Making rlijellioes for him, and arguing against
them for thediselves; Ter hia.par4 be said, he never
meant to rely on this one, with reaped to the pay-
ment of the bill, hut almOst entirely to confine hire-
self to that of the I)efeniant's isti:,g an Attorne?,
and as such, entitled to the prisiiege ot pet being
arrested.

Mr. Justice Roosts then said, the question to be
considered was, whether an Attorney, having been
engaged in various other businesses, and baring
submitted ogee to an arrest, could, is the same
transaSiou, on being arrested a second time, claim
his privilege.
Serjeanr Beer said, he certainly could not. He
remembered beitig in a case, in the King's-Bench,
exatly similar to this. The Defendant that was
an inn-keeper and an Attorney. and moved to set
aside an arrest, on die ground of privilege. Lord
Kenyon discharged the Rule. remarking. that a
man should not be allowed to draw beer, and draw
writs."
Serjeant Sorenson argued, that M. Hall, being
formerly a cheese-monger, was nothing to the pre-
sent case, and having denied positively, that he had
ever kept a music-shop, but had merely passed
these bills, for the accommodation of his sister, who
did keep it, conceived that it was imperative iu the
Court to make his Rule absolute.

Mr. Justice Ronan went over the •arious points
of the argument, and concluded by saying, that he
d.d not conceive the Con wis bound to grant such
motions as this. if the ..•citmstalces -of the Casa
were unfavourable to the Defendant ; and he did
not thi•tk that, in the present case, they were such
coulJ induce the Court to interfete.

Mr. Justice Cu s meat was of the same opinion,
and the Rule was d;:chargeel, with all the costs,
except those incurred by Mr. Hill's atlidaxit, and
the copies of it.

Y •R I. BOROCGII-ST REV,.

Yesterday, Shrine S&lscogo,f, alias James Ncbmidt,
underwent an exa:nination. on the charge of steal-
ing a 131. bill of exchange from the apartruei:t of
Charles de Mervey, a Fr,neh rmigran*, residing in
Sheiter-court. Chandos-street, Covent-garc!..n ft
appeared. by the evssence, that the Prisoner we• t
to the house of Sarah Wangsr, where the Prose-
cutor resisted, in his absence, ind, after wailing
ab ut two hours. went up stairs. forced the d"or
of the apartment, and carried away papers, the pro-
perty of the Prosecutor. Mr. De fvlervey stated,
that the bill of exchange was amongst the papers,
and he had never since heard of it.

There appeared a Rood deal of ambiguity in the
ease altogether, for toe Prosecutor adverti6ed the
bill, on Wednesday, as hying been lost. out of a
gentleman's drawer, or mislaid by some moans ; and
it was also proved. that an intimacy subsisted be-
tween tie p Inks, and another 1. renchman. of the
name of C.iss.)n, who was Nklid to be a partner ia
trade with, Do ?sleeve: ; and by his influence the P,i-
soner 6,.creted hitnsel: to the Prosecutor's house, wirh
his books, Ste. to escape the vittlaoct of his creditors,
when he became a bankrupt, two years since ; the
apartment being in a dark coon, not likely to be
found by bailiff!.
_ _

In defence, it was stated by a Counsel, that, how-
ever hasty the Prisc net- might have been in searching
the Prosecutor's apartments, he should be able to
prove before a Jury, ti:at he WAS seeking tot certain
documents, by whic). he could recover property, and
the aft was no.7:int; more than a trespass. •1 ne
bissitsrasrE eggs of orinion, that the charge was
su:Ecientle • tuiished for the considervi .1. of a
Jury, an .:. Prisoner •vas fully committed for trial.

A few days since died, at Knightsbridge,
IL Esq. at the advanced age of 72, at which place
e resided for upwards of twenty years previous to
•iis death. Mr. B. wAi a very singular charaeter, and,
from iii' eccentricities, was generally thought to be
A li:tle deranged. In such opinion, however, the
writer of this article can by no means concur, unless
strong passions, an irritable disposition, a lively ima-
gination, great classical learning, and an extensive
reading and observation, be considered as the cinisii-
ttint parts of a madman. He was principally re-
markable for an inordinate love of the canine
manic' ; but even this was not without some rea-
s•in, as it appears he was saved from assassination,
in his travels through France and Italy, by
'a dog. He was never, till lately, without four
or five very Litre ones of the setter kind, all
lineally descended from the very dog that saved' his
life. Lately, the old stuck was reduced to one, and
the others, in part, supplied by a small terrier, and
an enormous dog. of the Albany breed. They wer
fed and lodged in, 1 may say, a sumptuous stile ;
beef-steaks, buttered rolls, ginger-bread, and pastry,
were nn uncommon diet for them ; and, as to lodg-
ing, one or two slept in the -room with himself;
the others were provided with mattresses in other
apartments of his house.. lie kept two lads to
. wait on them ; and, at stated hours, however bad the
weather, and Lin spite °revery other consideration,
be, himself, took them out for air and ex.ncise ; the
last of those hoer' was between one and two in
the morning, which necessarily kept him up almost
all night. In addition to the dogs he kept,
he had, as be termed them, a'grcat many pensioners,
that regularly came, some from a great distance, to
be fed daily at his door ; and, frequently, when he
met a half-starved dog in his walks, he would take
him to a confeaioner's,and treat him with a shilling's.
worth of tarts, or (if a hawker of dog's meat
chanced to be near) to a more substantial meal of
horse-flesh. When any one of his dug's died, it
was placed in a kind of coffin—laid in state, fur a
day or two, with WAZ candles burning around, and
Mr. B. sitting in a disconsolate mood beside it—
after which, it was interred with great solemnity;
nn which occasion Mr. B. generally wrote an Elegy,
descriptive of the beauty and qualities of his depart-
ed friend, the dog; one of which, as a specimen, is
rubjained. By his last will, it appears he has be-
qtreathed 251 a year, to each of the dogs that were
living at the tire.,: of his decease. His wbole family
consisted of his canine friends, the two boys already
mentioned, and an old woman. He had an utter
aversion to physic; would, consequently, admit of
no assistance from the sons of medicine, nor suffer
any prison to approach him in his 'last moments.
Notwithstanding his whole affeCtion seemed to be
settled on his dogs, and there appears an evident
spirit of misanthropy in the following Elegy, yet lie
was not devoid of feeling for the human kind, and
many an indigent and unfortunate object will have
to deplore his death.
