TO THE EDITOR. OF THE NORTH WALES

CHRONICLE..
" Sta,.—May I request of you to insert in your paper
the annexed certificate from one of the most respectable
ship-builders in Liverpool, which I hope may he the means
of removing from the public mind the censure occasioned by
a letter delivered to the Citroen of Beaumaris, by the Fore-
man of the Jury, along with their verdict. which is totally
false as regards the seaworthiness of the vessel, and which
will be proved by competent persons to be the case. At
the same time I cannot conclude without stating that the
Foreman of the Jury. on the morning the verdict was give°,
allowed to myself that he did not pretend to know anything
himself about the seaworthiness of vessels, and yet only a
few boars afterwards signed his name to a document on ti.•
subject of which he himself pleaded ignorance.
"I am, respectfully, WILLIAM WATSON."
" We, the undersigned, do hereby certify that in Decem-
ber, 1830. we were employed by William Watson, of Liver.
pool, to repair the steam-packet Balmy Castle, of Glasgow.
and that the said vessel, after having received such repairs.
was tight, staunch, and strong, to perform any voyage coast.
whe as her owner might think proper to employ her in; and
further, should It be required, we are ready to make oath as
to the contemned the above statement.--Given under out
hands this 21st day of August, 1831.

At a meetifie of the York rite Commissioners on Tuesday
Len a petition, numerously aid respectably signed, was re-
lented from the inhabitants of Walingate, praying the Com-
missioners to flag the smith side of Otat Street, fro it Neuf-
gate SO the Bar. The petition revived every consideration,
but fur want of funds, a resolution was passed, that the
prayer could not at present be granted. We believe, as teem
as the Commissioners shall have funds at their disposal, it
is their intention to have every street in the city not only
• flagged, but effec.ually payed.
BOOTII4aI Bac —ln our paper of the 6:h inst. we called
rate attention of the public to the present state of Bootham
Bar, and the unsightly entrance into the city from the north.
It gives us great pleasure in being able this week to state,
that our recommendations have been taken up in the maxi
spirited manner; and from the perfectly good feeling which
we understand exists between all the parties interested, we I
feel confident that tee long we shall have to congratulate ,
our fellow-citizens, upon this part of our ancient city being
• improved to the fullest extent et their 'frisbee.
Bea WALL!. —We most earnestly invite the attention of I
our fellow townsmen to the city walls ; the style in which
they have been repaired reflects the greatest possible credit
en the managers of the restoration. It is requisite to take a I
walk on the Nortinetreet walla fully to estimate the worth of I
*this delightful promettaile, to all connected with York.
Of the public spirit of the town of Whitby there have i
recently been many favourable indications. Little more I
than three months ago, we announced the commencement of o
a light-house upon the fine pier of Whitby harbour. We i
have now the pleasure of stating, that this useful work is '
nearly completed, and in a style and manner highly ere- I
ditable to tile commissioner* of the piers. i
• In Saddleworth, the late storm of thunder and lightning 1
of Tuesday was at once megitificent and terrific. The than- 1
der reverberated amongst the mountains in a very unusual I
manner, and the ligh • g. which was peculiarly vivid, ap- i
peered to fill the values with dame. The house of Mr. J.
Shaw, at Height's Barn, near Delphi, was struck by the elect 1
Inc fluid, which penetrated from the roof to the foundation, 1
shivering the glass in one of the windows to pieces, without i
melting, or even bending the lead. The family, in their I
alarm, took refuge in the cellar, where the mistress and a i
servant-maid were struck down by the lightning, without I
suffering any material injury, but Mr. Shaw himself received 1
a I violent a shock as to deprive him of motion, and for souse i
time he appeared to be dead. On being !nought into the I
own ale, animation gradually returned, and he is mow in a i
fair way of recovery. 1

A Quoit Match for twenty guineas aside between Wm.
Farrar. of Woodhouse, and David Mann, of Holbeck, to
determine which could throw the discus, or quoit, with the
gat:mesa precision, came off on liesturday. Accordiag to the
articles three games of eleven thrusts each were to be played
ea lintisiet Moor, and three on Woodhouse Moor; the dis. ,
mace 18 yards, each player to please himself as to the weight ,
of his quoits. In courequence of Aleuts's tuperior playing

•hey had. as they said, 'Well so long deprived. In conse-
quence of this announcement. witness issued a cautionary
notice, stating that the inclosure had taken place under the
authority of the 48th Gem. 111. c. 72. the prnvisions of
which were the same as those of the 20th Charles 11. e. 3,
by which it was enacted, that 11.0008 ms of the forest *hook'
lie +thirst* set apart as a nursery for ti nber, and that the
Lords of the Treasury might, when they saw that the tim-
ber was out of danger and prnperly preserved against
cattle, throw the Forest open to the Public. On Sunday,
Mh June, witness, who had some pr.iviotts interviews with
the prisoner, had some conversation with him on the subject
of the intended meeting on the Bth. Witness asked him
how he could think of mi.leading the people in the way he
was doing, anti told hint that he would bring himself and
them into trouble. His answer was, "0, we are all right;
the forest was given up to us in Parliament last year."—
Witness said to the persons who was assembled round,
" This isahsurd ; if you allow yourselves to be drawn on by
a man who can say nothing more to the purpose than this,
it will be your own fault." The prisoner said," 0, I have
the act of Parliament." Witness asked him why he did
not bring it down and show it to him ? He said he would.
On Wednesday, the Bth, 'fitness went to the prisoner's
house between six and seven o'clock in the morning. The
prisoner was not at horde, bet witness sent for him, and he
came in about five minutes, accompanied by 12 or 14 persons.
Witness remonstrated with him upon his proceedings, and ,
said, " You tell one person you have au act of parliament, and
another that you have a charter; if you have any document,
why don't you produce it ?" He said, " I have a charter."
Witness said, " Where is it ?" He replied, "In that
house," pointing to his own house, "and I will get it."
He went into the house, and in a minute ot two retorted,
with a pick-age on his shoulder. He turned away from wit-
ness and went, followed by the persons who were assembled,
rewards Park-hill enclosure. Witness and Mr. Henry
Davis, another magistrate, went in that direction. The pri-
soner and hie party took up their station about 100 yards
from Park-bill enclosure, on rising ground. He went to the
enclosure-gate, where the special constables were stationed,
and was joined by small parties in different dlreCtions. '
They continual to arrive until the number amounted to
between 100 and 200. About eighty of them had spades
and pick-azes. They flourished them about their heads, and
struck them violently Into the ground. Mr. Davis went and
talked with them, and some of them withdrew. They at last
made a rush in a body towards the inclosure. Witness
said, "I forbid you touching the bank of the inclosure."—
When they came within about ten yards of the inclosure
the prisoner made a rush with his pick-axe. and struck into
it. Some one said, " There's • first blow ;" and then all
the party began to pull down the fences. Witness coup. '
manded them, in the King's name, to disperse. There were
about eighty working at the fences with tools, and one hun-
tired standing by. Some were working without tools. They
persisted in their work of demolition. and witness then took
the last volume of Burn, and read the riot act. They still
persisted, and in about twenty minutes the riot act wee read
again by another magistrate. Witness continued with them
till about a quarter past eight. They were still engaged In
their surk of destruction, aid the pnsuner with them.
S.vaal other witnesses baring been examined in support
of the charge, Mr. C. Phillips submitted list there was no
evidence to show that the prisoner bad remained with the
mob fot one hour continaously after the reading of the
riot act.

Mr. Justice Pension said, that though it might be true
that no eye saw the prisoner for an hour continuously after
the proclamation had been made, still it would be a question
tot the jury, whether, in pulut of fact, he did Dot remain
with tit.: mob during that time.
The jury, atter a 'hart consultation, found the prisoner
Dolby, but recommended him to mercy on account of his
former good LbalaCter.
Judiutent of death was then recorded.
berets, other persons who had taken part in the riots, out
of which this pna.ecution arose, were afterwards tried and
convicted upon indictments for miatiemeanour.

young Karl of Glamorgan. The Marquis and Masehitiocza
of Worcester, the young Earl of Giamorgast, Loud and Lady

or the I Ith 1.i,111t Diag.sons enlivened the smut.
' U.. Tuesday etentog, a threw% ul the partithiontra of

The resolutions Leneatit were then severally put, and car-

lat. That the system of Select Vestries, as it exists in
this city, ha. been productive of sums abuses in the eppur-

immediately checked, had those sel.•elee:ted bodies been

which is congenial to the hughsti coaatitradmi ; and that a
