The plaintiff in this caw was a livery-stable keeper, and the
defendant au officer in the army, son of Lord Charles Fczroy,
and nephew to the Doke of Grafton. On the departure of
Blionaparte from Ella, and his landing in France, the defend-
ant, being at that time it 4 England, was anxious iinim &barely
to join his regiment, which was on the Continent ; and having
previously purchased a horse and gig of the plaintiff, he glise
his bill for the purchase. money, 911. On flue bill becoming
due, however, it was ant paid, and the plaintiff was tinder the
necessity of bringing the present action; to which the defend-
ant, as IA defence, set up the plea of infancy. To prove this
fact, the steward of the Duke of Grafton was examined, who
proved that Lord Charles Fitzroy was the father of the de-
fi•mFant. Lord Charles was married to Miss Munday in June
1795, and the present defendant was born in the May followitur.

son Charles, the present defendant, which took place on the
10th of May, 1796, and therefore he will not be YI till the loth
of May neat.---Upon this evidence the plaintiff was uonsuited.

CAPTION TO THE LA VI ES.—Ladies who are accustomed to
wear their dresses extremely low in the back and bosom, or off
the shoulders, are particularly requested to beware of a person
who has for some time past frequented all places of public
amusement, and many private parties. He is an elderly gen-
tleman, of venerable appearance and correct manners his
constant practice, when he observes a lady dressed in the man-
ner above described, is, with an almost imperceptible and ap-
parently accidental pressure of a little instrument which he
carries in his hand, to imprint the following words upon her
back or shoulders, Naked, and not oshu.iiid. The stain is like
that produced by lunar-caustic ; washing will not remove it,
and it becomes more visible by exposure to the air, so that no-
thing hut a coverile! can conceal it. It is said, that several
lathes were marked last surruncr at various places of fashionable
resort ; anti that they calm° , even now, "tripfor company, with.
oit displaying this indelible bailee of disgrace.
