WESTMINSTER SE SSIONS -(THIS DAY):

This morning these Sessions were held pursuant to ad-
journment,at the Sessions-house in Westminster, before
F. Coxsr, Esq., Chairman, and a bench of Magistrates,
when the following traversers from the last sitting of the
Court were put upon their trial.
Richard Brayley and Luke Brayley, brothers, young
men of very respectable appearance, surrendered to take
their trials upon an indictment for a joint assault upon'
Thos. William Anthony, whilst in the execution of his
duty in the avenues of Drury lane theatre, on the night of
the 27th ult. The defendants were, in another count,
charged with a common assault. They also stood in-
dicted for an assault on Samuel Giles.

The Clerk of the Peace having charged the Jury. the
Tosecutors were called in Court, but did not amwer.

The defendants were then called upon to produce an
affidavit that notice of trial bad been regularly served upon
the plaintiffs.
Mr. CLARKSON, for the defendants, said that unfor-
tunitely the attorney for his clients, who happened to
be a brother, and who bad served the notice, was not then
present, and consequently he was not prepared to prove
the fact according to the usual form.

The CHAIR:NIA; said that he could not listen to the case
until the usual course had been complied with, the defen—
dants were now in the hands and custody of the Court, at
the instance of the prosecutors, and therefore it could not
allow the defendants to depart until an affidavit was sworn
to Court that they (the prosecutors) had been apprised of
their intention to surrender.

Mr. CLARKSON said the attorney was a highly respec-
table man, and had breakfasted with his brothers that
morning, and observed he would be at the Court by ten
o'clock.

The CHAIRMAN said however he might be inclined to
take his (Mr. Cla►kson's) word that notice had been
served, he could not do it in Court, he acted on a matter of
form. The Court hail no objection to allow the case to
stand over till its rising.
Mr. CLARKSON then applied to the Court to respite the
recognizances until the next session.
The COURT refused to do so ; it would allow fresh bail
to be given.
Mr. CLARKSON said he only knew that his clients, be-
cause they refused to pull their hats off in the theatre, and
huzza for Reform, they were knocked off into the pit, and
that created the disturbance.

The CHAIRMAN said he could not listen to any thing in
the present stage of the business. -
At this moment the attorney entered the Court with an
affidavit, which, upon being read, merely averred that
notice had been served only on Mr. James Isaacs, the at-
torney, he, the deponent, believing him to be the attorney
for the plaintiffs.
The COURT held that the affidavit did not go far enough,
inasmuch as the attorney for the defendants had no proof
that Isaacs was engaged by the plaintiffs. Under these
circumstances, the Court allowed the recognizance. to be
respited until next sessions, the attorney undertaking to
give sufficient notice of trial to the plaintiffs.

The defendants then left the court with their friends.
The sessions were then adjourned to the 23d June.

" A Reformer" mentions, that the spire of
the village church of Stockbury was adorned with the
blue flag of Reform on Wednesday last. We observed it,
and also heard the cheers given on the occasion by dd.-
ferent parties of Reformers who were passing. The
Church of England would not have suffered in the esti-
mation of the public, if a few more such emblems were
hoisted. As it is, the Clergy generally have taken special
care to show how opposed they are to the wishes and feel-
ings of the people. And tin re will come a time when
the people will remember it.—Kent Herald.
A sharp drought, easterly winds, and frosty
nights have affected the young barley plant in many places,
and checked any tendency towards a decline in prices,
which barley might have experienced in common with all
other grain, during the last few weeks. The wheats do
not look so healthy on the land as they did a month ago,
the blade being rusty at the tip, while the plant is dis-
po,ed to spindle; it should be observed, that this is not
an unusual appearance in the month of May. The arrivals
of foreign wheat and flour have been larger than was anti•
cipated ; and although the quality is, generally speaking,
of a very inferior description, still the supply is so great
as to have had considerable effect in depressing the price
of the best article. Beans are in good request, froth
a prevailing opinion that the grain is getting fast exhauSted
in Essex and Kent, the two counties mainly depended
on for supplies at the London market. Peas are a very
dull sale; and the very large arrivals of foreign oats have
thrown a gloom over the trade. Good, handsome, and
dry oats, however, are tolerably firm in the market, though
the importations, particularly from Ireland, are very large.

folk Herald
