LAW REPORT. COURT OF KlNG's BENCH', MAY 17. LORD KEITH V. PRINGLI, E'Q. T N js was a Special Cue set down for argument, and the single question was, whether one eighth of a prize, taken by His Majesty's Force, under the command of the Defendant, under the authority of His Majesty's Proclamation,' belonged to the Plain tiff, or to,the Defendant ? _ Lord Keith had given orders for a certain De. tachment of Ships which were under his command at the Cape of Good Hope, to cruize off the Mauri tius : after the order had. been given, and before the prize was taken, Admiral Pringle, the Defen. dent; bad come to succeed Lord Keith, at the Cape but before his Lordship had returned home, the prize was taken ; and the question was, whether, under His Majesty's Proclamation, the One-eighth belongedcin this case, to the One or io the other of these gallant Officers ? The case, was ably argued by Mr. JARvis for the Plaintiff; and Mr. DANtriEK fur the De.. .fendanr. . . The CHIEF . 11;S-rice observed, that as the cast Nelson and Tucker, which was on a Writ of Error from the COmmon Pleas, was precisely similar lo this, and was now standing for argument, the Court would not decide this until that was argued, and consequently this case was ordered to stand over. Mr. ERSKINE moved for a Writ of Habeas Clr_ pus to be directed to the Keeper of Chelmsford Goal, commanding him to bring up the body of Edward ,Darrel, a Private in the Bucks Militia. He stated this person to be of good charaler, and one in whose case the Marquis of Buckingham took an interest ; 'the objet of the Motion was to bring this man up for the purpose of having him discharg.' ed on bail, if he should appear to the Court, from the circumstances of the case, ,to be entitled to the exercise of the discretion of the Court in his behalf. 1-le stood charged with a burglary, of which it was impossible that he should have been guilty, because he ,was not then within fifty miles of the place where the burglary was committed. The Court said, they would not try the cause neon the question of Alibi, but they would allow Mr. ERSKINE to state the circumstances of it. Mr. ERSKINE. said, there was no doubt that a burglary had been committed in the House of the Prosecutor, and that the goods mentioned in the charge, had been taken out of it by some three men—and one man and'a woman had sworn, posi. tively, that this man wai one of the three. The evening on which the house was robbed, was the Bth of, March last. Now, Mr. ERSKINE sdid ) in order to contradict this, he had thirteen affidavits of persons who were, all of them, at the dwelling. Louse of the Vrisoner's father, and all of them were with. him the whole of that clay, at Charlestown St. Peter's, in Buckinghamshire, and they swore, positiVely, that he slept at his father's house all that night—his father and mother joined in the affi. davit,. and this place is 14 miles from the place where the burglary was committed. The Prisoner was apprehended in consequence of having been with his Corps at Chelmsford, some time alter the burglary was committed. The CHIEF JUSTICE asked, if the Prisoner him. self joined in the affidavits, and positively swore that he was innocent ? Mr. Hass use said, he did not, but there could be no difficulty in procuring that affidavit, which was on a fad so clear. _ The Cat Elf JUSTICE then put it to Mr. ERSKINE , to say, whether he knew of any instance of this sort, in .which . the Court had interfered at all, unless the tarty accused had, at leait, made an affidavit -of ..... is own innocence ? . . . . . . Mt. jotice 9ROSIL said, there was not much at_ Mention to bevnid touch an affidavit. Mr.lasict ris said, there was no such affidavit at present, hut he would get such affidavit, and he would move it again. HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY, M 13. siroai THZ LOKI) CHANCZLLOK. SAGLETON V. KINGSTON. Tins was an application to grant a Commission to review the Proceedings' in the Ecclesiastic and Prertzative Courts, touching the validity of a Will, purporting to be the Will of a Mr. Jenkins, by which - the Testator conveyed the whole of his pro. perty; real and"personal, to Edward Eagleton, Miss Elizabeth Coventiy, and Mrs. Kingston to the exclusion ()film next of kin and of which Will the above Courts had refused to grant probate. The fads in the case, as appeared by the exhibits, and by the evidence produced, were as follow ; Mr. Jenkins, for a long time previously to his death, was a man wholly lost to society, destitute of acquaintance, and isolated from all the friendships of life. He lodged in Qacen.street, *elite, from whence he was daily conveyed to the Bedford Coffee-hruse, Covent.garden, where having dined in a room by himself, he returned again to his obscore abode. In the fcirtner part of his life he had been married to a very amiable woman, who having given birth to a daughter, paid the debt of nature. This daughter was married to a Gentle. man, named Tucker, who quarrelling some time after with the deceased, resolved never to see him again, or suffer his wife to see him. The fruit of this marriage was ++i3o a cLughter, who having iurvived both her father and mother, united her. self to a Gentleman of fortune and charader.— in this situation Mr. Jenkins wrote to his grand. daughter, expressing his affeetion, and intimating a hope, that as the bar to .their intimacy . was re moved, he should find an opportunity of evincing, some proof of his solicitude fur her welfare, and receive some token of affedian in return. The Lady, in piety for her father's memory, wrote in answer, that her father's dying injundion was, that she should never see her grandfather, and as he had, always proved a most affeCtionite and indul. gent parent, she would not insult his memory, or ita An ungrateful . , and undutiful a part, by disobey. ing his last request; she therefore begged her grand. kONDON: Printed by IItICI At ihtSuw-Orrlct father to ftsrget that such a person as herself existed, adding, that her best wishes would at all times accompany' his welfare and happiness. The old Gentleman, after making a suitable return to this letter, gave-himself up to despondency, and became that forlorn and destitute being before described. Some time previous to the year 1795, he met with a hurt in crossing the Channel from Calais to Dover, and being itt other respeds extremely in. firm, he hired Mrs. Kingston, who was the widow of a Medical Gentleman, to attend him in his ill state of health. Mrs. Kingston continued with him till his'death, and so well satisfied was he with her services and attentions, that in the month of March, 1796, he caused a Will to be made in her favour, which he cancelled a . short time afterwards, the Attorney employed having.drawn the Will adverse to his wishea. Another Will was, however, made in the May following, embracing his former wishes. A short time after this, Mr.. Jenkins became ac. (painted with Mr. Eagleton, the tea.dealer, and a Lady`who lived with him, whose real name was Elizabeth Coventry, but who, at that time, was called Mrs. lvers, the Plaintiff having himself as sumed that name. In the October following, a fortnight before the death of Mr. Jenkins, a Power of Attorney was executed to Mr. Eagleton, autho. tising him to sellout all the Testator's money in the funds, amounting to to;000l. Mr.. Jenkins, as set forth by Mr. Eagleton, having expressed a wish to assist Mr. Eagleton in his commercial speculations, and relieve him from the difficulties he then laboured under. For ine use of this money, Mr. Eagleton was to allow the Testator five per cent. A few days after this transaaion Mr. jerkins died, when Mr. Eagleton produced a Will, purporting to be the last Will and 'Testament of the deceased, by which the whole of his property was to be . divided tweets Mr. Eagleton, Miss Coventry, and Mrs. Kingston. The next of kin, suspeeting some undue Influence had been used with the deceased, insti tuted a suit in the Ecclesiastical Court, aliedging that Mr. E. had used an undue influence over the mind and body of the deceased, which Court, after hearing evidence on both sides, refused to grant probate, and the present proceedings were resorted to. Mr. ERSKINE ) Mr. GIBBS, and Dr. LAW. RENCE, were heard in support of the application for a Commission, and urged that the Courts below were compelled to grant probate, inasmuch as the Will in question was proved, to be the hand-writing of ehe Testator, by two or more credible witnesses; and however extraordinary the fail should appear, that could not alter the Law of the land, which was precisely on the side of the Appellants. Mr. RUMILLY, Dr. SUASY, and several other Civilians, were heard on the contrary side, and contended the whole transaelion was involved in fraud and suspicion. The Testator, they contended, never knew Miss Elizabeth Coventry by that name, and that the Will, though it should bear the semblance of the Testator's hand-writing, was dis, similar in every other respeCt, inasmuch as it was badly spelt, and ungrammatically draWn up ; de. feels which could not be traced in any other writ ings of the deceased. The Power of Attorney too that had been given to Mr. Eagleson, must be viewed in such a suspicious light as to , throw a doubt upon every other trantatlion he was engaged in with the deceased. The CHANC LoR, took a comprehensive view of the opinions . of the most able Writers, as to the evi dence required in proof of Wills, and drew. from them an invariable inference, that notwithstanding legal evidence of the hand-writing of the Testator was a sufficient ground of, inducement to grant pro. bate, yet that evidence, in all suspicious and doubt. ful cases, was subjeEl to the opinion of the Judge before whom it was offered, .and he was at liberty to approve or reject as his mind direded: Look. ing, therefore, at the case before him, he thought it too much to say that the evidence produced in the Courts below had indisputably proved the Will to be the handwriting of the Testator. tie should not remark on the improbabilities of the case, for where the hand-writing was doubtful, it was use. less to attend to other circumstances. The opinion . of the Courts below was, that the Will was not the undoubted hand-writing of the Testator ; he could not see, from any thing that had been ad. vanced in favour of Mr. Eagleton and Miss Coven. try, reasonable grounds for declaring that justice had not been done, or to induce him to advise His Majesty to consent: to'so extraordinary an aid in their behalf, as that of granting a Commission to review the former proceedings in the Courts below. It would be ping farther than he had to do in the case before him, and be the means of setting a very dangerous precedent, by no means favourable to the ends of justice. At the same time it was proper to observe, that the decision in the Courts below might not have proceeded upon the grounds of fraud., btit from a want of legal proof. The Power of Attorney, however, he had no doubt, was im properly obtained ; and though he was not dis posed to say'as much of the Will, yet it would not conduce to the ends of justice, were he to advise the interposition prayed fur. By the above decision the Will in question is set aside. A Woman was lately arrested at Berlin for the ,commission of the most horrible crimes. She first poisoned her Aunt, then her Husband,' and after. wards attempted to poison a Domestic, in which, however, she failed, and was discovered. Several packets of poison were found in her house, from which it was inferred that several other persons were destined to become her viftims. A very rich and abundant spring of petroleum was discovered, a few months since, on the borders of the Ligurian Republic. This substance is now employed, without mixture of any kind, in lighting the City of Genoa. It gives an equal quantity of light at one-fourth of the expence of common oil. It is extremely limpid, has a strong pun gent smell, and its specific gravity h to t h at o f water a* 83 to too,* and to that of ollve.oil as 91 to too. -lAN AN WMILL 01,-, (of Bow-Streets Oii/tut-Garden ) ; an * No. ;la., .14rand.; whet; iitivertisementr, Order: COURSE OF EXCHANGE.

Eight years have I devoted my practice to the exclusive treatment of Three Disorders, and the successful result of my plan gives me additional ardor to oppose, as far as I am able, the ravages of those Complaints which are the most important in the Catalogue of Human Infirmities. After initiation into every Branch, as an Army Surgeon, I formed a wish at an early period of Practice to rescue in diViiltrala front : the ignorance of uneducated men, or the equally dangerous precipitancy of general Praditioners. The Three Disorders, to the Cure of which I have de. voted my attention, comprise every species of VEN E. RE AI. INFECTION, whether of a recent or long du ration : adlY, All kinds of debility, whether arising from the habits of school:boys, or the induksemes of mature age: Anti, lastly, that derangement of tne system in wo men which is called 13 A It It EN N F.SS, or ST ERILIT Y. Numerous Diseases are the result of ignorance, or haste in the treatment of a simple Gonorrheea; and it not un frequently happens that the seeds of l.ite are poisoned by the indiscretion .of an unguarded hour.—By a superior me thod such Complaints are easily cured; and, even where others have failed, I trot that I may presume to oiler a radical re-establishment. Few, however, are the cases of complicated distress in this disorder, compared with the calamitous situations of Men, who,. from an indulgence in a solitary vice, or the prevalent gaieties of a fashionable lite, acquire that state of Debility, which is the unavoidable consequence of such pernicious habits. Where the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, but carefully conceals his misfortune, it may be some conso. lation for him to know, that although it be an object of doubt or uncertainty with other Praditioners, the removal of these Deficiencies by the gradual progress of ltenuva• tion, is the acquirement of my Experience. If the rites of Bacchus or Venus have began to- reduce Manly vigour, much anxiety will be prevented by an early Couuterac. turn of this languid - State; and in these cAses, no grrat difficulty will occur. But vilitre this Deficiency has for years existed, a prom perseverance is indispensably requisite to revive the slum bering Sparks of Lite, and to re -animate the Constitution. MARR I ED WOMEN, who have long been diiappointed in their expetlations of a Family; may be assured. that in most instances, such (Weds are curable by Medical skill. The secrecy which is so essential to my undertaking, and the qualifications which I have presumed to state, form . the basis of , my ,pretensions, and in coincidence with such this intimation is given, that Mr. Wee' may be consulted personally, or by Letters (inclosing a small Note), at his hot3se, No. so, Artindel• street.
