BURY ASSIZES.

A C3USC of considerable consequence was'tried.
Mr. GRIGBY, a Gentleman in the. neighbourhood
of Bury, deteimining to . try the legality of -Bank'
Notes• its a Tender, went to the. Bank of Messrs.
oAtcr.s and Son in that Town, and demanded Cash
for sol. !worth of NoteS of their own, for which
he received part in Cash, according .to the accus-
tomed proportion, and the rest in Bank of England
Notes. IVlr..GtticuY. demurred, but took them.
After wai s lie _went with,!kis servant, who pro_
duced by, his order a Five Guinea Note of Messrs.
OAKES, for which cash was paid ; a second; cash
also ; then -a third,' for which a Bank Note vas
tendered : 'Mr: •GR I GBY refused it, and declared,
his only obje& was to bring an Aaion if the Paper
of the Bank of England Was offered him : it was
offered,- and refused, and the Action brought.
The Question for the decision wn-s LTivided ; the
orte tesucaing i i legality of the Tender, was re-
served for a case to be tried in the Courts at West-
minster. . The faa of Mr. • GRI Oat's. demanding
Cash, and bringing the Aaion because it was're-.
fused, was now to be decided.
Mr. Baron HOTHAM, in his charge.to the jury,,
direard them to find for .the Plaintiff; hut ob-
served,: Who this Mr. GR I CW( is, I knoW not ;.
I never saw him; he may be a Gentleman—l sup-
pose he, is :; bur had. I seen him previous to the.
.Trial, I should have recommended to him, urged
him, nay implored him,.-to withdraw the At-lion--
for I must say, -it is the most wanton, busy, offi-
cious, ill-judged, unprecedented, and extraordi-
nary attack I have known in a Court of Justice.—
What his motive is or can be, I have •no concep_
tion ; but theeffea, if persisted in and,followed'up,
can have.no other tendency than to throw the whole
Kingdom into confusion ; to over-turn ever;' branch
of circulation and industry, and be attenOed with
consequences, 'which, I hope, no man .would deli-.
berately lalo to,, It is a condua which .surpasses
coMprebewon. He. knew in his heart, that the
Bank Note „in. his hand, was good as Cash in any
Town in gnakuld."
;The Jury. brought a Verdh 'for the Defen-
dints, Messrs. OAKES. The Judge ordered them
t 6 re-consider the Verdid.
The jury returned the same Verdia. The Judge
complimented their motives, which were obvious ;
'jut recommended a further consideration, that their
'Verdia might go with*, the .Evidence, observing,
that the general Question moat be trid atWestmin-
ster Hall., The Jury then submitted, and lave
their Ver4id for the-Plaintiff,

SOUTII-WEST DISTRiCT.

E following General Order's were• on Thurso
day issued. by the Commander of the South-West
listrift

"Portsmouth, July 23, IBox.—Parole, Sunderland.

G. Field Qflicer--for the Day, to-morrow,
Lieutenant-Colonel. Sim st Somerset.—The
13-17. ii and Piquet will be furni3hed fo-morrow by

"Ilzinchesar,ly 22, IRar

G. o.—" The Troops in the South-West Dis_
triec are again called upon, in the most pointed man-
ner possible, to be in constant readiness to move on
the shortest notice, according to the orders and re-
gulations already delivered to the several Battalions,

" The Commanding Officers of Co, ps are especially
required to pay, constant attentiOn to the state of
the_Regiments, as if regards the. readiness on the
instant to move to any part in
.the District which
may be threatened by, the Enemy, and'they will be
held reSponsible for that particular circumstance of
duty,

" The Commanding Officers of Regiments will fre-
quently turn them out, and parade them according
to the order for the light equipment, and see thht
the Officers, as well as men, are properly appointed
in every.respea, in conformity to flit Royal High-
ness the Commander in Chief's orders.

s
" The General concludes, it is on tW.s occasion un-
necessary to repeat what he expects from the zeal,
ardotir, bravery; and, above all, discipline of the.
Troops he has the honour and satisfaction to com-
mand ; but he relies on-the unremitreel exertions at
Commanding Officers, on whom_ he again calls to
make known to the Troops the nature.of the ser-
vice they may expect in case of invasion from the
Enemy ; to point out distindly to them how much,
at this crisis, the country depends upon them for its
preservation -and defence - agains-t a barbarous,' im.
placable, and a desperate enemy. .
" Every thing will of course be expeded from the
high state of discipline in• which the Troops .in this
distrid are; and should the occasion offer, there is
no doubt, it is to be hoped, that every advantage
will be reaped from it. s
" The portion of the Companies already ordered,
must continue to. be pradised constantly in the ni'ocie
of service adopted- by light Troops, as these will be
found essentially useful. •
" Commanding Offiiers take care that their
battalion guns, with every thing belonging, to -
thein, .horses, harness, drivers, and the men .ap-
propriated for them, are expert in theirs exercises.
Ammunition for- their guns,must be filled without
delay, .and bOl-cartridges. ready to be instantly.de-
livered out to- the men when ordered.
", The women, sick; and heavy baggage.will be
disposed of according to the- orders already given,.
and-be sent to Amesbury ;if the Army moves for-
ward to the Coast, any superfluous baggage found
on the march will be immediately burned, .an4l -as
the General is resolved on this point, Officers are
again cautioned accordingly.
" A most rigid observance of His Royal Highness
the Commander in Chief's orders will be expeded,
and the Commanding Officers of Corps will, upon
all, occasions, be- looked On -as responsible for a
strict obedience to them, in every resped whatever.
" If any Officers are absent on any other leave,
except His Royal Highness the Commander in
Chief's, they are to be recalled without- delay:;. and
on no account is any Officer to be absent from • his

Regiment.
The Officers of the Royal Navy, who com-
mand the Fencibles• along the Coast of .the
South:West Distria, will immediately distrilmit.e
the men, and report accordingly to the Admiralty
and the General ; they will see the Batteries,put in
the best Order they can without delay, and point mit
separately and distinaly. what, they require for the
defence and%service of them.
