The ATTDIRIT-GeNtaLL, on the part of His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex. moved, that ',sotwithstanding injnoltion elreadyissned in this tense, the Right Hon. William Windham and Lord Grenville 'herald issue debentures oat of the fund inuesuld to them, to the arsonist of 6,0001. for the sue of His Royal Highness; and also, that they should issue debenture for a like sum of 6,0001. to be paid over to the Plaintiffs, for the use of Lady Augusta Murray. Mr. Hos LIST, on the part of Lord Grenville, said he was instructed to consent to the motion, so far as Lord Grenville was authorised, and wished to re mind the Court.. that as the case now is, Lord Gren ville could not issue his debentures, unless His Ma jesty should dire& his warrants to him. and au thorise him so to do ; as soon as this was done, be was ready to consent to the motion io the fullest extent.

The Loan Co tic ELLOR—"Certainly take it so. ' IRRRISASiTT.II.Minors,v. r &ERN AtiTLl ansiT A YLOR. Mr. Rims* arts, on the part of the Plaintiffs, moved, that the Defendant, Mr. Freernande, should pay into the Bauk, on or befote the 2dth of this month, the sum of 66191. acknowledged in his answer to he in his hands, as administrator of the effeets of Mr. Fremantle deceased, father of the minors. The falls of the ease were as follows : At the death of Mr. Freemantle, he left whatever pi operty he was possessed of to his w.: e, trusting to her na tural love and affeClion foe their children, and leav ing the mode of providing tar them entirely in her power. Some time after this, in the administration of the Marq us of Buckingham, its Ireland, Mrs. Freemantle obtained the place of Housekeeper to the House of Commons, wi:h a salary annexed to it of 8001. a year: se soon as she had got this, she con sulted with her particular friends, the late Eatlof Clare and the Earl of Westmeath, and WAS, after much deliberation, advised by them, to sign a paper, by which she declared, that the pretherty she then was in possession of, was left to her by her husband, for the sole use and advantage of their children, and that the place of housekeeper to the House of Com mons had :'nee given to her for the express purpose of maintaining bets& and her children on it, and letting whatever property her husband had left, ac cumulate for their use. She then by it bound her self to fulfil, in every laved. the intention of her husband, and to maintain her children eat of the 81001. At the time of passing the Al of Union between this Country and Ireland, Mrs. Freemantle obtained a pension of 10001. a-year ; comperoating for the loss of the place of 8001. ; and having marri ed the Defendant. Mr. Taylor, they continued to sup port the children, and to allow their property to Ac cumulate. until the year 1803. when they said they should be maintained out of the interest of the money they had. The present bill was accordingly filed on the part of the children, for the specific per formance of the agreement signed by then mother. The present motion was, that the Defendant, Mr. Freemantle, who was administrator to the father of the minors, should pay into the Bank. the sun. of 66191. which he had acknowledged, in his answer, to hare of the property of the deceased. No objeetion being made on the part of. the De fendant, the Court made the order accordingly. RAYHOLD V. ANN ItAYISOLD. Mr. Ross t LL v on the part of the Plaintiff, moved, that a receiver should be appointed to the estate in question in the cause, at the same time intimating, that in making this motion for a receiver, it was his intention that it should, by putting the possession of the estate into the hands of the Court, eventually aft as an injunaion, to prevent the Defendant from proceeding at the next Staff .?d Assizes, to the trial of an ejeament, which had been brought by her against the Plaintiff in equity, who claimed as heir at law, for the possession of the estate. The bill, which was filed in the course of last month. stated that Mr. Raybold the elder, now deceased, had been possessed of a considerable estate in Staffordshire, where he resided, and that he had been for a con siderable time before he died, not completely right in he senses. The Defendant, Ann Raybold, then Ann liandeock, without any previous introdudien, but being, as the Plaintiff believed, wholly unknown to the deceased. wrote a letter to him, signifying how very unhappy she was at being away from him, and saying, as she was then a single woman, she intended taking an excursion into the county of Stafford, and welted have the pleasure of paying him a suit, or if he had any inclination to come to Lon don, it would make her extremely hippy if he would reside at her house in Paddington-street, when every attention would he pail him. The late Mr. Hay bold, when he received this, did not know what it meant, and, after consulting with all his friends, at length brought the letter to an Attorney, to see whe ther he c mild interpret the meaning. (Mr. Routu.v stated this with humour and caused much laughter.) The Loan CHANCALLOR said lie supposed the Attorney was of opinion that it was a subpana. (4 load brill.) Mr. Houtt.i. y proceeded in the statement of the bill. The Attorney was of opinion that no notice slintild be taken of the letter, in consequence of w!lich several others of the same purport were sent. but no answer being rettirned to any of them, the lady at length made her appearance at the house of Mr. Haybold, and then contrived to stay for a considerahle time, until the servants, in general. es:l limed against the impropriety of it, and the old housekeeper complained to her master's friend>, and declared, that it was her firm belief, that Mrs. Hanticock was no better than she ought to be." the housekeeper caressed herself. The come- epsefice of this complaint was; that the friends re moostrated, and :Mrs. Kusdcock . was turned out ' of the house. She shell took a lodging in a neigh bratiing *nage—and; in the course of a very short time, came in a post-chaise: accompanied with several men an foot, to the house of Mr. Raybold, when one of bet attendants having placed a pistol at the head of the man who had the care of that gen tleman, he being then in a state of derangement, compelled him to deliver up his patient, and the Lady having placed him beside her in the post chaise, they drove off to London together, and were married. Shortly after this, Mr. and Mrs. Ray bold drove to the mansion house in state, and Mrs. Raybold, having discharged all the old servants, prevailed on the old gentleman to marry her over again. They lived quite happily together for some time, until Mrs. Ra ybold, having at length discovered her husband's infirmity, sent him to a mad-house ; taking special care , however , to bring him home fora few days at the end of every halt-year, as the tenant did not much like to pay their rents %mien they saw him sign the receipt. In the year 1804, Mr. Raybold died, having in his lite-time, after his marriage with the Defendant, levied fines and suf fered recoveries of his estates. A will was then pro duced, dated a few days before his death, by which he left the greater part of his property to the De fendant. The Plaintiff, as heir at law, took possession of the property, and contested the will in the Prerogative Court. Mrs. Raybold, in the month of March last, served an ejeetment on the lands, which stood for trial at the next Stafford Assizes. This Bill was filed in the course of last month, praying a discovery of all the deeds and writings relative to the estate. The Learned Gen tleman therefore hoped that, in consideration of these circumstances, and as the Plaintiff in equity - the anion, the deeds _ _ women s the eldest tint appctrin4 more than two or three and hems.. `Tastweie sll Siosimiata fur further examination. A very long pri:rate examination of the Pr;Erler! took place respelling the packet of jewellery belor.g ing to Mr. Pemberton, of BirMingham, which had been stolen from the Shrewsbury mail coach ; some of the particulars we gave in our Paper of Wed nesday last. On the return or the Magistrate to the Public.ol - he declared, that nothing whatever appeared against the girl (servant to Mr. Fox), to criminate her, and she was accordingly discharged, upon her mother's (a very decent poor woman) engaging to bring her forward, when she should be again re quired. Poled Andrews.. the Guard of the Shrewsbury Mail Coach, ind a man of the name of Posta: 11riiir, were then brought in, in custody ; the Ma gistrate informed them, that a considerable degree of suspicion attached to them, respelling their knowledge of this tratisaltion—and, in consequence of the information he had received, he was under the necessity df detaining them, till some necessary evidence, which was expelled, should x brought forward. The other prisoners, Fox's wife, a-id the boy; Wise, were remanded for further examination, and Fox was dismissed upon his former recogni,ance. bad no means of defending and papers being in the possession of Mrs. Ray bold, that the motion for a receiver should be granted. Mr. Ric o ARDS, on the part of the Defendant, ar gued at considerable length against the motion, stating, that the Plaintiff himself was in possession of the estate, and that, therefore, he had no pre tence for moving for A receiver, except for the por pose of preventing the question on the ejeament from being tried, which he submitted the Court would not allow. The Loco Co aNcri.Loa thought the question was. whether the heir at law should give judgment to the Plaintiff in ejeament, as it was impossible he could go to trial without the discovery in equity ? His Lordship then detailed some of the points in the case, and said, he did not think any person was in possession of the estate, as it was sworn that the tenants would not pay their rents until some proper person was appointed. On the whole, be was of opinion, that the answer should be put in he'ore the trial at law took place, and, therefore, that this usu. tion should be gnytted. POLICE. , --- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A singular occurrence is said to have happened at Bury, in Suffolk, a few days since. A stringe noise was heard during divine service in an old chapel, which became so loud as to prevent the omvize from continuing. Immediate search was made, but to rto effeet, until last Wednesday, when a labourer, em ployed to repair the place, by chance struck a pti•se of iron, and immediately a door in the pannel of Use wainscot sprung open, and discovered a human !so lr and an iEllian harp, which, from there being a hele in the roof of the house, occasioned this singular noise.
