raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married
men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be
wedded : and " The Spectator" lies affirmed, that the word

The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the
desideratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with hap-

Previoui, however, to entering into this hallowed obliga-

purities, which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may
have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are

hapless instances, which, while
they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also
impress him with the tear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeininhw the body—a residence In

does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently com-

hope--energy—muscular strength—felicity ; nor will our
advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the

This wit* action of trespass, Intoned by a widow

and Howell, the collector of poor rates of that parish,
for breaking into her house and disturbing her in her
possession. The scm of three pounds was paid into

hour no one called, hot at eight in the evening, a knock
was hoard at the front door, and won after, Miss Prid-
die, in passing a window on the staircase, saw Malian' in
the act of scaling the palings at the bottom of the gar-
den. She hastened to the back door, which was a little
open, and b ,Iced it ; but immediately after lie broke open
the door with considerable violence, and entered the
hones.. She then laid on the table a sovereign and nearly
21.15. in silver, and begged him to take the rate and re-
tire; he did not take it then, but rushed by her and
opened the front door when Howell and another person,
named Cranbrooke, entered the house. She then paid
If. I Is. 6d. ; but Ale. Cranbrooke of returned 6s.
6d. to her, saying that she hail given too nincli. They
remained three qnarters of an hour in the house, and
Hallam and Howell behaved with great rudeness and
violence, bring in a state of intoxication : but Crain-
brooke conducted himself with civility and kindness.—
A mob was collected at the door; but whether by the
conduct of the defendants, or the attempt of the
woman to obtain advice and assistance, did not dis-
ci octly appear.
The Loan Untie Junice suggested a doubt whether
obe action of trespass could be supported, as the local
act under which the rate was levied, de i:rd that no
action of tresspass should be sustained for any irregula-
rity is conducting a distress by virtue of a warrant, an d
recommended that, in order to avoid this question, some
accommodation should be effected.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL, tor the defendant, offered
to withdraw a juror; lint the Common sergeant for the
plaintiff, rejected the offer, expressing his confidence that
the forcible entry of the house was no irregularity, but
an utterly unjustifiable trespass.
The Sotdcrrou (lemma'. addressed the Jury, arguing
that the witness", had evidently attempted to give a
false colouring to fhe transaction, in which they were
almost as much interested as the plaintiff. He did not
;tut in the warrant, and therefore the glettion ro-
speetiog the form of action anticipated by the Lord
thief 4netice did not rive. .

This was en action against Ale3lft. Marsh and Co. bank-
ers, to recover the stem of 4061. alleged to be receive( by
them to the um of the plaintiffs.
The Souceroe-Gesensz stated the circumstances under
which .the plaintiffs sought to recover. Some time before
the corianstioweif his Majesty, many persons were desirous
of obtaining from the Board of Works permission to erect
temporary buildings for the accommodation of the specta-
tors. Among these were the plaintiffs, who proposed to
take a frontage of 116 feet. at 31. 10s. a foot. Before this
contract was completed, Messrs. Brindleys offered to take
a larger piece of ground, includieg WS. and it was granted
to them on condition that they would let the 1W feet to the
plaintiffs at the same price which they were to pay to Go-
vernment. As it was doubtful whether the coronation would
take place, and as it was understood that if it should not oc-
cur, Government would remit the rent to the contractors, it.
was also agreed that a similar remission should he made in
favour of the plaintiffs. Under these circiorstance., the
sum of 4061. was paid by Messrs. Truscott and Co. Into the
hands of Messrs. Marsh and Co. the defendants, to be paid
in the one event to them, and In the other, to Messrs. Brind-
leys. The coronation did take place; but the speculation
of Messrs. Brindleys and of the plaintiffs turned out so un-
fortunate, that each sustained considerable loss, independent
of the rent which they were to pay. Messrs. Brindleys,
therefore, with others, petitioned for a re:nissi in of the
rest, and the Treasury, with a liberality which its officers
were always disposed to show, remitted the whole rent.—
Messrs. Truscott and Co. now contended that they were
entitled to participate in the benefits of their remission; but
Messrs. Brindleys asserted their right to receive the whole
rent from them, although they paid nothing to Government;
and the defendants, Messrs. Marsh and Co. had paid over
the itldt. to them, on their indemnifying them against the
claims of the plaintiffs. Upon this case, as it would be
proved in evidence, there could be no doubt that, both in
law and justice, the plaintiffs were entitled to recover.
This case was proved by dicers from the Board of
Works.
Mr. F. POIAOCK, for the defendant, put in two letters,
for the purpose of showing. that the rent was only to be
remitted in case no coronation should he solemnized ;
and contended that the plaintiffs were no inure entitled
to share in the linnetit of the remission which Messrs.
Brindlevs had obtained, than if the Treasury- had
presented Messrs. Brindleys with a sum of the same
amount.
The bonne/Mr JUSTICE expressed his decided opi-
nion that the remiseiou of the Treasury was intended
SO &plait. arid did apply, to all parties who had taken
grotind.. tie would, however, give 1-ave to the counsel
for the defendants to bring the case betore the Court on
a motion for entering a notisnit.

Bow Sraerr.—lnfarentaloss was teceived at this of-
fice A few days'arro by Sir Richard Biroie, of a daring
and atrocious outrage committed by poachers in the
grones ail. R. Leathes, Esq. of Shropham Hall, Nor-
folk. On the night of the 29th ult. a party of sere*
keepers, in the service of that gentleman, were on the
look ant fur poachers, when they were met by nine of
that desperate class of men armed with fowling pieces.
and carrying a considerable quantity of game. They
called upon the poachers to surrender or to quit the
grounds, but without snaking any reply they commenced
an attack upon the keepers. A severe conflict took
place, which ended in the defeat of the keepers, four of
which were left senseless on Ilse ground, and have con-
tinued ever since in a precarious state. The principal
keeper, whose name is Skinner, still keeps Isis bed, and
his, recovery is doubtful. The 4round where the conflict
took place was covered with blood, broken gun stocks,
and other marks of the desperate affray.
Sir It. flume sent Bishop, one of the principal Offi-
cers, to Shropl►am Bell, and he succeeded in a?prehend-
ing five men on suspicion of being concerned in the out-
rage. Thair names were—Charles Wes•, John Utter,
John Moore, John Sperling and James Bobby. Bobby
after being a short time in custody, impeached his
fellow prisoners, and they were fully committed to
Norwich Castle for trial; he being committed alto to
give evidence.

to give the following account of herself:—Sbe stated
that her name was Sarah gates; her father was a re-

care of an aunt, who turned her out of doors about tee

montliA apt, when she came with another young wotnan
up to London to procure situations. They fell into bad
company, were inveigled to a house where they were
...dared, and she had since undergone the most painful
vicissitude, ; she was tnrned out of her lodgings ali.lat
tivo months ago, and had since then never been in a bed.
She had wandered about the streets day and night, and
•amctimes for days tozether had not had a morsel of
food. She l.ad not tasted any since Tuesday mornitizs
and had laid down in the park, hoping she might be
released by death ft-wisher mimics.

The Magistrates ordered the Prrk•keeper to have t!.e
girl conveyed to the poor house of St. Margaret's, .1':
to request the Overseers to render her that relief her
situation so much required.

A singular occurrense took place on the evening-of
Friday, 3lst ult, in Fratuwellgate, in this city. Some
time after dark, two women went down a back-yard,
(probably to get water) when shortly the neighbours
were alarmed by loud cries of "murder! murder!"
"help! help!" accompanied by dreadful shrieks and
doleful lamentations issuing from the yard. A great
number of people ran immediately to the place, to learn
the cause of a circumstance which was calculated to Ali
the most courageous mind with terror, when they fount
the two females standing up clove against a wall, and
endeavouring to support themselves,from falling to tha
ground by clinging round each other's neck, and nearly
deprived of their senses by fear. When questioned as
to the cause of their alarm, one of them declared that
they hail seen an apparition of prodigious magnitude,
resembling a cart-load of manure : the other said that
the did not see any thing, but that she heard something
lE:ea coach and six pass along the yard. Both of them
agreed in s:ating, that it threw them to the ground and
passed over them. Now, those who first arrived to
their assistance. found them, not lying on the ground,
but leaning against a call; but such was the tifect of
fear on their immagination. that they could not be per-
sualed that they had never been olrthitir legs. A young
man who lives with his mother in ti /rause adjoininktbet

ll rte, sty, the advocate for miraelei and superostntal
appearances—bow can you get over this—this is a dear
demonstration of the correctness of the opinions which
have always rat. rained on the subject? But he will,'
perhaps, draw in his horns a huh., when he is informed,
that in the yard in question there is a pig-sty, and that
two pigs that hail broke out of it were running about
the yard at that time. Another fact is, that it war
misty night, and those who know any thing of the
science of optics, will be aware than an object is mag-
niti-d considerably by being viewed through a mist.
This kids to the conclusion that the terror experienced
by thole persons was entirely owing to their having seen
