Awing only the violation of the peace, -the danger ,
of being led on to thp commission of the blackest
crimes, which must inevitably bring them to destruc-
tion. I have only farther to remark, that I hope we
shall not have to repent the lenity which the Crown
has authorized us to shew to the, misguided men who
now stand at the bar."
Mr. Justice Armor then addressed the prisoners as
I follows :
" Prisoners at the bar-The Learned Gentlemen
who have appeared here on the behalf of the public,
to conduct the prosecution against the very numerous
offenders who were Drought for justice here, have, in
the exercise of their discretion, given you the oppor-
tunity of returning to society, without being subject
to take your trials for the bills which have been found
against you, on your own security, and the security
of such friends as you may find, to appear here at a
future time, accompanied with an assurance to you.
that if you shall conduct yourselves quietly, soberly,
and peaceably, you shall never again be called upon.
I trust the very great lenity which they have dis-
played on this occasion will have its due effect upon
your mindi, and that on your return to your houses,
you will not only conduct yourselves quietly, bat
warn your friends and neighbours to behaVe in like
manner. The propriety of the discretion which has
been exercised will never be cal:ed iu question, un-
less you abuse the mercy which has been extended to
you. The Court trusts that it will operate on your
future lives, and that you will not be the less re-
strained from the commission of fresh crimes, than
you would have been if you had been brought to
some punishment. I now suffer you to depart. You
will have your friends here to-morrow mining to
enter into security for your good behaviour, but to]
an amount that will not deter any person from being
responsible for you. Each of you may give his own
recognizance for 419, and find two sureties for 4110
each, or one surety fur 420."
The Learned Judge then addressed the Grand Ju-
ry as follows :
" Gentlemen of the Grand Jury—The country is
greatly indebted to you for the services you have al-
ready performed ; but as it may be necessary that
you should reassemble, if fresh disturbances should
be committed, the Court cannot dismiss you in the
usual way. You are for the present dismissed, and
the country is obliged to you for the firm and manly
way in which you have discharged your duties."
Several of the prisoners entered into recognizance&
in Court ; and the whole were about to retire, when
Mr. Justice Anwar desired to make one other obser-
vation to them. He exhorted them, on their return to
their homes, to avoid all excess of liquor, and not to
drink and tipple at public-houses. Such practices
were must pernicious to themselves, and injurious to
their families. It appeared that these transactions
had arisen from a moo issuing out of a public-house.
This was the origin of the present mischief's, and
others of the like nature. He cautioned them there-
fore to avoid such meetings, and such conduct, for
the future. The Court then adjourned till this day.

William Bemis: the elder, and Williams Beamise the

loniously assaulted Robert Cheeseright the younger,
of Littleport, in the ' Isle of Ely, and put him in
bodily fear, and with having taken from his person'
a banker's cash note of the value of AI. The indict-
ment contained two other counts, charging the pri-
soners with an assatilr on Robert Cheeseright the
elder, and with having feloniously taken the said note
from him.
Mr. GURNEY addressed the Jury.—lt had been im-
possiblii to consider the several cases which had come
under their consideration without very melancholy
reflections ; but none could be more afflicting dials
to see father and son standing indicted together for a
robbery. They had both engaged in the riot in the
town of Littleport, which produced so many excesses.
The mob had been at several houses, when Mr.
Cheeseright heard that they were approaching his
dwelling ; and knowing what would be his fate if ha
resisted, he gave his sun the note, in order that he
miBht hand it over to the mob, to protect his house
and property ; and young Cheeseright, in his father's
presence and by his order, gave the note, which was
demanded by William Bearaiss the son, and token
by his father.

sold, one by Brut, the other by WEBB, and were dis-

" GLENARVAN"—The following are extracts from
the Preface to the Second Edition of this interesting
and extraordinary productions
Glenarvon was written and committed to the
press without permission, communication, advice,
or assistance—this may account for, though it can-
not excuse all the slighter, and many it is trusted,
of the more serious errors of the composition.— With
respect to the character:, the painter well kndws,
that when he is sketching the personages of his.
tory, or the creatures of his imagination, the linea-
ments, with which he is most familiar, will some-
times almost involuntarily rise beneath the touch of
his pencil. The same cause has perhaps produced in
this work, those resemblantes, it resemblances they
be. which have been recognized, admitted, claimed
with so much eagerness, and then condemned with so
much asperity. Yet a distinction is always to be drawn
between the attompt at painting human nature as it
is, and the base desire of deforming and degrading it.
Much of the ridicule which has received a personal
application, is harmless in itself, and directed against
trifling peculiarities ; some imputations there are, no
doubt, of a heavier nature, and these were conceived
to have been justified by injury and provocation. An
appeal is .still confidently urged to those who have
read impartially, whether, whatever may be the cha-
racter of the more general reflections, the features of
the few supposed portraits are overcharged and dis-
torted, as it by the hand of malevolence, or whether
their beauties are not studiously heightened and brought
forth, and their defects in some measure thrown into
shade and concealed."—We understand there exists
a. great difference of opinion on this point among the
fashionable would.

Ever ready, through the channel of oar Paper, to
