To the credit of Westmoreland, no person 
has been executed in it since the year 1782 5 
when Archibald Irving and Walter Grires 
suitered the sentence of the law for the mur¬ 
der of Robert Parker, at Hackthorp j but 
both the delinquents were strangers in the 
country ; so that there have been twenty- 
nine maiden assizes sn succession. The cause 
of this moral improvement ought to be as¬ 
certained ? Are the clergy laborious? Arj 
there many sectaries, many methodists, many 
schools ? 
At the assizes for the northern circuit, the 
respective numbers of causes entered tor trial 
were-—at York 165; at Durham, 48; at 
Newcastle 24 ; at Carlisle 4.3 ; at Appleby 15> 
and at Lancaster 160, and before the Vice- 
Chancellor 9; making in the whole 464; 
costing 2001. each, or nearly 100,0001. the 
cost of the whole executive government of 
s' America.

quis of 9''.^c^>^sberry, Lord Lowther, the 
Right Hon. T. Wallace, Sir James Graham 
of Netherby, and Sir James Graham of Kirk- 
stone, with a concourse of other gentlemen. 
The Lord Lieutenant has expressed his un¬ 
qualified approbation of the diversion, and 
Will annually give it his support, so long as 
there is not any riot or confusion. The 
wrestlers, in general, were the sons of re¬ 
spectable yeomen and farmers. The first 
prize was won by Thomas Nicholson, of 
Threlkeld, near Keswick, esteemed one of 
the first thirteen-stone wrestlers in ther 
kingdom, and has gained the gieat prizes at
