WM..CREASY DREW, A. 8., Rector of Sand rington* with EtabingfeY f and Curate of North Runeton, Norfolk; has, by, the awful visitation • of Providence,- which suddenly bereaved her of her husband, been r . left 'without the means of decent support for their Family 'of ten Children. She brought to her husband a' fortune, which, with • the addition of his Clerical Emoluments, was for a while compe tent to all their wants and wishes. But a series of misfortunes • gtadually impaired their resources. Mr. Drew's aged parents fell. 'into pecunia r y difficulties, front whiCh he relieved them by. a'. considerable sacrifice ; and during their last years they were en tirely supported by his hand.. His wife's portion consisted partly of property in shipping, all of which was ultimately lost ; and part was so circumstanced as to involve him in the. payment' of debts which did-not really belong to him. Other branches of the family drew upon the facility of his disposition for supplies which he could ill afford. He had become a party to a bond for a cOnsiderable sum, as the marriage-portion or a sister, which; it was calculated, would he her fair propoition of their father's property at his decease. :rhe father died insolvent ; and the boitd %Vas, after a partial remission, discharged by the son. BY-an almost unprecedented' devotion of t hemselves to the entire education of their children, Mr. and Mrs. Drew had avoided great expence : still, the above-mentioned cur tailments, and the exigencies of an almost yearly increasing Tinnily, Pressed bard upon them. In the year 1824, he resolved to'tueetthe pressure by receiving private pupils. Providence favoured his under taking beyond his hopes. He was-appointed to hold a small living, ( Or a term of years, for" the 'veryfrrst young man placed under his care. The prospects of the family now brightened. There was even a hope that continued exertion might restore them to the en j'lment of an independent competency. In the discharge of his duty on Easter Sunday last, Mr. Drew caught a severe cold-4m shtuning fever ensued he survived the immediate attack; but, his c ons tit u ti on was f ata ll y i n j ure d ; an d th e su dd en ru pt ure o f a l blood -vessel, on the .27th of November, in a moinent terminated I existepee. No relative of either parent remains from whoth the family can derive theannallest consolation or relief. 1 The following Gentlemen.—vie., Daniel Gurney, Esq., and 1 Charles Goodwin, Esq., of North Rimeton ; the Very Rev.

There were several opposed cases in this .day's paper, but none of those disposed of contained any circumstances of pub lie interest. . . IN THE MATTER OF JOHN IHUARAT. Mr. Murray's petition was heard at Dover, before Mr. Com- 1 missioner LAW, in the summer of 1825, when it appeared from his ' examination, that he had formerly been au Ensign in the 51st Foot, but was generally known as " Captain" Murray a'. Hatehett's, and other hotels. His opposing creditor was ?i r . Asprey, of Bruton-street, Bond-street, to whom he walk i n _ s y pistols, and other articles of debted in the sum of 1971. tbr horses and jewellery. The. d e b ts in his schedule amounted to 2,000/. Having sold his ( : , having been ' • Greenwood,o the disc ' alts agents, Messrs. Cox and Gnwou , , c , e o f a Y mi ll . for 5001., and part of the proceeds dpAZduts._';o.n. mili tary- debt, he applied the balance towar dn the payment le payment a ~ a d e bt of honour," of 9001., due tq a Lieutenant Lewis while to his bona fide creditors he paid nothing. He, how property, with several of his tf.adesmen as security far their i elairus. He further stated.. th at Greek gun be was entitled to a rever isionary interest in 10 ,0004 'York the death of a lady, and the ever, pledged horses, property was vested in trustees i b ut be had no copy of the deed in his possesslem,. • Upon its thus appearing that there would be property sutticieLt p A y all his debts, the creditors declined to preae for thejudgmeut of the Court against dm insolvent, who was therefore ordered to be discharged, upon filing au attested eopy , of the deed in the office. A ease, with the copy of the, deed, having been subsequently laid before 11r. Bell, of Linenlife-inn, by the solicitor - of Mr. Asprey, the Learned Counsel stated, as his opinion, that the assig nees took no interest under the deed which they could enforce against the trustees; it being wholly in their power either to make the , insolvent any allowance or not. Under these circumstances, a rule Nisi was obtained by Mr. HEATH, calling upon the insolvent to show cause why his dis charge should not be revoked, and his petition dismissed, on the ground of his having misrepresented the nature of his interest i n this property. _ . . . . Mr. Commissioner LAW was cleariy of opinion that the ilisol of no wilful rnisrepr eie nt a tio it, to th e na tvueinet u h f a t d h b e e d e e n ed g - u i I ty deed. The COURT, 11Rder these circumstances, discharged the rule.
