OF wnrtH..

This was an appeal against a rate imposed by the
Sessions of the Township of Wreth, on certain pigs
of lead received by the Earl of Pomfret in part of rent
for lead mines, leased. by him to Messrs. Anderson
and Co. The ground of appeal was, that the re-
ceiving the lead in a manufactured form did not con-
stitute such an occupation as subjected the rent to
the operation of the poor laws. The Court this day
gave judgment in favour of the appellant, thereby
quashing the order of Sessions for the rate.
TDB KING V. BASIL GOOD.

The defendant in -this case was this day brought
up to receive the judgment of the Court, having
been remanded on Monday last, to afford time for
the Court to consider of the sentence which his offence
merited. The defendant, it will be recollected, was
for many years Mayor of Coventry, and supported a
very high character, he was tried upon an information
before Baron RICHARDS, at the last Assizes for the
county of Warwick. The information contained
two counts : the first charging him, he being i Corn-
missioner of Taxes, with conspiring with a person of
the name of Price, a Collector of Assessed Taxes, to
cheat Maria Harris, and other persons, by causing
tickets to be delivered, charging them with taxes
which they were not bound to pay. The second
count charged the defendant, he being a Collector of
Assessed taxes, with having delivered tickets to
certain other persons, assessing them with house and
window taxes, which he afterwards received, but
which he, never carried to his account, thereby defrau-
ding the *Crown. Upon the first count, as to the
conspiracy, he was acquitted ; but upon the second
was found guilty.
Mr. Justice BAILRY this day passed sentence, in
doing which he commented with great severity on
the offence of the defendant. The sentence was,
that he should be imprisoned twelve months in the
County Gaol.

THAMES POLICE.-ROBBERY OF THE COROMANDEL.

—Yesterday the investigation of this daring and atro-
cious robbery was resumed, when Corby and Brown,
suspected of being two of the principals, were put to
the bar and re-examined. From the evidence which
transpired the Magistrate had no doubt of the priso-
ners being concerned in this daring and notorious
piracy, whose intention, no doubt, was to commit
murder as well as robbery, in case they met with te-
.sistance. The prisoners were recommitted.—The
contents of the three chests of dollars, found in Gul-
lan's Reach, is recovered, except the two bass left in
Chapman's boat. The dollars found on Corby and
Brown are supposed to be part of a fourth chest, not
yet chscovered.e

MARRIAGE should be the foundation of sne;al

firmities of old age—the body becoming enervated and emu,
elated—the cheeks yellow and bloodless—and the mind gloall

themselves, they have acquired, by SO years experience, in a

such defects are curable by medical skill; and though the re-
