and it appearing that Power had borne an exceeding
good. charatter in the Regiment, and was on the
point of being promoted to be a Non-commissioned
Officer, and bad been led to commit the offence by
the other, was the reason of his being saved ; the
Colonel of the Regiment, the Captain of his Com-
pany, and his Serjeant, all appeared upon the trial,
and spoke very favourably of him.

Henry Cock, the-unfortunate young man charged
with forgery, is of the mos: respeaahle family and
connexions. He was bred an Attorney at one of
the first houses in the City. He had an uncle,

Captain STORY, possessed of 70001. in the s per
Cents. besides certain estates, who had promised to .
leave hint very handsomely; Capt. STORy gavehim a
Power of Attorney to receive-theinterest of his money
in the Funds, which Mr. Cock regularly "emitted.
Captain STORY died last August, leaving to his
nephew. xsool. and an estate worth a much larger
sum. A short time ago, the Captain's Executors
met to sell out the 70001. Stock, that they might
pay some legacies ;: when lo ! they found the Steel:
had been all sold out, and Captain. STORY'S name
.forged. Part was sold last July, and part the July
before. Suspicion falling upon Mr. Cock., he was
apprehended while on a hunting party at Cam_
bridge. By his want of care in concealing himself,
his friends hope he is innocent. The Bank Solicitois
carry on the Prosecution.
On Monday last a respeaable tradesman at CFiel-
sea, after dining,. with a friend in Clerkenwell,.
instead of returning to his wife and family, took',a
bed at a xespeetable Hotel in the West end of the
Town; and his friends next day, alarmed by his
absence, advertised him on Wednesday morning in
the Public Papers. On Tuesday morning, when he
rose, he called for a large bison of tea, and- pen,
ink, and paper ; upon which he wrote a full state-
ment of his affairs, addressed to his Attorney, and
put it in his pocket. He stopped in the hotel all
day, and excited surprize by his having nothing to
eat. It was observed that he looked very and
feverish. Next morning (Wednesday), on entering
room, he was found dead in bed, with much
foam coming from his mouth, as if he had died in a
fit, or had been poisoned, At night the body was
conveyed hotne in a hearse to his unhappy wife and
family. •

On.the night of the sth 'of January, the Town
of Fahnouth, in Jamalea, narrowly escaped de-
struaion ; it was dark, and blew fresh, when a pi-
lot on going home about tz, o'clock, discovered a
house to be taking fire ; it was a spirit-shop, to
windward ofthe town where the shatters had been
broken, and a quantity of burning rags thrust
through, which it was supposed would soon commu-
nicate to the spirits; of which there was a large
quantity ; several merchants' stores were close. to
leeward of the' house, and the town so nearly ad-
joining, that half an hour longer would have invol-
ved the whole in flames. One hundred pounds re-
ward has been offered for the discovery of the dia-
bolical incenliatie.s, and detachments of infantry
nightly *patrole the streets, and condua to the
guard-house all persons whom they meet after to
o'clock at night, who do not give a good account of
themselves.

LAW REPORT.

'TODD V. CHRISTIE.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, M&acki 6.

This Was an AEtion on a Policy of Insurance of
tool. upon the ship Fowler, then in the Mediter-
ranean, in the transport service.. This Policy was
t-6 insure the Fowler for six months from all perils
of the seas, captures and seizures excepted ; the
Transport Board indemnified the owners from cap-
tures. and seizures, or any loss resulting therefrom
(provided the Captain made a sufficient
.defence).
This vessel was (during the six months that, she
was so insured) sent as a cartel ship to Marseilles
with prisoners ; on -her return
.she took in sundry
articles of French merchandize. These were found.
on board at Port Mahon in Minorca, upon her be-
ing examined by the Pearl Frigate, and by `a legal
sentence in that Island she was condemned, as being
~:oncerned in an illicit trade with the Kind's Ene-
mes. The Transport Board- would not pay the
loss ,rising from' this seizure, as not being,- within
the rexaning of the indemnity they had given ; and
the D..sfendant resisted it, as being contrary to the
express words of his policy, -excepting-captures and
snzureii. On the part of the Plaintiff it was argued,
that this was not a capture or seizure within the
meaning of the exception ; that it .was in conse-
quence,i,of the barratrous aft of. the Captain, and
tlint• the barratry of the Captain was one of the
eases covered by the ordinary politY- of insurance.
The Defendant's Counsel admitted, that had-the
Vessel been lost from the perils.of the seas, in conse-
quence of the barratry of the C4rain, the' Defendant
would be liable ; but for .a capture- or seizure made
in consequence of the barratry of the Captain, they
contended he was not liable.

The Learned-Judge seemed to consider the loss of
the vessel, under these circumstances, rather as an
effca bf the barratry of the Captain, than as a cap_
-lure or seizure, according to the sense-of the words
in the Policy.—Verdia for the Plaintiff.
