HAWKINS. in this case the plaintiff was an excise officer, and the defendant a publican, in Thames-street ; the action was brought to recover 491., the plaintiff's proportion of a lottery prize. A lottery club was held at the defendant's house, of which he was the treasurer, consisting of 18 members, of whom the plaintiff was one. In the June lottery of last year, their respective proportions of prize money amounted to 9s. each, to which they agreed to add 18s. a piece more to purchase into the next October lottery, which was accordingly done, and one of the sixteenths so purchased, turned up a prize of 15,0001. • which, along with some 201. prizes, making a dividend to each subscriber of 511. of which it was agreed that 11. should be spent in a supper, and 11. to he retained for the purchase of tickets in the next drawing. The defendant received all the prise money the day after the drawing, which he divided amongst most of the subscribers that evening. The plaintiff attended to receive his share, but being much intoxicated, the defendant refused to pay him then, but promised to pay him . the next day ; when he came next day to be paid, the defendant refused payment, alleging that he had forfeited his right to any share, not having paid up his subscription previous to the drawing, according to the agreement entered into by the society, and further, that he had erased his name from the list of subscribers, and therefore was not entitled to any thing. On this the defence chiefly rested. But, it appearing that the plaintiff had paid his subscription to the defendant's wife so early as the month of July, that the list from which he had erased his name was not the list of subscrip tions, but a list of ale scores due by the club ; and, further, it appearing that the night previous to the drawing, the defendant himself had un dertaken to pay up the arrears of the defaulters. The Jury fuund a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 491. 281 element. The engines of Windsor were sent with all passible expedi tion, and a large party of the 29th Regiment, there stationed, rendered every assistance. Before five o'clock,however, the whole of the interior was consumed, leaving only part of the outer walls standing. Fortu nately no lives were lost, but the whole of the family-plate and jewels, together with the valuable furniture Lnd paintings, were entirely con sumed. The fire was occasioned by the bursting of a flue which pro jected from a patent stove, in the room adjoining that in which L o rd and Lady Montague slept, the furniture of which was nearly consumed before they discovered the danger they were in. His Lordship and fa mily retired to an adjoining farm house until they obtained carriages to convey them to Windsor.

ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, 4c. Dawson, the man concerned with Cecil Bishop, in the poisoning of the race horses at Newmarket, some time since, has, it is said, made a voluntary confession of every particular relative to that nefarious trans action. A person heretofore of great respectability in the circles of fashio nable life, is reported to be implicated deeply by the above man's evi dence. In a few days the whole of the particulars will be made known. A few nights ago, part of the gallery of the Theatre at Tunbridge gave way, by which accident many persons were bruised, but no lives were lost. A dreadful boxing match took place on Monday last, at Basing, near Hartley-row, in Hampshire, between James Colbovrne, a bargeman, and Harry Willoughby, a coachman, for ten guineas, a side. Both were hit blind before they had fought twenty minutes, but they were relieved by the lancet, and the combat was renewed until, after fighting an. hour and twenty minutes, they were too exhausted to set to. They however recovered, and fought a;rogether two hours. Colbourne won the battle, hut he is not expected to survive. The loser had.not quitted his bed on Wednesday. A gang of midnight depredators to the number of 16, with their faces disguised and armed with pistols, beset the house of Mr. Drinkwater, farmer of Glossop, Derbyshire, on Thursday last, and having watched the opening of the door, they rushed in, demanded money, and took away and destroyed property to the amount of nearly )51:Ill.—Whilst the party were robbing the house, a fellow stood over Mr. Drinkwater as he lay in bed, brandishing a sword, and threatening him with instant death if be stirred. The honest man lay still, and he had a good reason tor so doing, besides the sword that glittered over his head, for under it was a case containing two hundred pounds in money, and the writings of his little freehold. These the robbers did not find. When they had done their work, one who seemed to be the Captain called over their number from one to sixteen, and all having answered, they departed With their booty. Daeenrue FIRE.—On Tuesday night, about ten o'clock, a fire broke Ducat th e west end of the mansion of the Right Honourable Lord Mon tague, at Ditton Park, near Datehet. •The family had just retired to bed, and, before they could well extricate themselves, the flames had 'communicated with astonishing rapidity to every part of the edifice, which being of great antiquity, wainscotted throughout, and intersected with numerous staircases, presented Little opposition to the devouring TO LAniEs Oh FASHION; CLARK, Ladies' (fro;:i Mr..
