FORFEITURE OF RECOGNIZANCES.

Stit-Having on the 17th inst. made you acquainted
with the usual condition entered into by u defendant, on
being admitted' to bail by a Court of King's Bench, which
I have since learnt was the condition of the recognizance
entered into by Mr. W. Wakefield, himself in 2,000/,
Mr. Cuthbert in 1,500/, and a subsequent recognizance of
Dr.•Davir in 5001.; and us the course of practice in eon-
'sequence of the defendant not appearing to take his trial
at the Assizes, does not appear to be sufficiently 'under-
stood, it may not be uninteresting to your readers to
know, that all recognizanees forfeited 'at the Summer As-
sizes are usually returned by the Clerk of the Assize into
the Court of Exchequer, in the Michaelmas Tern: follow-
ing ; and on the Seal Day after • the next Hilary Term,
process will issue to the Sheriff to levy the amount of the
recognizance on the principal and bail: if the levy is not
made, and it appears so by the return of the Sheriff in
the following term, a writ, called the " strong writ," will
then issue to seize the goods and take the defendant and.
Lail to gaol ; nor can they be discharged out of custody',
but on production of the writ of libera e prisone, issued,
from the Lord Treasurer's Remembraucer's Office, by
order of the Court of Exchequer.
In the mean time, the defendant may be retaken upon
a Judge's warrant, which is bailable before a .fudge or
Magistrate, and it is the invariable practice (Difhough not
expilsted in the Judge's warrant) to require the defendant
to give the prosecutor reasonable notice of bail; and the
condition of the recognizance must then hi, to appear and
plead and try his traverse at the next assizes, in such sum
as any Judge or Magistrate may think fit, under the eir•
ctnstanees, to direct. In the event of the defendant not
being taken, the prosecutor may proceed to outlawry
against the defendant at the assize, or in the Court of
King's Bench, if the prosecutor chooses to remove the
indictment into that Court by writ of certiorari, which is
frequently done to expedite its completion ; bot even in
the Court of, King's Bench the outlawry cannot be coast.
pleted for a considerable time, as the following writs from
the Crown-office must be issued, viz, a venire to answer,
tested in Michaelmas next, and returnable in Hilary, 1827;
the first eapias-tested in Hilary Term, returnable in Rsester
1827; 2d capias tested in Easter, returnable in Trinity,
1827; the 3d:copiaz tested in Trinity, returnable in Mi-
chaelmas, :18271 and then writs of minas cum proclama-
tione et exigent, between the. test, and return of which two
last writs, there must be five County Courts. •

On a large cement-stone, which was brought last
week from the Isle of Sheppey to Clayton's Cement
Manufactory, at Shoreham, being broken, on Mon-
day week, a live oyster, of an immense size, eras dis-
covered in the centre live eel, of two pounds'
weight, was also found in a similar stone at the same
manufactory, a few weeks ago.—Northampton Mer-
cury.

A short time since, as some workmen were digging
a well in St. James's parish, Shaftesbury, they dis-
covered (after cutting through a stratum of solid rock,
eight feet thick), in a bed of sand, an instrument re-
sembling a paddle, made of British oak, and in the
best state of preservation. A crust of spongy wood
covered it. It is 4 feet long, 31 feet in the han-
dle, and of the rudest workmanship.---Northampton
Mercury.
