In the ye.ir 1?..116, a Farmer inWorcestershire took
a farm. which hail been previoutly let at 2401. a•year,
(a price .the land was well worth) at a redliction of
70/. per annum, p tying the landlord 1701. rest for it.
lie has occupied this farm four years; his poor rates
sre grown up to 251. per acre ; and findings !timid'
losing money every year, lie has now thrown up the
farm and let it, because the landlord will not consent
to reduce the rent to 704 a year. A mortgage of
1,0001. exists on the farm, which occasions an anneal
detneml of 501. upon the landlord ; so that lee has
now only ;?.0/. a-year left in the place of 1901. a-year,
which existed on the average of ten years. daring the

There are several farms in the neighbouels-ood,
(Dunalow, Essex), where the tenants have become in-
solvent. At iiallinghdry park, a Charter-110114e farm
of 300 acres, the tenant being lately drat, and- being
three year% in arrear Of rent, it will take all the effects
of the family to pay it, leaving nothing for other cre-
ditors; and the widow and seven children would be
destitute; • were it not for the hum only lathe Charter•
house, who settled an annuity op the widow."
" Simon Attridge, 78 years of age, and his wife near
SO, holds 300 tteres ; a very plain, industrious farmer,
who, wishing to make his will, bad his property valued
by an eminent surveyor iAlfHtf, who estimated it at
3,0301., and it is note expected, when his creditors are
called together, there will he nothing left for Unwell
and wife but the forlorn prospect of spending their few
remaining days in a workhouse; and which I feel cer-
tain most shortly be the case of all the agricultural
tenants, unless some speedy and effectual' relief is granted
them."—Mr. Litchfield ftlfrititirs Evidence before the

fi;lonionsly using and uttering the same. Mr. Jeffrey
undertook the defence of the prisoner.
The indictment having been read, and found rele-
vant, and a Jury being empanelled, the prisoner
plea led Onilty. .
The case was restricted, by the Sotacrroa-Oestenai,
to an arbitrary punishment. -' •
Mr. Jerrnor pleaded, ou the part of the prisoner,
(in mitigation of punishment,) that he was a young
man who had been originally vecommende,l to him es
one most respectably connected, and one who, up to
the period of this offence, had borne a very exemplary
character. Sentenced to 14 years transportation.

bar, accused of housebreaking and theft.
The Court adjourned the diet with respect to David
Heaton, until Monday next. John Smith pleaded
Moiety. -
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL also restricted this offence
to an arbitrary punishment; but the Court having no-
deed the prisoner's crime as consisting of those aggra-
vated by housebreaking, and that the latter offence had
been committed twice ; added to which there was the
serious aggravation of being habit and repute a thief,
the sentence on the prisoner was that he be transported
for the whole term of Isis natural life,

July last entered the house of John Horsburg, in the
Grass market, and theftuonslv removed from under a
pillow, a blue cloth vest.anol a black leather pocket-
