As we being the headset& (hip of our line, fame of the fternmoft hips of the enemy halted Spanins colours, and two of their lined' battle hips gave us each a broadfide. which we returned ; and we time learned that the kit broadfide they got, which was from us. hot away the fe coed Captain', leg, and did fame other damage. One of them then bore up, and raked us, but did us no material injury. Our line, who followed us clerk up, now began to open their fire on the enemy ; the weather being now become way thick and - foggy. we I were merely directed by the report of guns.

The Admi ral made the fign4l to engage the centre of the chatty, and this was the left fignal which could be oblate& daring the adtion,alte fog and Inioke being In thick as to render it impofilble for that to be teen. At five, perceived the leading fhip of the enemy's line ap pearing through the fog ; flue room came abrealt of us, followed by two others, honked Spanillt colours, and commenced the adion by her broadlide at the Hero. The fecond and third Mips dif charged their broadfides at us and the Sirius, which was inftantly returned. We then boqe up, to make for our line, and owing to the thicknefs of the weather, ran between the 6th and 7th Mips of the enemy's line ; the limner fired her broadlide, but forts lately without efftit. The Benin% and Combined Fiala tacked iu fuccefSon, and the former kept up a very heavy fire twos the enemy.

On the 22d infant, at Kirkconnell Honk, Tro queez, the Volunteers of Trogneer were invited by James Maxwext.; Efq. of Kirkconnell,.to !hoot for I Medals given by his Lady. The Corps fired in fuc etnlol2 at three different targets, and difplayed much (kill and dexterity, many of the bullets being in the centre of the refpative boards : they afterwards fired in platoons at a board which was foon completely ridded. Al they fired towards the fea, the drop. ping of every bullet was obferved, and feldom has a better direited fire been feen. This fine body of Volunteers returned to Kirkconnell Place, where they were regaled in the old Baronial Ryle of hofpi talky, and with genuine Caledunian glee kept up the merry dance, with the bonny laires of the neighbourhood, till a late hour. They marched home in regular order, and in the highell piths, accom panted by the bagpipes and other mufic. &c. This is the fecond ITIRMICC of the patriotic attention of Mr. Maxw ext. to the Volunteers. Kirkconnell Houfe is fituated in the fouthern ex tremity of the Parifh of Troqueer, on the weft fide of the banks of the Nith, Galloway ; it Rands in a pleafant vale highly cultivated, and ornamented by the liberal Proprietor, with rural fcenery ; and in it is an Ancient edifice, built about the t3th century the fiat record of which is noticed by its ancient mo , naftic proprietors.

This was a quettion of a peculiarly inter-fling defecipion. The Bill was opened by Mr. PLow. new, and Rated the Plaintiff, who fued its firma par perit, had filed it with a view to the recovery of his patrimony, confuting of eßates to a very confider aide amount, upwards of 14.0001. a year, unjuitir withheld from him by the Defendant Sydenham, Mr. alicourt, Mr. Burnell, John Fownes Lutterell, Efq. Sir Philip Hales, and feveral other perfons. The • fags alledged in the -bi:l were briefly thefe : John Whitelock, the ancettor of the Plaintiff, was parer fed of freehold eftates in the counties of Soinetfet and Avon, which were entailed on his male defcendants. died in the year i 65 1, and the climes defcended in a regular courfe of inheritance. The lad of the family in poffeffion, in the direft male line died in the year 1712, without Wire, and the Plaintiff's great grand father, being the next heir, was entitled to take poffeffion ; but he dying about the 'fame time. left his widow encrust, and the had a vlihummis child, who was the prefent Plaintiff's father, and the died herfelf in child bed. While the Plaintiff's fa ther was an infant orphan, the Defendant's anceflor, . who was a Reward to the family, married one of the daughters of Whitelock, and by that means ac- squired the catiody and guardianship of the Plaintiff's &her. It was - Rated, that inftead of ;Laing in con. foevaity. with the - moral obligations of that relation. dip, he availed himfelf of it• to get the ellates into biaown bands, and took every precaution to con ceal from .the infant the knowledge of his birth and pretenfions. To ices his purpole, he placed him milder the care of .a perfoh of the name of Widlake, and had him conftantly called by' that name, intlead of iris paternal one. The youth was nit to fchool to It man named Siderphin, who difeovered the fraud akdeavoured to be pradifed on his pupil ;and, to de aine than fttitnev t e ha p o ru f vl3,dithai;co have Kim called by any other Sydenham, the flew. ard, was alledged to have obtained deed* and levied lines for the purpofe of defeating the inheritance of the rightful heir, and at his death left the property to e prefent Defendant. The Plaintiff's father attain ed his age of 21 in the year 1737, but was never able to profecute his claim. It was further flared, that the Defendant had fold part of the Oates to Burnell, Sir John Luttrell, and the other Defendants, who were charged by the bill with full knowledge of the fraud, and a participation in the confederacy to rob the )Plaintiff of his birth right. Such was the outline of the allegation in the bill, which concluded by pray ing that the Defendants might by way of abltrad, and with as much brevity as poffible, Phew their titles to their poffeffions, and leave their title deeds in the hands of the Mailer, for the o infpeCtion of the Plain tiff, his Connie!. and agents. The Bill alfo prayed general relief,founding the Plaintiff's claim to it upon the fuggellion that as Sydenham, the father of the , Defendant, had wrongfully obtained poffeffion during att. minority of the Plaintiff's father; he was as weft as the Defendants a trultee for the right heir. This was a neceffary allegation to give the Court jurifdic don. There was a gereral demurrer to the bill by the Defendants, on the ground that the Plaintiff was not entitled to relief in equity. Mr. Iticuaans and Mr. Haar fupported the de murrer principally on the ground that the mere call ing the Defendant a trußce did not conflitute that chara&r. The queftion had upon a former occafion been before the Court upon a demurrer, which had been allowed, and the prefent bill only differed from the latt in 'omitting lime parts of it. He therefore contended that the Bill in its prefent Ihipe was equally' exceptionable for the extraneous matter it contained. and that the judgment of the Court ought to be limi lar to what it had before been. The Armen EY Gas ER/IL, who. with Mr. RoMILLY and Mr. Pxowosw, had been aligned by the Court as Counfel for the Plaintiff, in/Med that the Defendants were bound to anfwer the Bill, becaufe the Defen dant's father h eying taken poffeffionofthe ethics, while the Plaintiff's father was a minor, he was to all in ' tents and purpofes a truftee. The bare fad of appro priating the property of an infant conflituted a troll, and no lapfe of time could alter the original Rate of the qualm). Mr. ROI4ILLY conceived that nothing that had been Rated was a legitimate ground of demurrer. Ifs bill was multifarious, or contained matter that was ex , traneous or impertinent, it might be a reafon for tak ing,it off the files of the Court, but he bad never heard that it could be demurred to. It was well known that a bill had once been ligned by a very celebrated equity draughtfmaa, an 4 afterwards filed, which con tained what was certainly extremely foreign to the fubjeft it profeffed to, relate. to. No demurrer was , filed , but it was for its impertinence merely ordered to be taken from the rolls of the'Court*. He main. ltained.that in this cafe the Defendants were bound to anfwer the Plaintiff's bill. Psowuss role to addrefs • the Court on the , &we fide, but, as it was four o'clock, the LoauCH as - sso a a Adjourned the further confideration of the hufinefs till to-morroW. a The cireunillance *tided by the Learned Connie', may not he getierally known to our Readers, and as it is entertaining Milogb, we lay it bernreztliem, without thinking any apology ne , army. A Mr. B—, a Gentleman of the very firft rerperetabi lity, as a Chancery Solicitor, and one who her bad more pretties in that line than half the profeffion put together, was one day mak ing an obrervation to a friend with regard to the very unpardon •mble negligence of Counfel in figning. Bills in Cbanecry, without examining their contents, and in the Clerks in Court aftawards„ with equal inattention, filing loch Bills. lie offered a wager of a hundred guineas, that he would infcrt any thing he plesfed in the body of a Bill in Chancery, to matter how ridiculous, and that ft Mould pafs the ordeal of Connie', and all thq Agents of the Sit Clerks Office. The wager was accept. d, and Mr. B. availed Mae. fell of the fir& opportunity he had of filing a Bill, in which the probable event of delay by the dircovery of his trick was not ma. terial.
