GRAND SALE AT 'GEORGE, ROBINP,'S.

Public curiosity has rarely been excited more than on
this oceaelon. The remarks that we made on Saturday,
expianstory of the " new light" by which the " ways an 3
means" are provided for by the heirs to large hereditary
possessions, has been the mngnet to congregate all the gay
nit? .geelionahle world to George Robins's this week ; and
yesterday, 7;t'fore the sale commeneed, the large rooms'
were crowded aitil'&iok to suffocation. In his exordium lie
took the opportunity t explain the peremptory cause of
so much and such a splendid variety of property being
committed to his direction ; but he however did not fail to
remark, that however sanguine his arrtory might be to
know the name of the personage of consideration, whose
property had caused them to assemble, yet he should not
travel out of his usual coarse to indulge idle curiosity, but
persevere in his invariab!e custom never to reveal " the
secrets of the prison house." These, with many other
rdrereations, made in great humour, were received with
correspote-ling feelings, and soon after one o'clock the auc-
tion commenced. We have not space to enter into parti-
culars. The opportun?tiee were very frequent for Mr.
Robins to call his oratorical poeeers into action ; but when
tiie diflmond necklace worn by Marie Antoinette (the un-
fortunate Qttesn of France) was to be sell, he introduced
her name with such feeling and propriety, as could not fail
to awaken the interest of his auditory. The following
are the prices of a few only of the leading articles ;

LENT ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER ASSIZES, MARCH 11.

John Hunter, Esq. a gentleman of very considerable
fortune, residing near Perehore, was charged with forging
a deed relating to the title of a house situate at Pershole.
Mr. TAUNTON applied to the Learned Judge (Mr. Justice
Panic) to order that the trial should be postponed to the
next Assizel, on the ground of the illness of a material
witness.

Mr. Justice PARK—As this is a case affecting the life of
the prisoner, I think I cannot refuse the application.
31r. TAUNTON—My Lord, I believe that Mr. Hunter
can procure bail to any amount.
Mr. Justice PAitic—As this is a capital indictment, the
prisoner should give bail, himself in 2,0001., and four sure-
ties in LON.

It is understood that Mr. Hunter is a person of the
greatest respectability, and that he was one of the three
gentlemen put in nomination last year to serve the office of
Sheriff of Worcestershire.

AYLESBURY, 31ARcit 11.

THE hIARQUIS OF CHANDOS V. NEALE AND OTHEIV,

The nominal defendants in this action were certain la-
bourers and others, having no " gentle blood" in their
veins, but the real defendant was Lord Carrington. It
was an action of trespass, for pulling down a certain wall
which the plaintiff had built on a piece of land, situate in
the borough of Wendover, and which was part of a housti
intended to have been erected. Issue being taken, both on
the property of the land and on the extra violence and pro-
stration, the cause came on for trial. The fact was, that
the whole of the disputed land was exactly of the length
of three feet and a half—an extent of ground which the
pleadings in the cause would, in all probability, haves
covered.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 5/.
