"THE GREAT UNP:III)" TYRANNY.

IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS —EXTRAORDINARY PRO-
CEEDING —51,11. Ca4h. rule Hail, innkeeper, of In-
goldsoy, was summoned before the Spittlegate (Grant-
ham) Bench of Magistrates on Friday last, on the
information of a servant of the Rev. Jas. Hildyard,
Rector of that parish, to answer a charge of allowing
disorderly conduct in her house at noon on the let inst.
The latter gentleman declined to sit on th., case, and
appeared as witness in support of the infotmati.;n. The
Rev. Gentleman stated that it had been usual on the
occasion of lagoldsby feast to keep the festival on the
Monday and Tuesday; that he had allowed all parties
to do so this year, but finding on riding through the
village on Wednesday morning that the dancing
booths and stalls were not removed, he ordered them
to pack up and quit the village forthwith. On proceed-
ing past defendant's house be heard singing, and noises
as of persons stamping with their feet and beating with
their hands on the table, &c. Entering the house he
found fifteen or sixteen persons, who appeared to be
drunk and very noisy and disorderly. It was then ten
minutes past twelve at noon, and he directed defendant
to clear her house, informing her that if she did so im-
mediately he would not issue a summons against her;
but as it was two hours before the house was cleared, he
caused a summons to be served upon her by William
Palmer, the constable. The latter stated that he
accompanied Mr. H. to the house ; that there
were one or two persons tipsy, and that there
were five or six persons —peroaps there might
be six or seven—present. Mrs. Hall said she
had been an innkeeper for more-than twenty years, anti
that was the first time an information had been laid
against her house; that the only person making a noise
or singing was a fiddler whom Mr. H. bad driven from
the dancing booth, and who had taken refuge there; that
she was not aware her licence required h r to close her
house in the middle of the day; that the reason she
bad not obeyed in clearing it was because her company
was respectable, no labouring men being among them
and also because Mr. Houghton, a most respectable
farmer, of lieisby, who seldom omitted calling on a
Wednesday morning to read Bell's Weekly Messenger,
had entered the house just previous to Mr. H.
calling, and said he had come to spend a quiet half
hour and would not be interrupted by Mr. Hild-
yard or any other person. Mrs. Hall added that
Mr. Houghton was present in court to answer
for himself, and also as to the character and respecta-
bility of hermit and her house. Their Worships said
they did not deem it necessary to call Mr. Houghton:
she had committed tan offence against the terms of her
licence, but they would not this time convict. Defen-
dant was therefore reprimanded, and ordered to pay
103. 61 costs !—[We have received three communica-
tions relative to this strange proceeding against a woman
who is said to bear a character of the highest respecta-
bility—one of them expressing a hope that the matter
will not be allowed to drop without further inquiry, and
another stating that the presiding magistrates (Messrs.
Otley, Turner, and Brown) considered the case so paltry
that they at once dismissed it; if the latter assertion
be correct, on what ground was Mrs. Hall called upon to
pay costs?] —Stamford Mercury,

inspection of the coast guard of this district took place,
at two P.M. The crews mustered at Seasalter, and went
through the musket exercise, firing blank cartridge,
forming into squares, marching, and countermarching;
they then commenced ball practice at a target, and on
enemy would have stood but a miserable chance with
them; so certain was their aim, that the target was al-
most instantly destroyed. Cutlass exercise followed,
and then the great gun practice, which competent per-
sons pronounced beautiful, the target being struck nearly
every fire. The men bore a very steady appearance on
the field, and well merited the praise bestowed on them
by the comptroller-general. The afternoon was de-
lightful, and a numerous and well-dressed company gave
the field a gay appearance. Fortunately the whole
passed off without say material accident.--Canterbury

the expectation of higher rates than those Toted,
the increased quantity of inland sorts, and the circuar
