Saturday 28 Aug 1819 (p. 2, col. 5 - p. 3, col. 5) Cumberland Assizes, 1819. CROWN COURT. [continued] Mr. BARON WOOD pronounced sentence upon the capital convicts in the following terms:-John TELFORD and Henry SCOTT, you have each of you been tried and convicted by a jury of your country, for offences which the law has properly made punishable with death. You, John TELFORD, have been convicted of stealing eight heifers. You, Henry SCOTT, of stealing one sheep: the offences you have committed are of a most serious nature, and the punishment awarded by the laws is not more severe than they merit; for property of the description you have taken, from its nature being more than ordinarily exposed to depredation, requires to be more strictly guarded by the law. John TELFORD, the robbery you have been convicted of is one of a most audacious nature: you have not taken a single heifer, but you have stolen eight, and driven them to a distant market for sale; you have, however, expressed some contrition for your offence by offering to pay the price of the cattle, and the character given you by many of your neighbours, are circumstances in your favour which may cause mercy to be extended towards you: that will, however, rest solely in the breast of his Majesty-I cannot, at present, give you any assurance that such mercy will be so extended. Henry SCOTT, there is too much reason I fear to apprehend that this is not by any means your first offence. It is true, you have only been convicted of one offence, but I am afraid you have been long practised in depredations of this nature. One circumstance there is indeed in your favour: that at the time you committed this offence your family was in great need; that is however, in itself, no excuse whatever of your crime, though it may be a reason for mitigating your punishment. I trust both of you are sincerely sorry for the crimes you have committed; (prisoners here said "we are") and if it should please his Majesty to extend his royal mercy towards you, you must be sent to a distant country, where you will have an opportunity, and where I trust you will endeavour to regain those characters you have here lost, and return again to habits of industry, (prisoners here said again "we will,") and live honestly and justly amongst your fellow-men. I therefore most seriously admonish you to repent, and come to a resolution to amend your lives. At present, there only remains for me to pass the awful sentence of the law upon you, which is, that each of you, John TELFORD and Henry SCOTT, be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and thence to the place of execution, and that there you be severally hanged by the neck till you are dead, and may the Lord have mercy upon your souls.

Saturday 28 Aug 1819 (p. 2, col. 5 - p. 3, col. 5) Cumberland Assizes, 1819. CROWN COURT. [continued] CHARGE OF SHEEP STEALING. EDWARD BARNES, and EDWARD JOHNSTON, were charged with stealing one lamb on the 16th June last, in the parish of St. Mary, Carlisle, value 10s., the property of Richard LOWRY, Esq., of Durnhill. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. Mr. POLLOCK for the prosecution, Mr. WILLIAMS for the defence. John ORR is a private soldier in the carbineers now quartered in Carlisle. He was out on the night of the 16th June, and coming up Scotch Street, with one of the 7th Hussars, and two girls, saw the prisoner walking six or seven yards before another man, but they had nothing with them. The lesser man, BARNES, asked witness why they were out of their quarters, who answered, "Go to hell, and not interfere with our business." BARNES wanted to fight with LEGGETT the hussar-man, threw off his coat, and asked JOHNSTON to come and back him. LEGGETT then struck BARNES back to where a lamb was lying, at the end of Rowland BOUSTEAD's house, in Jollie's Buildings-but the prisoners were 100 yards off the lamb when the affray began. Witness then took hold of the lamb, trailed it into the street, and brought the prisoners to it-it had been stuck, and was then warm. BOUSTEAD looked out at the window, and told the soldiers to take the prisoners into custody, which they did, and lodged them in the guard-house. Cross-examined by Mr. WILLIAMS.-When witness first saw the prisoners, one was going to where the lamb lay; they appeared to be coming from the horse-market to Scotch Street, through Jollie's Buildings; they were between a walk and a run. The lamb was found at the corner of Jollie's Buildings, which is the bottom of Scotch Street; saw no body with a lamb in their hands; there was no person in the street but the prisoners; the lamb was dead, and the time was between two and three A. M. When the prisoners were taken to the guard-house, Corporal HALL examined if their hands were bloody, but they were not. William LEGGETT is a private in the 7th Hussars. Was with ORR and three girls on the night in question. One of the girls observed that two men had a sheep. Witness then saw the prisoners, who were 30 or 40 yards from the lane. ORR was in the front, and witness followed a few yards behind. When he met the prisoners, they were walking at a regular pace, and were coming towards where the lamb lay. BARNES stopped witness and said, "Where the devil are you going at this time of the morning?" Witness asked him what business that was to him. Angry words ensued, and BARNES threatened to kick witness. ORR was at a little distance forward, and, returning, picked up two stones, and was going to strike BARNES for being insulting. Witness then put ORR back, saying, "Don't strike the man, perhaps you may kill him." The young man showed a great inclination to fight. He did not see any other men in the street than the two prisoners-they were coming towards the lamb when witness saw them, but one of the girls saw them first. Cross-examined.-He had no suspicion at the time that the men were the persons who stole the lamb: he was not drunk. The corporal examined the prisoners' hands to see if there were any blood or wool about them, but none were seen. Neither could witness see any marks of either of the prisoners having had a lamb upon his back. Witness wished to let the prisoners go, but the young men insisted on going to the Guard House. Mr. WILLIAMS. You said there were three women present; were there three? Yes. Mr. W. One you had as an advanced guard? Yes, one was by herself; but if there had been another soldier, then she would soon have got a companion, I'll assure you. Mary HEWITT was the first woman (the advanced guard). She left the two soldiers and went on about ten yards before. She saw two men coming down with a sheep, which they were trailing along Jollie's Buildings, near the corner-she thinks both were trailing it. Witness called out, "Holla, is that the way you do?" The soldiers then came up-she told them there were two men with a sheep, and the soldiers ran after them and took them. Witness then went home and saw nothing further: there were no other men in the streets. Cross-examined.-She had been walking with the soldiers two or three hours. Can't say that the prisoners were the men she saw. When she spoke, the two men ran back again. John NORWOOD, shepherd to to Mr. LOWRY, proved the lamb to be that gentleman's property, and that it was taken out of the Swifts, about 200 yards from Jollie's Buildings. Rowland BOUSTEAD is a butcher, and lives at the corner of Jollie's Buildings. On the morning in question, hearing a noise, he looked out of the window, and heard one of the soldiers say to the prisoners, "You have stolen a sheep." The whole were standing in Jollie's Buildings. He told the soldiers to take the men prisoners to the guard-house, and he, he said, would come and see to whom the sheep belonged. He did so: the lamb was newly stuck, was warm, and the blood was running from it. Cross-examined. The sheep was as well stuck and tied as any butcher could do it, and in the same manner. A person from the neighbourhood, named GOODFELLOW, who jobbed at butchering, was missing soon afterwards: he lived about 60 yards from where the lamb was found. Witness examined the prisoners' clothes, and found neither blood nor dirt about them; and he said to the corporal, he believed they were innocent. This was the case for the prosecution. BARNES, in defence, said they were innocent. They had not been out of a public house five minutes when they came down Jollie's Buildings. William MORLEY is a publican in Botchergate, which is half a mile from Jollie's Buildings, the nearest road to which is by the horse market. The prisoners were working in some new houses behind the North walls of the City. JOHNSTON lodges with E. BOUSTEAD, on Caldewbrow, and BARNES lives near the New Brewery in Caldewgate. Witness worked under the same master as the prisoners, and were working seven days in the week at that time; they began at five in the morning, and continued till seven at night. Prisoners were at witness's house till 10 m. past two (by his watch) on the morning mentioned. Cross-examined. There is a nearer way to where the prisoners lived than by Jollie's Buildings; they told witness they were going to the houses where they worked, and to go to them through Jollie's Buildings is the nearest road. Is sure the time was as he stated-his watch was within a few minutes of the town clock under or over. Joseph HALL, the corporal alluded to, remembers the prisoners being brought to the guard-house, at a quarter past two, on the morning of the 16th June. The guard-house is in the centre of the town, and he saw the time by the town-clock. He examined the prisoners closely, and saw no marks of wool or blood upon them; they were quite willing to be examined, and turned up their cuffs for that purpose. ORR was in the guard-room at the time, but the hussar was not: the guard-room not being light enough, they were taken to the door and examined. The Judge having summed up, the Jury instantly acquitted the Prisoners, and Baron WOOD considered their innocence completely established. [to be continued]

Saturday 28 Aug 1819 (p. 2, col. 5 - p. 3, col. 5) Cumberland Assizes, 1819. CROWN COURT. [continued] STEALING OF STOCKINGS. WM. MOOR was charged with stealing two pair of cotton stockings the property of Catherine ELLIS, a servant with Mrs. HAMLEY, of Moorhouse Hall, near Warwick. C. ELLIS deposed that at half-past 11 o'clock in the morning on Friday last, she hung seven pair of cotton stockings on the garden hedge; on her return about half-past 12, thirteen of the stockings were gone. She gave alarm, and the prisoner was taken near the place, but nothing was found about his person. Thomas DODD, who lives at Warwick, was going home between 11 and 12 on Sunday night; met the prisoner about half a mile from Warwick-said to prisoner, "I wouldn't wonder but you have the stockings about you:" on which the prisoner ran off. DODD then looked around, and saw a bundle lying in the hedge, a few yards from where he was standing; he took it up, and followed and arrested the prisoner, who told the witness his coat was so bad that he had taken the stockings to buy himself a better. There were six pair and an odd stocking in the bundle, which were proved by C. ELLIS to be her's and her mistress's property. Guilty,-12 months' imprisonment in Carlisle gaol. SHOP LIFTING. MARGARET CARR, of Whitehaven, widow, indicted for privately in stealing in the shop of William LANGCAKE, at Workington, one piece of cotton print 28 yards, and one piece of calico, of the value of 40s.-Mr. LAMB, as counsel for the prosecution, briefly stated the circumstances of the theft as detailed in the evidence. Joseph TIRRIL is shopman to Mr. LANGCAKE, at Workington. On the 2nd of June last, he had information given him by a woman, that a female had stolen something out of the shop and was concealed in a door-way in the street; he immediately went out to look after her, and not seeing her, returned into the shop-he had not been long there when his informant returned and told him the female had come out of her hiding place and was then going down the street; he went out and saw the prisoner walking quickly, and on her turning the corner of Bridge-street, she ran off; he pursued and overtook her going into Mr. PEARSON's school yard, and pulling down her apron, found the pieces which he produced and identified as the property of his master-he had shewn one of the pieces to some customers immediately before, and is certain he had not sold it-the piece was marked in his own writing; the cost price 26s. 6d. for the 28 yards in private characters, selling price 1s. 2d. per yard in figures-believes the prisoner has 4 or 5 children-he does not know her occupation.-The prisoner in her defence said, that a woman in the shop gave her the articles, and that she told TIRRIL, if he would go with her she could find her; he would not do so at that time, but sent the constable afterwards and she could not find her.-TIRRIL recalled: said she never requested him to go with her, nor did he send any one.-His Lordship in his charge to the jury said, that by law, privately stealing in a shop to the value of 5s. is a capital offence; there was no doubt that the articles were considerably above that value, but to sustain the capital part of the charge, it was necessary to prove that the articles were stolen privately, which had not been done. He therefore directed them if they found her guilty of stealing, to add, not privately. The jury returned their verdict, Guilty, but not privately. His Lordship took into consideration her having been two months' confined and her small family-hoped when she again was at liberty she would repent of her conduct and not be guilty of the like again.-Sentenced to four months' imprisonment in Carlisle goal.

Saturday 28 Aug 1819 (p. 2, col. 5 - p. 3, col. 5) Cumberland Assizes, 1819. CROWN COURT. [continued] BURGLARY. JOHN ROBINSON, charged with stealing on the 17th July last, several articles of wearing apparel, the property of pupils at Green Row Academy. Sarah SCOTT, laundry maid to Mr. SAUL, deposed, that on the 16th July last she fastened the window and door of the Laundry, in which were a quantity of clothes belonging to Mr. SAUL's family and the scholars, that had been recently washed; some were in a basket on the floor, and some on lines in the room. At half past six the following morning, she went into the Laundry, found the articles disturbed, but took no particular notice at that time. On crossing the yard, a servant man drew her attention to the Laundry window, which had been broken and was raised up about two inches; on going into the room she found the window screw lying on the window-bottom, and several shirts and handkerchiefs missing. Robert TATE was at Aspatria on the 20th July last in a public house. Saw the prisoner passing the window with a large bundle, which he thought contained contraband spirits. Witness went to the door, called him back, and gave him a glass of ale. Prisoner then opened his bundle: in it were several shirts, &c. and a web of linen: he said he had bought them of different soldiers. Witness, suspecting the articles to be stolen, arrested the prisoner, and gave Mr. SAUL information. John DRAPER, a surgeon at Blitterlees, was sworn in as a special constable on this occasion, and carried the prisoner and bundle before the Rev. Mr. STANLEY. When he took the prisoner he said he was sorry to be sent to gaol for stealing a few shirts; he wished he had gone on the road with a pistol, like a gentleman. He had two shirts and two vests on when arrested, which were part of the stolen property. The articles found on the prisoner were proved to be the property of the scholars, by Sarah SCOTT. Verdict, Guilty,-Transported seven years. [to be continued]

Saturday 28 Aug 1819 (p. 2, col. 5 - p. 3, col. 5) Cumberland Assizes, 1819. CROWN COURT. [continued] SHEEP STEALING. HENRY SCOTT was put to the bar, charged with killing and stealing a sheep, in September last, the property of Joseph MOUNSEY, of Woolsty Hall, in this county. Mr. LAMB conducted the prosecution. Joseph MOUNSEY proved that he had the sheep on Parsonby Hill, and that one of them disappeared. Henry HODGSON was a lime burner at Parsonby limekiln. The prisoner worked there three days only in the beginning of September, and in going to his employment, passed through MOUNSEY's fields. One morning as they were going to work, the sheep came up to the hedge; SCOTT made a sudden stop and asked witness whose sheep they were; who said he thought they belonged to Joseph MOUNSEY. Prisoner replied-"What dost thou think if thee and me had one?-we can easily get one of them." Witness rejoined, "SCOTT, I'll have no concern with getting any of them." Prisoner said, "I'll bring my knife and steel, and I can soon butcher one-we can easily get one, and never a dog bark." Thomas ROUTLEDGE, an accomplice sworn. Baron WOOD. Mind you speak the truth, and nothing but the truth. Witness lives at Tallentire, and has known the prisoner more than a year, who resided about 4 miles from Parsonby Hill. About the 7th or 8th of September, witness went with SCOTT to steal a sheep. SCOTT proposed the matter to witness when he was in liquor; he said he had been travelling the road between Tallentire and Ponsonby, and had seen some good sheep belonging to Joe MOUNSEY. Prisoner urged him to go, observing that he himself had a wife and four children, and that his family were in need. Witness consented; and the next night, about eleven, they set off for Parsonby Hill, found the sheep, and drove them into a corner of the field. SCOTT caught one and tied its feet; he then carried it over the hedge into the next field, took out his knife, sharpened it on his steel, killed the sheep, skinned it, and gave the skin to witness. SCOTT then cut up the sheep and divided it between them; the entrails were carried to another field and put into a gutter, and they made the place of slaughter as clean as they could. Witness carried the skin home and pulled off the wool-that found in his house was a part of it. The prisoner here said that the witness had been apprehended for stealing wheat from Thomas PARKER. Mr. Baron WOOD.-He was indicted for it, but no bill was found. John SMITH searched SCOTT's house in May last, and found some butchering implements and some wool; he also found wool in ROUTLEDGE's house, but thinks it of a different kind-it had been pulled off the skin. John WILSON proved that the prisoner lived at Whitehaven about 2 or 3 years ago, where he sold meat in the market-has seen prisoner cut up meat and sell it. Joseph MOUNSEY recalled. The wool found in ROUTLEDGE's house is the same kind as his wool, and is marked with the same materials as the marks upon his sheep. The prisoner put in a paper, which his Lordship said it was of no use to read to the Jury. He called no witness.-GUILTY.-DEATH. [to be continued]

Saturday 28 Aug 1819 (p. 2, col. 5 – p. 3, col. 5) Cumberland Assizes, 1819. [continued] CROWN COURT. CATTLE STEALING. JOHN TELFORD, charged with feloniously stealing eight heifers the property of John NIXON, Wm. ROUTLEDGE, John HETHERINGTON, and Jos. RIDLEY, from a field called Cockletrigg, on the farm of Wintershields, in the parish of Lanercost. Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr. COURTENAY were counsel on the part of the prosecution, and Mr. AGLIONBY for the prisoner. Wm. KYLE knows the prisoner—he lived at Bailey Common, about two or three miles from Wintershields; saw the prisoner on Thursday or Friday before Stagshawbank fair, on Highstone Common road, half way between prisoner's house and Wintershields—"he had nothing at a' wid him but his sel and a cwoley dog." Robert GOODFELLOW is herd on Wintershields farm, where cattle are agisted. On Friday, July 2, between 10 and 11 o'clock, he saw the cattle were all right; there were 121 head in Cockletrigg, including five of NIXON's, one of ROUTLEDGE's, one of HETHERINGTON's, and one of RIDLEY's: all the cattle were marked with a slit in the left ear; ROUTLEDGE's heifer had a hole in the left ear; the fences were in a tolerable state of repair; cattle could not easily get out if they were inclined—they never wished to get out. Thomas GRAHAM is toll-keeper at the Denton Bar, about four miles beyond Brampton, on the Newcastle road: remembers a man passing the gate before five o'clock, A. M. on the 3rd July—he had eight cattle. Witness took no further notice than observing the cattle to be a good sample. Does not know the prisoner—can't say he was the man. Joseph BROWN lives three miles on the east side of Denton Bar; has known the prisoner several years: remembers seeing him about a quarter before six on Saturday morning, 3rd July last; he had eight cattle with him; witness counted them, and said to prisoner, "thou has got a few good beasts, John"—prisoner replied 'yes, middling;' and asked if 'a vast of cattle were gone to this market?' (Stagshawbank)—witness said, the most he had seen going were on the other side of the hedge. The cattle appeared warm. James HILTON is a farmer near Alston: was at Stagshawbank fair, on Monday the 5th July last; bought eight heifers of a man; believes the prisoner the same; they were all he had; witness paid £57 8s., for them: the same cattle are now in a field in the vicinity of Carlisle; he shewed them to a person called POTTS yesterday; they are all marked with a slit on the top of the left ear. Thomas POTTS is under herdsman to R. GOODFELLOW. Yesterday HILTON shewed him eight cattle; they were all slit (one had a hole) in the left ear; witness examined them, and knows them to be the same; he had charge of them for the two last summers; he saw them on the Thursday; they were taken away on the next day. Witness went with Mr. WANNOP, and Mr. WANNOP's servant, to apprehend the prisoner; when they first saw him they asked him "if he had seen any cattle, for they had lost some?"—He answered, 'not any.' WANNOP then said, "thou wast at Stagshaw, John, did'nt thou see any?"—prisoner said 'no.' WANNOP told prisoner that he had heard at Carlisle that day that he had got them. Prisoner said, 'me got them! where could I get them? I had no beast there of any kind.' WANNOP said, "thou wilt have to go to Carlisle with us." Prisoner said, 'I'll soon that.' He then came off with them. They went to a magistrate, and after they came away, witness asked prisoner if any person helped him out of the field with the cattle? Prisoner said no one; they were over easy to get out; he wished they had been worse; it would have been better for him that day. He told witness that he took them on Friday night, by Askerton and New Mills, to Stagshawbank, where he sold them for £57, 4s., to three men, who came from near Alston. Never said to prisoner, "You had better tell out." The Rev. Dr. LOWRY, by whom the prisoner was examined and committed, stated, that when before him, the prisoner confessed he had taken the cattle and sold them at Stagshawbank, and expressed a willingness to make up the loss to the owner. No inducement was held out to cause this confession. Charles PHILLIPS, Wm. GRAHAM, Geo. GRAHAM, Thos. GILLESPIE, W. DAVIDSON, P. GRAHAM, and Henry VARTY, gave the prisoner a good character—he has a wife and four children.———GUILTY.—DEATH. [to be continued]

I am pleased to learn, that there are no commitments for rioting; and although there may have been meetings in this county of a nature similar to those which have convulsed other counties, I am glad to observe they have not proceeded to those extremities, or worn the same rebellious aspect. You will have seen the proclamation of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, acting in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, and I have no doubt but all of you will be ready to support our constitution against the attempts of designing men, and that in your own neighbourhood you will **** of you, should any appearances of disloyalty or sedition be shown by any, endeavour to convince such persons of their folly, and bring them to a right sense of their duty.

Saturday 28 Aug 1819 (p. 2, col. 5-6) CAUSE LIST. Plaintiffs' Attorney. Plaintiffs. Defendants. Defendants' Attorney. 1. BLOW......................BLOW...............BRISCO..........case. In person.—To recover the sum of £36 6s., due on a promissory note given by Defendant to Plaintiff. No defence. Verdict for the Plaintiff (including interest) £37. 2. PERRY.....................PERRY...............CORKHILL.......case. In person.—The Plaintiff is a Solicitor residing at Whitehaven, and the Defendant is of the same profession living at Ramsgate, in the county of Kent. The action was brought to recover the sum of £9 : 2 : 6 for professional business done for the Defendant by Mr. PERRY, at the instance of a third party residing in Cornwall, and of whom Mr. CORKHILL had received the amount. No defence. Verdict for the Plaintiff, £9 : 2 : 6. 3. PERRY....................Doe...................HUNTER .........eject.—Referred. Verdict for the Plaintiff by consent, damages 1s. 4. LOWRY..................DOUGLAS..........CHARLTON.......case. LAW.—The Plaintiff is a grocer and spirit seller at Newcastleton, and the Defendant a small farmer living on the English border, a few miles from that town. The action was brought to recover £89 16s., the amount of goods sold and delivered, part of which was a bill that had been accepted by the defendant, but not honoured when it became due. A stupid witness was put into the box to prove the delivery of the goods, but he knew nothing, and the Plaintiff's counsel were obliged to confine themselves to the bill. The defence set up was, that the Defendant was not liable, the bill having been given for an illegal consideration—for smuggled whiskey. This was clearly proved, and the Plaintiff was Nonsuited. 5. LOWRY..................RICHARDSON.....RICHARDSON...case. MOUNSEY & SISSON.—The parties in this case, Robert RICHARDSON and Joseph RICHARDSON, are brothers, and live at Dalston, near Carlisle. The action was brought to recover £113 : 17 : 2, the balance of a running account of many years' standing. Mr. RAINE, for the Defendant, made a strenuous attempt to get up a set-off to more than the amount of the demand, during which the learned gentleman now and then threw a few sparks of wit and humour over a very dull dry subject. This, attempt, however, totally failed, the jury giving a verdict for the Plaintiff to the amount claimed. 6. ATKINSON.............BIRKITT..............IRTON.............tres. HODGSON.—Verdict for the Plaintiff, damages £5. (See Report.) 7. MOUNSEY & SISSON .....KER............BENSON.........debt. NICHOLSON & THOMPSON.—An action to recover upon a bond of 30 years' standing, for £610, the subscribing witnesses to which were dead.

A nominal verdict for the Plaintiff, damages 1s., without costs, was taken, the business to be settled by another method. 10. LIGHTFOOT..........Doe.....................BEEBY............eject. HOLME.—Ver. for the Pl., damages 1s. 11. LIGHTFOOT..........LAWSON.............SIM..................tres. PEARSON.—Verdict for the Plaintiff, damages £20. (See Report.) 12. GRAHAM & ARMSTRONG...RICHARDSON...HUGGINSON...rep. ROBINSON.—(See Report.) 13. PEARSON.............MOORE...............NIXON............case. PRESTON.—The Plaintiff, Jos. MOORE, as the administrator of his father, Joseph MOORE, sought to recover £6 11s. due to the old man when he died, from the Defendant, for work done jointly with NIXON, in repairing Armathwaite Bridge. The amount demanded was the result of an arbitration. An attempt was made by the Defendant to do away with this arbitration on the ground that one of the arbitrators had not consented; and also to prove that five pounds of the demand had been paid. It was the opinion of Mr. Justice BAYLEY, that this endeavour had completely failed. The jury were of the same mind. Verdict for the Plaintiff, £6 11s. 14. PEARSON.............SMITH...........LOWRY & others...case. LOWRY.—The Plaintiff is a butcher at Caldbeck, and the Defendents [sic] were known (some short time ago) as the Caldbeck Mining Company. It appeared that the Defendants had empowered the Plaintiff to supply their workmen with butchers' meat, to the amount of upwards of £30, which they had in return deducted from the men's wages. The existence of the Company was proved by the payment of £11 on its account as part of the demand; and evidence was given to prove that several of the Company had made individual admissions of the debt.—Verdict for the Plaintiff £16, about the amount of the balance due. 15. WILSON...............GODBURN..........TAYLOR...........case.—The Plaintiff is a grocer at Brampton, and he sought to recover the sum of £67 for shop goods, had by the Defendant in the course of three years, who is a labouring man, in possession of a small property, on the strength of which the credit was granted. No defence. Verdict for the Plaintiff for the amount claimed. 16. STEEL and Son......LAWSON, Esq......PEAT...............case.

EWART.—To ascertain a right of road at Harraby, leading to a field called Raper's or Roper's Close, claimed and long enjoyed by Mr. S. ATKINSON, of Carlisle, and disputed by the defendant.

Saturday 17 Jul 1819 (p. 3, col. 2-3) COUNTY SESSIONS. The Midsummer Quarter Sessions for the County commenced at the Court Houses on Tuesday, and ended on Thursday.—Francis YATES, Esq. presided. Thomas HODGSON was found guilty of stealing two pair of spurs, and a bridle head and rein, the property of Mr. DODD, saddler, in Penrith, and sentenced to twelve months imprisonment in Carlisle gaol. Alice GRAHAM (the young woman who gave evidence last Sessions against a soldier named NASH, charged with theft,) was found guilty of stealing some wearing apparel belonging to Margaret MOOR, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. Ellen M'DONALD, an itinerant fortune-teller, was found guilty of stealing two bottles the property of T. D. BLEAYMIRE, Esq. of Penrith, and sentenced to be imprisoned one month in Carlisle gaol. Rex, on the prosecution of Mary MILLS, v. James FREARS, for an Assault.—The prosecutrix is a woman advanced in years, and some time back resided at Egremont. On the 10th of July last, her daughter (who has had a child by FREARS) was talking about him in a neighbour's house—he was passing the door at the time, and hearing his name mentioned went in—she immediately ordered him out—he refused, and she attempted to put him out, on which a scuffle ensued; the mother came to her daughter's assistance, and struck FREARS, and he in return gave her a blow on the face which cut her severely. The Jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned one month in Carlisle gaol. The King, on the prosecution of Mary BOUSTEAD, v. Jeremiah SMITH, for an Assault.—The prosecutrix, who deals in meal and flour, was at Carlisle market on the 14th Nov. last. She put her silver and copper, amounting to about £11, into a basket, which she placed in her cart, together with some empty bags. On crossing Caldew Bridge, about six o'clock in the evening, she observed the defendant putting his hand into the basket among the money. On asking him what he wanted there, he used abusive language—said he would knock her down, and struck her several severe blows with a stick. The sister of the prosecutrix interfered, and asked him what, what he wanted in their cart?—when she received as bad usage as the prosecutrix. They afterwards learnt he was a Custom-house officer, but were positive he did not say he was so, or that he suspected there were smuggled goods in the cart. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of guilty. The Bench pointedly reprimanded SMITH for the brutality of his conduct, and recommended him to agree with the prosecutrix, which he did, and the Court then fined him 1s. The King, on the prosecution of Elizabeth SOWERBY, v. Wm. FOWLER and Thos. RIDLEY, for an Assault.—The defendants are special bailiffs. On the 25th Nov. last, they went with an attorney's clerk, to seize the goods of David LING, near Raughtonhead, for a debt due to John SCOTT. On their arrival at LING's house, part of the goods had been removed, which, they were informed, had been taken to the house of Mr. SOWERBY, where the defendants went. On entering the house they asked Mrs. SOWERBY where her husband was? She told them he was in in the garden, and would let him know: RIDLEY gave her several pushes with a large stick, and ordered her to bring her husband directly, saying they would "mak a bonny sessions on him." Mr. SOWERBY came, and asked them if they had any thing against him? The attorney's clerk then read the warrant, and told him they believed part of the goods were in his house—that they must seize them according to instructions, and that if they were doing wrong he had his remedy. He then ordered the bailiffs to remove the furniture. Mrs. SOWERBY attempting to prevent the removal, they pushed her violently from them, and threatened to knock her brains out.—The defendants were found guilty, and sentenced each to pay a fine of £10 to the King, and to be imprisoned till such fine be paid. Rex, on the prosecution of Eliz. SOWERBY, v. John SCOTT, for an Assault.—This action arose out of the transactions detailed in the preceding trial. The defendant, John SCOTT, went with two horses and carts to take away the furniture seized at Mr. SOWERBY's. In the yard he was met by Mrs. SOWERBY, who asked what he wanted there? and ordered him out. He then struck her with a large stick, over the left shoulder and the right temple, which were much hurt and a branch of the temporal artery was cut: she was insensible from the loss of blood. The assault being clearly proved, the Bench directed the Jury to find the defendant guilty, and he was sentenced to pay a fine of £20 to the King, and be imprisoned till the fine be paid. The King, on the prosecution of Wm. FOWLER and Thomas RIDLEY, versus David LING and Wm. SOWERBY and Elizabeth his wife.—This action also originated in the arrest of LING's goods. In removing the goods, the plaintiffs were obstructed by the defendants. LING struck at FOWLER with a large stick and broke his arm. Mr. WHARTON, bone-setter, was of opinion that the injured arm could never be properly restored. As the evidence did not bear upon the defendants SOWERBY and his wife, the Jury, under the direction of the Bench, immediately acquitted them, and found LING guilty. In consequence of his inability to pay a fine, he was sentenced to one month's imprisonment in Carlisle gaol. Nine Insolvent Debtors were discharged, and three remanded, viz. Edward WELTON, for gross fraud, in wilfully damaging his farm, and holding over:—Henry WILLIAMSON, for gross fraud, in obtaining fifty pounds under promise of giving a mortgage security, his wife consenting, which was afterwards refused, and the money not returned to Mr. WILSON the detaining creditor:—Wm. WILSON, confined for a debt of fifteen pounds, admitted he had received £20 three days ago which he has now in his hands.

NEWS ITEMS. “SOLD” – At Musgrave Station on Wednesday, a passenger who had paid the large sum of two-pence for a ticket to Warcrop, to attend Brough Hill Fair, was railing at the Company for keeping him waiting, whilst they were growing rich out of his patronage. His anger increasing, he told the station master to give him his money and he would walk (a distance of 2 miles). The station master complied, but no sooner had the man got outside the gate, then up came the train. The would-be passenger rushed back and asked for a ticket which the station master very properly, under the circumstances, refused, and amid the jeers of the onlookers, he stood watching the train move off, after which he trudged away to Brough Hill. _________________________________________________________________ PENRITH SEPTEMBER FAIR. – This annual fair took place on Saturday last and Monday. Originally it was established on a basis that indicated success, and promised to become one of the most important gatherings of the kind in the north of England. Of late years, however, it has greatly degenerated, and on this occasion it could scarcely be designated by the name of fair. Not more than a hundred beasts and a few droves of sheep appeared upon the hill at the townhead, and these commanded little attention. The cattle were principally bullocks, with a few very nice milkers and calvers interspersed. A small number of horses were trotted out, but on Saturday we head of only one sale being effected. On Monday scarcely anything was exhibited. A few Yorkshire dealers were present, who evinced a disposition to purchase, even a high prices, any horse possessing any points of merit. ============================================================== barb, ontario, canada.

Saturday 17 Jul 1819 (p. 3, col. 2) CITY SESSIONS. At the Quarter Sessions for the City of Carlisle, held at the Town Hall, on Monday, before William HODGSON, Esq. Mayor, and the two senior Aldermen, Jane GILLESPIE was charged with stealing a piece of printed calico from the shop of Messrs. HESLOP and LITTLE on a Saturday morning while the shop was crowded with people. The prisoner pleaded not guilty, but the theft was very clearly proved, and the jury without a moment's hesitation found her guilty. The prisoner said she was 62 years of age, that she had come from Longtown that morning, on her way to Woolwich where one of her sons was serving in the artillery; that she was a native "of Perth, in Perthshire," and had been "five and twenty years in the army." The Mayor, after admonishing her in an impressive manner, sentenced her to three months' imprisonment only, in consequence of her advanced age.

Saturday 17 Jul 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-3) Our paper, to-day, contains some further particulars relative to the wanton sacrifice of Mr. WALKER's life by a Spanish ship of war. We observe that the subject has been noticed in the House of Commons, and Lord Castlereagh has given assurance that an explanation has been required. It is easy to guess what the answer will be: accident-and there will be no want of regret, either real or affected. And what further can be done? What compensation can be given for the life of so valuable a member of society? Ministers owe it to the nation and to themselves, to notice this melancholy affair in such a manner as shall at least prevent such dreadful outrages in future. On Thursday, as Lister ELLIS, Esq., of Crofthead, was driving his gig over Eden Bridge, on his way to Carlisle, the horse was thrown down by a loose stone, and immediately got up and ran off at full speed into Rickergate, where, in crossing and re-crossing the street, the gig passed over two children who were sitting upon a wheelbarrow, strange to say, without injuring them! Before the horse could be stopped, it broke the windows of two different shops. Mr. ELLIS, and a servant who was with him, were both thrown out: the servant sustained considerable injury, but Mr. ELLIS, we are happy to add, escaped unhurt. On the night of Tuesday last, the boat of Mr. David CARRICK, Jun., of Rockliff-House, was robbed of a large mainsail. Mr. CARRICK having before suffered from depredations of this kind, offered a reward for the discovery and conviction of the offenders-and circumstances have since transpired which will probably lead to their detection. Various mischievous depreciations were committed by a party of fellows, on Saturday night, in Carlisle, Stanwix, and the neighbourhood-such as robbing gardens, stealing lead, pump-handles, &c. A laden timberwain, standing in the road at Stanwix-Bank, was set a-going, on the same night, by which considerable damage was done to the gateway leading to Rickerby. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese held his triennial visitation at Penrith on Monday. The Rev. Mr. JOLLIFFE, of Skelton, preached from Ephesians, ii. chap. verse 19; and his Lordship confirmed 1039 persons. The Earl of Lonsdale and Family arrived at Lowther Castle on Wednesday. Lady Melville arrived at Carleton Hall on Sunday; and the Hon. T. WALLACE, M. P. on Tuesday. H. BROUGHAM, M. P. arrived at Brougham Hall on Tuesday. Warrants were issued on the 8th instant by Sir F. F. VANE, Bart., J. D. B. DYKES, Esq., Thomas WYBERGH, Esq., and Humphrey SENHOUSE, Esq., for the apprehension of several weavers in the neighbourhood of Cockermouth, who had administered and taken oaths, binding themselves not to work for certain persons, &c. The parties were brought up on the 12th, and after a suitable admonition from Mr. DYKES, shewing the evil tendency of their conduct, and of illegal oaths, the offenders expressed themselves sorry for what they had done, and grateful to the magistrates for their leniency. On Wednesday morning, as Capt. GARDINER was bathing at Maryport, he got out of his depth, and was unfortunately drowned. His body was not found till late the same evening. Capt. ASBRIDGE, who was in company with him, nearly shared the same fate. A young man was drowned at Longtown, on Thursday, while bathing in the Esk. Wigton Annual Races took place on Thursday, and the sport was excellent. The chief prize was won by Mr. ROUTLEDGE's bay horse, beating Dr. ROBSON's bay mare, after two well contested heats. Mr. R.'s horse has run twelve times, and has not yet been beaten. Thursday last was St. Swithin's Day, and the lachrymose Saint wept not a drop-at least not with us-and, of course, we shall have dry weather for forty days to come! At the triennial Visitation and Confirmation held at Appleby on Tuesday last, by the Lord Bishop of Carlisle, upwards of 1870 young persons were confirmed. His Lordship in his charge expatiated upon the duties of Clergymen in general, and observed that it was fully his determination not to ordain any but those who by a proper course of study were sufficiently qualified.-An excellent Sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. ROBINSON, of Clifton, which was very ably delivered. As Mr. Wm. RICHARDSON, of Murton, was returning home from Appleby, on Monday last, he had the misfortune to fall from his horse, and received so severe a concussion on the head that he lingered until Wednesday morning and expired. On Wednesday last, a little girl belonging to John ARMSTRONG, of Wigton, auctioneer, fell through an iron grate into a cellar, and escaped without sustaining any serious injury. The same child, who is only three years old, has had both shoulders dislocated by accidents. And of J. A.'s children, five in number, four have had limbs either broken or dislocated. It was mentioned in this paper a short time ago, that one of them fell into a draw-well in Carlisle, and escaped unhurt. Rape.-Saturday se'nnight, a poor girl, only ten years of age, was brutually [sic] violated near the Bowling-green, Whitehaven. The infamous villain has hitherto eluded the vigilance of the police. Shocking Depravity.-A few days ago, as a party were tippling at a public house, a few miles out of town, a boy, about four years old, was called out of bed to entertain them with repeating shocking oaths, and was rewarded with a collection of halfpence for his trouble! In hopes that this hint may produce a reformation, or at least put an end to the practice, we forbear mentioning names.-Should the offence be repeated, we shall publish the landlord's name, in order that he may be deprived of his license, and punished for his wickedness.-Whitehaven Gazette. On Monday last Neil M'GLAUGHLAN, alias GILLEN, and Robert BROWN, alias M'F**, from Dumfries, present prisoners in the jail of Edinburgh, were served with indictments to stand trial before the High Court of Justiciary, on the 21st July, for murder and robbery. ========== The following letter from Genoa has been received at the Underwriters' room, Liverpool:- "GENOA, June 14. SIR,-We must now acquaint you, that the schooner Brunswick, of and from your place, Alexander FENTING, master, arrived yesterday in this port, and having learned, that during her voyage she met with a very unfortunate occurrence of a most lamentable and shocking nature, we hasten to communicate it to you, for the information of the Committee. We think we cannot fulfil our duty better on this occasion than in transmitting a copy of the minutes extracted from the journal on board of said schooner. Copy of the Minutes.-June 1.-Light breezes, and clear pleasant weather. People employed variously. At five o'clock several sail in sight, Cape St. Maria, N. N. E., distant about five leagues, under all possible sail, studding sails low and aloft. At 10, saw a ship on our larboard bow, under her topsails. At 11 p. m. hove his main top-sail to the mast, and fired a gunshot athwart our bow: we ran under his stern; he hailed us in English 'What vessel and where from?' Answered 'Brunswick, of Liverpool, and from Liverpool,' and several other questions, which were all correctly answered. He ordered us to heave-to and to run leeward of him. We took in our studding-sails, square sails, &c. wore and ran under his lee, on the starboard tack, distant from him a good cable's length. He sent his boat along-side, when the above questions were repeated, which we answered as before; likewise asked the schooner's and master's name, what cargo? and was answered a general cargo for Genoa, Leghorn, and Smyrna. About five minutes after his boat left us, he bore up, and run right on board of us: his anchor taking our gunwhale before the main rigging, and while he lay in that situation, fired a gun in the wake of the fore-rigging, which severed the body of Mr. WALKER, passenger, and wounded two others, namely, his servant, Alexander M'CASTLE, in the right arm and hand, and likewise his face, and Charles WATERSON, seaman, in the eyes, and blew several holes in the main-sail. Having severed the peak to get clear of him, they were on the point of firing two other guns, when we hailed him repeatedly, and told him we were English. We fortunately got clear without his assistance: he never even sent a hand to bear off, or satisfy us at all. We got our square-sail set, and were proceeding on our course, when he hailed us a second time, and ordered us to heave to; he then sent a boat alongside with an officer in captain's uniform, and endeavoured to represent it as an accident: he was very civil, and apologized, saying, that a Patriot brig had taken a Spanish frigate with 500,000 dollars on board. He offered us every assistance if we would lay to till the morning. After finding the two wounded men were not in immediate danger, we refused it. Tried the pumps, and found we made no more water than while foul of him. We carried away our bulwarks on the starboard quarter, boats, davits, and die: suffered sundry damages in the rigging and sails, stove the jolly-boat in, &c. "From the information we received from the boat's crew, we learned, that she was a Spanish frigate, name Bronte, and was formerly a Russian frigate. We remain, very respectfully, "Your most obedient humble servants, (Signed) "CAET, DIAGO, and WALSH "John Conway, Esq., Secretary to the Committee, Underwriters'-room, Liverpool." Extract of a letter from Mr. Barnabas MAUDE, dated Leghorn, June 22. (received at Kendal): "My wife and I are much engaged in doing all in our power to comfort the afflicted-two Cumberland ladies, who arrived here three days ago, Miss WALKER and Miss GIBSON, from Whitehaven: they came in a Liverpool vessel called the Brunswick, along with the brother of Miss WALKER; but near Gibraltar they had the misfortune to fall in with a Spanish frigate which fired into the vessel when close alongside and poor Mr. WALKER was killed upon the spot. You will see the particulars of this shocking and infamous business in the papers."
