SIR, • JOME TimeYmce, I was attacked with a violent Disorder in. my> Eacev supposed to be itb. er the King's Evil or a Cancer. ... At first 1 thought it only a trifling Eruption, and that it would > o off upon my taking a few. Doses'of Physic; but n this I was miserably disappointed ; for my Nights and Days became intolerable, from the disagreeable Effects of the violent ichorous Humour, which spread in aii alarming Manner, and rendered my Counte- nance horridly disgusting, in this deplorable State I applied to4 and had the Advice of, several Medical Gentlemen, all of whom exerted their professional Skill to no Purpose. Finding my. Complaint still increase, and; the Efforts of the Faculty ineffectual, I became low spirited, and a truly melancholy and disgusting Spectacle ; no Sleep at Night; no' Rest n" the Day ; what Medicine to try, or how to obtain. Ease, 1 knew . not. My Friends were alarnied,. and began to make luquiry among their. Acquaintance for a Remedy, At length 1 heard of, vour, far- famed PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS, & had them most strongly recommended to me by several, respectable Peisons ho had experienced their wonderful Effects. A Botile was procured from Owner Yeates, of Ihe Salt Warehouse, Ironbridge, by taking which 1 found immediate Relief; an amazing Alteration took Plane ; the violentltching ceased— the Humour disappeared ; I received the Congratulations of my Friends, and before the second Bottle was finished, I was free from either Evil or. Cancer, and as wellas ever I was in my Life. My Case being well known to man. Persons in this Neighbourhood, who have the Com- fort of their Fellow. creatures at Heait, they have quested me to send this to you, in order to its being made public for the Benefit of those who are unfortunately labouring under similar Complai, uts.

SPAIN.— At the date uf the last advices Corunna ntill held uut, hut its fall was daily expected, as- Was also that of Vigo.- Sit- Robert Wilson had left Corunna, with the intention of aiding the cause bv his presence ni C . diz. The Governor of Corunna, Quitogiij came oyer to Eugland last week, and has since departed for'. Cadiz. In fact, most of the Coil'stifuti" nalist leaders have left G'Oru'una; and Gallicia will probahfj he shortly ill the possession nf the French.— Sir Robert Wilson has been en- ' deavouring to negociate for peace with Mo;' illo, but without effect, as that General does not npcog. nis'e' Sir Robert's right of interference in tlie. affairs, of- Spain.'— The French accounts represent the; siege of Cadiz as proceedings/ without relaxation,, and tjiey also claim a series of successes over Geneial'Ballasteros, who, tliey say, has offered to negociate.— The report is current, in Spain and France, that matters will yet be finally settled through the negociation and amicable interference of England. We can assure the Public that tjiere is no foundation whatever for the statement in a Morning Paper of to- day, that the " Cabinet, at its lute sitting, came to a resolution, declining all inter- ference, as mediators or otherwise, between the bi'ligerent parties ill the Peninsula, should over- tures towards a pacification proceed from the II / fending Government." From whatever quarter such overtures may cotii^ we are persuaded that they will be equally well received by our Govern- ment. ' 1 he feelings which it entertains on the subject are still the same as were expressed in Mr. Canning's last words on the subject, previous to the breaking out of ( lie- war :—" I am commanded, in conclusion," said the Right IIou Secretary, in bis Dispatch to Sir Charles Stuart, of the 31st of March, 1823, " to direct your Excellency to declare to tlic Fiencli Minister that bis Majesty will, be, al all time » { ready lo renew the interposition of his good offices for the purpose of terminating those; hostilities which bis Majesty has so anxiously, though ineffectually, endeavoured to avert."--— Star. GREECE.— The war, on the part of the Greeks, is no longerjuecessarily defensive, though undoubt- edly a defensive system will for some time continue the most- politic. Those unacknowledged patriots, who, two years ago, did not not command a single walled town, and could not send a regularly ap- pointed regiment into the field, are now ( though with a qualification) recognised by every State in Europe, as entitled to the fights of independent - belligerents. They have a regular army of 30,000 men, aud hundreds? of thousands of irregular volun- teers, admirably qualified for war ill their broken country : and they remain undisputed masters of the Morea.

It was shown to the meeting that at one point of the road the ascent is not less than IS, inches, and on an average of the whole length of the bill inches, iii every yard ;. and thedanger and distress to animals on this line of road, along which, ' ndependeiit of the general travelling, s. i much oal. and other heavy burdens are continually drawn, was universally ackuovvledged.— After con- siderable discussion, ft was unanimously agreed by the meeting, that the best mode proposed for re- medying the evil under consideration, was that which suggested the commencement of a new formation of road from Bagley Bridge, to proceed up the Cross Street leading trom Cotton Hill into Castle Foregate, at the junction of which some buildings at the angle being removed, the road would proceed on its present course . from, Castle Fofegiite to Raveu Street, the ascent bemg- re- gularly varied up from the point of communication with the Old Heath Road to the Raven Inn.— A Committee was appointed to mature and adopt tl requisite arrangements, and the assembly separated See Advert.

The Earl of Bradford is, we. understand, an Honorary Member of the Society of Royal British Bowuitjiijj and with his usual liberality volunteered tif give ah extra meeting, to take place on bis beautiful de- mesne at Nessclitf, of which the romantic woodland scenery, and the bold and extensivelyi"<?' ® s com- manded from it, are well- known1' to nibsrp'of our readers.— The preparatory arrangements for the pproach to the archery ground* a> Well as the accommodations of every descriptioijt'nr the shooters- nd the numerous guests, wtre happily Conceived nd admirably executed. About tleve*; o'clock the company began to assemble, and soon after- wards the shooting commenced ; the ladies at two butts contested for an elegant necklace and. brace- lets, the gift of the Noblo Host. At three o'clock the company, consisting- of about 250, retired toone larger and two smaller tents in a sequestered part of the grounds, where- the cold regulation dinner, with the addition of venison in eve? y shape and a ! profusion of the finest. fruit, w » s prepared ; after which several appropriate songs we^ e sijig,* and the archers then resumed their bows, and, continued shooting till seven o'cloi- kj when Jhe ^ rize was presented by the Noble Earl, with » !|| it, grace and urbanity of manner, which so particular! v distin- guish his Lordship, to Miss Caroliija " Fletcher, who, after a severe contest, was declared tile suc- cessful candidate.

These Races were not so numerously attended on former occasions ; several unfortunate circum stances conjoined to render them unusually flat, The Stewards were unavoidably absent, Mr. Wil- mot Horton, from indisposition, and Mr. Mytton, owing to the death of his father, in- law, Mr. Gift'ard. Mr. Mytton's horses were consequently drawn, which was a great drawback 011 the sport. The recent lamented deaths of Sir John Boughey aud Mr . Kinnersly also operated in producing a feeling of sadness not in unison with the sports of the turf. Whittingtbo being drawn for the first day's plate, the other three horses would not 6tart against Sir W. Wynne's Belmont, and the latter in consequence became entitled to lOgs. allowed on such occasions. Ou the second day there was some good running. — J.

Assize Haiti iVe. at Welsh Pool. The Commission of Assize for the County of Montgomery was opened oti the 4th instant, before the lion. CHARLES \ VARREN and the Hon. SAMUEL MARSHALL, His Majesty's Justices.— The High Sheriff, D. PtSGi), Esq-, of Llanerchydol, was escorted ' from his mansion to Welsh" Pool, by a large body of tenantry and tradesmen, attended by his javelin- men, Sic.; arid the whole party partook of an elegant dinner at the Oak Inn. Mr;'. the evening the High Sheriff' gave a Ball and SupjSer to the principal in rank and fashion of this County, the preparations for which were in a liovel aud splendid style.— Tile Supper took place iu the - Butter Market; which, being purposely boarded in and the floor carpetted, exhibited, 011 viewing from the inferior, no trace of its usual appearance. - The temporary walls of this com- modious supper room were covered with white cloth, festooned with blue, and the cornices hung with yellow draperies. The ordinary stone columns of the edifice were on this occasion made to aid the ornamental parts of this splendid scene, four elliptical arches being extended from them to the walls of the room, the whole ornamented with laurel, and hung with variegated lamps ; a capital, formed of laurel and flowers, interspersed with variegated lamps, was placed at the springing of the several arches ; and a wreath of laurel and lamps was carried round the columns from the same point.— The table extended the length of the Hall, and. on the wall hehind the-. head of. it, which was circular, a Royal Crown, and 011 the right and left of the Crown ajf& tar, were formed with variegated lamps, A beautiful painting of Mr. Pugh's family crest ( a lion passant gardant, in his dexter paw a fleur- de- lis), surrounded: with variegated lamps, was placed 011 each of the side walls. A temporary music gallery, occupied by an excellent band, was formed over 11 passage made at the end of the Hall to lead to the Ball Room. The whole had an ad- mirable effect. The arrangements for the supper were made under the able direction of Mrs. White- hall, of the Oak Inn, and on the tables were dis- played every substantial refreshment and pleasing delicacy that could be wished for, while the guests formed on assemblage of beauty and fashion seldom equalled ill rank or numbers.— Previous to rising from the table, the Right Hon Col. Williams Wynn observed, ; tliat he had been at almost every public meeting in the county for the last 29 years, but hfc luster had previously witnessed so large and so re- spectable ail assemblage, nor preparations | ju such " liberal and splendid scale. The Ball took place in the spacious room over the Market Ilall, which was also fitted up and lighted in the most " elegant style. The floor'was chalked in. an admirable manner: in the centre, the Arms Of the High Sheriff; atrophy of Love at the liekd of the room; and of Music at the bottom -; the whole bordered and ornamented in a chaste and correct finishing.— Mr. Pugh ( the High Sheriff) and Lady Lucy Clive opened the Ball; at which, and at the Supper, upwards of ' 2t> 0 Gentlemen and Ladies were present, among whom were noticed— the Judges of Assize, the High Sheriff, Lord and Lajdy Luev Clive, the Right Hon. Col. Williams Wynu, M. P. Panton Corbett, Esq. M. P. and Mrs. Corbett, Colonel and Mrs. Davies, Colonel Edwards, Colonel Dallas and Family, Major Williams and Family, Major Harrison aud Family, Capt.

It would be an undeserved omission not to state, that the fltting- up of tile Supper Room, 8tc took place under the direction of Mr. E. Bostock, and that. thfi. paintiogs, chalking of the Ball Room, & c. were executed by Mr. W. Griffiths, of Shrewsbury. DAVTPOOL STATION.,— An experimental voyage has been made from this place to , Dublin, by the Mountaineer Steam Packet, which vessel left Dawppol 011 Sunday evening, the 3d instant, and reached Dublin in about 1 f11 hours, delivering her papers about 3 hours and 5 minutes sooner thai! 1 those whieh were conveyed by the more safe and certain route of Holyhead. As ihe . experiment seems to have caused much exultation oil the Ches- ter side of the country, we trust our friends on the Shrewsbury line to Holyhead wilPnot relax in their efforts to secure and improve the/ advantages w | ueh they now possess. • Capt. H. L. Ed w a ides Gwvnnc, of Rhydygors, Cardiganshire, lias reduced his rents 40 per cent. Mr. D. Price,, ofTallev, Cardiganshire ( brother of the late Coroner), has been elected Coroner for the Upper Division of that county. COURT OF CHANCERY : July 30.— Earl Gros venorandT. Eyton, t>. Jones and others.— Mr. Hart moved the Court to dissolve an injunction obtained by the plaintiff's to restrain the defendants from working certain coal- mines in the county of Flint. — The coals iti question are claimed by Lord Gros. vertor, as Lord of the Manor of Holywell, Falhrook, and Greenfield, by grant of the said manor to his Lordship's ancestor, Grey de WiltOu, in the time of James I; j and they are also claimed by Sir Thomas Hanmer, as Lord Paramount of the Lordship of Ehglefield, which includes the township of Green- field, and the waste upou which the pits and shafts are- sunk. It was contended in support of the motion, that Earl Grosvenor could not be entitled to the coals under his grant, because the manor of Holywell was granted out of the royal franchises belonging to the Princes of Wales" and Earl of Chester, as long- ago as the reign of Edward III., to the Abbot of Basiiigwerk, with a reservation implied of coals, mines,- and minerals,, on account of which ( lie mobks regularly paid a sixth of the profits of the minerals to the Crown . On the disso- ution of the monasteries;- the Crown rt'srim'ed its ownership, and tfteumnor wis again'granted oYrt to the ancestor of the Noble Earl,- in tlifsaure manner, and upon the same conditions, a- s fliose allowed to the Abbey. The minerals and c'oals,- b'eitfg in the condition of Royal liberties and franchises, would B| it.;, pass by any grant, without eSpreSs words. ThriS they did not pass, the defendants, for further proof, stated a long series of accounts, in which Sir T. Hanmer had answered to the Cfotvn for the Coals and minerals, as Lord of Euglefteld; notwithstand- ing which, his Lordship and his tenant had ejected the defendant from working a coal- mine, of which he had taken a lease from Sir Thomas Hanmer, and obtained an injunction to the same effect, which was now sought to be dissolved.— Mr. Shadwell opposed the motioiiy and supported the injunction on the ground that the township of Greenfield was within the manor of the Noble Earl, and the coals and minerals had been expressly reserved for him in an act for enclosing the waste. It was also con- tended, that the defendant had no right to com fdain, as he had taken his lease of Sir T. Hanmer, ong after the plaintiff' Eyton had taken a lease of the , saim* coal- mines of Earl Grosvenor.— The Lord Chancellor said, that Earl Grosvenor could not be entitled to hold the cials, and only account for them to himself, iu the face of direct evidence that they belonged to another manor.— The injunction was therefore dissolved, with an understanding that Sir Thomas Hanmer must be prepared to ac- count to the Court for the profits of the mines durin; the proceedings now pending to try the right. ' © amSSrian fisfetftcTjw. No. VIII. To the Edit'tr of the Salopian Journal. SIR, Of all the ancient remains of Welsh literature the Mabivogian, or JuvenileTales, may be regarded as the most curious. The origin of fictitious history has, of late years, occupied the pens of many abie writers ; aud it may be assumed, as the result of their inquiries, that this species of writing had its source iu a state of society long antecedent to that, in which civilization had its natural effect on the operations of the human intellect. Romantic fiction indeed, to speak more correctly, sprang at once from the heart, and was the offspring rather of natural feeling than of studied reflection. Hence in the'most remote ages, and in countries most widely dissevered, these sportive Sallies of the imagination have been found to prevail. But it was chiefly among the solitudes of hills, dells, and forests that the Genius of Romance loved at first to fix her abode :- here she conjured, around her, her brilliant visions, and" peopled the neighbouring ' wilds ' with a thousand fantastic creations! The wood's of America,* the Scottish highlands, and the mountains of Wales unite their testimony to the truth of this observation. And, with respect to the two latter countries, it may be mentioned, that this species of fiction was common to the Celtic nations, from w. ho( n, as has been surmised, the romances of the middle ages were originally derived. In most countries the. Goddess of Fiction wore in her infancy the garb of the Muses. In Wales alone she seems to liavk assumed a more sober attire. But 111 this respect the early literature of theCymry differs; apparently; from that of all other nations: their poetry is history, and their prose is romance. For this reason it is that the ancient bards have ever been consulted as the faithful chroniclers of then- times, while snch early works, as have assumed the name of " histories," are, for the most part, the mere vehicles of the wildest inventions - ftoheof the writers; by w- horii the subject of romnritic fifctioil has been examined, appear to have been aware of this peculiarity ; and few have known of the exist- ence of those ancient tales, which have descended to us under the nhme of Mabivogian, although, in the various features peculiar to this species of com- position, they may vie with most otlier*, that have acquired a well- merited popularity. As some notice of these curious remains may be interesting to your readers, I shall devote the remainder of this SKETCH to, a general account of them, and for which, I should state; lam principally indebted to a valuable note 011 the subject by Dr. Owen Pughe, inserted in Mr. Gunn's late edition Of Hennius; The Mabinogion, which htfve- also been denomi- nated Ysloriau, aiid Hen Ystoreum, ( Stories, and Old Stories;) exist chiefly in old - manuscripts.. A few also'are traditionally preserved in the memory of tilt country. They inlay be divided, at least those that are retained in writing, into two classes : 1. Such as precede the time of Arthur : 2. Those that are connected with ihe history df ' that chieftain; The first class comprises the following tales : . 1. Ymarumr I. ludd a-. Llevelys. The Contest of Lludd and Llevellys. 2. Breuddwifd Maten IVledig. The Drcaifl of the Einperor Maxiinus. 3. ll'dn Vendiged. Brail the, Blessed. 4. Picyll Pehdevig Dyved. f\ vyll the Chieftain OfDyved. . 5. Manauiydan db Llyr, Manawydan the Son of Llyr. 6. Math ab AJaihoniiiy. Math the'Son Of Math- onwy. , In the second class are— 1. Peredur ab Evtog. Peredur the Son of Evrog. 2. Culhwch ab Cithydd, Celyddon IVledig. Cul- hwcli the Son of Cilhvdd, Sovereign of Caledonia. 3. Geraint ab Erbin. Geraint the Son of Erbin. 4. Owain ab Vrienr Owain the Son of Urlen. A synopsis of one of these tales will serve to elucidate the general character of the Mabinngion, and by which, it will be seen, that, however romantic the superstructure, it is reared upon an historical foundation. The tale I shall select is that of ," Bran the Blessed" in Jbe first class.— Matholwch, chief sovereign of Ireland, lands with a fleet at Harlech, in North. YVsles, where Bran keeps his court, to demand Bronwen, the sister of the latter, in marriage. The. request is, granted, and Matholwch returns to Ireland. Various inci- dents occur after this, and, among them, is a box 011 the. ear, given, to B. ronweu by her husband, aud which is recorded in the Triads as one , of the three " fatal slaps of Britain." f • In consequence of this, Br& n invades Ireland, for the purpose of avenging the insult offered to his sister. Seven only returned from this expedition, after having witnessed the destruction of almost all the population of Ireland ; and among them is Br& n, wlio, howeveiyis mortally wounded. Just before bis death he desires his companions to carry his head to London, and to cause it to be interred in the White Hill, as a pro- tection front all invasions in future. The sequel of the tale recites the progress of the party to London io bury Bran's head. At Harlech, in" their way, they are detained seven years listening to the birds of Rhiarton ; and iu Dyved, in South Wales, in compliance with the last words of Briin, they remain in a spacious hall for eighty years, in the enjoyment of all kinds of pleasure, and in a happy obiivion of all their misfortunes as well as of tlie particular object of their present'pilgrimage. However, upon opening a door, which afl'ords a view of Cornwall, their real condition suddenly, bursts on their minds, and they procred ou their journey to obey the injunctions of their deceased sovereign.— Such is the outline of this most marvellous tale. With respect to Bran, it is scarcely necessary to add, that he was a real personage. He was the father of the celebrated Caradog, or Caractacus, whom, according to the Triads, lie accompanied to Rome, where he remained seven years as Hostage for his son ; and being,, on this occasion, converted to Christianity, he Was, as the Triads farther relate, the means of introducing it into this island, on which account he is commemorated as one of the three hallowed princes of Britain." J " With respect to the periods, when these tales were composed," says Dr. Piiglre, irit would be dilficiilt to speak positively ; hot I have no hesi- tation in concluding them to be all anterior to the conquest of Wales in 1' 282. All the personages therein were real characters, most of whom are often mentioned by the'earlier bards, and many the Historical Triads. Many of the events in the Tales are likewise to be found in the Triads Taliesin, who flourished in the sixth century, alludes to several of the incidents in these tales; so also do the poets, who wiote in the twelfth am. thirteenth centuries." I have only to add to the foregoing account of the Welsh Juvenile Tales, that, the gentleman, whom 1 have just quoted,, ( and of whom if may so truly be said, with respect to his proficiency in his native language and literature, " non vigetquicquain simile aul- secundum,") has, for some time, been preparing for the press ai English translation of these curious relics, which cannot fail to he regarded as a valuable accession to the general literature of the country. Most of the originals, it may lie as Well to mention, are to be found in the Hengwrt Library, and in the " Red Book of Hergest." at Jesus ( Joilege, Oxford, aswell, jerhaps, as 111 some other collections. And it may le, that there are other tales iu existence besides those I have above enumerated. OUDOVEX.

A General Meeting of the Members of the Norwich Union Life Insurance Society was held at the Office in this City, on the 28th July, and was numerously and respectably attended. The Presi- dent of the Society, Mr. Alderman Patteson,, took the chair, and having shortly stated the object of the Meeting, viz. to declare a Bonus on the Sums Insured by the Members, called upon the Secretary, to read the Auditors* Report, from which it ap- peared that the Assets of the Institution, at the » 6th March last, exceeded half a million, advan- tageously invested, and that the income had trebled within seven years, and amounted to upwards of £ 130,00( 1 per annum. The Actuary the. p read hi. Report and an Abstract of the result of his Calcu lations; in the former he adverted to the Advan tage derived by the Members from the reduction of rates ( of which this office set the first example) and which is in effect an annual bonus to the insured, and by the statement of assets, and engagements shewed, that in addition to an Annuity Fund of above £ 106,000, and a protecting Life Department Capital of about £ 250,000, the Society possessed a disposable surplus of upwards of £ 145,000, which would allow a bonus of. 24 percent, on all premiums deposited previous to July, 1822, besides largely augmenting the Reserve Fund. The Chairman afterwards addressed the meeting, and stated, that he had himself hiade a computation of the profits which would probably arise on the insurances, and felt satisfied that at the close of the existing con tracts, a surplus of many hundred thousand pound would be found to have arisen. The Members expressed great sat- sfaction at these statements and passed several resolutions, which will be fount amongst our advertisements.— The cordial thanks of the meeting were then voted tb the worthy President, and the meeting dissolved.— Norfolk Chronicle. - Our school readers will he glad to fee informed, that Mr. Guy, the popular author of ihe " School Geography," " New British Spelling Book, & c." has just published an introductory treatise on Arithmetic called " Guy's Tutor's Assistant The outlines of Mr. Guy's plan are nearly similar to those of Walkingame; but he has been much more precise in his definitions, clear in his rules and select in his questions, than any of his pr< decessors. He has also introduced a very great improvement, that of exhibiting one sum worked at iength, for each series of questions, under every rule. Mr. Guy's work is published at the low price of two shillings; and wedottbt not that his peculiar knowledge of school teaching has enabled him to bring forward a work that will be as useful and popular as any of his preceding publications.

Th6 Commission of Assize was opened at Mo^- MOCTH on Tuesday, and on Wednesday their Lordships proceeded to business j Mr. Justice. PARK presiding at the Crown Bar. The calendar contained the names of six prisoners for the county and one for the borough. As soon as the learned Judge had finished his Charge, Mr. Crosfc moved, that t'Vm, Knighty an accomplice of Da- hid Jenkins,- charged on suspicTdn ot' having1 stolen1 a: paper parcel, containing Viirious bilFs &' u< J notes,' directed to Messrs. Jones and Co. bankers, Abergavenny,' might be admitted to give evidence for the prose- cution, whiclmvas ordered accordingly,. No true bill was: found against the prisoner, on this, charge, but he [ was detained on a cliarge made against hijiv by the said Knight, of stealing. his ( knight^)- box- coat. On this charge he was convicted, and sen- tenced to seven years'transportation. Margaret ( the wife of Wm.) ^ kinner, charged by Mrs. Ann Quick, of Chepstow, on suspicion of having stolen four pound- notes of the Chepstow Bank, and one sovereign, in the dwelling- house of the prosecutor, was found guilty, and sentence of deain was recorded against her. Wm. Parsons^ aged 15, charged with stealing four bank notes of 3! s. each, and one bailk- note? of 21s.? the property of William . lames, in his dwell- ing- house, was also found guilty, and sejitence of death recorded against him. Jus. Reddii: gt aged 26, charged with wilfully,, maliciously, and unlawfully stabbing or cutting Thomas Munkley, with intent to murder, inaini, disfigure, or disable him, or with intent to do him some other grievous bodily harm, was found not guilty. There was no hill returned against FJias Jones, charged on suspicion of having stolen a quantity of tea) nor against' ' Charles Saunders, accused of horse- stealing, who was committed on the 27th of May for further examination, and fully committed on the 30th of July ! On the case of Saunders, Mr. Justice PARK, in his previous. Charge to the Grand Jury, said, " You are here assembled as a Grand Jury, though many of you are Magistrates, and through you I must address what I am about to say to Magistrates in general. There has been a great irregularity in the commitment of the man in the Borough g- aol charg- ed with horse- stealing. It is the duty of those who administer justice, never to neglect the petitions of the poor; and I received a letter, purporting to be signed by this prisoiier, stating, and complaining, that he had been committed on the 27th of May last for further examination, and that he never had been further examined y and that he never had been up to that time ( the 25th July), committed for trial! I took for granted it was like many of t'; ose letters which persons in my situation' often receive j but wheii the calendar was pre- sented to me on Tuesday morning, at Hereford, I then found he was, on tiie, 30th Julycommitted for trial— a period of two calendar months and three days after lie was first examined ! I received from a Magistrate of the Borough, this morning, an account of various, proceedings, and probably satis- factory reasons could be given for this delay ; and it is not to find fault with this, that I mention it. 1 do it as a matter of caution to all Magistrates, and to state what I conceive to be the law on the sub- ject. That a Magistrate may commit for further exaOiiuation, there can be no doubt, because it is not always that the witnesses can be brought forward in the first instance, or the matter may not be ripe for trial ; but the further and absolute commitment must be in a reasonable time. What is reasonable time is a mixed question of law and fact, which : hose who are to exercise a judgment upon it must decide at the time ; bur, general- ly speaking, aud without exception almost, two whole months cannot be a reasonable time. . A Magistrate ought as speedily as possible to m? ike all enquiry. I state that, with the greatest confi- dence, because I can state it on the authority of the Twelve, Judges of England.; for a case wa, s sub- mitted to us about two years ago, by his Majesty's command, on that point and the Judges were'of opiuion that a reasonable time was all that could he done with a further commitment ; and they were of opinion, ill that case, that there was oiily a reason- able time, or the man would have been acquitted. It is distressing to see in the calendar of so respect- able a county a commitment of this description— that a man was committed on the-' 27th of May, 1823, for further examination, and was not further examined until the 30th of July following !" • Oliver Abrahamy charged by information filed" by his Majesty^ Attorney- General, vyith assaulting and obstructing John Thoiims, an Officer of Excise, in the due execution of his office, was tried, at Nisi Prius, and found guilty . On Saturday, the Commission was opened at GLOUCESTER, where there were 45 prisoners for trial. JPKE, 1823. JAS. ANDERTON, Secretary NORWICH UNION FIRE INSURANCE SOCIETY, .

Al the late Hereford Assizes a criminal informa- tion was tried against Edward Bevan, Esq. a istrate of that county, charging him with hav- Mag ing, on the 29th of August last, unlawfully and oppressively committed one^ Probate to custody, sufficient hail having been offered, and afterwards ordered him to be committed to a loathsome and unwholesome dungeon, where, he was detained for some time. Another coiL. t charged, that on the 30th of August he again confined him, and on the 3d of September committed one John Bolton. The charge was clearly proved, and no defence was made, the defendant's counsel reserving topics of mitigation until the case came before the Court of King's Bench.— Verdict, Guilty. SOMERSET ASSIZES.— Edt/ chill V. Maine.— This was an action for seduction and breach; of promise of marriage.— The plaintiff aged 2^,' is daughter of the landlord ot the Queen's Head, Glastonbury, and the defendant, aged 50, a farmer and cattle- dealer of the saune place — There had been a courtship of nine years and the case on the part ofthe plaintiff was such that the Jury returned a verdict for plaintiff— Damages £ 500. At the same Assizesy samiiel Voke was indicted under Lord Ellenborough's Act for maliciously shooting at Thomas Pearce, with intent to murder. The prisoner was a decent looking. young man, of about 23 years of age ; and in consequence of a dispute with Pearce, who is a gamekeeper to Lord Glastonbury, shot at him from; behind a hedge', which knocked out several of his teeth, entirely deprived him of the sight of one efe, and with sfr6at difficulty he got home. Th£ facts were distinctly proved, and. the jury without hesitation. returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned Judge ( Burrough) immediately proceeded to pass on him the awful sentence of death, assuring him t. h, at he must nor entertain any hopes of mercy in this world. The prisoner is the son of a respectable farmer, and behaved throughout the trial as became one in his Unhappy situation. • EXECUTIONS— The awful sentence of the law was on Tuesday inflicted upon lohn Radford alias Bright, for the. murder of Sarah Down, at East Worlington, Devon. Same day, Jonathan Cooke, convicted at Salis- bury Assizes of a rape, was executed , at Fisherton, amid an immense concourse of spectators. , At Berwick Gaol Delivery, after a long trial, Grace Griffin, wife ofthe late John Griffin, publican, in Berwick, was capitally convicted of the murder of her husband, and executed last week. At Maidstone, William. Donnlf. an alias Donal. lt/, was found guilty of the, wilful mutder of Bridget, his wife, at Chatham, on the 19th of September, 1818, by drowning her in a well, and sentenced to execution on Monday hist. DOWNSHIHE ASSIZES: July 28.— Singular Trial for Murder.— Patrick M'Cann, otherwise Ber- nard M'Cann; otherwise James Hughes, was intlicted for the murder of Owen M'A'lam, near Ushnrn, on the 26th of July, 1813; and althouoh nearly ten years liad elapsed, and he had left that paitof the country, and bad settled and prospered, under another name, as a butcher iu the town of Galway, he was acci- dentally recognised, brought to justice, and at these assizes convicted of the aforesaid murder.— Ml Adam, it seems, wasa. horse- dea'er, with whom the pnsonej; had been drinking on the day on which the former lost his life ;. and, tempted hy the money in his pos- session, he murdered and threw him into the canal. The evidence was circumstantial, hut conclusive. Although wo long a time had passed, the horse and watch of the deceased were traced to the hands of the pi isoner.— The unfortunate culprit, who hud escaped the punishment d. ue ti his crime for so long; a period, and who had in the interim married a respectably wife ill Gal way, maintained for the last ten years an unexceptionable character, had a family of " five, children, and also an independence not often found in that rank of, Ijfe. He was supposed to, be worth at least yt 1; 500 <> f capital, and had 23 acres of land, nearly ren^- free for ever.— Before his execution lie acknowledged his guilt; and stated that quarrelling had brought him to his untimely end. HORSE- STEAMERS.— Tlirc6 of these gentlemen .. ere last weekcapitally convictWilit Warwick, viz. James Moun^' ey and John Mossley,' for stealing a grey gelding at Osmaston, Derbyshire; and \ Vu » , Mil'lingtonrfor stealing a black cart tiiare atSuttoii Cold field. At Meaih Assizes, Ireland, five i" n<,' n were found guilty of robbing tiie DfcVry Alark and of murdering one of t he Guards of the coach . Two others pleaded guilty of the robbery of the Belfast Mail and otie mau, charged with tli6 same ofi'^ ncd, died » u gaol two days previous to the Assizes. By these cbn- vict? ons, the county has ^ ot fid of this notorious baVditti, whose nocturnal depredafiohs and daring- outrages had made fli£ m the t6( lror of the neigh- boMrhob'd. _ . . DERBY.— Kivtj, on the prosecution of Cop% e v. S? i/ itk.— Tins case, VvJiicb occupied the Court and a SpecfsiJ JurV four hours, was an indict- ment for libel bi; ougfit by James ^ tamp Sutton Cooke, against Mr^ mith,- the publisher < » f The Pot- lertf Gazette and Netafostle- under- Lyme Express, of which Mr. / hriphleft is proprietor. Justification? of the several libels, were pleaded ; aud after the publication had heeii. proved, the justifications Were ill. most parfs estabIished. Mr. Sergeant Vauohah ^ ves for, the defendant, and succeeded in justifying- most of the counts laid. It came out that the plaintiff Inid defrauded tradesmen, inveigled the unwary ifito play, aud stripped ihehr of their money; and that he was in all respects the aetiutl Chevalier d'lndustrie represented ? n < h<| libels. He had been at Marlborouoh- street, & c ami, to com- plete fhe. cliinax^ liact been tried at the OldJiailey far bigamy, and sentenced to transportation. The de- fendant failed i » i life justification of one or two of the matters contained in the libels, by which failure the plaintiff wits entitled to the verdict he obtained. Mr Baroh Harrow said, this was a case which hardly required him to say a word. The plaintiff seeks to recover a compensation in damaiges for ihe injury done to his fair name and character, by the publication of a malignant libel concerning him ; and the defendant says, " True it is, f have published the paper ; hitt it is not a libel, because you have deserv- ed it all/ 1 f^ ow, if the justifications upon the reCor< l are proved, he is not entitled to a verdict; but if they are not, the plaintiff is entitled to such damages as you may think proper. If a part of the libels are proved and a part are not proved, you must find for the plaintiff, for such as are not justified, and for the defendant for those that are. If the plaintiff has really a right to complaio of an iujury done to hig character, you will have to consider what damages yon will give him. I know of no current coin of the realm of less value than a farthing ; and if you were to ask me my advice on the subject of dailta^ es^ and we were to consult together, we should posiblyJoin in the lamentation that there was not a less coin. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff with One Farthing damages on ihose libels which had not been justified, and a verdict for the defendant on those that had. There were two or three points of law re- served, on variations, between the libel's and the man- ner in which they Were set forth on the record. " Cooke v. AmphlettThis was another indictment similar to the last, of the same j> arty, but the plain- tiff was so perfectly, satisfied with the result of the former, that he consented to hayfe ihti same verjdict recorded. At Norwich Sessions, 2V. Collins an'd Thomas Crowe, for having stolen, out of Lakeiiham Church- yard, the body of Thomas Brundall, were sentenced tti three months' imprisonment each, and to pay a fine of £ 50. IMPORTANT DECISION TO PARISHES.— An . appeal was tried at Shaftesbury Session against the [-• allowance of so much of thetaccounts of Richard ' Sh'ftler and Joseph James, lat « - dverseers of the poor of the parish of Hazelbury Brian, as related to certain payments therein alleged to have been made to poor labouring n'ien of that parish, who wete designated as being stemmeiii and paid the whole of their Wages from the poor- stock, thereby making it appear, on the face ot the accounts, . that they were paupers, whereas in fact they performed their daily labour for such alleged payments.— This mode of paying labourers out of the }> oor- rales, ( in addition to the stigma upon the, la- bourers) of course pressed heavily upon the Rev. Henry Walter, the appellant, who, as rector, was assessed at one- niiith part of the whole rates of the parish, inasmuch, as he did not require an> pioportion of such hibouiers. It pressed equally hard upon the small farmer aud shopkeeper, who could have no employment for atiy such labourers.— After the apr peal had been gone though*. the Chairman expres- sed the unaidrtitoiis opihion, of the Court by disallow- ing the accounts in iregard to such payment. v, with costs; adding; that although he approved of the stein system, so far as the occasionally sending men out of employ to farmers in rotation, to be paid their wages by. sticlv farmers, vet he strongly condemned the principle, as illegal and unjust, of paying such labourers out of the poor's rate. SHFRLFTS' COURT, HERTFORDSHIRE, JULY 12.— Priot V. ' Tlie plaintiff is a brewer al Baldock, iu Hertfordshire, in extensive husin ss; and the defendant, is a medical practitioner^ iu the same town. This action , was brought to recover damages' from ihe defendant for saving, on repeated occasions, that the plaintiff had used drugs, and'par- ticularly' tobacco, in manufacturing his heeVthat he, the defendant, had analysed tiie plaintiff's Ueer, and had iu a phial p. oved that tobacco was used in the composition thereof. This lie repeated on many occasions, with a strong asseveration, saying, that he wished God might nefer permit him to take his band from, the table on which he laid it, if what lie said was not true. This was the substance of the declaration. The defendant pleaded the general issue, and suffered judgment to go by default,, and now came into Court without either counsel or at- torue\.— The plaintiff's operating brewer proved the words set out in the declaration to have been repeat, e'dly uttered by . the defendant. He declared most solemnly, that having been iu the plaintiff's employ- ment for tweniy years,, he could safely, state that nothing was made use of in his brewery hut malt, hops, and yeast.— Several alehouse keepers , also proved ' the words stated in the declaration. It was stated that persons who. lived at a distance from Buldock had ceased to take beer of the. plaintiff in consequence of these reports. One witness, a pub- lican at Hejtford, who dealt with the plaintiff, said he was frequently addressed by his. customers with these expressions : u Come let us have some of your real Sh'ag b « * er.''- This witness stated, that before this slander he used to deal with the plaintiff for beer to the amount . of. 3 or 4* 400 a, year, but for the last three months he had liad no beer of him This was the pliuntiff's case';. The Uuiter Sheriff summed up the evidence for the Jury, « ' ho retired, and brought in a Verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, Four Hundred Pounds. FRATRICIDE— An inquest was held on Mon- day, at Rysltp, near Uxbridge, on the body of a young man named William Aldridge, who was mur- dered by his brother, George Aldridge.— M'r/ Bar- row Slade, surgeon, o. f| Jxbridge, was called on : he found ihe. deceased lying oy the bed with a gre'at part of the intestines protruding; on further examination he found a portion of the intestinal canal twice com. pletely divided, and ihe poor man died on Friday morning. The deceased and his brother were mow- ing together in afrdd, when the latter, in consequence of some words they had, aimed a blow al the deceased two or three times with tbe scythe, which struck dtim in Hie side ; deceased said, " You have ruined ine for ev » ' r," and instantly dropped his scythe and C » H » $ away, walking to the house will, his eutmi s partly out, the brother still kept mowing the ground until he finished it, but in his passion he chopped his scythe into a tree. George Aldridge was then taken into • custody. — Tlie jury returned a verdict of kt f'-' ilfnl Murder against the brother, George Aldridge," who was committed to Newgate. BURGLARY AT LAMBETH PALA'F,.— OA Friday information was given at Union Hall of a burglary committed, early that morning, in the above Palace. The. Archbishop and family are out of town. On Friday morning tbe sweeps came to clean the hall- chimney, when the porter dis- covered a ladder placed against the lobby- vvindo. v, which was wide open, and, on further search, ihoy found a small crow- bar hanging on a branch : of a tree near the ladder ; the porter got in at tiie window, and discovered that sixteen locks were picked, and the contents stolen, Tbe villains next broke into the dining room, where they appear lo have met with little property; but considerable damage was done lo the furniture. Their next visit was to his Grace's study, to get to which they had to break open two strong doors, and about fifty drawers and e. abi-. iets wore completely demolished. The books were spread about, and a beautiful satin- wood cabinet' was nearly dashed to atoms. The amount of the plunder, of course, cannot yet be ascertained. It is beyond a doubt the robbers are persons well acquainted with the structure; and it is ascertained that the parties weve partly disappointed in their booty, as the plate had all been reh^ o. ved to a place of safety previous to. the family going out of town, gljjrepstfjto ® ttmmcr. liesije. LLANBLSXJLXO PROIPEBTY. Fairclaim den,. Jrnies v. Harrison and another. 1 - Mr. Benjamin Juries,( lie plaintiff in this important case, is a linker r< siding in London., jahii ilie defend- niii, Major Harrison, a gentleman ol properly for- meily resident at' Montgomery, Ion latterly at Llaiidisilio Hail, in Ille cb'uiily' of Denbigh. Ou November 30th, 1820, the late Thomas Jones, Esq. of Lnnidisilio Hull, ilied intestate, leaving a very large estate,, to which bis heir- at- law is entitled. On his death the defendant, who Is acknowledged lo he tbe ueiiiest relative' descended through the female line, took possession of the property ; and to recover such possession from him the plaintiff, who claims to be descended in the nlale line, instituted proceedings, and a trial took place al our Spring Assizes last year, on w hich' occasion a verdict was given for tlie'delendaut. Tbe plaintiff, not satisfied with that verdict,- and having, sis be said, obtained some further Inhumation, aguill instituted proceed- ings, and the cause came_ on for trial at nine o'clock in" lie morning of Saturday in tbe Assize week, and did not conclude uuiil a tew minutes before four on Snn- iay morning. The case was opened by Mr. RICHAUDS, and slated by Mr. POLLF. R, who, after noticing Mr. Jones's dying intestate, said, that by that circumstance bis estates would descend to the nearest male issue of Evan and Ellen Jones, of LUtn lothian, in the parish of Llanfair, the common ancestor of the intestate, tbe plaintiff, and Ibe defendant', ' i'fie plaintiff claimed as being descended from David, life third surviving son of Ibe said Evan and F. llni ; and lie apprehended Ihe question would be. whether the David Jones who was grandfather father died, which v* ill be three- years nest April; after his death,] went to sea again ; J came home when I was paid off from Ihe Ajnx', 74, about 5 years go; l. cnme from Ireland here now; I belong to a hmp of war; I have been stationed there ( Ireland) wo years; Captain Simpson is lily commanding, - ffice'r. The plaintiff cc. iue to me at Cork about ; weeks ago; I saw him nfroitt three years ago before. My father gave me a book about five or six years ago; lie was a baker by trade, hut bought hinrselfinto the fellowship of porters. The reason of bis giving me Ibe hook was, 1 bud been at church ; w het! I came home, be asked me w bat tbe text was, 1 told iiim, &. be gave me a bible, & said it was a book tliiit belonged to my mother— to her family [ Book produced]; this is the book lie gave me. 1 have bad it in my possession ever since lie gave it me ; lie fold ill" tbe family mimes were iu it, and 1 read it myself. This book is in the same state as when iny father gave it me; no alterations have been made ill it since ; ihe writing is the same now ns it was then; it has been to sea with me; I delivered It to Benjamin Jones, al Cork, about six Weeks ago. Cross- examined.— 1 went to sea when nine years old; I went in a merchantman, tbe Amelia, as cabin boy, commanded by Capt. Walker, lo Jamaica. I was doino- porter's work in London, three or four years ago" after I was paid off from the Ajnx. I have been a sea. faring person ever since 1 was nine years old; my uncle ' Richard was not dead when I In ibe plaintiff was the same David Jones as David Ibe son of Evan nod Ellen, for, if be was, he would then he undoubted! v entitled lo recover the property in question. The '' teamed Counsel then alluded lo the former trial, and said that what he proved at that lime was, that bis client was descended from a David Jones, who was brought up lo nnd carried on the trade of a coacbmaker; hut tbe defendant, who, being in possession of a document of which bis client could h; ne no idea, namely, nu Indenture of Appren- ticeship belonging lo Daviit Jones, proved thereby that Ire was " bound apprentice to a soapboiler at Bristol. However, out of ibe weakness of the former cause would aiise great part of tbe strength of his present one; and he should prove that the David Jones who was apprentice to a soapboiler at Bristol, was afterwards a coiicbiliuker at Shrewsbury, mid again'became a soapboiler at Burnet. He then read an extract from ibe will of Evnn Jones, of Xlaiilotbian, from which it appeared that Evan left' nve sons, Thomas, the eldest ( from whom the intes- tate was descended), nod four younger ones, namely, Morgan, David, Viiugban, and Evan; also one daughter, Hester, from whom Ihe defendant deduced his descent. Morgan died without issue; therefore the descendants of David would he the undoubted heirs lo the property, and the clue given by the defendant on me former trial bud enabled the plain- tiff to strengthen bis case, and lo shew, In- trusted, lo the satisfaction of the Jury, that David Jones tbe soapboiler and David Jones liie conchmaker were one and Ihe stiuie person, lie then gave ibem a general on- line of the nature of tbe evidence be should bring before Ibem, and expressed bis confidence in obtain- ing a verdict al their hands.

Mary Short ( aged 55).— I was acquainted with Richard Jones and bis wife ; our " acquaintance com inclined about 19 years ago; they then resided at Southampton Mews; we were opposite neighbours for seven years; they kept their wedding day, and I have dined with them on tliose occasions. 1 have heard him say his cousin was brought up a Coun- sellor, but never followed the profession that he beard of; tl. at be resided near Llangollen, in tbe direction of Lord Pagel's seat; that if he ( Richard) lived long enough, be should expect plenty for himself and family. I have beard him say his father was apprentice to a soap- boiler, but unfortunate like hiihself, and that lie bad also been a coachmaker or wheeler. I ' recollect the talk of this relation coming lo London ; I saw a gentleman there, and he shook hands with him in my presence, and 1 walked out of the room ; tbev told me il was their cousin ; he was a respectable looking gentleman; Richard Jones told me that lhat person had given him five guineas, and his children a guinea a- piece ; that lie was lijs cousin, and lived in a miser; . that be was never married, and be Imped be would continue so, as il would be better for him ; he said be was bis first cousin, and he should send one of bis children lo him into North Wales; tbe children did not go, lint I have heard them fall out with each oilier which should go. This was in the summer, about 15 or 16 years ago. In her cross- examination, she said— I have been acquainted wilh the family until the last two years ; 1 live in Basing Lane; for'the last two years, Mr. Jones and ourselves have j). ot. Uee. n altogether friends; Mrs. Joues first applied to me to know if I had any objection to relate what 1 knew ; Ibis was in March last; I never talked to Anna Maria Sophia Jones ou tbe subject; we have never been friends; this I swear. The servant ( Andrews) asked me, the other day, if I had ever heard Richard Joues name bis fiiiiier being a soapboiler, and 1 said I had ; Anna Maria was present when the gentleman came there ; I have not lalked lo Iter upon tbe subject. Richard . ones told me his father was apprentice to a soap- boiler ; I believe he also said to a wheeler or wheel wright. My husband was at variance with plaintiff he did, however, come down into Wales with him, ' tit not within these two years: it was two years last February. I have beard Richard talk about tbe £ 5, because I laid out tbe money; it is above 12 ars ago that 1 heard of bis having been a soap- boiler ; 1 was desired to come down aud speak what knew nf the family; the talk was us I beard il from Richard ; I never spoke ten words lo plaintiff ou the subject. Fanny Andrews ( aged 63).— I lived with Richard ... "... c ii.,: t, l;„, v- u., 11, i... j had not Seen him since I left the family ; a friend of mine, Mr. Turner, tbe coacbmaker, who had worked for Jones, found me out.— On her re- examination, she said, 1 cannot read or write mSSfHi David Jones always remained at the house with me. John Langford ( aged 52).— I was examined here before; I knew Mr. Jones, of Llandisilio; I have known liini since I was a boy; 1 am a gardener; 1 am related lo Dr. Langford, of Eton College; my father and Dr. Langford's father were two brothers ;. my lather and mother lived at Llangollen; I was born a clubfooted gentleman; I was seven. years before I could clear the ground, like a frog upon the ford. I applied to Mr. Jones, of Llandisilto Hall, for money, about 15 or 18 years ago; a clerk at Llangollen wrote me a petition, lo go ' among mv friends, and I shewed tbe paper to tbe ' Squire, 1 asked liini for a Utile charity to carry me lo my cousin at Eton. I went there, thinking my cousin would give me a little relief to maintain., tl). e, old people; ihe ' Squire grumbled at me, and said he had been at London, along wilh an uncle, who'wns poorer than him, and he said he gave him £ 5, and a guinea for every child he saw ; ihe'Squire said bis relation was a coacldiiaker; and that lie had faited in trade twice ; he gave me 3shillings. I have heard my mother say ' Squire Jones's mother and my mother were second cousins ill the female line; he called my mother " Poor Cousin Langford," My mother lias spoken of David Joues: I have heard her tell me Da v id Jones was son to Evan Jones, of Lbinlotbian, and that lie went apprentice to ; » soap- boiler at Bristol; after lie was apprentice, . lie came, to Llandisilio, and made home there with Thomas Jones, the grandfather of the'Squire; Thomas Jones ( son of David) was rather uneasy, and wantedto put him in business in the neighbourhood, and lie did not like to go, he did not like tbe country1; my mother told me lhat he told bis mother he would go to see bis old master in Bristol, and wanted bis indentures to seek for work ; that David Jones had went lo bis old master, and sent for bis indentures from Llandisilio, nnd his brother wrote to him a letter saying if he would come hack be should have bis indentures, for he was afraid as . bow be would list for a soldier, as he was a wild young man. My other told me thai David Jones was affronted very much at his brother, and they did hear nothing from him for a long lime; my mother said he was coacbiiiaker, to tbe best of my knowledge, in this here town; my mother has been dead these twenty years; she used to go to Mr. Jones's; she Went oflener while bis mother was living. Cross- examined.— I did not call on Ihe ' Squire unless I bad business. Witness was here questioned as to the number of times lie bad called on tin ' Squire, and replied be could not tell ; on tbe Conn sel saying be must tell, lie replied " Must I tell you — must 1 tell a lie ? I'm a poor fellow ; the ' Squire would talk. to me on Ihe road if be found me, but if there was another with him, he would pass me like another strange gentleman." He told me tliey were the nearest relations be bad living ; his sister Was living at Oswestry. When the'Squire died I went there ; there was a meeting of every relation that could be found to give an account of tile relations ; 1 seed tbe Rev. Edward Beaus; I asked him if be would be so kind as shew me the Registers, and be did not; my wife did afterwards, and he did nut; J never said' to liitn I claimed the estate; an old woman went along witli me. In reply to a question about giving notice to tbe tenants not to pay rent, witness said, I gol a letter from the laird lord of the Cross Keys; lie- gave il me fo shew tbe letter to tbe tenants;'! shewed it to tbe landlady of ibe King's Head, but I told, her nothing, I knew all I have told you when 1 was here before. I told Mr. Neale all this, and he told me it was of no use ; 1 believe he stopped me, that it. was of no'- use at all; lie said my mother's talk would not do; nobody wrole it down for me, but I got my mother's remembrance in my bead ; they said nothing about Jlorgan ; I never heard of him, nor of Vaughan, nor Evan. I have never been obliged to leave the county on any charge; I have robbed my own garden often ; I was in gaol for stealing bark, and stood trial, and wmi tbe caused aud sold tbe bark after to a tanner at Ruthin. Mr. Henry Neale- cross- exatnined.— I have beard what the last witness said. I remember him coming 1( 1 me, and saying be knew a great deal about the Llandisilio family, what, his, mother bad told him, I slopped him immediately, and said what bis mother said could be of no use to nip,; 1 wanted to know what he knew himself. , . Mr. -, a clerk in tbe office of Christ': Benjamin Roberts ( aged 32).— I lived with my father al Tyu- y- bis, near Llangollen. When 1 was 9 or 10 years old, one rainy day, ' Squire Jones, of Llandisilio, Came to my mother's cottage for shelter ; he asked, bow many* children she'bad, and she said nine ;. he jisked their names, and oil her telling him my name, be said, " I have, a relation named Benja- min,*"' aud gave me some copper; lie gave none lo ihe others. I saw him after this, and be gave liie some eopger several times. Elizabeth Roberts, mother of the last witness, cor- roboraivd bis testimony. Edward Pope ( aged 69). r- rl am a farmer; I kllew the late Mr. Joues, of Llaudisilio, more than 60 years ; I have been in his parlour drinking a jug of ale with the ' Squire, and he has. talked about his elations ; he said the . nearest relation be bud was n London; there yvere three fatherless and mother- less, children in London,. and they were the nearest relation's be had.— Cross- examined,'. This was above 10 years ago ; 1 can't say but - Jiis sister was alive; 1 knew her ; I have no doubt she was aliv. e ; I have farm of my own of about £ 60 ii year; I have drank le w ith Mr: Jones in his parlour often. Ann Jackson ( aged 57)- — 1 lived as Miss- Jones's-, milid 28 years, 25 of which were at Llandisilio llnll; Miss Jones left her brother, on account of a difference tbe v had; he was brought up a counsel, but did not practice; he could speak VVelsli, but was fonder of speakiilg English ; he was a good- looking gentle- man, fair complexion, wore . his hair powdered in fashion, lis other gentlemen ; he- had it tied behind before it was cut.— Cross- examined: I lived with Miss Jones, but left her 18 years, ago; " Mr, Jones's mother lived at Llaudisilio Hall,'' and be with her; be was communicative sometimes, and sometimes re served ; 1 never beard him speak of his relations ; 1 had very little conversation with him ; he was not bald ; 1 never observed bis being marked with the small- pox ; 1 have seen him wear a waistcoat with flaps; I can't say when be left off, powder; atone itne he wore his hair tied, and powder occasionally, hut not in. common. Jones, in 1782, in Smart's Buildings, llolborn ; be was a coaehmaker; 1 lived iu the family 12 years; when I first went into tbe family, David Jones was nearly 90 years of age, quite blind ; lie lived 12 ilonths after 1 went into the service; Richard bad a house in the country, at Wilsdon ; 1 was in the town house lo took after old David and loose tbe men into work. I have beard . Richard Jones and bis wife lalk of their relation at Llandisilio; that relation came there two or three times, while I was there I cooked dinner for him, and be gave nie 5 shillings he was a fine fresb- lookhig gentleman, with bis bui tied behind, and wore powder ; they called each other cousin, aud Richard said, when he ( th relation) died, be should be well off; Richard sai be was brought up a counsellor, and had retired from business. .1 asked Richard who the genlleina was, and he said, " It is my cousin, and be is gone to -••*'-• at Llandisilio." David said be was himself apprentice to a soapboiler, at Shrewsbury; his son Richard was born at Barnet; David was married at Shrewsbury, and he told me his wife was 20 yeai younger than himself. 1 live at Short's Gardens, St. Giles's; I am married, and my husband is a tailor ; I married out of Richard Jones's family,— Iu her cross- examination, she said — David Jones died while Richard kept a town and country house; he had no other servant in town ; he went lo his country house, backwards and forwards; sometimes he went in a carriage; David did not go to Wilsdon; tbe family never came to the town bouse until they came to live there. David Jones did not die in the work- house, nor was be buried there ; lie was not buried at the expense of the parish; Ihere was a hearse and mourning coach at tbe funeral. Richard Jones's wife suckled Attn and a nephew at the same time. I bad been in Richard Jones's service about four years, when tbe relation called the first time; 1 think the second and third tinies he called, was merely to ask how he did, and I think it was him who put hint in business; it was the first time that lie dined; it was at Wilsdon; and I went to cook tbe dinner; 1 have never sworn 1 cooked two din- ners. [ An affidavit in Chancery, made by the wit- ness, in this cause, was produced, to invalidate her testimony, by shewing she had cooked dinner for Mr. Jones more than once, and that David and Richard went backwards and forwards to Wilsilon.] I have sworn that David never went backwards aud forwards. Tbe reason why I W'as not here before was, tbe plaintiff did not know where to find me ; Hospital, produced the petition of David Jones to have his son Thomas ( then aged seven years, and therein represented, to have been born in Feb. 1743, and baptized by the Vicar of Oswestry, in the county of Salop) admitted on lhat foundation. He was admitted, and the entry of bis discharge was 21st Sept. 1760: " Thomas Jones discharged by Captain Charles Wilson, ship Hawke, bound for the Levant, for seven years, unless bis Majesty shall require his last year's service." Mr. James Hooke ( aged ' lave lived at Barnet ever since I was about 6 years old, at the Red Lion, at the bottom of the bill. I knew David Jones above 60 years ago, foreman to Mr, Reeves, tallow- chandler and soapboiler. I used to go there to fetch soap and candles. David lived up above the church. He was a Welshman,.: nnd had a boy about eight years old, that we used to call Youtig Taffy; L is wife- was younger than liini; Ann Hughes.— I have lived at Newcastle. under- Line28 years; whena girl, I lived iust by Llnmlisilio-' with my mother, who used to work at tbe ' Squire's, in Ihe garden ; I used to go to her there. Mrs Jones paid" for burying my - mother.- bad an aunt, but she is dead ; she went froln our house to service; before then, my mother asked Mrs. Jones if she could get her ( lily aunt)- a place,, and she said she would put her in a good place, if she would like to go to London to Mr. Jones ; whether Mr. Jones was a brother or some other relation I can't tell ; she said be was in the soap way, somewhere about Lon- don ; she nmned the place; yes, Baruet—^ lliat was the place ; my aunt wetit. Cross- examined.— It is many yc'ars: ago since this onversation, & that makes il l can't' remember every thing; I was four or live years old when the con- versation took place. '.",;'.," • - " ' Mr. Evan Roberts ( aged 40).— I was servant to old Mr. Thomas . Jones; of Llandisilio, for 14 or 15 years ; about 23 years ago I was sent to tbe Steward' at Llaufair Caereinion to get some money lie told me he was going to send it to London to his relation, a coachmaker; I got tbe money; he gave me letter, after I came home from the. Steward ; 1 left the letter at Mr. Parry's shop, and be fold me to tell tlietii to send it as soon as they could to London ; lie told me to take care of it, as there was some . money iu it; tbe letter was for Richard Jones. After I bad. gone, be gave me a pair of stockings. Some years after lhat, I remember Mr. Jones going lo London ; I think it is about 17 years ago. After be bad been, be said he had been with his relations, and that lie had given some money for tlient, £ 5 or 5 guineas, and to his daughter £ 1 or 1 guinea, for every one of them. Cross- examined.— I was to meet tbe Steward at tbe Goat Inn, Llanfair, and he met nie there; be came from Machynlleth; there was a great deal on tbe letter, but " I only remember Richard Jones, London. A. M. S. Jones ( aged 31).— 1 am sister to the plaintiff; lived with my father Richard Jones in Smart's Buildings, Holborn; I have heard my fatbe talk of Thomas Jones, residing at Llandisilio; Ire member him coining lo see my father about 16 or 17 years ago ; be shook bands with him, and cailed liitn cousin ; he stopped about an hour, and gave my fatlier 5 guineas, myself a guinea, and my sister tl is dead a guinea ; Mrs. Short was there, besides me and i.- iy sister. Cross- examined.— I was here before ; my memory is not so good now-, as I have not been well ; 1 dit' not then say Mrs. Sliort was there, but she was there and walked out immediately; my mother was not there ; I cannot recollect whether my mother was there or not; 1 do not recollect whether I swore, on a former occasion, that she was there all the lime ; I recollect saying be was an old man; I did say he had the look of being about 70. " Did yon not say he bad a wig on?" I thought be had, but I can't say it. 4t Did you not tell tbe Judge he wore an old- fashioned waistcoat with flaps ?" I believe I said lie had. " Do you remember my asking you whether lie was bald?" I can't tell. " Did not I" ask you whether lie wus bald, and did not vow'siiy I think' be was, but he bad powdered hair?'" I can't tell. " Had he tbe small pox ?" I think he had, bttt I can't tell.— He and my lather talked about soolethifig comingto my father at his death ; hegave my fatlietS guineas ; I am sure lliey were guineas. [ A seal Was produced.] My father gave me this just before, lie died. I made an affidavit claiming ( as next- of- kin) part of the personal estate; my father told me to keep tbe seai till some future time, it might get me some money or something; be lias been dead atgout 14 years ; when Mr. Jones came fruit was in season';. I saw him tbe next day ; 1 went part of tbe way to tbe coach with him; 1 did not go ail the way to the coach with him. " Did you. not swear, last ti'Uie, you and your sister went with hiiu ' tO'tad- lane to see him go?" IcarTtteJL ...... . The. plaintiff's case being1 closed, MR. JEHVIS rose, hd addressed the jury for the defendant. After noticing- the plaintiff,- whom lie described as riii estate fancier ( lie having laid claim to other pro- perty), and ' telling- the jury that if any of J hem should happen to die without a will, they must not be surprised if Mr. Benjamin Jones was today claim to their- estaies, he- said that tlie evidence, he. should addnee would not only prove that the plaintiff had no claim whatever to. the property in question, but that his client bad, and was- the undoubted and acknowledged heir to it.- [ Baron RUI. LOCK here desired Mr, Jervis not to go into proof of his own ease,; but merely to/ negative that of the plaintiff.] Having discovered On the former trial, from the Indenture produced by the defendant, that David Jones was a soapboiler at Bristol, the. plaintiff had adapted his evidence on the present occasion to the discovery so made. He bad availed himself of the clue, which the former trial afforded him, but he had no. hesitation in saying, that the whole case which he had endeavoured to. bolster . up was bottomed upon perjury. The learned counsel then noticed the inconsistencies in, the statements of several of the witnesses on the present and on the former trial ; and remarked upon none of them lying anything about Mprgau, the second son, who did not seem to have been known to, or heard of, by a single individual ; to be sure there was an entry in the bible to say be. had no issue, and that was all; and why so? because, unless they disposed of Mor- gan, David could have no title whatever. He then went on to state that he should produce documents to prove fhat David. Jones, who married Ann Cole, was an ignorant pauper, and that they were both of them persons fiving in Shrewsbury, and without any connexion with the David Jones, of Bristol; that the, former; David Joneses mother's name was Jane, and that the daughter had by them was ehristejied after her : and,- after com men lino- on Mrs. RusheroftV estimohy, relative to the period of David Jones's death which, he contended,. was completely contradictory said he should prove that the David Jones, described by the plaintiff as resident in London, and buried at St. Martin's in the Fields, was* buried from the work- house,— and that Ann, the wife of David Jones, did not die until 1780. After this, he adverted K> the Bible, the hand- writing- in which he declared to. be a gross forgery, ttnd' that the two leaves had beet) stained by a chemical process, they being of a: dif- ferent colour to any in the book. Be then com mented upon the testimony of Mrs. Riusfrferoft, Mrs Short, tbe servant Andrews, Lahgford, and others^ and noticed the discrepancies in the dates and facts? spoken to by the several ^ witnesses. After which" lie stated the* nature of the deXg^ JTa^ i's -'.. whifcb^ he said, would completely negative that of the plaintiff'; and- observed that he. shoo Id bring- before- tlveni witnesses of the, greatest respectability, who would prove:, to their satisfaction, that the sister of the Intestate, and the Inte^ ateliimself^ jiad often and over declared that, the p^ vereux^,. froni whom Major Harrison, the defendant, Was descended, w? his heirs- at- law. The - learned counsel concluded long, ingenious, and . energetic! address, ' by statin^ that he relied with confidence* upon a verdict for his client. __ Mr. Jdlih Jones, attorney, Toitenham- court- road - I am a native of Llandisilio; I know tire Rev Mr. Beans ; the plaintiff called upon me/ in 1818 to know if I could give him any information of Coun- sellor Owen, where be lived, his christian name and where he was buried," sttftifig- that his g* rand mother was sister to Counsellor Owen,' and if the Counsellor died without a will the estates of Caer Brocbjyn and Ynysymaerigwynwduld become his / that if he could learn where he was buried, and his christian najne, he would g- 6 into; Wales and claim the- estatesj which were his rigtef ;^ h'e further said there was aIittle pi'opefty fh « iftiougdit to belong- him in South Wales, but near Aberystwith ; it w: a small tenement, and I told him it would cost, him more in looking1 after it than it would- be worth when he g- ot it. I observed, " then your grandfather came from South Wales," and he answei'edj " yes.'* I vyrotefour letters to Mr. Bean's, for -^ ht1 plaintiff and the answers to each leftdY I gave to him, He said his grandfather and•• gr& jVdihothe. r'were buried at St. Martin's in the Fields : that his father aud mother were married there ; ' that his grandfather was a coach make r in St, Martin's Lane, aud his father . also was a coachriiaker • I received a letter from Mr. Beans respecting the Ynysymaengwyn estates,: and gave it to the plaintiff. Rev. Edward Beans.— I am perpetual curate of Llandisilio, and live near Corvyen ; I went to Llan,- disilio Hall nearly every Saturday night, and stopped till Sunday. Mr. Jones was not given to converse with people on fairiily affairs, he was a man of reserved habits, unless it was to those with whom he was intimately acquainted ; I have heard him speak of his relations, the Lloyds of Maesmawr, the Edwardseso'f Rhaggai, and tbe late Mrs. Pryc'e ( mother of the defendant), I remember Benjamin Jones ( plaintiff') coming to my house at Corwen in company with Mr. Short, in Jan. or Feb. 1821, to enquire about the Llaudisilio property. Short said that Mr. Benjamin Jones thought himself entitled to an estate iu Wales, but did not know where it was until lie saw the advertisement after the late Mr. Jones's death. Plaintiff said his father was an eccentric man, and he understood Mr. Jon- J was so, and I understood him to mean that therefore he thought they were related. I asked plaintiff if he had any documents to shew, and he said that his father had burned them all, for be was a very odd man. Plaintiff enquired respecting one David Jones, and I answered that I had 110 person of that name in iny Register, and said that fhe family originally caine from Llanfair, and probably he would find it there ; he appeared to know nothing about that parish, but said be would go there and enquire. I asked him whether he was the person who had employed Mr. Jones', of Tottenham- court- road, respecting the Ynysymaengwyn property, and he said he was. Iu March, 1822, he came with Mr. Neale to get copies of. registers ; he said his grandfather was a coachmaker iu London ; I said a coaelimaker at that time was rather an unusual trade ;. Mr. Neale replied that the Coach makers' Company in London was established long before ; I asked him if he was. apprentice in London, and Mr. Neale said, No, it was at some of the inter- mediate towns, and he believed Mr. Hall had got the indenture. I know John Langford; a short time after Mr. Jones's death lie claimed the estate ; llaviug heard that, I went and asked his relation- ship, and he said his mother was^ a second cousin. I- advised him to come . forward, and be did claim the estate ; I have known him ever since, be " Was a boy; from his general character and conduct I would'not believe him on his oath. ; - Crosrf- examiued : When I met Langford I spoke to him ; I have conversed, with hijir; I - had a bad opinion . of hiin when I advised him to claim the estate. " Why did you advise Langford to state his chiiin, if you would irofbelieve hiift On. oath ? I considered that his bad character was no reason " why lie might notdiave Ihe Llandisilio property, if it was., bis- right. I am very intimate with Majo Harrison, since he came to the Llandisilio estate I keep the parish" register's there, as there is no Vicarage.; House ; .1 once asked- the late Mr. Jones, who'was " to enjoy the estate after liim, observing that some people said the Lloyds, and some the Edwardses ; but- Mr. Jones replied, " No, Lloyd, of Cefu ;" I told this on tbe day of the funeral. Witness admitted he had said Major Harrison had been at Llandisilio, to claim Mr. Jones's notice ; hut, to the best of bis recollection, never said Mr. Jones vVould not acknowledge him. " Did you not say to Mr. Copner Williams, that Mr. Jones indignantly rejected Major Harrison's preten- sions?" " I dare, say .1 may have repeated that Mr. Jones was not very civil to Major Harrison; but whatever I said, was from hearsay." . Joseph Hume, Esq. inspector of franks at the Bank of England, examined the. writing in the Bible, and also the, signature- of David Jones annexed . to his petition to Christ's Hospital ; and was . of opinion they were not written by the same person, Benjamin Davies, waiter at the King's Head Inn, Llangollen.— I saw the plaintiff and Mr. Short; the latter said, " This friend of mine is come to claim this estate/' and then asked me, if I knew anything about the ancestors, an ' I said " No ;" be then asked if* I bad ever heard of Counsellor O. wen, ild. I answered, I knew nothing of that, I had seen picture there 111 robes, and plaintiff said, " Most likely that is him, I claim from him ;" be said the . estate came into the Jones's family from the Owens; in April, 1821, I saw plaintiff' and Mr. Hall; before they left the Inn, Mr. Hall asked me, 1 plaintiff ' s presence, if I would endeavour to find out tbe cliristian- mime of the great- grandfather of the late Mr. Jones, and said he would leave me bis address,' which he did ; I was to find out a person that could prove it. Mr. John Jefferson, clerk in the Affidavit Office n the Court of Chancery, produced an affidavit sworn toby the plaintiff', in support of an injunc- tion, April 4, 1821, in which be describe!! his ancestors as Thomas and Ann ( not Evan and Ellen). Rev. F> an Lewis, Vicar of Llanfair, produced the Register of that parish, containing the Baptism of Thomas, son of Evan and Ellen Jones, of Llan- lothian, on 26th July, 1686; he said he originally gave the extracts as " Thomas," believing it to be so in the register, which was much defaced 011 that ptjrt; when the extracts were made, the register was the same as now, but. at first he had doubts upon that subject; be believed it to be Evan, and not Thomas as he at first took it for. David Hughes, ostler at the King's Head, Llan- ollen, did uot believe Langford to be entitled to redit on his oath. Mr. 11. Roberts, solicitor for Mrs. Hickman, said the indenture of apprenticeship of David Jones was found in a bag, among other papers and writings of the intestate. Mr. Allen produced examined copies of the registers of the births of Morgan, David, and Vaughan Jones, sons of Evan and Ellen ; of the marriage of Vaughan to Elizabeth Jones, and of their children born at Cennnes ; and . tbe presenta- tion of the said V'aughtin to the Rectory of Ceinuies; also, examined copies of the register of the death of Vaughan Jones, and of his daughter Anna Maria, who died at Welsh Pool, 23d June, 1808. The deposition of Mrs. Ann Glasgow, under the direction of tbe Court ofChancery, to interrogatories taken at Welshpool, who- was stated by Mr. Jones, surgeon, to be unable to attend, was then read, to prove her knowledge of the late Thomas Jones, Esq. of Llmidisilio Hall, his sister Mary, and his aunts A'un and Margaret, and the relationship subsisting be. tween Jlie children of Mr. Vailglian Jones and the ' ntestute, and iheir connexion with the Deverenxes, who were considered by them and herself heirs to the property. Mrs. Ann Gelliyn ( tiged74), whose husband wasa distant relation to tbe intestate, spoke to her know- ledge for 40 years of Anna Maria, daughter of Mr. Vaughan Jones, and having beard her sav thai, after her death and Ihe death of her sister, Mrs. Pryce, of' the Gaer ( the mother of the defendant), would be his heir. Mis. Catherine Sturkoy deposed that she remem. Iiered the late Mr. Jones on a visit to Mr. Devereux and lias beard Ibe latter speak of liini as a relative ; adding that Mrs. Humphreys was Mr. Devereux's daughter ; and lhat if Mr. Jones and his sister died, Major Harrison was tbe nexi heir; also that David Jones, the son of Evan and Ellen, died young and unmarried. Mr. Roberts produced a copy of tbe register of St, Stephen's Church, Bristol, in which Ihere wns a burial, in 1724, " David Jones, drow ned ;" and that in ibe same church John Walking ( fo whom David was apprentice), was buried in June, 1739, Mr. Robert Davis ( aged 79) said be was bailiffto Mr. Vaughan Jones, and had seen him ill' Company wiih the. intestate, talking about their eslates ; on which occasion they respectively said of each oilier, that if tbe one died the other would be his heir, and thai they called'one another cousins. Mrs: Catherine Junes ( aged 60), lived with Anne nnd Margaret Jones, aunt to Ihe late Mr. T. Jones they lived nf Oswestry, and I was upper servant they were sensible ladies, and 1 have beard them sa , that fhe Devereux family were related to them ; the Rev. John Pryce married the mother of Major Har- rison, and I have heard Mrs. Humphreys and Mis Mytton say their nieces were the heirs at law to the la | e Mr. Jones; that Mr. Jones of Llandisilio and Mr. Vaughan Jones, Rector of Cemmes, were also re- lated ; the ladies I lived with were aunts to M r. Jones, of IJandisilio,& first cousins to Ihe Rectorof Cenimes, and they were what we call welsh nieces to Major Harrison's aunts; welsh nieces are tbe daughters of cousins; I lived with Mr. Jones's sister ten years, and she called them cousins. Rev. J. Pryce— I married the mother of Major Harrison, after her first husband's- death-;- I- knew. Blandina Humphreys and Mrs. Mytton; thei maiden name was Devereux; th Major Harrison's mother, her grandfather's sisters. I was intimate with Blandina more than 40 years', and have heard her say that her nieces were heirs to Mr. Jones, of Llandisilio:; I have heard Mr, Jones's sister say Mrs. Pryce ( Major Harrison's mother) and Mrs. Hickman were heirs- at. laiv to her brother, in case lie died without a will; this was either in 1815 or 1816. The late Mr. Jones and his sister called at my house when I was unwell, and dined with Mrs. Pryce;. the next day I went with Mr. Jones to an estate of his; I then lived at Montgomery, at the foot of the hilt. Rev. G. A, Evors, of Newtown.— I knew Blan dina Humphreys and was very intimate with her from the year 1808, since which time I resided in the same town ; I saw her almost, every day ; she died in 1814, upwards of 80 years of age, and have seldom known a person or herbage of so strong a'mind and so retentive a memory ; I have heard her say that in case Mr. Jones died without a will. Bob Harrison ( the defendant) would succeed to the property variation in their testimony between that and the present occasion. Mr. Jefferson produced a register of St. Giles'*' in tbe Fields ( the place where, on the former trial, David Jones was stated by the plaintiff to be buried), to prove that, 011 March 25th, 1783, David Jones was buried " from the workhouse." Au extract from the Register of Chipping Barnet was also read, to shew that Richard Jones, the plaintiff's father, was married, on the 2d May,. 177t>, by banns, to Susannah Morris ( and not Susannah Harrison). Mr. William Chaytor, coach- broker, of London. — I knew Richard Jones 54 years ago, when be lived in Smart's Buildings ; he was a poor man ; I never heard of his having a country- house; bis house bad two rooms ou the first floor, two 011 the second, and two lofts ; his set- out. in trade was not much ; he worked jobbing for hackney- coachmen ; the last time lie was sold up for rent" I purchased all his coach- stock for £ 6or £ 7.— Cross- examined: I knew him put apprentice ; we assnciated ; I knew him up to his death, and 1 swear I never heard of his having a house at Wilsdon Green. Elizabeth Roberts.— 1 lived al Smart's Buildings - before Richard Jones did; I knew him five or six ; be was a jobbing coacbmaker ; he bad no . country bouse ; be was always a poor man; be was stiained upon three times by his landlord George oodwin. To shew lhat David Jones, married to Ann Cole, nd tbe said Ann Cole were Shrewsbury persons, r. Allen read an extract from St. Chad's register, shew that a David Jones, sou of Robert and Jane ones, was born Dec. 21,1695. Another of 1714— George Cole and Ann Lewis married Sept. 26. One from St. Alkinmid, of 1715— Ann, daughter f George Cole and Ann his wife, christened. 1754— George Cole, aged 70, from the workhouse, tried. Mr. S. Driver produced St. Alkmond's churcli- ilte for 17334 in which George Cole was entered and rated for a tenement of £ 2, value Is ; anil David . Joues entered for a tenement of £ 1. 10s, value, but not ruled. 1* 34— Similar entries. Mr. James Bevan produced the rale for tbe parish f Holy Cross for 1735 and 1736, in which David Jones was entered as rated for a tenement of £ 2 itlue, al Is. iu the pound. Similar entries were io ' e same hook 10 years before and 10 a'te'r. The defendant's case being closed— The plaintiff called J. Copner Williams, Esq. of Chirk, who said, that 011 the day of Mr. Jones's funeral, he heard the Rev. Edward Beaus several times repeat that Mr. Jones always denied the defendant's pretensions to fhe estate ; and that on one occasion Mr. Jones told bis servant to deny ' im to the defendant, and would not be seen by im. Mr. Godfrey Lloyd.-- I- i; esideat Llaiigollen- vechan, on my own property ; I have known Langford for 32 years ; he is the most industrious and hardest working man I ever had in my employ ; I never found liini in a falsity in all my life ; Langford was taken up about some bark, but. was bailed; he was tried and acquitted, and sold the bark after. Mr. R. Edwards, shopkeeper.— I have known Langford 40 years : he was always honest and true as far as I know ; Langford was put in gaol^ for a quarrel, but never for a felony. About twelve o'clock Mr. Pi: R, t, FR rose and re- plied at considerable length, and with much force, ingenuity, and eloquence.— After which Baron HUL'LOCK recapitulated the evidence, and, as he proceeded, made such remarks as he thought suit- able to tbe bearings thereof. This occupied the' Court and Jury until nearly four o'clock, and the Jury ( which was special) almost immediately returned a Verdict for the Defendant, many of whose friends, of tbe highest respectability, were present, and evinced their joy, 011 coining out of1 Court, by loud huzzas.

CAKR.— Assault. — This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages from the defendant, who was a clerk in a coal office and captain of the Newcastle watch, for au assault and a false imprisonment.. Tbe facts of the case were these :— Two parties of young men who had been spending tbe evening somewhat jovially, accidentally met in tbe streets 011 their way home ; one party called out in the words of Moore's Melody, " Fly not yet;" the others replied, " Ob stay ;" the watchmen inter- rupted this duet, and desired the parties to go home — they refused, a row was the consequence, and some of the young men were carried to the watch- house, The plaintiff, Watson, who was a friend of one of the prisoners, repaired to the watch- house, to offer . bail for bi 111, liad an altercation with the defendant, who was captain of the watch, was de- tained by him until morning, and for this ill- treat- ment he now sought redress. The facts were clearly proved, and Mr. Justice BAVLEY charged the Jury- to give, such damages as would teach officers of the night to conduct themselves in a moderate and be- eoinijig manner.— Mr. SCARLETT, who was for the plaintiff, remarked that his client only wanted such a verdict as would establish tbe* illegality of the defendant's conduct.— The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff"— Damages, 40s. Edward Jones.— I am a travelling preacher my father rented an estate under the late Mr* Jones, whom I knew for 30 years ; I was intimate with him ; 011 17th of Nov. 1819, I dined with hi and he said " do you kniiw Major Harrison fri Montgomery," I sa'id " no ;." he saidj " that's very strange indeed, he called here some time ago, anil enquired after my health, and my housekeeper told him I was at Oswestry very unwell, consequently he would not alight; she then asked hiin to leave his name, and he said to her my name is Major Harrison, of Montgomery, I am " a relation of Mr. Jones. He ( said Mr. Jones to me) is the right heir of hiy estates in Montgomeryshire, after my day ; I am sorry I was from home,' as I should have been very happy to have seen him, but I was at Os- westry very ill indeed at. that time. I should not wonder if some one gavd out I was dead, and I dare say he came to hear of it, and I have 110 doubt lie came here to take possession." I said, " I aui very glad you are so happily disappointed," and he said, " So am I," and then looked grave, and said, " lam afraid he'll not be long disappointed." — Cross- examined : I have been a travelling preacher 18 years; at 24, I took to preaching; Mr. Jones was not of my congregation ; we used to reason upon religion; I used to called there after, but 1 only dined with hiin once in all my life; there was 110 oue present when he said this but him and 1; I have often taken tea with him. Mr. Money, surgeon, Hanover- Street.— I knew the late Mr. Jones upwards of20 years ; I attended him p rofe. ss i on a 11 y . for the Iast4 or 5 years,— always - at Llandisilio; I was very intimate with him, perhaps no one more so; he was very reserved, but of most gentlemanly habits; lie w'as uot dis- posed to. communicate his concerns to any one, qui, te the reverse; he valued his friends more than his relations. On one occasion, about 6 or 7. years from this time, he said be hjd. been a good, tenant of the estate— he had fallen 110 timber— had paid off the debts, and made purchases; I said to hint, " Who is to be your heir to all this ?" lie replied, that his heir, he believed, was a Deverenx, liyjng at the foot of . a mountain in Montgomeryshire. - Mr. Morris, surgeon, Llangollen,, and Mr. John Roberts, timber- merchant, said., they tvould not believe Langford on his oath in a- case wbenein he bad any interest. ••[• The evidence of Anna Maria Sophia Jones- and Mrs. Rushcroft,. , is given by them 011 the'former trial, was then read ovecto the Jury, to show'tlie - •- WORCESTER ASSIZES. T) oc, on the several Demises of Totnbins and others, against' t. ucey and another.— This was an ejectment brought on a number of Demises under a family of tbe name of Carwardine and George,- whose paients lived. in the neighbourhood of . Malvern in tbe 17th'eentiiry, to recover thnse most celebrated Springs- called Malvern Wells," with the buildings, baths, & c. thereto belonging. . Mr. Taunton opened ll[ e plaintiffs' case in a most perspicuous manner, nnd stated, that his clients claimed the premises ill ques- tion, as heirs of Dante Carwardine, who was born about the year 1716, and was the very person that dis- covered, or at least brought into repine, lhat famous Spring or Well called Ihe Holv Weil, situate on the eastern side of tlie Malvern Hills, which had ren- dered Great Malvern and its neigbboni boo I one of tlie most fashionable aiid'eelebrated places of resort in tile kingdom. This old Woman, lie stated, was originally possessed, of a cottage and garden on the Hill; that Ihe Holy Well Spring'rose in the garden, and that by means of pipes " and reservoirs, she had conveyed it to the spot in question':' over which she, at various periods, from ihe donations and presents she obtained from her visitants, erected tbe present building, containing hot and eold baths, and various apartments for tbe accommodation of tbe public. Tbe plaintiff^ produced a number of witnesses and docu- mentary evidence, in proof of their case, as slated bv Mr. Tnnntiin ; and that the defendants were merely usurpers, and had 110 title whatever to the valuable Springs'. claimed by ihe plaintiffs.— The defendant - esisted' ihe case of tbe plaintiffs by their Counsel, Mr. Jervis, who, in a long speech, contended lhat the defendants were the executors of ihe late Mr. Steers, who kept Ibe great lodging- house called the Well House, at Malvern, and was lessee of a Mr. Caiey, ( the father of ihe present Bishop of Eseter,) who managed and was the occupier of the same for many years; lhat the. very springs and bathing- house in question were included in bis lease from Mr. Carey, as be would prove in evidence ; and that Mr. Carey, and the defendants who represented him, had been in possession, and done many acts of ownership thereon, for a number of years. In April, 1801, Mr, Steers obtained a lease from a Mrs. George, tbe heir at law of Dame Carwardiue, who appeared lo have been born in January, 1701, of a collage and premises ( which included tlie bathing- house mill Springs in question,) for 21 years, which expired at Michaelmas last ; all of which his lessee then gave up, except theSprings and bathing- bouse, which, be contended, for the first time, were not included in such lease, Mr. Taunton made a most eloquent reply to Mr. Jervis, and commented with great effect on tbe de- fendants' case, and. ibe futility of tbe proofs which they had brought in support of their defence.— Mr. Baron llullock summed up the evidence in a most clear anil impartial manner; and after observing upon the testimony, said to the Jury, that be thought the plaintiff bad made out bis claim to tbe property in question, and that be was entitled to recover.— The Jury almost immediately found 11 verdict for tbe plaintiff'. The cause occupied the attention of ibe Court nearly seven hours.
