as a plate was given by His Majesty, the Prince of
Wales, and the Duke of York, she would also give
a 501. plate, to be tun for on Fria ty, by the beaten
horses.

The Race•ground this day was well attended, but
the ladies were not sn numerous at yesterday. The
day being very cold, many of the fair sea had pro-
vided themselves with scarlet mantles. The stair.
case of the Royal box wit lined with gre.,n baize,
and the Royal marquees were well secured against
the impetuosity of the wind. The first Royal car-
riage that came nn the ground, at half past twelve,
was that of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex,
in which was the Marchioness Cornwallis, who,
an the arrival of tier Majesty and the Princesses,
came to the bottom 4 the staircase to re:eive them.
The Royal Dukes--Yoi k, Kent, Cumberland.
Cambridge. and Sussex, were also waiting to re-
ceive Her Majesty. His Rnyal Highness the Duke of
Cumberland condulted his Royal Mother, 'he Prin-
cesses, and the Marchioress Cornwallis, up stairs.
The Sweepstakes of 15 guineas was a very inter-
esting race ; her Roy;.l Highness Princess Elizabeth
took great intents when the horses passed, and bets
were depending in the Royal Stand %won that race,
which was won by half a neck. Atter this race, the
Royal Family went round the course in their car-
riages, and were sainted by all present, whisk they
rerurned with their usual condescension.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was not
present, having left Windsor in the morning for
London. The betting stand was uncommonly full ;
the open carriages, gigs, and phaetons, were
not so numerous as the preceding day. Amongst
the elegant display of carriages, with their own
sets of horses, (the principal part of the company
having post horses). were the Marchiones. Tho-
rn() ,d, Sir William Clayton. with bur bays, and Mr.
Abm.Goldsmid, in a sociable, drawn by tour horses,
with two co t•riders, and two set vants behind. Fri.

COURT OF CHANCERY, item 11.

ATTOCNCT•OENIIAL V BAILEY and (mum
This was an information on the relation of a.
Mr. Harvey and Mr. Mathews, Churchwardens,
and other Pirishionews of the parish and town of
March, inCheshire, who complained against the De.
fer.dant for his neglect and misappropriation of a
very considerable property, given in the year 1601,
for the support of four distinct charities, one of
which was an establishment for the education of 24
poor boys in Latin and English, the stipend for the
Schoolmaster,who was to be the Curate of the pat ish,
from time to time, being 201. per annum roily ;
several estates were given for the uses of those cha-
rities, on which a considerable advance in value had
taken place. The Defendant, as one of the trus-
tees to those chatitiet, was charged to be the re-
.ceiver of the rears (he being an Attorney at Law),
and with retaining in his hands divers sums of the
charity ptopetty, and in particular a sum, admitted
by himself in his affidavit, of 914-1. exclusive if con-
siderable other sums in rents up to Lady-day last,
paid to him, and wholly unappropriated, while the
objets of the charity, being many of the poor of
the place. were starving. The grounds for keeping
such monies in the Defendant's hands were to de-
fray the txpeded expenses of the suit instituted in
this cause. It appeared that the present School-
master was a Blacksmith, and therefore wholly
unable to teach Lain. It was prayed of the Court
to order the Defendant to pay the sum expressly
admitted by him, being the 3141 into Court ; and
that he may be. enjoined to apply the other monies
to the use of the charities, until ferther order, or the
hearing of this cause ; and lastly, that some scheme
might he :uggested, for appointing a groper Master
to the School, in the mean lime.

It was argued for the Defendant, that he had
made no advantage whatever of the detention of
the motley, but apprehended great expense in the
suit, it partaking of a parish quarrel ; and that he
had no interest in refusing the payment of rent
offered to him by some tenants, nor in making pay.
meta a year after the bills were delivered to him,
and getting the' recei,ats antedated, as he stood
charged with, %Age he had money in his hands to
pay immediately. It was also staved for the De-
fendant, that the Corate had refuied to teach for 201.
a year, on which account the present schoolmaster
was employed ; that he had been A schoolmaster in
other places bef,,re, is to English and arithmic ;
and tint he only superintended the business of his
brother, a blacksmith, in the town, lately deceased,
to whom he was cz •cutor ; and that therefore he
was not disqualified from teaching, by his carrying
on the business of a blacksmith, any mare than an
eminent surgical son of Gain, whom one of the
Counsel knew formerly at Oxford, who carried on
the business of an eminent bookseller in the Strand,
in Lontho., his brother having died, to whom that
surgeon was executor, and yet none of the grandees
objected to his medical or surgical visits at Oxford,
on the ground of his being a bookseller in the
Strand. It was likewise stated. that as the poor
parents of the children, iii this ease, were not likely
to wish s Latin education for their children, and the
stipend was so smar. for the schoolmaster, no injury
was done, nor any violation of the trusts of the
charities ; it was suggested to the Court, on the
behalf of the school, that as the funds were cmsider-
able, and the lands now let at half their value,
the Curt might augment the salary.
His J.-T.(101:p ordered the 3141. to be lodged in
Co art, and the cause to be expedited ; but gave no
i,rdera about the selionlmas.:r. until the iiranng.

COURT OF KING'S ILLNCII, Wasrsatti,Tart, Jong 11,

CRIMINAL INFORNIATION.
The ATTORKSY-GlNelat tor leave to
file a criminal information against the Rev Charles
Prescott, Clerk, one c.t the Justices of the Peace for
the county of Chester, for his miscondua in his
oifige of Niugistratt.
This application era; made on behalf of Mr
John Lhcas, an attorney of Chester, and the affidavit
stated, that several journeymen Cotton Manufadu-
rers, residing in that town, having a complaint
against their master, minding the payment of
wages, applied at the Magistrate's office for sum-
monses, which were issued accordingly, Ly order of
Mr. Prescott. Upon the day on whi..h these sum-
monses were returnable, the proper parties attended
at the (Ace of Mr. Lloyd, attorney, the Magistrate's
Clerk, where Mr. Prescott tratitafted all his magiste-
rial business The Complainants, being ignorant
and illiterate perions, had employed Mr. 'Yeas as
their attorney to state their ca,e, and he was about
to mooted in it, when Mr. Prescott said, "he would
di nothing while Dices was pretest." Three times
he was applied to to proceed in the business, and
persisted in refusing to do any thing while Dicas was
present: The affidavit went en to state, that Mr.
Prescott's intention was to destroy Mr. Dicas, by
holding him up as a person with whohs he would
not do business ; and the Court were requested ro
recolleet, that Lloyd was Clerk to Mr. Prescott, and
he wanted to throw all the business into his hands,
and thereby deprive Dicas of it.
Lord fit cgs soliouou said, that applications like
this, against Magistrates, were not to be entertained
upon slight rounds. There was nothing in the afii-
davit to shew that the Magistrate wanted to ruin or
injure this gentleman, who some days agn tried en
allion for assault in this Court, against Mr. Lloyd,
(for which see our paper of Tuesday last), that might
as well have been spared. This was not a case in
which an attorney must necessarily be employed
for, although the journeymen might have been
ignorant persons, there was no doubt but that they
could state their claims against their master very
well. Neither did it appear that the Magistrate was
acloated by any improper motive.—Rule refused.

sequence of building the bridge, the ferry was

the A vroamtv-Gern R A L, and Serjeants WI

any claim whatever for ferry tolls, her interest
only extending to the land wHch had been pre-

LIBEL ON THE EARL OF MOIRA.
?Na KING V. CHIIIIILES. 434 k.;11/1.,
•
The Defendant in this ease was brought op for ,
judgment, for publishing a libel against the Earl of ...„
Moira (as stated in a former Paper). He had std- k 1
..
feted judgment by default.
• -

.1

The ATTOINIT•GRNRCAL, for the prosecuting,
said, that there was no doubt but that this was a
gross, scandalous, and unfoanded libel against the
Noble Fr(isecutor, who had no personaL animosity
whatever to the Defendant, but, from the nature of
the libel, be felt himself imperiously called upon to
enter this prosseurion ; however, since shat time,
Mr. Charlirs had made every reparation in his
power, and it was found that the calumny did not
originate with him ; it was, therefore, the Earl of
Moira's intention n•it to prosecute the case any fur-
ther ; and, with the permission of the Conrt, he
wished Mr. Charles should be discharged epon his
own recognizance.
Mr. Goa ROW, on the same side, said, in justice
to Mr. Charles, that from the moment the matter
came to light, he did every thing in his power to
suppress the further publication. and had ever since
prcessed the moat sincere contrition.
The Court then cliieled him to he discharged,
upon his own recognizance in 10(.1 to appear when
called upon by their Lordships.

ENS KING E. ELIZASETM POWELL.
The Defendant in this ease %/al brought up to
plead to an inclidment far vending and publishing
an obscene and indecent libel I to which she, with
the most apparent contrition, pleaded guilty.
Mr. KAM said, that this prosecution had been
instimcd by the Society for the Suppression of
Vice, but, in consideration of the sincere contrition
this woman had sheen since her confinement. and
having a large fam'ty of children, the Society, with
the permission of the Cows, wi.hed her to be dis.
charged. upon entering into security to appear iE
called upon hereafter.
She then entered into the usual recognizance,
along with two sureties.
Lord Ettemenaouois obseived, that this was one
of the most obscene and iniquit ius libels he had
ever met with, sot only tending to destroy the mo-
rals of the rising generation, but of society itself.
He co lauded with ajmonishing the Defendant to
be no her guard in futile:.
The Defendant was a very decent looking woman,
dressed in black. and a veil, which concealed her
face. During the whole time she remained in
Court, she seemed deeply affected by her situation.
