COVE.—The Committee formed there for alleviating the
miseries which the working and labouring classes of that
town and vicinity have so patiently endured, commenced on
Monday the good work of employment, by setting 100 men
to repair the streets and improve some of the roads leading
to the town ; it is rumoured that a most important and use-
ful work is in: contemplation, by which a regular supply of
water will be conveyed on a cheap yet permanent plan to-
wards three points, from whence the inhabitants will be
enabled to obtain a daily quantity adequate to their wants, and
relieved from the very laborious exertions now necessary to pro-
cure it. The increase of the population of Cove, and the ad-
ditional numbers that at this period of the year are induced by
salubrity of the air, and the convenience of salt-water bathing,
to fix their residence there, all tend to promote the adoption of
such a plan with as little postponement as circumstances can
allow, and we are induced to hope that very speedily we may
be enabled to announce the commencement of a work promising'
such advantages.—There are 240 families supplied with oatmeal,
and the men employed at labouring work, get Bd. per man per
day, which employment can be continued for a few weeks.—
The number of applicants for relief is still increasing, and but
for the precautionary measures used, this town would have been
unexampled in distress.—The Committee for the management
of the Fund are unceasing in their exertions ; they hold fre-
quent meetings, and also superintend individually the different
works which are carried on.—( Cork Advertiser, June 6.)
CORK, JUNE 3.—( Early Wheat.)—We have been favoured
this morning with some specimens of wheat in considerable for-
wardness, the ear being perfectly formed, and shot out from the
spindle ; estimating from the present appearance of the season,
it is calculated that within the Liberties, where wheats were
generally sown in the month of September, reaping will com-
mence the first week- in August.

Yesterday, twenty convicts arrived in this City from
Limerick, among whom was Cussen, who had been convic-
ted of heading the party that attacked Mr. Shelton's house
during the late disturbances. They were conveyed on five
cars, but Cussen was indulged with a chaise ; they were all
chiefly well looking stout young men, and appeared no way
disheartened at their situation. They were lodged in the
Depot last night, and are to be sent down the river this evening,
to be put on board a vessel, prepared to take them to New
South Wales. This day fifteen more arrived from Clonmel,
and immediately proceeded to the Depot ; one of these was a
grey-headed old man, with quite a patriarchal appearance, his
hair flowing about his shoulders.—( Cork Chronicle, June 5.)

WILLS.

[Continued from Friday's Su N.]

To the Commons'- House of Parliament of the Empire el
Great Britain, &c. &c. now assembled;

The humble Petition of the undersigned, one in profession
with the people called QUAKERS; of the Parish of
MARPARET'S in the CITY of WESTMINSTER, -

SIiEWETII—That an illiterate female, who had arrived at
the great age of between seventy and eighty years, died in the
year 1814, to whom your Petitioner is a joint heir. And that
a person who was and had long been her active agent, did pri-
vately, and whilst she was on her dying bed, prepare and
make a will, purporting to be the will of the said female,
wherein the said agent illegally constituted and appointed him-
self a joint executor and a residuary devisee, with two other
' persons (all strangers. in blood), to the said female, to a pro-
perty concealed under a residue, to the amount of fifty thou-
sand pounds, excluding the rightful hpirs-at-law of the de-
ceased from any share of her property, With
.the exception of a
small legacy to two of them..
That a trial of ejectmentW'as first instituted with a view to
annul the said Will, and that the is .-me was tried' in the Court
of King's Bench in the year 1815 ; when, from some very im-
portant omissions and irregularities in the proceedings, arising
out of an evident dereliction of duty of some persons concerned
for the plaintiffs, a verdict was given for the defendants. •
That a probate of the aforesaid agent's will was afterwards
granted in the Ecclesiastical Court, Doctors' Commons, solely
on ex-parte evidence, there having been no allegations exhibit-
ed in behalf of the plaintiffs.
That in consenuence of the aforesaid agent having presumed
illegally to make himself an heir to the said female, your peti-
tioner bath been a sufferer to the amount of one-fourth share of
fifty thousand pounds.
That your petitioner hath reason to believe that other per-
sons have been injured and defrauded by agents illegally mak-
ing themselves heirs to testators, and that the increased practice
;s recent, and brought into action from the example of your pe-
titioner's case.
That it appeareth to your Petititioner, that the success of the
Defendants in your Petitioner's case bath operated as a.i ex-
ample for similar fraudulent and'illegal practices, even in the
principality of Wales ; as it bath been communicated to your
Petitioner that, within a few years only, several instances have
occurred, where agents and other persons have made them-
selves devisees under Wills they were employed to prepare, and
that it is stated that such illegal practices had never been known
to have taken place there before ; and that in the county of
Radnor two of those fraudulently obtained Wills have been
annulled in the Court of King's Bench, solely on the ground of
the illegality of any person making himself an heir to. any
testator.
That the county of Radnor was under great ferment and
alarm at the discovery, and that it had caused some testators
immediately to examine the Wills they had by them, and
many persons had discovered attempts at the same illegal

impOsition.
That it appeareth to your Petitioner, in a cause tried at the
summer assizes holden at Cork, in the year 1815, before Baron
George and a Special Jury, that a Will made by an Agent of
the testator, going to deprive his family of the said testator's
property, was annulled on the ground of the illegality of any
agent or person making himself an heir to a testator, and that
in this case also the instructions for making the Will could not
be produced.
That it appeareth to your Petitioner, there was no preCedent
on record prior to the year 1815, where a Will made by a per-
son who was an heir under it, that had been disputed in the
Ecclesiastical Court, and allegations exhibited, had been con-
' firmed, or any decision in the Court of King's Bench, or in the
Court of Chancery, that went to the establishing of such Wills.
That it appeareth to your Petitioner, the practice is one
which the wisdom of our ancestors,
,the Romans, held to be so
dangerous and unjust, even at the direction of the testator, that
they enacted a law, making it death for any person who made
. himself an heir to a testator : viz. " Lex Cornelia--qui se
scripsit liceredem, quamvis dictconte testatorc, pcena capitali
afficiatur ;" which law it doth not appear to your Petitioner
bath ever yet been repealed.
That it appeareth to your Petitioner, if such practice is once
established, it would prove highly dangerous, from its placing
persons -,:ho prepare SVills in a situation of great temptation to
commit frauds, and by its holding out powerful inducements
for the formation of conspiracies for committing of frauds on
the illiterate,_ aged and infirm ; and at a time, too, when they
may, from a series of afflictions, ,be .incautioas and indifferent
as to temporal affairs, and in a state incapable of comprehend-
ing or of detecting such imposition.
That it would frustrate the due administration of the law,in-
asmuch as it would preclude the evidence of the person who
prepareth the Will, and deprive both plaintiffs and defendants
of evidence on very important points, such as they could not
supply from any other quarter: so that what would be a source
of security to the fraudulent, would operate as an instrument of
obstruction to the recovery of the property of rightful heirs or
legatees.
That your petitioner bath marked the rapid progress the ex-
ample of his case is making, with the deepest feelings of regret,
' and is anticipating with the utmost solicitude the direful effects
it is calculated to produce on the rightful heirs and legatees,.so
fatal to the peace and happiness of families, and of the com-
, munity in general ; and cloth humbly, most solemnly and ear-
nestly implore, that this House will be pleased to take into
their most serious consideration this momentous subject, and
enact such laws to prevent the case of their petitioner being
made an established precedent, as to their wisdom may seem
meet. And your petitioner shall, as in, duty bound, pray, &c..
(Signed) EDWARD OLLETT.

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS,

DURING THE LAST WEEK.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, June 4.
Although there was a manifest falling off in the import
during the week, it is still of a magnitude far greater than
any demand there is at present for it, and of course adds to
the heavy stuck in granary. To-day's market was equally
dull as the preceding one, and the fine weather tends further
to depress prices. Wheat was offered 3d per bushel below
last week's currency, and could not be got rid of in quantity.
There is little or no demand for either Barley or Malt ; both
are somewhat lower. Old Oats were 2d to 3d, and new Id
per bushel cheaper; Beans Is per quarter, and Flour Is per
pack. Some bonded Wheat is at present expoiting to Bra-
zil, &c.
