On Thursday a tragical event occurred at Cam-

town, for a considet able time past paid his addresses
to a Miss Goanori, who, with her sister. carries on
the millinery and mantua-making business veal the
Green. A mutual regard appeared to subsist be-
tween them, but the young woman constantly refused
to marry, conceiving, that the earnings of her lover
%mild be inadequate to support them in a manner
agreeable to her wishes. On Wednesday even-
ing they accompanied tach other on a walk, when
the young man complained of a partiality shewn
by her to his brother, in consequence of which
a quarrel took piaci., and be parted with es-
plyssing that she should never see him again
.rise. l'he same evening he took poison, and
call,. on Thursday morning died in the greatest
agony, notwithstanding every assistance was afford-
ed by the fiiculty. The melancholy tidings of his
death occasioned a dreadful shock to the young
woman, who is ear present dangerously ill, and the
event has p:rtl yea general sorrow among those
acquainted with the parties. This unfortunate man
iooaitatel a similar attempt on his lite a few

LA T.
COURT ,OF CHANCERY,' LINCOLN'S INN, JAN-. 19.
During the early part of the morning the Court
was occupied in giving judgment upon petitions in
bankrupt causes, which had stood over, and were
of no public interest.
PePITERSON r. LANE.
Mr. Romittv, on behalf of the Plaintiff in this
cause, applied for an injunaion to restrain the De-
fendsnt from receiving any sums of money due to
the partnership account, which had hitherto sub-
sisted between him and hi, partner.
The partnership between the Plaintiff and De-
fendant commenced in the year 1801, in the. busi-
ness of straw and chip hat rnanufaßurers,and was car-
ried on at their premises in St. Ann's-lane. It WAS to
continue for fourteen years, and a capital of 12001.
was advanced by the Plaintiff, the residue of which,
after paying for the lease of the house, &c. was
paidinto the banking7honse of Smith and Co to be
drawn according to the stipulation ride in the
articles of co-partnership ; the deists, w. "e., Itc. to
be paid out of the joint stock, in the usual way. The
Defendant agreed that he should he wholly occu-
pied by the business, while the attendance of the
Plaintiff was at his own option. The money in the
hank to he drawn out in the name of the firm, but
the drafts to be signed by the Plaintiff, who alone
was to draw bills in the name of the firm.
After reciting various other clauses contained in
the articles of co-partnership, Mr. RostiLLY added,
that the Plaintiff having discovered that the Defen-
dant had drawn a bill in the name of the firm for
his own specific, debt. and aged in other respeills
contrary to their original agreement, a dissolution
of partnership was mutually agreed to, upon the
terms of a sale of the joint stock ; and the Defend-
ant to execute a letter of attorney to confess a judg-
ment for any goods which remained above the
value of 10001. and to pay a stipulated sum as rent,
&c. The Plaintiff to take all books of account, and
to receive all debts, &c. which were afterwards to
be equally divided. The stock was valued at 16001.
A deed and warrant of attorney to the foregoing
purport were prepared, but the Defendant refused
to execute either, in the mean time he said as part-
ner, received debts, paid bills, &c. The applica-
tion, therefore, was to restrain him from ailing in
this manner.
Mr. HART, for the Defendant, admitted that he
did collect some debts since that agreement was
proposed, and paid some bills, but the reason was
that the Plaintiff had neglected to do so himself:
Bills came 114 and. he should have been liable to
arrests if he had not paid them. He stated fur-
ther, that he believed the Plaintiff had received
money due to the firm, and allowed bills to be
returned ; the consequences of which must be
ruinous to both. The Defend int had accepted but
one bill, which era: done prior to the dissolution,
and nude for a partnership debt, but since th:,t time
he never made use of the Plaintiff's tame in any
way ; he took the plate off the. 4914 a.lVertiSed
tit
the &c.; and the fact se,te,. that the Soli-
, eiturs could not agree upon the terms: the Defend-
ant propos el to refer the matters in dispote, but
the Plaintiff refused. However, he was then ready
to submit all diffe.cnces between the parties to the
decision of Mr. Cooke.
that the single
The 1.0110 CH ANC/ILO/1 observed,
question wa., v.-he:her one patty was to be res:rain.
cd from receiving, and the other, if be does re;eive,
duly apply. If the one will receive, and the other
not apply, both should be restrained, and a middle
man appointed, otherwise a receiver should be ap-
pointed to take the whole: it was upon the Defend-
' ant to prove that the Plaintiff had not duly ap-
plied. However, his Lordship ordered, that they
should be enjoined the one to apply, and the other
not to receive, with liberty to apply to the Court in
case either should act improperly.
The parties, however, after a short consultation,
agreed to the original proposal, and referred the
question, coats 'and all, to the arbitration of Mr.
Cooke.
Several motions of course were disposed of, and
his Lordship rose at an early hour.

SURREY SESSIONS.

Saturday innzta Bstchttor, the Toll Colletler at
the Circus Turnpike, was int.:Vied for unlawfully
extorting from Thomas Barrow, Esq. the sum of
2d. for allowing a ,CeTtlia coach to pass through
the gate, he well knowing he had no right to de-
mand the same.
It appeared that Mr. Barrow, the Barrister, and
his friend, Mr. Scrivenor, went in a hackney coach
upon a 1 uesday evening in Autumn last. Mr.
Bartow paid '2d. the toll demanded of him—he re-
turned from Vauxhall before the music had door
playing in :its Gardens, and on attempting to re-
pass tile s.im:• turnpike, the Defendant demanded
another 2d. for Wednesday, alleging that it WAS
past twelve o'clock. Mr. Barrow and Mr. Scrive-
nor looked at their watches, and tonnd, that by one
it wanted .even minutes of twelve, and by the other
eleven minutes—they had not heard any clock
strike, nor had the watchman called the hour. The
Ilefendant insisted it was past twelve, and he would
not sutler the cart; ige to proceed ; upon which Mr.
Barrow gave him the 2d. at the same time telling
hila who he was, and threatening him with punish-
ment. These fact , were proved, and, alter a long
address from the p•i•oncr's Counsel, he was found

On Friday afternoon, the Limhericks, two of the
Bove;Stieet petrole, apprehended two women and a
men, genteelly dressed, at the bottom (4. St. James's
street, well-known pickpockets. In the evening
they underwent an examination befcre the sitting
Meeistrete at Bow-street. No person attended to
make any charge against them. Oa searching
them, cash and votes to a considerable amount were
found, supposed to be the plunder of the day. They '
were committed f. it: further examination next Tilers-
dee, when, it is feared, no charge can be brought
home to them, unless the parties CaO swear to the
notes ; it being the invariable syste.n of Bill Soarres's
Stang to ding tit,- rtnder (the sle•ig term fur throwing
away the pocket-book as soon :u they have com-
mitted any depredation). We und. rstand they will
very properly be committed under the Police Act,
as reputed thieves, should no charge be made out
against them.

The whole tickets in the present Lottery having
sold so much better than the Centrai'itors could have
any reason to hope or expect, it is thought they *ill

may be left on the Friday before the Druseing,
on
the express condition that they will iiare them, and I
not sell them in whoie 'tickets, by which means
many persons may be accommodated, who must
otherwise go without a chance, as it is pretty evi- •
dent there will not be Tickets enough for both
purposes.
