ASSIZES-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

OXFORD CIRCUIT._OXFORD, JULY 18.
Contrary to the expectations we had entertained, from
the information we had received, the business here turn,
out unusually light. It is a very curious fact, that frost
the immense high price of straw, the street in front of the
Town Hall is strewed literally with dung instead of clears
straw, as we kave uniformly seen it at former Assize..
At Abingdon, from the same cause, the streets were
strewed with green sward.

SMALLBONE V. UNDERWOOD.

This was an action of assumpeit, to recover a compensa-
tion for the non-performance of a contract to make " a full.
fair, and perfect map " of Blenheim, the estate of the Duke
of Marlborough.

Mr. Jattvi; and Mr. CHILTON appeared for the PJaintitf.
Mr. TAUNTON and Mr. TALFORD were for the de-
fendant.

• The gist of the case was as follows :—About five years
ago, when the estate of the. Duke of Marlborough became
encumbered, it was contemplated to let out certain portion;
of the park to different farmers.- In order to arrange
these allotments, it was of course necessary to have a
.perfget plan of the whole, to demark the parts let to
different persons. A correct map was made on thick canvas
paper, and the contract was to make a copy of this un.
der the denomination of " a fair, full, and perfect
map." The map furnished was traced upon tissue paper. It
was produced in Court, and 601. were paid for it, ac-
cording to the contract. The delineation of the beautiful
locus in quo as most extensive, aced occupied about 54
furnished ought not to have been upon tissue
feet square. 'On the part of the plaintiff, it was contended
thatr dpaper,

the evidence, Mr, Tamarron inquired
how a particular witness distinguished between plantation
and feill-grown timber.
' Mr. Baron VAUGHAN observed, that the difference was
obvious. There was a vast distinction between ntany a
the saplings who went this circuit, and the old oak who
put the question.

IMPORTANT ALTERATION IN THE CRI-

MINAL LAW.

(THE POLLOWINC IS A MORE ENLARGED ABSTRACT THAN
PREVIOUSLY APPEARED IN OUR PAPER.)
By an • Act of Parliament which received the
Royal Assent on the 27th of June, and which came
into operation on the Ist inst., most important alte-
rations have been made in that part of the Criminal
Law which relates to offences against the person.
The Ist clause or preamble, after stating that it is ne-
cessary to amend and consolidate the law respecting
offences against the person, goes on to repeal wholly, or
in part, nearly 60 Acts of Parliament; such repeal to take
place on the Ist of July, when the present Act conies in
force.

The 2d clause annuls the old distinction between petit
treason and murder.

The 3d renders accessories to murder, before the fact;
equally guilty with the principals; and, by the 4th, this
ancient custom of hanging murderers on the next day bur
one after sentence is directed to be retained, anti the bodies
either hung in chains, or given for dissection. If in Mid-
dlesex, the sth clause directs the bodies shalt be given to
the Surgeons' Company.
The 6th directs that persons convicted of murder shall
be kept apart and fed on bread . and water only, except in
cases of sickness, and that no pereon shall have access tn,
them; except the gaoler and his servants, and the chaplain
and surgeon of the prison, without the permission in
writing of the Court, or Judge before whom the convict
was tried, or of the Sheriff or his Deputy In. ease ot'
respite, the Judge has the power also of relaxing these re-
gulations.
The 7th enacts, that British subjects guilty of murder
abroad, whether in the King's dominions, or not, shall be
liable to be tried in this country by a special commission
to.be appeintiod.for the purpose. If a peer of the realm,
the accused to be tried by his peers as heretofore.
" 'The Bth 'clause directs that where persons shall die 11l
this country of hurts or poison given to them on the seas,
the offender shall be tried in the county where such party
died.

The 9th and 10th clauses continue the old law as to
manslaughter and justifiable homicide.

The 11th and 12th declare all attempts to murder,
whether by poisoning, drowning, suffocating, stranglirw,
or pulling a. trigger with intent to shoot, to be capital fe-
lonies.

The 13th makes the administering poison or other
noxious thing to a pregnant woman, if quick with child, a
capital felony; and if not quick, a crime punishable with
14 years' transportation.

The 14th 'makes it a misdemeanour for a woman to se-
crete the dead body of her child, for the purpose of con-
cealing of its birth.

The 15th and 16th re-enact the 41 law.
The 17th makes the carnal knowledge of a girl under the
age Of ten years, even with consent, a capital felony. IC
the girl be above the age of ten, and under twelve, it is c
misdemeanour.

The 18th makes a most important alteration as to the
proof required in cases of rape, and of a more revolting
crime. The painful indelicate test before required to be
sworn to by the female is abolished, and the fact of in-
ternal injury done to her person to be received as a suffi-
cient proof.
The 19th and 20th relate to abduction.—lf forcible and
against the woman's will, and for the purpose by marriage.
of getting possession of her fortune, it is a felony punish-.
able with transportation for life. If not forcible, but
against the consent of parents or guardians, and the girl
be under sixteen years of age, it is a niisdemeanour, pu-
nishable with fine or imprisonment, at the discretion of the
Court.

The 21st makes child stealing a felony, punishable with
seven years' transportation.

The 22d relates to bigamy, and continues use old law,
but excepts from its operation any person marrying a
second time whose husband or wife shall have been conti
finally absent from such person for seven !;ears, and shall
not have been known by such person tr.. be living withi❑
that 'time.
The 23d makes the arresting a cle•egyman on civil process
during Divine Service a misdenwmour.
The 24th makes the assaulting officers employed in as-
sisting a vessel in distress, or ;.o the protection of stranded
goods, a crime punishable With transportation for seven
years. _ _

The 25th and 26th declare that persons guilty of as-
saults on peace officers, or to prevent the apprehension of
offenders, or with intent to commit a felony, or in pur-
suance of a conspiracy Jo raise wages, shall be liable to hard
labour in addition to imprisonment on conviction.
fhe 27th clause completely alters the law as to common
assaults, by giving a discretionary power to any two Ma-
gistrates of adjudicating. It declares that whereas it is
expedient that a summary power of punishing persons for
commont
:d, that assaults

determine such offence, and the offender, upon convictive;

after the conviction, or within such period as the Justices
shall appoint, it shall be lawful for them to commit the
offender to the common gaol or house of correction for any
term not receding two calendar months, unless such fine
he sooner paid. But it the Justices shall deem the offence

certificate under their hands, stating the fact of such dis-
missal, and shall deliver such certificate
to the party against

The 2Stlt clause declares,that where the t plained of either suffers the

case for prosecution by indictment, it shall be remitted to

The Magistrates are further prohibited from determin-
ing any case of assault in which any question as to the
title to any lands, &c. shall arise, or as to any bank-
ruptcy, or any execution under the process of any Court
of Justice.

The 30th makes it a misdemeanour for the master of a
vessel to force a seaman on shore at a foreign part, or to
refuse to bring him home.

The rernahl'ing clauses set forth a form of summary con-
viction, and limit the time for proceeding upon the sum-
mary conviction clause to three months after the commi,,
>ion of the offence. No conviction to he quashed for
want of form, or moved by certiorat i into the superior
Courts of Record.

gratification which they will derive from the un-
doubted proofs there alleged of its improving
state, as from the insight they will procure of
the beneficial effects of throwing open trade
generally, or at least of advancing with as much
rapidity as possible to that crisis when prohibi-
tory duties shall be abolished, and British manu-
facturers shall seek no other protection than their
own skill and spirit. By the admission •"of fo-
reign silks, the British manufacture was to be
ruined entirely ! The national debt ;—the un-
avoidable high price of wages :—it is impossible
to enumerate how many boobies repeated these
words in endless chime, thinking, in their muddy
intellects, that they thereby disproved the ability
of British manufacturers, with their capitals, to
compete with foreigners, who, as they said, were
less taxed, and had provisions cheaper. The
truth is, that it is only by throwing open
commerce, and particularly the commerce in
corn, that the national debt can, be reduced.
Throwsted and manufactured silk, which was
originally prohibited, has been admitted on a
duty (which we hope still to see diminished),
and the throwsting and manufacturing of silk in
this country has increased in consequence, and
is now increasing every year. The year 1825,
on account of the insecurity and distrust which it
will be recollected prevailed in all mercantile
transactions, greatly-affected-the silk trade in the
ensuing year ; but the year 1827, when the ad-
mission of the.foreign article had begun to be
in full operation; did more than make good the
deficiency of the preceding year, as we, during
this last year, manufactured of raw material into
silk stuffs more by 300,0001bs.than We had, ever
been known to manufacture befgrea and the
current year the return promises to, rise one
figure higher in the scale of. millions,--namelY,
from three to four. Let but thee duty be relaxed
mill further, so that our manufacturers shall have
nothing to fear from smuggling, and they have
no fear of continuing to advance in active em-
ployment.— Times.
Mr. Huskisson entered last night on the sub-
ject of the American Tariff, which he. very justly
viewed as pregnant with injury to the interests of
the United States. That the diminution of ex-,
ports from England will diminish the Iniportaa,
lion of Cotton from America, and produce dis-!
tress in , that country, is beyond a doubt. Mr.'
Huskisson said, " he believed that this Tariff
owed its existence less to the opinion. that it
would promote national objects, than elec-
tioneering purposes. It was -not a matter of
surprise that party .should. prevail, in . a ,COUlltry.
where the supreme executive power- was. ,an
object of competition not twice in
once every four yeara:- fHe„obser,veer,. 'that the*
measures were . generally: bronghta,fOrWerd at tlei
period of these elections, With reference to the
excitement of the people." • There is a great deal
of looseness in this Janguage. If the Ametican
people are excited by. the. proposition of these
measures, the American, people: must suppose
that these measures will be beneficial to them--;
that is, the American people 'are in ignorance,:
with respect to their true interests. - If the.
American people knew their . true interests, then
proposition of such measures, so' from being.
favourably received, would subject the proposers
to disapprobation. The people must believe,
then, that the Tariff will pro Mete national
objects. What has, then, the Election of a
President or electioneering to do with the ques-
tion ? The House of Lords in this eauntry are
exempted from these horrible evils of America ;:
and yet we see they are as. ignorant
,as the!
American people on this subject, adopting the
principles of the Tariff, and giving effect to them!
as fur as they can. The difference is merelY',
this i in America the people adopt a measure,,
conceiving it to be for the interest t)f the whole
people, which it. is not—the House of hordsi
adopt a measure, believing it to• be' contrary to'
the interests of the people, but for their .
In America the ,power is in the people—in
England it is in the Lords. . Both abuse it, be-
cause both are ignorant--the remedy in America,
is knowledge, because a whole people cannot':
have an interest separate from itself,
,What the.
remedy would be in 'England it is not so easy to
say.—Morning Chronicle.' •
It bas been observed, that the whole of the.

which an ,expression, OtWay Cave. gave,
rise, way perfectly uncalled kir,' and 'could not
have taken place aniong:, men trained' to 'reason

properly considered to indicate the extreme of
baseness. On this sense' pflsbcietV ,is founded,
the distinction which the SeCusation of falsehood
has received ; but it is only when a, man is ac-!
cused of stating as fact that which is not fact, ~
that he is- entitled - to seek reparation. • "Now,
what is it that Mr. Otway Cave imputed to Er,
Peel? " If he had come down to - the House',
with solemn plausibility, .ingenious candour,
and well-balanced cadence, and, on that- Elec-
tion Bill, had declared that be knew nothing of
theDukery, and that that Borough (East Ret-,
ford) was under the influence of the Duke .of
Newcastle, he should deserve as much to be be-
lieved as those were whofaise/l/implited personal
motives to him' for thetnotion he bad 'submit-'
ted." Now, the word ;fttise/y here does not
convey an accusation stating as fact that which is .
not fact, but means merely that there was no
foundation for the imputation of peraanal motives
to him, Mr. ()twit? Cave. :It means 4batyou

word lie" never implies an error of judgment,
hut wilful mistatement. To impute personal
motives to any man is neither more nor less than
to say, " I am of opinion that he is actuated
by personal motives." When I say that personal
I
motives have been falsely imputed to me, say
that there is no foundation for the; imputation
that I have been actuated by personal utotlires.
Mr. 0. Cave did not charge Mr. 'Peelvitb a
lie," or that into which this Saxon word can be
translated, but with arriving at on erroneous con-
clusion with regard to his motives. No Ellen ean
know the motives of another with certainty ; he
can only conjecture what they are, and there is
all the difference in the world between a false
conjecture, and the telling what is false, The
Speaker, instead of worrying Mr. Cave as he
ought to have told Mr. Peel that he had falsely
decided with respect to the import of the Honour-
able Gentleman's accusation, with which he had
right to be offended. It is always dangerous

BOW-STREET.—Yesterday William Wise, an
elderly man, of a respectable appearance, was charged be-
fore Sir RICHARD BIRNIR with having had in his posses-
sion a quantity of the notes contained in the parcel which
was stolen from Mr. Greenway, one of the partners in the
Warwick Bank, while that gentleman was in the act of
stepping into a coach at Furnival's-inn Coffee-house, in
Holborn, in November last.
Mr. Gates, the solicitor to the Society of Bankers, ap-
peared to conduct the prosecution. The prisoner was un-
accompanied by any professional person. •
Henry Charles Holloway.deposed, that lie is a clerk in
the banking-house of Sir Richard Carr Glyn and Co. On
the 21st of November last, he delivered to Mr. Greenway
(one of the firm of Kelynge and Greenway, bankers at
Warwick) a parcel, containing notes of the Warwick, Strat-
ford-on-Avon, Shipton-on-Stour, and Chipping Norton,
Banks, amounting, in the whole, to a very considerable
sum. This parcel, the witness had heard, was stolen.
The notes now produced, numbered 2,023, dated: 9th of
Sept. 1922, and 8,142, dated.26th of May, 1824, were
among the notes contained in the parcel so stolen.
Charles Thompson deposed, that he is a clerk in the
booking-house of Waterhouse ant! Co., at the Ange)-inn,
Islington. He knew the prisoner by sight, although he
Was not personally acquainted with him until very re-
cently, when lie (the prisoner) 'obtained change front him
for some notes of the Carmarthen Bank. About ten days
ago the prisoner called upon witness and asked for change
of five one pound notes of the Chipping Norton Bank,
which he gave him. On last Tuesday the prisoner brought
witness ten more notes, belonging to the same bank, re-
questing him to change them also. 111 e circumstance
excited the suspicion of the witness, acd, with a view to
inquiry, he told the prisoner to call upon him on Thurs-
day morning, when he would give him the money. In
the course of Wednesday, witness made some inquiries
respecting the notes at the banking-house bf Sir Richard
Carr Glyn and Co., and, from the answers he received
there, the suspicions which he had previously entertained
were strengthened. He, therefore, communicated with
Gardiner, an inspector of patrol belonging to this establish-
ment, who lost no time in waiting upon Mr. Gates, by
whom lie was directed to take. the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner, according_ to appointment, called at the
Angel Inn on Thursday morning, expecting to receive
change for his notes, Gardiner, however, was not present
at the time, and the prisoner was desired to call the next
day ; and accordingly, when he appeared yesterday morn-
ing, according to appointment, he was secured and taken
to this office.
Sir RICHARD BIRNIR asked the witness if the CarMar-
then Bank was connected with any other bank ?—The
witness replied, that some time ago the Carmarthen and
Swansea Banks were united.

the country were produced by his measures—
and he consequently. had too much regard for
his character, and too much affection for his sa-
lary, to rise' up. in the Senate and condemn a
proceedina which was caused by his own favou-
itts but fallacious policy. . Having admitted,
however,. that our surplus revenue only should
be applied to diminish 'the debt, and that three
million pounds which is more than we can now
spare, is an inadequate sum for the purposes of
an effective Sinking Fund, it savours very much
like a sneer on the part of the Right Honour-
able Gentleman, but a sneer at himself and his
illustrious colleagues, to tell us that his innova-
tions in our counnercial policy have enabled us to
do even the . little we have done in remitting
taxes, and' have " contributed to improve tue
general comfort of all classes ofhis Majesty's sub-
jects. " Good God ! Is not this too much ?

Since our last publication, the weather has been
extremely boisterous and unseasonable, and a greater
quantity of rain has fallen than has been experienced
at this season for a very great number of years.
During the whole of Friday night last, it rained
heavily and incessantly ; on Saturday forenoon a
cessation took place, but about noon, on that day
the rain again commenced, and continued to fall
without intermission until Tuesday morning. The
wind daring that period was from the south-west ;
and was occasionally very tempestuous. From the
quantity of rain that has fallen, the rivers in the
neighbourhood have overflowed their banks to a con-
siderable extent ; and we fear much damage has
been done to the crops of hay, in many situations
where they had not been secured. Indeed, a good
deal appears to. have been carried away by the im-
petuous flood which swept over the meadows. We
fear that this will be by no means the worst con-
sequence of the excessive rain. The crops of corn
are at present in a most critical stage of their growth,
and the inclement weather must have had a very
prejudicial effect upon them. In the neighbourhood
of Stockport and Didsbury, and in fact, for a length
of several miles on the Mersey, thereabouts, the con-
sequences of the floods have been very disastrous.
About ten o'clock on Sunday morning, a part of the
large premises of Mr. Peter Marsland, of Park Mill,
Stockport, was undermined by the force of the .wa-
ter, and gave way with a tremendous crash. Nearly
a thousand pieces of calico, together with a quantity
of vitriol, and other articles used in the bleaching
of grey goods, were, with the floors and walls of the
building, about eight yards wide, and several stories
high, carried down the river. A great deal of damage
was also done to the stocks of cotton placed in the
lower stories, to which the. water obtained access.
The windows of the spinning factory of Mr. Bayley,
a little below the bridge, were forced in, and about 18
or 20 skips of weft wadied away. Mr. Thomas
Cheetham is one of the principal sufferers. The
water completely filled the lower story of his fac-
tory, and a great deal of valuable weaving and spin-
ning machinery has been rendered unfit for use, or
materially injured. The whole damage done to
Mr. Cheetham's property is estimated at nearly one
thousand pounds. A vast deal of injury wits done
also to the stocks and machinery in several other
factories, situate at the water's edge; but, with the
exception of Mr. Marsland's, we do not hear of any
buildings having sustained material injury. The
neighbourhood of Marple and Compstall Bridge has
suffered severely in times of former floods, and it
was very confidently expected that there would have
been great damage done there on this occasion ;
but, we believe, in contradiction to many reports
to the contrary, that little or no damage was
done there. In the Mersey, at' Stockport, the tit--
most height attained by the present flood,though it was
much higher than for a number of years past, was at
least two yards and a half lower than the point to
which the waters rose in the year 1799, the highest
flood at Stockport in the memory of man. Three
sons of Mr. Hampson, a farmer, of Didsbury, and a
man servant, were out on Sunday, endeavouring to
save as much of the hay as possible from the ravages
of the flood, when the banks of the river suddenly
burst in, and in a short time the ground for acres
around them, was. overflowed. No chance of escape
remained for them but to clirrib into a tree, which
they availed themselves of. The distraction of Mr.
Hampson, when he saw the whole of his land over-
flooded, without any signs of the return of his sons,
is not to be described; and his joy may be conceived
when, after a search of some hours, for which a
small boat was put in requisition, they were found
in the uncomfortable situation where they had taken
refuge. On Sunday evening, the Birmingham
Mail was necessitated to come round by Stockport,
instead of crossing the bridge over the Mersey at
Cheadle, the roads in that neighbourhood being
rendered impassable by the floods. In the neigh
botirbood of Stretford and Northen, the whole of
the low lands on the banks of the Mersey were
laid Under Water; and an immense quantity of hay,
together with many fields of corn and potatoes, en-
tirely.destroyed. A part of the road near Crossford
Bridge was washed away by the flood, but, we be-
lieve, not to such an extent as to prevent carriages
from- proceeding. Lower down the river, towards
'Warrington, the country was entirely under water;
and the daniage to the crops is almost incalculable.
We greatly regret to learn also, that a boat, which
was crossing the river -at Warrington, on Monday,
was upset by running foul of the hawser of a flat,
and three or four persons were drowned. From the
heaviness of the rain on Monday evening, the Irwell
was sWollen to even a greater height than upon
Sunday; but on Tuesday morning, the lain having
nearly ceased, the river began gradually to subside.
The accounts we have received from the north, de-
scribe the damage done by the overflowing of the
rivers as very great, particularly in the destruction
of the hay crops, whole fields of which have been
carried Off.-111nachester Paper.

Sir RICHARD BIRNIE observed, that that fact -Thigh,
serve to develope the mystery attending the robbery of the
Swansea Bank.—The witness explained, that before he
changed the Carmarthen notes for the prisoner, he sent
them to the agents to ascertain that they were genuine.
Richard Gardiner deposed, that he is an officer of Bow-
street. The notes produced were handed to him by the
last Witness. Before he took the prisoner into custody, he
asked him if Le were the person who had come for change
of the notes, and he replied that be was. Upon this evi-
dence; MC,' Gates applied to have the prisoner remanded.
Aire HAttflasked the prisoner what he had to say in his
defeseee, cautioning him' in'the usual way not to say any
thing which might afterwards be brought as evidence
against him.—The prisoner replied that it was quite trite
he had left the notes to be changed with Thompson. lie
lived in the neighbourhood, where he had carried on an
extensive business for many years. ' Was it likely, he asked,
that if IA kneW the notes bad'beeo- stolen, that he would
have called twice to have them Changed.
"Mr. Ha you no other explanation as to how
these notes came into your possession?'' Do not answer,
however, if.yoo are• not prepared. Prisoner—l thank
your Worship, but Mr. Gates knows very well who and
what I am.
Mr.' Gates—lf you refer to me for a character, all I can
sav is, that I am prepared to state what I know about you.

Sir RicuAnn asked MI% gates what day he
wished to have the prisoner remanded to ?
Tuesday next was fixed for a re-examination, and the
prisoner was removed in custody.
Elizabeth Gordon, an unfortunate female, was claret]
with haviug attempted to destroy herself. It appeared
from the statement of Hands, a watchman of Waterloo-
bap, that between three and four o'clock yesterday
morning, a num observed the woman, in a state Of great
Mental agony, walking down Wellington-sft e,,t, and, sus-
-1 ng• her design, followed ber. She descended the steps
leading to the river on the left hand side of the bridge,
and was about to plunge into the water, when she was
withheld from so doing by the individual referred to, who
called the watch, and ;gave her into custody. The un-
happy being now wept bitterly, and expressed herself
must contrite, and promised never again to repeat the at-
tempt ; upon which she was discharged, with a suitable
admonition.

At the appointed hour on Thursday; a deputation,
consisting of Mr. Yockney (a Commissioner of Land
and Assessed Taxes), Mr. Dow, the Churchwarden
(also a Commissioner of Taxes), Mr. Phillips, the
solicitor, Mr. Young, Mr. Cowell, Mr. Beck, and
Mr. Callahan, ancient and substantial householders
in the parish : with Mr. Thomas, whose actiVe and
laudable exertions, as constable, have often • been
before the public, waited upon the Home Secretary,
and were received with great. politeness.
Mr. Peel had Mr. Corder's letter before him, to-
gether with a copy of a Morning Paper of yesterday
se'nnight, containing a report of the proceedings
which gave rise to the present interview.
Mr. Phillips proceeded to state the grounds of
complaint as described in Mr. Corder's letter, and
said that the majority of the inhabitants considered
the conduct of the Chief Magistrate so, arbitrary and
overbearing, and altogether so unjust, that they fel'
themselves bound to seek for.redress. .
Mr. Peel said, it had been represented to himi
that upon the occasion in question there was a eon-_
siderable number of persons collected together in,
the passage of the office, when Sir R. Birnie was
entering 'from his house, and that there was some
squabbling befween parties, and that was the reason
that he had ordered the office to be cleared.
Mr. Phillips assured the Right Hon. Secretary
that this was not the case. Very few persons were
present, and no squabble took place. No noise was
heard until the order was given to turn Mr.. Corder
out.
Mr. Peel asked, was not Mr. Roche employed by
the Churchwardens and Overseers ?
Mr. Dow said he was a Churchwarden, and he
did not employ Mr. Roche. if the Overseers chose
to employ him and pay him, it must be out of their
own pockets eventually; for, most assuredly, if they
charged his emoluments to the parish funds the
charge would be appealed against at the Sessions.
Mr. Peel said he would advise such a course as
the best mode of settling the matter at issue in the
parish.
After some further conversation upon the imme-
diate subject of the visit of the Deputation,
Mr. Peel said it was very unpleasant for the
Secretary of State to be called upon to interfere with
Magistrates ; hut, of course, he should not skink
from noticing ally complaint which might he made of
improper conduct on their part. Perhaps, however,
it would be satisfactory to the Deputation to receive
his assurance that they might rest satisfied there
would be no recurrence of such conduct on the part
of the Chief Magistrate of Bow-street. •
The Deputation thanked' the Right Hon. Secre-
tary for his attention, and withdreiv.
