of the service of forty Fishermen, Dutch PriSoners,
wta:are to' ome down to Scotland, to instru& our
Fish-curers in' taking, 'curing, Arid packing Her-
rings. Twenty aie to go to the West, and twenty
o the East Coast. Leith, Dunbar, and Burntisiand,
viii be their rendezvous.

At Kylesckow, about ten days ago, the take
of Herrings was o great, that the Fishermen were
obliged to cut their Nets, in order to discharge the
Herrings.

In Caithness, the take has been very -considera.
ble, so that in the- course of next week, their new
Salted Herrings may be expeCted to meet our Pnta_
''toes at Market, which are daily falling in price,
owing to the appearance of an abundant crop over
all Scotland.

The take of Herrings in the Isle of Mann last
week, exceeded any thing ever heard of. Wednes-
day morning at Peeltown, 7300 Guineas were-paid
for Herrings caught the preceding night ! There
were several Boats that received 124.1. each, for
one night's fishing I though the price is only is'.
-per hundred.

In a cause, the Duke of BEDFORD cti. STONE,
at Bedford Assizes, the Court of the County Town
of Bedford was uncommonly crowded, to hear the.
Special Jury trial which was expeded to come on.
it was an adion brought by His Grace the Duke of
BEDFORD; to recover five penalties ofzol, each, with.
treble costs, frotn the Defendant, on the ground that
lie h2d'shot, the last season,. without a Certificate
.sgoestby a Clerk of the Peace) according to the form
of the Statute. The question to be decided, was
that of residence. Mr. STONE, who has a house at
Artipthill, Beds, and a set of chambers in Gray's Inn,
took out his Certificate in Middlesex, which was
alledged not to have been the proper place. How-
ever, just as the.eause.•was about to be called on,
the Agents..of the Noble Duke withdrew the Re-
cord, and the Duke was nonsuired:
At Oxford ASsiies, a Cause came on between the
Rev. JonN ROB INsoN, Lord of the Manor of En.
sham,, Plaintiff, and THomAs WELLS, Huntsman of
the VVitriey Harriers, Defendant. The declaration
stated, that Defendant, en 24th February last, with
dog and. horses, trampled upon and spoiled the
grass, corn, and herbage, and damaged the soil of
the said close ; and without leave or license, heat
4frdihilniiii" for game, and broke down the hedges
ap ct, fen &sip

-.The Plaintiff proved, by his Game-keeper, that
D4end-Siii.had received two notices not to hunt on
Plaintiff's land ; and also proved the subsequent tres-
pass .on the z4th February. .

The Defendant proved, by the testimony of two
respeetable witnesses, that he was quietly returning
home from hunting, and riding along the public
road towards Witney, when .the hounds accidentally
broke:away into a coppice of Plaintiff on the road
side, and, after trying-to call them out a consider-
able time to no purpose, Defendant rode in at the
gate,. and, by the best means in his power, got them
away in a feW minutes.
Upon the evidence being closed, the Learned Judge
made some observations, and then left it with the
Jury to say, whether Defendant had been guilty of
a wilful trespass-or not. After a little consultation,
they returned a " Verdict for Defendant ;" but his
Lordship,told them, as Plaintiff had given Defendant
notice,he must have damages (which, if they thought
Defendant had not been guilty of a wilful trespass)
might be the smallest they could name; and, without
a moment's hesitation, they gave Plaintiff nominal
damages, and no costs.
On Saturday, at five o'clock in the afternoon, a
single highwayman, with a crape over his face,
dressed in. a'dark brown . coat, and mounted on a
black horse, the ofFleg behind white, robbed'a lady

lane, leading from Brixton-Causeway to Dulwich,

identify the robber.

Tuesday evening between eight and nine o'clock,
as a Gentleman was riding along Islington-road,
his horse made a sudden stop,' which giving fright
to a horse in a chaise-cart,- the latter turned suddenly
round, and ran furiously towards the St. John's_
street turnpike, when the gate being shut, he
deviated froth' the line of the road, and forced, his
head through the window of the turnpike.house :
this last Fircum'stance.,occasioned a' horse, mounted
by a lad of about is; to take fright; and throw his
rider, who wai taken up a miserable spe6tacle, his
jaw being broken by a kick from his hort'e, and
also his thigh, by its being run over by the chais6-
cart : he was.aLo otherwise shockingly hurt; and
was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's tiospitalt' with
