This plat is called joreph's Well, taken from a Grand wise, about aoo.years ago, had the care of the work under Su crate MAI4O/4IT. In the town of Northampton, a negro, named Manatce; aged'a_ . years, began about fevers years ago to lore his native colour. A white fpot appeared on the right fide of his belly, which is now about as large as theipalnis of two hands. Anqfher white fpot:has appeared on his breally, and fovetal more on his arms and other ;lam, and thefable cloud is plainly dirappearing on his fhoulder. The change is not to the dead white of the Albinos, but to the good who:efome carnation hue. On Tiiefday fe'nnight, at Braneepeth, two bats were accidentally caught-in the hollow of an anci ent Oak; and being brought into the cattle as a curiofity, were put under a glafs-cafe for an hour or two; when one of them was delivered of a young one, which immediately on its birth ap peared very waive, and clang to the mother's breaft, where it teemed to continue as if in the as of fucking. This incident proves beyond a doubt that the bat is not oviparous as has been fome times thought; and though it flies as a bird, it has been properly ranked by naturalifts among the ties of quadrupeds. The partridges this year are uncommonly nu merous and forward. - A net of the blackbird fpecie , -, with four young b:rds, was lateryCoken in the vale of Blaclunore ; they are nowt a high Rare of plumage, two of ehim black, 4.3 two perfeltly white.

Warter and Sir Harry each won one of the two firft heats, after which the third borfe that ran was drawn, and the two former were left to decide the prize between themselves. The jockies both were linguine of wiiningeand thought it would be the belt for the horfe k to walk the firft three miles and three quar ters of the courfe, and make a burft for the laft quarter of a mile. This they did, and the ftruggle was ardent and equal. They came in fo clolely together, that the rider of Warter thought he had won, and raid, he could have won, had he known there was occalion to be more forward. This gave rife to fome.difpute, which ended in the match at Brighton. On the 6th ult. Tome Sportfmen belonging to Nievre, France, killed a furious wolf of an uncom mon flee and ftrength.

BEFORE SIR WILLIAM WYNNE. CRIM. CON. This teas a fuit indituted by Ann Kirby againft Francis Kirby, Efq. her hufband, for a reftitution of conju ;al rights. The Defendant pleaded, that his wife had been guilty of adultery ; and the wife retorted the accufation. The cafe was altopper of a very uncommon complexion ; but as it was not finally determined, we (hall not enter fo fully into the detail of it, as otherwile we thould have done. It appeared the parties had raided formerly at a place called Wintcrbrook, from whence Mrs. Kirby had eloped, in confequence, as the inferred in her allegations, of the Defendant's conduct to 1 wards her. After a confiderable abfence, the com menced there proceedings, to compel her hufband to cohabit with her. To repel her fuit, he charged her with ads of adultery with a perfon of the name of Bonchee ; and alto, with a Mr. Froin ; and Wi ly, with a Captain Matter. With relped to the latter, it was alledged, that the Captain ufed to come down to his houfe in his abfence, and pre tending before the fervants that he was fud&nly taken ill, would regneft leave to retire today down; that the Lady, pitying his Rate, would defire the bed to be got ready for him, and then attend him herfelf, with fame warm tettorative ; that the was generally a very confiderable period ufing her be nevolent endeavours to foothe and confole him, and that upon fuch occafions the bed afterwards exhibited marks of diforder not altogether ittflify ing the idea of a tingle perfon in a weak Rate of body having lain in u; that, after her Samaritan difpofition had been exercifed for two or three hours, and the had poured the oil of afiedion into the Captain's wounded foul, he generally rofe fie& as the vernal morn. The Captain was fo often tick, fo often put to bed, and fo often attended by his fair Hygeia, that the fufpicion of the hufband was arotifed, and he pretended to have had con firmation of his dilhonour Prong as holy writ.— Thus tar the hufb.ind's allegation. The Madona alledged. that, prior to her nuptials, her hutband was enamoured of a young Son/Irma named Sarah Parfons, then in her fervice ; that the difmiffed Sa rah as a matter of courfe ;, but that her hutband, after the honey-moon was paffed, frequently figh ed for and lamented the lots of his tweet Sally Par lous ; lamented fhe had been turned away ; fought htr, found her, and placed her as an apprentice to a mantra-maker at Reading, frequently vifited anti went out with her, and took efpecial care that ' her time fhould not be altogether paired in mantua making. There were a variety of allegations, con taining other chargesof incontinence and infidelity. Sir WILLIAM Wywse fioke at great length up-, on the probable effect of there crofs allegations, fuppofing they Were reciprocally proved ; but not conceiving that to have been the cafe, he directed a further inquiry, and poßponed the bufinefs, for future conTideration. COURT OF KING's BENCH. JULYS !'REEDY V. MILLS. . This was an aetfon to recover 111. being the balance of accounts due to the Plaintiff from the Defendant for lodging, taken by a woman who affefted to be the Defendant's wife, with whom the Defendant cohabited, and whore name (he had borne there and elfewbere. She reprefented die Defendant to be her hulband, to be a Banker's Clerk, who was fo forward in the honfe, as to be about to be taken into partnerlhip. The lodging being let to her, the Defendant frequently camc there to Seep, paid fume money for the lodging, and they paffed for hufband and wife, &c. ; and there was now remaining the ft= of i tl. z9s. due from the Defendant to the Plaintiff. The defence was, that the woman who paffed for Mrs. Mills was a woman of the town, and who lived on the wages of proftitution. That the took thefe lodgings for the purpofe of carrying on her prance as a woman of promifcuous intereourfe, and was vifited by different Gentlemen,and among the relt the Defendant, who bad no•v had the dif. cretion to put an end to his intimacy with her ; and that the Plaintiff knew all thefe things, and that his houfe, being one of notorious ill.fame, the whole of which was let out to unfortunate profti. Lutes, &c. ; therefore he could not recover in this aaion. 1111 Lord Kenyon faid,that the foundation on which e had held that an aftion would not lie for rent of lodging in a houfe of illfame, vas this :—That Where. an unfortunate girl took lo4ngs in a houfe for the purpofe of leading a life Of, proflitutiola ; who had viably no other means of livelihood, and where her taking fuch lodgings might he an in ducement for her to enter into it, and where this was known to the perfon letting fu ch lodgings, and whin fueh perfon was paid out of the wages of filch prollitution—in fuch cafe, he faid, no.aEtion could be mamtained.• 6 , But if (faid his Lordthip) I was to fay and decide, that if parties live together hra Rate of 7 dultery, or of proftitution, no action would lie againil them for their lodgings, I know not how deeply I fhould cut. To what great houfes, or even high fquares, I fbould not go, I cannot tell.—Here the parties lived together, it is faid, as hulband and wife, and therefore I can hardly fee any Rate of things in which the Defendant fhould not pay to the Plaintiff whatever may appear to be due on the balance of thiir accounts.' It was proved that the lodgings were taken by a woman who paired as the Defendant's wife, and that fhe had paffed by his name, and that by his confent, for louse time previous to his going to this book. That at this houfe he had often Rept with her, &c. A perfon of the name of Elford, who had thus paired tea Mrs- Mills, the Defendant's wile, was called to prove that the was not in, and in !bort to , prove the Defendant's cafe as it had been infiiled upon, and of which we have Rated - the fubßance ; but Lord Kanyos faid, that if this on urfe was per filled in, the confequences would be, that his name, , circumilances, and connedion would be expofed, and many inconreniencies would follow, of which ' k woffd be not swill es )ndge a little. Taltiog the whole cafe together, Ins Lord fhip thought it the bell thing this Defendant could do, to pay this mo ney without any furthef invelliption into thittniCA nefs.—Verdiel for the Plaintiff—. Damages t il. tsrs. Mr. GARROM faid,that this direetion of his Lord adopted fo preperly by the Jury, and ace quiefccd in by the Defendant, was the fiabltanee of the advice be gave him long ago. IROCRISOP V. HERBOILL The Plaintiff according to Mr. hts‘ctOs b ;ng, is a Cornfa&or, and the Defendant a Milltre This :talon was brought againft the Defendant to recover back 571.45. for which the Plaintiff had by midake given him credit. This was done in the hurry of bufinefs at Mark.la , :e. After Mr. M:MGAN , had made out the Plaintiff's cafe, Mr. MARMOT, on the part of the Defendant, obfctved, that his client could neither read nor wiitc, and that he oecaftonally employed a School• mailer to write letters for him, for each of which he gave him ad. He hoped to be able to thew that his client had adually paid this money, and that the Plaintiff had given him credit for no MOM than that to which he was jullly entitled. . The School•ma(ler was called, but totallyfailed in making out the defence. Under the direetione of the Nu ble and Lsarned Judge, who applied prong language to the con. dusl of the Defendant, the Jury found a verdia for Plaintiff for 571. 4s. DORAN V. IRANI AND CO. • The Plaintiff who is owner of the fhip Margaret, in the bah trade, brought his anion to recover dca murrage for a certain number of days, at Five Guineas per day. The Defendants had contra& ed to freight the fhip within fourteen days, from the toth of January ; the loading was not com pleted till the 6th of March. The Defendant en. deavoured to prove, that the neglett was folely owing to the Plaintiff's conduit, in not receiving certain fugars ; this the Plaintiff accounted for, by Rating, that there was no room to Row the fugars. The Defendants then infilied, that a fraud was endeavoured to be pratßifed, by making an crafure in the regifter certificate of the fhip. by (hiking out the word 4 , Foreign," and in its Read fubßituting Britifh built." The negligence, however ' 'was clearly proved to have originated with the Defendants, and the Jury found a verdia for the Plaintiff, for 1571. los. being an allowance for thirty days, at Fi%e Guineas per day. COOK V. This was an a.Hon brought on a Bill of Et change, which was fiat dated the 9th of Decetn- ' ber, and afterwards that date was altered, and it was dated the 13th of the fame month. It ap- pcared in evidence that the drawers Creed and Mofs, wanted to raife money upon it. and for that purpofe procured faveral indorfements to be pt .t upon it before the date was altered from the 9th to the 13th of December. Mr. EtSIIME, on the part of the Defendant, laid his defence was, that when the date of this Bill was altered, it ought to have had a new (lamp, and as it bad at t, it was a fraud upon Ll* Revenue. Mr. Guess contended on the other fide, that the Bill was not a perk& Bill, and bad not gone into the world before the date WAS changed ; and that they had no interell in altering the date. Lord KF it yam was of a different opinion. T. confider it in no higher point of view than the Ray venue Laws, the Bill was bad. as it had not a new Ramp. If two or three people were hanged for . this offence it would be ofgreat fervice to the pub.. lie. We eat and drank, and lived fo much in this country upon paper credit, that it would be very well if the law were put in force, as it would be the means of promulgating it on the fubje& ft was meddling with edged tools, and it would be very well if they were cautioned in this event by the gallows.—Plaintiff nonfuited. cuarrsas V.

Mr. Eames opened this cafe on the part of the Plaintiff. It apiieated this Bill was drawn in Ire land, and accepted by a Mr. Halliday, payable at 'the houfe of Mr. Cartenin Croiby-fquare. When the bill became due, it was prefented for payment by Mr. William Newton, a Notary Public, when the anfwer given him was—Ne #Bs. He noted the Bill, and returned it to the Houfe of - Martin. Stone an 4 Foot, from whom he had it. When it was prefented to the 'Defendants they refufed to pay, becaufe there was no protelt. But Mr. New ton, the Public Notary, laid, if the Defendants had paid the Bill, he would have drawn up a pro telt to hare enabled thern.to recover from the next indorfers. • Mr. ATTORXIT GINIRAL, on the part of the Defendant, contended, that in a foreign MU of Exchange a protefi was the only legal demand, and humbly fubmitted that the only notice in the cafe of a foreign Bill of Exchange was a ptotj. That was the only thing to which the patty on whom the demand was made had any occafion to advert. Mr. Glass, on the fame fide, obferved, that the declaration always Rated, and mull Rate, that the Bill was prefented for payment; that payment was refufedi and that it was protefted ; of all which the Defendant had notice. This was necsfary to be Rated, previous to Rating that he undertooh so pay. Lord Kosvon." I will you would make a cafe of it.
