fed details refpeding the Lite riot among force of the foldiers in that garrifon; but as we are in poi feffion of more correct and later flatements, dired from that place, their infertion is rendered unne eiffary. The accounts that have reached us from Gib raltar come down to the 3d infant, and are molt ifatisfadory. Now that we are in poffeflion of the whole fafts, how different do they appear from the llatements which, from want of better infor mation, not to fay from a fpirit of malevolence, have found their way into fome of the Newfpa pers ? With fuch full and ample details as the following, any comment would be fuperfluons : GIBRALTAR, DECEMBER 3 _ *rote yon three days ago informing you of the alarm we had had here from the riotous con. &Et of two of our regiments. I ought to have informed you that about a half of the fecond Bat &lion of the Royals, being compofed of Irifh and of drafts from other corps, which arc, as all your Military Readers know, invariably the worn men, • • 4 it di d not excite much furprize that they had in a, ulged themfelves to excefs when they had got , T sb re Ilion of money; but the wonder was how they had been able, after the regulations that had been judiciody adopted here, to get liquor in fuch quantity. This however has been afcertained on the trial of eight of the rioters of the 25th Regi bent, which doled yefierday. From the evidence it appeared dearly that the riot had not refultea from any premeditated plan or a aifaffeetion to any of their Officers, but was toeielY the refult of drunkennefs. It came out, however, that force Dutchmen, of whom there are about feventy in the Regiment, and who are dif- Contented at not having been difcharged at the end of the war, were the chief infligators to the tiot, and would have (purred on the other foldiers +.o Tome mifchief if they had been able. But the !Holt important fall brought out was the way in which the men got fo large a fupply of liquor. When His Royal Highnefs the Duke of Keer arrived here as Commander, he found that the foldiers could obtain liquor with fo muth facility that they were abfolutely thereby deprived of iniuty of the real comforts which otherwife would be within their reach. This evil had arifen to an Warming height, and its fource was traced to the treat number, and the bad changer of many of the Wine Houfes. The mole worthier: were therefore rupprelred, and it was hoped from the regulations adopted that the evil would loon be, eared; and indeed the good 'frees of this wire bedevil were in a &oft time manifelk, in the con dud and difcipline of the Garrifon. eti tlib piefent trial it came out that the Wine Sellers; whore houfes had been rupprelted, had sittoitoully fupplied many of the men of the asth Regiment with buckets of wine in as great Tun is they could drink, to induce then: to cry but for the Wine Houlh being opened again—in the hope, probably, that could the men be by this means enfuriated, they might create filch an alarm as might furprize the Commander into a promife bf this kind as the means of rettoring quiet. In this their hopes have been fruftrated, and Come of them will have caufe to repent of the experiment they have made. Three of them, to whom the charge has beet: brought home, are now in prifon for the offence, and will be profecuted with pto• ter feveiity as loon as the trial of the foldiers is ended. The fentence of the eight foldiers Who hate been tried will not be known till the trial of the other Ave, which it now going on, fhall bk over Yott itall then hear from me. imitraair j. To-morrow three of the ringleaslers btionging to the 25th Regiment are to be fhoi on the Grand Parade, in pretence of the whole Garrifon, at eight ',clock. Their names are iaßoret, Teighttlan, tad Retlty—the two former are Dutch, and the lift an Irithman. It appears clearly that the whole of the late mifehief and dißurbantes, both in the Royals and ssth Regiment, originated folely in the foreigners and drafts, none of the old foldlers baying been at all aeceffary to the beinefs. The Garrifon is all quiet as ufual. The CYNTHIA (loop of war kilt for England the firft fair wind, with Capt. Done, Secretary to Nis Royal Highnefs.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING's BENCH, TAN 27. TINDAL AID CO. V. LF.Wrs AID ANOTHER. Mr. GIBBS moved for a new trf:ll. The Olin tiffs are Bankers at Eriflol, and br.wsht this action againft the defend.ints Lewes and !fudges, on re veral promitfory notts, which were tira.vn by them. The cattle was tried at qui:dhlll, at the Sittings after laft Term, when there was a verdid for the defendants. The promilrory notes in quer lion came into the bands of tire ,plaintiffs, by hay. ing dikounted them, and althon,,vh the defendants had adually paid the amount of thefe notes; that money, through the bankruptcy of Gayer and Company, had never comeinto the hands of the plaintiffs. The queflion le the caufe was--Whe. ther the plaintiffs had given credit to the defen dants for thefe notes, nr whether they did not look to Clover and Company for payment ? There were fome ftrong fads in this cafe. The defendants had .paid the amount. of there notes to Clover and Company. The plaintiffs were aware of that circumffanee, and yet never anted the de fendants for this money for upwards of fix years after, and till after the bankruptcy of Glover and Co. Lord ELLIIIISOIOUOII thought it was clear the plaintiffs had !hewn by their conduft they looked to Glover and Co. for payment. The evidence feemed to prove that, and he believed the verdia of the Jury was founded on that belief. Mr. Gress (aid, the plaintiff. had 'hewn all the favour :hey. could to the defendants, becaufe, in truth. Glover and Co. ought to have paid this money. They had proved this debt under their Commifflon, in cafe of the defendants, becaufe if 'they had fued the defendants, and had received this money of them, the defendants could n. •t have come in under the Commiffion ; and therefore it was very hard, that becaufe the plaintiffs had done every thing in their power to relieve the de fendants, by proving the debt under the Commit*. lion of Glover and Co. that they fh , Juld be confi. dered as having difcharged the defendants. They had sifted from the molt honourable motives.— Rule refufed. TAYLOR O. IiARRIS. Mr. ERSICINP laid, it would be necelfary to Rate the ground and principle on which he made this motion. This cattle was tried in London, and was an action on feveral bills of exchange. The defendant objected to the payment of thefe bills, on this ground, that he fhould be able to impeach them for an utiorious confideration—and he fuc. ceedcd in that, Lord Ellenborough being perfect. ly fatisfied on that point. But promiffory notes having been given originally for goods, the plain tiff propofed to go on the count in the declaration for goods fold and delivered, on the authority of Gray v. Fowler and others, t. H. Black. 462. — The Learned Counfel Paid he did not difpnte that law ; but this cafe was abundantly different, and was this :—The defendant purchafed goods of the plaintiff, and, for the payment of them, gave him certain promiffory notes, five in number, on which this adino was not brought. When two of thefe notes became 'due, the defendant took them up; but, before the other three became payable, he, fearing he fhould not be in a condition to honour them, applied to the plaintiff, and this agreement was entered into between them—the plaintiff agreed that the defendant fhould draw upon him bills of exchange, to the amount of the three pro miffory notes which were Rill outftanding in dif ferent hands, and that he, the plaintiff, would ac cept thefe bills of exchange, on which the aAion was brought. The plaintiff laid, I will not do this for the mere difcount, but you &all pay me a premium of t tl. 51. That premium was added to the intereft, and .the defendant gave the plain. title promiffory note for thefe two articles alone. The cafe then was this—the plaintiff fells goods and delivers them to the defendant, which he pays for by promiffory notes, payable at different dates. After be has paid two of them, he agrees with the plaintiff, that he fhould accept bills to be drawn on him, by the difconnting of which, he, the de fendant, might take up, and did take up the three promiffory notes. But the plaintiff, in order to induce him to accept thefe bills, not only infißed on legal intent*, but a premium of tt4 se. The defendant, at the trial, had a verdict on the counts for the bills, and the plaintiff had a verdia for the original co nfederation, or value of his goods; and the only queltion was, Whether the nfury, being eftablithed on thefe counts, could reftore the plain tiff to his original demand for goods fold and de livered ? The Learned Counfel admitted. that if the bills tainted with the army, had been the notes which had been originally given for the goods, the plaintiff might Rill have a right to recover, as for goods fold and delivered. But here the notes dig were given for the goods, were all taken up and paid; the two firft with the defendant's own mo. ney, and the three left with the money be receiv ed by dikounting the bills which the plaintiff no r cepred. This atiton was btnoght for all the goods fold and delivered, although the defendant had paid two of the promitrory notes with his own mo ney. The bills of exchange not being paid, cams back on the plaintiff Isioniel6: but the firft notes which were given for the goods being all paid, he fubmitted that thefe bills exchange werein fad a loan of money from the plaintiff to the defen dant at an ufurious interek. and when thar was proved, the plaintiff had no right to refort to his goods fold and delivered, beeank thefe bills were not connected with the goods. At the trial it was conceived that the original promiffory notes were affected by the ufury,bitathat was a Initiate. Lord ELLEVIOROUGI4 (aid, it feemed from that Ratement there mull be a Rule to thew cafe.— Rule granted. _ _ LTOIIII O. WARR.
