HULL THEATRE.

Pt.owtiert, a young lady of the fairest pro-
mise, 'wide her debut at the [lull Theatre, enure
time since. Although possessing a very fine figure,
handsome face, and accomplishments of the very
first rank, she was so affected by the novelty of her
situation. and the fear of not succeeding in the
line by which she sought independence for herself
and soother, that it was impossible to judge of her
talents: however, on Friday se'imight, she perform-
ed the part of Belisde, in the Comedy of All is
the Wrong. for her own benefit, which was attend-
ed by one a the most respectable audiences that
ever honoured the Null Theatre with their presence.
From her first appearance she was greeted at every
entrance with the loudest and most general plan-
dits. Lt every part of the character she acquitted
haself not only with credit, but in a style of su-
perior excellence thatteaves nut a doubt of her be-
coming au ornament to her profession.

Plaintiff was represented as a person totally igno-
rant of the timber trade; and at the time the • con-
tract was entered into, the broker had not seen the
deals, but acted merely frms the represeutatimi
which the Plaintiff had mode to him of their rm.
lily. The Defendant, on the deals being emit to
him, refused to receive them, alleging that they

Tlrs wee au scbott of trrurr, for the recovery of
the Ivise of a how winch the bankrupt was al-
-I.K.•d to hayr transferred to the Defeadaot, after
he had commuted an act of bankruptcy.
It was state.:, on the part of the Plaintiff, tl at
Mr. Andrews, who we. oaner of the Royal °al.

barrassed in his circumstances, to the year 1809,
had disposed of his house sad stock in trade at •

fendant, but in rralstv to the Defendant himself.
•Af:er cutlplet of the buritiess,r.n the 191) of

from his ere tants. The house. furniture, and
st.ek in trade, sold fur 8011. although a prison of
the italic of Martin had offered 4.5u'. for the lease
. _

The Clerk of Messrs. Bell proved a petitioning
creditor's &Ist ; and to shew that Andrews was a
dealer within the meowing of the b. nkrupt laws, •
servant-maid, and a pot-lesy„ who lived with him
at Brighton, were called ; the former deposed to
having seen two battles of wine and some spirits
slurried out of the house ; the hitter stated that Mr.
Andrew.) had twice or thrice sent wine to his land-
lord, Mr. 'Walker ; that he had sent spirits once to
the house of Mrs. Fitrherhert; and that he (the
witness) was in the constant habit of taking beer
and gilt out of the house to different parts of the
it.ittrhnosl.
J. Hammitt, clerk to Mr. Sloe. and who was
present when the deed. tninsfarring the lease of
ArArews'i house to Sire, was executed. deposed
that the transaction was perfectly fair. His rm.

constqueuce of a felling out with his next door
neighbour, Mr. Soaertiv. lie understood he left
Brighton for the purposive of Noting up in London.
He had been regularly employed iu his business.
and perfectly ace,ssible, until the evening of the
19th of Augu-t. Ile had, on ping away, left 4001.

which he had contracted at Btiglitons
Mr. At'rer, the person who had appraised the
goods 'hen purchased by Mr. Sloe, deposed that
he 1144 been directed not to exceed SOM. to his
estiMate. The stock-iti-trade had been valued by
ars excisemen. He thought the transaction t most
fair one ; for, had hr been left to his own sintasssed
judgment, lie would have valued the property at
near • hundred pounds less than was given for is.

Tnr defence set up wis, that Andrews had not
co-omitted an act of bankruptcy ; his moire for
leaving Brighter', arose from a inisurnieretatiling
hetwreu, him and his neighbour, Mr. Sowerl.y. The
latter, suspecting that NIT. Andrews had attempted
to tear down his sign-hoard. lay in wait in his
arts, and. on his neer attempt, fired at him. and
threatened afterwards to indict him. This so
preyed on his spirits, as induced him to seek his
fortune elsewhere. He had set conducted himself
secretly ; his intention was known to many ; he
had been transacting his basin's+ ptil)!:cly. until
the very evening he 4 pined. leaving his wife a
sum of money to satisfy hi. creditor.. It was eon

however, he hod made n constant practice of send •

in pots and pints, to the neighbourhood, constitut-
ing a trailer, he never recollected a decision on the
Iwnit ; and he requested the Gentlemen of the Jii re.
in giving their verdict, to at ate specitioally their.

which lie had entered into were au improper instrow,
