!coding the plaintiff, was proved to have been entered in
all the orderly books of the troops in the lonian Isles.
The order dismissed the plaintiff from his situation, but
assigned no reasatt for doing so. Sir H. Torrens was
called to prove no order was given by the Duke of York
for this sospensico, and Sir H. Tomos, Sit J. Osborne,
Sir 11. Clinton, and other officers, were called to pmve
the injury such a dismissal would have on the character
of a milfrary man.
Mr. Scarlen, Lit the part oldie defendant, called Mr.
Gott!bourn, the Under Secretary of State for the Colonial
Department, to prose that Sir Thomas Maitland, in this
case, acted pursuant to the orders received from Lord
Hammitt, Secretary of State for the Colonies, communi-
cating his Majesty's pleasure, that Cal. De Bassett be
removed, as by the Charter of the lonian Isles, then
recently guaranteed by the Crown of Great Britain, it
was provided that no foreigner should hold the situation
of Inspector of Militia in those Islands, but that only
British or lonian born subjects would be eligible to hold
those offices, and that the defendant was hound to obey
the order of the Secretary of State; and that in fact the
order in this case 1111 l st come from the Secretary of State,
and not from the Commander in Chief of the Army,
and subject to be regulated by the Civil Department of
Government.
The Chieflostice summed up the ease to the Jury,
who, alter a short deliberation, found a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages, ifici. costs 4us.

SECONDARIES' OFFICE, COLEMAN STREET.
HALTAM V. KING.

In this case a Jury was summoned to assess damages
for lows sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of
the negligence of her aent, the defendant, who hal
sutiered judgment to go by default.
Mr. Serjeant Hosanquet stated, that th• plaintiff, a
widow, had, upon the representation of Mr. King, the
defendant, been induced to advance the sum offitml. for
the purchase of an annuity of 1041. 'rite defendant,
whom she appointed her agent on the occasion, assured
her that the bargain would be highly advantaneous, and
that the annuity was secured by the unewtinthered life •
interests of iv% llgentlemint, one of whoin,W hitmore,was
abroad, for the education of his children. It was aseer-
tamed, however, after the money had been paid, that
those two securities were insolvent, and that their lite
interest had been actually sold belore the negociation
was entered into. The plaintiff had now no prospect of
getting bask tier purchase money, the security being
absolutely void, and was compelled to adopt proceedings
against her agent. The learned counsel said, his client
would be satisfied u ith her purchase money, and five
per cent. interest.
Mr. Machin., executor of the plaintiff's husband's
will, proved the deed, which spewed the s advanced
and the writing of King, who was a party to it.
The Jury, after an able charge from the Secondary,
brought in a verdist for the plaintiff—Damages 6401.

BOWS BEET.

Saturday evening at six o'clock, at the time the Queen
had got into her carriage in Portman-street, and when
Lady Anne Hamilton was stepping into it, there was a
great pressure among the persons assembled, among them
were Mr. James Furse, his wife, and daughter, who
bad lately arrived fro.n Devonshire. Mr. Furse ob-
served a man go toimil him, and when he came in front
of him he publicly, and in a most daring manner snatched
his gold chain, seals, and watch, and ran off with them.
Mr. Furse pursued hint, calling out stop thief, and Bond
one of the constables appointed to attend there by Su
Robert Baker to keep the peace, pursued the robber,
came up with him, and secured him at the end of Port-
man-street, just as he was entering Oxford-street, when
at the same instant the robber Mopped the watch, chain
aad seals down the urea of Mr. Thomas, a grocer. The
robber was brought to the office by Bond, and under-
went an examination before Sir Robert Baker, who,
on the above circumstances being proved, ordered him
to be comnsitted for trial. Mr. Furse wished to decline
prosecuting on account of the distance he lived limn
London, but the Magistrate said be could not possibly
let the perpetrator of such a daring act escape, especially
as be was a notorious bad character, and as a security
for Mr. Furse to proceed with the prosecution, he or-
dered Bond to detain the property in his possession.

Extract of a letter dated Harwich, July 9:—
" Considering it may be of some interest to you and
the public to know what has become of the persons
who landed at Dover, said to be witnesses against
the Queen, I write to say the following embarked
here yesterday, on board the Earl of Leicester
packet, fir Holland :—Casena, Mat .inella, An
tonio Taliabo, Galdina, all citizens of Como;

beggars description ; it excited the disgust of all
who saw them. This day eleven/more of these
wretched animala, among whom was a woman
