day night, and was lettened to for the usual time,
two acts, with the utmost Attention. Orlando

it was possible to compensate, the 1n.., of the more
sztetiiiive powers of the origiaal proprietor, Benham.
At half play the O. P.'s, as usual, appeared in the
pit, but more feeble than ever. They could not., fur
some time, either raise the 0. P. dance, or create
sufficient confrifflop.to interrupt the performance.—.
As fresh supplies, however, poured in, they ma-
naged to keep up the row at such a pitch, es to,de-
putty the latter part of the Opera. and the whole of
the Entertainment, which was The child of Nature.
Severlil placards were hoisted, and battles ensued
between the standard-bearers mid those who
attempted to pull theta down. Among the
most prominent•of these placards were two or
three in the form of large caricature prints.—One
was a caricature of Mr. 'Neruble, asking what
do you want ?" while a bull, pursued by a consta-
ble with a staff in his hand, stoops with his horns to
toss up st, medallion, on which was written 0. P:
This was inscribed

" An insulted British Public will never submit to a de-
graded Malinger."
Another displayed much erudition—it exhibited
a serpent, the emblem of eternity, and had fur

None of the red were either new or reinaricable
for invention or spirit. The 0. P. badges seem to
have given place to the medal, as very few of
the former were visible in the house. The
numbers of arareldisis were, however, considerable
at the tr.:Titillation of the evening, although they
did tint venture upon ary daring exploit. Indeed,
they were more quiet than on any former occasion,
end the only iodieati.ons of their mightiness were
in the daite'e, the swig, the groan, and the cheer.—
A cost, we suppose the Paine given on • former
night to the Sans Culotte. who Inst his in the fray,

After the curtain dropped, a song and chorus of
groans fluidly concluded the business of the alight,
and the disturbers dispersed quietly.

stances under which this coininisi,ion was issued,aosi
which be was about to detail, were of a moat singu-
lar nature. It appeared, by the petition in his build,
that Mr. Firmin resided at the Rookery. near Col-
chester, and was a respectable -attoruey, and a wan
of property ; that he bad the .Wisfortutie to labour
wider n lowness of spirits, at certain lealfolllll of the
year, during which he used to imagine tiiiuself
un-
able to discharge his debts ; is appeared, that a
geutleinan'of die irime of Moore was indebted to
him in the aunt of 10,0001. which, though :veil .4e.
cured, occasioned him, at those intervals, great un-
easiness; Petitioner was accustomed, upon
'those occasions, to consult with Mr. Woudgate,
• a solicitor, and his relation, for advice. Mr.

IVuorigate, who peifectly understood the nature
of his disorder, used to tripe a of him to keep
up his spirits, as the only thing- necessary to the
success of his affairs. in the year 1608, the Pe-
titioner was attacked with this milady, aiol Mr.
Woodgate, for the purpose of rinsing his mind, drew
up an account of his circumatitices; from which
it appeared, that tw was possessral of 40001. after
paying all his debts, and I,iOul, re-year. Subse-
quent to this, Mr. Woodgate told Colonel Master,
(the Petitioner's in-other-tit-law) that the best way
to act with respect to Air. Firtnio, would be to get
an act of bankruptcy issued against het, mad that
it would be necessary to have a friendly lawyer to
conduct it. Upon this, his affairs were again esti-
mated, and it appeared his debts amounted to
42,0001. and his property to 60,0001. Mr. Coke
reinotistratA against the bankruptcy, which put an
end to it fur the present. Upon this, a clsodestitte

and Colonel Master upon the subject, winch ended

into a most unfortunate mistake. How they could
have considered mich a measure advantageous to
hien or his family, it was illirMleibld tr guess.—
The act If bankruptcy, which they made out
against lons, was a short absence from his house
while on a visit with a Mr. Skely, a relation of his.
Upon the whole, the circumstances Were such, that
he trusted there would be no difficulty in grautiog
the prayer of the petition.

that it ens oat neceitary to attribute tivitive., in

tion, lie trusted that they would not be sanctioned
in involving him in row. The grounds of this ease
be cou,idered so extremely prominent, as to pre-
chide the necessity of a ruteute discussion.
Mr. Nluaysaus (upon the same side) apologized
for taking up the time of the Court. es:iecially alter
the able statement which Sir Samuel Hominy had
made ; but the question was of such a kind, sad
the result so important 'to the, future peace, per.
haps to the life of his client. that lie would claim their
indulgence in the present instance. lie contended
that Mr. Firmin was a professional gentleman of
property, at} lie titre the act of bankruptcy was
issued; and that he was so. to the knowlmlge both of
Mr. Woodgate and Colonel Master. The Learned
Gentleman went through all the eircurostanCes of
the case, with great inieuteness ; he produced affi-
davits, not only tate-ming that Mr. Woodgate
uol-
vised and planned the bankruptcy ; bet that lie
threatened, in cuss: Mr. Firinin shonld resume bu-
siness again, to cry down his credit. In the answer
given to this, it was allowed, that he might have re-
monstrated against his resuming husiii. as ; hut de-
nied that he had ever threatened to cry down his
credit. The bankruptcy was the act of Mr. Wood.
gate and Colonel Mister. Mr. Finish] had nothing
to do with it, nor his friends. Mr. Coke, so far from
agreeing, offered a sum of four thousand pounds N
keep it off, if possible ; the answer giveo by Mr.
Firmin to this was curious; he said that no
such offer had been made to hits ; he supposed
it was made to Mr. Woodkstes who took care to
conceal it. Ile was himself willing to execute
a deed of trust, hut nothing short of bankruptcy
would satisfy those gentlemen. lie did nut wislel
to ascribe improper motives to them, but it was int-
possitile not to see that many presented therte•elves,
which might he ascribed to such conduct. He he-
lirvrd the intention was originally good, but
that inteution was exceeded. The treatment of Mr.
Firmin might have been the result of kindne,s,
but every one meat see that it was a mo.t mistaken
kindness, something.like that of the bear to the
gardener, who, in its solicitude to pi otect his slum-

"111;8 was au action fir setting aside a debt of

The ground charged wits usury. it appeared, that
the Drrendatit, for the accommodation of Morris,
had sold out stock, to the atilt:mat of 15101. and
had advanced 17001. in cash. The condition of the
loan was, the payment of the interest of stork sold
ant at the rate of 3 per Gent. grit would have yield-
ed the Defendant, had he not sold out ; for the
17001. at the legal interest of 5 per cent. ; and ou
the farther condition, ut the period of repaying the
foal. of replacing the 15001. stock.
This, it was contended for the Plaintiff, was usti7
emus in two respects ; first, us the'stock was at 52.
adieu the '3OOl. was sold out, so that it did toot
yield a MI n sufficient to yield an interest of 9 per
ceut. ; secondly, that the
,replacing of that stock at
the rate of more than 7n was an unequal and usuri-
ous stipulation.
Mr. Scujeaut BtsT shrived, that cases in point,
