At the Lewes Assizes, (Galloway, a gra-
faring man, brought an action against Lieutenant
Reed, of the Impress-service, for breaking open Ilia
house in the night time-, and impressing hiin. The
Judge was of opinion that the impress was legal ; but
that it was illegal to break the outer door of the
house ; and the Jury returned a verdict for the plain-
tiff—damages £lO.
At the Warwick Assizes, Barnabas Waver: and his
son, who had picked up a bill, valued £ll, and con-
verted it to their own use, were tried . and found
guilty. In their defence they said, that having found
the property they conceived they had a right to it as
their own. But the presiding Judge, in passing sen-
tence, expressed himself in terms of indignation and
astonishment, that such an idea should for a moment
be entertained by any one ; it was the duty of every
man, when he found the property of another, to use
all diligence to find the owner, and not conceal it
(which was actually stealing it), and appropriate it
to his own use. The law would always punish, with
severity, offenders of that description. They were
each sentenced to one year's imprisonment.
The following is the only capital conviction which
took place at the Kerry Assizes : Timothy Sullivan,
alias Ouecy, found guilty on the clearest evidence, of
being of a party of White-boys, who, on the night of
the 21st inst. broke into the house of Thomas Fitzge-
i rald, of Listrim, whom they wantonly and barbarous-
ly beat, together with others of his family. Imme-
, diately after the fatal verdict was announced, the
Chief Baron, in the most impressive language, passed
the usual sentence of the law.

Al the Enniskillen Assizes, nomas Trzortale was in-

and marriage of Alicia Hillock.
Mr. DEERING, Counsel for the prosecution, said,
he, the prisoner, was highly sensible of the enormity
of his offence, and that he was even anxious, as far as
in him lay, to make atonement for it, by moving the
Court to permit hin., to withdraw his plea of Not
Guilty, and to plead Guilty.—Motion granted.

Baron MiCLLLLAND they passed sentence in the following
words--" 77ashu Tallmest, you have now, by your own confes-
sion, acknowledged yourself ply of the offence charged against
you by the proOecuttis, and found by Vie Grand Jury. Yong•
:burn-loos crime has, by the law of this country, been justly ren-
dered capital; and it now becomes my di.ty to pan upon you the
awful sentence of death ! By your submission, you have evinced
scme marks of contrilon ; 1 therefor,: shall refrain from making
any observations that might tend to inju e the feelings of an un-
happy man, so circumstanced as you are. Whether you have
any merit for the course you have adopted, it Is not for me to
judge. lam neither acquainted with the facts of which you are
accused, nor with the proofs that might be adduced In evidence
against you—but I think it l.ighly proper to exhort you, not to
indulge too sanguine hopes that pardon will be the necessary con-
sequence of your pleading gulty; and I entreat you nut to lose
a moment in preparing yourself for another world, lest Govern-
ment should nut consider you a fit object to earend. its mercy to.
—Having thought it my duty to give you this advice, it now
becomes necessary that I should pronounce the sentence of the
Law."

It is to •be allowed that during the summer, the
number of horses wanted, will nut be so great ; but
when the senow comes on in Russia, the whole will
be wanted.

We are to add the difficulties of providing beef
and mutton at half a proud a day—allowing each
sheep at SUlb. weight, each bullock at .5001 b. 400,000
persons at this average would require 1,400 bullocks,
and 14,000 sheep a week, which must be kept up is
food till killed.

ASSIZES.

[Here the Learned Judge pronounced the awful
sentence of•death.]

Jame: Britt, Cortadhes Delany, and Henry Benton,
Revenue office's, were given in charge to the Jury,
and indicted for the murder of Patrick O'Donnell,
at Enniskillen, on the 20th of May.
It appeared in evidence, that the deceased and one
Archibald Allingham, -were smuggling contraband
spirits in a boat, on the river Erne, on the evening of
the 20th of May last—that the prisoners and three of
the Cornwall Militia, were in another boat, and
called to the deceased and his companion to surren-
der, which they either did not hear, or did not attend
so—on which she military fired, and Patrick O'Don-
nell was killed. • The Jury, in consequence of the
contradictory evidence of the survivor, Allingham,
and under the direction of Barcn M,CLat.na N acquit-
ted the prisoners. The Learned Judge then addres.
sed them, and said, that before he discharged them,
he thought it proper to observe (first hoping, that,
not one of them had given direstions to fire the fatal
shot, which had deprived the father of a large and
afflicted Emily of his life), that they, as Revenue offi•
cers, were not authorized in point of law to fire upon
persons, as if a felony had been committed—except
where a felony had. been actually committed, they
11. were not vested with any power to order the military
to fire their muskets : for it were much better that
any given number of smugglers should escape, than
that one innocent man should lose his life. He stated
this, that the law might be fully and clearly under-
stood by the Revenue officers, and that they would
not dare to command the military to act in such a
manner, as might endtager the life of a subject, till
after the seizure was made.

MAIDSTONE, AUGUST a.
BASS v. GILBERT.
This was an action for the seduction of the plain.
tiff's daughter. The plaintiff and defendant were both
farmers in this county ; and from the testimony of
the plaintiff's daughter, it appeared that she had been
at school with the defendant's sister—and in conse-
quence of an iatimacy ari.ing between the families,
lie had visited at her father's house, on a most inti-
mate footing. The consequence was, that she had;
yielded to his particular attentions, and had become
pregnant by him.
The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff.—Da-

Cctlts v. PEARCE.
This was an action against the Defendant for driv-
ing against the Plaintiff's horse and cart, by which
the shalt of the defendant's chaise-cart was driven
into the lungs of the plaintiff's horse, and he was
thereby killed.
The plaintiff's servant, who drove his horse, swore
