PARKER V. BILLING.

This was an action of replevin. There were seve-
ral issues on the record—the only question for the
consideration of the Jitry was—Whether a person to
whom land is allotted, has Fufficient authority in the
land to distrain, the award not being made. On
this point a verdict, by the direction or the Learned
Judge, was given for the Defendant, with liberty for
the Plaintiff to state a case to the Court above.

SALISBURY. .

A most interesting trial took place at our Assizes,
which was that of Mr. Mania.; Tuck, brewer, of
Swindon, for the high crime of forgery. It appeared
that Mi. Tuck was in partnership with Mr. Shep-
herd, at Swindon, and that they carried on business
as brewers and wine-merchants.

Roger Coale, the prosecutor, was examined : he
stated that he had kept a public-house at Swindon,
and dealt with Tuck and Shepherd fur beer and spi-
rits. There was a running, account between them,
kept in a small book, in which was entered the beer
and spirits delivered to Coale, and on the opposite
leaf (the credit side) the cash paid at different times
by Coale to Tuck. This book remained in the pos-
session of Coale; and when goods were received by
Coale, or cash paid by him to Tuck, the book was
taken, and the entry made. On comparing books,
however, it appeared that in the 1813 account a pay-
ment of SOl. had been made, and credit given to
Coale for 501. and in another place, that a payment
of 201. had been made, and credit given for 40/.
Tuck mentioned the mistake to him ; the figure 5
was erased, and a 3 substituted in its place ; the 4
was also taken out, and a 2 put in, making the sums
in the account according to the monies paid. These'
alterations were made with the knowledge and ap-
probation of Coale ; for the credit account, as dimi-
nished, was carried on, from page to page, till
finally balanced and settled by Coale, in February,
1814. Another account then commenced between
the parties, in which no mistake occurred but one,
which was, that Coale, forgot to settle it. 1-For this'he
was sued by Messrs. Tuck and Shepherd, and they
obtained a verdict for the full amount at the last
summer Assizes. On the next day he prefmed a
bill of indictment against Tuck, for forging or alter-
ing the 5 into a 3, turning the 50/. into AK.; another
indictment for altering the 4 into a 2, turning the
401. into 201.; and to make " assurance double sure'
he preferred another against him for a fraud. He
succeeded in persuading the Grand Jury that the
sums so changed belonged to the current account,
and were a part of the monies for which a verdict
had been obtained. On this Mr. Tuck was appre-
hended for forgery, but bailed by the Judge. Coale
was afterwards taken in execution, and removed to
the Fleet-prison, from whence he was now brought
at the expense of Tuck, by a writ of HaLeas Corpus.
to substantiate his charge against him. The evidence
of Coale, the prosecutor, himself, and the overpower-
ing testimony of the account-book (which was ba-
lanced after the Aged forgery was committed) were
so strong, that the Judge gave a decided opinion, the
prosecutor's Counsel threw up their briefs, and the
Jury hon,2urably acquitted Mr. Tuck on all three in-
dictments. Strjeant lieu. applied on behalf of Mr.
Tuck for copies of the indictmeats, on which to
ground future proceedings against Coale, and the
Judge immediately ordered them. Coale retired in
the custody of the officer who brought him frAii
London.

LIMERICK, NLVRCII 11.—The bodies of .I. Dillane,
a respectable farmer, his sister, the widow Costelloe,
and her daughter, were found murdered on the lands
of Knocklenid), Barony of Upper Coenelloe, in this
county, on Monday last. It appears that these un-
forturaate persons were- at the market of Newcastle,
on Saturday se'nnight, and after disposing of some
pigs, were returning home, waylaid and murdered ;
and from that time, though diligent search was
made, no clue could possibly be had to ascertain
their fate until Monday last, when they were found
as thus described, in an unfrequented pal t of a moun-
tain road. It is clear that robbery was not the ob-
ject of the murderers, as all the money which the de-
ceased persons received at the market was found on
them. The motive of so dreadful an outrage can oi.iy
be ascribed to revenge, as it is said that the NviJ,,w
Costelloe, at our last Assizes, very properly prosecu-
ted two persons for cow-stealing, who Wen.? convicted.
An Inquest lass been held on the bodies, and a wet
diet of NVilful Murder returned against persons un-
known. The necks of the unfortunate sufferers were
broken, and their bodies not only had the appearance
of violence, but parts of them were mutilated.
mcious OUTRAGE.—On the night. of the 10th
lint. a most wanton and malicious outrage was com-
nntted at the wood of Allen, in the Barony of Con-
nell, and county of Kildare: Tsvb horses, the pio-
perty, tf a man n.:med Patrick Byri.e, and a widow
or die name of Kilroy, were killed, by cuttinL off the
he id cf one, 21. d cutting the throat of the
other in
two places. The tails of two pr.vs, belonging to the
same'per ions, .WCI.O cut off 'o'll'tlie *same night.
