Give it to them; kill them I" and used more bad names. There was a consta ble in the place with a staff, and Linstead applied to him for protection, and the constable shoved him out of the dancing. room into the drinking-room. I don't know .who the man was. I had never seen him before, nor do I know that he was a con stable, only that he had a staff. I then went' after Linstead, and Rutter continued crying out to the mob, "They are bloody informers, give it to them." I had a black-thorn stick in my hand, which was broken by the people about us. I said, We are no informers, but officers come on revenue business." Rut ter still kept setting the mob et us. I was knocked down, and my left foot was very much hurt. Rutter had seen the warrant and read it in Smithfield. Samuel ',instead was then called, and corroborated all the main facts deposed to by the former witness, and stated that he had been very much hurt io the affray. e d Rutter pea c e_ Chas. Greenland examined.—l am an Exci s e permit writer. I was in a booth at Peckham fair, called the Freemasons' Ta vern, in Augaist last. I saw ',instead there in company 'with another officer. I heard Rutter say, " You have had 5 /., and now you come to receive another." The people abused the officers. Win. East. examined by Mr. Sergeant OrigT.OW.—l am an officer in the Excise. On the 26th of May I received 5/. frOm the defendant Rutter. I showed him the warrant, and he ap. pointed to pay the other 51. at the sign of the Bell, Hounds. ditch. I went there according to appointment, but the defend. ant did not attend. This was on the sth of June. On the 4th of February, 1824, I arrested him: John NI ibis, examined by Mr. 3114111LYAT.—I am an Ex. else officer. I We 14.10 Peckham fair with Be4syell, in August. liedwell asked flutter for the remaining Al. which was due, and Rutter told him to call the next evening and he would pay him. Mr. Am:um/Iva addressed the Jury for the def e nd an t, an d calleofficer caic Itc d Georg ren ti r i g e e i S n a o v n o ti r l y 'of w l iTtg d i e ts ) t, seda'n'sdf°altltoevrnds 's a Stetphneebyaall-nrdooPne;etkinohar. I in fairs. dare s l ay ha th d e a re s m tafr igh a t n i t t i was avebee n at s tatio n ed n at e at time about Ti or 600 persona in the ball-room. They paid a shil ling each for admission. My duty was to keep the door clear. Mr. Rutter was stationed inside to receive the money, about a yard and a half from me. I heard high words between the two prosecutors and Mr. Delah unt , Mr. Mutter's partner, respect. ing the payment of some money. I went up to them, and told them that was a very improper place .to break the peace. I was a peace officer, and could not allow it. They said they were officers, and required my assistance. I said, " If you be officers, I am surprised at your breaking the peace ;" and I asked them for their authority. They said they were revenue officers.— The witness went on to state that the defendant bad, front first to last, believed with the utmost propriety, and had never used any offensive language towards, still less h a d h e treate d t h e officers with violence, either by gesture or otherwise. Two other persons, named Joseph Powell and John 'Walter Griffiths, deposed to the same effect. The former described himself as cook on board the Royal Sovereign Ramsgate steam packet, and the latter as a special constable pf the Thames l'olice. Both these persons denied that the defendant had be haved with any impropriety towards the Excise-officers, or that, he had used any offensive Language ; but in some of the colla teral particulars of the transaction they varied materially front the statement ot' the first witness. For instance, the latter ad.. mitted that lie saw Savory push the officer out of the booth. Ile also admitted on his cross-examination, that for the last four years lie had never done any duty as an officer of the Thames Police, and that in fact he had resigned his situation. although he considered himself still as a special constable. His present employment was that of a surveyor and road-keeper. Mr. Baron GRAHAM, in summing up the case for the Jury, oheerved, that they had a very painful duty to discharge on the present occasion, inasmuch as their verdict, whichever way it was given, must condemn the witnesses on the-one side or the other, as persons who had come forward to commit the most wilful and corrupt perjury. Ills Lordship must leave the case to their discrimination and good sense, in order to find their way to a just conclusion on its merits. The Jury, after deliberating for some time, retired to consi. der on their verdict, and after being out for a considerable time, returned a verdict at the Judge's lodgings of Guilty. TUE lING V. SIR JOLIN VIIILLIUOILE AND LIEUT. Awnniew IMEw. This was an indictment against - the defendants for an out. ragmen: assaith upon Mr. Richard James, author of " Naval History of Great Britain." The peculiar circumstances of this ease, which have already been fully before the public, ex cited considerable interest, and its discussion was expected to afford some amusement ; but as the hour of trial approached, a negociation took place between the Counsel on both sides, which ended in an arrangement, that the d e f en d an t s s h ou ld submit to a verdict of guilty, and pay all the costs of the pro. secittion, which, it is supposed, will exceed 1001. A Jury was now sworn, and. Mr. ADOLPIMS, who wale Counsel for the prosecution, informed the Court of the arrange.. ment above.mentioned ; and that Mr. Holland, who was Coun sel for the defendants, was instructed to consent on behalf of his clients to a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Bot.r.arm rose and informed the Learned Judge, that he was so instructed, and accordingly a.verdict of Guilty was recorded. James Sewell, Michael Howe, and Alfred Townsend, were indicted on the Coroner's inquisition with feloniously slaying and killing John Oxley. It appeared in evidence, that the deceased and the prisoner were at a public-house at 3litcharn : on Sunday, the 4th of July, and that Oxley being in liquor, and of a quarrel some temper, insisted on fighting with the prisoner Sewell, which the latter refused, and even when knocked down by Oxley, refused to fight him. He then left the public-house, and was followed by the deceased, who still insisted on quarrelling,_ although the prisoner offered him a pot of porter to be friends, but the other still pursued him, and at length his temper was raised, and a pugilistic battle took place, which the witnesses proved was a fair stand-up-tight: After fighting tbr 10 minutes, Oxley received a blow on the throat, which proved the cause of his death. It appeared that Sewell showed the greatest forbearance, and was the first to get medical assistance for the deceased. The other two prisoners were their seconds. Under these circumstances, the Jury, by the direction of the Court, acquitted Bowe and Townsend, the seconds, and found Sewell guilty of manslaughter, who was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. Alfred Leach, James Barnett, Richard Smith, John Dillon. Thomas Smith and James Miles, were indicted for stealing from a bleaching-ground at Beddington 30 pieces of printed muslin, value 601., the property of Samuel Makepeace. On behalf of Dillon a case of clear alibi was established ; and the Jury brought in a verdict of Nut guilty for him, Barnett, and Leach and Guilty for Miles and - the two Smiths, but re commended the younger Smith to mercy, on account of his youth. Miles and Smith were sentenced to transportation for seven years, and the boy Smith to one year's hard labour in the. House of Correction. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, A uo. 21. (Before Mr. JtitliCe BATLEY.) ELLIOT V. HARDY. Mr. PARSE said this wasn replevin brought against the defendant, for wrongfully taking, under a distress, the goads and chattels of the plaintiff, upon Alnwick Moor. There were 12 avowries, of which the substance was, that Alnwick was tin ancient borough; that a right of comnion had been granted to the free burgesses or Alnwick by William de Vesci, in the reign of Henry IL ; that the plaintiff was not a free burgess of Alnwick; that be had therefore no right to pasture his cattle on the said common ; that the defendant was a free burgess, with aright of pasturage on it, and that he had therefore dis. ' trained the cattle of the plaintiff which were wandering upon it. The defendant also made cognizance under the Duke of North umberland. To these avowries there were 7 pleas in bar, stat ing, among various other facts, which, to an unlearned person, appeared to be introduced for no other purposes save those of contusion and mystification ; that the grant of the right of the cthoemilli'locinen;.sfcriont? the earliest Corporation tiine o of t. Alnwick; de ti V ia e t memory the Corporation had enjoyed and exercised the right of appointing a hard to take care of the cattle on the common, and of allowing him certai n s ti nts upon i t i n remuneration of his services; that the plaintitl . was at present the herd appointed by the Corporation ; that he had, in consequence, a right, as their servant, to depasture a certain number of cattle upon the common ; that the defendant was no freeman, and that, even if a freeman . , he possessed no right to distrain on the plaintiff's cattle. Mr. BROUOTIAM—They were perhaps aware that in the neighbourhood of the town of Alnwick was an ancient moor of more than 3,G00 acres in extent, called Alnwick-moor, or Aydon-forest, a piece of ground, which from its vicinity to the town of Alnwick, was of great convenience to its inliabi tants. The questions which the Jury were impanncled to try, related to the enjoyment of aright of pasturage upon that moor. It not being denied that the Corporation of Alnwick had exer cised the right of appointing a herd for many generations past, the real question which they would have to try would be, whe ther the plaintiff' as the herd of the Corporation, and not as a freeman, had a right to claim pasturage for a stint or more on Alnwick-tnoor. If he should succeed in making out that right, he should succeed in every point which he wished to carry. Now the extent of the moor, and the tight of the free burgesses to depasture upon it, were not immaterial to the question which they had to try ; for If the herd were appointed to take care of the cattle, it was only reasonable that lie should be paid for his services in some way or other; and the best way of payini4 for them was in the way which he con tended that the herd had been paid for many generations back, by receiving a right to pasturage upon that common. The witnesses were principally, old men, who deposed that they recollected the moor from their infancy—that the herds, who were sometimes freemen and sometimes not, had been al ways allowed stints on the moor, and that they had never heard any objection made to such a practice till lately. The free men at present had each a right to stints on the moor; for merly they had a right to five; that number was found to be too great, and had consequently been reduced. The number of stints allowed to the herds were found to vary from 4 to 16. One herd, who had been allowed to pasture two cows, a gallo- , way, and twenty sheep on the common i. had employed one of the witnesses as his servant—he had gtven him 31. 10s. for wager, a nd had allowed him, by a species of subinfeudation, to pasture ten sheep on the moor. (in cross-examination, it was extracted from him that the corporation had built a house for the herd on the moor, which was still standing—that they had been involved in a lawsuit with the Earl and Countess of Northumberland about it more than 60 years ago; that there had been more than one dispute between the Corporation and the illustrious house of Percy about the royalties attached to this moor —that the Corporation had granted leave to a clergy man of the name of' Romney to turn his beasts upon the moor—that he had turned them on till the freemen - had ob. jetted to it—and that the herd had brought his action in the County Court against a freeman for his fees, but he had failed in recovering them. The books of the Corporation were then put in evidence, and several appointments of herds from the year 1600 to the present time, made by the fbbr Chamberlains, and four and twenty men were read to the Jury. In every case a right of pasturage was granted to the herd; in some money also. There was one entry into the books, whereby the Corporation threatened to disfran chise certain free burgesses, who had failed to pay the herd's fee, in case it were not paid by a specified day. Mr. SCArtLETT then rose to address the Jury for the defend ant. The defendant was a freeman of Alnwick, and as such claimed right of common upon Alnwick Mo or . The Corpora- Aion claimed a right to appoint a herd to take care of the cattle upon that Moor; and that right his client did not at present • intend to dispute. They claimed, however, a further power— namely, that of giving a right of common to their herd ; and that too to any reasonable extent. The defendant considered the gift of this right of comment to be an encroachment on his own rights and those of his brother's burgesses; he had therefore distrained on the herd's cattle for the purpose of disputing It, and the result of that measure had been the result of the present action. The plaintiff's evidence proved that they had letten pasturage of sixteen stints to one man, and of four to another; that they had granted part of the Moor to the herd, which he had enclosed by their orders, and on which they had afterwards built him a house; that they had further granted him leave to take hay of another por tion of the moor, and what was more material to the considera tion of the Jury, had allowed him even to levy a sum of money from the freemen for every head of cattle that they sent upon the moor. The mere right of common could never have given them such rights as they had exercised. The exercise of those rights belonged to the right of soil • and a right of common did not give a right of soil. If, then, the Corporation of Alnwick had illegally usurped the right of soil for many years, as he contended they had, nothing which they had done under it could tend to establish their title to a right of common. lie was of opinion, that lie had proved from his Learned Friend's own evidence, that there was an end to his Learned Friend's case; but in order to render certainty doubly sure, he wouhl now show by evidence of his own, that the Corration of Alnwick, as they called themselves, had not even a leg to stand upon. The three grants of the De Vescis were then put in, They ' were not read, but were taken as read, as was also a grant made to the Corporation of Alnwick, in the time of Henry VI., the order of the four and twenty men, dated 31st of 3lay, 1013, which Mr. Searlett bad read in his speech, and also the indenture of 1762, between the Earl and Countess of Northum berland and the Corporation of Alnwick. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, who in the course of Mr. Scarlett's speech had frequently expressed his dissent from the legal con struction which Mr. Scarlett had put upon some of the deeds which he had quoted, observed, that it was quite clear to him that the Corporatiox had no authority to grant a right of com mon to strangers; but he did not look upon the herd as a stranger. The herd was employed to look after the cattle of the burgesses by the Corporation, to whom the rightful common had been granted for the benefit of the burgesses at large. The corporation had therefore a right to remunerate him for his services, either in money or in some other way. It was proved, that fro m time immemorial, the usage had been to give him pasturage fot so ninny stints, and he did not see that any valid objection had been raised to that usage. Some discussion took place upon this declaration between the Learned Counsel employed in the cause. As all the facts ne cessary for the formation of an opinion by a superior Court had been established in evidence, anti as certain points of law had arisen in the course of It, on which the Learned Counsel had determined to take the opinion of the Court of Common Piens, from which the process issued, and into which it was observed that none of the Counsel engaged in the cause could follow it, it was at last agreed that the Jury should find a verdict for the plaintiff,ed on one of the issues that a r it of common for two stints l: with four guineas dam es, and that they should also fl for each herd (there are now three , was a right of common to a F i a reasonable extent, and such as t e Corporation would grant to them in future.

Captain Field having been honourably acquitted of the weightier parts of the foregoing charges, the Commander-in- Chief would gladly have confirmed the above sentence without observation or remark, if in doing so he did not'feel that he should thereby stamp with his authority as dangerous and per nicious a doctrine as ever crept into the Proceedings of a Ge neral Court Martial.
