' t ,un der the part of the Defendants, the Sorocivoa- CHIRAL stated. and it appeared, that the deed hquestion was not executed without the most ma re deliberation and approbation of all the parties. se Plaintiff gave various dire6ioas about it, and . %nosily dilated several alterations in the drafts which were made in his presence, and afterwards approved of by him, and it was well understood that 1 his intention was to convey all his property for the ne6t of his wife and children, he having procured lucrative employment for hinaseif, at Yarmouth, , fully ample for his support. The American stock was not his own property, but his wife's, part of whose marriage portion was laid cut in that manner. e further contended, that the interests of the chil dren being involved in this question, the Court of . 4 t.quity could not compel the Trustees to deliver up the deed. • The Lost, CHAT/CELLO', in pronouncing his tadgment, observed, that if any fraud which appear lird in this case was committed by the Plaintiff him self, io endeavouring to impose on the Court by mis representation, 'on what grounds did he claim the indulgence of a Court of Equity f His Lirdship was called no to cancel this deed, on the footing of fraud and imposition. The deed was executecrafter the Iv eatest deliberation, and it is said that the Plaintiff afterwards cohabited with his wife. He remained seven or eight day. in town after its eze cutior, and, wonderful to tell, he was found with his wife during that period.

CMIL SIDE. IMINZR N. DUNLOP. - - - This wis the ode cause of iMportance tried dur ing the day. Mr. GAIROW, in his address to the Jury, told them it was one which called for their serious atten tion, inasmuch as it involved a question upon the security of their civil rights. The Plaintiff was a man rather in a 'nimble 'insides of life, hiring the keeper of the Canteen at Colchester Barracks ; the Defendant, he was ready to admit. must be a gentle . man of respettability, inasmuch as he bore the rank of General in the army ; and at the time of the aft ao* is queition, bad the command of the garrison at Celehetter 3 but it seemed he had no very cornet ideas of the extent of his military command, for be chose to conceive that all within his garrison, wise. dew soldiers or not. were sohjea to his power. In this, however, the Jury wenl4 teach him that he was . mistaken ; and it was important for the preservation of their civil rights, that they should give the Gene ' sal a torero lessee) for she conduct he was about to state to tfien.—h happened en the *6th of May lax; the General dreg being on parade, he sent for the )3efentlant to some to biestfireftly ; the Defendant being then in ad. not et, as he thought, to ap pear before the Gravel, seat his respeas, and added, that he would come ditedtly, and imme diately set abut changing his clothes: his answer. however, being reported to the General, he sent the orderly roan with dietitians immediately to bring him, and kick bite all the way before him.— This might be striftly according to the rules of mi. teary discipline, but it was not the way in which civil process was allowed to be executed. The man. hewever. did appear, and then the Genoal began both ors accuse and abuse him, and said, he would try biro by a Court Martial. The Plaintiff begged to be heard in his defence ; but receiving no pennts sicm to justify himself but before a Court Martial, be did vesture to hint, that being no soldier, the Court Martial had nothing to do with him. The General, on this bare hint at a doubt of mili tary authority, immediately sent for a guard, and committed him to custody, where he was kept from the Monday until the Friday following. on which latter day, the General finding he had abused his power, did condescend to let him go at large. It was for this injury he appealed to a Jury of his countrymen, and he felt lull confidence that be should have ample justice at their hands. Ewen Cameron stated, that he was orderly-man on the ifith of May. By the Brigarte.Major's or ders. he went to fetch the Plaintiff to come to the General on parade. The Plaintiff said be would come direttly, as soon as he could change his cl. , t!iis. When the Witness repeated this answer to the General, he repliede-ei Why did not the rascal come direaly ? Go again, tall him to come di ' entity t you would k*e done righ t to have kicked him all is. way before you." - In about ten mi nines the Plaintiff did come, and the Witness re tired out of hearing. aid could not tell what was the conversation; be, however, raw the General was angry, and he beard the Plaintiff say, o Sir. if I have deem any thing wrong. I am sorry for it." He oeet heard the inain-roard called for. tied saw a file of men take the Muni!' anal is emseedy. Was. Legit. Brigade-Major, delivered the Gene. rani orders to the last Witness to fetch the Plaintiff. The Gametal was very angry, as complaints had been made vim Fisher for keeping his canteen open after the that bestial; at nine in the evening. in coasemseme of which the soldiers got drunk, and were frequently rbsiag. He threatened Fisher to try him by a Covet Martial. but the latter behaved rather impertinently, and would keep on talking in his justification. At length the General called tor the niain.guard. and sent him to the guard-house. William Doody, Saddam of the Guard, proved that the Plana was heateglst in custody, and re • maimed natal the Friday. Oe moss examinatian ashes* witnesses, by Mr. iswjeaat Base. it appewted oho nom bad kept his contras open after lie reader Mars. bet:Loris& Aniline soy is the cause, stated, that he en the General she raorsimg alter the man was on cestodl • teed temtessed his liberaten. The Umbersl said be would try him by a Court-Martial. The Witness ield hie the Plaintilwas not a soldier. Opand was net sobiett to Martial Law. The General sapbsed. he would send to Laudon far so opiuioo . • upon that poied,ond would keep him, at all events, until he got as answer. Three Witnesses were then called, who proved e great inconvenience the Plaintiff had, sustained in his business by this imprisonment, particulatly, that two regiments which he had messed had marched sway during the time, and he had had no oppor- Altai y of colleting his debts. Mr. Serjeant Bur, for the Defendant, admited * verdia must go against his client, but the damages should be but Atnall, as he "aped entirely from an „th error of judgment ; he having erroneously supposed that the Plaintiff was subjea to be tried by a Court , Martial ; but the moment he was apprised of that being an error, he released him. The Learned Serjessot then commented on the improper conduel of the Plaintiff, which tended to subvert all military discipline, by promoting and encouraging drunken nest in the soldiery, and trusted the Jury would think it was a case for mere nominal damages. I . 1 . Mr. Justice FIZATU observed to the Jury, that every person who held a situation of power .. bound to know the limits of his authority, and responsible if lie stepped beyond it. If, however, a. man was doubtful as to the extent of his authority,' he ought to consider whether what he was about to do. was consistent with the dilates of natural jut. tice. It appeared that there were complaints uiged against the Plaintiff ; it became then this General to make inquiry into those complaints, and give the accused isetrion an opportunity of being at least heard in his defence ; instead of which he would not hear him at all. If he had really been doubtful of die exeot of his authority, he had no occasion to send as far as London to remove his doubu ; there were Gentlemen of the Law at Colchester, who could have given him the necessary information. The Jury found a verdia for the Plaintiff, da mages 501. CROWN SIDE. DVEL ON GALLEYWO9D COMMON. John kt4her, the principal, Guy Camphed, and John Blames, the seconds, were arraigned on the Coroner's Inquest (the Gland Jury having thrown out the bill of indiamen for the.mutder of Remy Torrence, on the 22d o f' March last, at the parish of Chelmsford. The parties to this charge were all Officers of the 6th Regiment of Foot. and the deceased, • Mr. Tor rence, was a Lieutenant in the same regiment, who fell in a duel, as was supposed, with Mr. Fisher. The first Witness called was Constantine John Day, Assistant Surgeon to the Regiment. Before.l he was sworn, he begged leave to address the Court, which being granted he, said—" My Lord, whoever. were the parties to this unfortunate affair. I am my. self so deeply implicated, that i cannot give evidaoce consistent with my own safety." ' Loan Cater Ilaaosi—" 'Then, certainly, Sir, you same* be examined to your own accusation." Richard Prestos deposed, that the deceased, Mi. Torrence. came to his room on the evening of the, -: list of March, and said, that he had that day nisi& ed Lieutenant Fisher on the Parade, by striking him, and calling him a coward. The Witness endea• Toured to allay his irritation, and persuade him to retrait the expressions, and make an apology to Mr. Fisher ; but he sent for his pistols, and went away. swearing he would shoot Fisher if he dared to meet him. He knew nothing of the duel boa from mom The servant of the deceased was Om examined. i He stated, that his master, on the night preceding I his death, sent him with a letter to Capt. Cameros, and appeared surptised that he brought no answer'; for he immediately piston his sword and sash, ailys. 1 reedy is great agitation. and went out. Just at the doer he met Captain Campbell, aad they went away together. the next morning he heard his master was shot. and he went upon the ground. He there I found him extended, and wounded in the groin. He said, "Oh. Richard, do not come near mel" that was all he said. for he died in a few minutes after, and did not tell the witness who bad done it. The Loan Cater Balms told the Jery there was so evidence whatever against the ptisonere. They were accordiugly— Arcata. Janus Hock and "Waco h icons were convilfed of bigamy. There was nothing singular in their cases, the prosecutions being at the instance of the parishes to which the first wives were left chargeable. The Loan CHIEF Balton finished all the busi seas on this side on Finlay evening. and left the town. CIVIL SIDE. SATURDAY, lace 26. Mr. Justice HZATH finished on this side before breakfast; there were but two trilling causes re maining, in which the last, Leach v. Wilson. was en adios to recover 101. which the Defendant had given the Plaintiff in change for a Norwicb bank note. It afterwards turned out that the note had been paid thirty years ago, and the Bank had long ago dissolved. The only evidence to prove the case was the Attorney for the Plaintiff, who stated, the Defendant admitted to him that he had paid the Plaintiff the note in question. Mr. Gasaow, in a very ingenious speech, de precated the danger of admitting this species of testimony. The Jury, however, found a verdia for the Plain tif. . The Aiettes concluded. On Friday. a greed match of cricket was played, between the Officers of the Royal Horse Guards, and the Young Gentlentea of Eton School, on their play ground. After the match, the Officers enter tained the Young Gentlemen with a sumptuous din ner, at the Christopher Inn. On the 20th instant, a seise party of the Society of Cumberland Youths, from London, assembled at the Saxon Abbey Church of St. Lawrence, at Waltham (built by wing Haecitio, about the year 1060). aad completely brought round 5,056 change. of that musical and intricate peal of Ox ford treble bob, major, in the time of three boors and sixteen minutes, to the great astonishment sad .admiration of the inhabitants of that.town, ;ail sue. founding neighbourhood; and the first peal weaning 4S these new peal of eight bells, by the following artists. it Mr Lienrge Grnel trebl.

LIN Chapel, one of the most notorious sharpers on the-town, of upwards of thirty years standing, was brought befo re Sir DANIEL Wattaus, the Sitting Magic:rate, charg ed by Riven, the Officer, with being concerned with. the well-known James Lowe, in defrauding Mr. Ro bert Jones. of Banner, near Laolsaugli, Denbigh hire. of between 80 and 901. about two years since. It appeared, from the statement of the Officer, that Mr. Jones was decoyed into a public-house, in Southampton-buildings, Holborn, by the Prisoner. lam was always dressed to have the appearance of a esllesman or farmer. They were soon followed by Lowe, who ailed the past of an ignorant former ; rho, in a short time. commenced gambling wish the Prisoner, at the old trick of chalking under the hat. Mr. Jones was persuaded to join them in wagers, and he proved the winner at first. They continued laying wagers, till the above large amount was got from Jones,•into the possession of Lowe, when he pretended to have occasion to go to the door; but not returning, Mr. Jones went to see after him, aid, in the mean time, the Prisoner set off. The Prisoner requested permission to be sent to his old favourite quarters, New Prison , Clerken ,well ; which the Magistrate complied with. He Ls about 67 years of age, and is an old pea (com panion) of the well-known Doclor Mersa, who is how in Newgate, under sentence of transporution, for a similar offence. The latter is 70 years of age. Rivett met Chapel, by accident, in Charing-cross, aullatorday morning. MIAL11011101:101 1- iT a LET. On Saturday morning, Mr. Bleese was brought .before the Sitting 14.gistrate, from St. Pancras Watch-house, charged by a watchman with be having in a disorderly manner, the night before, in Wilmot-street, Tottenham-Court-road, and, con. ~ t eary to the statute, breaking one of the public lamps. The watchman stated, that between eleven and twelve o'clock the night before, he satirthe Prisoner, • with two other Gentlemen, walking up Wilmot- I street, hollooing out, and makilig a considerable' noise. When they Mere about fifty yards before him, he beard a lamp broken, and he immediately sprang his rattle, and ran to apprehend these gentlemen, as he was convinced it was one of them woo broke it. At fist. they all made off as fast as they could; but some other watchmen. coming up, they slackened their pace, aid he was enabled to apprehend Mr. Bleese, and bring.him to the watch-house, w.iere he (remained theentire night. On the part of the Prisoner, one of the Gentlemen who was in kis company appeared, and stated, ptbi tively, that Mr. Bleese did gist, nor, in fat, could not, have broken the lamp, it he had no sti:k in his hand ; for himself, also, he declared he did rot break it ; but, with reaped to the other gentleman, who was not then present, be could form no judg ment whatever, whether he did or did not do it. Tbe MAGISTRATE said he could not, on the pre sent evidence, imprse any fine on Mr. Bleese, who, therefore, should be thief arged ; but if the Inspeetot of Lamps pleased to proceed against the Gentleman who had not appeared, and could procure better evidence, he should have his notes. Mr. Bleese said, he had been locked up all night in a dark stinking room, and he conceived he had been very ill treated. DUBLIN, JULY 22. • QUARTER ASSEMBLY. After prayers, and some routine business had been disposed of, Mr. Car Aa n rose to propose certain resolutions, relative to Sir John Newport's EleSion Bill. Alter travelling over all the former grounds of argument against this Bill, be particularly in sisted on that clause, which made it mandatory on the Common Council to admit any person * duly 4mk. claiming the freedom of the city of Dutiliss, in one calendar mouth after the preference of such'a claim. He said, that if such a clause was suffered to pass into a law, it would operate a deadly stab to the privileges of this loyal and ancient Corporation. After pronouncing an eulogium on the Recorder, under the authority of whose op pion, and by whose special advice he aged, Mr. Gilfard concluded by moving two Resolutions, the first expressive of the opinion of the assembly, that the rights and char ters of the Corporations should be preserved invio late ; and the second intimating that Sir John New pores Bill would be au infringement on those rights and privileges. _ _ Tie Rainsioar. stated the substance of the Bill, which, he said, was put into his heads by one of the Members for Dublin. lie contended, nearly on the same grounds assumed by Mr. Chair& that if it were passed into a law, "it would prove highly pre judicial to the interests of that loyal and respeaable Corporation. Mr. Huvrom said. he bad no objei%nn to the Resolutions, yet he contended that Sir .John New port's Bill, whom Mr. H. very justly charalterised as one of the best friends of his country. a man who a . he siuba into ofirre tonfbried more sterling service on Ireland than she received in a long period before, was to enlarge doe franchises of the subjeet, and to reader Corporations something more respea able than close Boroughs. Aher a few words troop Messrs. Ring, &teems, M'Cready, and Benny, the Resolutions' were put and carried. Mr. Give ARO moved a vote of thanks to Colonel Birch, the pastry-cook of Cornhill, for the attire part which that officer took in the Corporation of London, when the Constitution in Church and State was threatened with overthrow and min by the P. gist Petition !! The Colonel most perrierire4 stood forth as the advocate, VII that occasion, of the Protestant Ascendancy in eelaod. This Assenahly then voted hint the treadmill:if the city, but most unaccountably it was stifled by the Board of Alder men. He coneleded by the usual motion in seek Mr. Murton did writ use why the city of Dublin should be so liberal of their thanks and freedom nn every occasion. fie thanOt that Col. Birch had nn necessity for °breading himelf on Irish affairs.— lie k sew nothing for which tbst‘heattitioun was re. markabk, but for the nrct kvrei{ii. seep. He should therefore give his negative to the motion. The Resolutions we put and carried. . NATAL IkTELLTGENCE. • PLYMOUTH, JULY 24.. Sailed the Crescent frigate.
