in this case the plaintiff was an excise officer, and the defendant a
publican, in Thames-street ; the action was brought to recover 491.,
the plaintiff's proportion of a lottery prize. A lottery club was held at
the defendant's house, of which he was the treasurer, consisting of 18
members, of whom the plaintiff was one. In the June lottery of last
year, their respective proportions of prize money amounted to 9s. each,
to which they agreed to add 18s. a piece more to purchase into the next
October lottery, which was accordingly done, and one of the sixteenths
so purchased, turned up a prize of 15,0001. • which, along with some
201. prizes, making a dividend to each subscriber of 511. of which it was
agreed that 11. should be spent in a supper, and 11. to he retained for the
purchase of tickets in the next drawing. The defendant received all
the prise money the day after the drawing, which he divided amongst
most of the subscribers that evening. The plaintiff attended to receive
his share, but being much intoxicated, the defendant refused to pay
him then, but promised to pay him.the next day ; when he came next
day to be paid, the defendant refused payment, alleging that he had
forfeited his right to any share, not having paid up his subscription
previous to the drawing, according to the agreement entered into by
the society, and further, that he had erased his name from the list of
subscribers, and therefore was not entitled to any thing. On this the
defence chiefly rested. But, it appearing that the plaintiff had paid his
subscription to the defendant's wife so early as the month of July, that
the list from which he had erased his name was not the list of subscrip-
tions, but a list of ale scores due by the club ; and, further, it appearing
that the night previous to the drawing, the defendant himself had un-
dertaken to pay up the arrears of the defaulters.
The Jury fuund a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 491.

element. The engines of Windsor were sent with all passible expedi-
tion, and a large party of the 29th Regiment, there stationed, rendered
every assistance. Before five o'clock,however, the whole of the interior
was consumed, leaving only part of the outer walls standing. Fortu-
nately no lives were lost, but the whole of the family-plate and jewels,
together with the valuable furniture Lnd paintings, were entirely con-
sumed. The fire was occasioned by the bursting of a flue which pro-
jected from a patent stove, in the room adjoining that in which Lord
and Lady Montague slept, the furniture of which was nearly consumed
before they discovered the danger they were in. His Lordship and fa-
mily retired to an adjoining farm house until they obtained carriages to
convey them to Windsor. This house was built by Sir Ralph Win-
wood, Secretary of State to Jarnes7l. on the scite of a palace which had
been occupied by Cardinal Wolsey ; it was for many years the residence
of the late Lord Beauliee, at whose decease it canie Into the family 0(
