DIJFIEF, on hie System, in the London Mechanics' Institution.--Arrangements having been made between the Committee and Mr. Dttfief to TEACH the FRENCH CLASS in that Institution, he begs to inform the public, that his mode of teaching the French Language is now in full operation in a class of about 150. The numbers who may be simultaneously taught by this method are only limited by the compass of the teacher's voice, which may be made effectual with thousands at one time. One of the peculiarities of this system is, that new pupils may join the class at any period of its progress. Those who are disposed to acquire the above useful language on Mr. Dttfief's system have now that opportunity by becoming members of the London Me chanics' Institution.

The Estate of TEANINICH will be exposed to Sale in the month of SEPTEMBER next, on a day to be afterwards named, within the Royal Exchange Coffee-house, Edin burgh, if not previously disposed of by private bargain. THE Estate is mostly situated on the shore of the Cromarty Frith, in the most improved and beautiful district of the County, surrounded by the richest and most diversified scenery, and combining advantages for residence and improvement not surpassed in the High lands of Scotland. It is intersected by the Mail-road, at nearly cqual distances from Dingwall and Tain, anti bounded on the east for a considerable way by the River Alness, and on the west by the Lands of Novar. It has a southern exposure, and consists of rich Arable Land, pro ducing early and abundant returns of Wheat, Barley, and other crops, and the Salmon Fishings as productive. About four miles north of the Low Country Estate, , s situated Hill Grazing Kenlochanastrone, which to both the Agriculturist and the Sportsman, forms a very desirable appendage. The Lakes and Rivers on it abound with Char and Trout, and the hills with Grouse. The greatest part of the property is in the natural pos session of the Proprietor, in the highest state of cultiva tion, and enclosed with substantial stone dykes and hedges, interspersed with clumps and belting, of plantations. The Mansion House is spacious, recently built, comprising four public rooms, 26 feet by 18, and 20 feet by 18 ; twelve Bed-rooms, some having dressing-closets attached ; Shower, Hot, and Steam Baths, with abundant supply of water and other conveniences, with servants' accommodation and cellar age, and contiguous are Wash, Laundry, Dairy, and Brew houses, suppli e d w ith water; also an Ice-house. A delightful Shrubbery connec t s with the Garden and Hothouse, which are surrounded by a high wall, and for an abundant supply of choice a n d ea rly fruits are not surpassed by any in the county. The Farm-offices consist of Coach-house, Sta bling, Thrashing, and Meal-milns by water, and evedy ne cessary convenience, besides a large Store-house at the sea shore. There is also connected with the Mains Farm a Distillery on an extensive scale, with Malting-barns and Kilns, capable of malting 1,500 bushels a-week, and could be extended at a small expence ; the water is abundantly supplied, and rises to the height of the coolers ; an excel lent Malt-mile, with mac hi nery f or pump i ng, an d an ex tensive Peat-moss belonging to the property. The Dis tillery being detached, could be separately- let. The thriv ing and rapidly extending village of Bridge-end is partly built on the Estate, and having an inexhaustible Quarry of excellent Freestone adjoining, cannot fail of adding pro gressively to the value of the property. The Estate is now under survey, and is supposed to con tain about 3,000 imperial Acres, of which 567 are Arable, and 177 Planted Wood, 130 of the Plantations are up wards of 25 years old, and all very thriving. The present gross rental of the whole is estimated above 1,0911. ster ling, besides what will continue to be obtained from the thinning of the woods, and without any rent put down for the Mansion-house and Distillery, for both of which, with the garden, lawn , and suitab le offices, there i s no doubt that 3501. can be got.

ELLIOTT V. 3. ELLIOTT. PRICE 7D. Lyne : I was going from Newcastle to Croxton on Thursday the 12th of October, when I met the de fendant ; I never saw Mr. Barlow before ; I inquired the road ; Mr. Barlow said he would show me; we passed by a pond, and saw the children in the water: The girl had a white duck in her hand. The boy was without part of his dress. The boy was driving the ducks off the water. Barlow called out to them ; the boy and the girl ran away. I stopped the girl. Barlow said " Never mind the girl, catch me the boy if you can. If you bring him to my house, I will give you a dinner and a jug of ale." When I got to Caddy's house, Mary Caddy said he was gone towards a little tick. I said " No, he was not," and on seeking for him I found him under the stairs. I saw Caddy's duck in the garden ; it was a dark brown one. I went with the Caddys before Mr. Broughton. I heard Mr. Broughton say Barlow must bring the girl up in the morning. He said that they had been taking his ducks. Barlow asked if there was any occasion for a warrant to bring the girl, the mother said no ; she had brought the boy, and would bring the girl without. I remem ber the mother standing near John Caddy. She put her mouth to his ear. When Mr. Broughton asked what he had to say for his (Vence, the mo ther said they had been fighting ; then Mr. Brough ton told her to hold her noise. He then asked the boy, and he said they had been fighting the ducks. John Barlow.—l am the son of the defendant ; my father is not a rich man : my father kept geese and ducks upon the common. Mr. Broughton sug gested that Julia Caddy should be brought. I went to desire the mother to bring Julia the next day. The informations were read over to the children. When Mr. Broughton asked the boy for his defence, the boy was going to say he was going to take the ducks, when the mother whispered to him and stopped him. The mother then said the children were fighting the ducks, and the boy said so also. I was with Peak when the boy was going to prison, but I did not hear him say he'd be if he cared where they took him. The Rev. Henry Delves Broughton.—l am a Magistrate of this county. I am the nearest Ma gistrate to the parties in this action. I remember the boy being brought before me. Barlow said he had found some children stealing his ducks, and he had brought one of them. On hearing Barlow's statement, I said I must have the girl before me ; he asked me for a warrant, and the mother said there was no occasion for a warrant, she would bring the girl herself without. The next day I took the exa minations of Barlow and Ward when the Caddys were not present. I explained to the children the nature of the charge against them. The boy was going to say something beginning with " I was," when the mother whispered something to him, and he stopped. She then said they were fighting the ducks. I said, " You have brought up your chil dren to thieving, and now you are teaching them to tell lies." I then cautioned the children, I should take down what they said in writing; and whether it was for or against them, it would appear at their trial : they each said they were going to fight the ducks. I then bound over Barlow to prosecute. Cross-examined.—When Barlow came to me on the evening of the 12th, Barlow said he had a charge against John Caddy and Julia Caddy, for stealing his ducks. By Mr. Baron VAUGHAN.—I did not know the age of the girl at the time. _ . Exammanon continued.—l never committed so young a subject before : I had no scruple about doing it. I should do the same again to-morrow. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN thought a great deal of caution was required : many of the greatest law authorities considered seven years old too young to make a child responsible for any acts it might be guilty of. Examination resumed.—l have only committed one person since. I was surprised to find such a little creature brought before me; but Barlow still insisted in his charge. Some person of the name of Caddy had been before me for an assault. I don'r recollect that the father or mother, or any of these children, were before me. I generally examine a charge of felony in presence of the prisoners. I don't believe I ever, on any other occasion, exa mined the witnesses in . the absence of the prisoners. After finishing the examination of Barlow and Ward, I ordered John and Julia Caddy to be called in. My room is a small room, and I don't like to have a parcel of dirty people standing about my room; I don't. Poor people occasion sometimes a very un pleasant smell in a room ; and I don't like to have them con taminating my room : they genera lly s tand in the passage, and the door is open between the room and passage. The mother of the children was very much distressed when I said I would commit hei children to gaol. I thought the parents de served commitment more than the children. I ex pressed great regret, that I could not send her in stead of the children. I had no scruple about com mitting them. Mr. CAMPBELL replied. The Jury, after consulting for about half an hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 100/. DENTON V. BAKEIVELL. This was an action by the plaintiff, a maiden lady of some fortune, to recover from the defendant, the keeper of a lunatic asylum, a compensation in da mages for having assaulted and imprisoned her there in without cause. After evidence to a considerable length had been adduced on the part of the plaintiff, all tending to show that she was subject to great irritability of mind, the medical gentleman who attended her stated that he could not positively say she was sane, as her mind was in such a high degree of excitement and delusion. _ _ _ Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—Don't you consider those delusions a test of insanity ? Witness--I do, my Lord, Mr. Baron VAUGHAN-It is impossible, after this, the cause can go on. Mr. CAMPBELL consented to withdraw the record. A Magistrate on the Bench, who had performed the (Aide of Visiting Magistrate to the defendant's house for nine years, spoke in the highest terms of his treatment of the patients intrusted to his care. John Morris was indicted for fraudulently obtain ing from John Rutter, of Walsall, by means of a forged letter, 201 b. of hops, value 21. lls.—Guilty. Seven years' transportation. WESTERN CIRCUIT.---EXETER, AUG. 8. Mr. COLERIDGE and Mr. FOLLET appeared for the plaintiff, and the former stated that this was an action brought to recover compensation for certain slanderous words uttered by the defendant in a pub lic room at South Brent, at the time of the fair there. The. parties, though of the same name, were not in the slightest degree related to each other. The plaintiff was a respectable farmer, and the de fendant a man of property and the Lord of the Ma nor of South Brent. . The words conveyed a very serious imputation, for which there was not the least possible foundation. The Jury would hear the words from the witness, and they would then say to what damages a respectable man so charged was entitled. James Ward Farnham—l know the parties; on the 24th of April last I was at the Pack Horse, at South Brent, and I heard in the next room a noise, which induced me to go into it, where I saw the plaintiff and defendant, who were quarrelling, and the defendant offered to fight ; I advised him not tc do SP, but he said, " I won't be insulted—and in- This day was published, the Third Edition, compressed into 8 vols. price 81a. 6d.

SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.—CROYDON, Auc. 9 (Trial of Samuel Wilson, alias Stanley de Convey Ireland, concluded from our paper of yesterday.) The prisoner's Counsel, upon this evidence, sub mitted that there was no case to go to the Jury, in asmuch as there was no proof that the prisoner had counterfeited the shilling found in his possession ; for to that charge must the case be confined. Mr. Justice GASELEF. thought the case was cer tainly very slight, and put it to the Counsel for the Crown whether they would press the indictment for coining. Mr. Serjeant ONsLow, yielding to the intimation from the Court, said :le certainly should not press the case. The Jury, therefore, under the directions of the Learned Judge, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, without calling upon the prisoner for his defence. The prisoner had been arraigned upon a second indictment, charging . him with a capital offence, in having in his possession implements of coining. To this indictment he had pleaded not guilty ; but now, after communicating with his Counsel, who had spoken with the Counsel for the Crown, he desired permission to retract that plea, and plead guilty, upon a distinct u nderstanding, that the extremity of the law would not be carried into effect. The Learned Judge yielded to his application, and he pleaded Guilty. Sentence of Death was passed upon him in the form prescribed by law; but he was given to under stand that he must expect to be transported for the remainder of his life. CEASAR V. STEVENS AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by a shoemaker, re sident in the parish of East Moulsey, against the parish officers, for an assault and false imprisonment. It appeared from the statement of Mr. ADOLPHUS, who conducted the plaintiff's case, that the plaintiff was a person in indigent circumstances, and that in January last, his wife being pregnant and near the period of her confinement, the parish officers got a notion that he was about to abscond, and applied to him to make provision, to prevent his wife from becoming chargeable on the parish; the plaintiff having neglected, or being unable to comply with this application, the officers, accompanied by a constable, proceeded to the plaintiff's house in the evening of the 30th of January, and having taken him into custody, were about to convey him to the cage. The plaintiff, dreading the disgrace of being placed in the cage, attempted to escape from the officers when he was pursued by the constable and being overtaken, was violently assaulted and thrown upon the ground, where he received seve ral kicks and blows of a most violent de scription. The plaintiff was then taken to the cage, where he remained during the entire night, having been refused the accommodation of a blanket, and the next morning having been hand cuffed, he was taken before Admiral Lambert, a Magistrate of the county of Surrey, who directed that the plaintiff should be liberated, his father un dertaking to indemnify the parish for any expense incurred by the confinement of plaintiff's wife. Witnesses having been examined to prove these circumstances, Mr. MARRIOT addressed the Jury for the de fendants. He said that the facts of the case were, that the plaintiff having been married about a year and a half, found it convenient to quarrel with his wife, shortly previous to her confinement, and threatened to leave her. The plaintiff being about to carry his threat into execution by removing his furniture, the wife applied to the defendant, Stevens, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1827. for relief, who gave her something, and then applied to the plaintiff. As he was carrying away his goods, and leaving his wife in a state of pregnancy, liable to become chargeable on the parish, the officers considered it their duty to take him be fore a magistrate, and prosecute him under the Va grant Act, but as the plaintiff resisted their autho rity a scuffle ensued between him and the constable, in which several blows and kicks were exchanged; and the plaintiff having conducted himself in this violent manner, there was nothing left for the offi cers but to take, him to the cage for the night. The following morning the plaintiff was taken before Admiral Lambert, who humanely suggested that the plaintiff should not be prosecuted, but that his father should indemnify the parish. The plaintiff was then set at liberty, and actually left the parish for several months, during which his wife was con fined in the workhouse, and her father-in-law ac tually paid the sum of 6/. 14s. 3d: for the expenses of the mother and child. The Learned Counsel, in conclusion, contended that the defendants were not actuated by any ill will towards the pl a i nt iff, and merely acted in the execution of their duty, under the Vagrant Act, by which they were pro tected. On the part of the defendants, a witness was called to prove that the plaintiff removed some tables and chairs from his house before his wife ap plied to the parish, and also that the plaintiff, in a quarrel with his w ire, threatened to abandon her. Several other witnesses were examined in support of the defendants' case. Mr. ADOLPHUS having replied, The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—DERBY, Ado. 8. COLLINS, CLERIC, V. WOODWARD. Mr. COMMON SERGEANT, with whom was Mr. READER, in this case, said the plaintiff was a clergy man. The defendant was one of the bailiffs to the High Sheriff of the county last year. The cause was like those numerous actions which plaintiffs were often obliged to bring against men, who after keep ing them out of a just debt for a long time, tried in the end to cheat the law itself. The present plaintiff had a bond given him by a Mr. Woolley, and having entered up judgment on it proceeded at length to execution, on finding that Woolley had no disposi tion to pay him of his own accord. The writ of exe cution was put into the hands of the defendant, and property enough pointed out to him ; but, on some pretence that this property was claimed by others, defendant chose to return that " there were no effects." He had only to prove that there was suf ficient property. The formal proofs of the execution were put in evidence, and witnesses called, who proved property enough in Mr. Woolley to cover the execution. Mr. CLARKE (with whom was Mr. N. CLARKE) was instructed to defend this action, on the ground that the property pointed out belonged to Woolley, jun., but seeing the evidence against him not to be contradicted, he submitted to a verdict--1951. 10s. 4d. William Brown was put to the bar on a charge of stealing five sheep, belonging to Joseph Matken, of Kirk Ireton, in this county, on the night of the 2d of April last. The Jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his good character. :his action was commenced, I saw Mr. Barlow : he Followed me to Mr. Peak's at Chatkill ; lie said he .„......_ . was very anxious to have this matter determined without any legal proceedings. I told him if he would come to my office with any respectable friend, whatever that friend raid was a sufficient compensa tion for the children, I would agree to. He pro _ . • _ .._. - mixed to come the following Saturday; I waited for him and he never came. A clerk to Mr. Flint proved the delivery of a let ter to the defendant, offering the same terms of ae- commodation mentioned by the last witness. Mr. Charles Flint, cross-examined by Mr. TAL- Fouß.D.—The rule for a criminal information against Mr. Barlow was made absolute in Easter Term. The criminal information is my affair. I was in London during the last sessions, and gave no in structions but in writing, for obtaining a copy of the record of acquittal. I was not in London when the rule for obtainin!., , the criminal information was ar- gued. The rule for a criminal information against Mr. Broughton was discharged. Mr. TALFOURD.-1 will show that the court of quarter sessions expressly restrained Mr. Flint from making use of this record of acquittal in this way. John Caddy said, lam eleven years old. I have a sister named Julia. My father and mother are alive. Father is a labouring man, living at Chatkill green ; he lived there in October last. Father had a cow, a pig, some geese, fowls, and ducks. I remember sister being ill that month; mother went to Miest to fetch her home; whilst she was gone, aunt Mary gave me my dinner ; father was from home at work. It was on a Thursday when mother went to fetch sis ter. My sister Julia had her dinner with me; after dinner I went to put some pigs out of Mr. Barlow's field ; after that we went to catch some ducks to play with them on Chatkill-common, Julia went with me ; when we got to the pit or pond, I pulled nay shoes and stockings and trousers off. I left my clothes about ten yards from the pit. Julia pulled her shoes and stockings off. Julia is now eight years old. When we had pulled our clothes off, we wer,t into the pit to catch some ducks ; I caught two, my sister caught one; we were going to fight them and play with them. I don't know whose ducks they were : it was father's duck that sister caught. We began to play with them towards Mr. Barlow's, about ten yards from the pit; we were then ten or eleven yards from our clothes. I saw Mr. Barlow and John Ward coming. Ward said, " Catch the girl ;" Barlow said, " Loose the girl, and catch the boy." I got over the hedge, and up the field home, without my clothes. I was much frightened, and when I got home got under the stair hole. Ward followed me into the house. Mother and sister were both come home. Sister Mary pushed the door upon Ward. Mother came with him in. Mother said, " What has he been do ing ?" Ward said, "He has been catching the ducks." Mother went for my clothes; and when she came back took me to Barlow's. Mr. Barlow said to mother, " Mary, must 1 beat him or roast him?" Mother said, " Beat him, Sir." Barlow had roast me before; he chained me to the grate, and threw some water on me. Barlow then considered a big while, and then said, " I think I shall take him to Mr. Broughton's." He took me to Mr. Broughton's just before milking-time. Mr. Brough ton's is about two miles from Barlow's. When we got these, Barlow pulled my shoes and stockings out of his pockets, and said to Mr. Broughton, " E'e.n do what you can, for I can't bear it any longer." Mr. Broughton said, " Bring him in the morning, and I will send him to Stafford." He or dered sister Julia also to come. I heard Barlow ask Mr. Broughton for a warrant to break mother's door open if she would not let him have sister Julia. I was taken that night to Mr. Barlow's. He would not let me go back again with my mother. I slept that night at Mr. Barlow's. Mr. TALFOURD objected to any thing that hap pened to the boy, which might be ground for a se parate action. Mr. Baron VAUODAN thought it admissible, if it went to show malice against the family. Examination resumed.—l was sent to bed with George Reeves ; in the night I was awoke by George Reeves. Mr. Barlow stood by the bed; he had a rope and a candle in his hand : "he said, " Did not your father tell you to steal the ducks ?" I said, " No, he did not, Sir." He said, "If you dinna say so, I will hang you with this rope." He would have put it round my neck, only I pushed it away. He asked me what I was doing with the ducks, and I said playing with them. Mother came next morning to Barlow's. Julia was with her. We were then taken:to Mr. Broughton's. Mr. Barlow, his son, John Ward, and Joseph Peak went with us. It were in the morning we went. After we went to Mr. Broughton's, Julia and I were taken to Stafford gaol; we remained in gaol ten days and eleven hours. We were tried in this place at the October Sessions, and acquitted. Joseph Austin formerly lived with Barlow; he knew Caddy, the father of Julia Caddy. Barlow once ordered me to drive Caddy's geese into the cow-house; he then told me to eatch one, which I did; he then cut its head off, saying, I will take tithe of them, lad." Cross-examined—I had often seen Caddy's geese in Barlow's fields. Re-examined—l know a womma named Sarah Turner; she was a servant there at that time. Sarah Turner lived with Mr. Barlow. I remember Mr. Barlow giving me a dead goose ; be told me to take the goose down to Mother Caddy. I did so ; but she refused to take it. John Walker—l lived with Barlow ;he gave me a dead goose, which he told me to take to Jelin Caddy's. I took it, and threw it down against their door. Cross-examined—This was about two years ago. I often saw Caddy's geese in Barlow's wheat. George Nicholls—l lived with Mr. Barlow. I remember master desiring me to send young John Caddy up; he went, and Barlow asked him if he had got his pears ; the boy said he had not, and began to cry. He told him to take up some pears ; the boy refused. Barlow then desired me to take the boy into the house, which I did. Barlow then fetched a low chair, and fastened him to the grate, and basted him with water. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN here intimated that evidence of this nature could not be received in the present action. Mr. CAMPBELL—This is the case for the plaintiff. Mr. TALFOURD, on the part of the defendant, sub mitted that the plaintiff must be non-suited, on the ground that the plaintiff having applied to . the Court of Kin g ' s B enc h f or a criminal information against the defendant, had thereby waved his civil remedy; and cited the " King v.; Sparrow, ! where it was de cided that where a party applies for a criminal infor mation, he waves his right of action. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN was of opinion, that after having pleaded, and brought the parties down here to trial, the objection offered by the Learned Coun sel could not be allowed. Mr. TALFOURD, after commenting at great length on the cruelty and hardship of the case on his client, concluded by expressing his hope that they would discharge him from the bar, not with a verdict of one farthing damages which carry costs, and with which he was already pressed to the earth, but by a verdict for the defendant. The affidavit of Mr. Abraham Flint for obtaining a copy of the record of the acquittal of John and Julia Caddy, was then put in and read.

I - This was an action by Julia Caddy, an i4nt, who, suing by her prochain ami, sought to recover from the defendant a compensation in damages for a malicious prosecution. Mr. WHATELEY opened the pleadings. Mr. CAMPBELL, in stating the case, said that he had now to address them with feelings of no common anxiety. The plaintiff was a little girl seven years old, who sought compensation from the defendant for one of the most serious injuries that could be in flicted by one person on another. The plaintiff was the child of a poor cottager residing at Chatkill green, in this county. The defendant was a farmer of substance and opulence, residing in the neighbour hood, who ought to have known much better ; but for some reason which he (Mr. Campbell) was unable to state, had a spite against the family of the plain tiff, and seemed desirous to drive them from that part of the country. On Thursday the 12th of Oc tober, 1826, the father of the plaintiff having gone on the preceding Monday to a different part of the county to work, her mother left home to fetch a sick daughter home from service, leaving her son John, a boy 10 years of age, and Julia (the child who now sought justice at the hands of a jury) in the care of an aunt. She gave them their dinner between 12 and 1 o'clock, as usual, and after dinner they went off to Chat kill-common to play. At a pit or pond on that common they found several ducks, and having slipped off their clothes, waded into the water to catch them and play with them. They there caught two or three of the ducks, one of which belonged to their father, and began to play with them. While they were playing with the ducks, the defendant, Barlow, came up, and immediately called out to a person of the name of Ward, who was at a short distance off, to run to the children. They, natu rally frightened as might be supposed, threw down the ducks, and ran away, leaving their clothes on the common. The children ran home to their father's house, but Barlow knowing well the inno cence of the children, sent Ward to their father's house after the boy. In the mean time the mother had returned. The boy was found under the kitchen stairs, and on hearing the accusation against him, his mother said she would beat him for it. lint Ward being ordered to take him to the defendant, Barlow, his mother said she would go with him. When they arrived at Barlow's, she was told of what the boy had done to the ducks; viz. that he had been catching the ducks. After some consideration, Barlow de termined to take him before a Magistrate. They accordingly prcceeded to the residence of the Rev. H. D. Broughton, a Magistrate residing in the neigh bourhood, and as he was no party in the present cause, he (Mr. Campbell) should abstain from mentioning him but with respect. When they arrived there, Mr. Barlow charged the children with having at tempted to steal his ducks. Mr. Broughton having determined thatthe child, John Caddy, should remain in custody for that night, directed that on the fol lowing morning his sister Julia should be brought before him. Accordingly, the following morning, these two unfortunate children were brought before the Rev. Mr. Broughton, and on the information of Barlow, the defendant, charging them with stealing his ducks, were committed as felons to the common county gaol of the county of Stafford. They re mained there from the 13th of October to the 23d, when Barlow appeared against them as prosecutor, and preferred a bill of indictment before the Grand Jury, which on his evidence was found. On being brought to trial in this court, the children were ac quitted, to the satisfaction of all present, mixed with feelings of disgust and abhorrence at the cruelty which would have consigned such infants, on such a charge, to such a trial. This unfortunate girl was acquitted, it was true ; but the reproach thus in flicted on her would stick to her through life, unleSs , the Jury, by their verdict this day, deelared their opinion of the treatment she had been subjected to. The Clerk of the Peace produced the information, signed by Mr. Broughton, and the defendant Bar : low, which was then read. Mr. Charles Flint, attorney for the plaintiff—ln , the latter end of April or beginning of May, before suited by a fellow like that, 4lio bee been t,d_ prison and cheated a" PrPditors-L-by a fellow that has stolen sheep ;" I asked him whether George Elliott had stolen sheep ? he said yes, and was driving the sheep to Dodbrook market, and was taken with, th sheep on the road, and was obliged to give money to make it up ; I said if that was true, I would give him up altogether, and defendant replied he knew it was true. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages, Twenty Pounds." NAIL': W. :JENSON. Mr. Sergeant WILDS stated, that this was a special action on the case, brought to recover a sum of twenty guineas, which the defendant had offered in printed hand-bills, as a reward for the discovery of some property which had been stolen from his house. The plaintiff was nonsuited. BAILEY V. HOULDITCH, ORTON, AN) ANOTHER. Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS stated, that this was an action of assault and battery. The faets were shortly these:--The plaintiff was passing in the evening of the 23d of September, through a toll-gate, kept by the defendants, when ' he was stopped, and toll demanded of him. His answer was that he had passed through the same gate in the morning and had paid the toll. One of the defendants acknowledged that he had done so, but said that unless the ,plaintiff produced the ticket he should not go through. A discussion ensued between them e and the plain tiff was slightly assaulted ; he then said he would go back, but before he had gone far, he returned with the intention of paying the toll a second time, as the inconvenience he would suffer unless he went through would be greater than the loss of the money ; with that view he came back to the gate with a half-crown in his hand, but just as he was about to pass he was as saulted, taken into custody, and carried before a magistrate. For that assault he brought the present action. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Is. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.--NORWICH, Ate. 7. The Judges proceeded this morning, with the High Sheriff and the Civic Officers of Norwich, to the Cathedral Church, in state; and, after Divine Service, Mr. Baron Garrow went to the City Hall, where the Grand Jury were sworn, and his Lord ship afterwards addressed them on the nature of their duties, at very considerable length; but the only important observations of the Learned Judge were those in reference to prisoners of the names of David Seeker, Henry Rix, William Thurston, and Stephen Horne, who are charged, " with divers other persons, to wit, twelve or more, in the City ,Lnd County of Norwich, with being unlawfully, riotously, and tumultuously assembled together; and, notwithstanding proclamation was made, as directed by the Statute, commanding them to disperse, they did, feloniously, riotously, &c. remain and continue together for the space of one hour after such Com mand, against the peace," &c. His Lordsh;:p much regretted that the peace of the eetenty had been broken since the last Assizes, by members of the community assembling together to commit acts of outrage upon the property of the master manufac turers, to destroy that machinery which was produc tive of so much wealth to the country. It was a matter of astonishment that the lower classes should not be aware that, in destroying machinery, they were depriving thousands of the means of small beginnings they rapidly inerlz)reitreasecirosesht,dhi .übsistence, and producing extensive distress in ri large portion of the commercial world.— In destroying the loom they became the destroyers of the best instrument of the best benefactor of the trade and commerce of this country. His Lordship in adverting to the riots in London, in 1780, said that he was old enough to remember them. Fret' , pearn ti ;d n s a d hwtoe s ur o trsi o o: soon the metropolis was entirely under the de,minion of a mob wa s of general metropolisb oy burning fromu r and nin og w n o ei women, e ny r ; la; tr H ist i s tqou l and places of worship were destroyed, and finally Newgate was set on fire, and the prisoners were li berated. At that eventful crisis, when we unfortu nately had a Lord Mayor of the City of London who was of opinion that he should act in violation of the constitution if he called out the military, and that he might be hanged for so doing; it was at that eventful period—and it ought never to be obliterat ed from the memory of the people of England—that our late revered and beloved Monarch, George the Third, called out the military to assist in stopping the devastation and destruction of life and property, and it operated like a charm ; in a short time the mob was dispersed, tranquillity was restored, and the city was saved; and it only remained to try and punish those—too many—who had been concerned in vio lating the laws. His Lordship directed the Jury to proceed to inquire into the offences which would be laid before them, that the Court might proceed as early as possible to the despatch of business. farnei Gant stood indicted for having, on the 26th of January last stolen, secreted, and embezzled from the Ipswich mail coach-office, a paper parcel, containing a 101. Bank of England note, a 51. Nor-, wich Bank note, and an order for 121. Bs. A number of witnesses were called, who gav, t h e prisoner a good character; aad his father-in-ltw said, that the prisoner received one hundred 'pounds on marrying his daughter, about throe years and a half ago. Mr. Baron GARRQW 611311allia up the ease, and the Jury found the yrisoner guilty, but recommended him to mercy, on account of his previous good cha racter. Mr. Baron GARROW adjudged that the prisoner be transported for 14 years. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—TORIC, Aue. S. DOE V. RUSHWORTII. This was an action of ejectment by the assignees of Messrs. Bateson and Co., cloth-manufacturer s at Leeds, to recover possession of certain lands which had come into the hands of the defendant's lessor, in consequence of a mortgage granted by one of the bankrupts, which, it was alleged, had been g s ; ven in contemplation of bankruptcy. The facts were the following :—Some twenty years since, a gentleman, named Lister, having died, leaving an infant family, appointed tslVir. Lupton and Joseph Bateson, one of the batArupts, as trustees of his children of the property he was able to leave them. One of the provisions contained in the will was, that a sum amounting to 2,0001. should be in vested ;n real property, or Government Securities, to the use of his daughters. The interest was to be received by them during their lives, and the principal paid to their children at their decease. Mr. Bateson was a man of landed property, and undertook the management of the trust; but instead of investie,g the money according to the provisions of the Will, in government securities, he continued it in. his own hands, and regularly paid the interest when it be came due. His co-trustee, thinking him a solvent man, did not object to this proceeding. However, when one of the daughters was about to b i e married, t b: transferred to her futu re it became necessary to place her fortune n such cir cumstances thatr. B ateson , it might husband. wi agreed to give a mortg a g e for th e suna due on land e d property o f his own, This mortgage was grante d , about six months previous to his own and his pa r t, n er's failure. It was the validity of this mortgage which came, incidentally to the action of ejectment, to be tried on the present occasion. To prove that the granting it must b e construed as an act of fraudulent p re f efence, evidence was adduced to show, th at t h e m o had shortly bef ore be come a partner of Mr. i Wilkinson,y delay e d execut i ng his trust for various alleged reasons. At l engt h h e bankrupt was aware, at 'the time, of his state of insolvency, and that the debts for which the firm had failed were then in existence. Between that period and their failure, it appeared that several bill and loan transactions had been carried on by them. Mr. Sergeant CROSS, on the part of the defendant, contended that the trusts of the testator's will ought to have been fulfilled twenty years previous to. the granting of this mortgage. He also insisted, that, iteg vete !d to ;ire(' aced side I his 5 re- own Dere, esta- iatis light wed, ma ;l in been was fees, f this s the next, nt of t anti
