ESSEX.

CHELMSFORD, MARCM 11.—The assizes for ibis
county couHnenced here this day, before the I: en. Mr.
Baron Graham. On the crown side, the business is
likely to be heavy—already there arc 73 coo tttt itt
many of which are for capital offences. The entry of
civil causes is expected to be unusually short—there are
but venires brought down, and not more than half
the causes are expected to be entered for trial.
NIAKCH business on the civil side corn.
menced this morning before Mr. limns %'ood. Six
cases were disposed of to-day. The only case worthy of
notice was

WILLIS R. THE REV. SIR II B. DUDLEY, BART.
This was an action of special arum/psi', to recover the
value of certain tanning stock, agreed to he taken flout
tile plaintiff (at the valuation of two appraisers). as the
outgoing tenant of a farm called Mickley, tie.ir Bra(lwell,
valued at 981. lbs. The defendant had paid into court
the-suns of .571.105. lout. upon the general money counts.
\l r. Marryait and Mr. Chitty conducted the plaintiff's
casv, and Mr. G 7 and Mr. H. J. Stephen the defen-
dant's.

Tile whole case turned upon the construction of the
lease granted to the plaintiff* of the firm in question, by
which it appeared that he had covenanted to expend and
lay ow in the last year of his tenancy the straw, &c. pro-
duced front the crops in the last year. The subject of
the plaintiff's claim was the straw, &e. produced in that
year, which it was allt-,ed the defendant had agreed to
pay for when he quilted the farm, but
Mr. liaron Wood was of opinion, that the case for the
plaintiff was concluded, by the terms of the covenant,
and therefore directed a nonsuit.

CROWN 8101.
William Arthur Brett, a young man of respectable
appearance, much depressed by his awful situatitit, was
indicted for forging a cheque triton the banking-house of
Messrs. Sparrow and Co. of Chelmsford, purporting to
thawit by Mr. Thomas Andrews, in favour of Messrs.
Chapman, Stevens, and Wood, for the sum of 2101.,
(fated the Iotll October, 1821, with intent to defraud the
said Messrs. Sparrow sod Cu.
Mr. Andrews and Mr. Walcotd condttcttrl the prose-
cution, and Mr. l3rodrick and Mr. Law the defence.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoner had been
clerk to Air. Andrews, attorney, of Cogeeshall, who
transacted town business with Messrs. Chapman, Ste-
vens, Ind Wood, attorneys, in London. Mr. Andrews
banked with Messrs. Sparrow and Co. of Chelmsford.
On the Toth of October last the prisoner presented and
received the money for the cheque in question, no suspi•
mon being then entertained of its aeIIIIIIICIICO. lie had
artfully written a letter, in the names of the payees, to
the banking-house, acquainting them that a clerk of the
former would call for the money on a certain day. From
respectability of the prisoner's appearance, no suspi-
cion was entertained. Tile furery, however, was soon
