THE KING V. TRANT AND WARM

These defendants were this morning brought up in
the custody of the keeper of Newgate, for the purpose
of being bailed. Trout is a man of respectable appear-
ance, and the other defendant is his servant. It appeared
from the affidavits, that Mr. 'T rant, who rents the Regent's,
Hyde, and the Green Parks, (which he lets out to differ-
ent butchers to turn sheep into) was walking through the
last mentioned Park on the 9th of June, when he dis-
covered that there were eleven sheep and seven lambs
feeding there, of which he had no knowledge, and as he
was not allowed to have more than 850 there at one time,
he ordered his servant (Warm) to drive them to the Re-
gent's Park, and if enquiry should be made respecting
them, to inform any one who might make such enquiry,
where they were to be found. The sheep, it afterwards
turned out belonged to a gentleman named Hampson, who
ascertained where they had been taken to, and that it was
by order of the defendant Troia. He went to his (Trant's)
house, in Baker-court, Manchester-square, and on de-
manding his sheep he was told by Trent that they should
be delivered up to him. This however, from some cause
or another, did not satisfy Mr. Hampson, and he procured
an officer and gave the defendant into custody on a charge
of sheep -stealing. The charge was beard before the Ma-
gistrate, and both the defendants were committed to New-
gate for the alleged felony.
Mr. CARRINGTON on Wednesday last out dned a writ
of habeas c37-pus to bring them up to be bailed, and in
consequence of that writ they this morning appeared.
After reading a number of affidavits,
Lord TENTERDEN said, the Court proposed that the
defendant Trout should enter into his own recogni-
zance of 2001., and find four sorties of` 50/. earls; and
that Warre should enter into his own recognizance of
SOL, and find four sureties of 20/. each, to answer the
charge at the ensuing old B tiley Sessions.
Four persons immediately presented themselves as bail
for both the defendants. They were objected to by Mr.
Lee on behalf of the prosecutor, but the opposition was
ineffectual. They then entered into the necessary rect.sni-
zancei, and the defendants were discharged.
The CourT was afterwards occupied in hearing motions
for new trials of no public interest.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
BUSINESS 01, THE COURT.

The Loin entEr JUSTICE, on taking his seat this
morning, intimated to the bar that, in consequence of a
Privy Couneil having been appointed for to-morrow, it
was the intention of the Court to pro:eed, in the first in-
stance, with the two short detnurrers on the Cause Paper,
after which their Lordships would take those countr✓ new
trials in which none of the Judges of that Court had been
concerned.

The Court ailjourntql eleven o'clock —the Lord Chief
Jthtice proceeded to Guildhall to sit at Nisi Prins, and
the Puisne Judges joined the Barons of the Exchequer, in
the Exchequer Cloambr, to hear arguments in Writs of
Error, none of which possessed the slightest possilile in-
terest, relating simply to dry points of law.

The Lord Bishop of BATH and WELLS in-

time sent in and approve:l, are to attend the examination
at the Palace on the previous Friday morning.
PA UL CLIFFORD.--The design of this
new wo:k, by the celebrated author of Pelham, is not
we believe at present clearly understood. Allusion
has been made to certain characters en masque; but
the masquerade' part is only an accessory to the story,
not the ground work. It rarely occurs after the
'first volume and is to he found only in certain scenes
of life, which with -mt such disguise might, to some rea-
d( re, appear rather startling at first view. The persons
alluded to under the most extravagant disguises, but in the
spirit of the utmost good humour, are understood to be
the KING, Lord ELDON, SCATMETT, Sir FRANCIS Bun-
DIVTT, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Mr. HUSKISSON, and
Lord ELLENLOROUGII ; no women are mentioned perso-
nally but there is a general satire on exclusive society !
The story is reported to be more amusing and uniform titan
any of the author's other works and admits no digression
or grave reflection.
