who la:,1 he fh...il I tin the fame as his neislillours,.
th tt he would nnt inceupon his oldcnmpolition,
and had adnally tatted niFhis crop without fettim_t,

tight of After the c. op had been taken of,
the plaitriff fent a r n;-otal of what fum he was
inclined to accera in lieu of ihe mile, which was
ohjeded to on the part of the def-ndant, and thc
prefent adion was commenced. The defendant
finding a licit at law entered againil him, exprelled
his wiilitigtiefs to comply, rather than to litigate
the aff..ir, and bad tendered the film demanded by
the plaintiff ; that, howcvei, (-lid the Learned
Couniel, would ferve the defendant, it nein.4
no waver of the adion, as the plaintiff had
in take it. He lhonld only remark, in addition
to what he had fold, that .t new incumbent was
tot bound by any agreement• the old Redor had
entered iato with the parillii,.ners, and had aright
to demand his tythe in kind, if he thought proper.
Mr. Guy was then put into the bor, who Elated,
that he had been applied to by tha plaintiff a
month after his prefentation, to make a fair valua-
tion of the tythe. He had done In, and thought
the advance demanded by the Redor a very rea-
tenable one. On ero's-esaiiina!ion, he laid, the
competition paid by the defendant to the old in-
cumbent was 71. I6s. and that demanded by the
new one was 241. los. He added, that in his op_i-
'ion, the tythe was worth upwards of 301. He
alfo knew of the plaintiff's fending his propnfal,
and of Mr. Stevens tenderino. the 241 los. Come
time afterwards.

James Oddy, a labourer, faid, he went by the
plaintiff's defire on the day the defendant was cart-
ing his crop, and defacd to fee the parfon's tythe
fet out. Mr. Stevens was in the field, and faid he
knew nothing of the witnefs, and fhould go on
carting, unlefs he fetched a note from Mr. Brookf-
by, that it was his with that the tythe fhould be
fet out, in which cafe he would comply, and fet it
out. As to the cornpofition, all the farmers in the
parifh, faid the defendant, have refufed to pay
more than they did to Mr. Howe, and he did not
fee why he fhould fet the example of an advance
any more than his neighbours ; if they had no
right to pay more, he had no right. This conver-
fawn, added the witnefs, took place on the t zth
of June, I So t, the defendant was carrying off do-
ver. He came back and told Mr. Brooklby what
had been faid, but had no orders to return again
with any note. In the Odober following he wot
to the defendant, and demanded a tythe of fume
parts he had gathered. He gave me fix dozen,
taking nine for himfelf, and giving me every tenth
parr, as he counted them. On crols•examination,
he laid, the compofition had dually been raid by
the farmers about Michaelmas, at which time the
defendant had made a tender Of-the 241. cos.
Mr. GARROW made a moft able fpecch in de-
fence, of which, from its extreme length, we re•
gret we are enabled to give only a faint outline.—

ed In not letting nut his tythe, tials he had agreed
to pay a compofition in lieu of it; but he would
fay, that in the prefent in:lance the farmer was el.:-
luded into a belief that the clergyman meant to
take a ccamollit.,l; and if lie did, the law would
not fuller a man to pl,4y lid and loofe with his en-
gagcon.nt, ;m:1 opportunity lerves, bring his

:o phintiff, who, if lie had aftcd pro-
b.zvc I:tt down ar•.d wrote a pcictnp-

was the r&rmer to infer ? Why, that the Reeler had
,•onfentecito hi • carr in 7 his crop, and that he would
ircept his compd', ion whgt the time lhottld ar-
rive for its payment. At that time the defendant
•endered the advanced 4:amnion:ion, 241. los. ob.
fervi;:g to the plaintiti; " Sir, you have font me
two piou, fiti.ats for my choice., ei her to pay a
nmp Ci:ion, or to fet out my tythe ; I have
.1/too:A the firmer, and here is the rntracy." It
wAs reinfed, and a penal aaion the conferptence.
;'teat anion, he would cont.md, not in law
re mair.t.dited, as the plaintiff's condita, in not
f•Hin7 back an an.Wer by the f:rvant, would con-
Ai • me a waver of the demand he had made, and
the penalty tirtA fall to the gromid. He fhould
only add, that it clergymen v. oitl.l row and then
put up with a little la<, rather than fcrew up their
tythes to the !nylon extent, it would be more
honoorable tn the Rev. Prole:ion. It an informer
hronnt :tn aaion againfl a clergyman for non-
r-!i:iercy, there was an immediate outcry raifecl of
11:.! extr•ii.e opprt Ilion (f the Penal Statutes, and
tit hAr.ifhips of Cicrgymen being fubje& to loch
refirdin-A ; Cl.rgymen lhoti'd therefore be caution;
hem t:,ey came themfelves into a Court to fin: fir
penalties; or, if they (1:d, they thntild firft take
care their own c:indod was not equivocal, and that
it was intpnbibie their 14114h:otters thould miitake
their meaning.
Tie Learned Judge fummed np the evidence,
and agi eed with \.r. Gai row, th.it the piaintiii
thottld have returned an anftv:•r to the metrage fent
by Oddy, and that having failed ti do In, it mutt
be confidered as a waver of his demand to lie out
the tythe in kind. He thought, therefore, under
all thefe circumliances, that the defendant was en•
titled to a verdia.—Verdid for the Defendant.

READING, JOEY 3r.—At the alliZe3 for this
county, held at Abingdon, this week, the follow-
in.; pi i!bncrs were capitally convided and received
f....tvice of death, viz.—John It) an, for the mur- '
.!sr of Henry Frewin, at Butcher's Green ; Thos.
Tombs, for robbing Elizabeth Mucklow and Mar-
tha Collins,on the highway in the Etat of Burl;
and Daniel Belton, for Realing a quantity of tilk
ribbons, the property of Emily Snow, milliner, of
Windfor. Ryan was left fur execution, and the
two latter were reprieved.—Berry James, for de-
frauding Mary Ann Jones, and another young wo-
man, a: Butted!, of three 7s. pieces and two gold
t ings, under pretence of telling their fortunes, was
fentenced to be imprifoned and kept to bard la-
bour for fix months ; Thomas Hall, for dealing a
Slyer table fpoon, the property of Daniel Jones, of
E.trle7, to he imprifoned one month, and once
privately whipped; Mary Belton and Mary Giles,
on Itifpicion of receiving the filk ribbons Rolm by
David Belton; William Oakley, on fufpicion of
healing two iron gates, the property of Edward
Stephenfon, Efq. of Farley•hill ; and Mary Ben-
ham and Jane Benham, on fnfpicion of the murder
of a Ward child, were feverally acquitted. -
At the above Affixes, a caufe was tried before
Mr. jUiIiCG LAWR ENG' and a Speciagury, where-
in Mr. John Wellbrook, of Hawes ill Farm, in
the Parifh of Bray, was plaintiff, and Richard
Garnet, one of his Majeay's rime-keepers, was
defendant. The quellion at iffue was, whether
the defendant, as one of his Majelly's fervants,
was authorifed to kill game on the plaintiff's lands,
which lie within the limits and bound:tries of the
Forel of Windfor ? It was contended by the
Counfel for the plaintiff, that the lands in quer-
fion being inclofed, were not fubjed to Foreft
rights. On the part of the defendant it was proved,
that he was the immediate (errant of the King,
and it was infiffed by his Counfel, that by the es-
illing laws, the King, as paramount Lord of the
Forell, had a right of Free Warren over all the
inclofed and open parts of the Foreff, and confe-
quently could exercife the right by himfelf or his
deputies.—The Learned Judge, in fumming up
to the Jury, moll clearly acquiefced in the latter
pnfition, and a verdia was accordingly found fur
the defendant.—There was a fecond action againit
the defendant inr recovery of penalties under the
Game Laws ; but the decifion of the Court ir, the
aaion of trefpafs, induced the plaintiff to withdraw
this record in the penal action.
Yefterday, in purfuance of his fentence, lohn
Ryan was executed at the drop at our gaol, for the
murder of Henry Frewin, at Bircher s-gicen, near
Maidenhead Thicket on the 22d of May laft.—
Since his condemnation he has confeffed the dread-
ful but faid it was done in the heat of paf-
lion tOr that he and the deceafed had a quarrel
the preceding evening, about paying a reckoning,
and that the quarrel was renewed as they were
walking home together, and that in his paffinn he
(truck Frewin a violent blow on the right temple
ith a large piece of wood he was carrying home
for firing, which brought him to the ground; he
then lifted him up, but conceiving him pall reco-
vcrv, lie gave him another blow, which quite kill-
ed hilt. He took from him his watch, nine Mil-
lings in ulcer, his tobacco-box and a knife. He
then put the body in a pit dole by, and covered it
with conch grafs. It was a fortnight before the
body was difeovered, and during that time as he
paired the fpot every morning and evening to and
lions his work, he had feveral times renewed the
covering of grafs, which had been removed by
d.igs, that had preyed upon the body. From the
time of his commitment to the day he fuffered, he
deported himfelf with a moll becoming contrition;
as he was a Roman Catholic, he was attended by
a Clergyman of that perfuafion. He was brought
on the drop between 12 and one o'clock, and atter
about ten minutes Brent in prayer, he was launched
into eternity. He was an Irithman, about 24
years of age, and had been a foldier in the Qleen's
Bays, but at the time he committed the murder,
he and the deceafed both worked together as la-
bourers for JOHN SAWY ER, Efq. at White Waltham.
Fa ewin was born at Ipfden, Oxon, and was be-
tween 6. and 7o years of age. Ryan's body is
given to the furgeons for public &Minn.

At the Liverpool Seffion on Tuefday,/Sam
7k/mar was fentenced to a 8 months imp, ifonment,
and to be twice whipped, for rioting ; and Milian;
Dale, 1.4. alike offence, and forcing the noter•wall
