contain so account of the battles in Moravia, sub-
sequent to that of the ed. The loss of the Russians
on that day, is stated at 40,000 killed, wounded.
and taken prisoners, and 150 pieces of canoes.
The Rassian and French Imperial Guards were op-
posed to each other. The former are said to have
been cut to pieces. The Hansburgh Papers, re-
ceived last week, informed us, that the Russians
had lost all their artillery in,that affair ; but the loss
of men, in killed, wounded. and taken. is. no
doubt, exaggerated. The absence of all informa-
tion in these papers, respelling the battles of the 3d
and 4th, and other proceedings of the Grand Army,
subsequent to the 2,1, toads suronglyeboonfiren the ac-
counts which stated these battles nnfevonrable to

11 NKRUPT CONSPIRACY.
TIM COO O. ItOOLOT RitolltriT and °rotas.
'this was an information, tilled by the ATTORNEY*
against the l)efeadants, Robert Kennett,
a Bankrupt; Henry Kennett, his son ; Brackley
Kennett. and William Plavfair, for consulting and '
conspiring together, for the purpose of defeating
the effect and due course of a Commission of Bank•
snowy, and to hinder and prevent the just distri-
bution of the Bankrupt's Aida among his fair
creditors.
The SOLICITOR-Gausses opened the case on
the part of the prosecution, observing, that it was
his duty to bring those persons before the Court and
Jury, charged with a most gross and important of-
fence ; when the proceedings, under the Com-
mission of Barkruptcy, came before the Luao
CuAscaccoa, such a scene of iniquity was de-
veloped, that his Lordship directed the Atroeuev-
CENCIIAL to file a criminal information, for a con-
spiracy, against all such persons as might be impli-
cated in the crime. In the year ISOI, a Commis-
sion of, Bankruptcy issued against Robert Ken-
oat • but, to prevent his effeds from being fairly
divided among his creditors, Brackley Kennett
petitioned the CM A NCI. Ll.Olt to supersede that Cons.
mission, In this he succeeded ; another Commis-
sion, is lint issued, and Brackley was chosen sole
assignee. He received several sums of money,
which he never accounted for. This, then, the
Learned Counsel observed, was a fraudulent Corn.
mission, under which Robert Kennett obtained his
Certificate, and, immediately after, took the lease
of a house in Lincoln's-inn-fields, at 1011. per
annum, upon which he expended about 10001. ; and
thus feeling himself secure under his Certificate, he
went on with his improvements, paying his trades-
men, and silting, in every respell, as the master.
The creditors, under the former Commission of
1904n0w seeing him an opulent man,and supposing
something fraudulent in the business, became alarm-
ed, and a Petition to the CIIAWCILLOR ensued. Ken-
nett, in his turn, began to look About him. and, in
January 1803, assigned ever all his fixtures and
furniture to his son Henry (who was a minor sustil
the February following), for a nominal considera-
tion of 961. He afterwards had the lease made
out in the same way, although he continued
to ail as the master and owner. Adversity,
however, he saw was now closing in on
him, and, upon the 22d of April, iBOS, the
former Commission was superseded, and a new
one issued by a hate fide creditor, Mr. Duff, who
wished there should be a fair division of the Bank.
suet's effects. The next thing to be done by the
Kennetts, was, to get assignees of their own, and
they accordingly procured Mr. Playfair, who had
been a bankrupt. and insolvent; and who, upon.
obtaining his discharge, under that alt, gave is
usual schedule of his effeds, thereby assigning thorn
over to his assignee. The only debt which appeared
die to him by this schedule, was one of 251. from
Robert Kennett. Notwithstanding all skis, he,
Playfair, came forward at a meeting of the Com-
missioners, when the Kennett' were present,
claimed, and roved. under that Commission. the
same identical 251. which he had so previously as-
signed over to his creditors, and was chosen assig.
nem But Playfair was not to be trusted alone, :a.
though only a nominal assignee ; some other person
lttUst be looked out for, and this was the business
of Henry Kennett. A Mr. John Parlby, who re.
sided at Portsmouth, was found to be a creditor for
1001. This Gentleman was a relation by marriage -
but was in a state of idiotism, wholly iscapacitated
from conduCling his own affairs, much less the
affairs of a Bankrupt; nor was he even capable of
taking any care of his person, having resided for
many years under the protedion and management
of a respedable Dissenting Mii.ister in that place.
To him, therefore, Henry Kennett sent dim:, an
affidavit of debt, and a letter of Attorney, both hi
his own hand-writing ; the one to prove a debt
under the Commission, and the other to authorise
Mr. Henry Kennett to aft for him in the choice of
assignees, receive dividends. sign certificate, &c.
Ise,* papers being duly perfected, a meeting of the
creditors, for die choice of assignees, rook place;
and Hcnry Kennett, thus authonsed, Attended, and
proposed Mr. Parlby as one, who was accordingly
appointed, Playfair continuing a nominal assignee,
as before: hut Henry Kennett alone siding. At
this meeting, Robert and Brackley Kennett, who were
well aware of the incapacity of Parlbe, were present.
In the summer of I tRI.I, a partnership was formed
for manufaduring gun-carriages, between Henry
Kennett and Playfair, in which also Robert had a
share ; and work of this nature was done to a
very considerable amount, for the East India Com-
pany. About this time a petition was presented to
the Chancellor to supersede this adverse Commis-
sion of Mr. Duff, on the grounds of an antecedent
aft of bankruptcy, and a good petitioning creditor's

Ccunsel observed, the

honest men get their due." In consequence of
this, another petition was presented. as if from
several of the creditors, but wholly Ilutiborieed
by Brackley Kennett, praying that Mayfair- might
he rammed from the assigneeship. Mr. Duff then
petitioned, setting all the :thrive, and other fags,
before the ,CIIANCELLOR. who, thereupon, on the
14th of May, 1304, directed that Parlby and
Playfair should be removed, that they should
not be perniittcd to vote for assignes, and
that Henry Kennett should account for and pay
OM to the new assignee, the sum of 1:001. dhcl
other effeCts of the Bankrupt, which came to his
hands; all of which he refused to do, and chose ra-
ther to go to the Fleet Prison, where he still re.
mains. The order for the issues were revoked, and
the AT TOI is It I'-G dire led to file the present
information; the LORD CH 4/44.; It. LOR declaring,
when he made the order, that he had never wit-
nessed so deep, wicked, and mischievous a con-
spiracy. to cheat and defraud the fair creditors of a
bankrupt. But this was not all ; the house in Lin-
coln's-Inn-fields was assigned over by Henry Ken-
nett, first to a Mr. Mooton, upon poll obit bonds ;
and, lastly, to Dr Lyster, for 7001.; not one penny
of which was ever accounted for. Robert Kennett
had also furnished lodgings in Albemarle-street,
and the furniture here, as well as that in Lit.colies-
Inn-fields, was sold by million, as fir henry Ken.
nett ; Mr. Hindel, the atiltioneer, advancing 15. d.
upon the sale ; when he came to furnish his ac-
count, and charge the usual Excise duty, he was
told that charge could not he allowed, the goods
having been the property of a Bankrupt, against
whom no Etcise duty, upon a sale by asttion, was
chargeable.
Robert kennett also rented houses in Bond-street,
and had some consols and other property, all of
which Henry received, and never accounted for.
The several proofs were then gone into, in the
course of which the imbecility of Parlby, and se.
veral As of Robert Kennett, Henry Kennett, and
Mayfair, appeared. But Lord kls.ccuaoauuun
thought, that, although there was evidence enough
to raise a suspicion against Brackley Kennett, yet
there was nothing of aftnal proof against him, so
as to amount to a conviCtion.
Upon application, therefore, of his Counsel, Mr.
EItSILINE, his Lordship dire.fled the Jury, in this
stage of the proceedings, to find a verdin of areptiqfil
as to Brackley Kennett, which was done accord-
ingly.
%Villiam Playfair had neither Agent nor Counsel
to .Let for him, but attended in person, and with the
permission of the Court, asked a few questions of
some of the Witnesses, tending to skew that he
was wholly ignorant of the sale of the furnitdre.
He also declared, that he 11.44 beets the dope of
those parties.
Mr. aerjeant Vane:max, for the Defendants, Ro-
bert and Henry Kennett, took various technical ob-
jeCtions to the record and proceedings in the course
of the cause, all of which were over-ruled by the
Court ; and, in a very able address to the Jury, he
contended, that it had not been shewn that these
parties were seen at any one time together ; and to
prove the allegation in the information, that they
were consulting and conspiring to defeat the effects
of a Commission of Baisierupice duly adjudged and
declared, it was necessary to br;ng these parties
together, arid to prove. that the Comn:ission was
a good Ansi valid one. Brackley Kennett was then
out of the question; Playfair ha! nothing to do
with it, but merely as a nominal assignee, and the
other two were not found together at any one time.
He should also show. in pro.d, that them were seve-
ral Afts of Bankruptcy committed, and a valid and
io,,a Ale petitioning creditor's debt su:esisting long
anterior to the present Commission.
Having gone into these proofs, which the Court
did not think sufficient,
Lord Ecatesoesouart, in summing up the evi-
dence to the Jury, observed, that, in order to prove
a conspiracy, it was certainly necessary' to show two
persbns, at least, concerned 3 but it did not follow
that they were to be found ai2ually in the •same
room together ; it was sufficient to spew that they
had ecru/ in concert.
The Jury immediately brouglit in a Verdi& of
Guilty, against Robert Kennett, Henry Kennett.
and William Playfair.

POST-HORSE DUTY.
On Saturday morning, the Commissioners of the
Stamp Office, met in the Great Room, in the Crown
and Anchor Tavern, to lett to farm, for three years,
the Pos:-Horse Duty, according to the conditions
advertised. Mr. Estcourt, the Solicitor to the Corn-
missionem, attended them, and put up the several
distri&s. When a bidding was made, he placed a
glass before him, made like an hour-glass, contain.
ing sand, that took about ten minutes or a quarter of
an hour to run out, and, when all the sand was run
out, he declared the last bidder the purchaser.
During the time the sand was running out, he dis-
played as great oratorical abilities as a regular pro-
fessor of the hammer. The following sums were
given for the different distrias:

'Phe letting., we understand, exceeded the for-
mer three years. 23.8601.
Between four and five hundred gentlemen at-
tended as bidders. Those who proved the farmers,
deposited an eighth of their bidding. It being ne-
cessar y that those who intended to he the farmers
should have in their pockets considerable sums, for
the purpose of making the deposit, which they are
obliged to do in bank notes, msmbers of gentlemen
have had their pockets picked to che amount of seve.
ral thousand pounds at the former meeting. The
Commissioners, to avoid these depredations, on Sa-
turday, engaged Messrs. Macmanus, Savers, Towns-
end, and 'Riven, to attend, and we did not hear of
any loss being sustained.
