SUSSEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS.

At these sessions, which took place on Wednesday at the
County Hall, Lewes, four men, who were concerned in a
riot at Willingdon, near Eastbourne, were tried and found
guilty. As some mis-statments respecting these riots have
gone through the London papers, we subjoin an outline of
the proceedings.

It
appeared from the evidence of Mr. Henry Hurst, who
had been chosen relieving officer for the district of Willing-
don, that on Saturday, the 9th of May, he attended at the
National School, at Willingdon, for the purpose of re-
lieving the paupers. Contrary to the usual custom, about
twenty-six of the surplus labourers entered the room for the
purpose of receiving relief. They were told that they must
come in one at a time. Upon this they withdrew, and
Climpson (one of the prisoners) afterwards came in alone,
and demanded 18s. for the week's relief: Mr. Hurst told
him his relief was 12s. Climpson said he dared not take
it, but subsequently requested that the an:ount might be
put down upon a piece of paper. The information was
conveyed by Climpson to the paupers assembled outside,
who became very dissatisfied, and positively refused to ac-
cept the relief proffered to them. Mr. Hurst, finding that
they continued obstinate, left the school, and on going
through a passage he was hustled by the mob, and ulti-
niatei:, pat it:to a hand-cart, and drawn about half a mile
by the mob out of the parish, when he was 41104 A ed to pursu3
his way home without further molestation.

The counsel for the prisoners, Mr. COBBETT, attempted
to show that no riot had been committed, and that it was
merely an affray occasioned by the spur of the moment.
The paupers had found their relief suddenly reduced, and
it was no wonder that there should have been a little
grumbling. He called three witnesses to prove that Mr.
Hurst was not forced into the cart against his will, but that
he got in with his own free will, and treated the matter
jocosely.

The Court was of opinion that a riot had been committed,
and the Jury, without hesitation, found them Guilty.
Sentence was passed yesterday (Thursday) morning. Six
months imprisonment to hard labour, and each to enter into
recognizances of 20/. to keep the peace for two years.

OLD SERVANTS.—A Horncastle farmer has at
present two servants, one of whom has lived with him 32 and
the other 45 years.

STATE OF CROPS.—Throughout the southern
part of the West Riding of York the crops present a most
luxuriant appearance. The young wheat is strong and healthy,
and though it has in many places suffered from the recent
frosts, yet it appears to be fast recovering from the attack. In
Derbyshire also, and in the south and cast of Staffordshire,
vegetation has assumed a similar aspect, and there is every
reason to hope for a very fair average, if not an abundant har-
vest. The fruit trees in the north not being so forward as
those in the more southern districts, have not suffered so much
by the cold and wintry nights of last month.
HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE.—A few days ago, a
woman applied for admission into several houses on the
Galway road ; she stated that she was upon the point
of being delivered of a child, but admittance was refused.
The next morning a new-born child was found near the place,
with its head eaten oft it is supposed by pigs. The woman,
supposed to be the mother, has not been heard of since. The
child was taken up by the police at Aughlaghleen, and retained
until a coroner's inquest was held.— Galway Paper.
