This was an action of trove', brought by the Exe cutors of a Mr. John Noakes, to recover from the defendant a quantity of guineas and half guineas. Mr. MARRYATT, for the plaintiffs, stated, that they were the Executors of a Mr. John Noakes, near I Deal, in this county. That they, after his death, sold his household furniture, and the defendant bought at the sale an old chest of drawers for 4s. 6d. Now it happened that old Noakes, who was very fond.of hoarding his guineas, had put upwards of 100 guineas in a secret drawer in this old chest of drawers, and he died one day, forgetting to let any body know of the circumstance. In consequence his Executors knew nothing.of it, and they sold the drawers, which the defendant purchased. When he got home he discovered the secret drawer and the prize. It happened some one was present, and the thing got wind. The Executors, as soon as they heard of the fact, demanded the money, but the de fendant insisted that he had bought the drawers, and that he was entitled to all their contents. This was the only question to be decided in this case; and he dared to think that the Jury would think the Execu, tors entitled to the property. Thomas.Kiugsmill, an auctioneer, proved the sale of old Noakes's property in June last, and that the defendant bought an old chest of drawers for 4s. 6d. Richard Bailey was present when the chest of drawers was brought home to the defendant's. He shelved the witness his purchase. He pulled on t a large drawer, and observed to the witness it was a good large drawer. The witness offered to lend him a hand to get them into the house, and in doing it, as they turned the drawers round, a little secret drawer shot out with a bag in it. The defendant took it up and said, " I suppose this is a bag of old buttons," but on opening it, it proved to be guineas and half guineas. The defendant said it WAS a are !prize, and desired the witness to say nothing aLout it. The witness asked him what he would expect in, a like situation ? Defendant said he would expect some . finall matter. Witness said hr w much ?—He thought five guineas a sin ill matter. The defendant then said, as he had demanded five guinea, he should not have a farthing. He also stated, that there was a paper in the drawer which stated the amount to be 125 or 155 guineas, he could not recollect w:ich. Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury for the de fendant. Verdict for the plainiff—dams;es 111,1, DRURY-LANE THEATRE. A new romantic Operatic Drama was last night' acted for the first time, under the title of Rob Roy the Gregaraelt. The title of this piece announces its I origin, but not its fable. It is not the romance thrown into a Play, as might be supposed, and this the Au-' thor has been careful to explain in a preface to the songs. His own words may be most satisfactory to our Readers, and he therefore shall speak for himself. " I have," says he, " adopted only one or two lead ing incidents from it, and made them subordinate parts of a whole, which moves upon very different principles. This change in the story naturally in duced a corresponding change in the colouring of the characters ; scarcely one feature of the Romance remains in any of the first personages ; Diana Vernon, Rob Roy, Dougal, &c. are so essentially distinct from the originals bearing the same names, that without some notice, disappointment must have ensued."— The following is a brief outline of the plot : Sir Rashleigh Osbahlistone is about to marry Diana Vernon, who is commanded by her father, General Vernon, to accept of his proffered hand, though the young Lady herself is most averse to the proposed union. The General marches against Rob Roy, and it is in his absence that the marriage is to be solemnized. — When at the altar Diana is snatched from Rashieigh by Rob Roy, who is the object of her love. The General, ensnared by Donal, is made prisoner by Helen Macgregor, the mother of the ontlaw, and is'about to be sacrificed to her fury, when the Seer Morvyn interposes to save hint, and in the end he is te n stored to liberty. !Wen, on learning that her son Rob Roy leas made Diana ''ernon his wife, indignantly urges him to cast her' ff. Ile refuses, and she leaves hint threatening vengeance. The outlaw is compelled to leave his wife in the care of his clansman DougaL Helen succeeds in separatioz Diana from bqr Protector, and conducts her to a cemetery, where she corn. pels her to swallow what she believes to be a deadly poison, which she had' procured from filorvyn. Rob Roy becomes a captive to Sir Rashleigh. Ile escapes; is overtaken by Sir Rashleigh ; a fight ensues ; the latter is conquered, and death rewards a treacherous attempt on the lite of the victor. Ilek.n falls the victim of remorse for the supposed murder of Diana,. who has only been thrown into a sleep by the drugs of Morella. She revives in due time and is restored to Rob Roy, his pardon having been previously procured by the General, who has be. come reconciled to their union. It will at once be seen from the above sketch, that the Play of Drury-lane has little or no general re •semblance to the Rob Rol of the other Theatre. In several of the most prominent scenes they are nearly the same, but for the most part there is all the dills-. rence between them that is usually found between an Opera and a Melo-drama. Several of the situa tions were highly dramatic, and excited the most lively interest, and some of the efforts at humour were completely successful. The progress of the, Play, however, is frequently too slow, and occasio. nally the action is so abrupt, that it very imperfectly explains itself. This was felt in the sudden turn of Rashleigli's fortune, who is left prisoner to General' Vernon in one scene, and who, when he next appears, is the Commander of a military force, which under his orders has secured the outlaw Rob Roy. These things, added to a want of discipline in the military iployed on the occl - with some of the accidents BOX V. JONES, ESQ. AND FIVE OTHERS. This was an action of assault and false imprison ment against Mr. Alderman Jones, a tailor, at Can terbury, and five watchmen of that town, committed upon the plaintiff, who is the coachman of Lady Fagg, on the 6th of January, ISI7. The case was this: Oa the 6th of January, in the evening, the Lady of Sir John Fagg, accompanied by her daugh ters, attended a ball at Canterbury, Her Ladyship having dismissed the coachman, with orders to at tend again with the carriage about half-past twelve o'clock, he took the coach to the Talbot Inn, and, accompanied by the footman, he went to a neigh bouring house to get some refreshment, and, after staying there about half an hour, he went to his fa- - ther's, where he remained till about twelve, when,l thinking it time to get the carriage ready, he went to the Talbot, and drove the carriage from thence to the Assembly House, and waited the orders of his mistress. In the mean time, he and the footman, sauntered up and down the street. Whilst thus em ployed, the Worshipful Alderman Jones was see n walking on the other side of the way, in a contrary. direction. He crossed over, and came in contact • with the , footman, who was walking round a post to gec-nt of the way of the worthy Aldexman, who- seemed disposed to dispute the passage. The man. • lalingliscitions of the grave Magistrate impressed the. footman with a conviction that he had been pro nouncing his ju : i r t e ment m! the vintage of a neigh bouring. -inn. wo rthy Magistrate viewed the figure of the footman fiom top to toe, and asked -mho he lOciked at? To which the • Knight of the `•Shmilder4not, (who had twigged the cut of the wor thy drapers mottUni), replied, that he had a right to use his eye-sight as well as another. Incensed at the taunting manner of the reply, the defendant sum moned up magisterial authority, and Insisted upon knowing the name of the footman. The latter de ter determined to reflect all the consequence of his' master, replied, that he would not give his name to so impertinent a fellow. Ile then resolved to clip the matter short, by sending the offender to the round-house. The footman net liking this, relaxed a little in the height of his crest, ind said that if the worthy Alderman particularly wished it, his name should be disclosed,. and having told his name, h e • was going away, when the coachman whipped in be tween his fellow-servant and the Justice, and asked what was the matter ? The Worshipful Magistrate not deigning an explanation, immediately called the vigils of the night to his assistance, and the man was fortl}with hastened off to the watcl -'muse (the stiperin tendant of which and four watchmen were included in this declaration), and was there kept for the space of twenty minutes, by which time, through the in fluence of Lady Fagg, the captive was released. Se veral circumstances appeared connected with the conduct of Mr. Jones, not quite consistent with the gravity of the Magistrate. At a former Assizes the. plaintiff was nonsuited for want of sufficient notice to the defendant, under the Statute to tender amends, • and therefore'it was brought forward again free from that oliectiou..—Verdict for plainthf—Damages 101. i i •' s . ,it— , F i • i . .
