most, tried at the last Anises for the &misty. of Lei-
cester, before' Mr. hitiee Richardson, whealr verdict
was found for the plaintfir Last Term, Mr. &Piga.'
Vaughan owed foe a Rule to thew cause why a mew
trial should not be granted.
The ease was is substance this 2—The plaintiff bad I
bean servant in the employment of Mr. Cheek, clerk
to the Magistrate's division, in which tbe defeadan!
acted. Fur some alleged familiarity with his servants,
Mr. Cheek dismissed the plaintiffaad afterwardsbraogln t
him before the Magistrates to parish him foe his al-
leged misconduct. The defeatism, upon Israel ng the case
stated, committed the plaintiff, as a labourer in hus-
bandry, fur three months, by virtue of the 6 Deo. 111.
c. 25, being eight days re than the statute author-
ised. For this excess of jurisdiction, the defendant
tendered the sum of Al. as amends, and the question
went to the Jury un the adequacy of the tender. The
plaintiff when before the Justices, offered to calla wit-
ness to peeve that Mr. Cheek had discharged him,
and consequently not being thew his servant, the Jas.
Cies had no jurisdiction fur a by-gone offence. The
Learned Judge pat it to the Jury, whether the Jus-
tices were cognisant of the fact, that Mr. Cheek had
dismissed the plaintiff from his service at the time the
complaint was made ? The Jury, adverting to the evi-
dence before them, were of opinion that they were not,
and foend their verdict for the defendant, affirming the
sulliciency of the tender.
Mr. Cs.snita now 'hewed cause against the rule,
and contended, that the finding of the Jury upon tier
fact, whether the defendant at the time the plaintiff a es
committed knew that be was no longer Mr. Cheek's
servant, was conclusive of the case.
The Cocar. however, were of opinion, (without
hearing Mr. Serjeant Vaughan), that there Gayly
to be a new trial, hut upon payment of costs.—Rule
absolute.

An Inquisition was taken yesteeday evening, it the
sign of the Prince Regent? in Sidmostb-street, Heap.
issn-tane, Wore Thomas Sfltling, Esq. Coroner for the
Western Division of the County of Middlesex, on view
of the body of 'Rickard Amer, who met with Ms
death as sill appear from the following evidence.
W. Lee sworn.—l lite in Span's-buildings, Pancras-
place, and am a cabinet-maker.—l' was acquainted
with the deceased; he was between 40 and 45 yeti.,
of age; he was a married man, bet bad no children.
Between five and six o'clock yesterday evening I was
at work at Mr. Cubit's, builder, in (fray's-inn-lane.
—1 was standing at my bench, and the deceased
was standing near me. I was alarmed at a llnd ex-
plosion which took place at about two yards from
where I stood. I turned round, and saw nothing but
a large body of dame and smile. The deco. s d and
I ran out of the way ; hut after our first alarm had
subsided, we returned, and net Frederick Collins, a
lad about eighteen years of age, all on fire. He ran
past us out Into the yard, and we proceeded towards
the spot where the accident happened,and there found
Joseph Martin, a boy twelve years of age, lying on
the floor, all in dames, the deceased laid hold of him
and pulled him *boat four yards out of the way, and
laid him at my feet. I took a blanket and rolled him
iu it, and then I went to the cistern to procure some
water to throw on the fire, which I did, and in ten
minutes I returned and found the deceased lying on
his bark on the door near Martin, he was quite insen-
sible, and I believe dead. I ordered him to be re-
snowed into an adjoining room, and surgeon Mac-
d.mnell, who was sent for, came and attempted to bleed
him, but he gave only a few drops of blood. I went
to assist in extinguishing the fire, and did n it Pee him
alive ever after. The deceas•d was not in the least
hifriwil, nor did he reoeire the least bodily injury ; and
I suppose his death was caused from the fright or agi-
ia ion he was in ; lie was subject to a rough, and tre-
quently complained of a sad pain in his chest. Ihr
accident was rause.' by making. French polish, a com
position of spirits of wine, &c., for the purpose of
polishing furniture ; it was in a large bottle, wel
corked, and tied down with a string it was warming
in a copper of hot water, the Salter as Ole is melted,
and I suppose, that as Collins was shaking it, b.
struck it against the iron plate and broke it, and it
bring infiaminalile, it caught fi..e. t never considere,
it fiangen.u. to make. Collins and Martin were
flieadfully burned, and carried to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, where they both died this morning.

James Nlactintinell, of Anton-street, surgeon, sworn.
—I opened the body; I found the intestines in a
healthy state, except the left lobe of the lungs, whirl.
was v •ry much int a•t:ed ; the head I also opened, and
found it in a healthy state ; I do not consider the in-
daniniation on the lungs as the immediate cause of his
iiestli, which 1 attribute to a sodden spasm of the heart,
caused by the agitation or fright he was thrown into.
—The Jury consulted a short time, and returned a
verdict—lfied from the visitation of tiod.

EXT AO tOIN t 'Or BUGLOt K.—There is at relent to
be i•een ou the firm of Nunfirld, in the immediate vi-
cinity of Dionfrieli, an Ox of the leeswater or short-
horned breed, and of the following extraordinary di-
mensions

Ft. In.
Length from the nose to the top of the romp I I I I
Girth round the middle

Girth roomil the heart

Ileight of the ikhoulder
Height from the hind foot to topof the rump 6 6

These measurements were taken in our own presence,
and may be relied on as perfectly correct. independent-
ly of his great site. this animal is extremely handsome,
and by the time lie has had experience of the oil-cake
and other luxuries of an English farm-yard, he will
probably form a greater curiosity than the celebrated
"Ceps-All," the largest Ox ever exhibited in Scotland.
At present he is supposed by competent jnilges to
weigh nearly 2tso stone English; and he is both higher
and stronger in the bone than " Caps-All ;" there is
no saving to what size he may ultimately attain. Till
within these few months, Mr. Gibb, the proprietor, had
paid little attention to the keeping of this extraortli-
nary animal; as a proof of which we may mention,
that be was one season wintered, in addition to his
manner, for the low rate of ten shillings,and fed only
on wheaten straw. He is exactly five years old, and
was purchased in Carlisle market when only one year
old, for 91. sterling—a price sufficiently liberal, con-
sidering his age and condition, and which Mr. Gibb
was chi-fly inilnced to give, froni the largeness or his
bone. Hut the speculation is likely to turn out every
goal one, as we have just been informed that Mr.
UM has disposed of this ox for the handsome price
of 200 guineas.—(Densfries Courier.)
Mr. Patrick Freeman, of High Heaton, near this
town, farmer. has a cow whose milk yields weekly
the extraordinary quantity of thirteen pounds of butter.

DR E ADFUL ACCII us wr.—Last night, about half-past
seven o'clock, preparatory to the Norwich Mil Cart
starting from Mr. Sadler's coach-office, in Goswell—
street, the ostler aas lilting the horse to the vehicle,
when the animal took fright, and ran with the greatest
fury along Coswell-street, through St. Martin'a-le-
grand, knocking down and running over several per-
sons on its way who endeavoured to stop it. It then
turned round the corner of Newgate-street, and bent
its course along Cheapside with such velocity that the
lives of the I assengers were placed in imminent dan-
ger. At the corner of Old Change, Cheapside, the
wheel caught une of the iron posts with such excessive
Violence, that the wheel flew off, and dashed against a
man who was very near, and who was knocked Insen-
slide to the ground, the blood gushed from his head
in a dreadful manner. The affrighted animal was not
,et stopped in his progress, and it ran on with re-
doubled fury, from the noise proceeding from the shock
of the above circotnstance; two men endeavoured to
stop it, bolt nue of them was knocked down, and the
• vehicle paled over his body, he was also dreadfully
injured. The horse then ran on as far as Bow
Church, where it war stopped by a boy,
. hold of the reins. The two unfortunate men

knocked down, were carried to Si.. Hai
,lo.pital; one of them received a dreadful
'ter the eye from thr wheel, the blood gushed
'truly. They were not able to speak, and
Mk hope if recovery.
