Court that the other prisoners might be discharged on
their own recogniaances, in order that they and others
would be grateful for the lenity with which they had
been treated.

Mr. Justice PARK observei that it would be impossible
for any one who witnessed these proceedings to go forth,
to say that they were characterised by any oppression.
On the contrary, they were marked by a forbearance very
uncommon indeed, but no less creditable where there were
any favourable circumstances to render it consistent with
the safety of the public service. He then exhorted the
prisoners to conduct themselves peaceably and industriously,
and observed that the object of these prosetutions was not
to effrct any vindictive purpose, but to protect peaceable
and unoffending persons from lawless aggression. At the
same time it was proper for him to say that for that very
object, from what appeared to him of the cases, it would
be necessary to make some fearful examples of some kind
or other at this place. _ _ _

The prisoners were then discharged on their own recog-
nizances.

bO/I,CiItSTER, JAN. 10.

At five o'clock this afternoon Mr. Baron VAUGHAN and
Mr. Justice ALDERSON arrived in town, and immediately
proceeded to the Court-house to open the Commission.
Their Lordships were escorted into town by the usual
civic force, added to which were the yeomanry cavalry of
the county, who mustered nearly to the number of 100,
and preceded the carriage of the Learned Judges in double
file, ❑ntil its arrival at the Town-hall. When their Lord-
ships appeareJ upon the Bench they were attended by
John Bond Esq., the High Sheriff for the county, and
also by Mr. Woollaston, the Recorder. In a few minutes
afterwards they were joined by the Earl of Shaftesbury,
and several oth,r gentleman of the county.
As soon as the Commission was read their Lordships
adjourned the Court until twelve o'clock to-morrow.
In my last communicition I stated that the disturbances
had for some time ceased in thiscounty, no case having oc-
curred for four or five weeks either of machine-breaking or
burning. I regret to say, however, that I have this mo-
ment heard that two fires have just taken place—the ono
at Illandford, and the other at Ower, both in this county.
The latter fire, I have been given to understand, proved
destructive to two cottages, a corn-tick, and to four horses,
and no doubt is entertained that it was the work of an in.
cendiary. The fire at Ower is reported to have taken
place at one o'clock this morning, and that at or near
Blandford on Saturday night. _ .

The Special Assizes for this county is expected to be
finished on Friday or Saturday next, at farthest.

The calendar presents a list of fifty prisoners, all of
whom are charged with breaking threshing machines (the
majority of the prisoners are indicted for this offence), with
robbery and riot. The numbers of persons indicted for
these respective offences are as follow :
For breaking threshing and other agricultural machines... 29
For robbery ‘45
For riotously assembling
For assaulting constables in the execution of their duty.... 3
For rescuing a prisoner

(From the Times )
The whole proceedings of this day in Court were of the
most afflicting and distressing nature. But the laceration
of the feelings did not end with the proceedings in court.
The car for the removal of the prisoners was at the back
entrance to the Court-house, and was surrounded by s
crowd of mothers, wives, sisters, and children, anxiously
waiting for a glance of their condemned relatives. The
weeping and wailing of the different parties, as they
pressA the hands of the convicts as they stepped into the
car, was truly heart-rending. We never saw so distressing
a spectacle before, and trust that the restored tranquillity
of the country will prevent us from ever seeing any thing
like it again.

The criminals capitally condemned on Monday, at Salit•
bury, are ordered for execution on the 25th of January.

UENERAL REGISTRY 07FICIt.
Yesterday a special general meeting of the West
Riding Law Society was held at the George In
ns
Wakefield, to take into consideration the alteration(
proposed to be made in the law for the registry
deeds, by the contemplated General Registry Act, an
to adopt such measures as may be thought necessalli;
A long and somewhat conversational discussion toon
place, at which it appeared to be the general 01)Ini°0
that the proposed alteration in the law was likeli.,
be more burdensome to the freeholders than Inuc
roes to the profes,ion, whose interest it was ii—eCe
to promote, by creating the necessity of duplieabe
deeds. It was ultimately determined to leave t
drawing up of the resolutions to a committee, an
who were instructed to call the attention of the fref,
holdei to measures which seemed likely matcrialu
to affect their interests. —Leeds Mercury.
