Last week, as a servant of Gsoaot Mael Esq.
was backing a cart into the sea, at Herne Bay, near
Whitstable, for the purpose of filling a barrel with
salt water, the shore being steep, the horse suddenly
lust his feet, and plunging to extricate itself from
the harness, alarmed the poor feaose so much, as to
induce him to jump out at the tail of Use cart, but
not being able to swim, w,uld very shortly have
ben drow,led, had not an immediate alarm been
given, and some boats put off to his assistance. It
wa: souse time, however, before the man recovered
his senses. The poor animal (which was a valuable
each horse) unfortunately perished before the
boats could come up with the cart, which, by the
rapidity of the current, was carried to a considerable
distance.

PF:L 10E COURT, ACC. 31.
.13,fure Mr. SEIJEANT MARSHALL.
. SIM NIE.PS L. WlTHEltsropr.
This was an action brought by Mrs. Maria Sim-
mers, against the Defendant, for recovery of tt.c
sum of 21. 15s. fur the nsc and occupation of garden
ground, situated on Whitccbapcl•road, leading to
Ratcliffe-highway.
The defence set up was, that the Defendant never
occupied, and the only use he made of the garden
was to walk in it, for the good of his health.
It appeared, that the premises hi question were
lett to the Plaintiff by one Lansendorf, whose former
tenant, of the name of Fish, had ab•conded. The
Defendant lodged in a house adjoining, and used
to walk about this garden, and sometimes dig in it
for the good of his health. The Plaintiff charged,
that he had not only the use and occupation, but
that he converted the produce thereof to his own
use.. She charged him with th, rent from the time
she was put into possession her self, and delivered a
bill for the amount, by her agent, Mr. Robert
%.L() annexed thereto his owu address,
and that of the Plaintiff.

Upon the testimony of Robert &Millen. a wit-
ness on the part of the Plaintiff, it came out, that
he was ,the person who prepared the deeds of the
premises in question fin. the Plaintiffs that he wa.: a
sort of law agent, in the habit of drafting and pre-
paring deeds, notices. tkc. and of set ring processes.
&c. This Witness swore as to the occupation of the
premises by the Defendant; and when he waited rn
the Defendant with the bill for rent, be swore pr.
tively that the Defendant acknowledged the pos .
slot:, and that the rent was due, and mad. a -
sitive promise, of payment. Upon b:ing e
closely examined by the Court. he said he unch -
stood that the Defendant had acknowledged the pos-
session and the rent due; and that hi also under-
stood that he promised to pay.
Several other witnesses were examined as to those
fads.

The Jury, without hesitation, found a Verdia for
the Defendant.

Mr. Atlas applied to the Court for a rule to set
aside proceedings in Certain cause for irregul irity.
Mr. Serjeant /11 Assn tI. observed, that this was
the first application of that nature which was ever
made in that Court to his knowledge. It a,.1 always
been a Court remarkable for its regularity.
Mr. Ao 44 stated, that the irregularity comisted
in serving the process of that Court, at a place not
within itjuriuliaion. The process had been served
at the town of Barnet, which was situated without
the limits of that Court.

The Learned JUDGE said, he was apprehensive
his Learned Friend was mistaken, as the jurisdic-
tion of that Court extended twelve miles round West-
minster Hall, and he conceive' Barnet to be within
th:tt distance. However, a rule to spew cause was
granted.

Thursday evening, died Mr. Joutt Kilter. keeper
of Newgate: he was seised nn the preced:w, day
with a pain in his bowels, which twofti..«.J es-
istence. Already several candidates have started for
hie place. Among whom are, (I,,vernor Ax's, d

on the opening of Bartholomew Fair.

It is reported that a Mr. Sst trn, in the neighbour-
hood of Soho, has met with a most unfortur. 'le
death. H- was travelling towards Marlborough .st
the gage coach., in which he was taken ill. and .4-
vised by a fellow-trot% eller to quit it for some giber
accommodation; it is presumed that Mr. Sic trot
had got property about him. and that some permit
ribbed him of it, as he was found murdered. Tb a
mystery, no doubt, will shortly be eluc dated.

A s'incking accident happened at Wapping
D•wks, on Thurial sy last, to au CL a it. ail..
bower, who in the aft of guiding a wheel harrow tp
a b ward, fell to the bottom of the Dock, tell Ss
h.-et; he was immediately carried to the Infirmary.
A man was taken into custody nn the suppesOino
that he had been a wilful accessary by twisting a
card, which threw the poor fellow off his balance;
he is ordered to be detained until Sir WILLIAM
Btizmin declares CLARK out of danger.
A few d iys since, th'e gardener of THOMAS MAY,
Esq. of Littleboion Court, incautiously threw tie
clippings of a yew tree into the farm yard, which
w.ye soon devoured by the hogs; and, in the course
of a few hours, thirty-two of them dropped down
dead.—This is inserted merely as a caution to
those who are ignorant of the poisonous quality of
the yew-trre.

On Wediesday night a most shocking accident
happened at Windsor 11. tracks. Roma sr A- Lice,
a private bclnng.ing to the Coldstreim lieginreft of
F•lnt Guards doing duty thi re, was taken unwell
while in bed about eleven o'clock: he got up and
went to the prliy, where it is supposed, either for
want of strenzth to surpo• t himsel4., or losing his
balance, t'-e seat only being a rail, be fell back-
wards, an.. e place being extrem,ly larg-, it is
supposed he was immediately suffocated, it being

out the least apie trance of life, and a most shock-

no tidings were ever head of him.
