TAPP V. FIELDING.

In .:this case, which excited some ridicule, the
Plaintiff, a .farmer, filed his Bill against his neigh 7
hour; Mr. Fielding, a Barrister at Law, residing at
Scot-ten; in the County of*Y-Ork, for an account of
the 'valtle of divers -articles and gOods, furnished by
the Plaintiff to the Defendant, such as beef, mut-
ton, salmon, potatoes, grass, straw, a poney, &c.
between the years 1795 and 1800; he alsd charged
the Defendant with obtaining from him 361. for
drawing or preparing .the Will of the Plaintiff's
Father; but, on the other side, it. was contended,
that a Deed of Conveyance, to raise 3004 was
prepared by the Defendant, which reqbireci a jour-
ney of 25 miles, and five or six days space of the
Defendant's time, with other expellees. This kind
of conveyancing was ludicrously called by a Bar-
rister in the 'cause, dragooning. A .promissory note
having been obtained by the Barrister, for 361. with-
out the bill being taxed; was insisted on as a ground
for opening the accounts; but Sir SAgUEL Ro-
-1 ULLY contended, -on behiilf of the 'Barrister, that
if the payment-Were in cash,.it would be quite fair
and legal, and that' the promissory note made no
difference ; .for that a Barrister and' Conveyancer
might take security for their fees.; but here the Bar-
rister, after having ,advanced money to, and pro-
cured bail for. Plaintiff, during, his embarrass-
ments, and obt'ained a security of 1401. including.
the 361. from hitn, and on the ground of that se-
curity, did proceed at law,. and obtained a verdi&
for 711. on; r, which was paid.
On the trial at law, the Plaintiff used, by way of
a set-off against the aetion, all theiteins now com.
pkzed in his objee'lions and schedule;and had all
the benefit of them.; and he stated, that this was'
.
one of those cases, in'which people 'of a certain de-
scription, cash failing in all other ways,.hoped or.
thought rather than hear a dirty-story related ha
the Court of Chancery, a party might he inclibed
to give•some money.—He athled, that Mr. Fielding
was not at that tune a Bairister, and that the note
for 361. made no part whatever of this case, in
which there was a point of law -which- he would
insist on. Mr. HART being absent, and having re-
- quested to. be waited for on behalf of the Plaintiff,
the CHANCELLOR said he must hear him in it,
• but it was manifest that he perceived no equity in
the case.

SUSannah ,HarriSfni., aged. ..the servant of a
the vicinity cat F'ee't-rmrket, named
:Aer, was chayged stolen,, on the
preceding night, from. the till. of her_ master, flair
rion.-!s and eighteen' in money.—
She detected Shortly ritt r the theca, by a wO-
- wl4 saw in her possessiun some linen drape-
ry slie had purchaSed, and saw her wrap up in it
three Lack notes ; and snspeeling they could not
be her's honestly, she told her master. The
wrier was taken into custody immediately, acknow-
ledged the theft, and said she was indueed 'to it in,
order to procure money to lend to a coachman named
Coqnn, whp had importuned her for that purpose.
Cotton, who was on this statement taken into cus-
tody, appeared, and acknowledged that the gii-1 had,
or her own accord, frequently, lent him shillings and
11.1 f-crowns ; and that, on Saturday last; she had
hi-Ought to him, at his stables, a pair of cotton
stockings, and several neck and pocket handker-
chiefs, which, she said, she had bought on purpose
for him, with money her mother had given her;
but he denied -having said any thing w hatever to per-
stiade her to the present crime.
It ,seemed that the youthful culprit had made
thosepresvits as love 'tokens. -Her paramour, who
is coachman to a Gentleman, in Bridge street, Black-
friars, is an athletic man, six feet high.—The
coachman was discharged, and the girl remanded
fUrther examination. ,

.61 ikon, a: dashing Cyprian,' underwent an
examinatiQn nn' Thursdays charged with robbing a
Gentleman c)fiheitame of Dye, of-his pocket bOok,
COntairiog a 51. Bank of England note, and 18s. in
silver. AS Mf. 'Dye was walking up Ludgate-hill,
about eleven o'clock at night, the prisoner, who is
a 'stout' powertid :woman, pounced upon him, seized
him rottd the body, and took from his side-pocket
the property above mentioned. He-instantly cliarg-
ed her with stealing his pocket-book, 'and gave her
into the custody of a watchman who -was observing
the Prisoner's coudut but on her being conveyed
to the watchhouse, , and searen,d,... the property.
was 114 found. No per Son
,beitig near Mr. Dye at
the time he was 'robbed but the watchman, and as
he had been dr.;nking with the , Prisoner not a mi 7
nute before, there was
.reason to believe that he, was
iMplicated in the affair ; and it was -suggested that
he should also be searched ; but before the Constable
id the Night,could effea it, he suddenly disappeared,
nor could he be found,for some time ; and when he
was found, the excuse he Mader'-for quitting-the
watchhotise was'so improbable, that the Officer of
the Night sent him, with the 'Prisoner, to the
ompter. Mr. Dye, however, declining to swear
positively that he saw the Prisoner Wilson convey
his -pocket-book to the Watchman; though, from
their manner, they seemed perfectly acquainted, he
'vas diScharged but Ann Wilson- was fully corn-
milted for trial. The watchman, elated at his dis-
missal, said he was to be found every night at the
corner of tile Old Bailey ; but the Magistrate, cent-
,ceiving him to he an improper person to guard--the
property .of his fellow citizens, informed him, that
he had gi yeii such instructions that he would te found
there.ria. more. .

PUi3 LTC OFFICE, FLITTON-GARDEN.—Yesterday
341iimil Thompson charged her master, Mr. Enses,
of Sommers' Town, wall grossly assaulting h?r, by
heating and otherwise ill-treating her. Mr. Enses
stated-that the Complainant was irregular in her con-
due, and of a violent temper. She had cut him
with a knife deeply in the arm;- and he spewed the
wound in the Otlice. Under these circumstances
she oecame the object of prosecution herself, f-r
cutting and maiming, under Lord Ellenhorough'i
Att. Sh:, was therefore c:a omittectto take her trial
for the. sail -oance. -•

Biker,. named Moss, who lives in Union-
court, Holborn, was charged otv;suspicion with the'
murder of Bind's, whom he had threatened with
personal injury about a fortnight ago, and who has
11+4 since been heard of. A person answering his
description in size and dress, waS,• however, lately
found drowned in the River Lea, near Bow. The
Prisoner was committed for re-exarnination.

MILITARY BENEvicENCE.--Immediately on their
leaViug the dreadful:coriflagration at Chudleigh, in
Devonshire, the first Regiment of Lancashire
stationed at Exeter, not only sent the whole of
their camp equipage to shelter the unhappy sufferers,
but the Officers bade a liberal subscription, and' the
non-commissioned Officers and Privates contributed
each one day's pay towards their relief.

SAILIN G Abaci-I.7,—Thursday the long depending
Sailing Match, for fifty guineas;between Captain
CAMFBEL ALI4:-N, of the Sally, and Captain GARD-
.sza, of. the Victory, both of Horsleydown, took
place. They started from Cuckold's Pont to Erith and
back.- It way won by the Sally. The match was
one of the sharpest contested we ever remember. to
have witnessed on the - Thames ; bets at starting
were ten -to five in favour of the Victory. When.
they arrived at Erith, they were as high'as teti to
one ; but just before they were abreast of Green-
wich on the .return, the odds were in favour of the
Sally,which increased as she came up the river, and
she beat the Victory by about a cable's length.
A shocking, accident- happened a few days ago
_fit
Earls Heaton, near Wakefield, Yorkshire, a sad 'in-
stance of the danger of carelessly leaving tire-at-Ms
loaded. A poor'woman, rather defedive intel-
lea, who baslong 'been 'inhurbanly made the sport
,of the unthinking and mischievous, • was passing
ai:ing the street with a small 'child in her arms, when
.a thoughtless young t6all• snatched up a gun, 'that
lead) been put down undischarged,•and pointing
it at the poor creature, exclaimed, " I luve long
said I would shoot thee, but now I will." He pull-
ed the trigger,,the explosion took place, and lodged
the charge in the arm, near tie shoulder, and in the
infant woich she was tarrying._ Both were so much
.brill'sed.that their recovery is said to be doubtful.---!
The young man, panic-struck at the accident, in-
' stat.-01)threw down the gun, ran off, and, we under-
. stand, has not yet ,been beard of.
