NUISANCE.-THE KING V. EDMUND%TEVENS.

This was an indiament for a nuifance. The
Defendant is a dealer in old iron, and a rag-mcp
chant. It was alledged that he had placed a cart
in a common footpath in Grofvenor Market, Da.
vies•Rreet, in cunfequence of which a perfon had
received a material injury. This *fon, whole
name is Petrie, and who is a hair-drellcr,was called.
He Rated, that od the evening of the 12th of De-
cember, about ten o'clock, as he was going through
Grofvenor Market, which is a common footpath,
he Rumbled over the fhafts of a cart which lay in
the way ; he fell and broke his breall bone, and
was otherwife very much bruited. He was taken
Ito St. George's Hofpital, where he was confined
for three weeks, before he was able to go abroad
and attend to his bounds. On his crofs-exami-
nation he faid, that he was perfeetly fober at the
time, and was going to call on Mr. Glafsly re•
fpeßing a wig which he had to make for Lord
Robert Manners, and which was particularly
wanted on the following day. lie denied that he
was merely going to that perfon to inform him
that a fortunate number was up a prize, and did
not know that the Defendant had laid that he
might as well have run his head againa the pump
in the market as tumbled over the cart, which
flood out of the way of faker people. He had no
other reafon for indiEting him but on account of
his behaving ungenerous, in not offering him more
than half-a-guinea for the injury, and his luf's of
time.

The Counfel on both fides contelled the point,
as to the faEl of the market being a common toot.
path. A plan of it was fulnuitted to the Jury, and
explained by feveral witnefles, who all concurred.
in Rating that it is a common footpath, ant not
a high road for the admiffron of carts and horfes.
It is built in a triangular fbrm. The Learned
Counfel four the Defendant laid, that when his
client offered half.a.guinea as a compenfation, it
was the utmoll fum his finances could afford ; and
that, beir.g a man who earned his livelihood by
buying oid rags and iron, he was not iu a fituation
to pay any fine.
' The Cu Aix 14 AM laid there was no queßion in
raft, as the market was clearly proved to be a cons
mou footpath, and coofclucut/y acDciendsat tad

cad, the Jury would have no hefitation in finding
him guilty. The Jury immediately finer.; hien

tion of the Matter, was alto held on Lieutenant

In the evening of Sunday fe'nnight an alarm-
ing fire broke out in the Blue Bell publichuufc at
Clinton, near Peterborough, which raged with
fuch fury, owing to the then dry flute of the
thatch and timber, that in lets than half an hour
the honk was burnt to the ground, and part of
two adjoining tenements were confirmed. The
fire was occafioned by a young woman dropping
a candle in a bed-room, where a quantity of glean.
ings WAS depolited, which inflantly taking fire,
communicated to the roof: not an article of fur-
niture could be fared, and with difficulty the chil-
dren in bed were refeued from the flames.
r Friday night, between eight ,and nine o'clock,
a fire broke out in an adjoining houfe of a cotton-
work at the head of the Green, Glafgow, but by
timely affiflance of the water engines, and the ex
enjoin of the people affembled, it was happily gof
under by eleven o'clock, though not without c.-
firoying a great quantity of cotton, and demolifh-
ing the building in vitich it took place. A party
of the Edinburgh Militia immediately attended,
and were of great ft-twice in keeping off the croud.
The fullwing 1.1...1 melancholy vent to..k place
on Holy.lfland Sands on Saturday te'unight.—
Two pollillions in the of Mr. Mstwocas,
vintner, of W0n1erH...,,-;:,-head, were en the after
noon of that Jay employed with four litotes, ie
conycOng a gentlen.aire.arriacc, in which were
hinfteiland family, to Holy Itiand. About nine
in the evening, the pollillions fat out on their re-
nun homewards, watt their horf:s and flintily
after a thick fog came on. Strong apprehenfions
were in confeqiicnee entertained by the illanders fur
their fafety, which next morning were found too
fatally verified ; for foon after day-light, the bo.
dies of the two unhappy men, andone of the hor•
fes, were difcovered lifelefs on the Etniy waße.
Another houfe, which by Tome means furvived,
God motionl.f. betide its dead companion. The
remaining two were miffing; nor have we yet heard
whether they have been found, or whether we mutt
conclude that they were buried in quickfand.

The two men were lying at 2 (mall diftancc from
e:uh other; the ftce ()lone of them was much cut,
owing, probitYy to the Rwigglet of the drowning
holes. Of the unfortunate Marc s, one has left
a wire and fix children.
