would not lake under 3.. 6J. pet aeare for them,
and if he intended to take them he was to briog au
answer oe the Saturday following. Witness carried
iu the bill to Mr. Connell for 34. 6.1. per score, but
he said he would only give 2s. 6.l.—she then asked
him if he did not know before taking them ■way
what was to he the price ? lie answered in the
affirmative. She then asked what objection he had
to pay for them, but, instead of answering, he flung
the door in her face, ■ud left ,her. Witness is a
sister to.PlrintiH.
Cross-examirted.—Part of the property is tier's ;
PlaitiUtf and wittier' lived together ; never accounted
to each other for any money laid out.
[A. this was the case his Lordship struck her evi-
dence from his minister.]
Judith Dixon, servant to Elizabeth ilmlgson,
was present in the hack kitchen when the bargain
was mode for 3s. 6il. per score; there were 550,
which Milburn duew iu•o heaps, end she counted.

Robert Davidson went with Milburn to Hodg-
son's, and assisted in carting the edders part of the
way ; never saw any so large in his life.
(,'rose-emantined.—Witness's brother had worked
at vermin nearly thirty years.
IVatson Beeby, clerk witb Mr. Holme, solicitor
for the Plaintiff, was present when Mr. Coinedl
made a tender of 3/. 3s. he did not *object to the
number, but to the price; wanted them for 2s. or
Is. 6d.
I%lr. addressed the Jury on the part of
the Defend mt. After speaking of the Solicitor foe
the Plaintiff in a most vituperative strain, attempt-
ing to overthrow the foregoing evidence, particulsrly
Puginore's ; and mating the nature of the defence
he was about to set up, be proceeded to cull
Robert Milburn, of Little Corby, who stated,
that he went to Plaititifra house in order to buy
some willow edders for Mr. Connell—he asked
3s. 61 per score—in the kitchen at the time. Wit-
loess said it was far too mach—that he was em-
ployed by Mr. Connell, and if lie gave an extrava-
gain price he would be frowned ou by him, mid it
was far too much for them. %%intim said his mar
ter would give a fair and decent price for them—
times' prices. Mr. Richardson's (of' Marton) name
was to be given in with the bill, moil Defendatit
would pi the same price as he. The edders were
to be of the la..st kind, but when they came to
hand, above 100 of them were tint worth using—
no pessosi present when the bargain was made.
Cross-examined—Plaintiff cut them, which be
might du in one day—never s.iisl in the presence of
Judith Dixon 3s. 6d. was the price, or ever told
Mr. Connell so, boat told hint they were to be the
times' prices. Where they were purchased was
about ten miles from Mr. Connell's. One hundred
of them were put among the rice instead of earth,
for no other use, and were buried there. Never
told James Bs eby or Futucis Carruthers that
3s. 6,1. was the price.
By the Judge—The had ones were nearly all in
the last 150 which were brought.
William Earl, innkeeper at Warwick-bridge,
went in cert adders from Hodgson's to Defendant's;
(objected to several of them as being good for ism
ibmg, which he put on nue side, but they were
threwn back agam by Hodgson, who said they
were ter) good. awl would not give any other,.
John D seldom, brother of Robert Davidson, a
witness for Plaimolf ; saw the video.* that Mr. Con-
nell bought ; there were several had ones in the
400 which were biought first, but in the remaining
150 there were only 25 lit to be used in the first row
of the wear, and about the same *limber fit for the
second ; the remainder were thrown in far rice, sod
part went down the river; they were very irregu-
lar : some very good and slime very bed.
By the JUDGE—OiIIy, in his opinion, worth its.;
could have bougut better both before and since fur
Jesse money ; but never did buy ally ; had been
thirty years employed in mitring.
John Atkinson, Citldewgate, had hero in the
habit of selling eddeis ; never got more than Is. 3d.
for the very best.
Cross-examined—Never sold any willow edders;
all oak tweet ; would prefer hazel.

Franck Porter, of Cummersdale, had ' bought
adders of all soots ; .2s. ■ good price for them at the
place where they were to hr cut ; never knew them
as high as 3s. 6d.

Jrmes Dunlop, of Caldewgate, had Impe►in-
tended a great deal of wearing ; bought many
thousands; 2s. 6d. was the highest he ever gave fur
the very best during thirty years; oak sod hazel
best ; would not give so much for willows as the
others; had examined Mr. Connell's, they were a
black rough, and quite irregular; would not give
111. 6d. for them at the place where they grew.
Alexander Pugmure, Judith Dixon. and ltobert
Davirkon, were recalled, to prose that Milburn did
say they were 3.. 61 per score.
John Beeby hail ■ conversation with Milburn
last Ftirlay, in which he stated that they were to be
3s. 6.1. and bad ordeied liodgwei to cut them at
that price.

Cross examined—Unknown to him if he was any
coition of Wattoo Herby. •

James Stubh, joiner and cabinet-maker, who for-
merly worked with Plaintiff, remembered doors and
windows being carried away last November; the
doors were worth about 225. each, and the windows
29v. and 30s. tech. Defendant ordered witness and
his master to lake the doors to a place in Castle-

vered before Brown was arrested.
Cross-examined by Mr. A winnow a.—Hied heard
there was a borgain to finish the house for • certain

Catherine Bouatead, mother of Plaintiff; re-
membered going to purchase meat of Defendant
in February or March last—Plaintiff was with her ;
she bought a loin of mutton, and gave in payment
aU. note, out of which she received two guinea
notes, two pound notes, and 16.. in silver, which

give back to Brown ; her son offered them, and
said be hoped Brown did not consider the 10s. and
the leg of mutton as • final settlement for the doors
and windows, for which lie expected to be paid ;
Defetidant mid he did not, he might keep the 2s. as
• part of the payment, end he would pay I the
remainder at any time—Brown said they were a
substantial good job.
Cross-examined—Neter heard of a written agree-
went.

Re-examined.—Got the 5/. note from Mr. Sowerby,
of this city, who held some money iii trust for her
and her children.

James Gibbim, bricklayer, Carlisle, when seeking
some money which he wanted from Defendant, had
some discourse with him at Nathan Goulding's,
and witness told him that Boustead was going to
sue him. Brown aeked what for ? and wa. told by
Witness that it was for money which he (Brown)

Extract of 11 letter front Paris, dated Sept. 8 :
'"Flie Turkish fleets alter having retreated to Chio,
and received on board the troops winch had arrived
from Asia, net sail for Samos. Iluving disembarked
011 this island, the Turks fell upon the Greeks, but
they were repuleed, and obliged to regain the port.
At the same time the Greek fleet, to the number of
tun sail, attacked the Turkish ship+. The Greeks
directed their principal eflurts towards the centre of
the enemy's fleet, succeeded in throwing fire-balls
into it, and blew up eight of the Turkish drips.
The Ottoman fleet then sailed tiff. The Greeks
took four ships, sunk seve►ul, and possued the re-
mainder. It is probable that the wreck of this fleet
sill fell into the hands of the Greeks. It was com-
posed of four ships of the hire, rime frigates, five or
pig corvettes, mud thirty or forty transports. It is
said that Cura Ali, the Admiral, has been made
prier:intr. The battle, of *lnch the above is n►
account, took pluce on the 4401 of July, in the
view of Slums."
