nude fol. these four cases, a computation is to be made 1
showing the exult balance left, which is to be allotted to
other deserving cases. It is distinctly expressed, that these
appropriations do not establish any legal right on the part
of the applicants, but the Lords of the Treasury include
by observing, that they are acting more consistently than
by applying the surplus to any branch foreign to the ori-
ginal purpose of the fund. This equitable principle pre-
sents a striking, contrast to the notorious appropriation of
part of the fund for the building of Buckingham House ;
and it will now be sees, that had the fund remained un-
touched, more would have been left for this just distribu-
tion among the equitable claimants.

DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE.
This interesting and old-established wager, on which the
farce of The Waterman is founded, took place on Saturday.
It was originally instituted in commemoration of the accession
of George the First, on the Ist of August, 1714, and, after the
decease of the worthy donor, was left under the control of the
Fishmongers' Company. Of late years it has been much mo-
dified, light wager-wherries being substituted for working-
boats. The match was, as usual, with six young men (three
plying above bridge and three below), whose term of appren-
ticeship had expired siuce last August. The following took
theirlplaces at half-past five at London-bridge, as competitors
on the present occasion :
Robert Charles Doobledee ...... Lambeth.
John Robert Roberts Ditto.
John Connaway
Thomas William Hawkins .. Kidney Stairs.
John W. Chatterley
George Curtis Bermond.ey,
They arrived' facing the Swan in the following order :—Haw-
kins first, Doubledee second, Connawav third, Curtis fourth,
Chatterley fifth. It was won by a minute and a half. Roberts
resigned at half-way. The second man received 41. 7s. 6d.,
and the third 21. 18s. 6d. being the interest on 2001. South
