LEICESTER ASSIZES, MARCH as.

This day was tried before Mr. Baron GRAHAM
and a Special Jury, a caufe of great intereft and
magnitude to the Potters and Merchants of Stet
forcillsire. This aaioo was brought by the King's
Mill Company of Flint-grinders in Leicelterfhire,
to recover a furn of 1251. of Meffrs. Wedgwood
and Co. of Etruria, for ground flint fold to them,
and for which they refufed payment, on the plea of
its being an adulterated article, and not merchant-
able.
About the middle of the year tBo2, a lingo-
lar difcafe appeared upon the earthenware of Etru-
ria, and its furrounding works. The fymptoms
were, that the plates and vales (in the bifcuit (late)
in (le;d of their ufual whitenefi, appeared of a
dull red, and would not take the glaring only on
the edges; and, when finilbed, on being expofed
to the air, nine out of twelve chipped and flew in-
to pieces. Thefe effeas continued for Tome time,
without any one guellng at the eaufe ; but, after
a long courfe of experiment, Mr. Wedgwood was
of optnicn he could demnnflrate the imperkftion
to Tea io the flinty matter purchafed of the King's
Mill Con patsy. Previous to the commencing of
this aaioo, the Company employed Mr. Waitman
and I)r. Forefier French, of Derby, both eminent
chemilts, analyfe the Illiceous matter in dif
pure ; and dick Gentlemen gave in the refolt of
their experiments at the bar, accompanied with
this obfervation, og that the lime contained in the
King's Mill Flint was too infignificaot to account
for the appearances on the difeafed pottery." After
Mr. Wedgwood and his brother petters had il-
lut-trated weir experiments by numerous fpecimens
ofpatery introduced into Court, Mr. I)avy, Pro-
teiliir of Chemiftry to the Royal Inkitute, was
called in evidence, to prove from his a:l*G? of the
King's Mill Flint, that it contained proportions of
tiles.alunsen, lime, and iron, different from thole
dircovered by Mr. Wittman and Di. Forreller
French. On a fpecimen of the chin none being
produced bit Court, with nhich the flint had been
gri•und, Cie i'mfetfor attrihuted the ill effeas occa-
turned by it. to its ccataii.ing ton great a portion
of lime. I'r: m the numiier ni illudrations, and I
