THE KING V. EDWARD DeGRATH.
This was an indictment against the defendant for consPiril
with one John Maherly to cheat and defraud Sir Thos. Ss Ytrie
mer Champneys, Bart., of certain bills of exchange to
amount of 2,500/. The defendant Maberly had• not pleaded
'
M'Grath pleaded Not Guilty.
A strong case was opened against the defendant, but as lbe
proceedings. were stopped in limine in consequence of ac • ,
between the allegations in the indictment and the evidence; by
forbear, in justice to the defendant, to state the facts openeui};,
Counsel. The indictment alleged, that on a certain day in ''';;fj
cember, 1820, the defendants conspired to cheat and defra
Sir T. S. Champneys, Bart. and in pursuance of such coneys'
racy, did obtain divers acceptances of Sir T. S. ChamPlal
Bart. When the Baronet came to be examined, he stated, in
his father did not die until July, 1821, so that he Was "titte
point of fact, Sir Thomas Swymmer Champneys, Bart. at
time of the alleged conspird.cy.
The defendant's Counsel objected that this was a misaescriP
tion of the prosecutor, and consequently that the indicune
must fail. ho •
The Lord CHIEF BARON was clearly of opinion that the
jection was fatal. Verdict—Not Guilty.

THE HARVEST.—Within these few daYs fro
have had a very favourable change in the weather, and 11°,0
progress has been accordingly made in reaping the earlY,..3c

Wheats, which have been found in general to be weightY e

crops suffered injury flow malted grains--a defect which watha
injuriously experienced last year. The recent wet wqrat,
appears to have done but little damage of any kind to s
except in peculiarly unfavourable situations. Of autumnal ?I:frit,.
oats, the harvest is nearly finished, and the produce is in teaj,
ral good. The spring sown oats are for the most part back ~,r.
and we have heard many complaints of their unhealtbY '7,r6

Potatoes, which have every, where assumed an uncotnrearoc

that deficiency in the main article of subsistence for the tea
from which, in many partsof Ireland, so much distress hestit
this season experienced. Our markets have been for som of an
plentifully supplied with New Potatoes, which are mostlY., for .
excellent quality, and were sold on Saturday so cheap
six-pence the weight of twenty-one pounds—a price inuctyod of
than had been kuown.for many years at so early a Pr'bota-
the season. On the whole, there are no grounds for aPPrtest,
ing a recurrence of distress in the ensuing year, at leasAdver-
