Yesterday at Marlborough-stteet, a young man
was charged with au assault, arising out of the fol-
lowing circumstances. The Defendant, a miniature-
painter, had been employed by a tradesman in St,
James's to take the likeness of hi 9 DieCe• During
the necessary intercourse, the. limner .became en-
raptured with the fair original, and after having per-
formed his task, he made several unsuccessful at-
tempts to gain another interview. He partly suc-
ceeded on .Monday evening, and the assault was
committed whilst the tradesman •was exercising his
right in putting the modern APELLE out of his
house. •

Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, as the
watchman was going his rounds near London Bridge,
be observed a man,dresSed like a countryman, sitting
on the ground near' St. Magnus Church. He told
him not to sit there, as from the inclemency of the
weather it would probably prove fatal to him, and
advised him to go to Dark.honse7lane, where he.
would find a good fire, and be enabled to -obtain
some refreShment. The man told the' watchman he
would; and that.he was going to Chatham. The
watchman left him, as he thought.,, going to Dark-
house-lane ; hut he was. soon after :discovered by
another watchman, extended on the ground.' He
was taken up and removed to: the watchhoase,
• where everyettort to restore animation proved inet.-
t-edual. He was apParently a man advanced iti.years.;
hip name not yet been discovered.; and he had
about hu n sinte btleldtand cheese, and a sixprice.

'Lilld REPO/Cr.

COURT OF CHANCERY, NIARer 17.
'FOX V. I'LETCHER- AND 0.1'1117,It.•;.

. • Tnrs cause came on upOn demurrer to the De-
fendant's answer. The bill was filed for an.account,
discovery, &c. and charged the Defendants e;vith
confederating indepreciating the value of certain ar-
ticles in the foreign marketsc,, to the Plaintiffs in-
jury, &b,' .
cause arose out of several transa&ions -in the
fur trale.. An agreement was entered- into by a
number of persons, 'about the year 1788., and several'
Ships were fitted out, in order to Carry furs from
Nootka Sound, and other parts of North America, in
order: to supply the respe6tive, markets of Russia
and China. The Plaintiff was a party in. this
,ven-
ture, and charged the Defendants with various ads
subsequently done -by. them, in order to depreciate
the artiele.ein the foreign market, and by these
pleadings. the' Defendants were called upon to set
forth the number of ships, of what description,
tonnage, &c. ; .• at what
,port or ports, &c. they
were fitted out ; also when, where, and hew, they
traded for skins in North America and elsewhere,
and what quantity, &c.: and also the number of
sea-otterskins imported.into Russia and China, and
at what, port or ports 'the- same were so imported,
apd the quality and prices, &c. during a long
period of time ; and 'further, 'how many and' what
were the Edicts published, by the Emperor of Rusiia,
or by the Emperor of China, prohibiting or errcou-
raging this trade, or how Otherwise, &c. &c.' _
The Lotto CHANCELLOR, after looking over these
pleadings,. and repeating some parts aloud, ob-
served; that this gill reminded him of a case before
Lord Ashberne, upon a question of the sea-worthi-
lICSS of a shy, where it was stated, that there had
been a quantity of rats on board, and it was asserted
that the leaks were stopped by the rats' tails,
and the party was called upon to set out in hi's an-
swer, the number of rats on board, and whether they,
had tails' or not ; and other trifling and irrelevant.
matter. ,Hislordshili, therefore, could not see the
possibility of answering 'many of the allegations in
the Plaintiff's Bill.
The SOLICITQR—GE:siERAL, Mr. PERCIVAL; and,
Mr. COOKE, contended, at considerable length, that-
'the demurrer was bad, in as much as it should have
set` out the particular allegations in the Plaintiff 'S
bill to which the: Defendants were to give their
answer, and many of which were wholly irrelevant,
and not bearing at ell on the merits of the case.
Mr. LEACH, on the other hand, supported the de-
murrer; and with resped to the-merits of the case
itself, said, that h was'of great importance tire al., ,
legations alluded to should be fully answered, as he
should hereafter spew, .NiThen the merits of the case
came to be discussed. 'And, with resped to 'the
farm,.in point of law; it was sufficient.-
The Loßn CEIANCELLOR, said, that before he
Would pronotince a judgment upon this case, he
would look ettentively over all the voluminous
pleadings, many of which appeared, to him frivolous,
irrelevant, and wholly impossible to be answered ;
at the same time he did not wish to that the Plain-
tiff out of'eny benefit which he might derive from a
i'nore'particular answer to his bill. This being a
Bembrrer for a disLovery, he certainly wouldlook at
it with a veryiealons eye. 'He observed, however,
that calling upon the party to set out' how many
otter Skins were imported into Russia and China,
from all parts of the'world, for a long period of time,
was a thing totally impossible.,
The cause, consequently, stands over for j. udgMente

The following circurnstrance recently occurred at
Devizes, in Wiltshire. A poor woman, who w;th
her children had by chance strolled into the above
toWn, died suddenly before she could proclaim her
parish. The body Was interred in the church-yard
of St. Mary, to which parish the: children became
chargeable.- A report was very soon propagAted.
inuongst the good talks of the town, that the church-
yard vvas _troubled with Ipoanings, and the Sexton
of the parish, ,a resolute fellow, undertook to hives-
,
tigate the business. He cc.)irtirrro the, report ; for
on. approaching t;le grave of the paup-.T., he fancied
be 13=d her ejaculate ‘‘,lll.!re- several times, to,
which parish -she was supposed to have belonged,-.--
The grave was, opened., 'and the body was taken up
after it had been interred three days, but it spoke
not, and it was put' into the grave again to be dis-
turbed no more.

Afoot-race, of 300 yards distance, was run yes-
terday, in - the Park, bet,Aceil Lieut. JAMEsON and
Mr. O'HAR:‘, lore 50 guineas.- ,The competitors
walked toget!ier neatly- half the dista-nee, whet, the
Lieutenant wade play; kept the lead, and beat his
opponent by about a length. There was a good deal
of betting on the occasion.
