Monmouthshire Merlin

COBBETT.-The notorious Cobbett has been delivering what he calls a Lecture on the present prospects of the mer- | chants, manufacturers, and agriculturists of Great Britain. With respect to this individual there can be but one opinion, Whatever weight might be attached to his sentiments from the knowledge we possess of his great intellectual capacity, 't is entirely counteracted by the conviction we feel that he can never be trusted. In the reviewal of his past conduct and writings, we shall find, that, on topics presented under precisely the same aspect and circumstances, his opinions of the one day have been diametrically opposite to those of ^ie next. It is not from such a man, therefore, that the un- informed should expect to hear the voice of genuine instruc- tlQn. From him the language of truth can scarcely be re- ceived without distrust. The lecture itself communicated nothing new. It merely repeated the same catalogue of national evils with which hIS Political Register has been filled for the last two or three years. The return to cash payments was a subject upon which, as usual, he displayed the greatest acerbity of temper. When descanting on this measure he always appears to be writhing on the gridiron and live coals, to which, by his false predictions, he stands self-condemned. Every thing In the conduct of ministers, and particularly of the Duke of Wellington, was remarked upon in one continued strain of vituperation. Censure so sweeping must ever be founded on injustice; for although it cannot be denied that a perfect statesman is A faultless monster, which the world ne'er saw aHd that ministers, like other human beings, may and do °ften err; yet it never happened, even to an ideot, that he be always in the wrong. Of our present prime min-« jster it' cannot truly be averred that he is wanting either in honourable principles or in soundness of,intellect; but what Shall we say of the miscreant who has the head to dictate, aC;d the heart to approve a paragraph like the following, which we had just time to copy into our last week's paper without commentr- The present government are to blame for every thing, from the uttle of Agincourt down to the battle of Waterloo, which it was well tnoh)n was lost through the military incapacity of the now First ■o> d of the Treasury. I have longed for nothing more ardently nan the ruin of my country since his Majesty declined my services os Premier." What a tissue of glaring falsehood—of malignant wicked- ness-—and of impudent absurdity is contained in these few lines I At ihe time of writing them Cobbett well knew that to attach to one set of ministers the responsibility of acts performed by their predecessors was contrary to every prin- "Ple of reason and justice-he knew also that the battle of Waterloo wa.s not lost by the English, and that as a general tj I Duke of Wellington never displayed the slightest inca- pacity-—he knew, likewise, that his Majesty never could ap- point to the situation of minister, an individual who shews that he has so little attachment to his country, as, under the affected feeling of disappointed ambition, to avow his anxi- ety for her ruin. In such an avowal we may discover the incipient germs of treason; for to conceive a guilty thought \s t the forerunner of its perpetration. What men ardently r esire, they will seize the first opportunity to execute. We ecommend to Cobbett's attentive perusal the following ^tion from the Author of Hudibras:—" A rebel is a en Un*aiy bandit, a civil renegado, that renounces his obedi- c« t° his Prince to raise himself upon the public ruin, i e ls of great antiquity, perhaps befor6 the creation; at a Pre-Adamite; for Lucifer was the first of his family, from him he derives himself in an indirect line. He ITICJS fault with the government that he may get it the easier ?n ° nis own hands, as men use to undervalue what they ave a desire to purchase. He is a butcher of politics, and a state tinker, that makes flaws in the government only to Wend them again. He goes for a public spirited man, and ¡US pretences, are for the public good; that is for the good of his own public spirit. He pretends to be a great lover of his country, as if it had given him love-powder; but it is merely out of natural affection to himself. He has a great itch to the handling of authority, though he cut his fingers with it and is resolved to raise himself, though it be but upon the gallows. He is all for peace and truth, but not without lying and fighting. He plays a game with the hang-, roan for the clothes on his back; and when he throws out strips him to the skin. He dies in hempen sheets, and is body is hanged, like his ancestor Mahomet's, in the air. hi6 ^ave lived longer, if the destinies had not spun an t0° strong. He is sure never to come to untimely end, for by the course of law his glass was out g before. He calls, rebellion and treason laying out of coTlf Puklic> ^ut being found to be false unlawful fal v 'S spized upon and cut in pieces, and hanged for 11 to h 'D^ His espousing of quarrels proves as fatal is i f country as the'Parisian wedding did to France. He is a ^Vthat was made on purpose to be hanged. He -1., a diseased part of the body politic, to which all the bad "Umours gather." 1 To what little purpose do some men gain experience. e Managers of Covent Garden Theatre, regardless of their Cent narrow escape from irretrievable ruin by the conse- ^ences of a Chancery suit, have again unhesitatingly P tinged themselves into the vortex of litigation. Their is now with Mr. Kean, whose gratuitous services they jvu. neither accept nor permit to be used elsewhere, distresses of Covent Garden, this distinguished bg/'V^red to perform three nights without salary, for the 1 of the establishment. Nothing could be more liberal fa n SVC^ an offer, at such a time, from so great a public j ».it was then gratefully acknowledged. There is j old saying that we should not look a gift horse in the 1 f^th; or, in other words, that we have no right to enquire Th° vle rnerits of a donation, but must take it as it is offered. 6 Managers of Covent Garden do not seem to admit the propriety of this adage; for when Kean, after relinquishing several lucrative engagements in the country, arrived to fulfil hIS promise in London, he was told that he must perform when it might not interfere with the arrangements of the Managers, and not when it might suit his own convenience. Kean being justly indignant at such conduct, offered. his 1 services to Drury Lane, now also labouring under difficul- ties, and they were, of course, joyfully accepted. The Co- vent Garden Managers then filed a bill in the Court of Chancery, and obtained an exparte injunction to restrain Kean from performing at any other theatre in London but which injunction, after being fully discussed on Tuesday last, was by the Vice-Chancellor dissolved. We rejoice in the result of this proceeding, because we think that Mr. Kean has been treated very ungratefully. The truth appears to be that Miss Kemble having, by her extraordinary suc- cess, redeemed the fallen fortunes of the Covent Garden Theatre, its conductors are become elated with their pros- perity, and indifferent to that succour, of which they would gladly have availed themselves in the hour of misfortune.

THEATRE.—Our Manager, Mr. Mildenhall, is unremitting in his endeavours to secure a continuance of the liberal support he has hitherto received and we have a pleasure in observing that his efforts, both as a manager and an actor, are duly appreciated. The company has this week been considerably improved by the engagement of Miss Penley, from the Cheltenham Theatre, a young lady of highly respectable conduct, and of acknowledged talents. Her performance of lloxana, on Wednesday, and of Lady Macbeth last night, were specimens of finished acting, and call for our unqualified praise. When all deserve well, it may be thoughtinvidious to mention individual performers, and we have perhaps been rather neglectful of the merits of Mr. Dyer, who so well deserves our tribute of praise, not only as stage ma- nager, to the duties of which he is indefatigable, but as a per- former his Fitsarden, in The Maniac," was a masterpiece of acting, excelled only by his portraiture of Macbeth, which, for originality of conception and truth of delineation, entitled him to the applause he received. On Monday last Richard Addis, late of the parish of Christ- church, in this county, farmer, was brought before Rd. Powles and Thomas Dyke, Esqrs. by virtue of a Bench Warrant under the hand and seal of Mr. Baron Vaughan, and was committed to prison for not procuring bail for his appearance at our next Assizes, to answer to a bill of indictment preferred against him at the last Assizes to which he did not plead, for a defamatory libel in the shape of a letter addressed to James Thomas, Esq. a magistrate for the county of Monmouth. Bail was required of Mr. Addis in £1()0 and two sureties in £ 50 each. On Thursday night George Stacy, labourer, was committed to gaol by R. Powles and T. Dyke, Esqrs. for stealing several arti- cles of wearing apparel from the Eight Bells public house, in this town, the property of Thomas Matthews and William Mat- thews, his fellow lodgers. On Saturday night, as Mr. Jennings and Mr. Brigges, both of Coleford, were returning in a gig from Lidney, at a late hour, owing to the denseness of the fog and the darkness of the night, the gig came in contact with a heap of slags, and was upset, and both were precipitated out. Mr. Cooke, of Hereford, fortunately coming up in a chaise at the time, found Mr. J. and Mr. B. both down and unable to rise. Mr. C. immediately got out to their assistance, placed them in the chaise, and conducted them to Coleford. We understand neither of the gentlemen are likely to to sustain any permanent injury. CONVICTION OF A POACHER.-At a Petty Sessions held at the Tredegar Arms Inn, in the village of Bassalleg, in and for the hundred of Wentllooge, in this county, by and before Charles Morgan, of Ruperra, and Octavius Morgan, of Tredegar, Esqrs. on Tuesday, the 1st inst. one Wm. Jones, who represented him- self to be huntsman to Mr. Edmund Williams, of Maesyruddyd, in this county, was, upon the information of Wm. Lewis, game- keeper to Benjamin Hall, Esq. lord of the manor of Abercarne, convicted in the mitigated penalty of £ 10, for having on the 7th of November last, at the parish of Monythusloyne, used certain dogs called hounds for the purpose of taking and killing game, without having obtained such certificate as is required by law for that purpose. In addition to the above penalty, the offender will be charged with and required to pay £ 3. 13s 6d for a game cer- tificate. It was proved in support of the information, by wit- nesses who were rather unwilling to give their evidence, that the poacher and his numerous followers were well provided with the means of destroying game, and that with the assistance of hounds, greyhounds, and lurchers, they succeeded in killing three hares. It is hoped this conviction will be the means of deterring persons not qualified from pursuing game otherwise than with dogs attended by their owner, and he being duly qualified.—At these Sessions, Octavius Morgan, Esq. the youngest son of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart. took the oaths of qualification to act as a Justice of the Peace for this county; and afterwards, with his eldest brother, got through the business of the day. THE CHAIN BRIDGE AT PONT KEMEYS.—This bridge, which is situated three miles above the town of Usk, is now completed, and open for the accommodation of the public. When the new line of road is formed, the distance from Abergavenny to Usk will be shortened two miles; and what will be of still greater advantage, all hills will be avoided so as greatly to facilitate the intercourse between these towns and the communication with Bristol. There is now an approach to the bridge along a good parish road entering a mile above Usk and coming out into the turnpike road above Pontygoitree House. The following is an account of the dimensions of the bridge Length of the suspension chains 242 feet Do. from pier to pier 152 do. Breadth of driving way i. 22 do. Heighth of piers above the level of the water.. 16 do. Weight of iron. 40 tons. UNSTAMPED ALMANACKS.—-A man, named John Price, was taken up on Tuesday last at Abergavenny for having in his pos- session a number of unstamped Almanacks, in Welsh, known session a number of unstamped Almanacks, in Welsh, known by the title of "Paddy's Watch," and for hawking about the same without a licence he was committed by the Rev. William Powell to Monmouth gaol for one month. ALARMING ACCIDENv-On Tuesday last Mr. Williams, of Tivoli Lodge, Newport, was going out in his gig, driven by his servant, on starting the horse dashed off at full speed down Stow Hill, through the town over the bridge on the Chepstow road, passing several carts and waggons. The smith who has been in the habit of shoeing the horse resides near the road, into whose shoeing house the horse ran the off wheel of the gig coming in contact with the corner of the wall drove the horse against the opposite wall,' broke the shaft, and Mr. W. and his servant were thrown out with great violence, but fortunately re- ceived very little injury. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.-On Thursday, the 26th ult. a mine burner belonging to the Sirhowy iron works, named Wrm. Walter, whilst in the act of emptying his barrow of mine into the col- liery kiln fell into it, and although his fellow workmen were on the spot they could afford him no kind of assistance, as the clin- ker broke that was on the surface where he fell, when he was instantly completely hidden by the burning materials. On Sa- turday some of his calcined bones were taken out of the kiln. An enquiry waa instituted before Wm. Brewer, Esq. coroner, when a verdict of Accidental Death was returned. On Monday last, as a labourer, named Mark Powell, was threshing with a machine, in a barn, at Chapel-house Farm, near Chepstow, he unfortunately cut off three of his toes. The poorfcman, we hear, has a wife and twelve children, which makes the accident more distressing. SPORTING.-The Forest of Dean Harriers will meet ot Wills- bury, on Monday the 7th at Alvington, on Thursday the 10th and at Hewelsfield, on Monday the 14th inst. IIALLI DAY v. EVANS, GENT.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who formerly kept a school at Vale Cottage, near Chepstow, against the defendant, Mr. James Evans, a respect- able Solicitor, residing in that neighbourhood, to recover damages for having caused the plaintiff to be detained in gaol for a larger sum than was actually due, and which was occasioned by an error committed by the defendant's agent in town, in having en- dorsed upon the writ a larger sum (as the balance of the debt and costs for which the plaintiff was liable) than, as it afterwards turned out, should have been done. The cause was tried before the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas at West- minster Hall, on Wednesday last, Mr. Sergeant Wilde and Mr. Hutchinson being of counsel for the plaintiff, whose attorney was Mr. Ives, of this town. The defendant was represented by Mr. Sergeant Taddy and Mr. Sergeant Ludlow. It appeared that the defendant, on the part of his agents, had always been anxious, from the moment the error was discovered, to make amends to the plaintiff, and, continuing that feeling, he now proposed through his counsel to submit to a verdict for moderate damages, upon condition that any imputation endeavoured to be cast upon his professional character should be satisfactorily explained, and that impression obliterated. This was consented to by the other party, the damages having been fixed at thirty pounds. Mr. Hutchinson opened the plead- ings, after which Mr. Sergeant Wilde addressed the Court thus May it please your Lordship- Gentlemen of the Jury-You will have little trouble in this case. It is an action against a professional man. My learned friend and myself have come to an understanding as to the way in which this case shall be dis- posed of, but the defendant being a professional man does not choose that it should be disposed of without the circumstances being in some measure understood by you. The action is against Mr. Evans for the cause my friend Mr. Hutchinson has stated to you, that he being an attorney in the country, managing his business of course through an office in London that he, on be- half of a client, issued an execution in a cause, in which the pre- sent plaintiff, Miss Halliday, was the defendant; that the writ, as the declaration alleges, was endorsed to levy, as it is called, a larger sum than was due, the effect of which was, that the de- fendant (Miss Halliday) was kept in custody a longer time (be- ing unable to raise the larger sum) than she would have been, having the means of raising the smaller sum. On account of the length of that custody the present action was brought. It ap- pears from the statement which has been made that the defendant was not acquainted with the way in which the amount endorsed on the writ was made out. He took it for granted that the busi- ness being managed in London that amount had been properly ascertained, but that on further examination it appears that cer- tain costs were included in the amount, which costs, although they might have been incurred, were costs that by law could not be levied against the plaintiff. Mr. Evans, the defendant, has consented to afford some compensation to the female plaintiff for the injury she has sustained-it is to be understood the mistake arose elsewhere-he was not exactly apprised of how the amount was made up, that he corrected it as he was correctly infori-ned-- that is the defendant's statement, and however anxious he may be to make compensation to the plaintiff—the plaintiff feeling, in justice, she has a claim to compensation, let the error or blunder be where it is-my friend has agreed that I shall take your ver- dict for £ 30, but at the same time it is on the condition I should state the real facts of the case, that Mr. Evans might not be sup- posed to have acted in a different way than what he alleges, and I believe I have stated the facts correctly, and on the part of the plaintiff, although I am sorry to say the compensation is very small, yet under the circumstances I consent to it. Mr. Sergeant Taddy.-I agree, on the part of Mr. Evans, and I am exceedingly obliged to my friend for his very honourable and candid statement. Mr. Evans is a remarkably respectable practitioner in the county of Monmouth, and he is much more anxious respecting THAT character than any amount of damages. He wishes me to say this was a mistake in the office in town of his agent. He supposed the costs of the scire facias, which would have been X19 if they had been incurred, had been included in truth there was no appearance to the scire facias, therefore the costs, instead of being f 19, were beoau se there was no appearance-that mistake has occasioned suffering to the plaintiff, for which Mr. Evans is extremely sorry. Chief Justice Tindal-A very proper determination, and very creditable to the Attorney, that he is ready to make this compensa- tion on the matter being explained. Verdict £ 30. EXTRAORDINARY S UICID.E -Yesterday this city (Bath) was again agitated by the discovery of a suicide which appears to have been committed in the following extraordinary manner. The wife of Mark Anthony Broom, a retail brewer, residing at the top of Mark's-hill, some time in the course of Sunday terminated her life by strangulation. It appears that her husband was in the habit of staying out late at night, and on the Saturday pre- vious he had not been home at all. Mrs. Broom complained of his conduct to Mr. and Mrs. Child, lodgers in the house, and then gave pretended instructijas to the boy to feed the pigs, &c.; this was about half-past ten48n Sunday morning but Mr. and Mrs. Child not having seen her as usual by five o'clock in the evening became alarmed, and knocked at her door, and receiving no answer called in a neighbour, named John Norton, and all the parties then entered the room, where they found the poor woman on the floor with a piece of tape firmly twisted four times round her neck, and life totally extinct. Mr. Broom appeared before the magistrates at Guildhall yesterday, when, after an examination, it was proved that Mr. B. had not been in the house since Saturday evening.—Bath Gazette of Tuesday.
