SHERIFF'S COURT, PRESTON.

?Lamm; P. CHAPMAN.

Saturday this cue came on before J. WiLson, Esq.
Under Sheriff.

The plaintiff was the treasnrer appointed under the
Act for paring, lightiug, and watching the town of
Manchester t and the defendant was the printer of The
Manchester Meerrer. The action was for several libels,

pabliabed in that paper, in the beginning of the yawl
1819, charging the plaintiff with bribery, dishonesty',
and peculation, in his office of treasurer; and also with
Atheism. The defendant bad suffered judgment to go
by default, and the case now came on for the purpose of
assessing the damages.
Mr. FELL appeared as Advocate for the plaintiff, and
Mr: B. Lonna attended there, as was said, on the part of
the defendant, and took notes, bet did not appear pub-
licly to take any part in the proceedings. Mr. Fell,
having detailed the case to the Jury, and given evidence
of the situation and circumstances of the parties, be nest
proceeded, in the way of aggravation, to *bow that even
th• libels were false, anal that the defendant must have

known them to be so, and gave in evidence the pro-
ceeding* of the Conunissioners of the town, in which it

appeared that votes of thanks to the plaintiff bad been,
from time to time, passed for his gratuitous and faithful
services; that the defendant attended seine of those meet-

ings as a l'uniinimiuner, and had signed some of tie
vuteii of thank,.

Mr. Wit.sum summed up, and left the case to the Jury,
to give such damages as they thought it merited.
The Jury retired, and tonic with them the papers con-
taining the lapels, and after remaining scale time to-
grtber, returned, and gave in their verdict for 250/. da-

usages.

MANSION-HIWSII.—A riling thief, named Wall, was
charged at this office, hy a watch-maker, with having
starred his window for the purpose of robbing his shop,
at five in the evening. Hi% window bad been broken
a week before by a gang of young thieves, of whom lir
believed the prisoner to 1w one. Ili. wife haring seen
the attempt, prevented anv further mischief. A short
time ago he hail been robbed of a watch worth five gui-
neas by some of the gang., who rot his window, with
the greatest ease, with a common knife. Upon this lle•
caajun he followed the prison/ r, and watched him as fur
as llountbillitcli, where the boy went op to a stationer's
shop, anti in an instant cut a great piece of the window
without the least noise.

Mr. Kelly, of Hound's!itch, stationer* stated that his
window had been cut, hut that he Isa,l lost nothing.
Forrester, the officer, said the prisoner was oue of us
gang thrt infested Fish-street-hill, in the rki;;lsbour-
hood of which they destroyed nightly hour or bye win-
dows, and pillared the shops. All the officers 'mold do
was ineffectual in checking the depredations by young'
thieves. After the witness hal lorkell up the prisoner
he retarned to the watch-maker's house, and hoard that
the windows had been starred in his absence.

The prisoner wa• rept to the House of Correction,
where he is to be placed in solitary confinement.

rising man of soate reapertability for obtaining no less
a satyr than 2501. under a false pretence.
Magistrate.—" What was the false pretence, Ma-1
dim ?"

Miss W.—(simperingly.)—u .1/menage, Sir."
Magistrate.—" With this your; lady, I presume."

osoilestly retiring behind her aunt.
Magistrate.—(To Miss Are yen then the per-

The elderly lady, in great confusion, said it unfortu-
nately was so, and related the circumstances of her case.
She had known the young man in question for a con-
siderahle time, and he had insinuated himself so deeply
into her good graces by his warns professions of regard.
that the was induced to believe him really stricken with
her, notwithstanding the great disparity of years. He
had long solicited her to make him happy, and hearing
In mind the old adage, u better late than never," she at
length consented. The preliminary arrangements were
completed, and the day fixed, and she verily believed
that no earthly power mold turn aside the current of her
good fortune. But, alas ! such is the " mutability of
human affairs," that, notwithstanding all her caution
and all her confidence, slie,was deceived—basely de-
ceived ! Under pretence of Ktiking some necessary pur-
chases, he prevailed upon her to ashes.', hips 4504 and
from that moment that he obtainNi it, he became an

her money in the ?whose of dogs and horses, he spec
the whole of his time between the field and the tavern.
i In short, after *considerable delay, he hail the effrontery
to derlare of the match altogether! Such treatment,
she thought, was not to be borne in a Christian country,
anal she trusted the Magistrate would issue his warrant,
'ltt order that the offender might be punished.
The Magistrate, kindly condoling with the lady on
the loss of her money, nisseived; that it was base Weed
so to trifle with the feelings of a laity, and especially one
of her years, and he certainly thought it a case strongly i
demanding the interference of the law.
A warrant was issued, and an officer dispatched in I
search of the gay deceiver, but he was not to he found;
and it was subseqttently ascertained, that having got
scent of the hostile intentions of the lady, lie had scraped
Itis few matters together, and taken a hasty departure I
for the Continent. The offender, therefore, has at

her 2501., and a living example to all aged spinsters.
