(ratan OUR OWN CORRISPONDINT.)

LANCASTER, THURSDAY, Atm. 17.

James Shorrocks, 23, two indictments against him,
Alexander Norris, 17, John Orrell, 25, Thomas Emmet,
22, /Wary Hindle, 27,and Betty Howarth, 17 , were charged
with riotously assembling, and destroying 100 power
looms, in the factory of Messrs. William and Ralph Tur-
ner, in the parish of Bury.
The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty but recommend-
ed Norris and Orrell to mercy, on the ground that they had
not committed any violence.—Sentence deferred.
The damage ddne in this instance, amounted to 1,651/.

Ilfark Coekerhill, 29, Richard Rawsthorne, 20, John
Holt, 20, George Ashworth, 21, Betty Cunlig; 25, Joseph
Clayton, 29, John Hoyle, 27, and Richard Tattersall, 30,
were charged with rioting and breaking fifty-one looms,
in the factory of Messrs. Robert and John Munn.

The Jury found Betty Cuulitf, Joseph Clayton, and
John Hoyle, Guilty, and acquitted the remainder.

Mark Cockerhill, Ann Ingham, Lawrence Hardman,
Thomas Emmett, Jonah Baldwin, Richard Tattersall, and
George Ashworth, were charged with rioting and breaking
machinery in the factory of Mr. Ormrod, of New Church.
The Jury found the first five Guilty, and acquitted
Tattersall and Ashworth ; they recommended Ann Ing-
ham to mercy, on account of her being in an advanced
state of pregnancy. Baldwin was also recommended to
mercy.,

Symtoma of the blue devils were visible this morning.
The difference was truly astonishing; Harlequin with his
majical wand could not have produced a greater metamor-
phosis—from all life and bustle we are completely" chop
fallen,"—long faces, and "pockets to let, unfuniiiififed."—
The interest is in a great measure lost. It is said you
must "strike the iron while it is hot" to raise sparks, and
a few are raised here. The ladies go in " leading strings."
Mr. Wakefield has so frightened the dear creatures, that
thy can go nowhere without a procheinamie—there is no
stealing a kiss, or heaving a pensive sigh, but papa and
mamma are on the qui ave. The greatest curiosity here is
the Gretna Green parson, he waddles like a duck on a
frosty morning. He loves, lam told, "a wee drap." He
is what you may call a regular out and outer,"—and unless
folk belie his reverence, he geti. " half seas over," three
times a day—he says :-
4, The cock may crow, the day may daw,
But I will taste the barley bree."
Many persons, for the purpose of some conversation, invite
him to their lodgings to have a tete-a-tote with this riveter
of hearts. The Courts this day were but thinly attended.
There was not the least interest on either side. The cases
of the rioters have occupied the Court three days, and
most of them are found guilty. Saturday is now said to be
the day fixed for the trial of Wm. Wakefield; but I un-
derstand Monday is the day absolutely appointed. It has
been whispered that Edward Gibbon Wakefield will sur-
render and take his trial, to save expences; but all is mere
conjecture. Great numbers of the Bar have made their
exit. The expences attending Wakefield's business must
have been immense. The Northern Circuit, although it
promised to be the most important of any of the Circuits,
has been the least productive to the " wigs." A vast
number of the causes having been withdrawn and unde-
fended, it has been " much ado about nothing." The most
novel amusement here is the serenadings of the Sheriff's
trumpeters, who play well on the key trumpets. The
halbert-men before their Lordships" march in good order,"
while the little urchins run to have a peep at my " Lud
Judg," when lie goes and returns from the Castle.
The tune this morning was " Home, sweet home !"
very apropos for those who have )not seen the cockneys`
land-mark, St. Paul's, so long. If it were not for the As-
sizes, Lancaster would be like a solitary fly in Hyde-park,
by itself !

Miss Turner seldom makes her appearance : she ap-
pears, as the Poet says—

" Born to blush unseen."

I have seen her once, as I was looking over the para-
pets of the Castle--
"Like Proserpine, gathering flowers !
Herself a fairer flower !"
Let-har.now take care. - We hope her ex lover may not
prove a Pluto, but wing her way to Paradise !
A curious circumstance took place on Monday last.
After Edward Gibbon Wakefield had been admitted to
bail, on coming out of Court, he met Miss Turner in the
corridor, where they both regarded each other—
" With looks half coy, half won."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tms DAY.)
MAWMAN V. TIGO.

His Lottustur desired to intimate to the parties concerned in
this case, that he would give judgment in it ou Monday morning.

EDWARDS V. HOGOARD.
Mr. &whew moved, ex-parte, for an injunction to stay trial.
The motion was made on the part of the plaintiff; who had made
an affidavit to support it, stating, that the defendant had appeared
to the bill, but that he had not put in his answer to it ; that an
action had been commenced at law by the defendant, upon which
the plaintiff did not feel that he could proceed safely to trial until
the defendant's answer to the bill Caine in, but that then he anti-
cipated making a good defence, and, therefore, he moved to stay
the trial until the answer was put in.—lnjunction granted.
LONDON DOCK COMPANY.
RODDINGTON v. TROWER AND OTHERS.
Mr. SKIRROW obtained, a few days ago, leave to give notice of
a motion for to-day, in this case, in which the Treasurer of the
London Dock Company was the plaintiff, and 'liners. Trower
and Lawson, for whom he appeared, with others, were the de-
fendants. The notice of motion was, that his clients might be at
liberty to proceed to trial at the sittings before Michaelmas Term
next, upon the action already commenced by his clients against
the plaintiff in equity. The bill was an interpleading bill, which
prayed that all the defendants might be restrained front com-
mencing or proceeding with any answer against the plaintiff, and
the Learned Counsel thought the best course for him to take
would be to state the facts of the case, as they appeared on the face
of the bill, and then his opinion was, that he should have no diffi-
culty in satisfying the Court, that the action already commenced
would be the best mode of trying the question in the cause.
Mr. Hata said, he was on the other side, and probably be
mightgave Mr. Skirrow the necessity of going on. The Vice
Chanellor had directed an action to be brought, and that some of
the parties, for whom Mr. Horne appeared, should attend that trial;
he, however, restrained the action against the plaintiff that bad been
commenced, upon a statement that he was only a stake-holder; if
Mr. Skirrow ehose, he (Mr. H.) had no objection to that order
being discharged, provided the injunction was continued.
Mr. Hating recollected that be had appeared for some of the
parties, but on this occasion he had not been supplied with any
brief.

Mr. SICIRROW said Monday would do perfectly ; but it would
be very bard on his clients,
if because Counsel kept away, it
should then be said, the case could not be heard.
Mr. Hoene considered it as hard on him, that Counsel should
keep back a notice of motion to the very last day of sitting, and
then expect it to be met,

- . . POLICE INTELLIGENCE..
ISIANSION-HOUSE.—(Tsts DAY.) -
Mary Campbell, a married woman, was brought before the
LORD MAYOR, on a charge of having robbed a tradesman named
Hubbard, residing at Wapping.
The prosecutor stated that about eleven o'clock last night, hav-
ing been at the West End of the Town, he was returning down
Holborn, when he met with the prisoner, who raid she
was extremely thirsty ; and he went with her to a
public-house in Smithfield. There he paid for the por-
ter which they drank together, and pulled out his purse
for that purpose,
when she suddenly introduced her hand into his pocket and took
They were walking down Fenchurch-street,
out his purse, with which she made off. He pursued her, and
gave her in. custody to an officer, to whom she gave up the
purse, which contained seven sovereigns and some silver.—The
watchman to whom she gave it up was not here.
The prisoner said, she had gone to see a single woman home.
The prisoner set up a terrible outcry against this statement,
said she was a virtuous woman, that she Lad never set eyes upon
the prosecutor before he suddenly seized her as she was taking a
walk in the streets, and charged her with having stolen his purse.
She had neither walked, nor talked, nor drank with him.
The LORD MAYOR---What does a virtuous married woman do
walking in the streets alone at twelve o'clock at night.
The prisoner's husband, a comparatively shabby looking fellow,
here came forward, and said that his wife was a virtuous woman,
and he was convinced that there was not one word of truth in
what this man chose to say of her.
The Loan MAYOR examined the husband as to his mode of
iving. He admitted that he was now in no business; they had
arrived in town about six weeks; they came from the North of
Ireland.

The LORD illavoa asked the prosecutor whether he was sober
et the time?

The Prosecutor...-Why,
my Lord, I had had one glass.
The LORD IiATORAye, and the contents of many mores—
You are a bad fellow, or you would not have gone into the com-
pany of lewd women. His Lordship said the case for the prose-
cution was perfectly clear. He expressed his doubts whether the
husband was not aware of his wife's conduct.
His Lordship remanded the prisoner that the watchman who
received the purse might be brought forward.
Thomas Challis, an elderly and respectable looking man, was
brought up on a charge of stealing several pieces of ribbon.
The prisoner, it was stated, went this morning into the shop of
Mr. Tickel, a haberdasher in Aldgate, and looked out about thirty
Piece* of ribbon. The shopman observed him put several in his
pocket. He said he should call again as he came back, and pay
for them, as he had some more purchases to make at another place.
The shopman followed him and brought him back.
The ribbon was found upon him, but he had no money.
It appeared that he was an old tradesman who had fallen into
decay, and had been supported by pittances from his friends.
When questioned as to his
.former condition, he burst into tears,
and could make no answer.

His LORDSHIP, who seemed touched with compassion at his
'cue, remanded him, to allow him time to give notice to his
friends of his condition.

BOW-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
A new informer, a tall, Dan Quizotte sort of character, named
Compton, preferred au information against Mr. Wyat, the owner
of one of the Marlow coaches, for carrying luggage on the roof
when he had the full number of passengers.
The informer, it appeared, had been engaged as a musician
by a gentleman at or near Marlow; he had, with his harp,
travelled by the above coach. The coachman had charged
him nothing for the carriage of his harp on the roof, (which
formed the present ground of complaint), and he gratefully repaid
his kindness, by laying this information.
Mr. Mtwsnum. remarked, that the information was not laid
correctly, as it did not state some necessary particulars, but he
could now amend it, if he thought proper.
lie replied that it was " his first attempt," and said hr had no
objection to settle it, if he was allowed his expences, if the Magis-
trate would give his sanction.

Mr. Alin;utst.s. said he had no objection to such an arrange-
ment, and they left the office for that purpose.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—(Tuts DAT.)
Ann Arnold, a wretched-looking woman, of about 60, was
charged by Mr. Charles Smith, No. 208, Piccadilly, with making
a disturbance and raising a mob at his house last night. He
stated that she was a distant relation to him, and was perpetually
annoying hint and other respectable branches of the family.—
He had done every thing in his power to settle her comfortably in
the country, but to no purpose. She constantly got rid of every
thing, and returned to town. It was very hurtful to his feelings,
to make such a complaint ; bnt he was willing to make any ar-
rangement to make her comfortable, providing she would cease her
abuse and annoyance.
Mr. aria remarked, that he could do nothing but bold her to
bail, 4nd asked her how she could justify herself for such miscue.
duet ? She replied, that when she went to complainant's house
she had no intention of making soy disturbance, and promised to
keep front his house in future.
One of the Beadles stated, that she had been in his custody
several times within the last twelve months on the same charge.
She was ultimately ordered to find bail.

Mary M' Gree, a girl of about 10 years of age, was brought
up by a watchman, who stated that he found her crying in the
street, when she told him that she bad no home, and her parents
had been dead five months, and he took her to the watch•house,
suspecting her to have absconded from her friends. He now,
however, stated that her mother was waiting outside the office.
Mr. Dvaa ordered her to be called and she presented herself in
the person of a plump little Irish woman, with a snub nose, a
freckled skin, a mild blue eye, and with a truly pathetic flow of
Hibernian eloquence, she began her " tale of woe." " Her bus-
bond, she said, was lying on a sick bed, the consequence of over
exertion, to support herself and three children. She had sent the
child at-the bar out yesterday, with a well stocked basket of fruit,
to try and " turn a penny," but she had lost both basket and fruit,
and she added, with the tears trickling down her sun-burnt
cheeks, " I have but two-pence in ass custody, to get bread for
me babes. and me poor husband."
_ _

Mr. DYER inquired the value of the basket, which she an-
swered was Is. 2d. He then desired that she would not treat the
child severely when discharged, and told her that she should not
lose her basket. On this intimation, her countenance brightened.
" As its yer Honour's self that said so we will not bale her."

Mr. Eirsa then, with his usual humanity, gave her the value
of the basket, and on leaving the office, sbe dropped ten curtsies,
and ten times as many Irish blessings.
QUEEN-SQUARE..--(Tuts DAT.)
CAUTION TO WATERMIN.—Richard Bridge, a Waterman at
Chelsea, appeared before the sitting Magistrate, to answer the
complaint of Monsieur John Mauduit, a French gentleman, resid-
ing at No. 4, Caroline-place, Fulham.
The complainant stated that on Sunday afternoon he hired a
boat, on China-row, Chelsea. In the corukauy were three ladies.
After they had rowed for an hour, on coning to the stairs, the
defleidant made use of the most gross language to them, and de-
clared that they had ran foul of his boat, and done it considerable
injury.
The defendant in attempting to justify himself, admitted the fact,
and said it was done at the irritation of the moment. The ac-
cused, however, on making au ample apology to Monsieur Mau-
duit, no penalty was inflicted on him, and he was discharged, after
a suitable admonition, upon payment of the colts.
