INQUEST' JUItLES. The question as to the liability of the inhabitants of the Parish of &. Andrew, Holborn, to serve on Juries on the bodies of persons who die in Sc. Bartholomew's Hospital, was agitated yesterday. On Tuesday the Co. tuner issued a warrant, directed to the Beadle, requiring h:rn to summon a Jury to inquire into the death of Peter Neale. at the above Hospital, and yesterday a Jut y assembled there lor that purpose; when, previous to their being sworn, Mr. Browne, one of the Jury, expressed a wish to en. ter a protest against the right of the Coroner to summon a Jury from that Parish on bodies of persons who died out of it.—The Coroner said, he could not receive the protest : as it could not be a matter of record. The Jury might present a protest, if they thought proper. Mr. Browne said, this accident happened out of my Parish, and therefore I don't think I ought to serve on this Jury. 1 deny the right of the Coroner to summon me here, and most of my fellow-parishioners are of my opinion. Some legal advice ought to be taken on the subject, and if we submit now, it will vitiate our future resistance. Mr. Guest, tie Foreman of the Jury, said, he had never known a case where the inhabitants of St. An drew's had been summoned to attend a Jury ont of their own Parish. The Coroner said, he could give no opinion as to whether it would prejudice the question now pending in the Court of Exchequer, if the Jury consented to serve on the preient occasion. As to the right claimed by the Parish, he thought they had but a remote prcbabi lity of success in establishing it, having no grant to ex empt them from serving on Julies, any more than the test of the inhalitants of thy City. If he were called on hereafter as a witness, he would mention what had taken place there that day ; but if the Jury refused to serve, he would indict them at the Sessions. Mr. Gibb;tis said, the accident happened at such a eistance, the Jury could love no knowledge of the lo cality. St. Sepulchres rails?) bad been summoned, and attended, for the last 30 yeats, and he thought they ought to continue to do so. The Coroner said, that was because that Palish was the nearest to the Hospital, which was situate in the Palish of St. Bartholomew the Less, from whence a Jury could n-ft be summoned; but the inbab tants of St• Sepulchre, finding the other Parishes of the Ward were equally liable, determined to shake off the yoke. After some further conversation, the Inquest proceeded, when it appealed that the deceased WAS accidentally killed by a fall from a scaffold in Moor fields ; and the Jury returned a verdict accordingly. The Rev. G. P. Ilicitanus, of Beverley, returning from Cottingham to the former place on Tuesday even ing last, in a gig, accompanied by a servant, the horse ran away with them, in consequence of a fright, and Mr. RIORAILO3, to escape the danger, leaped out, and un fortunately broke the small bone of his leg. The historian Boisard, who wrote in the 17th cen tury, states, in describing the revenues of the French Clergy in his tithe, that they possessed 3,000 lordships, in which they had the chief power in exercising poli tical justice; that they had also 240,000 country villages, 7,000 acres of vineyards, besides the tithes they received from other vineyards; 125,000 fish-ponds, and 90,000 acres of meadow ground. The same author writes, that the ecclesiastical men of France,' in his time, did annually consume 4,500,000 measures of pure wheat, (tach measure containing 6001b5.) 900,000 measures °Coats, 800,000 of bailey, 860,000 of pets, 180,000 fat capons, 860,000 - hens, 600,006' partridges, •12,500, fat oseni, 12,000 fat wethers, and 7,000,000 of eggs. • .►'~. t. • EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION: • An elderly 'female. in very wretched apparel, and' A dependent for subsistence upon Christchurch PA ri,h, in the City of London, but possessing the manners and cultivated mind of a Gentlewoman, appliA to the LORD MAYOR, yesterday, for his ad vice on a subject of rather an extraordinary nature. —The circumstances to which she called his 1..0N1- ship's attention were these:—Her name is Loinas. —Her g►andfather was a man of high. re.pecta bility, and of great accomplishments. Tie Dowager Duchess of Somerset, from whom the present Doke ttf Northumberland was descended, mart led him. Toe marriage was what was called a Fleet marriage, and ss as at the time it took place to all intents and purposes legal. An Act, however, was passed in the ensuing year (1752), making Fleet marriages null and void ; but although this Act could not be supposed to have a retrospective operation, the Duchess of Somerset w•:te apprehensive that some question might arise in the event of her death as to the claims of her husband upon her property, and for the put pose r f securing him agaiast all passible bad con•erlaences that might result tram dispu:ing hi. right, made over to him the sum of 60,000/. by a deed, which pl iced that sum wholly beyond the r,ach of any of the family. Soot, after the Beath of the Duchess, Air. Lomas gave a most decided proof of his magnanimity by resigning the deed to the late Duke of Northumberland, whom he considered better entitled to the property of the Dowager Duchess. An acknowledgment of this splen did sacrifice was given to Mr. Lomas in writing, by the Noble Person to wham it was made. It was kept at his death by the mother of the unfortunate applicant to the Lord Mayor, who, in consequence of unexpected reverses of fortune, was compelled to remind the late Duke of the obligation, and received an annual recom pense without - delay or hesitation. This letter, the applicant said, she had had in her possession until lately, and the wolul state of indigence to whieis she was reduced, compelled her to make known to his Grace, the present Duke of Northumberland, through one of his agents, that she was the grand-daughter of Mr. Lomas, who had married the Dowager Duchess of Somerset, and given up to the family 60,000/. the interest upon which would, if that Gentleman had not acted in so highly disinterested a manner, have made that sum worth 80,0001. to his unfortunate posterity, the last of whom was now representing her deplorable condition to the Lord Mayor. The Gentleman whom she had requested to make the representation to his Grace was a Clergyman. He asked her, af•:er he had had an interview with his Grace, whether she would consent to give up the letter of acknowledgment upon having the sum of 501. a year settled on her for life? To this proposition she immediately assented.—She, however, did not authorise the Clergyman to resign the paper until the necessary form by which she was to become entitled should be executed. What, dies,' was her disappointment, when she was informed that the paper was given up without any condition. The only recompense she received was '251. but she was confident that if those facts reached the ear of the Duke of Northumberland, a recoil, ction of the past great service, the advantages of which his Grace 'was now enjoying, would impel him t•o bestow a charitable thought upon the grandchild of a man to whom it was ridiculous to say he wa, not deeply indebted. 'lle 1-ono MAYOII said, he was convinced that if the claim of :qrs. Lomas was of the nature described, the Duke of 'Northum berland would at once attend to it. Mrs. 'Amassed, that if his Lordship would take the trouble to communicate the nature of her claim to his Grace, no doubt it would be soon found that it was not forgotten. ;lit Lordship, although exceedingly reluctant to interfere in matters which had no reterence to the duties of .ituatiosa. 1.1 0. rnised to make some inquiries, and immediately, as w. und;:rstool, wrote to the Duke. An accident befel one of the 17th Lancers the ether night at Brighton, which was bad enough, hu; night have been worse. He was scaling the barrack walls to get in at midnight, when just as he had nearly cleared them, in taking. a spring his foot was caught between the iron spikes, and he fell, and hung dangling, heels uppermost, roaring most lustily for help, till his com rades relieved him from his painful situation, and car ried him off sadly bruised, but with no bones broken, to the hospital. Seven.l psyular actors ate now on shooting excur sions. Trey should bear in mind the misfortunes of certain ct their fraternity Bannister, Barrymore, Dowton, and Mathews, who have each been severely wounded while busied in such pursuits ; the former on being some few years since pressed with asimilar invita tioo,declined alleging as an excuse that in his last attempt he made a very bad hand at it, and that in his opinion it was best for performers to decline such engagements, confine their talent to the stage, and only " Shoot Folly as it Kies." In 5-. Alban's Church, in Wonal-street, which n founded in the time of King ATIIKI.STAN, or about 921, was flung among the plebeian skulls, the head of the unfortunate James the FIFTH, of Scotland. His body, for a long time, had Temained embalmed at the monastery at Sh.2:l . After the dissolution, it was cast among some rubbish,where some workmen wanzoaly cut off the head, which was taken by You ro, the glazier io Queen Elizabeth, who was struck with its sweetness, arising from the embalming materials. He kept i: for a considerable time at his house in Wood-street ; but at last gave it te the Sexton to bury among other bones in the charnel-hcuse. FORESTALLING.--The following curious advertise ment is copied•from the . It'arwiek Advertiser of last week. The Mayor and Magistrates of Warwick were probably not aware that the 12th of George 111. c. 71. repeals all . the laws against " ingrosser s, forestallers, and egrators." lf, therefore, this notice leads to the ap-, preliens•on of any unhappy Wight charged with fore stalling, the " utmost rigour of the law'' may happen to fall, not on him, but on the Officer by whom he is apprehended. It seems strange that at this time of day, " Tibbits, town-clei k," or any other clerical or unclerical name, should be signed to such a document. We should as soon have expected a magisterial notice against witchcraft : " The Mayor and Magistrates. of this borough, having received information that the practice of forestalling is carried on to a great ex tent, by persons buying up large quantities of comma dities.as they are being brought to, and in the market, and forthwith selling them again at enhanced prices, to 'the great injury of the Public, Notice is hereby given, that proper persons are a l ,pointed, for the purpose of detecting those who may be guilty of such practices ; and if any such are found, they will be prosecuted to the utmost rigour of the law.—By order of the Mayor ,and Magistrates,---4 , Toms, Town Clerk." \~ POLICE INIELLIGENCE, GUILDHALL Mr. Harvey, a linen-draper, on Ludgate-hill, was summoned to shin' cause why he detained a sheep. It appeared that the animal, when driven from Smithfield on Monday last, being frightened by a dog, dashed forward against the folding doors of Mr.llarvey's shop, which it burst open, and broke two Large squares of glass, value 1C.5. Mr. Harvey caused the sheep to be seized, and de tained it in his cells until the damage was made good. Ile did Lot press fur the full value of the glass, bur would be content to receive 3GI 6s. the price t:f ordinary crown window glass. The owner of the sheep contended that Mr. Harvey could not recover a farthing for broken windows, they being only a few inches from the ground, and therefore peculiarly liable to be broken. Notsvith -standing the drover insisted that an Act to that effect was nom riously in existence, the Statute books were searched, but no law limiting the distance +love the pavement at which whop window* should commence could be discovered. Mr. Aldertnan liatuuss said, his private opinion of the law of the question was, that Mr. Harvey w..s not justifi,sl in detaining the sheep, and he would recommettd bin; to receive a guinea in dis charge of iu, oil of expenses. The owner a the sheep then pressed for an order for the deli set) of it to hint, a 3 his undoubted property, n ithout payment of the guinea, liaving Mr. H. to recover that in any manner could. Tln Alderman, however, declined milting any in kr whatever in the business, and the parties retired. noms I'REET.

The driver of a hackney coach appeared upon summons, to an swer the charge of Mr.Powis ' fur having exacted from him sixpence more than his fate. He pleaded guilty to the charge, and observed that though the fare was one shilling, yet the time occupied in going, from the numerous stoppages on the road, nearly authorised his demand of Is. 61 He was lined 10s. and costs.

Mrs. l'enlurrt, alias Lady Cockburn, was brought up far re-ex-. amination, for unlawfully pawning some sheets and a watch, the property of Mrs. Watts, with whom She had lodged. The watch had been taken out of pawn by some one, and therefore that charge fell to the ground.—Mrs. Watts admitted that she bad employed the prisoner to pawn articles for her, but not the sheets iu question. .4 Mr. Smith, who had known Mrs. Watts aid the prisoner fur some years, said that he had known them to be in the habit of pawning for each other. He offered to pay Mrs. Watts for the sheets, if she would not press the charge.—The Magistrate, under all the circumstances of the case, thought she bad better accept the proposal. Ile paid the money, and the prisoner was set at liberty. Tuesday, Samuel Harris, career and gilder, Brook -street, Bond. street, appeared on a summons fur unlawfully disposing of a •alu able painting which had been entrusted to him by a Gendeatati of the name of Smith. Mr. Smith informed the Magistrate that the painting in question, which he considered worth more than £2O, and which was said to be by llubens, had been delivered to Mr. Harris in order to be re touched. Mr. Harris wished to buy it from him, and on Mr. Smith refusing to sell it, the other off:red two floe paintings in exchange for it. Mr. Smith took time to consider of the proposal, and in the meantime sent a friend to Mr. Hants by way of bounding him as to the value of these two paintings. He would not pan with them for less than £2O. So Mr. Smith began to think that his single painting which 31r. Harris seemed so anxious to purchase was worth much more than the two. He resolved to keep it, and requested Mr. Harris to send it home as soon as repaired, but he had sold it in the meantime. Mt. Kos directed that the de:endant should either produce the picture within a cestain time or find hail. It was produced yesterday, when, after the Counsel on both sides, amounting to three, had consulted for some time, the parties came to an amicable arrangenwtst, and Mr. Ilarris delivered up the painting on receiving AS fur repairs. '-— - HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Richard Fraser, a stout deaf and dumb man, was brought up on a warrant, by Lee, the officer, charged with having assaulted . his wife. Lee uid that the man could not speak one word, so that the wife had it all her own way ! Mr. Serjeant Saixoo—l dare say' shell talk enough for both. The wife (a little creature., whose face betrayed no objection to gin) then said, my husband here came, not exactly drunk, and as►ed use for sonic money to go out again ? He was born deaf and dumb, and can't speak a word, your Worship ; so as I had no money to give him he got into . passion, and without more ado took hold of my pocket, and took out the money by force. He-then knocked me down, and ;;are me a blow seer the face, and here it is, your Worship. He then stood over me, and swore he would murder me. Mr. Serjeant SKLI.O2/I—l thought you sail be could not speak? Wife—Oh, Sir! but I knew what he meant; and I won't be murdered by him nor nobody else. Mr. Serjeant Ser.Los—l hope not; but as he did not say be would murder you. there is no harm. The man cannot speak. Wife—Oh, Sir; but he has double sense as one who can speak! and I wish to confine him. Mr. Serjeant Sat.t.on—Oh, but I won't confine him. The of. firer says that he is a very sober and well behaved man, and you should be very tkankful that he earns you so much money as a guinea a week. The officer here said that this morning the man was pPrfectly-, sober, working at his busincsa, and was as gentle as a lamb. He underact:lod that the wife drank all his money. . . . . . . . . . . The wits strongly denied this, and wished her husband to be confined.- Mr. Serjeant Satton—l will not confine him. You must get some mutual friend to make matters up. The Wife—Will you make ni.)tiaos to him to be good? Mr. Serjeant Sci.tort (smiling)--I will make nu motions to him. I have done making motions. The goiJ wife was then ordered to move off, and her husband lon/ rd " unutterable things." Itichard Puller, was brought up for a final beating before Mr. Serjeant on several charges of swindling. Mr. Wingfield, the landlord of the White Hart, Holborn, and Mr. Knapping, landlord of the Red Lion, Whitechapel, gave some details respecting the prisoner's conduct. Mr. Austin, a Gentleman to whom the prisoner, on his first ex amination very confidently referred, as being on terms of the closest incirnai:y, then came forward, and stated that he knew nothing whatever about him, except that he bad called at his (Mr. Austin's) house, in the Commercial-road,. and represented himself as having just landed in Kt:gland from Demerara, where he had large planta tions—his name, he said, was " Rogers," and as be (Mr. Austin) knew that there were several Gentlemen of large fortune in the island, be did not entertain a doubt as to the truth of the statement. The prisoner had Ms pair of houses, a servant-in livery attended him,' and be seemed in every respect that which he represented himself to be. As a means of better introduction, he said he had got letters to deliver to him from some friends in Demerara. which he would not give up, unless Mr. Austin Would consent to dine with hint at his hotel, the White Hart, in Holborn, where he certainly exercised the rights of hospitality, in providing an excellent dinner, with some capital Madeira wine, all, it now appeared, at the expense of Mr. Wingfield, the accommodating proprietor. After dinner, he spoke on various topics, and, among the rest, be said that he was going to his banker's to cash a check for £l,OOO, as his money was nearly run out. On the following day Mr. Austin called fur the letters, and was then quite surprised to- hear from Mr. Wingfiel d . that his Demerara friend was th e n sa f e ly l o d ge d .at another betel— Coldhathfields prison. Serjeant SCLLON, after very maturely going over the whole of the evidence, said, that although no doubt could possibly be enter tained as to the prisoner's character, yet, unfortunately for society and for the ends of public jtiatice, he happened to be one of those who calculated their distances with such nicety as to keep without the pale of the Act. There - were many offences comparatively tri fling which came within the reach of the law, for which there were specific modes of punishment; in those cases of gross frauds upon tradesmen, upon which there can be no moral doubt, it was to be regretted that at 'present the Act was not sufficiently explicit and comprehensive in its proirisions. However, as the publicity had been given, it was to be hop e d t h at the Public would be on their guard. The only way the complainants had of recovering their de mands was by a civil process. The prisoner was then discharged. QUERN-SQUARE. Janus Giles, the driver of a stage-coach...which runs from London to Nihau), appeared on an information pry erred by a person named Reynolds, for furiously driving his horses on Monday last, near the Secretary of Stare's 'Office. Thompson, the street•leeper,' appeared. as witness for the information.—On tbeclefendant being called on to plead, ' Mr. Buzau% a solicitor, who attended on his belkilf, after le., living the hi ditiditio teak ti °bifida& to k, kfaarfel Au it h. nut been proved according to tke Act of Pariiamentbasstipithr i d c, the Legislature, and peissosti in the 00th • year of his bite kl aiest i George the Third's reign. The objection proved to be fatal, and the information was conks quently quashed. UNION-HALL Reardon, who was charged about ten days ago with a desp erate assault nu a constable named Newcombe, at Vanshafi-Gard eN whose life was despaired-of, in consequence of a severe blow lie received on the head, from a staff that Reardon had in his hoary was yesterday brought before ti. SWAIT, Esq. for re.examinatioa. A certificate front Mr. Callaway, an eminent surgeon, who a „ tt.nded the wounded man, was produced ; it was to the effect, nu e the constable was much better, yet he could not app ear and give evidence against the prisoner, without a danger of pr„, lacing a return of those unpleasant symptoms which had hither;„ attended hilt.—The prisoner was then taken away in the cancay of the jailer. ' Yesterday a man of respectable family, named Norton, charged with having excited a disturbance before the house of se, lineage, his brother-in-lase. The *defendant, it appears, lad naked a-good education, and at the age of eighteeu was appuic t( 4 a midshipman on board the Pheasant sloop of war i he was, 1, 41 ,- Over, discharged from the ship, on account of his improper ceeds.s:. On reaching England, he addicted himself to drinking and Ls Company, and plunged into a course of the most wanton extrau sauce. His friends endeavoured to reclaim him ; his father, el, was an Alderman at Covent' y, suppll.4 him liberally with mum which he speedily spent in liquor in public houses. He then rt. turned to his father's hour., dressed in the meanest garb, caik,f down vengeance on his father's head, and informed the crowd t:i4 his father was the author of his misfortunes. This conduct on tie son's part soon hastened his parent's deah, and a situation was tint procured for the defendant, as mate in a West Indiaman. At the commencement of the voyage, when the vessel was beating down Channel, in the middle of the night, and when the defendant was appointed officer of the watch, he nude all hands on deck drunk, and ran . the skip on the racks off the coast of France. Mc Cap. tain, in amazement, beheld the breakers surrounding him, but by great exertions saved the lives of the men, and the ship. The de. fendant was then taken hack frein whence he came, and since which time he had disgraced the members of his family ; yesterday morning he collected a mob round his (Mr. Savage's) doer, sad threstened to murder him, if he did not - give him money. The 'Magistrate said, it was necessary Mr. Savage should be pro. tected, and he hell the defendant to bail. . The defendant presented a most wretched appearance, being ca. veloped in rags, as he invariably disposed of his cloches to procure liquor. A man named James Wa;•ner, a tailor, and Eleanor, his wire, were charged by Mary Negia Warner, a girl about fifteen yea, old, and 'daughter of the male pliioner, with having at yawn) times cruelly beaten her. It appeared by the poor girl's statement, that ever since her mother s death her unnatural father had sent her forth to plunder, and that whenever she returned home without any booty, he and his wife beat and pinched her, and kept her without food. Sik mentioned the names of several tradestner. whom she bad robber and also of the pawnbrokers with whom she had pledged the fruits of her miserable avocation. Both the prisoners were remanded, in order that the pank, robbed and the pawnbrokers might attend. LAMBETH-STREET. J. Green, alias Bryant, alias .; .b . u idle ray, drest in the first style of fit.hion, was charged with burglary in the house of Mr. Ponsonly, of Manor-row, Tower-hill, and stealing various sticks, several ilk which were found in his house, which the officers described as being furnished iu a very superior style. Previous to the commencement of the bearing, he offered the prosecutor a consider - Ale sum to stay proceedings, which was indignantly refused, and he was fully committed. M. l'Abbe de la Victoire said of G—, who never ata at home, and who spoke ill of every one, " That fell°, never opens his mouth but at somebody's expense!" PenvEcTiox.—A French preacher was once descant. ing from the pulpit with great eloquence on the beauties of the creation; " whatever," said he, « comes from the hands of Nature is complete. She forms everything perfect." One of his congregation, very touch at. formed, and having a very large hump, went up to hint at the close of his discourse, and said, " What think you of me, Holy Father, am I pecfcci ?" To which the preacher replied very coolly, " Yes, for a bump-backed man, quite perfect." WIT or OUR FORRIATIIEKS.—The peace of 171 gave great satisfaction. to the citirens ; ani the procla mation of it was honoured ith the usual St tte _cere monies, the re,ponses of shouts and bonfires, and with general illuminations. Although many eccentric methods may have been taken by individuals to express their joy, one only of tho:e • has been recorded, whicl• was the thought of the keeper•of the Spread Eagle Inn, in Gracechurch-street, who advertised one shillinr tickets f a PRACR pudding, nine. • feet in length, twent inches in breadth, and six inches deep.
