Joseph Kerr•appealed against i conviction of John
Hanson, Esq. who sentenced him to pay a penalty of
101. for halkipg cloiks without a license. The con-
viction was set aside because the inforther could not
state the names of the persons to whom he applied to
purchase them, this being essential to a valid conviction.
Thomas Smith was indicted for stealing a peck andl
a half of aeples from the gartln of James Ponfart,
near Fulham, on the 10th of August last.
Mr. Anotrnus, for the prosecution, stated that this
was the first offence tried since the new Act of the
sth of July last, constituting the stealing of apples or
any other fruit, vegetables, etc. from gardens, a felony.
The pros:cutor stated that he was a gardener at
Fulham, and in the afternoon of the 12th of August,
he saw the prisoner in his garden stealing apples. As
he approached him, the prisoner ran, and rnaJe 1)i,
way to. some navigators, near the canal. Witness pur•
sued him, but was ill-used by the navigators, and way
knocked down by the prisoner.

The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to three,
months confinement in the House of Correction, on ac-
count of his conduct to the prosecutor, He also took
occasion to remark, Oat he thought the new Act a
good and useful one, as it would give greater security
to a species of property from which a number vf per-
sons drew a livelihood.

Masters are still at issue.

Governor Toon?, of Georgia, continues his hostile
language against the Government of the States. He
winds up a very witty answer to a message from the
President in this manner :—" The President of the
United States may rest content that the Government
of Georgia cares for no responsibilities in the exercise
of right, and in the execution of its trust, but those
which belong to conscience and to GOD, which, thanks
to him, is equally our GOD as the GOD of the United
States." He seems to contemplate strong measures, for
in another letter he says—" The Government of Georgia
will not retire from the position it occupies to gratify
the agent or the hostile Indians; nor will it do so, I
trust, because it knows that in consequence of dis-
obedience to an unlawful mandate, it may be very soon
recorded that 'Georgia was.'"
Lately, a boy about six years old, at a hou'e in Pem

A short time since one of the lads belonging to the
Record•of6ce, who skpt in the third story, awoke about
two o'clock in the morning, and found himself on a
cherry-tree in a neighbouring garden ; he was entirely

loons. He V 12% wholly unconscious how or when he
got there. Not liking hit roost, the lad scrambled down
and huttied back to bed as fa.t as possible.—New York

The late flight from Dover Cliff is greatly inferior to
the described feat of s rope-dancer, who, on the entrance
of Isabel of Bavaria, wile of Charles the Sixth, into
Paris, fastened a rope from the top of the tower of Notre
Dime to one of the' houses within the 'Change Bridge.
He descended, dancing upon the rape, with a lighted
flambeau in each hand ; passed between blue ta&ty cur •
tains, ornamented with golden fleur-de-lis, which co-
♦ered the bridge; fixed a crown upon Isabel's head, and
re ascending, tetutned in the same manner. it is stated,
that as this was done at night, he was seen in all parts
of Paris and its enviri.ns.

Thursday, the Bth, came on to be tried, before the
Steward of the Barmbot Court, at Ashford in the Peak,
and a twist respectable Special Jury of Miners, a mi-
neral cause, which had excited great intere,t in the
neighbourhood, wherein the proprietors of a mine called
Magoie, were plaintiffs, and a Company designating
themselves the proprietors of a mine, called Maypitts,
were defendants. The question at issue was,. whether
twelve meers of ground, containing twenty nine yards
to the meer, in a rich vein, called 'Bole Vein, within the
manor and liberty of Ashford, belonged to the plain-
tiffs or the defendants? and it appeared in evidence
that the plaintiffs had, at a very considerable expense,
sunk a new engine shaft on the Bole Vein, and erected
a building for a fire-engine, and expended nearly one
thousand pounds to un watt'. the mines when the defend-
ants, who had o itnessed the progress of the proceedings,
laid claim to the vein upon which the engine was elect-
ing and the shaft actually sunk, and attempted 'o make
claim through a person of the name of John Naylor,
who, it turned out in the investigation of the cause, had
worked as a miner for the plaintiffs, in this same vein,
for nearly five years. The plaintiffs made out a clear
and satisfactory title by documentary evidence, which
WAS attempted to be answered by parole evidence by
the de:endants ; and, after eight hours' investigation,
the Jury retired, and brought in
,their verdict to: the
twelve meets of ground for the plaintiffs.
Mr. Cook, of the firm of " Newberry, San, and
Cook," who was so dreadfully beaten, and robbed of
his money, pocket-book, watch, chain, seals, and other
property, by three footpads, between Halberton and
Tiverton, on the 26th ult. has received a letter from
Mr. Skinner, silversmith, of Exeter, stating that the
watch and its appendages are in his possession. A tail
man took them to Mr. Skinner's shop on Saturday, the
27th, (the day after the robbery),nifering the whole for
sAle at 21. 10s. Mr. Skinner, not liking the man's ap-
pearance. told him if he would take 11. for, his present
purposi,. and call-on the Monday following, he would
e•; v him .the value. The fellow, (who answers very
accurately Mr. Cook's' description of Ape of his assail-
ants) took the pound, and left the articles ; but he has
never called since. He told Mr. Skinner that he had
been to see his friends in London and was then return-
ing to Falmouth, the place of his residence.
