At the Suffolk ANsizt., which cousnmeed at Bury on thnrs-
day last, ;tithing the civil action tried was that of Lees v.
*iciest.. It was an action before a Special Jury, brow.ht.by the
Plaintiff, a linker, at Clire, against the Defendant, an A dju-
.tant in.the Suffolk Local Militia, to recover a cotnpen=ation in
damages for criminal conversation with the pl4intiff's wife; but
it being clearly proved to the satisfit;tion of the Court nod
. Jury, that the plaintiff connived at and encouraged the faini-
liarities with his wife, he was nonsuited. Actions of this kind,
to the honour of the married females in the county of Suffolk,
being very rare, it excited considerable interest.
A eingular.occurrence took place at the Carrickferguc assiZeF.
Alexander M'Coy, who was char“l with a rape on CathPtine

the gaoler, and abide his trial at the present assizes. A ccord-

be given in charge to the Jury, the Counsel for the Crown men-
tioned to the Court, that he understood. Aleiander M'Cov was
not in custody,, but that his brother Daniel had personated him.
This appearing to be the fact, Wale! was ordered to remain in
custody, and to be prosecuted for the intended imposition.

front rashness and want of skill, drove his cart on the causeway
and pinned the boy against the corner ; the horses rushing for-
ward, the wheel took ''his hand completely. off above the wrist,
and it dropped to tpe ground. The boy being an orphan, an
