epsefice of this complaint was; that the friends re-
moostrated, and :Mrs. Kusdcock . was turned out '
of the house. She shell took a lodging in a neigh-
bratiing *nage—and; in the course of a very
short time, came in a post-chaise: accompanied with
several men an foot, to the house of Mr. Raybold,
when one of bet attendants having placed a pistol at
the head of the man who had the care of that gen-
tleman, he being then in a state of derangement,
compelled him to deliver up his patient, and the
Lady having placed him beside her in the post-
chaise, they drove off to London together, and were
married. Shortly after this, Mr. and Mrs. Ray-
bold drove to the mansion house in state, and Mrs.
Raybold, having discharged all the old servants,
prevailed on the old gentleman to marry her over
again. They lived quite happily together for some
time, until Mrs. Ra ybold, having at length discovered
her husband's infirmity, sent him to a mad-house ;
taking special care, however, to bring him home
fora few days at the end of every halt-year, as the
tenant did not much like to pay their rents %mien
they saw him sign the receipt. In the year 1804,
Mr. Raybold died, having in his lite-time, after his
marriage with the Defendant, levied fines and suf-
fered recoveries of his estates. A will was then pro-
duced, dated a few days before his death, by which
he left the greater part of his property to the De-
fendant. The Plaintiff, as heir at law, took
possession of the property, and contested the will
in the Prerogative Court. Mrs. Raybold, in the
month of March last, served an ejeetment on the
lands, which stood for trial at the next Stafford
Assizes. This Bill was filed in the course of last
month, praying a discovery of all the deeds and
writings relative to the estate. The Learned Gen-
tleman therefore hoped that, in consideration of
these circumstances, and as the Plaintiff in equity

A very long pri:rate examination of the Pr;Erler!
took place respelling the packet of jewellery belor.g-
ing to Mr. Pemberton, of BirMingham, which had
been stolen from the Shrewsbury mail coach ; some
of the particulars we gave in our Paper of Wed-
nesday last.
On the return or the Magistrate to the Public.ol-
- he declared, that nothing whatever appeared
against the girl (servant to Mr. Fox), to criminate
her, and she was accordingly discharged, upon her
mother's (a very decent poor woman) engaging to
bring her forward, when she should be again re-
quired.
Poled Andrews.. the Guard of the Shrewsbury
Mail Coach, ind a man of the name of Posta:
11riiir, were then brought in, in custody ; the Ma-
gistrate informed them, that a considerable degree
of suspicion attached to them, respelling their
knowledge of this tratisaltion—and, in consequence
of the information he had received, he was under
the necessity df detaining them, till some necessary
evidence, which was expelled, should x brought
forward.
The other prisoners, Fox's wife, a-id the boy;
Wise, were remanded for further examination, and
Fox was dismissed upon his former recogni,ance.

bad no means of defending
and papers being in the possession of Mrs. Ray-
bold, that the motion for a receiver should be
granted.
Mr. Ric o ARDS, on the part of the Defendant, ar-
gued at considerable length against the motion,
stating, that the Plaintiff himself was in possession
of the estate, and that, therefore, he had no pre-
tence for moving for A receiver, except for the por-
pose of preventing the question on the ejeament
from being tried, which he submitted the Court
would not allow.
The Loco Co aNcri.Loa thought the question
was. whether the heir at law should give judgment
to the Plaintiff in ejeament, as it was impossible he
could go to trial without the discovery in equity ?
His Lordship then detailed some of the points in the
case, and said, he did not think any person was in
possession of the estate, as it was sworn that the
tenants would not pay their rents until some proper
person was appointed. On the whole, be was of
opinion, that the answer should be put in he'ore the
trial at law took place, and, therefore, that this usu.
tion should be gnytted.

A singular occurrence is said to have happened at
Bury, in Suffolk, a few days since. A stringe noise
was heard during divine service in an old chapel,
which became so loud as to prevent the omvize from

effeet, until last Wednesday, when a labourer, em-
ployed to repair the place, by chance struck a pti•se

wainscot sprung open, and discovered a human !so lr
and an iEllian harp, which, from there being a hele

Hannah Walsh. the Prosecatrix, stated that she
kept a house over a gateway is Phoenix-yard, Oyot-
street, St. Giles's, where she was in the ha'iit of let-

in a trunk in her own room, and it consisted of shil-
lings, sixpences, penny-pieces. halfpence, and far-
things. all which she had tied up in old nightcaps,
pockets, shawls, towels, handkerchiefs, &e. at about
the value of two guineas in each bundle, the whole I
amounting to upwards of twenty poualls. Upon ,
this repository of wealth she kept two boxes. which
were never removed hut when she had occasion to go
to the trunk. She had accumulated this little wealth,
she said. by her hard honest earnings, and it all lay
in the corner of the t-unk (except the rent to her
landlord), covered by a shawl. On Sunday last she
went out to see a friend, and on her return she found
a quantity of her cloaths had been stolen, of which
she could get no account. On Thursday she went
out to lend six shillings to a friend, who was in dis-
tress, and soon after her return in the evening, the
officers roused her up, and asked her had she lost any
