KING AND OTHERS V. WELLS.

Mr. t RSKINE shewed Cause against a Rule which
had
..been obtained'by Mr: MINCAt; calling on the
Plaintiffs to she.* Cause Why the Defendant should
not be discharged on filing Common Bail, on ac. _
count of the Affilav it on which he was held to
bail, having stated.biin to be indebted to the,Plain,
Join King; George Roch.fort; and George
ItogetS, Bankers, in the sum of One Hundred and'
Ten. without adding_ the word Pounds.
After Mr. ERSKINg had Spoken for the Plaintiffs,

Mr. MI;ICAY spoke rollows—".The Public
are interested in what passes in this Cause, even in
this stage of it. The Madavit is made by a_person
Who describe's himself to be the Clerk of this
house; the BankingLhouse of Messrs. john
King, George Rochfort, and George Rogers.—He
is the same man who offered birriself this day ii this
Cotirt as bail for. a Pefendant who was arrested,
calling himself .Gentleinan„' but who did not
Sustiry.''
Mr. tisiclNE4—c‘ There is nothing of this be-
fore the Cpurt,: how is it pos6ble for us to answer
this

Mr. JUSTICE GRosz--‘c The description was
very hi-I-proper."
Lord KEI!IYON:--", It. is pretty well he did not
describe himself higher."
Mr. miNaAY--,--" I hope he will be higher."--
Rule absolu;e.

Mr. MARRrAT moved ,for a Habeas Corpus for
bringing up the body.of Jos. Rogers, who is stated
to be under the care of a Drietor Stevenson, under
the charatier .of a Lunatic, but whose condition
was alleged to be such as did not require restraint.
The Court, after some of the cirtunistances •had
been gone into,- thought the better way would be,
not to grant the Writ in the first instance, but
only a Rule to shew Cause, which was ordered ac:.
cordingly. • '

" .Dittney-LAlie.,—The return' of KiitIBLE to this.
.Theatre last night, was evidently a very gratifying
event in the opinion- of the Public, for ho -wassre;
teived on his entrance.in ,the character of "R;chard
the Third,....vviih,.cooi4l. shouts. of applause by "a
very numerous Au(4etice. This applause was re
peated for' some
~tirrie, and the beginning of the.
fiat speech:„ was- lnkt:in the- cheering tumult ,of
welcome. KENIBL 'played wiih an exertion of
spirit ancr.a 'force. of.„judgment that gave the,
part chat6eriStic energy and truth.. In' some
of ..the passages he .was: more than. usually Suc-
cessful, particularly in his exultation. on the -seizure
of Buckingham, the agonizing horrors of the Tent_
scene,' in his clamours for a Horse during the battle,
in his contest'.. with., Rich/no:4d,-. and in the death.—
There was . a bustle, activity and fervour in the
whole of the latter scenes,. as well as dignity and
expression in his aeiion, highly creditable to his
talents. The. After-piece- was The Son. ;is Law,
which was "preceded by an. apology for 'the illness
,of•SuEir, and the appeararc,e 01 Putts.Ek in his
•charadet. PURSER has. acquired, considerable re-
pute in:performing the chart ter of Old Men. in
Comedy ; and he seems capable of being rendered
.iter'y useful on the London Boards
.CovErti.-GARnEN.—The standard -of, Richard
the Third '.was raised with great s"uccess.last night
at this Theatre, and.CooxE took the field with .his
'usual spirit. There, is much. solid ;merit in
atEling, aqd
..we .have, full reason to, confirm all the
favourable,reports which we have given in favour
:of his abilities, particularly as they appear in .the
ferociOni,. sarcastic, and subtle 'qualities of this
arduous charader. '

The Duenna will,. of course, be-brought forward
in splendid manner at Drury-Lane Theatre, and
the AuThor may .be expefted to give some height-
ening touches to the Dialog-tie. BANNISTER, Jun.

indeed, it has proved a hazardous task to follow

At Epping Fair, hi Essex, on Friday and Satur-
day last, there was the shiallest show of lean cattle
ever remembered. Not more than three score Scots

were. on the ground, nor above ten score North Wales
runts, most of which, from the high prices demand-
ed, went off unsold,

SOME PURI-Alla PARTICULARS OF MR. B.A.RCLAY'f:

WAItKING-MATcH.

, .
Tx t ground was Measured by the-Contraaing par-
iies; and a post fixed at the end of the mile, which,
in turning, required of Mr.. BARCLAY about one pace.
and. a halt each .mile, 'bat which was not, reckoner
in tlle-theasureme-nt. '.Persons were stationed.at the'
winning posts to notch abwn the rounds, and observe
thac.every 'thing ,Alas done in, a fair manner. On
each side of the_ road were placed a number of lamps;
On purpose. to- givelight during the.night. A few
•minutes before twelve, o'clock on. Monday evening
BARCLAY, with several of his friends, appeared
on the'ground, as did also Mr.' FI,ETC ER. Pre-.
••cisely-at f't.yeive,r six gtop watches were set, put in
a box at the. winning end, -and the box. sealed ; Mr.
BARCLAY starling at the:tithe. He wore a,flannel
clOse shirt, flannel trowsers, and night-can, lamb.
wool stockings, and large leather shoe's, rather.
thick in the soles. He went the first two miles in
twenty-five -minutes fen seconds,. anci.continued
nearly at the same rate, till' he' had
.gone sixteen -
miles, varying-only a -low seconds each round of.
twomiles. Here he halted. The house into which
he went to
,refresh Was situate on the ,right side -
of the course, about. ten .yards from the road side,_
and Which, in going in, and coming out, made
twenty yards, but which. Mr. BARCLAY did , not .
whit to be included in the distance. Mr. BAR-
c.LAY. remained about ten minutes in taking refresh-
ment, and changing 'clothes, proceeded' with his
match, - went fifteen miles more, and then re..
freshed and changed as-before. It was now seven
o'clock in thevrnorniog, which was' rather hazy.
—Mr. 33kRC LAY appeared., dull from 'the' damp-
ness of 'the nightrair. Betting, however, was
two to one and-five to two in.his faVour. , After
refreshing, he again set- out, appeared more - •
cheerful, and. went sixteen or seventeen miles mote
with much' ,apparent strength ; going each two
miles in abOut twenty-five minutes twenty' se..
conds. By. eleven, 'O'clock- he had gone 'fifty
miles, acid appeared to. proceed on his Course:with
greater-ease' and •iignur. -Betting was now four
and five -to °nein his "favour.:. When he had _gone
sixty miles, he stopped to,refresh and change clothes,
remained about ten•minutes• in the house, and came:"

and changed clothes, -.appeared well and strong, and,

o'clock on Tuesday evening, being one hour, seven!.

tithe.- What is rather deserving of, notice is, that:
he went -three successive rounds of two miles. ,
in exaaly- the. same tithe, vizi t;wenty..fiye minutes
and-fifteen seconds.• When he -carne
,in -was strong',.
and hearty, and.'said he-found himself 'so Well as to

anCe: of his match ; earriageS, mail-coacbes,,_ wag-
.gons, people on horseback and on foot, all went to •
the
.sides of the road, :in order -to- leave him a fra-e.
passage. He- never met with -the least interruption;
all seemed to wish him We 11..." The. West :York
Militia. who Were on their route from -Hull to
York, halted and. filed. in single division. to the •
sides of. the road,. and 'left him a clear passage.

It appears on the whole, that Mr. BARC L AY, after
'dedgting the time -he tool ..for refreshment, -Bcc.
went the ninety miles'in little more than -nineteen'
hours, exclusive of the extra yards in going and
coining from the house, and in turning the posts.-
The weather, except -from about four to seven in
;the morning, was very favourable.
Mr. BAR CL AY had been- in training for some time
before starting, by Mr., John Smith, of Oulston,
-near Easingwould. Mr. Smith's son, a young man.'
about 19 years of age, went the last thirty miles
'with Mr. BAR c LAY,-in order tokeep company with
him.—Mr-13XRc LAY is about 22 years 'of age, stout,
made, and about 'five feet eleven inches high. He
:walked much in the-manner of the celebrated Powell.
'The ground he chose had Several gentle risings ;.
when he came, to these, he in general made a sort
of a r.un up,- all the other parts.he mostly walked.
He.ate, very heartily v, hen he stopped.; his. food •
`was boiled fowls, mutton steaks,- 4,c:his drink
strong old beer,
After-the conclusion of the match,-Mr2 'BAR C LAY
remained. for the 'night at the house where he stop-
ped to refresh ; next "morning' he 'clrovu to Pock-
lington, where he was welcomed by—ringing. of
bells, and every demonstration of joy: He, ternamed-
'at Pdcklington the Wbole'cifWednesdaY, lrrived_
