LORD 3EL3EY V. POWF.LL.

This Was an action brought by the plaintiff'
upon the statute of Edward VI. for the recovery
of treble the valne of tour years' tythes of corn,
arising from a farm lately enclosed from Btansted
Forest in Sa4sex. Defendant (who is tenant of
Lewis Way, Etq. of Stansted Park), in 1810,
agreed to take the farm ip question_ on lease for
16 years, at ten shillings an acre, but shortly
after Mr. Way being; informed it \\Poohd not be
liable to pay tithes to plaintiff (who is the impro-
pr iator) for seven years. insisted on his tenant's
paying him two mid sixpence ap acre wore—the
tithes being considered worth that sum, and the
lease (after some remonstrance by the tenant)
mis prepared acvsi'diugi-v, wherein Mr. Way co-
venanted to indemnity the defendant against the
payment of tithes fur the first seven years of tile
term.

"The defence set ❑p bylfr.Way (who pursuant to
his covenant defended the action for the defendant).
was, that the hind; wir4, barren and nu ffofitahle
land, and, tinder another 'statute of Ed‘vard
not liable to yield tithes for seven years after its
being brcw.tit into a state of cultivatiOn.

On the part of plaintiff it was proved, that the
land was formerly planted with gOod oak and
beech tiriibcr, and that when. it Was broken up,
it wjs covered with fine undcrwood, and that de-
fendant-had the same for his trolthle in- gruhhiiig
it. That when- Mr. Way purchased the forest,
he had paid 3t) years purchase for it at 9s. an
acre; that it bore since rood wheat, pease, •and
oats, without any considerable cx.pence,for ma-
nure ; and plaintiff, under all these strong cir-
cumstances, brought his action.
The Jury, notwithstanding the evidence ad-
duced by plaintiff (which was uncontradicted,
defendant not having examined a single %vituess),
and the cases cited by the Learned Judge in favour
of the plaintiff's claim, gave the defendant a
'verdict.

CHARGE OF POISONING A Famir.Y.,--Yesterday
this Office was very much crowded to hear this
extraordinary charge. Elizaheth Feinting, cook

cery-lane, was charged on the oath of Mr. (M-
-bar Turner, and Mr. John Marskal, surgeon, of
No. 12, Half Moon-street, Piccltlilly, on snspi-
ciou of unlawfully and wilfully mixing with flour
made iuto food and victuals a certain poison call-
ed arson c, which was to be eaten by Mrs. Char-
lotte Turner, wife of Robert Turner, with intent
her foicill and Murder, and which poisoned food
vas afterwards eaten by the said Mrs. Turner, by
‘vhich, means she became diseased and disordered,
and is in great danger oflosng her life. The pri-
soner-professed her innocence of the charge in the
most solemn manner, stating, that she herself had
,p4rtaken of the. same food, whereby she ran the,
risk .of losing her own life, and tinder the effects
of which she still labours, as can he attested by
the surgeon of the infirmary of .the prison in
w l;ich she is confined.' .From the present dan-
gerous state of Mrs. Turner, connected with Other
circumstances, the examination was postponed to
a Intw.e day, and -the prisoner was remanded to

un;ler very kiggravating circumstances, with steak
itlg from Mrs. Ilarri::on, chair and sofa covvrs,
gutvi:s, and many other articles of N. H.'s
.veuri,ig apparel. The plisoner having learhied

Nai M. 13. I. a Vier' charac cr,
weht to her "%;:ith a story of y.Stie•said she
vrat literally,ttarving ; that she WA foilr children
at lirine, sick and destitote of every thing ; and
that the had
.her lyinl.t in the libise a
corpse ! inst:inti gave Ad the silver she
had in her pocket, and relieved her SlA•eral diffe-
rent times afterwirds. Bating hus-
bane, and rcb-3vered somewhat friun the Shwd: of
her situation; the prisoner told Mrs. a that she
did not always want to live on Charity; that she
Could work ; that she Would Wait) fot Mt 3. U. if
her benefactress pleased. She accordingly did
some washing for Mis. IL rcguldrly returning the
three first parcels ; but the loulth, being a large
and valuable bundle, was never returned. Aster
considerable search, the prisoner was found, when
it was ascertained that all the tale of woe was a
gross piece of itnposition, for she had no chil-
dren, -and her husband was alive and well. Part
of the stolen property was found at pawnbrokers;
and produced ; hut the prosecutrix wished only.to
proceed for the unlawfully pawning.
,Mr. COLQUHOUN said, the case wtis of a most
odioas'aspeet, tending as it did to check the inf.,
pukes of benevolence, and called for more severe
punishment. than awaited the prisoner: ' She must
pay a fine of -Ios. reinnd the money obtained frrnit
the pawnbrokers., or he imprisoned in Tothill-
fields for three months ; and, when the other pro-
perty was found, another charge would be ex-
hawed.
