They further stated, that w.len the Defendant remonstrated with Ctipson, and in formed him of the impropriety of his condor % by seizing the goods, when a writ of error had been I served ; he, Clipsoh, drew a pistol from his pocket, and threatened to blow out the brains of any person who would oppose him. They concluded by stat ing. that the goods were takth away, wad that the Defendant and his children were lett without a bed to lie on. On the part of the Plaintiff, the affidavits of Clipson, and other Officers, were mid. They stated, that when, according to orders, they went to lay on the execution, the Defendant, at 67st. offered Clip son a bribe aot to take away the goods. This was refused ; and the Defendant, with an oath, then said, •• since . non won't be tipp'd in t 4.4 way, I'll tip ,•ou ernr.ther ;" and instantly knocked Clipson down, and prevented them from taking away the goods, in every manner he possibly could, by breaking several bottles of wine, and kicking, and otherwise abusing the officers, in the most violent manner.

LEY INLELLIGENCE. COURT OF CRANCERY, Tuts°Ar. Ft.. n. 2110VOITTON a, CATZII. This was a bill, filed in order to determine the conatinnitin and enforce the performance of an agreement, by which the Defendant leased certain premises, at Blackheath, to the Plaintiff, and co venanted, that the latter should have a piece of ground " immediately behind the house," sup. posed to contain about two acres, for the purposes of a garden. A cow-bill was also filed, by the Defendant ; and the dispute between the patties was as to the hum and situation of the ground which the Plaintiff was entitled to occupy. For the Defen.:ant it was alleged, that the terms of the agreement allotted to the Plaintiff no more land than striEtly extended backwards, " immedi ately behind the house ;" and that nothing else could have been intended by the lessor, as the giv ing of ground, collatetal to the house let to the Plaintiff, would have been prejudicial to other con tiguous houses of the Defendant, by depriving them of the ground backwards, which they were respect ively to enjoy. For the Plaintiff, it was alleged, that the accept ance, in that sans?, of the terms of the agreement, would be td give hires a piece of ground of the ab- surd dimensions of five yards and a half wide, and more tha a a mile in length. It was also contended, tl it the Plaintiff, with the privity of the Detenda t, had ►u•lt M cold-haul at the back of the noure, and ha I much exceeded the side boundary, within which it was now alleged he ought to be confined, lsv digging both east and west t.t that boundary, to tt• o >pringc, trona which he had laid aqueduCts for the supply of the bath ; and this had been Borst without any opposition on the part of the Defendant, or any intimation that the Plaintiff was encroaching, ar digressing from the premises leased to him. Under these circumstances, be felt himself entitled to a piece of ground of a reasonable and useful width. The MASTER of the ROLLS sai I, that the evi dence of certain improvements having been made with the Delendant's knowledge, deprived him of the benefit of his co..struction of the agreemert ; hut that it did not appear list could give to the Plaintiff, in quantity, any mi , re gtouna than was prefi::ed by Mr. Cater Limsel. and staked out as belonging to the premises on a former occasion Mr. Cater is to pay the costs of this bill, and hie cross-bill to be dismissed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Warrunestca—r... 11, AISRFAI/RLY FRACAS. Mr. leluttoce applied to the Court. for leave to file a Criminal Infnrmatinn against two Gentlemen, of the name of Peter and Duncan Campbell, for riotous and violent condusg. at an xi:sem:A, in the town of Gateshea I, in the county of Durham, for assan;ting one of the Company, and sending a challenge to provoke a duel. From the affidavits, it appeared, that the De fendants were both Officers in the North Lincnln Militia; and, on elle night of holding an assembli, they went to the Assembly Rooms. By the regrelar r tions of these rooms. Non -subscribers were not ad. initted, unless introduced by a regular member, and even then they moat be dressed conformable ter these regulaticsns. These two Gentlemen insisted on admission ; but were told by the door-keeper, that being in hoots, and nett introduced by a S tb scriber, he could not admit them. They appeared satisfied with this answer, and went away ; but soon after returned. when the Defendant. Dunean, his whip, made a clear passage, and they both forced their wAy into the room. A message was seat to them by the concluders. to expiain the regu lations of the rooms ; ono the necessity of their being peeperly dressed and introduced; to which they answered, that they felt themselves very cnmtnrra. b.-, and would i.or star. Upon his, they were re quested to withdr aw ; but they declared they would not, unles, forced to it. Some further words en• used, when Duncan Campbell sho,k his whip, and clenched his fist, in a menacing meaner, at the gen tleman who concluded the b ell. Ihe ladies were all alarmed, and the parties retired in .n an adjoining card-room, from which one of the doors commu nicated with the street. Here the gentlemen of the Assembly contrived to lock them out of the ball room. in hopes that they would go away; but the former had scarcely returned to the Assembly Room, when a most violent knocking was heard at the door. Three gentlemen were discovered to he adually breaking it open; and succeeded in forcing the pannels, so as to gi+e tlsem room to pass through: and Duncan, returning to the room, gave to one of the gentlemen a note, couched nearly in the (allowing terms : et t:erieteenerr—Cuu all ensmbined, arc so valiint, that we shall tint now Rice you; bust, we are waiti..g below. iti order to arrange matters for a meeting to-wnrruw morning." TO this invitation the gentlemen, of course, gave no answer ; but Peter Campbell, some time after, on that night, met Mr. John Hawks, who was re turning home with his wife and sister from the as sembly, and asked him to step aside with him ; as Campbell had struck that gentleman in the rooms, he supposed he wished he should give him satisfac tion. Mr. Hawks replied, that it was not then quite convenient, as he had his wife and sister under his protelhon; and Mr. Peter Campbell again said he would fight him with sword or pistol, or any other weapon he pleased. The Court granted a Rule to show cause. - .111" • Went, t 1 a remainAer wairevrteti to the ri:4' , nt;fr• who wos tti deliver them nut to men, who Ontd preslnt tickets lor that purpose. signed by tne fend Ant.

MMII)A3AUS. Mr. Vittsow, a few days ago, as mentioned in our Paper of Thursday last, having obtained a ccn ditional rule for a ALendamar to be diree.:d to the Commissioners of the Ccuit cf London, to hear and determine a cause between the Chamber lain of London anS a Mr. Ilayly, a broker, relative to the payment of forty shillings fine, urn his ad mission as a broker, pursuant to the Ad of the G:h of Queen Anne, the Soracrroa-CISCRAL sheaved cause against this rule, contending, among other things, that as the broker gays- a bond for the punc tual payment of that sum yearly, the penalty of which was only recoverable in a superior Court, the rule should not be granted Mr. Wirson and Mr. 1301. LA ND supported the rule; the latter Gentleman cited several ancient Afls relating to stations City charters, in some of which the authority of the Court of Requests was recog nised as prcv: , rti..;,- vexatious and expensive pro cc? '•rtgs in the ,supelior Courts, by petty-fogging attorneys, it:formers, &c. He further urged, that in this m'de the Chamberlain was able to recover these stall sums at about the cost of 10d. ; where as, if they were obliged to sue in one of the upper urts, it sers well known so many pounds would not &tray the expences. LYNN r. LYONS. Mr. Wrote had obtained a conditional rule in this case, to discharge the Defendant out of custody, execution not being ,tied out in due time. Mr. Woo showed cause against this rule, and contended, that execution could issue after a super sob as had been entered, and even where judgment bad merely been obtained, the Plaintiff had his elec tion to issue out an execution either against the per son or goods of the party, at any future period he might think proper: in support of this argument, the Learned Counsel cited several eases. The Court, considering it a question of very con siderable moment, required time to give their final judgment.

Our second escape was, that our good pilot nearly ran us on the Galloper Sands, off Hararge ; our next and miracu lous escape was on the night of the 23J ult. ; our ship struck on a sand bank.called the flakes, off theTelel, about half-past ten o'clock, p.m. it being the Di vine will that the night was calm (otherwise the ship would have split in the course of halt an hour); we . remained in that situation, firing guns ef distress, un til scumming, but to no purpose, as our convoy, which was the Rtgadar, had parted from the fleet the day of that night, in pursuit of a strange sail which he descried to the southward of us, and of course was too far as:ern for our guns; and, as we plainly heard them answered in toe beginning of the night, it must have been tram one of the gun brigs which accompanied us : day-light at length appearing. with the dismal aspetl of a heavy mist and tog, prevented us from being able to see landf; we found there was no alternative but to snake our escape by theassistance of a raft then preparing.
