About a year- since the relations of Mr. Crattmer,
conceiving to be of unsound mind, took Out • a
cotuttlission,4 lunacy, and an inquisition being he.K.
the Jury found him a lunatic: While the, proceed-
ings were nending, Mr. Cranmer transferred a, I*,
lance of tii tl. he had in the hands of Messrs. Child,
Dent,, and CO. -Blinkers,-to the-plaintiff, by giving
him a check to that aniount. • The Plaintiff sent the
CheeW to the Bankers,, and-desired the money to be
transferred into his name. The order was complied

. 0144 ,so entered, the Defendants refused, the rela-
tions of Crannier having indemnified them, fin the
uotion should 'be decided. The prisent aftion was
then brought, and the question at issue was, whether
Mr. trantner was of sound mine wign he madEe

A trial of considerable length ensned,.and evidence
was given to prove the insanity 'of 'Mr. Ciannier,

Mr. ttitAßRYAT4 for the Defendapt, said; that in

was bottoMed in astuy.
Lord EL LENRoaonon.--," It is a contra& io which
there are two alternatives, the one legal, the other •
not. A man delivers a note to be discounted for
illegal interest, or to bereturned. May he not have
the legal part of 'his Contrast enforced ? It strikes
me, at present; that the adion may be maintained
for the sound part of the mutt:hal."
Mr. MAnavAT.—". Perhaps'he is hound to per-
form the legal part of the contrast; hut it the con-
sideration be in itself illegal, then he may perform
neither, .fur tbecentrad is bottomed in illegality.—

Lord,ELLENBOROOG,I4I said,.. be thought that the

was either to discount the bill,, or to return it ; he
had not returned the Rill, and the-Plaintiffintist re-

POPISH BRIUP.ItY.--.The celebrated Italian .Histo.
rian GUICCIIARDINI, says, that Pope JULIUS 11,
*itibing to strengthen his opposition to LEwts.XII;
of France, by the alliance of England, sent over a
vessel loaded with maccarottis, vermicellis, sweet ails,
-Florence wine, Parmasan cheeses, .and Dologna
.sausages ; and enjoined the 13ishop• of London to
distribute these. delicacies, together with a great
numberof reliques, indulgencics, and absolutions;
among the most conspicuous gembers of both Houses
of Partkunent. With regard to the spiritual favotirs
of the church_of I.torne, in those days, they were
too common to be much cared for, but to the former
articles the ~.people of England being absolute
strangers, they produced the greatest impression,
the, moment the ship no:iv4o yin the Thames, the
multitude flocked to the shore, and Humbly kneeled
before the Pontifical flug, rending the air with re-
peated,shouts of joy and pious ejaculationl, The
result. was, that ..fut.s the SeCond„accornplished
