The poblicily of the discussion respecting the monks has caused loss to an immense ailment in the monasteries which we have io oar view, namely, those of Poblet, Seal.

At Publet the monks are nut able to carry off any thing fur their own use, for the initabstasita of the neizliboorhood, seen,: the pillage th it was going on, came up for their share of the booty, and spoiled all those who came loaded out of the monastery, besides gathering their vtutage, cutting down their woods, and &Mg other considerable damage.

INUIT AND TOX. This was a prosecution instituted by the Apothe. caries' Company against the two Defendants, for having conspired to evade the provisions of the Act of the 5.5115 of George 111. for the regulation of the Apothecaries' Company, and for having imposed upon the Company, in orde► to obtain the admis sion of a person of the name of Fox (the D,fen dant), and a certificate to certify that he had un dergone ■n examination before the Court of Exa miners, sod was fit to practise as an apothecary. Mr. GUNNIT, the COMIION SIRJEANT, and Mr. ABILAHAMa conducted the prosecution. Mr. GURNRY stated the care to the Jury, which was afterwards more fully elucidated by the evi deuce. A gentleman belonging to the Apothecaries' Company stated the regulations for the admission of member., according to the Art of Parliament. 'flie Act provides that I'2 apothecaries should he chosen every year frown the Company, who should be sworn in , and constitute the Court of Examiners for the following year; and that no one should practise as an apothecary who should not have undergone an examination before this Court. and have been declared by them lit to practise as an apothecary. Mr. Watson. the Secretary to the Court of Elm millers, stated, that on the 27th of September. 1818. the Defendant, Thomas Benue', passed his exami nation before the Court of Examiners. On the 13th of flay following there was an entry (tithe name of Thomas Fox ou the minutes of the Court ati hav ing been present. There had at that time been sus picions in the minds of the Company that there lied been frauds committed. On the 13th of May, the Defendant, Bennet, presented himself as Thos. Fox, saying, " I am the person to whom your clerk has twice written to for practising without testimonials, and therefore am come to be ess iii i i led." Bennet then stated. that lie came from Burslem. in Staf fordshire; upon which the witness said, that the Company had had a trial recently at Stafford. and asked whether it had not been much talked of theri ? to which the Defendant replied in the affirmative. It snuck the witness that he had seen the Defend ant Lefore, but he did not recollect hint before as Mr. Bennet. One of the Court of Examiners also whispered to the witness, that he believed he had teen the face of the Defendsiit before. In conse quence of this conversation, and of these observa tions, the recollection of Bennet's person was more strongly impressed upon the memory of the witness than it otherwise would have been. Bennet produced the usual certificate, and testi moliialt in the name of Fox, went through' the exa mination under that name, and obtained the dip loma. Suspicion having arisen, the witness sod an other person belonging to the Company went to Macclesfield, where Bennet practised, and the im pression upon the witness, the moment he saw the Defendant, was, that he was the person who had passed the examination under the natne of Fox, but Bennet dusted it. • The witness related to him the conversation which had passed between them on the occasion, to which Bennet said, " Oh! that was Fox who said that to von."—" How do you know?" " Because he told me the conversation after his examination, and we lodged togetln-r at the time." The witness afterwards went to the residence of Fox, at Bunten), and charged him with practising with a certificate which had been fraudulently ob tained, and that he had procured • person to per sonify him, and undergo the examination in his place. This Fox strenuously denied, but he after wards delivered up the certificate under which he practised, in order to be re-examined, and to obtain a new one. The testimonials which were required by the Company, previous to the admission of a practitioner, were a certificate of good moral cha racter, certificates of having attended two courses of lectures on muteria needled', two on anatomy and physiology, two ou chemistry and botany. and • certificate of having attended at least six months the physicians' practice in some public hospital. J. Sayers, who belonged to the Beadel's Office of the Apothecaries' Company, corroborated the testi mony or the lust witness. Elizabeth Rice proved that the Defendants, Ben net and Fox, lodged together in her house during 1819, us Auden's in medicine. A letter of the Defendant, Bennet, was pat in, dated Macclesfield, August e l, 1820. In this let ter Bennet acknowledged that he had personated Fox, in order to obtain him the certificate, but said that be had reaped no benefit from it, but had done it purely from motives of friendship. I•le ex pressed his contrition for what he had done, and offered to ntrke r public apology; but deprecated a prosecution, as he said he had already paid dearly for his error by his loss of practice and character in Maccle4ield, horn the exaggerated rumours which had gone forth there. Mr. CHITTY made ■n able and most ingenious defence on the pert of Fox, and denied that there was the least evidence of conspiracy against his client. Justice BAYLEY summed up the evidence in a most perspicuous manner, and said, that unless the Jury were *att►fied of the full concurrence of Fox in the proceedings of Bennet, they must acquit both the Defendants, who might be indicted se parately. The Jury retired for hell an hour, and returned a verdict of—iliot Guilty. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER Q.S. Were Mr. Justice BrIT, and a Special Jury. •••••••••• LAWRZXCE V. ILICRDVIEN. This was an action upon a policy of insurance. Is the mouth of December, 1819, an insurance was effected upon • parcel of live stock, to wit, 30 oxen, 30 males, and 10 asses, on board t h e s hi p Ed war d , f rom C ur k to 11:arbadoes, with bbesty to touch at Madeira. On the 18th of Jamiary, the Edward sailed from Cove. On the 19th the weather came on squally and hazy • in the course of the d a y it i ncrease d to a Awry gala of win d, ' and about adikelght a sea struck the vessel with such force as to lay her forams neoseate upon her beast-ends. The stalls I. which liro cattle had bees dis posed, to p rev e n t the m from premiss avow each other, gave way; the shinsals were drives from side to aide by the roll log of the vessel; ..**hest morons, sit at ibis were found literally embed to piers After ender's( strum of weather front the 19th mufti 14w1h nrJeliliewhenwiwir which period she rolled away her mewiseia, We the reeler Part of bee mile end otandelpqpit:oti arilitred omishiorable in her lA, ' hie a pert of Cam • lay, neor Pentaire; at that time, of Ille TO head of tattle, 9 only, 3 oxen sod fl moles, were left alive. The I oxen diodes the followlag day, from the hurts they had received and one of the males died afterwards, on the voyage to Barbs. does. To recover the value of the cattle destroyed the present Fiction was brought against the owderwriters; lad The question turned upon a special clause in the policy, that the underwriters would not heliable in eaten, mortality. Ow the part of the Plaintiff, Mr. tearleit contended, that the saving clause as to mortality applied only to that mortality which arose from disease; and drew a distinction **tweets death occasioned immediately by the perils of the sea, cud death arising remotely out of such peri Is. The clause tread in the policy now in question was the same clause formerly to traduced into insisranees upon slave-ships; and in themes of "Jones v. Amen," let Teets Ileparls. the principle had been laid down for which he now contended. In that case &cargo of slaves twine insured from the coast of Guinea to the West Indies, ■ mutiny broke oat on board. Some slaves were killed in the crmdiet, some were mortally wounded, and died afterwards; and some, in despair at the failure of Meir at tempt, jumped overboard, or drank salt-water auto death. It was held that the insurers were liable for those who were killed or asorlally wounded is the scuttle, es destroyed by the immediate peril; lint not for the Ins■ by sobscquient suicide, that loss arising out of u cause remotely connected with the peril of nitetioy. In the present case there could be no doubt that the loss arose immediately from the peril of the sea, the cattle baying been literally crushed to mammy by concussion against each other and against the sides of the vessel. Mr. Gunore, for the Defentiast, desired first to state that the premium psid had been only 255. per cent.; and submitted to the Jury whether it could reasonably be sop posed that, sinless under some special condition, under writers would take cattle, which were liable in ■ hundred ways to mischief, at the same rate of premium which they receired for corn, timber, or any other species of dead stock. Even in the absence of the clause against lees by mortality, the insurers would not he liable for loss by disease ; and, therefore, if the especial clause lied any meaning at all, its nes-emery meaning must be to exempt the underwriters from all losses exempt loss by the effect of shipwreck. Without that especial clause a policy could not have been effected at less than 15/. per cent. A gentleman on the Jury observed, that the premium of tbs. per cent. was hardly a premium to cover a log of wood. Mr.Justiee Beer thought that the case was the first of its kind, and that it ought to he deeply considered. The pre -1111111111 paid, he uutierslood, was nu snore than would be paid fora log of wood, a commodity which could scarcely receive damage; hut he heard also that it was • premium which would cover corn, an article which might be damaged, awd upon which, when damaged, it was the custom to pay aver age. His opinion was, that the word " mortality" implied in the policy, at in common parlance, death by disease, or by any of those evils to which flesh is heir. If the clause was allowed to exclude death altogether, why then, supposing the ship to fill with water, and the cattle to be drowned, still the underwriters would not be liable. If the Jury thought that he was right in his opioion, and believed that the cattle had really died from the damage they received dories' the storm, they would find a verdict for Ilie Plaintiff. At all events, he (the Learned Judge) would advise them to do so; and if his opinion should be set aside in another Court, the De fendant should have leave to enter a nonsuit. The mule who died on his way to Barbados would of course be out of the question. Verdict fur the Plaintiff. Damages to be settled out of Court. OLD 8.411.1.. Y. OCTOBER 26.

Thomas Simmonits, aged 19, was put to the bar charged on an indictment with stealing 23 sheep, the property of Wm. Harding, Isaac Harding, and Thomas Searle. It appeared that on the 9. 0t h of June the sheep were safe on Cohlsoin Common, on the next day they were missed!, and afterwards traced to the pos session of Mr. Joseplo Watron, • grazier, at West End. Middlesex. This witness proved the put.. chasing of the sheep in question from the Prisoner. The Prisoner, in his defence. said he had put. chased them or his brother, and called • witsess to prove that money transactions had taken place be. twern them. The brother of the Prisoner was called by Mr. Broderick, for the purpose of corroborating the testimony of the last witness. It appears that this man is also charged with a similar offence, and will he removed to the gaol for the county of Surrey, to take his trial at the next Assizes.
