LAW INTELIAGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S 13.ENCIT, Nev. 30.

BRUNE V. WESSEL.

This was an action of brotight by-a
-rnerelTantagainst.the clerk .and nephew of ,fir.
Groning, a Hamburg!) merchawt, with Whom the
plaintiff had formerly joint adventures. Upon the
defendant's arrival in this i:ontry, in 1811, he
was rect:ieti at Cue plaintiff's house and table.—
The, plaiatiff and Mr. Groning had agreed to refer
a matter to arbitration, - which ineolved 'the cha-
racter of the latter, and had given rise to much
inflammation bet Ween them ; and the assault by
the defTudant was COIIIIIiitte4 on die morning on'
Which Mr. thawing executed the agreement of
reference, viz. on 24th Of June last, at'll o'clock
in the forenoon; at the corner of Bury-court, St.'
12-lary-axe, in the presence of many witnesses. The
assault was proved by them to be very violent,.
and consisted of the defendant's .striking - the
plaintiff with his fist and umbrella, without any
provocation, the defendant abusing the plaintiff
at the same time; and saying,'" It might cost
hi it 501. but he did not care for that."

The Jury, ►►fter retiring for a considerable time,
found their verdict for the plaintiff—Datbages-80
guineas.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 30.
THE KING V. PARDOE.

A Writ of Scire Pciciasltas been lately issued,
to try the validity of a patent obtained by the de-
fendant (who is a carpet manufacturer of New-
gate-street, and a partner in the house of Messrs.
Ilooman, Porcine, and-I-lonic-Jan, of Kiddermin-
ster), for'a pretended new invention for making
patterns in Kiddeivinster or Scotch carpeting ;
but the defendant having thought proper to suffer
judgment to go by default, the patent is rendered
null and void. The great perseverence of... Messrs.
• Brooms, to whom
.the manufacturers are much
indebted, has led to this result.

AGRICULTURE, -tkc

MONTHLY REPORT FOR NOVEMBER.

The Wheat sowing being finished early in the
month, the operatio..is in husbandry have been
principally directed through the latter part to giv-
ing fresh dials to the lands intended fur Spring
{brit, and breaking up the eddishes for the next
year's fallow. In several districts we regret to
state, that even this is not carried on with
.the same
cultivating_ spirit that marked the husbandry of.
past times, when the produce proved a fair corn
pensation for the rent and labour Of the soil.
The forward young Wheats continue ; their pro-
mising appearance, evidently benefited by the
cheek they received from the few sharp frosts.
The Ttil'hiPs stand well; but the Coleseed, whe-
ther for crop, or. feed, has far from so healthy an
appearance. Potatoes have proved, in most
parts,. very, productive. Hay keeps a steady
price in the London Markets, but in several
distant counties it has adVaneed considerably,
from the great expenditure on stock of the former
year's crop. Smithfield has bad large supplies of
'beef and Mutton on lower terms. Veal and
House. Lamb fetch more money, and every thing
of the Pig kind is dearer. The open growing
weather has given a turn in favour .of Lean Stock,
particularly in well-bredl.3eats. Store Sheep are'
iik,,vise. ill demand at higher prices'. Horses of
figure, forthe field or road, sell high, but Draught
Untie are lower, from the diminution of the num-
ber now employed in tillage. The Wool Market
is brisk, particularly for long fleeces, the prime of
which fetch 71./s. per cod.

AMERICAN ATROCITIES.

(From a 'Montreal Paper.)

" Mr. G (LEY ,---The effrontery of 'Mr. Madison,
as Chief iNElgistrate of the self-tyled most en-
lighted people on earth, in publishing to the
world, So.base a falsehood, as he has Lady done
in a formal State P:ipcir, ty denying that
,the Ame-
rican army has cot mitted any enormities in Ca-
nada, has,no parallel; but in the bulletins of his
ci-devant friend Buonaparte, who being now po-
litically dead, the American President, as the
Could Arch Jacobin in rank, as a Ruler, probably
considers himself lawful heir to the arts and im-
positions by which he deluded mankind.
General. Hull began the war in 1812, by an
exterminating -,Proclatnation, and burnt 'a dwell-
ing4ouse at Sandwich, at the time of his retreat
acrOss the river, alter having Made free with pri-
vate property, and matte,sad havoc amongst Lord
Selkirk's sheep.
" The campaign in 1813 commenced by the
American army and fleet burning- the public
buildings at York, the Capital of Upper Canada,
inelpding those used-for civil (such as the court-
house, and house where the Legislature
.tweet) as
well as 'tor military purposes.
"They even sent a detachment 'to the head of
Lake Ontario to burn a tavern, becan'se the house'
had originally been built by..(j.overnment., Atter
this, what right had M.r. Madison to complain of
the burning the public, buildings at Washington,
where the Pandeinoniwn sat wh'cli had so long
brooded over, rospe(t,• with a ghastly smile,
the ruin of Great -Britain. That burning was
sure a Most hallowed retalliation.

" Last December, the American army-burnt the
village of Newark, turning out men, woliten,,a9il
children, to live tinder the canopy of Heaven. at
that inclemeht season, without aliaving them
;time to save bedding, clothes, or furniture,
the humane PreSident jicStifieS, by stating that it
was needful in a military point of view, for the
defence of Fort George.
" Now this is an abominable falsehood, for at
the time of this harping, instead of *CH-opting to
defend Fort George, they abandoned it, tan 4 es-
caped across the river be4,pre our troops• ap7
peared.
" At different- times' during the present cam-
paign, they have burnt vifimges and settlements,
viz :—Dover, St. Davids, and Port Talbot, with
streets; mills, &c. in Upper Canada : also all the
private stores and housts at St Mary's, near Lake
Superior, and St. Joseph in L-ike Huron, having
previously pillaged them of every thing moveable'
worth carrying away.—At St. :1-Tary's there was
not a building or article of any kinifoelonging to
'Government.

" Thus (laving reduced fire and pillage .into.
uniform practice, on such a vAriety of occasions,
it is adding insult pretend that
those cruelties were perpetrated without or against
orders.

" Mr. Madison -begins, lowever, now to whine
anti hint (by Mr. Monro', tter to Atimiralkoch-
rane) that if indemnity' to ,iltiering- individuals
were to be !nude, it should-be reciprocal, because
tioubtkessfinding it likely-to turn out a bad specu-
lation (as he cannot preserve monopoly of
burning, which in. his vanity he expecte:). it
mißlit perhaps he now convenient to settle•an
account of profit and less on that score, a,,,d•there-
bY claim of us a balance.. It is however to be
hoped, that we are not to be so duped.
" To put the facts beyond all doubt, the fol-
lowing authentic documents are published. They
ought to be,insertjd in 'every,Newspaper throuh-
out the British dominions; that it -may be seen
what kind of enemy ewe have to contend with.:
" Attention to the-mode of employment of In-
dians by the enemy, is particularly rcquested, (see
the following documel t) as they hypocritically
affect to toad its with abuse upon that head ; 'whilst
it is well known .that the cruelties of the ,1 uteri-
can back woods militia far surpass any thing done
by Indians.

Extracted from the I ecords of the Loyal and patriotic So-
ciety of Upper Canada, by .
JOIIN STIIACHAN, Treasurer.
On the 15th of May a detachment of the AMe- •
rican army, under a Colonel Campbell, landed at
Long Point, County of Norfolk, District of
London, Upper Canada, and on that and the fOl-,
lowing day pillaged and laid waste as much of the
adjacent country as they could reach. They burnt

the village of Dover with the Mills, and all the
mills and dwelling-houses •in the vicinity, carrying
off as much property as was easily portable, and
killing the, cattle, &c.

Dwelling-houses burnt Itl •• , •

.4 stroyed, fifty thousand
Distilleries
Tan-house - _

The number of'.families wantonly ruined.
this occasion is twenty-five. There was no public
property within fifty miles of the place, and the
:ravage ferocity exhibited by the American troops,
and especially by their Commanding Officer, could
,only be equalled by General Jacksob's cool mas-
sacre of the unresisting Creeks.
" SIR-The burning of Newark in December
-last was in itself so cruel, anti attended. with so
,many acts'of atrocity, as to .force General Drum-
mood, much against his inclination, to retaliate
upon the enemy, by destroying Lewiston and
Bialaloe. Here the .friends of, humanity hoped
that a system so pernicious would stop, more es-
pecially atter the candid and 'excellent Proclama-
tion issued on the.subject by the Governor in
Chief. But the, American Rulers, with humanity
continually on their lips, persevere in the system,
and studiously give a character of Saliage violence
to the war, unknown among civilized nations.
The village of St, ll.tvids was lately burnt, and
the pretended punishment inflicted by General
Brown on the offending Officer, _added insult to
the injury. The result of a Court of Inquiry on
Col. Campbell, for destroying the Long Point
‘Settlemetit, proves beyond dispute the guilt of the
Government, had it not been manifest from the
disgraceful treatment of prisoners of war. This
repiir jUstifies Col. Campbell for burning all the
privata mills, and finds him in an error for burning
the houses of the inhabitants ; on his cruelties
and robberies it says nothing. It is. proper that
extraordinary Acts of ferocity committed by the
entiimy should lie published, that they may be
known to the Brit,sh nation, and her commanders
by sea and land. Many facts of this nature are
communicated to the Loyal and Patribtic Society ;
to enable that body to give relief to the sufferers.

" From these 1 select two of this campaign.—
The conduct of the enemy at Long Point, on the
.15th and lfith of May, awl at Port Talbot on the
16th of August. Intik iolnal instances of bruta,
lity-ou the part of 114 c-raelny are=, innunierable.-7
(ien. Porter threatened tlitorse-whip Mrs. Glasgo
tor -requesting hint to leave her one of her cows
to give :milk to her five children, :They had taken
her 11w-baud olf his farm a prisolier,, robbed her of
every thing, turned her and the children
.out
naked tind penityless, and because the poor creit-
tote it:treated for one of her cows, site was bru-
tallyinsulted by the American-General. At Fort
'Talbot .they stripped the children naked, and after
robbing several of the more respectable inhabi-
tants of their hatL, shoes, and coats, they bound
them like felons, and carried them away prisoners.
Mahlon Burwell, Esq, Member of !the House of
Assembly, was treated in this pianner,.though ill
ihe tever and ague. Colonel Talbot escaped
nitlt touch difficulty, but without being able to
save a sitioe-orticle.

Yna.will;in,ert thee facts in your • respecta-
ble Paper. Their publicity. way produce a change
of system, and a return'to the rules. of civilized
warfare.
