Defence-That the Plaintiff, 'Oben he putohased this Ship, had not complied with Me requisitions of the-Mt of Parliament for Registering Ships; &c.. commonly called Lord HawkeSbUry's Aft, and; that the Plaintiff could not be called the legal owner ; which appeared to be the case, the ,proper . indorsement upon the oath, Sc;c' at the CuStom-House not being made as the ka.required. This being the case, the Plaintiff could not recover for this loss, but as 'in this. case the policy did not attach; and as the premium was not paid into Court, the Plaintiff was entitled to recover that premium, Verdi& for the Pliiintiff—Damages 371.

COVRT OF COMMON: PLEAS, FEBFEBi 13. SEFORE LORD ALVANLEY. SERRES - AND ANOTHER.V.' STUBBS 'AND ANOTEIEIt. This AR;nn was brought by Sarah Sortes, and Augusta Charlotte Serres, the claughters . e#lthe late Mr. Series, Marine Painter to His Majesty, against Mr. Stubbs, Venetian Blind-maker to His Majesty, and a person of the name of Jellicho, a' Broker, •to recover darnages for having distrained for rent be fore the same was due, and for having sold their goods and property at a sum :considerably less than their value, or what- they would have produced had they been faitly sold.--. The Miss Serres, upon the death of their father, were desirous of setting up in business for the support of thernseltreS and their younger. sisters; with this view they took a house of the Defendant, Mr. Stubbs, in Oxford-road, At the rent of *U. per annum, which .they furnished in a very elegant manner, for the-purpose of letting lodgings in reduction of the rent. These Ladies' heei was to carry on the buSiness of Stationer s °andirrintsellers, with the addition of . selling those articles of fancy, of no intrinsic worthinthemselves, but the value of which depends upon the taste of the purchaser, and the merit of the artist. The i r shop was provided with every necessary article Of sta_ tionary ; a considerable quantity of fine prints, framed and glazed, portfolios of impressions by Bartolozzi and other eminent Masters, the *hole of which wag worth upwards .of.'six handfed pounds. The Ladies took possession of the house in October, 1799, .and gave their note for 501. in advance : of the rent, and by agreement they were not to be called upon to pay any further, rent till September following. When .the ;01. bill became due, they were not ready to discharge the whole of it, but they paid it, all but 131. for which their brother gave a fresh note. .:The Defendant, Stubbs, conti nued upon terms of friendship with the Ladies till the month of July, and frequently visited them ; but on the sth of that month, without assigning any reason; he put a distress in 'their house for a whole year's rent, pretending that the money which had been paid off, the 501. was ,for repairs. Under this, distress, which was three weeks kept in the house, the Defendant Stubbs, and Jellicho his Broker, took possession of every article of property these Ladies had in the world ;: and when at last they pioeured a, friend, who would have advanced the money, they prevented the interference of his good offices,-by sinuating; tlat - the - Miss Serres' were on the eve of bankruptcy ; and they then called in the ordinary Statute Appraisers, who valued the whole of 'the furniture, stock, prints, and drawings, at about tool. leaving, after &duffing the rent and expenses, - a balance of a few poundS coming to the Tenants, which however was not paid them. Having 'com mitted this att of opprgsSion, the greatest part of the goods were taken to Mr. Jellicho's shop, and sold by him..-=-The case having been sufficiently made out, the Defendants attempted to shelter them selves under the pretence, that their proceedings.had' been conformable to the direCtions of the Ad of Parliament ;- but is was so manifest the distress had been made before . the -rent was du e , t h at the Jury gave a v er ditt tin the Plaintiffs, with such damages as, upon a fair estimation of the value of the pro_ perry so imp ro p er l y taken from th em , i t should zp.. fear they had sustained. £ ORTUNE,TEL,LfJ' j IN consequenC4 of a complaint froth a number of respeiftable Inhabitanie the neiglibbiirhood of HaTpitead, At die .Public-Office, Bow street,. of th-if female servants and daughters being defrauded of their monel , by a worriart: in that neighbourhood, pretending td tell th e i r fOttunesi &c. and from a number of ridiculous stories she had told them, . their minds beitig much disairbed from the bt.liel that she dealt in witchcraft:,- yesterday this for_ tutee-teller was bought before Sii- Rick Alain FOkti, by Sayers, the Officer, who apprehended - her in a small house on the Hampstead Road.' He de, scribed. her residence to be frightful and disgust ing: She had in the same room with' her two owls, a jack-daw, and a guinea-pig ;- ekete were •sup.; posed to strengthen theidea that she dealt in witch. craft: A woman who-had been employed to have her fortdne told, said she went to the Prisoner's resi dence on the Hampstead Road the preceding Monday; when she entered hefhoUse, she told her she want ed to-have her fortune told. The Prisoner replied she need not ask her any questions, for she knew • .she was cone to inquire after a fair man. The Pri soner presented her Some, cards, and desired her to cut them, which she accordingly did; the Pri soner, after looking at the cards for'some time, told her she would marry the fair man she was come to inquire after, and in leSs than twenty-four !Tours she would receive a letter, which woUld bring . her some good, news, The Prisoner then p r eS en t e d : her with cards ornamented -in a very uriCommon manner,, and desired her to draw some of them . ; she drew three ; two of them contained - lions, and ; the : Other a globe ; the Prisoner told her those indicated that she Would' conquer every _ thing she took in: hand; and the Prisoner fur- d. ther said, that on the 4 th, 6th, and 14th of next . March; something very parti'Cular would happen to her, and if she did not take,great care. she would be,injured very much; that she. had two. sincere friends, ,and had three very great" eneMies. The Witne4s told the Prisoner she was engaged in a law,, suit; and wished t o k now if the P r iio n ef could give her any information as ,to the. event ; upon Which ? ' ,. _ pretendiiig : to make some calculations, - she told her; she, would be successful ; for.this she paid the Fri:. soner one shilling. The Officer produceda pack of playing Cards, and a numbef of other cards, ornamented in a very un..• common and frightful manner, some of them repre. • senting the devil, hell, ,&c. Tlu..Mag - istrate, on examining the playing cards; always cut the seven of dianionds. This, no doubt,- was so contrived, to deceive. the ignorant, to tell them she knew what card tbey would cut. The Magistrate urged her to tell . 1:1 - tere'slie"bought them; but he could not learn from her. A sheet of paper was produced by the Officer, ‘i , hich he found in her room. It contained, written instructions for pi-aaising her' deceptions. She was committed to the House of Correttion as . a rogue and vagabond. . , THE THEATR E. Often as the Tragedy of P;zarro has been represented,. it drew a very ntirne rous Audience to Drury-lane . Theatre last night, though it was deprived of the powerful support of ;,k r . , --•.•••••• - • - for Theatrical duty. The part of R o lla was, there, fore, assigoed to RAYmcitiO, who appeared in it fOr the first time. He very wisely followed the model Of KEMBLE, and though;of course, he *as much inferior to his able predecessor, yet he acquitted him se lf very respetiably i and made a good impres sion upon the audience. BARRYMOkE is also on the sick - list, and CAULFIELD was a very decent substitine for him in the part of Piziti-ro. Mrs. Yo . oNd, late Miss Blocs, was greeted by the Au dience very kindly, probably on account Of het re cent nuptials, and it was observed that matrimony seemed to have heightened the spirit of her afting. Mrs. SiDDONS resumed . the Charaaer of'libwira last night, hence we may account for the renewed traaion of the Piece ; : and her ading was so excel. lent, that it will doubtless confirm` that . attra6tion, particularly as the Drama itself is brought forward Kith more than its usual shew and splendour. • We have instances sufficient of late years of .the blessed effeds of Prkiate neap* als—We . could, state particulars, within ,the knowledge and recol-. ledion of thousands, which projie that they arc the . very hot-bed of crmi, con.—thi every ground of morality, of poliCy and justice, we trust the report oldie permanent establishment of a PrivzileTheatre is unfounded ; or,' if not, that the long arm of the Law will be able to reach it. If .such entertain ments are to be supported by Subscription, they certainly come within the letter of the'Law, for it is the same thing whether persons pay for their ad mission by the night or the season. Yesterday se'nnight, His Grace the Duke of HA MILTON and BRANDON arrived at his seat at Ash ton Hall, near Lancaster. • • Serjeant.RuNrriNcToN is a Candidate for the Advocate Generalship of Madras, vacant by the resignation of Mr. RANDLE JACKSON. We are very sorry to find, that the Fever. which has prevailed for some time in Leeds and other neighbouring towns, is still increasing ; and that it is not now, as at first, confined to the lower orders. On the evening of Saturday -sennight, as the Rev. Mr. Woodhard, a Clergyman from gedford. shire, Was crossing Smithfield, in his way to Isling ton, to meet the Chester coach, he was accosted by two men, who reqUested him to tell them what o'clock it was : upon his answering that he was in a great hurry to meet the coach, they attempted to take his watch by 'bite ;''but, resisting their at tempt, he knocked one of them down, and was at tacked by the other with a large stick. Two Gen tlemen and a Lady fortunately coming up at the time, - most certainly saved his life, as the ruffian made 06'; the other villain was . taken up, having his lip almost cut o$" by the blow which iVir. Wood hard had given him. Last Friday evening, as 'Mr. Gardner, of Castle street, Sr. George's in the East, was passing. through Crown -street, Seven Dials, he was knocked down by a tall man, in company with three others, who ran off with two small parcels, containini; , eropetty to a considerable amount, EPLIV.4URd FE3.

These persons hjdi.naually re..= ceivedanoney on the false Certificate 4 to the amount of upwards of 501. On Tuesday last Mr. SI-Lutr the Chief Mate of the Be;zgal, haprenrd to be at the Agent's when _some of the parties came with die Certificates, on which his signature was counterfeited so exadtly, that he should hardly 'have known the difference between them and his own hand writing; .if he had not been certain that there ‘ , .ere rio such persons on board- the ship as those to whom the wages were pretended to be due. After various se parate exarnioations, two of these persons, a man and his wife, wife, turned King's evidences, an d di sc O ve r e d person who l , ad forged all the, Certificates. The person was brought before the LORI Mayor on Saturday by two City Officers, I.v;h6 produced a : book found on him, and in whio was written an exaa copy of one,of the Certificates — in question, with Mr. Sharpe's signattire (madly imitated. This person is a young man, who pretends he was Broker:; and that he wrote the Certificates at" the desire of theother persons ; that he. knew not what they were; and had, received no money". The Wit nesses swore he got all the money which they re; ceived ; that they. were employed bi- ; that he used to give them ,a dozen of two of Certificate! . 4 at a time, and used to stop at a public-house untl they brought him the Money. All tlie reward they re ceived was two guineas and a silk.

The Jury, on a fooler day,, had given a verdia for the Crown.. The Judges were of opinion, that this liquid. was not an ex eiseable spirit, and-that the, verdika ought to be set aside ; but the judgment was postponed to a future day. 7 • The SOLICITOR GENtitAL contended Hungary , . water wls an exciseable commodity : the Alts of Parliament relating to the Excise applied to spirits of every description, except such as. were particu larly exempted ; and Hungary_ water was as much a spirit as any other spirituous . • Mr. Rous maintained the contrary opiniOn, and Observed, that in COnstruing, the Excise, Ads, with regard to their application, the word Spirits was • not to be taken in so general a sense as the tor-General was disposed to-give it ; true it was, that Hungary -water, -as well as rose-water, laven. der-water, citron-water, and many other perfumes, were, strictly speaking,. spirits, but not that sort of spirit to which the Excise Laws referred ; the word Spirit was to be construed according to its'ac. ceptation and meaning in common parlance; and in that point of view could apply only to drinkable Spirits. _ _ On the i Ith instant, the Lady of Sir RI eiIARD BP.MPPE joHNstoNE, Bart. of Hackness, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, was .safely delivered Of a Daughter, at his seat, at Woodhouse Place, Leeds. A new Novel, from the elegant pen of the Au-. thor of George Barnwell, has been some time in the press, and will make its appearance in the course of the present week, under- the title of Splendid Misery." The eleven footpads who have, been apprehended by the Police Patrole, were yesterday brought to Bow -street, and underwent a final examination. Four of them were fully committed for trial, on a charge of a robbery near Edmonton ; five of them were fully committed for trial, on charges for robberies in Kent and Surrey; one was admitted to bail, the charge being only on suspicion ; and one was dis charged. Five men, who had been apprehended in St.Giles's, on suspicion of robbing Miss DE CAMP last Thurs. day night, in Tottenham-court-road, were brought up for 'examination, anel Miss DR CAMP and her sis_ ter attended, but could not identify either of their persons ; three of then were, however, fully corn_. mitted for trial.on a similar charge,• and the other two were discharged. On Friday night three journeymen Lamplighters were charged at Bow street, with having neglected their. ditty in lighting lamps according to contradt. The Prisoners were employed to keep the lamps lighted and in good order, at so much a score but there was reason to suppose they stole the oil. They were sentenced to be it pris•Qued. three months in the House of Correflion.
