A most important Parliamentary document has just
been published, through the motion of Mr. Baines—an account
of the nett value of all Benefices above 200/. per annum, &c.
It appears to be compiled from very voluminous returns pre-
viously made to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. It will be
the means of discovering much clerical rapacity, which has
been practised by Incumbents requiring half as much more for
compositions in lieu of Tithes, than has been returned as the
amount of their income. The price at the Parliamentary
printers is only one shilling, and there ought to be several in
every parish in the kingdom.
The anniversary of the birth -day of the young Duke
of Roxburgh, who attained his majority on the 12th instant,
was celebrated by great -festivities at Fleurs Castle, Kelso,
Pegtford, and other districts in Roxburglishire. The union
(lag was displayed from the abbey, a band of music played
through the town early in the morning and the tenants and
labourers at Flours were plentifully regaled in the course of
the day. His grace and his youthful duchess are still travel
ling on the continent.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LINCOLN, JULY 17.
The Commission for the County and City of Lincoln
were opened on Saturday afternoon, and the business of the
Assizes commenced in both Courts this morning (Monday).
The calendar contains the names of eighteen prisoners,
about an average number, but the cause paper is extremely
light, there being but nine cases for trial, all of which were
disposed of in the course of the day, except the case of the
Queen v. Richardson and others, a special jury cause, ap-
pointed to be taken the first thing to-morrow. It is a pro-
secution instituted by the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals against the defendants, who were con-
cerned in running a bull some time ago at Stamford. It is
a case which excites great interest in Stamford and the
neighbouring country.

MOODY V. ADAMS.
On the Jury being sworn in this case, Mr. Hill, in ad-
dressing them, observed that a very pleasing duty devolved
upon him. He had the honour of being Counsel for a
gentleman who was otie of the Aldermen of the borough of
Louth ; but though elevated into the office of Alderman,
he still was a very young man, just at the outset of life,
and having been called on in the way of his trade to supply
certain goods, to be paid for out of a fund subscribed by
by some charitable ladies of the town of Louth to relieve
their poorer brethren, it was alleged he had imposed on
those ladies goods of an inferior quality and description,
though charging the best price. Rumours like that were
circulated through Louth, and the defendant had published
the same in a newspaper of the town of Boston, in which he
purported to give an account of the transaction, but which
now turned out, after an inquiry made, not to have been
correct. The Learned Counsel further observed, that his
client was not actuated by any vindictive feeling in the
matter ; he had only come into Court in order to clear his
character from the imputation cast upon it ; that imputa-
tion being withdrawn, he would be satisfied by the Jury
giving a verdict for 40s.

- Averdict was then taken for the plaintiff, by consent—
Damages 40s.
CRIMINAL COURT.—George Whattanz, aged 19, was
found guilty of having stolen a lamb, the property of Jos.
Wattam. Sentence—Transportation for life.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—BRDFORD, JULY 17.
Saturday having been the day fixed for the opening of
the Commission for this county, the Learned Judges made
their public entry into this town late in the afternoon, and,
having attended divine service yesterday at St. Paul's
Church, proceeded to their respective Courts at eleven
o'clock to-day.

In the Nisi Prius Court there were only two causes en-
tered, of which one, a special jury, was referred to private
arbitration, while the other, though it lasted a considerable
portion of the day, did not possess the slightest feature of
public interest.

- In the Crown. Court the business was equally scant in
number, there being only four prisoners, all of whom were
disposed of at the rising of the Court.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Joseph West, aged 24, was capi-
tally indicted for a highway robbery, committed by him
in conjunction with another man named Lucas, who was
tried and transported for a similar offence at the last As-
sizes for this county, in which the present prisoner also
bore a part, -but was fortunate enough to escape, from
the inability of the then prosecutor to identify his person.
Mr. SMITH having addressed the Jury, and. his Lordship
having summed up, both prisoners were acquitted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

Catherine Barrett, a decent-looking woman, was yesterday
charged with the following case of shop-lifting.
Martin Felmington stated that he conducted business
for Mr. Groves, a respectable woollen-draper of King-street,
Covent-garden. On Saturday evening, while the shop
was full of people, the prisoner came in, and asked to look
at a shawl. After looking over several she fixed on one,
and left a shilling as a deposit, saying she wished it to be
put aside for. her. As she was leaving the shop he observed
the corner of a shawl hanging from under her dress, and
suspecting she must have stolen it he ran out of the shop
and laid hold of her. After bringing her back the shawl
produced dropped from her. He then directed a female to
take the prisoner into a private room, and search her,
when there were found concealed unger her dress the three
pieces of cotton print produced, and which he valued at
twenty shillings.
Mary Rycroft, the housekeeper of the prosecutor, and
the policeman who apprehended the prisoner, corroborated
the testimony of the last witness.
The prisoner said she had been out all day, and, having
drunk more than she cold bear, she could not account for
what she did.

Mr. TWYFORD observed that such a defence would
prove very feeble before a Jury to a charge of such a se-
rious nature, and ordered the prisoner to be fully committed
for trial.
