the Emperor's guard, at Vienna, is-peculiarly-grand, from the
powerful effect of the horns and trumpets. The tones produced
by the combination of flutes, oboes, and pipes, bear some re-
semblance to those of the organ. The pieces are not rapidly
performed, but the effect is grand and striking. We understand
that this machine having been submitted to a minute inspection
of the Connoisseurs at Leipzig, the inventor received unbounded
approbation from those critics—esteemed the first In Europe,
with regard to musical science apd mechanism. The execu-
tion of the trumpet notes bad been pronounced impossible
de-
till
the completion of this extraordinary machine, which
its ex.
will
servedly become an object of universal curiosity, during
hibition in this country. It is•indeed an astonishing effort of
human ingenuity and perseverance. Mr. Gurk is a performer
on every instrumeat, comprehended in this elaborate piece of
mechanism..

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

WEDNESDAY, NOY. 13.

THE KING V. JOHN lIOSEASON, ESQ.
The Attorney-General moved for a rule to skew cause why
criminal information should not be filed against T. Hosea'son,
Esq. a Magistrate of the county of Norfolk, for a flagrant abuse
of his authority. It appeared by affidavits, that the efendant
employed one John Monteath as his bailiff ; and this man had
hired one Battersfidd to perform harvest work for the De-
fendant ; that Batterfield having refused to return to work, upon
the plea that he had not had an hour to his dinner, the bailiff
collared and kickenhim, and brought him before the Defend-
ant, who likewise struck him, and sent him to the House of
C Ireetion for one month, where he was severely whipped.—
The enormity of this proceeding
.was noticed in the neighbour-
hood, and the defendant was advised to release the lad ; but he
replied, that he bad acted as: he had done upon the- information
of his bailiff: aril the warrant pretended to give a colour to the
transaction, by stating that Batterslie!d was in the service of
• Monteath, which he really was not, being in the defendant's ser-
, rice, and he thus being a party to his own cause.—Rule to shevr
cause granted.
