THE LAWS.

In this and perhaps few succeeding
numbers propose to notice the law up
on imprisment for debt, but would have
it understood, however, that it vii, not
be attempted 10 discuss this or any 9TH
er legal subject with professional accu-
racy.
BY the law Of England which our
fathers brought with them, when any
person presented in court any legal de-
mand against another, the plaintiff OBJ
tanned writ adapted TO his peculiar
case. This writ was usually sum-
mons only; but if the plaintiff showed
by affidavit that he was in danger of
loosing his claim by tho removal of the
defendant or Of his property, writ of
capias, attachment or ne exeat was g.
| warded. Thus man who was in debt
! 20 another, or who become liable 10 ano.
Their for neglect of duty, breach of obi
CATION or tresspass could not remove be.
yond the jurisdiction of the proper tri-
buna against the will of the person
| who had the claim against him until
that claim should be adjudicated in a
court Of justice. Again, after trial in
Some cases, the courts compelled the de-
fendant pesonally to perform some act
! for the benefit of the plaintiff, or strict
lily to perform his contract according
ding to justice and equity BY doing some
act which he was bound 10 do, such fer
| instance. as the making of deed, or to
be imprisoned for contempt. But in
most suits, especially in courts Of law.
the judgement Of the cour, when render
cd against the defendant, was, that the
! plaintiff should recover round sum Of
money. In many cases such judgment
was rendered not because the defcn-
dant owed the plaintiff that amount, but
for damages sustained by the plaintiff
by reason of the neglect or trespass or
even violence of the defendant. Il is
/ important to 4 correct understanding Of
this subject, that it should be kept in
MUD that any judgment rendered by
a court for sum Of money sbecomes a
debt in contemplation of law, though
it may have been rendered for detain-
ing property found, for damage done
to the property or violence to the per
son of the plaintiff. After judgement,
the p'tf. was entitled, as matter of right,
to a writ c1pias al Satigaciendum, by
which he could efec,ualIy deprive the
defendant of his liberty during his
whole life, or until the debt be paid
In my next / propose 10 consider
briefly the consequences of this law, the
alterations which have been made and
the effects Of the alteration.

Beauty of Avon--Sdiubrity of the ,eater, &c.
My DEAR SIR
The time for the visitation of the 'Avon Springs
has now arrived, in point of time as well as wea-
Their. For few days past we have been permitted
to enjoy warm sun and balmy atmosphere, and 1t
bids fair for continuance
A few boarders have already arrived, and are
blessed with the luxury of the Avon waters,Iand the
healthful and cooling baths.
new mode has been adopted by some families
| who are here. They have come with all the para
phernalia necessary for keeping house in cottages
erected for that purpose. There are many cottages
at the Springs and in lis vicinity, that can be obtain
ed by families who should wish to sit under their own
| ''vine and fgtree." One family from Canada, whs
have adopted the latter course, are fourlshlng In
most genteel style, to their own satisfaction and
health
The landscape presents beautiful aspect to the
eye of the traveller, well as TO him who is vlsl-
ting the Springs The dark waving grass, and fields
of grain extending for miles without interruption,
save by the dashng rvulet In whose clear water the
trout sports and the swallow aves his wing! Now
cast youi1 eye west over the "valey of the Gene
see," through which rolls in grandeur that well
known nyer, the banks OF which are adorned with
trees and shrubbery, inviting the weary traveller
the seeker of repose and quietude, to lay him by,
stroll along and taste Its pleasures No one but him
who has visited the Springs, and made excursions IN
the country, appreciate the comfort and happl
ness to be derived from stop at this watering
treat To the pedestrian, the gamester and angler,
there is fine field Tor the development of his
erges and tact. For him who wishes to behold
beauty, natures beauty, in female forms, let him
come here, and to HIM il shall be realized!
w. II. G Hosmer, Esq. left this morning for the
city of New York. He has In his possession
unpublished poem, the "Yonondio." Its style is
that of he "Ladv OF the Lake." and contains that
which will be read with interest by every lover of
poetry. His description of country character of the
Aborglnes, and their battles is very beautiful and
thrilling.
The crops, on the whole ARE good as general.
Wheat in this immediate vicinity is pretty fair, but
off, in the adjoining towns, the prospect is not more
than halt a crop. Corn was pretty much cut OH by
the late frost. Other spring crops fair. LEO.
