derable bets were depending.

A GREAT UNDERTAKING.
Mr. Ralph Abercromby's match from Hyde Park to the
35 mile stone and back, on the Bath road yesterday, was the
occasion of much sporting specilation. He started at two
o'clock in the morning, for the nominal sum of a hundred sove-
reigns, to perform the task in fifteen hours, and for an extra
bet of fifty sovereigns lie engagel to do the first twenty miles
in two hours and forty minutes, which he performed with great
ease. He passed through Maidenhead, 26 miles, at half-past
five o'clock, and he reached the 35 mile stone, four miles east-
ward of Reading, at eight o'clock. He went from thence in a
gig to Sonning, a mile oil', and halted ; he started back with
eight hours to do the 35 miles. He won the match easy, after
having staid an hour at Hounslow, and the time to spare was
28 minutes.

The THIRD GRAND MATCH at TENNIS
Was played, on Wednesday last, at the Royal Tennis Court,
James-street, between Mr. Cox, Proprietor with Monsieur
Louis, against Monsieur Marchuco and Barre, which, after a
long and spirited contest, was decided in favour of the former.
The Court was crowded by all the Noblemen and Gentlemen
amateurs in town.

We extract the following from the Morning
Chronicle of yesterday. If the allegations of the
writer are correct, the case certai►►ly seems to be
one that requires investigation. The author of
the letter ought, in our opinion, from a sense of
duty to the public, to come boldly forward and
avow himself, and to substantiate his statement,
if he can, by giving the names of all the parties
concerned in the affair :---
" CASE OF LUNACY.

" A Jury, consisting of fourteen persons, lately sat at the
Cross Keys, Great Surrey-street, when the following circum.
stances took place :—The object of their deliberation was a
young woman, who represented herself as the wife of A. Brouet,
residing in a northern county, and whom she had been in the
habit of claiming as her husband for a considerable time. On
her examination she answered every-question put to her with
such apparent sanity and collectedness, that strong doubts of
her being deranged appeared to arise in the minds of some of
the Jury, and so powerful was this impression on one of them,
that when the paper was handed to him fur his signature that
was to declare her insane, he respectfully declined to sign it,
having very great scruples of conscience on the case. Upon
his refusal to follow some of the Jurymen in signing the ver-
dict, one of the commissioners told him they could do without
him, and that he had better leave the room ; upon which he
took his hat and withdrew. On inquiry he found that in his
absence his name had been erased from the list of Jurymen,
and that he was not to be allowed the 10s. 6d. usually paid to
persons officiating on these Juries, although he had performed
all the duties of the office, excepting that c: ffiniing the young
woman insane. Perhaps, Sir, some kind friend to public jus-
tice, who may be versed in the law of such cases, will favour the
world with an opinion on this transaction, and which may pro-
bably elicit something that may yet be favourable to this young.
woman, now consigned to a mad-house.

INTELLIGENCE.

tp
COURT 'OF KING'S BENCH—(THIS DAY.)
_THE RING''D.. LORD
.YAILIWROUGH:
The LORD CHIEF ,JusTi,cE delivered judgment
in this case. It was a qqestion respecting some
salt-marshes at the mOuth.of the Humber,• which
the Noble Defendant claimed as belonging to, his
estates. It consisted of several acres ; the
_place
joined the sea, but the sea had receded from it.
This case was tried at the Derby Assizes, when,
from the evidence there adduced, the Jury re-
turned a verdict for the defendant. His Lord-
ship said, the Court was of opinion that such
verdict was justly returned, and therefore it
ought not to be disturbed.—Rule discharged.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT--(Turs DAY.)
JUDGMENT.—Janzes Nicholls came up to claim
his discharge, when he was opposed by. Counsel
and creditors in person. It appeared, on dealing
with his creditors he represented hirns3ll a man
of property, requiring no credit, as hp always
possessed a Grenville, meaning a Lord Grenville
Exchequer Bill, at command. Subsequently,
however, insolvent contracted several debts; and
to one :of his creditors, who had' entered pro-
ceedings upon his demand, the insolvent' thought
proper to put him to vexatious and unnecessary
expences in defending an action.—The CovET,
in passing judgrneitt, observed by the in,-.olNent's
conduct he subjected himself to We Teniandvd,
and therefore the judgment, of the Court was,
that he> should be confined within the walls of
the prison nine months, for putting his creditors
to vexatious and unnecessary expences.
