COURT OF CHANCERY.— MONDAY. Lair of Legitimacy.— Ma ris v. Davies. JUDGMENT, The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this long depending suit, which involves the most important questions in the law of legitimacy. His Lordship began by recapitulating the facts of the case, the most material of which are as follow: — That Mr. and Mrs. Morris were married in 1778, and rrsided at Shrewsbury ( Mr. Morris being a medical man) till 1788, when, having had one child, the wife of the defendant, they separated by mutual consent, in consequence ( as the articles of separation recited) of unhappy differences ex- isting between them, Mrs. M. then went to live In the town of Llanfair, in Montgomeryshire, taking with her a young man named William Austin, whom Mr. M. said be had hired to clean his shoes, and with whom Mrs M wal suspected of some familiarity before the separation. Mr. Morris removed to Argoed, in Montgomeryshire, 14 or 15 miles from Liaufair. It was proved that Mrs. M. was delivered Of a male child in December, 1792, the identity of whom with the plaintiff was established. The question therefore wax, w hether sexual intercourse had taken place between Mr. and Mrs. Morris at such a time that by the laws of Nature fie could be the father of the child? The present bill was filed in 1811; an issue was directed in 1826, which was tried at Shrewsbury in March, 1827, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff. An application was made for a new trial, aud the Court thinking there was reason to doubt the evidence of one witness ( Mary Evans), who, if believed, established the legitimacy, granted a new trial, and it was directed to be put as a question to Ihe Jury, whether they believed that witness? The Jury found a verdict for the defendants, and expressly stated they disbelieved her testimony. A third trial, however, was directed, and on that occasion the Jury were divided in opiuiotf,- and they were discharged without coining to any conclusion; and it was ultimately agreed that the Lord Chaucellor should deride it. His Lordship then stated the result of the evi- dence on both sides as applicable to the question. It was proved by the plaintiff's witnesses, that between the separation and the birth of the eliil'd, Mr. Morris had gone over to Llanfair, visited his wife, walked with her, and they had given direc- tions together for work to be ( tone upon the pro- perty. That, however, was the whole effect of the evidence, aud they had never been shown iu such a situation that intercourse conld be inferred fo have taken place. The law presumes the child of a married woman legitimate, in the absence of contrary evidence ; aud the question in this case WHS, whether the evidence for the defendants was strong enough to rebut the presumption of law? The principal witness for the plaintiff had been discredited ; and others who swore to important points on the second trial, were not produced on the third trial, because, as it was admitted at the bar, they were liable to be contradicted. Now the facts to rebut the presumption of legi- fiinacy were— that Mrs. M. lived in adultery with Austin ; that the birth of the child was concealed ; that he was sent immediately on his birth, in a winter's night, on horseback, to the father aud mother of Austin ; was christened by the name of Evan Williams, and registered as " a base- born child ;" was brought up by the parents of Austin, and put to school by hint ; and on the death of Austin, who bequeathed him all th « » property he possessed, he was put into mourning for him. On the other hand, Mr. Morris lived 10 or 17 years after the birth, and the existence of the child was never communicated to him, but, on the contrary, when a vague report upon the subject reached film, and he taxed his wife with it, she vehemently denied ever having had any child but Mrs. Davies. On the marriage of his daughter with the defend- ant without his consent, he made a will, leaving his property to his relations, but on being recon- ciled to her he made a fresh disposition of it in her favonr, taking no notice in cither case of the present plaintiff; and in an instrument lo which he was a party, he described his daughter to be his only child and heir at law. His Lordship then adverted to part of the plaintiff's evidence, which he had omitted, concerning a visit of Mr. and Mrs. Morris lo Mrs. Lloyd of Garthllwyd, which was spoken to by Mrs. Lloyd; but she had fixed no time ; and the coachman, who stated it to have Occurred in the spring of 1792, without any cir- cumstance to impress it upon his mind, was conlra- dicted by the other servants, who lived in the house at that time. These being the circumstances of the case, and there being no doubt about the law, which had been clearly stated by the Judges in the Banbury Peerage case, viz. that the child of a married woman was presumed to be legitimate, but that presumption might be rebutted by evidence to the contrary, the question was simply a question of fact, whether the presumption of law was rebutted by the defendant ? aud his Lordship was of opinion that it was rebutted; and he could not, as a reasonable man, bring his mind to Ihe conclusion that the plaintiff had established his legitimacy. Various conjectures had been offered al the bar to account for the concealment of the birth, but he could not adopt any of ( hern; and the result was, that the plaintiff must be declared not to be the child of Mr. Morris, and the Bill must be dismissed. 0> i Hie 21th nil. much rcgieiied by all who knew her worth, in Ihe 49th year of her age, Mrs. Shep- herd, the lamented wife of Mr. Levi Shepherd, of Law ley Rank, after a long aud painful affliction of nearly two years, which she bore with exemplary patience and submission to the Divine Will ; aud, relying entirely on the merits of her Redeemer, re- signed her spirit to hiui who gave it, in full hope of a blessed immortality.

The lovers of Shakspeare will he happy to learn that the Shakspearean Club at Stratford- upon Avon are making extensive preparations to redeem pledge made to the public in the year 1827, by a repetition of those amusements, first- projected by Garrick, which were so triumphantly carried into effect on a former occasion.— The M Jubilee" is, as before, to commence on the 23d of April next, and will continue some days. The festivities will consist of a procession of Shakspeare's principal dramatic characters, concerts, public breakfasts, fireworks, ball a masquerade each evening under the management of Mr. Raymond, proprielor of ( he theatre, & c. & c.— The whole, we understand, will be under the imme- diate patronage of the Corporation of Stratford- upon Avon.

SURCHARGES.— Monday last was appointed for the hearing of appeals against surcharges made bv the Surveyor at Lewes. From the list of the appeals, the sums charged, and the result, the balance is greatly in favour of the previously received opinion, that, generally speaking, the surcharges were vexa- tious. It appears that, of £ 300 and upwards sur- charged, NOT ONE SIXTH was confirmed. This fact speaks volumes, and proves that, however competent Mr. Winton may be as a surveyor, he is no judge. Ill the course of the day, Mr. Kell, jun. who had appealed successfully against a surcharge, recited a clause in the act of Parliament which states, that, if any. person is frivolously surcharged, and escapes conviction, lie may demand of the Commissioners a certificate to that effect, and may recover a com- pensation for his time and expenses.

A Meeting of Ihe County of Flint will be held at MuJ'lj on Monday next, to tiike into consideration the di- slijeKR of the country, and the propriety of petitioning f;> v relief. In ihe matter of Pateshall, Gent. Under- sheriff of Hereford. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL shewed cause in this case ou the pjirt of Mr. William Pate* hall, who was Under- sheriff1 of Herefordshire, and an Attorney of the Court, against a rule calling upon that Geotlemnn to shew cause why he should uoi. be struck off' the Roll of Aitoriiies, and pay the costs of the application. Mr. Pateshall was a gentleman of high lespectahiJiiy, and it would seem that this application agaiost him was founded in malice. It had been made ou the'part of ifftjbovvnes, au Attorney, who was in pactueiship with X « lMtihderson. Messrs. AnddrsoiiWiuKDovvnes had had a client of the name of Danseiy ^ U'ehard Drt'uxev, Esq j, a gentleman of great respert, ability and fortune, residing in Herefordshire. They had done business for him, and sent him in a bill of costs amount- ing to somewhere about £ 1100. Mr. Dansey, thinking this Very high, spoke to Mr. Pateshall about it, and he advised him to have it taxed. On the taxation more than a sixth was taken off, and Messrs. Anderson and Downes had to pay the costs. After this, au action was brought against Mr. Dansey in respect of another bi'll for conducting a tithe suit. Mr. Ander- son's bill on that occasion amounted to £ k290* and proceedings having been instituted for its recovery it was reduced to only 80 or £ 00; for this sum,, with the costs of the action, amounting altogether to £ 210, an execution* was taken tint against Mr. Dansey. The present complaint agahis't Mr. PateshaH related to his conduct in respect to that execution. One of the charges against him was, that he had acted a « Attorney for Mr. Dansey in the action, and had mixed that character with his character of Under- sheriff. He did not, however, art as the Attorney of Mr. Dunsey in the action ; a Mr. Bennett, of London, having been employed. The writ of Fieri facias, endorsed to levy £- 2l(>, was issued ou the 16th of May, and made re- turnable an the 24th, which was on a Sunday. The writ was sent by post, and arrived at Hereford on the 18th. Mr. Patesball did not see it until the 19th. Mr Downes had sworn that no warrant was granted, and no officer employed but Mr. Pnte » ha1l swore that he did issue a wafrant, and thai he did that which he was in the habit of doing in the case of every gentleman whom he thought was likely to pay without a levy being made— he sent his clerk lo make au application for the money . As a proof of malice, on the part of Mr. Dowries, he { the- learned Counsel) would mention that there were seven other persons equally liable wiih Mr. Dansey to Mr. Anderson for the hill of the tithe suit, but Mr. Dow ties chose to select him in con- sequence of his having had the former 1) 111 of costs taxed. A levy, however, was made undei' the Fieri facias% S'X horses, five, cows, and a bible Ueing- fcaken. On the vftith of May, the Sheriff was ruled 4o; return the writ. Mr. Paleshall did not happen to he at . home at the time, but those who were aeiiihg for hiiji"^ under an impression that tiie money woul( i be piiid'jnunedi- ately, returned that a levy had heeii made, \) fn that the goods remained iu his hands for want of. buyers On Friday, the 19th of June, a writ of Venditioni Exponas was left at the Under sheriff's ofSce, - retiirli- able on Sunday, the 2Jst. Mr DanseyV residence being at a distance of twenty, miles from. Hereford, Mr. Pateshall found it impossible to make a sale of the gotids before the return and, being in some difficulty as to the proper course to be adopted, he drew up a case for the opinion of a special pleader, and sent ex- press to town to get an opinion immediately. In the mean time he sent word to the Coroner, that if an at- tachment came against the Sheriff to let him in order that he might pay the money. That circum- stance had been made use of hy Mr. Downes . for- the purpose of ehaiging collusion between Mr. Pateshall and the Coroner, though it was the course^ ns^ lly adoptedin cases where there was reason to fXpec) an attachment against the Sheriff' On the 2& Vof June, the Sheriff' was ruled to reiuru the writ of Venditioni Exponas. The special pleader having advised a similar return to that made to the Fieii faciai, that return was made on the - 29ih- Ju* ne, and on the foilOw- ng day ihe Sheriff was served wiih a process at the suit of Mr. Anderson. Mr. Pateshall then resolved not to pay the money until a writ of enquiry had b? en executed ; that proceeding took place, and the Jury gave ( in addition to the £ 216) £ 12, as - damages for the prejudice the party had Sustained in being kept out of his money. Before the present application against Mr. Pateshall was made the whole had been paid amounting to £ 310, was this then a case in which the Court would entertain au application to strike an Attorney of the Roll of the Court for alledged miscon duet? It might have been proper for Mr. Pateshall to have applied to the Court to enlarge the time to return the writ, but he acted under the advice of a special pleader, and there was no pretence for saying that he had been influenced by improper motives ; besides his own affidavit, Mr. Pateshall had the affidavits of many noblemen and gentlemen of the county, who had known him long, and, who all testified to his most respectable characier, and to the good opinion they all entertained of him. Mr. For. f BTT followed shortly on the same side. Mr. GURNKY, in support of the rule said—>*' In an- swer to a very short affidavit founded on a very few facts, not one fact which we have stated, being denied, this gentleman has thought proper to go a very great length. Your Lordship will see what a mockery th « warrant and levy is— a mockery as great as ever look place. I say, in answer to a very short and plain statement of facts which might have been answeretl as shortly and simply, this gentleman has gone into a prodigious quantity of matter in no less than thirty affidavits, containing every thing that could be raked up against the plaintiff, Mr. Anderson, and if I am rightly informed, doing that which the Court knows is very easy to be done, telling a part of the truth, and concealing other parts; they have gone into all the previous actions against Mr. Dansey, and the taxation of the bills, without lettingyour Lofdshps know what the real fact was. The damages in the suit brought by Mr. Anderson were reduced, not because the bill was unreasonable, but because ( in truth) it was consi- dered by the Prothonotary, as to a great part of the charge, that Mr. Dansey was not liable hi the first place, but that Mr. Anderson's remedy must be against a Mr. Miles Adams, and he must have his remedy against Mr. Dansey. All this is introduced, merely for the purpose of slandering ihe character of the plaintiff'. If you take the real facts of the case? they will amount shortly to this : That on the 19th* of May, at an early hour iu the morning, a wriiis received by the Under- Sherifl' to levy £ 216. Now, what did lie do? He says, " 1 did issue my warrant to two bound bailiffs accordingly, and also to my clerk, Mr. RnsseH.^ But Mr. Russell alone is sent, as he says, from i^ oij.^ s of delicacy. I find no fault with him for takiug^ care; of his friend ; I find no fault with it being done with delicacy and propriety ; but how is it done ? Why, I will tell your Lordships— by the clerk going over, us he says, and levying on six horses, five cows, and a bible. He puts the bible into his pocket in the name of the houses and cows, and rides back to Hereford, leaving the horses and cows, the only available pro- perty, behind him : there they are left without any one in possession. I say, my Lords, it is a mere pretence of a levy, and that he only did this to endea- vour to avoid an action. My Learned Friend says, we were in a prodigious hurry. Mr. Pateshall ex- presses great anxiety ; he says he was most desirous to pay the money. Why, nothing was more easy than for him to have done so. He receives the Vendituvhi Exponas on the 19th June, and on the: 23d he is ifuled to make a return, and instead of sending jigain tvu- bis client ( for Mr. Dansey himself said he did uot; k « oiw of it)— instead of sending to him in order to levy. and sell, or doing . anything whatever to recoverable money, he did — what? He sent to his agent i( t . ton- don to consult a Special Pleader how he could rnal^ e a return, so as to avoid an actton. I do think that* is about as gross a. case as I ever met with. He Onfy begs to learn how he can evade the process of the law, and defeat a creditor. My Lords, I will read lit* own affidavit, that I may not do him injustice; Hte • ay « , 44 that receiving the writ on the 19th of June, returnable on the 21st, and feeling at a loss how to act under the circumstances, and being anxious to avoid any impropriety of conduct, he did, on the 23d of June ( being served with a rule to return; thai writ), send the same to his sgent, informing him of the case, and that he had not received the money froto Mr. Dansey ; if, therefore, a return that the goods were still held for want of buyers could be legally made without subjecting the Sheriff to an action, let such return be made ; but if not, then that a return of levied should be made." Now I should have thought that a man who meant to dis- charge his duty could not feel at a loss how to act. Why did he not do as he was directed by that writ? The rule was served on the 23d, and had six days to run. What dW he do in those six days? he neither sold nor attempted to sell, nor sent to Mr. Dansey for the money; for Mr. Dansey him. • elf swears he did not know of the writ of Venditioni Exponas, till long after.; therefore, there can be no doubt that this is as deliberate and false a return as ever any public officer made: it was done'wilfully and with aggravation, for it was done after consulting a professional man in London how he could do it to avoid the process of the law. I think this gentleman has by no means delivered himself from the imputation of a gross violation of his duty. Then, says my Learned Friend, he has suffered from it. An action had been brought against the Sheriff by Mr. Anderson, and damages recovered, that is to say, the interest and the costs of the Venditioni Exponas only. Mr Pateshall has not stated'thal he has been one siagle shilling out of pocket by that action, or that lie has not. been indemnified by Mr. Dansey; and I think we can come to no other conclusion than he has for introducing it himself: he does notstate the contrary; there- fore I do think that this gentleman has not in any degree freed himself from the imputation which has been cast upon him. He has taken advantage of his public situation to gca. tify his private feeling; he has assisted his client by delaying a creditor, and tliat. bv very unjustifiable means, with respect to that office which " he ought to luve executed with impar- tiality. Mr. What els: Y followed shortly on the same side, and con- tended,, that what had been done never would have occurred unlets Mr, Dansey had been Mr. Pateshall's own client, unless Mr. Pateshall had been the Under- sheritf, and probably it would not have occurred unless Mr. Anderson had been" the plaintiff in the cause. Lord T. BNTiiSOtfN ( after their Lordships' had conferred) said, that he was satisfied that this was not a case in which the Court could order Mr. Pateshall to be struck off the roll. The only doubt lie felt was as to the costs of the application, and-, after due consideration and communication with his Learned Brothers, he thought they ought to discharge the rule without ^ he Court could not but take notice that this is an ap- plication by one attorney against another. The attorney who had sSiie<] out the execution which had been put into the Uisder- she: iff's hands on the 19th ( returnable on the 24th) had used a c of expedition not usually adopted, except when the i item ion was to give the party as little time as possible, and drive him into a corner. The Venditioni Exponas might have been issued as of Easter Term, and made returnable, so as to have " fiveu the Under- sheriff eight or ten days, to have so'd. ii. sead of one or two. If . there had been nothing to blame on Mr. PatesJmll's part, the Court would have discharged the rule With costs; but he ( Lord Tenterden) thought there wa sosnrthl. tu m Mr. PanwhaU's conduct to blame. He did not find fault with hii'n for sending his clerk to inform Mr. Dansey of the writ, against him, nor for not having left the man in possession. If lie thought fit he might do so, he did it at his own peril ; but when he comes to make a return ( for, notwith- standing tiie observations of Mr. Follett, it is his return, al- tliOiiffh not actually mAde by himself) he alleges falsely, that he has put up the goods for sale ; and, with respect to that false allegation, he ( Lord Tenterden) thought Mr Pateshall was to blame, aud, the, efore, they discharged the rule without costs.

BIRMINGHAM.— On Monday, the 25th ultimo, a public meeting was held in Birmingham, at which the chair was taken by Mr. Muntz. The number of persons present is variously calculated at from 10,( 700 to 15,000, and it comprised some of the most re. spect- able mercantile names in England. The speakers were the Chairman, Mr. J. Scholefield, Mr. Redfem, Mr. Aftw6od, Mr G. Edmonds, Mr. J. Parkes, and a few others— and the speeches were animated enough. It was proposed and carried almost unanimously, that a political union of all classes should be effected, and a council to inquire, consult, consider and determine, and report from time to time upon the rights of the people, and upon the political measures which it may- be legal and advisable to have recourse to, appointed. — We shall not say very much as to this Council, because we heartily confess that we do not believe in the durability of such institutions. It is the meeting itself, and the speeches delivered there, that bestow it all ihe importance it possesses.— In the first pla- cl- we have it here recorded as the unanimous opinion ( for on this point there was no difference of sentiment) of a very large body of people in a most intelligent town, led by some of the greatest merchants and manufacturers of the Empire, that the distresses of the Country; arc unparalleled ia extent and intens- ity. It is also recorded as their opinion, with very little opposition^ that the distrc. ss is attributable to the measures of Government. Of the truth of the first of these propositions no persons are better qualified to judge, from experience and ability— and whether they are correct or not in the second,, it is a serious matter for the Government of the Country to reflect that such an opinion is held, not by party fanatics, not by the dross and scum of radicalism, not by men who make a trade of political agitation, or who by habits or desires are inclined to throw unnecessary obstacles in the way of those who manage State affairs— but by persons whose stake and interest in the preservation of well- being and good order are great and direct, whose politics lead them to look habitually with hope or affection on the prosperity of their Country, and who are in fact driven by necessity to act in a manner quite contrary to their usual practice, and to come forward in a character not at all consonant to the tenour of their lives. It is the opposition of such m£ n, temperately and calmly conducted, that Ministers have to dread, and if dis- content spreads among thent, there is no power in the State that can withstand it— certainly there is none that oupht. The Duke of Wellington, in his reply to the Memo- rial of the Magistrates of Berkshire, relative to the distressed state of agriculture and trade, merely re- marks, that lie " will submit the statement of their observations,! feelings, and opinions, to his Majestyrs servants."

On Thursday se'nniglit was found, hy a carpenter named Charles Burton, employed to take down a barn at Netherwood, in the parish of Oddingley, Worcestershire, the skeleton of a man buried under the barn floor. His shoes were nearly perfect, and a two- feet rule by the side of the thigh bones not the least decayed. The person who found the remains is- the brother- in- law of Richard Hemming, late of Droitwich, carpenter ; and he knew the skeleton to be that of his brother in- law. Hemming, the supposed murderer of the Rev. George Parker, of Oddingley, who was murdered whilst walking in his own ground, in the afternoon of the 24th of June. 1806; and a reward of one hundred guineas Was then offered by the magistrates of the county for the apprehension of the said Richard Hemming. Upon examination of the body of Mr. Parker, it appeared probable that the murderer did not quite effect his object when he shot the unfortunate gentleman ; for the latter bad evidently been beaten about the head with the butt- end of the gun, which was broken ; one part of it onlj, in his tenuis the murderer put into his bag, which he dropped in his hurry to escape, and it was picked up by some persons who instantly came to the spot on hearing an exclamation of distress. On the day fol- lowing the murder an inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of Wilful Murder against some per- son unknown, was returned. But although the evidence was not clcar enough to warrant the jury in fixing the guilt on any individual, the description given of the murderer's person, his being missing from the neighbourhood after the time of the murder, and other circumstances, left little dotibt that Richard Hemming was the murderer. It was believed at the time that Mr. Parker, who had lived upon very bad terms with some of his parishioners, had been mur- dered from motives of revenge, and that Hemming had been employed t © effect his destruction. Years rolled on, and the subject comparatively died away. But, contrary to all anticipation, after the lapse of three and ticenty years ! the body of the murderer has been discovered— discovered, too, under circum- stances which seem to afford dreadful evidence that, after he had been employed by others to effect the murder of a feilow creature, he himself, by the retri- butive award of Providence, fell by the hand of a murderer ! Indeed, there remains little, if any doubt, that this was the awful fate of this wretched instru- ment in the hands of others yet more abandoned than himself ! On the leftside of the forehead of the skeleton, and in other parts, the skull is fractured into more than twenty fragments - such must have been the violence of the blows! The grave was exactly of the same length as Hemming's body.— It seems probable that the miserable wretch was made away with soon after he had murdered Mr Parker. He might have required more as a reward for blood than his diabolical employer thought him worthy of; or, what is more probable, the chance of his detection, after the hue and cry that had been raised against him, rendered it imperious that he should not be forthcoming. The spot where the body was discovered havihg been minutely examined, the bones, together with the rule, & c. were removed to Worcester; and Mr. Smith, the Coroner, very properly summoned as witnesses every individual likely to throw light upon the subject, with the view, not only of identifying the body, but also in the., hope that some facts might be elicited which might clear up the circumstances of one or both the murders. The inquest commenced on Tuesday morning, at the Talbot, in the Tvthing, near Worcester; and in the evening the Coroner adjourned the investigation until Friday morning last, to give time for the production of more wit- nesses. The evidence already produced lias clearly identified the remains discovered in the barn to be those of the body of Richard Hemming, the alleged murderer of Mr. Parker; and it has also led to the implication of a respectable person, who died a few years ago, at nearly 90 years of age, as being the principal or agent in this diabolical tragedy. There are others, however, still alive, whose names have been mixed up with these barbarous transactions; and it is generally anticipated that this enquiry will lead to proceedings before another . tribunal*. One circumstance which transpired in evidence is worth recording. Some time after Hemming's disappear- ance, a rumour of his murder was current, and that, his body was concealed in a clover- rick standing at Oddingley Church Farm ( occupied by the. late Capt. Evans), six or seven years after the murder of Mr. Parker. In consequence, a warrant was granted to search ; but when the constables went for this pur- pose in the morning, they found that the rick had b* en totally removed by some invisible power during the night! The jury adjourned at a late hour on Friday night until yesterday, and as there were yet fifteen or sixteen witnesses to be examined, it was expected that the inquest would still occupy two or three days more. Several important facts were adduced on Friday, and upon a deposition of the foreman of the jury, that the evidence induced him to beliete that Thomas Clewes, of Oddingley, farmer, had a guilty knowledge of the murder y that indi- vidual was tafcen into custody, and committed for further examination ( in Friday next.— Clewes, in 1806, occupied the farm upon ' which the barn stood under which the skeleton was found.

The following portions of the evidence adduced brfore the Coroner will tend to elucidate the preced- ing statement: ELIZABETH NEWDF. RY being first sworn, saith,— I live in the parish of St. Martin, city of Worcester, widow. In tbe month of June, 1806, 1 was the . wife of Richard Hemming, of Droitwich, carpenter and wheelwright. On the 24th of June, 1806, he left the house about half past five in the morning, and I never saw him after. He took with him an old dark blue topcoat; I cannot recollect what his small clothes were that morning, but he generally wore buckskin or corduroy. When he first got out of bed he said it was late; I said that it was early enough— it was about half past four. He then asked me where im dark- blue coat was; I asked what he wanted with that coat, and he replied that he was going to do a dirty job for Captain Evans. Capt. Evans then lived at the Church Farm, Oddingley. I asked what dirty job, and he replied to take some poles out of a pool. He immediately left home, and 1 have never seen nor heard of him since. He took nothing with him as I am aware of; he once had a gun, but it had not been in the house for a long time, and he told me he had sold it. He was in the habit of carrying a rule in his pocket, and I believe he took it with him that morn- ing. It was a common slide rule, and there was a small flaw in it at the top. The flaw had been in the rule some time, next the rivet. ( The rule found was here handed to the witness, and she examined it closely ] It is my firm belief that this rule formerly belonged to my late husband, Richard Hemming. My husband's height I knew not, but I recollect be was drawn for the Militia in 1806. He did not serve, being under the standard. [ The standard was, at the period in question, 5 feet 4 inches.] He was round- featured, bushy hair, had a full mouth, and good teeth. He wore a round hat, had a short foot, and rather walked on his heels; he wore nails in his shoes always?. [ The witness's attention was now directed to the skull and shoes, and the jaws of the former were placed together by Mr. Pierpoint, sur geon.] The month greatly resembles that of my late husband, Hemming, in its general appearance, and the shoes, I have no doubt, are those worn by him on the morning of the day on which Mr. Parker was murdered. [ The witness, at this stage of the enquiry, displayed, as might have been expected, from the peculiarly painful situation in which she was placed, considerable emotion, and nearly fainted. She soon, however, recovered, and continued to go on with her evidence with great propriety and clearness.] THE CORONER.— Gentlemen of the Jury, I wish now to take your opinion as to whether you are satisfied these bones and remains are those of Richard Hemming. The Jury expressed themselves perfectly satisfied upon this point. Examination of Mrs. Newbury resumed.— About dusk at night of the 24th of June was the first I heard of my husband being suspected of having mur- dered Mr. Parker. Mr Allen, of Droit wich, ciime to my house the same evening, and asked for my husband, who was not at home. He called several times; lint the third time he called he told me very reluctantly what his business was, and searched the house. My husband bad. been accustomed to work for several people at Oddirrgley at that time ; there were 22 or 23 days' work put down on a piece of paper, which he had done in Oddingley for Mr. Evans. He used to take his tools with him some- times, Thomas Clewes, of Notberwood Farm, was in the habit of coming to my husband during; the three months preceding the 24th of June. Tfiihks he was there within a week before; but cannot recollect the precise day on which he last came. I am quite aware of my husband having been suspected of murdering Mr. Parker, and there was great search for him- The Magistrates assembled, and there was a large reward offered for bis apprehension. Not being discovered, 1 always believed he was murdered by those who employed him. I know that a clover rick was for some time standing on the Church Farm, in the parish of Oddingley, and having a suspici( K^, « f mv husband Was under that clover rick, \ rtt- before the Mhgiiittiites at Droitwich, and deposed to that effect*' A Dvarrant was grunted for the search of the rick bn the 29th of March, lSlfi, but the following flay, when the constables went to make the search, the rick had been removed, as was then conjectured, in the night. There was no one ( o give any account how or w here it was removed. The constables dug the ground on which it stood, but found nothing. The farm was then held by Mr. Bainctt. This rick was put up by Capt. Evans the third day after Mr. Parker's murder. Two years aft rward* Capt. Evans left the Church Farm, and was succeeded in it by Mr. Barnett, who took the rick in question. There were two persons named Clcwes ( brothers) living at Nether- wood Farm in 1806; but whether it was the oldest or youngest whom I was in the habit of seeing with mv husband, I cannot say. My husband told me, several evenings be was absent, he had been with Clewes. I do not recollect any other person besides Clew s coming from Oddingley after my husband. I never heard my husband mention 1 lie Rev. Mr. Parker's name, and was not aware that he knew him. Since the murder of Mr. Parker, I have had ho communi- cation from or with any'of the party suspected. My late husband ( Hemming) was, at the time of his leaving me, 34 years of age. He left me with three children, all of w bom are since dead. I married three years, after my late husband's ( Hemming) supposed death. He. bad little or no money about him when he left hfftHe'dii the morning of the. murder. 1 have no recollection of any of the money produced. [* This deposition was made March 29, lSIfi, before VV. Smith, H. Bromley, E. M. VVigley, Esqrs. and the Rcvds. R. Pyndar, C. Whitehead, and T E. Miller, It states, that about three days after the murder of Mr. Parker Capt. Evans had a clover- rick made, and that when Capt. Evans quitted the farm, about two years afler, he sold the rick to Barnett, the succeeding tenant; that the clover- rick was still standing, and had been thatched; and that the general opinion was, that Hemming's body had been concealed under it. At the date of this deposition Henuning's widow had been married to Edward New- bury, of Droitwich, about seven years.] RlCHJRn BARNEBT, Esq. Coroner at the Inquest held at Oddingley, in the month of June, 1806, pro- duced an account of Hemming's day- work up to the 20th of June, 1806; the last fourteen days were charged to Capt. Evans, at 2s. 6d. per day. GEOKGK DAY, of Stock Green, labourer.— I lived with Mr. Parker at the time he was murdered. I was in the hiibit'of collecting his tithes. Sbme of the parishioner* • iver* at variance with iny master, on accolifetiftf his collecting { lie tilhes. Thomas Clewes, of Nettie riviiod Farm ; Mr. John Barnett, of Odding- ley fWf Mr Evans, were at variance with him on that fcnilit. CilEliitNGWORTti, of Newtown, near Wpyceste^ labourer.. I worked for Capt. Evans, in the ha£ wsi: of 1806. I was reaping with John Tuvtin for Capt, JEVJIE* irt that year A shower of rain came on, nnd. ivc went into the church porch for shelter. This was after the murder of Mr. Parker. I looked up to the roof of the porch, and said to Tustiri, it was not an unlikely place for Hemming to be in. I did not say to Tustin that when the men went to search Capt. Evans's house, Hemming went out at the front door as the men came in at the other, and hid himself under the boltings in the bafn. I found a saw and a broad axe ia the barn, and took them to Capt. Evans, and told him I found them in the bottom of the bay of wheat. Tbey were rather rusty, and 1 thought they were Hemming's. 1 gave them to the Captain,, and never saw them after. I know that Hemming had worked there. 1 never said' that Capt. Evans dared not send me to gaol, nor that I could say two words that would hang the Captain. 1 know Sarah Tustiii. 1 never told hrr that Hemming concealed himself in Ihe ham- I never saw Mr. Clewes at Capt. Evans's but once; that was after the murder. 1 have not seen Mr. Thomas Clewes to- day. I know Charles Burton- I never said to him that 1 had been had up before Mr. Pyndar three times, but that tbey should not get any thing out i> f me. 1 kn? w Hem- ming by sight. 1 have not had any conversation with Mr. Barneit or Mr. Thomas Clewes. I have not - spoken to Mr. Barnett for twenty years. I do not know any of the servants who lived wiih Capt. Evans at the lime George Banks worked there. [ This witness gave his testimony in a very unsatis- factory and contradictory manner ] SUSAN SIIRMAN, of Swinesherd, spinster.— I well reniemiwr the murder of the Rev. Mr. Parker, which took place on Ihe 24lh of June, 1806. I was then servant to Mr. John Barnetl, of Oddingley. I was in the habit of fetching Mr Barnett's cows up from a gronpd called Wash Pools, adjoining a ground of Mr. Parker's, who had milking cows in that field, called the Glebe. Mr. Parker's man used to fetch his cows up in the morning t;> be milked, and Mr. Parker took them back. Sir. Parker used to fetch them in the evening. A man was used to meet me always about the same place. The man I used to meet was Richard Hemming, as 1 afterwards learnt, but he would not tell me his name, or where he lived. For three weeks previous to Che murder, night and morning, he used to w^ lfe » u » and down the meadow called tl. e Middle W ash Pool. He came, as his conduct led me to suppose, til . court ilie. Mr. Parker, when lie came to fetch his cows, ciWie down on the other side the hedj"?-" ' II'was only the hedge and ditch that parted them: Hemming had walked there so much that he had rtiade. qjiite a path. in.~ the mowing grass. It leads • to no ' pface. Hemming used lo come down to the place where 1 drov- e the cows through. 1 have com- plained of Hemming detaining me to Mr. and Mrs. Harnett, they only " scoffed" at it. 1 never saw Mr. Parker come along under the hedge when Hemming was in the mowing grass. I heard the report of a gun about ft o'clock on Midsummer- day, and the cry of murder I did not see H emming that even- ing. I was not many yards off Mr. Parker when the gun was fired. I was the last Mr. Parker spoke to. Hemming used to n- k me if I had ever seen Clewes go to Mr Burnett's. I saw Mr. Clewes near the end of Mr. Burnett's stable on the morning of the day the parson was shot, and Clewes said to some person with him, " he should be very glad to find a dead parson in Oddingley when he came home from Bromsgrove fair."—[ Here a general thrill of horror pervaded the room.] — He ( Clewes) was waiting for old Mr. Har court, to go with him to the fair. Mr. Harcourt's servant was along with me. She is since dead lam certain CJew. es made use of these words 1 was not many yards off him. I have fold it to Mr. Barnett. I have not had any conversation with Mr. Barnett lately. 1 told it to Mr. John Barnett that night, after Mr. Parser shot. " He did not seem alarmed. I have thrown this in the teeth of the parish officers, when they have refused me parish relief. The Rrv. Mr. Pytidar,' a Magistrate, came into Mr. John Bar- nett's fold- yard that evening, and saw me, and asked me if Mt'. John Barnett was at home, and 1 said he was. H5 rfent to the kitchen door and knocked, and Mrs. Baffictt opened it. Mr. Pyndar then asked her where her son John was ; she replied he was gone to the Captain's ( meaning Captain Evans's). Mr. Pyndar then came bark lo me, and said " you have been telling me a tale — Mr. John Barnett is not at home." I said I bail not at all, for lie is in the parlonr, as he had just put his head out of the window and told Tustin to go to his stable, and me to mind my milking. Mr. Pyndar then got off his horse, went to the house, and fetched him ( John Burnett) out of it, putting his arm over Mr. Barnett's shoulder. Mr. Parker's body was being carried in a great chair at the time, and Mr. Pyndar asked Mr. John Barnett if he knew any thing of that, job ? Mr. Barnett said no ; be was very sorry it had happened. Mr. Pvtldlir then left Mr. Barnett, and went down to the parson's with the corpse. Hemming was used to dress in a dark blue coat, red handkerchief, corduroy small clothes, and light shoes. The gun was broken in two or'three places, and taken to Mr. Burnett's house.. Jt- ivfls brought in a bag, which had Richard HemmSng . upon it; Mrs. Perkins brought a horse, ready Saddled and bridled, for Mr. Burnett's servant, Jame* Tustih, to go in search of Hemming ;" but Mr. Burnett would not let him go. He said he ba'd siime- lhiiig,,£ ji for1 him to do than galloping about the country sfter people. This was less than an hour after the murder. Mr. Woodward, of Mucknall, and another, offered to go with Tustiu iu search of Hem ming ; as did also Mr. Hemus, but they would not go without Tustin, as they did not know Hemming. JOSEPH COLLET, who deposed as follows:— 1 live at llinlip, and I am A labourer. My h ittse is near Oddingley. I lived there in June, 1806, an'fl I re- collect the murder of Mr. Parker, whom I knew v = ry well, as well as all who lived in the parish. About a fortnight before lie was killed, I was working for Mr. Pool, making hurdles. Whilst at work, Mr. Parker came to me several times, and once said, « Joe, I wonder what that Hemming is always skiilWna- about my glebe and in the lanes for, with something in a bag under his arm . like a gun." I said, '< VT. y, sir. he wants to shoot you" Mr. Parker replied, " Do you think lie does, Joe." I've Seen Hemming aud Clewes drinking together at the Red Lion, Ik- iit wich, two or three times before ( he murder of Mr. Parker; it might he about a fortnight or three weeks before. Clewes was treating and urging Hetnmiirg to drink, and said, " Here's to the death of Buonaparte of Oddingley." 1 knew that Mr. Parker, of O. ldin;- ley, was meant, but his ( Mr. Parker's) name was not mentioned. This was the last time I saw Clewes and Hemming together. Hemming was a bad ore. Hem- ming said be had a nasty job to do at Odditigley, but it was then too late to go about it. it was haif- paM five. Hemming addressed this last observation to all present; Clewes as well as Mrs. Cook, the landlady. 1 said rtofhing during the conversation. I knew ( here were then, and had been for some time, dis- putes between Mr. Parker and Clewes, and other parishioners, respecting the tithes. 5 never heard, npon either occasion of meeting H « inmii) ff: ind Clewes at the Red l- ion, the latter saying anything about Mr. Parker byname. When I saw Hemming lurk- ing about the lanes at Oddingley, he had always something in a bag like a gun. The conversation I had with Mr. Parker about Hemming, was after I had seen Clewes and Hemming together at the public- house I am 77 years of age this Christmas. Hem- ming came to ine about a week or live days before the death of Mr. Parker, and wanted to borrow my horse to go to Eckinglo I ; I did not lend it him. He had no big with him then. I do not know whether he ( Hemming) ever worked for Captain Evans or Mr. Parker. I do not know why I was not examined before the Magistrates on the inquiry into the death of Mr. Parker. I have frequently before stated what I now say. I have no spite against Clewes, and have worked for fcim since the murder. In common, Mr. Parker used to fetch up his cows about five in the evening. A woman named Sarah Fowler is living, and I have heard that she could speak to seeing Hem- ming, the morning after the murder, going towards Oddingley from the Trench Wood. WILLIAM ROGERS — I live at Dodderhill, and am a labourer. I have never been examined before. In the month of June, 18H6, I lived at Hinlip. I knew nothing of the murder, except what I have heard my son in- law, Henry Halbert, say, who lived at the time in the service of Capt. Evans. The following Sunday after the murder, 1 heard him say that he saw Hemming at Capt. Evans's house the night the murder was committed; he said it was after the murder. Halbert. was then about 12 years of age, hut he is now dead. He ( Halbert) did not say any one else was there. I ( witness) said nothing ^ about what Halbert said. WILLIAM SMITH.— In the month of June, 1806, I livetl with Mr. Thomas Clewes, of Netherwood Farm, Oddingley, as cowman, and helped to thrash and do the general work. 1 am now a labourer in the service of Mr. Berkeley, of Spetchley. 1 recollect on Mid- summer- day, 1806, my master telling me that he had heard the parson of Oddingley was shot. We were together ill the kitchen ; it was before we milked. I cannot recollect the precise time ; it was before six o'clock, I think. It was the day of Bromsgrove fair ; my master did not go to Bromsgrove fair that day. I do not know how I was employed that day. John Clewos was present at the time. Thomas Clewes told us both of the murder; he tlid not say who told him of it. He seemed alarmed, and said he was sorry ; he seemed <= o to witness ; " he was cut." He did no| tell us who he thought had shot, the parson. I do not believe be went from home that evening. I have heard it mentioned that Hemming was the murderer. I cannot recollect that my master told me so the same night or the next day. Mr. Clewes's house is about a mile from where Mr. Parker was shot. My master sometimes came to Worcester market. I will. sivear my master did not go to Bromsgrove fair the day of the murder. He was dressed as usual on that day ; he was not absent from me long enough to go to Bromsgrove that day ; 1 cannot tell whether my master was in the habit of going to Bromsgrove fair or market. I saw Thomas Clewes this morning in this house ; I spoke to him, and he said he did not recollect me; nothing else passed between us. T might be with him ten minutes. Clewes' brother William, and his son, were present. I will not. swear that nei- ther of the Clewes did not say lo me Thomas Clewes was not at Bromsgrove fair. After being much pressed on this point, the witness at length said, that Thomas Clewes asked him ( witness) whether he recollected his ( Clewes) being at Bromsgrove fair. I ( witness) said 1 thought he was not ; and Thomas Clewes said he was not, and said, * you know, William, I was not at Bromsgrove fair that day.' [ The Coroner here directed that the Clewes should be kept apart from the witnesses, under Ihe care of a constable, and the witness was severely admonished by the Coroner.] Hemming's name was not mentioned by the Clewes this morning. Thomas Clewes remained at home the night of the murder, and did not go in search of the murderer. He did not ask or direct me to go in search of the murderer. He kept, a horse. John Clewes did not go. Thomas Clewes might have been absent two or three hours that evening, and I not know it. John Clewes took care of the horses. John Clewes and myself slept in the same room, in different beds. I do not know that any conversation took place between us in the night in question on the subject of the murder. I will swear to the best of my recollection that Hemming's name was not, mentioned by John Clewes that, night. I cannot positively swear that John ( lewes slept in the room that night. 1 believe he was out. I believe him to have been in the house, because he was with his horses in the morning. My master's room is some distance from where I slept. Cannot tell whether my master and myself went up the same stairs to bed. There was a passage between master's and my bed- rooin. I now recollect we all went up one pair of stairs lo bed.— [ The continued contradictions of the witness in his testimony, and his evasions, here called again for the rebuke of the Coroner, and he was ordered to with- draw with a constable for a time ] THOMAS COLWELL.— 1 live at Tihberton ; I am a carpenter. 1 recollect, in the evening of Tuesday, the 24th of June, 1806, seeing Richard Hemming, of Droitwich. I was examined on the inquest held on the 25th of June, 1806, before Mr. Barneby, on the body of the Rev. Mr. Parker, at O Idingley. The depositions made by the witness before the inquest were here read to him, and he assented to their truth. They were to the following effect:— About six in the evening he met Hemming, whom he knew very well, about a mile and half from Mr. Parker's; he was coming through a thick hedge, from one field into another, although a gate was close by. He appeared much confused and pale, seemed fatigued, and had Dn a long blue great coat and round hat. He accosted witness as he passed, walking fast, and told witness not to describe him to any body, as two men were then afler him ; Hemming then went on towards Himhleton. I was then a publican. JOHN COLLINS.— Lives at Bradley Green- In the month of June, 1806, 1 lived with Mr. Thomas Clewesj at the Nelherwood Farm, Oddingley. I well remem- ber the murder of Mr. Parker. I was informed of it the same evening, whilst I was returning from Had- dington Mill. When 1 got home, about nine o'clock at night, it being then dusk, I found the house shut up and all closed. The brewhouse was shut up, and curtains all drawn. My master, Thomas Clewes, seemed much confused aud cut up, as if he had lost a friend. My master said very little to me; he com- plained of my being so long away about the grist. Nothing was said hy either of us about Mr. Parker's murder; I had my supper and went to bed. The other servants were a bed. John Clewes slept with Harding, and I slept with Smith. There were two beds in the room. I was then about 16 years of age. John Clewes was gone to bed. There was nothing, as I recollect, said about the murder by any of us in the night. 1 have not seen anything about Thomas Clewes for a long time before to- day. He asked me this morning- whether I did niit live with him at the time the parson \ vas shot. 1 knew Hemming, and have seen him at Clewes's; lie was there; on. the Sunday morning before the murder; it was between breakfast time an I church time. I saw Hemming the first time that morning and Thomas ( lewes in a foot- path leading into the inside of the Trench Wood, talking together, 1 was then in search of sheep. When thny saw me they did not appear surprUed. When I went towards them they walked away. Neither had any thing with them. I never before saw them to- gether near that wood. It might be t* efv£ before I hey came home ; it was about three parts of an hour from the time I saw them near the Wood/ I do not know whether Clews occupied the w6od or not. Hem* ming staved but a short tinte ; heard nothing of what passed between them, further than C. lelyes Said at parting, good morning, Hemming. Hemming had been at Clewes's, backwards and forwards, a fortnight or iltree weeks before. Hemming) to ( lie best of mv reuiviiibr- anee, did not work for Thomas f leu es. | never had any conversation with the t lewes about Hemming, arid the tnurder of Vir. I'. irk'T. I thought at the tim'e of the murder, Hemming liad been hired to do the murder. 1 thought also fmjti bavUng seen Hemmirrg and ( leWrs, n; f master, together on the previous Sunday, as I have described, that Thomas '* li » wes knew something of the murder, and that is file reaa. ni I said nothing about i. t. I am certain^ when I returned home on the night of the murder, that my ntastef said nolhiitg ahbuf It. I hearfl no noise in the night. I know that great search was made after Hemming at the time, 1 thought he had run away. Never heard the ( lewes say liny tiring about him. 1 left Clewes's service the Michaelmas of 1806. He made no request to me to say nothing about having neon him and Hemming together. There was no corn, in . either bay of the barn nearest the house on the 2tth of June, 1800; there might be some rough straw there. Thomas Clewes had two ot three children; the eldest was John; he might be about 7 years of age. In the time from the 24th Of* Jnne, 1806, until the Michaelmas I left, I think the bay of the barn was cleaned out once for harvest, but. I cannot say by whom. I never beard a moaning or cry of murder from the barn I recollect assisting in putting marl into the barn. I got it by desire of my master. It was got out of a field near home, ' aster said he should put it in the barn lo rrtake the bay level. It was put down near the doors at the side next fold in the bay nearest house ; this was after Mr. Parker's murder, anil I should think more than a week than less before harvest. T. Clewes carted the marl away. I went to work between 6 and 7 in the morn- ing. We drew six cart loads. When I returned home from the pit at twelve o'clock, I found that some of the marl had been put. in the bay of the barn, and some in the front of Ihe honse. I canhot tell who put. the marl in the ham. John Clewes was at the time at plough in a field a quarter of a mile from the house, and Harding with him. I do not know where Smith was. He was not thrashing in the barn, be- cause I here was no com to thrash. Those were all the male servants in Clews's service. The door of the barn next the pool was fastened with a rail inside. It did nol strike me that there was more marl put near the one door than the other. This bay was cleaned out before marl was put in. I saw that it was un- level. I never heard Thomas Clewes say he cleaned out the bay. There was no marl placed in the bay after I returned at twelve o'clock At harvest seed vetches were put into this bam. I believe it is usual to put vetches into a bam to thrash. T. Clewea would have had time to shoot the marl and level it, as well as cart it, whilst I was at the pit. Clewes in. carting did not always wait for a full load. In about a fortnight after this, we began to cut vetehes in a field opposite the ham, and near the hoose. An old man, named John Pardoe, the parish clerk, helped in cutting them. They were all made before carting. There were about two loads of them. The barn doors next the pool were opened, and the vetches taken in at them. The vetches were put in the bay next the pool, and occupied all across the bay. We were ordered by master to place them there. The vetches were thrashed out, and some of them planted before I left at Michaelmas. I think all were thrashed, hut cannot say. Those barn doors were generally* closed. The key of the barn was hung up in the house. If any of us wanted it we could have it. There was no one ever slept in the barn. At the time of mv leaving Clewes's service, my belief was that , Hemming was made away w- ith, and hid, but by whom I did not, know, or had any grounds for sus- pecting. I do not recollect my master, Mr. Thomas Clewes, ever mentioning Hemming's name: Master j used to come home late; sometimes from Worcester market. I know nothing about Captain Evans's I have never seen him with Captain Evans or. either John or William Barnett in the fields. I know there were disputes between Mr. Clewes and Mr. Parker about titiies. Words arose about the milk. None of the family or servants ever frequented Oddingley church ; my master told us he would not order us not to go, that we might go if we liked, but he had rather we should stop away. There was vnify one " pair of stairs in the house. 1 do not think Smith lived there after I left. Clewes had all fresh ser- vants. 1 never heard Thomas Clewes say there was no more barm in shooting a parson than a crow. I never beard him say there was £ ft0for a dead parson. I do not recollect my master's cattle dying away after the murder. EDWARD STEPHENS, of Crowle, aged 74.— T was once examined before on the inquest held upon the body of the Rev. Mr. Parker, who was murdered at Oddingley. On 24th of June, 1806, Pardoe the clerk' of Oddingley, asked ine to come with him to Worces- ter, for company, as he was going to have some bills printed about the murder. On our way Pardoe said to me he had heard of many heavy threatenings from Mr Thomas Clew'is respecting the Parson's murder, and he said he dare not say anything about it, as Clewes owed him ; £ 20 for in case I lewes was taken ttp and hanged he should lose all his money. Pardoe has been dead about 12 months. JOHN PERKINS, of Sile Green, Crowle About three quarters of a year before the 1- t of July, 1806, I was in Captain Evans' parlour, Oddingley Church Farm. Captain Evans, speaking of Mr. Parker, and the tithes of Oddingley, said \ lr. Parker was a very bad man, and there was nobody in the* parish excepting me ( witness), that agreetl with him, and said " damn him he is a very bad man, and there is no more harm in shooting him than a mad dog." I was at the Easter meeting of 1806, at the parish church, to pass the overseer's accounts. Mr. Parker, Mr. John Barnett, Mr. Thomas ' lewes, Mr. Jones, Mr Hurcott, the prime paymasters of the parish, were there. I went against my inclination to the dinner, at the request of Mr. Parker, as did also Mr. Hurcott. . There were present at the dinner, John and Thomas Clewes, Captain Evans, George and Henry Bankes, Mr. Hurcott, John and William Barnett, Mr. Jones, Mr Marshall, and Witness. Captain Evans was in the chair, and gave the health of Mr. Parker left- handed, and all drank it but poor Hurcott and me. A. Confusion took place on our refusal to drink it. Capt. Evans said, " Damn you, you ought to lie turned out ! of the room for not drinking tiie toast." I knew Richard Hemming. I have seen (.' lewes and Hem- ming drinking together at Droitwich about 6 months before the murder ( it might be less), and drank with them I saw Clewes pay for a quart of drink Hem- ming and Clewes had. WILLIAM SMITH was now called in again.— His first evidence being read over to liiin, he added— T was wrong when 1 said before that the only person who slept in the room with me was John Clewes. I do not 1 nolle t thrashing in the barn- since Mr. Parker's death. I will swear that 1 know nothing of the mur er of Hemming, and that 1 did not assist in putting his body in the barn. I never heard anv cries or alarm of murder from the barn. [ Capt. Evans was a Magistrate of Droitwich 40 years, and was formerly in the 80th Foot. He died in May, 1829,- aged 94 years.] INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.— Thomas Danily was heard before Henry Revetl Reynolds, Esq. Chief Commissioner,. ou the 8th of August, 1829, when he was opposed by Mr. Bather on behalf of his detaining and only creditor, Mr. John Williams, solicitor, Ruthin. The Commissioner decided that the in- solvent was entitled to his discharge, if his brother Commissioners concurred. Several endeavours we. rei afterwards made by motion and otherwise, in London, to obtain his discharge; at length a Rule Nisi was obtained, . to shew c use why the insolvent should not be discharged. Upon the matter being argued by Counsel on each side, the Commissioners unanimously gave ill their judgment, and on the 29th nit the rule was made absolute.— The. debt for which the insolvent was imprisoned amounted to £ 23. 13*. 4d. and was due for obtaining his discharge from Ruthin gu,| under the act, in February, 1828. Insolvent wa » committed on the 6th of May, 1829. LEASEHOLD PROPERTY.— It has been decided in the Vice Chancellor's Court, in the question of lease-' hold property bequeathed by a lady to her husband, that the words devising all the " real and personal estate, and all property whatever of which she is possessed, to her husband for life, and subsequently to be divided among the children," were not sulhuent to pass leasehold property.

Sill THOMAS LAWRENCE. To the Editor of ihe Salopiun Journal. SIR, It was about the year 1783- 4, that 1 spent 111 whole winter and spring iu Ihe ci'y of Bath, when a fortunate circumstance brought me acquainted with Mr. Lawrence, the father of the late Sir T Lawrence, President of the Royal Society for Painting, hut a reduced innkeeper of the Bear Inn at the Devizes, who, thinking to inend his fortune, and to give full scope to Ihe talents of his son Thomas, as au artist, while a child, judiciously settled at the above city. Thomas, though tne last and youngest of all his children, appears to have been first in the affections of the old man, and t have enjoyed all that genius, knowledge, and good fortune, which Providence, from the earliest ages has ever delighted to dispense 011 younger brothers Like Moses, like Jacob, like Joseph, it was til fortune of Thomas " lo stand before kings," and by a touch of his wand or pencil, lo coutroul or command the destinies of others, incident will show that he could even give or re- fuse immortality as he chose it. 1 happened to be with Ihe family one evening, when a gentleman, who had just lost his friend by death, sent to Mr. Lawrence, then about 17, to come and lake his likeness; but, lie conceiving, with Lady Macbeth, " the sleeping and the dead but as pictures," ob- s r. viua such an attempt gave an artist 110 advan- tage, and how much he had suffered on a former occasion, was obliged lo decline it. Though naturally unaffected and obliging, he chose rather to reject ft or 111 guineas than to perform a task which could do his pencil no credit; a circumstance which looked as if the profits of his profession were then more than equal to all his family emergencies. The little pieces which he had painted at nine or ten years of age seemed to have proceeded from the hand of a master, and not of a child; but a large one of Christ bearing his Cross, and done when he was farther advanced in years, always appeared to me to resemble himself. I hough I endeavoured to doubt it as much as 1 could, 1 never beheld this piece, ( and behold it I did at many different times,) but its close resemblance lo himself rushed 01: my inind with fresh conviction; though what might have appeared impious, absurd, or ridiculous, iu an artist of a less graceful mien, and more years, might be deemed a piece of excusable sclf- loro in Sir Thomas. It has lately struck me, that the artist took his idea of Christ, as represented iu this pic ture, more from the account given of him io a h tier, said lo lie written by Publius Lentuliis, the Roma i Pro- Consul, then in Judea, to the Senate of Koine, mid inserted in the 4th volume of the Turkish Spy, thou from the book of Isaiah arid other portions of the Holy Scriptures. But if the words ot Isaiah ( liii, 2, & c.) are to stand good, this loiter must be a downright forgery ; and why may not the author, who succeeded so well in a previous forgery, succeed as well in this, the Scriptures being out of the question ? This, however, so far from' thwarting the views of the artist, has greatly assisted hiui5 who has painted a piece inferior to none of the kind. But do not all painters, it niuy be asked, deviate from the Prophet in painting on this subject; a mean or uncomely representation of Christ not being likely to suit popular opinion or the great interests of the art? The hair of the head of this piece was parted in the middle, as the letter describes, " after the manner of the Naza- reues;" and just as Mr. L. himself then wore his. It was not, however, dark as his, but light. The. complexion was wrought to the vermilion colour and fairness, asserted by Leutulus, with exquisite delicacy; which, with the lofty, round; open, and commanding brow, was all his own. The distance or breadth, however, if ! recollect right, was not so great between ! he two mamillaries or cheek- bones in the face of the picture as in that of the artist; the former, therefore, was in that respect nearer perfection, and more highly touched. When i saw his pictures some years after at his own bouse in London, with old Mr. Lawrence, this piece, from what cause I know not, did not appear. The same correct and skilful hand that made Sir Thomas so great an artist, rendered him the first billiard player in Batb, whenever be chose to de- scend to that species of amusement, so that very few dared to engage him, at least for any considerable take. The assertion, " That he could read Millon and Shakespear with power and effect," is, in some measure true; ( hough 1 only once heard him read he first, which he did with a clear, strong, and distinct voice, and with great propriety. Indeed, I have heard it observed of him, " That if his genius for painting had not beeii so great as it was, that old Mr. Lawrence, from his own love of Shakespear, would have seduced him lo the stage;" as a proof of which, 1 myself have heard him ex- laim, straining his eyes till they almost burst out ofliis head, so that tliey might give some faint idea f the more powerful and expressive ones of his son, " What an eye for an actor !!.'" as if the old gentleman had been struck lo the heart with a dag- ger. The son's execution was much beyond that of is father ; for though the latter was highly ani- mated, he was generally hoarse and monotonous in he greatest degree. If at any time he took a glass of wine with a friend or two, the circulation of it was generally crouned with " now, gentlemen, if you please, I will give you a speech," which, on the whole, was somewhat superior to that of the player ' ing in Hamlet. Sir Thomas's attachment to the tage appears, in a great measure, from the variety if interesting situations in which he was fond of aking particular great actors, such as Kemble and Mrs. Siddons in Macbeth; a spirit which lie, no doubt, first imbibed from Ihe theatrical dissertations f his sire. Ilia good fortune, or rather his genius, ecu me the means of his making a proviso!! for his parents, gaining promotion for his brothers, and settling his sisters comfortable in marriage. By your paper of the 20th of January, Mr. Editor, 1 am sorry to find that this family, which I once knew so well, are now almost all gone down to the ust: thai Andrew, the eldest, who was first curate of St. Philip's, Birmingham; William, who went uto Ihe army, mid rose to the rank of Major, both of them genteel and well- bred men, with their sister my, a woman of a very amiable and feminine demeanour, were all joined, as Young expresses it, " to the great majority;" and that none now remains but their sister Anne, a very engaging woman iu her youth, like Goldsmith's sad female, " Historian of the pensive plain." 1 have frequently seen both Lucy and Anneal Mrs. Nieklin's, who kept a large boarding school at Sutton Coldfield, ( where the latter was her assistant,) as well as at Bath. She excelled on the harpsichord, which she sometimes accompanied with a very pleasing voice. " Tristis senectus," sorrowful old age is an expression of one of the ancients; and if there were 110 other cause of sorrow to an old person, but the frequent deaths of early acquaintance, it would be sufficiently just from this cause alone. All this fainilv, whatever were their mental en- lowineiits, w ere remarkable for easy and pleasing manners, which they acquired, iu part, from their own good temper, and an early acquaintance with civilized life. Whatever « erroneous statements" the papers may have made of them, I know not; but, that Sir T.' s father was a reduced innkeeper from the Bear I1111, at the Devizes, is as sure a fact, as ( hat Sir Thomas himself was President of the Royal Society for Painting; and, indeed, when too many tarnish Ihe honours of the highest stations; when men of all sorts are failing on all sides in these perilous times, why should it be thought indecent to say, that Sir Thomas's father ( who was neither a publican nor sinner iu the tiue and gross sense of the word, but a very liouest man), was a reduced inn- keeper from the Devizes? ' Ihe Lives of Ihe Painters by Wulpole, will furnish many instances of as great, or still greater, parental obscurity than this. Mrs. Lawrence, the mother of Sir Thomas, uppeared a very active, industrious, and apprehensive woman, & one very well qualified lo lake the charge of a large Inn, such as the Bear at Ihe Devizes really was; yet some Papers take 110 notice of Sir Thomas's parents, as if he could be divinely born without, or, as if he was disgraced by them ; not considering that one who wrought much greater miracles than Sir Thomas ever did, and the most illustrious personage he ever painted, was accommodated only, while all infant, with the bare mar. ger of ihe stable of an Inn. They who think that by concealing these mat- ters they shall spare the reputation of a great man, certainly reason very wrong; as it has always been understood, that the more untoward or unfavourable the circumstances are under which he rises to fame, so much the more splendid will be his course at it: meridian height; and which, like the great orb of solar light, by driving the clouds and fogs, and every noxious vapour before it, very speedily clears up Ihe whole face of nature: such a glorious luminary iu llie art of painting was the self- taught Sir Thomas Lawrence. * I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, POSTHUMUS. Drayton, Jan. 27,1830. Universe is ' Lead us not into temptation ;' and are we to return thanks to our earthly governors for setting temptation before us to exercise our virtues?" " With this baneful tax, 1 propose also to abolish the assessed taxes, and, in their stead, to substitute a wholesome fair tax upon all real, funded, and pro- ductive personal property, equal in amount to the average collection of the excise and assessed taxes, with-. liberty of redemption on certain terms; by whii htneans, the productive property of the country would be ascertained, and its trade, commerce, and industry, in a considerable degree freed, and en- couraged to activity " " Sir John Barnard in 1737, moved for Ihe lowering of the interest of the debt, and the faking off such taxes as enhanced the price of labour. He says indirect taxation is a two- edged sword— it cuts boili ways, for they not only enhance the price of labour, but they diminish the number of our labourers. Ought we not to think and contrive all possible and feasible methods for removing the clogs upon trade, and for putting our people npon an equal footing with our neighbours, especially with those who are our greatest rivals ill trade and naval power? ' Tis true alt indirect taxes must fall upon the consumers at last, who must pay the increase of wages in the price of goods ; but the difference is, that a tax laid directly on the consumer prevents his growing rich so fast, or makes him live less luxuriously, hut does not enhance the price of your manufactures; whereas a tax laid on those things that are necessary for the support of the poor, enhance the price of labour, and consequently of all manufactures, both foreign and domestic, and at last ruins your trade. Therefore, if the poor of this country be more heavily taxed than the poor in any other country, it is what ought to be remedied as soon as possible, and the taxes upon the food and raiment of the poor, such as leather, malt, beer, & c. & c. he taken off. The continuance of such taxes must make the continuance of high wages necessary ; and the continuance of them will certainly bring the nation to poverty and distress. It seems to be giving to the rich, and sending the puor empty away ! Well might a patriotic bard exclaim— ' 111 fares the land, to lasting ills a prey, ' When wealth accumulates, ami men decay.' 11 The writer, in conclusion, observes—" What a state of societ y must that be where the laws of excise and assessed taxes expel ils people, and, Saturn like, destroys its own offspring, and sacrifices national morals and happiness to a symbol of national wealth, which will be found, when the hour of trial comes, as unsubstantial and delusive as those fruits of eastern fable, which were sn beautiful lo behold, but which turned into ashes upon the palate." Death of the first Earl of Sandwich— a piece of workmanship very much admired— is not destroyed, and only slightly damaged by removal. The mansion was insured in the Sun Fire Office for £ 6000, the household furniture for £ 1200, and the glass, & c. for £ 1000. The assistant- surveyor of the office was expected to arrive at Hinchinbrook 011 Sunday evening. The Earl of Sandwich ( who is a minor) was in Hampshire, and Was expected in the course of the week. An express was sent to London for Capt. Montagu, R. N. the receiver appointed for the estates of his lordship. Mr. Povntz, one of the trustees under the will of the late Earl, arrived at Hinchinbrook on Sunday evening, from Burleigh, here he was 0: 1 a visit. Hinchinbrook House was built on the site of an old priory founded by William the Conqueror, which in 1537 was granted by Henry VIII. to Richard Williams alias Cromwell, whose son Sir Henry, styled the Golden Knight, erected the family mansion licre, and in which he had the honour of entertaining Queen Elizabeth, after her visit to the University of Cambridge, in 1564. His eldest son and successor, Sir Oliver, lived here in such splendid style that he much reduced his fortune as to be under the necessity of selling Hinchinbrook, with all the lands near it, which he did to Sir Sidney Montagu, of Barnwell, Knt. one of the Masters of Requests to King Charles I., in whose family it still continues. OK FTIANCE. [ FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL.] Extracts from a Pamphlet lutein published, writ- ten by Edward Daniel, Esq. one of the Magistrates for ihe County of Hereford. The writer observes:—" The voice, or rather the groans of the country, having excited me to look into my collections upon the revenue laws relating to taxation, 1 shall, according to my declared intention, 1 he following I procecd to consider the nature and policy of those laws, their iAimense amount, and application ; and then suggest ( he immediate substitution of a PRO- PERTY tax, ill the stead of the revenue now deriveil from the ussessed tax assessment, and the excise laws The revenue laws affect property cither directly or indirectly ; the direct charge is laid on productive properly, and is paid by the proprietor out of his own income to the government for the protection and other advantages it affords him. The charge which is called indirect, ( for the purpose of distinction,) is that which is paid by Ihe proprietor of unproductive property, and is added to the price of the articles; and is, consequently, borne by the consumers. The first mode of taxation is natural, and, if levied in pro- portion to value, just ; the second mode is unnatural, and although levied in proportion to value, and therefore just, is nevertheless insidious, and may ultimately become dangerous to the society into which it is introduced. Now the first, wliich is the natural and ancient mode of raising money, for the support of government in this kingdom was never, exccpt during the Usurpation, departed from, till the 12 » h Charles II." Speaking of the excise laws, fhe writer goes on to say—" It increases the price of all the r. ccessarics of lite, as well as of manufacture, and consequently has a tendency, by reason of those high prices, to check industry and commerce, and thereby dry up the sources of profits to individuals, and of receipts into the Exchequer. This excise is stated by historians, to have reduced every countrv where ' it has been established to beggary. Even Spain, notwithstanding its large importation of ( he precious metals, has been reduced by it to the most deplorable condition." " The revenue of the excise, which 1 wish ( 0 abolish, is derived from the pockets of the labouring and ulher Industrious classes of manufacture, though 1, l l. v Paid by tbe consumers of the productions ot the soil, as well as of manufactures ; it therefore, hv raising the price, checks industry and commerce. 1 he establishment is large, for it pervades the whole country ; its jurisdiction requires vigilance, for it spreads temptation, and consequential restraint and penalties. Our daily prayer to the Governor of the Destructive Eire al Hinchinhrook, the Seat of the Eur I of Sandwich. About seven o'clock in the morning of Friday week fhe inhabitants of Huntingdon were alarmed by the cry of" Fire!'' and it was very soon known that that, destructive element was raging with great fury at tie baronial residence of the Earl of Sandwich, about a quarter of a nule from flic town, and numbers imme- diately flocked to the spot from thenee and the vil- lages adjacent. The engines belonging to the Sun nnd Royal Exchange Assurance Offices were soon on the .- pot; but it was some time before they could be brought into effective play, owing to the extensive hold the fire had obtained in the interior of the building, and to the partial supply of water before the wells could be opened. A little before eight o'clock the appear- ance was truly terrific, the flames issuing through the windows with awful grandeur, aud, when the roof gave way, ascending in immense volumes, whilst thev appeared, at the same time, to he rapidly extending in all directions, and every one deemed, at this period, that the entire destruction of the whole edifice was inevitable, the wind blowing rathe briskly from the south- east, and carrying the flames to the most extensive part of the building. In the mean time every assistance was rendered by the assembled multitude in removing the furniture from such of the apartments as had not yet taken fire; and t'ney happily succeeded in rescuing nearly the whole of the family paintings, valuable library, articles of taste and vertu ( many of thc- m but recently brought from Italy by the Countess of Sandwich) and a Considerable part of the furniture from the devonring element; but we regret to say that the family writings, title deeds, and other valuable papers, fell a prey to the flames. It is no more than matter of surmise in what part of the building the fire originated ; but it. is supposed, from, the direction in which it was first observed, that it commenced in the dining- room on the basement, and thence com multigated rapidly to the apartments above and to those adjoining, destroying in its progress the whole of fhe east front north of the billiard- room, and the north front ( facing the court- yard) as far as the kitchens; the spacious staircase, which had lately been improved at a considerable expense, the circula room, with its gilded roof and much- admired window, built iu 1602, remarkable for its richness of adorn- ment, and which gave light to the great dining- room ( since converted into sleeping and other apartments,) in which King James 1. was entertained by Sir Oliver Cromwell, the uncle of the Protector, are to be iium bered in the devastation. By about twelve o'clock the active exertions of the firemen and others were effectual in stopping the flames; but throughout the day, the engines beforementioned, as well as those from Godrnanchester, Buckden, and St. Neot' which had arrived in the course of the morning, con tiuued to play upon the burning heaps of beams and rafters; and thus, in about five hours, was one of the most ancient and splendid residences iu the county reduced to nearly a heap of ruins, the external stone and brick walls alone remaining; the front drawing- room, billiard- room, kitchens, servants' hall, private sitting- room, and the nursery and sleeping- rooms over, being nearly all that have escaped the destruc tion that threatened them; and these were so thoroughly dismantled of every thing moveable within them as to leave nothing but the bare walls remaining. During the whole of the morning, the gardens and lawn presented a strange scene of confusion. The splendid furniture scattered about in all directions, some of it mutilated by too hasty removal— marble chimney- pieces and tablets torn from the walls— paintings by Vandyck, Sir Peter Lely, Zoffani, Hogarth, Sir Godfrey Kneller, Teniers, Silvator Rosa, and other masters, thrown hastily with beds and mattresses— a splendid library piled in one mass upon the snow— and all the beautifully painted glass that could be torn from the windows lying about in various directions, much of it shattered and broken, gave a melancholy appearance to the distressing scene around. During the whole of the nights of Friday and Saturday, some of the engines remained upon the spot, as well as a large posse of attendants— the immense timbers and heaps of rubbish occasionally breaking out v. ith much fury, and threatening farther destruction; but on Sunday afternoon, no farther danger was apprehended, occasional fires only blazing up from the burning rubbish, which were easily ex- it inguisbed by those stationed on the premises. As may be readily supposed, fhe place presents a scene of ruin and desolation seldom to be witnessed, and particularly distressing to those who had a taste for the antiquity and grandeur that characterise build- ings of so early a date as the one of which we are lamenting the partial destruction— to say nothing of the taste and splendid style that were shewn in its internal decoration. The preservation of the family paintings — many of them much admired and highly- prized— is a source of gratulation ; but the loss of many valuable papers, and documents not to be replaced, is much regretted. Above the ship- room, which was early on tire, was an urn containing the heart of the first Earl of Sandwich : this was a relic more highly valued by the family than any work of art; and it is feared that it has not escaped destruc- tion— though hopes are entertained that it may have been removed and has escaped observation in the confusion that prevailed. There was but a slender hope, at 011c period, of preserving any of the mansion from destruction ; and it was only owing to the fear- lessness and ' presence of mind of an individual attached to the family, and a few others, that this was effected ; for, whilst tiie flames were raging around them, they contrived to cut asunder the burning timber in vari otis directions, and tear down a portion of fhe roof, and, by this means, prevented a communication with a part <- f the house, which, from the combustible nature ut its materials and the age of its timbers, would greatly have facilitated the increase of fhe flames in all directions, and rendered further exertion of little avail. The painted glass in the window of the drawing- room, containing the arms, & c. of the Montagu family, with the motto— Post tot nanfragia portum, the Landing of King Charles the Second, and the The principal contents of Sir John Pakington's will have transpired. John Somerset Russell, Esq. of Powick Court, near this city ( a nephew of the deceased), has a son about four years of age ; to the eldest sou that may be born of this child Sir John has bequeathed his large landed estates— so that the income must accumulate for nearly forty years; in default of issue the estates go to the descendants of the sccond son of Sir W. B. Cooke, of Wheatley, near Doncaster; and, in case of a second default, the property goes to a grandson of Mr. Knight, of Lea Castle. Sir John has, therefore, effectually barred any of the present generation from the enjoyment of his property. His will, in some respects, resembles Mr. Thelluson's. We do not understand that Sir W. B. Cooke and Mr. Knight were related to the deceased. The remains of Sir John will be removed to the parish church of Hampton Lovett for interment.— Worcester Journal.

IRISH EX - OFFICIO'S.— Three ex- officio informa- tions have been filed against Henry Grattan, Esq. M. P. the Proprietor of the Freeman's Journal newspaper, at the suit of his Majesty's Attorney- General, for alleged libels upon the Administration of Justice. The Rev. A. B. Haden, M. A. formerly Curate of Brewood, Staffordshire, but now of Astbury, in Cheshire, is collated by the Rev. the Dean of Lich- field to the Vicarage of Brewood, vacant by the decease of the Rev. B. J. I'roby. At the General Quarter Sessions for Wiltshire, held at Devizes, before T. G. B. Estcourf, Esq. Chairman, nd a very full Bench of Magistrates, Petitions to his Majesty and to both Houses of Parliament, on the Distress which pervades every class of the com- munity, were unanimously agreed to, and signed by every Magistrate present. The Petitioner say— " That the most alarming distress pervades both the Agricultural and Manufacturing Districts of this County; that such distress cannot, they fear, be at • tributi d to temporary causes, or be expected materially to abate without Legislative interference : and that, they entertain most serious ciytprehensions if the gradual, but no less certain, extinction of their property.— The owner and the occupier- the master- manufacturer and his workmen— the trades- man and the labourer— the clergy, and the members of all the liberal professions— are daily experiencing a diminution of their resources.— Your petitioners ab- stain from the expression of useless regret, and pre- sume not to doubt the wise intentions of Parliament; but they earnestly prav your Honourable House speedily, thoroughly, and boldly, to inquire into the causes and extent of these difficulties, in which all classes of the community are involved ; and most respectfully do they entreat each individual member, laying aside all party feeling, prejudice, or undue influence ( if such there be), to consider what errors may have been committed, and what remedies may still be found to alleviate the sufferings of which we thus strongly but justly complain." The Duke of Wellington, in his answer to the re- presentation of the Sussex magistrates, relative to the distressed state of the county, " both commercial and ^ ricultural," after acknowledging its receipt, says, he " will draw the attention of the King's servants to it." Were we inclined to quarrel with mere modes of expression, we should say that the language of his grace's letter is not only cold and formal in the extreme, but neither very statesmanlike nor diplomatic in his terms. But what we regret is, that his grace should intimate that the attention of the King's servants remains to be drawn to this awful subject. We rather wish that his grace hail been able to tell his correspondents, that the subject was one to which the attention of himself and his col- leagues had been long and anxiously directed. But then, to be sure, this awkward dilemma would have arisen, " if such be the case, why has not parliament long since been assembled to take the distressed state of the country into consideration ?" However, the countrv may console itself with the assurance, that now that it begins to speak out, the government is inclined to listen. We may also add, without taking credit to ourselves for any superior sagacity, that if the feel ings of the country were expressed in more determined language, the ministers would not only listen, but act. We do not approve of violent and intemperate harangues— but if people meet to talk over their sufferings and grievances, and are afraid to speak their minds with firmness and becoming force, they had better stay at home and droop over their sor- rows in secret. It was not by tameness and indecision, any more than by rashness, that our forefathers established that free constitution, which it is the duty, and ought to be the pride, of their posterity to de- fend. How can ministers believe that distress exists in the country to fhe extent it does, if the people do not tell them so in the bold and constitutional lan- guage which English subjects ought to use, and English statesmen ought to hear ? When the Athe- nian suitor feebly detailed his wrongs to D< mo - thenes, he would not believe him,— but when he spoke with the indignant energy which the repulse inspired, the orator now exclaimed, " Ah ! now, in- deed, I give credit to your story, for you speak like an injured man."— Morning Herald. A County Meeting was held on Friday at Cam- bridge, at which the High Sheriff presided, for the purpose of preparing a petition to both Houses of Parliament, complaining generally of the depressed state of the agricultural interests, and praying for a repeal of the duties on malt and beer. The petition- ers referred in strong terms to the injurious effects of the present licensing system. The petition was brought forward and its adoption moved by Sir S. V. Cotton, Bart, and was seconded by Mr. Adeane. Mr. Wells, of Huntingdon, read to the meeting a petition couched in the strongest terms; and addi- tional resolutions were proposed by Mr. Prime, of Cambridge. The meeting, however, was not dis- posed to adopt the former, and the substance of the lalfer was embodied in the original petition, which, after much discussion, was adopted by a considerable majority. Lord Milton was present, and advocated the taking off the duty upon malt in preference to that on beer, as all beer did not pay a tax, but all malt did. The meeting was composed of nearly two thousand persons. JURY COURT, EDINBURGH.— On Friday se'nnight, a cause was tried in the Jury Court, which involved a principle highly important to graziers and farmers. Captain Barclay, of Urr, has turned a great part of his fine lawns, near Stonehaven, into pasture, on which he has stock, wholly sheep, of various breeds, to the amount of £ 7,500. Anxious to bring the sheep feeding as nearly as possible to perfection in that quarter, he procured a number of Leicesters, which he put on turnips, along with his other breeds. It is w ell known, that if that particular breed be frequently disturbed or frightened, they run about the inclosures, forsake their food, lose the power of their limbs, and die. In order that full justice might be done to this precarious breed, Captain Barclay enjoined one of his gamekeepers to shoot every dog he saw in the sheep folds. Pursuant to his master's orders, the game- keeper shot two dogs ; one of them was a Newfound- land, and the other a bull- terrier, ten years old, belonging to Dr. Grant. Hence originated this law- suit, between two gentlemen, equally jealous of their prerogatives, and equally resolved to exercise all the rights and privileges guaranteed by the laws of the country. The proof being concluded, the Lord Chief Commissioner said, that if the dogs had been shot in the very act of hunting or destroying the sheep, the case of the defender would have worn a different complexion, but this was never alleged, and no man was legally warranted to kill them, so long as they were quite harmless.
