The evidence-on the part of ,ite prosecution being gone into, and it appearing, that; upon an antece dent eXaminAtion,,,which led to the present charge, neither the question" per to' the defendani, nor his answas, were cotntnitted at the time to writing— Lorcl'ELLuNaotiotson bad, that, in a .criminal case like this, .he could notoako mere parole evi dence and accordingly, under ibe (I)rtetion'of Isis • Lordship, the Airy returned a vardiCt of-;-Avt ,• , LAY v.

Cole was very urgent to have it done, as Lay had a large Litre ly. GAUROW for the def4ndant (Wilmot), in addreSsing • the Jury, said, this was nothing more than a ntaumutre 19 pick the pocket of, his client of a just debt, to which, by his execution, he, was ehtitled; as to the ileetl' itself, it Could nut stand itt point of law,, tor he should shew it was obtained through fraud, deception, and imposition, for the express purpose of • preventing other credi , tors from obtaining. their lawful demands,, In the next place poshessiott always,.aecompanied. deeds of this kind, without that it could not stand; in this vise no possession . wan •talterot the time, and the deed was exvcoted at a late- hour of the night. As to the first point, Mr. Lay represented to Mrs,Cole, thit, if he had a security, he could raise the need ful; but, like little Moses in the. School for Scandal, ilr, Lay 114t1 not the money hiatielf, but could bor.

The deed being toad, it'apparecl that it was an absolute sale tn the et cuts, indetnitily.tlte . plitin tiff egainst the bills in question, arid to pay tlw ox pense of setts; "vattotioo,' , and . a book account tot' oods`sold ) with a power: to the plaintiff' to sell an d diopose of the' he should think pro:. per.

This was an'action upon a policy of insurance on the ship Succe,ss, trom Archangel, to Great Britain, at a pretnium at seven guMeas per cent. Dufing the voyage it became neeosary to take some part of the cargo of wheat out of the vessel, and put it into lighters, where, after the loss of the vessel by storms, it was obliged• ,to he till it became of no sahae. The voyage was performed under a license, dated lebitaary 17, 1810. to Stein, and of her Bri tish . mercikatits-, and the license had bee:, extended in common) with otheis, by an Ord in Council, KIM to diver the comtnencement of present tisk. Mr. Sefjeant. BEST, for the defet:dant, took an ob. jection to the liceose, Which, although it might exempt the plaintiff's hostile. character, could not dispense with the Navigatioit Act. The Captain of this Vessel was a nativAs of liamburgh, and the owners Of. 1116.. vessel. were HatilbUrgilaS. The ..I.earned Serjeatit Was aware, that,the Navigation Ad had been relaxed by the subsequent Statutes of ti1e43.Ge0.411. C. 153, 4 C. 108.11;tit 49 Ge'o. 111. c. 6o; but in eery one of . (hes,: Ants it was expressly declared, 11 - ,at •the license woo specify the goods, which this license to cover ~ wheat did not. Lord Ellenborough had.laid it down, tnat if the risk began at any period, withln the Iteunte it wag enough ; and it hart also been decided, that the woids " and Others," extended to netttrois the Sericant rested . only twon this ocjectton. GAEltOtiti, for the plaiotitf, ap„reitentkn he 'had a clear answer to it, under One at the Oiders in Council. The iicenae Spoke of Cargoes, 'such .is by law might be itoportel ;. and ste, apprehended that the King might, by hisprertigi:tive, suspend a seizure cr foriettut - C ; and wet, ptoev.c4oo,l to Oitti.,A proela. runt ton, when Lord ELLENBOROUGIt inte.rrepted 'him, to say, that there wete 'mail ;.cts of I , ...taaltient .on it io subject. 'that he would reserve the polio ; and the 1)111 . 11,1d may take a verdict 'subject .theieto, A% to proclamations. his Lordship could know them, only as they were pr oduced ,as to-ibetn . , he - could only go secunduin allegata et pmubote. The King, how. ever, could nut (11.1x:use with the provisions of an Act of Parliameta, althooi;li t olght - forego his rights accruing in respect of war. The Kittg might peace, or he might make war, or he might make mitigated. war, or relieve the come. quericei of hostility. The question was, W bel her this license interfered with the provisions of the Na. vigation Act. Serje.ant BesT produced, in eider to prove, that this country was at ,war with Russia, a Gazette, containing an order of reps Mr. GAREOW did not know of this Gazette, in the late case in which' this question occurred. Lord Et.ternoliouon.--:—Nor anti bound to know of alt Proclainations. It is quite enough to get all the AO aof Parliament in the Statute-book into.,one's head. It was, therefore, that the questiou the other day was suffered to go to a Jury. -- Air. Serjeaot . I3esrr also called a witness to prove the state of ,Hamburgli throughout the year 1810. There was a French* garrison there; but the c ity was suffered to display its own vows 'of arms, mid was govei ned by the Senate of Hanaborgh, Lord ELLENaonouon.—Then it seems there was only a very, inconsiderable portion of French in. tr6sion. In answer.to a question from a juryman, the wit ness added, that the senate of Hamburgh collected the Clliit.olfi3. Lord E L LENEMIOEIGH.-The civil -audl , fisoal au thorities were therefore' both in the city of burgh. Mr. GARROW desired, 'therefore, that that fact might be found for ;; it A melancholy occurrence took place in Belfast on Tuesday last. •'l2he circumstances connected with it are reported as . follciw Mary INl'Gr4dy, a yoking woman„ the unfortunate subject of the btoly, tai d for several years lived in the service_ of ..a must re spectable familiy in town, and by her very proper and virtuous conduct bad tho c.teem of her rnibtregb and. all the family, ,who paid her the kind- ._. _ . est attention. Notwithstanding this, however, she about twelve months ago left this honiy, and went 'to another, but has' Itir some time past been without employment., It , appears she had recently formed an . it cva i n tance with a man named Ll. U. (we, cannot be more explicit at present),.who ti a house keeper, 'but not married, alid thm she'occasit)naßY visited at his home. Her conduct :and manner have lately varied much from what they were lot inerly at tunes she appeared underthe i o flueoce/ of ltquor, 'and at other tones pfe,s;:d With nielanctinlY• She some time ago went to .lodge with a woman who lived in Flubols - streerk and who. wforight at a cotton mill. On theeveningot Tuesday laic, this woman, on returning home, found . her door lucked , but o n locoing through the by-hole she perceived a pair of boots on the floor. This alarined 'her, and she futtsed open the door, .when on enteriog she observ ed H. a at ;ha bvd.slcle. Sch im,tnediately began to scold him, and desired to know what , brought him there ; but at this moMent she discovered - i Mary M , Q,rady lying in the bed. Upon going forwaidi U. D. immediately held up tibottle and said, " .here .. ,1 have found this with her, taße care , of her." The woman then began° to interrogate . Mary, but to all her icquilieti she wily answered,,“ it will be alt over before Lu9rnia4." Ott Wediveoay a.Coroner's in quest, sat pit rb e b o dy, and..a surgeon ; hating exit. mined thesmall dregs that remained in the bottle, c1 , ....c1,red that it had: contained Ludananum, and 1 1 ) 4 it, appeared she bad died by the eflects of it.
