Ktta ^ He Trts sorry that suck a * srepB . <» T , lc and disgraceful proceeding should navebeen adsotted By an officer of the excise—a "proceeding math more disgraceful than any evemndertakeli by 4 common-informer . He then , adverted to the testimony of the main witness for the prosecution ( Davidson ) with a view to show the little credit of which "he was deserving . He contended that , as there was » second person -srith Mm , lie must have heard -what passed DetweenHm tod the coachman , relatite to the distance twang sx miles ; that person was not forthcoming and wonld not appear . : there
was , therefore , every probability that the whole story , regarding the distance , was a complete fabrication , -Birch ne ( Davidson ) came there and stated , on oath , fc > l > e true . But he < ronld prove that the distance Was generally admitted to be five miles . It was certainly never called sx miles to the Stanhepe Arms . Mr . Ward Mas 2 nad attempted to prove tout the ffistance iras thOy five miles and two hundred and fifty yards ? sow , he ( Mr . Marshall ) should-prove that , from Q » General Post-office , the distance was enly 5 miles and one hnndred and ten yards ; and from fiie Court House , from which all djSances are to bemeasnred nnder the Leeds Improvement Ac ^ ie should prove it to be only fonr mSes and 1693 yerds ^ -sixty-seven yards short © f five miles . M * . Ward objected to the Leefe Improvement Act as being -unconnected with ike case . The sistate upon which he went , was "a general statute
« nd hot a local one : and the local statute could act % oatravene a general statute * . , Mr . Mabshaia resumed tkat this act ( the Leeds Improvement Act ) was know * to evfry coachman upon the stand . Every oosdhman acted undertnat ¦ act ; andwnat dilemmas sareht they-not be placed in if that act was contrswoKdr That act said that so man should refuse to take a fare for any coach or carriage ; and all distances were to be -computed from the Court Hon » . But leaving that ' point , he might , if he chose , object to the information , and any gentleman at ail-acquainted with the law would admit that the information was not at all correct By the infbrmat » B 4 he party might be-charged with laving let a saddle terse , and not a horse and coach . But be snonld BoTsage this objecrioivbecause though he was confident at would succeed , Mr . Lee was anskms that the case should rest upon its own merits . He should now call his witnesses .
Robert Bbooghtox , Mr . Lee ' s coachman , was then called . < Be * aid—I remember the 2 Sth ef Nov * , « nd the person earned Davidson coming to hire my coach to go to Honsforth . I < £ d aiot tell them t&e distance , * 3 * hey did not ask the distance . The two men vrhsn they Hied the coach were standing close by the coach wheel , and tie other man must have heard what passed between me and Davidson . If 1 had-said-the distance was ~ ax miles , he must have hewd mersay so . We reaiained about half an hour at Horsftath . It is custotaary with hackney coachmen to ask a little more than they intend to take
ad they ore entitled to charge so much for waiting . CrosKexamined by "< Mr . Ward . We generally cbarge * ne shilling a mBe , and sixpence a mile of jasse&gers return . - ¦ M r ; Fowler , land scrveyor , was then called , w-ho * a id- ikat he had measured the distance between -the ^ Pest-office and the Stanhope Arms , assd that it ~ ras not-more than five 3 n 3 ps and one hundred and ten yards ; and that frod the Court Hoese it- was 4 our "jolles and seventeerfhundred and nuw ^ y ^ tlirec'vards . He said that the measurement by a -wheel , " &e instrument with which Mr . Grosveoor had measured , -could not be corrSc-t on account of the : nEdo } arions
¦ on the road . Mr . Boyse , foreierly a post-master at Hoisforth , stated that he lad been in the habit of letting horses dfex , and that fee never charged for more lhan five miles ; that his accounts were always- passed by the collector . Mr . Lee ' s B&oxe £ eper was then calle-d , ' * ho stated that oil the evening of the 4 ay "in . qafcstiou ihe coachman broaght Mm elevea--shillings , the sum of Ms day ' s earnings ; that he askrtl him whether he had had a datj job , and he answered te > . had not ,-Mr . Warc then summed « p the 1 evidence , or rather preterided to do so . He justified the conduct of Dandson ^ n every respect , and pnnsed it as marking his diligence in his calling . Hk "made a
tremendons effert at eloquences' ™ wiiwvhe-completely ialied ; in fact , his speech cxKKtmned as-much common sense as would be found iaTeading ' -a . dezt ? n columns of words arranged for a . scbtwS boy's s pelling task .-A smile of can tempt and ridicule wai visible on ahno » t every face jc the Court , and we "observed that it waswith ^ great difficulty that « ime who were , present refrained from bursting iuto ' -fite of laughter . He concluded by insolently saying to Mr . Fowler that he hoped the world -would avail itself of Mr . Fowler ' s plan of measarmiient . - * TiL « , it was e » 4-dent , was intended lor an insult ; because M «* Fowler ' s / plan is the plaa of all . practising laud surveyors . ^ % . f - ^ I ^» -x ¦¦¦ ¦ ¦ - *¦« +-T * a « n **»¦¦ » 3 . f ^ j ^ A AT TTIQ rU ^ T" ! ri C ?? l ? n

WiSf Ikdia Cocoa Fibxs . —Two Milus and i . D&ESSiNG Machine . —At tbe meedng of Poor Law Guardians for this town , on Friday last , it was agreed by the gentleman then present , that Mr . Hoatson , who is about to make a journey to Liverpool , be deputed to purchase a ton of "West India Cocoa Fibre for the purpose of giving employment to the poor in the workhouse , by dressing it , and getting it ready to be applied in the manufacturing of beds for their accommodation and use , as its elasticity and durability it is said are superior to flocks or straw for workhouse beds . It was also agreed at the same meeting , that two mills and a dressing machine be ordered for the purpose of testing the industrious habits of all -vagrants who may hereafter apply for relief , as they Trill be required to take the step upon the wheel before they can obtain any , as it
seemed to be tie opinion of some gentlemen then present , that k was high time that some mode should be adopted in order to repress the increase of Tagrmncy . It was stated that Power , the Poor Law Trampidg Commissioner , had been requested to go down to the workhouse , in order to inspect it , and see wtxt alterations would be required , when he most -graciously accepted the offer , and afterwards he Suggested several slight improvements J two rooas -were ultimately pointed out for tbe use of the ¦ Vagrants , but they would require more room for a mill , in order to test the necessity of able-bodied Vagrants . A new workhouse is in contemplation of being built , so that care was recomasnded in the laying out of expenses till that was determined on . Mrs . Casson , the present matron , and her son , Benjamin Casson , have been appointed to the office of master and matron , under the new regulations .
Factoky Informations *—Joseph Taylor , millowner , of Stainland , was summoned by Mr . Berry , tbe Superintendent of Factories , to ans-wer to certain -charges made against him ; first , for working a-child under thirteen years of age , named "WilliamSiddal , without a certificate ; second , for working han a longer time than was allowed by law ; and third , for having no school voucher . for attends ance at school . The ttefeadant pleaded the child wjtrid not obtain a certificate from the medical man , which was denied by Kir . Berry , as he said be , would not have refused if application had been made to him . It appeared the child bad been working for an -elder brother , who was ill in tbe typhus fever ,
and' -that the parents were afraid he would loose his wbrk in consequence of Ms illness , therefore they , tbe parents , had sent tbe younger one , who was unier age , to work in his stead . Mr . Berry called tbe defendant " s * 3 on , Sydney Tayter , who acknowledged tbe information to be correct , hut that he and kis father were ignorant of the provisions of tbe law . The child had been working for three weeks . The illness of tht elder , brother w-as fully cerroborated in respect of the infectious disease- ; and Mr . Berry allowed that the fact of tbe boy having been sent to work for his brother might plead something in mirigationK ) f the offence . Taylor was convicted in the mitigated penalty and expenses , on the three
informations , £ 5 . —John Whitebtrad'was summoned to answy an information for a child not having a . < choolviDUcber for its attendance at-scbool two hours a day during the six working -d ^ ys of the week This arose out of a 'circumstance in which the schooteiaster was to Maine , who is in the habit of occasrcnally surrendering himself to the pleasures of Bacchanalian sports for a' considerable lengti of time ^ iogviber , it havfag been itated that he tooii to driniing on Good Friday , and did sot return te the schenl before tbe other week . It was contended that the master was certainly responsible for not ha *! iig engaged -another -schoolmaster ; but tie raegistratt . s miafct forego tfee infliction cf the

Tbe de f endant was ordered to pay costs , Is . —Thomas Dysou , of Greetfand , was -semmoned to answer to an information for working a . child , under 'thirteen jvars of age , above nine hours . It was stated bj 'Mr . Bern-, that the child bad been worked eleven hours on one day . The defendant denied"li » e charge , saying he had Veen employed above the time by a blubber , who bad him as a piecer . Mr . Saundere contended that if it could be proved- it -had been done withort his knowlodse or consent , the man would be liable . Afttr s « ne altercation ^ had taken place batwist them , in which ic was stated that ultimately one or the other must be convicted , and
further expenses would-be incurred by '• a postponement , the master conseEted to the conviction , which was mitigatsd to 35 * ., -radiidinjr costs . —Three informations were preferrad against "Wm . Balmtorth , for having empioyed a child in his mill withont a certificate ; also for the said child "being under thirteen years of age , and having no voucher for his attendance at school . 'He denied having employed the child -at all , but u-as told nevertheless he was liable fur his servants . He also denied hating eznploy * d « . biin above-ibe time , as t&at wjw done bv Nutter ,-one of his serrants . He vastold that if be

-Jlto ^ Q ^ fei ^ r A B > d Sbnant *— On Wedne 8 ^; tb « i 6 ^ inst an | , " sfeps were taken to ren ^ VB TiwmaB Soivreira feom the Odd ¦ Fellow ' s Hale , ^ Bere he had been acting ai servant for soine time . It appears that Towers had begun to think that the property was bis Owny and that he had no right to render any account of any goods that might bav < 3 been placed ia his eate . For months past he has refused to pay any money , or lay the books before a committee , which ^ had been appointed to manage the business of the Hall ; and after
remonstrating with him UHtil it : was proved to be of no use , they determined to dislodge him by summary process , arid on Wednesday a pretty round hamber of the members of the order asseftibled on the spot for the purpose : In about ten minates after the wbrd of command was given , every vestige of property belonging to Towers appeared to be 6 a the move , and was finally conveyed from the premises , after which be was carefully conducted to the same place , and the Hall left in possession of the committee .
Fatal Accident . —On Monday morning last , Mr . John Burton was found in a quarry near Smithy Mill , where , from all appearance , he must have been laid for many hours . It appeared that he had been at a public-house at Monk Bretton , and was returning home on Sunday evening ^ and through some inadvertency fell into the quarry , the depth of 34 feet . He lingered in great agony till Thursday morning , when death put a period to his misery . Accident at Elsecar . —We are sorry to learn that Shaw-, theboy whom we stated in our last was burnt at Elsecar , is since dead .
Barnsley Odd Pellows' Hall . — During the last week considerable excitement prevailed amongst the above order , in consequence of one of their numbers , named Towers , who is the Host at the Hall , refusing to leave the Inn at the expiration of his notice . This eventhas caused considerable agitation in the society , as they appear to have no other means of getting him out of the house but by a regular orocess of law , which will be some time in taking its course .
Dreadful Case of Cruelty by a Horsebreaker . —Mr . Joseph Haigh , preferred the following charge against William Lockwoodi Mr . Haigh said , on the 28 th of April , Lockwood came to my stable , and took a black mare to break ; he is an assistant to Jerry Wisher , horse-breaker , of Dodwortb . At six o ' clock the following morning , I was called out of bed to look at the mare ^ when I found her dreadfully mutilated , and one side of her head was so swollen , that it was impossible to say whether the eye was there or not , and one of the shoulders was twice as thick as the other . The nostrils were also very much swollen . A witness said , about eight o ' clock on the evening of the 28 th ,
the defendant canre to him , and asked to be allowed to put a colt into a sboeing-shed , to which witness consented , and the defendant then set olf up a lane , with Mr . Haigh's mare , and beat her most unmercifully upon the head with a stick , and then galloped nflfin the direction of Oxspring . On his return , the mare was in a bad condition , and parted with a deal of blood , while she stood a few minutes at our door , which Lookwood ordered the servant to wash away . Mr . Grey-, veterinary surgeon , said , I attended the mare , or Sunday , the 29 th , and I found her in the state as described to you by Mr . Haigh . The wounds could not have been done by a fall , and the injuries must have been done with a stick . Lockwood said in his defence that he had done no more
than was necessary to bre-ak in the inare . Archdeacon Corbett—But to break in horses in thut way is the greatest brutality , and such casea neither can nor ehall be permitted to pass unpunished . I really think that neither you nor your employer will be any more engaged , owing to your cruelty ; and if this transaction appears in the public prints , you will be punished sufficiently by paying 4 <) s . und £ 1 damages . Better Late than NEVtli .-On Sunday last , John Sawkill and Mary Crossley , both ot Worsbro' Cornmoft , were married at the Parish Church of that place . It is somewhat strange that this couple should have been living together in a state of single blessedness for upwards of 33 years . Mary was married -a few' years . ppevious to taking
up with Sawkill , to a person of the name of Crossley , who went for a soldier , " but Mary preferred remainini ; at home . However , after suiferinK the fatigues of tnariy campaigns , poor Crossley returned home , findTouh'd his beloved in the arms of Sairkillj ' who refysod to give . her up . AJI went on well until about three weeks sini > e , when that part of Crossley's fet't on which his big toes used to grow , began to turn up , and all hopes of his ? longer remaining on this side the river were lost : ; and Sawkill repaired to the Parish-Church , and deposited Is . 6 d . } n the hands of theClerlc , and told hitn that as soon as Crbssley'sbeHpws had ceased to blow , be might tell his ^ master to publish the b : iniis of marriage between-him and Mary , which was done , and they got married on Sunday r last .
BSAX > POXU > . BaADFo-Kn Poor Law "Union . —At the meeting of Guardians yesterday week , it whs determined that the Board should commence hearing the applications of persons for relief at eleven o clock every Friday . Tins will enable applicants to know what time to attend , and thereby prevent unnecessary waiting . ! Stevens , the Hawker . —It will be recollected that this individual was a fe * v raoRths ago convicted in the penalty of £ 10 , by M . Tbompson , Ej * q ., for an infringement of the L « iensed Hawkers' Act . His case excited a good deal of sympathy at the time .
He appeared to have been -a victim to an excessive anxiety on the part of Gambol , the informer , to pocket , his hollf of the penalty , and of a deference on the part of the magistrate , to the letter , rather than the spirit , iof the law . A-petition , praying for the remissaon of-the £ 5 falling-to the revenue , was forwarded to Government , and-was acceded to : a subscripti on also , amounting to £ 8 or £ 9 , was raised for the ill-used and unfortunate stranger . In tie course of a few weeks he was again brought before
the eyes of ithe public , on a charge of purchasing watches , knowing them' to . be stolen . This time tbe case was reversed : he escaped the conviction of tbe Court , feut incurred the condemnation of the public . He has' now decamped . During his short stay in Bradford , -he * sa played bis . part , as to have been enabled ioleaye the neighbourhobd with money and goods of the confiding inhabitants to the amount ot £ 100 , or thereabouts . Mr . Brigg followed Stevens to Hull , but he had sailed for Hamburgh . He gaTe ont-that be was a Swiss .
Wesl'eta ^ Sunday Sqiiopis . ——On Sunday la . < t , two anuiverEary seTiapna were preached on behalf of tbe Sunday Schools connected with Eastbrook Chapel , by the Rev . B . Btece , of Hull . Petty Sessions . —— Beer-sellers . — - Isaac € ugden , of Gvldersome , was charged with two infractions of tbe Beer Act . The constable deposed , < bat on last Sunday evening a party wore regaling themselves at Sugden's house after the time allowed for pending ale ; and ,, on passing . thtre about eleven o ' clock the followiag . njght , he saw some votaries of
"Sir John" come . ottt . Mr . -Clarkson , solicitor , apppeared for the defence , on the ground that the proeetdings emanated fronnishe rancour of pArty spirit , which , had led the constable into a partial discharge of hifi , diity ; he having admitted , on eross-examination , that after visitingSugSen ' s , he found company in another house , but had not thought proper to treat -both pffendere with even-handed justice . The magistrates intimated that the constable might be compelled to discharge bis . duty faithfully-. They finei the defendant 40 s . in the first case , . and the other was dismissed
Refprm . Sogiety .-The Bob-ough Members . —The annual meeting of this society was freld at the . Bowling ^ Grreen , on Tuesday last . The / attendance was b ^ ut scanty . Mr . Anderson having been called to the chair , resolutions were adopted expressjiig the necessity of energetic measures to mainta , iu the ascendancy of the Reform interest in the Borough and j ^ iding , and especially jof preparation for the ensuing Registration . To our astonishment a . vote of thanks to the Borough Members was very cordially passed . Did the members of the
associatioh remember that Mr . Busfield being opposed to Mr ,. Lister had in fact ncuteratiztd Mr ; Lister on , at leaiit , three very important questions . He was with tie Ministers in their oppression of Ca-nada—be was with tb ^ n in their hostility to Dunt-ombe ' s motion for a repeal of the rate ^ paying clauses of the Reform Bill ; and be ^ was opposed to aa inquiry into miljtary punishments . Did they say yea and nay at the same time to these important questions ? '

The Mills . —Owing to the light and unstable manner in which the mills here are built , several have recently given way , and Have had to be screwed tight again . " Among others that have had to go through this process , the Britannia mill and also Lister's new mill are mentioned . Most of the mill * have a tremulous , and some even an oscillatory motion , from the force of the machinery ( which in most instances is worked in the upper part of the building ) on their fragile stractuTe . W . e believe this : evil , arises from the estimate system of building , added to an eye to the present only , and the mania that prevails for building without capital .-
XSEXGHXJ 27 . Change Ringing . —On looking over your paper of the 21 th ulti , we find an article , headed " Superior . Change Ringing ; " and i t goes forward to say , that the Society of Ringers belonging to St . Peter's Church , Birstall , ascended their tower , and rung a complete peal of 5 , 600 changes of Cumberland exercise , which was never rung before by any set in the United Kingdom . We , therefore , beg to tell them that the Society of Change Ringers at Keigbley aseended their tower , on Monday , the 15 th inst ., and rung a complete peal of Cumberland Exercise , composed by the late Mr . Joseph Jebbs , of Leeds , in two hours and fifty-two minutest , ( which they have on a table in that steeple , )—so both the Birstal and Liversedge Ringers must be in error .

Hyde . Select Vestry . —The people of Hyde have triumphed gloriously in the election of their select Vestry men . The Whigs have been accustomed here , as in many other places , to carry the Municipal matters mostly their own way . On this occasion , however , the people did their duty in electing honest sterling Radi als . A disappoint d old vestry man got up a protest against their election : the magistrates joined in the plot , and refused to sign the list presented to them , recuinmondiiig the people to have another election . This was consented to , and in spite .-. of all the exertions that could he made , a full vestry of honest good men , If out of the 20 , working men , were elected .
