PERJURY.

Ann Windus, a servant girl, convielcd of wilful.
and corrupt perjury, assigned out of her testimony
given in a cause entitled Winter v. Finch, was th►s
day brought up for judgrhent, and in consequence of
the very excellent character given her by Mr. Wad-
dington, the merchant, and others, she was sentenced
only to three months imprisonment in the King's
Bench.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS,.I\Iov. 23.

A Rule had been moved for to put off the trial of
an aetlon on the ground that a material witness
could not attend for the Defendant fbr six weeks.
The affidavit upon which this Role was prayed tor,
stated (and it was the affida'vit of a mewcal man),
that the wilness, who was the acceptor of tlik till
upon which the a&ion was brought, had been af-
tided for six months past with a bilious disorder,
and that he was so debilitated in consequence, that
he could 'not promise a cure within , six weeks.
There was no place of residence stated, he being
generally described as living en the parish ofl'ancras,
a pretty extensive one, and the Court upon this,
conceiving the Defendant ;only moved for delay,
direaed the Rule to be discharged, as the Defendant
could not undertake to bring the money into Court,
to abide the event.

Mr. Justice LAWRENCE afterwards sat at Nisi
Prius, and tried severi:l causes mostly undeferldvd.

Bovv7sTnßET.77-A-isterday John Fenton, a young
man of a respectable appearance; was brought, by,
Adkins, before Mr. GRA Li Am, on a charge of bigamy;
the charge was pretty well substantiated. A young
woman atten&d; and proved 'that the Prisoner mar-
ried her as a bachelor, between foorand five years•
since, at the parish church of Gerken Well: Another
young woman proved he married.her last-May, as a
bachelor, in the parish church of Chiswick. Both
these cases were confirmed_by witnesses who were
present when the ceremonies were performed.;--
The Prisoner kept his hat to his face to hide it dur-
ing The; Whole of the examination.—Fle was .corn-
mitted for trial.

VIOLENT ASSAULT 'AND- OUTRAGE.—A young
woman of the name of- Mary SCr'oote; alias Bandy
Charlotte, well known for being a terror to the iii
habitants of the Piazza, in. Covent-garden, and
th-oSe who frequent that part, was bought from
Covent...garden .Watdr-house,; charged With a most
daring and violent assault upon Captain Thornton:
It appeared from his statement, that he was passing
the piattza,,•on Tuesday night, whets the,priSOliier_
laid hold of hire,. and requested him to-go 'along:
with her ; r3lieJef u sed; and desired her'to keep oil;
but she persisted in, continuing,;to walk With hitn,.
and laid hold. of in• the niost 'outrageous ancr
violent manner. Captain Thbruton, finding all eX
ertions fruitless to get clear-of her in the Piazza,
had recourse to going' into the Bedford Co&e-houSe,
where she followed hitn; when he, in a deter-
mined and resolute manner, refusing to go with
her, she' struck him a most violent blow on. his
right eye, which cut it open, and caused a great
etfusion.of Wood, and which continued to flow yes.
terday; the swelling is so great in consequence, that
he is deprived of . his'sight, and it is doubted whe-
ther-or not it will be recovered.

Mr. Joy, of the 3edford Coffee-house, 'attend-

'OURT OF CiikNCERY, Nov. go.

STIRLING V. IMILLBAN4, ZAAT.

The Plaintiff, in this case, bad sold to tfie
fendant, Sir Po;phthank, certain collieries, of
which-the pelendant, was at the time lessee, at the
price of 44,0001. SoMe objection having been start-
'ed to the title, the case came into Court, and a r,f-
Ceiver Was appointed. 'A report was made by the
Master in the year 1803, 'and an agreement entered
into by the parties in 1804, by which the relative si-
tuations of the parties were settled, and it was agreed
that at the latter date the sum due, to the Plaintiff
Was 46,0001. and upwards. This debt was since
dischaigtd by Sir R. Milbank, who, anxious to get
!quit of the receiver, had paid up the whole debt,:
-principal, interest, and costs. The Master had
glace made a review of hiS former ItepOrt, and, by
:the-Report,' to. which exceptions were now taken,
the. Master had found that giving Sir R. Milibank.
credit for the Property Tax.on the amount of the,,
interest due by hint 'to the Plaintiff while the price
remained in his'hands, the Plaintiff had been over-•
paid upwards of MI.
Sir S. Roz 4 ILLY, in support of the exceptions, ar-
gued, that down to the deed in the year 1804, the
settlement between the parties was chnclusive, and
that the Master had no right to go back on his own
RE,port to corre&, 'without any' reference'to him to
that et red, any supposed error which he might pre.
viously have committed. Far less was he entitled to
do away even the solemn acts of parties, which, by
his present Report; he had done. Independently,
howeVer, of these considerations, there 'was not a
,single clause in the Property Tax A6t which entitled.
Sir IL ivliiibank to pay such Tax,_ and charge it
against Mr. RusSell. This latter arguthent he prov-
ed by acompartson of the different clauses in sche-
dtile A and D, will) the case in quesion.
Mr. RictiA.aps. and Mr. LEACH supported the
Master's Report;an ground's which they were; in a'
great measure, ultimately obliged to abandon, as not
:ianel lolled by any clauses in the -AA of Parliament...

The LORD CHANCELLOR was decidedly of opinion,
that the Master had. 110 right to go back to a -period
antecedent to the deed in 1804, to correa any. real
or supposed error which might then have. been corn-
: Mitted, without a reference to him froth the CoUrt
to do so.. If any such application should-be made,
the Court would judge Jauw• far it ought to, be grant
ed. The.only other point which remained, arnchnt-,
ed to a sUni "of about 2 1. Even as- to this, he Was'
not satisfied that.. the AEI was sufficiently
anti he should look into -the previous Income Tax
AcSts *before he determined the question ; being,
hoWeqr, at present Inclined to think, that if M 7.
Stirling had at any time been called on by the Corn-
. miisioners of the Property. Tax. to pay: the duty on.
the interest of the. debt in question due to him by
Sir H. Millbank, lie could ptit, on any i)rinciple of
equity or morality, have evaded the.payment of it.

COURT OF INQUIRY.

• [As the following w s only in a part of our impression on
Saturday, we this day repeat it. •
Captain' PRivAL,-of thaEngineers, was examined,
with re,peat to the defence of Lisbon; He stated,
:that, Lisbon Was better defended by its positions
round the, city, than by its works ; that ,Fort St.
Julien Cool l not hold out a week against a storm ;
that the batteries of .PiliCeliS were very strong; and,
that .Peniche:vvas' strongly fortified.
Sir A. WELLESLtY here proposed to put some
• questions to Cainain PRIVAL, as to the conversation
;which he had with certain French- Officers; but as
!that conversation, as ,t.iiiderstoOd, would after.:
:Sir FL
,B,uliatob, they were for the present waved.,
.Some questions were then- put by the Court 'to Sit'
DALRYMPLZ, rneauswers to Which shewed that
difficult ies landing the artillery—that it was
impossible to land it at Masceira, and. that. there
:was no means of moiling it TrOin thence.
Sim. WE..LLESLSY was then asked tome ques-
tionS; to which he replied—that, the heavy artillery
could not baire beets brOiight fnrward if landed at
..albtidegO Bay; the roads.. through , Portugal being
very bad, and very narrow; that even it a large
-number of horses were ethployed to draw heavy
;number of
:artillery on travelling carriages, it could not be effetl-
ed ; hut it was evident from his narrative 'and the
.questions put to him before, that the horses with the
army were-only in sufficient numbers to draw the
field Hain.

COL TOIOENS was again called in, and asked by
Sir A: WELLESLEY as to his \ having delivered in a
Paper to. Sir - Flew-DALRYMPLE on the day the
army tparched from•Viincira, respe6ting the Russian
'Fleet; which he recommended should not be mo-
lested, bat allo‘yed to evacuate in four days, and to
effilmrk within leven days.
Colonel TORRENS replied in the affirmative.
In answer to a question from Sir H; DALRYMPLE,
he replied that be believed General STEWART joined
the atwy on the evening of the 23d Of 24th of Au-
gust.

The President said that there' would* not be any
proceedings farther until the arrival of Sir HARRY
.13olt#ARD, who was hourly expeeted.—Adjourned
Sine die.

The following singUlar occurrence took. place, it
is -said, on Friday night, on board 'a coasting 'vessel
in Barking Creek:—the Master was asleep with his
wife, 'in his cabin, when he dreamt that his wite had
fallen overboard, and was on the point of droWning
he hurried on deck, and -plunged into the river, as
he fincied, to rescue her. Tht, shock of the cold
_water awoke him, and-heit4sa.good•switnnTer; lie

I.‘ As long as I goVern well, use it in my support ;
it I govern ill, use it against me." So it was with
,the people of India; if we governed them with
justice and moderation, we may .expect their sup--
port--7but if we oppress and tyrannize over then*.
we must expeet revolt and resistance. Mr. Thorn-
ton,denied that the Treaty had ever.been approved
of by the Court of Dire&ors, for_it was one of their
grounds of complaint that the Treaty had never been,
submitted to the Count All that lie individually-,
ever did was to put his name to a letter, in which
pleasure was expressed that the Treaty had given
satisfaaiOn ; but at that time he was quite igno-
rant of the circumstances under which it was con,
eluded. •

Mr. Howarrn was not surprised at the reluEtance
of the friends'of the. Noble Lord to enter fairly into
a discussion of the question; and it would be happy
for them and the Country if it could be for ever.bu-
tied in oblivion. The true grounds of the Treaty he
asserted, to be the exhausted state of the rlA•easury at
Calcutta, and the necessity of quartering a part of
the Bengal army on the Nabob of Oude. He con-
demned the general system of policyiaded upon by
Lord' Wellesley. Under its influence our establish
m,ent in India had grown faster than Our cbaraeter ;
our frontiers were extended beyond . our means of
defending them ; we had 'laid ourselves open to at-
tack.by alienating from us the affeElion of the Na-
tive Powers ' • and we had accumulated a mass of
debt, both abroad and at home, which there was
little hope of ever being paid off.

MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

The easterly cold dry Winds, which bare prevailed
almost during the whole of the month; have con-
tinued to operate
,letnAlcially upon. all the more .
early and more luxuriant. young - Wheat crops, ;iv •
alibrding a seasonable check to thcir.too forward
and rapid growth while, on the, contrary, the
sharp keen dry trots have had unfavourable effect
on most of the late thin crops of this valuable grain
in many disttias.
The same causes have likewise been prejudicial to
those Bean crops which had been got in at an early.
period, in the preceding months, and were now jus
beginning to appear :tboy the ground, by giving a
sudden check to their ytquig growth, and in some
more exposed si:ua.i ,by almost destroying 'the
young tender dm, ta. •
By the same me.,ni also the I..ortions of Turnip
crops, which ha l remained front the Consumption
of the preceding peliod,.,have been much destroyed.;
so that a muca smaller qu totity of tlik sort of cattle
food had been left for use than is usually the case.
• The .Cabbage Cole, and other similar green cattle;
crops, have, however, as usual, stood the severity .of
the season well, and must noVir be of vast service to
'the farmer.

The latter sown tares, and other artificial gra,se,
have, on most of the. better descriptions of hind, coni.
tinned. to have a prormiing appearance, hnd will
probably afford a very desirable supply of tvod tot
stock.

The dryness of the whole month has beel Par-
ticularly tiVoerable for all the d+rent operas ,r.ns of
the.field, which, from the state of the weather in
the two preceding mouths, had been unusu-iiiy re-
tarded. The ,business of ploughing and sowieg has
been performed over a very, gr6t, extent of land.
From the very extravagant price of Pease, a much
more extensive space of laud than usual. WHY' ba
sown this year with • Barley and' Spring Wheat, in,
situations where this last sort of crop is grown. 'A
large portion of the latter his been already • put into
the, ground. , , . •
There.has been but a very poor supply of feed for
the store stock .which has been withered in t he.pas-
tures, of course they hav,e not gone on to the usint
proof in many places ir nor has the home seeding
been performed:without extraordinary eXpeuce,2exi,
cept in cases where greavattentlon.had been paid. to
the rising of beneticlal articlea of
,cattle, food ter
winter use..---The deafness of Hay, • Straw, ,Cake,
Potatoes, and other sorts of 'dry food, have contri-
buted greatly to this circumstance. ,
The dryness of the weather during -the whole tlf
the month has been favourable to the lambing ewes,
as. well as the couples with young lambs. In many
sitnatious, sheltered by t lte",hilis and, elevleted grptm&,
the ewes, .especially those or the South Down kulu,
have lambed down with Much suecesi, prtklovitii

A new burlesque Aftereiece was-represented•last
night at this Theatre, entitled, Bontifacio, and Bridge-
tina. .
The main design of this Piece is to ridicule the
prevailing taste for the new species of represents,
tian, entitled the. Milo-Drume, in the.same manner
as The Rehearsal and The Critic were intended
to brit the extravagance of Tragedy into con-
tempt. This , design ought to be encouraged,
as the Mela=Drame is one of the most ridicu.
lous kinds of composition that was ever Alb-
mined to the., public.. It is, however, .some-
what strange that the attempt to ridicule this kind
of composition shoeld be brought forward upon
the stage which firstinst,roduced it, viz. The Tale I.f.
Mystery. Nothing, stfrOy, can be more absurd-
than to fill up• the intewals of discourie between
serious :.charatiers, or -during the dumb•thea,
,of
soliloquy, with music,,asis the practice with the ntela
drain?. But though the design of the new Piece Of
last night is commendable, we cannot say that tho
execution was equally entitled to approbation.
truth, is, that it " out -lierod's Herod." However;
-as the scenery is excellent, as there is a perpetual
bustle in. the,Piece, and as the music, though riot new:,
consists of popular airs and chorusses, as- the purr
port is -laudable, when ihe dialogue ha 4 underguoe
some rftirenchtnent, have od 'doubt that it w Il
be repeated with success. The disapprobation that
attended it last night aruse,from a want ofa thoroNit
conception on the part of the audience as to v.*
real design of the Piece." The house was crowded.
