UNION-HALL.

A young man of fashionable exterior, named Wright, was
charged with furiously driving a gig, and running over a
Mr. Dewlett and a Mrs. Phillips, the latter of whom re-
ceived such injuries that her life is despaired of.
On Friday evening Mr. Dewlett, Mrs. Phillips, and his
son were crossing the road together near the Greyhound,
at Stockwell, when the defendant came up in a chaise, and
before Mr. Dewlett or Mrs. Phillips had time even to look
round them they were knocked down. The wheels of the
gig passed over the body of the former, and the shafts of
the gig struck the latter on the left side of the face, laid
the cheek open from underneath her eye down to her jaw
bone, which was broken. Both the sufferers were taken up
in a state of insensibility. The prisoner, although shouted
to by several persons, continued his career, until he came
in contact with a chaise cart belonging to a Mr. Cowdoroy,
the grocer, of Blackfriars-road, by which both vehicles
were upset. The defendant was then secured.

Evidence was also given that on the same day the de-
fendant had been observed driving over Southwark-bridge
at a furious rate.

Defendant was not going at a furious rate. He remem-
bered the chaise passing over something in tho road, but
thought at the time that it was either a hillock of dirt or
some stones. He was not aware that he had driven over
any persons until his chaise ran against Mr. Cowderoy's
cart, and he was then told of the accident. He also denied
that he had heard any person's voice desiring him to stop.
A certificate from Guy's Hospital was here produced, stat-
ing the dangerous condition of Mrs.. Phillips, and the Ma-
gistrate, in consequence, refused to accept bail for the de-
fendant's appearance, and he was accordingly sent to Horse-
monger-lane gaol.

NORWICH.-LORD STORMONT AND THE

NORFOLK FARMERS.

We have, in a former publication, given an acoount of
the manner in which Lord Stormont was received at the
Corn Hall, on Saturday last, at Norwich ; but since then
he, or his party, has thought proper to summon before the
Mayor several persons who were in the Hall on that occa-
sion, who were charged with creating a riot, by which Lord
Stormont's life was endangered. Several of the Tory party,
judging we presume from their own practices, Ivere very
active in disseminating reports that the row was occasioned
by bullies, hired and paid for the purpose by the blue and
white party at Norwich, and that the former took no active
part in it. This we deny most positively; it is a foul
calumny raised for party purposes. It was perfectly acci-
dental that Lord Stormont went into the Hall, and it
was certainly not known by any of the blue and white
party that he would do so. Seven respectable persons
have been summoned before the city authorities, and
the witnesses who appeared against them swore to
them all taking part, more or less, in the proceed-
ings. These witnesses all spoke to the Hall resound-
ing with the cries of " No Lord Stormont ;" We
have had enough of Lord Stormont in the House of
Commons ;" "We want no House of Lord, ;. "No
bribery ;" "No Peel ;" "No Wellington ;" "We do not
sell votes here ;" " Turn him out ;" and othrs of a grosser
nature. One of them (Dawson, a police-officer) said the
farmers were the mob ; and that they pressed upon 14.0K1
Stormont till his life was in danger, The Tories are
chagrined that his Lordhip, gllOtiid meet with no better re-
ceptiojit 404 That there is a report that he will leave
Norwich, and, indeed, is already a candidate for Durefrim
and that his brother, the Hon. Mr. Murray is to Ile put in
nomination for the city, with
Mr; Acthor4 Nearlett, but no
IcittMPO coca eithor hl these gentlemen have as yet ap-
peared. Things seem to have taken a turn here in favour
of Reformers; tr.`.l. we really think the Tories dare 414
luribe ; and if so, his Lordship, or any 9fhpy Tory mud;-

Lord Stor-
T, ,ases of the others were adjourned until

them would be withdrawn. The panic in which his Lord-
ship seemed to be is a subject of great merriment here, and
affords us many a laugh over our Christmas hearths.—
