SPORTLVG INTELLIGENCE.

WINCIIESTEII.—SIWOTI N G.—Though the birds were so wild
that scarcely one covey in ten would allow the dogs to come within
gun-shot, yet Colonel Hawker (who was on the Ist day laid up
unwell in London, and consequently did not begin till the 4th) had
the best day's sport that was, we believe, ever known, for one per-
son, in the neighbourhood of Andover. He bagged twenty.eight
brace of partridges and seven hares, making 83 head of game to
nine hours. This he accomplished by seleeang an open manor
first placing markers, and then riding the birds down, with what its
calls " charges of cavalry," before he began shobting.

LAW INTRLLJGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, SATURDAY, SEPT• 9.

MILLER V. Davis.
An injonction was applied for on the part of the plaintiff, a mer-
chant, for a writ of Ne Emit Rego°, restraining the defendant,
likewise a merchant, at Trieste, from leaving the kingdom. The i
defendant, and a person of the name of Fletcher, who had lately
been declared a bankrupt, had entered into a speculation with the
'plaintiff, to freight a ship with bugar. The George and Alice was
amerdingly sent out ; but the speculation failed, and upon a
balance of accounts the plaintiff found a sutu of 1,437/. due to
him. The defendant had recently arrived in England, to settle
tbe.affaies of Mr. Fletcher, and the plaintiff was dolmas that the
account should be settled before he left the country.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that, except in matters of
account, a writ of this nature (which might be termed an equi.
table arrest) could not be ordered but where an equitable debt
existed. . .

The Learned Counsel contended, that as all the parties were co-
partners in the speculation,this was clearly an equitable debt.
The LORD LllANcet.tott said, he would take the papers home
and read them. It was very important to be peculiarly careful in
granting a writ of this nature, which so intimately concerned the
liberty of the subject.

STEPHENS V. ■UTTERWORTH.
Both the parties in this case are law booksellers. The plaintiff
zomplained that the defendant had published, and was publishing,
a pirated edition of a work of which he had a copyright, and prayed
for an injunction to restrain such publication. The Learned
Counsel by whom the motion was stated expressed a wish that the
case should stand over till Monday, to afford time to prepare and
file affidavits. This was of course allowed.

AN 131 POSTOR.

James Wilson was brought from the watch-house by Reeves, the
watch-house-keeper. for attempting to impose on the charitably dis-
posed, with a fictitious representation of a case of distress, for which
he was soliciting benefactions.
The prisoner was tidily dressed, and the better to impose on
those he applied to, as a person not likely to he guilty of a fraud,
had a little bundle of rags attached m a watch-ribaud, at the end of
which was suspended a copper seal, well polished. In his pocket
were three benefit tickets for Carroll, the boxer. When Reeve
searched him, he said he picked up the seal and rags, and merely
put them to his fob in a joke ; but begged that he would not ex-
pose him before the Magistrate.
John Steward said the prisoner came into his shop on Friday
night, in company with another, who escaped. The prisoner pre-
sented a petition to hint, soliciting relief for a poor distressed widow
with a helple•s family, who had lost her husband by a coach acci-
dent—who was in a state of starvation, and had sohl the bed from
under her. At the top of the petition was a name for 55., and others
for half-crowns and shillings. Witness asked where the gentleman
lived who gave ris. ? the prisoner raid in South Molton-street. Well,
Said witness, I can write a petition like that ; but, if it is true, I
will give you a shilling if you will take me to the gentleman ; the
prisoner agreed, and first took him to a milkman, who had gtven a
shilling, but refused to take him to the gentleman, therefore wit-
ness gave him in custody. The petition he tore up, and threw
away.
He was ordered to find bail.
DISCOUNTING A BILL.

Pat ri4 k Cunningßarn, who I/Oricsfol3Tr..ictntecon, the coach.
maker, in Little Queen-street. was brought from St. Giles's watch.
Itouse on the alleged charge of obtaining 18/. 10s. under false pre.
tences. _ _ _

William Less, a young countryman, from Buckinghamshire,
had gone into Mr. Langston's public•house. in Drury-lane, on
Friday, where he met Cunningham and some others drinking wine.
He joined the party ; the conversation turning on money, Cunning-
ham said he had a good bill for 20t, which lie wanted discnuntrd,
that had but a month to run; witness agreed to give him 181. 101.,
but, reflecting afterwards he was going into the country next day,
repented his bargain, and offered to return the bill and receive the
cash, minus 10s.' which Cunningham refusing, witness gave him
in charge. He had not made inquiry as to the genuineness of the
bill, but charged the prisoner because he refused to return the
money for the 104. douccur.
Mr. DYER told him there was no ground to charge him with
receiving money under a false pretence; it was his own voluntary
offer. The bill might be a good one, and in that case he had laid
himself open to an action for usury. lie would recommend them
to go out and settle it.
They retired; but Mr. Langston said Cunningham would not
give up the money.

BOARD OF STAMPS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.
St 11,-1 trust your impartiality will induce you to permit
me, in defence of the 'ate Mr.Breumer's character, as solicitor
of stamps in Scotland, to put one question to the Chairman
of the Board of Stamps. The question is this, " Whether
it be possible to frame an information for the recovery of a
penalty upon the Bth sect. of the Ytth Geo. 111. c. 53, re-
cited in his letter to Mr. Bindley of the 30th of March,
1818, without inserting an averment that the plate
which was exposed to sale before the same was duly marked
was plate of the standard directed by law ?"
It appears to me that it is not possible ; for this is what
is termed a necessary averment. If my idea be correct, it
inflows that Mr. Bremner c•Ould not have prosecuted with
effect without proving that the plate (silver) so exposed to
Fah., was plate of the quality of llnz. 21wt. per lb. Troy. I
will venture to say that the plate was not of that quality,
for of plate made in Scotland or England, and not submitted
to the Assay Olfice. a very small proportion, if any, is plate
of the legal standard. Upon this question, and the quality
of the plate purchased by Mr. Waddell, depends the pro-
priety or impropriety of Mr. Bremncr's conduct, and con-
e sequently the justice or injustice of the Chairman's ani-
matlyersiett on this point. I remain, Sir, yours, &c.

considerable alarm has been excited by a very sudden appearance
of what is termed the red rust ; it is not the mould, but the hops
are of a tan colour, and it appears rapidly increasing, which will
injure both colour and quality. Many grounds on the borders of
Sussex appear to be affected with it.

IX RE RAMSDEN,

Mr. RCSSEILL p:caented a petition on behalf of the bankrupt,
praying to be released from confinement on account of his health.
File petition was supported by an affidavit of a surgeon, who tie-
eland that the bankrupt had had an operation performed on him,
and was in so debilitated a state that further confinement might
prove his death.
:11r. AIONTAGU said that he had been informed that the
bankrupt had that very morning been seen in high health and
spirits, playing the lusty game of fives, or rackets. Either,
therefore, his Learned Fnend's story was incorrect, or the sur-
geon who attended the bankrupt had been so skilful as to make a
coniplete cure as soon as the disease was ascertained.
Mr. Rusin:Lt. relied upon the affidavits in support of the peti-
tion. The bankrupt had been afflicted with an abscess, with respect
to which the operation had been performed. An affidavit was surely
requisite to er.ntradiet these statements.
Mr. 3losTant; said, he was in possession of an affidavit made
this morning, declaring the fact be had related. The probability
was, that another man had been mistaken fur the bankrupt. If
that were so, it would be nearly as ludicrous a mistake as the man
who buried another man's wife, thinking it was his own, went
through the accustomed ceremonies of grief, and did not find out
the error until it was all over. . . . .

...
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that whether the bankrupt was
seen phying atfirrs might be doubtful, but .it Wei plain that both
Mr. Russell and Mr. Montagu we re at 1/ tea and ,amts ! The
better way would be to postpone the matter until the affidavits were
properly sworn and filed.

GRIEVES HASTINGS.
Mr. SPENCE applied for an injunction to stay waste and ur.
paralleled injury. The plaintiff's were trustees appointed for drain-
ing certain tens in Lincolnshire, called the Deeping Fens, and for
keeping and preserving the riven Glen and Wethion. The de.
fendants had. it appeared, diverted these streams, by cutting sari.
ous drains and dykes, to the injury of several proprietors of mills
worked by the course of the waters. The Learned Counsel stated
the facts from affidavits, but no dates were given as to the time
when the injuries were done.
The Loan CHANCEL Loa diought he conld not grant the in-
junction until the errors in the affidavit were amended.

Air. SPENCE said, that as the wet season had set in to all ap.
pearance, perhaps the injuries would not now be so severely felt.
The Loup CHANCELLOR slated, that he should sit on Mon-
day and Wednesday in the next week, and should sit no more. On
Tuesday he should he engaged on other business. lie should give
some judgments before he rose, and those which he omitted could
be handed to the parties during the vacation. This would be his
business and entertainment during the holidays. With respect
to motions of a pressing nature, lie could decide them at his own
house, if necessary, during the vacation. if they found their way
to him, lie would find his way through them, and decide them
equally satisfactorily, without the aid of counsel.

DRURY-L4NE THEATRE.

The performances at this theatre last night were, The
llieinis, A Dub h Fair, and Joh* Brown ; and the novelty
of the evening was a Mr. Burke, from the Dublin theatre,
in the character of Sir tacius O'Trigger, in Sheridan's
admirable comedy. The delmtunt appears to be well ac-
quainted with the business of the stage, and when we
have said that, we have said all that our critical justice
will allow us to say in his favour. His reception was
the coldest, for a first appearance, we ever recollect to
have witnessed; and nothing occurred in the course of
the !performance to take off the chilling effect of the in-
troduction. Mr. Burke made no points, and his brogue
was by no means rich, although just arrived from the
place where it ought to havestrengthened most luxuriantly.
Mr Lucius probably is a dangerous part for a candidate for
public favour to appear in. A London audience has fresh
in its re-collection Jack .Tolinstone's inimitable acting in the
part, and that is an unfavourable circumstance to any other
person who attempts it. His rich brogue; the national pecu-
liarities of character which he so completely made his own—
(for no one could see Johnstone in Sir Lucius without being
convinced that, in the whole catalogue of Irish eccentrici-
ties, there was not one that did not belong to him)—made
him at once the Irish Baronet that Sheridan drew. But,
after making every allowance for this unfavourable circum-
stance, we still consider Mr. Burke's as a very mediocre
perfortnance ; and we are the more inclined to believe that
lie is not likely to add to his fame in a second attempt,
should lie be induced to make it, because we did not wit-
ness any of the minimise hone of a debut. Dowton's Sir
Authouy Absolute was every thing we could wish. Harley
was very good in Acres, after he got rid of that execrable
that dress. Mr. Bennett's Freak/and was deep tragedy;
why does he whine in that dismal manner? Mrs. Davi-
son's Julia was admirable.; and Mrs. Harlowe's Mrs.
Mafoprip convinces us that she will very soon equal Mrs.
Davenport in these sort of characters. Mrs. 11 .IV eSe s
Lydia Languish was very lackadaisical indeed. But,
undtr existing circumstances, we will say no more on that
suliject : at any other time we should not have let this lady
off so easily. The house was full at half-price.

GREEK PIRATES.

According to an article which we have extracted from the
Oriental Spectator received yesterday, the Greek pirates
surrounded the English brig Skylark, and carried off every
thing that was moveable, and even left the crew without
any revisions. _

" SMYRNA, JeLY 28.

"Captain Davis, commanding the English brig the Sky-
lark, sailed again from Napoli on the 11th July, after having
landed his cargo of cannon and military stores. The Greeks
received with contempt this tribute of European enthu-
siasm, saying to the Captain, in a reproachful tone, ' What
have we to do with cannon? It is money that we want—
it is money that you should have brought us!' They suf-
fered these cannon and their carriages to be landed on the
beach, and a month afterwards, when the Skylark sailed,
the sand was beginning to cover them. The inhabitants of
the neighbouring houses came every morning to break up
the carriages to light the fires in their kitchens.
" Captain Davis sailed for Smyrna: he had some pack-
ages on board, and furniture to the amount of 30,000
piastres. On the 20th July, at day-break, he was sur-
rounded off Capo Doro by seven mistics—resistance was
vain. The deck was soon covered with 300 pirates, who
stole all they could lay their hands upon. Money, goods,
arms, provisions, clothes, cordage, sails—every thing, in a
word, was carried off They even stripped the officers and
sailors of their shirts. The unfortunate crew were two days
without food, anti afterwards bad the good fortune to meet
an American corvette, which kindly gave them provisions
fur their support till they could reach Smyrna."

A DUTIFUL DAUGHTER AND A VIRTUOUS

-MOTHER. ;
Twangs Oretes.—Yeaterday PO& Speyer, a young wo-
man, having rather a dubious ki A
od of character, wed gut to the bar,
charged with attempting to stab her mother, a very stipient, decent.
looking, elderly female.
Mrs. Patter, the mother, stated, that ha daughter had, on Tues-
day evening last, without any provocation upon her part whatso.
ever, attempted to stab her with a knife, which she certainly would
have done were it not for the deftly interference of a young girl,
who took the knife out of her hand. She said that her daughter
was one of the most violent tempered, wicked girls on earth, and
that she was actually afraid of her life.
During her mother's recital Miss Priscilla evinced the most un.
governable impatience,. continually interrupting her. and exclaim-
ing, "Oh, you vile wicked woman, you would swear any thing."
Being called on for her defence, she most vociferously denied the
truth of her mamma's story.
Mr. BALLA NTI E, addressing the mother—Pray what arc you,
Madam ?
The daughter—She keeps a house for girls, Sir, and supports
herself by the wages of infamy.
The mother—Olt, you shocking girl !
The dadgister..Can you den iit Did you not superintend one
of MIL Urembedein's establishments ? and the cause of your
hatred towards no is because I effused to join the infernal mew
which was in the house.
The mother—Oh, it's false. You are such a diabolical girl, that
you have bees bete three times before.
The dehgluer—Yor nothing disgraceful.

CORONERS' I QUESTS.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH, AND EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT
or PARISH OFFICERS.—OR Tuesday last en inquest was held
at the Fox and Bull, Knightsbridge, on the body of James Har-
ding, the Circumstances attending the death of whom excited great
interest and occupied the attention of the Coroner and Jury three
entire evenings. The Jury sad required the assistance of a aur.
geon to aid them in coming to a decision, and this was refused by
the parish officers. The Coroner, therefore, after some strong
comments on their extraordinary itehaviour, drew up the following
special decision, which met the approval of the Jurors :—" That
the said James [larding was accidentally run over by a cart he was
in ; that he was afterwards taken up and lodged in Knightsbridge
watch-house, as set intoxicated person; that he died in the said
watch-house: that there was a green wound or hole in the pit of
the stomach, as also an old wound on the head; but as to the cause
of his death no evidence appeared before us Jurors, although we
have adjourned twice for the purpose of obtaining the advice of a
medical gentleman, for which the parish-officers of St. :ilargaret's,
Westminster, were applied to, but refused to furnish one."
BARBAROUS MURDER AT BROMI.E't'.—An inquisition was
yesterday taken at the Rose and Crown public-house, on view of
the remains of an Irish labourer, named I).•tinis Sullivan. In eli-
citing the circumstances connected with his death, the Jury had a
difficult task, as the witnesses not wily came forward reluctantly,
but gave their testimoi.y in a vety contradictory style. The body,
which lay at the house of the deceased, presented the most appall-
ing spectacle,, and exhibited marks of the severest personal vio-
le:.ee. It appeared that the deceased had been beaten by some of
his countrymen with a bludgeon and other weapons, when going
horns Off Saturday night, at a late hour from the house where the
inquest was held, and that the:e had previously been a quarrel
arnoLgst them. TM.: Jury brought in a verdict of " mur-
derrtgainst Florence Cattily, Dennis Carthy, and Florence Bryant.
The two fanner are in eiratody, but the latter has abseooded, and
the police ate in pursuit of hitu.

ples, I am most anxious that each branch of the Legislature should
'exercise its own proper influence, free and unshackled by the other.
Therefore it is, that, while loyal to the King, I consider it essential
to the sound and permanent prosperity of the Country, that the
House of Cowman should be a fair mid free representation of the
Commons of England. Of tire independence inseparable from the
character of an honest Representative of the people of this great
and free country. no man can have a deeper impression than my-
self ; and while I shall very greatly prize the high honour a repre-
senting you in Parliament, I shall endeavour to merit that dis-
tinction, by an anxious and unremitting attention to your cum.
mercial and manufacturing interests ; by the most watchful guar-
dianship of your corporate rights; by an unbroken attendance on
my publis duties; and by an unceasing endeavour to promote your
collective and individual welfare.

FORICOUGHS:

PECTORAL ESSENCE OF COLT SFOOT.—The
herb Coltafoot has long been distinguished for its excellent
Properties in the cure of Coaghs and other Pulmonary Complaints:
and this Essence has, in the course of a long practice, been found
the most sate and effectual remedy for Coughs, and all Disorders of
the Lungs. It gently opens the breast, and immediately gives
liberty of breathing, without any danger of taking eold, and thus it
altiards great relief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the tickling
which provokes frequent coughing, cleanses the small glands, re.
lases the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the ‘essels.
Thus it will prevent Consumptions. if taken before the Lungs are
ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals rawness
and soreness of the chest. -

This Pectoral Essence is prepared by-JA 31 ES RVA N. Surgeon,
in Bristol ; and sold in bottles at 3a, 13d. each, by F. Newberg end
