one of the Manchester Reform Dzonries,-
one on Monday brought to own in custody of s
Kill's Messenger, and underwent an exansination at
the Secretary of State's Office by Sir Al. OINANT,
'after which he was committed to prison. Kisight
was one, among many r thers, tried at the Summer
Assizes of for administering unlawful oaths,
and acquitted.
Every account from Manchester, and those so hte
as of yesterday, agree in stating, that tranquillity
seems perfectly rettored in the town and neighbour-
hood. As prevention, however, is better than cure,
the Witch and Ward Act is to be enforced in that
'district. On the same principle, measures are likely
to be taken for the immediate enro!nrent of the Leeds
Volunteers.

In Wigan it has already been found necessary to
*put the, Watch and Ward Act in force. It is a
lamentable fact, that the system of nightly depreda-
tion, unknown before in that district, bias been acted
upon since the lower classes have been induced to
listen to public and private declaimers, who have
spyead abroad the pernicious doctrine, that he who
has nothing (no matter from what cause) his a right
to share in the prnperty of his more opulent and in-
dustrious neighbour
The Lancaster Assizes terminated on Fsiday, and
on Saturday sentence of death was pronounced on no
less than forty.siz offenders.
