LAW REPORT, COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 1 4 . - A Motion was made, on behalf of the Proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre, to dissolve the injunc tion obtained to prevent their performa❑ce of a Farce, intituled X. Y. Z. written by Geo. Colman, Esq. The injunction had been obtained by some of the Proprietors of the Haymarket Theatre, on the ground that Mr. Colman was bound by his articles of partenership, with the other proprietors of the Haymarket Theatre, he 'being one himself, not to write for any other Theatre. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that before he would give his final opinion, he should once more read, over the deed in his closet, with the most scru pulous attention. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, lAN• 14. SPECIAL JURY. LESINGHAM V. FRASER AND OTHERS. This was an a6uion for money bad and received, brought by the Masterof Sir John Cass's school at Aldgate, against his Bankers, Messrs. the late Hon. Simon Fraser, Sir John Pert ing, Bart. and Co. to re cover a sum of 821. tos. alleged to have been paid them on his account, by the plaintiff, and the ap pearance of which, as a credit to the plaintiff's ac count in the Bankers' books, was attributed by them to a Mistake. On the part of the pLintiff was adduced, the.evi dence of two boys, of the ages of t 5 and 13,•wh0 in the year t 810, the time in which the sow in ques tion was alleged to have been paid, were the plain tiff's scholars, Their names were Payne and Linde; and Lord Eeeeeecteoncet observed, that the man ner in which they gave their evidence was so neetn barrassed and straight fortemd, as of itself to lead to no suspicion that their story was not true. They were per feat as to their recollection of the 24th of March having been the day on which they twice went to the Bankers to pay money for their master. The first time they paid in 371. the payment of which was al lowed by the defendants. The second time they counted over the sum of 821. los. in the presence of Mr.. Peacock, a baker, in Bishopsgate-street, who had. called to pay their master money. It was Linde's first time of being in a banker's shop, and be took notice of the quantity of dollare which one of the cletiis was counting; and observed to his compa nion, that the two which composed the- i os. they had to pay in would make two more. They took with them their master's pass-book; and the clerk, whom Payne afterwards singled out from the test, who was a gentleman of the name of Kent,wrote in it, and returned it to the boys. Mr. Peacock was re sent when the lads returned, and asked the plaintiff how he could trust them to pay so much money ? The plaintiff replied, that he,was in the habit of do ing so,, and shewed Peacock the entry in the pass book, to convince him that he had not unworthily reposed his confidence in them. Mr. P. confirmed the testimony of the boys, and added, that he paid 761. to the plaintiff on the 24th, the day in ques tion but it did riot appear whether any of this, moneyf ormed a part of the 8214 es. On the contrary, some notes indorsed "'Peacock," in his brother's band-writing, were produced by the defendants', as forming part of a subsequent payment of 241. is. made by the plaintiff to them on the 26th following. Strong in favour of an aelual payment to the de fendants by the plaintiff as was this evidence, yet Lord ELLENBOROUGH observed, that if from docu ments in the defendants' business it could be proved to be impossible to be true, the Jury would be compelled to disregard it; and to find their verdi& for 'the defendants. On their part were called, Mr. Kent, , and all the clerks implicated, who swore they never received the sum in question from the boys, although the fa& of their paying the first sum of thirty-seven pounds was recolleeted and admitted ; and it appeared by the pass-book which Mr. Peacock swore to have seen on the 24th, that the entry was not made till the 26th, on which day it was dated; and the defendants' clerks swore, that the plaintiff's name had been given to them by their principals, as having °verde-en) his account, and was written down by them to be kept in mind. Being thus impressed upon their memory when a cheque for 821. I es. was on the 26th paid into the account of another customer (Mr. Shenstone), they by mistake attributed it to the , plaintiff; and thus it found its way from their waste book into the plaintiff's pass-book, and their ledger. It was proved how Mr. Shenstone had received and paid the cheque just mentioned ; and the error was not rectified till Ire found that, it had been omitted in his account. The same sum could not have been also paid by the plaintiff, and purloined by any of the banker's clerks, without he had made three different thefts; one of the large notes from one dra wer,anOt her of the small notes from one partition of another drawer, and a third of the cash from the other par tition ; .and it was proved, that there was no error in the defendants' balance on that day.. Mr. TOPPING, for the plaintiff, rested, his valise upon the alternative, that if it were not true, the plaintiff had suborned three persons to perjure them selves, two of them ingenious and well educated boys ; and attributed the defendants' denial of it to a mistake, of which they were not conscious in the hurry of business upon 4•Saturday, as the 24th was ; and that, the Saturday before they moved their banking business to another shop on the Monday following. . The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. GARROW, for he defendants. The Jury' after retiring for some time, found their Verdid for the defendants. A series of experiments have lately been institut ed by the Patentee of British Shirting Cloth, which promise considerable advantages to the Manufac- . turers of this country. After repeated trials and variations of process, a method has at length been discovered of bringing Flax of English growth :o a degree of- perfection never before attained, and likely to produce a fabric, equal in finenesrand beau tiful appearance, to the most costly French cambric. This discovery at the present crisis, is of some mo ment, as it is calculated to supersede the importation of an important branch of French manufaetare.• +~ BIRTHS LIILI) LONDON: Printed by THOMAS WOOD, of No. 3s, Maiden-lane, 'Covent-garden ; and Published by WILLIAM A RMIGE R.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ' , TEEM/LIMES OF bURHAM COUNTY, AND THE INDEPENDENT FREEMEN OF DURHAM CITY, AND OF THE TOWN AND COUNTY OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE-UFON-TYNE. GENTLEMEN, I was much surprised to see, at this distance of time from the death of IVIr. Fox, an, advertisethent in the Courant of the 4th instant, for the first cele bration of . his birth-day at Newcastleupon-Tyrie. Amongst the Stewards, I ob•;erve the names of Sir Ralph Milbanke, Bart. Mr. Ralph J. Lambton, and Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart. I was for some tune at a loss to conjeaure the motive for this celebration of ,Mr. Fox's birth-day in the North of England ; for had the recolleclion of the patriotism of that most ." consummate" states manbeen as strongly telt by them as the virtues, integrity, abilities, and firmnesS, of that illuArious . patriot, the late Mr. Pitt, were impressed on the minds of yourselves and neighbours, who have an nually and publicly celebrated within, as it were, your own thresholds' his birth-day, they. surely would not have delayed this public mark of their approbation of Mr. Fox's conduct, and attachment to his principles until the year 18,12; but on pe rusing in a paper of this morning the " Party's" Address of Mr. Baillie to his Constituents, at Bris tol, the doubt I entertained was removed, and the reason for the intended celebration of Mr. Fox's birth-day, at Newcastle, became apparent ; name ly, that as " a dissolution .of Parliament was ex peded in the eesuing spring," it became necessary an attempt should be made to support the " waning" influence of the three Members before named, who are to officiate as Stewards on the occasion. This "dying" etTott of the remnant of the Oppo sition in the North will, doubtlessly, be as etittr.ll as the attempt was in the swing 01 - 1807 the re-election of the late Member for Northuinbet land, who, by his principles and condud, had given general dissatisfadion to his constituen•s ; and as Sir Ralph Milbanke, Mr. R. J. Lambton, and Sir M. W. Ridley, hare invariably suppbrted that Noble Lord throughout his political career, it would be an insult to your understandings to suppose you will give them . your suffrages at the next election, whenever it may take place. Under this convidtion, I am induced to recom mend to your attention the following extracts from a, pamphlet, just published, entitled, " A few Re marks addressed to J. B. Trotter,'E-q. on the scan dalous attack made upon the Charader of the Right Hon. William Pitt, in his " Memoirs of the latter years of the Right Hon. C. J. Fox ;" to which are added, strittures on the general tendency of the work, and a-refutation of the author's comparative estimate of those two statesmen ;" in order that you may continue justly to appreciate their respec tive characters. A FREEMAN OF NEWCASTLE. Coal Exchange, fan. 13, iSta. 0 PT " With resped to the talents of Mr. Pitt, he (Mr. Trotter) seems to have formed no settled opi nion in one place he assures ui that.this ever-to be-lamented statesman, whose tame is as far beyond the reach of Mr. Trotter as the canopy of heaven is from mortal grasp, " was unfit to be premier, and indeed inadequate to fill any considerable depart ment of the State." In the same page he asserts, that " Mr. Pitt, under the controul of an extensive and liberal genius, like that of 21r. Fox (credal Ju dceus!) might have- been a useful- minister of finance." Perhaps, however, Mr. Trotter did not understand the financial to be a " considerable de partment of the State." - Ai this, gentleman ap pears not to have made up his mind respeding the charther of Mr. Pitt, we shall endeavour to trace it for his perusal,. if he will close Euripides for a few moments, and study those traits which through remotest ages, bursting through the dark ness o the tomb, ,will shed an uni.erishable lustre on the son of Chatham: " In early youth Mr. Pitt wag looked up to by all parties, with the sole exception of Mr. Fox, as the rising sun in the political hemisphere; lie who' subsequently became his great rival, however, " was, at that period," to use the words of a cotemporary writer, " inclined very much to under Value his abi lities, and to impute to arrogance and pre;mmption that confidence which he afterwards admitted to rest upon the most solid and substantiA grounds. After the death of Mr. Pitt, in the discussion on the resolution of Mr. Cartwright for the payment of that illustrious statesman's debts, Mr. Fox unequi vocally asset ted his opinion of Mr, Pitt's greatness, and we would refer Mr. Trotter to his patron on ihis , oecasion to satisfy him that, however meanly he may hold the fame of the illustrious, 11 , 1 r. Fox displayed a more exalted mind, 4nd a readiness to bear testimony to the brilliant genies of him who steered the vessel in a dangerous ocean, and brought her safely through the rocks and breakers which threatened her crestrutlion—to the undaunted intre pidity and unshaken firmness of " the pilot that weathered the storm." " Mr. Fox's opinion of the talents of Air. Pitt, even in the commencement of this great mints par liamentary career, his anxiety to conciliate his friendship or to ktter his hostility, was sufficiently illustrated by his offer to include the young orator in the administration of which Lords 11 , ,ckinghatn, Shelburne, and Mr. Fox, were at the ,bead. In de dining •to become a' 'party in this coalition, Mr. Pitt, doubtless, laid the foundation of his fu ore greatness ; as the brief existence of this ministry afforded hail the opportunity to elicit those dazzling bursts of eloquence which gained him at once the, admiration of the people and the contidetice of his Soo ereign. " Th; uniform hostility displayed by Mr. Fox against the measures of his great antagonist,.if traced to their proper source, will be found to have origin ated in motives very remote from those which have been attributed to him-by Mr. Trotter and his • other friends, and we shall not travel far from,the truth when . ,,we take upon ourselves roundly to assert that his enmity arose from the rejiisal of Mr. Pitt to co alesce with his party in 1782—a retrial which was' not less galling to one than it was glorious . to the other. To a soul like that of Mr. Fox the wound was deep : Ms pride, his honor,his self- superiority had received an injury which was not easily to be ef faced•; and when, subsequently, on the ruins of this degraded minister's fortunes, Mr. Pitt arose to poWele the injury *tag rendered etetrial. From this period Mr. Fir( lost no opportunity to thwart his rival's projeets—to draw dot; n obloquy on los mime --=to. decry his measures before they had in vestigated, or even promulgated-..and, to hold him to public view as a minister w itheut patriotism, a politician without principle. • " On the introduction of Mr. Pitt's celebrated In dia Bill, Mr. Fox and Iris followers had marshalled. their objections to his plan b e f o r e i t h a d b een l a id on the table of the House. The torturing recolledion of the fate o( his owo measure haunted him, and his dignity was bun at the probability that a plan might be adopted, framed by one so much his inferior in years and experience., On the rejection of this bill . ; Mr. Fox's teal motives became evident ;. it could nu longer be concealed that. his opposition was mord connected- with personal and party .consideration t ban with that purity of principle for which he had ob•ained a limited cretit. The unshaken intrepidity &splayed by Mr. Pitt under circumstances of tanex ampled difficulty, defeated the intentions of his ene= rules ; arid an cppeal to the sense of the natititi proved that his ground was too firm to be shaken. " BuoMr. Fox did not confine his opposition to the acrimony of def.a , e; his active enmity was not to be letwred by tile common rules adopted by the partizans of faction ; his grand object was the dis lodgment of Mr. Pitt from the proud eminence on which he had been placed; - and, effectually to ac complish it, no means were considered too arduous no measure too personal; no attack too virulent.— Of the correctness of this assertion, o more striking instance tit in the follmVing can hardly be conceived. " In the year teof Mr. Fa .% kener was sent by the British Government to the cowl of ilessia, as Envoy Extraordinary, to induce the Etnp - ress Cathe rine to grant flivoorable terms to the humbled Ot tomans ; one of tbepi incipai specific objects of this diplomatic ,mission was the rescue of a tract of land between the Hester and the Den, on which stood the fortress of Oczakow, from the hands Of the Russians,. - as it was considered the. key to the Turk ish empire. Mr. Fox, on this ocuasion, ntit con tented with opposing the designs of his Govern ment in the customary and constitutional mode, re sorted to a measure altogether unprecedented in the history of party feuds, and unsupported by the coon_ tenance of a single individual amongst his pat liamett tary adherents. Mr. Burke has given the following account of a transaction which, in whatever light it may be placed, and however it may be palliated, (justification of it is absolutely out of the questiott) throws ,a stigma on the character of Mr. Fox which no subsequent a'onement could ever obliterate. The laws and constitution of the kingdom en t rust the sole and exclusive right of treating with fo reign potentates with the King. This is ap undis puted part of the legal prerogative of the Crown : -=. However, notwithstanding thi4, Mr. Fox, without the knowledge or participation of any one per,on the House of Commons, with whom he was hound by every party principle, in matters of delicacy and importance, confidentially to communicate, thought proper to send Mr. Adair as his representacive, and with his cypher, to St Petersburg!), there to frustrate the objects for which the minister from the CrOtAlil was authorised to treat. He succeeded in this his design, and did actually frustrate the Being's minister in some of the objects of his negotiation. This pro ceeding of Mr. Fox does not, as I conceive amount to absolute high treason! Russia, though on bad terms, not having been then declaredly at 'War with. this kingdom ; but such a proceeding is, in law, not very remote from that offence, and is uirdOubtely a most unconstitutional ad!, and an high treasonable misdemeanour.' " That Mr. Adair did go over to the Russian Court, and that in consequence of his unconstitution al interference, the treaty was tendered ,less favour, able to t he Ottomans, as they were obliged to sorrels.; der their claim to the tract and fortress in question, standS upon indisputable evidence; and, it is_equally certain, this strange step, was taken with a view to bring disgrace on his illustrious anttigoni.t, to Of prive him of the favour of the nation, and the confi dence of the King. On what ground of, principle the friends of Mr. Fox will a t t emi i t to justify this action in-his political life, we are at a loss to conceive. Viewed its its proper:light, it presents the cunning and malignant 'workings of a spirit torn by envy atad ambition, the frantic and absurd breakings out of as mind discomposed by pride and political madness. We are sorry to place Mr. Fox's conduct and motives in an unfavourable point of view.—We ate cobce toed to rake up the ashes of the dead to serve as fuel for our censnte—we Would• willingly have suffered this certainly great statesman to rest undis turbed in his - tot - sib, but the inconsiderate officious ness and'the ill regulated zeal of Mr. Trotter have dragged hiM trotn'hii slumber, and placed him one* more in the front. of the battle ;' and if his fame be wounded anew, those filen& who really loved him, and who best displayed their love by leaving his merits or demerits to be traced by the pen of the impart al historian, will have to thank the Secretary for the very singular mantmer in u hick be hasiivi, dated lsis debt 61grat nude so Ins patron:, [To be continued
