DAVIP.i V. lIARGttoVE ANfl
116`, was an action for a libel brought by the
plaintiff, a gentleman residing at .Scarborough,
ngainst the defendants,' who are printers and pub-
lishers of the Newspaper called the' York Herald.
It was Stateol by the ArrottNEY.GENattAL, who
appeared for the plaintiff, that Mr. Davies had for-
nieriy lived in. the neighbourhood of Edmonton,
hut for wine time past had taken up his residence
at Scarborough. Sonic, time previous to the pub-
lication of the libel of which lie now complained,
he had quitted his house at Scarborough, but
merely for a temporary thane, and during his
absence certain puor-rates became payable,
of which he was. not aware. On Itls return to,
Scarborough, therefore, he was surprised by the
appearance of a Person of the name pf Hutch-
inson, who required the payment of. three pounds
for poor-rates. Mr. Davies at first refused, ima-
gining that it was an attempt to impose npoultitn ;
hat the collector explained that the sun, demanded
included the rate for four quarters, whicl had not
been pressed fur in consequence of Mr. Davies's
, departure from his house, The, plaintiff, how-
ever, was not satisfied with this statement, and
deputed the claim ; when the collector intimated
that, if it were nut paid, he should take ma,
sures to enforce it, by seizing the goods „of Mr.
Davies. _ Under these circumstances, the plaintiff,

to avoid further inconvenience, consented, and
delivered 31. to Ilutehinson, the collector, at the

• ,
same tune requiring a receipt upon ,a, proper
stamp. Hutchinson replied, that it wr* not usual
to give them, but offered to'erase the name of the
_plaintiff from his books, as that .would answer
the same purpose. Such an acquittance did not
appear sufficient to Mr, Davies, who brought from
another room a stamp, for which he required the
collector to pay two-pence, who refused, alleging
that he was not Wood to give any such reeeipt. In
consequence ofthis perttna city band the general mis-
conduct of Hutchinson,Mr. Davies thought it right
to exhibit an information against him in the Exche-
quer, %OM' was finally settled by the payment
Hutchinson of the mitigated penalty of 51. , Soon
after this decision,. the paragraph which was ,the
subject of this action was inserted in the York
Herald; and as the dispute between the
and the collector of the poor-rates had excited
• much attention in that part of the county, it was
pecnliarly injurious and galling'to the feelings of.
the plaintiff. It began in the usual fortn.;•-•.41 We
understand," and went on to' state, that, the in-
formation exhibited in the -Exchequer: by Mr.
Davies against Mr. Hutchinson had been dis-
inissedon payment of costs of suit ; that.the public
would hciOt9ll6lloEl to hear that this procecdlog
had been instituted on the 'ground. that Mr.
Iltuchituton hail refused, to give Mr. Davies a
stamp receipt for a sum of 31. due for poor-
rates, being four quartetly assessments, which
Mr. Hutchinson, out of civility to Mr. Davies,
bad not pressed during his absence. The para-
graph added, that the sense which the inhabitants
of Scarborough entertained of this trausactiOn'was
fully proved by their, having adopted at a vestry
meeting a resolution declaring the conduct of Mr,
Davies to be uniteighbourly, litigious, and vexa-
tious. Upon the object and tendency of this li-
bel, and its injurious consequences to the plain-
tiff, the ATTOBNIM-GONSItAL made several, ob•
servations, commenting on the conduct of the de-
fendants in allowing it to be inserted in their news-
papers, and refusing to introduce a contradiction
)4,y the plaintiff, unless' be would pay for it as
an advertisement. It' might be said that the
pnrngraph, the ground Of this action, had been
so paid for and printed, but it could afford no ex-
cuse, much'less a justification. It did not ituffe-
einently happep that the proprietors of newspapers
*soaped the payment of the duty, although they
charged for paragraphs like the present as. wirer.
tisements : it would be mach better for them to
imitate the conduct of a respectable concern of
the same kind in London, in- which the nature of
the paragraph was designated at the commence
anent, withoto apparently pledging the character
of the proprietors to facts and opinions which
could not have °conic within their knowledge.
Evidetle was then given of thepnblicatipoe and
the libel was read in the terms above stated.

Mr. SCARWET, on the pot of the defendants,
observed, that as a justification had been entered
upon the record, It would be his duty to prove
shut the assertions In the alleged libel were trite.
He regretted that the plaintiff had been's° unwise'
as to bring the subject before a Court of Justice,
where 011 the circumstances of the case would be
weighed, and where his conduct would certainly
not appear to advantage. ,With regard to the ne-
cessity for a stamp, the origin of the dispute he-
meta the parties—it was obvious that Hutchin-
son, the Colleetor,—had acted under a mistake,

itnagining titut, as for the Assessed 'faxes the
party payiny; Will obliged to pay for the re•
cella, the saute rule applied to rite Poor-rates:
in truth,- no statnp-receipt would have been ne-
eemory, had the plaintiff regularly paid what was
due quartet ly ; but the forbearance of the Collec-
tor tor iris convenience bad augmented the awn
to alt amount within the Act.

He then produced two witnesses, who deposed
to the antountoof poor rates due, and to the 44
of the vestry-tneeting at Scarborough, at which
the conduct of Mr. Davies had beau voted un.
usighbourly, litigious, and vexatious.
_ _

Mr. Burke, friirn the fixchequer, gave evidence
es to the proceedings on the information exhibited
by the plaintiff against Hutchinson but, on his
cross-examination, it appeared that the suit had
terminated by the payment of 51. as a ,mitigated
Jenalty by the collector, and not, as the libel al.
eged, on payment of costs.
Lord KLIANIOROUGH, therefore, in addressing
the, Jury, observed, that as the defendants had
,failed in making out their justification, it remain
ed for them to decide what damages should be
given to the plaintiff, who, it appeared by his wn
&Rowing, rod laid a sort at a trap for the Collector
teg.ieding the receipt stamp,
~and had afterwards
; • in the Built tier to con-
y-weeded-111,0mq q

IMUMA,AI SCIERP-SMARING.-FlRir DAY.

This great agticnttural festival commenced on
Monday, the Ist instant. 'Lite .company began to
assemble ;Wont ten o'clock, and having montited
their horseg, proceeded to Longlands, svhere..the
shearers were itt work in Mr. Batten's barn. The
neatness of rise shearing was as usual much ad-
Hared, and indeed) in'poillt of economy, it can-
not be disputed that the rib method isAnnch to be
preferreel to the longitudinal plan, formerly in
common use in the County of Norfolk. Front
the barn..they proceeded to inspect a very
useful and simple horseAtoe, which is ralculated
for 'turnips or beans drilled on the Northum-
berland plan, cleans two furrows at once, 'and
does its work well, but respires great accuracy
and precision. Having seen the operation of this
implement, which appeared to 'open mite eyes of
ninny heavy.land farmers to the advantage of the
raised.drill method of growing turnips, Mr. Coke
Invited his guests to inspect a tine crop of the
white mangle-Wurzel; at the same time observ-
ing, that from what he had formerly said against
mangle-Wurzel in general, he might be supposed
inconsistent in again attempting its culeure. The
fact was, he'said, that this was some seed for-
warded to him by the' Emperor of Russia, who
much wished him to make a 'trial of it. The
plants looked very healthy and promising. A tine
crop of lucerne, put in this spring, next engaged
the attention of the party. It Ryas drilled in rows
of nine inches distance, at 401 b. per acre, amid with
it sown a cast of buck-wheat. Lime company, af-
ter viewing a curious Neapolitan boar, and a two
year-old Devon bull, rode on to Mr. Denny's
farm, at Egmere, With Mr. Denny's occupa-
tion the party were highly satisfies), and the state
of-his crops obtained for him the just commenda-
tion of all who saw them.

Notwithstanding the rainy weather most part
of the day, the company did not return to the
ball till, three 'o'clock, when about 100 Noblemen,
Gentlemen, and'FaimerS sat down to dinner, Mr.
Coke presiding at one table, and the Duke of Bed-
ford at the other. After the cloth was removed,
und the lisual, toasts drank, Mr. Coke iproposed
the health of'the Bishop of Norwich, upon which
the Rev. Mr. Glover rose, and in an energetic ad-
dress enumerated the many virtues of this truly
worthy man. Mr. G. then took occasion to di-
gress to the subject of tithes, and After'discussing
the subject at, considerable length, in the course of
which he defended the claims of the Clergy, al-
thoogh he hoped those claims would never be en-
forced to the uttermost, he proceeded to state it
as Ins decided opinion, that much of the mischief
might be attributed to a class of 'pen who had
lately arisen under the name of tillie-valuerp—trien•
frequently without a single qualification for such
an office, but who only calculated their ten per
cent. profit on their valuations, without thinking
or hearing any thing further about thettnitter,
The Rev. Gentleman concluded by proposing as
a toast---" A constitutional Gnsernineut without
corruption, and an ecclesiastical hierarchy without
intolerance."
Mr. Come now adverted -to a discuss:coo du
folding, which had been, begun last, year between
Lord Albemarle, Mr. Greiff;, end himself. _Ha
wished the Noble
,Lord to state his Ererniments on
the subject, and concluded by proposing the health
of Lord Albemarle, with three times three.
The Noble Lord, in returning thanks, stated
with much !minium his reasons for differing on so
important a•subject from his master, as be styled'
him, and the Duke of Bedford.- The main, drift
of his argument went to prove that manure may
be distributed 'with greateryegularity by the fold
than if the illitcp were suffered to go at large,
without that injury to tlai animals which Mr.
Coke had maintained they would stiffer. As to
the woo), tie contended that it Was improved ra-
ther than injured by folding, .‘ Mr. Coke bad said,
that his farm carried a vast number of sheep more
than when be practised folding ; but still his.
Lordship remained firmly of opinion that he was
correct, and,they were in error.
Mr. Coxe said, his own experience on this'
subject was totally at variance with that of.the
Noble Lord, in proof of which be instanced the
present improved, state of his laud, and the
greater proportion of sheep it was now enabled
to-carry-a quantity, he maintained., he could not
have kept if be still continued to fold. ' Mr% Coke
concluded by giving the health of If The .Doke
of Bedford and ti 4 House of Russell," with three
tines three.

His Grace here topk occasion to observe, that
his sentiments were quite in unison with those of
his Hun.. Friend, Mr. Coke. .1111;•hati born 20
years a farmer, and during all that period had been
an advocate for the non-folling'system. He did'
not contend that the folding might not, in some
cases, be advisable 'sod even-advantageous, but
it was wrong to establish it as a general principle.
On the 'whole, the question appeared to hint. to be,
simply this—ls the injury sustained by the sheep
equal to the benefit derived by the land The Noble
Duke' hiving sat down, Mr. Coke proposed the
be of Gen. Walpole, with three times three, who
then briefly returned thanks. 'Mr. Greig rose, and
rft some length went over the arguments against
falding ; but in order to settle the matter at once,
he proposed to Mr. Coke to allot him- one of his
reeks to be folded upon ; another,' Mr. Coke
might feed on the non•toltiing plan : he knew of
no other way of setting the question at test. Mr.
grelg then adverted to a new method he had dis-
covered of raising turnips. His term, he said, was
and was ploughed only
in a seven `course shift,
three times in seven years ! His worthy friend,
Mr. Coke, hid doubted-the success of his turnip
culture ; it was merely to scarify his wheat
stubbles in the spring, anti sow the turnips,-by
which a plurality of ploughings WU Bvuided,
which he contended was unnecessary. '

Mr. COKE then gave " Lortrsugent,". with
three times three. His Lordship returned thanks.
The health of Mr. Coke having been proposed by
the Duke of Bedford, the company adjourned to
the sheep-pens, whereseveraf pens of Southdown
hoggetts in their wool were exhibited for prizes)
also sundry rams, which were much atlfo4.'
ed for their size and symmetry'. A iiiudel of a
stack-saddle was likewise exhibited by Mr.

Ilrown, of Thrigily, the frame of which was of east
iron, and covered over with tied boards. '

SECOND DA'V.=--TUESDAY.
The company assembled this morning in much
greater numbers titan on the preceding day.. The
following is a list of, some of the Nobleman and
Gentlemen who were visitors at the Louse
'rue Duke of Bedford, the Earl of Albemarle, the Marq►is
of Tarhuock, Earl Nugent, Lord LynedoeL, the High Sheriff
(S. 'l' Soutlitvell, Esq.), lion. Gen. %Vitipole, Hun. Gen. Fitz-
roy, Hon. General Wm. Fitzroy, Sir George Slice, Sir Ben-
jamin Hohlionse, Sir W. %V. Wynn, Sit...lames E. Smith, Ad-
'u►irat Lukin, &c. &c. &e.

The whole of the party then proceeded to the
sheep-pens, to inspect the different lots exhibited
for prizes ; amonst which a pen of Southdown
%Tether luogetts from Overman's,,.of_ Burn-
ham, particularly attracted attention. There were
eight pens of ten each, besides ten rams ; which
will be described in the account of the distribir,
Hon' of the prizes. After the judges had inspect-
ed the several lots, the party rode t0..-Ak. Bloom-
field's, of Miriam), to see the different, specimens
of meadow land, formed by what Mr. B. calls
inoculation, but which term should be changed 'to
.transplantation, for it is neither more nor lesi than
transplanting turf from old meadow to the, spot
intended to be laid to grass. The sods are laid
by women, and rammed down with a proper in-
sinirnent, and afterwards rolled with a heavy, roller.
" With respect to,,the spot from which the sods are
taken, in the course of a year it will hardly be
visible that any part of it has been taken away.
Mr has specimens of transplanting performed
at various times; the verdure of the oldest of
Which (three years) is beautiful ; and bo coin-
pletely satisfactory as to the result, of the tnea-
sure, that no one, on the strictest examina-
tion, could possibly distinguish it from an old
piece of grass land. •The expence is heavy.
'A ltd. viewing Mr. Bloornfield's fine farm, anti
examining his beautiful dairy of Devon cows, Mr.
Coke and his guests, who by this time formed a
cOnsiderable cavalcade, rode to his:.new barn,
where a ottinerona show of Devon oxen were ex-
hibiting for prizes, and were justly admired as
specimens of the improvement which has taken
place in the breed of this nsefal and beautiful
stock of e•attle.•
frhe patty. next returned to the house, and soon
after three o'clock sat down to thinner, in number
about 200, when, after the cloth was
,removed.,
and some of the customary toasts drank,
Coke proposed the health of .the High Sheriff,.
with three times three, who returned thanks in au
appropriate speech.

" Sir Joseph Macs."

ing ; and gave " Lord Bradford, Lord pandas,
Sir John Sinclair, Mr. Brand, Mr. Western,: and

,and Prosperity to Scotland"---" Sir W. W.lVytin

Lord 'Lynedoch theft proposed the health of
Mr. Coke, which was drank with the usual en-
thusiasm. •
tilr. Cone, after returning thanks, gave the
health of a noble young friend near himr-4" She
M'arquis of Tavistock, and the• House of Russell,"'
-which was drank with three times three.
" The Duke of BEDFORD ". was the next toast;
end here Coke begged leave mash the Noble'
Duke to state the reasons which had induced him
to part with his Devon cattle ? The Noble Wce
began with expressing the sincere pleasure it af-
forded hint, that he had as soir who was fond of
'fanning, and who seemneci disposed to, pay para..
eularattention. to the Devon breed'of cattle. For
his part, ho had tried itIMUSt every breed, from the
long horns of Mr.Bakeweli to the short horins of
Mr. Culley,and the great Glamorgan oxen. In his
practice, two poiuts were clearly .ascertained-
that the only choice lay between the Devons and'
the Herefords'. lie believed that in the neigh-

circumstances were such, that he was not able to

Mt. COX'S wished Lord Albemarle,to state she

expressed it as his decided opinion, that they were
:superior to any otheratock. .

of England Agricultural society."

Sir-Bs:mow: paid Mr. Coke many compliments
on the admirable state of his crops, and on the
usefulness of such an Institution as the Holitham.
slieep-shearing.
Mr. Coax next alluded to the subject of the
wire-worm, and wished Lord Albemarle to give
any additional information On a subject so i merest-
ing,and importaut,
.Lord ALIIRMAni-E hoped be could now bring
proof of what be had advanced respecting the ef-
ficacy of oil-dust iu preserving a clop, thoniti it
bad, operated in a different way to what he had
before stated. For this additional light on the
subject, he was intlebted to the ingenuity of Mr.
raid, who had madia a series of experiments which
had enabled him to decide poSitively, that thongli
he bed. mis,taiten the cause Of the preservation of
his turnips and wheat, the effect was the same.
The fact was, that the wire-worm fed on the
oil-cake ruttier than the giant. Ha had broken
up an old lucerne and sainfoin layer, had drelied
it welt with oil-dust, and it had escaped the Wire-.
worm.

Mr. Costa observed, that he had received a let-
ter from " A Norfolk' farmer," corroborating
this opinion of the Noble Lord : and GenerAl
pole also added, that be had dressed two pieces
of wheat, one with long snuck, the otherwith
oil-dust : the first %vas attacked by the wire-worm,
the second not at all.

The 'Meeting then adjourned to the sheep-pens,
,where the shearers were engaged in clipping the
Several sheep intended to he shown for promituns.
After a pleasant day, the company dispersed fo
their respective quarters for the Digit('

,LONDON MARKETS.
