COURT or REQUESTS, souTilwA RX, SEPT. Y. DENAPPL; V. JOIINSTot4E. The plaintiff in this ease was an apothecary, and in hie appearance, reminded us strongly of ono immortal Poet's Mantean Compounder of Drugs and Simples,—`• Sharp eery appeared to have worn him to the bone." But it seemed rather to the misery of disease than of poverty. He How sought by his appeal to the Commissioners, to recover 14s. tid. the amount of his bill for.drugs,and ails ice turuished to the defendant's errs aut. The delivery of the ph..sie and the fair ness of the chat ors were admitted by the defendant, a jolly looking son of Neptune, wl&u' countenatice proclaimed to all ecua ad his sentiment—" Throw physic to the dogs • none of it."—and 11.• slow resisted the plaintiff's demand, Oa the ground that he had atreaily paid it mice, and that in his opinion was once too often pay fur silt I) stuff. About four months ago, lie said, his servant was taken ill, and 19 r. De. mina was employed to make her right and tight aL t aiii. As soon as she was well, he Relit her to the Doe tor or for her bill, and gave her the money to pay it. Shortly after, Dr; Denappe quitted their neighbout hood, without call*: on defeudiiiit to say where he was going; and in about a month, subsequent to that period, defendant having a suspicirm that Sa.ly was not honest, her iniati,.iss having missed several pieces of Met', and utlicr; ; ef,., lie paid her her wages and discharged bt r. Along ten days ago lie was surprised by a-visit flout the Doctor, and a deiniauci fur payaitiiit of his bill, which it now appeared So;ty had slot dPeharged. He submitted, howevi r, that lir -.:511:01 habit. to the paystieut a second time, since, but for the Doctor's neglect, in not caking before lie quitted the neighbourhood, he might have been paid longugo. The Commissioners folly agreed in this opinion.—The plain tiff's loss arose out of his own neglect, firr which it would be hard, indeed, to snake the defendant sutler. His onlv remedy o until now be against the girl herself, if he could 'find her. The plaintiff appeared greatly dissaiisiied with4he tiociOon, declaring, on quitting the Court, that the Commissioners had given him a pi:l, more bitter to swallow, and harder of digestion than any lie had adunuiatered to a patient in the whole coal se of his practice. On FEN Fr urr ty WINTEil.—Let cherriev, strawberries, raspberies, I,linto!e., peaches, or any other sneenleut fruit nliatever, be put- into a vessel, somewhat like that used by common confectioners for freezing ice creams, around which put salt and ice, exactly us they do: the fruit will soon be ti ogee, when it should be carried to the ice -house, and placed 1 . 11 a hole de; out in the-centre of the ice, and 'over the my of eke lint* "quantity of powdered charcoal should be placed, secured by a common watch-coat hien' et.

When salt and tee, iu the manner employed by confectioners in general, thall be found inadequate to freeze some fruits hard enough, the mixture lot producing an inttuse cold, as spoken of by Chaistal, the celebrated cloy ells?, of Fait, sabprtre, and Gleuber's salts, will Nei:Wetly Ire/melt yr r) band.
