CROYDON, MARCH i2K.
KIRBY V. BURREL.
Mr..Conwoon stated, that this was an action on the
specials warranty of a horse that it was not lame, or if
lame, that it arose only from a recent journey to Go-
dalming frOm Cuildford.
Mr. Gaiutow then stated the circumstances of the
ease, which were—that the plaintiff being about to
buy the hot se of the defendant, who was a farmer
near Guildford, he observed the horse to come lame
out of the stable ; upon which the defendant said he
was sore she was not lame, or if she was, it was only
in going to Guildford, for he had never known her
lame in all his life. He said he should prove that
the horse had been lame for years, that the defendant
had lamed her in hunting about five years ago, from
which she had never recovered.
Accordingly several witnesses were called, neigh-
brads of the defendant, who .stated, that they knew
the.mare in question, that she had been lathe for four
or• five years; among them was the smith who had
shod her, and he swore she had been lame, off and on,
tot four years.
On the other side, eight witnesses swore, that they
had hunted with the horse for six or seven years, and
that she never had been lame.
The Loan CHIBPBARON observed, he never saw a
horse cause in the piper without dread, as the Jury
Plaintiff
had to decide between a mass of perjury.
Plaintiff nonsuited.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.,

Beef
Muttoe

Thursday these Sessions commenced, when the only
case worth mentioning was that of Henry Hastings,
who was indicted for an assault upon Mr. Davis, tal-
low-chandler, of New Bond-street.
Therprosecutor stated, that on the evening of the
7th of April, 1810, he observed the defendant walk-
ing up and down before his house for upwards of
three hours, in a very suspicious manner. Having
recently been rubbed of a coneiderable quantity of
war-candles, by a man who broke his window, he
was apprehensive that the defendant contemplated an
offence of a similar kind. ile•accordingly told him,
that if he did not go about his business, he should
charge him with the watch. The defendant appeared,
very indignant, called him rascal and scoundrel, and
threntened to use some violence for his insolence, in
affronting a gentleman. He explained that he had
been waiting there for his wife, who promised to
meet him about that hour. During this altercetiOn,
a lady joined the defendan4 who then crossed Bond-
street, and appeared to be going away. In three or
four minutes, however, he came into the prosecutor's
shop, and, using much scurrilous language, held up
heetetick, and threatened to strike hint. Mr. Davis
caleeeein the
.aseeistence of Mr. Hookha.m, his neigh-
bour, and the defeniant was sent to the watch-house.
44.itthew Davis, the prosecutor's son, corroborated
his father's statemens.
The defendant denied the charge, stating, that be
wets -a Gentlemen of independent property, residiug
in the neighbourhood of Manchester-square. On the
eyeuipg of the 7th of April last,, he had been trait-
- saeting some business at the Horse Guards, and was
proceeding to keep an appointment with a lady near
the prosecutor's house. That he had not been there
more,, than a quarter of an hour, when Mr., Davis
atoesed him of intending to rob his shop: tie denied
the charge, but offered to go to the wetch-hoese, to
of les
,eccesation. As secin as his
arrived, he was going away, ,when the

Fore fhe Court for affirmation. The pri-

Constable, who stated, that on the 21st

young women, With some chiteren en-
:are, turn down Charles-Court, where he
isoner lived, and had procured for herself
great fame as a fortune-teller. Suspecting that they
were going to pay a visit to the " Sybil," he followed
them, and saw them enter this " oracular temple."
He then pursued them to the prisoner's room, where
he found her surrounded by 15 or 16 young women,
to whom she was holding forth with great vehemence,
on the advantage to society of her mystic art. In
cite' hand she held a teacup, in which she was
consulting the destinies of a young woman, who sat
down on her right, whilst in the other she held a
wand, which she flourished over the heads of her de-
`el hided auditory. The officer listened for some time un-
observed. She then addressed the young woman on
her right, and said, " Young woman, you will have
many difficulties, but you. will get over them. There
ii a young man with white hair in love with you,.ind
van' Marry you : but he will take a liberty with you
first, and you must not refuse him. He will be a gond

posed and said, " Madam, I think you are mistaken
in the colour of his hair, for mine is brown ; but in
the mean time I must trouble you to go along with
inc to the watch-house." The unfortunate Prophe-
tess, struck with consternation, immediately flung
the tea-cap into the fire, and begged for mercy :
the witness stated, that the prisoner had been con-
iicted once before of a similar offence; but the Court
was of bpreiote from this evidence, that as no money'

From the Hon. and Right Rev, Lord BISHOP OF CARLISLE,
To Mr. Cele°, Apothecary, Cheapside, London.
Si R—l readily embrace the opportunity your letter
affords rue of adding my testimony to that of the Lord Chief
Baron, in favour of your CHING'S PATENT WORM LO-
ZENGES; my eldest son having, a few months ago, derived
very material benefit from the use of it. He had been unwell
for several weeks previous to his takirg it ; appeared pale, ema-
ciated, was languid, and complained frequently of pains in his
head and side. The Lord Chief Baron, who had accidentally
seen him in this state, fortunately recommended to me the trial
of your Lozenees, and that no time might. be lost, or say mistake
blight occur' in obtaining the genuine medicine, sent me three
doses of it. The first of these occasioned a visible amendment,
and after the second dose, every unpleasant symptom disappeared,
abut I judged it right to give the third, as the two former bad
agreed so xmcommonly well. From that time my son Inesigton
in perfect health, and I certainly attribute his care wholly to the
efficacy of the Werna Lozenges. I have afoot rpeonunended.your
Lozenges in several instances, wherein I have the satisfaction to
assure you, they have uniformly been of great service. I ought
to add, thatirom the nature of. the effect produced by than la
my son's cue, I apprelteml the corophints to have arisen frost an
obstruetiou between the stomach and viscera. I am, Sir, your
obedient servant, E. CARLISLE.
