On the Bth inst. a field of oats was cut down on the
estate of Lude, Perthshire, belonging to Mrs. hklnnoy.
In consequence of the late heavy rains, the country
between Ethan) and Lewisham is completely flooded.
For half a mile between these places, the road is one
continuous skeet of water, varying in depth from one
to two feet. At Lewisham the river Ravensbourne has
overflowed its banks, and spread itself across the main
road over its adjacent meadows. The lower parts of
several houses are full of water. The oldest inhabitants
say they never knew so heavy a•flood before at this season
of the year.

Monday afternoon a girl was sent to a Laboratory
upon theshore, for a small qiiantity of the tincture of
rhubarb, for an infant child of a respectable publican,
in tsernard•street, Leith: The medicine was adminis-
tered, which shortly produced symptoms of an alarm►
ing nature, and led 'to the discovery, that instead of
rhubarb, the tincture of opium had been given in a
*mistake by the surgeon's boy. Notwithstanding every
effort the child expired in the evening.
The door of one of the stage coaches (which runs to
and from Loudon and Bath) having been neglected to
be fastened it Hungertord, a few days since, a child
which had been pitviously amusing itself by looki ig
*it of the window, soon afterwards fell, head foremost
to the ground, and
.olfe of the wheels going over it,
caused its almost instanlineous death. The feelings of
the mother, who was Wivelliug with it, may be-con-
ceived, but we will not atainpt to describe them. What
adds to the calamity is, dhit considerable property de•
peuded on the life of the child.
EQOII4IIIIAN AlROSTATlOn.—Yesterdayevening Mr.
CIIAIL► made his 100th ascent in his balloon,

Quest
from the Iyhtte Conduit-gardens, Pentonvi e. the
weatliir being fine, several thousands of persons as.
sembled in the neighbourhood of White Conduit-house,
though at one time considerable fears were entertained
that the usual •car would be affixed to the balloon,
and that the aeronaut 'you'd only ascend in the ordinary
Manner. • However, at six o'clock, the little pony which
recently ascended with Mr. Gneiss from the Eagle
tavern, was led into the ground, where, after exhi-
biting -bis .usual feats at the command of his master,
to whose patrons he paid the most respectful obeisance,
he was placed on his platform, and the apparatus by
which he was attached to the machine was fastened to
the net work, and at half past six o'clock the aeronaut
having stewed the grappling iron, and every prepara-
tion being, completed; the word ." away" was given,
and the machine being disincumbered of its *eight,
bounded off with theivelocity of lightning in a south-
easterly direction, and in a very short space of time was
lost in the distance. The poor animal seemed much
alarmed whilst .soaring above the heads of the numer-
ous spectators, many of whom appeared to entertain
strong doubts of the aerial traveller ever reaching
terrafirma in safety, although every one seemed highly
gratified with the novelty of their situation.

Thursday evening a serious disturbance took place in
Union-court, Orchard-street, Westminster. A„soldier
belonging to the 2d BottaMtn of the Colditriarn Quards
had been beating a wonsiut, At a bow in the 'alAve
court, and a girl, named -Charlotte, interfering to pro-
tect her Irons the soldier's violence, he diked a knife,
and stabbed her in the forehead. The cries of the poor
girl brought another soldier, names Carrots, to the room,
who • remonstrated with: Brnith on his conduct; but
another soldier, soldiers pawed. Macdonald, took Smith's part ;
and a P.llO 04101,101* place between. Macdonald
and Catrots, they'went into the Court to decide the mat-
ter by allagilistic 'Zbysiest. Macdonald, however, was
beaten iwthe battle, and they returned into the house.
They had been there but a short time,. when Macdonald
seized his opponent, threw him down, and kneeling upon
his body, drew a knife from his pocket, and stabbed him
in different pans of 'the body. Assistance soon arrived,
and Carrots was conveyed to the hospital, when it was'
discovered that be had received twelve different stabs
on the face, neck, and ribs, one of which, in the left side,
was of. a dengerons nature, and be nowlies in a preca-
rious state. Macdonald was taken into custody, and
conveyed to the guard home.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
MAIDSTONE, Ammer te.
Crest Covar—Hetere Lord Twessoms.
REX V. PXBUS.
This was an indictment at the instance of Sir Sohn
Browtle, the superintendent of the Maidstone barracks,
for an alleged nuisance in tie making aad burning of
large clamps of bricks in a field immediately in the
rear of the barracks, and whereby it was averred con-
siderable annoyance and inconvenience were occasioned
to the soldiers stationed there.

The case excited very great interest in the town, and
the Court was crowded by persons anxious to hear the
details ; but to their disappointment, no eooner was the
case called on than it was announced that the parties
had entered into an arrangement, by which it was sti-
pulated that for the future the defendant was not to
erect any clamps of greater dimensions than thy one
then in the field, and those only in that part Of the
field farthest from the barracks. Upon these terms the
prosecutors agreed to offer no evidence (or the prosecu-
tion, and a verdict was accordingly taken by consent
for the defendant.

I.IILOATE V. KELLEY AND GOODIN°.
This was an action to reco►er damages for an illegal
distraint.

Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case. The plaintiff te-
nanted a cottage, of which the defendant Kelley was
the proprietor. The other defendant was an auctioneer
at Lenham, and had been employed to make the dis-
tress now complained of. The distress was made for
71 being double the amount really due. The plaintiff
made a tender. of the rent due, but it was refused, and
possession was takeh of the goods, 'and held for 14. days,
after which they were sold by .public auction. The
charges madefor the levy, the possession, and the sale,
were all of thenf beyond the amount allowed by the
Statute, and it was for these irregularities, as well as
for the injury sustained by the sale of the goods, that
the present action was brought.
Thomas Golding was put in possession of the, goods
by the defendants. By their directions he seized goods
to the amount of 501. and retained possession of the
tatrit.for 14 days. A public sale then took place. The
flldintiffdid net give them permission to remain in pqa-
sitiSioni4 daiys. He said-they might do as they pleased,
he ihotildnot interfere. The plaintiff tendered a lot.
immediately on the distress being made.
'Elizabeth Sibear deposed that the defendants had dis-
trained for 71. on the ground that they were entitled to
double refit: The defendants offered to accept 81. IQs.
on the morning of the sale, if the plaintiff would pay
all expense's and give np possession of, the, cottage.
These terms were refused.
Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS, for the defenclants,.adMitted
that no legal answer could be given to the case prisied,
but submitteithat very litilUreal injury had beets sue.
Wired, and as the defendants would have to pax ibeet.l
penses of the action, nominal damages wouldjoitla
much as the Jury ought to give.
.Lord TENTBRDEN briefly summed up. The defen-
dants had acted illegally in every respect, and were re-
' sponsible for their conduct. The Jury would consider
hthe case cilMly, and 'give such moderate damages as
its justice required.
Verdict for the plaintiff-:-Daniages 20/.
• ' JEFFIRET'S
This was an action to recover the sum of 1,1151. at.
I*.d to have been imtiroperly paid tottie defendant,.
he plaintiff sued as the representative of the corpq-
ration of Chatham. The defendant was one of thf
'gnardians of the poor of a parish in Chatham.
From the statement of the Counsel in his opening
speech, it appeared that under the will of a Mr. Watts,
certain estates were bequeathed for the purpose of pro-
viding poor travellers passing through the town of Rol
chester with a night's lodging, a supper, and 4d. in !none'
the next morning. All travellers of the description q
question were to be importuned to accept the above ac=
commodations, with the exceptioti of .. rogues and
tore." The claimants were not numerous, and the e4aies
having improved in value till they reached a net
venue of 2,0004 per annum, a question arose as to. the
mode in which the surplus was to be applied. An ap-
peal was made to the Court of Chancery, and the funds
in the meantime allowed to accumulate. That Conti
at last decided that the funds should be divided betweep
the contiguous townships, Chithanit taking two shares,
St: Nicholas 20, St. Margaret 6, and Stroud 4. Undue
this decree, 1,115/. was paid over to Mr'. Jeffreys, the
Treasurer of the Guardians of. the Poor ,of Chatham,
and was by him transferiedsto the defendant, who is the
Chairman of the same body. The Corporation ot
Chatham being of opinion that the money ought to be.
paid to them, petitioned the Court of Chancery, and the
result was a fresh decree in their favour. Applicatiok
seas in consequence made to the defendant to refund,
the money, which not being done, the present action,
era's brought.
For the defence, it was,scontended that the action
could not be maintained, as by the local Act which
created the guardians of the poor for Chal!iam, it was
enactad.thia'ihey should only sue or be sued through,
their treistittir.
Lord TiNTEILDEN held this objection to be fatal, and,
the plaintUes it t consequence nonsuited.
Caws am—Before Mr. Baron 64550 w,
William Johnson and-Christopher Storey were char.
with stealing a pair t f candlesticks, the property 4::
William Lawes, of Nortbfleer.
%..It'appeared that the prosecutor kept a public house.,
called . the Leather Bottle; and on the day in quest;On,
the prisoners came in and called for a pot of porter.—
After they were gone, the candlesticks were missed
from the room wheie they sat, and a pursuit being '
made, they were overtaken, with the property in their
possessors.. Verdict—Guilty.
Wein qld offenders, they were sentenced to seven
years transportation.
'ielhiess Castle, Richard Hart, and G rover,
'ireill:irked with burglariously entering the ware;
hen's; of Mr. Sharp, at Peddenden, and stealing therein
several guns, and other articles, his property.
It appeared the warehouse was entered by picklock
keys, and the next morning the prisoners were appre-
hended on the highway, with the stolen property in their
possession. They could give no satisfactory account
how they came by it.
In our paper cf Thursday we gave an account of the
trial and conviction of John Burgess, for receiving a
stolen horse in the year 1826. As the circumstances.
which led to his apprehension are rather curious, and
more especially as they are calculated to effect some
moral good, by teaching bad men that when they as.
sociate ifierriselves with others for the commission of
illegatacti, besides the other chances of detection, they
are always in danger from the treachery of their own
• .
companions, we give them insertion. It appears that
a notorious horse-dealer„ named Cutts, has recently
been convicted and sentenced to transportation for three
several terms .of fourteen .years, .for receiving stolen
horsei. Finding hii.Own case hopeless, he hit upon the
expedient of writing circulars to various persons whom
he had betn instrumental in robbing, offering them every
information, on payment of a certaiu sum of money,

I

proportioned to the value of she horse to be recovered.
Numbers gladly availed themselves of the terms, and
the result has been, besides the recovery of :emul
horses, the apprehension and conviction of the prisoner
Burgess. .
NORFOLK CIRCUIT—NORWICH, Auouse 14.
Before Dlr. Justice HOLROYD.
William Spraggs, a man about 25 years of age,
was indicted for feloniously shooting at Thomas Tonle,
with intent to murder him, &c.
'..4r. MALTBY (with whom was Mr. AUSTIN), for the
prosecution, said that the prisoner and the prosecutor
were labouring men residing at Mattishall, in this
county. At the last Sessions the prosecutor was a
principal witness against a man named Filt, a brother-
in-law of Sdragg, which circumstance had created an
ill-feeling in the mind of Spragg towards the prosecutor.
To gratify his revenge he shot at the prosecutor through
his bed-loom window, and his life was most providen-
tially preserved.
Thomas Tottle, the prosecutor, said—l live at Mat-
tishall ; I had some words with the prisoner at the
Club, at the George public house, at Mattishall, on the
evening of the 19th of April last; I left the Club about
half past eight o'clock, in consequence of some words;
I went to my home, and retired to bed about ten
o'clock. (A plan of the witness's house was exhibited
to him). There is a window in my bed room, and a
chest of drawers was in the room, which I had "hitch-
ed" against the window ; a sieve was upon them; I
had " hitched" the drawers against the window just
before I got int) bed; I had a gun in my possession,
which had paper and powder in it ; 1 had borrowed it
about a loitnieht; 1 was awoke by my wife after I
had been in bed about three hours ; I got up and.
heard somebody at the hoot door cf my house; I
heard a rattling at the door; my wile hallooed
4' who's that ?" which was answered by a moaning noise;
I put on my things, and she hallooed again; there was
a similar noise again; I had a gun standing beyond the
winirow ; my wife told me to get the gun, and I did
so; I came up against the drawers, and before I could
lift up the gun, somebody fired in at the window, and
drove the sive against me here (pointing to his stomach);
the 'window is a leaden casement, with Small panes; I
was standing about an arm's length from the window,
and f icing the window, when the shoti struck Abe sieve;
I laid my hand on the drawer's, and looked out at the,
hole, and saw the flash of a gun; I thin saw. Will.
Spraggs; I saw his face; the hole I looked through
had' been made by Will. Spraggs firing through ; I saw
the prisoner the same day, the Sunday morning, at the
George, at Mattishall; as soon as Isaw him, I told him
lie was the man who shot at me, and I would swear to
it; he said very little to that.
Cross-examined by Mr. PRESTON—I was a member
of the club at Mattishall at that time ; I would spot stilt
in it any longer; I was a member on the Saturd.ty
night the prisoner was there; I drank a pint of beer in
the-tap-room, and two glasses in the club-room; I had
bad two pints of beer at D.:erham on the: same day;
there was hardly any stir in thecluli-tooM, when I Went
in on the Saturday night; it was not proposed that I
should be turned out of thetoons; I have beesiee, the

CIVIL SID/L.—MOBSOP*V.IMALL..
Mr. BaouogAM itatea the. cise.. 'The 'Plaiutiff was
the occupier of a farm Of about 900 acres, which he
held under Mr. and Mrs.. Irby„ of Corks' Abbey, and
which was contiguous to Copelancl:l4#l4,. The firth
in question was called Thornboline,.• and by a custom
which had existed, and indeed had been a patent right
ever since the time of Henry VIII. the 'occupier of the
farm had a right to turn on to the common forming
part of Copeland Forest as many sheep as that farm
would winter, and by that right he turned out about
1000 sheep on a part of the 'common. ro which he
daimed the right. The 'defendant was also a faint;
but he occupying a farm of about 35 or lio acres, which
the Jury must be aware was very small as compared
with that occupied by the. plaintiff, btu still to right of
that quantity of land he was in the hitit pf turning on
to the same common about 506 sheep iind 12 head of
cattle, and had been in the habit of doing so for a num-,

Mr. Baron HULLOCK said, there were :two questions

DYKES, ESQ. V. BatqQS.. •
This was an action brought to recover•the penaltypf
a treble tithe, as prov ided. by the Statute, for the removal
of certain corn grown upon the defendant's farm,whieh"
is :insisted in dttt township. of Redmagnet in she pario
of Bride Kirk, without the tithe being ete odt. :13figil
was only the nominal defendasit;the case being actually
defended by his landlord, a Mr. Thomism, on the
groOnd that the tithes properly belonged to a charity,
and not to the plaintiff. ,
Mr. PATTISoN, in stating the case, said, that the
plaintiff claimed the tithes in right of his wife, to whom
they had descended from her. family. The charitible
Institution in question had long since been dissolved,
and in such a case a gift of tithes always reverted to
the heirs of the donor.. He should, moreover, be able
to show regular payments of thesetitheS by the dece-
dent to the plaintiff for, a number Of 'years. wfileh 'be
contended were so many scenOWledgnients of tbejustiOe
of the plaintiff's title.
'The steward of the plaintiff (a Mr. Magnay), and'
Mr. William Hodson, who had assisted in valuing the
tithes, proved their uniform payment for eleven years,'
up to 1825, -when the defendant demurred, and Mr.
Magnay was warned not to claith them again. Since,
that period no payment. had been made. The tithes'
'were valised•at 181.45. and the amount sought 'Wise
recovered by the preient action was treble that amount,
with costs,
. Mr. Magnay, on his cross-examination, said, he be..
lieved that the payment of the tiihe/*as resisted in i
consequence of a deniard made by the Corporation tif
Devensby H,)spital, a neighbOuring charity; he had
oply heard. of that charity by common report, but he.
had by the direction of the plaintiff paid 41. a year to.
•Mastei of the Hospital; he had also made annual pay-
ments to six poor persons in the parish, though, at one
time, there were only two poor persons. The tffiteis Mw
ever, were always dirided into six shares, and when the,
number of poor did not correspond, the plaintiff retained
the remaining shares in his hands, with the intentioe
of erecting a new hospital. '
