ILLUMINATIONS, RIOTS, &c.

Saturday night was signalized by another illu-
mination. It was not general, except in streets
of great public resort, where the gentle saluta-
tions of the mob were likely to be used in order
to persuade the housekeepers to a spontaneous ex-
pression of joy. Throughout the evening crowds
of persons were assembled from the Mansion-
house to Charing-cross, and in Pall-mall and
Piccadilly. In Pall-mall the mob made violent
attacks upon several houses which were not
lighted up, and behaved in the most riotous man-
ner until a party of the horse Guards arrived.
A. cessation of hostilities ensued for a short time,
but they were afterwards renewed with re-
doubled fury. Two or three of the soldiers
were dismounted by the falling of their horses,
and dreadfully pelted. Several of the rioters
we understand were also severely hurt.l At
Charing-cross the house of an army clothier,
and in the Strand the offices of The Morn-
ing Post and Courier were protected by the
Life Guards from the populace, who mani-
fested the strongest desire to destroy them,
if possible. The Haymarket, Piccadilly, and
the Regent's-place, shewed darkness just ren-
dered visible by about three candles alight in
about four houses. Covent-garden, King-street,
Henrietta-street, Southampton-street, Bedford-
street, and all the streets running from the
Strand down to the water-side, did not sheer
one candle in twenty houses; Cheapside and St.
Paul's Church-yard were partially lit ; many
windows were broken, and among them those of
one of the most respectable houses in Cheapside.
In Fleet-street all was tolerably quiet, except the
throwing of squibs and occasional shoutings, un-
til past eleven o'clock, when a number of suspi-
cious-looking fellows were observed collecting
about the office of The New Times, where a man
with a cocked hat on, and bearing a green bag
in his hand, appeared to be marshalling the mob.
The lights which had been exhibited in the upper
part of the house were about this time with-
drawn, as they were also by some neighbouring
inhabitants. This served as a pretence for car-
rying into execution what, to judge from appear-
ances, was a premeditated design. For a consi-
derable length of time a continually increasing
rabble assembled round a number of men and
youths, who carried on the work of destruction
so effectually, that -the shutters, windows,
and indeed the whole front of the office, were
demolished. Even the outer and two inner
doors wt re broken through, and the building
presented the appearance of having recently
escaped from a conflagration. In this state of
things some individuals, we understand, to whose
conduct we shall not attempt to attach an appro•
priate epithet, attempted to set fire to the house
by throwing in squibs. Large pieces of granite
stone were found yesterday morning in the office,
and the porter was severely injured by a blow
in the breast, it is believed, from one of these
dangerous missiles. As it was evident that the
office of a newspaper could afford little or no
booty, no attempt was made to plunder. About
one o'clock a body of one or two hundred fel-
lows, separate from the rest, held a kind of con-
sultation apart. None of the offenders were
taken, except two boys, who were bringing
stones from the opposite street. On Ludgate-
hill the rioters were so daring, that a body of of-
ficers who had been sent for to preserve the pub-
lic peace were driven before them to the Man-
sion-house, around which the mob reusained
assembled, hooting and pelting, until a stronger
force having been collected, several of them were
apprehended. Of the disorderly proceedings of
the night the most atrocious was the conduct of
a gang of ruffians who carried lighted flambeaux,
and dashed them against different houses in their
way in such a manner as to place them in great
danger of catching fire.

PuBL/C OFFICE, Bow•STREET.--The Magistrates hats
agreed to publish Hut following Notice, for the information
of the respectable inhabitants of the Metropolis, to know hot►

MANs►oN•Housr.—Saturday two men, named Rook and
Crow, were charged, the one with having been the leader of
a mob of about 600 persons, who went about the City on
Friday night for the purpose of breaking the windows, and
otherwise damaging the property of those who might not
think proper to illuminate. The other prisoner, Crow, was
charged with having attempted t• rescue Rook.—Crow was
dischargtd with a reprimand hoot the Lord Mayor ; but his
Lordship was of opinion that Rook bad been guiltyof a breasts
of the peace, for which he ought to answer before a Jury.

On Saturday the Earl and Countess FOR'.
TESCUE set out, from their house in Grosvenor-
square, for their seat, Castle-hill, South Molton,
Devonshire. Previous to their departure, her
Ladyship laid out fifty pounds in flannel and
blankets, to distribute among the poor on their
estate ; her Ladyship clothes and educates one
hundred an sixty poor children, and gives them
an excellent dinner every Sunday, after they re-
turn from church. All the labourers on his Lord-
si►ip's estate,when they become past their labour,
are allowed by his Lordship from 3s. 6d. to 4s.
per week, with a good dinner of roast beef and
plum-pudding, and plenty of strong beer, every
Sunday.
On the two last Sundays the banns were put=
fished between the Earl of ERROL and Miss FITZ_

TIIF. LONDON JOURNALS.

[DAILY-EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.]

[Morning .Chronicle.]
The adjournment of the House of Lords to
the (2311 instant, throws no light on the intentions
of Ministers as to their conduct under the dis-
graceful defeat they have experienced: There
is no precedent in recent times of a prorogation
ilucirw an adjournment of either House. On the
2,3 d, therefore,' it is expected that a Message will
go down from the Lords to the Commons requir-
ing their attendance at the. Bar, when the Ses-
sion will .be closed by a Speech from Commis-
sitmers (as it is 'not likely that the King will go
doss ii a State to deliver it from the Throne),
and the Parliament will be prorogued to the lat-
ter end of January or beginning of February.--
A 'Cabinet Council was, we understand, held
on Saturday, at which Ministers would no doubt
condole with each other on their defeat, and
take measures against the approaching storm.—
Brit we leave them to their fears, and theirmu-
Vaat reproaches and recriminations. How diffe-
rent must be the feelings of Lords Grey and Er-
*Liiie, and the rest of that noble band who have
acted such a distinguished part on this occasion.
They have fought the good tight—they have
fought nobly for the Laws and Constitution of
th. it Country, and they enjoy the reward of an
ti[:.proying Conscience, and the g:atitude of that
Ju try . The demonstrations of respect which
Lord Grey received at Drury-lane Theatre, on
Saturday, were the sincere tribute of a people,
vi ho yyill never forget how much they owe, on this
occasion, to his talents and virtues.—We observe
a Requisition has been signed by 110 House-
holders of the Ward of Cripplegate Without, for
a.Meeting to congratulate her Majesty on her
miraculous escape from " the Milan Suborna-
tion, Conspiracy, and Perjury, and deliverance
from corrupt Ministers, who have long en-
deavoured to deprive her of her Rights and
Privileges," and that a Meeting is accordingly
appointed . for to-morrow. A Requisition is
also, we understand, in the course of signature,
for a Meeting of the Common Council of London,
to address his Majesty on the acquittal of the
Queen. Meetings congratulating their Majes-
ties on the issue of the proceedings, and calling
for the dismissal of Ministers, will, of course, be
general throughout the country. The good
effects of the present 'triumph of law and justice
Kill not be confined to this country. It will let
the people of other countries see what can be
done by perseverance in a good cause. The im-
mediate effect of it will be to cover with ignominy
all the known members of the Hanoverian agency,
the Redings, the l3erstetts, &c. if Count Mull-
.ster should leave this capital for Germany, he
way, not improbably, have another Pereat of as
expressive a nature as that which he once receiv-
-ect at Jena.

[Morning Post.]

The unfortunate effect produced by the opera-
tion of the unworthy prinCiple 'of expediency,
must now he deeply deplored by every well-
formed mind, and every loyal and well inten-
tioned subject in the land. Of the mass of me-
lancholy considerations that accompany this un-
expected result of base intimidation, the most
painful perhaps is the prospect of what may ensue
from so great an example of imperatiVe justice
subdued by vile and factious clamour. Hence-
forth who can know what shall be the authority,
and Tower of truth in the Tribunals of his coun-
try ?, If clamour may thus personate opinion, and
so confront truth with the question of expediency,
who can say that he lives under known law's ?
We trust that we do not exceed the lan-
guage of respectful remonstrance, when we
say, , that the event of which we complain
has arisen upon grounds incompatible with
the - security of society.. What are the
sources of the popularity which now, it
seems, is to be thrown into the balance
between truth and untruth ?—nineteen times out
of twenty, deeds and qualities which are loved
because.they encourage the most guilty hopes.
Buonvarte, the sanguinary champion of felony,
has an immense numerical majority of admirers
over the good and illustrious Wellington and it
was numerical majority merely, which upon
the late occasion claimed for itself the authority
of public opinion. What can be expected from
concesAons to this tyranny but a gradual in-
crease of its power, tiil at length it supersedes that
of every other tribunal, and constitutes itself the
arbiter of life and property ? We know not
how this progress of mischief is to be checked,
except by conduct in the better classes exactly
opposite, to their late supineness. They see now
what has ensued from their morbid apathy,
while others arrogated to speak in their name.
If they
.had signed their names to resolutions, de-
claratory- of the real character of the fabricated
addresses, the question of expediency would
never have been heard of in the „House of Lords.
Let them continue this subserviency to mere
numbers, deluded by a mischievous few, and they
will soon find, and will deserve to find, what
numbers can do against Peace and Property,
Truth and Justice. The Bill being read a third
time, and, as far as the highest legal tribunal in
the kingdom was concerned, the Queen's guilt
pronounced, the Minister himself proposed to
withdraw-the further prosecution of the measure.
The grounds and motives of this determination
may be, matter of argument., and many there
are, we know, who lament its adoption. Others,
who feel.that it was no longer necessary to pass
the Bill, for the purpose of degrading the Queen,
think that the public good was wisely consulted
In thus abandoning it. But who is there, with a
sound lead, from one end of the country to the
other, who will call such a termination of the
inquiry, a triumph for the accused ? What Peer
in England, what Commoner, what individual
moving in the middle ranks of life, would con-
gratulate his wife, his daughter, or his sister,.
upon the triumph of having one hundred and
twenty-eight British Noblemen convinced of her
guilt? What female to whom honour and cha-

racter are dear, could lay her head in peace
upon her pillow,-and reflect that such a verdict-
had been pronounced, with the further and bitter
consciousness, that many others who disapproved
of the measure on political grounds, yet qua•
lified their dissent with the strongest condem-
nation of her conduct, and the most solemn
asseverations of her guilt ? Thus tainted, thus
stigmatised, thus, in reality, degraded, her
Alajesty stands before the country : and thus
will her name go down to posterity. It
is no longer surmise, no longer rumour. The
proofs of her misdeeds have been adduced ;
those proofs have satisfied her Judges, and the
verdict of her Judges, though null and void in a
technical sense, will stand recorded in the annals
of England, a moral sentence, whose stain no
art can wash away, whose effect no sophistry, no
equivocation, can diminish. Her good and vir-
tuous predecessor, the pious, the chaste, the ex-
emplary Queen Charlotte, lived and reigned
among us above half a century, without reproach.
The predecessors of that venerable and venerated
Queen also descended to their tombs with the
same unblemished purity. What a falling off
when we come to her who is now our Queen'.
What epitaph will future ages inscribe upon her
monument ? ‘V ill it be the preamble of the Bill
of Pains and Penalties, which a large majority of
the House of Lords voted to have been proved by
legal evidence at their Bar ?

[New :times.]
In our Paper of Saturday we noticed the Illu-
minations which took place the preceding even-
ing in various parts of the Metropolis, in conse-
quence of the Bill of Pains and Penalties having
been withdrawn. The same were repeated on
Saturday evening, and they were attended, as
might have been too reasonably expected, with
some excesses ou the part of the populace,
by which we, among others, suffered no small
inconvenience. Nevertheless, we are willing
to allow that there may have been in the po-
pular feeling on the subject of the Bill much
that was pardonable, and even something praise-
worthy. The interest naturally felt for a
Woman, and a QUEEN, may excuse some over-
flow of enthusiasm ; and, indeed if we could consci-
entiously persuade ourselves that her Majesty
was really "as pure as unsunned snows," we
should be among the foremost to offer her the
tribute of our humble veneration. But we can-
not forget, and the country will not soon forget,
that this question has undergone the investigation
of the highest and Most Honourable Tribunal
in the world, which Tribunalltas twice distinctly
in.onounced doom on the Queen's conduct,
namely, at the Second and Third Readings of
the Bill. - We have ourselves most carefully stu-
died the evidence, and when we see our impres-
sions respecting it confirmed and sanctioned by
such men as Lord Grenville and Lord Lauder-
dale, ptatesmen of undisputed talent, and Of un-
impeachable integrity---Peers who have long
been, and on_ general politics still are, In op-
position to the Ministry of the day, we must
say, that the painful conviction of our minds
is too deeply rooted to be shaken by po-
pular rejcVngs and illuminations. We have
mentioned only two of her Majesty's
Judges; but be it remembered that there were
one hundred and twenty/-one others, who fully
concurred with those two, and that of the ninety-
jive who on various grounds opposed them, many
condemned- the Queen's conduct in the most un-
qualified, some in the most indignant terms ; and
no one ventured to say that it had been such as
• became a virtuous female, and a Queen of Eng-
land.—Yet this is the state of things, which a
Journalist, utterly destitute of all English
feeling, has declared to be " to us Eng-
lishmen beyond all calculation more pre-•
cious "—than what ?—than the vast inheri-
tance of Glory purchased by our heroic Sailors
and Soldiers, our Nelson and our Wellington, in
their arduous struggle against the Oppressor of
Europe ! IS not this monstrous ? Could it have
been believed, that any man living in the, same
century with those who achieved Such immortal
honour, for themselves and their country, would
dare to speak of it in terms of disparagement and
contempt ? Vile and worthless must that man
be who can lay hold of any subject of temporary
intereSt to obscure the splendour of that great
moral triumph, which, after long.years of patient
heroism, was consummated on the plain of Wa-
terloo!

Q England! dearer far than life is dear,
If 1 forget thy inowess, never wore
Be thy ungrateml son aliou'd to hear
Thy green It aces rustle, nr thy turrets roar.
This was indeed a theme for exultation to all who
spoke the English tongue, or in whose' veins the
blood of Britons flowed. Let those rejoice, who
can find satisfactory cause of joy in the sort of
escape that the Queen has had from a legal sen-
tence of Divorce and Degradation ; but do not
let them trample on common sense and decency,
by placing this more than questionable event
above the proudest claim that England has to in-
scribe her name on the column of History !

[The Times.]
Among the sayings of certain of her Majesty's
Judges on the late horrible trial, Lord Redes-
dale's declaration, that he believed the public to
be " wholly imiVerent to the issue" of that in-
quiry (!) was of a nature to be long remembered,
from a regard to the wisdom by which it was
dictated, had it fallen from almost any person
but Lord Redesdale. It was indeed a little awk-
ward that the patron of the prosecution himself,
Lord Liverpool, should have given a direct
contradiction to the Learned Lord, and assign,
as the chief reason for giving up the Bill, his
own deference for " public feeling." If, how-
ever-, the Learned Lord should, like his Ma-
jesty's Master of the Horse, pluck up courage
enough for once to differ from Lord Liver-
pool, and adhere to his own estimate of the
force and bearing of the public opinion on this
momentous cause, we would refer him to the ge-
neral aspect of the metropolis ever since the Biil
was abandoned. We would entreat Lord Re-
desdale and other Court Lords to ask themselves

what could have raised the funds when it was I
known that Prince Leopold had, after a long
(perhaps a conscientious) delay, gone to offer his
duty to the mother of his lamented Princess?
Why was it that the funds instantaneously rose,
and have since continued rising, on the receipt of
intelligence in the City, that this Bill, this night-
mare on the national credit and tranquillity,
had vanished into the regions of utter darkness,
►were it originated ? If the Courtiers want
a further lesson as to the actual feelings of the
people of England towards them, and the vile
measure which they have been forced to relinquish,
let them not confine their observation to the ca-
pital, but ask how the news has been hailed in all
quarters, from which there has yet been time to
ascertain the mode of its reception ? We say
nothing of the chosen seats of popularity and
independence ; but what has been the sensation
manifested in places where the influence of power
is most formidable, where the motives to subser-
viency are most urgent, and the habits of
Toryism most ancient and inveterate ? We
pass by Southampton, where, at day-break
on Saturday, the bells were set ringing, the
colours hoisted on the churches, the ships
dressed out with innumerable flags, and the female
inhabitants arrayed in white ribands—the em-
blem of innocence and triumph ; but at Ports-
mouth— a strong hold of Government—a vortex
of public expenditure, where hardly a loaf of
bread is eaten but by a dependent on the
Administration of the day—tl►e same proofs
of unaffected rejoicing were exhibited as we
have just put on record in relation to their
neighbours at Southampton. A letter from Bristol
has attested to us the feelings of that old
and eminently loyal city ; while at Oxford—the
head quarters of Charles the First—the birth-
place and presidium of courtly divinity, the
chosen citadel of that right reverend doctriat,
that Kings are incapable whether of follies or of
crimes—Oxford herself, on hearing from the
Duke of Beaufort that the Bill of Pains and, Pe
nalties had been devoured by its own parent,
tuned her solemn bells to the music of hilarity
and gratulation. This, then, is the sort of in',
difference which we were impudently assured
would display itself throughout the Empire, on
an event which it is our conscientious belief has
saved the King, nay, the Monarchy itself, from a
fate as terrible---if so terrible there can be---as
that with which the Bill of Divorce and Degra-
dation threatened to overwhelm our injured and
persecuted Queen. It is then on the loyal spirit
of our countrymen we reckon for a sympathy no
less universal, on our deliverance from this
dreadful evil, than would have been the national
misery with which, if carried into execution, it
would have unavoidably afflicted us.

[British Press.]
The rejection of the Bill of Pains and Penal-
ties has occasioned an universal feeling of satis-
faction throughout every class of society, and even
the few who were influenced by the arguments,
and still more by the personal authority of the
Ministers, to consider the Queen guilty, do not
conceal le pleasure they experience at the de-
struction of so alarming a measure ; for they are
aware that the sense of the country was strongly
opposed to it, and that perseverance in endea-
vouring to carry it into effect must have been at-
tended with dangerous consequences. Well had
it been for the honour of the Crown and the cha-
racter of the Government bad such a proceeding
never been instituted. The disclaimers of the
Ministers of the Crown, asserting that the Bill
was not contemplated as a measure of personal
relief to the King, were not fortunate enough to
receive general credence, and throughout the
whole trial the public found it impossible to ab-
stract the notion of the King in his individual
character, appearing and acting as a prosecutor
fur personal considerations, from his regal and
constitutional capacity, proceeding against the
Queen solely for the purposes of public justice.
The trial bore the semblance of a personal dis-
pute between their Majesties—nobody could be-
lieve that any purpose of public policy or expe-
diency was contemplated, and the opinion ne-
cessarily arose that the Queen was to be de-
graded and divorced to gratify private enmity,
or some other feeling not less discreditable.—
The manner in which the Ministers of the Crown
conducted the prosecution undoubtedly seemed to
favour this supposition, and the public were alarmed
at seeing the whole power of the Government, the
influence of the Crown, and the authority of Par-
liament,employed under the name of public justice,
and the pretended sanction of the country, to effect
so monstrous a purpose. The brutal invectives
continually poured out by the Treasury writers
upon the Queen personally—conduct at once so
disgraceful to the individuals using it, so in-
sulting- to the Illustrious Princess and to her
whole family,. and so disreputable to the cha-
racter of the country—alarmed while they dis-
gusted time nation, for it could not be believed
that those persons, professedly the minions of
authority, would dare to utter such libels against
the Queen of the Realm, had they not re-
ceived instructions, or at least permission for
this purpose, and it followed as a necessary con-
sequence that where such course ribaldry and in-
decent outrages were directed personally against
her Majesty, some further object than one of a
public nature was contemplated. It is always to
be lamented that a Sovereign should in his per-
sonal' character appear before his subjects actu-
ated by any weak or ignoble passion, and those
Ministers are unworthy of his confidence, as they
also forfeit that of the country, who would stoop
to preserve their places in the Cabinet, by con-
senting to pursue an object which, even if attain-
ed, must in some degree compromise his regal and
personal dignity.

A serious affray took place at Folkstone on'
Wednesday night, between a party of smugglers
and the men on the preventive service, during
which several of the latter were shot,and severely
wounded.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, Nov. 11.

GODWIN V. ROGERS, LATHAM, AND CO. ,r
This was an action tried before Mr. Justte,o
BAILEY, at Guildhall, during the last sittinte
before Term, when a verdict was taken for t"
Plaintiff.--Damages 2,0001.
Mr. GURNEY this day applied to have the coral
set aside and a new trial granted, on the ground
of a misdirection on the part of the Lear°
Judge. The plaintiff, it appeared, was a sea:
faring man in the county of Kent, and the de
fendants were bankers at Dover. The plailltig
a
being desirous to transfer property which he Ba
in the English Four per Cents., amounting to 1:11,1
wards of 1,1001., to the French Funds, apPbe
to the defendants on the subject, who nuclei;
took to make the transfer, and were to receive
commission of a quarter per cent. for their trl
ble. They accordingly received authority tO seal
out the plaintiff's English stock, and did sa
‘..
They then employed au agent named Faber 10
make the purchase in the French Renter, 101
employed a Government broker named Pi 113.1
to purchase the stock. Pillau accordingly all
so on' the 6th May, the stock to be delivered 0:0
the sth of June ; and Faber gave information
the defendants of the circumstance, who irron,,e.:t
diately remitted the money to Faber,and he
to Pillau. Previous, however, to the time arrifiP/
for making the transfer of the stock Pillatt 13e.;
came a bankrupt, and the money paid to him 00
lost to the plaintiff, who then brought his acti°t,
against the defendants, on the ground of thel,
having acted with negligence in paying the mooeJe
to Pillau before they had regular notice of ti;
transfer of the stock being completed. 111,!'
Justice Bailey being of opinion there was neg4v
gence, directed the Jury to find for the plainti,e
.41r: GURNEY now moved for a new trial, on the
(ground that the defendants had taken every Pre:
cititjon in their power, and that it was necessnri
to pay the money to the broker some days 1
fore tir purchase was completed, to enable n'
to ascertain the rate of exchange, and do othet
acts required in purchasing in the French funds'
e
The CHIEF JUSTICE said, in the present on%
it was not necessary for the Court to go so far
the Il
to say an agent, standing in the situation of
defendants in this case, would be liable to I 1
..
demnify his-principals generally, though he IP;
inclined to think it was so ; but in the prese%
case there certainly was such negligence as Nvoul
render him liable. The agent was bound t°s
take the best means in his power to secure
principal ; and to have done this, he ought!!,/
no means to have paid money on a time bargai"i:
The transfer ought to have been made as spee°,,
ily as the forms of business would
refused.

MEL.kNCIfOtry ACClDENT.—Thursday night $
most melancholy accident happened off Ports'
mouth. Dr. Walker, of the Dock-yard, Iravill
occasion to send his family and furniture t
Ryde, employed one of the Dock-yard boats Cur
that purpose ; on the return of the boat (after
landing the family), when of the Ricker, about
seven o'clock, the wind blowing very stroll;
from the eastward, she upset ; the crew imine;
diately got on her bottom, and she being a stout
barge, they were enabled to keep above water
for some time ; but the continual dashing of the
waves over them, and the weather being Ted
cold, caused six of them to drop off successivelP
The cries of the remaining five were heard Vl'
solitary vessel coming up from Cowes at half'
past eight, and who very fortunately passing the,
boat to leeward, they instantly hoisted out their
boat,, and with great difficulty, from the he'
numbed state of the poor creatures, succeeded 111
getting them on board the vessel. It is adds'
tionally melancholy to reflect, that five of theet
poor fellows were married, and the sixth ker,
his widowed mother ; thus, in the short space 0'
one hour and a half, an aged mother, five widevrs;
and twenty children, are bereft of the means of
existence. Their names are Adams, Lucas'
Moore, Barrett, and Payne. They were solve,
of the primest riggers in the Dock-yard, and
selected for the barge's crew of the King's yacht,
and had been much noticed by his Majesty for
their steady behaviour, when with him during,
the Royal excursion to that port.—( Portsmouth')

EXECUTlON.—Yesterday the unfortunate Pri"
soners M'Colgan, Grant, Connor and Crosbie,
were executed at Glasgow, for housebreaking
and.robbery. At five minutes past three o'cloeic
they walked up to the scaffold with a solemn
step, attended by the Rev. Mr. Marshall, of the
High Church, and the Rev. Mr: Scott. Their
behaviour there was extremely decent and he'
corning. After remaining a short time in carriest
conversation and prayer with the above Reverent)
Gentlemen, they kissed each other, and taking
farewell of their religious assistants, dropt the
fatal signal, and were launched into eternitl'
An immense crowd of men, women, and childrea
were present, but no accident happened.—(Ed"
burgh Courant, Nov. 9.)
Friday morning four small Scots oxen, quite
fat, were sold in Smithfield at 8/. each. TheY
weighed about 50 stone each bullock, which ig
about 41d. per lb. for the carcase, besides ha"
