DUBLIN. Ana. 11

Oa Monday last came on the Assizes held at Phi-
l'pstown, for the King's county, before Lord Avow-
flaar, an anion of assault and false imprisonment,
wherein Oliver Hinds was the Plaintiff, and John
Warn. fordA,mstrong, was the Defendant.
.The Plaintiff's case was laid before the Court by
Mr. ,Berj,ant Moose, in an el cent and impressive
in".!•ner. He stated that the Plaintiff Was in the
himibleit sphere of life, a labourer and a servant, to
Mr. John O'Connor, a gentleman of high respeta-
bitty in ahat county. The Defendant was well
known for his great services to Government; he
was a Magistrate for the county, and Captain of the
BallyeumberAeomanry. On the 19th of Novem-
ber last the flaintiff received orders from his master,
Mr. O'Connor, to carry alowling-piece, shot-bag,
and powderAurgr; fo Ballymahon, where he Wan to
Idea some friends. in order to proceed on a shooting
party. The Plaintiff' proceesled a short way before
his master, and was met on the high road by the
Defendant, Mr. Armstrong, who demanded from
him where he was going, and who owned the gun ?
The Plaintiff answered that the gun belonged to his
master, Mr. O'Connor, for whom he was carrying
it, and that he was a short . way behind, on his way
to Ballymahon, where he was going to shoot. The
Defendant demanded if the Plaintiff had taken ont
al licence, or was qualified by law to kill game ? to
which the Plaintiff candidly answered he was not,
having never fired a shot in his life—and then the
Defendant wired the gun, took it from the Plaintiff,
carried it away, and never returned it since. .
The Plaintiff on this returned to his matter, who
was a short way behind, and having informed him of
what had happened, Mr. O'Connor followed Mr.
Armstrong, and in mild and proper terms requested
he would deliver up to him his fowling-piece, which
he had taken from his servant • Mr. Armstrong rer
plied that he would not ; that he had taken it as
Magistrate of the King's county, under the authorir.
ty of the Game Laws; and the gun he kept, and
still detains. Mr. O'Connor wrote to Gcn. Trench,
Commander of the Digrie. The General wrote
to Mr. Armstrong to return the fowling-piece, and
Mr. Armstrong answered to the same purport as he
answered Mr. O'Connor, and refused to comply.

Ten days after the fowling•piece had been taken,
the Plaintiff was arrested by a constable, on a war-
rant issued by the Defendant, and charging that ne
tad been eonvieted on a peailty of 201 under the
GAM:' ACt. For a day and a half the Plaintiff was
kept a close prisoner under this warrant, and then
without any demand of bail, or Any demand of the
pecu-;ary penalty, given by the statute, he was dis-
cht.i.g!d by order of the Defendant.
This case being satisfadorily proved by two wit-
nesse, his Lordship advised the Defendant to
make a rerompence.
The Defendant's Counsel offered 201. and that
each party should pay their o.vn costs. This was
rejefted by the Pla...atirs Counsel, but they offered
to accept 201. damages, carrying the costs. But
thi. the Defendant's Couns:.l refused.

, -Lord AVON 4012 E. 161 c:1 t: ging the Jury, old
them that the ease was fully proved, and no fat of
justificatiur. had been given in evidence. Twenty
pounds had been offered, therefore the Defendant
had himself estimated the damage infiifted by him
on the Plaintiff; but the Jury, if they thought
proper, might find more.
The Jury retired for a short time, and brought in
a verdia for the Plaintiff of One Guinea damages
and 6d. costs.

Mr Di moms, son of the Manager of the Theatre
at Bath, and Author of several Ihumatic Pieces,
died on Friday on his road to that City from London.
Oa Saturday sennight, arrived at Whitby from
Dantric, but last from the Isle of lessoe, in the

many other vessels of the Carystert's convoy, some
of which, with their crews, were tot illy lost, in the
fatal storm of November last), the Sapp(v,

CORN BILL.—It seems il/Rt by provideceJt

a heavy burtheo, which the rapacity and:ave.

the shape the Bill appears now, it defeats thee
o'ajeft, and the extension of an unrestriaCd insp. ft

most beueficial cons.luences, particularly to ism-
'rent the advance in price with Which the coganm-.
uity were so daringly and insulting) y threatened, so
soon as it was known that the Bill should .0111.
Meate its operation on the 15th of August. The
public are well aware that a very great steak dart f

equally known that the warehouses in London end

and Konigsberg. at least 500,000 quarteol may

we may venture to say, the evil day is removed for 1
a considerable period. Nevertheless it is to ber

A. xxtrzi annottnrp TO THE MAYOR Or NEW
YORK, SNOSM TNaLL 1.1:1SIC!111141.
" Si er,
" We, the subscribers, having heard that a ma-
lignant disease had made its appearance at the Wia-
lehoght (on Long Island, opposite New York),
have considered it our duty to exaniine minutely
into the accuracy of this report, and to tun tttt it to
you, as the First Magistrate of this city, the mule
of our enquiries. It appears a brig arrived there,
some days ago, from Port-au-Prince, in the Island
of eit. Domingo—that she came to the wharf near
Me. srs. Holmes and Little, who live opposite to
each other, and that the crew went on shore to the
grocery store set Mr. Little, for the purpose of pur-
cha,ing such things as they wanted.
" Before the arrival of this vessel, the place was
healthy ; hut, since the discharging ()flier ballast, se-
veral persons have been taken sick. She also had
on board two barrels of tainted beef, which ss ere
ordered by Dr. J. Bailey, of the health department,
to be sunk.
" It further appears, that the cold. ,ff the ressd
did on the ; the particulars of whose com-
plaint we have not been able to learn. During the
period in which the brig remained at the %short; the
wind blew from the North East, and it could he
evidently tracci, that the persons who sickened,
lived in the dilation to whie.h the wind blew.
" A pilot boat (the schooner Hisind) is now also
lying near the shore, lately arrived from St. Do-
anivo, with French passengers. The persons who
assisted to pump the bilge water out of the hold,
declare it was so offensive a smell, that sonic ac-
tually sickened, and were obliged to leave her.
This information we derived from Mr. Isaac Brown
and George Little, residents there. Mrs. Little was
the first person who appears to have been taken se-
riously ill, after the arrival of these vessels. tier
complaints were marked with great debility, but
unaccompanied by those symptoms that designate
the yellow fever.
" To the North East from her house, resides Mr.
Jones, whose wife died a few days past of female
complaints—her mother has also died of asthma.
hi neither of those cases were any symptoms of yel-
low fever to be traced.
On the 20hh inst. Philip Dring, a ship car-
penter, residing at Mrs. Helm's (close to where the
brig lay), was seized with a fever, of which he
died within a kw Jays, and which, according to the
declaration of his physicians, W 4: accompanied by
the most unequivocal symptoms of yellow fever.
4. Jane Johnson, who aged the part of nurse in
the family of Mr. Little, was seized on the 22d,
with symptoms of yellow fever, and died on the
95th, with black vomit. From the contiguity of
her apartment to the house of Mr. Dring, there is
no doubt but the infeaion was communicated.
" In the neighbourhood of Mr. Junes, at the
mill, resides William Sherlock. His wife was seized
on the 22J, and died on the evening of the s,:tttli,
with the most dreadful yclivni:
" The followinv persons are now atitually labour-
ing under the disease :—Esiward Livingstone, James
Mrs. Dring, Sarah IVakeman, and Mrs.
Uri:ridge, who attended Mrs. Dring.
" From this statement it appears, that three have
died of the yellow fever, and that five are labouring
under the disease. We do not wish to hazard a
prognostic, its to what may be the termination of
either of them, except in the instance of Edward
Livingstone., whose symptoms indicate speedy dis-
solution. We forbear making any comment, we
only wish to present such. a statement of fats, as
may enable you to take the most proper means for
the preservation of the health of OUT city."
N. B. Two women have been veiled since this
report.
