TI - LEATite, COkENT-GAithZg. The stage perforrnances Of last night were mere pantomime, from the rising of the curtain till it dropt, so great was the noise during the whole time in the tudience part of the Theatre. The Actors being re- Juced to dumb shew, hurried through their parts, and the curtain dropped a few minutes before ten.— The 0. P.'s then performed the usual ceremony of cheers and groans. After singing GOD save Me King, and Rule Britannia, they left the Pit in procession, and mustered in the Piazza, where they were joined by many who had not been in the house, whence they paraded round Co vent Garden into Southampton -street, and thence to different News-paper Offices and some other houses, performing at each shrine their customary offering of adoration or execration. The proceeding to which we have just alluded can not be too strongly reprobated ; and we sincerely hope that every friend of order and public peace, Who at tends the Theatre, will discountenance a line of con duct which absolutely threatens the most alarming consequences. Need we add, that no person can be considered as discountenancing, who, on any pretext whatever, joins an assemblage from which pick pockets and the lowest street rabble cannot be ex chided.—Had the opponents of the 0. P.'s been de sirous to lead them to adopt a line of conduct calcu lated to load them with reprobation, they could not have devised any proceeding so likely to effect that end as the one that has been followed for two or three nights past after quitting the Theatre. We have before stated, that on Saturday night Mr. KEMBLE'S house had been attacked, and his windows broken. It was expected a similar visit would be paid last night, and the Magistrates had in consequence adopted measures of precaution. A party of consta bles, about 50 in number, were placed in ambush in Bury -street, which goes into Russel -street, nearly opposite to Mr. KEMBLE'S house. As soon as the crowd approached, among whom were many who could not have been in the Theatre, as butcher's apprentices and drover's boys, the con stables met them, and drew up in a body to protect Mr. KEMBLE'S premises. The crowd was then requested to disperse, but drawing up on the opposite side of the street they sung Britons never shall be slaves. This being ended, sine one called out " go it," probably meaning this as a call to break the windows. In the mean time the officers had marked who were most active in the assemblage, and with great address seized between 20 and 30 of them, whom they conducted to St. Giles's watch-house. -We need hardly add that those who could, made all haste to escape * and instantly dispersed. We understand that Mr VILLIERS is to be succeeded at Li , bon by the Honourable HENRY WELLESLEY. The DIA.! of Rtenm ,s:D, we understand, is to re, ceive the Blue Ribbon, vacant by the death of the Duke of I'onTLANn. An account is now taking in 15dblin ' by order of the Arclibishr p, of e v er y Protestant family, and also of every Roman Catholic in their employinent, dis tinguishing the respective ages of each. Bazan--To-day there was ho Coact of Aldermen, the Loan MAYOR, after inspecting the returns, or dered it to remain at the present prices. Miss P. F. a lady of cnisiderable independent pro perty, aged about 38, left her frieuds at. West Quan, torlead, on Monday se'nnight, on a matrimonial expedition. The lovers arrived at Dunster on Mon day evening, and quitted it the following morning, at three o'clock, in a post-chaise. Three hundred brace of small store carp wereJately sent from the Duke of NORFOLK'S seat, at Home Lacy, whiCh were deposited in the bason of the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal, as an experiment towards stocking it with this species of fish. RATTLE-SNAKE.—An laquest was held, yesterday afternoon, at the Swan public-house, Piccadilly, hy o ANTHONY CELL, Esq. on the body of Thomas Soaper, who died on Saturday last, at St. George's Hospital, by the bite of a rattle-snake. Mr. Thomas Maynard, one of the assistant-sur geons belonging to the above Hospital, stated, the deceased was brought to the Hospital on Tuesday, October 17, about three o'clock in the afternoon--he examined the wound, which, he was told, proceeded from the bite or sting of a rattle-snake ; it appeared like the pick or a pin between the fingers of the right hand. The wrist and hand were very much swollen, and in less than two hours the swelling had extend ed above the elbow. The man complained of the most excruciating pain, and his strength failed him. He continued in that state, without hopes of recovery, until the following Saturday, when there appeared a favourable change, and strong hopes were entertained that he Would recover, until last Thurs day, when a mortification took place, and he died at a quarter before four o'clock, on Saturday afternoon, with his arm greatly swollen up to the axillo. The arm, body, and head, were opened on Sunday, in the presence of witness, who 3a7d that it was his opinion, i and_ that of the surgeons , t h at hi s d eat h was occa sioned by the bite of the sna k e . • Mrs. Mary Womberwell said, on the nth of Oc tober last, the deceased came to h er h ouse a b out rwe;ve o'clock, he was rather intoxicated ; he went away, saying he would go home to dinner, and bring his wife to tea. Witness came down stairs, shortly afterwards, to answer some customers ; during which time the deceased returned, saying he had forgotten his umbrella ; and accordingly went up stairs for it. ; Some time after he came down, shaking his hand P carelessly, and saying, th a t t h e sna k e had darted at ; hiin, and his hand was bleeding. Witness ordered a coach, and took him to St. George's Hospital. He told the witness, that he broke part of his rule in teasing the snake, and had o p ene d t h e d oor o f the , cage, to take it out. At that time, his wrist was swollen very much, and he was in great agony.— The deceased was well acquainted 'kith the nature of the snake, and knew the danger; and, had he not been intoxicated, be Could have got hii rule out by the means of the double door. The Jury consulted for ten minutes, and, by the description of the cage, given by Mr. Maynard, and corroborated by the last witness, were of opinion, that no blame could be attached to the Proprietor of the snake, it being well secured, and returned a special verdict, that the man died by the bite at a rattle-snake, and a &adrift/ of one shilling on the snake. LAW INTELLIGENCP. KING'S HENCE!. Yesterday being the first day of Term, the Court did not sit until one o'clock. The usual return was made of the state, condi.. tion, and behaviour of the different convicts on boarol the hulks at Woolwich, Portsmouth, and Langston Harbour : the returns were ordered to bz filed. sYDWIKIN v. riuNTi ESQ. Mr. EASTItiaN stated, that this was an actioti brought against the defendant for trespass, in going upon the plaintiff's land to kill game, after he had received notice not to do so. The defendant had suf fered judgment to pass by default, and attended him self at the execution of the Writ of Enquiry before the Sheriff, and conducted his own cause ; on which occasion he addressed the Jury, maintaining that the plaintiff had received no injury. It appeared, on the part of the plaintiff, that the defendant, after notice had been given to him not to come upon the plaintiff's ground, camv on horseback with some dogs, a hare started, and the defendant's dog killed it. The de fendant than proceeded to cross-examine the witness, and asked him, whether he thought that the plaintiff had received damages to the amount of one shilling ? The witness said, he did not think he did. Then he asked, Mhether he thought the damages amounted to eivience? He said he thought it did not, and perhaps not to an halfpenny or a farthing. Upon which the defendant addressed the Jury in a speech of consider able length, maintaining that they were bound by • the oath they had taken, to give a true verdict ac cording to the evidence ; and that evidence was, that the plaintiff had not sustained damage to the amount of the lowest denomination of coin within the realm, and therefore the verdict should be accordingly.— Upon this address the Jury retired, and remained locked up for a considerable time, and returned a verdict, " That the plaintiff had sustained no da mages." He therefore now moved, tint this Inqui sition be set aside, and a new Writ of inquiry he exe cuted, on the ground, that as the defendant had suf fered judgment to pass by default, there must be some damages given for the plaintiff—fur this verdict was recorded. Lord ELLENBAROUGII.—" That verdict ;must be re• corded. Take a rule to show cause." Mr. Apounius moved for a Writ of HaLeas Cor;:ns to be directed to the Keeper of Tothill-fields Bride well, commanding him to bring up the body of Francis Frederick Hepden, for the purpose of being discharged, he being illegally committed. He was committed on the Act of Parliament, called The Lit tle Go Act, for insuring in a Lottery, called the Little Go. There were tvo Acts of Parliament in this case, the 43d of the present King, which had been done away by a clause in the Act of Parliament of the 46th of the King, c. 119, s. 59, by which it was provided, That all prosecutions of this kind should be insti tuted by his Majesty's Attorney-General, and this was instituted by a Common Informer, and so he told the Ma gistrate who committed the man, but he was wrong in i construction of the statute, for• the man was committed. The ATTORNEY-GMNERAL said, that Mr. ADOL PHUS was right in his construction of the statute which governed this case; hut there were sothe powers of mitigation given to the Justices, which the ATTORNEY GENERAL found it difficult to carry into execution. Rule to shew cause granted. COURT OF CHANCERY, NOV. 6. WARD OF COURT V. GILES. Mr. RICHARDS moved for an attachment against Mr. John Giles, for carrying off Miss Attgasta Nicholson, a Ward of that Court; and also for having a fit and proper person assigned by the Court, to whom the care and custody of the infant should be intrusted.— The Learned Counsel read the affidavits cf Mrs. Sarah Frances Steel; of Westmoreland-place, stating that Miss Nicholson and Mr. Giles came to her house on the 21st of last month, and had been seldom out from that time to the period of their being taken into custody. That the understood that they had come to her house for the purpose of being married, and that the banns had been.proclaimed in Mary-la•bonne Church, and also in another Church, the name or situation of which she did not know. Mrs. Nicholson, the step-mother, had also made an affidavit, stating, that it would be inconvenient for her any longer to take charge of the infant. There was a relation of the infant's, however, (an aunt) who, he believed, would be ready to undertake the charge of her. The friends of the young lady bad reason to suppose that her in discretion had gone no farther than the act of eloping. The Learned Counsel, therefore, left it with his Lord ship to determine how the other parties should be dis posed of. - Mr. &ton appeared for a Mr. Smith, an accessary, against whom an attachment bad already issued, and expressed his deep contrition for the part he had taken in the business. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, if Mr. Smith wished to throw himself on the Court with this expression of sorrow, it would certainly avail him in some degree, and if he had any thing farther to state, he should have an opportunity of doing so on Thursday, when his Lordship would dispose of the case so far as be was concerned. As the proclamation of banns, where any of the parties might happen to be a ward of that Court, was held by the law to be a matter of very serious importance, his Lordship ordered that the persons who had been concerned in proclaiming the i banns in the Church of Mary-la-bonne, and in the other Church, if it could be found out, should at tend the Court on Thursday. This order he made, not for the purpose of having it held out that their conduct had been improper, but because the law was particularly strict in such matters, requiring that every diligence should be used for the purpose of ascertaining that the parties, as to uhom the banns were to be proclaimed, resided within the pa- • fish, and laboured under no disability which should prevent the marriage from taking place. Seven days were even allowed by Act of Parliament for the pur pose of making this inquiry. The care of the infant, in the mean time, his Lordship ordered to be entrus ted to the relation whom the Learned Counsel mg. gested. Against Mr. Giles, he ordered, that the at tachment should issue, leaving it to the discretion of the Plaintiffs to judge how far it would be proper that it' should be carried into execution. If not absolutely necessary, he was satisfied they would not feel them selves called on to resort to such an extremity. Mr. Giles, in all probability, was not aware of the situation in which he stood, and, if he chose to appear by his I Counsel, and s tat e arty' thing which he might think would be for his vantage, his .Lordship w ould hear him on Thursd We yesterday stated the elopemem fromT, nhridge Wells of a young Lady, with Mr. Giles, the Come dian, who is the subject of the ~bove case. T .01- lowing are some further p irtictilars : The fatelily of the young 1.., y reside at NVorcester ; the Colonel is, we understand, at the Isle of Wig'a ; the young Lady's mother is dead; the Colonel is married to a second wife. Miss Nichol son has become entitled to the large fortune of £14,000, when ()rage, in consequence of the death of eight relativ, s since :I'C3. During the Colonel's absence from home, Miss Nicholson and her mother-in-law visited Tunbridge Wells, at which fashi ona bl e place the parties first b ecame acquainted. Mr. G.'s first intro duction to the Lady was by an offer to carry some book- for her from the library. ()n the fellowing evening she went to the thea tre, accompanied by her mother-in-law, and sat on the front seat of the stage-box, and while Mr. Giles was pertorming close to the box, Miss Nicholson contrived to drop a letter to hint unohserv ed, which he pkked up also unperceived by her mtieher-in-law.--- In that letter she acknowledged her attachment to him, and I, Ave him encouragement to pay his addresses to her, and said that she would marry him. Prone that time, a mutual intercourse awl correspondence took place, in which the warmest :Action was expressed. This proceeding was communicated to Mns N.'s mo ther-in-law, who, to prevent the intercourse proceeding farther, confined her to the house. This regtdation, however, had not the desired effect ; for Mr. Giles contrived a plan of exchati i ;itig letters through the key-hole of the street-door. Miss N. ;hid a bed-room to herself, and got up every morning before five &clack, and conversed with her lover one of the window. This corres pondence continued about five weeks previous to the elopement. The elopement was effected by the following circionstaeces:— Mr. Giles, destitute of the most needful article, money, for carrying on such an evloit, made Mr. Smith, a brother perf-r -mer, kie confidant; what he had been doing, and What he was about to do, and asked him to lend him z sum of money 'to enable him to run away with Miss Nicholson. Smith entered into his views, and lent him £3O, being the whole of h;s stork. The two sons of the buskin having agreed upon their obj.ct, and having the consent and approbation of the Lady, set off to wait from Tunbridge Wells to the Seven Oaks, on Tuesday evening f & and to avoid suspicion, the, hired a chaise and four at a bye init, • ' s a few miles from Seven Oaks, and set of in it about three o'ciock in the morning, and proceeded towards Tunbridge 'Wells. They stopped a short dis:auce before they came to the town; Smit stopped in the chaise, and Giles went for the Lee " , and she on tie signal of love dew to his embraces with only oee change 0f clothes, in hopes never more to part ; but, disappointniehe Las overtaken them. Miss Nicholson's flight was scion discoveFed after the family get l,). and it was at length ascertained that ;Ate had eloped with Mr. Giles. On Thursday, the following day. her mother in-law wrote to Messrs. Cardale and son, solicitors, of Bedford-row, who arc trustees to MISS Nicholson. They cmpl, yed :editing and hi 3 brother to trace the fugitives out. The officers ;m: sued their inquirers with ell possible exincbtion and esci :in 1. They traced the parties to have changed hoNes 't the Whi: e Hart Inn, at Bromley, and from thence gradually to N'estnito el ml-placn, City-road, which is extremely well calculated for persons :o con ceal themselves. Adkins went with Mr. Cardale to tLe house of Mrs Steele ; Adkins knocked at the door, a female answered it, ant Adkins asked if Mr. Giles waa within ? she anstvend in the affir mative, and that he was at dinner; A Air]: followed her in, and saw Mr. Giles; Adkins addressed him by his name, and he an swered to it; but when Adkins told him !lb business, he to.d hire he must be mistaken, and that he neezr was at Tunbridge Wells in his life; Adkins, however, persisted that he was the man, from the description of him that he had received, and that the young lady who was dining with him was Miss Nicholson; the dispute about the identity of their persons was soon settled by Mr. Cardale the solicitor, and Miss N.'s trustee, entering the room, by a frantic tragic scene taking place ; Miss Nicholson finding any attempt to conceal herself longer a folly, both lovers rushed to tack other's arms,and swore attachment, beating their heads, and running about the room distracted; Miss Nicholson agreed to go with thena quietly, after much persuasion; but said she must go up stairs first—Adkins told her het must accompany her, to which she agreed, and one of the principal objects to take care of was her purse, which was not for the amount of cash it contained, as we understand it onlycontained a dollar and a few shillings at the one end, but the other contained the jewel of all jewels to her, the wedding-ring, 'which was to tie ;her to her d,arly beloved Giles yesterday morning at Mary-lagbonne Church, they having been asked in that church two Sundays, and the third time was to have taken place on Sunday, Smith, the actor, who assisted them in their flight, was served ' with a notice on Saturday se'nnight, by Harry Adkins, from the Lord Chancellor, at Tunbridge-wells, to produce the infant Miss. Nicholson. Smith attended on Thursday, before his Lordship, when he denied any knowledge df the parties, 131.13 BAILED'.
