AN Ot.n SOLDIER.-After the defeat of the
King's troops,
by the Highlanders, at Falkirk, in the year,
1746, an, Officer's horse, of Halley's Dragoons, which, in the
retreat, were scattered over all the neighbourhood of the field,
fell into the hands of a brewer there, who employed the once
noble animal to drag his ale and water upon one of the heavy
sledges which were then used in place of carts. Many' years
a teiwards, while the horse was at a pump, with a large
barrel upon the sledge, and had got it filled with wa-
ter, the trumpeter of a troop of cavalry, which were that
morning to leave the town, blew for the muster ; the
lOng forgotten sound scarcely caught the animal's ear, than
as if awakening his former glory, the horse set off full speed,
with the sledge and barrel, to where the cavalry were drawn up,
driving them all into confusion, and calmly took his accus-
tomed situation at the head ,of the line. The Commander,
surprised at its grotesque .appearance,
.on being informed of
the hors6's past services, stroked its head, while it seemed con-
scious of the tlistincticin, When they marched, it reared and
plunged most furiously, and all the exertions of the .brevier
were necessary to prevent it, with the heavy incurnbrance,Treirn
quitting its drudgery, and marching off along with them.

ELORE V. STOCKDALE.
Mr. JONES, in opening the pleadings, stated that this was an
action brought by the plaintiff, who is a statuary and stone-
mason in Piccadilly, to recover from the defendant, who is a
publisher and bookseller in the Royal Colonnade, Pall-mall,
compensation in damages for injury sustained by. him in con-
sequence of the defendant having published a--false and mali-
cious libel upon the character of the plaintiff in a work enti-
tled The Memoirs of Harriette Wilson. The defendant plead( a
the general issue.
Mr. SCAULETT, in stating the case for the plaintiff, read
the libel, which was contained in a letter alleged to have been
-written by Harriette Wilson's sister-Fanny, then the kept Mis-
tress of Captain Parker, in which she stated. that she had just
declined an offer of marriage made to her by the plaintiff; end
that the plaintiff, in making her the offer, told her " that he
would have no objection to her taking a little .pleasure on Sur-
days, and wearing the best of every thing ;" " that a role husr
band would be better than these here fellows of officers ;" the?`
must for the present mind the mainclianu, hut that he expect-
ed hereafter to have his Willa," &c. A libel more calculated.
said Mr. Scarlett, to disturb the plantiff's domestic comfer;
could not he penned, because at the very time when this offer
was stated to have been made, the plaintiff was a married man,
and the father of a family,

that he purchased the Number of, the Mempiis containing the

children. He knew the father of .Harriette Wilson; his nave,/
was Debouchet ; and he kept a,shop in Queeti.a.treet,

the eldest of whom is about 25 years of age, and the second son
about a year or two younger.

Mrs. Trigg proved, that about 18 ycara ago " Fanny.'
