The Purfcr of a man of war, of the name of John Weft, was charged with an information ii r having defrauded Government of a hut) of money by forging a certificate ; and a perfon, whore name we could not learn, was cbarged.with an indictment for having treated with cruelty, a female appren tice. They both pleaded not guilty, and will be tried at the fittings after term. ♦LLEY V. KEYS. Mr. Gums obtained a Rule for a new trial in this cafe, which was an adion upon an order f.)t the payment of money upon untlamped paper. The older was poll dated; and he contended that by the contiration of the Stamp Ads it ought to have been Ramped.—Rule Ni fl granted. DIACLEWER V. DUGLIN. This was a motion to reduce the vcrdia below the fun' given. The aetion was upon an Irith judgment upon a bond, andthe fum recovered was above the penalty. The Counfel contended, that more could not be recovered than the penalty of the bond, but the verdiet was above that rum. Mr. Gum, in reply, contended that the bond had nothing to do with the queftion; the anion was founded upon the Judgment, and upon that fum they had a right to expea intereft.—Rule Nyi granted. THE KING 4 0. THE JUSTICES OE DURHAM. In this cafe the rule for a mandamus to reftore W..Foßruia to the office of Hydes and Skins in the Town of Sunderland was made abfolute, on the ground that the Juftices had removed him without giving him an opportunity of anfwering the charges brought againft him. THELLIMON V. COPINCER. Mr. ERSKINE, on behalf of the Plaintiff,obferved, that he yefterday expreffed a with that the fecfmd indtament which had been preferred againft Mr. Thelluffon,might be tried before the action brought by him for a malicious profecution. He Paid, he I was not then aware that the indictment was not in that Court; and therefore he moved for a Certiorari. Lord KEN row Paid, it was a very proper cafe for a Certiorari.—Granted. THE KING D. 11.10 H, !SO Mr. ERIE tug had obtained a Rule to file a Cri minal Information againit the Defendant, a near relation of the Earl of Darnley, for fending a challenge to the Noble Lord. This day Mr. Gouts (hewed caufe againfl mak ing the Rule abfolute. He fubmitted, that his Lordthip had ufed expreflions towards Mr. Bligh which, in Come meafure, might account for his in tern rate condo& prejudiced as his mind was by thefe ill-founded exprefiions. He Paid, he had al ways lived in the moll intimate terms of friendfhip with the Noble Earl, and in confequence felt him felf furprifed, and his mind wounded, when his Lordfhip withdrew that confidence he had placed in him, which he did on a ludden, and refufed to affign any juft caufe.—He wrote to his Lordfhip on the fubra, but could not get an anfwer : He then happened to meet Colonel Bligh, alfo a rela tion to the parties, and was told by the Colonel that his Lordthip would give no explanation, but was ready to fight him. From Mr. Howard alto, a friend, he learnt, that his Lordfhip had called t him a fufpicious charafter ' and averred it was Ban 17s for any perfon to be acquainted with him, I:Mg a madman. Mr. Bligh confidering him felf as being greatly injured by thefe afper fi ons of his Lordflop, did, in the moment of irritation, write the letters in queftion, and which, he was convinced, he would not have done in his more found judgment. Mr. Glass Paid, he had no other apology to of fer than this : a different impreffion was made upon Mr. Bligh's mind at the time of writing them, and he hoped their Lordthips would not make the Rule abfolute. LORD KENYON:" What Mr. Gibbs has Rated is by no means an anfwer ; there are reafons why this (hould not be publifhed more than is neccfrary for the ends of juftice. lam clear what has been laid does not go to difcharge the Role." Mr. ERCEINE laid, the defendant had by his condo& proved himfelf no lets criminal than un fortunate. Had be (offered the judgment of the Court to pars againfl him by default, he apprc hended the Court would not have been further troubled upon the cubic& ; but when Lord Darn ley's af fi davit (hied, that he neither had, direily or indirealy, ufed any injurious expreffion towards him, it was too much for him to reit his defence Lupon the denial of what the Noble Lord luld rerted urn oath. The prefent was certainly not the feafon for mercy, when the affidavit in anfwer to the charge was of itfelf a libel. He was well affured no man had ever concluded himfell with more regard to what was due to the honour of him felf and his illuftrious family than the Noble Lord had done. LORD KENYON." The Court can only confider this as a queflion between A. and B.—We fit hers to determine judicially, without refpeß to perfons. l am not unacquainted with the Tamil f or eh:vitae:- of Lord Darnley; but thole are confederations I do not prefs into the fubjefl. The Rule mutt be made abfolute." Accordingly the Rule for the criminal informa tion was made abfolute. HOLLOWAY qui lam, &C. V. WHALEY, E 5 0 .... This was an application to fet afide the proceed. ings for irregularity in an action for the penalty in. curred by a violation of the at to prevent gaming. The irregularity upon which the rule had been ob tained was, that the defendant had never been ferved with procefs. Mr. Garteow (hewed caufe againd the rule; which, he laid, was an attempt to pervert judice, of a fimilar nature to many others, with the confi. dcration of which the attenthn of the Court had of late been occupied. Not long fince a cafe had occurred of a like motion on the part of a Lady, who, when the perfon came to her houfe to ferve her with procefs, called out toiler fervant that the was not at home; which declaration having been overheard, the letter, containing the copy of the writ, was left with the fervent, and afterwards denied having been received by the miflrefs.—ln the prefent cafe, the letter with the procefs had been delivered to the defendant's fervant, after Ile had dated that he was at home.—Mr. Garrow was proceeding, when lie was interrupted by the Attorney• General, who dated fob:l.:quern irregu larities in the caufe, which he raid had been decided to be fufficient grounds for letting afide proceed. ings.—The Court was of Opinion they Mould be let afide, and the only queftion then was with re. gard to the cods. Lord KFNYON.—" The rule is nearly univerfal that colts than be given when proceedings are fet afide for irregularity ; and I do not fee how we can forbear giving cods as far as refpeds the irre gularity." Mr. Gaitßow laid, he (hould more fur a crimi nal information againft the defendant, and give him an opportunity of denying, upon his oath, what had been dated by the perfon who had ferved the notice. The Arroavry CFNEIAL intimated that his learned friend was rather too fevere upon the de fendant; he was at lead entitled to as much refpea as the pure and immaculate Mr. Holloway. _ . The'Rule was made abfolute with coils. The following Song in the Bfind Girl, by IN. cLi.non, feemed to have every aid upon the Audience, which either the Writer, the Compofer, or the Singer, could have erpeded. The Brides Tar no peril knows, But, fearlefs, braves the angry deep; The thip's his cradle of repofe, And (weedy rocks him to his Deep.

Friday night !aft, the farm-houte of Mr. TR VF. M AN, at hfarfton, near Frame, was deftroved by fire. Friday morning an affray happened among fume perfons in Acorn-alley, Bilhopfgate-ftrect. which is faid to have originated in a difpute concernir.g lottery tranfaftions ; when a wo/An fnached op a knife which lay on the table, and wounded on: of I I the men therewith in Inch a manner, that although a furgeon was immediately fent for, no hopes were entertained of his recovery. Monday !aft, one of the Briftol Stages, convey. ing a part of the Bath Company of Comedians to that City, was unfortunately overturned en a level part of the road near Tiverton, by which the left leg of Mr. GILA SSINGTON, the Prompter, was broken; the Iboulder of Mr, Swirls," the tree. furer, difiocated ; and Mrs. TAYLOR and Mill Sum/eels very feverely cut and bruited. We are happy, however, to fay, they are all in a fair way of recovery. The accident was fillely occafioned by the unpardonable cu.:la/sets of the driver. ~~ • i 1
