We are, however, happy to learn, that he is in a fair way of recovery. As the Rev. Mr. Gilbert, of Kentchurch. Here fordfhire, was out cock &owing with fume friends, near the Goitree, Monmouthihire, on proceeding down the fide e.‘ a wood with one of them, and beino a little advanced before him, by tome accident his friend's gun went off, and lodged nearly the whole f the charge in the fide of the back part of Mr. Gil bert's head, tearing away his ear ; the unfortunate gentleman inaantly fell. He wa• conveyed to a farm houfe, where he lingered till Sunday morning, when he expired ; he was fenfible till the laft, and repeat. edly fignified that he lincerely forgave the unErto nate author of the accident. Saturday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, the family of a molt refpedable tradefman in Church ltreet was thrown into the deepelt dillrefs, by the negligence of a fervant maid entrulted with the care of the children to bed, when the unfortunately let fire to the bed curtains, and left the room without perceiving the flame. The alarm being given by the neighbours, the difirailed father rather flew than ran up (lairs, and fucceeded in fnatching his child from the devouring element, but too late to preferre the life IS a darling daughter between two and three years cf age, who was fo dreadfully burned that it expired in a few hours, though furgi. cal aid was immediately had ; the lituation of the otreittliitd parents may be better imagined than de (crated. confequence of the Coroner's Inqueft deliver. lag their verditt againtt William Hawkefwood, as the fufpeeed murderer of M r . P ar k er , o f S w i n d on, , (as mention e d in a former paper) he immediately ' abfconded, and was traced to Worcetler, whence he proceeded onwards by the Briflol mail, and there entered into the navy ; he was, however, apprehen. ded ott board the tender, and conveyed to Stafford jail, after undergoing a 'lna examination, in the courfe of which he acknowledged giving his mailer , his ufual cup of camomile tea, which he was in the habit of drinking every mornin g , an d i n infufed, which ar fenic bad been but that he did not pot it in. It appeared on the examination before the Coroner, that Mr. Parker, the moment be tailed the tea, complained that it had a very unpleafant flavour, and did not, in confequence, drink the whole of it ; notwithflanding which he was form after taken and began to fufped he was panned ; a furgeon was itnmetately fent for, but Mr. Parker died in about an hour after. On examining the cup, the furgeon found the dregs of arfenic at the bottom. Hawker wood being cFofely queftioned, prevaricated in his aofwer, and at length made his efcape, and conceal ed Itimfelf in his father's houfe till the Coroner's in gnat declared him to be the murderer. At Inqueli was on Tuefday held at the dock houfe of the Grand Surrey Canal Company, on the body of W. Arnold, who was employed in the brick yard at the edge of the baton. The deceafed, on feeing a breeze merchant enter the yard, accompanied by two_ officers, for the purpofe of arrefling him, leapt into' the baton, near 63 feet deep, and fwatn alongfide a (hip in the dock, which he got on board ; when find ing the officers, who had followed his example, dole at his heels, he leapt overboard on the oppufite fide, and funk to rife no more. The Jury, conceiving that neither the cfliccrs or plaintiff had exceeded their duty, pronounced a verdiscl accordingly. The following melancholy circumftance occurred on Wednefday fennight in the neighbourhood of Carlifle, to a Gentleman ofgreat refpeßability, a Cap. tam in the Army, and who had for fume time laboured under mental derangement. On the t3th inft. he ap peared to be In far recovered, that his friends thought he might with fafety be permitted to take a walk, attended by a man who had been employed for that purpole. The unfortunate Gentleman travelled on very peaceably till they reached Sandesfield, a dif tance of nearly four miles from the refidence of the Gentleman, where they Raid a Quoit time and had Come refrefhment ; but when they were about to re• torn home in the evening, he became fo zxtremely refradlory, that it was deemed expedient to knock him down, in hopes of their being able to get him properly fecured. This meafure, however, did not prove effectual, for he was no limner down, than he immediately (prang upon his feet, and ran acrofs Brough Marfh (an extenfive track of uninclofed ground) with fuch (peed, that neither his attendant, nor another perfon who was prefent at the time, could overtake him, and he was Coon out of fight, night then coming on. The molt diligent fearch has face been made tor him, but hitherto without effea ; and, we are lorry to add, that there is every reafon to believe he has been drowned either in forme of the numerous creeks on the marfh, or in Solway Firth. MARLioioUGN STMT.—The manfion of Mrs.' Jervis, a relative of the Earl of Banbury, was en tered on Monday night, during the abfence of the fervent:, and fosse valuable property, and a trunk containing Eall India articles of value, were flolen. Information was given at this office, when an officer was dilparched to find out the thieves ; the officer apprehended fix perfons, three of whom were hack ney coachmen, two female fervants, who were left in care of the haute abaft the family were at Bath, and a cook maid who had recently left Mrs. Jervis's fervice. It appeared that on the evening of the rob bery, this cook maid introduced the three hackney. coachmen to the other females who had the care of the houfe in Somerfet-ftreet, and the whole left it, (pent the evening in the Edgeware road, and did not return until one o'clock in the morning. A female called at the houfe of Mrs. Jervis at eight o'clock in the evening, but the could not gain admittance, and on her returning thither at nine o'clock, (be found the fireet door open, and the robbery was difcovered. It was proved that one of the coachmen, of the name of Herbert, had left the company of the others from (even o'clock until nine, and that he appeared - in a perfpiration on his return. The ftolen property re• mains undifctivered, and Herbert, and the three fe males, were committed fur another examination.

Sir WILLIAM ScorT proceeded to the adj udication ner of the following ca fe s : Novello. llooavick .—lt appeared that this Danidt Rip was in the dock of a litipwript, undergoing repairs, and was feized by Government, in the ezpedation of boftllities with Den mark, as i circa of Admiraity.bnt was afterwards reftored The queition leas rod petting the lien the Ihipwright had on the Ihip als a feeurity for ibis demand for repairs, and whether he was not to be pat in as good a Causation se be was when In poffellion of the Chip. The Court in delivering its opinion, obferved, that it had been urged by Coorifel, that the Court had no jurifdietion to feize the veffel in a dry dock—it, however, held that it had as much ju rifdidtion there as in the middle of the ltream in the river. It was alto of opinion, that a lien of a litrkilit fuhjed Ibould be protedted to the utmoll, provided it was found to be a jolt one ; and accor dingly diredted the Martha to place the velikl in the fame fitua• thin he found her.

The Ihip had already been condemned as Danilh property—the Court this day alto condemned the cargo to the Crown, but re- Bored the goods claimed on behalf of the Supercargo. Canopus,Kortlang Mafter.--This veffel was going from one Danilh port to another, with a cargo of various merchandize, which was claimed on behalf of different chimants ; and it was contended by their Counfd, that the property was as fully docu mented as any cafe that came before the court. and therefore trotted that it would condemn the captors in cons and damages The Court decreed rdtitution of the hip and cargo, and pro nounced this day's expenees of the claimants, in bearing the cafe, to be paid by the captors. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. Ts. RD1141,011 V. SIR JANIS WRIGHT. This was an action to recover a fum of money paid to the defendant's ufe by the plaintiff. The A rroastav Calmat. Paid, the- defendant in this caufe was the proprietor of an ettate in the ;nand of Jamaica, and alto of one at Savant; th, in Georgia, to the former of which the plaintiff had aged as agent, and to the latter, p.tri ns-of the names of Maine and M•gfeen. On tto Jamaica plantatiost, there were a number of negroes whom Sir James Weight was delirotu of temoving to Savannah, and 1 diretted the defendant to deliver them to Maine and Mogen, who fent the (hip MtriA Frances to receive them. They were put on board, and the Captain had I proceeded as far as Cape Antonio, when the veil& and cargo were feized by the Revenue Officers, as not having the fufferance, or licence to convey them. At the time the (hip was taken, there was alio a quan tity of fugars on board, belonging to a Mr. Brijant. of King/lon. The quellion of the feiznrt was brought before the Governor of Jamaica, and it was agreed that t zool. currency Should be taken in hen of the veal and cargo. When the Captain was called upon to contribute his flute of this fum for the Ship and the fugars on board, he was unable to pay it ; and Mr. Edmifon, the Plaintiff, in order to releafe the negroes of his principal, agreed to advance the money upon the fecurity of a bill of exchange, and a bottomry bond. The bill was drawn upon the Cap. taints Agent., Mats. Mabte and Mackey. Theft fecurities, however, were afterwards found to be We lds, and the Plaintiff now fought to recover the-fum of tzool. from the Defendant. • Mr. GARROW, for the Defendant Paid, that when dm cafe came to be f u underilood, the Jury would not. think that the dant bad been guilty of any injulice towards the Plaintiff, in refuting to pay this derhand. The fad was, that Sir James Wright pof.: feffed no plantations in Jamaica, but owned only force negroes, who were let to Melfrs. Hibbert and Co. of this city, and which he wifhed to remove Ao Georgia, where he hod an effete. Thwendeavoor of the Plain tiff, by this adion, was to indemnify himfelf from a lofs be had fuftained by his own mikondat, by com ing upon the Defendant, and pretending himfelf to be his general agent. When the negroes sere (hipped on board the Maria Frances, it was his duty to fee that the Captain was provided with the necerary'do• cuments, in order to avoid feizure by the Cullom ' houle Officers. This he had omitted to do, and could not now take from the packet of his principal the fum he had paid for his own negligence. If he chofe to affil the Captain, it was at his own peril, and be mutt himfelf bear the lots which had thus been in curred. Lord ELLINIOROUGH laid, that there were two quefiions in the caufe, 1. Whether the agency of the plaintiff ceafed as loon as the negroes were delivered to the charge of the Captain, , and became, therefoie, fetaaus item ? or 2. Whether the agency continued until the haves were in a place of fafery ; fo that be ought to have provided the Captain with the necef fary licence to avoid feizure Although this fum of cool. might have been paid for the advantage of the defendant, yet it did not follow, that it might be re. covered in an aaion ; for, in cafe an execution were in hie Lortlfhip's honk, or his perfon in danger from pecuniary emharraffment, and a friend, without any authority, were to pay the debt, the money fo paid could not be recovered by the common law.. It ap peared to his Lordfhip, that the plaintif f was bound to ezercife his duty as agent, fo as to fee that the I negroes were put in fafety on board ; and if front negligence or ignorance, they were afcerwardsfeized, I and a lots accrued, it mull be borne by the plaintiff. —Vcrdid for the Defendant. STEPHIN THORNTON, BROTHERS AND CO. V. HEATH. This was an anion for a breach of contra& The Avroew EY Gamneas, far the plaintiffs, Paid, that they in the mouth of July, 1806, by their bro. kers, Mars. Sharp and Son, agreed to buy of the defendant, too tons of Pete rfburgh clean hemp, and too tons of Peterlburgh outihnt hemp, to be put on board a (hip or (hips before the firft of September, in the fame year. After waiting for a confiderable period after the time appointed for fulfilling the con trail, they were obliged to provide themfelves with it elfewheret and what they fought from the Jury was, the difference of price they agreed to pay the defendant, and the fum they allually did pay for the hemp they purchafedof others. After the neceffary evidence had been adduced, Mr. GAtIOW, for his client, laid, that he was afraid he could make no defence to this arftiun. He ad muted, that the Drf. endant had entered into the con trail, and mull pay the damages fought. The truth was, that in conftquence of the Ege of penhagen, no veffels could be procured to bring home the hemp, and the Defendant mull anfwer for this misfortune. Verdid for Plaintiffs, 14001. COLLET AND OTHERS V. SAIIIYER TORRIERY: This was an .aai - s upon a Policy of Inturanei upin the freight of the Ihip Pficenis, at and frorts Trinadad to London, with permiffion to join convoy: The ATTORNEY (;rimaces, for the Plaintiff, faidj that the Pncenis had originally been purchaled by his client, at Dover, and was then fent to the yard of Meflis. Barnard and Roberts to be repaired, having be e n pre•irsolly doubled, or cowered at bottom with teak wood. She failed on her outward voyage to Madeira and the Well Indies, and was c , ming frinu Trinadad on the t9t h o f May, on her v loge tO England, with many others. under c rf his hlajefly's fl. op Kingfifber. At that peri d the coma pined French and Spacifh fleets were in the Welt Indies, in purfuit of which -Lord WC n was fent out. The Bri , ifb fcitradron was teen off Cocoarite Bay, through which the nice:sir and the rell of her convoy were proceeding, and it was miftiken for the enemy. The Comm.idore, under this nacoLception, ordered the lbips under his care to be hauled up on the wind, in order that thry might be protetied by the batteries on Chore. While tncy lay in this firma. tion, the Pilo: )ix heeled upon her fide, and by this means was I-, much drained, that when the was got afloat, the made feven inches of water in the hour. It was deemed not prat icable to pry ceed with her to England, and a futvey was in confequence tAken, when the was condemned, and her cargo abandoned to the Underwriters. The evidence was next adduced ; but upnn the crcfs•examination of fome of the witneffes, they de. pcfed, that the Phcenix might have been repaired in America, and that they had head that the had floc, arrived in tilt River Thames. Mr. Gaseow, for the Defendant, contended, that the veilel, when the quitted Trinidad, was not in a (late of fea.worrhinefs. It was admitted, en behalf of the Plaintiffs, that the was doubled at the time of her quitting this country, which, at beft, was but a lame expedient to aviid the expence of a new bottom. It was true, that after this repair, the might be ftronger than before the received it ; but it was only like a man who, inilead of having no leg at all, was proVided with a wooden one ; er like a perfon who having frattured his &till, had, to prevent death, been trepanned; yet, in neither inftances, would it be contended that the man was as found as before he loft his leg, or fraaured his skull. . The CHM' Justice inclined to the opinion that the veffel could not be fea worthy when the com menced her homeward voyage ; as if fhe had been fea worthy, the heeling upon the mud in Cocoarite Bay, would not have been attended with the confer quences vrhich followed it—Verdia for the PlaintiA, 1831. 41. •••••1.0•••• COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC Is. ARNSTRoNG O. CHALPOR. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN Rated, that his client (to (peak the pain tru , h) was a crimp, and the defendant was the manes of a public honfecafled theThreeFoxes. He thought this fign was very applicable to the de fendant, and that the Jury would think that In craft and cunning he refembled thole animals which (creed as the fign of his public houfe. The Plaintiff had de. pofited with him a confiderable number of protaiC Tory notes, to the value of about 5001. He was pro. .bably aware, that it would be almoft impoffible for the Plaintiff to prove the cud number and amount of thole notes, and therefore refuted to return them. i He could however prove, that a demand had been made, and that the Defendant had acknowledged that he had note% of nearly the value Rated. The Plaintiff was therefore driven to this anion for trnver, and he huped to recover at leaft the amount of what the Defendant confeffed he had of his. The witneffes that were brought to prove this cafe Rated, that the Plaintiff had lodged for two or three years at the houfe of the Defendant, where he was in the habit of brir•.gidg the failors whom he had crimp. ed—that in the month of July lift the Plaintiff and Defendant had, at different times, very high words; that the Defendant Paid, that he wilhed the other would leave his houfe—to which the Plaintiffanfwer ed, he would with pleafure, if the Defendant would Mime him his property. The Defendant replied s that the notes were with his wife, and that the Plain tiff might have them when he pleated ; and that forte time after the Plaintiff brought his anion of trover, And arreßed the Defendant for 4501. Mr. Serjeant CLATTON on the part ri the defen dant, undertook to convince the Jury that this was one of the moR ill founded, malicions, Ind wicked aaions which had came before his I.ordthip d uring courfe of the prefent fittings. The real truth Of the cafe was this: the plaintiff, who had lodged two or three years at the defendant's houfe, owed him a very confiderable fum of money, and as a fecurity for the payment of i;, depofited in his hands a confide. rable number of promiffory notes from (slots, which wa s prnbably a very inadequate fecority for the debt. Not only the plaintiff, but his Attorney had requeli. ed the defendant to keep thefe notes as a feeurity ; and yet after this they ferved upon him a notice to I give up thole notes, and in about three minutes after I leaving the notice, arrefted him and held him to bail. Sir JaMes MANSIPIRLD (aid that this was a horrible I abnfe, and he hoped the Counfel would mention it to the Court of Common Pleas next term. It was nerefary that there fhaold be fun rule with refpea to aftions of trover. It had been known, that a plaintiff had arrested a man for 50,0001. which be was pleated to (wear was the value of a deed detained from him"; and in the prefent inflanee the defendant had been:arrefted for 4501. and held to bail in double that amount for a parcel of-old bills that were per haps not worth 56. The witneffes for the defendant completely con firmed the 11,11teerlellt of Mr. Serjeant CLAYTON. Sir Janes Maisstau did not think there wu any contrariety of evidence to fubmit to the Jury. The defendant might have Paid, as the witnefes for the plaintiff (wore, 6 You may have your antes when you pleafe,' and yet it could he not inferred from that !that he meant to give :hem back without being paid the debt for the fecnrity of which they were depofi. ted.—The plaintiff was nonfuited. The accounts from Limerick and Galway are of the ntoft diftreffing kind. The face of the country is deeply buried in (now, which fell moll heavily for four hours on the 7th infant. Groat quanti ies of potatoes remain in the ground, where it is feared they will receive filch injury as to make them fcarcely worth the dig.ing.
