RIOT AT NVIIITEHAVEN.

About two o'clock on Monday morning some
qintoirens of people, chiefly women and boys, at-,
tacked a vessel, belonging to Workington, Capt.
• STU BUS, lying in Whitehaven harbour, and tak-
ing a cargo of potatoes for Ireland, and carried
off nearly the whole cargo. Nine carts, contain-.
ing about fifteen lVincliester -bushels of potatoes
each, arrived in Lowther-street about five o'clock,
on their way to the vessel, and hearing of the
riot, returned back, but being pursued and over-
taken, the carts were upset, and the potatoes-, as
well as the sacks on the top of the'carts, com-
pletely carried away in ten minutes. Exegnsive
of the loss of these, that of the cargo is estimated
at :Amin 25.01. About nine .o'clock ate civil .pnWer
had dispersed the assemblage, but as ktoensure of
precaution, it was thought advisable to send an
express to Ca ri:sle for the assistance horse
tri.tr!ered three and about nine O'clock in the
evening a t,u,p of diegoobs set off from that
place, and nt ra.cd cal ly the morning at White-

The rioters consisted almost 'exclusively of the
wives ttind children of the colliers.

Two men and two women, one of the former of
the name of Nutley, w ere. brought to the jail

prehended and dismissed. •One of the principal
rioters, Who abused awl struck at the Magistrates,
has made his escape, but we notlerstind that a re-
ward will be ()titled for his apprehension.

It is a curious circumstance that alongside of the
plundered vessel lay a sloop with the saute de-
scription of cargo ; but the owner being consi-
dered by the mon as a charitable person, very
little of his Cargo was taken.—(Carlisle Journal.)

SEDUCTION.-At the petty 'Sessions held at
Plymouth Towty-liall, on Tl:•s'd'ay last, a circum-
Stance of a most afflicting natine came before the
Magistrate s.—Atnongst the rionther of unlortnnate
females who had been apprehended as disorderly
persons, and then under exatiiin.-on, Was a most
interesting young- girl, about 15 years of age, of
excellent manners and address, who says her
name is There,sa Mary Ann. Wellington Camp-,
bell. The account she gives of herself is, that she
was horn at Dundee, and. is the daughter of an
Officer of the 5.h, or Enniskillen Dragoons, who
vas killed at the battle of Watol9o; that she was
placed by her mother, on her return to England,
with a Mrs. Anne More, who kept a Ladies'
boarding-school in Duke-street,' Glasgow, from
whence, after being ihere a few Months, she was
taken off by a Colonel James ; that after stay-
ing some days in 'Tullio') they went to Ply-
mouth-dock, tind were at .an hotel,
.where she
passed for his daughter ; that they proceeded
imp Cornwall, from Whence it was the in-
teution.of her paramour to take her to Scilly,-
bid being unwilling to cross' the water she
returned to Deck, and, for want of money
was linable to proceed in search of her friends.—
She says'she has a brother, now a Surgeon in the
6th and an uncle by the name of
Campbell, a Captain in the Royal Navy, residing
at Edinburgh, but ..titer mother's address she does
not correctly know. :rriler situation has caused
great interest in her ibehalf. The Overseers of

are making every exertion to discover her rela-
tives.

of pickpockets, to the number of nearly 100, who

alartir of "Thief and immediately sprung upon
one young man named Daniel, whom they knock-
ed thotp- and kicked most barbarously. The cry
0f,40, Thief !" had the effect of frightening the
pitssengers, and none but his friends stopped to
live succour to the unfortunate young man (Who
this time was ne'atly insensible),.and these be-
ing only :ton: or five, were soon disposed of by
the for ',ridable gang of plunderers. Towards

the fighting; ,tuln, came up, and succeeder) in

COURT OF KING'S BENCH,SIAutANT's INN lIALL,Nuv. 2.

BULLOCK V DoDDI.

Mr. Justice BAILEY th;s day pronounced the.
judgment of the Court in the above case, which..
was'argned on Friday last ; and the.chiet prints
of which were stated in our Paper of the following
day. It arose out of an action upon a bill of ex-
change for 6001.; and the defence pleaded, that
the plaintiff, having 'been transported for a capital
felony, and his name not having yet appeared in
any general act of pardon, was not competent to
sae' n a 'Court of Justice. The opinion of the
Court an the first point which had been discussed,
vit. tvbether the pardon hnplied in the commuta-
tion of the first indgment for transportation be-
yond the seas takes effect as soon -as the convict
lands in the place appointed, or not till after the
period for which he is transport ed has elapsed,
clearly was, that the pardon is conditional upon
his remaining iu that place during the whole
term. This opinion the Court found to be sup-
ported by the uniform ur and expi ess
lan-
guage at all the Acts of Parliament on this sub-1
,lest, commencing 'whit the 411 i of Geo. 1. by
which the system of transportatiott was establish-.
ed ; ant) it.deed such a pros isiim was only consis-
tent with every other doctrine of our criminal
code.. The attainder continued in full twee till
the term of transportation expired ; and the ap-
pearance of the party in this country before that
period, again subjected him to all its,peualii,s,.
But there was a second point, with regard to
W:iiCh the Court' was not yet prepared to pro-
nounce any opinioo. By the Act of the 30th of
the resew King, the Goveroot of Botany Bay
Was empowered to remit any part of the sentence
under a commission from the Crown ; and it was
by virtue of a licence granted by that Officer that
. the present plaintiff had returned. This licence
was, no doubt. sufficient to operate as a bar to
rxrcntion of the attainder ; but it was a tinestitm
of considerable difficulty to detersuine whether
any thing short of a pardon under the Great Seal
could restore a person who bad received judge-
ment of death to his right or maiutaining ion ac-
tion. The Counsel who had argued this ques-
tion did not appear to have fully adverted to all
the considerations that might be brought to bear
upon this point. Whether the plaintiff had or
bad not yet procured his name to be enrolled in a
formal act of pardon did not appear on the record ;
and it must be presumed, therefore, that he had
not to that extent at least purged his original
attainder. It was-the wish of the Court, how-
ever, as the subject had not been fully gone into,
that it should be re-argued.
The rest of the day was occupied in the hearing
of two c,.ses for special argument, neicher of
which was of any general interest.
