YORK, JAN. 11.—Joseph Brooke, late of Rated,
• tailor, aged 40, was tried for burglariously.breaking
into the dwelling-house of Benjamin Strickland, at
Kirk-Heaton, and stealing a silver watch, and some
silver and copper coin, on ;...e 4th of October list.
It appeared in evidence, that the family of the pro-
secutor and himself retired to rest between ten and
eleven o'clock, and in the course of the night they
were disturbed by voices outside, saving, 44 Open the
dcor." Strickland called out, " M'ho's there—what
do you want ?" It was between two and three o'clock
in the morning—it was starlight: they said, "Come,
Come, open the door :" there appeared to be a n urn
ber of persons by the noise at the door. Strickland
asked if it were some soldiers 'that wanted quarters ?
and ivintecl Item to give some account of themselves
before-he opened the door; but they did not, and one
of them called out "Enoch" (a term used for a large
hammer), and gave hard blows at the door :'Strick-
land opened it, for fear they should break the door :
whim they entered, one of them said, " We arc come
for your gun." Strickland assured him be had not
cne, it was at the guard-room : the m:tn said, " We
must have your mi neys;" and they proceeded to get
it, and made Strickland deliver it up, and also a
watch. They endeavoured to raise a light, but could
not ;• one of them struck the stone floor with a sword,
by the flash of which prosecutor's niece, whom they
had alarmed by the noise, and who slept on the
ground floor, perceived the face of a nun to he
blacked, and believed the prisoner was the man.—
Suspicion arose that lie-was the one, from his having
on the Sunday before heard a person of the name of
-Holmes say to the prosecutor's nephew, that his uncle
had money plenty, if he would briag it out ; and also
e..quiring about some nuts, and whether there was a
watch at the wood.—For the prisoner, an alibi was set
up, which, together with the prosecutor's niece only
discovering the features of the man's face, which she
believed to be the prisoner's, by the flash of the light
occasioned by the man striking the stone-floor with
his sword, was left to the Jury by the Learned Judge.
The Jury retired a short time, and returned a verdict
of—Not Guilty.
Job Nay, John Hill, and William Hartley, were next
tried, for divers burglaries and misdemeanours, and
particularly with a burglary in the house of Mr. G.
Haigh, of Sculcoates : they were found Guilty.

Monday morning, the 4th instant, about three
o'clock, as the Enniskillen Mail Coach was coming
to Dublin, 'within two miles of Dunsvauglin, the
guard being on the alert, observed a number fd men
lying on each side of the road : the carriage stopped
and an alarm was given to the passengers, who im-
mediately, headed by 3 Mr. King, a Clergyman,
from the county of Cavan, lumped from the carriage,
and called for the spare arms, which were imme-
diately handed down. The robbers, on seeing this
determined opposition, thought proper to retreat ;
the guards, steady to their charge, kept their ground.
The robbers were pursued across one field by Mr:
King, on whom they fired ; and he returned it by a
blunderbuss., which is thought to have done execu-
tion, as he had three in view within V.O yards of him.

A singular discovery in the cure of Madness is
said to have been recently made, by which one of the
Band belonging to us Royal Highness the Duke of

senses in two days, after having been confined in a
place for the reception of mad persons for some time,
and from which be was removed, with the consent of
his friends, in a very deranged state, to undergo the
novel experiment, which so perfectly succeeded hy
the time above mentioned, that he was not only anle
to converse rationally with those about him, but also
to play to them several favourite pieces at music.—
We have heard that a person belonging to the Trans-
port Board has also been cured by the same process.
