The Defendant, Mr. Wood bine, was conviaed by two Juftices, of this offence. He was defirous of appealing, and applied to a Mr. Boyce for that purpofe, who applied to Mr. Simpfon, Attorney, for the informer. Mr. Simplon agreed that he would take the notice according ly ; but at the Quarter Seflions an ohjeftion w ai ta ken becaufe no. tice was not alto given to the parilh officers, who were to take care of the intereft of the pnpr of the parifh, to whom one half of this penalty belonged ; this.ob jeCtion was allowed, and the appeal *as difmiffed. . Mr. Wit.son contended it was rightly difmiffed, be utile all parties not being prefent, the Defendant would hue nothing to do but make op the matter with the informer, and the poor would have no part of the penalty ; but the Court thought the appeal ought to have been heard, And therefore made the rule abiblote. well V. cousim This leas an action on a bond, in a penalty of sor,bool. to pay mood. the proceediag on which we Rated when we announced the verdia for the Plaintiff. Mr. GaltROW applied for a new trial, not only on the ground that there was no evidence to fupport the verdia, but that the tellimony was wholly. from be ginning to end, in favour of the Defendant.—The only queftion in the caufe was, whether the Plaintiff knew of a certain debt due to Minton, competent to vacate all the fecurities giv e n t o Cans as the con. fideration for this bond; as if he were acquainted with this debt, the bond was fta,udulently procured, and the scion could not be fupported. Mr. GA minw likewife intimated, that there was additional written evidehce in favour of the Defendant, which would be extremely important when it came before another Jury.

Being precitely in the fame fituation, the fame Rule was granted. JANUARY 29. TOIL RING U. 2AYAGII. Mr. Gamow moved for a criminal Information again(! this Gentleman, for an afrault and challenge under the following circumftances : The Learned Counfel Paid, the Defendant, Mr. Hunt, and Sir W. Rawlins were playing at tit familiar game of three- Card 100. During the progrefs of the play, the lat ter took notice that Ms. Savage eluded playing a trump; according to the rules of the game, by which capedient, the Gentleman was enabled to convey into his pocket one third of the flake. Tbis was fol lowed by other irregularities inconfiftent with the eftablifhed order of the game, from which the De fendant derived confiderable advantages ;—but not content with thefe, before he retired, he feized a quantity of money which lay upon the table. While he was taking an abrupt departure, Sir W. Rawlins, addreffing him, laid (in allufion to his tranfatlion), 66 I hope, Sir, you will leave th e room lik e a Gentle man." Mr. Savage hallily enquired the motive of this obfervation ? to which Sir W. Rawlins replied, It will be more corral to reftore the money you have purloined before you withdraw." This remark was feared) , made, before Mr. Savage flruck Sir W. Rawlins a violent blow upon the temple, which the latter returned in the escefs of his indignation un der fuck treatment. Mr. Savage, before he left the room Paid, that be expelted to hear further from Sir W. Rawlins ; and this afratilt and challenge fupplied the ground of the application to the Court for this form of proceeding; by criminal information. Lord ELLaaaitotroa."

Mr. Run (aid. that an allion was commenced up on a bill of Eschauge against the Defendant ;—and on that allion the was arrelled. and was now in cuf tody. The Learned Counfel Paid he had affidavits to thew the was under coverture when the fait commenced. Not only the Plaintiff, but the Plain tiff's Attorney alto, were Sated in the depofitions to be fully informed that the was married to a Mr. Little, a Gentleman of the facred profeffion. What ever might be the Plaintiff's ignorance, there elat ed another objetlion to this melt and detention, with which the Solicitor mull have been acquainted. The Conntefs of Granard is a Peer& of Ireland, and is therefore protetted from fuch a form of procefs, by her rank of Nobility, the privileges of which have been confirmed by the articles of the late union be tween the two kingdoms. The motion before the Court was, that the Defendant Mould be difcharged out of cudody upon filing a common appearance.— Rule to thew caufe granted. COLS AND OTHERS V. GOWER. This motion was brought before the C ourt twin a cafe, the particulars of which were read by Mr. Barr, by which it appeared, that Mary Taylor, being preg. nant and unmarried, had, in the ufual form, fixed William Gower, the Defendant, as the putative fa 'then. The Defendant was taken into callody in con fequence ; and, to obtain his releafe, he offered :of. to the Para Officers. He was not able to pay the money immediately, and therefore they required fe curity. In compliance with their demand, he obtain ed the name of one Piggot to three bills, at fir, twelve, and twenty-four months, making in the whole the fum flared. This aaion was brought on the firfl bill, which was dated the Bth of April, and was for 61. The caufe was tried at Bedfotd, and a verdia was found for the Defendant, as to the tender he bad made of 51. and for the Plaintiff, as m the damages of twenty (killings. The child wab Mr. Bfirr, for the Plaintiffs„ laid, they were in the tuatioa of Cherriliwn/tikVi as 4 isplaised tare oftheir fitnations in cafes of thit kind under thei 18th Eliz. c. 3. and under the 6th Geo. U. c. 31.—.1 The father not chilling to he anfwerable Ip ad uncer tain extern for the maintenance of the child, offered a certain fum to be indemnified : the parifh affented to this indemnity. and this, the learned Couplel coo. tended, was a fufficient crmfideration for the note. Mr. Gazvcay, for the Defendant, took the broad, potind of legal policy on which (itch a bargain be. tAcen the putative father and the parifh could not be admitted. The extravagant exceffes of parochial officers at the taSles fupplied by public expense, was a filbjett of notoriety and df general complaint; if theft gamblin g contra& were permitted, it would be the intereft the parifli that the children under its immediate proteaion flrould be negleeed or de ftroyed, and the money that ought to be devoted to rthe fupport of the riling generation might be applied to the indulgence pf gluttony. Lord Eicansoeoucir" I take the contra& to void, upon the principles of public policy. This is an adventure, or (peculation, entered into by per fons, clothed with an important public trua, afford. ing to them a contingent gain upon the trial caeca non of 'their duty. The law is extremely jealous of the mode in which truftees employ their powers, even in matters of private concern ; and no perfon can therefore purchafe an aide, even at public außion, to whkh he is appointed truflee. 'therein& of this nature were permitted, it would be prefeuting a temptation, to negligence, if not to violence. in one of the moft efentia objets of public concern ; I mean the nurture and maintenance of thofe children who are unhappily deprived of their natural protec tors." The other Learned Jndges concurring with his Lordthip. judgment was given for the Defendants. lILITCHIII W. WILKINS. This cafe brought forward the quellion, if die Statute of the 24th Geo. 11. c. 44. require that the copy of a warrant mould be given, before aaion be brought in cafe of replevin. The Attie& was argued on a demurrer, and occupied a confiderable portion of the time o f Court. Alt the great authorities were occafionally confidered, from Fitcherberes No how Bret:isms, tq the yrefent time, and efpecially Mr. Jake Willer' Marin, in his reports on this fubjea. Mr. ABBOT, for the demurrer, commented at great length on the opinion of that Learned Chief Jultice, which, as.it flood, he conceived to be an authority decidedly in his favour. _ _ The Cetanfel for the Defendant refined the argil. meats of Mr. Abbot, and contended, both on the Rattan, and on the cafes, all the falutary effeas of a replevin would be difappointed, if thepth feeion of the ',eh Geo. 11. sere applicable to the cafe of a replevin. Lord ELLINIOKoUGN.—" The fubjell of great confequence, in two points of view ; firft, as it will difappoint the fubjelt of a form of aelion which has been held, and properly fo held, to be extremely be neficial; next, as it will prevent the magiftrate from availing himfelf of a mode of prctalion very ad. vantageous to him in the difcharge of his duties. As there is an evident contradiaion in the authorities conflated with this inquiry, it lc fit the Court fhonld take time to confider the pi iaciples on which they are fupported." I. JOIIIS. • Mr. GI uss moved for a Writ of !ideas Corpus, to bring up the body of J. Jones, who had been fub jetted to the imprefs by an officer of the navy, not becaufe he was a proper objeCt of that fervice, but becaufe he had committed an offence which the offi cer of the imprefs could not eafily excufe. It ap. peered that the Deptford Tender was, to uft the lea phrafe, thrown athwart the hawfe of the brig on board which Jones was the first mate, and it feems this man did not exaelly do what the conduetor of the Deptford expeetA, to relieve him from this mo mentary difficulty ; the officer, therefore, took the law into his own hands, and fubjetted the offender to ao engagement in his Majelty's fervice, contrary to his willies and intered, during the war. This perfon is noticed in an official letter from the Lieu tenant, in which the latter lays, " I thought by fend , ins him to the Nore, it would be better known among perfons in the merchants' fervice, bow fuck men ought to behave in regard to the tenders." Lord ELLIIIIIOROOGH.-.-" Is he liable under the reelationsbf the imprefs ?" Mr. thou.- 4, I cannot fay by law he is not liable, but I truk your Lotdlisipt will think, the law is much better where it is, than if fubmitted to the cootroul of there Officers in the imprefs fer vice." Lord Es.s.ananamrom.--" This h an improper letter, and it may fupply a ground for you to retort with fttccefs elfewhere $ but here we have only to confider, if he be a fit man to be impreired ? As far as I can difcern, every part of the public fervice is difpofed to ihew great deference to what pallet in the Courts, but in this cafe, in the point of law, we cannot interfere." Mr. Jurrica Lawatxcv.—" I underfland the infiruaions to the officers of the imprefs contain an exemption of the fiat mates of (hips of above fifty tons burthen. This is a lenient regulation for the proteaion of trade, not by law required. This man may be fuppofed to have mikondated himfelf fo fir as not to be entitled to fuch indulgence."— Ride rffilid. On Saturday the lath infant, at five minutes pall (even o'clock in the evening, a (mart (hock of that awful phenomenon, an earthquakz, was felt for the (pace of two or three feconds, in the whole of the lower end of the Vale of Clwyd, in Wales, and from the firength of the (hock mull have been perceived M other parts. A few days ago, a foldier belonging to the Cum berland Militia, now in quarters at Beverley, had been out in company with tome ethers of his com rades, in purfuit of a deferter. On his return home, he, in a fit of wantonnefs, prefented his piece dole to the ear of one of his fellow-foldiers, in order to frighten him : but the other, with great fang [eying, Don't put the piece to my ear. I bed ra ther have the bell through my gullet," his comrade accordingly complied, and putting the muzzle into his mouth, (napped the molket, which. however, did not go of. Taking it out of his mouth, he cocked again, and prefeated it upwards i when. at the 6th touch of the trigger, the piece expitilled, sail feat the ball through the goal THE LITE FIRE. Yellerdar morning the men employed in digging the rubbbigh rot the bodies recommenced their la bour, the number of fpedators being as great as the preceding days. About ten o'clock the two bodies not found the evening before were difcovered, the Beth being reduced to a jelly. As the men were put ting one of the bodies into the (hell, the fpeflators were (hocked in beholding a perfeefatur drop from it, which was alto from into the then with its unfortunate mother,- which from this eircumftance proved her to be the wife of Thomas Adams, the coachman, as (he ~ w as in an advanced Rate of pregnancy. Tne !hell, with the bodies, was taken away and placed along with the others in a coach houfe in the oppolite Mews. In clearing away the rubbiOs where the bo dies were found, they afterwards difcovered a leg and arm, a heart, and pieces of heat, which were p t into one of the (hells.

Still few of the Jury could bear to go in where the corpfes were. On their return to the public hoof:, they were neeeffitateg to burn tobacco on the coal (hovel in the centre of the room, to mailer the diCagreeable fmell. When the Jury were all feated, the Coroner defired if there were any perfous prefent who knew any thing of the origin of the fire to come forward. No perfon could 'account how it happened, the firft and only witnefs called was Michael Dunn, who being (worn, Paid, that he was a cow keeper, and refided at No. 9, in Adam-areet, nearly facing Mr. Barr's ; that the watchman called him up that morning about three o'clock, as phial $ but that, it being Sunday, he lay down again after anfwering the watchman. Shortly after, however, ke heard a twice, on which he took off his cap. that he might hear better ; on which he went to the fired door, and faw a light in the kitchen at Mr. Richard Ban's, and a great fmoke coming up the area.
