TILE KING V. AO-All.
This was an Appeal against an Order of Sessions made by the
Magistrates of the City of York, for fixing a rate upon a Me-
thodist Meeting-house in that City. This Meeting-house, it
appeared, was built by voluntary contribution in the year 1804,
and Ltd not been rated until very lately. The Learned Coun-
sel for the Appellants contended, that under the authority of the
case of the King v. Woodward, and several other cases of the
same description, that this wasivot a profitable occupation, and
therefore not rateably under the Statute. it appeared, however,
thit although this Meeting-hpuse was built by voluntary con-
tribution, yet the Trustees let out the pews and seats at the rate
of about 2.)01. per annutv ; out of this they paid 1801. a year to
two Oifi,iating Ministers of the Gospel,• and the remainder
went to discharge the expences of repairs, cleansing, Sexton,
&c. so that upon this fact again it was contentlei that no profit
arose to the 1 rustees, and therefore the Meeting-house was not
rateable. • •
Mr. PARK and Mr. RICHARDSON on the other hand con-
tended, that the case came completely within the provisions 'of
the Statute of Elizabeth, as rateable occupation.
Lord ELL ENaOROUGH held, that it was perfect!), within the
meaning of that Statute.
In the several cases 'cited, it happened, that although those
Meeting-houses were built by voluntary contribution,yet . the
public were admitted gratuitously; but in this case there was
positive proof of a profitable occupation, sufficient to bring ft .
within the Act of Parliament; and therefore (the other Judd,
acquiescing in that opinion) -the Order of 6essioli was 4: •
fumed.

A few day. ago, as some men were employed in breaking •
ground, for the purpose of opening a stone-quarry, on threstate
of Mr. A. Large, of.Freegrove, at Lyneham, Wilts, they discn-
veredthe skeletons of two men, not two Itet below the surface.
The frames were perfectly entire; but the bones were become
somewhat soft, and easily broken. The one had a complete
set of teeth; the other was defective. By the side of one was
found a large case or butcher's knife, much consumed by rust;
from which it was conjectured that ey were murdered.

pa~ died on Friday se'nnight. She had been (says a Cora,
res)ndLnt) a long time in a decline, which had so enteebled her
frame as to preclude the posatbaity of visiting her husband in
confinement far more than four months previous to her decease;
and it would seem as if the vital spark had been prolonged be-
yond human probability, by a never-ceasing anxiety to survive
his captivity ; but the efforts of nature proved unavailing, and
she expired h. the hope of realizing her desires beyond the reach
of disappointment and persecution. She was an affectionate
wife, and has left three children to lament the loss of a careful,
tender mother.
