MR: MARTIN' AGAIN.

A man Mimed Wells, the drier of No; 655,
summoned before G. R. Minshull, Esq. to answer to
charge of cruelty to one of the horses which he drink
in his vehicle. After some preliminary and. petfeell
useless discussion, between the, sitting *Magist:ate at 4
Mr. Martin, :mid the iadoiLlsaillity of die:- isifor mer
a witness, on which' occaslow, .as nstrl, Mr. MArt,
dubbed the opinion of the Mattistrate as 4' the very
quintessence of legal pedant:l,7o)e witnesses weTe
called. They proved, that on Saturd.s% evening, be.
tween six and seven o'clock, a
scorrsiderable disturbaree
was excited is the Haymarket, in consequence of the
gross cruelty of the driver of 655, ts ho beat aril flogged
a mare in his coach So ntimercifully, that she fell
the ground. This .was the case.-Mr. Minthull
asked the defendant what he had to..lay?-7-fle pleaded
guilty to beating the mare, but said he did not be
her wantonly. Nothing, indeed, but sev.rity would
do with her.

Mr. Minshull then asked the witnesses if the rr2l
who had just pleaded, was the coachman t17:1
had seen conducting himself so cruelly toward: S
mare? They looker' round the office, and instead
the driver of No. 6.-33, who is a small man, they
on Neat, the driver of 554, who is a tall magi, and wt.
was then standing behind the deferdant. •He sai.
that it was impossible he could be the man, for he wa,
no: in the Haymarket at the time. Wells Was they
asked whether h:r had ever permitted any other into
drive his coach.? He denied that he had. The «;t
nesses were again asked, if they n ere.c,Mfident the EIN
man was the real offender? They said they oere, -arid
some of them stated, that at the time the animal wat
ill-treated, there were two men on the box. • The

woman to whom No. 655 belongs, was then collet
and she proved that Wells had long driven her-coav
and on the morning of Satut day he bad gone 'out
the yard with it. The mare was rather spirited,
was obliged to be beaten.
Mr. Martin now insisted that, as there were tw
persons positively swearing to the man, the Map istra
must convict the second coachman., Mr. Minthul,
thought he ought to have time to bring any witness he
could, to prove the ali/4, to which he had alluded.
Mr. Martin asked Neat, what brought him here or
the present occasion, so inopportunely for his own h
terests, since the very offence of which he was accuse,
was under examination? The coachman said, be.h.n
come to apply for a warrant to take a Gentleman who
had refused to attend on being served with two sum-
mouses. In this he was confirmed by Mr. Perry, the
summoning clerk.—Mr. Minshull directed the c:-.se
stand over till to-morrow, when Neat might have as
opportunity to defend himself from the charge, if !,
were in fact innocent.—Mr. Martin wished to give
piece of advice to the defendant, Wells: "Now, ye,
say that the maze is restive, and, therefore, you beat
her. But I can tell you that I have often spokes tc
my friend Colonel Dacre, in the Regent's Park, so.ar
has to do with all kinds of horses—hot horses and col(
horses, and restive horses and qn'et homes--and he tells
me thathe does not use twopenny worth of whip-cor,:
in a year. The mote you flog an unquiet horse tie
worse he always is. So mind that."

It appears by the last /stew York pagers, that mo'ie
is as scarce in the United States as it is in this cotritry.
There are 103 canals in Great Britain; the total e!
tent of them 2,6821 miles, about the length, from th
east to the west, or the whole continent of Europe
thirty millions sterling is the valuation of thr. cost. 1:
the various canals there are 48 subterraneous passage.
40 of which have an extent of 32 miles. gone of the
important as they are, were projected prior to 1711
The only theatrical representation w:iich Oliver
Cromwell allowed to be performed, was a sort of ope-
ratic piece, called' The Cruelty of the Spaniards in
Peru, and stated in the title-page to be " tepie.enied
daily at the Cockpit, in Drury-lane, at three iatte•af-
ternoon punctually." The reason assigned •for-Crom-
fßell's exclusive permission for this piece was, itf Icfutre!
teflecting on the Spaniards, against whom be*.wq,,:i,up-
posed at the time to have formed considerable- designs.

The confinement of Forster in the prison of Isedgatt.,
a mane incident in the revived play of A Wei* hem.

gives the following version of the story sa—,4:Lisdgat
was within my memory a wretched prison for debtors
it became what was called a free prison in 1373, tri
soon lost that privilege. It was enlarged and had
the addition of, a Chapel by Sir Stephen orster, on.
very romantic .occision. He had been confined these,
and, begging at the grate, was accosted by a; ric'
widow, who asked him what sum would pnrchase Li
liberty ? She paid it down, took him into her service,
and afterwards married him. In the
_Chapel v. as au

1454, the year in which he enjoyedikeispour of iieinj

INDIAN LAW.--In at dispute liter,. betW;e3
Indians of the Choctaw tribe (tglany, of Ahocia are con-
stantly in and about New,York), .one stabbed the,osher
with a knife and severely wounded hien • The Ton of
Chief; on being informed of"the circumstacce, m.ent
out to the spot, and withont much; ce.‘,ensgany,shet
the offender, who submitted tt his fate without-A.lam-
mur. and assisted very coolly in placing therin to-bis
breast. This mode of punishiug.offenco tiP'tliii nature
probably is not uncommon among sav;ges, but it ap-
pears singular that the man on whom the assault was
committed should also be condemned to suffer death
because he was wounded. In this case the wounded
Indian was likewise shot, and both were busied in the
same hole.
