practices.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

Sitting' in BISCO. —(Before Lord Chief Joatios Erie, and
Justices Willem, Byks, and Keating.)
WARNS! V. °cum —ILLICIALLT TAKING TOLL. _

This was an appeal against a deoisioe of two juetioee, who
bed convicted the appellant, • toll collector, of having
illegally takes a turnpike toll of sd. upon seven
beasts and seven sheep. It appeared that the
owner of the animals was • farmer and cattle
dealer ; and be having bought them at Lined* market,
sent them into • pasture belooging to him for one
night, and the next day he put them into another
of his, inteadiog oa the third day to send them to Carr-
ham market for rim On their way from one pasture to
the other they travelled along the turnpike-road from
200 to 300 yards, and through the gate where the
toll was demanded. The magistrates held that no toll was
payable, because the 3 George IV., mip. 126, and 1 and 2
William IV., cap. 25, exempted from toll such animals when
they were pulling from pasture to pasture. This decision
was sow appealed against.
Mr. Cleasby appeared for the appellant, and Mr. Welsby
for the respondent.
Oa behalf of the appellant it was contended that the
real object in moving the beasts and sheep from field to
field was only to " freshen " them for market, and not to
pasture them within the meaning of the statute ; and that
therefore there was no exemption from toll.
The Court held that no toll was payable under the cir-
cumstances, and they affirmed the conviction.
Appeal diamineed.

Mr. Wooliyelt said the police-timetable had acted with
great courage and humanity and had saved the life of a
fellow creature.
The prisoner was asked why she attempted to drew*
herself. to which she replied, " mad of my life."
Mr. Woobych—A very wicked thing, indeed, to attempt
to destroy your own life. You have been prevented by the
intrepidity of that me* (Greany)freen putting your design
in execution. Where do you live!
The primmer—Nowhere.
Mr. Woolrych—Yes, you do. You live somewhere, or
have lived somewhere. Whet is the cause of this

Tab Arisa.lenn•. —Beyond the bare fact stated
in the eppraisseest filed to the Court of Exchequer, that
the Alexandra has bees mined " for being equipped, fur
niahed, and fitted out with latest to be employed in the
service of persons exerciaiag, or mourning to exercise, the
powers of self-government in and over a foreign state, colony,
province, or people," the government has allowed no
information to leak out as to the particular native of
the depositions lodged against her. The cam was to have
been heard before our stipendiary magistrate, but it has
since been determined, we believe, to try it io the Kocher
quer Court. It is said that ooe of the depositions against
the Alemedra is signed by a shipping master of this port
named De Costa. If such be the cue we may poetess
that he is one of the numerous persons employed just sow
by the Federal cooed to obtain information.
valve (9,5001.) placed on the vessel is somewhat small,
owing, doubtless, to the fact that she is is es unfinished
state. It should be understood that the vowel has been
seised by the Crown, and that Messrs. Samuel Prim Edwards,
John King. W. C. Kellock, and H. B. Watson, whose none.
appear at the foot of the appraimment, had nothing what-
ever to de with the information laid against her ; but had
merely to certify as to her value—Liverpool Alttoa.
