CIVIL SIDE.

SA/ORS LORD ELLSNSOROOOn.

CONEY V. JONES.

This was an aEtion at trover, to recover the vaine
of a horse, to which the 'Plaintiff and De(endaut
both laid claim as their oWti, and the question corn-
ed entirely on the identity of the animal.
Mr. Serjeapt SHEPHERD,' for the Pl:Tintitf, stated,
that a person of the name of Nolan hired to e horse
in question of the Plaintiff in last, for the
purpose of
.going to Hythe, and when he arrived
there it was claimed at the stable by the Defendant
who insisted it was his horse, and that it had
•been
stolen from him some time back. He identified it
because it had One .ye, a scar upon the' lump, and
be also stated that it was a quiet horse in the stable.
Now he should shew in evidence possession of the
horse in question from the persons from whom the
Plaintiff purchased it from the year 1803. It V.,ao
true it had but one eye at that time, but with re-
sped .to the scar on the rump, he should prove that
it happened since the horse came into the pUsseSiott
of the Plaintiff, by running against a chaise shaft.
The other criterion also by which the Defendant
identified the horse, he should shew also to fail, for
instead of the animal's being quiet in the stable, she
had the habit of biting at all those who came near
her. Witnesses were caiied: and proved' the above
statement.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH observed, that the Plaintiff
had shewn an uninterr :?ted possession of the horse
in himself, and these under whom he claimed, since
the year 1803, Pnii ltouglit the weight of evidence
much in'his tavour. Verdi& for the Plaintiff.

POPTRY.

THE EMIGkANT:

A. TOEM.

INSCEIEED TO THE CHEVALIER DE B-;...DE.

On the broad margin of the flood recluM, •
An Emigrant, to pensive thought re'ign'd,
Watch'd the proud billowi, bieaking at his feet,
W4tch'd the hoarse wave In sullen pride retreat;
.And listen'd lo the wind.

The Western sky, in gay elrulgence drcss'd,
Receiv'd'the Sun, declining to its rest,
Whose length'ning ray touch'd many a passing sail ;
'Britannia's Pennants floated on the gale :
Pain piere'd the Stranger's breast,

For as the beam shot the bread waves askance,
It struck the white, opposing Cliffs off ranee
"My Country cry'd the Patriot—" I mourn,
" o France thy, breast with wild convulsions torn
• " Thy woes, my woes enhance

•
" For thee I foUght, till anarchy eiisu'd,
" And fertile plains with civil blood cinbrn!cl.;
" Till the proud Viitor seiz'd thy flawing reins :—.
" Then, fure'd to flee, or wear the tontrror's chains,

" My adverse fate pursu'd."

cast en the Beach, he tit} his tearful eyes;

CootLding passions in his breastarise
He muurn'u his Country's Woes; he mouro'cl his own ;
Ua his desponding mind no comfort Shone;
- He heav'd heart:rending sighs.

His griefs I wept, in sympathizing mood,.
%Valli; still unnotic'd, on the shore I stood:
I3'etorv. me, suddenly, thick mists arise !
c.ewy exhalations feath the skies,
And skim along the flood :

The mists dissolv'd: bnght as the solar stare •
Brir..nnia rose triumphant, in her Car
In azure. vest was dress'd the heav'rily Maid i
While on their conchs attendant Tritons play'd ;
And Sea-gods came from tar.

The grand Procession moving tow'rds the land ;
Se'a-nymphs and Tritons throng the busy strand ;
Britannia quits her tow'ring trophitd seat;
The Emigrant, surpris'd, regains his feet ;
The Genius takes his hand:

" Why mourns my Friend ? Arm'd in thy Country's cause,
" See Albion ready to assert her laws:
See (she exclaim'd) her nunerous streamers By !
" See her brave Sons*, prepard .for her' to die,
" Or gain Fame's loud applause

" See, from her Ports+, her num'rous Transports sail
" See their proud canvas catch the prosp'rous gale 1
" Soon on thy Land her Heroes shall descend,
" Her Liberty, her Laws, her Rights detend,
" And glorious Conquest hail !"

She spoke. More brightly beam'd declining day
A brighter Form skimm:tl o'er the liquid way I
Soon the fair Vision toueh'd the shingled Strand:
Soon by Great Albion's Geniui took her stand

Around her meteors play.

High was her forehead ; loosely flow'd ker hair
.White was her vestment, and her bosoni bare;
44er sparkling eyes energic warmth inspir'd;
bold inspiration ev'ry action , _
And glow'd throughout hergir.

ErruostAsm, her name:
" See Britain's Heroes stem the surging tide ;
•' Her num'rous Transports skint the main!
" Her Sons shall fight, nor fight in vain !
" Their arms'shall win renown !
4` Conquest their Cause shall crown ! .
" France shall see
" The Despot flee,
" And British Valour own!

4"Tis done !" she cry'd :

" All Europe shall aspire
" To Deeds, its States admire;
" Shall scourge the Land
" With flaming Brand,
" And make the Tyrant's Bands retire!
" The BD U R BON Race shall re-ascend the Throne,
" And British Courage, British Friendship own !
" Then Peace her Olive Branch shall wave
" Then, glorious Fame shall crown the Brave !
" Fair, white-rob'd Virtue grace this Isle I
" And Worth obtain of Heav'n its fay'ring smile !"
She paus'd—Britannia led her to the Car—
lanc'd o'er the waves, quick as the shooting star.
The Emigrant, with gratitude inspied,
Th.: awful, pleasing Prophecy admir'd;
Resign'd the grand Event to Heav'e's Sov'reign Lord,
Vet hop'd his Sword of vengeance Was the British Sword.
