HICH COURTOF JUSTICLIR r, EDINBURGH.

Tuesday came on before this Court the trial of Ro-
lett Ferguson, paper-maker at Airthrie Mills, Stirling-
shire, accused of forging a stamp in imitation of the
King's stamp for marking paper, and also of forg-
ing the officer's name. The prisoner pleaded—not
guilty.—A number of objections was made by his
Counsel, Mr. JEMMY, to the relevancy of the indict-
' ment, which were answered by the Counsel for the
Excise. The Court repelled the objections, and a Jury
being chosen, the trial proceeded. A number of wit-
nesses were examined on the part of the prosecution,
and also in exculpation, which occupied the Court till
eight in the evening. One of the prisoner's witnesses
was committed to prison for prevarication. Th4o-
licitor-General charged the Jury for the Excise, and
Mr. JEFFREY made a most ingenious defence for his
client. Lord Justice Clerk summed up the whole
with his usual candour and ability. After I I o'clock
the Jury were inclosed, and were appointed to give in
their verdict next day at ten o'clock.
Wednesday the Court met again, when the Jury re-
turned their verdict, all in one voice finding the pri-
soner guilty of having in his possession, in the month
of July last, and vending certain reams of paper, har-
ing upon the wrappers thereof counterfeit marks and
stamps, knowing them to be forged. A plea was
urged by the prisoner's Counsel in arrest of judgment,
which was overruled; and after a suitable exhortation
from the Loan JusTrun CLERK, he was adjudged to
be transported beyond seas for seven years.

A fall in the price of corn is expected, we are con-
fidently assured ; owing to the large quantities ex-
pected by licence from France. Certain Commissio-
ners who were buying up corn in the country for
Bristol, hare, in consequence, received orders to stop
their purchases ; and even to disertingle themselves
from zil such engagements as may not have amount-
ed to actual contracts.

At the general quarter sessions for the. county of
Cornwall, held last week at Bodmin, Mr. 'Anthony
Williams, of Falmouth, a respectable draper, was
fined 4.01. (at the suit of Mr. George Woolcock) for
carrying on the trade of a tailor, to which he had not
been bred. By an Act of Parliament; it appears,
that any person who shall set up any handicraft trade,
without having previoasl.; served seven years appren-
ticeship to the same, or having worked at it seven
years without interruption, renders himself liable to
the penalty or Ver month, for every month he
shall have carrieclon the same : and it wag upon this
Act that Mr. Woolcock sued and recov;red.

At the late Quarter Sessions for Stamford, in Lin-
colnshire, J. Sapcote was convicted of a most brutal
assault, and sentenced to three months imprisonment,
and to find Sureties for three years, himself in 401. and
two sureties in 201. each. It appeared, that on the 21st
of August, about two o' clock in the morning, Mr.
Gibson, of Burley, was passing by the house of the
prisoner, who was beating his wife in so unmerciful a
manner, that Mr. G. attracted by the cries of murder,
went in to her relief, and was immediately attacked
by the prisoner, and narrowly escaped with his life.
Before he went in, and after he cane out, he had ap-
plied to the watchmen to assist him, but they refused,
on the ground that tkeir time of watching had ended,
and that they ha i no right to enter a house, nor power
to prevent murder from being committed in it. The
Recorder severely reprobated the conduct ()idle watch-
men; and with respect to the defence set up by the pri-
soner that his house was his castle, he declared, that
no man's house could be a sanctuary for a breach of
the peace ; and that, upon an. alarm of violence, all
persons had a right to enter and succour the dis-
tressed.

A young man, of high respectability, Secretary to
a Nobleman, stands charged with forgery to a consi

to have carried on his depredations to the tune ol
some hundreds of pounds.
Friday afternoon, as a woman was hanplug out
some linen at the second floor ; wah.ow of a house in
Barrett's court, Oxford-street, she unfortnnat,•ly
reached too far, and, losing her balance, fell into the
court, and was killed on the spot.
Alresford lair, on Thursday last, was very !thine-
roasly attended, and a large quantity of sheep and
lambs were penned, which met a brisk sale; ewes from
:As. to 255. per head, and lambs .<los. to ‘.!Ss.
Weyhill Fair was held last week, but less business'
was done than in ally former year w ithin recollection.
This is greatly attributable to the state of the hop
market and the stock of hops —The growers had no
great quantity for sale; but the great consume) s Lav-
ing made large purchases in the two last years, had
mosxly an adequate quantity in band for a year':; use
in the breweries, and there was theref;)re no great.
mand even for the quantity offered fOr sale..' The
prices on Thursday were Farnhareas 111. to 121. coun-
try hops, 91. to 10. 10s. On Friday OA sale Was still
j duller, Farnhams, 91. to 101. 10s. country Lips 71. 7s.
to SI. 15s.

Saturday, a child two years 61 age, son of Mr.
White, in Holywell-street, Strand, fell into a tub of
boiling water, and died on Sunday morning in great
agony.

An extra set of Blue Coat Boys are engaged for
Friday next, to attend the Drawing of the Lottery,
in order to convey the tidings of the Capital Prizes
to the respective Lottery Offices. They will hive
rare employment, and there is no doubt but they will
be amply rewarded : R 200,000 Prize Money must
he distributed, and may be had at Hormsur and
Co.'s, No. 26, Conlin, and St. Margaret's. Hill,
Borough.
