C,,k_
ard:lV.fren, Esq. v. Messrs. William and Thomas
Wise. .Jw,he question for the Jury to. decide•was,
Whether, in discounting various Bills of Exchange
by the:Detendants, more than the interest allowed
by law had been taken, which would subject the
party. to the penalties of the Statutes in that ca,e
made apd provided. After a long consultation, the
Jury found a verdia ter the Plaintiff, with P2„71201.
i Bs..gd. drimages, being treble the amount of the Bills,
on\ which it was proved that more than the Irvi in-
terest had been taken."

SERVANTS.—Xn. anecdote was some time since-
published of the late Lord CIIESTLEFIELD and his
Servant, to which the following of the late Lord
BLAYNEY, of Castle Blayney, in Ireland, is not dis-
similar, in resped to the insolence of Footmen
His Lordship paid a visit to. a friend near Bath;
where he meant to remain some days. It is usual
to 'slim the servant where he is to. sleep. His Lora-
ship's man, when concluded into his chamber, com-
plained of the attic. story as too cold; that the bed
was not good enough ; and.that he hoped he should
have a better. This being told to the master of 1;-ie
house, he made an alteration ; and when Lord B LAY-
NEY retired, he waited on him to his chamber, and
afterrtlak.ing an apology, said .that his house was
sip Very full, it put hint under the necessity of giv-
ing his Lordship a companion, as' he mignt see
by the two pillows. His Lordship seemed much
surprised, and demanded to know who it was ? The
Gentleman replied " that it was one who was well
known to his Lordship—it was the gentletnan un-
" tying his Lordship's hair, who had refused the
" usual bed for a servant ; and to accommodate
" whom, in a proper style, there Nt''as no Other place
" but half his Lordship's bed." The consequence of
this was the instant discharge of the servant, who
. l.i icy soldier also in the 38th Regiment of foot,
N.-Va.:turned back to the ranks, where he went be
the nulled. Down-led Hurry until his death, which
happened soon after the regiment landed in Amet ica.
There Harrz, found his last bed the field where
he tell, and was buried -in a pit with many more of
his military companion';.
