s'opp'ed by a strong band'of robbers,, who, wi:hont

fortunately without injuring any of 'the passengers,

Hamilton and daughter, whom the robbers oblted
to kneel down in the road, declaring they would

; went to bed only to sleep', was c4attented to tie on
a common bedstead; but if a Gentleman of treat

Mr. Garrow. replied, it might not be so in nature,
but they reposed very quietly on the bedstead, even
in the presence of the eagles. The,.canopy to re-.

man chose to lay awake, and gaze at a mock suns in

The plaintiff in this action -sought to recover from;
the defendant, who is a Lottery-office-keeper in
London, the one half' of the proceeds of a ticket in
one-of the late Lotteries, No, 29, the half of- which
ticket the defendant had undertaken to purchase fur
the plaintiff. The ticket of thia'number was drawn
.a prize of 26,0901.; the defeldant failed to ful--
fil his part of the contra6l; by delivering to the
plaintiff the one-half of the ticket, which would
have 'miffed him to I 0,0001. It appeared that the
' plaintiff having dreamt of the tort'unate issue of
Nos. 29 and i I I, frd requested of the defendant to
purchase them for him, which the defendant agreed
to do, but atter paying the usual deposit of ss. for'
such preference, and making frequent inquiries re-
speeting the said numbers, it happened that they
were never procured, and No. 29 urned up a prize
of 20,0001. To recover a compensation ..for this
breach of contract the present action was brought.
The-plaintiff had formerly filed a bill of discovery in
the Court of Chancery, for the 'nu-pose. of ascer-
taining, from-the answer of the defendant himself,
the-real nature of the undertaking by him in regard
to the half of the ticket ill question. In his answer
to this bill, the defendant admitted that he had un-
dertaken'to purchase for the plaintiff the half -of the
ticket in question, and.that he had accordingly used
every endeavour to procure it, but had been disap-'
pointed in consequence of the occurrence of cif
camitances over which he had no conttotil, and
which of course he could not prevent; These
circumstances were enumerated in the .defendant's
answer.

The Bill and Answer in Chancery were put in
and read.

Lord GLLENBOROUGH observed, that the defer,»
dam having undertaken to pnichase .for the plain-
tiff one-half of the ticket pointed out, was bound to
fulfil that undertaking ; and it she plaintiff could
spew that he had from culpable neglect, or even
from inattention, failed to do so, the defendant must
be 'liable. Here, however., it appeared, that the
defendant had used all due diligence to procure the
number in question. but had been disappointed of
obtaining it, by circumstances' which he could not
foresee or prevent.

The plaintiff was accoHingly nunsnited.

SiR JOSHUA •RuyNoLns:,---We mentioned some'
time ago a plan that was in contemplation to do hO-
nour,to the memory of this distinguished Artist,
,by
uniting the most capital of his' works in onelexhibi-
lion, as the great Founder of the British School of
Palming. Sir GEORGE PEAyAIONT; and . seve►at
ot4,ei, well known AmareUrs, , exerted themselves
with laudable zeal on the occasion; bUt,son'accoont
of the difficulty of assembling: the works in ques,
tion, the design is fbr cthe present laid aside--a
circumstance much to be tegretted by the admire's
of genius.

THOMAS FYDELL, Gentleman, who
died on Friday last, in his 7lst year, was one of the
Representatives in Parliament for Boston (his native
place), and was highly and most deservedly re-
speded. He ser'ied the office of' Mayor 'of that
Borough three limes, and fur 23 years discharged
the duties of beputy Recorder. Sir ABRAIIAIkt
HOME, Bart. has already began a canvass to sticceed
him, and has so powerful a suppart in the Borough
as, to leave little doubt of his Sue:Tess.

The EAU METICINALE .CHUSSON has long been:
established in the pob:ic opinion. 'Nothing-tot- we
Qin add in praise of this valuable remedy'ran height.:
•en that good opinion. But as the -constant supply
of an article so necessary to the health and comfort
of our countrymen is of the utmost importance, ,we
congratulate our readers that' this
.desirable obje& is
insured by Mr. 1/...1cr0ik.-01 Poland street ; vthi)., in
addition to the liberal offer, of selling it considerably
lower, for the benefit of those who have been pre-
cluded from purchasing it, oWing.,to
