TO THE EDITOR, OP 7-11 E SUIV:

An article. having appeared in yOUr Paper this

to their source, that I. vvti ariest-ed ut 'My 0V.71 re«
quest by the Officers of- Police, in consequence of a
Letter which I sent to Sir Vi'HAN'CIS Burwi:'TT, I think
it my duty -to declare, that the Statement'is fttterly
false. I have this dap ascerraitied that the, War-
rant for .thy apprehension' was itaqiiig signed be-
fore the Letter alluded to had been Written.—
All that I have •at present u add is, that
I- am, to this Moment, unacquainted with the
name .'of the pet-Son on whos4 inforthailon , the
warrant in question was issued; and I. i)let-unly de=
dare, that noporsOn whatever ,connected with rue
knew that I-had written to' Sir FRANCIS BURDETT;
except the gentleman who kindly took charge Of n-iy
;Letter. I trust that you will do Me the justice to
insert, this declaration in your Paper of to-morrow ;
and should any future Calumnies against me be in
serted, either by the authority of Sir FRANCIS gun,.
DETT, Or of his associates, that you will allow the.
the privilege of rOtting them. I am, Sir,
Your Obedient humble servant.

COURT OF KING's\BENCH, Dzc. z.

*KEY V. KENNARD SMITH:

THIS was an aEtion against the Sheriff of Surrey,
for a false return to a writ of fieri facias, stating that
a Mrs. Glover had no goods which could be taken
in execution. The Plaintiff was a milliner, and had
furnished articles ef millinery to Mrs. Glover, the
'AEtress, to the amount of 401. and upWards, for
which an aaion was brought, and judgment recover-
ed against her husband, Mr. Glover, who resided
within the rules of the King's Bench. When the
Officer went into his house with the execution, he
stated that the goods were none of his property, but
the goods of a Mr. Davenport. The Officer. con-
fiding in .his statement; did not levy them, but re-
turned nrclla bond, and the
.present aaion was
brought 'to try the truth, of that return ; but the
Plaintiff not producing the warrant appointing the
Officer, he was Nonsuited:
