This was an action for defamation. The wordsof which the plaintiffeomplained,charged him with having stolen a sheep, the property of one Jackman. The defendant had pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Serjeant PE L L briefly stated the.case to the Jury. The plaintiff's son was the first witness put, into the box.— He proved the uttering of the words complained of; bit having repeated them Its if they had been spoken in the third person, and the' Learned .Judge wishing to fix him to the very terms used, his Lordship.asked the witness the following question "Ii some man .owed-you ten pounds, and you were going to ask him for payment; would you begin by saying, he owes me ten pounds."-LHis . Lordship's object•, however, was completely defeated, when the witness, not understanding the nature of the question, replied, with the most perfectly vacant counte nance, " No, my Lord, I should say, •'please to let me have the money.' "—( Loud laughter.) Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, who seemed no way daunted by the almost immoveable ignorance' bf the witness, appeared to imagine he should be able to make the man understand the question, if it was repeated to him in a somewhat different form, he therefore asked,," But if you wanted him to acknowledge the debt, woOld you say to him, he owes me the money,' or you owe me the money.' " The witness, however, was not one on whonra novel impres sion of this kind could be made with so much rapidity; he patised fin about half a minute, and then looking most comi. cally perplexed, he answered " My Lord, I came here to speak about the sheep, and not about the money" (continued laugh ttr.)—Other witnesses were celled to prove the expressions, and all of them swore that the shepin question had long been in the possession of the plaintiff; who purchased it a year before from a person named Adams.—On their cross.examination,_ they stated that the defendant. had mentioned some marks on the sheep, and had said the plaintiff swore that be knew it for his master's by those marks.—LAU Attorney's Clerk proved that the =defendant had refused to make an apology, and had re peated the offensive words. Mr. .Ser:jeant WILDE, for the defendant, said, attorney's clerks should not be called, to prop up a rotten cause, and con. tended, that. when a servant had a.bona fide belief that the ram was his master's, and having such a strong impression, he was not to be called to account for the words he had used, under such circumstances. Mr. Justice LITTLTDALE told the Jury, that the defend ant's impression, however strong, was no Justification for his charging the plaintiff with having committed a robbery. • The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Forty Shillings. served, thet was growteg late., and h e w oie ld get) . quar ters the nearest wa y. Thy said he should pot go geftnee he gave them up his packet-book. He refused to deliver it, and ;Murphy then seized hini by the shoulders, and both threw hi m down on - the ground ;. struggled violently, and nearly sue. ceeded in escaping from them. Murphy seeing hire resist so much, gave him a blow on t'ne•heati, and knocked hien into gutter. Al`Grath then got his knee on prosecutor's breast, :eel his head on his throat, arid again demanded his pocket: took, • Ile still refused, but finding he was so near " done for" by the nien'squeezieg his throat and kneeling en his breast, he said. " take the purse." M`Gratf . then cried out, " von rasc al, give me your pocket-book, or take yonr life 7;" you prase. tutor, however, still continuing- to refit's,. to deliver it up, 11•Grath said, " you villein, if you don't give the your pocket. book, I'll murder you directly." Prosecute: sekt, den't kill the—take the pocket-book, and be - off:" • .31'Grath then. seized the book and ran away Murphy remained, until sortie was coming up th e s tr ee t, an d then he ran away after the . other ; prosecutor then got up, and having recovered himself, went to the barracks where their regitnent was quartered to find them; when he got there, the sentry challenged him in-the usual ~:tanner, and when. he answered ntxqueeSen, " Who . -goes there?" .by saying 4 a friend," theeenty replied, "Come tin; friend; I know what yoU come about—two Of our men have knocked you down and robbed you, and I was 'order ed not to let you in." The prosecutor, however,. was per mitted to go into the barracks, , where-he found the serjeant in the guard-room, and went with him and a file of. men to the bed-room of the prisoners, where - he found them ; they were then - taken and confined; twenty minutes elapsed - between the robbery and the tithe of his going to the bar. racks. The Serjeant of the Guard took the prisoners into custody ; the pocket-book was found in the cap of M`Grath, under his bed; witness was (lithe sure that he drank no beer with the prisoners that evening; he was in the same rooth with theme but he did not drink with them ; he saw Mr. Way in Castleettreet, and told him he was going home, and they wished each other good night ; there were a few memoranda in his pocket-book, and 19s. 6d. in silver. The prisoners were privates in the Pith regiment. 11`Farren, a private in the Brlt Regiment of Foot, stated, that he was on duty es seetry at theTastle, between the hours of twelve and two o'clock on the 21. 4 th of April ; while he was on duty, Murphy came running up - from Castle -street, and on witness challenging him in the usual manner, h e answ ere d, " It's me !" witness asked him what wiade him be outat that hour, and he said M`Grath had knocked down a sapper, and rob bed him, and Murphy begged' witness, if the sapper came, not to let him in past tfo.• guard; he added, that he was going into the next roll ; witness said, that if the sapper did not report it he would, he would report it as soon as he came off guard ; in about a quarter of an hour the sapper came up, and told what , had happened, and he let hirrvin ; witness did not mention the circumstance to any one until the sapper came. Murphy, on being called on for his defence, declared his in necence of the crime imputed to him, and went into.a very long, and not very intelligibl e , hi s t or y o f hi s n i g h t ' s adventure's, in order to shew that he had-left M`Grath and th e p rosecu t or to . gether, and what-they did in his absence of course lie could not t-11. He had been 11 yearsin the regiment, and always bore a gaod character. M`Grath also protested his innocence. lie said he had been. a soldierfrom his infancy, and had never before been even sue. petted of a dishonest actiore He declared that lie was vary tipsy on the evening in question—so tipsy that he neither knew what he did or said. The Learned JUDGE summed up theevidence, andw.he Jury having spent some time in deliberating, their Foimen at length said—" As we find th a t th e prosecutor and the'prisoners were all drinking and tipsy together, we cannot find the prisoners . guilty." —'he prisoners were therefore formally acquitted and discharged. KENT ASSIZES, THURSDAY, JULY 23. William French was indicted, on Lord Ellenborough's Act, for cutting and maiming Elizabeth, his wife, with a knife, With intent to kill and murder her, at Chatham, on the 19th of July.. Mr. Miewsititet conducted the prosecution. From his etate -merit it appeared that the prisoner had been frequently afflicted with mental derangement, and confined at different periods in the workhouse at Chatham, and at the Asylum at Bethnal green as a lunatic, but allowed to come abroad again when apparently restored to sanity. He had been many years parted from his wife, who lived as servant at a publieehouse at Chat ham. For some time previously to the 19th July, the prisoner had been at large, and on that day he went to the public house wheee his wife was, and whilst she s t oo d at a was h -tu b , he tripped her up, and pulling 3 knife out of his pocket,' declared his intention of cutting her legs off, and on the instant he in flicted a dreadful gash on one of her legs. Her screams brought the master of the house and others to her assistance, and she was rescued from farther violence. Two of the arteries,had been cut through, and but for the prompt attendance of a surgeon, the unfortunate woman must have died from the effusion of blood. The prisoner assigned no motive for his conduct, nor did it appear that he had any. It was suggested that probably the act was committed in a returning fit of his former insanity, and in that view his conduct was submitted to the Jury: The facts of the case were clearly proved. The wretched prisoner fell into an epileptic fit whilst in the dock e and his general appearance denoted unsoundness both of mind and body. Mr. Baron GnattAat left the Jury to say, whether, under all the circumstances, the prisoner was of sound mind at the time the offence was committed, and if they were of ppinion that he was not, directed them to acquit him on that ground. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Not Guilty, on the ground of insanity ; and he was ordered to remain in custody until the King's pleasure should be known. William Bassage; who had been brought frorreSalisbury gaol by liabeas corpus having been ethevict e d at t h e l a s t Ass i zes for that county, and- sentenced to fourteen.years transportation for receiving a horse, knowing it to be'stolen, was now indicted for stealing a dun gelding at Alaidstone, on the 2d November last, the property of Heriry'Floate. Mr. Baron GnaliaMsurraneti,up the evidence for the Jury ; and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. He vehemently exclaimed against the verdict, and declared that he was a lost man in consequence of . the perjury of some of the witnesses. • ' There were three other :chlrges against him of receiving stolen horses knowingly. el YORK, IVET4ESDAY; JULY 27. BOOTH V. HAIGH..—SLANDER. This was an action brought to. recover compensation i n. da mares, for certain slanderoti words spoken by the defendant, of and concerning the plainiiff.L.-Mr. SCARLETT was about to state the case, when Mr. liftousimax said •he had offered a ' written apology, and it had been reftried—M. SCARLET T said the slander had been uttered in a public room, and unless the greatest publicity *as given to the.apology, it would not be ac. cept ed.— Mr. BROUGHAM acceded to apology being made in public, but as he refused to pay the costs, the case went to the Jury. It appeared that on the 13th . May, the parties were at Barnsley Fair. The plaintiff happening to go to the 'White Bear public-house with some friends, the defendant came in, and . sat down near them, and without the slightest provocation, beganso apply to plaintiff expression', which did not like.— After a little time he requested defendant to desist from using such language ; but he still went on usinr the same offensive language, and the plaintiff was at length obliged to leave the rooin, as were some other persons, so tiististed were they at the defendant's conduCt. T. Tighe said, he was at the 'White Bear Inn, at Barnsley, on the 13th May ; he saw the plaintiff and defendant there; Booth was sitting in the room with some other .farmers about 20 minutes when the defendant came in —took a chair and sat near him ; witness was attending on the company ; he saw the defendant push the plaintiff, and at the same time use certain offensive expressions; the plaintiff asked him to explain him self; the the ; as was going ou t, the defendant again repeated the expressions h e b efore made defendant plairitid ' withdrewrepea repeated d from his tl . ) f e ?l r r o n o P which rp r expressions, upon use of. Mr. BROIAJIANI addressed the jury for' the defendant, and drew their attentions, to the fact of 'his Navin ,offered a letter Of apology ; but which had been refused by the plaintiff's soli. citor, who he believed was only anxious to increase hi , bill of costs. A More ample apology could not have been made. -He 'denied that there existed any ground fez the charge made by the plaintiff, who must have becri drunk, or ignorant of what he was saying, or he would not have repeated the offensive languae. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in his address, told the Jury, that they must view the imputation as if it were made on themselves,. and give such calm and temperate damages as would meet the justice of the case. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages M. COUktT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was field, pursuant to pub= lic notice. A petition was presented from certain_ inhabitants of Mark lane, respecting its sewer, towards the expellee of which they had been directed by the Court to pay, in 600/.: They had col lezted 4001., and now prayed the Court to contribute the re mainder; because 13 out of the-41 , houses to he assessed' are the prop:my of the corporation.- 7 • The petition was referred to. the Committee for General Purposes.

GOLD MEDAL TO THE LORD MAYOR. Mr. JONES, at one of the new London-bridge Committee, wished to call the attention of the Court to the propriety of presenting the Lord Mayor with a gold medal, bearing a suit. able inscription, to commemorate that most important event. He spoke of the great usefulness of this class of memorials, which had been found to revive and perpetuate -the• memory of 'striking and •heroic deeds, when history itself frequently fail ed them. Was it not thus with the memorable facts of an cient history, whether Grecian, Roman, Persian, or Egyp tian ? Those medals were then most lasting monuments, and had outlived in many cases all their other documents. He moved for a gold medal to be presented to the Lord Mayor, commemorative of laying the first 4;u:one of London-bridge.— (Hear !) Mr. OLDHAIg said, that the New Bridge Committee saw that it was their duty to take some step of this kind. The cor poration must feel grateful for the splendour and hospitality evinced by his Lordship on that occasion, and it was the most important event which had ever occurred io the citizens now living. The best and proudest memorial which they could think of was a gold medal, which his Lordship might send down to his posterity with feelings of just pride and glory. He thought that, for the inscription, the best way would be to send the subject back to the Committee, with directions to report thereon to the Court. The question for granting the medal was then put, and car. ried unanimously. The LORD MAYOR expressed his high sense of the respect of the Court. It was the farthest from his thoughts to expect any thing than the Corporation for doing that which he thought his duty only—a duty, too, which any man might well be very proud to fulfil—thdt of supporting upon so memorable an occasion the splendour and dignity of the City. Accepting that mark of their esteem which they had now voted him, he trusted that he should never lose any portion of it to whirl► his services hitherto might have given a claim. JoNts moved, that it be referred to the New Bridge Committee to consider and report of a suitable inscription.— Ordered. BARTHOLOMEW FAIR. petition was presented from parties interested, that the first day of the fair might be fixed on the first Tuesday in Sep tember for the future, instead of being held on the 3d of September, on whatever day that might fall ; and the reason chiefly urged by the petitioners was, that the cattle market was prevented whenever it fell o u t on Monday or Friday. The petition also prayed that the passage of carriages of all sorts might be stopped on cattle market days, till after twelve o'clock at noon. Alderman WOOD said, that whatever might be done with the petition, there was one thing which certainly wanted altera tion. In a few days a proclamation would go forth from the Town Clerk, according to a resolution %kat by a Common Council, held many years ago, forbidding shows, interludes, and other immoral and unlawful spectacles ; upon which, however, the Corporation did not shew any great reluctance to improve their funds by taking money far the hire of the ground from the very persons whose exhibitions were proclaimed against. Surely there was something grossly inconsistent in this conduct. If the Corporation were not disposed to refuse the money for these shows and interludes, let them prevent the Town Clerk from issuing the hypocritical proclamation. Mr. Dixox said, that the issuing the proclamation was a business which belonged to the Court of Aldermen, and Might have been discussed last Tuesday, if certain gentlemen, whose business it was to have been there, would have attended the Lord Mayor, and have helped him to make a Court. fie re gretted the increase of that disposition which more and more prevailed to do away with all the amusements of the labouring classes. He had lived to see them one after the other abolished, until there were scarcely any left. He approved of any regula tions which could be adopted to preserve better order in the fair ; but they ought not to do it away. lie questioned much whether they had the power to alter the day, because he be lieved that the charter expressly directed that it should be held on a certain day in September. Alderman WOOD said, that it was not for want of his pre sence in town that the Lord .Mayor could hold no Court. He only left town on Wednesday, and he only 'heard of the sum moning a Court. of Aldermen on the same day. The Worthy Member was mistaken, however, as to his other fact. The order had issued from the Common Council, as would appear from thournals, for disallowing plays, shows, a nd in ter l u d es . %Voodthorpe then read the order which was voted in Common Council on the 17th of June, 1762. Mr. FAvELL would not do any thing to suppress the rea sonable enjoyments of 'the people of England; but it had al ways been understood that Bartholomew-fair produced other consequences. It was fruitful of riots, breaches of the peace, foul and violent disorders. The time of the Magistracy was busily taken up irk hearing cases of outrage and all kinds of immorality which were transacted in that scene of disgusting vice. All parties had agreed that those faits were neither more nor less than nuisances. They had been mainly abolished all round London, the centre of which city was still disgtaced with a spe.ctacle worse than any of them. The LORD MAYOR said, that if the resolution remained upon the books, it Would be his duty to act upon it, and put down the immoral and unlawful shows and sport* which were proclaimed. He thought that they must all feel with him the necessity of doing every thing to reform the morals of the peo ple. In his simple opinion, it would be highly injurious in times like the present, when their was so laudable a zeal to dis. countenance vice among the influential classes, to annul a reso. lotion so deliberately acted upon for many years, as if they 'wished the public to'understand that they gave their countenance to the mischievous and demoralizing exhibitions and practices of that place. If the resolUtion were-nut rescinded, he pledged himself to enforce it rigorously. • Mr. TAYLOR would rather see the order rescinded.• All persons were not of one opinion as to the superior inunotality of the shows in Bartholomew-ftlir. He had seen most of them, and he could safely declare that he saw a great deal more wicked. nets about Covent-garden and Drury-lane theares whenever he went there. He was as much a friend to the morals and reli gion of the people as any man; but he would be no Oaistote in a party made against the . arnuernents of the people, while these of their superiors remained without correction, though needing . it much more. He concurred in opinion with the Hon. Alderman, that it was rank hypocrisy to put their own town clerk to proclaim againq shows and interludes, while they had no scruple to draw a revenue from them. Alderman WArrnalitx said, that he did not believe it was in the power of the Court to put down the fa;r, or to wake any important alteration in the holding of it. The importance of the subject had been felt before now, and the regulations were much better than they were before. The fast question was— could they put an end to the fair ? If not, then he would say, they 4,uglit not to put an end to the more innocent parts of it.__ The shall did not work much demoralization—the wild beasts less. The conjurors and the wonder wor k ers d i d not do any great deal of mischief. The worst evils were the assembling of gangs of depredators, and the youth who were allured into the tippling houses. The drinking and the riots were the worst things in the fair, and the hardest to prevent, so long as th e f a i r, lasted. He believed that the resolution and the proclam a ti on v e qually e absurd. The s h ows cou ld not be been done long si nce .' Th e r i ghts opfoundedfumt down,an y u different o o r n i i t t ww ie u r el s d o n s were concerned. The Court wanted information. They ought to investigate carefully in a case of PRrcv SEvENt;r,rccr. this nature, and see well what they could do(rath cc than 1; astirtl resolutions which might be found impracticable. WithregkrA to the other part of th e p os ition, to sh u t Out carts 'and earriagses on cattle days, it had been tried already, and the experiment • The petitioners, like all other folks, knew well what was cony? • nient for themselves. :The Court must feel for•the public. If remembered well the shutting up of the passage from Long lane through Smithfield, and theinexpressible confusion there was in forcing the carts and coaches to find their way round ire Gray's . ,-inn-lane. People seemed to forget that there was cc other entrance flout the northern side of. the metropolis into't city. It would be another question entirely, if they could re solve upon having a spaCious and handsome road opened, se• - as to give ready access to all the neighbouring cotknties. Thpy Might then 'hope, if not to - brink back the trade of the city, at least to preserve what remained of it.. Mr. GALLOWAY said, that they ought to keep in v i ew the tight state of,the question, which Wale whether the Court could, alter the day of holding the fair to the first Tuesday in Sep • tember. If they had that power, then could they do away wits. • the charter. In his (minion they had notthe power of changint ' the day. He would be for doing away with the fair altogethek. 'No one would suspect him of the wish .to takeaway t!.e amuse 4:i:tents or lesson the injoyinenis of the humbler classes. Tiie ytteation was, did they derive real pleasure and amusement from the deights of Bartholomew fair? He rather tho Light that they did not, and that they grasped other and more pernicious grati— fications from it. The fair might once have been given-.as. a benefit. Circumstances had altered, and now it was a nuisance •and a reproach. They ought 7 therefore to remove the mischief, and endeavour to have the intended good' adminiStcred uz.;ier other auspices. An object so deeply, affecting the essent.W. morality of the people ought not to exist in the heart of a great metropolis, where the riateriel of vice, from the density Of the population, was furnished in such abundance. The same power which generated the evil most be equal . to its removal. This Court ought to take care to make the representations neces sary for the accomplishment of that object. It wis, however, very uncandid to proclaim by their officer against shows, from which they benefitled their finances; nor could he see any at: - vantage from reducing the plays and interludes, unless they abolished the fair, and with it the haunts of drunkennes and idleness, which were the most crying evils. The only innocent amusements were those derived from the shows and play;. They did not draw the people off front reflection and rational cativtr sation ; and it would really grieve him to hear of the pretnaVare removal of the tragic muse from Bartholomew fair, while tae Amusements of drinking and tippling in the houses about were suffered to remain. Mr. JONES said it was all very fine to talk-about the popti• lation of this country furnishing the materials of vice. Bed z:o other country a den se p o p u l at i on ? L et them loo k at the dense population of Paris. But there the Government did not guar rel with thipublic amusementri: they rather chose totontribitte to them. Not a fortnight passed without. giving them a, fte, and wine provided for all corners. Be disapproved of the prac tice of taking away all lively sports arid shows from the poor people. The effect of it must be necessarily to drive 111, , m to drinking, and pleasures of a grosser kind. • The petition was then referred to the Committee of Ci:y Lands. Alderman Wool) moved to suspend the order of 1762. un der which the town clerk proclaim• against the showg, c: Bartholomew Fair. Mr. Rou T x moved the previous question, which was carrk , ( 4 . The LORD MAYOR said, that. he was not zealous to take away the pleasures and amusements of the labouring classes : but he had thought that there could be nothing upon, parties were so thoroughly agreed as in designating Barti:Olo mew Fair as a nuisance. Mr. ROUTH moved to refer the whole subject to.the Cotn - mittee on City Lands fo report upon the he s t means oP•rigu lating the fair, or abolishing it altogether. • , Mr. St.4.DE would not object to abolishing the fair; btit La thought the cattle-market no less disgraceful to the centre a wealthy city, and certainly it was productive of much gel:aril:: - eonvnience.—The petition was referred accordingly.: • • EQUITABLF - LOAN BILL. . - • The Committee reported their success in opposing tile .late bill, and complained that the Parliament would not helVie Corporation as a party specially inter es t e d. Th e report ; cc - f - - tained congratulations of Ultimate success, acd pr&ses be.snlyt;d on the Lord Chancellor, the Earl : , f Lauderdale, :Ind Waithman, for their Zealous services to the public in causing it to be thrown out. Mr. CROCKER hoped that the Court would look welt after any attempts to revive the bill, a nd t h a t not o nl y the wth3le city but every ward of it, would ring with opposition if the scheme should be again attempted. Alderman WAIT iiazais said, that he hoped the opposition would be as effectual against any other jobbing schemes as that very notorious one. He was **convinced that individual energy was generally the best way of carrying on affairs of business-- Not but that there were some objects which were most easily attainable by united efforts. His chief objection to the able Loan Company was, that they set out with stigmatizirg a whole Company was, that they set out with stigmatiziag whole class of tradesmen, while their own pretences proved them to be as worldly minded as any others. He .would,rot willingly say any thing against so good and useful a body of people as the Quaker; but in lending their influence to that scheme, they had done that which was forbidden by the rules of their order. As to the machinery of it, he could say. nothing equal to a description of it. Why, the illustrious Blacking and the Milk of Roses' puffs were nothing to it. How it hap pened, he could not exactly say, though he could venture to guess that there were shares distributed among the Members.— The House of Commons divided strongly in favour of the .bill —only 12 vofing against it, while the !Tense of Lords it was thrown out by a majority. It was generally known • that eeta. taro gentlemen connected with the daily newspapers were sorter ed into acquiescence. He would give the Court just one sample of the means applied for puffing it in that quarter, and leave • them to, guess what motives could have induded the writer to be so urgent with the public. On the 2d of eApsll. 1824, appeared in one Morning Paper which he would. not name, the following notice, given with the imperative Style of " we," and being avowedly the editor's article:—. " Eqztitable Loan Bank—W e are informed that a ptiblitlitm puny is about to be instituted under the above title, for the pur pose of furnishing the poor and needy with temporary loans on the same principle as the pawnbrokers do, but at one half the interest charged by the said pawnbrokers—that is to say, 1411) per cent. instead of 20, with some other ameliotatiOna to the borrowers, such as _an extension of the time from one to two years before the security shall, become forfeited, &v. ; and'it is expected that at some future time even this reduced interest et 10 per cent. may be done away, and the company derive ample profit from the sale of forfeited pledges alone. i nure are to t):: seven different stalions , or offices, in the first instance, in co' - iy e nient situations throughout the metropolis, with one head office or establishment, for which the old College of Physichuis in 'Warwick-lane has be en - cons id ere d an eligible bn''Theibf, experimental capital is to be two millions, it. sh:des .of 1001., which we hear have not oily been all subkribed, but MOreihen • 3,000 applications above that amount have been received ; :and we also hear 5 per cent. premium is already offered for the Shares even before any of them have been brought to market.

The idea of it, we believe, originated with Sir William Congreve." He appealed to the Court, if, among the annals of ludicrous par fing—whether of Elephants' Milk or Macassor oil—there was ever any which exceeded this? After some further discussion, the Report was ordered to be printed, ands copy sent to every Member of the Court. - The Generel Purposes Committee presented a Report for af fixing the city's seal to a petition to the Lord Chief Justice and the other Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, praying them to rescind the order made in Easter Term, in-the fifth year of his Majesty's reign, for extending the Rules of the Fleet-prison ; which being read was agreed to, and the peti tion sealed accordingly ; and the Committee were directed to present the samein such manner as they may be advised. having The p G r e e n pa e r r e a l d P a u r b p i o ll se f s o r C al o m t e m r i n t g t e a an t d s o a l l e en sen di t n ed g 4 th ß e e A r lt t 'of cgi 'Common Council relative to persons carrying on business with in the city, of being' free thereof, which was read; and the Bill was als read a first and second time, and' referred back to the Committee to fill up the blanks, to print the name, and send acoly A t d h j e ou reo rn f ed. to every member previously to the third read jnit HUTCHINGS v. TABILYHE. This was an, action of trespass brought to recover damages from the defendant under the following circumstances :—The plaintiff' was returning home in company with two or three farmers, from Barnstable Fair on the 15th of April last, when he was knocked down by the defendant's horse, which was gallopping at a very rapid rate at the time. It appeared that the plaintiff's companions had carts which were proceeding along the left side of a lane 14 feet wide, and the plaintiff was walking' by the side of one of the carts, close to the hedge on that side, when the defendant, with two others, came up at full gallop. •The defendant attempted to pass between the carts and the hedge, and In doing so he knocked - the plaintiff down. He pulled up at the distance of 15 yards, and retqrned to speak to the plaintiff, to whom he offered half-a-crown for satisfaction. The plaintiff refused to accept the money ; he complained very much of the bruise he had received, but walked home, a dis tance of 5 miles from the spot where the accident happened.— On the fifth day after this time, he applied to a surgeon, who now stated the injury the plaintiff had received, and said he was now labouring under an affection of the kidneys produced by the accident. - No witnesses were called for the defence ' and the Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Five Pounds. CRIMINAL SIDE. Thomas Murphy and Thomas lll 4 Grath were indicted for having, on the 30th of April last, assaulted Thomas Nash, and taken from his person a pocket-book, and other articles, his property. Thomas Nash said, he was a private in the Royal Sappers and Miners. His corps was quartered at Plymouth ; on the 29th of April, three young men came to enlist in the corps.— One of the young men went away soon afterwards, and the other two asked him to go with them to find him. They went toge ther to Castle-street, Plymouth, but did not find the young man. The two who came with him then went away, and after waiting for ther return above an hour he went to the Rising Sun pubic-house, supposing the young men would go there, as there was a woman in the house, whom they visited; lie called for a pint of beer, and pulled out his pocket-book to pay for it. The prisoners were present, but he had no conversation with them. .He then drank his beer, and in a little time he left the house. He was followed by the prisoners, one of whom, "M'Orath, when he got to the top of the street, asked him If he would go to the Highlanders, a public-house there, because if he would, he might have share of a pot of beer. When they came to the Highlanders, they found the house shut up, and the people gone to bed. The prisoners then said they could find another house open, and they took witness to New -street, up which they led bin till they came to Castle-d y k e-lane; t h ey w i s h e d hi m to go up there, wh ich be refused to do, AD d ob.
