The Dubfiss Evening Pod of Tuesday gives a shock-
ing detail of an alleged conspiracy at Douglas, in the
Isle of Man, to murder a Mr. CRIMSON. and cyan
gives the flame of a Clergyman, a Baronet, and four
qther persons, " all English," (adds the paragraph,)
as the parties implicated. Without some evidence ot
the fact, k would be inreper in us even to copy the
namer. One of them, uis stated, shot GRIFItgON,
who “ was dangerously, and, it is apprehended, mor-
tally, wounded." The conspirators were seized, and
committed to Castle Ruchen Gaol; and, says the
writer, S 6 were all proved to be a knot of miscreants,
for whose guilt, as Mr. Pm has truly observed, the
Irish language bas no name—all natives of England!"

storm of thunder and lightning, during which a very

places. The electric fluid in one quarter passed with
a tremendous explosion down a stack of chimniea,,
displacing and allotting at the same time the coping,
stones ot the adjoining-wall ; in the other it burst
open a side of the house, and passing- along the
bell-wires to the offices, slightly stunned a servant.

Mr. &ARUM moved for a Rule to sum ca..e.
why a criminal information should not Le filed
the Rev. William Peryn, a Justice of the
Sornerseishire, under the following eircumatanceaa.,
Mr. Seanearr stated, that on the sda of April,
had two persons taken up in the market-place, one
for selling books, and the other for ceiling blacking.
When brought before him, they said they never sod
them any where but in the market-place. He to:4
them that since the issuing of Lord Sidmouth's Or.
cular Letter, all markets were deprived nt o,elr
privileges, and he convicted Deakin, who sod the
books, under the Hawker and Pedlar's Act, killed
an execution against his goods fir the am. err,
and sent him to prison, where he remained for
three days after he was committed. Fletche4
the' blacking-dealer, stated, that he minufac.
toted his own blacking, and had a right to Ell it
wi;ere lie could. The Magistrate then informed him,
that he did not wish to hurt him; all he warted of
him was to give evidence against Deakih, of his have
ing sold pamphlets in the market. This was refurea,
and although not committed, he was kept in custody.
The Rev. Gentleman then issued a warrant to search
the house of a person of the name of Parkinson, mad
in the house there were found four numbers of Cok.
Regitter, unstamped. He sent a summons at
three o'clock for Park nson, who was sfVen miles tiff;
to attend him directly. The constable at first refused
to shew Parkinson the summons, but when he did he
accompanied him before the Magistrate, who eon.
.victed him, under the Stamp Act, in £2O for each
Righter, calling them unstamfted neeurlsafters. Deakin,
on this occasion, was brought from gaol, and hi;
Worship informed him, it was not his wish to fan
him, and he should be liberated from imprisommet
of he would give evidence against Parkinson. site
wishing to remain in gaol, he said he had 'nreg:::.
pamphlets of Fathinson ; and on the same evenorg
an execution was issued against the Roods of •.:e
latter, for penalties to the amount of scio.
The Learned Counsel observed, that a Magistrate
could not convict under the Scam? Act. If any
son abused it, it was the duty of the Attorney or Sa-
licitor-General to prosecute him in the Excheciaor.—
He never heard of such Magisterial interference be-
fore, and he was afraid it was not an isolated case,
as the Circular of Lord Sidmouth did not teem to be
understood by the majority of the Magistrates. it
Gentleman called on the Reverend Justice, and er.
postulated with him on his conduct, and tied to er..
plain to him the meaning of the Circular, Red a%*
