We can only hurt them at the expense of tenfold suffering to ourselves, as every one must know who has the slightest ac- quaintance with the state of the cotton trade in England and other countries. A tax dn cotton in England would be a direct botinty on the very thing we art interested in preventing, the extension | of the Cotton manufactures of Massachussetts, and } would lead infallibly to the perpetuation of the system advocated by the New England party, of making America independent of the whole world by producing everything she requires within herself.

ST. YVOOLLOS CHURCH.—We understand that the Rev. Mr. Hawkins, incumbent of Coleford, il the gentleman appointed to the vicarage of St. Woollos, vacant by the demise of the late Umented Mr. Isaacson. HIGH SHERIFF OF MONMOUTHSHIRE.—A para- gragh, announcing that Sii Digby Mack worth, Bart., of Glen Usk, had been sworn in High Sheriff of this county, was accidentally omitted in the MERLIN,of last week. The worthy baronet has apppoinied Alexander Waddington, Esq., of Usk, his Under-Sheriff. NEWPORT MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.—Weunder- sUnd that Mr, Haigh, philosophical lecturer, from the Royal Polytechnic Instituiion, who has recently been lecturing at the Polytechnic Exhibition, in Bristol, has been engaged by the committee of this Institute, and will delim two lectures on chemistry, illustrated by brilliant experiments, exhibit a succes- sion ofbetutifu) dissolving views, the oxy-hydrogen microscope, Sec., in the Hall of the New Council House, on Monday and Wednesday evenings next. POLICE APPOINTMENTS.—P.C. Huxtable, No. 7, and P.C. Harlow, No. 8, to be night and day sergeants, vice Sergeant Cormack, an intelligent and active officer, who has been appointed police-officer of Risca and Thos. Hopkins, son of Mr, Superintendent Hopkins, to be police constable No.8. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Thursday evening last, 4 team of loaded tr*ms was passing when a boy oaraed John Withatea, son of the corporal bugler of the 73rd, now atatiooed here, attempted to jump upon the last, when his foot slipped, and he fell on the road, and two of the wheels of the tram passed over his thighs, fracturing them both. He was immediately carried to the military hospital, where he was soon attended by Surgeon Forster, of the 73rd, who set the limbs. Vortunately for the poor boy, the tram which went over him was not loaded with coal, or amputation of both limbs would in all probability have beet necessary. There was a weight of peat in It, however, sufficient to cause serious fractures. He also received a wound on his head, but not of a dangerous nature. We understand that the boy is going on as well as can be ex. pected. There is no blame to be attached to the driver of the engine. On Thursday, an inquest was held by W. Brewer, K«q., coroner, en the body ot aehitd named William Sullivan, aged five years, whose clothes, in the absence of its parenta- who were from home seeking the means of obtaining food for their starving family—caught fire, and the unfortunate child was burnt to death. Verdict accordingly. A large detachment of jthe 7th Fusileers ar- rived in this town, yesterday, en route to Brecon, intended to replace the militaiyat present stationed in that town. After taking some refreshment in Newport, the detachment proceeded to Pontypool, where they WeJ. to remain for the night and go forward this day to Abergavenny, from whence they are to pro- ceed to their destination. Mr. John Monkhouse, eldest son of Mr.W.Monk- Th«UI«1F;bM town, who hal been chief mare of the barque Thomas Fielden, of Liverpool, for upwards of four years, trad- mg between that port and Valparaiso, has so distinguished him- self for zeal and assiduity m his situation, as to obtain the ap. pomtment of captatn of a fine new brig, which sails for Ostend about the 25th instant, to take in a cargo for Naiallan, round Cape Horn, It is gratifying thus to find merit well rewarded. HAGAR. A TEETOTALER.—An incipient orator of the eold water school in Newport, was last week expounding his views of the principle to his admiring audience, in the course of which he set ferth that Teetotalism existed in the days of Abraham for," exclaimed the orator, with a clinching-ar- jument sort of physiognomy, did," Abraham give hia poor unfort'nate handmaid, Hagar, a bottle of water when he turned her out of doors 1 And didn't she sing out in the desert arter. wnrds for a mug o' cold water 1 If so be as she warn't a Tee- totaler, she'd a got a bladder 0' wine from Abraham when she got the sack and ahe'd a cried for gin in the desert!"—A Correspondent. THE IRON TRADE.—In the present depressed state of this manufacture we hail with pleasure the introduc- non of any process likely to give encouragement to it. A friend has kindly obliged us with an account of a process for zincing iron lately patented, which weare informed has already met with the approval of some of our most able iron-masters. The process is the electro-type which has already made great progress in other branchea of manufacture, particularly in [listing and gilding. Those acquainted with the properties of tine, and more particularly its galvanic state in relation to iron, will at once perceive how much superior a protection it affords to iron than tin. From these known properties it has always been a desideratum to procure a process by which this could be done, but owing to the very intractable nature of zinc, when exposed, to high temperature, this has, until now, failed. The present process is remarkably simpte, saves much of the mani- pulation, as well as the more expeosive psrts of the present process of tinning, and in no way affects the state of the iron. Not only for tin plates will it be found most useful, pailicularly 'hose used for foreign toofing, but for every description of iron both wrought and cast. The most elaborate workmanship is not affected by the process. Copper is also applied by the same process. We are sure that a Doyellyoffering so many advantages, as it appears to us this does, will not be let pass by the enterprising manufacturers without a fair trial, and we hope before long it may form one of the manufacturing processes I of our country. We understand the terms required by the pa. tenteea for licenses are liberal. MAP OF THE Wons AND COLIIERIES, &C.—W^ ref.r our readers to our advertising columns, for the pews.1 of an advertisement respecting the forthcoming map. It will, no doubt, be a work of the greateat importance as shewing the "aat resources of this district. From the zeal displayed by Mr Prujean, and his knowledge of the localities, and from his experience we have no hesitation in recommending it to our readers and to partiea connected with our manufactures. To the library of the gentleman, and the counting-house of the mer- chant it will be alike entertaining and uaefu), aa a work of reference. We trust that a numerous subscription list will handsomely remunerate the Mr. Prujean, foi his labours, and compensate hIm for his spirit and enterprise. At the last meeting of the Town Council, a mo- tion was made by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Dow ling, and spoken to at some length by those and other gentlemen of the Corporation, to the effect that the Town Clerk be allowed to carry on his private practice at the office allotted to him in the Town-hill.—At a former meeting of the council, when the subject was mooted, the Town Clerk was requested to wrue to tiie Town Clerks of other places, in order to ascertain how far usage sanctioned or prohibited the permission of the practice of the Town Clerk's private business in his public office. The Town Clerk was furnished with 90 answers, nearly the whole of which, with a strong l'øiprit du corps, held that leave and Ii. cense should be given. Amongst the letters was one from the J'owa Clerk of Chester, a person, doubtless, totally ignorSnt of Chesterfield's principles of politeness, who feeholthe dignity ot hta "order" hurt by the query, very indecorously,—indeeu rudely-called the querists "a set of noodles Although the writer of this was not one of those who advised the enquiry, he tbinklthe Town Clerk of the "aunciente citie' is not warranted in his gratuitous insult, and he iainduced to think that if his law and his politeness be on a par, his public business for the Solons of the Chester Town Council is not likely to be much interfered with by HIS private practice. THB LATE ASSEMBLY AT THE TOWN-HALL Gait AT ROOM.—1 he accounts connected with the late ball were closed this week, when it was found that instead of there being a surplus, as it was hoped, for the poor, the receipts did not quite cover the expendituie, the committee having to contribute a small sum to balance the affair. This result is the best ans- wer that could be made to some captious observers, who ob- jected to the tickets being fixed at too high a charge. The committee are happy to find the concurrence of genera) tatiefac. tion at the ball, and are well pleased with the conduct of all persons whom they employed to carry out their arrangements. THE DISTRESSED POOR OF NEWPORT.— On Thursday evening a meeting of the gentlemen appointed a committee to conduct the festivities on opening the New Dock, took place at the King's Head Hotel, Wm. Brewer, Esqr, in the chair, when it was resolved that the money not appiopnated forthepurpoaea intended, should form a nucleus for a relief fund the severity of the weather, and the extreme and exten- sive ^stress in this town, rendering charitable aid indispensible. Mr. Lewis Edward, was requested to place the 111m in his hands into the bank, to the credit of the committee. The sum of thirty pounds has, we understand, been deposited, but, per- haps by an inadvertence on the part of Mr, Edwards, it has not been, as ordered, placed to the credit of the committee We trust that the unpaid subscriptions, amounting to about £26., will be paid promptly, as the calls of our suffering fellow-crea- tures are so urgent. We are authorised to state, that the Provisional Committee of the Newport and Nantyglo Railway have deter- mined to suspend, until the next Session of Parliament, the application for their Act of Incorporation. We are informed that this resolution has been come to, under circumstances cal- culated to ensure the satisfactory accomplishment of their object, without ths expeoce and annoyance of a severe and prolonged contesl-yery agreeable to the gentlemen of the long robe, but ruinous to the patties engaged in it. Caerleon Cattle Market was held on Tuesday last. The attendance of buyers was scanty, but there was au excellent show of cattle. Beef, from 5d to 5Jd mnttoo, from 5d to 6d j pigs, 6s per score cows and calves plentiful. The greatest scarcity observed—said buyers to sellers—was a scar. city of the needful. The mortal remains of the late Sir Christopher Bethell Codrington were interred on Saturday morning, shortly before nine o'clock, in the family vault in Dodingtnn Church, Gloucestershire. The Duke of Beaufort and the Marquess of Worcester came over to Dodtnglon Castle to attend the tuners), which was quite private, Sir William C. Codrington, Bart., M P., Mr. Henry Seyton, son in-law of the deceased Baronet, "ad the immediate family connections alone being present at the obsequies. Sir William C. Codrington, Bart., M.P., and Lady Georgiana Codrington, and the Misses Codiingion, re move from the Castle on Monday for Clifton, where a mansion has be- o taken for three months. On Tuesday last a poor lad, in the employ of Mr. Jones, of Troy Farm, .Monmouth, whilst assisting at the wheel of a waggon, got hi" arm entangled benveen the spokes, vhich wa* In mil h lacerated, as to require itsampntaiion 1m. inedialely »ftefrrarJ»i Ttte ltd io deiag welh The half-yearly general meeting of the Monmoutk and Glamorgan Banking Company was held here on the lath instant, H.

On Wednesday night last an alarm PJ made at Monmouth, which broke out at the Old Nag's Head, Ion, but it was fortunately extinguished before the arrival of the engine. INQUEST.—William Brewer, Esq., coroner, held an inque»t on Monday last; on the body of Daniel Neill, of Mbnyihusloyrie pSrish, coliier, wiiB cattie" his fclfeSth W "he Saturday previously, in the Ciwrhey level j in b' stone, upwards of a ton weight, falling upon him during his work. The worthy Coroner made minute enquiries to ascertain if any carelessness on the part of the managers of the level, led to the unfortunate event, but was assured that such wai not the case. Verdict—" accidental death." The unhappy J»ce*»ed has left steven childrent the eldest dnly eleven yesrl old; totally unprovidfed fori On the previous day, Friday) a similar accident —atteuded with fatal consequences—occurred at thetrynant colliery, to a poor collier named Thomas Hablert, who, whilst working in one of the stalls, was crushed to death by a stone of two tons weight falling upon him. Verdict accordingly. MRETHYR.—Amidst so much news respecting the depression of the iron trade, it it truly cQnsolitig to rtport that a furnace is about being put in blast at Plymouth IrOb- works. We hope it is corract. Others again declare that many underground workmen will be discharged in the course of a few weeks. We hope not. SCOTCH CATTLE.—We learn, with extreme re- gret, that some desperadoes Under the detiotbinitidn of Scotch Cattle," have recommenced the work of tertor, Dnd perbetratetl some depredations on honest And induitiious men employed io some of the coal-works, in this district. These misguided men seem tojiave forgotten the fate of John Morgan, the Scotch Cattler, who died a felon's death at Monmouth Jail, some few ydn ago, and that the Judges of the land have been deter- mined to let the law take itscouise, without the least ameliora- tion of its rigour in a'l future convictions. CONTRACTS FOR IRON.—We understand that Sir John Guest, of Dowlais, has just entered into a contract with the Russian Government, for the supply of Fifty-seven thou- sand tons of rails.

N E vV POR T COMMERCIAL READING ROOMS. A public meeting, called by advertisement, of the gentlemen who have taken an interest in the above undertaking, was held at the Town-hall, on Monday last, John Hellicar, Esq., in the chair. 1 he vote of the Town Council, to the effect of closing the room during the entire of Sunday, instead of during the hours of Divine service only, as previously determined on by the Committee, was discussed atconsiderabte length, and a division took place, on the motion of a gentleman, the purport of which, -confirmatory of the previous views of the Committee, was carried. As, however, we are given to understand that the Corpoia. tion, in the exercise of a sound discretion, do not intend to in. terfere with the arrangment of their tenants, amongst whom are sevt-ral of the leading gentlemen of Newport, we think it in accordance with good taste not to report the proceedings of the day, teriatim, as some strong animadversions were made on the occasion. We are happy, in conclusion, to add, that the Committee are still busily employed in maturing the arrangements, and that this most desired InJ useful institution will be opened about the 1st of March.

MERTHYR POLICE.— •RIUAV, FEB. 10. Btjore G. R. Morgan, Esq., and the Uel), C. Mayberry.

The same persons were also summoned by Mary James, of the same place, charged with wilfully injuring her doer. Set- fled out of court, I Mary Thomas, huckster, of Merthyr, was summoned by 1 homas Richards, charged with an assault on his person on the 4th instant. The case was diimissed, and complainant ordered to pay costs. Catherine Howell and Ann Beddow, stewardesses of a Benefit Society, were summoned by Mary Morgan for excluding her from the said club. Defendants alleged that complainant had violated the rules by neglecting to pay her contribution in proper time. On the other hand, complninant produced wit- nesses to prove that the contribution money had been paid on a certain night, and that the cleik had omitted to enter it on the book. It was ordered that complainant be re-in- stated as a member. John Morgan, miner, of Dowlais, was summoned by Dan Williams, of the same place, with stealing a live hen, com- plainant's property.

Committed to Cardiff House of Correction for one calendar month, and kept-at hard labour in default of finding bail.

THE MONMOUTH BELL-RINGING FRACAS. In our last number we gave, under the head of Monmouth news, an article from the Gloucester Journal, having reference to the Bell fracas. The lev. gentleman concerned has since written a letter to the Gloucester paper, to which, in the spirit of jnsttce, we give insertion. r The Vicarage, Monmouth. Feb. 7, 1843. To the Editor of the Gloucester Journal. SIR,—I have received a copy of your newspaper of Satur. day last, ,n which you are pleased to make a viclent per. sonal attack upon me. With your opinions and inferences I have no concern; but you must allow me to question the truth of your facts. I most unequivocally and emphatically deny that the article upon the bell ringing, M Monmouth, in the Gloucester Chronicle of Jan. 28, waa written by me. or at my request, or at my suggestion. I neither dictated the manner, not furnished the matter of that which you call ■" my defence." The editor of the Gloucester Chronicle un. dertook it upon his own responsibility and judgment. He certainly applied to me to write a correct statement, as a refutation of the false and absurd accounts which had found their way into certain papers. This I refused to do, assign. ing for a reason, my determination to keep clear of all news- paper controversy. The only information which he, in com- mon with my oiher frienda, possessed, was a perusal of the correspondence arising out of the iransaction. In conclusion, I beg to charge you and your correspon- dents with a gross perversion and mis-statement of facts, and to express my regret that a iespectable paper like the Gloucester Journal, should so far have furgotten its character and station, as to make a bitier and unprovoked attack upon an individual, without some better warrant for its statements. Iruatmg to your wose of justice for the insertion of this letter, I am, sir. Your obedient servant, GEORGE ROBERTS, Vicar of Monmouth. :i -¡

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON THE REV, Hirru RENNETT, AND COMMITTAL OF HIS WIFF ANn STEP-SON FOR THE OFFENCE. On Monday a serious investigation was none into at Grim shaw's Coombe Hill Inn. involving a charge of attempted nmr der on the Rev. Hogh Percy Renoett, of Evington Cottaee Coombe Hill, and perpetual curate of Naunton, in this MUnlt: The magistrate* present were the Rev. Dr. Timbrill, Captain Surnain, and Mr. Martin. I be prisoners, Mr*. Anns Maria Kannett and Montagu Clark, a lad about 17 years of age (a son of Mrs. Rennett by a former husband), were charged, the latter with firing at Mr. Rennett, with intent to murder him or do him some grievous bodily barm. and the former with aiding him in the commission of the offence. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. R. and the elder pri- soner had been married several years the yoanger prisoner, son by a former marriage, resided with them, In consequence of family disagreements, Mr. R. and bis*ife had been for some time separated at bed and board, bat still resided in the same house; Mr. Rennett occupying and taking his meals in one room, and the remainder of the family in the other parts of the bouse. On Thursday evening last, on returning borne and find. ing no fire in his bed-room, Mr. Rennett enquired ol the elder prisoner for the caase. She replied that she had discharged all the servants, and was not going to work for him herself. An ¡altercation ensned between Ihem, a policeman, who lutppened to be oatllide, hearing which, went to the shutters to listen, and immediately after, bearing blows and the report of fire-arms, he burst into tbe bouse, and found Mr. Rennett on the gronnd, and tbe younger prisoner assaulting him. On being released, be rnshed into the road, and called out to tbe neighbours that be had been shot, and on their expressing their disbelief, he pointed to a hole in the neck, from which tbe blood was flowing profusely. Medical aid was instantly procured, when it was found that the bullet bad entered the neck and lodged inside efforts were made to extract it, bot hitherto without avail, and tbe rev. gentleman still Hesin a dangerous state. After evidence to this effect had been produced, botb prisoners were fully com- mitted to take their trial for the offence. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. A gentleman wbo was present at the investigation, and who has known the parties for many years, favours us with the fol- lowing particulars:— The Rev. Mr. Rennett, vicar of Naunton. who was possessed ef above £1800 per annum, some years sinoe manied a lady named Clark, who had then three children, two sons and a daughter. Mrs. R. has brought np her family, and has been residing for some time past in a villa at Combe Hill; many fa- mily disputes have taken place lately, and it bas been found ne- cessary to have a policeman stationed in the neighbourhood of the house. Mr, R. bu for some time put taken bis meal" Itt, neighbouring public-house. On Saturday morning Mrs, It. ap- plied to tbe magistrates at Tewkesbury to be permitted to swear I the peace against her husband, but this was lefused, iu conse- quence of want of sufficient evidence- Mrs. R. returned on the evening of the same day, and a violent altercation took place between young Clark and llr. Rennett, and as they were all passing together through the kitchen, and abusing each other, Mrs. R. and her son closed the door upon Mr. R., whereupon I be lSed lome. force and opened the door, when yoang ClallL presented a pistol at Mr. R. and fired. Tue ball entered the neck, passing by tbe windpipe, and is supposed to have lodged in the right side. On the pistol being fired, Mr. R. lell, and Clark instantly at. tacked bina with a bludgeon in a most furious manner, and Mr. R. exclaimed that Clark bad done for him. and was rendered momentarily insensible, and on opening bis eyes shortly after, saw a policeman standing everhtm. whom he at first thought was a party to the uuult. The policeman heard Mrs. R. scream violently and exclaim Oh! my lion III abot." Clark immediately answered, No, 1 have shot and done tor Rennett." Mr. Rennett is suffering an.)er acute pains in tbe neck and cbest, and shooting pat, In ,hc lIide, with a difficulty of swallowing.

The application was tefused, and the cases p'tttrded- Benjamin Evans was the first witness called, wbt* jave evi- dence to the effect that on the tenth day of December last, he saw the defendant James, and a'so William Davies, pursuit of game in Wernalog wood, part of a farm occupied bv wUDell-that Jamvs had three dons with him, and that he saw bim shoot a phensant Hod tint afler he had picked up the bird and put i' tvo his pocket, wiiness went up to him and asked bim '"r 11'- Tiiticai*, which he did not produce. He said his nam. -i *•< I) vid Jeremiah, of Lougber. On hit cross-exa IMII > i N by Mr. Melvin, witness admitted that ht had frei;u< :»1 -» "1 Mr..Urne* before, but did not know his name, but >;■ '■ hi had never seen him out near his land shooting before. John Rosser, of SVetty, was th»n called to pive evidence -rt of i- e drtei.dani, and hie evidence contradicted | fu edinj; witness, in every particular. He said <i 1m t.f 'dant James ploughing in the next field that he M* the de*. of DecFemb%r( during nearly the iW,,tDer" l0fl j was the tenth ot December, whole of the day. H« k»«w •• .„„» underwent a very because h» brother told him iO, v>. on >he benchi £ long crosg.e*jrfjir?afr £ ny by to me Llewellyn well as from Mr. Atlwood, their clerk, and to». and became eventually confused. He spoke very bau lish, and could not understand whether the present room., was December, or in short what month it was. He wa* also very much at fault in his description of Ihe celour of the horses he itw at the plough with Mr. Jatsts—he could not tell their colour. I The Rev. Mr. Duiel asked the witneM whether he had been piivately examined by any person piniously,to his co ming into the court, to which question he gavg a decided negative. 1 John James wa. next called, and deposed positively to the defendant not being from bome on the tenth day of Decem- ber last—that he was at the plough—that John Rosser, the preceding witness, was at work in an adjoining field—that he and his brother partook of dinner together at their father's house with others of the family that were at home. No evi- dence contradicting the above facts was elicited in witness's cross-examination. Tbe Befrch, previous to adjudicating upon the first case, proceeded to hear the others. The defendant, William James, was then charged with a second offence of having pursaed game without a certificate, on Killibeva farm, in the parish of Llanrhidian. Mr. Grose, the occupier of tiie above farm, swore that he saw the defendant ahooting garte on his farm on tbe twenty- fourth day of December last. ) David Jcaes, labourer, in the employ of last witness, cor- roborated this evidence. Mr. Melvin, for the defence, cslled Edward Rosser, of Sketty farm, servant, who swore that the defendant was in company wIth him at Swansea on the twenty-fourth day of December last, and about the lime on which tbe witness for the prosecution swore that he was unlswfully pursuing game in the parish of J.tamhidian. He also staled that the corn lie brought 10 Swansea on the last-mentioned day was sold I,) a Mr. Davies, malster. He said also that he and Wm. James and John James, parted from each other in the town of Swansea. The testimony of this witness "II not shaken by cross*examin«iioa. John James wa* next cslled for the defence. His evi- dence was confirmatory of the evidence of the last witness, as 10 his accompaning his brother William James to Swansea, on the last-mentioned day bu' be differed with the last witness as to the place where ti2?V parted, saying that his brother and himself left Edward about a mile from Swansea. Mr. Melvin addressed the Bench, and sdmHu/ lh* was some discrepancy in the evidence of his witness*1 regard to where they parted but as the defendant, time been given, might probably have furnished him with ti»» names of persons who would have confirmed the evidence, it ] might appear in a ten exceptionable light. The witnesses had both agreed in their statements of defendant's being 10 Swansea on the 241h of December, and he trusted that their Worships would ultelhis fact into favourable consideration. He also dwell upon the fact that in the case against his clients, which had been called on the preceding Tuesday, there was only one summons served, and one information, in which a man of the name of David Jones was set forth as the in- formant, whereas in the present canes the dates of lI.e seve- ral trespasses were not only different fioru that of the pre- vious information, but also no such informant a* David Jones appeared on the face of any of them. The Magistrates, in giving their judgment, dwelt on the contradictory evidence given by the defendant's witnesses, and fined the defendant William James in the sum of ihiee pounds and costs, in each of the two cases for shooting without a game certificate, and two pounds and costs in each case of trespass. The other defendant, William Davies, was then charged with pursuing game unlawfully and with trespassing in company with William James, the defendant in the last caM. The ■ defendant pleaded guilty to the chaise of pursuing came on the 24th of December. The magistrates fined the defendant two pounds. The charge laid on the tenth, in which the defendant had instructed Mr. Melvin to produce three witnesses to prove so alibi, was abandoned on the prosecution. The fines were paid, and the defendants dischsrged.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER—FIB. 8. MITCHELL, CLERIt, VERSUS WILLIAMS, CLERK. This was an action in which the plaintiff sought to recover compensation by way of damages for a fajte and malicious j prosecutiou alleged to have been carried on against him by the rector of Marlborough, in Wiltshire, the defendant. It appeais that the parties are both clergymen, and that the plaintiff, in the spring of the year 1841, became the tenant of a mansion and grounds of the defendant, with exclusive right of sporting," in Wale*. After three montha* occupation, certain differences arose between the plaintiff and the defend- ant, and certain actions and distresses weie instituted, and put 1 In by the latter against the former, Not long afterwiids, the plaintiff caused a fish-pond to be drained, for the purpose of taking a few fish, whereupon 0.01: Durance (the agent of the defendant) took proceedings against him before the magistrates under the 7th Geo IV., c 30: the 15th seoion of which makis it a misdemeanour, punishable by transportation, for any one unlawfully and maliciously to cut and destroy^ any dam of any fish-pond, with intent to take the fish therein Upon this charge, the plaintiff was obliged to find bail to appear at the assizes, when a bill was found against him, the defendant being r<»^n;zanl of the latter stages, and being shown lo have ex- pressed his acquiescence therein. The plaintiff being much vexed at Ihis-which he considered to be a most malicious and yexaiious prosecution, and one insiituted wholly without iea- sonableor probable cause hy the defcndant-broughl this action 'gaiost him, and the case came on to be tried by a special jury at the last Bristol Assizes, before Mr Justice Wighimsn. On "hat occasion, the juiy distiuctly found that Durance had acted under the authority of the defendant; that leave was t:iyen by Durance to hlh the pond in question and, lasily, that she pro- ceedings in question had been instituted maliciously bv the dt. (endant. Under these circumstances, the learned Judge thought Ihat a want 01 probable cause was made out; and, finally, the jury gave a verdicVfor the plaintiff, with £400 damages. Af- terwards this rule was obtained for a new irfal on bahalf of the defendant, on the ground of misdirection on the part of the learned judge; andatso because the verdict ivae against the evidence, as 10 the authority by the defendant to Durance to institute the prosecution out of which this action arose, snd the damages excessive. 1\11. Erie, Mr. Cockburn, and Mr. Barstow were now heard In opposition to the rule. As the lateness of the hour at which thty concluded their arguments did not admit 01 the other side being heard, the further hearing was postponed till next day. Accoidingly on Thursday, Mr. Crowder addressed the Court in support of the rnle. and icplied to the arguments of the learned counsel for the plaintiff. He ststed that there was ample ground for tbe interference of the Court on each of ihe grounds upon which the rule nisi had been granted. The learned judge at the trial was noi correct, in drawing an infe- rence from the facts proved by the plaintiff, that the defendant had insiituted these proceedings at all, or if he had, that he had dune so without any reasonable or probable cause tor such a course. Neither was the direction of the learned judte corre< t. in abstaining from leaving it to the jury 10 say whether, when the prosecution was adopted by the defendant, be kuew that hll agen', Durance, had in any way aanctioned the plaintiff In breaking down the dall) of the pond in question. Finally, il was strongly urged, that at all even's, the damages were exces- sive, or lather the evidence on which i(t must have proceeded, was excessive. The plaintiff at the trial bad put in bu attor- ney's bill of costs in preparing for hit defence. It was impos- sible to say but thai the jury had adopted these billli as the criterion on which their verdict should proceed, and had there- fore been misled by this evidence, which was of a most suspi- cious nature. Mr. Barstow, for the plaintiff, called the attention of the court to some portion of the judge's summing up, in which he had distinctly told the jury that some of the charges could not be taken as the estimate of their verdict. The Court was of opinion that the rule must be discharged "on all grounds." The jury had found ceitain facts which amply warranted the learned judge in holding that the conduci of the defendant was without reasonable or probable cause — I hey bad specially found that the defendant had been actua'ied oy malice towards the plaintiff, and, indeed, it was absurd to suppose that ihe act nnpuied to IlJe plaintiff was one which rould be strained into an offeoce wiihin the scope of the statute Thai act was poimed at injuries wilfully committed by slran^' ets, to hsh ponds with intent to steal the fish therein; but here ihe ptaintitf had a full right of sporting over the premises, and ,t was inconceivable how the magistrates could have committed the plaintiff to lake his trial, under the circumstances. As to he damages, the bills of the plaintiffsattoroev ought not to be altogether recovered from the defendant in'lhis action. It might well be that the jury had assessed their damages without reference to the amount of those charges, for the facts of the case would have amply warranted a much heavier verdict than one for £400, The rule must therefore be dischsrged. Rule discharged accordingly, with costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. IMH 1 V% NEWPORT POLICE.—MONDAY, FtB. 13, 1842. BøfDr. the Mayor, Thomas Hughes, and Thomai Hawkins, Esqrs, 4 RAnA AVIS. Edward Morgan, a diminutive and ragged urchin, well known as Will the Whistler," was charged with having un- lawfully made Stall, No. 1, in the King'a Head Stables, his home and bed 00 the night of Sunday. The poor wanderer who had thus sought a shelter in a stable, from the pelting of the pitiless storm, is gifted with the finest whistling talent that can be found from Johnny Groat's lo the Land's End and notun- frequently, we are informed, exercises his wondrous taient so beautifully, that listeners have fancied feathered songters warbling their notes around them. However, the Mayor said he had no business to make another man's toilet" his rest- ing place, gave him a cautionary reprimand, and discharged him. A THIEF'S CARSIR, If FOUA SCRIES. NO. I, HlART STEALING. Patrick Macnamara, a tailor, lately residing on the Cardiff- road, who has already suffered two years' imprisonment for stabbing a man in thia town, was this day brought up, charged with a series of felonies. The first case which the Magistrates summened enquiry upon, was that of stealing a bullock's heart and two pieces of beef, from Mr. E. Hicks, butcher, Commer. cial-street, on Friday evening last, about nine o'clock.—Mr. Hicks, being sworn and examined by Mr. T. J. Phillips, stated that on Friday evening last he observed the prisoner walking up and down before his shop several times, about nine o'clock, at which time two pieces ot beef and a bullock's heart, were hanging from the raii in the shop window. Soon afterwards, the meat and heart were missed. The heart produced was the one he lost. He knew it by a cut in the end of it, which he saw his man make, and upon which he made a remark at the time. The piece of beef pioduced he kaewalso by Ihe peculiar manner in which it was cut. The second piece of beef was not to be found. John Jones, sworn, stated that he was a joiner, and resided 4t Mr. David Lewis's, nearly opposite Mr. Hick's. On Friday evening, about nine o'clock, he observed a man with a Mackin tosh on—[ihe prisoner was here fitted with the Mackintosh, and witness believed him to be the man]—unhang the heart fiotn a hook in Mr. Hicks' shop, place it under his Mackintosh and walk off with it down the street. Witness did not inform any person at the shop of what he had seen, but presently meet- ing with a person named Henry Lewis, he informed him of it, who thereupon pursued the man towards the New Church. In reply to a question from Mr. Pbillips,as to why wiiness had not gone direct to the shop to give information, or why he had not pursued the thief, he very coolly replied that he thought it was no business of his, and had, therefore, thought it not worth his while to interfeie. Mr. Phillips reprehended such indifference towards a felon, and informed the wiloe.informalion apparently very neces- sary—that it was the business of every person to prevent his neighbour being robbed, or to bring the offender to justice, if possible. P.C.
