Lima Co Arr.—The amufement of Raffling has been fufpcnded, if not entirely fuppteffed, at the different watering-places, in conrequence of the following fitteepbt: a:rule contained in this AEI: 4 1 Bc it enaded, that from and after the firff day of July, 1802, no ptrfon or perfons whatever thall publicly or privately keep any office or place, to exercife, keep open (how, expofe to be played, drawn, or thrown at, or in, either by eke, lots, cards, or balls, or by numbers or figures, or by any other way, contrivance, or device whatfoever, any game or Lottery called a Little Go, of any other tottery whatfoever, not authorifed by Parlia ment ; or thall knowingly fufFer to be exercifed, kept open, (hewn, or espofed to be played, drawn, or thrown, at or in, either by thee, lots, cards, balls, or by numbers or figures, or by any other way, contrivance, or device whatfoever, in his or her houfe, room, or place, upon pain of.forfeiting for every fuch offence the fum of lye hundred pound:." The claufe in the Police Aft, which empowers Magi flrates to apprehend reputed thieves, was very materially amended last Serlions, by inferting the form of conviOion, and enaaing at the ftme time, that the convklion fhould not be fet afide or quash. ed on account of mere verbal inaccuracy. This necelfary revifion will prevent many notorious thieves from evading the punifhment due to their crimes: Tuefday fe'nnight a trial of fome importance to owners of fmacks, Occ. came on in the Court of Exchequer. The cafe was, that in the month of December laR, Capt. G. Sricsi, of the Roebuck cutter, of Portfmouth, feized the BIoIrom,EDWARD S-romr mailer, for not having been rigged ac cording to law, viz. not having a fixed (lay; when upon a full invefligation, and Capt. ST►tes hav ing in a very clear and comprehenfive evidence pointed out the method of rigging laid down by the aft, and the method in which the Blofrom was rigged, the Court were fully of opinion that the was liable to forfeiture, and condemned her ac cordingly. • Captain STILES has taken and fent into Portf mouth the Fox lugger, of Seaton, laden with too calks of fpirits.

HE rerroans HRlE—Writ of Empliry before the Sheriff.—On Monlty laR a writ of enquiry of da mages was executed before the Under Sheriff, at Hertford, in an action wherein Henry Browne, of North !Arnim, Efq. was Plaintiff, and Thomas Greenwood, the younger, was Defendant. The action was brought for a trefpafs committed by the Defendant, in !hooting game within the free war ren belonging to the Plaintiff, who is Lord of the Manor of North Mymms, and entitled to free warren throughout the whole of the manor. It appeared that the land on which the trefpafs was committed, and the game killed by the Defendant, was not in ;point of tad the land of the Plaintiff, but on the contrary belonged to Juilinian Cara :major, Dip ; however, as it was proved to be within - the Manor of North Mymms, and the right of free warren extending over the whole of the manor, the Jury, after fully confidering the cit.- cumftances of the cafe, and the Defendant's con dud, who perfificd in (hooting after being warn ed to the contrary, gave a verdid of col. which the Defendant has to pay, together with the whole Abaaelus.- LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PI.F.IS, JULY 21. LOUP V. itooi.S. The Plainti:r was originally frzo Afric4, of a black colour, hut palling from that tiar7er ni the globe to America, he there puttiled the Lent of that difpofition his name imported, and gamed his livelihood by traverfing the woods an d v of that immenfe Continent, catching deer, kid, ducks, cranes, or any other prey that fell in his way. It happened, that in the courfe of his pre datory wanderings he caught a deer of moll un common form and nature—it was unlike any other of the known freies of that animal ; it was. in fhort, a non-defeript. Soon after he furprized certain convocation of docks, and made lcveral of them captives, thele alfo differed from the ordi nary race of ducks. He hest had the good for tune to feize a crane by the leg before it had time to fpread its wings. This he feafled upon, hut preferved its feathers which were of great •vaine. He then embarked with his freight on board a veffel bound for England, which he knew was the hell market fin. all manner of exotic rarities. Scar Ce was the veirel n,owed is the river Thames, when tidings reached the Defendant of its arrival. The Defelidant, every one knows, is the proprietor of an eNtentive and curious menagerie, at the top of the Hay market. Anticipating Mr. Pidcock, he haftened on board the fhip and bargained with the Plaintiff for the deer, the ducks, and the crane's feathers ; for the latter he agreed to allow at the rate'of two guineas and an half per ounce, for the ducks he paid ready money, and the deer he took to his menagerie for tale. He fagacioufly remarked to the .Plaintiff, that as the deer was a male it could not propagate any of its kind with out a female, and contequently that its value was • infinitely below what it would h:tve been, had it been accompanied by a female deer. Unfortu nately loon after it was in his Folfellion, it died, I I and he refukci to make the • Plaintiff any recom pence for it. The Plaintiff therefore bronglit this au ion to recover the value of the deer, and the fum due to him for the feathers, which he alledged Weighed four ounces. The witnefs called on the part of the Plaintiff, was a waterman of the name of Jones, who was preterit at the comtraa ; he proved the hargain as to the feathers, but confirmed the defence as to the deer, that it was delivered on flde only, and not ablbliitely fold to the Defendant. The De fendant intifted that his having paid for the ducks at the time he bought them, was prefumptive twit dcnce of his having alfo paid for the feathers, but as he had no receipt to produce, and as -the wit nefs politively (fated they were not paid for when they were taken away•by the Defendant, the Jut y gave% Verdia for the Plaintiff with ten guineas daniages. ' PROSSER r. COOPF Mr.lerjeant BAILEY hated this care with a con fiderable degree of humour. It *as an adion, he fail, to recover the fum of tool. which the Plain tiff had paid to the Defendant. He was happy in the opportunity afforded him of laying before the Jury fetch a cafe as this was, becaufe if it fhould be communicated to the public, it would prove that many of thole golden promifes conveyed through the medium of printed advertilements and propofals, and the great advantages to be derived from them, were frequently, if not gene rally, delufive and fallacious. The defendant, Mr. Charles Cooper, was a barrifler, whofe refl. dence was at Norwich, in the county of Norfolk. He was a man who paffed his time either at what was called hide-and.feek, or in the caftle of Nor wich ; the Jury would not underhand him to mean, that Norwich Cattle was part of the domain of a wealthy Baron, as the terns feemed to imply ; on the contrary, it was a certain place of durance, nfually denominated a prifhn. In the year 1789, being dreadfully afilided with that difeafe which arises from ah inanition of the purfe, he imagined a fcheme to raife Come money. He opened a new Tontine, the propofal for which Rated, that no projed was ever farmed on principles of purer in tegrity, or any plan deviled in which equal fecu rity and advantages were given to the fubfcribers ; he fhould have laid, that no plan was ever deviled which gave greater advantages to himfelf, Charles Cooper. The (hares were neceffarily limited to 250, the law not admitting of a larger number, at tool. each. On New Year's day 1808, the fub fcribers were to have to,oool. and from that pe riod a clear annuity of moot. Thefe advantages the propolals hated, were to be fecured upon am ple freehold landed skates, certified by furveyors to be of fufficient value, and the deeds were to be fubmitted to the infpedion of the molt eminent conveyancers. The Learned Serjeant Paid, he fhould be glad to hear from the other fide, where i thefe freehold eftates lay ; he believed they were not in any part of the United Kingdoms ; no, not even in Tipperary, that county of Ireland fo ce lebrated for containing the eftates of thole perfons whole means of living were in this country deemed fomewhat equivocal. The propofals added, that the title deeds of thefe dimes were to be inrolled in the Court of Chancery; that ceremony, howe ver, had not yet taken place. The Blares were to be transferable, and fubfcribers were &fired to loft no time, as it was probable, in cafe they fhould afterwards with to difpofe of them, that they would bcar a premium. The defendant having thrown out this bait, his client, the plaintiff, was the only gudgeon who caught at it, he became the purchafer of a !hare, and paid the defendant his tool. but never had there been any perfon foolifh enough to become a fubfcriber but himfelf. Upon his applying to the defendant to have his money returned, the anfwer he received was, that the deeds were preparing, and would be completed as loon as the fubfcription was full. His client had been gulled, not only by the promifing propofals held forth, but by an affidavit the defendant had made before the Lord Mayor ; a fort of affidavit which it was extremely improper for any Magif trate to take, as it was impoffible for any perjury to be afligned upon it. The affidavit hated, that the deponent Charles Cooper would carry his in tended plan into effed as loon as the fubfcription alfo direted, that all lubccriptions were to be paid to Mr. John Nichols, of Red Lion-pall - age, Fl,:et ftreet ; Mefrri.

Surely the plaintiff had waited full long enou l th fir the fubfiription filling, and it was not Yeatinlai)le fhoold wait till tli'e Gres.k Calends.

Mr. Serjeant WiLLIA:Is fubmitted that the pro. pofals operated as a contraft between the parties, and were therefore liable to a :lamp duty. Mr. Serjeant BAILEY and Mr. WIGLEY con tended that the propocals were only to convey to the public a dcfcription of fornething luppond to exifl, but which in fa6t had no exillence.. Sir ALLAN CHAMBRE Paid, he (hould certainly receive the propofals as evidence; upon the face of them they did not appear to conflitute an agreement.

This anion was brought again! the Bank of England to recover the value of a wool. note, w:iich they had detained when prefented for pay ment, under the circumftances below flared :—lt may perhaps be recolleeted by manyof our Readers, that a perfon of the name of Nowlan, a Soap-boiler, became a Bankrupt in the year 1793, and that there was a tam of upwards of 40001. of which he gave no fatisfanory account to the Commillioners.— The only account being, that he had the notes in his pocket-book, and that in travelling to Cheiter by the mail-coach, it was overfet, and he loft the book from his pocket. The Commiffioners not conceiving this to be a fatisfadory account, corn. mitred him, and he has remained in cullody ever lance that time. The wool. note for which this anion was brought, was one of the notes Rated by him fo to have been loft, which has never been heard of till it lately appeared in the manner as related by the evidence in this caufe. Mr. PARK!, for the Plaintiff, Rated the caufe of his Client, and infifted on his right to recover the note in quettion, as it was taken in a fair courfe of trade. The Plaintiff, Mr. Blake, who called for payment of the note, was a Working Silver fmith, living in a Court in Cagle-ftreet, Lcicell&r fields, and in the courfe of April tali lie received the note in queftion from a perfon of the name of Dallow, or Dallone, for by the letters he wrote, it was not clear whether the 'aft letter was a eu, or at. He did not know who this perfon was, but he had given value for the note in the manner as his witnetres would prove. The lira witnefs called was a Clerk to the Plain tiff Blake, of the name of Medlicote. He laid that they received a letter on the 4th of April from Bath, figned with the name of Dallow, or Dallone ; it was not clear from the writing, which lie produced, in the letter. It Rated that the writer was about to fet up a Goldfmith's !hop in Milfom-greet, Bath ' • that his uncle was going to advance him money for that pnrpofe, and that he i fhould deal with Blake. He therefore deiired the Plaintiff to fend a lift of the things he manufaftoto ed, with their prices, and added, that be fhould pay in ready money. (It may be proper to oblerve, that this letter had the Bath Poll mark). He was thew n this letter by Mr. Blake, who faid to him that he did not much like country cuttomers, for he had nearly !attained a lots by one in Warwick fhire ; the Witnefs replied, that as the writer pro. pofed to pay ready money, there could be no danger of dealing with him. The Witnefs then produced a copy of the anfwer written to this letter, which Rated that the Plaintiff would be happy to ferve the writer, but obfcrved, that he dealt only for ready money : and alfo added, that as he was about to let up in his bulinefs, he had an affortment of feveral dozens of fecond hand watches, which he would let him have a bar gain. This letter was direned to Mr. Dallone, to be left at the Poft Office, Bath, as he had inform ed them his houfe was not fitted up. Another ler. ter, in anfwer to this, was received,' which - tained the order, and Mr. Dallone requeftei might be ready when he got to town, which wi in the courfe of a fortnight. The order accordingly fet about,and the men were kept e' night to work. They got the flyer from 1 Cowrie, laver refiner, and on the zoth of A the order was two-thirds completed.
