COMIULII/ v. stylist&
This was an action sr a Revel*killfagistrate of
the County, to recover pendia against the defen-
dant far shooting game withal* a license.
It appeared in evidince on the part of the plain-
.l
tiff, that he was Lord of the Manor of Wivenhoe,
and that on the 19th of September last he sent one
of his livery servants to warn the defendant from off
ontain-lands in the occupation of a farmer named
Clay. The defendant was seen with a double-barrel,
f4nsind a couple of dogs, in the act of killing a
e;
which he bagged just as the servant came up
'to him. The latter asked him several questions,
about the hare, which lie answered very readily, and
ilia he asked the servant who he was and what he
:was ? and he replied that he was servant to Squire
Corsellis, and that his name was Nathaniel Gunn.
The defendant then told him a that he was a 'damned
impertinent rascal for presuming to insult a Gentle-
man in that manner." The servant said, that he •
bcen desired by his master, to warn the defendant
and all other persons against shooting upon the ma-
nor. Under these circumstances the present action
was brought.
The defendant proved a complete answer to the
case, by :hewing that he was a Captain of Artillery
on alf-pay, and that he was dul qualified to kill
game by virtue of an annuity of *l6O, issuing out
of land.
Mr, Justice PARK thought the action extremely
ill-advised, and could not help thinking that the
plaintiff's servant, had acted very impertinently, un-
der the circumstances proved. He also hoped that
the Reverend plaintiff had not assumed the title of
Squire, as attributed to him by the witnesses, for i
he had he was highly reprehensible.—Under his
Lordship's direction the plaintiff was n_ unsuited.
iIoWES 9. PALFREY.
This was an action against the defendant for de-
bauching the plaintiff's Saushter, whereby he lost
her services. It appeired di,at• the plaintiff was a
painter and glazier, at Rayleigh, acid that the de-
fendant, who was an Exciseman, forty years of age,
lodged in his house. The object of the alleged se-
duction, a young woman about twenty years of age,
who could neither read nor write, short of stature/
as-d strongly disfigured in the face.by St. Anthony's
fire, was literally the plaintiffs servant, and attended
upon his lodgers. It appeared that she had becotne
a willing sacrifice to the defendant, without much
previous courtship, and that a child now alive was
the fruit of the intercourse.

The defence set up was, that there was no seduc-
tion in the present case, and that the fair one was
quite common.
The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction,
found a verdict for the plaiptiff, damages ESO. which
was, about the amount of the surgeon's bill, and
other expenses that were attendant ou the young wo-
man's accouchement.

SittiFollD ESQ. P. PORTER.
This was an action on the Statute of the ex and 3d
of Edward Vl. for not setting out the Tithes of that'
part of the defendant's farm lying in the parish of,
Great Widthant,
.to the extent of about 100 acres, ;
and v,thich lands, for a very considerable period, had,
as it appeared, never paid tithes. The plaintiff was
lessee of. the tithes under Trinity College, Oxford :I
and the defendant lessee or tenant of the lands, under
the Trustees of Guy's Hospital ; and those Corpora-
tions were, in fact, the real parties. The title to the
rectory, and consequently all the tithes of the parish, I
(except certain parts under the Vicar's endowment,)
was clearly and satisfactorily proved. The defen-;
dant, or'rather the Trustees of the Hospital, endea-
voured to sustain a defence as poriontsts of some;
tithes in respect of a Chapel, anciently on the lands
endowed therewith ; but it being incumbent on them,
in point of law, claiming in that character, to prove,
the identity, species, and extent of the portion, more
especially: as opposed to the paramount right of the
Rector, which they failed to do—the Jury, without
hesitation, found a verdict for the plaintiff, thereby
confirming the tight of the College.
DROGHEDA ASSIZES, 'SIARCII 4.

Th e Court proceeded On the trial of•Armstromg,
a Constable of Drogheda, for the murder of P. Pen-
tony, on the first night of the late Election for that
place, by a shot fired f am the Watch-house. A Cri-
minal information was pending against three Ma-
gistrates fot their al'edged misconduct, in endea-
vouring. to screen the murderer ; but the proceed-
ings were sucpendcd, until the trial for the murder
should have been had.

The Grand Jury, after examining several wit-
nesses, found the Bill of Indictment t and Armstrong
was placed in the Dock..
P. Connor, who had been with the deceased at the
time of his death, proccd that Penton'', a young man
living four miles from Drogheda, and himself,- were'
retiring homeward, at twelve o'clock at night, the
street then in a state of perfect tranquillity, when a
shot was fired from the Viatch-house, by which Pen-
tony wns killed, and witness wounded in several places,
by slugs, some of which have not been extracted.
Five other witnesses, S. Poe, J. Alley, and J. Cooper,
sqrs. G. Figis, and Captain Ennis, all' deposed to
the perfect tranquillity of Peter-street, in which the
Watch-house stands, at the time of the shot.

The late Mayor, F. G. Fainlough, proved his hay-
ing been brought to the Watch-house after Pe,tony
had been shot. - That he entered the Watch-house
with the Sheriff ; that he found Armstrong ina back-
room ; he asked him who had tired the shot? that
Caulaeld, one of the Watchiten, was mentioned ;
,that Caulfield denied it ; but, on his (the Mayor)'
saying (and which he confessed was an error he was
sorry for) to Caulfield, that he might tell hinr lafely„
Caulfield admitted be bad fired the shot, and that the
Mayor then sent him to gaol; but, when asked who.
ther he had committed him to rot thiJudge inter-
fered, and pr4vented that question being answered.'

tadecl. a most extraordinary hititory of the transaction..

tesofa from the mob : the; be 60 was at
ulft that when an investigation bad been set se
inquiring into the murder by some Gentlemen of the
town, Armstrong induced hint to go to Dundalk, to
keep the other side in the dark ; that he was after-
wards placed in custody at Dundalk, from whie4
place, finding himself neglected, he gayeinformodos
lof the facts to Mr. Wallace. Mr. Wallace tendered
to the prisoner's Counsel all the letters which had
been sent by Caulfield. That he was, while at Duo-
'tialk, induced to swear an affidavit sent to hint by
Armstrong for the purpose of his being bailed,
which was read to him by. Mr. Bigger, the son ofthe
Magistrate of Dundalk, and afterrards signed by
him, (Caulfield).
On the

of this witness, it ap-
peared that in that affidavit, and in his examination,
and his present evidence, Cdulfield had given incon-
sistent accounts of the transaction, and the Mayor
being again examined, denied what was sworn, as to
his having charged Armstrong in his presence; and,
n the whole, when after two or three witnesses being
examined for the prisoner, the Judge placed the in-
consistencies of Canlfield's evidence in so strong a
light to the Jury, that being the only person bringing
the fact home to Armstrong, he was acquitted.
The Judge then informed Caulfield, that he should
find it his duty to send up a bill of indictment against
bim, for the murder.
He was then put into the Dock, and the bill of in-
dictment was next morning sent up, and found by the
Grand Jury. He is to be tried next Assizes.

Wednesday, at a numerous Meeting of Peers and
Members of the House of Commons, held in the Bri-
tish Coffee-house, the Earl of Rosst.vs in the Chair,
it was unanimously resolved to support the Bill
brought in by Mr. Devi:mass towards the dole of the
last Session, for the protection and encouiagement of
Banks for Savings in Scotland. The Bill, alter being
revised by a Committee, is to be immediately brought
in again by Mr. DOUGLAS, and at the request of the
Meeting, Lord ROSALYN promised to take charge of
it in the House of Lords.

FUNERAL Or LADY russalosoucH.—At an early
hour yesterday morning, the remains of Lady Etaxx-
aortouott were removed from his Lordship s house,
in Hertford-street, May-fair :the cavalcade moved at
half-past sir, and consisted of four mutes on horse-
back, six horsemen in Wrack. cloaks, &c.; the hearse,
containing the body, inclosed in a coffin covered with
'Oct, crimson velvet, elegantly' ornamented with
silver gilt nails„ coronets, &c. with a plate bearing
the t ption OLIVIA, Lady ELLENEOaOUUM,
daug of ROBERT STRWART, Marquis of LoNnow-
Denet; dies* the Sth of March, 1819, aged 27," fol-
lowed by five _mourning coaches and four, with seve-
ral carriages of the Nobility, &c. it proceeded down
Piccadilly, Pall-mall, along Westminster-bridge to
Foots,Cray, where his LOrdship and other relatives
joined the mournful procession, and accornpasied it
to the family vault at North Cray, Kent.

. . . A
phenomenon, which tends much to elucidate the
origin and nature of vegetable fungusses, particu-
larly of that species termed mushroom, lately occur-
red in the observation of Sir JosEPH 'JANKE. Hav-
ing a cask of wine rather too sweet for immediate
use, he directed that it should be placed in a cellar,
that the saccharine matter it contained might be more
perfectly decomposed by age. At the end of three
years, he directed his butler to ascertain the state of
the wine; when, on attempting to open the cellar
door, ho could not effect it in consequence of some
powerful obstacle. The door was therefore cut down,
when the cellar was found to be completely filled
with a firm fungus vegetable production, so firm that
it was necessary to use the ate for its removal. This
appeared to have grown from, or have been nourished
by, the decomposed particles of the wine, the cask
being empty and carried up to the ceiling, where it
was supported by the surface of the fungus.
At the celebration of the Jubilee, in October 1809,
Ilio
youth of the name of Smithey was wounded, at
st2n, in Lincolnshire, in the thigh, by the bursting
of a cannon ; since which time, notwithstanding the
best surgical aid, he has continued very lame; until a
few days ago, when, on rising from his bed, he found
protruding from the wound, a piece of iron, two
inches in length an-1 one in breadth, which has been
embedded in his thigh ever since the accident. 1
The Southwark Bridge is to be tiptoed, with a
grand Procession, on the 25th instant. It is coin•
posed of three iron arches ; the centre one is 240 feet
in span, being four feet more in span than the cele-
brated Sunderland Ircin Bridge, and larger in span
than any bridge in the world, save the fabled flying
bridges of China. The two side arches are 210 feet
each in span. The quantity of iron used is nearly
5000 tons in weight, andmatty of the single castings
weighed 10 tons each.
Honntv MURDER atm Ronne/m.lFront a Paris
Paper.)—An assassination has recently been com-
mitted in the molt atrociourinanner, in the manufac-
,'turing and commercial town of Laval, in a house
hich has been newly-built, situated between two
Inns, always occupied jry travellers, and in one of the
most populous quarters of the town. It was lithe.
bited by a rich Gentleman, who had with him only
a faithful female servant. He had a great part of
his fortune in specie, ia 'chests; and, unfortunately
for him. this fact Was too well known. One night,
between the houra of ten and eleven, two men were
seen to esker ,the house: the door was closed after
theta. tlo sutpieion; however, was excited, until
three days afterwards, ;when it was remarked, that
neither the Maar npr servant had been seen to lea*
or enter the house; some persons went and kriocked
at thetloor, but no answer was returned. The Police
Authorities were informed of this, and the doer was
'broken open, when the unhappy girl was found lying
tin an inner ram% and her =stet in the parlour ; the
beads of both were cut cff. A woman, one of the
