! Thur,,day tact was the fair day of tionnybr',ok.
The weather being fine, (here were greater nuinbrs
seen there than can he remembered on any sucboe..
casion. Notwithstanding that the lower classes
seemed to have Pridillged much in.7!nebriety, ro
quarreling or rioting, s,tich as distinghished former
days • there, 'took place. There were %tune broken
heads upon the road, but .among the drivers of vehi.
cies, anti horsemen, in 'contending for the rgitt of
passage ,to and fro, so:thronged were the different
avenues; There were a vast number of 'horses for
sale, but there were but few buyers-. It seemed to
be a day more. devoted to Illicit than business.
There were more rents than in the preceding year,
and fidiers seemed to be in great pradiee---for in
altrioit' every oue,was to be. heard, the scraping of
catgut, and to be•seen a atrby•and juggy footing

A Cause of considerable importance to th- Lend-
ed Interest was tried at, the Warwick Assizes,
before a Special Jury, between Mr.. Wood, of
Southam; Plaintiff, and Mr. 'C'ooke, of Thorpe,
Defendant, for breach 'of -covenants in a lease.—
The Defendant occupied a grazing farm under a'
,lease for twelve years, at a. low rent, and in the
spring of.the last year applied to thePtaintiff to re-
take the land,. who told the Defendant,-be should
have
.it cheaper than any other person, although
many had applied. The Plaintiff and Defend.in;
were within. two shillings an acre of agreeing, when
the Defendant: told' the Plaintiff if he would' not set
him the land at his ',price, that he would mow-the
whole (which Consisted of about so acres of -old
pasture, and,2s of meadow), and stock, the landtiO
with cattle in the winter, as to make is like a fal-
low : from such., language.the Plaintiff refused to'
continue him tenant, and the alendaht made good
his promise he mowed the whole, and in the
winter put nearly four times the number of cattle
upon the land to what.was usually kept, and parti-
cularly in one meadow of about five acres, -kept in
the rniddle.of winter twenty-two head of :cattle,
and foddered them at long temporary cribq, and
adually made some parts like a fallow.—The de-
fence set up, was, that the Defendant was not
prohibited by the lease frontmowing -the whole,
and that he was only spending the, fodder .that
arose from the land, and which by a covenant he
was 'bound 'to do.—The learned Judge immedi-
ately told the Jury, that the Defendant well
knew that if he mowed the whole, he must keep
a greater number of cattle than usual, to consume
the fodder in the winter, and by having 'so done,
had broken a covenant in the lease, where he
had covenanted not to put upon the premi,es
the last year ;a greater number of. cattle than ae_
cording to the usual course
.of good husbandry,
and thread the •Jury to find a Vcrdid for the
Plaintiff, with the whole damages of 102:1. 31.
which the -Plaintiff proved he had sustained.-.-r
The Jury returned a Verdift for the Plaintiff with
full Damages, Anti the Judge said he should certify
that it was aproper cause for a Special Jury to try,
which subjeas the aifendatlt to pay full Costs.

.'Tuesday night, at a quarter before twelve o'clock,
a fire broke out al the' house of Mr.DaviS, Oilman,
in Leadenhall..treer, which was soon communicated
to the two adjoining bouies, one on the right
longing to Mr. -Swift, Trunkmaker, and the other
on the left to Mr. Park, the Geneva 'war&ioue
:after raging' some time, it was at length got Under,
but not until it had consumed 'the above premises,
with the back par( of the King's Arens, and da-
niaged • some other buildings... iVIr. Devis and
.his
family were out of town, and no person in the house
at the time it. broke out but an infirm old woman.
Mr. Swift, who is 84 years of age,, was .got oue
safe with great difficulty. A parry of the East India
Volootee'p. were of great utility in assisting the
sufferers, to convey such of their furniture as could
be saved, to the India House, where it is now depo-
sited. During the are, two Jew boys were detcated
in attempting to cut the leathern hose belonging tb
the Eist India Company's engines, when they were
secured and sent to the Compeer. Some villains,
alto, during the progress of the flames, gat in.
a house, under, the pretence of affording
assistance 'to the distressed inmates; they then
fastened the door, and began to plunder the house, -
when the door was forced by some people without,
who suipetted their intentions, and the villains were
all taken, and sent to the Poultry' Coinpter.

NORFOLK SCRUTINY.

NORWICR, AtTC. 31.

• AT five o'clock on Friday evening the Court,
having that day confirmed one vote for Mr.'WODE-
VOLiSE, and four for Sir JACOB ASTLEY, which'
made his majority 109, adjourned to two o'clock
next day, on account of the execution of a criminal
appointed for that morning on the -Castle hill. On
Saturday' at two o'clock,.s the. Court being met,
Counsellor HARVU rose, and expressed'his regret,
:at the Scrutiny havitig been protrafted to. .such
length. Before it commenced he thought. there was
suffichrnt ground to -enter upon it, , as. ban appeared.
from.the number of bad votes ; for out of 700 names,
300 had been struck off; notwithstanding which,
be had, forrsonie time past, wished the Scrutiny to
be given up-; he then observed, that. he now came
prepared to state, that he should decline objecling
to . an more votes., or to give
.the Court further
trouble.. 'He requested the Sheriff would accept his'
sincere thanks, and also .his able Assessor, for their
impartial conditd ; nor could he dismiss the subjea
withOut' thanking the Learned Gentlemen in oppo-
sition 'to him, for their candour and liberality,
Which he should ever remember, and for the very.
.handsoMe manner iniwhich they had conduaed them-
selves throughout the ,whele of this business.

Mr. ALDERSON rose, •and contended,' there was

no ground to enter ppon,,the Scru.tioy, for out of the
Soo votes struck off,, very few, indeed were bad,
b.ut what principally arose from negled at informa-
lity- .in the Land Tax Assessments of the several
- Parishes, without any wilful intention of fraud or
deceit. slid„ whatever dislike he had enter-
tained of his Client's opponent for, undertaking the
business of the Scrutiny, was now entirely done
away„ by the handsome manner in. which it had
been declined by Mr. 14-ARVYY ; he, therefOre,
earnestly recommended the restoration of harmony.
Mr. IVIActuNT-CiSH and Mr. litm-rom joined
ALDERSON in thanks to Mr. HARVEY for his liberal
conduft.

-Mr. AD-AIR and Mr. PLum-ramthen adaressed
the Court on the same side,..and the latter concluded

his speech 'by expressing his respeCt for the name
and family of WovirrOtrsE ; hut hOped; 'from the
result of the -pteseiii contest, they would be con.
: vinced that. detraCtion and slander will not avail
with .a discernirrg'People, who-have wisdom to be
forbearing. and obedient Subjects, bus possess virtue
- enough to determine to be free ! • _
The 'Assessor said, he.hatlbeen applied to, that
the Scrutiny might he. continued to the last hour ;
but, if all the parties *ere 'agreeable, he would
order the poll to be again cast up,_ which would
take some time ; however, upon the ACI of Par_
flamer)t being read, it appeared that he had only to
ascertain who liad the majority of votes ; and
that being the opinion
.of all present, :the_ High
Sheriff declared, that THOMAS AVM: COKE, --Esq.
• and Sir JACOB ASTLEY, Bart. havinga'majority on
the poll,. were. duly eleCtedkepresentateiesS for the
County of Norfolk in the ensuing Parliament :
upon-which Sir J. ASTLEY addressed the Court,
and observed, that, was he possessed of 4he_com-
bitted.ability'of the Gentlemen at the Bar, in this
instance it would be inadequate to, express the
pleasure and giatittrde that atluated his, feelings
at the present moment, 'which he considered the
proudest'_ ih his life. He conceived 'that the Ca-
- lumnies levelled -agaiiist him , would heTcbest
futed by relying On the discernment and good sense-
,
of his generous Constituents, -who had so nobly
turned the darts of the malignant into their own
bosoms. 'With respect to his pOlitical principles,
he was uninfluenced by any' man ;-,and as they had
done him the honour of re-eledirig him, he should
exert himself to the utmost of his ability in their
service ; that..he• wished to, live in their good opi-
nion by.adions and not in words—:the laver of his
King and' Country—an admirer and ,p-r-Oted[Or of
the Constittitionand, with an unfeigned atria_
ment, the faithful Representative of the County. of
Norfolk.. •:. •

Mr. Cox F, in.a speech of consjderable length,
expressed his gratitude to the Elators for their
perseverande and unwearied exertions, which had
placed him in that most.flesireable.situatiorr; that he
felt an inenressible joy in- congratulating them
upon the termination of.: the, Struggle, which was
both glorious and honourable. .lie then adverted
,to the attacks on his charaCi.er, the falsehood of
-which were made manifest, of his having shook
his purse at the Freeholders, and that he would
force his worthy Colleazug down, their, thrbats';
with various other assertions- ioo-mean for his.no-
tice, He lamenked the cruel and unnecessary inter-
ruption a their peace and convenience infinitely
more than the immense expence crcate-d.to.itimself ;
for, if occassion, required, he shpuld'i.leem his life
and fortune well spent in the interesv.of Consti-
tuents so truly deserving of. his services,. He was
Lorry that he could not join with Mr.'HAr.v.,Ey in
tha:;kirit the High Sheriff for his impartiality 44nd
as Coli•NiontEtiqusr hacl declared eternal warfare
to the Counv,- he hoped Gentlemen would,bear that
in mind, so that when another eleetion takes place,
i%4T,1. EY .and CeK.E may be honoured with the suf-
frilges of this Independent County,; and while they
strictly.adhere to their, duty in Parliament, with
honesty and fidelity, continue to .I);,.their Repre.
sentat•ives.

Loud and reiterated plaudits followed the speeches
both of Sir J. AsTLEy and Mr. COKE.
The. HIGH SH E R I FF deFerlited.
.from the
charge of partiality, and said;ll: had been his eon_
start endeavour, through the whole of this business,
to aa with the utmost impartiality.
The return was signed in Court; and bent off for
LOndon on:Sunday.

Monday last the Lady of Sir J. C. lirmstiEr,
Bart. was thrown from an open carriage near Whit-
te•hurch;.on the road from Stonecaster to Bristol, and
received several bruises on her head and neck ; but
we. are happy to find she is in a fair way of reco.
