THE IMO V. TUEntII7"..L.
. . .

The tlefendant. Wll.7;ascot;;iCtedWthe last York Assizes, of
hi,i);g, with another man, of the name of Taylor, violently as-
saulted an Esc-me °Seer, at Illorpeth, in Yorkshire, while in the
theehargs of 1)1+ duty, was sentenced to six months imprisonment
inlhe fleas eof Correction at Alorpeth, and to find securities for
his geed b,.hat tour for three years, himself in 501. and two others
in 101. tacit.

THE ICING V. IT.EIIDER.

The defendant was an Excise officer. At the ]oat Gloucester
A•s+i's he pleaded guilty to an indictment, charging him with
having wrongfully appropriated to his own use two sums of money,
.arnoun.ing to 81. 18s. which had been received by him from some
brewris at Gloucester. Ile wee sentenced to six months' imprison-
ment in Gloucester gaol.

THE ILINGv. JAMES STAMP SUTTON COOIE.
The defendant, it will be remembered, was convicted at the
Stafford Araizea of creating a riot on the lands of Lord Stafford.
Mr. TAUNTON, fur several terms past, has been regularly in
the habit of moving that Mr. Cooke should be brought up to re-
ceive judgment, which applications have been as habitually
avoided on the part of the defendant, by the fortunate inducement
of a fit if the gout at the precise time.
Mr. TAUNTON, this day, made his customary application to
have Mr. Cooke brought up for judgment.
Mr. CAMPBELL, as usual, said that he had affidavit* stating
that Mr. Cooke well labouring under an attack of gout, and that he
could not come up without the greatest danger to his life.
Mr. 'faux TON said that it was very unfortunate for these affi-
davits that he, himself, had seen Mr. Cooke, and spoken to him on
Moneay last, when he gave his word that he would attend this
day to receive the judgment of the Court.
The affidavits were put in. They stated that he had been sud-
denly seized with an attack of illness yesterday afternoon, about
live o'clock.
The Loan CnIEF JUSTICE—None of these affidavits are made
by a medical man.
Mr. I .ANIPBEL I. prayed that judgment might be respited till
Mr. Cooke should he sufficiently recovered to attend the Court.
TI e LOILDCHIEP JUSTICE—I think the utmost we can say is,
. that we will wait till to-morrow, to give you an opportunity of get-
. ring affidavit of a medical man. Here are four affidavits, and
only one made according to the rules or the Court.

THE: RING I. COLLINS AND OTHERS.
Mr. TAUNTON said, that as he had taken nothing by his last
motion. and as he was apprehensive he should not be able to catch
Mr. Cooke this term, he hoped the Court would allow him to make
another motion. He applied for a rule to show cause why a writ of
quo ware auto should not issue against Collins and ethers, burgesses
of the borough of IVeymouth. This application was similar to one
which the Learned Counsel moved fora few days ago against the
Mayor of this borough, and was to try whether their election was
good. having been sworn in by a Mayor whose election was
lad.—Rule ;panted.
