THE THEATRE. I's iC 'Y Drury. Lane. The. Comedy of The ilferg TrIVeS of Windsor was last night represeuted 'at -this. Theatre, • and •Mr. PARts:tt, for the first time, apPeared in• the Fat. staff Of this'Play. He supported the chatatler• in a forcible and • effedive manner, without aiming a( critical niceties. The Audience seemed to be very • well Tatiified with his representation, Which had 'slue% solid merit, though it had nothing of .strik.:- . .,logeeellence. In •,, one respell we thought hinwrong 1 in some Passages his voice: was very loud and strong, and. in Others squeakini and (womanish. ,If Fahtaff lungs possessed so much . vigoar as to enable him to give 4,ritorian tone's, his voice would not, the moment after, have deviated - into an effeminate whine.:; This 100 was the fault with HENDERSON, who, ideed, his ni ts. throughout the part, chuckled .iiise an eld rusotnan.

Both parties were stated to be very respectable persons, and the difference arose between them upcin the mode in which Mr.' Lister. , Was' 'to'pay for an estate whiCh he had purchased,. and .which Mr. 'Woodal had sold to him as a trustee, &c: -Mr. Lister having offered to pay . in Notes, payable at different 'Country Bankers, and .Mr.-Woodal-re. quiring Bank of .England Notes, or Mr. 'Litter's own Notes, payable imMediately, to save the trouble of presenting them at the ditfertYnt Banking HoUses in the parts of the Country where the Notes offered by Mr.. Lister were made payable; on which Mr.Lititer conceived 'his honour doubted, and warm language .took . place, and something like a 'chal lenge. The Title Deeds were' not delivered .up as expelled .by the : Purchaser. , The mat ter .was then dropt between the Parties, until Mr. Woodal wrote to Mr.. Lister, . stating, that he expeaed an 'apology : from Mr. Lister for his miscondua, and saying, if it was not.made, he shpuld introduce Mr, Lister to the Court of King's Bench. To which Mr. Lister returned for an_ swerobat he was astonished at 'the .proposal, and that: he thought Mr. Woodal Would, on refleaion, be 'astonished at it himself ; .and. insisting . that the apology ought to have come from the person who demanded it, &c. :—that if.be, Mr. 'Lister, had done any thing , amiss, .he would be' ready to make an apology for it, but insisted on it t h at he ought not to be the first, &c. . . „ . . Mr. Justice LAWRINQE, who was :she only Judge in Court when the first part of . the Case was .stated, having communicated it to his Lordship and the other Judges, observed to , the Leained Serjeant, that he had related the Case to my Lord and the other Judges,,and they agreed with .him in thinking that Mr. Serjeant Cocxt LL's Client re newed th,e. dispute himself, by his last, Letter, and thrtr,hut for such renewal,, the whole matter would have been at rest, and therefore this Motion should .not, be granted.' , . . Lord ELIANBOROUGH --. " This is entering con tinuances ort'an old expired affront." Motion roltised.' . SPOONLIt-ANI) OTHERS V . .JiIiaRPER AND 9THRItSO Gmotow moved for a Rule to shew Cause why there, should not be a new'grial in this . Case. lew.as tried before his. Lordship at the last Sittings at Guildhall, and there was a Verdia for the Plaintiff's. It would beunnecessary to trouble his Lordship for the report of the Trial,. for s Mr. GARROW said, he could not find any, fault with certainly it was. agreeable to the Evidence as given before the Jury ; but the Motion was made on the Affidavit of a pct.., the name .of collier, , on account ( of whose absence the. Verdift ,went for the Plaintiff; but if h e Ind been present, • it must inevitably have been for the DAendant. The. short statement of the, Case vas t%is : The, Plaintiffs were Bankers at tia eleing hien et.l3ciftril,'s.l-rulker hert: Ile became indebted to the House `of the Plaintiff's, they being holders of ,several of his, which, from embarrassed circumstances, he' was' not able. to honour, and being afraid of being arrested, he took every means in his power to conceal him. self from his Creditors, and therefore the Defendants •could not subpoena him, 'so that they could not have toe benefit of his teitimonv ar-the trial not . only did he conceal himself, but. he caused it to be, .given out, " that he was-gone to France, 'and that the Cline of his return. was uticertairt." . '.rhe party st ho wanted to subpoena Min,' went through every course of artifice that they could.. think of, to get.. at him ; disguised themselves in Various' chit - rafters, and made several pretehces, with a view of seeing him, but all to no purpose; and for want of the evi. dence of this person, they lost their verdict}.' He was aware the Court would ask, " why did not you apply to putthe trial off on the absence ofthis Wit. ness?". The .reason was, that they aslually Spaired of being able to firth him, after having made so:many applications, f9P that purpose, in , vain.— . His w ire had told them, " that he bad' noc, been at • borne for six Week's, and that she did not. know what' was become Of him." Mr. ERSKINE lie was ,confident that the Court, if they'found it pOssible, according to any role, would he glad to in a case like this for it was 'one •in which the Defendant .was made liable to, all the debts of 'a Partnership which had been long dissolved before this demand existed, and the only questitin . was, Whether, the Plaintiff knew that 1;10 or. not ?. .This Witness would have prayed . , that El&_ completely, So that: then, the veraid, would ,have been for the Defendant, and this was'. the hardship of the case ; for the verdtet would.have . • been the other way, if this Witness hal given, his ev Menet.. ~• Mr.. (;!.BBS.--" , " Sn that they , have, heard all our - ease at 'Nisi Prius, and found out,..since, what would have been an,ansWer to it,— . --they come forward, now, with an answer to what they have heard." ' Go Ra w said ,`that , that one.of the Partners in, theHoUse of the Defendants, had, after a dissolu tion of tie p,artnership, secretly kept an atecount with the House of the Plaintiffs, and if this Wit:less. had been examined,, there would not have been any doubt of that, really,, the verdict .was con.. Wry to the' real justice of the case, as would ap pe,“ r, if a new trial was grantcd. Lord ELLENBOROUPH'aSkttd, if the want of this :WitneSs was felt, before the - trial of this came, or - was it a discovery made subsequent to,the Arial 'Or, did any thing appear in Court, that if the De fendants had been possessed of this evidence, would have had another fate ? • , •,f Mr. GAtotow said no; but the gisq,Ap,,,,j, this case from all ..othet.s.ases was, thAtAß 3 Aii,' .ness, Collier, in consequence of his 6111ml-4 4 414w with the house of the Plainticr", who had bills of' vihich he could not pay, had concealed himself for weeks together, :and then he put the ,Defendants oir their goard 3 r _so that they, did not 'apply to put of the trial on account of his absence, because they did not know where he: was, and really believed that . 1 , ,e was lost. They had afterwards found him; .This, he subinitted to the Cotfie, as a ease of, ex treme hardship. t . • The'CL-1 I F "us'tici observed, that there was no surprize to the Party at 'the time of the trial, for want of the eviden`ce of this Witness, fot there was im application to, postpone the ,Itial on *cc' unt of his absence, whielt might have been moved, and on producing an affidavit of the faa, and of an en deavour to find the Cottrt would have put, off the trial; and there was not; C..ven now, any sug. gestion of that kind; 'the Court could not grant A new trial in this case.. Rule refused. The Cliff! , JUSTICE then asked Mr. ERSKINE and Mr. GIBBS. if they were aware of a case lately decided in the. Court of Common Pleas, analogous to that on which this Court had yesterday given judgment, that of Raynard and Renier. The case to which he alluded, in the Common Pleas, was re. ported in 2 Puller and -Bosanquet. His Lprdsliip said, that before the rule was drawn up for di*, charging the former rule, the Court wished to look, into that case, to lee die foundation on which the judgment of the Court of Common. Pleas was built, and to see whether it was in., point with the present case, for it was desirable,, if possible, that die de cisions of the Courts should be "uniform; for which .reasan the rule in the case of Raynard, and Renier, was suspended. PRACTICE OF ATTORNIES. FAR V. LUCAS. Mr. PARK moved for a Rule to shew Cause why proceedings in this case should not be- 'staid ; why the Attorney who had sued out the process should not pay the costs of this application, and that the Attorney should answer the matter contained, in the affidavit, upOn the ground stated that the Plaintiff never authorised the affirm to be brought ; the particulars of which we think not (air to state until thc season arrives for spewing cause.,---Rule granted. Lord ELLENDORayGH took this opportunity 'to notice the improper pradice. of writing letters to a Judge on the subjed of Causes pending, and spoke as follows : ".Great allowances may be made .for . persons sentling letters to tne who are ignorant of the course of _proceeding, but I can make .no such allowance for Attornics'i I have.nOW a letter from, an Attorney, giving, - by anticipation, a Statement of a Case coming before the Court. I Want it to • be understood nx,v, that if any thing of this nature comes to me again, 1 shall take care to put. it into a penal shape." In the course of discussion upon an Award, wile , ther. the Arbitrator had not mistaken a point of LaW•which was : referred to him, and on which-ot.. casiOn the papers had, by order, been left with the Jodges, Lord F I LLENBOROUGH said,," it Was very much his: wish , that when a paper ivas left with him, it might bc.markedfot what purpose, whether for'argument . of a Case, or for explanation of Mo, tion, or whatever .else The purposcwas, otherwise he could not know how to apply ; the l eading- o f them. 'ln a que`stiOn'of Prohibition of Prozeeding in the FcctesiaFtical.C.Ourtt it,...aporiired that tome fatties hadprocceded to put up 41 monument in a church ss ith. out the leave of the Rector, who objetted to it as the owner of the Freehold. Application wvs made to the Bialiop for his licence as Ordinary, and the Ruttor was cited before the Bishop, who has not yet granted his licence; the Court decided it was not no. cassary at present to interfere in prohibition, for •hitherto the Bishop had not granted any licence, nor was it be presumed that he would, Unless that ,was proper;. nor •would it be in furce further than his consent went, which would have no eff,:tt on the rights of the Redor, if he had any right to resist it as owner of the Freehold. It was true, the *Redoes consent, without the licence of 'the Bishop, might be insufficient, but it did not thence follow that the licence of the Bishop put an end to the right of objection in the ReCtor. As to the sup. 'position that-the Rector would be concluded by the Bishop having cited him, and having heard him, over-ruled his objeCtions and granted the faculty to put up the monument', 'being conclusive on the Rector, that waft, , not so, 'for. an Appeal_ might be had against the dem:lnitiation of the Bishop. At present there was nothing for a.,Court of Law to decide, for the Proceeding was hitherto purely Ec.. clesiastical, and no Common Law 'tight in question between the Parties ; and. therefore the Rule for a Prohibition was discharged. - Last - Thitistlay morning, as two young T;odies, .named'Mtroc i.EsToil, of l'eFensea,,and Miss of . Roticrtabridge, were g% ring a party.of pleasure from revensca, in a (Me horse-chaise, the 11 , ..rie took fright, ran away, with the carriage; and threw a - 11 the ladies with great violence out 'of it, by which accident one of Miss.
