DEVON ASSIZES.

AT the Crown Bar at the Castle of F..;:eter, the
trial of Robert. Harris on Friday last for a misde-
meanor, for sending a threitening letter to Sir
Francis Builer, Bart. charging him ith an infa-
mous crime, for the purpose of extorting money,
excited very considerable interest and attention.

Mr. Gi ass, on behalf of the prosecution, opened
the case with his usual precision, and with extraor_
dinary. animation and eloquence. He -stated the
Prisoner at the Bar to have been in the service of
Sir Francis, as a groom, for some years ; that he
had always been treated with kindness by his mas-
ter ; that in the month of September last, whilst
Sir Francis was on a visit with a family in this
neighbourhood, he observed the Prisoner riding one
of his horses after dinner, in a very improper man-
ner, and apparently in a state of intoxication ; that
upon his reprimanding him for so doing, the prisoner
used very unbecoming language towards him,
which induced Sir Francis to give him warning to
quit his service : that soon after he received a letter
signed by the prisoner, informing him that he was
determined to be provided for, and that unless a
provision was immediately-made for him, he was
resolved to expose him to his Lady and to the
world ; that soon afterwards he called upon the
Rev. J. Chilcott, a very respelable Clergyman, re-
siding near the house of Sir Francis, informed him
of hiS resolution, and of the horrible nature'of his
pretensions, and declared he had never communi-•
cated the affair to any one, not even to his master.
" Here," exclaimed Mr. GIBBS, " you see before
you a wretch, the basest of his kind, who, whilst
meditating the infliction of a pang more terrible
than that of death, a blow more unsparing than the
assassin's, against the fame, and perhaps the life, of
a man of rank and honour in society, and he too his
own indulgent master, against the happiness and
repose of his most' irtuous and accomplished Lady,
and against all the pride, and all the hopes, of a
rising young family, had not recoMedion sufficient
to serve his 'diabolic purpose for a few fleeting
hours, or God bereaved him of his memory, from
the great intent of dragging.so foul a delinquent be:
the bar of his avenging justice."

He next stated, upon Sir Francis's applying for
a warrant to apprehend the Prisoner, that he ab.
sconded, but a few days afterwards presented him-
self to Mr. Chilcott, and in great agitation con-
fessed that his charges were all false, implored him
to use his interest with Sir Francis to forgive him ;
that the dread of poverty impelled him to the mea-
sure; and that if he could but be pardoned by his
Mas;er, his conscieve would be at rest, and he
would leave the Country for ever ; which, con-
fession, hciwever, Mr. Grans said, he afterwards
denied ever having made.
The principal farts were fully proved in the
clearest manner by Mr. Chilcott. The Prisoner's
Counsel declined making any observation, and call-
ed no witnesses. The Jury, without waiting for
any address from the Judge, immediately returned
the Prisoner Guilty, to the entire satisfaaion of a
very crowded Court.

Mr. Justice LE BxANc passed, the sentence of
the law upon the Prisoner, in a very awful and im-
pressive speech, by Which- he adjudged him to be
transported beyond the seas for the period of seven
years.

At Leicester Assites last week, an Ejeelment
Cause was tried of considerable importance to the
Parties, and not.
_altogether uninteresting to the
Public, inasmuch' as it determines that cohabiting
together as man and wife does not in all cases con-
stitute the presumption of marriage, or make the
children of persons so cohabiting legitimate ail.
dren. The case was shortly this :—ln the year
1 747 Luke Abbott, of Castle Donington, purchased
an estate of his eldest brother, who was entitled to

it by virtue of an old settlement made in the year:
1718; to bar the entails of which a fine was levied,
but it was not levied effeCtually :—Abbott, however,
supposing himself possessed of power, to dispose, of
this estate, in 1799 made his Will, and gave it equally
amongst his three illegitimate children : The Defen-
dant, his eldest son, taking advantage of the defea,
occasioned by the fine not being properly levied,
endeavoured to keep possession.of the(whole estate,
and deprive his Brother and Sister, the Plaintiffs in
the cause, of the patrimony their. Father intended

them. The cause was tried before `a Special Jury,
of which Sir Edmund Cradock Hartopp was fore-
man ; and so perfealy satisfied were the Jury, that
they found a Verdi} for the Plaintiffs, before
the Defendant had examined half his witnesses, to
the entire satisfadion of a crowded Court. •

On Monday morning a Seaman's wife, of the
Unicorn frigate, at Plymouth, fell overboard. The
jolly-boat's crew immediately picked her up, And
all , means were used for her recovery, but with-
out effed. The body was brought ashore at the.
.Pier, and the Coroner having taken an inquest on
the body; a verdia was returned of Found Drowned.

To Mr. THOMAS TAYLOR, Surgeon, No. 9, New
. Bridge-street, London.

DEAR SAR
T T is with the most heartfelt satisfaftion that I
1. address you on the incomparable excellence of your in-
valuable Medicine, LEAKE's PATENT PILLS. ' In the
Spring of this year I had the misfortune to contrail a Vette-.
real Complaint, attended with the most alarming and dan-
gerous- symptoms; insomuch, that I have been confined
to my room for a whole week. together, and not able to stir
out of it ; I had no rest night nor day, and suffered the most
excruciating pain 'and torment, and what was still worse,
my eyes grew weak and dim, so that 1 could scarce discern
any objed, if ever so close tome, and expecied nothing less
than the total loss of my sight.—From a stout, healthy,
and rather corpulent man, I became a mere shadow, and an
objed of pity and.compassion. My friends had all
.given me
over, anel thought my recove7• impossible. In this dreadful
state, and expeding every minute to be my last in this
world; I was fortunately recommended by a neighbour to
try your Medicine; but having tried all medical, aid to no
purpose, and being at an enormous expence, it was some time
before 1 could be prevailed on to take [then; at last I sent
for six boxes, and befeie 1 had taken them all, I found con-
siderable benefit ; my pains gradually decreased, and my eye-
sight grew better, and, to the great surprize and astoniShL
ment of all my friends (after taking three boxes more), my
health and strength was perfeetly restored, and I .aM now
(thanks to my God and your invaluable Medicines) as well
and hearty as ever I was in my life.
You are at full liberty to publish this in any manner
you think prover, for the benefit of society at large, and
which I should have sent you sooner, but was fearful of a
relapse.- I remain, with the utmost gratitude,
Dear Sir, your obliged humble Servant, It. L. LEIGH,
High-street, Birmingham, Nov. 1, 1799. _
