A carious cause came on for trial at the above As.
slices. The pleintiff was Mr. Kenworthy, an opulent
molester at Re.fiord ; the delendanta were Mr. Dickin-
son, a Magistrate for the county, and a person named
Hurst, an ender la tiliti. The assaisae of which the
plaintiff complained was made in the Subscription
News-room, in Retfor', and was occasioned by the
following circumstance :
Mr. Kenwortby, Lieincnant Colonel Kirke, of the
East Rethird Local Militia ( who is also a Magis.
trate), and a young Gentleman of the name of Han-
nant, were in the coffee-room on :he 26th of March,
when the dispatches from General Graham announced
to them the bailie of Barrosa, in WiliCq the only son
of Colonel Eyre (one of the county Members) lost his
life ; which mistottune brought on a cotiversatiwn
between the plaintiff and Lieutenant-Colonel Kit ke,
when the former observed," that though our Generals
knew how to fight, they did not know how to write
English, and he wondered that Government should
send out surliftlloser." This was spoken in allusion
to an expression of General Graham, where he says,.
de. we made a night-march of sixteen 'touts ;" the
plaintiff contending that such espiession w. s &nu.-
right nonsense; because, said he, " the night did not
consist of that duration of time." At this Lieutemineo
Colonel Kirke displayed marks of chsapprobatioo, and
said, in contemptuous manner. he would not con-
verse with the plaintiff any longer about the business.
The plaintiff then said, gi D—n you, Kirke, this is
not the first time you have slighted me; you refused
to : lay a game at billiards with me the other day r
yogi icaow me, and I uis make you resi.ect me."
The COlonel replied, Ido not know you ;" which
plaintiff knew, in the literal sense of the word, was
false ; and in the act of leaving the room, said, its
a passion, " D—n it, man, you iutend to trample tae
under toot by your magisterial authority ;'any T/132
can be a magistrate with Je2oo a year.", To which
the Colonel again replied, contemptuously, as it WAS
endeavoured to be proved, "nu doubt, you ale a man
of great courage."
Next day the Colonel stuck up a paper in the coffee.
room, soliciting a meeting of the subscribers to hear
his charge azainst Mr. K.2itworthy, and determine
thereon. Mr. Konworthy likewise stuck. up a piper
to the same effect, complaining of the conduct of the
Colonel. ' On the day appointed, sixteen of the s;.1!).
scribers met, among whom was Thomas Dickinson,
Esq. who was Chairman on the occasion ; ant they
came to a determination, that Mr. Kenworthy.should
be compelled, within a stated time, to sign a paper.
beg.,ing pardon of the Colonel for having used lan-
gtecge disgraceful to a Gentleman; h w...c.. paper
should afterwards be stuck up in the most conspicu.
ous part of the room, and there remaia seven days;
or that Mr. Kenwot thy should be expelled the room.
These conditions the plaintiff refused to comply with;
in consequence of which another meeting of the sub-
scribers was called, at. which Mr. Dickinson again,
presided ; and they passed a -resolution to return Mr.
Kenworthy his year's subscription- to hire a man, (•t•
men, if occasion required, to prevent him from en-
tering the coffee room, or, if he entered, to turn him
out by force ; and enter into a subscription to indem-
nify the pet son or persons, in point of law, who should
exercise, or be made parties to such violence. T .f
accordingly hi:ed George Hurst, one of the deieit-
dants in this action, to carry the violent part of this
resuluOon into execution ; he, from his business, bein:;
an adept in the art of clutching men by the collar,
executed his order by turning Mr. Kenworthy out of
the room the fist time he entered after the passing
the resolution ; for which assault, and to recover reps.
ration for his wounded honour, Mr. Ketiworthy
wrought the action.
The Jury, after half an hour's consukatiou, gave
damages E5O.

An action was lately brought at Oakham Assizes,
against a person to recover damages on account of
his dog having worried some sheep belonging to a
neighbour. It appearing in evidence, that there were
two dogs engaged in this predatory excersion, one only
of which belonged to the defendant, his Counsel sub-
mitt-d, whether his client could be liable, as it was
doubtful which animal was the criminal? The Judge
held, tit it even if one was privripe/, the other was an ac-
cessory, and therefore both were liable. They were
conjoint
:trespassers, and therefore liatale jointly and
severally. It was a remarkable circumstance, said
his Lordship, but it was well known, that dogs agreed
together to go 'out upon these marauding expeditious.
Verdict given tor the plaintiff.

Worn; are the most frecr lent sources of Childrens'
disases. 'f li:ir symptoms every p:c eat and guardian
of children should be acquainted with. They nccaskn
loss of appetite, a paleness of the colnur of the lace,
emaciation, and irregular state of the bowels, Atteli-
ded alter with violent pains ; they bring on convul-
sions, they affect the growth of the body, and they
prove fatal, by enii:ig in a consamptioa or decay.—
Both as a
.ireventatiye and cure of these alai-min
complaints, Chirg's Patent Irons Lesenjer is univer-
sally allowed, on the testimony of the highest chatac.
ters in this country, both in rank and respectability,
to have no equal. The public approbcion given to
the Proprietor, from a personal knoWledge of its won-
'derful success in their own famiiits, stamps its merit
beyond competition, and gives a sanction to it, oi
which no other medicine of the kind can • blast.—
Parents and others who have the care of children.
should have this reroedy as a family medicine to re..
sort to, whenever the stomach or bowels of ;bilker:
are any way ciisorckred, which it will always bt
found to relieve. 501..!, wholecile and retail, at Mr.
