LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. MONDAY, Nov. 27.

?FIE RING O. A CERTAIN ANIMAL CALLED A WHALE
Mr. Dampier said, that the present Plaintiff was well euough
known to the 0).1'14 ; hut he did not know whether the Defend •
itiant had ever before been introduced to their Lordship's notice.
la March ino. a whale was caught at Gravesend, and being
towed Np to Paul's w bur, in this city, was, the moment it came
isit•bin sight of Doctor's Commons, seized, by Mr. Crickett, as
a droit of the Admiralty, who issued a process to arrest the
whale, and .served it upon him ; and here he remained till his
'dour became so hurt ibly offensive, that he was obliged to be
cenaJved. The Learned Counsel now moved for a rule to skew
cause, why the prohibition of thiS Court should not issue to the
Court of Admiralty, upon the grounds, first, that all prescrip
tirms should he tried in this Court; and, secondly, that the whale
lathe pre•scriptive property of the Lord Mayor, as Conservator
of the Thames--Rule granted.

POLI(E.

PUSLIC OFFICE, BOW-STREET,

The Magistrates of BOw-street, have, at length, come
to a determination not to sit at the Public Office after nine
o'clock. A person was brought out of the Theatre on
Friday night, and was taken to St Paul's watch-house, Covent
Garden, and given in charge to the Constable of the night by Mr.
James Blandon. The accusation against him was forendeavouring
to protnete riot and ditdurhance after the hour of half-price, du-
ring the 4th and sth acts of the Comedy of the Cure for the lleart
Ache, by placing a placard and the letters 0. P. on each side of
Ibis hat, and brandikking his stick over his head in a threatening
manner, as if bidding defiance to the authority and powers of
the Officers. His conduct soon attracted the attention of Mr.
Brandon, who directed a detachment of the Bow-street corps to
stake au attack, and secure the offender, which, after a severe
contest, they accomplished, and conveyed him in triumph from
the pit. On heing taken before the Magistrates yesterday, he
refused to give either his name or abode, and consequently he
was committed.

Thr Famil; , and Ladies (tad Gemlenten Distinction
and Fashion, use Russia Oil, for moistening the hair when dress.
ing,, which is so great a nourishe!.' of the hair as to prevent •its
turning grey to all periods; prorrottes the growth, and makes
the hair grow thick and long ; prevents its falling ow, and re.
stores it on bald places._ Ladies awl Gentlemen who wear false
hair will find the !twill Oil a valuable article to use when
dressing, as it gis es it a natural gloss. It is generally remarked
that persons svearlng false hair, after a short time wearing, it
becomes dry and still; and is easily discovered; by usiog the
Russia Oil it prevents its being discovered, as it keeps tile hair
soft, and renders its appearance n-tural. Observe the label oe
the outside wrapper of each bottle is signed io Russian golii ink,
Mochrikufsky and Prince ;" any wiriout that signature are
counterfeits. Price 7s. per bottle, or one bottle containing four
