SMITMFIELD MARKET.

(EXCLUSIVELY FOR TUX STATESMAN.)

The market was yesterday better supplied than opiate
ntarket days, and the difference in the prices in consm
ditlellie is a proof that the great rise was to be attributed
to temporary circumstances. There were about 12,000
sheep and lambs. The price of best withers of nine
stone, f.!•ls.; best lambs of five stone, 18s.; good beef
100 stone, for 15/. 10s, ,worth 171. on Monday. At New-
ore te market. the price of wetter metton 2s. 2d. to 2s. 4d.
.per roue ; best lamb, 3s. to 3s. 4d.

tfAfiTINE EL:RAK/XG REVIVED IN SITIOLII.-•—•
On Monday, the rust of July,- a great number of riot-
ous and disorderly persons assembled on the pre-
mises of Mr. Thomas Simpson, an indust►luss
farmer. at Ilurgate, near Botesdale, tenant of Ad-
miral Wilson, and forcibly took and carried away
a threshing machine, his property ; what greatly add
to the enormity of the offence is, that there was
not a man in the parish at that time in want of em-
ployment, and be Ead no other means but that of
working his machine, io order to bring his corn to
market. I: is sincerely to be hoped the offenders will
be seen brought to justice. Another machine was
broken to pieces end destroyed on Tuesday
evening. July the fi:h, on the premises of Mrs. Ann
liluore, widow, at Htddinglieid. By the timely inter-
position of the constables of the parish, aided by a
,trong posse of their neighboms and friends, thirteen
of the rioters were secured, and the nest morning
brought hefoie the general sitting of the Magistrates
Ilt.r the liaipired of Homo., at which were present the
lion. and Kee. F. linthani, C. Chevalier, E. Burke,
aro! W. Illannirg, Clerks, and Geo. Lee, Esq. After a
Jiligent and patient investigation, six of the most noro•

riotas offenderiwere committed to the county gaol of
this town, to take their trial at the quarter Sessions.
The ..one evening a fire broke out in the stack-yard
of 31f. Joseph raabley, of Denham, by which a large
stack of corn was consumed ; as this was without
doubt occasioned by some malicious incendiary, a re-
ward has been ntrereal for discovery.
We feel much satisfaction in stating that the Coven-
try IYearcrs have generally returned to their employ-
m. nt ; and we tu,st sincerely bp that such an adjust-
merit trill eventually take place between tbe Manufac-
turers and W .s. At may effretually pre►ent any
future tnistmderstanding.--(Coren:ry Ikrald.July ID.)

INTERRUPTION IN THR ADMINISTRATION

OF JUSTICE..

Irswtcn, Jets I S.—At our Borough Sessions, on
Friday, George Dorking, fur deans"; • canvass bag
and a peck measure, was sentenced to three months'
imprisonment. Ann Read, for stealing IS yards of
gingham, from the shop of Messrs. Leavold and Delf,
pleaded guilty, but was not sentenced.—Mary Smith,
for stea!i•g a piece of sarsnet, valued 205., from the
some premises, six months' imprisonment.—Ann Li-
-1 mon was acquitted of uttering a counterfeit halfcrown.
. .

About this time Sir IVilliage Middleton, who is one
of the bailiffs, left the Court, having stated, as we are
given to nnderstaed, that it was necessary for him to
do so. The lion. Baronet was informed that his at-
tendance could not be dispenett netscitlp
standing this he departed, when Mr. Recorder Alder-
Ison made the following observations:—

" Let us support the dignity of the Court. I shall
think it my duty to Wing the matter before a superior
Court, u ham, the Corporation may do. How con-
temptible shall we look in the eyes of the world."—
Mr. Nutcatt, town clerk, happening at this moment to
be on the Bench, in conversation with the magistrates.
Mr. Alderson add d him in these words:—` Keep
your place, Mr. Notcett, as clerk of the court, and let 11.1.
not suffer our offices to be trampled upon. W 0 will wait
a reasonable time for his return. I ant quite grieved
for the situation of the poor woman who has been
convicted, and upon whom no sentence has been
passed, and upon whom no sentence can be passed
by any other Court whatever, this Cutlet being dis-
solved. We cannot discharge her; I cannot speak
officially to you (addressing himself to the Court)
as one of the Bailiffss has absented himself. for what
cause I know not. Such a thing never happened
in this or any other Court; nor is it to be met with
in the whole History of England, that I know of.—
No adjournment can take place. I hope the Ma.
gistrates of whatever party (whether Mee or Ycl-
lore) will vindicate the Royal Charter. Such a
contempt was never cast upon a Court. What is ;
to be done with the Bills (Mr. Ray, the Foreman
of the Jury, at this moment presented them) I du
not know, I suppose the Foreman must keep them,
until we hear from a higher Court. Nur da I know
what is to be done with the Petty Jury. Had they
not given i■ their verdict, and had it not been re.
corded, they must, for what I know, have been kept
for six months without food or fire. Ido out know
that the Charter is not, endangered. Had we all
done so, we certainly should have deserved no
Charter.' Mr. Recorder here alluded to a case at
Norwich, where, in absence of the Mayor, sentence
of transportation was passed by him and a brother
Magistrate upon two females. On that occasion,
the next day they were threatened to have a bill of
criminal information filed against them fur thus
acting. In that case be (Mr. A.) wrote to the Secre-
tary of State for his Majesty's free pardon for the fe-
males, which being granted, prevented the bill beisg
filed. Then leaving bin seat, Mr. Recorder " hoped
they should meet again in better times, and when the
administration of Justice would be better attended to."

Aster this spirited remonstrance the Court was ne-
cessarily aijouroed. The Magistrates immediately
wrote to the Secretary of State on account of the
facts that had occurred, and at the same time re-
quested his directions relative to the poor woman
who bad been convicted, but not sentenced, as well sys
the other prisoners for misdemeanors, &e. who had nut
been tried. By the sudden departure of Sir William
Middleton, the Court was thrown into considerable
confusion, at a total stop was put to the administration
of justice.

MARTIN AND TURNEIL—The match between these ce-
'chimed pugilists was made on Tuesday evening, at the
Castle Tavern, Holborn, for 103 guineas aside, the battle
to take place on the 25th of September ; 201. aside being
now deposited in the handset 111 r. S., to be to ade 4W. aside
on the 10th of August, and tte whole of the stakes to
he made good on the 12th if September at Mr. Bel-
cher's.-51artin is the favourite at 6to 4. •
