The winter amusements of this fashionable wa tering-place will commence in the ensuing week. The following seizures were on Tuesday, brought to his Majesty s Custom-house, at this port, by the Commander of his Majesty's Admiralty crnizer GREY HOUND, viz. Glory lugger, of Weymouth,. with 103 casks of foreign spirits, and three of tea ; one man committed to Dorchester jail.—Pheasant cutter, of ditto, with four men and 50 casks.—Cruizieg . boat, with a seizure of 11 casks of spirits ; making, in the whole, 298 casks of spirits, within these ten days.— Notwithstanding on that day it blew a strong gale at south, Mr.DAVIS, Excise Tide Surveyor, and his four bdatmen, put to sea on the same'service ; but this ex cessive zeal had nearly cost the whole - the loss of their lives, as the boat upset off this harbour,"half a mile distant. The Commander of the GREYHOUND,' J. NUGENT, Royal Navy, was the first to jump into his boat, and push out to their assistance, in sight of hundreds of spectators, who witnessed this sad disas ter, and expected the whole to have been consigned_ to a watery grave. This Gentleman, by !inactivity and humanity, has had the secret satisfaction "of saving a man, by name Benjamin Plumpty. His in trepidity at an Officer and Seaman, are too well known to need any eulogium. but it is universally hoped that his conduct, on this dangerous occasion, will not pass unnoticed.

PREROGATIVE COURT, DECRIIIIRR•4: • "unite& AND VtILLMAN V. IIAbOIN AND OTHERi. Sir jOVIN NIOO4 gave Judgment on this _case; ihhich Ocbupied several days' ariument r respecting Capacity, controul, And undue influence, touching the last will of Anne Jenks, widow,' late of Ldington; stage coach proprietrix. The property amounting to Sibarly 1:20,000. . The deceased died on the 17th of June, 1816, at' the fife of ninety-four; and a will, dated November 4k, 1815, is propounded by Hunter and Bullrisan, whb are executors therein named in trust for iheniselves, 1 ,40 the only persons entitled in distribution of her pro petty In equal shares. The deceased's maiden name rwas Bullman, and her family was resident is the County of Durham. She kept stage teethes, wbirit Iran between London and Llington i residing St *a latter place. : After the death of het husband, heti' only !George Jenks, resided with her, and nfaisaged thi• bdsi.ness until his death in July,lBls. The deceased Then tontinued to manage the business herself; until: her health and capacity began -to decline.-' By - the evidence of Eliot, a coachman, the deceased, for twelve months previous to her death, was unable' to: count money received, and be used to deposit deviate in different bags; and it appeared, likewise, before the' son's death, she was reduced to a state of total inca pacity and childishness. But, according to the dent* of Miss Bullman; within twelve months before. her death she considerably changed, and her mental. faculties became quite perfect and unimpaired. With her relations, it appeared, she had kept up hardly any intercourse. John Bulimia, a grand•ssephier of. the deceased, was at that time an Excise Officer ' raj,- denvat Bristol, his wife and family - residing andkeep ! ing a school at Walworth. Mr. Hunter, ship owner, • another grand nephew, lived at Newcastle, coming occasionally to town, and visiting deceased. • He was in London when the sOn died, but did not know 9f his death till he received a letter at Newcastle to that effect. Mr. Lumley, another grand nephew, was made an executor to the will of - George Jenks, the son, by which he left the whole of his property to his mother (£10,000), trust for the Lumleys, and the deceased seemed to have had a greater degree of . intercourse with Mr. Lumley, than with the rest of; Iter relations. When the son died, it was made known to his executors, that there was a considerable - sum of money in the house. They applied to Mr. Wicks, a • neighbouring Magistrate, to be present at the count ing, because it appeared the deceased was then incapa ble of attending to any thing. Mr. Wicks called a day or two after, and found the deceased quite childish. John Sunman, who, it appeared, was almost an en- . tire stranger to the deceased, hearing of the death of George Jenks, the son, immediately came to town to take care of her property; and for that purpose, takes possession of the deceased's house, and the cus tody of her person, which he continued to her death. There was no evidence that this was by her consent or desire, or that she had ever , shewn any regard for him; hence arose that undue influence, cuoody, and contreul, imputed to him. It appeared, that during this period, she had been induced to make Ind execute three different wills, revocatory of each others and the evidence went to chew, that she was,in that stSt9'4' of incapacity and acquiescence in all thatisez de+iiff' - or proposed, as to.be a mere machine or hailltment, Moving as she was directed. Many witnesses spoke to her dislike efJohn Bur man ; ip a kind of half childishness, saying he was no relation, and she wished him to take up his bag and be gone. Her son's executors recommended her be ing removed to another house, to live by 'herself in'. town, but this was opposed tiy John Bullman, and the executors pressed. it no further. • The impression excited in her mind, but whether at the instance of Bullman, wan, that they wanted to.-turn her out of; her house. . AbOut three or four weeks 'after her son's death,- Mr. Lumley asked Bullman if. he thought deceased was capable of making a will P Bullman said she bad Better make a willin favour of Lamle, ; but: Lumley said he would have nothing-to do with the transaction ; he stated' that Bullman thew ed great coolneal.towards him afterwards, and would never salfeilliht to be alone with'• the deceased. Whed Minter returned from Newcastle,' Mr. Bullman and be waited on Mr. Pollard, air Attorney, for the par- • pope of getting him to make a will by their instric: . does ; and, on the 2d of September, they applied to Mr. Robertson, Executor of George Jenks, to be in- • formed of the contents of his will. The pretence of this - inquiry was on behalf of deceased's relations at castle. Pollard and Hunter agreed to meet at deceased's house the nest day. Deceased looked up,' as if moth pleased to see Hunter, but said nothing to that effect. Bullman entered the room, when Pollard observed to deceased, Hunter *as a relation; but the other interrupted by saying, he was nearer,' and his name was Bullman. Pollard advised that claims should be•put in by the-rest of her relations. This, the JUDOS observed, was treating deceased as a mere cypher. • A Mr. Smith, one of the executors of her rem, called with Mr. Lumley on the deceased, and es.; • plained that be understood she had' authorised Mr. Bullman to receive her son's money out of the hands • of them, the son's executors (which it appeared they • had act ually transferred to him); she replied,. she did not wish him to receive any, of it. Smith asked if she wished to make any alteration in her will She replied ." Yes," bet looked round us if she did • not with Bullman to hear her. Bullman,. ifter. Aw l peatecl.refusals, consented that Lentle,•adel-Smitlt should see the detekted, on condition that : the -tooth door should be left open, and the servant tailted to be present. Bullman remained id anotherinottes.? . According to the evidence of L**, ... , lhe deteleete. , was very much dissatitfied with .Bnftant that the meant to leave hith only £lOO, bat that be Wgivedt satisfied with that sum. It appeered she wV At sit. .time ready to make a new will at the sol c-4116We! any party applying to her. • „ The Cover observed, it was imposstlak to upon the two wills obtained from the deem , presence of, andin favour eshose interested one of whom had as:Amid the entire v. -- controul over bar.
