MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. I.

The Middlesex Adjourned Sessions commenced yester-
day, before W. H. MARRIOTT, Esq., the new Chairman,
and a Bench of Magistrates.

WILLIAM STANTON V. ST. PANCRAS PARISH.

This was an action against a rate made by the above
parish, the appellant contending that the premises occupied
by him were not rateable.
Mr. ALLEY stated that this question had been tried
three or four times, and it had been hoped that the re-
spondents would have let the matter drop. The property
in question was a cottage and wharf on the Canal in the
Regent's Park, and were vested in the Commissioners of
Woods and Forests, and being therefore the property of
the Crown, were not rateable.

Mr. ADOLPHUS said this matter was one of great im-
portince and little doubt. The point was, whether the
parish had not a right to levy rates on the appellant as one
deriving benefit from a house in the parish, whether it
were on the property of the Woods and Forests or not.
The house he inhabited was a benefit to him, and bis
weekly wages were less in consideration of this advantage
than they would otherwise be.—Order confirmed.

The only other cane worth notice was an appeal by Wil-
liam Johnson against an order of affiliation made upon
him, as the alleged father of a female child. Some mer-
riment was excited in the early part of the case : there
happened to be another man of the name of Johnson down
on the orders as the reputed father of a male child. This
order was handed up to the Chairman, who was about to
dismiss the case of William Johnson and the female child,
as being a false description of the sex of the child, stated
by Mr. Alley, in the outset of his case, to be a female.
However, this mistake, after exciting great laughter, was
cleared up, and the case proceeded.
Mr. ALLEY called the mother of the child, Mary Richards,
who stated that some time ago she had a child ; the father
of it was William Johnson.

Cross-examined by Mr. Bonxix—Would solemnly swear
that Johnson was the father of the child ; she never had
had intercourse with other men ; she had been acquainted
with Johnson three years ; is acquainted with a man of
the name of Milton, but only as a common friend ; never
kept company with him ; has never stated that Milton was
the father of the child.

By Mr. ALLEY—Saw Johnson about a month ago ; he
asked her to get him off if she could ; before the child was
born Johnson offered her 201. if she would father it upon
some one else ; she is now married ; her husband is at sea.
William Brown—ls uncle to Mary Reed, now Richards;
remembers that in December last Johnson came to his
house, and told witness that he had seen Mary's room,
which he liked, and promised to make Brown some re-
muneration for taking care of Mary, saying he wished
he had known Mary's child was his before ; if he had
he would have married her; witness told him he ought
to remedy the disgrace to her and her family. It was
a very serious thing.

CrOss.examineilt was in December last or Decem.
ber twelve-month, he thinks. Perhaps it might not have
been December at all, but it was on a Saturday night ;
cannot tell exactly when the child was born, but to the
best of his belief it was a twelve-month ago, or about.
Mr. BODKIN, for the appellant, called

Joseph Milton, who has been acquainted with Mary
Reed for some time. In 1830 was frequently in her com-
pany. She in the course of the year sent for him, and
told him she was in the family way, and by him. He
charged her with keeping company with Johnson, which
she denied. Subsequently, at her desire, he went to her
grandfather, who said, " Curse it, Joe, this is a bad bu-
siness; but come, we must mend matters—you must
marry the girl." Witness would not consent, having his
brothers and sisters to
.maintain, and being besides very
considerably in doubt as to the platonicism of his fair
one's intimacy with Mr. Johnson. Johnson is a tea-
dealer.

Thomas Dennison said Mary Reed had come to lodge
in his house. She was with child, and told witness that
it was Milton's, and nobody else's.
Elizabeth Dennison confirmed the account given by
her husband, adding, that shortly after Mary left their
house, she called in to beg witness to convey to Milton'
" the glad tidings" that she could now swear the child to
Johnson.—Order confirmed.

NEWMARKET.—Some recent transactions at
Newmarket have so disgusted some of the most distin-
guished patrons of the Turf, that many intend retiring
from it altogether. We hear dissatisfaction expressed on
all sides at the system lately adopted, and the necessity
urged that some regulation should be formed to exclude
objectionable persons from too close a contact ¶ith those
who seek the turf as an amusement, and not as a specula-

Roux, journeyman cutler of Cahors, in the
Dordogne, in France, aged 26, and a young woman of
20, named ANDISSAC, having formed an attachment for
each other, but, being prevented marrying by the opposi-
tion of their parents, met by appointment on the evening
of the 17th instant, on the road to Larroque, with the
intention of putting an end to their existence. The young
woman first stabbed herself with a pen-knife, and Roux
afterwards gave her two deeper wounda, from which she
expired immediately. He then plunged the knife into his
own breast, but not with the same effect, for he was found
alive, and it is believed that he may recover.
A large vegetable, calcareous, and stony con-
cretion was brought to our office on Wednesday, which
had heen taken out of the stomach of a waggon horse, the
property of Messrs. WOR,TER, STUBBS, and BLAND, by
Mr.
Lc:olio, farrier, of this town. The animal died ap-
parently of inflammation of the lungs. The ball retained
the rough internal shape of the stomach externally, and
measured 20 inches in circumference, and weighed five
pounds one ounce.—Northampton Mercury.
DWARFS.—The rage for possessing dwarfs
was at one time so strong among the great, especially at
the period of the commencement of the Roman Empire,
that merchants conceived the terrible idea of producing
'him artificially by means of boxes and bandages. Dwarfs
are in general very irritable and turbulent. A lady at
the Court of STANISLAUS one day caressed her dog before
BEBE, the favourite dwarf of STANISLAUS, Duke of Lor-
raine ; the latter furiously snatched the dog from her lap
and threw him ou tof the window, crying out, "Why should
you love him better than me?"
ROSCOE'S SPANISH NOVELISTS.—" The
Spanish Noveli,t gives you rogues, and assassins, and
faithless mistresses, and gouty husbands, and fiery cava-
lieu s, and plump landlords, and rosy abigails, and a whole
canvass full of flattering ribands, and round hats, and
swteping mantillas, and masked eyes, and stage cloaks ;
and thee: men, and women, and things, move before you
in a pageant that dazzles by the multiplicity of its figure!,
the cleverness of its design, the constant bustle of its
actors, and, above all, the showers of wit and sense that
come down amidst all like diamond drops, as small and as
precious. These are the distinctive traits of the Spanish
novel ; and they are not less remarkable in the taxes with
which Mr. RoscoE has here furnished u.."—Atlas.

SINGULAR CHALLENGE......A. farmer in the
Upper Ward of Lanarkshire challenges " a' braid Scot.
land" to pro'luce three brothers whose united lengths shall
equal that of his three sons, 18 feet 4 inches, to compete
with them in the three following agricultural arts
Ploughing, reaping, and stacking; and also in the three
following manly and rational games—Curling, quoits, and
d raugh ts. —Edinburgh Observer. _

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—At an early hour
yesterday morning OAKLEY, an inspector, and PaLatEtt,
serjeant of the E division, received information that Mr.
W. BENNETT, a mining agent, of Lincoln Horne, Corn-
wall, had been robbed of 6001. and his clothe., at a o°'
torinus place called Rat's Castle, in St. Giles's. On go.
ing there they found Mr. BENNETT pacing the room, with
nothing on but his shirt, in a state bordering on madnegs9
and declaring " I anigivined ;oh ! I am ruined." They
provided him with clothes and got him to the station-
house, where he said that he arrived in London on Wed'
nesday night, from Cornwall, in order to transact some
business with one of the Companies in the City. He took $
glass too much with some friends at a Cornwall Tavern,
and he was returning to the place where be had engaged

Castle gave information of the robbery, and a description
of the girls—one of whom is named GOODRICH, and was
formerly a dancer at a minor theatre—to the officers,but
they have not as yet been able to discover any clue to the
property. Mr. BENNETT, who is a married man with a
large family, was yesterday in a profound state of melan-
choly, and a strict watch was kept over him lest be aboald
