Guilty and the general issue.
From the evidence it appeared, that in the month of
July last the inhabitants of Newmarket anti the surround-
ing country resolved, as a mark of respect and gratitude,
to celebrate the coronation of his Majesty by a public
dinner at that village. Up to ten o'clock all was pertict
harmony, and it was hoped all would separate with the
same feeling. 'flits was interrupted, however, by Mr.
Allen and his pasty refusing, on account of some old
grudge, to pledge the health tut a Mr. Wool tit along with
the rest of the company. Subsequently, a Mr. W. Lowe,
also one of Mr. Allen's party, and his brother in law (who
IMa since lied the countly), observing a reverend gentle-
man somewhat overcome with the festivities of the even-
ing, introduced a tumbler of whiskey punch instead of a
wine glass on the table before him. This was resisted by
the silaisititl, and an aberration ensuing, 111 r. Lowe first
threw the punch in his twee, and afterwards the glass
itself. The oilier defendants were not idle, indicting
wounds on the plaint ill with jugs and uuldlestieks,ashich

W exeon Ds—About one o'clock on Friday morning, it
firo was discovered at the chundling Louse, in the rear of
the dwelling house, of Mr. Junes, in the Corn-market,
IVelford. A violent storm from the east, which continued
the whole of that night and the following 'lay, rendered
every effort tosser the back conceit's ineffectual. Some
thatched houses which woe in the neighbourhood were
saved Item destruction by the terrified imitates—men,
women, and children being mounted upon tile thatch,
almost in a state of nudity, throwing down the flakes of
tire as they tell, while others extinguished them below.—
A strong detachment of the kfith hastened to the spot, and
conducted themselves in a manner highly creditable In
the regiment, zealously rendering all the assistance
their power. The fire was ceased by some malicious
person or persons, as no business had been done in the
eliandling house for the preceding nine or ten days. A
reward has been offered for their appi ehension.
