The game produced much mirth, and the cheep much feel ing, after which the company retired much pleated, to their retpedive homes. A poor man, who, we may reafonably prefume, is deranged in his intellects, appeared in the Coort'of Chancery, on Thurfday, for the purpote of prefent ing a Petition to the Loan CHAPICKLLoa. He alledg• ed that he was no lets a Perfonage than the Duke of Noarowt, and that his name was HOWARD. That the prefent Duke of Noaromt was merely the ufurper of that tide • but that he was the defcendant of that branch of th e Howard family to which the Dukedom, with all its rights, royalties, privileges, and immuni • tics, legally belonged. He was accompanied by his daughter, whom he called Lady MARY Howeito.— Her Ladyfhip's appearance did not much correfpond with the rank his Grace, her father, had bellowed upon her. She was a fort of Didrinea del Tobefil, and her hands and arms were as brown as thole of the celebrated minrefs of the Spanills Knight, and more likely to have been employed in picking peas than (fringing pearls. His Grace watched the riling of the Loan CHANca Lima. and prefented a paper to his Lordfitip, which was kindly received. We have Since learned fomething more of this proud pretender. It teems he adually had the con fidence to force his way into the chamber to which his Lordlhip retires at the riling of the C , tot. His Lordlhip had the condefcenflon to hear him, and after attending to his incoherent tale, he, with all that good nature and humanity which charaderi7e him, endeavoured to prevail on him to defill from fo to. mantic a purfuit.

TVAL OP /On tioaza !meter LOTILIT, roe TONGSIP. The following cite, which excited uncommon in terelt throughout the county of Somerfet, came on at Wells, lark Tuefday, before Ba r on T HOMPSON : 701:o Do& Roomy, alias Rooskt, was indided for i having felonioutly and knowingly forged a certain bill of exchange, dated Grenada, toth of llorrinbet, 5804. for 4301. Reding. payable at nine months light, to the order of George Danley, Erg. and drawn by Willis and Co. on Me ftrs.Child and Co in Lnndon,with the forged acceptance of Meas. Child and Co. on the face thereof, with intent to defraud Mary Simeon. Mr. But envoi. entered into the details of the cafe, which were afterwards fubfiantiated by the evidence. Mr. Philip George, the younger, Clerk to the Mayor of Bath, Rated, that the bill in queflion was delivered to him by the Mayor of Bath, and that he had ever (ince kept the bill in his own cultody. Mrs. Mary Simeon, dealer in laces, at Bath, was next called, and was proceeding to give her evidence, when Mr. Jean.. Connie' for the prifoner, fubasit ted a legal oblation to the Court. He obferved a difference between the bill itfelf, and the bill as Jet forth in the inditiment. The words to which he al. laded were Willis and C. in the bill, whereas in the isidlitent they were Jet forth Willis and Co. After hob difcudloa, Baron Trwierson and the Jury agreeing that there appeared no effeotial difference, as the letter o could be diftinguithed, the oblation teas over-ruled. Wt. Simeon depofed, that in April, 5805, the lived at Bath • the prifoner at the bar came to her Monk on or about the 16th of March, 1805 ; having =at feveral articles in which the dealt, be bought paid for it, and Paid he would bring his wife Ida him in the afternoon. He accordingly did fo, ' aid besought Elizabeth Barnet as his wife, Mrs. Rom sty ; he asked whether Mrs. Simeon bad a Bruffels veil of ago guineas raise ? The wieners anfwered, Se had not ; he then bought two yards of lace, at I fear guineas a yard, and went away. This happened is a Sattirday. The Monday following he came accompanied by his wife, looked - at a lace at veils worth five and twenty guineas, and ether goods, bat did not buy any. In the courfe of the week he called again, and peopofed to the witnefs to porehafe a quantity of goods, if the would take a bill of a long date, accepted by Mefrs. Child and Co. bankers, in London ; who& anfwered, the had as objedion to take a bill accepted by fuch a hook. He returned in two or three days, and pnrebakd ar• dales to the value of about rod. wh t 'eh, with other afterwards bought, and with money advanced her, made the prifoner her debtor to theAssount soul. He bought all the articles himfelf, unac di mangesied by his wife. In the month of April, be. twssa the soth and 24th. the prifoner propoled pay ing for the different articles, and he brought his wife to the bottle, when a meeting took place between them and the witnefs, and her brother, Mr. Da Ha mel. He hid, " I am going to London, and I Sonia like to fettle with you ; this is the bill I pro. toyou to take ; it is accepted by and and Co. in London;" and turning over the bill, he added, "* indorfer h as good as the acceptors." The baM was here produced, and proved by Mrs. reemort to be the fame which the prifoner gave to hat in April, 5805. The witnefs then took the bill, and her brother, Mr. Do Hamel, paid to him for bet 351. which. with the articles previoutly bought. made the whole tithe prifoner's debt to her tool. He wrote before her on the bill the name of John Romney, as his name. He ,afterwards went to London by the snail. She feat the bill the next day to London. The converfation which palled between her and the Ipeifoner, is the pretence of her brother and Eliza. 4oeth Barnet, was entirely in the French 'engage. He We his wife at her houfe. where the Sept. While he was ablest, the witnefs received intelligence from London that the bill was a forgery, and the 414111%4 wrote a letter to the prifoner, iaforming him of it. He came to Bath, in confequence of the letter, late of a Sunday night, and a meeting took place then at her houfe between him, his wife, herfelf, her brother. and her Solicitor, Mr. Luke Evill, of Bath. The converfation then palled in Englith. Several queftions were put to the prifoner by herfelf and by Mr. Evill. Mr. Evill allied him whether be had any bulinefs with W. A. Bailey, the indorkr, which in. duced him to take the bill ? He laid Mr. Bailey had fold tome fugar for him. She ailed him if Bailey lived in London ? he replied, at fume ion or coffee. haute, the name of which (be did not recoiled. He was then allied in what ifland or iflands Mr. Bailey's property was fituated ? he mentioned two or three Mends in the Weft Indies, but he did not know in which of them Mr. Bailey at that time was. The prifoner then enquired where the bill was ? and be ing informed by the witoefs that it was in London, he Paid the mull write to get it foot back. She, how ever, declared that fuch an application would. be unavailing, and the prifoner puffed her to go to London herfelf. She refuted to go alone, and he entreated Mr. Evill to accompany her, Paying that he would give Mr. Evil sot. to defray the expences of the jourtiey, which he accordingly did. She fet out at ten o'clock that night, accompanied by Mr. Evil!, and obtained the bill from Mcflis. Sloper and Allen, in whole cuftody it was, by paying three hun dred guineas, which was all the money the then bad at her banker's. She brought the bill back to Bath, having flopped but one day in , London, but the prifoner was not at Bath when the returned. He had left fume property at her houfe with his wife, who had removed from Sidney Houle, with his clothes, Ste. The bill remained liter this in her cußody about a twelve month, and was given tip to Mr. Evill by her brother. Mr. Dorant paid the whole of the debt due by the prifoner, on the 6th of May, 1805 ; a few day. after the prifoner finally left Bath. Upon the crufs-examinatiou of Mrs. Simeon, it ap peared, that the contidered the prifoner and Eliza beth Barnet as man and wife.

He had filled i hat fituatlon for about nine years, and from his know ledge of the bufinefe, he was enabled to !Fete their manner of accepting bills. The hence had no cor refpondents whatever at Grenada by the name of Willis and Co. and the acceptance which appeared on the face of the bill, was not the acceptance of Mars. Child and Co. —..— —. Mr. Comyn was next called, but his evidence seas not material Mr. Luke Evil!, Solicitor fot the profecution, Rat ed, that he had fent the bill from Bath to his agent in London, for the porpofe of its being delivered to Mr. Dorant.

About a fortnight afrer the firli fa w him, (he began , to live with him, and continued till the 16th of June. 1805 ; during all that period fhe pallid under the name of Mrs. Romney. She left Liverpool in the month of January, 1805, and came to London with the prifoner. They then took lodgings at Mr. Do. ram's Hotel. in Albemarle-kr/et. The account he gave of himfetf to her was, that he was a Well In dian Planter. and that he had elates in Martinique and St. Kitt's. net remained between two and three months at Mr. Doraut's Hotel, daring whisk time they were not vifited by any body except a Mr. Hope, whom the remembered feting with the prig,. nor. This Mr. Hope was not reprefented to her as being from Holland. She accompanied Mr. atom ney to nth, and on their arrival there they at the Whiti H art I nn ,f or a b out a f ortn i g h t, to her lodging at Madame Simeon's. Soon after their arrival at the White Hart,tlse went along, with the pri loner to Madame Simeon's, to look at tome laces and a black cloak. None of thefe articles, however, were porchafed at that time by the prifoner, they being afterwards bought when the was not prethet. She heard the prifoner late to Madame Simeon that he would give her a bill of exchange, accepted by Child and Co. of London. She did not then fee any bill in his poffetfion, but law him wilting one three days afterwards, when he fent the whoa, for tome red ink. She brought it to him, when he was fill writing on the fame piece of paper, and he form afterwards wrote thereon with the red ink, and pet it up into his pocket-book without raying any thing.—. The next day he told her the moll go and walk with him to Madame Simeon's, as he was going to psy her for foist articles be had bought, which the wit; nets had by that time got fent home to her. Sbe as cordingly accompanied him to Madame Simeon's fhop, where Se law that lady, and her brother, Mr. Do Hansel. A converfatios then took place betwixt them, which being entirely la Freach, the did not underhand. She, however, law a paper given by the prifoner to M adame Simeon, which be took out of his pocketbook. This was the fame paper which the had formerly Peen him writing A good deal of eonveziation coined after the bill was pot down, and (he then law Romney pot his name to it. The bill in queflion was here hewn to the witnefs, and the dittinaly identified it as being the fame one the had formerly then the prifoner write upon with red ink, and afterwards indorfe with his name. Two or three days afterwards the prifoner left Bath for London, and the witnefs remained at Madame Si meon's. He returned on the Sunday night follow. Mg, and remained at Madame Simeon's till oat day. She o&erved that he was then very tooth diC• turbed, and the inquired the radon. The prifoner anPwered, by laying, "he mull be hanged." He tithed her to fetch - him his writing delk, which the did. He then took out a large parcel of papers and burnt diem. She had no opportunity of teeing what thole papers were. She Diked him," were the pa pen any harm r. he Paid yes, and that there was a paper which mull not be hen. He further delimit her to go to fuch and loch a trunk, and there (h would find a Plate, which he waited her to take the firft opportunity of throwing into the river. This plate the found without any thing with it, and the pot it into her own trunk among her wearies appa rel. He wrote her a letter after wards from Chippeta ham, requefting her " to remember the river. (This letter not being produced so interrogations were put concerning it.) She had not as opportu nity of throwing this plate into the river, as the never went out but under Madame Simeon's protedion.— She never lived with the prifoner after that day, the 6th June. 1805. She, however, remembered vifiting him in the Fleet Prifon. She was loon afterwards arrefted at Bath, at the pnfoner's inftance, for the rum of 30,3201. and carried to Winchefter jail, and afterwards removed to the King's Bench.

He then charged her with having robbed him on the 11th of June, r 80„ of forty gui neas and a diamond-ring when he was in the Fleet Pri fon. This charge was totally without foundation. as was alto the alledged debt of 20,3201. She never had any tranfadion in her life to which filch a charge could refer.
