Lady, reject the gift l 'ifs tinged with gore
Those crimson spots a dreadful tale relate:
It has been grasped by an infernal Power ;
And by that hand which sealed young Enonmes fate.
Lady, reject the gift ! beneath its lid
Discord, and Slaughter, and relentless War,
With every plague to wretched man lie bid—
Let not these loose to range the world afar.
Say, what congenial to this heart of stone
In thy soft bosom could the Tyrant trace?
When does the dove the eagle's friendship oven,
Or the wolf hold the lamb in pure embrace?
Think of that pile,f to Alumna so dear,
Where Sneer feasted, and where Rooms song
Still adds sweet music to the perfumed air,
And gently leads each Grace and Muse along.
Pollute not, then, these scenes—the gift destroy t
'Twill scare the Dryads from that lovely shade;
With them will fly all rural peace and joy,
And screaming fiends their verdant harlots invade.
That mystic Box bath magic power to raise -
Spectres of myriads slain, a ghastly hand !
They'll vex thy.slumbers. cloud toy sunny day,
Starting from Moscow's snows or Egypt's sand.
And ye who, bound in Verdun's treacherous chains,
Slow pined to death beneath a base contrtiul,
Say, shall not all abhor, where Freedom reigns,
flat petty vengeance of a-little soul?

The warning Muse no idle triter deem :
Plunge the cursed mischief in wide Oresn's good;
Or give it to our own majestic stream—
The ouly stream he could not dye with blood !

SITTINGS IS SANG°.

VEX V. ifOLMAN.

Mr. CLARKS stated, that he had intended this day to
more the judgment of the Cuutt upon the defendant.
• Nothing was said at the bar about the previous proceed-
ings, or about the offence of which the defendant had
been found guilty, but we were informed, on inquiry,
that the defendant had, at the last Assizes for the county.
of Nottingham, been convicted of a libel on a Mt.
Pashley, and had been allow ed to remain at large upon
his own recognizance, with those of two sureties or bail,
that he would attend to receive judgment in this Term
when called upon. Mr. Clarke mentioned, every pos-
...sible inquiry had been made for the defendant, but he
k: cblek Leot be found. They had discovered that his wife
:Alived in Goswell-street, and had applied to her for in-
.. formation„ but she would give none, pretending not to
know where he was, or when he would teturn. Upon
~theis due notice had been saved on the bail or sureties,
and all he could do now was, to call on the Court to
orde....the recognizance. to be estreated.
The defendant was then called, and his recognizance,
~ and those of his-bail, were ordered, to be estreated.

Two Justices had made an order (afterwards con-
. firmed by the Sessions) upon the parish of Malden, to
a certain weekly allowance to a pauper lunatic asylum,
an account of a pauper lunatic; whose settlement was in
OW parish.' Application was made 'to the Court of;
King's Bench to quash the order on two grounds: first,
• -because the Justices had not regularly adjudged that
-the tettlemcnt of the pamper was in the parish of Mal-
-orlrn seepindly, that the order was retrospective, in girt-
- ving the allowance fur. some time before the adjudication
•of the settlement, which was not warranted by law.

_
• Lord TINTERDEN observed, thlt.although the adjodi-
• Cadets of settlement, instead of being direct and poi
live, was stated in the way Of recital, )et he thought it
sufficient, but the Justices had nut the power to loge
.the-Order retrospective. •
'the order was quashed as fir as it was Retrospectiver;
.. and confirmed as to thevest.

`-Taylor of that par4b. , Taylor not having sufficient
employment for him, sent him to a farm Occupied by
sister in a neighbutiring parish, to drive the plough.
