VERSES
TO THR AUTHOR OF THE LONDON CRIES.

Mild Boil, whilst Charity inspires your lay,
May Guardian Angels speed you on your way !
Awake to every ill which Nature bears,
' You ope the source of sympathetic tears ;'
Art.l whilst you teach the heart-telt stream to flow
At sight of real poverty and woe,
You gusrd the young front every false pretence,
And range compassion on the side of semis;
No more the Beggar shall Moan, implore,
By the feigri'd story, and the mimic sore
Thus, while you probe the honest patients' wounds,
Your skill, the mumping hypocrite confounds,
With wholesome laws that chase the wonh'esa poor
Far from the Good Man': e,rr open door ;
You bid Humanity, sezurely
With generous caution, grant her best supplies!
Nor is thy boast by words alone, to raise
Th' exhaustless fond of eh nimble praim I;
Lo! grateful Bath shall own thy nettle aim,
To prop het streets from poverty and shame ;
From mimic sorrows to withdraw the veil.
Scare the mock plaint, detect the hollow tale;
Front prafr.'J aid the cqesciotis Villain flies 4,
Nor dams pollute with his, ' TM London cues.•

and murdered Captains nil:re an 3 V.jc Der
Assen (which last comni.inded at Post Imotave,
but bad arrived on a visit to Capta.n Muller. at sit
o'clock in the evening), with the whiff/ &leant sta-
tioned at the Post, and also the resident Commissary,
and Serjeant ; and that some of these Black Troops,
to the number of ten, had repaired to the wood
plantation, called Woolfikamp, where they, on San-
day noon. about twelve o'clock, also had massacred
the residing Overseer, Mr. Backer, and front thence
kidnapped and carried off the male and female slaves
who were on his estate, returning again to the Post
Orangebo; and, after examining every thing, left
three males awl three females behind, on accour.t
of their not being able to go with them, and then
took their route towards Alerewyne.
On receipt of this informatior, his Excellency.
the Lieutenant-Governor, instantly had written to
the Commanding Officer at Port Orange, and charg-
ed him to march, without delay, a detachment to
reinforce the Post of Prince William Frederic ; at
the same time detaching from here, under corn-,
mond of Maj.,r Roepel, sixty men to the Upper
Comrnonwyne, and the same nnmber, under corn-
mand of Capt. lnthurn, to the Jew Savannah ; the
last mentioned to march by land to the Upper Cam-
monwyne, and on his arrival there, to join with the
others ; and, after due deliberation, to do whatever
may be jodged necessary to frustrate the objet of
the Rebels, and also to track them in the best and
most speedy manner.
In the mean time, orders have been given to rein-
force all the posts, which orders have already been
executed.
A letter has been recoiled yesterday by the
General from the Commanding Officer, Turner, at
Post Orange, mentioning to have received a letter:
from the Officer commanding at Post Prince Wiliam
Frederick, wherein he states to have received in-
formation that the Post Armina had mutinied, and
that the Officer and Donor had been killed by five
of the Black Soldiers, who, the week before, had
been sent as patrol to the Post Orangebo, and, on
their return, committed this an, after which they
had fled, when they were joined by the remaining
troops of the post.
The Officer, Klein, after receiving this informa-
tion, called his men before him, to whom he held
forth the foregoing circumstances, and demanded of
them how they acre disposed, and if Inc could rely
on them, to whom they unanimously and with one
accord swore to be firm and loyal to the country,
and would never leave their officer, and should
obey his orders pundually. Hereupon she t Fern
Klein immediately sent an express to the Indrairi,
cautioning them to take care of themselves, and to
watch as clog., as possible wnat was passing above,
and also to report the same se thou' delay ; which
they had accepted faithfully to accomplish. Thrift
men had been dispatched for the purpose of assist.
ing in discovering what was going oa, but who had
not returned at the time this letter was sent off.
The Officer, Klein, the other day, in the mor..iag.
had repaired on board of the there lying giinfbrig,
and relates' to the Commander a'.l ;fiat had been
transaned by the Black troops, requesting him at
the same time to go on shore with him, which was
immediately complied with. After they had a.-
sired at the post, the Lieutenant Klein, for the
second time, had called his men before him, when
they again swore, in presence of the Commander of
the brig, the same fidelity and loyalty as the Ctefl•
ing before.
It ippears, from the examinations and deposition{
of several persons who were witnesses to the barba-
rous efts (but who, through favourable (wow:Ami-
ties, made their escape. and arrived tir•rc), that this
mutiny olly exists among the ringleaders, and nut
generally among the whole corps, f. .rrr, which there
is good reason to hope that several of these mu.
tineers, out of fear or otherwise, will yet u. o to their
duty. Br Order of the Court,

LAW Lvrritid tk cEs
COURT OF Cll ANCEIIY, Nov ell.
141JA lei b. lacceror.o.
This was a petition on the pert of the Plaintiff;
to enmeel William BecktOrd, Esq. to give an ac-
count of the profits and proceeds of two estates in
the Island of Je:naica, of which he was the mort-
gagee. It appeared from the pleadings, which
• lasted a considerthie time, that the Defendant had
been, for meny ye tie, in possession of those estates;
and, notwithstanding a decree made Against him, to
produce his accounts, and shew whether any thing
remaincd due to him on his mortgage, or net, had,
teroegli the nt g!oa of himselr, or his agents, omit-
ted
:o render any such account.
The LORD CH VCIA.LOII sat„ that if he could•
aft on that Bench in the same manner as he would
do cut cf. that Court, or in private life, he should
say, that nothing was more jest than thet the mon-.
gagee of an estate had a right to give the mot tgager
a stril account of the proceeds, nr whether there
was any debt remaining due to him or not ; hut
Courts of du. tice were very wisely bound by rules
of pralice, Gout which they must not deviate. A
mo• tgege contral was of such r nature, that he had
not the power of putting any other construttion uplq
it, but what was imported by the terms. As WlOll
as the centraa Was madc, the mortgagee had 4 right
to receive me ptefits, to expend money upon last-
ing improvements of the estate, and to charge in-
terest upon the sums thus necessarily employed.
He was bound also 0.) give the mortgager en ac-
count of what he received, and what rentaieed owing
to him; but to compel him to do .su, proper steps
should he taken. If tee best measures had been pur-
sued, this cause might have terminated long since;
but it was not the fault of the Court of Chancery,
if pectic., from negleA of right measures, placed
themselves at die:advent eee ley a former decree of
the Court, the Plaintiff was entitled to compel Mr.
Beckford to answer interrogatories, which he most
have done at the hazard of his personal libsrty.
Wris .were rot these iateriogetottes put to him ?
It the Plaintiff, or his advisers, negleete.l the reveler
I nurse of proceeding, he was nut to execet the Court
of Chancery to deviate from the estahlisiked rules of
its pthetice ; for which reason he would dismiss the
petition, but negative the application, that it should
be dismissed with costs.
COURT OF ZING'S ELNCII, —PRAT, Nov Co.
Ynßft ItACFS.
Calanel Moat:rola and Mr. FLINT.
Mr. Cha Ream applied to the Court for leave to
file a Criminal information against Thomas Flint,
Esq. fer scandalous conduit, in abesing and as-
saulting Colonel Thornton, a gentleman of high
rank and fortune, on whose behalf he made this ap-
plication ; and upon a disclosure of the case, he lead
no doubt but the Court weuld rent the rule, if it
wit re only as an ex impie to people resorting to places
of peblic amusement, to skew them they were not
to be made like hear-gareens, the scene of riot and
.disorder. The affidavit; on which the Learned Coun-
sel grounded this motion, he setted, were of consider-
ehle length, and disclosed a greet variety of feels ;
eat it was rot necessary for him to take up the
wet. of the Court, in going through theta at any
giver length. Colonel Thornton WAS a gentleman
wi.ll known on the turf, and was informed, that Mrs.
iiiirntoa, his wife, had made a bet of 3')') guineas
with Mr. Flint, to ride against h m ; considering it
a jest, he did not at tint give any credit to the inti-
mation ; but, finding it was a serious wager, he, in
the end, adopted it as such. After this, a nominal
het of 1,000 emineas was made between these two
ate-I-Airmen ( which is a comrivrt cavern among
gentlemen who are in the praetee oil frequenting
the race course, in order to attrae tell atteietance),
and after the busiaese of the rata was over, Mr.
!quit insisted upon the payment of .his nontseel
wager of the 1,000 guineas, as well as the 500,
which Colonel 'Thornton refused... Some semen.
striances by letter followed between the parties, and
Mr. Flint, having received one from Colonel Thora-
ton, returned it liniment., endorsing on the cover,
"no answer." Several other letters were treated in
the sane way, and Colonel Thornton returned the
compliment, by tending Mr. Flint's letters back
tortoperoest ; and the latter gentleman, finding his
letters uniformly returned on this way, upon the
lith of August lest, procured a Sheriff's nfE.:er,
threngh the medium of his Attorney, to deliver a
letter to the Colonel. inclosed in one tr..m the Attor-
ney. on the subjeff of the wager, the former couched
neatly in the following teems:—
" C'JI,ONCI. 'I 1 lilltNTON•ewSlß—After the nummria
whica I hay,: al4resecd to you, euncoraiug the bet nt
1.400 Gat:tees, anti Cos meaner in riritten I have been owa:sl,
I glove inform 'QUI, I will take the SA.IOO 116etivd which Captain
Caulfield did, ea the uctta method of Cc, ,ned Maces, to en-
force it. corhplettuo ; and, as taiuStliug the shore, I pleJs •
say Itnts....r."
This letter, the Learned Counsel observed, thus
written, to vilify and defame the Colonel's chef aZter,
was read by Mr. Ireland, a friend of Colonel net n•
ton's, and teturned. Mr. Flint had prepared many
copies of this letter, which he then had peers! up,
in different parts of the race course. The York
Meeting eommecced on the Vd ; and, while Colonel
Thornton was standing at the great stand post, sur-
rounded by a lumber of ladies, Mr. Flint came
top to him, and said—

Colonel Thornton, I wish you to go nut with
ate," to which the Colonel :answered, " You know
I have refetred you to my Attorney, as you referred
me to your's; as no answer has been given to my.
letters, you have precluded me from having any
communication with yon."
Mr. Flan tfien replied, " you arc a scouniliel and
a coward," and instantly commenced a furious at-
tack with his I.lo,4i—whip, upon the shoulders of the
Colonel, laying about him with so much violence,
that some of the ladies present came in for snacks,
and were much injured. They were both imme-
diately apprehended by the Magistrates, and bound
over to keep the peace towards each other.
It turth,ir stated in these abidavits, in order
to Owls.. that this aEI of Mr. Flint', was cot the im-
pulse of the moment, or of a sudden rcseiitmect, but
a settle.i rre.ntalitated intention, to vilify and de-
fame, and personally to insult and injure Colons.'
