Our Second Lieutenant was fent on board to examine her paper►, who immediately ordered her under the Admiral's lan, where the now remains. The gale of wind of Saturday, Sunday, and Monday was not attended with any material injury to the fleet ; the lea ran fo high, and our Chip rolled fo much, as almof made the cooking of viSuals impoffible ; but this was not the only difficulty : we have on board of this fhip a good many of my Lord Mayor's volunteers, who, however flippery their lituation might be before his Lotelfhip, found it more difficult to hand firm in their prefent fituation than they had ever before experi toted.

Mr Itoretssv (aid. that Mrs. Farmer and her Friends, Mr. Thomas Jones and Mr. Charles Ferns, had filed affidavits, fur the purple of extenuating their toadied with regard to Thomas Pearce, a ward of the Court ; but he was nor aware that they merited any otsfervations on hi, part. Mr. RICHARDS fisted the contents of the affidavits of Jones and Perns, to the effin that they were per ions *ithout fortune, or any other means than the exercife of their profcffions. The affidavit of Mrs. Farmer let forth that the had been long acquainted with the young man Thomas Pearce; that while he was at Loughborough. Houle Boarding School, at Stockwell, he vifited a family with whom the was intimate, and of made had frequent opportunities of meeting with her. Upon thefe occalions he al ways expreffed hinsfelf towards her with great affec don and regard, and requefied permifficrit to vifit her At her houfe ; the at !lift denied him ; but his impor tunities became fo preffing that the at lag eonfented, and prod:tired to be married to him ; that as foot as Ilse hated he was under age, and a ward of the Court of Chancery, the wrote him a letter, entreating him to give up all thoughts of her. Under thefe circum flames the Learned. Counfel obferved, that although he could not jullify the Lady, he hoped his Lordffirp would not tonfider her as deferving very thvere ana madverfion. The Loafs Citaricas.coa alked, whether the in innillion had allied to reflrain all manner of intereourle between Mrs. Farmer and the Minor ?

Loan CH merzLeoe—What age is the Lady ? MI. RICHARDS—She is 35 years of age, a widow, and hPS three children. Q., What is the age of the boy ?—A. Between 17 and tB. Loan Cmaircsixoa—l (hall confider whether or not it may be proper for me to lay this cafe before the Attorney General. Where there are more than one concerned in any attempt upon a ward of this Court, the offence is to confpiracy, and It is the belt way to bring the panics before the Court of King's Bench. I believe the Attorney General has already convided fevcral perfons for a confpiracy to carry away another branch of this very family. It is more for the advan- tage of the Public, that when fuch a cafe occurs, I mould not exercife my own juritchilion by committing the parties but refer the fubjed to be confidered by the highe ft authority. In the mean time, to the in ; jundinn I do require the molt implicit obedience, and the parties may rely upon it, that if they in any refped interfere with the minor, I (hail not think any flee in my power too fevere. It ii a monflrous thing that a woman of 35 years of age. whore hulband has jua died, and who has three children, fhould receive the addrcifcs of a boy at fchool. It is really (hocking.

Mr. IR/Knit thewed caufe againg a Rule obtained by Mr. Guest, for the defendant to be difcharged upon filing common bail, inafmuch as a commillion of bankruptcy had Wised againa him, and he having obtained his certificate. There had been an exchange of piper between thofe panics to a confiderable amount; and at the time the defendants became infolvent, there were bills outflanding to the amount of 6,500 L ; it was agreed b► the plaintiff, for the accommodation of the defendants, that he fhould renew bills to the amount of 20J01. which were to be paid to Mr. Wilberforce Bird. The 6,5001. being due previous to the bank ruptcy of the defendants, the plaintiff claimed on their ellate for that funs; but the sow). did not be come due until fuhfequent to defendant's obtaining their certificate.

Upon the trial it appeared, the Profecutor had gone to the Defendant's houfe, about twelve o'clock in the day time, and having (hewn their warrant to the Defendant's wife, were proceeding to make th e i r (welt, when the Defendant himfelt came in, put his back again!! the door, and taking Bridgewater by the collar, (wore he fhould not fearch there ; and at let having collated a great number of petfons about the door, obliged hint to retire. In mitigation of his punifhment, the Defendant produced the affidavits of the Clergyman of the mi ta of South Devon, and alto a Magiflrate of the county, which Rated, that the Defendant with ano ther man took mkt a boat, and went for the porpofe of rendering zffitlarrce to the crew of a prize (hip, which had Brock near the flntre, and at the rifque of his own life, fared the lives of (even of them : in a (tort time after, the veffel went to pieces ; for this lad the Defendant never received the teal compenfa don. Some time after, he (cited and brought back to prifon, three French officers, who had broke from their parole, and refuted a 4.ery contiderable which they offered him to let them ekape. It was elf() Rated, that the DAendant had a wife and eight children, all depenciio? neon his induftry. Mr. Jr xya, on behalf of the Defendant, admitted that the obltruetion of the nfr , cer took place, but no fort of mama! violence was offered, nor did any thing occur from which Sr. inference could he drawn that the Defendant was a (Muggier. The affidavits were made by two molt refpettable perfon., the one A clergyman, and the other bearing a military com million and a magillrate. On the (core of his huma nity and loyalty, the infiance of bravely faring the lives of fevers poor feamen, apprehending threarench officers, and refuting a bribe to let them ei'cape, were fufficient proofs on that head : he therefore, under thefe eircumflances, trolled to the well known cle mency of the Court, and begged, fhould they think i: expedient, to pals kn. ence of imprifonment upon him, that he might he fent to the gaol of Exeter, where he would be near his family, and might have an opportunity of Ailing, by his indultr., in their fupport. Mr. DALLAS, on the part of the profeention, ob (erred, that the Det t !ant had been guilty of fuffi cient violence to deferve the Judgment of the Court : it WAS a common prattice of the people of that coun ty, when a Revenue Officer appeared, to collcet a mob againit him, and then picad that they had not (truck lion.
