THIS was a fierelacias, according to Mr.
Gl'LbS'S:opehing, to revive a judgment which thc
Plaintiir had obtained against the Intlienti4nt in
1795. Since that tune the Defendant had becouir..
a Bankrupt and .obtained his certificate, which he
et• up as a bar to this action..

The Counsel said, .he'yindertoolt to shew to his
Lordship, and the Gentlemen of the Jury,- that
the whole • of the Defendant's Bankruptcy was
founded in fraud, which was fabricated by Webb
and his Attorney, Mr. Plasted, who was the
petitioning Creditor under the-Commission; and
that all the creditors who bad proved any debts
were fi'titious. He' dirdted the attention of
'the Court and Jury 'particularly to the -situa-
tion of two creditors, the one a Cobler, of the
liable of 'Marks, who had proved a debt 01701.
Who also sold sprats. The other creditor's name
was Mary Brewer, who had sworn to a debt of
1751. ios. whose husband had been a pauper for
five years in lio.xton Workhouse, where he died.
This woman had no means •of making any
money. She was called as a witness'. She was
very infirm, and talked about a sum of money
She had got in consequence of having purchased a
Lottery Ticket. She said her sister had been the
reputed wife of Webb ; rat she herself had been
his servant, and was now his mother7in-law, he
!laving married her daughter: ,She could give no
tatistaaory account how she had, acquirectpro-
perty to the amount of 17 51.. ros. or indeed to
any amount. She is now in an alms-house in '
Rosemary-lune.

The Noble and, Learned Judge; in. the course
of her examination, huulanly and solemnly ad-
monilcd her to recoiled that she was sworn to
speak the truth, and to remember, that from'her
age and infirmities, she must soon appear before
that Tribunal where she must give an account of
all her aaions.

The honourable feelings of Mr. ERSKINE,
Leading Counsel for the Defendant, and of the
other Gentlemen on the same side, seeing the in-
famy of the defence, gave it up, in consequence of
which the Jury, under'the dirdtions of his Lord-
ship, found a verdid for .the Plaintiff up'to the
extent of his demand. His Lordship desired
Mrs. Brewer to go away and sin no more.

ant,: .he was progd,to respeAt and to know ,itiat
be was -resPetted.by .a, man of his chataaer but
sitting, as a Judge, ,he -Was hound" by the stria:
rules of Law to say, that the 15.efendant having'
failed in the performance of a poiitive agreernenr,
however severe it bore upon him, was.' comiAlLed

ST'ATISTIC AL NOTES.

'IN a recent publication, it is coinputed-that
hunters, shooters, &e.- injure the farmer to the
amount of one shilling per acre annually, and that
game, by feeding on his crops, consume to an
equal amount ;--that the fly, maggot, slug, &c.
will once in five years cut off the turnips, once
in ten years the. clover, and do. 55.. an.. acre da-
mage to corn crops ; tnaking on the average as.
per acre. The injury done by rats, moles, and ,
nice, in a farm of zoo acres, he estimate:, at six
guineas ;. by "q)arro‘Vs and other/small birds,' six
guineas ; pigeons, jays,' magpi6, ravetic, kites,
dogs, &c. four guineas; making in the sPle
year, or near 6spet acre ; -or on the =total culti_
vated superfices of the kingdom, an annual depre-
dation to the amount of ten'millions per alumni:
The public-houses:within the bills'of mOrtidity •
amount to szo4, of which 943 are in Surrey ;
the averaged annual consumption of ale and por-
ter in these houses is 1, i 32,147 barrels, which at
4d. per quart, exceeds 2,495,901,—Three mil-
lion gallons of gin and compounds arc likewise
consumed, Costing nearly. ; in all
about three millions and a half a "year. Of this
money three millions is expended by the labour-
ing people only, and estimated to amount to about
zBl. for each family per ann.
The consumption of the Metropolis in frUit and
'vegetables exceeds one million pound's:seeding per
,ann: There are about .io,ooo acres under vege•-
tables : 200 Acres at Chelsea produce; on a iOO/ es-
timate, zoo!. per acre ; Soo acres abOut.l34terSea,..

'are exclusively in Middlesex i Soo acres of garden
grotind,, chiefly cultivAed=by the plough ; '3 Soo
acres in Surrey ; 1700 in-Kent, and moo iii Essek;‘.
on the average producing 501. per acre, and making
in the tti hole 64:5,0661. 'a year. The frith, gar-,
dens are computed at' 400,0001. a yar. 'On many
of these gardens, tiptrards of sixty Ott-loads of
dung per acre are laid on yearly. - • ,
A gardener at Little Sutton has So acres under

SiNbULAR MODE EMPLOYED BY Tiff MAHRAT-
, TM FOR, Tli R RECOVERY OF OERTS.
When a Maftratta has tried, in vain to obtain
payment of a debt, as the List and most ea.:canal
expedient, he sits in 1.-)hetwei on his Debtor. The
consequence of this is„, that the Debtor, be 'he
who he will, e 4 en,though the. chid- man of the
State, is not permitted to eat 'or drink, or wash
or pray, .is not suffe'reci to remove from the spot
where he sits or stands at the time the Dherna
.takes place, till the money be paid, or security
for payment given.
Sometimes a .still more violent method of
• Dherna is resorred to. The Creditor.goes to the
door of his Debtor, and demands, payment'or se..
•curity. If neither is giVen by the Debtor,.he
stands up in his presence with an enormous weight
'on his head, which
.he brings with him for the
pilrpose ; swearing never to alter his position,' or
allow the weight to be removed, until satisfac-
tion be given : denouncing at The same time the
most horrid execrations on his Debtor, should he
suffer himto expire in that situation. This 'sel-
dom fails to. produce the desired effect ; hut,
should he at-Wally die in Dherna, the Debtor's
house is razed to the round, and he and his fa-
mily sold for the sattsfadion of the Creditor's
heirs.

The following whimsical circumstances, we arc
assured, have recently happened A • Farmer,
not' accustinned to large dealings, in the County
of 'Chester, brought to Stockport market a
quantity of Oatthcal to sell, an article which
forms a great , part of the subsistence •of the
loweti orders of society in that neighbourhood,
and soon found a purchaser. It being usual for
the Middle- man, . as; he; is called, to pay in
a good bill at two ,months, the bargain being
struck, and the bill produced, the farmer: immedi-
ately raised an objedion to.taking such a piece
paper for money; but an appeal to custom sooncic-
, cided against him.. However, not beingperlettly
satisfied, he applied to a shopkeeper to have it put
into cash, and was told it Might be done for ten
shillings, which he at length agreed to give ; but
was again astonished to find the cash was likewise
composed of paper, commonly called:young New).
.lands. An ,appeal a second time to custom obliged
hint to submit ; but still unwilling to be disap.
pointed, he applied to another person to know if
he could get these scraps of paper put into king
GEORGE'S guineas; and was told, that by paying
two-pence each for them, that it might be done.
A third bargain was, struck at the expence of Bs.
; but just. before lie left the town, it came
into his head that some of these guineas might be
light, and that possibly they might not do so
well for hoarding, he therefore had them tried in
a balance, and,. unfortunately. for' him, twenty-
thrte were found wanting. Here it was in vain
urged by his friends that clir:om had rendered the
weighing of gold quite useless in that neighbour..
hood, and he positively gave z Is. 6d. in exchange
for twenty.three that were full weight.
