It is one of the many fine productions of this nature from the fchool of the late Mr. GIRTON, near Birmingham. The health of Sir rRAN" Cls Buanavr is completely reftored. He is daily ex-peeled to return to town. The following extracrdinary incident occurred at Aylesford a few days a„an : as Mrs. Taylor, of that Oace. was fitting in the llreet near her houfe, fire was fusldenly furrnunded by a (warm of bees, that had efcaped from a neighbouring hive, and the little bufy affemblage fettled upon her. Mrs. Taylor, no doubt, embarraiTed at fuch an unexpected hoft of vifitants, had the precaution not to refill their familiarity, but to wait With patience their being hived, which was performed without any injury happening to her, other than a fling upon the wrift. Sotne days ago we mentioned the arreft of a perfon in Whitflable. The following are fome particulars I relative to the affair :—Mr. Sanders brought the per fon and his parcels to the town in his waggon; a parcel was left behind; and Mr. Sanders, feeing the name of Hall on it, delivered it to Mr. Hall, the Mailer of the Cuftom Houfe-boat, who, on examin ing it, found it contained newfpapers and letters di rated to the French coaft. He confulted with Mr. Baldock, the other Revenue Officer Rationed there ; and they very properly determined on detaining the paffenger—whom they found at the Bear and Key public-houfe ; from whence, in the candy of a con ftable, they removed him to Mr. Baldock's honfe, where he took the opportunity of throwing away his pocket book, which" was found the morning after be had departed kir town by Mrs. Baldock, who fent it after him ; and on Saturday morning Mr. Sanders and his fon were arrefted and brought to London. BLACRSVALL CANAL.—An unlucky accident hap pened at this place yelierday, which• might have been productive of great calamity, but happily no lives were loft. The cue from Blackwall to Liinehoufe, intended to carry velfels directly through, without go ing round by Greenwich, had been nearly finifhed, and was to have Iste,h opened with great pomp on the tath of Augult next.—Yeflerday forenoon, about twelve o'clock, being near high tide, while a nutnber of people were at work at the extremity next thc Ri ver. they were fuddenly alarmed by a noife, and the appearance of water entering from below.— Scarcely had they time to make a precipitate retreat, when the outward dam bull with aflonifhing vio lence, and what a minute before was dry land, was inftattly covered with twelve feet of water : the fe cond dam, about so yards farther on, compored of logs of wood, twelve inches thick, befides a ftrong di agonal log, by way of bar, was in like manner forced by the current ; and this amazing bong bar fnapped in two, as if it had been a piece of lath. The Canal was immediately tilled, at far as the fecond Rood ?ate next to Limehoufe, which being flan, happily refilled the force of the current. Confiderable injury has been dcne to the banking and mafon work at the ex tremity, as well as at the firft lock, great part of the abutments on each fide having been carried away. CORONER'S Itozyarr.--George Hodgfon, Ef.;. one of the Coroners fot the County of Middlefez, ytfler day evening at feven o'clock, returned his Court of Inquiry into the caufe of the death of _Michael Lennn who expired, after lighting .a pitched battle for half: a-guinea, with Dennis Dillon. The Court was again held at the Cannon tavern, the corner of Car burton.fireet, Portland.road. The evidence of yet- ' terday was repeated to the Jury, and in addition to it they had the tellimony of Mr. Charles Lane, of Carburtonßreet, furgeon, who examined the body ' of the deceafed in company with Mr. Reeve. of ' Great Portland-ftreer, furgeon. The fubllance of his evidence was, that they had been employed about three hours in the examination, and that, upon the mug minute obiervation that could poffibly be made 1 it did not appear that there was any injury done to the vifcera or the thorax, neither WAS there any ex travafated blood within the head, fuch as would have ' been the cafe if a blood veftel had burft. Upon the whole, he conceived that the lofs of life mutt have been occafioned by fome injury done to the nervous fyllem, or elfe by a violent concuffion of the brain, which might have arifen either from great exertion of palm or from repeated heavy falls, in whichcafes there might not be any mark upon the fubjed from which a profeftional man could form a decided opi nion. Blli, from the evidence which he had heard of the fight, which was fworn to have taken place, ht had no doubt that it was from tome circumltance that had taken place during that affray that the de ceafed came by his death._ _ The Coroner repeated his admonitions to parilh officers in general, to provide a furgeon in filch cafes as the preterit, but added, that it did not appear to him that in the intlance then before the Jury, there appeared to have been any thing of culpability in the officers. He then acquainted the Jury, that in his opinion where there was a premeditated defign be tween the parties to commit a breach of the peace, and where that violation of law terminated fatally to one of them, with the additional confideration that it was a prize fight, in which each had money as an inducement to do an injury to the other t in fuch cafe he thought the ad of the one man who killed the other, was clearly murder. If they thought other. wife, however, they would fay fo. But of this the Jury had not the lea doubt, and immediately gave a verditit of—Wilful Murder, by Dennis Dillon.

G Mr. ARROW Rated this to be an attion upon a bill of exchange for 60061. svith interelt, drawn by one of the firm of the hoofe of the Dectndacts. Some difficulties occurred in this cafe on account of its wanting the proper (tamp. being only two 'Wings, whereas the !aft Ad of Parliament on that fnbjed required two thillings and eiglitpence: but Plaintiffs' cafe was faid to be capable of being fu,p potted on the money counts, independent of the bill of exchange, but it was agreed, that the whole matter be referred to an arbitrator, is ho was to take the ac counts as they flood between the patties, as if no ob jedian.had been made to the !tamp, dc.—Verdid for Plaintiff—Damages to,oool. fubjed to an /*Wan,. LEICKFIFLD y. ARGELANDER. This was an action brought by the Captain of a fhip which conveyed a cargo of Timber from Memel to Liverpool, fur demurrage for 24 days, at the rate of 51. per day. The charter party covenanted that the cargo lhould be landed at Liverpool, free of ex.; pence, in twenty running days, and gave a demur-. rage of 51. per day for every after day which the vellel might be detained. The Defendant alledged, that the Plaintiff having refolved to reinain at I.iverpool during the winter. had agreed to keep the Defendant's timber on board his veffel till he fhould require it. He alfo (hewed that the Plaintiff hid been fo confcious of the exit• tence of an underfianding to this effedt, that at one' time he had been ready to accept of acd. in lien of his prefent claim. No agreement to this effelf, farther than the offer to accept of the 201. on refufal of which the Plaintiff reverted to his legal demand, being proved—the Jury found for the Plaintiff, agreeably to the provifo in the Charter Party.—Damages toll. making with 151. paid into Court, the whole fum claimed of r so'. J. C. CROSS, MEI, AND ANOTHER, V. SMITH •ND „ MI./\T. This atlion was brought on a bond of wool. asinit the Defendants, who are executors of John Grierfon. The Defendant Smith pleaded, that he had adminifiered all the effefts prior to the notice of loch bond ; the Defendant Munt pleaded that he did receive affets to the amount of 4781.; that he wafted this property, that he became bankrupt, and obtain ed his certificate. The SOLICITOR GENERAL admitted the bank reptcy and certificate of Munt, and obferved, that the whole queltion would depend upon the due or undue adminifiration of Smith. This perfon had received the money which had paired into the hand% of his co-executor Munt, and had delivered it over to the latter. It was determined, that if two cams lots give a receipt, and one only receives the money, the one not receiving it is not anfwerable to legatees, but he is refponfible to creditors. In the zd Brown's Chancery Reports, the cafe was flared of Sadler v. Hobbs, which (hewed, that if one executor put the money into the hands of the other, the one, fo re pofing confidence o had It lb his power to fecure the effeels, and was thus rendered liable. Mr. GARROW, for the Defendant, CAW, lie had no objeflion to fubmit the cafe to the conlideration of the Court in the enfuing term. Churchill v. Lady Hob- Gm, in Ifl Peere Williams, 24r, was, however, di• reelly oppofed to the law Rated by his Learned Friend. Goodwin and Churchill were co-executors of Sir Charles flobfon. A fum of cool. from the effefts of the eflate, was paid into the hands of Good win, who was a principal banker in high credit, and for the amount a joint receipt was given by Churchill l and Goodwin. Goodwin failed, and the money was loft.; and the queftion was, if Churchill w e re r;:- ' fponfible? It was held, that the teftator had placed I confidence in Goodwin in his life-time; that, after his death, he made this perfon executor ; and that Churchill, who had repofed the fame Confidence in Goodwin, was not liable. It was affented to by the Counfel on both fides, that a cafe with thefe, and force other collateral fafts, fhould be fobtnitted to the Learned Judges of the Court ; and for this purpofe, a Verdiet was en tered for the Defendant Munt, and for the Plaintiff, againft the Defendant Smith, Tubjee to the deternai. Ination of the Court, on the cafe to be.prepared. HARRISON ANDOROSS d. CHARLIS AND JOHN MILWARD. The Plaintiffs are Merchants, the Defendants are whnfe works were eflablifhed at Bromley near Bow, and which were deftrored in April laft by fire. This action was brought on a contra& for Soo lacks of wheat meal, and 7o lacks of middlings, for which two bills were given, the one nn the toth of December, for tap'. the other on the 24th of the fame month for 4441. Mr. GARROW Paid, that this corn was to be deli vered on board, free of expence, in the River ; that the Defendants had long (ince received the full pay ment in anticipation, and after they had got the mo ney in their pockets, he underflood the defence was to be, that the corn of the.Plaintiffi waa burnt, and that in confequence, they were to receive no effects for their bills. It feemed only neceffary to (hew, that the money was paid, to recover the amount from the Defendants. After the witneff.s were called, The Swamp' GIN UAL fail, that this was a cafe of great importance, and of tome Angularity. The bills were drawn by the Defendants upon the Plain. tiffs, were accepted by the latter, and on the face r the bills gas written For value received in meal." It would be proved, that the Defendants did fet apart the exalt quantity of corn (hied in the con traft, and that at to remained until the moment af the fire, when the whole was confumed. The wit neffes having Withdrawn, Lord ELLIIIIBOROUGH faid, " The Defendants al,. pear to have dealt with the quantity alledged to be fet apart for the pnrpofe of this contraa, jail as if it was their nun. It is the moll unlike an afirittios of any thing I have ever seen, and is jun enough to inform us, that fomething was done towards the con trail. I hope this will be a warning to Gentlemen not to pay their money beforehand, for in (*Lich a cafe contrafts are generally very ill executed. The eontraa, in this intlance, is not performed, and the quellion is, therefore, as to the amount of the da mages. The Plaintiffs demanded the pet formance in the manth of May, and the proper mncie of efiim 1. tion is probably by the value of the fubjea matter cf the contraa at that period. I think interell might if, be charged on the Defendants from that time, ani this intetelt may be calculated up to the loth of No vember next, when the Plaintiffs will be entitled to execution. Perhaps the price, at the time adverted to, was fifty-four (billings. Gentlemen of the Jury, you are perfealy competent to form an accurate judgment on the fubjeCt, and I have no doubt you will do iußice between the parties."—Verdia for the Plaintiffs, 15371. los. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY $4. THOS. WIST AND OtiVIA NIS WIFE O. J. MORGAN. The Plaintiff is the Stockton carrier. The Defen dant is a Cheefemonger in Bilhopfgate-fireet. This was an aCtion for alfault and battery. Mr. Serjeant Bsrr, for the Plaintiff, faid, that this was a barbarous and cowardly atrault committed by a man on a helplefs female. The Plaintiff, in the courfe of his Winds, had unfortunately placed his cart appofite the door of the Defendant, after which he proceeded to a neighbouring honfe, to procure fome parcels for conveyance, leaving his wife in the care of the cart. During his abfence, the Defendant drove up in his gig, accompanied by a young Lady. The latter did not condefcend to fignify his approach, but leaping from his gay vehicle, Rruck the horfe of the Plaintiff, which was impatient of the Mows, and ran away. At this intlant the Plaintiff arrived, and luckily by his agility prevented any deftrueive ac. dident. He humbly remonftrated with the Defen dant, who anfwered him by a revere flagellation.— This, however, was nct the fubjee of the attion, as the Plaintiff was able and willing to return the com pliment. While the parties were in this fituation, the wife of the Plaintiff could not be wholly indifferent, and ventured to interpofe, upon which this recreant knight prefnmed to (hike her avith his lath, and, not contented with applying this chattifement, he reverfed his weapon, and levelled at her many violent blows, aids the but end of the whip. The injury the woman Inftained by this *Rink, occalioned her confinement for a fortnight to her bed, and the Learned Counfel hoped for the future the'Defendant would learn to moderate his paßinns, and that the verdict of the Jury would be effentlally conducive to this beneficial ef fete. Two witneffes having eßablifbed the faits, Mr. Serjeant &MURAL/ ' for the Defendsmt, per. fatly concurred in the refpe CI and veneration which was at aU times due to the fair fez, but when a fia+ male ventured to deviate from the natural mildneti of her character, and the exquifite delicacy of her manners, and aimed the attitude of a bruifer, the awful reverence file infpired was necelfarily dimith ed. In the prefent itillance, this modeft, quiet, and decent young wotnan, abandoned the fphere of her duty in a carrier's cart. and !looped to the inde. counts deportment of a Bilingfgate. The faits, Ilrirned of the embellithments which the ingenuity of his Learned Brother had fupplied, were fimply theft. On the arrival of the Defendant near his own door, he found he was precluded from accefs by the , cart of the Plaintiff. He called out, that the obßruc. tion might be removed, but no reply was given. In this &nation, he nccafioned the horfe of the Plain tiff to advance a few yards, which fo enraged thejcvn• man, that the firuek at him with her whip, and when be fought refuge in his own &op, he was purfued her, not only with clamour, but with ilows. Self defence induced the Defendant to raife his whip, the lath of which he very ineffeetually applied when re• fißed by her raintent. It was true, that under there citcurnßances ' he ufed the more matfive put, and by this alone he was able to intimidate her fo as to prevent further difturbance and injury. The Learn ed Counfel added, that as no jullification was entered on the record, a verdict mutt be found for the Plain tiff ; but in a cafe of this kind, he trailed merely no minal damagec would be given. After a ',tort addrefs from his Lordthip, the Jury, in a few minutes, returned--A verdie for the Plain tiff, damages 201. SAGGLIHOLIC O. FALKNOR. This was an avian to recover damages for defame• tory words fpoken to injure the Plaintiff's credit and reputation. The Plaintiff is a corn faaor refiding in Hark-lane, and the Defendant a dealer in the fame commodity at Farnham, in Surrey. In Septem• ber laft a converfation began between the Defendant and a perfon named Adfield, at the Red Lion Inn, in that town, when Adfield, who is alfo a corn dealer. obferved, that the Plaintiff was dating away at Brighton with gold rings on his fingers, and a livery fervant behind him,on which the Defendant Paid there were many in the Corn-market that would not truft the Plaintiff aol. and that he was a man of no cre dit. Adfield then Paid he had a very bad opinion of him, for the Plaintiff had done him out of aol. fee malt which he had received fir fale ; that he had alio cheated his (Adfield's) father out of the like fum, and it was no wonder he lost his cuflomers : there were other perfons pteient at this converfation, but neither of them took any pact in it. Severe/ witneffes proved that the Plaintiff was a very refpec. table corn faßor, and that he bad carried on an ex. tenfivc bufinefs for three years ; during which Eis credit had not been impeached, it was therefore con. tended, that the words fpoken were of the molt inju• riou, tendency. and required amr:e damages. No material injury, however, appeared to have refulted from the defamation; the words alluded to, proved it) be the effect. f a common pUblic houfe converfa• tion, wherein the Defendant had not entered thss worft report, and the Jury found a vcrdia for t h e Plain iff, with one penny damages. 1
