gate-keepers wbo had been lately had up to Bow-
street ? Was •itto be believed then, from, what -
the public knew in 'general .of the civility of gate-•
keepers, that the words which could provoke his.
client to the certainly' blameable use of ni3.whip,,
were, " Sir, 1 am much obliged to you for the ho-
nour you have done me in Mentioning Bow-street,"
or, Demme, you scoundrel, what do you;rnean
by that ?" Every body who knew any thing of the_
world, must know, not only that the latter were the
more likely expressions for, a turnpikegate-keeper
to have used,. but that there nut have been some-
thing insolent said to provoke his io Violence.
Part Or these blows, too, were acknowledged to
have been received after the Plaintiff had a tteMpted
to catch hold' of the. Defendant's reins I& and every
body knew that in a one horse conveyanPe a hasly,
snatelt at the reins might prove' of very seriGus con-
sequences; his client was .therefore justified in his
attempts to guard against suet] a proCeeding-.--,
'],'he Plaintiff was a farmer, and not a mere.;
servant of the toil ;; and it was not only thOse -
nme who had the greatest interest in passing
bad money, but it was those men, who were likely
to be the most insolent, since they had contracted
for the toll for so. much money, and for so many
years; and there was no appeal for their displace.'
merit, as there right be in. cases where a man was,
put into the Gatehouse by Trustees olltoads. These-
were the men against whose'insolence there was no
redress ; and it the Jury Wanted to encourage their,
trand and impertinence, they would award the Plain -
titldamages ; if um, the smallest sum they could:
give wouldbe the proper diSposition of the cause.'
Lord Chief Justice MANSFIELD observed, that the
Plaintiff's Witnesses. had the most convenient metro-,
ries.; for they could hear what the Defendant said,;
buf not 'what. the 'Plaintiff. It was most probable
there was insolent language used to provoke the
present assault ; and the jury would. take that, and
the partial testimony of 'the Plaintiff's witnesses;
into their consideration. Verdja for the Pkaintiff-,

SHOCKING Mytt,pm.-6,Wednesday sennight, the
body ,of one Joseph Glendinning was found murder-
own field,*, near Workington. He was
seen tely near the place, in company with a man at
present unknown, between seven and eight o'clock
in the morning, and was' found dead between, two.
and three in the aftemoon, and from every cirtinin.=
stance it appears that the murder must have been
committed within a few minutes after he was seen
-with the said unknown person. A more cruel and,
barbarous murder has 'tot been heard,of in 'any court,
try. The deceased' had five - wounds in the 'breast
and ribs, eleven in the belly, twelve in the neck,
and one in the right leg. :Several bruises upon
the head and face, and two ribs (one on each side)
1-token. Upon opening the body, one wound ivai,
found to haae penetrated the left lobe of the fungSil
one inch deep.; one wound through .the right lobe of'
the lungs ; one large wound in the heart, Which had
penetrated the- left. ventricle. They appeared •to
have beep done with some sharp pointed instrument.
Therewas a great quantity of a coagulated blood in
the b.reast anti belly, and -upon opening the heid, a
'great quantity of exira%jasated blood was found in
-the brain, which had proceteded from a violent stroke
'on the head. Though this. murder wits committed
near to several houses, and oft Work ington.market-
day, when people were going to market in all direc-
tions, there scarcely rippears a possibility of the mur-
derer being detected.- The Corone:'s Jury 'after
swing two days, returned their inquest Wilful Mtn.,
der against a person or persons unknown. .
About ten o'clock yesterday morning Mr-
one of the clerks in the Office of the Receiver-
General of the Custom-beu§e& put a period to
his existence in the water-closet" adjoining his
• office: • He had come to, town in the niOrning, and
breakfasted at the Hainburgh Corfee-hotise, Water-
lane. After breakfast he drank.a gkHs, of brandy,
• and went.to his bffice, where he. prepared his books,
and, shortly after, retired and shot himself 'with a
pistol l---The-contents took away nearly one side of
- his head, and, it is reinarkable,• that he had so fully
charged it, that it burst with the explosion. There
has nothing as yet transpired which could lead to a
conjecture as to the, probable cause for his commit-
ting so rash an act: He was very much respected
and never discovered any symptoms of derangement
in his intellects. He was nearly 6o Yearsold mar-
ried, but 'had no family.
On Tuesday night the PariSh Church of Ss. Ma-
ry's,•Newingtoo, was broken open by the assistance-,

BAtlf; JULY 20 —The swill, on Ffitity
exceeded, in awful plicenomeni, any one retnem-

rapid and uninterrupted succession. But the most
