KING'S BENCll.—Trics DAY.

THB ZING V. Tat MAGISTRATES Or TOBEIFTIRR.
Mr. SCARLIITT applied to the Court for a Alandmina
against the Magistrates of Yorkshire, seder tlso following
ctrenunstanres:—

Colonel Stephenson, the visiting Justice of the House of
Correction, at Beverley,in the exercise of his duty, while
visiting the Prison, discovered the prisoners who were
remaining for trial, were placed at the Tread Mill, Al/.1
obliged to work in the same manner as those who had b-en
convicted. Considering such a proceeding impropei, he
rvresented it several times to the Beach of Magi-
trate.; but finding all his efforts unavailing, he
sent in a protest against the proceeding, and Green it to
be taken into coon leration ; the Bench, however, refos.rl
doing so, and Col. Stephenssn'now applied fur the manda-
mus to compel the Benrh of Ylstristrates to take his protest
into consideration. The learned Jtidgee observed th tt
where an individual is placed in a prison, he must paestakit
of the prison allow inre, or w3rk to maintain hi-iself bee-
ter; hut, where a prisoner was- idle andl refused to week,
it was the defy of 111111-Stagistrittes to make hill. They;
therefore, saw no growod for granting the application, awl
refused the madman.

Jokelleiteesy was brought to this Office on a 'elute 's:4
stealing 31 sovereigns, and a half ign sfrom iris
Landlady.
Winified O'Connor, his Landlady, a native of; the
Emerald isle, richly gifted with the tree broptc, proceeded,
in a circuitous way, to tell her tale, stoutly arguing that, if
not allowed to tell her story her own way, she could not
tell it at all. It appeared that on Tuesday she connVd int,
her box the above sum before lilt prisoner, and locking her
box, she went out. !Lemming about two I. wits after, she
found to her dismay her box broken open, and her move;
gone. The prisoner was out on her return, and as lie di-d
not corns. house to sleep, her suspicions were directed
tor.arils him. Her koshaod, chs said, was a painter, a-id
the money was a board saved from his earnings against
the winter, when work is slack. Tne prisoner was acci-
dentally met this morning by a neighhour, who fouiri
him drinking at a public house by Highgate Archway,
and desiring tie Landlord to detain him, he sat ollia
search of a Constable. In the interim, some friends of the
prisoner collected round the house, and threatened to break
his windows if he did not let the °men go ; which, in
consequence, he did. _The constable, however, following
the road he had ;taken, overtook, and secured him: Oa
his person was found 29 sovereigns, and s'. • •

The Magistrate was not disposed to credit this statement,
alai therefore committed him to tp fur trial.

On Sunday last, about two o'clock. a. in., a fire broke out in •
Ike extensivecottoo•milis of Sir Robert Pael, Bart. at Fazely,
Warwickshire, in the occupation of Mr. John limiter, whim
owing to the combustible ntbire of the property therein, raged
with each fury, that in the short spa e of two hours, the whole
of the very valuable machinery, which had been cousiderably
segmented within the last four or five weeks, together with the
stock of manufactured cotton and that in process, were en-
tireix consumed. end the buildings, es:epting the mere outer
i walls, were razed to the earth. The engines from the print
Lworks of Messrs. R. Peel and Co. at Banehill, end from Tam-
worth, were in early attendance ; bat before their arrival, the
Ire had become general aiid appelling beyond description, and
bray effort to arrest its ravaees was entailing. Titrough the
Imitable exertions of the persons assemble I, the greater
part of the stock of ra a' cotton was saved, and insurances bid
been effected in different °Rime, which render the lose mops • •
ratively loconsiderable. The calamity will be severely felt dr
a vast number of families depen•lent on their employment its
these mills for support; but this is likely to be but of short du-
ration, es active preparations are making for the immediate
erecdon of other mills on the site of those consumed, it is
not at present ascertained how the tire originated.
On Sunday Morning last, about bur "clock, a fire was
discovered in the tallow ta -Bine and candle making ho.tse
and loft of Mr. Caleb Wilson, in Walton lane, Sanded sod.
Thedevonring element raged with great fury for about
two hours, when, by the prompt exertion of Mr. Thongs
Cook, fire engine keeper, and the ready and humane 'Wit:
tines of the inhabitants in general, the tire was got under, thit
not until that part of Mr. Wilson's exteosiaa range of ware•
houses was entirely burnt Gown, and abort half the stock, ific.
therein destroyed. At one time the whole of the premises in
the immediate vicinity were in the most imminent danger, and
the inhabitants' lives placed in the greatest jeopardy. It has
since been ascertained that the fire had communicated front
the tobacco stove to the end of one of the principal timbers of
the warehouse Om the candle mautifectory.—(Newcitsfle
Chronicle.)
On Thursdey the 30th ult. a fire broke oat in the vi 11.40
of Basington Orange, near Belford, when two vanity
houses and a joiner's workshop were entirely destroye t .—.
The progress of the flames was so rapid, that notwithstand-
ing every exertion was made to save the furoiture, a smell
part only could be got oat before the roof fell in. The
valnable stick yard of John Nesbit, Esq. adjoining the
pretni.er, was in a.utninent danger durini the oonflagratioo,
hot we are happy to say it 'sward the fury of the flaws.
The fire was ceased by a boy, who, in the absence of lass
parents, placed a lighted GALIIe too am the tbatniod tteaf
