^ 2 s ~ ISI PRIUS COURT . —Tfesdat . XBefore Lord Dernnan and a Special Jury . ) Jewi 5 O 5 r . Dtso : s . This case occupied the Court the whole of yesterday , and was resumed this morning . > Ir . Ckesswell , Mr . Elus , l » rr . Mastic , and Mr . Robisso > " conducted the p" . aintiiTs case . Mr . Wortley , Mr . Watso . n , and Mr . JLlrdt appeared for the defendant . The tjlainiiff is the Coroner of the Honor of Poutefract * belor-gi ^ g to the Duchy of Lancaster , and the defendant is one of tie Coroners of the County of York . The question raised was whether the defendant was entitled to hold inquests within the Honor of Pontefract .
A great deal of documentary evidence was adduced , by which it appeared that a large portion of She West Riding of York is contained within the Honor of Pontefract , which was created in the reign Of Edward III . In the 16 ih year of that reign , Henry first Duke of Lancaster had a grant of the Duchy of Lancaster , by which the " Jura Regaha , and the power of appointing all necessary officers , were conveyed to him . On the part of the plaintiff . It was contended that the grantee , by the term of the charter , had a right to appoint a coroner , and that he and his successors had " , in varioos parts of England attached to the duchy , exercised that right confirmed Act of Parliament in tie
Thi gram was by S 5-, h and 38 th year of the same reign . The dachy descended to Blanche , the daughter of the nrst Duke of Lancaster , who married John o Gaunt , at whose death Richard II . then took possession of it , and subsequently granted the Honor of Pontefract to the Duke of Albemarle . The plaintiff ' s claim was founded on the title of the Duke of Albemarle , For the defendant a great mass of evidence was "brought forward to show that so fax back as the tagh . of Henry II-, up to the present time , the coroners of the county of York had always exercised jurisdiction in the Honor of Pontefi aci . Mr . CsssswKii having replied ,
Lord Delias summed up ; and the Jury , after a short consultation , found a verdict for the plaintiff . Several law points were reserved for the opinion ot ihe court tbore .

Jennings , and Hiram Yewdall , were committed to Wakefield House of Correction for trial , oa 4 charge of having robbed Joseph HolliDgwortb , a waiter at the White Horse Inn . It appears that on the Thursday night previous , the prosecutor was passing alone Yorkstreet , when he saw font men Btanding together , one of whom accosted him by name , when , thinking he knew them , he stood and spoke to them . They asked him to pay for some ale , and for this purpose , he went with them towards Accommodation Road , under preteace of coins to a
beer-house , and when in a lonely part of the road , he was knocked down , and robbed of 2 s . 6 d . in silver , and 3 d . in copper , a knife , and some other trifling articles . He distinctly swore to Brewer and Kershaw ; the evidence against the others rested on the testimony of a watchman , who Bald he bad seen the four together near the place where the robbery was committed , about the time it was alleged to have taken placo , and from the fact of a knife ( sworn to by the prosecutor ) found on the person of a girl with whom they were found in bed on Friday morning . Mr . Naylor appeared for Yewdall , who is of respectable connections at Bradford .
Leeds Northeen- Typographical Union . —On Saturday last , the members of the Leeds Branch of the Northern Typographical Union celebrated their fourth anniversary at the house of Mr . Wright , the Green Man Inn , Dewsburv Road , when a large party sat down to a very plentiful , substantial , and excellent dinner , under vhe presidency of Mr . Thoa . Floyd-, the secretary of the society . After ample justice bad been done to the good things , and the cloth had been drawn , a number of loyal , patriotic , and professional toasts were given by the Chairman and other members ; some good songs were Bang ; and the evening was spent in a spirit of the kindest unity and good feeling . The entertainment was such as to reflect great credit on the worthy host and hostess .
The Chartist or Leeds , being determined to manifest their gratitude and esteem for that noble champion of liberty , Feargns O'Connor , Esq ., have formed a Demonstration Committee , with power to add to their number , and for the purpose of more effectually carrying out their laudable intentions , they are anxiously desirous that the most decided union and good fellowship should characterise all their proceedings , and that for once and for ever a concentration of effort should be made . To this end our friends in the neighbouring villages are respectfully solicited to allow themselves to be placed upon the Committee , and give their best aid in demonstrating to the enslaved votaries of indolence and wealth , ' What workmen can do when their hearts are on fire , For the hero they love and the chief they admire . "
Several members have already taken the liberty of proposing some of our excellent friends at Hunslet , Upper Wortley , Holbeck , Woodhouse , and elsewhere , to serve on the committee , and we trust that many more of the " good men and true" of those places , Chapeltown , Bramley , Arnaley , K irkstall , Haiton , and the rest , will immediately favour us with their assistance in ringing the death knell of faction by contributing their advice on this occasion . The next committee meeting will be held in the Association Room , Shambles , to commence precisely at eight o ' clock , on Wednesday , the 28 th , in the evening , when the mode of raising the necessary supplies , and other important matters relative to future arrangements , will be determined upon .
Duffy , the liberated Chartist—Poor Dnffy , who was committed for three years to that hell of hell ? , Northallerton Gaol , was liberated some two month ago , for fear he should die in gaol . On account of his ruined circumstances , and despite of his emaciated condition , he has been compelled te visit the Chartists of different towns and give lectures for the purpose of obtaining a supply of the necessaries of life . As might have been expected , the exertion of speaking , and walking on foot from town to town , has brought a relapse of his worst gaol attacks upon him , and he now lies in a dying
state in Leeds . The friends here havo visited him and done what they could to supply his present wants ; they , however , are poor , and cannot do much . A good doctor is necessary , and many other comforts , to sate the poor fellow ' s life , and should any Chartist friend in any part of the Queendom have it in his power to subscribe his mite in aid of our distressed brother , such subscription will be thankfully received , and immediately applied to that purpose by Mr . Wm . Hick , at the ofice of the Northern Star .

The greatest consternation prevailed amongst the persons who witnessed the accident , when , upon going to the spot , it was discovered that the boy was lying on the top of tne cornice , which fortunately is very wide . The anxiety that prevailed was speedily relieved by a working man , named Green , residing in the New Kent-road , who instantly got over the parapet and rescued the child from his perilous situation . The boy , upon being put upon his feet , began to cry lustily , aud ran off towards the Borough . A person who came up at the time stated he had told the children to get down some time before .

James Hai gh , who had been convicted of highway robbery , was also sentenced to b « transported for fifteen years .
Joseph Turner aud William Houseley , who had . been convicted of a burglary in the house of VVm . D yson , at Ecclesfield , were then sentenced . —The Learned Judge observed that this burglary had been committed under circumstances ei" particular aggravation ; they had attacked the house of two old persons who were grievously and most fearfully alarmed at their conduct . He ( the Judge ) concluded by observing that it was necessary that a aevere sentence should be passed , for the purpose , if possible , to repress such crimes , and the sentence therefore was that they be transported fourteen years .
Joieph Pilling , who had been convicted of a burglary in the dwelling-house of George Carver , the toll colloctor , at Shelf , was then sentenced . The Judge said the circumstances in this case were also of particular aggravation ; a more violent attack was scarcely ever proved in a court ofjustice , and it was with great difficulty that he could escape with his life trom the violence that was used To be transported for fourteen years . William Smith and James Bailey , who had been convicted of a burglary in the house of William Wilson Tingle , at Low Ash , were severally sentenced to be transported for ten years .

James Parker xpA James Wheldon , who had been COQTioted of forfeary , were next placed at the bar . In the case of the former , The Learned Judgb said it was of the very first importance to repress such offences , and it would be contrary to the intere § t 3 of justice and of the state that snob a crime \ ae | this should be lightly passed over . ' Thesentence of the Court therefore , was , that he should be transported for seven years , Wheldon , who had been convicted on two indictments , was sentenced to be transported for seven years on each of them . The prisoners on leaving the bar said " thank you . Sir . " ' Thomas Stone , Samuel Gelder , &ndSamuel Martin , were next sentenced .
His Lordship remarked that each of them had been convicted of aggravated assaults , in the course of which they had also been guilty of the offence of wounding the parties . It was very fortunate for them that the Juries , before whom they were tried , had acquitted them of the heavy part of the offence . He observed that it was an un-English and unmanly act to use such weapons as they had done . He sentenced them to be imprisoned for one year each to hard labour . John Hanson , who had been convicted of having counterfeit coin itt his possession at Bradford , was sentenced to be imprisoned six calendar months .
William Haggas , who had been convicted of bigamy at Leeds ' , was placed at the bar . The Judge ; said he had been convicted of the crime of bigamy , by which he had inflicted a serioua and irreparable injury upon a woman who seemed to have reposed her confidence in him . It might possibly happen that he was labouring under the impression that his first wife was not alive ; but whether that was so or not , he could not but see that he ought to have made further inquiries , and to have ascertained more particularly the fact before he had entered into so serious a contract . It was necessary that he should pass such a sentence as would act as a warning to others . —To be imprisoned one year to hard labour .
James Dealtry Steele , who had been found guilty of a conspiracy , with intent to defraud , was next placed at the bar , aud on his being asked it' he had anything to s-ay why judgment should not be pronounced ngainst him , Mr . Bliss , his counsel , rose and urged c-i-veral objections to the indictment , the result of which was that the prisoner was ordered to stand down .
THE ALLEGED MURDER AT MIRFIELD . Sarah Goldthorpe , who was charged with the murder of her illegitimate chiid , at Mirfield , and who was found guilty of concealing the birth , was not sentenced , and we understand that she will be kept in custody till the next Assizes , an objection having been taken to the pronouncing of juugmem against her for the offence in question . John Fothergill , who had pleaded Guilty to assaulting Mr . Child , of Leeds , was sentenced . His Lordship said that ho ( the prisoner ) was in company with other persons who had been guilty of a very aggravated assault in wounding and cruelly beating the officers of the peace . He , however , did not appear to have done more than encouraged the ether parties , nor did there appear any premeditation on his part , or that he had entered into any common design with them . The sentence of the Court was that he be imprisoned for three months to hard labour .

NISI PRIUS , Thub » i > ay . CRAVIN AND OTHERS V . THOBMHILL . ( Special Jury . J IMPORTANT DECISION RESPECTING " TENANT KIGHT"AND " LANDLOKDRIQHT . " Mr . Cresswell and Mr . Hildvabb- were for the plaintiff ; Mr . Knowles and Mr . Tomlinson were for the defendants . The claim of the plaintiffs was for two sums , ono for £ 289 , and the other £ 62 , of which £ 110 had been pai i into Court . The plaintiffs were tenants of T . f hornhili , Esq ., of Fixby Hall , near Huddersfield . The father of the plaintiffs , some sixteen years ago , became tenant of two farms under Mr . Thornhill , one called Wadland Hills , and the other Woodland Hills , which he occupied till his death .
When he entered on the farms , he paid a certain valuation . Mr . Craven died in March , iS ' 69 , and his three sons ( the p laintiffs ) succeeded as-Je'iants to th >* farms , which they occupied till the autumn of 1830 , when anotios to < juit was served upon them by Mr . Thornh ill's a > gent , Mr . Ramsbottom . Before the period arrived when they were to quit , an intimation- was given by Mr . itainsbottoin , that he had appointed a Mr . Lister to value the out-going crops on ike farms ; the Cravens appointed a Mir . Butler to value on their side . After some delay , caused by Mr . Ramsbottom intimating to Lister that ho had bettsr defer his valuation , as he suspected ihat the Crawns had not truly , staled the terms upon which their father had entered on the farm , the valuation was gone into . The valuers had completed their valuation on the 2 ihh of February , but in
conscquenoe of this intimation , Mr . Lister did not decide the valuation till after May . When he did make his valuation , the defendant said the Cravens had obtained it by fraud . Mr . Butler ' s valuation came to th ? ee hundred and ten pounds for Wadland Hills . Mr . Lister ' s valuation amounted to the sum ot £ 289 , As the two valuers could not agree upon tho anioum , it was determined thai the matter i ^ hould bo referred to a Mr . Smith , as umpire , whose award was to be abided by . Tha boiore-namfd intimation oi Mr . KamsboUom ' s , that there was a-special agreement , prevented an appointed meeting for the umpire to decide this matter ; . and a < Mr . TWmhill ' s agent Defused to pay more than jt' 110 , the present action wasbroushHorecoverthe amount of iho valuation as made by Mr . Thorulull ' s own valuev , Mr .
Lister-Mr . Kaoivles , for the defence , said , that Mr . Thornhill had paid £ 110 into Court , which he contended was sufficient , and more than suffi c ient to pay all that the plaintifld were legally entitled te > . Mr . Craven held , under a special agreement , and had no- right to claim under the custom at' the country . He accused the Cravens of obtaining the valuation by direct falsehood and fraud , iu staling that they entered to the farms without any . special agreement , when the fact was , that they held under
the terms of a lease which had formerl y been granted to a tenant , of the very farm . iu question ; which lease required that a certain proportion of the land only should be ploughed , one-third ; and the Jury would at once infer that the remaining portion , two-thirds , should be left in grass . Ho should also prove that so fai * from James ; Cravea ^ the father of the plaintiffs , haviug paid any valuation when he entered upon the farms as was alleged , he had not paid one single shilling . These facts ho should prows by the mouth of competent witnesses .
Wijnesses werothen examiued for the defence , by whom it was attempted to bo shown that when ; he farms werr taken the cooditions of a lease that had formerly existed were named as the coudilions by which , the tenant would have to abide ; and thai , under those conditions , the sum of £ 11 . 0 , paid imo C ourt b y the defendant , was amply sufficient for the valuation . The difference arose from there being moire than one third of the land under tho plough at the time tha tenant left . Oue of the witnesses , a
Mr . Lee , the former tenant of the farm , was called to prove that ' old Craven" had paid him nothing , as out-going tenant , for tenant-right , or valuation ; aud tliis he swore to most lustily : on cross-examination , however , he Jet out the ugly faet that he had claimed a valuation a 3 out-going tenant ; that it had been allowed hinitotheextent ( heonly occupied oneot the farms ) of more than £ 135 ; that heowed more than £ 100 rent ; aud that Craven had paid Mr . Thornhill the amount of the valuation , which had been set-off against his ( Lee ' s ) arrears of rent .
The lease , under whose provisions it was sought to briu s the Craveus , was also y >\ nin ai \ dtea < i . It turned ou& to have been granted in the year 1792 , to tiie then tenant , and was for a period of fifteen years . The provision which was sought to be established against the plaintiffs was , that during the last two years of the tenure , the holder should not plough more than one-ihird of the land . Mr . Cresswell , in his reply , animadverted in severe terms on the conduct of Mr . Ramsbottom , in bringing charges of fraud against the Cravens , which theevidencohe had offered was incapableof supporting He observed that such men as Mr . Thornhill were completely in the hands of his agents ; and that he was not to blame for the pitiful and humiliating
exhibition which had been made in that Court : but agents were bound , in justice to those whose characters were at stake , to weigh well what tney Were about ; lobe sure that they had a good case before they dragged their principals into a Court of Justice to prefer charges ot fraud and falsehood against honest men , for which charges they had not a tittle of evidence to adduce . With respect to the monstrous attempt that had been made , to bring the Cravens , who were merely tenants from y ear-to-year , liable to be quitted ( as they had been quitted ) by gix month ' s notice ; with regard to the attempt to bring men so situate under the provisions of a lease granted for a certain term of years , he must characterise it as the most impudent and unjust thing that he had ever known . The provisions of the lease where wholly inapplicable to a
yearly tenant . For instance ; the very provision that so much stress had been laid upon , provided that during the last two years of the tenure only one third of the land should be ploughed ;—( it did not require that the remainder should be in grass ;—it it merely required that not more than a certain proportion should be ploughed)—but how could this apply to a tenancy from year to year ! How could the tenant know which were the " two last years of his tenure ? " when six months' notice could quit him \ The attempt was monstrously absurd—and as unjust as it was monstrous . He again characterised the whole defence as miserable and shameful—reflecting disgrace upon those agents of Mr . Thornhill who had made him appeals a man wanting to defraud his tenantry oi' thei jusi rights ; lie was satisfied the attempt woulj

fail . The Jury would stand between his clients and the attempted injustice . -He confidently relied on their giving a verdict for the plaintiffs . Lord Denman then summed up . He observed that this was an important case—a very important one . It involved many and high considerations ; and in order that they might have the case folly before them , he would read over to them the whole of the evidence taken on both Bides , commenting on such portions as he might deem it necessary to give his opinion npon . He claimed their best attention while he did so- His Lordship then read over the evidence , interspersing the several portions of it with observations to the effect , that if the jury were satisfied that the holding
in this case was under written agreement , thai is to say , under the provisions of the old lease produced , they would find a verdict for the defendant ; for it would be then apparent that the valuation which had been procured was procured by false pretences : on the contrary , if they were satisfied that the provisions of that lease were , as had been ably contended , wholly inapplicable to a tenancy from year-to-year , and that ttie valuation which had been made , was made in accordance with the custom of the country , ( and of all these things they muse judge from the evidence adduced by both parties ) ; if they were of opinion that these things
were so , they would find a verdict for ( he plaintiffs . The Jury retired fcr a short time , aud then returned with a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages to the amount sought : thus , iu the most marked manner setting their face against the attempt WiMOll had been made- to secure to Mr . Thornhill , as landlord , all the advantages of a lease , while the tenantry were left without any of the advantages arising from leases , —amongst which certainty of tenure for the period embraced in the lease is uot the least important . The result is of the highest moment to tenants similarly situated to the teuancfv of Mr . ThornWU .

Staje of Tbade . —The failure of the eminent banking house of Geymuller and Co ., of Vienna , intelligence of which reached this- town by the H&mburgh mail on Monday evening , produced a decidedly- unfavourable effect upon our yarn market yesterday ; the Gorman buyers generally suspending . their operations until the effect of this unexpected and extensive failure is better ascertained . The amount of business done was consequently very small ; and rather lower prices were , in many instances , submitted to . The demand for manufactured goods was also extremely limited , and
the business done in printing cloth was generally at rather lower rates . We think it right to state , in reference to the engagements of the banking house of Daintry , Ryle , and Co ., which appeared in the Guardian of Wednesday last , that there was an inaccuracy of expression which was calculated to mislead the reader . The liabilities of the ManchesWr firm are upwards of half a million ( in fact , about £ 600 , 000 ) , but a large portion of these is owing to the London bankers ; and the amount which will eventually fall upon Manchester and its neighbourhood is comparatively small . —Manchester Guardian of Wednesday .

THE ADDRESS OF THE FEMALE CHARTISTS OF MANCHESTEB TO THEIR SISTERS OF ENGLAND , IRELAND , SCOTLAND , AND WALES ; Passed at a Public Meeting of their Stje , holden in the Chartist Room , Tib-street , on Wednesday , July 2 \ $ l , 1841 . Sisters in Bondage , —We , the females of Manchester , feel it our duty , at this important crisis , thus to address you , from a conviction that our principles and motives need only to be known to gain your assistance , appreciation , and co-operation , ia gaining our object . Our principles are justice to all , and injustice to none ; a right to subsistence in the land of our birth . It may be asked by those who wish for things to remain as they are—by those who are not actuated
by a desire to save their country irom impending | ruin , why we engage in and concern ourselves about ! politics ? In reply to which we say we have an ' interest in the prosperity of the country . We all : spring from one commoa parent—are the children of j one all-wise Creator , who has provided for all ; ! therefore we have the same right to subsistence , ' though dwelling in a cot , cellar , or garret , where ; forced by circumstances over which we hava had no j controul , as the lady in the drawing-room , or the ballroom , or the Queen upon the throne . ' A love for ourselves , our husbands , our children , '¦ . our country , and everything valuable in existence , I stimulates us to take a part in a struggle which we j conceive calculated to end in saccess , and thus avert ! the awful calamity that has been for some time , and : is now pending over us ; and which will certainly ! overtake us 'f not thus averted .
i We take our stand , also , as a matter of right ; as fully and fairly illustrated by cirenmstances before onr eyes . Surely , if by our labour we ! ire compelled to maintain two Queens at the expence of £ 570 , 910 & year ; and if & female is , allowed to take the highest seat in the state , and : give directions for the government of the country , j we have a right to struggle to gain for ourselves , j onr husbands , brothers , and children , suitable houses , j proper clothing , and good food . Then , Sisters , we i call upon you in behalf of upwards of four hundred I fema ' , who had their husbands torn from them at ¦ the instigation of class-made law in 1839 , and placed r in dungeons for merely viishing to redress the grievances whieh press upon both you and ns ;—left
, without their guardians and protectors at the mercy j of the public , with a forlorn , sorrowful , and agitated 1 mind by day , weep ing and mourning and sighing i over their husbands' sufferings ; and dreary , restless , ! and sleepless hours by uijjht , their children bereft ,, of kind and affectionate fathers , and the longaffec-1 tion snd concord which existed betwixt them cut asunder by the tyranrs . We call upon you on be-1 half of the wives of those unfortunate men , Frost , I Williams , and Jones , who are left disconsolate , } heart-broken , and in a state of anxiety for their i husbands , who are sent across the teas ; subject to , insult , torture , and slavery ; on behalf of the widow , j Mrs . Clayton , whose husband died in Xorthallerton i prison ; and on behalf of the good , true , and virtuous ' men who have suffered , and are now suffering imprisonment .
Sisters , if ever there was a time when it was our . duty to shake off our lethargy , and engage in a grand struggle for liberty , surely it is now . Does ; nos the sword of persecution draw nearer and I nearer every day , tyrannising over U 3 in vari-: ous ways ! Thousands of both males and females i are walking the streets for the want of employment , " compelied to pledge and sell their clothes ) and fnrninir * to purchase food to supply their phy-! sical wants , until their honses and clothes boxes are i nearly empty , while the pawn-brokers and furniture-I brokers'shops are wedged and crammed with the : furniture and clothes of the industrious poor . Our
1 «**«« B * S ^ 4 t . W * I granaries are full of the food whieh providence has i sent , and the warehouses are full of clothing , while 1 thousands are starving . How grievous must it be to see our husbands wandering the streets , wil l ing to woik but unable to procure it , thrown out in con-; sequence of the improvements which have been made in machinery ! What can be more piercing andheart-; rending to a woman than to hear her offspring cry-1 ing for food to satisfy the cravings of hunger , and ; she none to give to them ! And after pledging and selling all they have , driven to begging from their neighbours , who are in the same condition as themsehes , or nearly sol
What prospect is there for ns , when our husbands are supplanted by machinery , except to emigrate to a foreign land , or be inmates of a Poor Law bastile , which will be inevitably the lot of a large number of our fellow creatures without a speedy change ? Sisters , suffering humanity cries for your assistance at this mo 3 t important crisis , to endeavour to alleviate the miseries which every where abound amongst the industrious , yet starring millions . We ' ask ibr nothing but what is consistent with ihe laws which God has laid down in the unerring standard « f divine irmn—the Scriptures , and exemplified in the laws of nature .
: i ' : The fowls of the air , the fishes of the Bea , thebeasts ! of the field , and etery other living agent , have enough , 1 without either toiling or spinning , while we can : scarcely get sufficient to keep body and soul together , ' for working twelve or thirteen hours per day . : Should such a state of things exist , when there is suf-¦ Scient for every man , woman , and child in existence ? Justice and common sense say no ! Then why is it ; that , in ihe midst of plenty , we are in such a con-1 dition ? Why is it that those who are willing to work , that those who have produced everything
valuable in society , without whom the factories would not have been built , the machinery made , the railroads constructed , the canals cut , who build and man the ships , who fight the battles , make their ha T . s , shoes , and coats , and till the land—cannot get enough to quell the ravings of hunger I Why , because they have no power to make laws that influease the distribution of such wealth . It rests with the industrious people whether they wili anylongersubmittoa system so wicked , fraught with injustice and misrule .
Up , then , brave women of England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales , and join U 3 in the cry for the Charter , which will protect labour , and secure plenty , comfort , and happiness to all J Give ns vonr > upport in paying due respect to our charepions who are about to be released from their dungeon ? , and lead us en to victory , namely , O'Connor , O'Brien , and Benbow . Sisters , in the cause of democracy , we remain , Yours , in the bonds of affection , The Female Chabtjsts of Manchester . Hannah Leggeth , Treasurer . Sarah Cowle , Secretary .

One thing connected with this trial must not be lost sight of : it was the means of bringing the " good Old King , " Mr . Oastlcs , once more into Yorkshire . The plaiutiff's attorney applied to Mr . Richard Oastler , as is Ubual when it is imagined that evidence can be obtained , for information connected with the subject in dispute , with a view to subpoena him as a witness . Mr . Oastler , however , as was learned from Mr . Cressweli ' s opening speech , refused to give any
information that way at all ; pointing to his peculiar situation with regard to Mr . Thornhill ashis excuse . The plaintiffs had him removed from the Fleet Prison upon a Writ of Habeas Corpus , for the purpose of giving evidence it it was needed . Mr . Cresswell , however , did not call him into the box , as his case was fully established by the two witnesses he did call ; but he offered to place him in the box , if the other side wished it . Tins , Mr . Ramsbottom did Bot desire—so Mr . Oastler was not examined .
The " good Old King" looked much better than could be expected , considering that be has lately been suffering from an intermittent fever , brought on by excessive fatigue . He is recovering rapidly from its effects ; and we sincerely hope that the jaunt he has just had into his beloved Yorkshire , at Mr . THoKNHiLt ' s expeisce , —( the verdict carries costs III)—will completely restore him to health . It was pleasing to see the manner in which all parties , Whig aud Tory , paid their respect to hoiwmjr and integrhit in the person of the respected Oastler . The cordial greetings and hearty shakings of hands between
him and barristers , and gentlemen suitors , defendants , jurymen , and witnesses , and attorneys , and coroners , and farmers , and labourers , were truly delightful to witness ! One scene was peculiarly affecting . Mr . Oastler met an " old and faithful ( fellow ) servant "—one wh © has been discarded like himself—( Ramsbottom and Redhead know why in both oases !)—and whom he had not seen before for several years . There they stood together !—the " Old King , " and the oleSer man—the "faithful steward , " Oastler , and tha no-less faithful James Thompson . The meeting was so cordial , so affectionate , that many an eye was moistened amongst the lookers on .
Mr . Oastler had the pleasure of seeing Mr . O'Connor in his cell twiee during 1 the day he was at York . He was evidently highly gratified at being favoured with the opportunity the trial afforded him of meeting Mr . O'Connor so much sooner bhan he expected . We heard Mr . Oastler declare , after he had left Mr . O'Connor , that the room * in which he is confined is much worse than the strong aooii where the refractory prisoners are confined in the Fleet ; and in this opinion Mr . Oastler was fully borne out by the officers who had him in charge . Mr Oastler ( vrith his two attendants ) arrived in York on Wednesday evening ; he departed back to his prison by the quarter to nine o ' clock train on Friday morning ; and would sleep in the Fleet that night . He was evidently much gratified with this visit to Yorkshire ; it fully proved to him that he holds the increased esteem aud good-will of all who know him .
