BURN. Titb was an ac'ion brought by Viscount Clerawly, an Irish nobleman, against 11. J. turn, Esq. a Lieutenant in the loth Hussars, to recover a compensation in da mages for crimikal conversation with Lady Isabella, the wile of the plaintill. I t appeared that the Lads was thirteen or fourteen years yoongcr than the plaintiff, and they lived happily to.,;elibr, from their marriage in 1803, up to 1818, when the defendant was introduced to Lady Isabella at Amiens, in France, where the plaintiff went to reside upon a plait of economy. The plaintiff, who was a Alemiter of Parliament for I)ownpatrick, lelt his Lady occasionally to attend his Parliamentary duty in Lne;latid, and has absent six months or 11111 e every year. In 1816, the visits of the defendant, who resided at Amiens with his mother and sister, became frequent. lie came, staid the whole day, anul sometime, roe out with Lady Isabella. On the remit] of the plaintiff in May, the defendant ceased his visits, anal Lord Clerahly and his Lady appeared to live on good terms. In Janu ary, 1817, Lord Clerawly went aa,ain to England, to att e nd a general election, having previously r• •ed hi, Lady to Versailles. During his absence on that occasion the adultery was cot iiiii 'tied. The defendant has seen in a situation its the garden which left no doubt of the criminal act.

The fact of the plaintiff hating lived happily with his Lady up to the time of her seduction by the defendant, was proved by Lady Anna i\l.tria Johnson, the Noble plaintiff's sister The letters of the defendant were read. Thee were written in the most passionate style. He threatent'd to kill hoth the object of his affection and himself, in case she did not briug about a separation.— lle siwke of the plaintiff in disrespectful terms, and described the prognostication of a Limnos fortune-teller or sorceress at Parts, named Madame de Norman, whom Buonaparte, according to report, med to consult. This extraordinary woman ' according to his statement, gate hint to understand that the only obstacle to the happi ness of himself and Lady Cies:m.ly would be soon removed. The obstacle alluded to was said to be the P 1 cintiff. Mr. Brougham addressed the Jury in behalf of the defendant, whom he described to be a young man standing in the situation of a half-pay Lieutenant of Horse, unable to pay large damages. He contended in forcible terms that the plaintiff had left his Lady exposed to th e shoals of seduction. Hie long absence at different periods was calculated to defeat his claim to large da mages. The Jury retired for half an hour, and on their return found a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages, COURT OF EXCISE, JUNE N. IMPORTANT DECISION TO LSiATUEI: FACTORS AND OTHERS Mr. Daniel Plater, au extensive leather-dresser and seller, residing at Nu. 237, Bermondsey Street, was charged wish hating in his possession 548 dressed sheep skins without stamps upon them, against the regulations tsf the Act of the 47th of George 111. whereby he had incurred a heavy penalty for every skin so found in his This was a question as to the liability of a numerous class of tradesmen to ihe operation of an Act of Pasha meta that authorises Officers of the Excise to search the premises of certain branches of the leather trade, and seize skins found without stamps. The decision upon this case wes awaited with great anxiety by that oppu lent class. Samuel Kidd, a Surveyor of the Excise, stated, that hr went to the warehouse of Mr. Plater, in company with a brother officer, to search the premises fur mist:wiped r. Miller was fur some time in doubt as to the right oldie Excise to search his premises. Under the production of the warr.ust, however, he allowed them to proceed. They were occupied during the whole day itt examining his stock, which consisted of nearly 12,000 skins, out of whiclt they seized 548, with no stamp to denote that the duty had been paid upon them. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilde, the Counsel fur the defendant. There were 62 skins of the 648 out which he was its doubt whether they had not been stamped.— The stamps might sometimes be effaced by the operation of dressing, which was performed by the defendant.— There were nearly 3000 undressed skins, amongst which they only found tour without stamps. Mr. Wilde addressed the Conuni4sionet's at consider able length and with great ability out behalf of the defen dant, and afterwards called, James Radman, a journeyman in the employ of Mr. Platter, described the operation of dressing the The skin, in one part of the process, was stretched with great violence over a scraper, and in this operation it was unpossib!e to avoid tearing off the stamp which was affixed to the unsound parts of the skin. the beat workmen could not avoid it. The witness produced a bag full of fragments with the duty stamp on, which had been torn olf from the skins unavoidably, and which were, no doubt, belonging to a portion of Ihe skins seized. They had, since the excise had taktn this course, tied the stamps, which were accidenta'.4 tont to the skins to save them from seizure. Mr. Cavell, who had been a leather-seller for 30 years, corroborated the testimony of the last witness. A gentleman proved the circumstance of a stamp having been obliterated iroai a skin whilst being exa mined by the surveyor. S. Ellis a servant of the defendant, was called to prove that Mr. Plater houglit his goods of the leather-cutter factors. 111 r. P. Duncan, Mr. D. Bligh, Mr. 'l'. Sitipton, and Mr. G. Staten., respectable leatOcr.factors, were called to prove that they supplied the defendant with Father in Inc fair and regular way of trade. The .kips mostly carne front Scotland, and went under the survey of all Excisc.oflicer before they arrived into the hands of the leather-seller. Mr. Shepherd on the part (lithe information, sa:d, that the curds of the Act of Padiament were peremp tory; they were—" 'That no peisim except a hunter, taver, or dresser of leather iii oil, should be allowed to base any skins in their possessioti which were not duly stamped, on pain of lOrleilure and certain penalties. I the clause did not apply to the present case to what case aid it apply t—Thc bkius were motecied on the premises of the wither, and those under the immediate survey of the Excise. It (lid apply to ,iumehoily, bin the clause could not operate aii.jlllSt. the retail dealer and he con tended, that to protect the retail dealer, sock men as the defendant ought to be convicted, as it was their business hu take care that the stamp was not erased. The Leanit•tt Counsel concluded by commenting at great length on the testimony adduced. Tile Court, after some consideration, gave judgment against the defendant, Mid Cfilidelllned the skins, with the ex , •eption of the 68 which were dotildihl ; but the) matigaied tne penalties to die sum of 101. Tiwy said, mat if it h:id ueen proved that the obliteration of the kilts was a mere matter of accident, and not of care lessuess, the court would only have condemned the :hid have forliornc ho indict any penalty.

All 1111111411 means should therefore be employed to avoid a renewal of periodical infection. I have consequently Jezreed, that all the ex isting reports, memoirs, and papers, 'elating tithe plague. shAl be exe ' d by a commission, to be c..tiiposed of the most able medical men, and persons acquainted %veils the countries where this evil originates. After due examination, they will make their repo, t on the beat mode of preventing a renewal of the sad events of last year. Upon their report a titan and unalterable system will be established. The commission will explain the real stale of the Juntas of health, Lazarets, and other establish. meats of that nature, will' the amount of foods and reve nues applicable to the prevention of :he plague, and in short, all that C:111 be conducive to an object so essential.
