young jockey boasted that he had sold a horse for
101. above his %Ape. A Yorkshire friend, present
requested to see the money; on which the seder
produced 401. in bank notes, upon a bank that had
no existence, being the consideration tur which he
bad sold his horse.

CUESTIR SIMMER ASSIZES.

LEES V. WEAVER.

This was an action of a nature so extremely sin-.
gular, that we find some difficulty in describing it.
It was an action of trover for a female, of the desig-
nation
of Miss Rachael. If she hadany other name
it certainly did not appear in the course of .the
cause. She was simply indicated as Miss Rachael.
Mr: TOPPING stated the cause to the Jury with
aconsiderable degree of humour. It appeared that
a .person of the name•of Woodcock, claimed the
exclusive right to' this young mature. He had
two other females, over whom he possessed so ab 7.
solute a dominion, that it extended even to the
right of selling them by auaion, or by private con-
traa, just as an African merchant would sell his
slaves. Besides Rachael, he had a Miss
.Tidy, and
no less a personage than Lady Williams.• Rachael,.
Miss Tidy, and Lady Williams, had all 'Seen their
best days : but the two latter, particularly, were
declining into the vale of life, and had manifested
unequivocal symptoms of sterility. Mr. Wood-,
cock, therefore, determined to get rid of them all ;
and, with that view, agreeably to the custom of
this county, lie put halters round their necks, and
carried them to the public market, just as the •
lower orders of people in London carry their wives
for sale to Smithfield Market. They were put up
to auaion by Mr. Prince, an auatoneer,, as cele-
brated in Cheshire, as Mr. Burton is in Cheapside.
Lady Williams was first offered for sale,.. but no 'one
would have any thing to say to her; and even Ita-.
aael and Miss Tidy were brought in. The auc-
tioneer, finding the bidders had no-spirit,- bethought,
him of a very excellent expedient ; be gave them a
dinner, and plied' them afterwards 'with -a, bottle of
wine • a-piece. He then remounted the rostrum,
and Lady Williams, Miss Tidy, and Rachael, all,
sold
,at very high prices. The Plaintiff purchased
Rachael, the Defendant had Lady Williams, and
somebody else got Miss Tidy. - The parties were
conveying their respective' purchases home, but,
elated by the libations with which the' auction had
beenaccompanied, they stopped by the.way; and re-
newed their devotions at the shrine of Bacchus so de-
voutly, that they neither of them knew Rachael from.
Miss Tidy, or either from Lady Williams. The result '
was, that the defendant Mr:Weaver, who had bought
Lady 'Williams, carried off Richael, the lawfUlly-
purchased property of 'Mr. Lees; 'the Plaintiff.' The
Defendant even, upon the return of reason and so-
briety, was so well pleased' with Rachael, that he`
refused to return her. The Plaintiff was nbt
to give up Rachael for Lady Williams ; in faa,
Lady Williams, within 'a very few days, tuet a pre-
mature death. She had the 'misfortune to be gored.
by a bull in the side. The Defendant, however,
refused to part with Rachael, and the present
anion was brought to recover the possession of her.
'The witnesses for the Plaintiff clearly proved, that
he had purchased Rachael, 'and that the Defendant
had afterwards eloped with her; leaving Lady Wil-
liams in her stead. The Jury, consequently, with
hardly a moment's .hesitation, rettirni a verdict for
the Plaintiff.
It appeared that Rachael,' Miss Tidy, and Lady
Williams,. were three cows, of very ancient families,
and all of them lineal descendants of 10.

A distiller in Copenhagen has lately published an
account stating, that having several times distilled
brandy or gin from wheat steeped in salt water, by
constantly obtained nearly 2-27ths more spirits than
front an equal-quantity of wheat not so steeped.
About 7 o'clock yesterday evening, an alarming
fire happened at a small house inhabited by Mr.
Cleaver, a coal dealer,• in Clayton-street, near Ken-
nington Common. The family were at chapel
when the flames were discovered, and notwithstand-
ing the doors were burst opon, the neighbours were
unable to save a quantity of goods which had been
lately . brought on the premises. The lower part
of the house contained coals, wood, &c. which burnt
• rapidly, and made a strong light in the firmament.
Some engines arrived with great promptitude, and
about nine o'clock the fire was extinguished. The,
damage done is confined to Mr. Cleayey's house and
some stables backwards. The former is btirnt to
the ground.
_ A daring highway
.robbery was committed 'on
Sunday se'nnight between Chatteris and Doddington,
in the isle, of Ely. Mr. Green, of March, accom-
panied by his wife, was driving in a one4torse
chaise, when two men on the road seized the
horse's bridle, and demanded Mr. Green's money.
Mr. G. declared he would nut be robbed, and jumped
out of the chaise whereupon one of .the villains dis-
charged a pistol at him, the ball from which took
off three of his fingers, and ',wounded him severely
in the face. They then robbed him of five 101. bills
of the St. Neot's Bank, and a few small notes, with
which they made their escape.
On Saturday week, John Harrison, •of Kighley,
aged seventy-seven, went from that place to Wake-
field, and, dier delivering a letter in Westgate, re-
turned to Kighley, a distance of fifty miles, in the
short space of seven hours and a half. The only
sustenance he took during his journey was, 'two
draughts of spring water and a bit of bread.
' In One Day, the Drawing of the State Lottery,.
consisting of only. Five. Thousand Numbers, will
be begun and ended, and the. Sum of Two, Hundred
Thousand Pounds distributed in Prizes. Applica-
tions Yor Tickets or Shares must be made at Swift
and Co.'s Offices, No.ll, Poultry, No. 12, Charing
Cross, .dr No. 31, Aldgate High-street,. before the
20th of this month, the day appointed for the
Drawing.
Let it -happen whenever it may, that any great
event is depending, the sooner it is decided the more
pleasing it is to the imagination. This grand event
is exemplified in the present Lottery Scheme; it
charms the imagination more than is in the power
of any individual to point out; the expedition of,
having a chance. of so extraordinary a magnitude, •
as sharing a part of Two Hundred Thousand: Pounds
Prize Money in a few hours, has given a new turn
in favour of the present Lottery, and has created an
unexi.eded demand-for Tickets and Shares. Horns-
by- mid Co. experience a sale at their Offices, that
leaves no doubt'but the few remaining Tickets and
i Shares will be disposed of before the 20th instant.-
