rhe LORD CHM JUSTICE asked Mr. Serjeant
SR MI rim who was for the Defendant, what an-
swer he had to this case ? He replied, that he
doubted much whether there was any exclusive right
in the Corporation to this Ferry. By the rules and
orders of the Watcrmen's Company, who had au-
thority, by several Alts of Parliament, the last of
which was the :14th of Gco. 111. Gravesend, and the
precise spot in question, was made a plying place
for witermen, where they not only might, but were
compellable to take fares. In addition to this, se.
veral of these Aas of Parliament noticed the fang
Ferry from Gravesend to London, as being vested
in the Corporation. but made no mention of the
Ferry across to Tilbury. lie thought this furnished
an argument against their exclusive right.
His Lord-hip was clearly of opinion that this
furnished nn answer to the Plaintiff's case ; in addi.
t ion to which Mr.-GA R sow cited the 39th Gen. ill.
c. ?;, the Tunnel Ad, which expressly' guatds
4g nnst any infringement of therigh is of the Corpo-
allots to this Ferry.
Verdict for Plaintiff, iliraiai;es, by consent, One
Shshtug.

Yesterday, Sir Richard Bickerton, with four sail
of the line, passed this to convoy the expedition,
which is now lying off Tetuan ; and Sir James
Craig and his suite embarked, and sailed in the
Amphitrite frigate this day at twelve o'clock, to juice
the army again, which will now immediately pro-
ceed to their destination.
The Amp virile and convoy sailed file England on
the 23d, hut the wind coming Westerly betore trey
got through the Gut, they were obliged to return
again ; they are ready to sail the first fair wind.
We have bad na further confirmation of the report
of the French having sent a force to take possession
of Egypt ; so that we are in hopes it may not be
true, though it has excited considerable alarm here,
as, since Lord Nelson quitted Toulon, which is two
months ago, we have had no force till now in the
Mediterranean, during all which time the enemy
might have eent as many men to that country as they
could have found transports to carry.
General Fox has been so much indisposed there
some days past, that all public business is transatted
by general Drummond, the second in command
I am happy, however, to say, that the faculty do
not think him in any kind of danger. His zeal and
exertions to promote the welfare and security of this
important garrison are highly meritorious; and,
should the state of his health make it necessary for
him to return to England, it would he a Afillicult
matter to find a Commander to fill his place, as well
qualified in every respeff as General box for such an
impot Lent trust.

I have great satisfailion in informing. you that
General Fox is now much better, and, at ii hoped.
will soon be quite well. The Garfisiin in general
is healthy. The summer, hitherto, has been re-

Mr. GARILOW, for •the Plaintiff, stated the nut-
lines of the case—which weie, that the Plaintiff was
a farmer. and the Defendant was also the Same.—
Ile Plaintiff's daughter acid the IMendant were ac-
quainted in early ycutthe and be chewed evident in-
clinations to become her sditor. She received his
addresses, and the consecpsence was, she became
pregnant by him. He thee deserted her; but the
acquaintance was again renewed, and she became a
second tame pregnant ; after which, he married an-
other woman, and deprived her of all hopes of re-
ceiving that atonement which he had promised to
her.
Jane HoaJley stated she was 22 years of age ;
she always lived with her father. The Defendant
became acquainted with her very early, and was her
suitor ; at last she became pregnant, and was de-
livered of a child, which is since dead. He used
to visit her at nights, after her father was in bed ;
but he always said he would not marry her. Some
time afterwards she met him at Bow Beech fair.
He then had with him the woman whom he has
since married, and she was so hnrt that she retired
in to trs into another room. He followed her, and
renewed his addresses, and begged her to dance
with him ; she did dance with him, and their ac-
quaintance se Is t mewed. He ag tin visited her
privately. and she WAS again pregnant.
The Ciller JUST :CC here interposed, and said,
that he did not think what passed after the second
pregnancy could be evidence; if it could, a man
might every year maintain an action for the preg-
nancy of his daughter.
Upon the cross-examination by Mr. Serjeant
SO rpm um, it appeared, that the girl had conclusrted
herself with great levity ; that she admitted him
privately ; that she danced at several fairs where
she met him.
hfr. Seij,:mt SII!PHERT) made a most eloquent
defence. and said, this action fully proved the mis-
chief which mow from encouraging these fictitious
ae.tions against the inks of old common law.
Though this action was nominally hrotight by the
father, yet, in fat, it wit the aelion of the daughter.
who brought it in revenge for being deserted.. The
Jury would therefore lo :k to this circumstance, and
not credit all that she might say in her anger.
Lord Chief.) ustiee :`lsasiisonobserved, that this
ation was rather singular; it was the first instance
he had ever heard of an affirm after a second child;
but certainly the Jury would not give damages for
the second offence ; and fi:s opinion Wts, that the
lateness of the action shewed that it was not founded
in an honourable feeling; best in a spit ii of revenge.

01F TATLAN, JUNI 24, 1403.
" I take the last opportunity that will probably
occur of writing to you .for some time, to inform
you, that on the 18th the Expedition got tinder
weigh from the Bay of Gibraltar, to avoid the
threatened attack of the enemy's gun-boats. We
stood a few leagues to the Eastward of the Rock,
and have been sailing backwards and forwards in
sight of it ever since.
" Sir Richard Bickerton has just joined us, in
the Quern, with three other ships of the line ; and,
whenever Sir James Craig arrives from Gibraltar,
from which he is hourly expeeted, we shall proceed
-to Malta, which is our place of rendezvous, atter
which, it seems generally understood, that we are
to go on to garrison Alexandria. The army is all
in high health and spirits, and fit for any kind of
sereica."
