11.8.0-NiriCrS4it 'AtitAL. itsTIVITY.

The Festival given in Petworth Park, on the
27th of July, to the Freeholders- of the County
of Sussex, id honour of the late Election of BUIL-
REEL...and CURTEIS, calls to our reCollection thOse
scenes of ancient English munificence and splen-
did -hospitality which - were exhibited in days of
yore. The number of respectable and indepen
dent Freeholders, who had previously signified
their intention of being present at this dinner,
amounted to about one thousand; but all who
came, whether they had sent notice or not, were
equally welcome, the. preparations for their ac-
commodation being upon the most extensive
scale.
A space of 60 .yards by 40 yards 'had been
marked out upon the lawn in front of the man-
sion ;
,the whole of this ample space was formed
into one ornamental room, covered with canvass,
and decorated with the colours. of the. United
Kingdoth; and other flags- appropriate to the oc-.
casion. The front by, which. the company entered
was brilliantly illuminated 'With festoons of co-
loured lamps ; within the room were twenty-
eight tables, each thirty-six feet long, and laid
for forty guests, affording comfortable accornmo-
dation for eleven hundresd and twenty-six Free-
holders-; the centre 'tables being decorated with
all the-G,old Cups won by the'Vetworth stables
to the right and left of the entrance of this splen-
did-Tapia were stationed marenees, with the
bands of the Sussex Militia and -19til Lancers,
and joining on to it a-further booth for the redcap=
time of any Freeholders who could not find places
in the priacip.al room.
The dinner was served, at four o'clock, in the
best order ; it was sent to table from the spacious
kitchens of the adjoining mansion, and from
twenty-four lemporary kitchens fitted up in a row
brtlie side Of the Wall of the pleasure ground ;
besides a, 'profusion: of butcher's meat, pastry,
poultry, hams, &c. there were served up fourteen
fat bucks, and every. description of fruit which
the season could afford.

It was satisfactory to observe, .that not the
'slightest confusion occurred in the distribution of
.the company to their respective places, nor dur-
ing the whole of the entertainment, -A hich was
kept up to a very late hour with -the utmost har-
mony and conviviality.
. .
The day was; fortunately, beautiful, and, in
additiOn to the number of Freeholders who sat
down, many, thousands, of spectators, attracted
by the grandeur of the scene, enjoyed themselves
by dancing- and other munrSetnents, in the Park,
and -were all :liberally provided with refresh-
ments of .various descriptions till long after mid-
night, when they gradually retired from the
festive sperts of the day.
The wines Werettf .the first quality,- and, as
It would have— been impossible to have supplied.
such a .number of persons in. the ordinary way
froth the bins of the cellar, these wines, as well
as the punch, -negus, :and other liquors, were
slung in pipes and puncheons in a temporary
room fitted up for the purpose-, by the side of the
great dinner tent, and from which they, were
drawn off and .served. with the most unbounded
profusion to all who called for them.
If any thing.were necessary to fill up the mea-
sure of liberal hospitality, it was atrorded in the
fullest rxtent, by the tables on the ensuing: day
being covered the plentiful remains of the
feast, for a great number of tradesmen and la-
bourers,who joyfully_ and thankfully .met toge-
ther„ thus terminating the festive scene.
CoI..GEO.IIt:E 'WYNDHAM most ably-presided
at .the dinner of the 27th, and by his_attention
and affability to every one, left no wish ungra-
tified.

TUE•. KING V. WINTERISOTILIM AND WILITTAKiII.

In addition to the witnesses mentioned in the
former aCcount, Mr. Wood, a'snrgeorr, was called
to prove the dangeroUs nature of the wound in-
flicted on Corporal Colliday, and the landlord of
the public house where th affray' took place was
also called.

The defendants Called several Witnesses, who
attempted to skew that the soldiers began the
assault, Init.they varied much in their testimony.
The Jury said it was unnecessary for the Chair-
man to sum up the evidence, and immediately
found both the prisoners- Guitty.
After a short consqllation, the Bench proceed-
ed to pass sentence. Mr. 11.%. v, the Chairman., ad-
dressed the prisoners in a most impressive and ever=
getic Manner. To Cheetham, Who was convicted
on two indictments for seditious words and assaults,
he. stated that the words spoken by him were of a
most seditious, wicked, and diabolical nature,
and had been so clearly provect, that the Jury
had found him *guilti without turning round to
consider of their verdict. As sentence was to
he_ passed upon him for another offence,, the Cotirt
would not punish this with the severity which
they othisrw ise might hive done. As to the other
indictment, facts had 'been proved against him
wherein he evinced a great malignity of dispo-
sition. Ile had purposely followed, several times,
into another room, an unarmed soldier, who had
cti ished to avoid him, and here inhumanly assault-
ed him ; not only this but some tame before on
meeting.him in the street, he had threatened ill
treatment to him, which, the moment he heard the
soldiers were about to leave the town, he attempted
to put in execution. The sentence of the Court was,
that, he should, for the first indictment, be im-
prisoned in the. New Bailey for six months; and,
for the second, for' twelve montli more ; that he
should find sureties to keep the peace for two
years more, himself in 401. and two sureties in
201. each.

To the other
_priSoners, Winterbotham and
Whittaker, the Chairman stated, that their con-
duct towards the soldiers had shewn a most de-
termined disposition to insult and abuse men who
had done every thing hi their power to avoid
quarrelling. They had' remonstrated with the
pristmers, and they had 'endeavoured to leave
and avoid them'; how different indeed had been
the conduct of the soldiers to that of the pri-
sonei.s and-their 'companions! The prisoners had
amongst other expressions of contumely even
called the soldiers b----y butchers ; expressions
which had been inculcated by numerous seditious
publications. He hoped, however, that after
they had quitted the Court, they would reflect
how differently froth then], how much more manly
and honourably the soldiers had acted. The con-
ddc't of the soldiers during- the abusiNe treatment
of them, arid 'their "becoming demeanour in Court,
had shewn them to be fully entitled to the ho-
nourable charact=.r 'of British soldiers. The sen-
tence of this Court, concluded the Learned
Chairman, is, that you be imprisoned two •years
each hi the New Bailey, am! find sureties to
keep the peace for two years further, yourselves
iii 401., and two sureties in 201. each.

The Sessions closed late oil :Friday night, after
a laboriiiiis' sitting of eieventhiys.

NORFOLK ASSIZES.
,NORWICH, JULY 24,

EXTENSIVi: Ronmty.---John Lanham, James
Lanham, George Lanham, Chistopher Haverston,
Henry JIM, William Haverston; Benjamin Tax.,
ten, Christopher Mann, and Isaac Hill, were in-
dicted for stealing a large quantity of coals, the
property of Matthew Squire and Henry Riches,
merchants in Norw ich.
It appeared from the evidence that the whole
of the priSoners are watermeii, and the two last
in the indictment were in the employment of The
prosecutors, who intrusted them with the conduct
of the wherries and barges from Norwich to
Yarmouth. In consequence of some alarmingde-
ficiencies in the quantity of coals,'and the 'differ-
ence between the invoices at Yarmouth and
Norwicia,- the prosecutors were induced to suspect
the prisoners ; and in order to detect them', the
son of 'Air. Riches and the son of Mr. Johnson,
keeper of the Castle, wz.nt into a small skill* near
a wherry, •which was in coinpany with that on.
board of -which the two prisoners were. The
wherry, on ail-lying at Reedham, stopped, on
which the prisoners broke open the bar of the
hatches, and the rest of the prisoners came near
the wherry in skiffs, when f laTge quantity of
coals were given them; which they'pueinto an
empty wherry. The whole of the prisoners
were subsequently apprehended, as was also a
receiver of the name of James Porter; who was
put to the bar, and tried with the others; on a
charge of receiving- the property,- he knowing it
to have been stolen.
