REPORTED E MBEZZL ENE NT.
A report has been prevalent, for some days, that
Mr. Haat, the Treasurer of the Ordnance, was al
defaulter to a considerable amount. -This report
furnishes a new instance of the weskoess of Mi-
nisters, and is, we are happy to say, totally desti-
tute of foundatioa. The following are, we under..
stand. the circumstances of the case Mr. Perceval.
*owe days since, received an anonymous letters
stating, that Mr. Hunt suns a defaulter to the
amount of 40,0001. The natural inference was,
that the letter come from some private enemy of Mr.
Hunt, who sougitt to do him an injury, or derive
some advantage by his removal from office. It
made, however, an impression on Mr. Pereeval's
mind, and he communicated the contents to Mr.
Ashley Cowper, the clerk of the Ordnance, and
summoned u Board for Tuesday, at which Mr.
Hunt was regneeted to attend. Mr. Hunt attend-
ed before the Board met, and was received by Mr.
Cowper, who communicated to him the purpose
for which the Board was summoned ; but Mr.
Hunt. indignant at the treatment which he
hid received, upon the mere suggestion of an ano-
nymous scribbler, immediately left the office; and
sent in his resignation. At that time there was
400,0001. of the money of the Ordnance in the
Bank, and the Board thought it adviieable. as •
measure of precaution, to give notice to the Bask
to suspend its payments; and they accordingly
did remain suspended until Thursday, by which.,
time it was ascertained that the charge to the ono.
nymous letter was without foundatioh. If men'.
characters are to be thus destroyed by anonymous
letters, no moo can be safe for • moment.

C3URT OF KING'S BllNGlVWssraitseszik JAII. sr.

A number of eases ►o the Crown Paper stood for
argument this day.
Tilt 1.1110 D. Tilt INIi•IIITANTS Of TE1031b1011)TIL

Au appeal had been taken in this case against
we assessment for poor's rate, by which the proprie-
tor or tenant of the light-house at Trigninouth had
poor's-rate imposed upon him, in proportion to the
supposed profits of the light-house, analog frost
duties payable by the different ships that passed.
and which dillies became payable, not within the
parish, but at the ports from Which such vessels
cleared out, or to which they were bound. A case
having beets put for the cunaideration of the Court,
it was determined, after a very ingenious argument,
that there being here no toll, or millet beneficial
interest, nor any local rateable property within the
parish, the rate ought to be quashed.
THE KING v. THE INHABITANTS OF SCVLCOATS.
The question here was, whether the Trustees ap-
pointed under a drainage uct, were liable, as a Cor-
porate Body, to be assessed for rates within4,he pa-
riah where they resided, but within which no part
of the lands to be improved by the drainage was Me
tusted ? The Court were clearly of opinion that%
the increased value of the lands, arising from the
draining, being to be rated in the parishes chairs
the lands respectively lay, sod there being here no
beneficial occupation in the Trustees, within the
parish, the rate could not he sustained. Were the
Court to do so, it would be to open the door to the
assessir.g the Ti onces on canals, fur the profits
along the whole line of each canal, within the indi-
