THE THEATRE.

Drury-Lane._

MR. Fool' appeared again last night at this
Theatre, in the arduous charaEler of Hamlet. He
seems to have attended with laudable modesty to.
the suggestions of public criticism, and was much,
improved in his performance, He was by no. means
so violent in his expression . of particular parts, but,.
had evidently acquired " a temperance that'gave
smoothness'.' to the whole.

In several passages. he. was very, successful, and
excited much applause throughout. It was very
obvious that he had some enemies in the Theatre,
who, at times, attempted to disturb his ading. The
general sentiment, however,. was in his favour, and
effeefually overcame this pitiful hostility.
He played with judgment and feeling, but per.
haps his pauses were somewhat too long ; for though
they mark characteristic refleCtion, yet, if too much
protracted, they are apt to raise ideas of elaborate
study, rather than of intense meditation. So able a
representation of so difficult a character, by so young
and unpractised a performer, demands, however,
the fostering protedion of liberal criticism', rather
than discouraging objections to errors, which vanish
into nothing id a general estimate of his merit.
PACKER-is such a respectable veteran in his pro.
vince, that' we feel a reluctance in saying any thing
adverse to him ; hut he is certainly declined too
much in the vale of years for. the part of the Kill:g
and the objection is stronger when we see so film a
woman as Mrs. PowELL perform the Queen, as it
is difficult to suppose that he should be the object of
her affedion.

Mrs. PowELL played
,the Queen, with dignity,
and a strong expression of the conscious disgrace, and
self-reproach, which become her sirum ion.

Mrs. JORDAN improves in Ophdia,' She gives
the airs with an affecling wildness.

Evans to the Court of Denmark.

Llll7 REPORT.

SE RI EAN TS' INN HALL; Nov. 33.

THE KIWG 41. EA.TERIrt* AND,/vi:rA.LEANE.

The Tw.ehie judges of England met; and, about
seven o'clock, proceeded to hear the l'orther Argu-
ment of Counsel, in this Case.
Mr. MARRYAT proceeded tlporl. his Argument for
the CroWn, and in answer to those which had been
already urged for the Defendants,. before their Lord.
ships in the Exchequer. Chamber. He first rook up
the ground-of the Juriscliftion of the Court of Ad_
miralty, train the Statute of .henry Vhf. whicti
created it, dowin to—the .last Stature which was
enaded upon the subjea, and contended that the
Jurisdiaion of the Court did extend, as well to the
cases of the two Defendants, as it was acknowleged
to be to that of the Captain, who, was executed.—
fie maintained, that the two Defendants, Easterby
and Macfarlane, were to be considered in law'as
Principals in the aft of destroying the ship Adven-
ture ; and, if so, there could be no doubt the
jorisdidionof the Court. extended to them as well
as to the. Captain. Or supposing they were to he
considered, (what he denied they could be consi-
dered in point of Law,) as Accessaries, yet still
they were Accessaries before the fat}, and as such
liable to the same tittles of trial as the Principal.—
He contended they were, in this case, as much
Principals as if they had construaed a Machine,
and put it in motion, ond by which afterwards
ship was destroyed.—He illustrated this doarine
uy a variety of observations and application to
Afts, and then went over all the cases, which he
said appeared to have a bearing on this question,
both as to the jurisdiaion of the Court in which.
the 'Defendants were tried, and that of Principal
and Aectssary, and contended that the Crown was
entitled to the judgment of their Lordships.
Mr. ERSKINE, after prefacing the abhorrence he
felt at the offence, of which no doubt the Defendants
Were in fact guilty, anabhorrence which was inferior
only to that of extending the Law in order to reach
their guilt, and 'which he knew the Court would
never do, but would decide,this case, notwithstanding
its enormity, like every other case, precisely upon
the.grounds ofLaw,.and upon no other ; proceeded
to argue ;he case in behalf of the Defendant Easter-
s by. He began with an objection which he submit-
'ted to_ be conclusive in favour of Easterby, namely,
that he waS:; indicted as the Owner of the ship Ad-
venture, Whereas, in point of fact, he was not the
Owner of that ship at the time, of committing
the offence ; that as the Law now stands, he cannot
be said to be such Owner ; 'that a Bill of Sale is the
foundation of Ownership in a ship ; that there was
no Bill of Sale to Easterby, subsequent to a Bill of
Sale which,had been duly registered to M'Farimc.
So that subsequent ..to that sale, so duly registered,
ho property in that ship past ,to the Defendant
Easterby.!

He then took up the question of Jurisdiction .of
the Court of ACAniralty, and traced its history from
its origin downwards, and contended that no Enad-
ment in. any Statute reached the.case of these two
persons, so as to render them amenable to the juris-
diction of the Court of Admiralty. He went also
over the cases whicli had been decided in ancient
ti ales and maintained they bore cat liia assumption,
that the Admiralty, Court had no jurisdidion in the
case of these two persons upon the fads, as they ap-
peared in evidence, &c. He concluded by observ-
ing, it was the glory of this Country to be govern-
ed by known Laws, which would turn neither to
the right nor to the left to answer th purposes. of
any particular case, but were • always uniform .in
their Rules, by which we had, in our Jurisprudence,
a Certainty togovern us,whichwas unknown to any
other-State. Every Man in England was to be tried
by a known Law, and according to the known
Rules of such Law, or he could not be tried at all.
This was the principle which guides us in this Coun-
try, anti it was- i principle which had elevated this
Country higher than any other. on the face of civil
existence in this world, ancient or modern..

Mr. Serjeant Br S.T then addressed the Judges, on
the part of the Defendant, M.'Farlane, and contend-
ed also, much at large; that frdin the language of
the A& of Parliainent, tvhich immediately governs
this Case, the Party, must either be Owner, or
Muster, or Commander of the Ship,. before he can
come under the Provisions of the AA for sinking,
burning, or destroying such Ship ; and he must do
one of these ads himself, that is to say, sink, burn,
or destroy the. Ship, before he is subjea to the pro-
visions .of this .Stature; for he contended that the
Ad of Parliament, which completely governed the
Case, does not extend to those who may procure the
Ship to be sunk, burnt, or destroyed; and this was the
Case of these Defendants. He contended also that
all the Cases agree that the Accessary is to be tried
where he is accessary, and the Felon to be tried where
.he iy Ali-don. That therefore the Captain, who was
tried before the Court .of Admiralty, was tried
where 'alone he could by Law, be tried, but that
the other two, Easterby and M'Farlane, ought to
be tried where they were Accessaries, and that was
within the jurisdktion. of a Court of Law, by a Jury
of the County, and not by the Court of Admiralty,.
which had. no jurisdiction over any thing that was
done within the County. _ _

We do not state this as a report.of the able argu_
ments of these Learned Gentlemen, for that would
exceed both our time and space; but merely as an
impel-left sketch 'of the heads of the btisiness, of
which we understand.. there now remains nothing
but the. decision of the judges, which will be -com-
municated at some. &Inn ralry Session.

SMITH IRELAND.

The Plaintiff is a linen-draper, and the Defendant
had served. him in the charaEter of shopman, but was
now g(?pi to
,serve Plaintiff's brother, in the
.same, line alion was brought
:for what remained due to the Plaintiff upon a ba..

lance of accounts between Km 4n3 -rjefenciani
including certain stuns ofmoney. which the Defend-
ant had trusted-some of his master's customers for
what they bought : he had received his master's po_
sitive orders to give no credit to any body but in the
presence of his master. In one case the Defendant
had sold goods to a perfect stranger, .who c ,rne to
the shop; -and whose bill, came- to about 51. he said
he never gave a check upon his Banker for lesS thati-
rol. ; sat down and
.drew one on Messrs. Bolderri.
Bankets,in Cornhill, and signed it...1.H. johnsonf
and .then desired he might have the difference, and
the goodS carried to a public-house, near Storey's=
gate. There happened only robe about one pound,
or some such sum in the shop, and the. .stranmi
said it did not signify, he would take it, and call
for the remainder. The goods were accordingly
delivered,. and the change given.
.When the check
was taken to the Banker, it appeared no such man
kept cash_ there, so that this was a-perk& Swindler.
This case .being proved, and the accountsibeing
looked ipto, and, an allowance:made to the Defeo_
dant for One year and three pi:at:ter:4, at the rate of
251. a year, for his services as the, Plaintiff's Shop_
.man, the jury gave the Plaintiff a verdict for the
balance pn the Accounts, which was 231. Bs. 6d. .
