.....
James Doran, • young man of rrdy dandy-like appear-
aloe, eras cap.tally indicted for strailisig • mare, value 501.
awl a bridle mid saddle, the property of George Gaynor.
Mr. Au.av staged die case to the Jury with his usual
ability, die circumstances of which were proved in evidence
as (011111/18
Mr. Gwynne is • stationer, living in Patereioster-row, and
lie hail • valuable mare, which he advertised for sale. On
the 15th of Febeinry the Pi isomer called on him about Loo
he staled that lee should wish to have Iwo days tint of the
titan. Prosecutor told him he was • airmigcr to him, and
he could not permit him to have the mare two days, but be
was about to take a ride upon 'smith r, and if the Prisoner
thought proper lee might accompany bum. He accepted the
offer, and they rude 10 Taitersall's toter her. Hire the Pri-
soner said he waisted to cousolt a friend about 11w mare,
and went Wei Tattersall's yard, but returned in about fin
mduutr,, mid said his trieud was not Hine. The Prisons r
addcil, that his friend lived in Gloucester:place, but as a ass
too late to see bun he would accompany the Prosecutor
home, and send his servant for the horse iu the. morning.
Pi coecultir told him, that as he knew nothing of loin (die
Prisoner) be should not let the mare go, but that he would
send his servant *sib her if he gave him his adding.
The Prisoner accordingly gave him the address of " J.
Doran, at Mr. Young's, 2s, Parliament-street, Westmin-
ster," and Prosecutor agreed, upuud the rep Isamu of the
Prisoner, that his friend would be at Mr. Young's the next
day, to stud the mace at five o'clock in the evening.
Prosecutor accordingly sent his groom with the mare to
Mr. Young's, and on mummy he was nut there, Inn while he
was riding the horse up and down the street, the Prisuutr
caner up to him, and told him he would take the mare to
his friend, and send her back by half-past four o'clock. This
groom gave the mare into his custody (although not autho-
rised to do so`;, and the Prisoner did sot return with it.
Mr. Anogrtius mooted an objection in favour of the
Prisoner, that it was • bargain, and not a felony. It was,
however, overruled, without going to au argument.
Mr Young, of Parliament-street, proved that the Prisoner
sad livid with him about two year since; and said lie had
given him authority to have • letter direted there, for a
zentleman named; but that he had smut gives Lim any fur-
ther authority.
The ivory, without much hesitation, pronounced the
Prisoner Guilty—Death.
Pending this trial, tonnes of some well-knows "Ckaanfers
Horses," as they art trohnirslly callt d, had bens intro-
duced, who made sure that the law would met reach them.
At length, however, they will perceive, that the law, al.
though moving slowly, will be sufficiently effective to crush
their resistive pursuits.

Letters from H4uover state, that the Duke and
Duchess of CLAkENCL will Srt out from Hanover,
on their return to England, at the end of 'lst pre-
sent or in the begtunsug of the next month.

The refusal of the Duke de Rtctlet.tan to accept
the pension voted to him, is said to have reached the
Chamber of Peers on Tuesday last.

In cutting the new work to join the Eau Brink,
at the depth of 24 feet from the ►urface of the
earth, and in a bed of shingle, a quantity of various
kinds of marine shells were found; and from thence
Mr. LAYToN, of Iteedham, took out a pair of
beautiful antlers attached to the upper port of a
skull, with every toeth remaining in its socket, iii
a recent ►tote, which corresponds exactly with the
zoological description of the roebuck. Above the
slimier, in a stratum of strung uoze,.about ten feet
thick, quantities of alder trees and roots are found.

TRIUMPH OF JUSTICE, ASO

(Continued from oor Paper of Asterday.)

This I.olto NIAVOIa called us' those vsha were fur the ad.

fhe EArl of Charlensont and Mr. Grattan were appuinawl
Teller., with Mr. Ellis mild Mr. Cole.
Mr. STCRAtit TIGKIL spoke • few words in favour of
Catholic F.lstanciptime,
When he was called upon by Mr. Ellis to know whether he
was a Fre. mail, a Freeholder, or a Householder!
Mr. Ttou►. replied, he via. • Gentleman of independent
fortune, rad that he was possessed of property iii the City of
It Was now agreed upon that a division should lake place
—those for the adjournment to retire. The vet y, boweve.,
rernstil to go out, Home% they had previously assented to
the motion, and by this means created much conflivi (((( .
The Lotto Mr run now put the porton, un the first
Resolution, which he stet land was trifled 111 the affirmative.

Mr. ELLIS called for n 111111161 M.
Great dissatisfaction followed this demand, as the sup-
porters of the adjournment had declined acceding to the
olely practicable mode of dividing.
Mr. IVAt.i.ace said, he came forward fur the purpose of
speaking to order, and would nut do ►o if lie slot nut p
ceive that order avid decorum were monstrously outraged.
The Learned Gentleman who had opposed the proceedin:s,
he was convinced from his knowledge of him, did au, Ireeretese
he conceived it to be elle line he ought to pursue; beet,
nevertheless, in his opine .... , r ad that of the greet majority of
the Mns ling, glee Learned Geotirman was mistaken ; however,
he was OW the Gentleman hod come forward an a 'wady
manner to defend his *pediments. But when he made the
proposition of dividing as. large a Meeting as the present one,
he t hare been aware of the impossibility of doing so. The
only practicable mode of nacre mining with prel•rsion the
dissentient persons to the object of that \letting was, that
the Gentlemen who differed in opinion from it should with.
draw 111 another apartment. This proposition, although
passed unanimously, has lest hoes, acted, d to. He therefore
huh to propose a means which, weeder the eiccuinatances, was
but 1013111111.11 to drslnrb the order and unanimity of the
Meeting. It was, that the Resolutions should be put, and
the sense of the Meeting taken on each by the voice of the
Assembly, and that afterwards tans Gentlemaie who had voted
in Coveter of the question, might authenticate his vole with
his signature. Ily till. means we should know also were
the Friends of Freedom and Toleration, while the other
party, who 'tuella doubtless convene a counter
would have an °plant emity of framing whatever itexolutions
:hey may think proper on that OCCBIIIOII, and might collect
from 1 se to biome the few signatures they could obtain,
and the public would thus be ■lute to appreriatr those who
hail an honourable feeling towards their countsy.—(Loterl
and reiterated applatae.)
Ilene, idler 'uncle warm 'peaking by Aldermen Archer
mid Mr. Ellis, the A Weeniest' called on the Lord Mrlor ra.
tertarly to state, whether it was his lAotialeip's °pillion that
the first RlVOllliioll was carried. .

His Lordship declared in the ■6iirovlive, upon which
Alderman Archer and Mr. Ellis withdrew, lulloweil by Mr.
Long, Mr. Maciuls y, and wren or eight other individuals,
