SHERIFFS' couRT.—(THIS DAY

CRIM. CON.-SHAIVE V. PRESCOTT.
This was a writ of inquiry of damages, judgment having
gone by default.

Mr. WATSON stated the case, by which it appeared that
the plaintiff (Captain Shawe) had separated from his wife,
allowing her 3001. a year, who took a cottage at Bexley
Heath, where the defendant resided, and where the inti-
macy took place.
Mrs. Piper, the maternal aunt of the plaintiff, spoke in
warm terms of the plaintiff's kindness to his wife, and that
he visited her at the cottage. She was a lady of great
beauty and of accomplished manners. This was the whole
of the evidence.

The Learned Under-Sheriff charged the Jury, who,
after a short consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff.
Damages, 100/.

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, FRB. 4.—The weakness of the
Bourse of London of Monday caused a slight fall in our prices.
The news of the adoption of the project of the law on the forti-
fications, and the re-action produced by this vote on the Bourse
of Paris, contributed towards the fall of our prices. Ardoin's
are lower, done at 22 1-16; Coupons, 19 13-16.

(From the Calcutta Papers.)
LIKUTRNANT LOVEDAY. —When Major Boscawen's force,
about 1,500 men, reached Dadur, which they found in the
occupation of the enemy, and 300 of our sepoys besieged in
their entrenchments, an attack was immediately commenced,
and the Brahoes dispersed directly and fled to the mountain
passes. On the field the body of Lieutenant Loveday sins dis-
covered with the head nearly severed from the body, which was
still warm ; and by the statement of his servant, who had re-
mained with him the whole of his captivity, it would appear
that the guard had joined the fugitives at the first onset of the
British force, but they subsequently returned and cut him
down : the body was not mutilated, but was in an emaciated
state from fever.
