in the (Hi dragoon ettartls, rented a 'noose in Jermen,
place, Brighton, in November last. On the night of the
tnitin of that month, after the family had retired to br:l,

CIVIL SIDE.
THE [IS• V PESKETT AND OTHERS.

This vv. s an indictment against the deteinlant and fire
oilier permils, for riotoits/y Imllinq clown a dam on the
liver Arun, and for as4auliing Tit..ilus Dyson, at Chi.
cliester, no the 30,11 of December List.

Tile defendants were inhabitants of the submits of the
city of Chichester. In 1817, an act of parliament had
tetssed for making a canal connecting the river Arum
Toe prosecutor, Mr. Dy.on, had been emplriyed •Is en-
gitwer to conduct the work. It became necessary, in
the close of 1821, to dam up a rivulet, which interfered
with the progress of the work, to order to prevent ton
peat all accession of stater. The country about Chi.
citester beu.goerflawed with water from the moisture
or the season, it seas alleged that the defendants ha I no-
liwfullv assembled to pull down the dam in question to
rairy off the excess of water, and nt consilitoare of their
unlawful purpose had threatened the prosecutor with
violence, but had not, itt fact, committed any personal
injury.
The Jury, after hearing the case on both sides, found
the defendants guilty of the assault only, and acquitted
them of the ritr.

ciously scow, lire to and Ile:orayitr2 a rick of wheat, on
the ;$7.11 of NO% catiber, at Rtylsam, the property of James
It:chard-ou.

It appeared in evidence that on the day mentioned in
e indictment the prosecutor had a rick of vetches and a
rick of wheat comp!eiely destroyed by fire. The pri-
soners were seen near the prosectitut's premises sholily
after the fire commenced, going away from the spot
parently its a great hurry. Tile fire hail commenced with
the rick of vetches, and afterwards communicated to the
corn rick. Suspicion bating I.alleti Oct the prisoners,
they here apprehended, and they made a vadttotary con-
fession of their having deliberately rote 0111 ill it day for
the express purpose of doing some mischief of the kind
iii taws:lion. "'hey had taken out with them some
tiudcu and matches, and haying struck a light on the
beck of their I:hives, lighted a piece of paper, and set fire
to lie poisecitior's vetch rick. They seemed to have no
determinate oltject at first, and one said to the other that
they must not Lto home until they set fire to something.
The prisoner Billbeck proposed to set file to Mr. Richard-
son's rick, because he was an ill-natured person. This
was resisted by the other prisoner, hut they both joined
afterwards in doing the mischief, which appeared railier
to he the result 111 Wall(01111eSS than any premeditated
51111 deliberate tote:Mon.
The Jury found both the prisoners ettiity—i)catli ,
Lot reconmactitled them to mercy ota account of their
owls.

had possessed large iron-works in the county, and that
the forge stood close to the cottage of the defendant. In
the year 1760, a person named Wink, who was foreman
of the foimilery, oc:mpied the cottage in question. That
for 14 years after the works hail ceawd, ite continued to
occupy the cottage, and never paid any rent, lim that he
contlimed to du services fur Mr. Harrison particularly
he attended to the locks, and opened them in time of
floods to let the miler ll!iperton married Ilinde's
maid, and when llinde died, Upperion continued in the
collage, and did occasional services in the same manner
as Houle had done; that :\ Ir. Harrison held nis audits to
a room in the corsage, and had a dintter for his tenams
there; that he also had a cellar in the entiage, where he
kept wine and beer, and at length, in 1808, lie sold the
whole estate to Air. Thwaites, and by toe description in
the deeds and the plan of the estate, the cottage in ques-
tion was included. It further appeared, that after Mr.
T. wok possession of the estate, he put his bailiff into a
part of the cottage, and afterwards took another room
when the bailiff married.
Several tkclarations of the defendant were also given
its evidence, 'that he paid no rent lor the cottage, lint that
he •:•ht t• ' vices he rendered in other ways were
more ; e rent of the cottage. At length
he set e cottage, chiming it as 1119 own,

was e waste of the manor, and that the plain•
tiff had Ic to it.

Mr. FoHager, the steward of Mr. Harrison, stated,
that he was the hers in who shelved Mr.Towastes every
parcel of the land that was to Lie sold; that he pointed
nut all the cott.ges, but did not point out Unperson's, as
he did nut consider it as beloinziug to Mr. Harrison.
That ivith.eespuet to the audits hying held there, he had
requested permission of Lippert( /f 1 to hold the audits
there ; that Uppenon and his %%tie assisted in reputing
the dinner, and that they haul the remains of the not
ioit :or their trouble; that he collected all the reins, hut
never required any rent of Upper ton, becattsr he tii.l not
consider it to belong to Mr. Harrison, and that he paid
Upperum as he would do any other man when he
worked for Mr. 11. without any set.oU for rent.
Lord Ahergavenny's steward also proved that, in 1811,
Mr. Thwanes cot diiwn some trees near the cotta se,
upon which Lord Alierg iventty made Mr. 'l% pay 5I f.
Is. GI. as the price of the trees, claiming them as
