THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers ) Aug. 11. [THE TIMES.) It would betray an unworthy estimate of the intrinsic spirit and power of Greece, to augur any general bad consequence to her fortunes from one untoward accident. The news from the Morea, by way of !ante, is of the most encouraging na ture. ..Colocotroni and the other malcontent Chiefs haying returned to their duty, the Go vermnent had recovered that strength which their insubordination had suspended. The seat of the Executive and Legislative Body was the formi dable post of Napoli di Romania, and the pro ceeds of the English loan were all they wanted to qutilify them for commencing a course of decisive measures against the Turks. Although it is sufficiently obvious to every man, that a nation which depends on foreign aid has little chance of ultimate security, it may nevertheless happen that at some one conspicuous crisis in public litruir9, a single individual, and he a foreigner too, may work the most important advantages. Our illustrious countryman, Lord Byron, did more for Greece than perhaps any one of her own MS' energy and authority laid the foundation for adjusting those personal differ ences which since his death have been composed. Its ,devoted enthusiasm and masculine genius raised and ennobled the national spirit„while • they quelled the sordid acrimony of party. — Where, alas ! is the successor of Lord Byron ? Where among the surviving treat men of Eng land will be found, us there was in him, the instinct of freedom and heroism ? Where the coin. bioed ascendancy of the poet, the warrior, mid the statesman ? The British Government, n ow t t h is guise of neutrality, has done Its Ut• Must to, paralyze the Greeks. No soldier, nor seaman, nor civil servant of the Crown, dares to raise his arm for them or to offer them his coon sl. yet there are, we trust, without and be yond the pale of office, liuglishmen not wanting to the cause of human liberty, on whom glorious examples are , not lost, and upon whosti well taught minds high principles have not been vainly inculcated. It would be worthy of such men, the offspring 'of• such a country as this, to hear their part ut so momentous a crisis, to aid in erecting one more outwork to that moral fortress of which the citadel is here, and to renovate the worn out East by that vital spirit of freedom with which Englishmen and English models have inspired the whole western hemisphere. [MOttNING eorr.J We fear that no doubt can any longer be rea sonably entertained of the capture of Ipsara by the Ottoman fleet. The Etoile of Monday, which reached us last night by Express, has unfortu. 'lately brought the confirmation which it had ex pressed a dread to find hi the Austrian Observer. It is contained in an article dated Constantinople, July 15, which announces the receipt of official intelligence to that. effect by the Turkish Go vernment. The number "of brass cannons and mortars said to have fallen into the bands of the conquerm's is 200, and that of vessels 100. Of these twenty were in such a perfect state of equipment that they Vk ru to he immediately employed to co-operate in the further operations of the fleet. Of prisoners no mention what ever is made ; either because the Turks exter minated the whole population of the island, or because the Ipsariots themselves left them no liv ing victims to enslave or martyrise. We nre there fare inclined to believe, that the account received in private letters from Trieste, will be found ac curate, mist that the capture of ipsarn, though undoubtedly,a local advantage to the Turks, will only serve to thaw the heroism of the Greeks in a- still more splendid point of view—to kindle fresh enthusiasm among the whole people, and to make even European Cabinets regret that poli tical reasons should compel them to abandon such men to so honourable but to so terrible a fate. [NEW TIME'!., Yesterday the Funds experienced a further improvement, Consols having opened at 937, and closed at 94f, buyers for the Account. The Foreign Securities in general maintain their prices. The purchases in the French Rented made here were done at 101. 50,, whiclfshews a confidence in their supporting their prices in the French capital. The Scrip of the Greek Loan was at a discount of 18 per cent. Cann r Sit PR ENCJ The letters from Smyrna allude to the antici pated decline in the value of the Greek loan ; but the news of yesterday produced compara tively little effect on the Money M ar k e t. It is believed that the remittance made to !ante has not been paid over to the Greek Government ; and It was intended, previous to dm arrival of this intelligence, to cancel the loan and repay the advance to the bondholders, after deducting the expellees incurred in the transaction, which We are informed do not exceed 4 per cent, This determination originated in the differences that have prevailed between the contracting parties, and nut, we are assured, in any alarm respecting the success of the Greek cause. EINORNII4O HERALD.] We have received many letters complaining of the rod e manner ill which the soldiers in St. James's Park stop passengers who have small bundles in their bands, and force them to turn back. Certainly not to allow people with large loads to go through the Park, is judicious enough ; but to stop a decently-dressed female, or man, because they may have a small bundle, is, in our opioion, the acme of folly. If such orders have been issued by the Corrimanderylo-Chif, it will not increase the liking the people • in general have for him ; but to it certainty, it will increase the dislike that too many of the lower and middling order of people 'How entertain to war d s t h e sol di ery, wh„, in the Park, for a length of time, have carried it with a very high bumf, especially to. wards f firm ies with pattent, though the mud of the; gravel walks may have covered their Owes. it is itifficienlly injudicious that the Commander in-Chief should suffer troops to march through the Strand and tip Pall-mall, on the narrow flag ging, in double files, thrusting all descriptions of people, whether male or female, well dressed or ill dressed, off the flags into the kennel, without adding to such injudiciousness that of which our letters complain. The rude manner in which the marching through the streets is effected would surprise his Royal Highness, if he, like the great mass, were compelled to walk.— We have too frequently seen elegantly dressed ladies, and well-dressed men, thrust off the flag ging into the coachway, even on a muddy place, by soldiers, in their passage from the Bank and other public offices, down Cheapside, Fleet street, the Strand, end up Pall Mall, to St. James's Barracks. We should much like that the Duke, accompanied by an elegantly dressed female, appeared in the situation we have de scribed, on a dirty day, such as is often experienc ed inlLondon ; and that neither the Commanding Officer of the Guards nor the soldiers should know the Duke, and that the soldiers should thrust him and the elegantly dressed lady into the mud. The Duke might then have some faint idea of the hatred such treatment necessarily ex cites. But it is one of the misfortunes attend ing Royalty, that in general it knows but little of what is passing in the world. It is supported in splendour—it rolls along in its showy car riages—scarcely knows how to walk, it is so unused to it—it is surrounded by parasites- and flatterers, whose only motive for flattering, even to fawning and sycophancy,is to wheedle Royalty out of as many good things as are to be obtained. We recommend the Duke to give these griev ances a serious consideration—first, to insist that the soldiers, in passing through the streets of London, shall march in single files, and keep to the right; and, secondly, we would recom mend the Duke to perambulate occasionally St. James's Park disguised, so that the soldiers should not recognise him, and be his own judge as to the rough manner in which they stop decent females in damp weather, and force them to take off their pattens, as well as the rude mode in which they turn people back, merely because they may have a bundle, a bag, or a few books under their arm. We have often been delighted, when reading the Arabian Nights, at the de scription given of the Caliphs and their Viziers going about Bagdad and other places in disguise, in order to see with their own eyes what their understrappers were doing. We would recom mend the Duke to do the same thing. If the Crown enforces regulations too strictly, by means of its soldiery, it runs the risk of descending from the rock on which it ought to stand—the liking of the people. We are the more surprised that the Duke of York should suffer such pro ceedings, for let any One, however poor, write to his Royal Highness, as Commander-in-Chief, and he will immediately receive a reply, through the medium of the Duke's Secretary, Sir Herbert Tay for. [mottNiNG cllltoNlcLl.] M,%ntt►n, Jur y '26.---'l'o satisfy your curiosity in the way of Spanish news, I can give you the fol lowing:—Yesterday we had the first row between the French and S pan' sh troops, which ended in the loss of two lorvnch and seven Spaniards— , nine killed, and inany wounded—enough to she w the ill blood that is gathering. It took place in the Gale Rance:mil. Neither women nor wine had any thing to do with it. I happened to be in the neighbourhood at the moment, and saw much of what passed. Not a single per son on either side had the appearance of being in liquor—the French soldiers were loud in their abuse of the Spaniards, calling them by all manner of names as they went by. The latter showed great forbearance, I thought, afraid, no doubt, of their Government, ivho, besides mutiny, will call it rebellion against the King's authority to displease the French. An air of mystery is given to every thing that happetts here ; the ori gin of this affair may have been accidental, but many say it is part of a plan laid by the Royalist party, as the French are expected to be with drawn to the Ebro, to intimidate the King to retire with them, and leave them (the Roy alist) unrestrained in the capital, to riot in the plunder and murder of the Constitutionalists, unarmed and overawed by the French. They go further, awl say that the . French soldiers are en couraged to assist in kicking up disorders, the object of which is to alarm the King and Queen, by making Madrid appear unsafe. lie these sto ries true or false, they are believed by the mass of the people, who always dread the worst. That the King will follow, or ra ther precede the French, there seems to he a general impression, in which case the Clergy and Don Carlos will be rulers ; and woe be to even the suspected of thinking liberally. Ido not believe the French will retire. Things get more unsettled every day ; the unfortunate people of Spain become more wretched and perplexed ; those who have any thing to lose, and value tranquillity, are kept in perpetual alarm ; no man, bight or low, has any security for person or property ; poverty, ignorance, and rags, are the only guarantee against oppression. The earliest chance of a change is, that the soldiery will soon make an other revolution, but will it be for the better ? Worse it cannot be; they are now without half what is promised them ; the common soldier gets rations and half his money allowance, but the of ficers are often for months without the means of paying for a dinner.—Yesterday the barrack rooms of the guardian reales were found rolulado on the , walls with the following verses ; us it must have been done by the soldiers, much has been said about it : "RI Rey holgando. (The King iillYamusing himself.) "La Policia robando. (The Police robbing us.) " La Religion va alrevez. (Religion going the wrong way.) " Gonque viva la Constitueion °ire vez. (So live the Consti tution again.") . _ _ The Nrificaciones, that fertile source of Spanish oppression, has produced another trial of rubbery on the weak and helpless ; the pensions of widows and orphans are ordered not to be paid till ti►e deceased are purified . ; so that the widow or children of a man several years in his grave are to lose their subsistence, because ao informer, whose name is concealed, is found to Say that he rbmembers him to have been a litibvral,,or all y I fling else that comes first to his mouth ; even the charge or nature of it is not told to the sufferers ; the Junta is satisfied of its sufficiency, and that's enough ; the widows and orphans may go on the highways. Its a common sight now to see very lady-like women going from door - to door begging, with well-dressed children following them. Of 400 persons In the gaols of Alicante for political opinions, 40 were liberated, in consequence of the indult° ; the remaining 360 have •been tried (se les formo la causa sin oirlos, y se mando a la sala de crimen a Valencia, y se espora breve las resultas.) You will remember that Ali cante capitulated to the French, who guaranteed the people against persecution.—Here is French honour! ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. BURY ST. EDMUNDS, MONDAY, AUGUST 9. CIVIL 81DE.—Beforc Mr. Justice °MELEE. PRUSHUII V. SYMONDS. This was an action brought liya --- braei and carpenter of Newmarket, against the defendant, a barber of the same place, to recover a difference (in account) of 11. 19s. The case was " Newmarket" all over ! The stake was " feather weight ;" the witnesses all " sharp an my spurs ;" and the very Attorney's clerk in the cause sported a white hat, and a crimson neckcloth, and cleared the gate-post by ''the eighth of an inch," as he drove his master's rumble tumble into town. Mr. U. Coors:lt (for the plaintiff) suggested that Mr. Symonds took rank as a perripier—for " barber," and even " hair-dresser," were now terms grown obsolete, or out of fashion. 11e (defendant) lived ut Newmarket—a town of jockies, as Duke's.place in London was a town of Jews—and had stayed long in the second grade of his calling, operating humbly upon the heads and chins of grooms and post-boys, until success had made him ambitious to practice upon those of their masters. An ally-residence being unsuited to am ! bitinus views like these, the defendant had moved from his back-street into the face of day • and dashing out at once to the ' utmost reaching of his soul—which was, the being a top tonsor in " the High-street," and l e ttin g edgings to Al. P.'s in the race time—he had employed the plaintiff to furnish and fit up a house for him suited to such purposes. Now, for fitting up the apartments, which were to contain the M.P.'s, and (more over) a snug little shaving shop on the ground.fioor (for the de fendant could not all at once afford to give up his old friends, the ready money customers), the plaintiff had charged only 331. which was in fact giving away his goods,—and his work afterwards, to have them taken. But although 201. had been originally paid without objection, the pertinacious powderer of caxons now scrupled the odd 131. lita. ; and refused to pay more than 121.—a sum ..which the plaintiff's honour forbad him to accept. The particulars of the plaintiff's demand were then put in and proved ; involving " bed-side carpets," " painted wash hand stands," " double japanned candlesticks," and a great va riety of other articles', destined for the benefit of the Al. P's.— The chief dispute arose, however, upon a charge for " parti tioning off' a little shaving-room," which was to separate the defendant's gentlemen customers from the more profane popula tion of the training stables." Several witnesses (in trade) were examirigil upon . this paper, whose dress, appearance, and demeanour, Uiffbred altogether from those of the more sane, and less sporting, divisions of society. All the people, of whatever calling, looked like ostlers or stable-boys. The carpenters wore eight handkerchief's apiece about their necks. Hair-dressers mounted " frock -coats, under-waistcoats," and blue or yellow " stocks." Not a person would take his oath on any thing short of a pair of top-boots ; and one rogue handled the swearing book as though it had been the Racing Calendar. Mr. STORK'S, Or the defendant, threw the blame of the ac tion upon the plaintiff, whose joiners' work, he said, was as objectionable as his bed-side carpets and mahogany tables. The plaintiff, in short, was a man not fit to put up a partition for any body. • IVitnessea were then called for Mr. Symonds, wlio swore that the plaintiff's work and wares were the worst they had ever seen. Others were called for Air. Presher, who swore that his work and wares were the beat that they had ever seen. Mr. COOPER, in reply, urgml the late period at which the de fendant took his objection. The plaintiffwas concerned in the matter, not on account of his money, hut on account of his cha racter ; for were lie to accept the defendant's tender, all. the world lama, with one voice, cry out—" See that fellow ! he charged 151. Ills. for putting up a partition; and now be is forced to tette 21. leas th a n his demand l" • Verdict for the plaintitr—Datuages, 1/. 4s. I'ISHEIL V. I'ZYNINOTON. This was an action far money lent and advanced. The sum claimed was 1001., and a note of hand bad been given; but from some defect (it was said fop the amount of the stamp), that document could not be madervidence. • The curiosity of the case lay in the management of the defence. The plaintiff's at torney had written four letters to the defendant front Ipswich to London, demanding his client's money ; to which the de fendant had taken the precaution of returning no answer what ever, and the plaintiff was now obliged to call, as ilia only wit ness to prove the loan, an old lady whom he knew to be in the interest against him. The shrewdness and self-possession with which this witness conducted herself during an examination of near an hour was very extraordinary. Iler unwillingness to give evidence was so obvious, (notwithstanding the respecta bility of her appearance and demeanour), that the Judge al. lowed her examination in chief to assume the shape of a cross examination ; but no effort could shake her. The inference was against all she said ; but still it (as far as probability went . ) wan h g er u , it ore initr o sls v i e bi h e er e i i n the tl r. ie t s o li:l e i t tes a r n ioi l l i t i nt at d e i r e ia ti l o a n d . t s f i t o e r r i labouring hard for almost an hour,:Alr.

THE DUES OF SOMEIti)::T vi TUE HUNDRED OF MEJtE. This was an action to recover damages' for loss sustained by the plaintiWin consequence of the malicious setting on fire of two houses, alleged to be his property. The fact of the houses being set on tire about one o'clock on a calm night, was fully established • but a'question arose as to the right of the noble plaintiff' to bring his action, he being ad witted to have only a reversionary intere s t i n th e p re mise*. A verdict was t a k e n for the plaintiff, subject to a case on the point of law. BROWN v. DALT.YMORE AND OTHERS. Mr. Serjeant PELL said that this was an action brought by his client, who way a man in the humble walks of life, his oc cupation being that of a gardener, to recover compensation in damages for an injury Inflicted upon him in consequence of the negligence of tlie defendant's servants and which disabled the poor man from pursuing his employment. The witnesses would inform the Jury, that' on the lad of December last, the plaintiff' was proceeding in his cart towards Lavington, on the Bath total, when be heard a van, which belonged to the defend. ants, and which ran between L on d on an d Bath, coining be. hind him. He took care to place his cart on the side of the toad, as far from the middle as it was in his judgment neces sary to remove it, in order to allow the van full room to p ass . However, the driver 'of the van not taking advantage of the space that was left him, tho u ght p ro p er to approach so near plaintiff's cart, as to render their contact absolutely unavoida ble. The consequence was, that the wheel of the van struck the off-wheel of the cart, and ao violent was the concussion, that man .who was witting in it winctuttibled out, was instantly o verturne d, an d the poor the far weaker body and his le • broken. g The conduct of the def en d ant ' s servants was wholly inexcusa ble ; the road was p er f ectly well able to acco mmodate the two vehicles, and therefore there was not the least pretence for the driver of the v an to aOnie near the cart at all. The only excuse, indeed, which c0u11 , .-be offered for such misconduct was one which could be of no avail in that Court—namely, the intoxication of the driver. On the contrary, if the dri , ver was proved, as he had reason to believe he would he, to have been in a state of drunkenness at Ott time, it would be. hove the Jury to visit negligence arising from such a cause with the greater severity, as they would see that there might be calculating the iniscblefs which might be produced from allowing persons who had the care of such vehicles to lose that power over themselves, and that capability of guiding their horses, which even in the open day, and under the most fa. vourable circumst ances, must be kept i n constant exercise, in order to guard aga i nst danger. Application was made to the defendants for redress, but the answer was that they did not dare about damages, as there was a Society of Proprietors who would bear the expence of such actions. The facts stated by the Learned Counsel having heen proved by the witnesstat for the prosecution, Mr. Sergeant WttnE, on the part of the defendants, called the guard and other witnesses who 'gave testimony of a contradictory nature. The Jury, however, after a short consultation, returned a verdict teethe plahafr—Daniages 2901. Mr. Baron (smotow—.l think it right to observe,, and th e present case furnishes an exaiuple of the truth of the obierva don, that the formation of societies or bodies of coach proprie. tors, for the purpose of resiating, at the common expenee, web , actions as the present, highly to be reprehended, as being calculated to do a great d ea l o f mischief to the public. The se. eprity of peasuns who are obliged to trust thomaelves to the skill and attention of coachmen and guards is necessarily an • important object of public policy ; and whoever threatens to diminish the means of continuing that security, as doubtless such combination does, must be viewed with the greatest jealousy. YORK, MONDAY, AUGUST 9. Before Mr. Justice 13AY.LEY. T. WHITE V. ARNETT AND OTHERS. Mr. JONES opened the pleadings, and Mr. Serjeant CROSS stated the nature of the trespass and the assault committed by the defendant and others on the plaintiff: The defendant pleaded a right of entry, justification, &c. on which issue had been joined. The Learned Serjeant then addressed the Jury, and said, the defendant was a Quaker, and a money-lender, ank had taken care to secure a great portion of talent on the Northern Circuit, for the defence, if a defence could at all be made to an act of oppression and violence. The plaintiff, said the Learned Serjeant, was one of three sons of an opulent farmer, who had left him about 100 acres of land. Tile plain tiff', after the death of his father, had got into difficulties ; and, to find his way out, had recourse to the defendant as a profess ed money lender, who had taken an advantage of his unfortu nate client's poverty, and got possession of th e w h o l e property he possessed in the world, under circumstances the most ago nizing in their nature that had ever been brought before a Court of Justice, and which he would presently shew by the testimony of the witnesses he should have occasion to call.—. The defendant, continued the Learned Serjeant, had got into possession of the plaintiff's property, and turned the whole family out of his house, after the most solemn engagements on his part that they should enjoy the humble asylum their po verty had driven them to, at a rent of 101. p er y ear . Th e Learn ed Serjeant then cited part of a letter from die defendant, couched in the following words : " C. B. Walker and m yself hive waited on thy broth er Richard, and agreed that William shall continue on the farm ; and that John and thy mother shall live in Bell's house," The brother, said the Learned Gentleman, then advanced 700/., and also joined with the brokers in promissory-notes to the amount of 3001., making altogether 1,0001. For this ad vance the brother was to have an assignment of the stock of the farm and crops then growing. The party was then to have 2 years to pay the money in. An execution was afterwards put in ; on hearing of which Richard White came down and pro tested against and forbid the sale. The defendant, however, sold the goods, and had said to the plaintiff, " I mean to dis inherit thee this day (11th May), unless thou wilt sign the paper . I have brought thee, which if thou dust, thou mayst then remain." Ile ,would sign•mi such document ; when the defend ant, at the head of a constable and at least 20 other persons,. made their promise good, and on the evening of that very day turned out the plaintiff, his brother, and aged mother, with their children, into the highway, and under circumstances too of the most aggravating kind. For this cruel trespass and assault the present action was brought, and which, the Learned Serjeant said, called aloud for heavy damages. To prove the defendant had entered wrongfully, and committed a violent assault, the Learned Serjeant proceeded to call John Atkinson—tie lives at Sand Hatton ; it was in the oc cupation of William and John White • they were in possession on the I Ith of May last ; he had li ve d in it for some time, but quitted it to live in another; his wife lined in the house. JUDGE—The plaintiff's mother Witness—The whole family lived in it at that time ; I saw Mrs. William White come out of a field; she asked witness to walk in ; I asked her what she wanted ? this was between 7 and 0 in the evening; she said it bailiff of the name of Joseph Morris, under the defendant's direction, had come with an other to turn her out of possession. JUDGE—WWI the door open ? Witness could not say ; believes it was when Morris first came in ; Pickering was the other's name. There were eight or ten persons with them, and more came in afterwards ; there were Jarvis, Voting, Flower, and others present. William White asked what Pickering came for? he said under Mr. Arnett's direction, to turn them out of doors. John White and his mother were there; William's wife and six children also; William was smoking his pipe. Mr. Serjeant Cu o ss—Never mind the pipe. Witness proceeded—lie asked her to sign a simple paper, and said they were tustop in the house it they would give up peaceable possession. '1 h e e defendant mentioned Mr. Bell was the landlord. William White said no such thing should be done, as he was acting on behalf of the family. Arnett then insisted on the constable putting them out, and ordered them to be put out at the back door. Mrs. White said, if they were to be turned out at all it should be at the front, and not the back door. She said nothing in particular more. They then pro ceeded to fetch out John White ; there were at that time 200 persons gathered round the house, and many more ; several per sons had hold of' John, and thrust him out. He put his foot against the door and resisted ; they were struggling together for some time. Mrs. White was up stairs; they proceeded to force her out ; she said it' she was to go out she would go out quietly: Mr. Justice BAYLEY objected. Mr. Serjeant CROSS said he had a right to shew the force. J obit:lE.—There Is no evidence. Witness proceeded—The Constable laid one or both his hands upon her ; she struggled ; she was at last pulled down stairs. Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLETT—Did not know if' Wm. White had been in prison; heard he had, but did not hear of John that lie had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. Is not a friend of the plaintiff—is a friend of no man— (a laugh?—has known William White 30 years, when he oceu , pied a farm under Bell's trustees ; c a n' t sa y w h en i t wa s ; knew him as a neighbour ; she was in the occupation of' ano ther house when her husband was away; the landlord's name was Cooper. Witness•has nothing further to say on the sub ject. He lived about one hundred yards from hum ; can't say the day nor year; knows nothing more about it. Re-examined by Mr..Sergeaat Citose—William and his wife resided at Cooper ti ; the house in question was Bell's ; don't recollect when Williamand his family left Cooper's. Jane Langstaff examined—She was servant to John White and his mother. John. held a farm—s considerable one ; she had been two years with them.- In September lie nave up the farm and went to Bell's; house, and they went to reside there.—. I,lefore this William's family was living at Cooper's, abotit May-day ;it might be a week before she was working in the fields ; she saw Mr. Arnett at William White's house; she did not see what was done; they left. that house; they were put out by Arnett and some others. CrOss•examined by Mr. WILLIAMS-51r. Arnett never paid her wages before May-day last ; she and the other servants re ceived a half year's wages; she was hired to live with John White; she did not assist William; John hired her; there were three servants; they all got their wages at the same time. George Beaton examined by Mr. JONES—He lives at Sand Hatton; knows Mr. Bell's house ; knew the transaction on the 11th of May; it was in the morning, about ten o'clock; he was in the house; the bailiff said witness was not wanted there; there was another person with him in the house; he said if William White would s i gn his right away he should stop in the house until such time they met with a tenant ; the defendant said he would give him (plaintiff) one night to consider of it, and.if lie did not sign it he would disinherit him of it. He SW the family turned out at night. Saw Arnett there, but did not hear hint say anythin,q. Cross-examined by Mr BROUGHAM—They were all in a cluster together; was not in the house in the evening ; cannot swear that George Jarvis touched any one ; he was not a long way off. 'The JUDGE—Did the persons join ? Witness—l can't say; they were altogether; he could not say if Morries laid his hands on any one; but he said the con stable did ; could not say If Arnett said any thing. The JUDGE—What were you doing ? Witmess—l was helping to carry away some corn ; can't say the quantity—perhaps twenty sacks; they took it away in a horse and cart; there were twenty pokes, two bushels to a poke ; took it to Rippon ; Monday is market-day. Thirsk is only three miles from Sand Hatton ; but Rippon is the usual place to sell corn. Mr. Sergeant eILOSS called Francis . Clough—Remembers the 11th of May, and Arnett coming. He aided the plaintiff to sign his tenant ti right away. Saw a great number of people assemble round the house. William White was first brought out; can't say who brought hint out; it was some of them. John was brought out next; Jarvit had got hold of lris leg; he observed him more active than the rest. Another person pushed him behind. The old mistress was turned out; she was brought out by force; can't say who laid hands upon her. ' Pickering had hold of her hands; Astler was among them ; he had hold of her shoulders ; they were turned out on the high way ; this was about seven or eight o'clock in the evening ; he had a constable's staff. Witness was turned out in the morn ing by Pickering. I asked him what authority he had ; lie slimed me his staff. I said that was all his authority ; he said, no, I turn you out by Francis Arnett's authority. Richard '%Viiite examined—He is brother to the plaintiff; John is the elder brother; his father left him lOU acres of land; he died three years ago ; the whole of his estate has been sold to pay his debts. ' A letter was then read from the defendant which purported to be sent to the plaintiff respecting an adjustment with Richert! the brother ' as to the advance lie had made, and the s ec u r ity that was to be given ; on which he was to quit Bell's farm and reside in the asylum for him, and from which he had been turned out. Re-examined by Mr. Serjeant Chose—He paid the 7001. to the defendant, and he joined in three several promissory notes for 300!. more. . Mr. SCAR LETT addressed the Jury, and contended the right of entry was good in law under an assignment made by John William, and which William had assigned over to Arnett.— The plaintiff. Mr. Scarlett said, had borrowed money of the defendant which lie had not paid, and from a judgment he had given to Howard and Walker they had obtained execution, and by virtue of that judgment had entered into possession, and that the defendants had put a justification on the record, lion, a nd their sold t h and that thq had used no more violence than was necessary to et right. eprop T er h ty e S fo h r eLi 2 ff oo h i. ad levied under the eirecu 4 The assignment was then put in and read. It was dated 11th February, 1824. For the defence several witnesses were-called to prove that the defendant held under certain trustees. Mr. SCARLETT contended that a bona * pie assignment in law had liaised between William and John, which had legally passed to the defendant. Mr. Serjeant Cuoss replied to the Learned Counsel, and in a very feeling manner appealed to the Jury in behalf of his lin-' happy clients, and trusted that a Jury of their country would give them ample damages. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and said the only question for their consideration was, had assignment of the 11th of Fe- . bruary been made br John to William, and by his act assigned to the defendant ? His Lordship then cited an Act of Parlia ment that passed in 1676, where a notice became necessary where a patty held a house as well as land, which did not ap pear to have been given in this instance. It was clear that the plaintiff was in possession on the 11th of May, 1824, and if no , assignment had passed from White to Arnett, the entry was bad in law, and the assault aggravated it. The party had their relief at law by ejectment, and a notice to quit the house (though not the land) became necessary. Arnett had a right to. put in execution from the judgment given to Howard and. NValker, and the assignment to the Sheriff was a good one. If the assault was fully made out to their minds, then they would give sufficient damages to compensate the plaintiff for the lost and injury he had sustained. The Jury retired, and brought in their verdict—Donate s ' 300/. costs 40s. 'Phis cause lasted nearly the whole day. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-(STAFFORD.)-MONDAY CROWN COURT.-:—MANSLAUGHTER.

Mr. Justice LITT LEDALE sentence d hi m to O ne Month 't DARING BuitoLAity.—Between two and three o'clock on Sunday morning, the house of alp' COYNE,4I, IVelbeck-street, was entered by some daring burglars, who effected their purpose by climbing from th e area railing by the lamp-iron to the top of the portico, from which they could easily reach the stair-case window, which they - raised, and gained admitt a n ce t o t h e first floor of the house. They thence proce e d e d t o the draw' ing'rooms, and the several a p ar t men t s on the ground floor and basement story, which they completely ransacked, with the exception of ane• small cupboard, containing a quantity of silver plate, which, from the key b e i ng l e f t i n t h e door, they probably passed as no t wor th t h e trou ble of. examining.

It 10 supposed that they must have had a hackney!. coach in waiting for them somewhere in the vici nity. Information of the robbery was given at the Marylebone Police Office yesterday, and Staples, the Officer, was sent to examine the pre- mises, and from his report it would appear that it must have been the work of experienced de' predators.
