LAW lATELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OvimuLL, Oar. 30.
you r. HARMS.

This wa• an action of assault.

Mr. tiveN ET stated the facts of the cue:—Ahotit
tea at night, on the IStls of November last, the plain-
:it, a respectable individual, residing in the rates of
the King's Bench, was led by his necessities. or by
his inclinations, to a cook's-slsop in the London•road,
kept by the defendant. Ham (whether hot or cold it
did not distinctly appear) was the object of Mr. Young,
and a slice was cut by the damsel of the counter for
his benefit. Upon the merits of the meat, or of a I/.
vote which the plaintiff tendered in payment, w..rds
a ose ; and the cook, boiling with rage, rallied from
his back parlour to the aid of his hand-maiden. Vow-
kg, by spit and dripping-pan, revenge. he poked the
whole ham into his customer's fare, and afterwards
beat him with the but-end of it : he stuck his fork
through the plaintiffs pound note, and threatened to
stick his knife through the plaintiff's person: finally,
he tore Mr. Young's coat, poured graty upon Isis
cravat, and taxed !Alm as a common utterer of forged
roues; locked the shop-door, mentioned the bank,
sad menaced the Old Bailey. A mob collected round
the window, but Mr. Harris courted publicity ; a con-
stable came in, but .Mr. Harris non-suited all media-
tion ; he claimed the plaintiff as Isis peculiar prisoner,
taken by the valour of his owls arm, and refused
erally to liberate him, or to surrender him to the
charge of the minister of law. At length the de-
fendant consented to abate his rage, and allow the
plaintiff to be conveyed to the u ateh-1 e; at the
watch-house he was searched, and five pound motesl
were taken from his pories, all of which, •s well as,
the note originally in question, proved to be unex-
ceptionable. Foiled in the purchase of the defendant's
hams, and defeated in attempting even the protect'
of his outs, Mr. Young applies! to Mr. Harris for an
ar.slogy ; the wrathful conk, refused all reparation,
and for damage done to his coat and to his character,
the plaintiff now threw himself upon the justice of
his country.
. . _ .

On the part of the defendant no counsel appeared :
and 3lr. Justice llEst. thought Mr. Young entitled to
temperate &images.

Mr. liras ry stated the rase. In the year 1,41'1. it
appeared, a certain sow and pigs belonging to the de.
fondant trespassed upon the premises of some litigious
neilhhuur, and were in consequence committee, to the

OLD BAILEY.—Tuts Humnxa.

Thomas Larrotray stood Indicted for the w;Ifill mur-
der of Juhn tireene. at Hackney, in the county of Middle-
sex. The prisoner kept a public-house at Hackney.
' The deceased came to his house on the day mentioned in
the indictment, and asked for a glass off` gin. He was
at that time in a state of intoxication. After haring
drank the liquor, lie refused to pay for it, and was ex-
: treniely abusive to the prisoner ; on which a quarrel en-
: sued, in which it appeared, that the deceased was car-
ried to a neighbouring house severely wounded. After
eight or nine days lingering, he died. S I persons
swore as to the existence of the quarrel. A Surgeon of
the London Hospital swore, that he opened the head of
the deceased after death, and found much ext ted
blood, to which he attributed his death.
Mr. Justice PACK summed up and charged the Jivat.
He said there wai no colour for a charge of murder, bat
if the circnmstances of the case warranted it, they wout.l
find him g.iilty of manslaughter. The Jury rev!, I,
and after about fifteen minutes returned a verdict of Nut
Guilty of either offence.
Mr. ALLav appeared for the prosecition. Mr. ADOL.
PIM! and Mr. 1311006R1C11 for the prisoner.
The Learned -hums on arldrrning the prisonot cau-
tioned him to be more circninspetttt in future. He ka.l
a most merciful Jury. It appeared all emits that he

VOVNTAINZ V. OVIRLAND.

This was an action brought by Andrew Fountain.,
Esq. against the defendant, who is a horse-dealer, to
recover back the sum of being the price of a horse
sold by the defendant to the plaintiff, which proved bi-
cions, and unfit to draw in double harness, the purpose
for which the horse was purchased. The plaintiff also
sought to recover the sum of 20/. 16s. 'JJ., being the
horse's keep.
It appeared in evidence, that the plaintiff, having lost
one set his coach-horses, had applied to the defendant to
procure him another to match the retuaiuing our; the de.
fendant in consequence sent to the plaintiff a horse to
snatch, but that proving unsound,was returned to the de-
fendant,who was permitted to keep the money paid for it
(75'.); for the purpose of procuring another. Shortly ,tier
he did procure another, which was sent to the plaintiff's
stable. The plaintiff on seeing it, express-NI ins perfect
approbation of the horse's size, coloar. &c. and requested
to hoots whether it would go in double harness—the de-
fendant replied he did not know, he had no doubt it would ;
he had tried it in single harness, an I found the horse per-
fectly gentle. The horse was then put to Mr. Fountainc's
carriage, anti driven about the lawn before his loon e ;
the horse was quite quiet ; Mr. Fountaine expressed his
satisfaction, and paid the defendant IW., which, in ad-
dition to the former 751., made tiSt, the price of the
horse. About ton days after, the horse was again put
into Mr. Fountain's carriage, sod after being driven a
short way, lie showed symptoms of vice, and afterwards
kicked very violently ; of this the defendant ass
informed, who recommended to Ms. Fouataine's c Edel-
man that he should give the horse a dose of physic,
and then rub his bit with oil or vitriol, which would
make the horse so ill he could not kick. On Mr. F.'s
expressing his di sapprobatiou of the horse, the defendant .
said he would take inns hack, but afterward, refused to
do so, when the horse was sent to his stables--ou which
the horse was put to a livery stable, and an expense sof

the Jury was whether the knowledge which the defendant
had of the purpose for which the burse was wanted, was
sulLisot to raise an implied warrantta on the part oY
the defendant, that the horse sold was a perfect 'paha
in every respect, and would go iu double harness. Tire

The numbers. at the close of the poll this dap WINO se
follow :
Sir F. nt. lIDETT IOU
ilon.toi sr
Bon. 1~v
Mr. Lean then CAMP forward, and experienced consi-
derable interruption during his short address. ll'e on-
derst I hint to %Ay, ;'.hat the poll of that day, though
somewhat in his f.IYOIIt, was not such as lie was led to
expect from the promises that were made to hint. On
those promis,s, however, he still relied. lie conceived
it to be his duty towards the electors to keep the poll
open to the last moment, and as lie had every de-
pendence on the faith of their engagements, he could
not but suppose tha they would still perform their
duty to him.
Mr. HOUllill:!RE began by observing, that lie hail now
to thank the electors of Westminster, for the noble ef-
forts they had made in the cause of Reform. It was with
much pkasnre also that lie saw them do their duty to
that great man who was their Representative, hut who
had been recently engaged on his trial. For himself,
exhausted as he wag by the fatigue of this long and aniu-
ons contest, he owned that he did not know in what terms
to speak of the verdict in the ease of the lion, Baronet
who was their choice; because in these days no man
knew what might be called a libel or sot. lie confessed
himself utterly at a loss to express himself in terms ade-
quate to the loss they had that day sustained, in the ver-
dict against the Honourable Baronet ; but though the
language might be strong, still they might he allowed
to say, that it had been dictated by an imperious sense
of duty, though there seemed little doubt that the Baro-
net was the object of gross persecution. Yet though such
had been the verdict of the Jury, lie wonlil say no more
than that he was confident that their opinion of the Hoe.
' Baronet was unaltered. After.' few observations an the
,prcseut system of the borough:imagers, lie concluded
by exhorting them to come forward to-morrow., and to
set the question for ever at rest, as he believed that
'over negligence might retard their cause. They had to
support the Hon. Bart. who was now a sufferer in their
cause ; and for himself, he wonld he so while he lived.
The speeches did not occupy- more than nine minutes,
and the crowd had dispersed nearly at half past four
o'clock.

An improvement is making to the entrances of
the House of Commons : the passages are to be
widened, and the door-ways heightened, that, when
the New Parliament assembles, the Members may
walk in upright, and not be obliged to *loop, and
Team sideways, as they have done heretofore.
It is a curious fact, that the first person released,
when the doors of the Madrid Inquisition were
opened, was an Englishman, Captain Meg. He
bad been confined there tifteen days, for having
aided in the formation of a design for a nionament
of the Comlitution, which the Liberals in Madrid
were preparing to erect, when they heard what
was passing in Andalusia.

TIVE/1, IN COSI:R*IX ASSRIIRLKU.
The Petition of the Subscrilwrs, Merchants, and
Traders in the City of New York, respectfully
slieweth;
That your Petitioners, deeply sensible of the eutbar-
rasunents and dist f the country, apprehend that
impoverishment and ruin moat result from the profuse
importation of the products of foreign industry, while
our own products are in a great niessure excluded from
foreign markets.
Though commerce, for a period' of live and twenty
years, has been the medium through which great wealth
has flowed in upon the country, it has been the niellituu
only, and not the source cf that wealth; the attire in.
dustry of our population,etinialated by the existence of
profitable markets abroad, having been the real source
of the riches and advantages occasioned by the protract-
ed wars and distractions of the European world.

The convulsions of Europe drew from their farms and
their shops a large proportion of the agriculturists and
manufacturers, who, embodied in vast armies, consumed
or destroyed a far greater quantity of provisions than
would have been required for their support at bootie, and
in time of peace. By this augmented consnitiption, and
by the conversion of labourers into soldiers, the deli.'
ctency of the means of subsistence was rendered tuore
than equal to the supplies that could be furnished by
this country. Scope was thus gimes to ail the industry
and the enterprise of our citizens. Employment was
found for the shipping! and as the products of the soil
were increased with tl►e increasing, demand for than,
the amount of American tonnage was enlarged to an
enormous extent.
But this de.nand fur our commodities in foreign ►aar-
kets, 05 it arose from an unnatersi and extraordinary
state of things, could not but cease with the circum-
stances which gave it birth. When the armed myrieds
of Europe were ilisbandrd, and thrown back upon so-
ciety, so labour for the support of themselves and others,
`instead of hying eastaiomi at tie peblk expense upon
the fruits of out industry, those markets were lost to
us, and our shipping and our surplus produce were left
upon onr kande,
