L All' REPORT.

GUILDHALL, LONDON, FEB. i 6.
SITTINGS BEFORE LORD KENYON AND SPLCIAL JURY

WHAI,EY, ESQ. V. SOUTHCOTE, BART.

This was an Aaion by which the Plaintiff
claimed upwards of 17001. upon the validity of
Power of Attorney, which was proved in Court
to be executed by the Defenda.nt at Jlrislith&m.
stone last.summer—Many Witnesses were ex_aa
mined on behalf of the Plaintiff.

The Defence was, - that indeed a few of
the sums ,of money, stated in • a long account;
which was read in Court, had been advancectto
the Defendant, and therefore the Plaintiff must
have a verdid for, such sums; but that as to the •
bulk of the demand, it was made up of transac.
dons under the most desperate gambling; scenes,
and such as neither Justice, Law, or. Honour,
called on the Defendant to pay.
There was no Evidencercalled on behalf of the,
Defendant, it ..being maintained by Mr.. GA&..
ROW) that enough appeared on the face of the
transadions themselves to make them too odious
for credit, in the view of men of true honour, 'lra
a Court of Justice.
The Jury having received from Lord KarrYolt`
an-admirable Address, the substance of which
as well as the outline of the Trial, we shall give
the first opportunity, retired, and having beer&
our of Court about twenty minutes, returned' s 4,

Mr. CAZALES, formerly a distinguished Mem .
bee of the Constituent Assembly, sailed &Otis

He goes to France furnished with a passport from

own Country. Various rumours have Igen oit,
culated. as to the objea of his return, whisp
hall not take upon ourselves eithcr.to state as
fats or to contratlift. :Nothing is.mote probable
than that his own affairs may by the chief end
only cause of his leaving this. Country.
Mr. Boric, brother to the King's Counsekpf
that name, is to be the. New Lord of the 11:042
sury, in the rwai of Lord GRENVEI.44
GOWER.

A certain. Great Personage, we understand)
expresses himself very strongly upon the subje4t •
of the late Change of Adlninistration. • His aPti
nion is, we believe, decidedly with Mr. PITT.
, .
Yesterday Lord StENcta's Furniture, &e.
was removed from the Admiralty to his House in
St. James's Place.

The Hon. Jaw/ SP sicrzt, ion to Lord CHA.
SPENC flit) is elected Member for the Borough of
Wilton, in the room of General GOLDSWORTiIIrg
deceased.

We yesterday stated, that on Saturday a meet.
ing , took place between Lieutenant Mirts.reit,
of the Marines, belonging to His Majesty's Ship
Monarch, and Lieut.Cti R Ist. lAN LASC I, of the
Latvia Frigate, at Queenborough,• near Sheerness
when the former was shot dead through the heat";
and the latter through the body, with very little
hopes of his recovery. The Marine Officer lies dead
at an Inn in Queenborough, for the Coroner's In•
quest, and the Lieutenant of the Navy is sent on
board the Spanker Hospital-ship, at Sheerness.
They were attended in this unfortunate business
by a Marine Officer and a Surgeon's Matt, as Se.
conds, both of whom have absconded. The parties
fought at twelve paces distance, and fired at the
same instant. Both fell the first shot.

The cause of this unfortunate Affair originated a
few months since, at Elsineur, when they both
belonged to the Latona Frigate. Some words
passed between theth when playing at cards,
which occasioned a blow; • but Captain Strria..
sox, of that ship, by his well dined authority,
prevented the matter going farther, and made
them promise while in his ship they would be quiet,
and threatened to bring them both to a Court..
Martial if they did not keep the peace. Since
the arrival of the Latona at the Nore, the Ma.
rine Officer effected a change with an Officer it
the Monarch, which was no sooner done than he
received and accepted the Navy Lieutenant's
challenge, which was attended with the conse.
quences already stated.
