and forwards. lie (Mr. Martin) mild not bear to see a
coittinuanceof such inhumanity, and not finding an officer,
seized the Defendant hiuiself, for the ptirpose of bringing him
to the office. He hail, how ever, to lead his prisoner through
three 'parts 'Of the market before an officer could be found
to take him into cilstotlY, and was exposed, to the utmost
danger from the fertSciouk brotherhood of drovers, who were
ready to resale the 'defendant, and Would no doubt, have
cracked his (Mr. Martin's) shill, had they, been Stipulated to
an attack by the defendant, who certainly deseived to be Con-
sidered, for not hiving taken advantage of their disposition.
Mr. Martin then said, he had heard the defendant was a drover
of good character, but Whatever might be the claim to a fair
report in other respects, the cruelty exhibited against the sheep
was atrocious% the highest degree. Several Gentlemen who
reside in the market here declared, that the defendant's general
conduct to cattle was inhuman ; that whenever he was expos-
tulated with for leveriry, he cursed and swore at those who re-
proached hial; and flogg4 the animals he 19113 driving in a
worse -manner,
Alderman Coit said he ShOuld certainly fine the defendant
to the utmost eitelit. ,
Mr. Martin. begged that,: as the defendant had not accepted
the offer of the 'other drovers; and consented to be rescued, the
fine of twenty shillings might be reduced to ten.
The instal-ices of inhumanity against the defendant were how-
ever lo numerous, that the. Alderman said he could not con.'
scienausly.redtice the penalty.
Here the inhabliants generally Camplained of the condtict of
the drOvers 15Sinitliiield Market, and deelared,• one and all,
that there was no safety in
,ytssing while those ruffians had
charge of eattie. Their cruelty to animals was only to be
equalled by their gross abuse and carelessness about the lives
of his Majesty's Subjects. It was to be regretted that there
was no controal exercised over such fellows, and that the offi-
cers who should be in attendinee at the market *ere not at all
attentive to their dtity,- as the utmost latitude was 'upon all oc-
casions given to the drovers, and of course Mr. Martin's Bill
Was so far rendered inoperative.
Mr. Brown, the Chief Marshal, stated, that he had given
directions to the day patrol, stationed regularly in the market,
to be ready on every occasion to act with the greatest prompt-
ness; and he was surprised to hear of the complaint against
thew..
The inhabitants Raw, the excuse of the officers was, that they
were not numerous enough to act; but on most occasions,
where the presence of officers was necessary, not one was to be
found, Anil in the present case, particularly, the absence of
the offieers was observable.
Aldermah 'Cox said, that under these circumstance he should
renitire the assistance of his brother Magistrate ; 'and tug.
waited that the inhabitants should speedily memorial the Court
of,Aldermen on the subject.
The officers declared that theY arc constantly in the market,
but they confesSed they had not seen the case of Mr. Martin,
great as was the ii.o‘va collected on the occasion.
Alderman Cot believed that the officers were principally to
blame, and ,ekpressed his determination to do all in his power
to render the market a place in which a man might appear
Without dabger,of his life.
Mr. Martin then said, that as the defendant had not con:.
tented to be rescued., and as the drovers of the market might
hive cracked his (Mr. 51artinis) skull, had the defendant urged
thehi to violence, he should pay half the penalty. Be then paid
10s. and the defendant 10s. snore.

MEr-iNcnor.v ACCIDENT. .'_____On Wednesday
evening between nine and ten o'clock, as Mr. Douglas, brewer
in Lassviade, was returning home front Edinburg!), in company
with a friend, he had occasion to'dismount at Edgehead ; his
friend rode slowly forward, and in about two minutes was
alarmed by Mr. D's horse
.passing himat full speed without the
rider.`.- On returning to within about thirty yards of where he
had left him, he found him laying on his face on the road,
free from external injury, but bleeding profusely from the
mouth, nose, and ears ; he died almost instantly. It is suppos-
ed that his horse bad set off at the gallop before be got pro-
perly seated, and that his death was =awned by the rupture
of a blood vessel front the fall. Mr. Douglas was only thirty-
five years of age, was a man much respected, and his left a
wife and four children, and an extensive circle a friends, who
will long lament his premature end.—( Edinburgh Courant,
