PRESS V. BAKER.

The plaintiff was a most respectable alitornoy, and a Co-
, tuner for the county, residing at Hingilarn, and being in
want of a horse, applied to the defends vt, who is an inn-
keeper and occasionally horsedealer at lodng Stratton. The
result of that application was, that aft 4:r having seen the
horse in question once or twice the plaintiff purchased her
for 351. on the defendant giving a warra► ttry of " sound and
quiet to ride or drive." On being take n home, however,
as appeared from the testimony of a set v ant of the plaintiff
and an experienced farrier, both of a -hem bad in vain
essayed to ride the animal, she turned o.;ltt the most trou-
blesome and vicious creature. Her :favourite, pastime
seemed to consist of turning suddenly ro and on her hind
legs, and utterly refusing to pass gates, :milestones, horses,
and carriages of all descriptions, while she would diversify
her performances by rearing now and tlircn, and after that
finishing with a terrific plunge or two. 'These facts having
been proved, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, da-
mages 3.5/.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

Robert Johnson, the Scotch volunteer in -the Queen of
Spain's service, and several others of the Spanish Legion, came
to the Justice-room yesterday to learn whether the Spanish
Ambassador had communicated with his Lordship on the sub-
ject of their application to be sent to Glasgow. The Lord
Mayor had, however, left the Justice-room before the melt
made their appearance.
Mr. Hobler stated to them that the Lord Mayor had trans-
mitted a letter to his Excellency on the preceding day, as he
had promised, stating the facts (with which the public are ar-
quainted), and recommending that the applicants should be
sent home, and stating that their claims for pay and
gratuities might be left for future investigation ; that his
Lordship had waited at home until half-past three o'clock, ita
expectation of an answer, but had received no communication
of any kind from his Excellency; that his Lordship had also
sent to Colonel Wetherall, the Queen of Spain's agent in Lon-
don, to know whether that gentleman had received any in-
structions upon the subject from the Spanish Ambassador, the
answer to which was that no order had been issued.

Johnson—lt is exactly what we might expect, judging from
the scandalous treatment ►ve met with in Spain. The people
employed by the Spanish Government are all the same where-
ver we go—looking to their own profits, and not caring a
straw about those who join to do the work upon false repre-
sentations of what they are to meet with. What arc we to
do now? They landed us at Portsmouth, expecting that we
would beg our way home. We are almost all of us trades-
men, and never begged in our lives any one of us, and we
are not going to begin now, when we are entitled to large
sum of money, and after we have fought and suffered for it.
Most of us are naked.

Mr. Hobleribelieved, if the Lord Mayor were in the Jos-

tice-room, his Lordship would advise them, under all the cir-
cumstances, to send a deputation to the Spanish Ambassador,
respectfully to represent their condition, and beg that his Ex-
cellency would make arrangements to send them to the place
where they were enlisted.
Mr. Hobler then gave them 205., and they departed, ex-
ceedingly grateful, and giving assurances that their conduct
at the house of the Spanish Ambassador should be mist or-
derly and respectful.
