in the military ? It is they who have done all the mischief."
;It was, however, in consequence of, and in compliance with,
the earnest entreaties of many of the most respectable .inhabit-
ants of tlte town, that the magistrates called in the. military.
He concluded with saving, that, it' the jury entertained any rea-.
sonable doubt of the defendants having, taken any part in the
riot which had, undoubtedly, taken place, they would give them
the benefit of such doubt. To them he would then leave the
case, asking only, at their hands, for what was due to public
justice.
The learned JUDGE then commenced his charge,_ Observing,
that the attention of the jury need not be extended to all the
defendants,—three, at the most; and he thought, when they
came to look into the evidence, even two, rather than three,
would be found to requite their. consideration;-he' referred to
the defendants Greenhalgh and Lawton, The learned judge
then proceeded to sum up the evidence on both Sides in refe-
rence to these two defendants, examining and contrasting that
of the witnesses for the prosecution with that of the persons who
had been examined for the defence; and, in conclusion, his
lordship told the jury, that, if they were of opinion that the evi-
dence in their favour repelled that which related to their al-
leged participation in the acts of violence that were said to have
been committed, then these men would be entitled to their ver-
dict of acquittal.
The Jury retired, and, after an hour's absence, returned into
court wrth a verdict of Nut guilty, as regarded all the seven de-
fendants.

The learned JUDGE then said, that he should take the re-
maining indictment in reference to these transactions the last
thing at these Assizes.
It being within a few minutes of six o'clock when this trial
terminated, the Court adjourned till nine o'clock on Monday
morning.
SWIFT V. MILLER AND OTHERs.—This was an action to ro-
cover damages for the illegal removal of a quantity of manure
from a • Win ocenpied by the plaintiff, at Fulwoa, as tenant Of
Mr. Pedder, on the 14th of January last. The case was only
remarkable for the circumstance of the defendants, through
their counsel, frequently, during the progress of the trial, offer-
ing to settle the case elsewhere to save the time of the Court in
trying such an issue, offers which the Juhge recommended the
plaintiff to accept but which were declined.
• Mr.' Barmy GvaisTrY, in. summing -ap-the-evidence; said, it ap-
peared to him, that the action was that of the attorney, and not
of the nominal plaintiff. If the Jury were of opinion, that ccv
trespass had been committed, the smallest coin on earth would
be sufficient to meet the justice of case; whilst, if they
thought, that, under the circunistances, the dfendants wer;.
justified in what they did, and that, in fact, there had been no
trespass, the defendants were entitled to a verdict.
The Jury accordingly found for the defendants.

ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT.

ant, who is an attorney, living at the same place, to recover da-
mages for an alleged assault and false imprisonment. The July
found for the plaintiff, diunages, one farthing.
