another was withdrawn, And the third, which was
whether certain lands were subject.of a modus or not ?

receipts of the last• two Vicars, which his Lordship
held was insufficient proof. The business finished

HEREFORD ASSIZES, JUL? 31.
GRAHAM SCOTT.—This was an ejectment
brought to obtain possession of the long disputed
im
portant
points of Brampton Brion. Several
points of law were argued with great ability by Mr.
D AuNcEv, Mr. WicLer, and Mr. Anson', for the
Plaintiff, and by Mr. Serjeant WILLIAMS and Mr.
Pci.LErt, 'for the Defendant, and nothing being left to
The Jury, a verdict was taken for the Lessor of the
Plaintiff, and all the points of law were reserved for
the opinion of the Court of King's Bench.

A curious and very unfortunate circumstance oc-
curred at Staple Hall Inn, Witney, on Monday list.
Mr. Coburn 'having a horse that he conceived had
worked sufficiently long, thought it would be more
humane to have him killed, than part with him, and
subject him to probable ill usage. In consequence,
he gave directions to a man to knock him on the head,
and take and dress his skin. The man went into the
'ground, and on patting a horse on the hip that was
.lying down, and finding he did not move, he con-
ceived this was his victim. Unfortunately, however,
when the bloody deed was done, it was found that
he had killed a valuable post-horse belonging to Mr.
James Heath, of Northleach, while the poor superan-
nuated horse had escaped.
Monday, as the driver of one of the Brighton stages,
having set down Mr. Hoare, the banker, at his house
on Pavillion Parade, was turning the horses, the
coach, in which were four ladies, upset, when one of
them had her collar-bone broken, and the others es-
caped with slight bruises ; an undertaker, who had
come down to remove the body of Mr. Baillie, the
West-India merchant, was thrown from the roof, and
had a thigh broken, and the stable-keeper belonging
to the Proprietor of the coach, who had just beforp
taken his seat in the hind-dickie, was thrown there.
