LAW INiaIIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, JOLT 26.
When the business of the Court commenced,
Mr. SWORN begged to interrupt it, for the purpose
of apprising the Court that the King's Advocate and
Dr. Phillim,re wercattending in a case, and waiting to
be called within the bar.
The ATTORNRY•GERRRAL was not at all awareeither
of the vistom nr necessity of such formality.
Mr. &toms did not think it was customary for such
neighbouring Learned Gentlemen to take their seats
within the bar in this Court without the special invita-
tion of his Lordship.
The ATTORNRY-GENERAT. very well recollected that
the last occasion on which Civilians attended, they took
their seats within the bat without Lord Eldon inviting
them.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that whatever was the
custom upon this point, he could very easily put an
end to the discussion, by observing sincerely that he,
should be very happy to see the Learned Gentlemen
within the bar.
The Learned Doctors then bowed to the Court, and
took' their seats, one on the tight and the other on the
left of Mr. SUoDIN.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

DORCHESTkR, Jinx 26.
The Assizes have commenced here today. There are but seven
cases in the Calendar—two of home stealing, three of burglary, sed
two of larceny.
Mr. Justice •Lerrteriatz, in addressing the Grand
Jury, expressed his great satisfaction on perceiving that
the number of prisoners for trial was not more than one-
fourth of those who had been tried at the last Assizes,
while the offences of this lesser number of prisoners
were of the ordinary kind, neither distinguished by any
novelty io their nature, or aggravation in the circum-
stances. His Lordship said that he had been happy to
observe a similar diminution of crime in the other towns
through which he had passed upon the Circuit, and
,thotigh the time which had elapsed between the last
and present Assizes was shorter than the interval be-
tweets the last and preceding Assizes,. yet his Lordship
thought that the diminution of crime was greater in
proportion than might have been expected from the dif-
ference of time alone. There was no case in the Calen-
dar which called for any particular observations.
The Grand Jury then retired, and in the course of the
day returned bills against all the prisoners.
Robert Barnes was convicted upon the clearest evi-
dence of horse stealing.
William Pat, Esq. a Grand Juror, gave the prisoner
a most excellent character. He had known him from
his birth, and lived in the same parish for 25 years,
and never beard the slightest imputation upon hii bo-
nesty. Not sentenced.
Crvu. Sma—Before Mr. Justice NIX.
The business in. this Court was trifling and uninterest-
ing, to a degree altogether unprecedented. All the
cases have been decided in the course of the day.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YORK, Jinx zz.
Before Mr. Justice BAYLEY.
CIVIL SIDIL.—MAY W. ROOKER AND MOODY.
Mr. BROUGHAM said this was an action brought to
recover compensation in damages for the injury which
the plaintiff had suffered from an assault and false im-
prisonment, of which the defendants were the authors.
The plaintiff was a soil respectable surgeon at Tick-
hill;, and, the defendants were, the one a farmer, and
the other a constable in the same place. They were
very near neighbours. • The premises of the plaintiff
and rf the defendant Booker were only divided by
e wall. With respect to this some dispute had arisen
between them. One afteinoon, the 12th of April last,
while the plaintiff was quietly and inoffensively stand-
ing at the door of his house, the defendant Moody
addressed him with the expression "I want you
plaintiff was naturally .offended at this observa-
tion, and told him that if he touched* him, he would ,
knock him down. On this Moody raised his staff, and
said that if he did not instantly accompany him, he,
would split his skull; while this discussion was pro-
ceeding, Mr. Booker was standing on the top of the wall,
encouraging the constable to take the plaintiff into cus-
tody. He continued screaming out, "Take him to the
lobby; he iSa rogue, like his father." The plaintiff was
accordingly taken to the lobby ; this was a rodm at the
very top of the poor-house, and was at the timeraques-
ticm used for confining felons; it had lately had some
persons of that description as inmates, and io order to
present escape, every crevice had been stopped tip. The
intermit atmosphere was thus rendered so close that no
one could remain in it long without being suffocated.
The defendants bad justified under a Magistrate's war-
rant, but it would be proved that the warrant had not
been procured until after the removal of Mr. May to the
lobby.. Thus the justification would fail altigether,l
and it would be for she Jury to say what the plaintiff
deserved as a comprusation for the onwarrantable out-
rage to which he had beet' subjected on the past of the
defendants.
These facts were proved by a number of witnesses.
•:The July found a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damagesl
Thirty Pounds; Costs, Forty Shillings.
NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—BEDFORD, Jura 25.
A man named Johu ,tastoje was -indicted for the
mustier of his wife. Janet Eastaffe. It appeared that
inthe seer 1819, the prisoner married a woman named
• Jacks Lynch, and then left Bedfordshire, where he was
bo; n, for London! In the month of May or Juoe,lB2l,
the erisnner came down to Leighton, and on the morn-
ing of the 15th of August, 1821, the body of a woman
was found in a place called Blackgrove-wood ; the
throat was cut in a dreadful manner, and it was evident
she had been murdered. About that tinie she was seen
in the company of the prisoner near the wood. Defy'
lived on the worst terms, and the prisoner, in speiking
of her, said he would one day knock her i,n the head:
Some time after, the murder was committed the prisoner,
said his wife was dead and had been buried, but
upon the re4ister of the parish being searched where
the prisoner said his wife had been barred, an
entry of that deaeriitiod could not be found. The
most important .etrillence to identify the body of the de-
ceased was her mds*l, who had been married a second
time to a person named Downing, and who was not in
attendance. On the part of the prisoner it was proved
that he was at. Leighton, working in the fields for a Mr.
Smith, and was employed there at the very time he was
stated to have beers in the society of the deceased,
shortly before she was murdered. Mr. Shepherd, a
grocer, in Eseter-street, Sloane-street, Chelsea, and
Mr. Salmon. whir keeps a ham and beef shop in Queen's-
buildings, Knightsbridge, proved that the deceased was
a woman of loose character. In the year 1824 she was
upon the town; 'and Mr. Salmon said, he had reason
so believe that she was living in Francis-street, Blacks
friars, as she gave him a card of her address at that
place. He had heard from her mother that she was
sessrried. The Jury, after, alter a long consultation, re
-
Wised a verdict of— Not Guilty.

Thomas Cave And George Nightingale were indicted
for assau tMg William Dunn, and stealing from him

verhami too, and on the night of the .rbbhery they me;
the prosecutor, and having knocked him :down, to(

from him the money named in the indicttnent, which
was his week's wages.
On being cross.examined, by Mr.C. Patt.l.ol,,the
prosecutor said. he was not disposed ,to quarrel when this
circumstance took place, but WAS then, as he was allays,
disposed to go a mile out of the way io avoid 'a 4ht.
He was quite sober at the time, not. having ;Spent any
of his wages.
Cave having admitted, on being apprehended, that
be was sorry for what lie had done, and there being no
evidence to criminate Nightingale, exceFt,his being in
company with Cave, the Jury acquitted Nightingale,
and found Cave Guilty.—Death recorded.

Peter Buffieres, a Priest in Limosin, who lived ity.the
16th century, was celebrated for the singularity of his
sermons. As his parishioners did not pay much atten-
tion to his strange orders, he was extremely indignant,
and on one occasion addressed them—" Ou the day of
' judgment, when the Lone shall require sm account of
you Item me, and shall say, "Father Peter Buffieres, in
what situation did you find your Hoek?' I will give no
answer. And when he again asks in what situation have
yeti left your flock? I will not answer. 'But when he,
questions me the third time, then will I say, Loan! as
beasts I received them, and as beasts I render therm
to you." •
la consequence of the want of employment, arising
fieim a redundancy of population, and other causes,
hundreds of our poorer countrymen on the western
coast are now quitting their native shores for North
America. A brig went off lately from the Isle of Har-
ris, freighted with passengers for Upper Canada; and,
on the 4th in,t. two Vessels sailed from Loch Maddy, in
North Ults, with no less than 600 souls os board. An.
other is daily expected to sail from Canna; and as fresh
exportations will follow whenever opportunities occurs
a check will be given, for at least some time, to the
effects of our rapidly increasing population. The emi-
grants who have sailed from North Urn, left it under
pitiable circumstkhtes. The way in which they accom.-
pits!) their departure is as follows : A person, who is
styled the Emigrant Agent, goes about soliciting the
natives, to sign a paper, by which they bind themselves
to sail in his ship. Those who have not money to. de-
fray the expenses of the passage, give"up their all to
the Agent, and in this way, cows, sheep, horses, and
other moveables, are converted into cash. Having got
a sufficient number of passengers, the Agent charters a.
vessel. The whole of the vessel• is fitted up with berths
on each side, one above the other, and five adults are
crammed into one bed.. The charges are—for a pes-
tle to Quebec, Pictou, er Miramichi, three guineas,
exclusive of provisions, for all persons above fourteen
years of age. Two cliddrettof from seven to fourteen
years old, tonne as one adult, and three are taken when
they are below the age of seven. Four guineas and a
ball arecharged when provisions are found by the ship.
Of the misery and distress to Which these departures
'give rise, the anguish attending the itindering of (anti,
lies, and the breaking up of old ties and affectibns, it
would be vain to attempt a Cleactiption. No man; who
has seen an emigrant ship weigh, anchor, or heard a
Highland family cake leave of their native glens in the
pathetic Gaelic air--o. Cha oil mi tuille"—(we return

policy or national aiiifertune should' ever' compel oqr
poor country men to leave the shores to ihich-tbey-art

Jahn Bretons, a native of the sister island, was charged by a po-
lice Officer withohaving, on Fridays night about twelve o'clock, been
found in West-street. reclining on the cold foot-path, and sur-
rounded by a knot of the trail sisterhood. The Wilier e could make

denly seartedap, and resumed animatent—he seized the officer and
shook NM heartily, exclaiming at the same time with no common
vehemence," By J— and I'll see Ireland before I sleep, I will."
The officer being thereby put in bodily terror, had him immediately
removed to the Compeer, and consequently preferred the two-f Old
charge of "being disorderly,' and with "an assault."
At the word aasault', John Brenan seemed astounded. " Imade
no assault at all of it," (said he). 0 I do not know what you call
assaults'in Ireland (said the officer), but I mean to say you assaulted
Me." " Troth, (said John) then you do not knew/ what an assault

socking like an assault." John proceeded to irate, in apology, that

Jinn Ward, the pugilist, was brought up charged with an awaulte
It appears he was riding in a gig, on Friday, and pulled up at a
barber's shop in Mile•etid-rosti, to get shaved. A boy stood in ,
his way, and he gave him a touch with the whip. The lad was
insolent, and Jena made two or three feints at him. which pro-
voked the anger of a little square-built man ; who said Jens ought
to be well thrashed, and that he would do him that favour him-
self. Hewing thus collected a mob, the hero waited till Ward
came out, and then let fly at hint right and left: Ward did not
exactly know what it was all about; bat thought it wise to
return the compliment, and accordingly tapped the man an the
cheek, who forthwith repaired to the Magistrates and obtained
a warrant. On the hearing of the case, the complainant appeared
with several streaks of bites) op his cheek, as evidence of his cruel
treatment for interfering in behalf of a twee lad, who, as he said,
was most denteratclyAvre,ed by Ward; but the Magiurates'ordered
an officer to take hint out and sponge his face, which being done,
scarcely any mark was visible. Several persons spoke to the pro-
vocation Ward received; but, as the assault was admitted by him-
self, the Magistrates ordered him to give the cornplainent Iwo shil-
lings:* but the hero was offended at this low estimate of his suffer-
ings inehe cause of humanity, and refused to take the money,
"which was immediately transferred to the Poor's-box.
