" Why. you su.ely ate not going w hi:ewash Jud:e Jeffrey• r The Author replied, ht cotainly crulsl not thick of jurifying that lawyer upon eery occa•ion, whose character was upon the ethyl-, pone of the best; but that he saw no re.ts n why even s well a mat as Jeffreys might not have had some good gsa lities, as well as others. This prefatory remark is honourable to the character da Biographer, who has evidently written, in a spirit of extenuation, candour, and honesty. In, fact, the pro &diem is nolo of singular interest, and we shall be obliged, and rather unwillingly too, to forego some re marks tha. • e haJ noted down on reading the work, in Wert° admit an extract which cannot fail to excite ars !rat ion, and, at the same time. convey an excellent spe c ften of our Author's style of composition. The fob lowing recorJs a foul and dreadful transaction of the Bl o ndy Assists. and the contrast of the meek and per secuted Lady Lisle, with the behaviour of her vile and iniquitous Judge is solemn, striking, and p serer ul. pi cheater was the first place where the 'Ministers of Justice ma r l; for bete was the Lady Alicia Liele awaltimg her trial--La I ffy stonious Lady, tot bet huNband had been no other than the trot John Vide, one of King Charles the First's Judges, a us. ixts Republican, Seale timt LuA• President of the High Court of /mice, and islet Commissioner of the Great Seal. Her offence tootle harboorldg ens John Hicks, an alleged trahor, who was hsos afterwards at Glastonbury, and who lied fur shelter after the agert of the Duke. Otte of the moot singular Incidents, how. net, which accomperded this trial, was die appearance of Henry Pullerfen as Counsel for the Crown. This lawyer had been deep la the confidence of the country party, or, according to North, •ta all the desperate designs against the Crown," and yet was selected fur the King's advocate open this emergency ; and, which yet.more strange. consented to tip, employment. Fanatic ae be a aped, tie had contrived hitherto to preserve a great character fee colistency; and in *le set his new retainer,was made Chief Justice of the Comm.,' Pleas en the accession of King William. • Bat to return : Hicks .nd one Nelthorp, both of Ryesbouse Plot Nnturiety, were found in the house of the prisoner under Owes circumstances: they had escaped from Weston Moor, and m ooted an asylum at the hands of Lady Alice. When the won was made to h-r, she entertained It with great civility, being entirely ignorant of the route which her guests had taken. Hicks Miter had the candour or the temerity to acquaint her with the nth, on which she instantly dispatched her principal servant to a Justice of the Peace with infurmation concerning them, but gave especial orders that they might be suffered to escape. At this crisis a ploy entered, and made the fatal discovery. Jeffreys, bitter foe as he met Mewed himself to the Dissenters, was transported with rage beyosd himself at this trial; for in additlen to a prisoner who bad been harbouring Diameters, he had a very reluctant Presfry. loin witness to deal with. It would seem, In fact, that this Mee had worked Meissen up to a lunatic ht of phrenly against Nonconformists, and that he could acutely be said to command his ems when one of such a persuasion was brought before him. .tad yet he isplayed his usual knowledge of men's characters by the SW rat many religious admonitions, and even imprecations of the Maine wrath against liars, which greatly tended to alarm the hollteeiate witness, who in reality did shale in Ms testimony for &porno* of screening the culprit, but was entirely assamier.d by fleelsief,Justice. 'The expressions used towards him bete ouch as letweeki he meet likely to beechen's, is. the Sim of worship which hinted taught him to attend, and the regedrion.of them ha as awfal X of a Cieerimf Justice would reader than dui more frihii ete'.hh nein& “fhe pert* of Jeffreys's conduct at the trial has been strongly nymisated. He told the Jury that Ntltborp had privately in. hondfalm of the whole cosiest...ado° Which took. place between th prisoner, Hicks, and blosself, Stolen they were together at sup. let. And although it might have been a very Sat and :lost cos, vainion of the wltness,.yalso was then slittarine moat outragemody bilis mistiitts, the Judge had clearly no right to armies it 'from ii.

They asked, whether tbt Mistier could be found guilty of coucealing a person who had not been convicted of any effroce ? for Hicks was not se yet tried, Ws my erosible question it was. Jeffreys said It mad, ma dill. irate; and this opinion of-his was one grouted foe reversing the *trot after the Revolution. However, the Jury were still dhuridd ; they thought there had bees no proof of Lady Lisle's laminige that Hicks had been in the army. Northing mare pal.

There are two games now pending, of which one is in its nature drawn, and the other is in an advanced' state. widioet any material advantage having been gained by either party. The next marital by either Club will decide the match; but as games played with critical circumspection on both tides must freqmently be drawn, the contest may still rival the Trojan war in dentists, before it is brought to a conclusion.

" I'll be d—d I don't," and rinse it with such gate that one of the 7ongs penetrated the deceased's body to the depth of • we•n six and seven inches. piercing she longs and 'aiming the left sennicle of tie heart.

The pitchfork, which was a most terrific instrument, the handle being nearly thirteen feet long. was produced. It appeared from the evidence, Rowland did not throw the pitchfork with the proogs forward, but swung it by the handle; bat no pro w. cation. whatsoever was given by eights, the de ceased or Board, except the throwing back the hay ; that clueing the day up to the time the fatal &rum. stance took price, no angry words had passed t.but that the whole of t' et elicits, on had been passed in due in most cordiali , y ; th it none of the parties were intuzicated. • n a that Rowland committed the fatal aecideat from sad-. den pasrioe.

Yestee day mm ring, about three o'clock, the greatest commotion Prevailed in his Majesty's Jail of Newgate, in consequence of the escape of six capital convicts. amongst whom were the two not irious characters While and Roach. who had been convicted during the last Sessions. About the hoot :shove stated, Mi. Lyitch Cotton (son of Dr. Cotton, the Reverend Ordinary, whose house is in Nesvgate-street, apclibe first routs!. the corner irons the Old Bailey, the scar of wheel* abuts tie north wall of the poison!, who slept in The hack attic, was awoke by a noise• or` head on the, roof ; he listened, and disiinctly heard footsteps, and some person say, " this is the way, Charles,"— he then heard them attempt to force the trap door. but could. not, as• it was very securely boated within side. Ms. Cotton, junior, at:. once suspected That some of, the prisoners had contrived to escape f rom their Cells, and' cautiously creeping from his bed, roused his father, whom he informed of the circumstance. The . Reverend Gentleman, with all possible haste, joined his soar in endeavouring -to' cattle their capture. Young Mr. Cottoe repaired immediately to Newgate, and rang the alarm bell. which was instantly answered, and • he toe information to the Governor, and the rest of the Olficers, of the affair, of which they were previously in knoreoce. The o ffi cers and tu rn keys instantly aimed themselves, and nen in all detections in purse t of them, assisted by young Mr. Cotton, who espremed himself quite sail d the prisoners had "not gained the street horn the roofs of the houses, as only seven minutes bad etipsed from the time he first heard the noise. He elme stationed a party of watchmen in Warwick ther lane, and others at various rots, to interrupt their pro. gress, should they pals. Mr. Cotton himself, took: his station on Vie north side of Newgate-street, and kept a sharp look out towards the roofs of the hotises between shit of his father arid Warwick lane. Reload not been long there, before he saw the door of an empty house, for merly occupied by Mr. Walton, a carpet manufacturer, gently orsisied, an.l two young men dressed in frock leats (White and Roach; conic out. He stood for a moment inactive, and saw them turn towards CneAp vide, and the rest moment out came four more. and the instant he saw them, he shouted out as loud as he was able " stop thi.f, stop thief," and in an instant, the whole of his ;laity came up, and joined in pur• suit.of the convict., who ran-as tact as they were able, the first two making for the east, the others to wards Holb• tn. The first two, although closely put sued by the officers, succeeded in effecting their escape, but the other fbitr, atter a m rat desperate eSist, were taken, and sally lodged in th-ir old quarters. Officers were dispatched in all directions after the others, and instant infosmatio4 was sent to the Lord Mayor of the cir enmstaitce. His Lordship proceeded to Newgate, and aish the•Gover no, examined the-prison, and the Means shat bold been adopted by them to facilitate their ob joett,when it appeared that they had broken through the thick wall of their cells, and thereby gained the yard,, hod then scaled the north wall and descended to the roof of Mr. Cotton's house, which is a height of about 10 feet; they then crawled over the mi. of six houses to get at ghat of Mr. Waltois's, out of which they made their es cape, but in what .way they enntriveu to descend from she top to the bottom canto be, ascertained, as nemly all the stairs bare been removed. The persons of the two ilea that hese Red, are well known to all the police offices, and we have not the least doubt but they will amen be retaken. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Lynch Cotton l r his promptitude in the business. Ibe whole of the prisoners that escaped were convicted as the May Session, and were all respited by his Ma. lefty. when, the Recorder made his last Report. The following are the names and crimes of the convicts t•-: • George Plummer, burglary; John Petre, stealing in dwellitig-hou•e; George Williams. ditto; John Haines, burglary ; John White, stealing in a dwelling-house; and Domes Roach. far burglary.

It was clear that the omission of his own name in the will as the fa-her of any children whom Martha Davis might ham, had been intentirmally made, and that its object wal to get over the difficulty contained in the rule of law, that a disposition outset be made in favour of an illegitimate child, to be born at a finale period. On the face of the will, however, there.was nothing which Mtended the benefit of the becomes contained in it to the twn after-born seer s Thomas and Jeremiah; and his Lordship therefole de cided that they were not entitled to take either under the will or codicil. raodmortient to BAIIESCIPTCY. • Mr. Loverr applied, at the rising ut the Coin, Ibr pet mi lot to makes motion under that part of the new Bankruptcy Act which directs the enrolment of pm ceedings under a comutissi , o, and declares that witless they are so enrolled, they shall stet be received as me deuce is any Couit of Law.

His Honour was very well aware that many things were frequently admitted in an answer, not because they were true, but because they wire not material, and c rnstquently, it would not be worth while to entet into .engthy rapt mations respecting , them.
