At York Assizes an innkeeper named James SHAW recovered £l3 17s. 6d. from a person named Marmaduke HORSLEY, for particulars some of which excited much merriment in court: one item was, "To damage done to the bed you slept on £2;" another, "To a man for picking you up on the road and rubbing you down with straw, 1s." The Chief Baron, who tried the cause, lamented that its being undefended deprived the court and the country of a further warning insight into the just consequences of excessive drunkenness! On Tuesday evening se'nnight, the shepherd of Mr. R. ROBINSON, of Helsington Laiths, near Kendal, went to view and count his master's flock. Finding one of the number to be wanting, and looking attentively for it, he at last heard a sheep bleat, when to his great surprise he observed the poor animal at the top of an ash tree covered with ivy, seven yards from the ground, from which elevated station it seemed to beg for immediate assistance. The shepherd being afraid to undertake the task himself, went home for the aid of his fellow-servant, who, not giving credit to his account, at first refused to accompany himbut being at length prevailed upon to go, the sheep was brought in safety down from his perilous situation.
