CONSTABLES.

It has been stated, that a very great defect in
thi'artatigetneut of -the Police is a want of ready
and certain means in seeking the protection of a
constable-, in cases of stteet7rOhbery or wipro-
v.,Wed perional insult ?--There is not a time, night
ov day/that police-officers Cannot he found at the
etahlislonent at 111 m-street, at the moment; and
they hive the orders of the 'magistrates to give
asi►i►ta++ce to any person when required.

Are you aware that there is a practice at New-
'castle, HMI in..otber towns in thei north of Eng-
laml, which. 6 considered there as facilitating very
much the execotion of pnbliejtwice, namely, the

three or four inches long, ‘‘ William Williams,
Constable ?"-1 was not aware that that practice
existed.

be universally adopted do bot "know

man, the situation of a consritble, could be

met), one,of whom is named Sy/cester, the other'
Ibbotson, were brought to the Office upon suspi-
cion Of being aecessary to a robbery committe4 a
few days ago alum the Norwich Mail. The sub-
stance of the evidence is as follows
A parael,, coot sitting Bank-notes, &c. was di-
rected from Norwich to the Banking-home of
Messrs.:Hankey and Co. and placed with the usual
caution in the Mail. 'Upon the arrival of the
coach in London, it was found that blank paper
had been. substituted in place of the notes. The
guard and coach Man suspected a passenger who
stopped at Ilford; but they suspected' him when
it was too late. On Friday last Ibbotson
pte-
sented a 5/, note at the above-mentiotted Back-
ing-house, when it was immediately recognized
as one of those that had been stolen, He said
he had received it from Sylvester, of Aldgate-
street , for the pbrpose of procuring smaller notes.
This statement was acknowledged by Sylvester to
be true. He bad, he Mentioned, received it front
a person wholly unknown tit him, in the cotirse of
his ordinary business, the address of which per-
son was nothing more than Ittonford.
The Long MAvort said, there was not sufficient
evidence ht fore hint: to warrant the committal of
the prisoners,.
A Mr. Carter, of Wailing-street, said, be hail
a case to state which might add something to that
already heard. Several months ago. he received
notice front a correspondent in Manchester, that a
parcel containing bank-notes and bank post-bills
was forwarded to him froM that place to London,
the amount of was neatly 2001. Upon ap-
plication at the 'coach-office he learned that the
property had been regularly remitted, but not re-
ceived. At the Bank of England he found that a
50/ note, and 'several othera of smaller amount,
which his cotreSpoittlent described as contained
in the parcel, had been exchanged for othets.
Sonic of the smaller notes were traced to different
hands, and two of them, bearing the names of J.
lbbotson Rod Anne Ibbotson, were produced by
the crimplainant in the Justice-room.
Ibbotsoo having, at the desire of the' Laid
Mayor, mitten his name on a piece of paper, the
writing was compared with that upon the notes,
and found to Correspond.

The prisoners were remanded for a week, and
the Lord Mayor recommended the 134 Akers to
offer a reward for the apprehension of the person
who robbed, the Mail.

DAVIS V, HARDY.

This was an action against the defendant, as
printer of the York Herald, for publishing a libel
of and collect-fling the plaintiff. - At the trial he
fore Lord ELLIMBOLIOUGH, in the Middlesex Sit-
lingt after last Term, the Jury gave the plaintiff
$ Farthing Damages.
Mr. SCARLETT now moved for a rule to shew
entiSe wht/ the judgment should not be arrested.
it will be recollected that the case was in sub-
•tance this: the plaintiff being indebted to the parish
where he resided in Scarborough for 3 quarters
of a year'. assessed taxes, which amounted to
upwards of ElOas at length paid the money to Mr,
H3utchi►►son the collector, from whom he obtained
an unstatupt receipt for .the aggregate :vim, a
stamp being unnecessary had a receipt been made
out for each q+►arter's assessment, in consequence
of this irregularity, the plaintiff instituted pro-
ceedings in the Exchequer against the collector,
whichtfereafterwardsdetermined by the collector's
being. adindged to pay costs, without any one.
A parochial meeting was after Wards held at Scar-
btlrou4h, at which resolutions .were passed upon
the cOndUct of theplaintilf, and in commendation
of the ~colleetor. The ►ibel in question,- which
was published in the defendant's paper, purported
to contain an account of this transaction as it
tt:coiled ; and concluded by a general statement,
that 'such conduct was unneighbourly,
ems, -end litigious." The Learned Counsel now
contended, in support of his motion for arresting
the judgment, that as there was nqinuendo in the
.declaratiOn, alleging that the libellous matter was
" of and concerning the plaintiff, the verdict for
is farthing damages; small as it- was, could not
ttamt. The Court granted a rule to shew cause.

THE CORNWALL MEE'

[From Flptdelt's Western Luminary.]
We have devoted a considerable portion of mit
Paper of this week to an exposition of the real
character of the late Public Meeting in COrnivell.
Our information is front the most respectable and
unquestionable sources. A meeting consisting of
less than 150 persons, who cottld read, calls itself
the "full county!' For its tent per'and discretion,'
it is enough to say, that their own Party Paper ad!.
mits,that the attempt of one of their County Mita..
bers (Mr. Tremayne) to speak his own honest sen-
timents " tended to an explosion !" when Mr;
Glynn, the most respectable man. of the party, rose
and appeased the storm. The speeches, resolutions,
and address, display all that .is violent in language,
unfounded in political fact, and insulting to the
Prince Regent. We were incorrect in stating last
week, that Sir William Lemon, the other Camay
Member, moved the resolutions That, was done
by Mr. Coleman Rishleigh ; of whom it is but
justice to say, that he did not attempt to resume

necessary stage preparations were, Made in, an

lkimnsrotici Avo. G.—The following observa-
ti ins upon the Plantations are made trout an
'actual survey which took place during cite last
week. to Sussex, where the laud is cold, there is
very much fire-blast, and even the best grounds
arc much injured by the same cause ; also where
the bind is lit a growing stile much vermin and
honey-dew arc observed, and In Some places
moult!. -

The Weald of Kent is in the sameitate as Sue=
sex, and the remaining parts lit the County clthi-
bit much fire-blast, tliuulcl, verinin, and honey-
dew, which leads to a conjecture that the crop
will not exceed three-Ibitrths. of last year.
in Many places the Hop-grounds have been_laid
completely under water, in consequence of-the
continned heavy rains, and, where this has been
the case,- the bottom leaves have turned .yellow
and fallen off.

1a Tuesday, dt a coal-work IthOW four miles
west from Glasgtiw, a tine yoimg man, about 18
-years ut age, was killed by a part of the roof
falling in. His uncle, who was working hi the
pit at the same time, it seems, had observed the
roof giving way, and, rushing forward, seized
the young man aml his brother by the breast, with
a view, if possible, to gut theft' out of the way of
danger ; he succeeded in rescuing the one, hist
the tither was instantly crushed to death. The
uncle and brwher escaped Ltuhurt.

CURIOUS CASE.

The official Keturns of Commitments, Trifls,
and Convictions, in England and Wales in 18154
have been printed by order of the House of Cont;-
'morts.! The following is .an extract, under the
head Montgomeryshire . • f
" The prisoner, John 'Lewis; within named,
having been put upon his trial, the Jury withdrew
to the jury-room, to consider- of their verdict,
and continued there undetermined, from twelve
o'clock on Thursday night, the 13th of July 1815,
until one o'clock in the afternoon of the following
day; without having agreed upon. their verdict
(the Court havingheen,in the mean time, adjourn-
ed to the dwelling-horse of George Smart, called
Ahermule, situate in the parish of Llanmerewig, in
the said county, for the purpose of taking such vet
diet); without meat, drink ~fire, or candle, when
they were so exhausted and faint, that it became
absolutely necessary that they should have refresh-
ment; eleven of the number composing such Jury
being.of opinion that the prisoner was not guilty,
and only one at them of opinion that he was
guilty ; when the eleven Jurors agreed, that.,
if they should be released from the Jury-room,
and permitted to go to the adjourned Court
at Miermule to deliver their verdict, that they
would find the prisoner guilty ; upon which the
Bailiff released them all from the Jury-roont, and
they immediately dispersed, and Many of theta took
refreshment, and afterwards went to Abermule ;
and igloo being asked by the Court there, whether
they found the prisoner guilty, or nut guilty ? one
of them answeted guilty, and several of the others
said, that they did not find hint' guilty. Upon
which a motion, Was made by the Attorney for
the prisoner in arrest of judgment, but the
Court afr. swards tali nig into consideration the
above circumstances were of opinion, no ver-
diet could he taken front that Jury,_ and imme-
diately thereupon discharged them ; and it appeerz

SHOCKING MUKDER.---,Yesterday William An-

.man, about 22. years of age, a
wateh,finisher, living at No. 12, Little Sutton-
street, ClerkenWell, was brought tip' 'in the cus-
tody of John, Hutt, the officer, charged with the
wilful untrder of John. Levy, a young man in
the 21st year of his age, apprentice to Mr. Tur-
ner, silversmith, in St. John-street-road. The
prisoner was mild looking, genteel, well-dress-
ed young man ; he appeared by no means con,
cerise(' at the awful situation in which he was
placed ;he had an iron on his right IL and. a
white handkerchief' tied as a bandage round his
head. The crowd was an excessively great, that
the outer doors of the Office were 'obliged to be
locked up, and Officers stationed to make way for
the witne.ssev, as they were called on. The first
witness was
William Kni;ht, who being sworn, said, I am
a watch. skein;;-maker, and live at No. 6, Gee-
street, Goswell-street, 1 was at the house of Mr.
Robert Rowland, the sign of the Litt and Horses,
Great Satton‘street, Clerkeowell, on Saturday
night, before the fray commenced. About a quar-
ter before twelve o'clock the prisoner came in ;
he appeared rather intoxicated,: and challenged
any person in company to play at cards for 51. :
cards were procured, and as they were going to
play, the landlord came in and took them away:
a quarrel afterwards took place between the de-
ceased and the prisoner, and they agreed to fight
I endeavoured to prevent them, but to no pur-
pose : they went into the street and fought to-
gether ; several persons were present, bat none
interfered. In the first round the deceased fell,
and was taised again ; they hail another round,
and they both fell, the prisoner being undermost ;
the deceased, on getting, up, staggered and fell ;
he was cut in the face, and was bleeding pro-
fusely. The deceased was taken to Mr;TaylOr's,
a Surgeon, where he shortly after died.
FrOm the evidence of the Surgeon and other
witnesses, it appeared that the prisoner in the
fall had secretly -stabbed the deceased with a
knife. The parties were then bound over to pro-
secute, and the prisoner was fully committed for
