111011 COL'ET OF DELEGATES, TirvnsnAY, Frß. 2.

PFYTON 1•. N r vim N•

11114 MC was one of appeal from the Prerogative Court.
Doctors Arnold, Lee, and Noel:ard presided as Delegates. It
may be recollected that last Court-day the appellant had been
allowed time to prove and exhibit his nppeil, in consequence of 51r.
Longden, who writ the appellant's Proctor, having declined pro-
ceeding any further in hit cause. The ease had been allowed to
wand over, that the appellant might provide himself with another
Proctor. On the present occasion appellant appeared in person,
and wished to obtain permission of the Court to conduct his case
personally. on the ground that his property was withheld front him,
and he had not the means of satisfying the enormous demands of
proctors. Its had been already saddled with expenses amounting
to 3tW., and it was because he was not in a condition to satisfy Mr.
Longden that this gentleman tefuscd to proceed for hint, anti had
given only tour days' notice of such determination. Appellant
said he should be able to prove that the witnesses opposed to him
were perjured, and that his wife had not the power of making a
will. Mr. Nelson, a merchant, who had since tidied, went to his
w.te when she was dying, and got her to give hlm a power of
attorney.
Dr. Lee interrupted the appellant by informing him this was
not the tinie to corer into therm matters, and asked whether he was
prepared to pot th:: cause in a regular course of proceeding ?
Appellants tit! Ora he was prevented from being to prepared by
the holydays nt the beginning of the week.
Dr. Ait torn said that to allow Mr. Longden an opportunity to
explain, it' he thought proper, he should call on that gentleman to
know whether it was true that he had only given appellant four
days notice.
. . _

Appellant then put in two letters, to show that 31r. Longden had
said he must have 11101. to reimburse a part of the heavy expenses
he had incurred, or must decline proceeding. The costs of pro.
ceedings too, which were said to be very voluminous, were
immense.

Mr. lxingden admitted that he had not given the appellant
mute than four or live daye notice, but cfrored no explanation.
Mr. AV!' EELE a, Proctor for the defendant, urged the inconve.
nience of delay.
Dr. Lee said that the Court could not interfere with the question
of coins. If the appellant resolved to conduct the cause himself
he mug conduct it in the regular way. It was, however,
earnestly recommended to him to provide himself with a Proctor,
if possible. The Court had every desire to afford him, under
the peculiar circumstances, any indulgence that could be granted
without injustice to the other party, and therefore he would be
allowed till the next Couet.day, that the proceedings might be put
in their regular course.
The appellant said he should raise the money required to
pay the necessary costa, and would take care to be generally
prepared by the next Court-day. Ile should likewise attend to
the suggestion of the Court, in reference to the propriety of his pro.
curing a Proctor.

Yesterday a gemlemanOf thenan);:fCltesterton made an ap-

stood) 2C4/.. for which accommodation he said he was willing to
Ore a liberal consideration. The applicant said be had no ob.
onion provided the security. was gond, and Fowle then stated that
he held the situation of Sotteitor of the Cinque Ports, and that the
bill for which lie wanted cash was drawn by himself upon 31r.
Gilbert, Treasurer of the Customs for the Cinque Ports at Rom-
ney, and accepted by that individual. He then produced several
bills, and observed that lie was generally paid his salary in that
way. He handed one ova to the applicant, drawn and accepted as
before-toentioned, and made payable at Messrs. Spooner and
A ttwood's„ the bankers. and having no doubt of the truth, of
Fowle's story, he gay.' him the money. The bill had since be-
came due, and was pre• ented at Spooner and Attwood's„ but the
answer was "no effects." This of course set the applicant upon
making inquiry. and he learned that Fowle had been living
at Kensington in considerable style, keeping a carriage and
suite of servants; but that lie had lately bean arrested, and
was a prisoner in the King's Bench. He then wrote to the
Treasury to learn if Fowle really held the office of Solicitor
of the Cinque Ports, eel he received an official letter (which the
applicant produced), informing him that that person never had
filled that situation. The applicant next wrote to Romney to in-
quire abuut Gilbert, :old he received an answer from one of the
churchwardens of that place, stating that Gilbert was not Trea-
surer of Customs for the Cinque Ports, and that he was in prison,
and hts family were receiving parish relief. He added, however,
in answer to an inquiry which the applicant made as to Fowle,
that the latter had b.en understood to have held the situation of
Solicitor of the Cinque Ports, but that the duties were performed
by a depnty or clerk. •
The Magistrate asked if Fowle was still in the King's Bench,
and, being answered in the affirmative, said he could not take him
oat of the custody of the Marshal until he was discharged by du*
course of law. hut he would grant a warrant, which the applicant
could cause to be lodged at the gates of the prison, and whenever
the accused was about to leave the prison he would of course be
taken into custody.
The applicant said this was all he wanted at present, as it would
prevent him front leaving the inside of the walls, for. if he obtained
the roles, he would be very likely to take advantage of that in-
dulgence, and escape altogether.
A second complainant appeared against the same party, and
was told that be also might have a warrant if he chose.

OUTRAGE, kg the NEW PRISON, CLSRKENWELL.

It must be fresh in the recollection of our readers that, at the last
Middlesex Se-sions, Mary Ann Sullivan, an Irish amazon of
terrific notoriety to the parish of St. Olin, Jenny French. and a
few others of the same class, were brought into Court in the cus-
tody of Mr. Beeby, the k,cper of the above prison, on a motion
made on behalf of the officers of the parish, in order that Sullivan
night be remanded tinder ankles of the peace previously ex-
Itihited against her, for reit ored acts of violence against Mr. Biggs.

THE BOAR of the CAPE ; or, the FORIIINATE
EMBELLISHMENT.
There is a wild boar at the Cape of Good Hope
With whom if by choice or by chance you should rope,
Take care of your legs—for tiucue first are Ma prey ;
A W.LIC without legs that you can't run away !*

And nearer still drew to the terrified man„„
Exhausted who fell, and awaited Lis doom—
A horrible death in vitality's tomb !
Instirctively taught first to maim, and then slay,
The resolute savage now rushed on his prey; •
But suddenly staid his ferocious mirmits,
Subdued by his shade in the sntler's bright bouts.
Some observing Hottentots now raise the cry—
" Save legs. safe hies, up massa and 8y !"
When routed from his stupor, and conscious of grace,
The settler now wing'd o'er the desert his pate ;
The boar in his rear, but of wrath all unstrung,
And foll•wing in fancy the friend of its young !
And thus was the curious adventure sustaired,
"fill tnrbuur and safety the party soon gained;
AViteh receding fast from the dwellings of man,
The boar to his haunts untnoleatedly ran.
"'Twits Warren's Jet Blacking that ended the strife."
The settler exclaim's'. " and Ine saved thus my life !"
And Warren's Jet Blacking, now !laird as the valuer
Of safety, was shouted with rapt'roua applause!
The circumstance soon even to Cape Town was spread,
Each tact multitudinous evidence bulking
And now say the se:tlri.s, " lloth danger and dread
To shun, use the splendor of Warren's Jet blacking."
