The Statesman. — London, England, 1812-04-04 00:00:00

Although the mysteries of bill work are pretty Well understood in this country, the following appears to be a refinement:—By a law in Virginia, if any Bill o f , Irawn for any'suiti of money, end such Hill is protested for non-acceptance or non.pay 'tient, it carries interest from its date, after the rate! o f 10 per cent. per lithium, until the money be fully satisfied and ?aid. A very curious instance occurred some years age at Williamsburgh :—An usurer, not sat isfied with five .per cent. legal interest, refused to I advance a sum of money tot Gentleman . unless, by I way of security, he would give him a Bill of Ex change that shoal& be returned protested, by which be would be entitled to 101. per cent. The Gentle. man, who had immediate occasion for the money, grew a bill upon a capital merchant in London, with whom be had never had any transaction, or carried on the leasticorrespondence. The merchant, on the receipt of the bill, observing the name of the drawer, very roadily honoured it, knowing the Gentleman to be a person of great property, and concluding that he meant to enter into a correspondence with him. The usurer, upon this, became entitled to only 51. per cent. He was exceedingly enraged, therefore, at being, as he called it, thus tricked, and complained very heavily to the Gentleman of his having given I him a good bill instead of' a bad one! At the last Norfolk Agricultural Society Met;ting, Mr. COKiparticularly,took occasion to recommend to the notice of Norfolk Farmers the Devon breed of cattle v of-the excellence of which he had no hesita. tion in•saying..bis opinion was decided; and !thing so, he thought it his ditty a recommend them as a cattle in Whidi ware bSivaed the two qualificationssof milkers and breederti..l../dr.

Coei'' also made some I excelAnt,Oblerrallopi up - on thelbsdnest of rye-grass, and‘W inre'rt6ritrici "cockaLfoot, 'and desired the Mentliiir§ilioilld• pay-attention to some exporiments now goiitat liolkhato-upon these grasses.: He then adverted to the eaceUence of the Swedish turnip, and its superirOty- above the common turnip, and as et' rysentiment he delivers upon farming is always the effect of actual experiment, and of a judgment formed 'upon incontrovertible premises, Mr. COKE said, he had put twelve beasts, firs to the common turnip, and the, to the Swedish : whilst they were at the common turnip they ate each seven bushels and 281bs. of oil-cake pee day ; and whilst they were at the Swedish turnip they rte each only four bushels and I.llos. of oil-cake. _ It iv with pleasure ire give the- following article I . from the Stamford Netts :—" G. LISTER, Esq. the tiew Shorift, has commenced his nificial duties just as the general report of his character encouraged us to ex i :ect. The prejudiced and the Illiberal have, it is manifest. no influence whatever upon this Gentle man. On Friday last, accoifipanied by Mr. LAI4G• TON and the Sub-Sheriff, Mr. LISTER visited the Castle ) and closely examined every department. To the complaints of Messrs. DitatAan and Frtotsterr, &c. he gave the most gentlemanlike attention, and prOttlited Complete redress. For Mr. FINNERTY he ordered An airy and lightsome apartment in thafront of the prison, for which that Gentleman bad so lout looked in vain:—and the Prisoners heard with ; peculiar satisfaction the declared purpose of the Sheriff, that the Magistrates Shall not interfere with las -Authority. This resolution must astound the Magistrates ' • for, of the nature and extent Sheriff's authority, they have been apparently re- 1 gardiess for a series of years, during which' they I have assumed arid exercised. a power in this pri son, as If it were a house of correction exclu sively under their own controul—nay, until their mistake was corrected by Baron Woon, at the Spring Assizes of 1811, these Magistrates actually pretend ed to the right of 47pointing the Jailor; but their pretensions and palter, with regard to this prison, are. now no more :—Che intelligence and firmness of Mr. Limn has pat an end to their reign. These are the Magistrates, we understand, of whose con duct Mr. FINNERTY complained in his petition to the House of Commons, and lest that conduct should be indiscriminately attributed to the Magistrates of' this county, some of whom are highly liberal and respectable, we think it proper to name those to A%hom the petition referred (to wit): Dr. CALEY ILLINGWORTH, Parsons NELSEN and .Becxuearo, Joel; CRAYCROTT, Esq. and Mr. HENRY HUTTON, a Barvisteir. The conduct of Mr. LISTER, in this in stance, furnishes a striking contrast, which we can not forbear to mention, to that of his predecessor, Sir JOHN TROLLOP; who never once visited the prison; who never enquired into its state or conduct; nay, who never answered a prisoner's letter of com• plaint." The far-famed Baron GERAxe was sent off yester. day to the eettli in a chaise and four, from whence, under the Alien Act, he is to be conveyed out of the country. It is.aaid that a correspondence of a very unbecoming Dieu* was discovered between him and Pen** , in 5ic11)4,.. Uhl a)sg.'skid that he had written *to Ministers, raging very eaarbitant demands en the national generosity, and had itecome extremely troo. blesoete, not miry for his importunity , . but .for the menaces with which his applications were aseosepe. tied. On .the meeting of Parliament, we Utakhusk a question will .be asked as to the state of thin ceedings, under the extent against the estate of Mr. Vir.Liens, andas to the settlement of his acconnts. For two years the absence of his deputy has been the excuse, for not inrestigating the long arrest., It is obvious, that the impunity which defaulters have experienced, is the cause of the frequency of defalca tions. We are requested by a Correspondent, who is him self a Clergyman of the Established Church, So state, that the distinction made in the new Registry Bill between Churchmen and Dissenters, may lead to cousequences Which the authors of it are not aware of. if, says be, we oblige the Dissenters to register their own births•and burials, they may perhaps think themselves - entitled to exercise the same privilege, with regard to their own marriages; a favour which, at present, is granted by law to Jews and Quakers ; but denied, for what reason we know not, to all uthOr denominations of Dissenters. John Venn, late of East-Brent, is committed to I lchestei gitOl., charged With the murder of E. Comer. • ' •/ ~ ~ THE STATESMAN, WESTMINSTER SESSIONS , .4 3. Prat 'this day was occupied* in trying traverses and petty misdemeanours of the most trifling nature. William Udall was brought up, under a commit ment of R. Battu, Esq. one . of the Police Magis trates, being charged as a rogue and vagabond. Serjeant Dalton, of the sth Royal Veteran Bat talion, stated that he was passing near King-street, ' Sqlso,,en Friday morning last, about half past one o'clock, when enquiring his way to Grafton-street of the watchman, four men obtruded themselves to show 'hi m th e way, and under , that pretext headed 'him; one of them made a snatch at his watch, but the Serjeant prevented the villain from robbing him, and called the watch. They then ran off, a pursuit took.place, and the iterjeant had caught hold of the fellow who snatched his watch, when the Prisoner CUM behind him, pbstructing him, aad the three es caped. The Prisoner was then secured, taken to the *itch-how, and searched, ind on his person was found an iron crow used for hou e-breaking, a tinder-box and matches, a flint and +steel, and a knife. The Court, under these circumstances ordered him to be remanded on, his conviction, and sentenced to be imprisoned in the Rouse of Correction for six months. ' ' Re was then tried forattetep in,g to pick the pocket of the Serjeant, and the same evidence being ad duced, he was found Gurley; and ordered to be im prisoned lA months, to commence after the expiration of his former term 'f , COPY OF MR. 7VOKE'S WILL. - - _ t • I BORNE TOOKE, en, this diiy, Tuesday die 10th of Jane, one thousand eight hundred sit Wimbledon, ill the ; , Cue.ty of Surrey make this my la* lIIH and Tegument.

Witnesses GEORGE PEARSON. JOHN SANDFORD. A gentleman's carriage, in which were a lady and four children, was overturned with considerable via lence yesterday afternoon, in Oxford-street, near Pond-street, by the negligence of the driver of a talico-glazier's cart. The horse had started off on a sudden, and the wheel of the cart got bold of the hinder wheel of the carriage before the coachman' was aware of his situation. One of the children was dangerously hurt, having fallen out of the coach-. window under the vehicle. The carriage was said to belong to a Mrs: Wheedle. Owing to the melting of the unusually heavy falls of snow, the River Severn rose, during the night of I Sunday and Monday morning last, nearly six feet perpendicular. The avenues into Shrewsbury, which adjoin the river, were rendered impassable, except by boats, and many of the buildings were inundated. jt is said, that Mr. Chinnery, late of the Treasury, has left this country, and is on his *ay across the I Atlantic. 111UNGO PARK. • • Retract from the Calcuftu Monthly Journal, for June, 1811 :—" No certain intelligence has hither to been received of tfie fate of Amigo Park : but it appears by the English Papers, that the accounts of hit safety are again doubted. We know not whe ther the following circumstances, as communicated by Mr. Pearce, in Abpsieia, to Captain Rudland,l at Mocha,- hi a letter, dated Antalou, the 29th. of I December, 1810, are calculated to lespen those ! doubts or not. The person alluded to is either Mungo Park or Mr. Hornemati, who has been sent I by the Diletatiti Society on a similar 'mission. A friend of Mr. Pearce's, who has a relation a mer chant, in the Shoa, Cofla, and who left Efut three months ago; said, that some strange white man had arrived in the country of Shea, and *as Espeeted at Flat, with an intention to proceed thence to 'l'igri. Since this information, Mr. Pearde heard, that a white man was seen beyondShoa. Mr. Pearce had obtained leave from the Ras, to proceed to Shoe. In consequence of a letter addressed by Captain Rad land to the Ras Welleta Selasse, orders had been, given, that in case Mr. Park entered the territories of the Ras, every attention was to be shewn him, and every assistance afforded him to remit' Mas aorta." POLICE. • . . Yesterday James Healey. was brought up before the Sitting Magistrate (Mr., Alderman Dostvms) for re-examination, charged with embezzling a quan tity of linens, mid other articles to a 'considerable iseeninate: the property of his late master, Mr.' Burne,-1 lan tufting,* wholetatelmbertaiher and linen-draper, Aldermaubury. 'Fhe Prisoner had been porter to: Mr. Berne for several years, 'sod had lately. set up it pebllr r boUte in the neighbourhood. of the Mansion% 310110; Where the property in question was fUtmd, cou*kd in.a deal box. inatt upper apartment of the house,' -by Hawkins one ,of the City Officers, to whom the Prisoner had in some degree confessed that the property was stolen. After a long investigation, Mr. Burue not being able to identify.anypart of the property, and there being no other evidence of the felony, the Prisoner was discharged ; but the wor :thy Magistrate directed the property should 'be de tattled in the hands of the Officer,. and a civil action to be brought to ascertain the real owner. - II ATTON-GA RD L N. - CuRIOUs SPECIES or FRAM—John Nunn and William Atkins, were brought up for re-examination i before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr: TURTON, charged with stealing a dollar, the property of one Cordinglie, a . publican, in Whitecross-street, St. Luke's, under singular circumstances. On the forenoon of Tuns- day last, the Prisoners came to the bar of the Prose cutor's tap-room, and requested he would $2,i%,! thin change of a Croydon Bank-note for 21. which be did accordingly. In the afterneon of the same day, they came again, and requested change of a 11. Bank of I England note, which he likewise gave them, and after he hid laid it down on the counter, while the one pretended to count it over, the other putting his , hand in his pocket, observed he had change enough i without it ;4the other, with much dexterity, slipped a i dollar, part of the change, up the sleeve of his coat, at the same time shoving the remaining change back into the till. The, Landlord not immediately per ceiving the trick, closed the till * without counting the change, and they went away. In the evenit:g, after . candle-light, they returned again, and again demanded 1 change for a pound note. By this time the landlord had counted the money in the till, and missed a dol lar. Hancock, a Police-officer, accidentally hap- i pelting to cation the publican, he mentioned the cir- I cumstance to him; and when they demanded change 1 the third time, he produced some silver from the till, and gave it to them • the O ffi cer, who was concealed in the bar, perceived one of them.slinfiling about the ' change in an odd sort of way, and upon this rusked ,l out and secured them. The landlord then taxed 1 them with stealing the dollar on their .secdnd visit, which they of course denied. It appearing, how. ever,. that the Prosecutor could not speak positively as to the amount of the change in his till at the time he changed the first one-pound note, not hissing counted it for some time after ; that he had not as certained at the Bank whether the notes (which ulti,- mately appeared good ones) were genuine or not ; I and it also appearing that the Prosecutor was a little inebriated at the time he gave the change, the wor thy Magistrate did not feel himself justified in com mitting the Prisoners for trial; at the same time be I had no doubt they were guilty of the charge, and : made a livelihood of such nefarious practices. They were accordingly discharged. i . _, A man of most respectable appearance called at the house of Mr. Davidson, printer in Boswell esevert, on fieuday last, about two o'CLock, ostensi bly for the purpose of making some enquiries as to the probable expense of printing a pamphlet on the wesent state of Spai:i. Mr. D. having &en the ne cessary information, the stranger, after appointing to call the next day at two o'clock, was about to take his departure.—Upon reaching the door, however, it rained very heavily, and being 'without an um brella, he declared his intention of taking a coach, but lamented, in a careless manner, that he had but a 51. note, and having descanted on the difficulty of getting change, be concluded with requesting Mr. D. to giVe him change, which Mr. D. did, without hesi tation. Soon after his visitor was gone, however, he had reason to regret his kindness, for the 51. note he had received proved to be a forgery ; and 'his kind tustomer, of course, forgot his appointment for the following day. A ludicrous investigation took place at the Peblic office, Bow-street, on Wednesday. . A young Hiber nian, of a .respectable appearance, who has lately arrived in London from Ireland, attended at the Of f ice, without any coat on, to - complain:against one of the frail sisterhood, a. Jewess, who resides in Catharine-street, for unlawfully detaining his coat. He went backwards and forwards several times in his undressed state, with messages to the girl, but she refused to deliver up the coat. She at length agreed to go before the Sitting Magistrate ' • when the young Hibernian stated, that he met with the female on Tuesday evening, and spent all the money he had in .

She agreed to let him go home with about nine o'clock, a horse in a taxed cart Will her, but he was afraid to let her know that he had stopped to drink at Mr. Branhurg's, at the Thatched no more money ) lest -she would not abide by her House, Islington.
