LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE TUC KIM V. URNRY PALAU. AND THOMAS 30111 AM PARE. The defendants, the first a person formetly in the Transport Service, and the second a tavern-keeper io New Bond -street, ap. 'peered to receive the sentence of the Court, having been con victed of a conspiracy to induce Sir Thomas Champneys, Bart. to accept bills of exchange to the amount of £2OOO, and to give a warrant of attorney. In one instance a bill was obtained to the amount of £5OO, others were accepted to the amount of £l5OO, and an the bills were obtained by a cheat and fraud on the pro secutor.—Several affidavits were read, giving the defendant Palmer a good character.—Mr. Guaxar, as Counsel for l'ark, addressed the Court in mitigation. Mr. Justice Vaunt regretted that one of the defendants, who, during many years had b orne a respecta b le character, should tend himself to this transaction. Sir T., Champneys was a pri soner in the King's Einch, yet, no doubt, he was able by means of his property to make send the securities he might give. Ile was necesntous, but calculating in the death of his father and his property, he was in a situation to pay the. securities. The defendants applied to him, not so ma& to benefit Sir T. Champ;• neys as themselves. They had endeavoured to impose upon him. Sir T. Champneys wanted money, and they.Torced pods upon him: )ie had been described as an acute mail, but any . person looking at the transaction must say, he had been as weak a dupe as wicked men could desire. He ultimat.ly receityt d 100/. for 20001. securities, and a warrant of attorney. Thst Learned Judge adverted to the whole of the transactions, and having noticed the delivery of the bills, said that act would in duce the Court not to inflict a fine, but they were hound to take care these practices should be suppressed. The King's Bench Prison was not fit for the reception of the defendants, and there fore the sentence of the Court was, that the defendants for this offence be imprisoned in Coldbath Fields Prison four months. 1 Tihit on WEDNESDAY, the 26th June, at One o'Clock, they will be ready to treat with such Persons as may be willing to Contract for raking away LEAD ASHES From his Majesty's Yard at Deptford.

THIS much-esteemed and elegant Preparation pos sesses the advantage of instantly producing Soda Water in the highest perfection, and of being at the same time a mild Ape rient, relieving Heartburn, Bile, Nausea, Acidity on the Stomach, &c. To those whose Stomachs, from weakness or other Causes, reject Epsom and Cheltenham Salts, &c. (the nauseous taste of which deters many from using them), these Powders are particu larly recommended. They possess all the medical properties of the celebrated Seidlitz Spa, in Germany ; in their operation are equally mild and efficacious; and, being perfectly tasteless, they may be given to Children as well as Adults, who cannot take a Saline Aperient in any other form. If recourse be had to them after too free an indulgence in the luxuries of the table, particu larly after too much wine, the common disagreeable effects are altogether avoided. In warm climates they are found highly be neficial, as they correct disordered Bile, without debilitating the Stomach.

Jago de Chili on the 20th November, on his way to Peru, where he intended to settle as a medical practitioner. He had come by land from Buenos Ayres, with a Mr. Bryce, and both underwent the se verest sufferings and privations in crossing the Cordilleras, which, on their reaching Mendoza, were reported to be impas sable from a heavy fall of snow After a few days delay at Mendoza, they encouraged some South Americans, who were also on their way to St. Jago, but whose fears had induced them to halt, to make an attempt to cross the mountains. The day after leaving Mene.oza they were joined by a lady, and their party then consisted of fourteen persons. On reaching the foot of the lower chain of mountains, the snow was found so deep that they were compelled to part with their mules, and two of the natives were seat back with them. The most earnest per suasions were employed in vain to induce the lady to return with the mules, and she next day perished from cold ai.d fatigue. Soon after, the rest of the party, with the exception of Dr. Num, and Mr. BLACK, who had provided themselves with green veils, were struck blind from the intense reflection of the sun's rays from the snow. The two British travellers, however, resolved not to abandon them in the pathless waste, and, in a few days, they had the satisfaction of conducting their unfortu nate companions to a place of safety on the western side of the mountains. Their enterprise, perseverance, and humanity, were highly eulogized by the people of St. Jago. A letter of the Ist ult. from Smyrna says, that the French Consul, M. Illiceort, who had been sent by the Capitan Pacha to treat with the Greeks intrenched in the mountains of &io, had succeeded in his mission, and had returned, bringing with him in chains the Samians and other principal authors of the insurrec tion, to deliver them up to the Pacha, who had made that the condition of his proffered pardon. The Pacha is said to have expressed his gratitude in the most flattering terms, and to have presented M. DicEon with a beautiful horse, as a reward for the service which he had done him. He bad already ordered the Catholics made captive, to be set at liberty. The ship le Nantois, which recently arrived at Bourdeaux from the Isle of Bourbon, brought letters dated in February, containing afflicting intelligence respecting the expedition to Madagascar. A cor vette sent from that island to Bourbon, for succour ' 1 to the Governor of the colony, brought t h e f o ll ow i ng l l details :—Out of 212 individuals, composing the per sonnel of the expedition:, there were, at the departure of the corvette, S 7 dead, and 167 sick, only eight re maining in good health. Le Nantois has also brought very alarming accounts respecting an insurrection of the Blacks which had broken out at the Isle of France, These accounts, however, add, that it had been re pressed by the energy and promptitude of the mea sures of the young Creoles.of the island, but the con sequences were dreaded. Loan soNies V. rtrrcirea. The Somme-Geese* t. moved to set aside the verdict in this case, on the ground that the Jury had assessed larger da mages than the case required. It wai an action brought by the Noble Plaintiff, who was the proprietor of an Advowson, upon a bond in which the defendant had covenanted to give up the living when required so to do. The breach was proved, and the Jury found a verdict for 10,0001. the penalty of the bond. The Sotactroa-Gamtam. now contended that as the life in terest of the defendant in the advowson did not exceed .07090, the verdict ought not to exceed that sum. The COURT were of opinion the verdict ought not to be dis turbed, and the application was refused. They observed that the defendant might quit the advowsou, and relieve himself, if dissatisfied, by giving up the living. PREROGATIVE COURT, JUNE 12. wilt. OP MT LATE NIASIISTT.TIIR sot-DISANT PRINCESS (LIVE, Dr. Lumina:on stated, that since last Court-day, having com municated with the King's Advocate, who, it appeared, had still no instructions in this case, be was under the necessity ofienew ing his application this day, by stating to the Court the facts upon which the present application was founded. He would proceed with due respect to the delicacy of the subject, as it related to the Royal successor, wherein this Court was called upon to try the validity of the instrument purporting to be a testamentary paper, executed under the late Royal sign manual, in favour of Lady Olive, otherwise Princess of Cumberland. His client brought for ward a document which purported to bear the Roya sign manual; and likewise other signatures a s a t test i ng witnesse It appeared by an affidavit exhibited, that the instrument w s put into her hands by the late Earl of W arw i c k, i n present of his Royal Highness the late Duke of Kent, who acknowledged the claim to be legitimate, the Earl stating that he was commanded by his late Majesty so to deliver it. Mr. Dicketwon, steward to the Earl of Warwick, would prove not only that this was the genuine signature of the Earl, but that it was to his belief the , actual sign -manual of his late Majesty. Mr. Lloyd, an attonie y, who was in the habit of being professionally employed for his late Majesty, would likewise prove that it was the genuine sign Inanual ; and a Mr. Vancouver, that he was so thoroughly con vinced Or its genuineness, that he would have acted upon it. The other attesting witnesses were the Earl Of Chatham and Mr. Dunning (afterwards Lord Ashburton). Mr. Griffin, many years clerk to,tVir. Dunning, proved his signature to be genuine, as did another Gentleman, that of the t arl of Chatham. The Learned Counsel said, it was his duty to the Court to state, that it was not until recourse had first been bad to a proper and re spectful application to his Majesty's Government, that at length his client had been driven to the necessity of bringing her claim before a Court of Justice ; the answer of his Majesty's Govern ment being, that they did not think proper to interfere. Ills cli ent, therefore, was placed in a strange dilemma with a paper of this importance, if some Court of Jastice or other did not think proper to interfere. The question now reluctantly forced on the consideration of this Court was, whether this paper was or was not a forgery ? And if that could nut be decided her, it could not be brought to the test. Had this testamentary act of his late Majesty (observed the Learned Counsel) taken place when he was under the affliction of his mental malady, and when he was bereaved of his understanding, there might have been good reason for questioning this instrument; hat this instrument, which was executed in 1774, forty-eight years ago, was before his Majesty's first attack, and, consequently, when he was competent to have executed any testamentary instrument.— In a case of such peculiar delicacy, it was proper to proceed with much care and cautlon. The paper, however, was propounded, and which was in substance this :—" We, by this paper, giv e n under our Royal Sign Manual, do her eby give and bequeath unto O.lve'of Cumberland, daughter of our Royal brother of Cumberland, £15,000, and we further command our heirs and successors to pay to our said niece, after our demise, the:aforesaid sum, as a recompence for the injury she may receive by means of keeping the marriage of her said father and mother a se cret." The Learned Doctor commented upon the words ~ be queath" and " we command," by which he contended it was im perative on the Court to give effect to this instrument. When this paper was looked at by the Court, as containing the testa mentary directions and commands of the late Sovereign of this country, could it hesitate to give full power and effect to such an instrument, in all that its power or intention might require? The object of this application was to call upon the Ring's Proctor to oppose and contest this paper in all its essential requisites; and this was the duty of the King's Advocate and Proctor, when.. ever his Majesty's interest, real or nominal, became litigated.— He should concur with his Learned Friend in the peculiar 1 anxiety that the case should be proceeded in with the utmost'ile licacy, as it respected the Crown. Dr. LUSHINGTON, having sat down, again rose, and begged to state, that he had just had a note put hit his hand from the King's Advocate, intimating a desire that the further hearing might be deferred for want of instructions; to this he (Ur. Lushington) readily assented. KING'S ANTOCATE.—As my duty is merely to act in obedience to and with submision to authority, I can only say I wait such instruction as may be given._ _ _ Sir JOHN NICIIOI.-Ixt the further consideraticin stand ova till next Court day.
