VII.,TEki). DAY.

This NNT.is an action by a coach-maker at i3righ.:
ton against the defendant, a Gentleman well
known as a resid-ent`there, to recover payment for
altering his chaise from a two-wheel chaise to h
four wheeled carriage ; the work being proved to
have been .done,

Mr: Sedeant SHEPLIERIi stated, that his client,
Mr. Day, ha:VI-net with a-severe accident by being
thrown from his gig, which determined him to ride
in more safety in future, and therefore he deter-
mined to have his carnage altered to a four-wheet-
el one With this view, he made ".an eithibit of
himself to the coach-maker, and desired a. carriage
in which .he might ride; in safety ; and, indeed, it
vas most• important that Mr. Day should, -not be
thrown down ; for, like Falstaff, he might truly
say, " When f 'am down, have you any levers to
lift me up again ?" He was, indeed, a true re-:
semblanCe of, Falstaff in person, in wit, and in
good humour ;' but he also went farther,, for he
was a perfect gentleman, a man of honour and of
truth, which Falstaff was -not. However, having,
ordered this carriage of -the coach-maker, when
it first came home it was wholly iMpossible for
Mr. Day to mount into it. -Seeing this defect,
the plaintiff scratched his ears, and, shook his
head, and at length, said, he would contrive a step
which should enable Mr. Day to mount ,itto thc
carriage. A Step was accordingly put to it, and
Mr. Day with some difficulty succeeded in mount
ing; but here another occurred ; having
once, got into the seat, it was 'found. almost an irn-:
possibility that he should get out of it again. In
short, the carriage was found wholly inadequate
for the purpose for which it was intended
and on these groundS .he contended, that the
defendant was not bound toy pay for the alter-
ations.

Tht Learned Judge held, after hearing the
Counsel-on both sides, that the defendant was
bound to pay for the work; and that if it were
improperly executed, he might maintain a cross
action.
Verdict for the plaintiff.

- STRABANE, JULY 28,--We feel exceedingly sorry
to notiee, that a spirit of discord and party dissen •
tion has lately prevailed. in some parts of this
county, particularly-about Killeter, the fatal of-'
fects of Which were on Tuesday last (being the.
fair-day of -Killeteq unhappily exemplified. On
the morning-of that day, the Longfield corps of
cavalry and infantry went to the fair, in conse-
quence, it is said, of,a report that a large body
of
,countrynien intended to collect there for the'
purpose *of *rioting. In the course of the•day, a
•dispute arose about the payment of cust6rns, and
some olthe cavalry were dispatched to quell the
riot.: In their progre!_:s to the scene of action,
much. confusion ensued -in the crowded streets,
and several people were thrown down.; and it be-
ing:reported that a poor old. woman had been
killed by the carelessness of the yeomen, the
crowd began to follow the cavalry, and throw
siOnes at them: They retreated to the 'high part
of the street, and .sounded the bugle for the in-
lantry. tojoin them, who were alSo assailed in the
same manner by the populace, and some of them
Severely hurt ; this conduct -so exasperated the
yeomanry; that they fired among the crowd,
when, hnfortunately, four people were killed on
the spot, and twelve severely wounded. These
are-all the particulars of this unfortunate affair
Which we have yet learnt.—(Belfast Paper).

A systeni of retrenchment has, it, seems, been
found. necessary at Covent Garden Theatre, and
several of the perfdriners hale been el-Chided
from• tie future arrangement, among whom
is CLAgi:Nrowi, m'ho, hoiyer el', Wa's Certe.llllV
useful actor, and, according to all accounts, al-
ways. very regdlar and'attentive iii dis Charging his
dirty . •

Though it has been strongly rumoured in•theatri-
cal circles, that KEMBLE is,.to take the lead at
. the new Theatre in Drury-lane, yet it is now as
confidently whispered that cordMity has been re-
stored between him and his colleague; and that he
will next season resume his post at Coirent-garden
Theatre.

When 'KEMBLE concludes his engagement at
Edinburgh, he proceeds to Dundee. N" othing
could be more flattering, than the reception which
he expeiienced at the former place;i and the Edin-
burgh Courant, which is distinguisliedfor acute and
liberal criticism, 'is highly, encomiastic on his
merits.

It should be mentioned to the credit of th? late
Mr. lIAREASoN, ~vhose name stdoil so deservedly
high in the musical world, that he was principal
singer, boy and man, at the. Concert or Ancient
Music, for ~the long period of thirty-two years,
and during the Whole .of that time was onlyabsent
from one perforinance. Such an ex:Unple ought
to be attended to by all public performers, wno
are at times prone to. caprice, pique, and affec-
tation .

It was many,years-ago humorously said, in re,
ference to the rage for building whiera. prevailed at
that period, that " London was going
.out of
town," and as the same rage continues, a wag
has mentioned the metropolis under the, head of
" fashionable departures:' .
