SINGULAR CASIL-JEWINSON V. LUPTON.

This was an action brought to recover the snm of
460/., the difference between an original debt, and
that paid under a deed of composition. The plaintiff
is a tallow-chandler, carrying on business in Rochdale;
and the defendant is also a tallow-chandler, residing
at Salford. The circumstances that gave rise to this
action are as follow

In the beginning of the year 1820, the plaintiff, and
many of the other creditors of the defendant, agreed to
accept a composition of 12s. in the pound from him,
upon his representing that he had sustained a very
heavy loss, of which the following are the particulars :
On Friday, the 11th of December, 1819, about three
o'clock in the morning, the defendant went to William
Diggirs, a constable at Salford, and gave an alarm
that his house had been broken into, and robbed of
upwards of 11001. He (the constable), with a watch-
man, went to the house of the defendant, and was con-
dacted by him into the cellar; be there pointed out
the door, as the way by which the house had been en-
tered. On examining this door, it was found that
some violent means had been used to disengage for

staple that fastened the door from its proper place, but
but that such violence bad been applied on the inside
of the cellar. This was mentioned to Mr. Lupton, and
he concurred in this opinion. He then led them to
a ladder that was reared from the cellar to the kitchen
window, and said that that must be the way they bad
got admission. In the cellar they found a small dog,
and the defendant said that they would keep him, for
be would lead to the detection of the r.,bbers. Diggles
ascended the ladder to the kitchen window, which
slided back from the centre, and admitted an opening
of about sixteen or eighteen inches. In the mid-way
of this access there was placed a gas-light copper tube,
which, in the position it stood, would effectually pre-
vent the ingress into the house. This observation was
made to the defendant, and he said that he found it
laid flat on its side, and that he had himself placed it
upright again. 'Jiggles minutely inspected this tithe
at the time, and it then occurred to him that if the pipe
had suffered the treatment the defendant had &scalp-
ed, that it would have broken completely off, and net
have been in the complete and uninjured state whieb
they found it. Defendant and watchman went into
the sittiortoonc and on the table there wass japes-

again the dog the door he bad at first made
choice of; this convinced them that the dog knew that
to be his home. The neu morning the defendant applied
to the Polic•-offiee, and there made known the rob-
Wry. Mr. Derbyshire, of the office, inspected the pre-
mises, yet Ibrburglary remained mysterious. A reward
of 30‘. weettitied, and some of the Bank of England and
other notief particularly described, about six weeks
after the Leek-box cootaining a bill of exchange fee
331., was %%tight to the Police-office, which had been
found in as ezposed situation in St. Stephen's Chunk
Yard, in Salford, and bad evidently been deposited
there but it short time previously to its being picked
up. When the box was shown to the defendant he
caned their attention to its being in a rusty condition;
but when it was viewed no rust was anywhere to be
found tweak. At fint the defendant said he suspected
Pilling. And also a boy that had been in his employ,
but be abandoned altogether his suspicions of the
former, and on enquiry respecting the boy it was
found that he was and had been at work at Wigan.
There was another remarkable feature in the trans-
soden, the dog. which the defendant had at first
denied all knowledge of, was fonad to be a con-
stant attendant at his house from the encourage-
ment he received from the servant, and had more
then ones been the occasion of momentary differences

particular!, The _ _ _ meeting of his
creditors took plite, and 110Q111 of them, relying on
the sincerity of his statements, consented to sign a
deed of composition, with certain provisos, by which
he stipulated to pay 12s. in the pound, and which sti-
pulation he has since performed. Circumstances after
arose that induced the plaintiff more seriously to look
at the probabilities of his alleged loss. His stock in
trade, when it was valued, was found to ha won't
something under 3001., and yet at this time he had
between II and 12001. in his house in ea& It was
also observed that after the composition his stock be-
came greatly improved, and that in the following
year it was worth from a thousand to twelve hundred
rends. These singular appearances taught the
plaintiff to doubt the correctness of his assertions of
I having been plundered of this large property, and coon-
*riving that the deed of composition had been for-
feited by the non-appearance of certain conditions
contained in it. be brought this action for the sum
above stated. It was expected that the deed would at
emce bun been vitiated by certain creditors not hav-
ing signed it by a given time therein mentioned. This
objection, however, was not tenable, and its validity
in that respect fully established. It was then attacked
on the ground of fraud and misrepresentation. and
tits Jury having heard the above facts related, gave
more credit to them than the defendant's account of
trs robbery, and also a verdict to the plaintiff for the
amount he sought to recover.
This verdict, in effect, destroys the composition
lied, and will bring upon the defendant his liability
in-all his•former debts that remain noliquidated.

Fermi BOXING.—At the Lancaster Assizes, on Mon-
redirph Rayner was found guilty of killing Peter
Fisher.---The Learned Judge, in passing sentence said,
that the deceased bad certainly borne an towards
laterree, and bad actually struck him first; and, if
thad been nothing bat fair fighting, he should
have deemed a very light punishment sufficient for the
-offence, but he had, with deadly weapons (the clogs
which he bad upon his feet,) brutally kicked the de-
ceased on the breast, which bad deprived him of life.
The prisoner had said, in his defence, that he bad served
his Majesty many years, both in the army and the navy,
and that ought to him taught him what true courage
was; and that it was unmanly to take advantage of an-
other man when he was on the ground, and enable to
defend himself, and• to indict such punishment on him
as to occasion his death. He was sentenced to ten
Months imprisonment.

PILCIIIJ4I/41.—The following is an extract of a letter
from Palmeettb, Sept. 22 :—Acceunts are just received
from Pennon, that a considerable body of Pilchards
have made their appearance in Mounts Bay. Six
mans shot last evening. The fires on the hills in the
evening announced that fish were on the coast, and
some seans shot. The driving boats landed yesterday
150 hogsheads, so that some very favourable news may
be expected next post from the Westward.
Since the disappearance of pilchards on the coast of
Cornwall, vast quantities of them have visited Galway
Bay, in Ireland. lint it is in vain for nature to send
her blessings in abundance to Irish fishermen; these
ignorant people have agreed not to take any of them,
stating, that they injure their nets, and are too oily to
save well !-+-( West Briton.)

Puctiasm.—A match has been made between Sam.
Hazy of Br:stol, and W. Winterflood, of Baih, to.
take place on the lit of October, between Bath and
Bi istol.

So dense was the fog on Sunday night on the nor-
thern road, that at Finchley, Whe•rone, Barnet, &e.
the mail-guards were obliged to descend from their
stations, and walk before the coaches with the lamp% •
in their hands; and people going from, or returning
to town, in gigs, &c. found it necessary to have people
preceding them with lighted links.
About 3 o'clock on Sunday morning, as two men
rather intoxicated, were crossing Waterloo Bridge,
one of them in attempting to get over the balustrade,
for the purpose of walking on the outside, fell into the
water. Joseph Clark, one of the bath-keepers, who
sleeps on board, heard the splash; he immediately
went to his assistance, and with great difficulty drag-
ged him on board; when he bad recovereii, sad his
friend were landed on the Surtey side of the bridge.-1—•
They promised to call and recompense Clark.
Mr. F. the young man who, as stated in our Paper of
Saturday, made an attempt to destroy himself by dis.
charging a loaded pistol at his head, is still at White
Conduit-house; but so far from having the left side of
his skull carried away, lie was yesterday observed walk-
ing arm in arm in the garden, with the young woman
on whose account he committed the rash act.

liazatrvut. SUICIDI.—On Friday night a young
man, who was an entire stranger to the family, ob-
tained lodgings at the Bunch of Grapes, Ratcliffe
Highway, the next morning at nine o'clock it was re-
marked that he did not make his appearance. A per-
son was sent up stairs, when, on entering his bed ro rm,
a most frightful spectacle presented itself; he was
lying on the bed weltering in his blood, and quite
lifeless, •his head, which was nearly severed,
was hanging out of the bed, and near him lay a
bloody razor. the fatal instrument of destruction. A
person who bad slept in the same room bad left him
about seven o'clock on the same morning, at which
time he was alive, and apparently uninjured. It ap-
peared that he got the razor set at a barber's adjacent
the preceding night. The unfortunate man was about
22 years of age, fair hair and complexion, and was
dressed in a blue coat, trowsers of the same colour,,
black silk waistcoat, white cravat, white cotton stock-
ings, and shoes named in tires**, caddie heels tipped;
