rot, EX DEI4. SMITH V. EDWARDS.

Yr. ERSKINE moved to set aside a judgment in
eje6tment in this cause, which he stated Ind been
obtained by 'a gross and infamous fraud. The
Defendant had a lease for twenty-one years of the
Premises in question, situate at East Gritistead, in,
the County/of Sussex. • •The Lessor of the Plaintiff,.
who had purchased the estate ;from a Mr.. Moore,.
was very desirous of getting possession of ft twin;
cumbered with the lease to
.the Defelidant,
he used every persuasion to induce him to part,
with his beneficial interest, but without efr'ea:—•
Ile then went to the Defendant, and told_ him ,it
was necessary to the confirmation of his title, that
he should -set his mark to a certain instrument.
The Defendant, who was a simple, illiterate mai.,
and suspecting no treachery, consented, and a paper
was presented to him, which he readily signed—it
turned out to be a 'Warrant of Attorney, to confess
a Judgment in' Ejeament ; and shortly after it was
signed, the Judgment was entered up, a writ of pos-
session sued out, and the Defendant ousted of his
term.—The Court granted a rule to spew cause.

MOD2RN ANsAzoNs.-Some years since, a Gen-
tlcruanin the City, extensively engaged in West
" Indian commerce, was involved in bankruptcy by a
Misplaced-confidence—he retired info the neighbour_
hood of. Bradford with two daughters,: and shortly
.afier sunk beneath the pressure of his misfortunes,
leaying them wholly ,without provision. The for-
tiler affluence of their father had ptevented their ac-
" qUiringa knowledge of any profession by which to •
e:tr'n a -.respetlable' maintenance—they could not
work, and were ashamed to beg. In this dilemma,
their enterprise - rose superior to considerations of
'tear, and prompted the hold expedient of assuming
the dress and charat!"ter of men, and entering into
the Navy. They- went to Portsmouth, and, by
their address, obtained a situation on the quarter-
' deck of a Troop-ship bound to the West Indies.—
They Were. engaged in the' redudion of Curacoa,
&c. and served with credit in two or three aftions
in those seas, till one of them was wounded by ,a-
splinter in the side, when her'sex being discovered,
she was discharged, and came to England-about six
weeks since.—The other sister was, at this period,
sinking under the fever which has proved so .fatal
to.suropeans in the. West Indies, and had been
sent ashore at Dominica ; there, under an im-
pression of approaching death, she disclosed to one
of the Officers of the ship, her sex. The discovery
gave tenderness to the esteem he had before enter-
tained for his young friend: his attentions contri-
buted to her corivaleScence. In short, she recovered,
• and they were married, and are now on their return
to Europe, in possession of the means to render
-happy the remainder of their days.
