SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. I presence and encouragement, he would be guilty un-
der the second count, which charged him with resist-
ing his lawful capture.
The Jury having deliberated nearly an hour, found
the prisoner Guilty, but strongly recommended him
to mercy on account of his previous good character.
Mr. Baron ROLFE said that he concurred with the
Jury in their verdict, and in the recommendation with
which they accompanied it. But be should not do
his duty if he did not sentence the prisoner to a pu-
nishment of some severity. The sentence was, that
he should be confined for three calendar months, and
kept to hard labour.
Edward Leader, No. 33, Devonshire-street, Lisson-
grove, painter, was indicted for feloniously and car-
nally knowing Laurina Leader (his own child), she
being under the age of ten years. The details of this
revolting case are wholly unfit for publication.
The prosecution was instituted by the parochial
authorities of St. Marylebone, and was conducted by
Mr. Clarkson.
The prisoner was very ably defended by Mr. Char-
nock, who contended that the evidence of the child
must be received with suspicion,, as she was under the
influence of her mother and other relatives, with
whom the prisoner had disputes respecting his wife's
property ; and further, that the evidence of the child
as to the completion of the offence, was not conclusive.
The Jury, after a short deliberation, found the pri-
soner guilty of an aggravated assault, with an intent
to commit a rape.
Mr. Baron ROLFE sentenced the prisoner to two
years' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of
Correction, and told him that he would be tried next
session for rape, fully perpetrated on a subsequent
occasion upon the person of the same child.
The prisoner, who had fainted several times during
the trial, was unable to stand without support whilst
the sentence was being passed, and was taken from
the bar in a state bordering on insensibility.
(Before the RECORDER.)
Elizabeth Newark, indicted for the manslaughter of
William Oates, was acquitted. The particulars of the
case have appeared in the papers.
Catherine Sullivan, 19 ; Harriet Bond, 17 ; and
SophidGiles, 17, were convicted, upon clear evidence,
of stealing some articles of wearing apparel, the pro-
perty of a person named Brown, and there appeared
good reason to believe that the girl Giles had been in-
duced to commit the offence, or at all events to assist
in it by the other prisoners, both of whom had been
before convicted of felony. The prisoners, it appeared,
were all of that class termed "unfortunate."
The RECORDER, in passing sentence upon Sullivan
and Bird, said that the Court would give them
another chance, but they must undergo a lengthened
period of imprisonment. The sentence was that they
be kept to hard labour for eighteen calendar months.
When the sentence was pronounced, the prisoners
burst into tears, and begged most earnestly that they
might be transported. They said they had neither
father, mother, nor any other relatives who cared about
them, or who could do anything for them, and there-
fore when they came out of gaol, they must resort to
their evil courses again, and they therefore prayed
that the Court would send them out of the country.
The RECORDER said it was very seldom the Court
paid any attention to the wishes of prisoners with re-
spect to the mode or period of punishment, but in the
present instance, as it entertained considerable doubt
whether it was, under the circumstances, justified in
pronouncing such a, lenient sentence, and believing it
would be much better for the prisoners themselves to
be removed from this country, it would rescind the
sentence just passed, and would now direct that they
should be severally transported for the term of ten
years.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—The Queen has set out to-day on a
visit to Scotland, and there can be no doubt that
the Sovereign and her consort will be welcomed
with all the warmth of loyalty. The Scotch
Papers have, however, been of late somewhat in-
judicious in expressing their hopes and opinions
as .to-the way in which her Majesty will pass the
short time she is able to devote to her visit;
and some of the Edinburgh Journals have gone
coo for as to suggest to the Sovereign the place
'of worship and the form of divine service which
it would be most desirable for her Majesty to
sanction with her presence. It is highly unbe-_
coming in,a journalist to make the first visit of
the Sovereign to her northern subjects an occa-
sion for pointingout a course which it may be dis-
agreeable to herself to adopt, while, in refraining
from it, the Queen may be accused of having ne-
glected the wishes of,a portion of her people.
It is a very severe penalty 0:4 the tenure of the
highest office in the State, to be denied the com-
mon liberty of personal action which the hum-
blest individual can alivays enjoy in matters un-
connected with his employment; for when the
task of the meanest artisan is finished, he is ge-
uerally free to act as be likes, and to go where
he pleases. Her Majesty has had her full share
of the cares of Government during the Parlia-
.xtlentary session; and it is rather hard to refuse
to, her that recreation which cannot be en-
joyed if any attempt is made to force upon
. her attention certain subjects which have
caused much agitation in Scotland. We are
induced to make these observations by a
-report which prevails that the General As-
sembly will devise measures to make her Majesty
acquainted with the state of ecclesiastical mat-
ters in the country to which she goes as a visitor.
We cannot believe that the body allUded to will
haVe the bad taste to introduce into a congratu-
latory address to the Queen any reference to the
present position of the Presbyterian Establish-
anent--a course which could only be embarrass-
ing to the Sovereign, who could not, with pro-
priety. or with pleasure, pronounce any opinion
on the points involved in the difference between
the Scotch Church and the legal tribunals of the
country. It is truly gratifying to remark that
the miserable attempts of the vagabonds Francis
and Bean, to obtain notoriety by their con-
temptible pranks, have not deprived the Queen
and the people of the pleasure both must derive
from meeting together on such occasions as that
which has rendered to-day a holiday for thou-
sands of the inhabitants of this metropolis.
STANDARD—The leading journals, Whio-
and Tory, of Manchester, the Courier, Chronicle,
and Guardian, expressed the fullest conviction
that the gentleman (Mr. Gregory, of the firm of
Adlington, Gregory, and Follett) who has been
commissioned by the Government to inquire into
the origin of the present state of affairs in that
town and neighbourhood, will have no difficulty
in referring it to a distinct conspiracy on the
part of the Anti-Corn-law League to lower the
wages of their workmen, with the express view
of provoking a general turn-out ; and this with-
out regard to the actual state of trade, which
had been improving for some time past, or their
real means of remunerating- labour. No reason-
able man who has been an attentive reader of
the accounts contained in the public newspapers
for the last four or five weeks of the conduct
of these gentry can entertain the slightest
doubt of the fact. Perhaps the news-
paper organs of the faction are entitled
to whatever credit may attach to their
pioneers in this praiseworthy performance;
but, however this may be, the merit of hav-
ing acted on their suggestion must be allowed to
belong to the Anti-Corn-law millowners of the
district in which the disturbances first broke
out. The journals of the League have de-
;voted themselves for many months past to
the production of precisely the state of things
which they now find it convenient to deplore. fc-
land.—for we will believe an approver in prefer-
ence to an accomplice, if the testimony of the
former be properly corroborated—declared in the
early part of last month, " that the object of the
meeting of the League iii London was to consider
the propriety of stopping all their mills on the
same day, and that they had determined
So to do." This declaration was published
in one of the Chartist organs a month
before the strike, and was only attempted
to be contradicted a few days ago. Ac-
land; is one of the paid itinerant agents
of the League, and is, therefore, very
good authority for the - intentions of his
employers. Even in the Conference itself,
one of the representatives of the body, a Mr.
Finch, suggested to the meeting that they
(his constituents) had the power, with. the
of the colliers, of compelling the aris-
•tocracy, in less than a month, to abolish
thc Corn laws and concede the Charter. A
. strike of the colliers was the mode proposed to
effeCting this object; but although toe wary to
suggest in that place a turn-out of the workmen
in the manufacturing districts, there can be no
doubt that the hint was designed for their adop-
tion as well. Even so late as the second of the
present month one of the borough Aldermen of
Manchester did not scruple to suggest that "the
only plan which the manufacturers had to resort
to at present was to stop their factories." A Lon-
don organ of the League, indeed, assumes to
itself the credit of having been the first to sug-
gest the project of "shutting up all the mills
in a single day,"'' which was," it is further added,
" considered again and again,"—with what result
we all of us know. Some of the Journals in the
confidence of the conspirators suggested the
employment of Swing; but as the former opera-
tion was judged to be the likeliest means of
arriving at a prompt result, it appears to have
been selected in preference. Now the Aclands,
Cobdens, and gentlemen of that ilk, complain
that no dependence is to be placed on the autho-
rity of those Chartist newspapers or emissaries
who have brought this charge against them; but
before such evidence is corroborated it may be,
well to inquire into the extent to which it has
been rejected.

CENTRAL CR IMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
THE CHARTIST MEETINGS.— William TaylOr, a
plasterer, aged 39, was placed at the bar; charged
with feloniously cutting and wounding Robert Col-
lins, a constable of police, with intent to do him some
grievous bodily. harm. In . another count he was
charged with obstructing the constable in the execu-
tion .•
of his tufty.
No counsel appeared for the prosecution, but Mr.
Payne defended the prisoner.
The charge arose out of the occurrences that took
place at the Chartist meeting on Kennington-common
last'Monday.
Robert Collins, police-constable No.loB V, deposed
that after the police had dispersed the , meeting on
the Common, the prisoner and several other persons
assailed the police with stones, one -of which was
thrOWn by the prisoner, and struck witness upon the
head. The prisoner then rushed in upon witness and
wrenched his staff from him, with which he struck
him violently about the head. Other policemen came
to his assistance, and a scuffle ensued, in which, by
the pressure of the mob, witness and several of his
fellows were pushed down, but they retained their
hold of the prisoner, and ultimately succeeded in con-
veying
him to the station-house in Tower-street.
Henry Knutford, police constable 87 L, corrobo-
rated Collins's evidence. In his cross-examination
(by Mr. Payne) the witness denied that he had been
drinking that morning. The Superintendent had
takn precautions that no constable should have more
then one pint of porter, and that only at dinner time.
John Brown, a Chelsea pensioner, was passing over
the Common at the time of the scuffle, and saw the
prisoner throw stones at the policemen, and "go into
close fight" With some of them. The crowd pressed
on the police to rescue the prisoner, but witness
shoo his w aiking-stick at them, and they fell back.
—(A laugh.) He flourished his stick as he would a
fencing-stick, and that kept the mob back.—(A
laugh.) He (witness) was employed that day in
delivering papers for the Income-tax, and he went to
the common, on his way home, to see what the "gen-
tlemen would do who wanted to divide all the pro-
perty in the country, and make us all equal."
Alr. PAYNE addressed the Jury foi' the prisoner,
who, he said, was on the evening in 'qUestion return-
ing from his work, ignorant even that a meeting was
to take place on the Common, when he found himself
in the midst of the police, and was seized and very
roughly handled. This provoked him, and a struggle
ensued, in which he wrested from one of the police a
truncheon that was lifted up to fell him, before he
knew what he was attacked for.
Several respectable witnesses, gave the prisoner an
excellent character.

Mr. Holden, builder, cf Vere-street, Clare. market,
said that the prisoner had been in his employment
four years as foreman, having from eight to eleven
men under him. He Nilas married and had five
children. There could not be a more peaceable dis-
creet man in the world, nor could there be a better
man to his wife and children.

Mr. Baron ROLFE in summing up, said that there
seemed nothing whatever to sustain the first.count of
the indictment, as there could be no pretence for
saying that the prisoner assaulted the prosecutor with
ail intention to do him grievous bodily harm. The wit-
nesses, for the prosecution, had positively deposed that
the prisoner was one of those who threw stones ; but
even if he were not, but was one of the
crowd from which the stones were thrown
and only gm that crowd countenance by his,

- The prisoner Giles was then called up for judg-
ment, and the RECORDER having observed that it ap-
peared she had not been before convicted, the Court
would give her a chance of retrieving her character
by passing upon her a sentence of imprisonment only.
The prisoner upon hearing this, exclaimed, "Oh
pray, my Lord, do transport me ;it is quite impos-
sible that I can reform. I have neither father, nor
mother, nor friends. lam sure I shall never do any
good here, and I shall only be worse when I come
out of prison."
The RECORDER said that in passing what might
appear to be a severe sentence, it must be understood
to be done at the prisoner's own request. At the
same time he thought such a course would be for her
benefit. The prisoner was then ordered to be trans-
ported for ten years.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)

ESIDEZZLEMENT.—James Brimage, aged 39, was
indicted with embezzling and stealing 121., and other
sums, the propriety of Joseph Price, his master.
From the evidence on the part of the prosecution,
it appeared that Messrs. Price and Co. carried on the
business of carpet and furniture manufacturers in
Compton-street, and King-street, Snow-hill. The pri-
soner at the bar had the conducting of that branch of
th% business which was carried on in Compton-street ;
for doing so he had a salary of 30s. a week, and it
was his business also to collect and pay monies, and
hand the balance over to his master. In the discharge
of his duty he had received the, vorioue aumß charsva
in the indictment, which he had not accounted for.
Mr. Bodkin prosecuted the prisoner; and Mr.
Crouch appeared in his defence.
The Jury, without the slightest hesitation, found
the prisoner Guilty.
There were two other indictments charging the
prisoner with embezzling money to the amount of
upwards of 501., which the Court thought it un-
necessary to proceed with.
Mr. BODKIN observed, that altogether the prisoner
was charged with embezzling upwards of 801.
Mr. CROUCH had been instructed to state that
the prosecution had been instituted from vindictive
motives.

Mr. BODKIN felt sure that the prisoner had fallen
into some of the bad hands who were always hanging
about the Court to entrap prisoners, and often gave
them advice which injured instead of improving their
case.

Mr. hirraPs—lt was to be lamented that many of
such persons were not hanging outside the Court.
The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced the prisoner to
seven years' transportation.
Wm. Gillett was indicted for stealing two loaves of
bread, value 6d., the property of Wm. Reynolds.
The prisoner pleaded Guilty, and on being asked
by the Learned Common Sergeant why he had com-
mitted the theft, he stated that he did it through
hunger, having had no food for two days.
The LEARNED JUDGE sentenced him to ten days'
imprisonment, to be computed from the first day of
the session.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.
Samuel Cambridge, an old sailor, was placed at the
bar before the LORD Mkiroa, charged with attempt-
ing to smuggle four pounds and a half of tobacco and
two bottles of brandy from the steam-vessel Belfast.
John Dillon, a tide-waiter, stated that he saw the
prisoner coming across a tier of vessels ; he stopped
him, and on his being searched four pounds a half of
negro-head tobacco and two bottles of French brandy
were found concealed about different parts of his person.
The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and he
was fined 405., which he immediately paid, and left
the Court.
A man, named Edward White, who had the ap-
pearance of a seaman, was brought before the Lord
Mayor, charged with having committed a highway
robbery in Bishopsgate-street.
Mr. George Rutt, of Fenchurch-street, an elderly
gentleman, who had evidently received severe blows
in the face, stated that, on Saturday evening, as he
was passing at the corner of Bishopsgate-street; a
person, whom he believed to be the prisoner, seized
him behind, and dragged his watch and seals from his
person, and another man struck him a violent blow
on the nose and knocked him down. Upon being
taken up witness called to the persons who raised him
to secure the thieves, and the prisoner was accord-
ingly seized, but the other ruffian escaped.
Timothy Morris, a labouring man, stated that as he
was. walking along the street he saw the prosecutor
fall with violence, and ran to his assistance and
lifted him up. The prosecutor immediately called to
him to follow the prisoner who was running away,
and he succeeded in grasping the fellow who had the
watch upon his person.
John Croley, a City policeman, said he saw, as he
was going to his beat, that there was a bustle near
St. Michael's-alley, Cornhill, and upon going to the
spot he found the prisoner in custody of Morris.
Witness then took from the prisoner's trousers'
pocket a gold watch, seals, and key, which the Imo-
secutor identifiqd as the property just stolen from him.
The LORD Mairoa--Prisoner, this is a heavy
charge against you, have you anything to say ?
Prisoner—Not a word.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.
A case, in which the interests of a vast number of
persons connected with the river Thames, and the
evidence in which was heard on a former day, was
decided before Alderman Gibbs. It was briefly as
follows :

Mr. William Bent, of Cannon-row Wharf, West-
minster, coal-merchant, appeared to answer to an
information, charging him with having carried goods,
wares, and merchandises for hire, in a barge called
" The Fly," he not being a licensed waterman, or
freemen of the Waterman 's Company, contrary to the
Act of 7th and Bth Geo. IV., cap. 75, which inflicts a
penalty of 101. for every such offence.
Mr. Wire attended in support of the information.
Mr. .Chambers, the barrister with Mr. Nelson, the
solicitor, appeared on behalf of the, defendant.
The defendant pleaded Not Guilty.
Mr. Wire said he appeared on the part of a most
numerous body of men, the free watermen of the City
of London, on whose behalf the information had been
laid, for an infringement of their rights: They were
under certain obligations to serve the country in time

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, August 27.
lAILWAY ACCIDENT-WHETENALL V. THE MANCHESTER
AND LEEDS RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was an action, tried before a special Jury, to
recover damages for injury received by reason of the
negligence of the defendants, through their servants.
Mr. KnowLEs stated the case at length, the sub-
stance of which was that the plaintiff, son of the chief
engineer of the Low Moor Ironworks, was a passenger
in a third class carriage belonging to the defendants,
on his way from Wakefield to Leeds ; and on the Ist
of March last, while he was reclining against the door
of the waggon, it suddenly flew open, the plaintiff
was thrown out, and fell with one leg upon the line.
( Immediately the whole train of carriages behind
passed over his leg, and it was superfluous to state,
that the leg, foot, and calf, were mixed in one mass
together, and the leg was irrecoverably. lost. The
attention of the guard was called to the circumstance,
the position of the plaintiff was pointed out to him, he
was implored immediately to get the train stopped,
and see what could be done for the sufferer.
The guard in answer said, that the man must
be dead, that there was no use stopping the train,
and that a fall like that must kill any man. The
train went on, and the man was left where he had
fallen. He was thrown with his head and breast on
the other line of railway, so that if a train had come up
from Leeds he must have been killed, as there was a bend
on the line at that part and they could not have seen
him, or, at all events, they could not have stopped the
train. If the train had been stopped, the plaintiff
might have been carried to Leeds in ten minutes,
and there receive the best surgical assistance ; but as
it was, forty minutes elapsed before a train reached
him from Leeds. The plaintiff was taken care of by
some labourers on the line, and afterwards conveyed
back to Wakefield, where, on the same evening, his—
leg was amputated a little below the knee. The
Learned Counsel charged the Company with negli-
gence in reference to the formation of the carriage,
the door of which latter was not properly fastened.
A number of witnesses were examined for the
plaintiff, who fully proved the case stated by the
Learned Counsel, with the exception of the motives
which induced the conductor to go on forward rather
than stop.
Mr. BAINES, • for the defendant, said the guard
made a signal to the engine-man to stop the
train, but as the engine-man did not see the
accident, but only saw a hat fall out of one of
the carriages, he thought that the object for
stopping the train was to pick up the hat, and, know-
ing that that was against the regulations of the Com-
pany, he did not stop the train. There was no. pre-
tence for casting an imputation of harshness upon the
Company, for everything had been done for the plain-
tiff, after the accident, that could be done.
Mr. KNOWLES replied, and Lord DENMAN summed
up the case, and the Jury, after a short retirement.
returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1,0001,

of war, and the Legislature in return had donferred
upon them certain privileges, giving to every freeman,
or the apprentice of every freeman, or the widow of a
freeman, the exclusive right to navigate barges, &c., on
the river Thames, except in cases where the barges
were the property of the persons whose goods they
carried. He should prove in this case that the de-
fendant was the owner of the barge " Fly," that he
carried therein the goods of Messrs. Felton and Son ;
that he was not a freeman, and that, therefore, he had
incurred the penalty of 1011 for every offence he had
committed. There were several informations against
the defendant, but inasmuch as the object of the wa-
termen was not to obtain penalties, but to establish a
right, they would not, in the first instance, press for
severe penalties, but be satisfied with a sufficient pe-
nalty to cover the costs of the proceedings.
Mr. Chambers said, as the Act was a final one, and
the penalties were severe, he should require the
strictest proof that the defendant was the owner of the
barge, that the goods were carried for hire, that tha
defendant was not a freeman of the Waterman's Com-
pany, &e.
Mr. Wire then proceeded to call and examine his
witnesses in support of the information.
Mr. Banyon, clerk to the Watermens' Company,
proved that the defendant and Joseph Bent had a
barge registered 1,369, called the "Fly ;" that he
knew the defendant, William Bent, who was a wood-
monger, and not a freeman of the Watermens'
Company.
Mr. Vale, shipping clerk to the Coal Exchange,
proved that a cargo of coals on board the ship X L
was sold by Mr. Metcalf, the factor, to Messrs. Fel-
ton and Son.
Mr. Felton proved the handwriting of his son to
the bought note, and Messrs. Perriman and Senior
proved the delivery of a part of the cargo of the
X J into the Fly on Messrs. Felton's account.
Leach, a waterman, proved that he had worked the
Fly for Mr. Bent.
John Henry Kent, the defendant's servant, proved
that he took the barge Fly down to the X L by di-
rection of the defendant or his clerks ; that it was
loaded with Felton's coals, and was numbered 1,369,
and had the name " W. Bent," as the owner, painted
thereon.

Each witness was cross-examined at considerable
length by Mr. Chambers, who made every effort to
prevent the reception of everything but what he de-
nominated " strict legal evidence" on the occasion.
Alderman GIBBS intimated his opinion that the
case had been proved,
Whereupon Mr. Chambers, in a most able address,
urged that the case had not been proved, that if the
defendant were to be convicted, the waterman would
suffer more than his client ; that the Act of Parlia-
ment was a most absurd one ; that looking at it as a
whole, he was of opinion the Legislature must have
been tipsey when it passed such a Bill, or that the
clauses which were so dangerous had been thrown
into it in Committee, without coherence and without
adequate consideration. That the clauses upon which
it was intended to fix the defendant .were irrecon-
cilable, and could not be fairly combined together,
and that if taken separately, there was no one of
them upon which his client could be fixed with a
penalty. Mr. Chambers also argued that the infor-
mation was insufficient and informal.
Alderman GIBBS said in delivering judgment he
was clearly of opinion that the fact was established,
that the information had been sustained by sufficient
evidence, and that he ought therefore to convict the
defendant.
Mr. Chambers gave notice of appeal, and it was ar-
ranged that the other case should stand over.
Mr. Bent was prevented by illness from attending
personally, and the Alderman did not name the sum
in which he convicted the defendant, as the conviction
is to be dated from the day on which the personal
appearance shall be made, in accordance with the ne-
cessary forms preparatory to the appeal.
GUILDHALL.
ROBBERY IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.—John Edmoston.
and Roberts, were placed before Mr. Alderman
Johnson, charged with stealing from the person of
Mr. Phillips, a law stationer, of Bedford-row, the sum
of 41., and a silver tooth-pick.
Mr. Phillips, the prosecutor, stated that he hardly
'recollected what occurred, as he was intoxicated. Ire
never saw the prisoner before. He recollected that
the prisoner Edmoston, struck him in the eye, and
put his hand in his pocket at the same time. It was
the pocket in which the gold was. He afterwards
found that four sovereigns were gone.
Two other witnesses, however, gave evidence which
strongly inculpated the prisoners, and the Alderman
committed them for trial.
QUEEN-SQUARE.
John Dyer, eating-house- keeper, Broadway, West-
minster, was charged by James Martin, with com-
mitting a brutal assault upon a person at present in
the hospital on account of the injuries he had received.
He stated that when sitting at his parlour window
he saw defendant pushing a poor squalid-looking
wretch out of his house ; that on the pavement he
struck him twice or thrice. That he pushed him
down, and his head came in contact with the kerb-
stone, and the blood burst in torrents from his eats
mouth, and nose. He was conveyed to the hospital.'
Did not know the injured man himself, but thought
it his duty to bring the case before the Magistrate.
The prisoner, in his defence, stated that the party
injured came into his place, ordered a penn'orth of
cabbages, and, using
.very abominable language, he
was obliged to order him out. He immediately threw
a quantity of the cabbage in his (defendant's) face,
when he certainly pushed him, and struck him, but
had no intention of causing the injuries, for which
he expressed his deep sorrow.
The MAGISTRATE remanded the case for a week, to
ascertain how the wounded man gets on, and ordered,
defendant to find bail, himself in 1001., and twe
sureties in 501. each.
Sureties were found for his further appearance.

WESTERN ClRCUlT—Bristol, Aug. 26.
:Before Mr. Justice WianTmax and Special Juries

MICIIELLS V. WILLIAMS. -
This was an action to recover damages for a mali-
cious prosecution. Both the parties were clergymen.
The plaintiff rented a house of the defendant with a
right of sporting. There were differences between
them ; and in May or June the plaintiff cut away the
dam of a fish-pond which was in the defendant's
ground, in order to let the water off, that he might
catch the fish, alleging that it was with the knowledge
and consent of the defendant's agent. The defendant,
however, denied this, and laid an information against
the plaintiff before two Magistrates of Carmarthen.
A summons was issued, and the plaintiff went before
the Magistrates, who, having heard the charge, de-
cided on committing him for trial. He was, however,
admitted to bail until the assizes, when an indictment
was preferred against him, which, however, the Grand
Jury ignored; and he now brought his action for this
prosecution. The defendant contended that he had
reasonable grounds for what he did, that the plaintiff
did not sport in the regular way, but snared hares
and threw lime into the trout streams, and that the
cutting away the dam was done with a malicious motive.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da-
mages, 4001.
