Mr. PAM immediately Mee, and proceeded to
interrogate }us Lordship with respe& to transac-
ti.,ns in In:!ia, from the period of his appointment
to the post of Governor-General. A question being
put to the Noble• Lord, with respect to the opinion
he ente►tained of certain treaties, which had. been
Weed into vr:th the native Princes—
Mr. CARILOW rose, and said, that whatever
questions were asked should merely relate to facts.
lie apprehended that the opinion of the Noble Lord,
wi h regard to written documents, could not, with
prop.ietv, he asked; as the opinion the House
shou:d entertain, would be best known from the
treaties themselves.

Mr. P NUL sai.l, if he was not allowed tO put
the question, a part of his charge must remain with-
out proof.
Mr. GAR!tOW said, the only mode the Hon.
Cent' .man could pursue, was first to prove the
fad, and then to produce the treaty, to show is what
manner it was broken.
.Tr. JOHNSTONE did net think the Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Paul) would end himself in any
d;fficulty, as he could ask whether any demand was
made on the Vizier, in consequence of additional
troops ?
Mr. PAUL then proceeded with the examination.
Upon the question—" If the Nabob had made a
forcible representation of the condo& of the resi-
dent (Mr. Cherry), for imprOper interference,
would your Lordship have thought yourself
fed in c winning him at Lucknow ?"
Lord Teignmouth was about to read, from a pa-
per which he held ir his hand ; when
Earl TEMPLE begged the Noble Witness
might with& aw. He then submitted to the House,
whether it was proper the Noble Lord should read
his reply from papers, which were already before
the C immittee ? or whether it would not be better
to prevent the House from having garbled ex-
tracts from them enforced upon their attention,
a,id to save time, that the Witness should say at
once, that t'-e answer was to be found in the Papers?
Mr. FRANCIS said. he thought also that the
reading of Papers was anomalous, and that it was
the pred.ce, in such cases as this, for :he Wit-
nesses to refer to papers, for any purpo,e, beyond
that of refiedii•ig their memories.
Mr. ROSE considered it improper that the No-
ble Lord should be interrogated as to his opinion
upon any point, and thought that the testimony
ought to be confined to metier of fad.
Mr PAUL said, the ma/lice of reading from
papers had heen invariably pursued during the im-
peachm-rit of Mr. Hastings, and the Noble Lord
was merely Yeferring to memorandums which be
held to his band, for his individual use.
Mr. GAR ROW could not canimive what the
opinion of the Noble Witness, asked for in the in-
tierrogatory, could have to do with the malversatina
!barged against the Governor-General of India
!le hardly knew to what extent that House felt it-
. -self privileged to make such inquiries in a case of
the nanny or don before them ; but, certainly, in
*ay other plane, the min of evidence would not
permit ere enrol-, as to the opinion of witness.
Dr. LAWRENCE said, he 'thief tnoliWUr doe '
Hon. Gentlemen Garrow), that the House
had a lathe* of isrleiry, which awas sibt
_fettered
by judicial torm : but this question, he thought,
was quiteneyond objedion, as it was not one tendiog
directly to criminate the Defendant. Would not the
Hon Gentiernaa, in the situation of an Attorney-
G• net al, have been able, even in a court of justice,
to pus a question that should /red to legal evidence t
It was an endeavour to discover the situation of a
party. as in the case of a conspiracy, in which Lord
Hardwicke had laid down the law, that such an
inquiry was Admissible.
Mr. CAR !LOW said, be was not acquainted with
any predicts, •in such cases, that were not within
the rule of evidence; but coming from the Courts
below, and igtorantly, as it seemed, straying into
that House, he• was certainly disposed submissively
to receive the linson of the "Learned Dodor," on
the usage of Parliament, and then retire : but he
would first, in explanation, say, that if the House
really knew no Mounds, in miestions of judicature,
all the lawyers *ad been of opinion that it was right
to restrain then!. In reply to the question of the
•• Learned Drisbor," whether, as an Attorney-Ge-
neral. I e would! not, in certain cases, allow hearsay
twister( he woe ald tell the "Learned Dolor" thathe

certainly would not. When the matter of inquiry was
ultimately to b 4 laid before a Criminal Cows, the
" Learned D-sects,r' should know that no such thing
was admiued r i t must he all sterling, legitimate
evidence. Ile a insidered that the House must he
satisfied, as they -would answer upon their honour,
that there was gel rficient impeachable ground in the
facts proved b4cS e them, to institute a criminal trial;
and that they wit to not to collect it from the opi-
silos of witnesses. On the grourd; stared, he thought
these reasoningApiestions were not admissible.
Mr. W INDHI thought that thetone and style
of the Hon. and cLearned Gentleman was no? so
Modest as it bet !erne Gentlemen to address that
Howse in. He it mid not but thank him for the
leaner he had Oven to the House, and to his Hon.
Friend (Dr. La 9 reuse) in particular ; but for him-
self, he thought 1 e should not much profit by it.—
llts Learned Greitleman had stated, that he had
tome from the I:ornts below ; but he (Mr. Wind-
ham) thought h t had forgotten that, and fancied
himselt is. the (courts below still. (if hvigh, acid
hear/ bear Garrow bad spoken in an ele-
vated tone of and with some irony.) The
point on which they were at ismo was, whether the
inks of chile Ice in Westminster Hall, were
the elites which bound a Committee of that House?
He could not, ;however, cot ctive any thing more
opposite than the principles of the two Courts. Pro-
fwecitiv of inqtary were so different from proceed-
ings of judgmesst, that he would not trouble the
House vino an iitmetvation on thew. The techni-
cal 'Wes of con rts of law were not binding upon
that House. The Hon. and Learned Gentlemen
had dune no cretin to his judgment, to state that his
Learn. d Friend (Dr. Lawrence) had said, that
loose and hearses) evidence was admissible. What
had been advanded bad no such bearing. As to
the question which had been proposed, it related to
the duties of a situation which the witness had him.
self tilled ; and surely his opinion was the best which
the House could resort to for information. The
Right Hon. Gentleman concluded with the observe-
tiow that the last Speaker was as new in his protect

si►uation, as he was bold and coniiiant in that from
which he came.

Dr. LAWRENCE said, that the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman (Mr. Garrow) would find the
decision of Lord Hardwicke, to which he had al-
luded, expressed on the trial of Lord I .ivatt, which
he recommended him to read before lie next came
into the f lOU 3e. 1 hat Learned Judge had said, that
a conspiracy might he proved by hearsay evidence,
although not a criminal charge established by it.
I'he Howe was not now sitting as a Court of Judi-
cature ; but in case of an Impeachment, there would
be another process, after Managers, &c. had been
appointed.
Mr. C. ARROW expressed his surprise at the se-
verity of the language which had been applied to
him by a Right Honouraule Secretary (Mr. Wind-
ham). He had said, that he should i.ot profit by
the lecture which he (Mr. Gatrow) had delivered ;
—this was the second time he had ever addressed
that House, and if he was deserving of a rebuke,
the ledure of the Right H•muarable Geralcman
would certainly be profitable to him ; and he could
not but thank him for the courtesy and kindness with
which it had been given. He was not fencing with
the argument of the Learned Gentleman (Dr. Law-
rence), but would again decidedly express his con.
vidioa, that no hearsay evidence could be legally
received, to advance the convidion of any man, for
a crispiraey or otherwi,e.
Mr. MARTIN (of Galway) thought the question
was one extremely relevant and proper, as it was as
liable to lead to the jnstification, as the condemna-
tion, of the Noble Defendant. He thought there
was a wide difference between the erred the expres-
sion of an opinion would have on an illiterate jury,
in a court of law, and on an assemblage of the
Members of that House.

Mr. PAUL said, the question was necessary to
substantiate an important charge of tyraonous con-
duet on the part of Marquis Wellesley. The !Pre-
sence of the Resident, at Lucknow, was so obnoxious,
as to induce ,‘l.- Vizii-r to :indicate his throne.
Sir WM YOUNG thought that care ought to be
taken to pa ivaint the privileges and praCtices of the
House b g subverted by the rules of Courts of Law.
Sir AR I'HUR WELLESLEY thought the
praCtices of the Courts, for the discovery of truth,
ought to be adhered to.
Mr. ROSE said, the House was mneh indebted
to an Hon. and Learned Gentleman ( Ir. Garrow),
for the information he had bestowed ;ant coincided
in the opinion of the Hon. Bart. (Sir A Wellesley).
Mr. FRANCIS and Lord HENRY PE ITY
contended for the necessity of not submitting to the
guidance of inferior Courts, and thought the ques-
urn not improper.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the
House was ah'ut to divide on the question; when
Mr. WILBERFORCE suggested, that it would
be better, if possible, to put it in such a shape to the
witness, as would leave the House to draw their
conclusions fr ins the answer, and obviate the dif-
ference of opinion in the House.
Mr. PAUL said, that the question was of import-
ance, and others ofthe like nature would often occur.
A division was-again about to take place, but the
opposition was relinquished, and the House agreed
that the question should be put.
The examination then proceeded.
To malty of the interregatucies, Lord Teignmouth
answered by a reference to his minutes ; and in an-
swer to some questions relative to the raising of the
contribution upon the Nahob, from seven and a
half lacks. to seventy-six lacks, and whether he did
not think that sum stiff cent to defray the expenees
of defending the territory of Oude ? He replied,
that he thought it sufficient, but by no means an ex-
cessive contribution. When the examination went
on to about half-past ten o'clock, the Chairman
(Lord Folkstone) informed the Noble Lord,
that if he was fatigued, he was at liberty to sit
down. He then stated, that the Company was blond,
as well by their own interest. as by treaty, to de-
fend Oude against any enemy. The Company was
also bound to prottet the Nabob against any rebel-
lion; but, when the treaty was made, he did i.ot
foresee the probability of any such event. As to
the introduSion of troops into Oude in time of pro-
found peace. and at the expense of the Nabob, the
case never occurred ; and he should not have consi-
dered himself justified its doing so. He never knew
the Nabob guilty of any ad of cruelty or oppres-
sion, during the short period that he haJ any per-
sonal knowledge of him ; and as to his general
eharader, he referred to what appeared in big mi-
nutes. On some questions being put relative to the
consult/thin of treaties—

Mr. STURGES BOURNE ohjeaed to them,
as being the opinion of the Witness, not of a f.ta
bet of construaions, which the House was itself ct-
capable of making. Such an examination he
thought to be a waste of the time of the House.
Mrs. PAUL thought himself justified in qaest;on-
Mg Vie Noble Lord as to the construaion of bis
own treaty, which was conformable to precedent.
Mr. C. WYNNE thought the House was itself
capable to judge of the construftion of a written
paper. After some farther observations. the exa-
mination was resumod upon the construaion of die
treaty of 1798. The demand of territorial ceuion
in peace. would, in the Witness's opinion. be a vio-
lation of the treaty, except it was by way of secu-
rity for the payment of arrears.
Mr. WALLACE requested an adjonrnment for
five minutes, an order to present an Election Pe-
tition against the return lot Wexford, which, by
the orders of the House, could not be received
after twelve o'clock.

Mr. FOX suggeited whether, as it was already
eleven o'clock, and an chance of concluding the ex-
aminatian tn-night, it would not be better for the
Committee adjonrn till to-morrow
Mr. WALLACE said, he should not detain them
See minutes ; after which, the Committee was ad-
journed for five minutes, and leave given to the
Chairmin to ag.tin immediatcly.
Mr WALLACE then presented a Petition from
Mr. Gectge Davis, complaining of the eledinn of
Cesar Coickagh, Esq. as Knight of the Shire tor
the County of Wexford, on the ground that he had
sot been resident in Ireland for many rears.
The Petition was ordered to be txken into con-
sideiation on lhersday the Sd of July next.
The CurrlinW.le was then resasned, and the eli-
mination proceeded.
Anil, a WELLESLEY cross-examined

the Noble Whom, and several roestinnryrere also
put to him by Mr. Martin, Mr. Wallace, and some

other .Members. .
Dr. LAWRENCE asked whether the Nabob
was subjeft to habitual intoxication, contrary to the'
pratice of a good Mossoimin!
Mr. WALLACE objected to the question, as
papers to that etre& were denied upon his motion
on a former day.

Dr. LAWk.ENCF. thotn;ht it a proper question,
as others had already been asked reseeding the
Nabob's eharader.
Sir A. WELLESLEY also objected to it, as this
examination would be printed, and give the subjeds
of that Prince bad impressions of his ebarafler•
Mr. JOHNSTON}... observed, that the natives of.
that country did not take their impressions of cha-
raCter front any proceedings in this country.
Mr. WELLESLEY POLE objeded to the
question, but not on account of the effea it would
have on the case of the Noble Marquis.
Atter some further observations from Dr. Law-
rence, Sir A. Wellesley, Mr. Wallace, and Lord
'Archibald Hamilton,
Sir J. WROTITSLEY proposed to adjourn;
but agreed to defer it, merely for 10 minutes, when
he should move it again.
The question was then put, whether the Noble
Witness should answer the question---" It the NA-
bob were' in habits of intoxication contrary to asr
pradice of a true Musuilman
Sir J. \VROTTESLEY renewed his motion fur
an adjournment.
Mr. ROSE requested that he would withdraw it,
and stated his objeCtions to the qu,stion.
Sir JOHN acceded to ,' e r :quest.
On the question being put, and carried in the
affirmative, the answer was, "that he was in habits
of intoxication from spirituous liquors ; but had
such discretion, that ne seldom exposed himselt."
He further stated, that the Mahornetans values}
themselves more their religion than their mo-
rals. He did not know of such a maxim as " let
the chilli en of those who wear turbans be true to the
wearers of turbans," but recolle,9ed having himself
once excmanged his hat for a turban with one of the
natives.

After some further examination of the Noble
Lor 1, by Mr. Johnstone, Sir Arthur- Wellesley,
Mr. Huddleston, and Mr. Paul, the Noble Lord
was suffered to withdraw.
Lord FOLKESTONE then moved, that the
further consideration of the matter be proceeded oe
in a Comniittee this day."
Earl TEMPLE wished to be informed how long
the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Paul) thought it might
oe, before he would conclude the examination of the
other witnesses.
Mr. PAUL answered, that he had eight more
witnesses to examine upon the present charge, and
hoped to pet through them in two says. With re-
spell to the Ferrukabad charge, it was impossible
for him to proceed in it for at least three weeks or
a month. He th-refore moved, that the Order of
the Day, for taking the said charge into considera-
tion on Thursday next, be posspoaed to a future
days" we . r wao-meme..iiwgiy wood
Mr. FOX oaserved. that there was other business
of very great issportaace yet to be disposed of, but
if there was the least orospea of getting through
the evidence on this subjeA to-morrow or next day,
he had no objedtion, in the absence of his Right
Hon. Friend (Mr. Windham), to postpone the se-
cond reading of the Training Bill, which stood for
this day, until next week ; but then he hoped the
Hnu.e would suffer it to proceed to a Committee
without any further delay.
After some desultory conversation between Mr.
Fox, Mr. Paul. Lord A. Hamilton, Earl Temple,
Sir A. Wellesley, Mr. Wellesley Pole, mild the
Speaker, on the subjed of meeting at an early :.our,
for the purpose of examining the Witnesses aiuded
to, it was agreed, that the Speaker should take the
Chair as soon after three o'clock to-morrow, as pos-
sible, in order to dispose of as much of the private
and routine business before five o'clock, as could be
got through ; and, that at that hour, the House
should resume the further Plasmitiation of Wit :ease-,
in preference to every otl er public lan.luesi.
On motion of Mr. WELLEiLEY POLE, the
minutes of the evidence were ordered to he printed.
After which the other ori'ers Gf the day were die-
pitied of, and at One o'Clock the House adjourned.

EAST INDIA NOUSE.

Yesterday a C nut of Direetors was held at the
East India Douse, when, after the eloceedings of
the former day had been read, and some other rou-
tine hu,iness was disposed of,
The CHAIRMAN called the attention of the Court
to the subjen of a Resolution of the Court of Di.
reCtiirs, granting a salary of 40001. per annum to
the Rixorder of Prince of Wales's Island. Having
adverted to the necessity et having a Court of Civil
and Criminal Jurisdiction in that Island, he said, he
understood the Gentleman who had been appointed
to that situation, was highly eligible to the office,
and had been well recommended by Government.

The Diredots had wished, and proposed, that a
Mayor and Aldermen should have been appointed
to administer justice, but His Majesty's Ministers
thought proper to interfere, and propose, that this
ollice of Recorder should be established; and the
Court of Diredors having maturely considered the
Plan laid before them for the due administration of
justice, in that Island, approved of this meatur‘
The Resolution being read,
Mr. Jois vas use said, that consistent with the de-

could not conceive why so enormous a salary sb6uld
be granted for suth a situation, in an island not so
big as the Isle of Wight, where a Judge would have
nothing scarcely to do, and Whose salary for one
year, would cover all t.xpences of litigation that
might arise in ten. He did not expect that the
Court of Proprietors would iupport the Direaors
in any such measure as the present, when they suf-
fered any person wha•ever to be imposed upon
them by His Majesty's Ministers, who had endea-
voured to dictate to them upon every tobjeft, and
particularly in a very recent instance, when they en-
deavoured to force a minion of their own as Gover-
nor-Gene-al of India. [Here the Hooottraile Castle-
man wise coiled to order by Colooel .iymes.] He
replied, that in making use of that expression. he
meant no disrespea to His Majesty's Government,
but he could not gire his support to such measures,
and declared, in conclusion. as his opinion, that the
present establishment of Prince of Wales's Island,
would not exist two years longer.
Colonel Sviats spoke at some length in support
of the measure.
The Cita te is •ti again adverted to the importance
of the Island, both in a commercial and naval point
of view, as a situation long wanted by the Company.
He strongly reprobated the language made use of
by the Hon. Gentleman (Mi. Johnston.), and
thought it highly unbecoming in that Court, how-
ever he might be authorized to repeat it in that
determined cod strong opposition, which he so
aniformly gave to all measures of His Majesty's
Ministers in another place.
Mr. Jolt ris-ros% in explanation, replied, that be
never gave any decided or strong opposition lit His
Majesty's Ministers, except in the recal if Str
George Barlow, from the Government of India; a
man high in the confidence of the Company, and
wl.use condu6t, in every respect, was highly me-
ritorious. This measure, done in diteEt oppositiena
to the Company's wish, and also the appointment
of a person in his mom, totally adverse to their
inclination. he must ever reprobate.
Mr. It. TKOS:ITO/4 strongly condemned the con-
dug of the Honourable Chairman, for meting any

• LONDON,
THURSDAY, AMR 19.

A General Quarterly Court of Proprietors was
seld yesterday at the India House, for the purpose
it taking into consideration the Resolution of the
Court of Direants, granting a salary of 4,0001.
1.-year, to the Risco R *ER of Prince of Wales's Island.
k warm debate ensued upon the question for con-
inning the resolution of the Court of Direetors,
which was finally negatived without a division.
Mr. Joutss rows was the principal opposer of the
resolution ; and, in the course of his observations
against it, he took an opportunity to censure the
recal of Sir GEORGE BA RLOW. in very strong
terms. Sir CHA IL ES MONTAGUE °RISSER iS
the Gentleman appointed by Government for
the situation of Recorder in Prince of Wake's
Island. Of his ability to fill tl.e office there can
be no doubt. The objeltion was merely to the
salary, as too large, under all the circumstances of
die case.
The funds, yesterday, maintained the high prices
to which they arose on Monday.

His MAJVITY came to the tteen's Palace, yes-
terday, about twelve o'clock. I'he ROYAL Dyers
soon after paid their re:peels to Ilis M A.lll rY. At

We mentioned, in a former Paper, the arrival of

homeward-bound Jamaica fleet, at Cork, on Wed.

the fleet are copied from Me Cork Mercantile Ciranule
_ .

of
the 13th instant :
The fleet, consisting of 87 sail of merchantmen,
under convoy of the Atlai, of 74 guns ; Mahshar, of
50 ; and Eeha, sloop of war, sailed from Jamaica on
the Bth April last. Eleven sail of vessels left the
onavny on the 17th.. On the 20th they fell in with
a French privateer, which made an attempt at cap-
euring some of the ships, but she, after being very
roughly handled,was beat off. She,notwithstanding,
stood on in the track of the skips, and on the night
of the 22d renewed her attempt, but her reception
was worse than what she had previously experienced,
and her success similar. On the 24th, they fell in
with three French privateers, but having been ap-
prised of their approach, the different ships contri-
buted volunteers from their crews, which they
put on board the Surprise of Glasgow, Daniel
M'Farland, master, bound to Liverpool, the
stoutest ship in company, and appointed her
Commod'ire. Thus prepared, they met the attack
of the privateers, and after an hour's warm fighting,
in which the Jwprise sustained her new chamfer
most gallantly, they beat them off, and so efFcflu.-
ally drubbed them, as to make a renewal of the ac-
tion on the part of the enemy, although they folk!
lowed the ships for several days, an ac not only!'
of imprudence, but of temerity. The privateers
were two schooners, and a felucca, mounting two
twelve • pounders, and from sixty to seventy men
each, and capable of using, when becalm2d, or
in very light winds, thirty-two sweeps. The ap-
parent state of the privateers, when they relinquish-
•d the aftion, made it probable that their loss in
men must have been heavy. The Surprise, nov.vith.
standing the length and sharpness of the conflifl,
only one mats wounded ; the Nde, one of the
ships in company, had a man killed. The ships
which parted from the convoy, were the Su, pm?,
Portniaa, P,',le, Aurora, Phche, t.iiv,ab,th, Barra,
ikaona, Chard, and Defiance. The whole ffe.:t, it
was hoped, would dicta their passage accuse ."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF LINO s-BENett, WAISMIN'II9,Itits 111. I
This morning a criminal informatien was moved I
for against a Gentleman in the. nei3l-tsiiii,hriod of li
Epsom (the names of the parties no: t,etr.f, men-
bnned, we are unable to state them )
do appeared open the affidavit on behalf of the
arplication, that the Complainant re,ided near Ep-
som for near five years, and had left that place of
residence for about two months, when 4.w:is age eed
that he and his family should occupy the same pew
in the parish church as he had hitherto done, un-
til his former dwelling should be disposed of. On
Sunday, the Ist of June, haviog as usual attended
divine service, he was sitting in bis pew, oheo some
ladies came to the door of it, as if desirous of being
admitted; he addressed them in a civil way, begged
ten thousand pardons, declared the pew seas small,
and his family large, and made the bets, apology in
his power for refusing to admit the whole party,
npon which they readily consented to ge to another
part of the church. On the following Sunday,
the Complainant was sitting in the same seat,
when the Gentleman a gainst whom the appli-
cation was made, came tip to the door, and de-
manded admittance; when the foitner made the
same remonstrance_ lie had done ow the pre-
ceding Sabbath, when the ladies attacked him s
when the latter replied, 's Yon are the puppy and
the blackguard who insulted my family last Sun-
day." 'I he former gentleman denied the charge',
and the latter swore lie would tear down the door of
the pew, if he was not pet milted to go in ; and tic.
wally began to pull it open by fence. Mr. Park-
house, the Vicar of the patisn, immediately inter-
fered, and endeavoured to prevail on the gentle-
man to go to anotl_r pew ; but he persisted in re-
addii g, " 1 intended to go to town to-mor-
row, but will wait rill next day, for the purpose of
horse-whipping you;" then, turning to the Vicar, he
continued, " I don't mean to address any of this to
you."
Lord Extzernottooon observed, that lie feared
the Court would be encroaching on the prenigative
of the Ecclesiastical C •utt, to interfere it. this case.
It was a brawl between two prisons, but no blows
were struck, it therclore did not. ailtually amount to
a breach of the peace, an... the rule could not be
granted.
Tbe Learned Counsel observed, that lie had
threatened a horse-whipping.
Lord I:1. (NROROUGIII replied, that his • ondufl
was certt,inly it ty improper; but the Court could
tot interfere.—Rule re fused.

A singular occurrence lately took place at the
Police Office, in Marlborough-street :—Use of the
footmen of the celebrated Dentist. Mr. De CHI-.
KANT, named ALLXANDLIt LALZUR, an 4 another
person named De La TOM, a workman whom he
occasionally employed in preparing gold-work, be-
lieving that to become Dentist, it was only requisite
to have in tl.eir pcssession some mineral paste teeth
of Mr. De Citzmais r's, to serve either as models to
work after, or to shew them as samples of their
own work, purloined Irom his house several teeth
and complete sets. Mr. DE CHEM • lit, having ob.
I served that several :vticles had disappeared 3ut of
his laboratori, discharre, el all his servants • and
very soon after the said VALLS) It advetthing himself
in the papers as Dentist, confirmed his suspicions.
In consequence of which, he obtained a war-
rant to search the residence of these two persons, in
Woburn-place. Going thither with two constables,
he found upon thcir working table a quantity of
mineral paste teeth, which were taken be'ore the
Magistrate, and sworn to be the property of Mr. De
CHEHAVT. FALCUL admitted that he had taken
them, and for his defence alleged only, tl.at he pre-
' snared they were of nu use to his master. Mr. Dr
Cm en •in. having recovered his stolen property, and
fearing that the consequence of a prosecation might
I be fatal to those persons, toult.back the teeth, and
shopped thz business.
