the situation of s-cretary' and treasurer to Lie trus-
tees of 'time puhl,c works at Gaspent, where there
was a sharp contest between them. A meeting of

deman, a friend of the Priseristor, adding, lisel he
wished .the Protecuter would take- notice of %Who

had been alluded to, ethic.. he consider,d
tepte-

could swrotest itself for their not interfering on the
part of Mr. Minehin, was, that the feeli .gs must

DU CDSLLIOT W. THE &met or a•airraiona.
This was an anion by the assignees of Signior
Delpini, against the Wend:int, as executer of the
late Earl, and was tried at the Si:tutgs after last
Hilary Term, when a yerdin of 4,E001. was ob-
tained for the Plaintiffs, tiler being no defence
made at that time, as reported in our Paper cf the
18th of February last. .
Mr. PAPA s nneed for a new trial. Mr. Delpini
was the maj.r dome, First Lord of the Treasury,
and Grand Purveyor to the late Earl, of fashionable
notoriety ; and being a great arnocur in thea-
tricals, Dlpit.i'and his w.fe were principally em-
ployed in the saperintenla. ce of those an,usements,
at his Lord hip's country seat, It appeared on the
trial, th.tt the ice Earl had dissipated hi: revenues so
much, that a butcher would not leave a joint of meat,
or a musician blow an instrument, unless Delpini
previously disbursed, or became personally reap n-
sible. In this way, his demands against the Noble
Lord became great, and. in the sequel, amounted
to upwards of 4,0001. Ihe Defendant had 'graded
pi ne Swinton:v-1; but entild not maintain this plea
on the trial, so a ve relief was obtained for the
Plaintiffs. The Learned Counsel, however, stated.
that the present Earl had *Ewell, paid, out of his
own money. debts due by the deceased Lord to the
amount of 180,4,01.; and that it was solely owing
to accident, and the indisposition of his Solicitor,
that he was not able to produce vouchers to main.
tain his plea upon the former trial. These s „uch.
ers were now ready to be produced, and he was
willing to bring tie amount of the verdin into
Court, to abide the event of a new trial.
Upon these latter conditions, the Court granted
the Rule.
