SATUIDAy last the Bristol Assizes at the Nisi
Prim! Bar, commenced before Sir. GILES ROOKE. The
most interesting cause was between Messrs. Ames,
Daubeny,,and Cc-. Bankers, Plaintiff's, and Mr. John
Weeks, late of-the:Bush Tavern, Defendant. Mr.
Greafhead, Cashier to 'the Bank, alledged, that on
Sept. ,7, 180 t, Mr. ',Seal, Clerk to Mr. Weeks,
brought-to their Bank zoool. 53. between the. hours
of twelve and one he brought another sum specifying,
it to be in cash and notes 19591. with an order from
Mr. Iyeeks to purchase stock the next day. It
being past 'bank hours, Mr. Greathead observed,
that ftbm the pressure of business by that day's
.post, be should not be able to count it until the
afternoon ; but at the request of Seal, one of. the
Clerks, gave a receipt for the amount. Mr. Great_
head further stated, that he immediately took the
napkin which contained the property, and locked it-
up in tht..- repository, and put the key in his pocket;
that in the afternoon, in the, presence of two or
three of the Clerks, he examined its contents, when
he foUnd the sum to be only 174.51. 135. 61. leaving
a deficieney of z t'jl. 6s. .6d. One of • the Clerks.
also examined.the cash, and found Mr..GrPathead's
statement to be right. The' Judge, without going
any. farther into evidence, said; he
,was convinced
that Mr. Weeks had made a mistake, as he acknOtv_
Jedged that he had 'frequently' had access to. this
property, and given change to Officers who fre_
quented his house ; arid therefore, without giving
any farther trouble, he conceived the fury' must
return a Verdid for the Plaintiffs ; w.hich they ac-
cordingly did.

CUMBERLAND ASSIZES, AVG.. 2.5..

THE number of Gentle:nen, who accompanied
EDWARD HASSELL, Esq. (the Sheriff) to meet the
Judges,. on the Commission day, was greater than
has been known, on suFh an occasion, for many
years past; the escort was, indeed, very..brilliant and
respedful. On the Sunday following, their Lord_
ships, the Sheriff, Council, &c. attended: Divine
Service, at the Cathedral, where a Sermon was
preached by the Rev. FERGUS GRAHAM, M. A.
Retor of Arthuret, from Isaiah, chap: zsth, verses
6th, 7th,. and Bth.
The congregation was splendid and numerous ;
the ailes, as well as the choir, being literally
crowded.

; The business of the Crown End was finished'eu,
Monday.
Henry James, charged with suspicion of felony,
in taking and carrying away a parcel of Promissory,
Notes ; Robert Pneson, charged with suspicion
of felony, in carrying away five parcels of goods.

at Maryport, •was found guilty of manslaughter
sentenced to'pay 'a fine of bs. 84. and, to be impti.
soned i z months. -

Lcrd ELLENB.OROVGH presided at the Crown
Bar. His Lordship's Charge was an admirable
specimen. of elocution, and embraced whatever
was important for the consideration of the CoUrt.
The allusion to the circumstance of. his LOrclship
being a Native of this County, and to the satisfac-
tion he-feltat seeing the Calendar of the Prisoners
exhibit, comparatively, so small a number of crimes,
seemed most sensibly to ailed all present. A very
elegant compliment was paid to the Magistrates :
who were also exhorted, in the most handsome,
and at the same time, in the most earnest man-,
ner,_ to4sersevere in the discharge of their duty,
for the good of Society, and .for the maintenance
of that tranquillity which the Country enjoys at
this time.

His I,!ordship;:before the• close of the Charge,:
adverted to the insufficiency Of the present Courts
of Justice, and the County Gaol ; and strongly re-
commended the subjeft to the consideration of the
Grand Jury.
There were forty-four causes entered for trial
at the Nisi Priur Bar, before the Hon. Sir ALAN
CHAMBR,E ; a greater number than has. been known
for many years past. One of these, in which Mr.
Anthony Watson, of Papcastle; was Plaintiff; and
Mr. Pearson Morrison, of Gilcrux, was' Defendant,
(to set aside a certain Deed of Gift) lasted from
seven o'clock on Tuesday evening,- till one o'clock
the next morning. It was determine& in favour of
the Defendant..

Before Sir
_ALAN CHAMBRE, Knt. in the Nisi
Prix; Court; a cause was tried, in which the P..ev.
Mr. Brown- (nominally for the Minor Canons of
the Cathedral Church of Carlisle) was Plaintiff,
and Mr. Sewell, Defendant, nominally so for Mr.
Sowerby, of London, the Bishop's Lessee. The
Plaintiff claimed the corn tythes of Cummersdale.—
After a long hearing, the jury gave a • verdid, for
the Defendant. It apreared that the tythes had
been paid to the Bishop's Lessee, for more than zoo
years past. •
A cause concerning Tes, claimed by the City of
Carlisle, from the Mail Coaches, -stands aver
some others were put to reference.
The Assizes ended this afternoon._
