AN ENEUTI AT

.--RIGHT OP COY-

sm.—Tide eery quiet borough, was last week the scene
of a disturbance whisk bat already sailed f.r mains
MAW iutereosition, and will no doubt tame the attention
of the wigs Gad gowns at the approa hiss quarter sessions of
the puce for this county. As far as we, the Devonshire
Chronicle, can understand the merits of the cue, they are
these : —lt smears that about the)e ar 1260 • gift of 300
sacs of commonable lend as made to the inhabitants of
the borough of Okehnapton. This land, which is extremely
good pasturage, was enjoyed by the inhabitants without
distutbseee or molestation until about tort'. years ago,
when an isnovation ciannenced. It is Wilalll the me-
mory of persons now living that the lord of tha manor
sesamenetd to dopamine@ on the c =mon during the
summer halt of the year which he has since
defined to do as a right. Fee the last forty
pus it is evident that the Inhabitants hive been
onatent with the restriction of their right, to a departure=
daring Os winter half of toe ye ir only. Unfor tinily for
the peat. of Okehampton, some how or other measures were
taken to bring the common under the operation of the In.
11110111U0 Act, and the Intel of the mum (the Rev. 8. Bran.
thaw) having, on account of rte forty years' wane before
alit ed to, calmed halt 01 the crenate es hie, it w. a under-
stood that the other half would be appropriated to the et r•
potation, to be by them sold or let as Decision offered, and
the no any administered for the benefit of the to en. The
tensity of this arrangement, by which the advantage cf
this au come= would be for ever lust to the inhabitants of
°huh- nepton, we will not now disews. It will be sufficient
to Ka se that ads delay took plea in the etropletion of
the enclosure, sad the day arrived when, sceorditg to
annual condom, the rights of the blabit..nts to the winter
pwturage would eoallaellea. A notice was however issued
ty the valuer, in accordosee with the t-r •• of ties ace, sus-
pending ail be sommonable rights. This was net heeded,
and sheen were drives to the common as wine,. Ationg the
inhabitants who thas acted is maintenance of tit• it rights,
real se suppmed, was Mr. Ludtek, • r• sot et tiole resident,
when proceedings in this way motored hit. highly p-pulu
with his p.orer neighbours. Whatever may be said to the
costrely, it is evict. rot' that Mr. Ludiek's hiving an acted
rendered him partksdarly °bunions to these who
wert employed to enforce the valuer's crier. Several
attempts were therefore made to impound his
sheep (those of no otter person appeared to have
Isms sought for), std accordingly, at a very early hoar on
Friday morning last, 57 sheep of hum flock were " distrait:id"
by the servants of the lord of the sawn, and plead in the
poled. This was • climax, of what is called, among the suf-
ferers, a great public oppression, and a number of men hav-
ing been drawn together, they proceeded to take the sheep
oat of the pound, in doing whisk it is alleged • row or riot
was got up, for which the following Samuel Lateliek, George
Palmer, Joha krcet, William Freer, Thomas Hodge, John
Jimmie., Odes LiLyerep, Absalom rainier, Stephen Redo,
teed J+mss Squawm, were sammoned before the magistrates
of Okehampton, on Thursday, lest, and held to bail, to appear
, et the new quarter aortas for this county.

He did not see what became of the its= or the dogs, but

dogs; half bred. On Crtela-filaliaa,/011 the witness ad-
mitted there was a culvert in thi field, running under SW

Thomas Cunt, porter at the Union, was charged with se-
verely beating Charles Slack, a poor half-imbecile creature.
It appeared that the poor creature had been out of the

Feeley power to inflict chastisement on th • inmates ?—Mr.
Fishily replied that they did not, but this man was not an
