King George lIL, by the Right Honourable John Hobart,
Earl of Buckingham.—Auetor pretions Judi." On the

covered. Pursuit was at once given, and one was speedily
captured at Two Bridges ; the other gave a longer chase,
and was run down about two miles from Tavistook.
Tilt Asuroie Rlors.---At the Ashton Borough'

cerned in the disturbances at St. Mary's Roman Catholic
Chapel. on the evening of the 10th instant, after the Riot
Act had been read. Two others, named John Garlick and
John Phillips, were also sent for trial for taking part in
the riot on the following evening. Both were proved to
have been in possession of weapons; and Phillips was
alleged to have cried out, ' 5/. for an Irishman^ ; while
the other declared that he himself "could lick 17 Irish."
All the three were admitted to bail. Four other persons,
all Irish, were brought before the magistrates, and re-
manded._

THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—The PAO Of "Glen
v. Caledonian Railway Company was In the first division
of the Court of Session Edinburgh, on Thursday, on a
reclaiming-note spinet Lord Ortnidale's interlocutor re-
fusing interim-interdict spinet payment of the dividends
for the year ending 31st January, 1818, and against apply-
ing certain SUMO of capital raised under recent extension
acts to any other purposes than those fied in
the acts. 'The dividends for last half-ye have been
paid since the reclaiming-note was presented, end
the court, without calling on the railway com-
jy's (waned, adhered to the Lord Ordinary's
gmest, on the simple grounds that it was absurd to
wonounce an interim order (which was not a judgment
in the cause, but merely a means of weserving an existing
state of things) prohibiting an set which has already
been done ; sad that no sufficient mason has been alleged
for supposing that the directors were about to misappro-
priate the 550,0001. raised under the Callender and Oben
Railway Act end other acts, such as to call for the
summary remedy of interim-interdict. If the came goes
an further, a record will be mede up in the Outer House,
aaa probably after a proof judgment given on the merits.
