Two bills of indictment preferred agAinet Mr.
Phipps, the proprietor of The News. were last week
thrown out by the Middlesex Grand Jury. The tine
was preferred by Mr. Sharp, the Honorary Secretary
of the "Constitutional Association," for a repuhii•
cation with comments on the article for which he
had previously prefrried a bill that had been rejeete I
by a former Jury ; tire other was on account of the
same at the instance of the Association.
On Saturday last, J obn Lindsey Turner was brought
up before Mr. Justice Best, on a Judge's warrant, to
answer to an indictment, preferred by the Constitu-
tional Association, and found by the London Gran I
Jury, at the late Sessions, for the publication of an
alleged impious and seditious libel ; when the use4l
recognizance, with two sureties for his appearance,
ice. was entered into.
The town of Sudbury was thrown into eonsiderable
bustle on Wednesday, by some wag having impos,cl
upon the common crier to announce that Alderman -
Wood, M.P., had arrived in that place, for the pur- •
pose of refunding to the contributors the money re-
ceived for the purchase of a service of plate for the
late Queen, and that he would meet the subscribers at
the Rose and Crown Inn, between five and seven
o'clock. The Alderman was dining with a friend in
the town when the notice was given : a number of per-
sons maim collected, but measurer were sp.edily taken
to assure them it was a hoax.—(lparich Jelfr/J.71.)
The combination of rhipwrights at Liverpool, which
has long been equally a matter of notoriety and regret,
we are sorry to state, has within these few days added
another most daring outrage to the long catalogue of
riotons and audacious misdemeanours by which (what
they term) the Shipwrights Club has been fer some
years past distinguished. In the course of last week
Mr. Charles Grayson, of Liverpool, ship-builder, under-
too; the repairs of a large ship, which wrr: required to
be accomplished with all possible expedition, and ap,
on account of her large size anti draught of water, it
was only practicable to get her into dock at a certain
period of spring tides, and on the last of which springs
Mr. Grayson bas preparing to get the vessel in, in the
midst of his exertions for that purpose, by a precor-
ceded signal (the ringing of a bell) to large body of
shipwrights of the said club, several hundreds in num-
ber, were in a few minutes collected together, and ad-
vanced in a mass towards the persons employed by Mr.
Grayson to get the ship in, whom they hindered and
impeded by the most menacing and otarageous cox-
duct, so that Mr. Grayson's people, actually fintiihz
their lives to be in imminent danger, were obliged to
desist and betake themselves to a precipitate night for
safety, by which the opportunity of getting in the ship
was lest, and she will, under such circumstances of de—
lay and consequent loss, be obliged to remain until
the next spring tides before the repairs can be begun.
