MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

On Saturday, James and John King, and two
well-known Battle-bridgers, were indicted for as-
saulting John Forbes, a street-keeper, of St. Se-
pulchre's, under the following atrocious eireutn4
stances :

On the evening of Friday, the 9th of May, Forbes
saw the two defendants driving a miserably-jaded
horse from Smithfield towards Cow-cross, and dread-
fully beating it with cudgels, the flesh in many places
being cut in strips from the bones, and the animal
bleeding profusely. He interfered, and was thre*•
tened with similar treatment if he did not " cut his
- stick." Oa his further interference, this threat
was put into execution, and Forbes was knocked
down and kicked by the prisoner James King, the
other prisoner belabouring him with hiS stick while
on the ground. Two individuals who ran to his
assistance were similarly treated, and one of them
was bit through the thick of the arm by James, who
swore the most dreadful oaths that he would murder
any one that attempted to take him into custody.
After the' most determined resistance, they were
both locked up in the watch-house.
James King was sentenced to six months' impri-
sonment in the House of Correction and hard labour,
and John to four months.

THE WEATHER AND TILE CROPS.—The
early season of gathering in the northern counties w's
favourable in the extreme, and a great quantity of bay eat
of the abundant crops was secured in capital condition.
In the immediate neighbourhood of most of the principal
towns • of Yorkshire, about two-thirds of the crop Was
gathered before the rain of last week came on ; but ie
country situations that proportion of the grass was the'
either uncut .or ungathered. About the middle of the lot
week the barometer sunk rapidly, and torrents of rain fell
day after day, till the rivers became swollen, and on Sunday
and Mondly last, vast tracts of land, particularly in the
south-east part of this county, extending from Doncaster
to Hull, were inundated; even in the neighbourhood 0(
.
Wakefield the hay was seen floating in the fields ; and nest
Barnsley, a great deal was either washed away'or i.enderea
useless, except for litter. The corn crops have also be
Much beaten down by the heavy rains, spd•potatoes in lots
situations have suffered from the floods. About mid-dsY
on Tuesday (St. Swithin's), a happy change took places
and the weather has since been more favourable. .We are
happy to add, that the injury sustained by the crops, though
considerable, is in general not irretrievable, and that, Dot,
withstanding this unusual watery visitation at Midsummer'
the prospucts of the country, as far as the produceof the sell
is concerned, are still very favourable.—Leeds Mercury.
