Wa have this morning received a letter from Mr.

The following is all extract trout the letter above

'" Between the bows of one aewl two o'clock on Wallet,-

fire arms ; I repeatedly slimed .ire, th►. ouly gun is my
house baying got weeme the neosatal% the day before. How-
ever, barrow at length succeeded is re4eradiag it. I fired se-
veral shots, which so irritated the ruffians Heat they at length
proceeded to pot their ablest of burring the house iuto rue-
folios. Huang observed the bourse un Are, I rushed out at

they, however, were so alarmed by the dash, that they led
iii different directimis, leafing in way possession, nine horses,
a riding coat, sword, and some other articles; the darkens
of the sight precluded the possibility of further pursuit."

message to John Wickham. Esq. to intimidate bins
from the execution of his duty, as a Magistrate.—
Ordered to find buil, himself in 100/. and two sol-
vent sureties in sof. each, to keep the peace for
seven years.
The Reconnsa observed to the traverser that he

was indebted to the lenity of the Magistrate in
not proceeding against hint by indictment, as, had
he done ro, the punishment should have been far
more exemplary.
Michael fluky was prosecuted by Mr. Adam
Corneal, fur having assaulted him on the 16th of
August last, by striking him with a spade, and at
the same time saying that he would kill him for
having gone out at night, assisting the Magistrates

,the hearing of a crowded Court, oisored him that
long imprisonment and whipping ohyuld have been

his senterice if it had been proved his view was to
annoy Mr. Corneal for the laudable assistance he
and his respectable family and friends had afforded

CORK ASSIZES.
COUNTY R WORDS.
LESSEE OF wutai:n V. LINDSEY.

Thi. was an ejectment me the idle brought to re-
cover the possersion of a certain form, near Camp.
druhitl, in Musker►y, containing 304 acres. let in the
year 1784 at 55/. per minium, on the wound that it
was ►et at ande► value.

It appeared that on the marriage of the late
Sir Atignitus Wurreit a settlement iris executed,
heating date the 23d of June, t 778, by which his
father, Sir Robert Warreo, conveyed the lands
fur which the settlement was brought, amongst
others, to trusters, making himself tenant for life,
with a power to make leases fur three lives, or
forty-one years at the least, improved rent and with-
out tine.

Sir Itobett Warren executed a lease of the lands
of Kilitiordribh, hearing date the 3d of June, 1784.
to the Defriidant'a grandfather, for a term of
41 fear■ at the rent abuse stated, and the question
f,,f the Jury was. whether 551. was a fair rent fur
these limits in 1754.
_ _

The I'l * .tfinailitained that there wasno ground
for arrouoting why Sir Robert let these grounds
by lease so much under value, except by prestress-
ing he gat a secret cmisideralion for it, no proof was
brought of this; but be endeavoured to establish
the fact from the circumstance, that Mr. Lindsey
immediately let these lands himselfat 10s. per acre,
reserving only a small ',officio of 80 acres for a de-
mesne for himself, and that the rem by which he
held the whole would *mount to only about 3s.
per acre, the customs cif a fair held on the ground
producing 6/. per annum. lle was, however, bound
by the lease to Illy ont 100 barrels of lime yearly
upon these Lipids; and it appeared there was a part
of theta very coarse, yielding nothing but fern at
that time, but he greatly improved it and rendered
it tnle►ahly good ground.
The Cons's% early in the trial, premised to the
Jury that this was a question wholly fur their con•
sideration. Six or seven perilous were examined—
persons who held a part of these lands, or who held
other grounds near them, and they all nearly con-
curred in giving their °ma'am that these lands were
worth 10r. per acre at the time they were let, and
Defendant produced a withers who proved that he
took ground of • better quality at the same time at
ss. 10d. per acre.
The Jury retired, and after deliberating for two
or three hours, returned into Court, and declared
there was no prospect of their agreeing, and a
Juryman was then withdrawn by consent.
