OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant AhAair.) HORSE STEALING. William Watson, aged 19, was indicted for steal ing, on the 15th July last, a horse, of the value of 264., the property of Richard Peck, in the parish of Shadwell. The prosecutor stated, that on the 19th he stopped near to the Jolly Butchers, in Shadwell ; that his horse was an exceedingly spirited animal, and there fore he did not like to leave it in the care of a boy, who repeatedly asked permission to hold it; but he nave it Into the prisoner's charge, considering him the Attest to hold it. Soon after the prosecutor went away, he heard the cry of a person having rode off with the horse, which it was said was a man named Dean, and who was for sonic time seen on the horse at a gallop; the prisoner instantly also ran off down a contrary lane, and made his escape for a whole month. Neither Dean nor the horse has till this moment been heard of. Several witnesses corroborated these facts, and several gave the prisoner a good character, whose defence was, that Dean came up to him, asked his leave to ride the horse about a little till the owner of it might return, and that he rode it off entirely without his leave, or knowledge that he was going to do so. Mr. Sergeant ARAI3IN left to the Jury to say whether they could entertain a doubt Gl* the prisoner having been in concert with Dean, and if they had no doubt of it, then they would have to say he wa3 squally guilty.—Guilty. MURDER. Mary Witienback,4;i7i, stood indicted for the wilful murder of her husband, Frederick Witten back, on the 21st July, by administering arsenic to dam m a pudding. Mr. ADOLPHUS appeared for the prosecution. He demanded merely a fair consideration of the case; the prisoner had been the wife of the deceased for about twenty years, by whom she had had three or four children, one of whom was now about 19 years of age, and all were comfortably provided for, though the deceased had been a labouring man. On Sa turday the 21st, the deceased went to his home to every person apparently in good health at about noon ; soon afterwards he became ill after having partaken of some pudding, avid died the same night. The prisoner had also partaken of it but she was re covered. Amelia Davis.—l am the wife of James Davis, a scale-maker, No. 26, Brill-place, Kentish-town ; I knew the deceased and the prisoner; they lived to gether in my. house; they were husband and wife; they had three daughters, two married and one worked out the house ; I remember on Saturday the 21st July, the deceased coming home to dinner at ten minutes past twelve ; he appeared then jn per fect good health ;at about half-past twelve the pri soner came to me and brought a piece of pudding on her plate, she said Wittenback was very ill ; she said he thought he was poisoned ; she asked me if I thought there was any thing in it. I then went down stairs, and when I came up again, I entreated her to go down to her husband. The prisoner said she could not, for she was as bad as he was. I said I thought you said you did not eat of it ; she said she had eat of it, while I bad been down stairs. I said—what, eat it, when you said your husband was poisoned ! She then said, I was a liar. She said she had never said she had poisoned him at all. I asked her to go down stairs; she went and then she came up again. I saw the deceased at this time ---- coming up stairs. He appeared to be very bad in deed ; he could scarcely crawl up stairs. The pri soner was present, and could hear very plainly what passed. I said, 0 " Mr. Wittenback, what's the matter ?" The husband was nearest to me, though the prisoner was present; the house is very small. The prisoner was sitting on a chair near to the door in her own room, and that door was close to me. — She was about two yards from me. I was on the landing, and he was coming up the stairs ; there are but very few steps. He said, " 0 Mrs. Davis, lam very bad, I think I am poisoned ;" he thought he was cone 7or. w4s all that passed then. I saw the prisoner several times after that. I saw her di rectly he was put into bed. When he came up stairs he went to bed. I saw the prisoner first after this still sitting on a chair near her room; the room in which the prisoner was in bed. She said they were very bad, that they were both poisoned, and she lay down in bed. I saw him afterwards trying to get out of bed to go down stairs. My husband went for Mr. Jackson, and I believe an assistant of Mr. J.'s came with my husband, and who administered an emetic. My husband asked Mr. Wittenback if he should go for a doctor, when he was down stairs vomiting, and he said be did not care if he did. I saw the deceased again at about a quarter before four o'clock. Tie requested me to rub his legs, which were in great pain. Mrs. Saunders and his youngest daughter were present then. Char lotte, the daughter, went for Mr. Dillon. I bad proposed fetching Mr. Walford, but the prisoner objected to that, because of his charges being high. I said I had no doubt but her father would pay him if he got better. He was not sent for. Charlotte went and brought two gentlemen. I was not in the room again till about seven o'clock in the even ing. He was then taking some pills. I believe the deceased and the prisoner did not live exactly on very good terms. At the time the prisoner brought in the pudding to me, she said it was a suet one. I asked where she bought the flour, and she told me at Smith's. _ _ _ Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON---I know Smith, of whom the prisoner said she bought the flour, by seeing his". I don't think Dr. Dillon is here. Mr. Jackson was not here when I w as outside of the Court. At a quarter past one Mr. Jackson was ,first sent for. The size of the pudding she brought to me was about half the size of my hand. My husband was at home at the time, but he was not so near to me when I first saw the deceased ill, as to hear what passed ; he was in the workshop of Mr. Saunders. Mr. Saunders is the person who keeps the house. Mrs. Saunders was present and assisted the deceased up stairs. — I told Mrs. Saunders what passed between the pri soner and myself as soon as the deceased was put to bed. I did not see any alarm manifested by the pri soner when she came up to m c . I mean to swear that she appeared to be in no state of alarm. More than five minutes did not elapse from the prisoner's first coming to me, and then producing a piece of puddiag. I never saw the deceased vomiting in the yard, but heard him. I did not dine with the pri soner and the deceased that day. I was alarmed when I first heard of what had happened. I was confused very much, and very much frightened when I first heard it. The prisoner did not appear to be labouring under the effects of th e poison, more than what she said when she came up. She was spitting in the tub, and complained of sickness. I saw a little froth come out of her *mall. There are two rooms on the floor on which the deceased's bed-room was. The staircase parts them. There is a pailing or partition that divides my room from the prisoner's. At the time I was speaking to the deceased on the stairs, the prisoner was sitting in her room with the chamber utensil on her lap, and saying she was very bad; she was in this state all to her husband on the st a i rs . the ti me I was speaking She appeared then to be labouring under the effects of the poison, and said she was ill. My husband i s her e to-day. I believe the prisoner's youngest dau ghter is not here. I lived c ilDavis--I am the husband of the last witness. the house with the deceased. He was always called either James or Jem. I don't know whether he had any other Christian name. I did net see him on the morning of Saturday. When he was first in the yard I saw him retching. I said to him he appeared very bad. I asked him if I !night go for a docter, and he said I might if I liked. I Went for Mr. Jackson, and a young man returned with me ; we found the deceased lying on the bed. 4 a dministered an emetic which operated. I buried whet Came off his stomach in the yard, but before I I did that I taw a cat in the yard eat of it; this WU before the emetic had been administered. I buried it before I went to the doctor. After I administered the emetic I went away and returned at 7 o'clock. When I got home there was a gentleman' there ap plying the stomach pump. I spoke to the deceased almost immediately after the application of the stomach pump, and he appeared much the same as when I had left him —very bad indeed. The medi cal gentleman left me a box of pills, to give him a part of occasionally. The deceased told me his head felt just as if he had been intoxicated. He died about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning. I know nothing further as to his name than that he was always called Jem. Hannah Saunders—l keep the house in which the prisoner and the deceased lived. His name was Frederick Wittenback. They lived with me for about five months. I saw the deceased at about half-past twelve on the Saturday. I saw him again at about a quarter past one ; he was then retching very violently in the yard. I asked him what was the matter ? He said he was very ill from eating pudding. I asked him if he had been eating any thing before he came home ? He said no, he had never felt better in his life than he had done that morning. I asked him if he would have assistance sent for, and he said he would. Mr. Davis went for assistance ; an emetic was sent to him ; the pri soner was asked to make it, but she said she could not, for she was as ill as him. I know they had pudding for dinner. I saw it smoking hot, and taken out of the saucepan, and put upon a plate. I know nothing of how the pudding was made. The prisoner's daughter had been at home in the morning. The prisoner came into my room, and asked me, about ten or eleven, to borrow a wash-tub; she talked about where she had been to work during the week, that her husband expected lOs. that night, and she wished he might get it; she added her girl was at home, altering her spencer, to go out the following day with her father, but that she little knew of what she (the prisoner) had in her hand. The prisoner and the deceased always appeared to live very quietly in my house ; I never heard an unpleasant word pass between them. Cross-examined---I never knew that the de ceased's name was not Frederick. I know he used to he called " Jem" by the workmen. He had worked a long time with one master. At the Coroner's Inquest, the deceased's daughter said her father's name was Frederick. I observed then that I thought it was James; she said no, it was Frederick. Charlotte Wittenback, a very pretty little girl, apparently about 16 years old—My father's name was Frederick. I was at home when he died. I left the house on the Saturday at eleven o'clock. I had no hand in making the pudding whatever. There was nobody at home in the forenoon but my mother and myself.—(The prisoner seemed much agitated—who had previously been accommodated with a seat in the dock—when her daughter passed her.) _ Mrs. Saunders was recalled, and asked how many rooms there were in the house, by a Juror.—lt con tained four; there was no kitchen common to all the lodgers. The deceased and his wife rented one room. Henry P. Jackson, assistant to Mr. Jackson, sur geon, Brewer-street, was sent for to see the deceased. Ile went to see him, and found him labouring under a great deal of pain in the stomach. He sent him an emetic, but knew nothing more. Charles Wm. Wright, house-surgeon to St. Pan cras Workhouse, saw the deceased on the Saturday evening ; found him complaining of great pain, and a twisting about the navel. It appeared to me (con tinued the witness) that he had taken poison. I saw him again on the same evening, when I applied the stomach pump, but without any good effect. I saw him on the next morning dead. I examined him, but could not say what sort of poison he had taken; from the symptoms generally, I considered he had died from the effects of poison. Cross-examined.—l have been in the profession for ten years. It is probable that if I had seen the deceased earlier on Saturday, he might have been saved. When I first saw him, the prisoner exhi bited symptoms of poison also. In my judgment, if the stomach pump had not been applied to the wo man she must have died also. By the BENCH.---I could not find any trace of arsenic, or of any sort of poison, in the stomach. I endeavoured to obtain a part of that which had been voided from the stomach of the deceased, but could not. There could be no doubt but that if death was occasioned by arsenic, the poison must have been detected in that which was . voided from the stomach. The stomach had been so completely emptied before I examined the stomach that I could not detect poison there; and it is possible this might have happened though arsenic had been taken on Saturday at noon. Paralysis in the legs and blindness would result from taking poison. Finding no trace of poison in the stomach, I cannot swear that he died from taking poison. From all I saw on my examination I believe he did die of poison. By a Juror.—Had the stomach been disordered from some natural cause, the symptoms I have de scribed might have been produced by taking a powerful emetic. There are emetics that will produce inflamma tion of the stomach,and particularly should inflamma tion exist before, it would be increased. In some con stitutions three grains •of tartar emetic would pro duce the inflammation ; I understand four grains were given, together with 16 grains of ipecacuhana ; the specific effect of mineral posion is to produce in flammation, heat and pain in the stomach, and throughout the alimentary tube. There is no rea son why the emetic should not have produced the inflammation, particularly in the stomach of a hard working and drinking man, the coats of which are more scirrhous than those of other stomachs; the dose of emetic the deceased got was a large dose. Mr. Dillon, out-door surgeon of St. Pancras work house—Between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning I was called to attend the prisoner and her husband. At that time the man was in a dying state ; he was vomiting, the pupils of his eyes were dilated, and his extremities were very cold. I re mained with him till about half -past two o'clock. From his appearance then my opinion was that he was dying from the effects of mineral poison. I examined the woman, and found it necessary to remove her on the Sunday afternoon to the infirmary; the symptoms under which she laboured were similar to what the deceased was labouring under twelve hours before. She did not tell m e h ow s h e had_ become ill. I con sidered her life in imminent danger. I informed her of my opinion of her state ; she said she would rather die than recover. I begged her to tell me if she had taken any poison, as it would facilitate the means of cure. She denied that she had taken any. My opinion is that she would have died if powerful means had not been used to save her. Cross-examined—When I saw the woman at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, I was aware that the stomach-pump had b een use d : I d o not t hi nk the pump a violent remedy to have recourse to in experienced hands. The emetic given to deceased is considered by medical men as a strong dose ; it is often prescribed ; it is stronger than is used in general except in cases arising from natural causes. In some cases the dose exhi bited might produce inflammation in the sto mach, but in the majority it would not.— Whether the immediate subsequent use of the pump would produce inflammation would depend on the Previous state of the stomach, and the manner in which the pump was used. I have not had much experience with the pump myself. By Mr. AHOLPHES.—In the state in which the deceased was when the emetic was administered, the dose was by no means too powerful. Verdi c Guilty— Monday. Ordered for executionon NEW . (Before the Comm COURT on SERGEANT. ) NEW SPECIES OF LARCENY UNDER MR. flues ACT. Henry Barrel was indicted for stealing a stove from an uninhabited house belonging to Mr. Sabine, in Euston-crescent, Euston-square. By M r . p ee l' s New Act the offence of tteging E Atitres, which wire previously considered part of the freehold, Wag made a larceny. The prisoner was proved to have visited tile house for the ostensible purpose of hiring it, and to have subsequently entered it with a latch-key,. and carried away the stove. In repeating his visit, ap parently for the same purpose, he was apprehended. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.

There are several arrivals this week, which may in some measure account for the flatness of the market ; and the trade generally having bought so extensively, are unwilling to increase their stocks at the present high prices.

ELEPHANT AT EXETER 'CHANGE.—Since the destruction of the celebrated Town. - LUL, numerous enquiries have been made at Exeter 'Change respecting him, and as to the probability of the Proprietor ever being able to replace him with another of equal sagacity.

Lord Manners' salary as Chancellor of Ireland, will be paid up to the quarter ending the 10th of October. —Dublin Evening Post. MARQUIS OF ANGLESEA.--The Noble Marquis is expected to arrive in Dublin in November. Lord Forbes, who has been appointed Comptroller of the Household, by Lord Anglesea, is busy making the necessary preparations in the department over which he is to preside. We understand, that preparatory to Lord Wellesley's re• tirement from the Vice'•oyalty of Ireland, his state car riage was yesterday shipped for England.—Dublita Even ing Post. _ _ We regret to learn that a fire of a very serious nature broke out yesterday morning at Dupplin Castle, the family seat of the Earl of Kinnoul. Our information is communicated by a young gentleman who left Perth yes terday morning at seven o'clock—before which, a messenger had arrived from Dupplin for the fire engines. All that he could learn was, that the fire had commenced in the centre of the building, and that the whole house was in the greatest danger. When coming through Stratkearn by the Edinburgh road, he could see the flames (a distance of three or four miles) raging with great fury, and to ap pearance involving nearly the whole building.

WORCESTER MUSIC MEETING. WORCESTER, SEPT. I 2.—Yesterday was the first of the three days appointed for the Music Meeting of the three Choirs of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester. For some days previous the town ex bibited a scene of unusual bustle and prepuation ; most of the houses were painted, including the Shire Hall, which had also a considerable quantity of gld ing bestowed upon it. Visitors poured in from all quarters down to a late hour on Monday night. At nine o'clock the Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's arrived at the Hop Pole, in great state, having the carriages and four ; a vast crowd was assembled out side the Inn to see her Grace. Great expectations had been excited as to the superiority of the present Meeting, from its being known that the Dean took so lively an interest in its success, and in endeavouricg to excel all former Meetings in the assemblage ef first-rate talent, both vocal and instrumental ; added to which, he had ob tained his Majesty's patronage. In the list of per formers (instrumental) were seen the names ef Dra gonetti, Lindley, F. Cramer, Harper, Marriotti, and Wilinan. Vocalists : Pasta, Zucchelli, Caradori, Braham, Phillips, Miss Stephens, and Mrs. W. Knyvett. It is rumoured that Madame Pasta is to receive 4001. Zucchelli has come all, the way from Paris. The doors of the Cathedral were thrown open at half-past nine in the morning, and gradually filled with company, until the hour of performance, eleven o'clock; the admission being, for this day, half-a crown to the Chancel Gallery, and five shillings to the Choir. The seats in the latter were not entirely filled. The arrangements for the accommodation of the company were most excellent, and reflect great credit on the management of the Stewards. The fitting up of Orchestra had an imposing ef fect, when viewed from the Gallery; with the excep tion, however, of the scarlet paper ornament in the front which ought to have been of crimson cloth or baize, to correspond with the rest of the temporary furniture of the building. The Bishop and Dignitaries of the Church were seated on the right of the Choir, and the Corporation en the left. The performance was nearly the same as that which takes place at St. Paul's on the Anniversary of the Sons of the Clergy. Overture (Esther) ; Grand Dettingen Te Deum ; Handel's Anthem, " Blessed is he ;" Duet, " Here shall soft Charity. repair" (Boyce); and Coronation Anthem, " Za dok the Priest" (Handel). The solo parts, were sung by Braham, Phillips, Vaughan, and Mr. and Mrs. Knyvett. i t v h e, nn c e on ex si e s e t p in ti g nn o , f nearly The n c n h e o h ru n s n e d s re w d went remarkably w ell ; the effect of the " Amen" e e v re oic v e e s r ran e d ffe w ct i cbaunt, as given by them, owing to the number of bass voices, had a truly sublime effect. The five trombones in the band gave to the performance of the Dettingen " Te Deum," a grandeur which it should never be without. . _ Mr. J. Cramer led, Mr. Mutlow presided at the organ, mid Mr. C. Clarke conducted. The sermon was preached by the Rev. W. F. Hook. After the performance was over, which was about half-past two o'clock, a collection was made at the doors for the charity. The plates were held by ladies of rank and distinction. Among them we observed the Duchess of St. Alban's. The sum collected amounted to 236/., one hundred and three pounds more than was collected on the first day of the last Meeting. In the evening a concert was given in the College Hall, which was well fitted up for the occasion : a large transparency of the Royal Arms was placed at the orchestra-end of the Rooms. Among the company present we noticed Baron Cetto, the Ba varian Minister, the Countess of Coventry, Viscount Deerhurst, &c. &c. The concert commenced at half-past seven o'clock with Beethoven's Prometheus Overture. Madame Pasta and Zucehelli sung Mosca's duet " 10 di tutto," and were loudly applauded by the audience. Pasta, also, su ng " 0 come rap id a " (M e y er beer), and her f a vourite " Di Tanti," in which she was encored. Mozart's duet, " Sul l'aria" (Figaro), by Fasta and Caradori, was likewise enc ored. Signer Zucch e lli was encored i n " N o n piu andrai." . The second act opened with Mozart's fine Sinfoniain E flat. Mr. Braham in the Cantata, " Alexis," Obligato Violon cello (Lindley), was rapturously applauded. The concert was over about eleven o'clock ; and the day's entertainments concluded with a Ball in the large wpm of the Shire Hall. SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS., A rumour having travelled about the city yesterday, of certain absurd stipulations being, agreed to by England With the French Govern ment, respecting the terms on which Spain is to be evacuated by France , and Portugal by this country, we shall only express our hope and be lief that the rumour iS 55 untrue as the policy it, imputes to the British Government would be disgraceful. When it is said that if Spain should commit a military aggression upon Portugal, the troops of France are to withdraw ; and, on the other hand, that if Portugal should seek vi et armis to disseminate Constitutional principles in Spain, then England is to leave Portugal to her own resources ; one can but remark the same apparent desire to confound together, for the sake of being unjust with impunity, the facts and law of a simple question, which we have al ready so often had occasion to notice in the Moniteur and other Apostolic prints. The Frends army entered Spain in open violation of the nationa: independence of the Spaniards.— Franee kept her' troops in that country, while the Spanish Governinssnt was, with equal atro city, perpetrating a violation of the sovereign !rad the French rights of Portugal : although, Ambassador taken a part as zealous Ind i ndefati- gable against the treacherous invasion of Portu gal, as he notoriously did in favour of it, sio in vasion under the disguise of rebellion would bave been attempted. If, then, France be consistent in her politics, either she would have recalled her troops when she saw the criminal purposes to which their support and protection of Ferdi nand against his own subjects were, in the in stance of the late attack on Portugal, perverted; or she must meditate a breach of faith if she now promises to evacuate Spain in case of another outrage upon Portugal. This, we say, must be the fact, supposing that any foundation exists for the city report alluded to, and supposing that France be consistent. But in the name of all that is audacious or puzzle-brained, what means the attempt at connecting in any manner, the' • presence of the British troops at Lisbon, or their departure froni it, either by way of recipro city or analogy, with the political manseuvres of France, or the military movements of her forces ? —The motives of the English expedition had no affinity with those or" the French invasion. The French Bourbon Govern ment strove by a crime against the rights of nations and the honour of Kings to guarantee the re-establishment of a superstitious despotism over the Spaniards. The Government of George IV. discharged, when called upon, the imperious duties of honour and good faith, by protecting an Allied Sovereign and an outraged people, in the enjoyment, the one of his crown, the other of its liberties. The House of Bour bon committed an aggression—the House of Brunswick repelled one. The House of Bour bon destroyed a free Government by force— George IV. saved it from a foreign war, which had no other object but its overthrow. If Spain be now a province of Charles X., it was the in vasion, commanded by his son in person, which reduced a fine country to that shameful condi tion. If Portugal be not yet a province of Fer vvdinhaantdi, u sh g e gh o n vi g e , s t h h e a r n , s a f i e s t y i t t o w i t t h h e British com m common r s o e o l p i s s e . and honesty, to make the departure of the French troops, as was done by the frionzteur within these few days, contingent on, or in any wa y re lated to, that of the English forces ! It was not (at least avowedly) to break up the ancient and pacific alliance between the Crowns of Great Britain and Portugal; or to facilitate the con quest of the latter kingdom by Spain, that the Duke of Angouleme crossed the Pyrenees.— When, therefore, a pretext sc foreign to the sub ject isinvented, to palliate the continuance of the troops of France, what is it but saying that , 4 our real motive was, from the first, to assist King Ferdinand in the conquest of Portugal, and our troops shall not stir a yard from the Pe ninsula until, by the departure of the British force, the ally of England shall be left at the mercy of our Cousin ?" See, then, how dis honesty involves and perplexes its creatures.— Portugal neither menaced Spain, nor did Pedro ever dream of attacking her. This silly gossip about disseminating a Constitution vi et carats in Spain is a tolerable illustration of the mysti fying temper of these bigots in the cause of des potism. A Government at the head of 3,000,000 of men is to make an assault " vi et armisr upon the intellect of a nation of 12,000,000 ! The army we take for granted to be com posed of Benthamite philosophers—the bat tering train, of 1,000 printing-presses of the very heaviest calibre ! That the Peninsular questions will yet be settled,—happily settled, if not speedily—we have little doubt ; that they can be , so through any means as yet unfolded in the speculations of the Moniteur . and its brethren, we have no faith whatever.—Tones. which we extract from Th t e he fo G ll l o zg il o ig w p c ar h ag ro r n a not undeserving of attention at the present mo ment, when our fellow-citizens are suffering so much from the defects of the Police : " So effectual have been the exertions of the Police in extirpating crime from Calton, that there is not a case .at the present Assizes in which their evidence is required. This happy change is unprecedented since the establish ment of that flourishing borough. Last Assizes, Mr. Leckie had not less than twelve cases of theft before the Court ; but so successful has he been in clearing the bo rough from the stigma of being ' a den for thieves; their haunts have become so familiar to him, and their motions so closely watched, that the thieves have decamped to sumo more favourable field for pursuing their vocations unmo lested. The cases before the Calton Police Court are gene rally of a trivial nature, originating from intoxication; and do not at all affect the general morality and good conduct of the inhabitants." The borough of Calton forms part of the rich and populous town of Glasgow ; and if the exer tions of Mr. Leckie, the head of the Calton Po lice, have been successful in clearing that place of thieves, there is a strong presumption that the application of similar means would afford equal security in the metropolis. It has been said that there is something so pleasant in the employ ment of poaching, that it would be followed in us applymore gain for less labour. It is possible, however, that the the same principle preference r delightful occupation might become so trifling as to make tur il,eve even to o o m n e t he yielding very much of poaching, the m ost ecided amateurs relinquish it. Let to thieving. It can not be doubted that thieving must have peculiar attractions to many. That it is naturally much more pleasant to steal than to labour, may be inferred from the circumstance of almost all sa vages b e i ng ver y fond of thieving, and very un willing to labour. Nay , there is hardly a town in this island which does not contain one or more individuals in circumstances which place them far above necessity, who steal from the mere plea sure of stealing. If auctioneers, booksellers, who are obliged to wink at an d shopkeepers, many things, were to keep Diaries, some strange particulars would often be entered in them illus trative of this observation. These may be called
