A very extraordinary anecdote is retailed in a pri-
vate circle in Hiszh Life; which deserves from its sin-
gularity
.to be recorded. A young man of .some
distin&ion lately lost, to an Honourable, a sum of
money which he could not immediately command'.
.To pay this de,ht of honour. he applied to a/rim!,
who observed, that he could not advance the nee4fill
himself"; but he would ask a particular friend of his
to accommodate him. • This friend, who remained
in the.back ground., agreed to lend the 4001. wanted,.
provided the borrower would give his Bond for 10001.
to be 'paid at the death of an infirm and near rela
tive.. •This proposition wasfagreed to, and when the.
deedwica ,done, the money was advanced. Since this
arrangement, the winner and the lender turn out to
be one and the same' person. A further 'develope-
rnent has sinee- taken place, the particulars of which
walla due time be stated.

The -Earl' of DERBY turned out a.deer yesterday,
for the last time this season. It was started. at
Hayes Common. His Lordship Arrived on 'the
.ground at ten o'clock,. and ...there never was wit-
nessed a finer field of Sportsmen. The deer' took
a-head for Bottle Hill, and made for •Lirisfield Com-^
mon, then' ran over the Common, . and made head
back for Linstield, where he was taken, after a .run
of one hour and ten minutes. It was allowed by
the Sportstnen to be complete racing. After the
hunt, the Gentlemen partook of a grand dinner;
at the Greyhound, at Carshalton, where many'
loyal toasts were drank, and the Noble Earl's health
with three times. three. The only circumstance.
which damped. the day's sport, was occasioned by
one of his Lordship's whippers-in, who was thrown'
from his horse, against a wall, and was so much
hurt, that he was taken to Linsfield,' in a dan-
gerous state. - •

A farmer, near Cambridge, has 'engaged to run
forty miles in tiye haurs, over Newmarket Heath,
the second meeting. The. bets are 6 and 7to 4
against .him

At Chester7le-street races, in The county of Dur-
ham, a few-days agO, one of the horses fell, by which.
the rider ,was thrown, arid bruised in such a dreadful
manner that he died in a very.short time.
A few days since, a sow, belonging to a farmer at.
:Mock, in the county of Nort humberlacd,• was actu-
ally delivered in. one litter of twenty7ont4 pigs !: •
Tuesday last as John Couldry and James Davis
were employed in repairing a well at Frilford, in
Berkshire, a large quantity. of sandyearth fell in up-
on them, by which
_means they were killed. J.
eouldry .was ..nearly exiticaled, excepting his lega,
when a fresh quantity of earth slipped in, and quite
overwhelmed, him. Two.bther men were buried in
assisting to get.ilie poor men out, and it was with
the greateSt difficulty they w'ere,sayed. ,Davis has
left a. wife and 8 children. •

At the late Assizes at Lancaster, a cause came on
to be tried-, wherein. Messrs. .COLLIER and KNUT-:
TON, of Manchester, cotton-merchants, were the
Plaintiff's, and Messrs. )GOODALL and. BIRCHINALL,
of Macclesfield', cotton-spinners, were the-Defend-
ants ; and,- as it solved. a cause -of ...considerable.
importance to the commercial.world, but to cotton:.

Plaintiffs sold to
Defendants, in September last, a lot of 17 bags
of West India cotton, at the price of is. 1 od. per
pound, amounting to the sum of 50,71. its: 5.d, The
Defendants, at the time, of purchase, saw the lot of
cotton, as it lay in the Plaintiff's' warehouse; ap-
proved of the article, and requested it to be weighed
and forwarded to their works at Macclesfield. 'The
cotton was accordingly delivered ;. but to the sur-
prise of the Plaintiffs, was sent back by the Defend-
' ants, who alledged, that it was unclean and not mer-
chantable, and that, theretbre, they had right to
return it, and were not bound to make payment;
but having made use of a part of a bag, they Offered
and tendered to the Plaintiff's five guineas, as a
compensation for the small . quantity used. This
was rejected by the Plaintiffs; and when the usual
credit- for payment was expired, they felt themselves
called'upon to commence the present aEtion.- ' On
the trial the Plaintiffs produced. several .respe6table
witnesses, consisting of cotton-merchants and cot-
tonfr.spinners, who all spoke to the quality of -the
cotton and as to the price ; all *of them deemed
it a fair Merchantablei.rticle, and well worth the Frice'
sold ,at. The Defendants also produc;ed several
witnesses, cotton spinners, who gave it the contrary
character. The Learned Judge,- Mr. Justice
,BLANC, who tried the cause, gave it as his opinion;
that whatever qUantity of cotton the purchasers
were buying, if they saw one bag,' and7approved' of
it, and the whole were submitted to the Defendants'
view, it was their own fault if they did not examine
each particular bag; and by -their neglect in so do.-
ing,. they were bound to accept, and pay for the
whole: After a trial of upwards of four-hours, the
Jury gave a ver.Y.ia for the -Plaintiffs, for the-- fall

, in-law, had . gone -to Mr. Parker, pawobroker,• in
Fleet-street, and released the box of plate ziledged
. to have been. stolen and pawned. there by. Mr: An-
drews, or. his .agents, for 221. los) attended, and
stated, that while the elder Mr. Harris was a prisoner.
in the-King's Bench, the 'wife' of Mr. Harris,. his
friend, came to him and him that
.the box of
plate, her husband's.-property„ had been stolen ironi
'her father's house;.• but. She did not then know by
whom. In a few days afterwards, he .received a
note. from the elder Mr.„Harria, acquainting him
the goods were pawned atMr.'Parkeris by the per.-
'son Who had stolen thelai.. He went thither,, And
explained to Mr., Parker 'the circumstances of- the
:transaaion ; and Mr. Parker knowing, him to be a
Man of property- and -character, offered to surrender
the goods to him, on his_ paying the principal and
interest fur which they, sttiod pawned, and indem-
nifying him from any injurious consequence. TO
this, Mr. Young acceded, -and-received the. goods:
Shortly after Wards, he reCelVecl a :shrill-nobs toat-
'tend the Magi.itrates,,at Ghiiethall, to answer a com-
plaint for having received these goods from Mr. Par-
ker under false pretences. 'He attended according- •
but-no persokCame forward to sustain the pre-
tended charge, nor could. he_ ever learn the names
of the persons. who had made it.

Mr. Edward 'Warren ne;xt. appeared, and said he
was a Pilot, residing at Ratcliffe, and also an Officer
on board his Majestyos yacht. He kneW the Pri;
soner about SiXteen years since, but had note seen
him from that time until about live years ago, when
.he was again: introduced to him_ by a Mr. Hill, an
Attorney, ontOod-Lne. The •Witness was Wen
owner of a small vessel trading to Rotterdam, and
Mr. Andrews wisho To:mak:his passage to
,Rot-
terd-arn on .board' this. vessel ; and also •to. ship
a 'quantity of tobacco, which he purchased here;
.to trade. From some cause or -other, Mr. An-
drews. changed his ,purpose; but immediately pre-
vious to • Warren's sailing, he received a note con-
veying to him the compliments of Mr. Andrews
and Mr. Hill, and "requesting the -.favour of his
company, at the King's Head, on ToWer Hill; upon
particulan, busineSs attended them ; and,
after a short conversation, Mr. Andrews stated him-
self to be-extremely distressed for money; and in-
treate-1 hint earnestly` to accept' a draft, in his favour;
for a month; offering hiM, as security, a gold watch,
value about six guineas, which he produced,•and the
duplicate for a box of plate,' which, lit said, he had
pawned at Mr. Parker's. Warren,conl6Vitwn the pro- .
poSal fair, accepted the draft, dated 20t1': August,
1802, and sailed upon his voyage, Above three
months afterwards, on his return, finding the. Bill
not paid, ,as Mr.c7Alkdrews -promised, he sent a
friend to London with the' duplicate, td, secure
the .Plate own' indemnification : but he
was soon informed that'the plate was surrendered
to Mr. Young and; that Mr. Andrews had not
obtained it by'hO,ttot, Means. He applied to the
Magistrates at:,duildliall for a summons
.Young, but was afterWards' informed bysonie of his
friends that he could gain no redress without g•tat
trouble and exp'ence, and; theretbre he let the matter
rest. He never saw Andrews until three years after
. Wards, when fie,Mothint on Towel-7 hill; and upbraided
~him with his dishonesty. Mr.' Andrews very humbly
apologized for hiS Misconduct, protesting that Mr.
Warren would be the last man he would injure. He
promised.to make him anip,le restitution : they
'to the shop of Mr. Webb, a butcher, the neigh-
bourhood, where Mr, Andrews gave him an order to
receive a horse and chaise, his property, which were
aZ an inn, kept by a Mr. Smith; at Northfiect, in
Kent, and which would be delivered to him on pro-
ducing the order. Mr. Warren sent this order by a
friend of his going down to Gravesend, who, on
presenting
vcredentials to Mr.: Smith, the, latter
expressed much satistaation at 'getting -rid of his-
Charge, and receiving 451.. fo'r which the horse and
chaiSe'rentained in durance, ,I).esides
.the keep for
some weeks: Not judging this a very eligible bar-•
gain', he declined the claim, more especially as the
chaise might be liable to another claim from a Mr.
Mumford, of whom it had been bough( by Mr.
Andrews, but not paid for. - He understood the
horse and chaise were afterwards let to hire by Mr,
Smith, to repay some part ofhts loss, and the horse
died in the service.,

.Next came forward" Mr. 'Harris . senior, formerly
mentioned, a venierable old. man, above bo,• br.,keri
in spirit as well.Rs.thealth, 7 and the' victim of Mi.
Andrew 's ingenuity. He slated, that though he him.
been so many years..in prison, at the suit of t. e
holders of those -securities which he, bad been in-
duced to sign as a . when
,intoxicated with
wine,
.by Mr. A. and his associates,' he never•recek•ed.
any value Whatever for them, nor Old be:ever know
the names or persons of thoat. whose suit be wa;
arrested. While he was-in pci.son 'he was informed
by a young man, named Warren Hastings, an assistant
in his shop, since dead, •tiKit in a few days after he
was sent to.prison, ;I:1d broken open
his drawers,• and hiken i*;•oimtlicnce a Valuable snuff-
box„twelve.table,pd eighteen'tea,gpoons,,Vith a Va.'
riety: of other articles it, pike and. linen.to,Above
value of 146 l; He was informed by Hastings,
that Andrews had the-4,4-less•t•o),l.,lievdle Vindut.of
sol, in bills and money 'received iii a profeSsional way
from his. patients.; and that the property lie:l6.J' by,
Mr. Andrews, exclusi~ e of the dent fot which he was,
iipprisaned, was cap!. in the wreck of firs
'all his goods and' furniture were sold •under
execu-
tion, upon the fictitious securities, relduc.'d'hitn
from a state of comfort and independence to 'abso-
lute. ingpry. in lit, old age, so that, on his.liberation,

next pretence was to take her eldest boy into his
own coenting-house, to get her next two boys into
the Blue Coat School, which he couldsco by speaking
a word, and to give: to her husband's employer the
contract for furnishing a large new house he Was
about to take with cabinet ware and upholstery. In
two days afterwards, a letter was, brought to him,
which he read, and then came into-her parlour, and
said he had just received what would enable him RI
make her and her family ; it was a letter telling him
to go to the Bank to receive a large sum of money.
In a few dad s more he applied again ; and, said,
if they could by any means raise; a little more money
for him, they should be amply repaid. , She told
him it was impossible, her little family-was so much
embarrassed; but afterwards, induced by his solemn
oaths and promises of repaying in a day or two, and
doing fur her family, she was induced to strain every ,
nerve,• and raise tor him every shilling she could,
While Mr. Andrews carried on his part of the plot, his •
-spouse was working Under hand; she visited Mrs.
Mortimer, pitied her for labouring so hard, °tiered to
aid her in some 'valuable needle work she had in
hand, merely for amusement, and actually got from
her a number of valuable articles to mark for her
customers ; in a few days afterwards she induced the
poor woman to lend her scene clothes, a quantity of
which had been bequeathed to her by a sister who
!lad recentlysdied in good circumstances, pretending,
that she wanted to boo and visit the Executors of an
Aunt who had left her a teialing legacy of pub as all
her own clothes were at her country-house, and she •
• had nothing fit toappear in. When the Lady was
dressad in this .borrowed plumage, Mr. Andrews,.
p-aware _I ready to escort her, observed to Mrs.
Mortimer, that his wife looked Very; spruce, and
:though the day Was, fine, asked to burrow an um-
brella, lest it might rain: this also he obtained. He
and his Lady thee set out With their daughter, but
never returned again, taking with them, besides the
poor woman's clothes, the nyedle-work which Mrs. ,
Andrews so kindly undertook to mark, and leaving
the poor faintly reduced to the greatest distress.
Mr. Graham, an eminent watchmaker, formerly of
Piccadilly, now of Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury,
stated, t hat in June; 1803, Mr.. Andrews came to his
house, in Piccadilly, and desired to see some watches,
which svereaccordingly shewn to hills. He had not
time to wait for a choice then, but desired Mr.
, Graham. to send up some high-1 riced watches next ;
morning to his mansion; in Baker-street, for his in-
speaien. Mr. Graham took them himself, and Mr.
Andrews selected one, value forty guineas, wh iche he
- said, he should take for a fortnight on trial, and de-
sired Mr. Graham to call at that time, and if the
watch was liked, he should be paid.. Mr. Graham
had no suspicion, and agreed to come at the time
named; but, at aheend of a week, Mr. Andrews
0 called on him again, expressed -his approbation of
•the first watch, and chose another for his lady, value
thirty guineas,' desiring MreGraham to call at the
• 'end of the week, and receive the money for beth. Mr.
Graham fell into t hisarap too e and, On calling in Ba-
ker-street, at toe time named, Inund• hia.etaabtners
had decamped, the iflor stripped of its plate, and the
house empty. He went to the Gentleman by whom
• Mr. Andrews told him he Was recommendedebUt he
knew no such persons Mr. Graham, however, set
on foot so alive an enquiry, and so far excited the
• apprehensions of Mr. Andrews,, that at the end of
• '• three•months, he received a parcel, containing both
his watcheS, without any other deduction thah the
gold keys given with theme value 245. and to this
• amount Mr. Graham was 'bound over to prosecute.
The next witness Was Mr. Champion, a tavern-
keeper, a Richnand, who said he had Mr. Andrews'
company and that of his lady at his house, for a month
or more, in the summer of 1.803,; they banqueted in
a princely style, but clecamped without settling the
bill; and eyed •x poor old boatman, who daily row-
ed them in his whetay, .on their pleasure excursions
upoit the Thames; lost all his labour, without a far-
thins,- remuneration. '
A thing
Sherriff, a taylor, stated, that he bad
made lip and sent home for Mr. Andrews and his
footman clothes to the amoitht of 201. which he,
never received. •
There were some 'further Witnesses on minor
charges, which we have not room to detail.
Mr. Andrews certainly put the best face on the
matter during the whole of this testimony he
seemed highly diverted, and laughed very heartily
•at many of the good jokes he bad played off when
repeated against him. • •
He was remanded for further examination. on a
fUture day.
