MILL.

Mr. Burscox rose to make a motion. " That female prisoners
in the Houses of .Correction in this County be exempted from- the
labour of the tread-wheel." He deScribed the result of
some. of his own observations relative to the punish-
' meut of females by the tread-mill, both as to its phy-
sical and moral tendency. With regard to its physical effects on the
constitutions of females, the fact of some countries 'having I
only allowed them to work three weeks out of four would, per. 1
haps, be a sufficient proof, that relaxation was allowed from the
knowledge of the different habits of women from the other sex.
Mr. COURTNEY here interrupted Mr. Briscoe, and moved that
the Cmart be cleared, as it would not be proper for• such discus-
s:ons to go forth to the public. No Magistrate, however, se-
conding the immaculacy of Mr. Courtney, Mr. Briscoe proceeded.
He: should not utter a word which might not be listened te, by
a court of women, or the wives of his brother Magistrates. • He
was prepared :for interruption, for opposition', and fin'
every other sort of defiance, that should be opposed to his
public duty.. He then went into his reasons for sup-
port .of the motion at too great length for our li-
mits. Several other Magistrates spoke on this important ques-
tion, hut for want of room we must defer a full report till to-mot,

MAIDSTONE WINTER ASSIZES.

John Peel was put to the bar on a charge of forging four Bills
of Exchange. It will be recollected that the prisoner was in-
dicted at the last Assizes ; he then pleaded guilty in the first in-
stance, but was afterwards allowed to retract his plea, and the
trial was put off till the present Assizes, on account of the absence
of a material witness.

Mr. POLLOCK: now applied to the Court, on behalf of the pri-
!loner, for leave to retract the plea of not guilty.
And, after a suitable caution from Mr. Justice GAZELEZ, the
plea ofguilty was recorded.

The Learned .JCDGE then, in the. most impressive manger,
proceeded to pass sentence of death, entreating the prisoner to
dismiss from his mind all hope of mercy, as none could be ex-
tended to him,

Mr. BoLLANn and Mr. LA w were retained for the prosecution.
John Conolly was indicted for stealing in the dwelling house
of Lieutenant Ford, an Officer of Marines, at Woolwich, on the
Ist of November last, a gold watch, of the value of five guineas.
Mr. War.su conducted the prosecution, and Ar. ...r. —LA RKSON
the defence.

From the evidence, it appeared, that, on the day in question
about noon, the prisoner was discovered by the wife of the prose-
cutor, in the parlour of his house, the window of which had been
left open. She inquired his business, whereupon, without making
.any reply, the prisoner jumped out of the window. She instantly
mired her watch from the mantle-piece. The prisoner was pur-
sued, and taken; and, on being asked what he had done with the
watch, pointed out a hedge, behind which he had thrown it; and
it was picked up by the witness who apprehended him.
The prisoner said nothing in his defence : and the Jury, after
some deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of stealing under the
value of 40 shillings.
He was sentenced to be transported for seven years.
No case of interest occurred before Mr.. Justice Palm.

HERTFORDSHIRE SESSIONS, JAX. 8.

The Quarter Sessions for this county commenced this dq,
before Lord DAME, and a very full Bench of Magistrates. The
business first entered upon was on the hearing of appeals.
WILLIAM CLA RICSON, ESQ.. V. THE CHURCHWARDEN AND

OVERSEERS OF TIM PARISH OF RAIDOCK.
This was an appeal against the rate or assessment for the poor
in the parish of Baldock, made in September last, on the ground
chiefly that it was an unfair assessment, by reason of the property
of several persons not being assessed at all. The appellant is an
independent gentleman, who has exerted himself to equalize the
rates for the poor. The case, which has excited considerable local
interest, came on last sessions, when an objection was taken, on
behalf of the respondents, to the notice of appeal, which, instead
of being written and signed by the appellant (as directed by the
act), was printed, signature and all.
Mr. BaonEatcx and Mr. MternousE were heard at some
length in support of the notice, allegin-, that the spirit of the Act
was complied with, which meant 'nerd; to disallow verbal notices.
The COURT, however, decided against the validity of the notice.
Mr. BRODERICK then put in the second notice.

Mr. JEssorr and Mr. -RYLAND objected, that it was now out
of time ; the party was bound to appeal at the next practicable Ses-
sions, and to give notice prior to the appeal.
Mr. BRODERICK contended, that there was a fallacy in the ar-
guments of the other side, which mixed up the questions respect-
ing the appeal and the notice; he would agree to refer the whole
question to any respectable surveyor, and to let the costs abide
the results of his-decision.

After some deliberation, it was agreed that Mr. Jackson, a sur-
veyor, should go over the parish, and ascertain whether any and
what property was omitted in the assessment, and upon his report
the Court should adjudge the costs.
The calendar contains no cases of any moment.

THE LATE DUKE OF YORK.

(I:REMONIALS TO BE OBSERVED AT THE FUNERAL OF
HIS ROYAL HIVHNESS THE DUKE OF YORK.

It appears that his Majesty has signified his pleasure that the
utmost possible respect`shall be paid to the remains of his Royal
Highness the Duke of York, and for this purpose, consultations
were yesterday held between Mr. Mash, of the Chamberlain's
Office, the Officers of the Herald's College, and Mr. Bailey, his
Majesty's Upholsterer, who has had, upon former occasions, to
carry into effect the arrangements made foi- the interment of some
of the members of the Royal Family.
THE BODY.

We stated' yesterday that it was the wish of his Majesty that
the body of the deceased should be disembowelled and embalmed
in the usual way; but it now seems, from the state to which it
has been reduced, that the ceremony of disembowelling cannot be
performed, and that the attention of the medical men will be
confined to such means as are, beat calculated to prevent further
decay. Up to yesterday, the body remained as it had been laid
out by Mr. Bailey, on a board, whirls was placed on a couch, in
the same room in which the deceased breathed his last, and was
constantly watched by persons appointed for that purpose. The
leaden coffin was taken to Arlington-street on Sunday night, and
in all probability the body was placed within it yesterday evening.
The outer ease, which will be covered with rich crimson Genoa
velvet, is in the hands of the workmen,. and will be finished as
soon as possible; and this done, the plate containing the. titles of
the deceased, will be furnished by the Herald's College, and placed
upon it. After this it will he removed to Arlington-street; and
the leaden coffin having been enclosed, it will he placed on tressles,
there to remain, until conveyed to St. James's Palace.

SURREY SESSIONS.

Yesterday these Sessions commenced at Horsemonger-lane.
THE FETCHAM MURDERS.
Mr. H. SUMNER had to call the attention of the Court to a
subject of great consideration to the county. It was generally re-
ported that a most enormous sum of money had been expended in
the prosecution of Cobbler Will and Mary Ann Ayres, and that the
county had been run to unnecessary expense by the officers, &c.,
employed on the occasion. As the treasurer for the county was
present, he would ask him, whether there were any charges, and
what they were, made in the case of Cobbler Will ?
Mr. SMALLPIECE, the treasurer, was not prepared then to
answer the question, not having the necessary documents in Court.
Mr. SUMNER merely asked for information, but the treasurer
did not appear prepared to answer him.
Mr. PAGE, a Magistrate, said, that Government had ordered
541. to be paid, but he understood that the officers had run the
county to a vast expence, and. although that sum bad been ordered
by Government to be paid, a sum of 170/. has been demanded by
them.

Mr. PALLMER, M.P., inquired how much had been expended
in the case altogether ?—He was answered, 4001.
Magistrate.—l hope that the county members will take the
matter into their serious consideration, and prevent such excess in
future.

The Baron DE TE/SSIER asked the Court, whether it was pos-
sible that runners or other officers were suffered on such occasions
to go about in chaises and four?
Mr. Enc En.-I believe not.
Baron DE TEISSIER.—In one case I am sure it was so, and I
am determined to object to the county paying such excessive ez-
pences.

Magistrate--Two sums have been already paid.
Mr. HEDGER knew that the Secretary of State had ordered
54/. to he paid into the quarterly account.
Here several of the Bench concurred that it was necessary to
form a committee to investigate the matter, and correct such
abuses, if they existed.
Baron DE TEISSIER mentioned one instance where an Union-
hall officer charged 60/. to three days' expenses, in the case of a
wan who was indicted for murder:
Another Magistrate mentioned, with a degree of astonishment,
that 771. had been charged for the bringing. forward of the wit-
nesses in the case of Cobbler Will.
Mr. PALLmer thought the expenses most exorbitant, and said
there were materials enough to warrant a thorough investigation
by_a committee.
Mr.' SUMNER agreed with prosecuting an instant inquiry.
Mr. DENtsoN agreed that it was absolutely necessary.
It was ultimately resolved, that a committee should be ap-
pointed to inquire into the expenses ; that application should be
made to the Judges, &c. and the result be made known to the
Court.

CITY, (Tuts DAY), Twelve o' Clock.
Consols have advanced this morning ; they opened at so

and for money, 80i t. The Bulls are threatening the poor
Bears with hints of the enormous sum of Consols they mean to
take at the settling day, which the suspicions of the latter induce
them to believe; this is only a ruse de guerre to get rid of more
stock. India Bonds are 45 i ; and Exchequer Bills 24 6. With
respect to the Foreign Funds, we can only repeat that they are
all very flat and inanimate; Mexican Bonds do not move, and
are 65 ; Colombian, 34i ; Portuguese, 75 6 ; Greek, 1617 ;
Russian, 864 ; and Spanish, 13 i• Nothing new can be said
relative to Shares, and prices remain nominally the same as they

THE FUNERAL.

The Funeral will take placa on Saturday week, and the caval-
cade will move in procession from St. James's Palace to the Cas-
tle at Windsor, without stopping. On this occasion, all the
military which can be spared from actual duty will be called into
requisition, as it is intended to embrace every military honour
which can be suggested. All the yeomanry corps in the vicinity
of the metropolis will also, no doubt, volunteer their services on
the occasion, and minute guns will probably be fired throughout
the movements of the cavalcade.

• The body will be placed-in an elegant hearse, bearing the arms
of the deceased, and will be drawn by eight of his Majesty's black
horses, which will be relieved at stated places. All the church
bells of the metropolis, and the country, will continue to toll
throughout the day, and no doubt the public will vie with each
other in manifesting their respect and affection fur the memory of
a Prince, whose conduct tlu•ough life had rendered him so deser-
vedly popular. The ceremony of Lying in State would have
taken place at the Castle of Windsor; but the fact is, that from
the state of that noble edifice at the present moment, arising
from the alterations in progress, there is not a suit of rooms ca-
pable of being devoted to such a purpose, with any thing like
convenience.
London, England, 1827-01-10

THE INTERMENT.

It is expected that the cavalcade will reach *Windsor by eleven
o'clock at night ; awl the road, for the latter part of the jonrney
will be illumined by torches.
OA the body reaching the Castle, it will he immediately carried
to St. George's Chapel, where it will he placed on tressels, in the
centre aisle, till the mourners, and other persons who will be ap-
pointed to follow it to the vault, shall have been duly marshalled.
The procession will then move on to the interior of the Chapel ;
and the coffin will be placed under a canopy which will be pre-
pared for the purpose, and at the closing scene, after the Funeral
Service shall be read, will be gradually lowered into the passage
which leads to the Royal Mausoleum. Garter King at Arms will
then proclaim the styles and titles of theideceased in the customary
form.

The. State Coffin is preparing with die speeil, The ornaments
are to be gilt ; they are mannfactoring by Mr. Ricketts, in Cas-
tle-court, in the Strand, and are to he emblematical of the dig-
nity of the deceased as a Prince of the Blood. They will con-
sist of the Coronets of the Royal Duke, massive tablets or han-
dles, D. Y., and palm leaves at the corners ; in all amounting to
forty-four plates, all of them highly burnished. A large plate is
to be on the lid, with the following inscription, which was is-
sued from the Heralds' College on Monday

This was the day the Lord Chancellor appointed to resume hiR,

at a quarter to eleven o'clock.

The lunatic and bankrupt lists were posted in the hall, and
after a few preliminaries, the Court proceeded to hear the luna-
tic petitions.

PRACTICE OF OPENING BANKRUPT COMMISSIONS.

Mr. AIONTAGUE stated that a commission of bankrupt bad
been taken out against one partner of a firm, another commission
against the other partner, and a third, a joint commission,
against both the parties ; all the three commissions had been di-
rected to the 13th list of commissioners, who doubted whether
they ought to open the whole. The learned counsel submitted
that they were bound to open all the Commissions.

His LORDSHIP'S opinion was, that the Commissioner 04,kikito
open them all, because it might turn out upon the opening,'that
some of them could not be supported.

CHILIANAND PERUVIAN MINING-COMPANIES
(Tiii.q DAY.) •

A Meeting was convened this day, at the City of London Ta-
vern, of such of the Shareholders of the Chihan and Peravian
Mining Companies as were disposed to join i 4 fotininK a. new
Company, to be called " The Consolidated Chillan Mining Com.
pany."

Mr. CAztNovn, upon being called to the_Chair, briefly stated
the object of the meeting. He said that the information which
the Directors of the Chilian and Peruvian Mining Companies
were in possession of, led them to suppose that mining and smel
ting might be carried on with tulvantage in Chili, upon an eco-
nomical system.
It was then resolved that it was expedient to form a New Corn
pans-, and that the capital should be limited to 100,0001. which
should he divided into 10,000 shares, of 101. each, payable as
follows :

MIDDLESEX SESSIO&S.-J:,, 9,

Henry Fuller was indicted for assaulting Win. John Taylor,
a Sheriff's officer, while in the discharge of his duty, by present-
- ing a loaded pistol at him.
Mr. Pintlaps, on the part of the prosecution, stated, that the
defendant was a gentleman whose name had become familiar to
the_public in consequence of his having, unfortunately, been the
object of recent depredations in Bethnal-greeu. The learned
Counsel then detailed the facts of the case, of which, as proved by
the witnesses, the following is a short outline :—The defendant
had been sued in the Palace Court for 11/. ; but throughout the
pleadings lie was described by the name of Joseph, instead of
Henry, and he, therefore, took no notice of the proceedings. The
plaintiff having obtained judgment against him, placed the writ in
the hands of the prosecutor; who together with two other officers,
or assistants, proceeded to the .house of the defendant, for the
purpose of executing it. Calculating upon some difficulty in
obtaining admission, the following stratagem was resorted
to :---One of the officers bound up his arm and slung it
in a handkerchief, and then knocked at the door, which in
compliment to his supposed broken arm (the defendant being
a surgeon), was immediately thrown open, and they all pro-
ceeded to the defendant's surgery, where the prosecutor explained
to him the object of their visit, and showed him the writ. The
defendant declared he did not owe the money, and would not be
arrested : the prosecutor then, -to complete the caption, touched
the person of the defendant, who thereupon drew a pistol from
his trousers' pocket, and levelling it at the prosecutor's head, de-
dared that he would shoot him, if he attempted to arrest him ;
upon which the officers seised him, and took him out of the house
by force. He also objected that the writ was against Joseph
Fuller, and not against him. When they had got a little way,
the defendant asked permission to send hack fur his hat, which
was accordingly done, and the officers at the same time releas-
ed their hold of him. He was then told to walk on, but he
refused to do so, and having his right hand in his trousers'
pocket, he was heard, as it was then supposed, to cock a pistol ;
upon which he was immediately searched, and a pistol, with
a stop-lock, taken from his pocket. It was not, however,
cocked, but the bolt had been drawn back to admit of its being
cocked ; and upon its bejng subsequently examined, it was found
to be loaded with powder and ball, (which loading, together with
the pistol, was produced in Court.) The officers immediately
preferred a bill of indictment against him, and went before the
Grand Jury, which was sitting at the time.
The Jury returned a verdict cf Guilty.
The defendant was ordered to he brought up for judgment on
Saturday morning.

THE BARON OF RENFREW.

(From the Glasgow Courier, Jan. 6.)
The following is a copy of a letter addressed by Mr. Secretary
Peel to Archibald Campbell, EN., of Blythswood, dated White•
hall, Jan. 2, 1827:

" MY DEAR Sta—The King has heard with much satisfac-
tion, that local exertions continue to be made in the county of
Renfrew, for the mitigation of the distress which has ♦isited,
with such peculiar security, some of the manufacturing classes of
that county; and that it is intended there should be a public
assembly on the 11th of January, for the benefit of those who
have the double claim of having been exposed to severe priva-
tions, and having borne them with the utmost patience and forti-
tude. The King cannot on this occasion forget that he is Baron
of Renfrew, and desires to contribute, in that capacity, the sum
of 100/., in aid of the profits of the intended assembly.
" I am, my dear Sir, your's, most faithfully,
(Signed) " ROBERT PEEL.

MAR SE TUE $.

A marriage had lately been agreed upon between the
son and daughter of two respectable tradesmen in the
City of Aix ; the banns had been proclaimed, the contract
drawn up, and the fatal yes was alone wanting. On the
day N-v hen the sacramental monosyllable was to have been
pronounced, it was found that the bridegroom had with-
drawn from the happy state which awaited him ; upon
which the father immediately proposed to substitute in his
place another son living in this City. The young lady's
family not having any objection to the arrangement, the
young man was sent for, and anew contract drawn up, in
which the only alteration consisted in the substitution of
one christian name for another. The new bridegroom
arrived, but, upon being introduced to his intended, ex-
pressed a decided preference for her sister, and the parents,
anxious to unite the families one way or another, agreed to
have a new contract drawn up, and this extemporaneous
marriage (nuiriage impromptu) is expected to take place
very shortly. From this transaction, however, a law-suit
is likely to arise. The Notary, it appears, demands to be
paid for the drawing up of the three contracts, whereas,
the two families maintain that as there is to be but one
marriage, there ought to be but one contract paid for.

SINGULAR FACT.—A poor man, a native of Ire-
land, having gathered together a few pounds, and not liking to
have it about him, gave it to a gentleman to take care of, that he
might draw when occasion required it, but the gentleman had
not had it many days in his possession before he died. The poor
man on hearing of his death went to bed immediately, And died in
twenty-four hours After.

TO THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.

May I presume to suggest to your Grace the justice, as well as
propriety, of allowing " all" Officers, who come within the late
Regulations by their " time of service," the privilege of selling
their Commissions—at present, those who hold situations in the
Customs, Excise, Consulate, or other Departments under Govern-
ment, and whose salary exceeds three times the amount of their
half-pay, the latter is " withheld," nor are they permitted to dis-
pose of it. When the German Legion was first raised, the Offi-
cers who did not commence as Cornet or Ensign, were entitled to
only " temporary rank and pay." After the peace of 1815, his
present Majesty was graciously pleased to grant them half-pay,
they are now allowed to dispose of it also.
I hope, should these observations come to the ear of your
Grace, that the case of Officers situated as above, may be recon-
sidered, and that their half-pay (the reward of past services), will
no longer be withheld, nor the privilege of disposing of their Com-
missions ; for surely, what is given to Foreign Officers as a
" boon," may, without impropriety, be deemed something of a
" claim" by English Oftigrs, whose merits are equal.

ELECTION COMNIITTEE.-(THIS DAY.)

GALWAY.
The Committee appointed to take into consideration the peti-
tion of Mr. Lambert, the unsuccessful candidate at the late elec-
tion for Galway, against the return of Mr. IL Maitin, sat this day
at 12 o'clock.

Mr. HARR-mow addressed them on behalf of the Petitioners.
The objections against the validity of Mr. 'Martin's election, he
observed, were—lit, that Mr. Martin hired a" Mob`t6- -prevent
such freeholders as were in the interest of 'Lambert;-voting
for that candidate ;-2dly, that the P.igh*. Sheriff, who was fa-
vourable to Mr. Martin, refused to protect the 'voters ;--3111y,
that Mr. Martin had, by treating, and other corrupt prac-
tices, prevailed on several freeholders to vote r for him ;
FOurthly, that a great number of freeholders have voted seve-
ral times over for Mr. Martin, whereby he proeured a colourable
majority; and that several persons not qualified had voted in fic-
titious names, for the Hon. Member ;--and, Fifthly; that Mr.
Martin had not a sufficient estate in land or otherwise, above the
payment of his just debts, to qualify him for a" seat in the House
of Commons for the County of Galway.
The number of witnesses on both sides is very great ; but the
agents have come to an arrangement which will terminate the
labours of a Committee in a short time.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY•

TOWNSIND V. TOWWSEND•

In this case the Court mad© an order sometime ago, that cer-
tain surveyors should go over certain estates, to ascertain whether
any timber had been improperly cut ; and
Mr. HOitNE moved to-day, on the part of Lord John, that the
surveyors might at the same time ascertain and state, whether there
was any, in a state fit and proper to he cut for sale. A
former order
stated, that Lord John might he at liberty to apply to the Court,
as he might be advised, to have a reference to know what timber
was fit to be cut. 'flee present surveyors, with an umpire, had been
appointed jointly by the two Noblemen, and as it would be
a great saving of expence to the estates, that the surveyors should
look at the property with the double purpose, and as the estates
were heavily encumbered, which the sale of timber might pay off,
the Learned Counsel hoped the Court would make the order.
Mr. HART opposed the motion. His client Lord Charles,
would in the course of a few years he entitled to these estates for
life, of which Lord John was only trustee, and lie strenuously ob-
jected to any dilapidation whatever.
His Loansuip said, the power of cutting timber in this case
was in the discretion of the trustee, who was Lord John. At
the same time, this was to be exercised on the princi-
ple of cutting only in such a manner as would be best for
all parties. The Court felt it impossible, however, to make the
order, until the parties had gone before the Master. If Mr. Horne's
client, could got the aurreyors to give their opinion es to

his banker's book, and found that two checks for 150/. had
been paid, and he immediately called upon Mr. Reed, whi,
conducted the house.

Mr. MARazorT—Wlsat house do you allude to ? J
thought this was at your own house in Curzon-street, May
fair. Mr. Ford—No, Sir, at No. 5, King-street, St.James'sl.

Mr. Ford resumed, and was about to state the converSa,
tion which took place between him and Mr. Reed, when
Ire was interrupted by

Mr. MARRIOTT, who said that was not evidence.
Mr. Ford then said, that in consequence of the conver•
sation he had with Mr. Reed, he went to his solicitor, and
informed him of the circumstances, when he had the pri-
soner apprehended.

Mr. MARRIOTT inquired whether there were any wit-
nesses? Mr. Ford said there were a number of persons in
the room at the time of the transaction, and he had no
doubt he could bring them forward.

Mr. MARRIOTT inquired what were the names of the per,.
sons? Mr. Ford said he would bring forward Mr. John
Reed and Mr. Charles Stevens, who could prove that they
saw the defendant take up the draught. •

Mr. Isaacs, for the prisoner, hoped the worthy Magis-
trate would not detain the prisoner on the evidence he had
heard : perhaps the very persons named might be the per-
sons who had taken the draught.

Mr. Ma.naiorr had specifically put the questions to Mi.
Ford, who said he would bring foliward witnesses if time
were given him.

Mr: Isaacs would put some questions to Mr. Ford, Witt

the English Government; in respect to the affairs
of the East, must, be • the subject of derision.
Eager but the other day to become a party to a
Hectoring treaty of compulsory mediation be-
tween Turkey and Greece, the English Govern-
ment is now equally solicitous to avail itself of
the mediation of Austria between Turkey and
itself. There is nothing consonant with the
character of the English nation in the conduct
pursued and the feelings manifested by its GO
vernment. Nor is it possible that the British
people should entertain any other feeling than
that of contempt for an Administration which

ROBINS V. HALL.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, as
holder of a bill 'of exchange at two months for 350/.
against the defendant as the acceptor of it. The
pleas were the same,as,in the last case..
Lord TENTERDEN directed a verdict to be re-
corded for the plaintiff. He then spoke to the
Jury to this effect:—" I must say, sitting here as I
do for the benefit of the public, that the transaction
is a conspiracy which enables young men to deceive
their guardians and to ruin themselves. The young
man is himself a party to the fraud; and therefore
cannot.be allowed to take advantage of it. I wont
say how far the case would have been altered had a
third party sought to avail themselves of it."

THE KING V. ELIZABETH BRAIIAM.

The defendant in this indictmEnt was convicte.!
of keeping a house of ill-fame, named the Sidney
Hotel, in Leicester-street, Leicester-fields. The
prosecution was at the suit of the parish of St.
Anne, in which several such nuisances still remain
to be abated.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE got through his list
at two o'clock, and then rose for want of further
business.

A SINGULAR CHARACTER.—Died lately,
at Grizeburn, Ashby Mask, Mr. CrumTortiza RUDD,
yeoman. He tenanted his own land; about 150 acres,
and many of the enclosures had never been visited with
plough, scythe, horse or cow, for more than twenty years.
44 The even mead that erst brought sweetly forth
The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover,
wanting the scythe—all unconnected rank,
Conceives by idleness, and nothing teems
got hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksics, burs,
Losing both beauty and utility."
His establishment consisted of himself and a housekeeper,
and their whole farm stock of a cow and a calf, the calf
`in its twelfth year, and the cow or mother in her sixteenth ;
they have both been fed for the last nine years ; besides
these he had three bullocks, seven years old, which have
been fed for the last three years. They were tine animals,
and sold the other day with his other effects ; one of them
fetched thirty-six guineas. In his yard stood a stack Of
oats which has been perched there for three and heady
years, with no other than its original covering, except an
old harrow or a piece of wood, thrown upon it to keep it
together. When set op he told his man to give it wily a
slight thatching, as he should want it directly, which
directly never arrived. During last year he purchased hay
at Is. per stone, while his own grass had perished on the
field.. Such are a few of the peculiarities of this eccentric•
