Anecdote of Count DE - VutY, Minister 4o the
King of Sardinia.---This man carried his reserve and
'secrecy to an extravagant length : the-most trifling
message delivered to one of his domestics was a pro-
found mystery to all the others ; and, iihe happened
•to be indisposed., it was a state secret. He one day
called a surgeon to dress an. ulcer on .hts leg ; and
when a similar- sore broke out on the ether,.he sent
for a dittkent surgeon, that neither 'should know'the
entire state of his disorder and the surgeons having
differed most essentially on their manner of cure, the
Count lost his life by the circumstance. One .isf his
friends having come to inquire for him, was answer-
ed by his Secretary-7-" he is dead, b'Ut, he does not
wish it to be known."

OLD BAILEY.

rQURTH, D A Y-.SATURD AY.

Matilda Calia ac, a young woMau of expressive
features, and of very interesting appearance, was
capitally indi6ted for stealing in the dwelling-7house
of Gerrard Scorex, Esc', plate and apparel to a con-
siderable amount.

Nr. 'KNAPP, as. Counsel. for the 'prbseciation,
stated the case to-the Jury, and described the- whole
of the condua of the prisonier, to have been such
as' seldom or ever cline before a British Jury.—
The attention-of the public had been arrested. by the
young female at . the, bar and thiS prosecution, the
Learned Counsel said, had been instituted, not for pri-
vate revenge, but to hold up her iniquitous condua
to the public at large. Air. KNAPP then called wit-
nesses to establish the case ,

• Gerrard Scorer; Esq. described hiinseJf as.a part-
ner ion the firm of Mastettnan, Peters, arid Co. Ban-:,
isers, in White •Hart-coutt, Lonib:frd-street, where !
he'resided'wiqi Bef\Veen the hOnrs of
`eleven and twelve' o'clotjk,.on the of the 15th
of NOVeniber, the house Was disawervd "id- be tin fire,
the-family:having-at that amesretired,tO their beds. -1
It waii:fit>l discovered 'in it clostit in the laundry ;
and-after the flames had ,beeri Stibdti`ed, 'another fire -{
was discovered in a closet in the parlotit, which con-
.tained. the plate, as mentioned in the indiameht, and -I
also lineti.• -

Mrs. Scorer stated, that she bad been" ditch'.
alarmed bV the fires, and her Attentietivas direct-
ed to the. closet where the plate was 'kept ; but
after the flames had been ..übdtied, she Missed a .
great. quantity of it, and also some linen, amengSt
which were the articles enumerated., in. the in-
diEtmerit. Witness inquired. of the servants - what
bad bccotne of the plate ?' and,. in consequence of
their pleading ignorance; they were suspeCted, anlla
constable was sent for in the course tif the day:—
On. the arrival a the officer, the prisoner appeared
very much'emparrassed; and begged- bet: mistres to
.protect her.
Mr. James Maud, one of the partners in the. firm.
of. Masterman,and Co. repaired to • the house about
two hours Atter the tire had been put out, ''And on
being informed of oss of -a quantity of plate, he
questioned the prisoner respethng it and the,fire.
-She fell °tiller knees, said she was the most Misera-
ble wretch in existence, and that she had stolen it.
The Prisoner,said she had been insuring in the' Lott
tery, and spent all her money,‘;as Nvell a 5.51.. which'
she had borroWed of the , cook. She gave the
'vVitness a list of the various, articles enumerated. in
the indiatnent, and. acknowledged' having pledged
them at the shop of a Mr. Barker, a Piwubroket in
Houndsditch.

. James. Jones produCed the various articles of plate
pledged by the Prispner, at ditierent times, in the
name of. Barr. He knew the person- of the Pri-
soner well ; and she used to say she.was a ,servant
sent by,, her master with pledges. The various ar7
ticles produced Were sworn to. by Mr.. Scorer.

- Mr. GURNEY took an objection to the indictment,
which stated the 'articles to have been stolen in the
cfwe'llina-lioilse of Mr: Scorer, wlyn'it had been
proved that" the house belpnged to the firm ; apd
-
Mr. S.'s share' of the profits was dedii&ed for the use
Of the dwelling-house.' The Learned Counsel also
submitted to- the Bench, that there had been no
proof orgoods to the amount of forty shillings
havino-been stolen, at any one' •time, or that they
had having
stolen, even in. the d'welling-house, by the
prisoner.
Mr. I(mA-I,r-replied to•the objeelioni

Judge GROSE would,first stfomit to the Jftry, whe
thee the 'Prisoner had stolen goods in the
hbuse to the amount of. 46s':? and • If they were
-of-opinion she had, the other- point Df law wonld be
an after_ consideration.'. • • . •

After an 'enlightened charge to the Jury, they
found the, Prisoner Guilty of stealing to the amount
of 3gs. ; the ,capital part of the charge was conse-
quently done away.

LAW REPORT.

COURT
,OF KlNG's BENCII. Dzc.3.

RAMSDEN v. uELLrsH, ESQ.

This was an action brought by the Endorser
cf. Bill. of Exchange for 1061: against the Ac-
ceptor.
Sir VICART GIBBs stated, that the,bill in question
was drawn in 'favour of a third person, and ac-
eepted by the-Defendant, a Gentleman of fashion-
able notoriety, and well knoWn upon the turf At
NeWmarket.

!!.'he. bill became due on the 6.th September, 1804,
and .when demanded at GOslin'i, in 'Fleet-street,
where it was made payable, the answer was, that
they bad no effects where With to pay it.
The necessary proofs being made
Mr. GARROw, for the Defendant, said, , he
,had a
case to, make, which would completely defeat the
Plaintiff's action, namely, a gambling transaction ; •
• but even this defence his client did not wish to avail
• himself of, but. for the following circumstances :
Mr. Mellish having lost at play 3001. at the
Smyrna Coffee-house, to the payee, gave him
.his three, acceptances, of tool. each, one of
which was the bill in question,:. III:foaling more
had occurred, he would not now have been induced
to-take advantage of the defence the law had put into
his hands ; but, in the course of a few clays after, he
met the party, and had the good fortune to win
back his 001: ; and thc latter promised to return the.
bills in a day or two ; that period, however, never
arrived, and. be. was under the necessity of making
thisdefence.

Th 4 payee I,vaS.then tailed ttirpro‘.'e this case, but
