At four o'clock in the morning, the Guards were mustered in St: James's Park, and soon after fiVe they Marched off for Wimbledon Conimon, where they arrived a few minutes before seven: On their arrival they were regaled with beer And bread and cheese, which had been ordered for them. The Horse Troops Were regaled at the public-houses at Flttney, at 'the expense of the PRINCE. About ten the DUKE of Yoax entered the Heath, accompanied by General DUNDAS, and two other Officers of His Royal Highness's Staff. The Common was then clear, except. on the South and West, where two Battalions of Guards were sta tioned; all the other Troops not in sight. The DUKE of YoRK rode round the open part of the Com mon, and on his return met the DUKE of CUMBER LAND (dressed in the uniform of his own Regiment, the 15th Light Dragoons), in company with Gen. MANNERS. At halt after ten the PRINCE arrived in his barouche. His Royal Highness alighted from his carriage at the north extremity of the Common, and immediately mounted his white charger. The PRINCE was escorted to the ground by, a Troop of the Life Guards, and Ale Royal Dukes and the Ge neral Officers rode up and paid their respeds. About eleven o'clock the Line was formed, when a Royal Salute was fired. His Royal -Highness then rode up the front of the Line, accompanied by about fourteen General Officers,. the whole Line with arms presented, and the three Bands playing God save the King." The four Battalions of Guards were then marched off in different diredions across the Common, in order to commence the sham fight, the object of which was to attack the Enemy, who were suppoOed to occupy a position in the front of the inclosures on the northern extremity of the Common. As soon as the Columns reached the open ground, they formed into Line, and the Light. Infantry were sent out on skirmishing parties, in which they were very successful in harassing the Enemy; but on their return a part of the Troops were cut off, which being observed from the heights, a strong detachment was sent out into the woods. Bush fighting then commenced, in which about 1200 men were engaged. Owing to the superior tac tics of the Eng!jsh, the Enemy was dislodged ; and before the skirmishing ceased, each man had expend.. So rounds of pOWder. The skirmishing laited 20 minutes, and then the general attack commenced with field nieces of six-pounders ;‘ the reconnoitring parties had, - previously retreated to the main army. During the march of the British Light Troops, which were detached on the left for the security of their flank; they fell in with the advanced guard of a second CorpO of the Enemy, which had entered by the.KingF,too road: The attack - on our Light Troops was so well planned and executed, as to oblige them to retreat under a' very heavy ,fire from the Enemy. —PrOm the heights, •it was then discovered, that the Enemy 'had 'quitted their original 'position, and had concentrated their whole fe:ce in the ad vanced Corps detached from the Kingston road.-, Theit Tian of attack was direded against the left flank ; it therefore was judged necessary to form .a front to that diredion; which being generalled well, the enemy Was repulsed. In .consequence of this retreat, a second change' of position took place, and under the wing of the batteries, formed on the flank of the Enemy : the whole Line then advanced to the edge of the height fronting the Kingston road, but the Enemy had previously, withdrawn. A 'reinforcement arriving, the. Courage of the Enemy ; which began to abate apace, was again roused to 'action ; :-they advanced, and made a fierce attack upon the right of the British, which was forced, our Troops obliged to fall back; the Enemy pursuing; and . the retreat continuing ; but owing to Want of caution; and inattention in the out-posts, the Enemy fell into an ambuscade, and before they could form, a - ietrear, they were surrounded ,' all being made prisoners of war. The .whole of the firing was allowed to be ex tremely corked, anti it gave great satisfadion to the Pa NC E, the DUKE of YORK, and the other Getieral Officers. The firing ceased about a quarter past one, when the bugle horn called the men to muster in their several Companies. At two o'clock the PRINCE of WALES, the DUKES of YORK and CUMBERLAND, appeared at the Northern extre_ mity of the Common, where the PRINCE enter. ed, attended by a number of General Officers and persons of disrindion. The four Battalions of Guards marched off the ground in review before His Royal Highness in open files, one of the Bands playing the much-admired glee from Ossian, ." Strike the Hatp in praise of Bragelah." They neat formed a Line, and fired a :feu dr joye. His Royal High.. ness then departedi It was nearly four o'clock be fore the whole of the Troops left the Cortimon.— The Dula of YORIt gave the word of command. Among the General Officers were, GWYN/4, GROSVENOR, CALCRAFT, FINCH, GOLDSWORTHY, DUNDAS. The whole of the DUKE of YORK'S Staff were present. Two pair of Colours were tar ried before the Second Battalion of the 3d Regiment of Guards, who distinguished themselves so much in Egypt. The Colours are very handsome the word Egypt appears in large letters in the Centre. It was the first time of their being used. Among the Fashionables were ; the Duke of Sr. ALBANS, Lady MANNERS, Lady BROUCHTON, Lord and Lady OSSULSTONE, Sir CHARLES ASGILL, Earl Of CHATHAM, MI. ADDINGTON, Lord GLEN. BERVIE, Mr. and Mrs. DUFF, Mrs. DUNDAS, Mr. ARTF/UR UPTON, Mr. LADDROKEi Mr. NORTHEY, M. P. and Mr. FELLOWES: The iWI Dragoons kept the ground. The greatest order and regularity were observed, and, we are happy to add; no accidents happened. The pickpockets were as adive as usual ; they were divided in ga ng s o f fou r and six eath. After the Review, the PRINCE of WALES and his friends dined with the Duke of QtrEENSB'ERR Y at Richmond: '~~~ R~~~i~~o COURT OF KING's BENCH,. Nit r 4. SITiikOS REFORZ LORD ELLENBOROUGH IN OUILDHAii, LONDON. CLANVIEED ASSIGNER Oil 'MICHAEL PISKER, A BANKRUPT, eiaint EDWARDS. This was an action bicitiglo; the Assignees of a Bankrupt; to recover a Bill of Exchange, and several Articles of Goods, the value of, which was 12z1. in articles of jewelry. `Mt. GAF Row stated that this was an extraor4lini ry case; even in these extraordinary rimes. Fisher, the Bankfupt, whose Assignee the Plaintiff was, had the misfortune to be conCeimed with the De fendani,. Mr. Edwards, whci is a:jeweller in Lon don, and di s Count ed Bill s f or ' Fisher, the terms of which were, half in money, and half in jewelry goods, and then Mr. Edwards bought thein back again of him, at a slight loss, that was . to_say, at the loss, in some cases, of two shillings' per ounce, and in others, six shillings per ounce. 'This ended, as all these things must -end, in the bankruptcy and absolute ruin of the party 'borrowing the money: the time at which that ruin should take place,and be made public, depended, in 'a great meaSure, on the Usurer. Mr. Edwards knew the manner in which Mr. Fisher was going on “knew he must - soon be declared a bankrupt ; and, in contemplation of that bankruptcy, Mr. Edwards went to the house of Fisher,and took :away these goods, in order td help himself to what w as . d u e to him. He possessed himself also of 'the Bill of Exchange in question, and upon application to him, on behalf Of the Creditors, to deliver these things up, he, refused, and this .aftion was brought. upon that refusal, for the purpose of bringing this property to the use of the Creditors,. and then Mr. Edwards might go before the Commissioners, and prove 'his debt, and come in for his Dividend under the Commission ; if, indeed, his demand should. not appear to the Commissioners to be a little tainted by this self-same Usury. It then appeared, that the DeTendant had taken p6ssession of these goods in question, knowing that Fisher had committed ads of bankruptcy, he having frequently Concealed himself from his Creditors, de laying their debts, &e. and that_ as to the Bill of Exchange, it appeared by the evidence of the Bank rupt, Fisher, himself, that part ,of the considera tion of the Bill of Exchange, Was a discount partly in cash, and partly in jewelry, which he charged at eleven shillings per ounce, which was the credit price of that article in the market, the ready money price being-only nine shillings. That Fisher had been long in the habic.of discounting Bills with Ed.. 'wards, and generally took part in money and'part in jewelry, about half of the one and half of the other. Sometimes be worked up the jewelry arti, des in the way 'of his - trade, but frequently was Obliged to sell the gold, and that mostly to the Defendant, Edwards, himself, and upon which Fisher lost six shillings per ounce, &c. 1..0rd ELLENBOROUGH said, that if there was any Usury in any part of this case, it , tainted the . whole, of the transalion to which 'it referred. Such was the case here, as it applied 'to this bill of Ex_ change, for if in discounting . this, Edwards gave part in goods, and c h arge d for such goods the credit, instead of -ready money price, that was Usury in discounting ; for discount, in its nature, was ready money, lent at the rate' Or price of *live per cent., but here was discount ; 'and, instead or good's of the same value as ready moneyi goods were given of only the proporti on o f n i ne to e l ev e n o f ready money, and that was clearly Usury. As to the goods taken by the Defendant in contemplation of bankruptcy, they must likewise be brought to the use of the Creditors. The consequence of which must be; that the bill of exchange must be delivered up ; .and as to the goods, a verdkt should be given for their value, since the Assignee could not take them to be used in trade.-- - -VerdiEt for the Plaintiff ; damages 1221. the Defendant undertaking to deliver up the bill of exchange. +URSDAY, JULY 20; ASTERBY ;U. RIGG: Mr. Grass said, that ,this, was an Aaion for Slander, of a sort which, he believed, the Jury would animadveit upon very severely.—Wh at one man might loosely Utter of another at an alehouse, was not to be regarded in any very serious light ; but this was a serious case, for Mr.-Rigg charged the Plaintiff, Mr. Easteiby; with a clime which, if proved, would cost him his life. Mr. Easterby and Mr. Rigg were formerly in partnership in trade together : foi some dislike or Other. Which Mr. Rigg conceived against Mr. Easterby, he had wantonly and malidiously, and with great 'perse verance, uttered very - slanderous words of Mr. Eastetby; who had formerly lived in Sunderland. He had said, that while he was there he had mur dered an apprentice ; and that he could hang him for that murder;--These words were spoken, not once or twice, but in the presence of many persons, over and over again repeatedly. This was an im putation of the greatest crime he could commit. He understood Mr. Easterby to be - a than of an irreproachable life and charader, and he asked a Court of Justice to protea him in the possession of that charmer. The Defendant had not attempted to justify these words, and it was for the jury to say what they would give to the Plaintiff' as Da mage§ in this case. • , . john Overton said, he knew both Plaintiff and Defendant. The Plaintiff was a Ship-builder when he worked for him. He was a man of very cor reet and respeaable charaaer, as far as he knew : he had heard a great deal of abuse and quarrelling between Mr. Easterby and Mr. Rigg before last Christmas.—A great deal of discourse between them.— . —He heard Mr. Rigg call Mr. Easterby 44 a bloody murdering villain : that he murdered his apprentiCe in the North, at Sunderland." Lord ELI: , ENBOAOtiG.Er said, it was not averred in the Declaration that the Plaintiff had any ap prentice, and therefore this was not a charge spd cifically.coniplained of. The Witness then said, he heard the Defendant gay; that the Plaintiff left Sunderland for that murder, and durst not go hack again; saying to the Plaintiff, " you are a rogue and a thief, and you dame hanaingi and I tan hang yr.n4 any day." - -- te" le ness heard ti its r <pen ); titter, day; a rriOntli• before Chii,tinas and afierwai-di:, These words were often spoken so loudly, that ani bocly niight hear them as they past, in the street. Mr;, Rigg often hallooed out to Mr.. East:erhyi " murdered your apprentice."-This was in a itib!id place, called Lavender-wharf at RotherhitlT; Mr. Easterby and Mr: Rigg carried on. bUsiness ai partnekS together; Mr. Easterby used to laugh at Rigg when he uttered these Words; saying hi ought tb kno* better.;—Whenever they 'bet the r quarrelled: Easterby said to Rigg that he was A fool, and that his brother, Sutton; was a person who wanted to secrete property froth . hii Creditors that Easterby assisted him in secreting effeCts from his Creditors . ; and Sutton has since. becorife A .bankrupt, an t i E as t e rby said that 'he *anted to secure .his own property:: Another Witness proved to the Sank effect: Mr. GARROW said, that this Was a low vulgar quarrel quarrel between t wo persons who, froth their language . resembled Hackney-coachmen, accusing each 'other of Crimes as a thing of course, for which, if they were guilty, they should be hanged; Out nobody believed a Word of What they said, and therefore, it would be ridiculous to treat the case as .a Serious one by giving any but nominal Da:. mages. Lbid ELLENEdttpUGH said, that this was zt case of, no very serious complexion: Here were two men extremely foul:mouthed, .uttering worth which were a great discredit to both, accusing each other of capital otterices—The words Complained of by the Plaintiff, were proved to b e u ttere d b y the Defendant ; but it did not appear that . the Plaintiff had any apprentice at Sunderland; so as td• fix upon hiai any definite charge z if it had, his Lordship 'said, he should have advised the Jrty td give serious Damages.---But here .was a quarrel between two persons 'of very coarse and bad be.: haviour; <neither of whoni was .erititled to any fa... your or encouragement in this case. Such .actions as this ought to be discouiaged, and he kneW no better way to accompliSh .that object, or so likely to be effectual, as that of making it as pmal as possible on both the , parties, 'that was to say; to make each party pay costs-tea shilling Di_ triages would answer that purpose. HoWever, the fury would consider 'whether any other sum would be fitter for the ends of Justice. Verdin for the Plaintiff, Damages one shilling.
