On Monday, the 3d instant, this interesting trial
was called on, and occupied two entire days, before a
Special Jury, in hearing the merits of the question.
The junior Counsel opened the pleadings, by stating
that this was an action of trpspass rid 11 away to re-
cover damages for a seizure of tea, made so long bark
as the 24th of October, ISM by the defendants, in
the character of revenue-officers, out of the premises
of the plaintiff, a most respectable grocer, residing in
South tient leirorge-street, they alleging that it was
spurious tea.
Mr. Burroughs, in a long and elognent speech.
stated the particular circumstances of the C::916, and
the hardships sustained by the plaintiff, both in cha-
racter and property, from this illegal seizure.
It appeared in evidence, that the tea in question
had been seized by the defendants, and, after seizure,
had undergone a lung and minute trial anti examina-
tion before the Commissioners, at the (',,atom-house.
and that judgment was given by then, in favour of
the present plaintiff. An appeal against this judg-
ment was lodged by the defendants in the Court of
Appeals, and after numerous hearings before the Cum-
misoioners in this Court, the tea was orslcre.l to be
returned to the plaintiff, it being judged by both
Courts not to be spurious, lint r: al, !Termitic tea.
The evidence proved an the present trial, that the
tea seized was bought from Messrs. Thompson and
Co., tea merchants, and that they imported it direct
from the India House, and paid the usual duty at thlt
Custom-house.
The tea was examinetl in Court by mist respeetabk
and experienced merchants in this trade, nod declared
by them upon oath to be genuine bohen, such as is
usually imported—it also appeared by several shop-
keepers iu plaintiff's employment, since the year 1810,
like year of the plaintiff's commencin7 business, that
spurious tea was bought or sold by • him, and if
there had been such, they must hare known it ; anti
that no tea ever caner to his concern, save, in the usual
chests from tea merchants.
After two days' patent hearing, and a luminous
charge from the Learned and upright Judge, the Jury,
without hesitation, brought in a verdict of 3001. da-
mages, with costs, for the plaintiff.

In the house of Jonathan Lee, in Swain/ruin, Bradford,
on flie night of the 26th of April last. While they were
threatening to take Lee's life if he stirred, and plunder-
ing his property, the servant maid escaped, and alarmed
the moiglobattrs. The rubbers were anrptisetl, and all
but Pnoicheon weevil, after a violent scuffle, with bind-
rens, sticks, and whip-emit', which were identified in
Court. Penehron was soon afterwards secured, and
Lee:a property found in his pia ion. It was sited,
at Thaekeray, a very good-looking youth, had ern
deprived of all means of snpport by the bankruptcy and
flight of his master, a fender-maker, and that he hail
been refused relief by the parish-officers. *menee of
death was pronounced twos them at the rising of the

.gen-
teel looking, and was very genterly dressed. Suspicion
had been attached to him by hearing his mother say,
" 0 Tom, 0 Tom. yon will be banged now."
Mr. Justice PARK addressed them to this effect :—I t "s
most melancholy to see five young Dien, so ,Ircrnt and
so reeprenable-looking as you seem, standing in that si-
tuation to receive sentence sof death for your crimes.—
Your crimes. indes:A. are of the deepest dye. You.
Thomas Smith, most wickedly availed yourself of the
confidence and kindness of your neighbour, to steal &bin
him his whole stock. He who always receives, eon and
rim wife with hospitality and friendship you robbed oft
all his property. Such was his confidence in you, that
for weeks Afterward,. he never entertained the slightest
snspiehon of you, and he has now given von au extremely
good • haracter. 1 on, Richard Puncheon, Richard
Tlineki ray, William Krt:lewell, and Robert Hudson,
were giii!iy of cruelly invading the house of a poor peace-
ful man, d nri nit the repose of night, and of putting him
aml his family in fear of their lit es. You have pleaded
poverty. Tliackeray. Poverty is no PICCHIO' for crime.
lint I shall represent that circumstance to his Maiesty,
who never fails to pay humane attention to the
motive* and circumstances that lead to crime; but, exer-
'eising the best judgment I am able, I dare not hold out
any hopes of mercy to tone of von. Let use, therefore,
press 'noon you the necessity d applying yeurselves to
bumble prayer, siemere repentance, and earnest entreaty
to lion for mercy, throne!' Jases Conn.'s., if tiepin
Yon may yet he led in the paths of everlasting salvation.
bo not expect earthly merry, for I can give you no
prospect of it. The sentence of the law is, that yule be
severalty hanged by the neck till you are dead, and may
800 have mercy on your truly guilty sonls.

sated (or killing and slaying Eleanor Clarkson, wife of
**re:, Clarkson. thlusolmaster at Bowes, llt the'North
Biding. The prisoner bad been epprenlice and usher-
in the echool, and it may he recollected that he had
been represented as a radical who bad murdered Mrs.
Clarkson for reprimanding bis assiduity in teaching the
boys radical notions.
Mr. HOLT opened the case pretty nearly such as it
was proved in et Metier. Mrs. Clarkson made some,
puurh for herself between three and four o'clock. Mr.
Clarkson returned in the evening from Barnard-rustle
rarket. 'He was tiptoe. Mrs. Clarkaon was not sober.

lion separated them, and followed Mr. Wedgwood ont of
the roots, pnabing him away. She held a tin candle-
*irk with a lighted candle in her hand. At the dour
of the parlour she feH and groaned deeply In a few
minutes tfterwards she expired. Iler 'knit was exposed
fur the apace of four inches on the crown of her head.
The prisoner always declared that he only thrust her
from him with his band open. It is certain that he
held nothing in his hand. She still held the candle-
stick while stretched on the ground. It is believed that
in falling her head struck against the archirave. The
prisoner avas at once acquitted.
Mr. Wiwans was Counsel for the prisoner.
Mum:mi.—The only charge of 1111 l Myr, in all its tor-
runs, in the calendar, is that against William ellolliel.l, '

specting the evidence to lie produced.
Mr. JONES applied to be allowed not to prefer the bill

material witness, John Staneslm, who had absconded.

ther witness, setting forth that Stanesby had cense to de-
ponent's house and 'offered him 5i., Inf., and even to the
amount of 5411., if he would go oat of the way and nut
appear to give evidence. Deponent further set forth,
that Stanesby list! suddenly left Bradford, and that he
bail been previonsly &inkier several days in Oldfield's

6th regiment, was tried under Lord EllenborouFh's Act,
fur stabbing Nathaniel Kitchiug, at Halifax-. fhe case
wasopened Leone of the alleged outrages by the military
upon peaceable and unarmed subjects: but in evide
it turned out that the prosecutor had been drunk, and
had charged the prisoner with robbing, because he had
helped him to his hat, being on guard at the time. The
prosecutor had been wonntled in the thigh, but it did nott
appear quite certain whether the %vomit' was inten-
tionally given or accidentally, the pr:s tier attempting to
prevent the prosecutor from entering a smithy. Ile was
aeritted without hesitation.
Mr. wiLuAxiK conducted the prosecution, Mr. ALDER-
sox defended the prisoner.
Nist Pnies.—lt is probably known that a mod jndici-
nos arrangement is made fur the purpose of saving time
and expense to parties enraged in litigation in this en-
: lenitive county. The causes are taken by riding.. The
West-riding trot, and the North-and Eitst•riliings next, i
