SCOTCH JURY COURT, ABERDEEN.

LIABILITY OP APPTAF.NI ICE.A-TERRALL •. PF.TRRS.

This Wils a question of no small importance. as it respected
All,toers and Apprentices. It calm on fur heal ing before
Lord Pit hilly, 400 a Jut)', in the above Court, slam ly, whe-
ther " a youth hound to arty particular trade could be made
to perform menial offices, wholly unconnected with that
trade." The case excited much interest, particularly on the
pwt tof the Masters. The plaintiff is a saddler, in the parish
of Invcrary, and the defendant was bound to him fat the put.
pose of learning the art and mystery of his trade. In the
Indenture, a clause, particularly bound him to teach the said
apprentice " the hnsiuess of a saddler•." The parties having
disagreed, separated, and the plaintiff applied to the Court of
Sessions, and a " charge of horning" issued for the amount
of the penalty, on the ground that the defendant had wilfully
and negligently deserted the plaintiff's service. The charge
of horning was, however, on the application of the defendant
suspended, he asserting that the cause of the defendant's,
►eavin was on acconnt °lbis (the defendant) refusing to per-
form certain menial offices, wholly unconnected with his
trade as a saddler, and also that he had repeatedly offered to
return if lie slunild not lie employed in any other capacity
than that relative to his trade.

After hearing the allegations on both side■, the Court of
Sessions referred the ease to the Jury Court, to try, first,
whether the defendant had left, as was alleged, his situation
wilfully and Negligently. or not ? or whether it was solely on
account of his being directed to perform menial offices, a holly
unconnected with the wade of a saddler? and, secondly,
whether or not the defendant had repeatedly offered to retnrn
to his duty, but had been refused to be taken bark by Ilk
seasrer? The evidence Lid before the Jury was deeideilly in
favour of the defendant; while on lire other hand, the allega•
Copts of the plaintiff, the the defendant was in the habit of
getting intoxicated, and neglecting' his business, were wholly
unsupported by evidence. The Juiry, after au able address
from the Judge, who, in strong terms, animadverted on the
condect e►l those masters who take youilis apprentice, and
instead M. teaching them their business, set them to the per.
romance of menial (Arun wholly unconnected with it, found
for the defendant, vvitliont a moment's hesitation, on both
counts, with costs.

On Sunday the Ith ii. Cant. a young couple attended at the
parish chorea of Leeds, for the purpose of being married.—
The ceremony had already commenced, when the intended
bridegroom, after atiparently deliberating fora moment or
two, exclaimed, " I think not Itit'e thee, Wier all!" and
immediately left the church. The situation of the lair one,
thus deserted, may be readily cons rived.

Crowds of most respectable spectators surrounded die dock as early
as one o'clock. The river opposite was covered with boats. The
vessel herself seemed crowded on deck, and in all the interior apart-
ments. l'reeis sly at two o'clock the Honourable Miss Townsend
(daughter of Viscount Sydney) was conducted to the prow of the
ship, and a bottle of Madeira. suspended by a small cord from the
upper part of the variel, was pin into her hand. Slic flang the

flie 9111 inst. lie prisoner was sheeting by his wite's s'de, in
Jew's Itow, Chelsea, and was aecoshig her of if: iiiikennesv.
replied that if elm were so given, it was truing to his
this lot: her to vice toe his benefit. The prisoner pm his right
heed to the right side of his waistcoat for a minute, and
wllllOlll speekina, made a violent plunge at les wife's stomach
with his baud. Sire staggered hock and extiatmed. Oh, my

She was couveyed to St. Gem: Ws Hospital, where she ex•
pi red on Saturday morning. ‘Vltile being eon ve)ed to the
Office, he stated that he overheard a conversation in the
Coach and Horses, between his wife and anent with whom he
suspected she hail indulged in acts 411' ennellbillilge. In the
course of this emivellation she said she would get up and
return, and continue with him ( the person wit It whom she held
the converaation) all night ; and that he, the prisoner, having
a knowledge of her infidelity, was determined to thwart
them ; and hence lie had resolved on the commission of this
barliaroue decd. It was also mentioned that lie had con-
tern plated die performance of the horrible act for nearly a
fortnight. He is about five feet seven or eight inches high,
and very far from well-looking. lie did nut manifest the
slightest agitation during his rea iii ill ation ; and stated, that
though lie knew his situation to be very awful, he was per_
fectly conscious, and satisfied with what had happened. He
Was committed to Tuthill-fields prison, till an inquest shortie'
be held on the body, and on Tuesday was again brought up
before the silting Magistrate, Mr. White, The evidence, as
given before the Coroner, corroborating the facts, as above
stated, being read, and the prisoner not havirig any thing .0
offer in his defence, he was fully committed to take his trial
at the next Old Bailey Session.
FLEST Peisna.—On Saturday, the 13th inst. at five o'clock
in the afternoon, this prison was the scene of A most atrocious
and deliberate act or murder. .11..Leerwoort, a tailor, bit.
prison* d for debt, had fumed in the skittle ground a letter
vr bleb had been dropped byenother primmer of the name of
John De dy, an Jr ialinten, ;which contained some very un-
pleasant disclosures respecting that person ; he handed the
letter to Lewis, the keeper of the chaudler's shop, he order to
be given to the owner. Dealy, teelitee incensed at Leer-
wood for not deliveriug the letter into Ina own hands, went to
the shipboard where lie was working, seized a sleeve-board,
and struck Leerwood a blow on the temple, which felled him
to the gromol, and continued beating him in the most furious
manlier, till interrupted by the. other prisoners. The tinfor•
emulate victim of his rage was taken np in the most pitiable
conditirm, and immediately carried to the hospital, a here,
notwitlistaridine every surgical aid, he entitled on Allonday
morning at eight Weluck. Leerweud has lett seven children,
dud only three weeks ago fouled his wife. lie bore the cha-
racter era very honest, quiet, and industrious mail.
On Tuesday eveniug an inquest was held on the body, at
the Fleet Prisou, before T. Shelton, Esq. when Charles John-
stone, a pi isurier iii the Fleet, being sworn, said, on Saturday,
about tee minutes before five, lie was standing th feet flout the
window, opposite to it : saw the deceased fall from the shop-
board, (deceased was a tailor.) Witness saw him working a
few initiates before. Stepping up to the window', saw a man,
named Dealy, beating deceased with a stets e•board. deceased
being upon thegiountl. Witneas opened the wiudow, and wit-
nestiiiig the violence, called out for aasittaece, arid said to
Dealy, " In the name of God, don't you kill rite wan ;" upon
this Dealy seized the deceased and tura( d him upon his
belly, and seizing his thigh, said,'• D —ir our eyes, you
rascal," and struck iiiin three or four times upon the breech
with his sleeve.boarif : he them threw down the sleeve-board,
and spree?, through the window, and swore he had not given
hint half a threshing. Dealey returned to the deceased's room.
Seeing Greece, a lusty man, witness asked him to au into the
• room : Graves went to, and witness saw no more of it. Wit-
ness believes Dealy was sober at the time would have en-
tered the room, but drought i; Jaeger ous JO to do. Witness
saw blood iiipon the bead of the deceased before Dealy
turned him eta his belly.
William Graves. a prisoner in the Fleet, saw Dealy stand-
ing outside time wiudow, near the 111001 of time deceased, and
heard hen say he had struck the deeased dace times on
the breech, and swearing, said lie would not forget it in a
Imlay ; had he not been an old man he world have beat hint
worse, but being an old MD he did not like to stn ike him.
Witness heard Dealy city, that deceased had behaved
eel V ill, by not giving a letter he had fooial, to him, instead
of givirre it to Lewis, whit, keeps the charidlers shop. After
this, Dealy, in a passion, jumped into the loom of the de"
ceaseit, and abused him respecting the letter. Deceased Was
4 then standing against the fire-place. Willies, said, " For
God's sake Ilona hit its Wye any row der clone.' Dealy did
rot strike II IN at that finis. Witte,, went into the room to
prevent any misehief. Dealy had (-nailed deceased with
having given taut letters to Lea is, but winless knew to the
vomitory, as it regarded one. Deceased denied having found
any letter belonging to Deady, nor had he given any to
Lets us. As witness was leaving the room, Deatv said, "he
had not done with him yet." Then si antes and Dealy left
the room together.
Several other witnesses were examined, whose evidence
em /obviated the above teatin 1111 l y.
Some gentlemen, who examined the body of the
deceased, coagulated blood betwee a the pia mater and
dare touter, and also Wood in the ventricles of the brain. This,
which appeared to he the effect of external injury, they
considered to be the cause of his death. After a few minutes
consultation, the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder
against John Dealy. The Coloner made oat the warrant of
commitment ; it is, however, Nod rrblooti, that Deal), will
remain it, the atrial t own in the Fleet until the evilleteliee.
melt of the 01J Morley Session; he will then be removed
by Habeas Corpus to N wgate, to take iris truth.

GLUGOW Matthew Clydesdale, a collier, was
tried at the Court of Justiciary. at Glasgow, for the murder
of Andrew Love, in the parish of New Monklaa.l, in the
comity of Lanark. From the evidence adduced in support
of the charge, it appeared that the pri,oner had for some time
borne malice of the strongest nature against the deceased,
who was eighty years of age, and a Milli of the most peaceful
and industrious habits. (hie Sunday morning they chanced
to meet near a coal-pit in the Heiglibmirhood, when the 'pri-
soner attacked the deceased with a pick-axe, such as are used
in collieries, and gave him some dreadful wounds on different
parts of the head and holy, under which lie languished till the
Thursday following, and then died. The son of the deceased
was the principal witness ; but the whole of the evidence
was so conclusive, th it the Airy, without a moment's hesita-
tion found him guilty.

ATT estPTED Min sea.—Mr. Barnes, -Alia ;;ept a respecta-
ble Academy in Hoxtuu squat e, had riouJvc•si from his lion,•
to another in the neighbourhood ; his -cr vant4naid, who hud
lived in the family many years, was sent on Monday night to
secure the shutters of the uninhabited house; saw us the
entered two men, who concealed themselves iu the premises,
and who seized her, and after using her extremely ill, forme'
her up to the garret door and tied a cord round her neck,
which they fastened to the door, and then went down stairs,
leaving her in that situation. A baker living next deer, hear.
ing a great noise, Fn.pirrted that there were thieves in the
house, and he and Mr. Barnes went in, s‘ith a view to catrls
the robbers ; they proceeded up stairs and found tl.e maid
hanging in the manner above described. They eat her down
in a very exhansted state. A medical gentlernanswas sent fro,
who succeeded in restoring her, when she gave the above
account of the horrid transaction. Immediate search WAS
made after the ruffians, but without effect.

Mr. Heft, has made some observations on the rot in sheep,
which are applicable to all sheep farmers on wet and unman tid
lands. He gives the very jndleious and solid advice to the
proprietors of sheep, not to delude thetuselves and add to
their leases by a recourse to gnackcry, and attempts to render
that sound which is already rotten (a positive and obvious
absurdity), but rat'aer to insure soundness by pr..i.tisir rotten-
ness.—This wholesome and only remedy, pr.•o. shot, has indeed
been long and often recommended, and had it been as panclo-
ally observed, the rot in the sheep would be a t are occurrence.
He conesele rather to kill the affected slicels, anti instead of
laying out money in whimsical and useless nostrums, to expend
it in the purchase of fresh and sound stock. His übjeetiou
to all medicine in the case, is a tition btedly valid, as 'far as it
goer. ; namely, that the medicine received into the stomach
limit take the course of food, and go through the medium of
the circolatiou, before it can reach the liver ; and granting
n medieitir were administered, sufficiently powet lid to de •
stroy the flukes in the liver, its actiun would be powerful
enough to destroy the sheep also. A farmer represented to
hint that he had laid out 201. in a pretended remedy, from
which his sheep received tint the slightest benefit ; stud in scone
very extensive hocks, the writer of this has heard of an expens
diture of several score pounds in the same ritliculens way.
Mr. H. reminds the farmer of the necessity of draining his
land, as the first step of prevention of the rot, another ancient
and wise ...linnet. As to the genealegy of Hoke* ill the liver,
and their external descent from this or that Lind of fly, en r.
rect or otherwise, it is a trifling crewcut ; or whether dukes
are the cause or effect of the rot ; or whether sheep eat this
or that kind of grass; since cat. whatever grass tiny may,
when exposed to a eolith) al 1 • lity of the atinespheie,
upon nnsontid land, they will susely become rotten.

LONDON :

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1818.

THE fact of the signing of the Treaty of Evacuation
is now confirmed beyond all doubt. Tuesday night Mr.
Kaye, the Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office
from Aix-la-Chapelle. with the important intelligence,
that the Treaty for the Evacuation of France by the
Allied Troops was signed on Friday the 9th instant, at
Aix la-Chapelle. Mr. Kaye was the bearer of the
Treaty which was tobe ratified by the Prince Regent, and
a Cabinet Council was assembled for that purpose. It
was to be ratified immediately by the Sovereigns in
Congress. The ratification of the Regent will be dis-
patched forthwith, and the evacuation is to be effected
by the last day of November, The intelligence was
notified by the Bankers at Aix-la-Chapelle to their
different correspondents in London, Paris, Frankfort,
and Amsterdam. The Monileur of Monday announces
officially the arrival of a courier at Paris on Sunday
last from Aix-la-Chapelle, who was the bearer of the
news to the King, that on the 9th of this month, the
Duke of Richelieu, Plenipotentiary of his Majesty,
signed, with the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, England,
Prussia, and Russia, a Convention, by which the Army
of Occupation will have quitted the French territory
by the 30th of November. The stun which remains to
be paid by France, confitrmably to the 4th Article of
the Treaty of the 20th November, 1815, is definitively
fixed at 263 millions, of which sum 100 millions will
be acquitted in Inscriptions on de Renle (5 per Cent.
Stock) at the price of the sth inst.
Accounts from the French frontiers speak with ex-
ultation of the evacuation of France, and represent the
departments to be proceeding with rapidity in the new
organization of the army. It appears t hat the differences
between the Prince of Tour and Taxis anti the present
King of Wirtembur,, have induced the former prince to
memorialize the Diet for the restoration of his ac-
•3:nowlcdged ri,'.tt•t Lione-Seltatimhonrg, and Lippe.
Detmold have referr d their quarrel to the decision of
the same tribunal. These houses have been at variance
for a considerable time.
