PoAcuens.—A few days ago, information was sent
to Sir CiartanDhlort.'s keepers, that a gang of poachers
were on their way from Nottinghamshire, to visit Sir
GERARD'S and Sir GILBERT HEATIScoTE'S PIDIRDrS
BCCOrdrngly, M. HERRING. the It'ad keeper at Ex-
-ton rank, mustered tis forces, and being joined by a
small patty from Normanton, about seven o'clock in
the everting they divided themselves into parties, and
patrnled tl:e manors, but did not then come up with
the marauders • however, they found some snares,
and one hare,iieh convinced them that the enemy
had been there ; wherefore they mustered again in
he manner on the two following nights, and, early
on the Friday morning, got strong scent, which they
pursued from Evian to Burton Lazarus, near Mel-
ton, where they overtook four men (namely, J.
Smith, W. Smith, R. Fairbrother, and .1. Adams),
in two carts, and not doubting that these were part el
the gang, they made a formidable attack in the vil-
lage of Burton, and secured the whole. On search-
ing the packages in the edit., the keepers found nine
hares, and no less than 73 stares, as also a large
quantity of strong lines, used tor the purpose .of
drawing over the lands, lb drive the hares through
the smuces or runs. Being taken h lore the Magis-
trates at Melton, the four men-were convicted in the
penalty of 1119 (20e. for each hare) under the statute
of the Ist of J.smes, c. 27 sect. 2.

Accinawri.—Lately, at Fuston, near Grantham's
yaw% man r airing loaded a fowling piece, left it
within the reach .1 wore children, ashen a boy, ten
years of age. sun of Henry Hall, took it up, and ac-
cidentally si of his sister, a fine girl about time years
old, in the head—she died instantly.
Friday se'nniglat, one of those accidents which a
little aite '• nn woold have prevented, agonized the
gars of a Gentleman • and his Lady, who had been
on a visit, accompanied by their son. a film boy of
filar years of age, from Bolton to Fairfield, to see
their daughter. On their way home, the poor•little
fellow was playing and leaning his weight against
the chaise deur, which, unfortunately, not being is-
sued by the slide and loop, Sew open, and-he fell
aut, and the wheel going over his breast, occasioned
his almost immediate death.
Bow•rrranT.—Yesterday, Mr. Wainsecot, the Sta-
tuary, attended at the Office in consequence of being
summoned by Mr. Dean, the Inspector of fluisaaces
for the Parish of St. George, Hanover-square, charg-
ing the Artist with a 'nuisance, in keeping several
leads of marble and'stone in Adam's Mews, Charles-
street, Grosven,4-square; on the foot-path. Mr.
IVestmacot produced a plan of his premises, and
stated they were against his own house, and that his
father and himself had placed marble there for 35
. years. He was, however, answered, that no length
of time would justify what was wrong, and the In-
spector proving that it belonged to the parish, he
was convicted.

Lifif INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBIIa
STABIDLNSNAYILIt B. PHILLIPS.
This was an action to recover iff9, 4s. Bd. being
the amount of expenses incurred in the repair of the
shop window of the defendant, who lives at Charing-
Cross. The defendant, it appears, was a hackney.
coachman, and having left his coach with a blind
horse, without any person to take care of it; the ani.
mal, by some momentary eccentricity, was tempted
to approach the plaintiff's window. The pole of the
coach coming in contact with the frame, nine panes
of glass were broken, and the frame itself was consi-
derably damaged. Verdict for the plaintiff—Da-
mages A'9. 4s. Bd. Costs, 40S.
BARRETT V. LEIGH.
This was an action against the Sheriff to recover
damages for an escape.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL stated the circumstances
of the case. The defendant, he observed, was an
officer of the Sheriff of the county of Middlesex, and
in that capacity a writ was put into his hands to exe-
cute against a celebrated music master, named
Lanza, residing in Foley-place, for a debt of 028.
14s. He proceeded to the hou,se of Mr. Lanza, and
was introduced to him. Mr. Lanza acknowledged
the debt, but represented, in strong terms, the
inconvenience to which he would be subject, if
interrupted at that moment, being employed in giving
lessons to many Ladies of consequence. He propo-
sed, however, then to execute a bail bond himself, and'
to call the Same afternoon with two friends at the
Sheriff's Office, and put in bail. Under this promise
the officer was induced to take his word, and set him
at liberty. In the course of the evening he dial call ;
but on arriving at the Office, instead of bringing two
friends to give bail, he pleaded his privilege as cho-
rister to the chapel of the Portuguese Ambassador,
and defied the officer to touch him. On inquiry at
the Office of the Secretary of State, it was discovered
that the name of Mr. Lanza was included in the list
of privileged persons belonging to the Portuguese
Chapel as chorister. The Learned Attorney com-
mented, with his usual eneris, on the abuse which
would obtain, if persons like Mr. Lanza were, merely
because they went to the Portuguese chapel to offer
their adorations to Gon, to swindle the honest trades-
men of this country, by eluding the payment of
their debts.

Mr, PARK, for the defendaat, submitted that in
point of law, Mr. Lanza was exempt from arrest, un-
der what was termed the Ambassadors' Act. He
then put in the list from the Office of the Secretary
of State, in which Mr. Lanza was included as one of
the choristers of the Portuguese Ambassador. It
being necessary to prove that Mr. Lanza actually
executed the duties of the siturtion which he professed
to hold, he was himself called, but 'Dot answering,
and this proof being deficient, a verdict was found for
die plaintiff.—Damages 40s. Costs, 40s.
Lord ELLEsu utotxur observed, that as the Sheriff
WAS, no doubt, indemuif►ed by Mr. Lanza, in the trial
of hi, cause, the plaiatiff would be able to recover the
whole of his debt.
STEVENS D. CHAMBER, AND OTDERC.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a
Gentleman residing at No. 49, Baker.street, against
the Hundred of Ossu!stone, to recover a cnmpensa.
don in damages for the injury done to his house by
the mob assembled on the 7th of March last, on the
subjectof the Corn Bill, then pending in Parliament.
The damage done by the mob was proved, and the
Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Danta;es
£5B. 144.2 d. Costs, 40s.
MORRIS T. CHAMBERS AND OTHERS.

This was a similar action, brought by Mr. Morris,
of No. 21, Baker-street, againit the same defendant.
The riot, and the damage done by the mob were
proved, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.
Damages £l4. 9s. 4J. Costs, 40s.
4.—WARNEtt 9. SCOtT.

Mr. TOPPING stated, that this was an action brought
by the Pla;ntiff, a carver and gilder. residing in the
Strand, against the Defendant, as Proprietor of the
Sans p.ireel Theatre. to oblige him to remove a wall
which he bad erected close . against the Plaintiff's
house, and which had the effect of entirely blocking
up .his windows, and excluding the light. The Learn-
ed Counsel having stated the facts of the case, was
proceeding to prove them by evidence, when, at the
`suggestion of Lord ELLeranonounat, it was agreed
that a verdict of £4OO should be taken for the Plain-
tiff, subject to a reference to a Gentleman at the Bar
to say what ought to be done between the parties.
The propriety of this recommendation being felt
on both sides, the case was referred to Mr. Bolland's
at bitration.
