THE KING ti. HANIItLLY.

'This was a -Motion which the ATTORNEY GENE.
RAL had opened to the Court before, which was,'
that the Defendant should be charged in Execution
of his Sentence, which was, that of Hard Labour on.
board the Hulks, but the Keeper had refused" to
take him, on account of the risk to which he would
'be exposed, if the man escaped—he standing charged
with civil process, to the amount of
'risoner was now in Court.
•Lord'KENvoN asked if the. Prisoner
.had been
brought to this Keeper with a proper Warrant ?
Mr. ERSKINE said, there was no d.i?position in
the Keeper of the Hulks, to resist the execution of
the law, but it did not appear that he had..lieen
called upon according to the forms of law to receive
this person.
Lord KENYON said, it was very immaterial what
. the disposition of this or any other person might
be—in this case the law Must be obeyed. This
-. Prisoner must be committed, to be, sure, in execu-
tion of the Judgment pronounced upon him.
Mr. ERSKINE said, that the Keeper never knew,
until late last night, that there was a proper War-
. rant for receiving this person, but he was now per-
fealy ready to. do it.
Mr. Justice GR.OSE said, that when this matter
was mentioned before, he had desired that the
Keeper might have notice of this Motion, that the
Court might hear what he had, (if any thing) to say
—not that the Court had any doubt what ought
eventually to be done, but they did this ex major;
cautela. The Warrant for the Keeper to take this
man in his charge, was now in Court, and; there-
fore, there was an end of the question. The
Keeper of the Hulks must take charge of him pursu.
ant to his sentence, with all the risks of all the
charges that belonged to his easel be they what
they may.
'The Prisoner was charged in Execution accord-
.. itngly;

Mr. Serjeant VAbottArr moved for leave to file
a Criminal Information against John
.Parkinson,
Esq. a Justice of the Peace for the City of Lincoln,
for what was alledged to be partial and corrupt con.
.chit in his office, as a Magistrate. He stated, from
Affidavit, that there was a great distukba,nce and up_
roar created by a mob, that assembled at` a placeap.
propriated for Divine Worship.—A Mikimg.House
of Dissenters .a
congregation assembled in the usual
manner in the evening, for the purposes of religicui
worship :—a mob was colleded there, and pm-
ceeded to aas of diSturbance to the Meeting.—A
squib was thrown at a woman with a child in her
arms ; her clothes took fire, the flames were with
difficulty extinguished ; the leader of the riot, one
Lewis, and another of the name of Wilkinson, were
taken before the Magistrate. The Gentleman
against whom this Motion was made, who 411 e

evert, dit?ositioh to thWart the Prosecution, Wet
the CoUrt knew was regulated by Statute, and to
which wái attached a severe penalty, a fine of zol.
with other regUlations—this Magistrate, he said,
manifested a disposition to thwart the Prosecution
first, he demanded the licence of the Teacher of the
Meeting—it was produced. He then said, "he
knew those Meetings were held at night very im-
properlki and that they were the cause of these
disturbances." They said they held their meetings
in the night according to custom, and for reasons
of their own, one of which was, that they did nor
like :tq interfere with the service of the Church of
England. This Magistrate, however, took upon
himself to dismisS the complaint:"
Lord KE NY° N.—" When' did -this-- take place ?"-
,• Mr. Serjeant VAuGHA.R.:•',"„(.4, the sth of
November last, my Lord." .

Lord Ketorori.— Here a whole ,Term has
elapsed between your complaint before the Court,
and the cause of it. I think-you -should, be. left to
your common course—go befOre a Grand Jury."
Mr. Serjeant VAtrokiA.N said, that from this sort
of encouragement these rioters,, they had
committed some other ads of excess; and for which
a Bill of Indiament had been found• against them.
--Lord KE NY 0 That-. fortifies .the objedion
to your Motion—you sh6uld go before the Grand
Jury with your Bill of Indidment also."
Motion refused. •

COURT Or-COMMON PLEAS, THt.TRSDAY, LAN:

ROSS V. REDHEAD AND

This was an Anion of Trespass, tried at the laSt
Sittings at Westminster, brought by the PlaintifF,
a Bankrupt, against the Defendants, one being the
Assignee and the other the Messenger under the
Commission. It was alledged on the part of the
Plaintiff, that he having committed a previous an
of Bankruptcy, the Commission .under Which the
Defendants 4ttted was•void.
.It-appeared, however,
that the Plaintiff had, acquiesced in the_ proceedings
under the Commission for a year and a half, and
Lord ALVANLEY was cleatly,of opinion, that the
Bankrupt ought not to be permitted, after that dis-
tance of time, to bring forward evidence to set aside
the Commission, by means ofi a previous ad of
Bankruptcy.-=The Plaintiff, was therefore non-
suited., .•- ,:;-

Yr. serjeant REstliow..:iiidred to set aside the
Nonsuit, but .
Lord ALVANLEI deprecated .Inch kind of Aftions,
observing, that .the RotAscluenccx; would be incalcu_
lably injurious to the. Public, if a Bankrupt, , 'after
:acquiescing-in the' 'proceedirigs under a Commission
against him for several years, ts.v as then
lowed
,to sel.aside thatComMission,. by bringiig
forward any of his servants to prove that he had pre-
viously been denied to.asreditor, or that-he • had
committed any aft..of Bankruptcy ,prior to.that on
which the Commission
.was founded:. Oiher
Judges concurring in this opinion,
. , ..„
Ihe,Rule was refused..
'ir ," •.,
BpinETT it,. FuNi3LANQPE, , .

This vas an Atthan -tried at .the. last Sittings. at
Guildhall, brought; for damages sustained by the
PlaiatiC in consequence: of the :Defendant!s not
completing his contract for the purchase. of a quan-:
tity of Gum- which he•had bought at a public :sale,
and which it was alledged he, had agreed to takes
with all its faults. It was, alledged on the .part of
the Defendant that the Gum was of a. very inferior
quality to that which it .was held out to be, and,
that from the manner in which it was packed and:
conveyed to the warehouse Where it remained, for
public inspetion, there appeared an imposition on
the part of the Plaintiff, some Gum of a prime qua-
lity being put at top in each cask, whilst the infe-
rior sort was beneath.
. .

The Jury, however, found a Verdia -for the
Plaintiff.

Mr—Serjeant SHErtinto noW.moved for a new
Trial, on the ground that the verdict was agairtt
evidence.--Rule to chew cause granted:

BURNELL,Esca. c'. kNt.

This was a 'Special Aftion. brought against the
Sheriff of Sosex, for not levying under an execu-
tion against the diens of the Marquis of Donegal,
and for making a false return, he having returned
nulla bona.. On the trial of this cause at the last
Sittings at Westminster, it appeared that the Plain-
tiff having made an arrangement with the Marquis,
had instrueted the Officer to ael..in pursuance of that
arrangement ; and Lord ALVANLEY was of opinion,
that the Plaintiff had thereby exonerated the She-
riff froth all responribility.
The Jury found a verdict for the Defendant.

Mr. S;tjeant BEST now moved for a new Trial,
contending that the evidence went in favour of the
Plaintiff.

Lord ALVANLEY expressed the same opinion he
had given upon the Trial, but gave his consent, as
did the other Judges, to a Rule to show cause being
grantee.

EVANS Ei". BENSON.

Mr. Berieant BEST sheaved cause against a Rule
obtained by Mr.,Serjeant SHEPHERD, to discharge
the Defendant, out of the custody of the Warden of
the Fleet.

An Affidavit of Debt had been made by the Plain-
tiff in Ireland, before Lord Noltnuity, Lord Chief
Justice of the Court •of Common Pleas there, for the
purpose of arresting the Defendant. The latter
having come over to England,. the Plaintiff verified
the signature of Lord NoRkuRY, by. Affidavit, be-
fore the Filazer of t. 4 Goprt,of Common Pleas here,_
and then sued *tit process,: and arrested the De-
fendant. It•appearing, libwever, that the Filazer
had no authority to lale-.:su,ch an Affidavit, which
could _only, be made beforea. Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas here,
The Rule was made absolute.

The late. storms, ' and particularly the sudden
thaws, have -;ione great damage to our canal's. The
trade of the Uxbridge Canal has been stopped for
this week past ; the frost having burst two of their
culverts, and materially damaged their banks in
several places.

EXTRACT• OF A LETTER FROM A PAS-IENGTR -ONT
BOARD THE HENRY DUNDAS INDIANIAN DATED
•ST. AUGUSTINE'S BAY, :INIADAbACAR., AVG. 10,
8.31.-

*After quitting, the Cape wessufered a great deal
-of delay, by calms and Unfavourable winds ; and Weft
at last obliged', on account .of the sickness abo,ird, and
other circumstances," to come in here, where we have
been aboirta week. We aiein the same bay where the
leinteron people.we.re 49-z ; and the India Corn..
*pany, having in return fot .the civilities shewn by
the ICIN of `BAB A.;4 to the on that occasion,
Made him considerable' presents,' we have been
"treated by the natiyes with great hoSpitality. We
have laid in. a stock of fresh prbvisiOns, hav-e larded
and refreshed our sick, and are now ready to put to
sea in prosecution of our voyage for, Ceylon. A
Bengal ship Vtith, rice,", for England, was driven in
herein distress, and'l take the opportunity of writ-
ing to yOu.,
.•. •'

-The natures ave been very civil. They
brought us, all, kinds of live stock, fruits, Bre.
which .we „paid 'for, in rnusquets, pistols, old
iron, knives, buttmsi_ haqketchiefs, and other
things. They do not seem to know the- value
of rpoa2ey: ()fled the 9fficers, pitched his marquee
on shote ; it was, exeretriely di:licult for us to prevent
pilfering.: They are verrexpert in thieving. The
tea-kettle was taken off;the fire when the' 'servants
were pre:ienr, andihe bed covers and pillows were
'sthlen from a servant's bed whilche was asleep in it ;
but they are rather_ tronblesorne than dangerous.
Most d'fm the 'assume magnificent names. Besides
King George, we we hive the Prince of Wales, the
Duke 'of Yorks Piinee Augustus, the
Duke of Marlborough, and a great many others.
These Gr;Mcfees do not batter themselves, but their
41tOple bring us presents, while they attend to see that
adequate presents are madein returns The women are
by no means disagreeable, and by no meansi shy.
The Grandees even .wili•sell, or rather press you to
take their wives and daughters; the women seem to
have no influence in. their society. The men are
athletic and. well made; of a bri&ht 'colour, and
have acquired enough of broken 1~ rench and Eng..
lish La make themselves understood.

.1 We expel to reach Ceylon in a month from
this day." •

krepott is just now circulated that the Poe E has,
by a brief, suppressed ,the 'A rchbishopric of *Cologne.
Yesterday a poor -Foreigner was brought before
the LOR.D MAYOR at the Mansion-house, charged
by a Custom-house-officer with having a greater
quantity of raw coffee in his possession than is al..
lowed by Mt of Parliament. A Gentleman told
his Lordship that he saw the Officer seize the coffee
within the City, and was suffering the man to go
away without any further •inquiry, when he told
him to take him before his Lordship, to know how
he came by the coffee.
The Custom-house-officer produced his diploma,
and said he had orders, to seize 'any goods without
a permit, and to let the person go upon his giiing
his address.

The. LORD MAYOR said, such condud was cer-
tainly produaive of bad consequences,.as thieves
poSsessed of stolen goods might escape justice, and
the property never cone to light.—This poor Foi.:
reigner not knowing English, • had it explained to
his Lordship that he, was a French .Emigrant in
great distress, and had given half a crown for this
coffee, and that he did not know the'Law.—Upon
which his Lordship not 'only gave him his liberty,
but also, gave him half a .Crown, the sum he had
paid for the coffee ; and ordered it to remain in the
Marshal's Office till they could ascertain who it
belongs to.
The total number of deaths in the city and sat).
tubs of Glasgow lasts, year was 1918, being 16S
short of the number in 1800. This great decrease
is ascribed to the want of spirituous liquors, which
used to'be drunk by the middling and lower ranks
in such excess, that the instances of persons (lying
from that cause were numerous.

Two fellows were yesterday committed for trial.
from Bow-street, on a charge of stealing a gold,
watch in the shop-of Mr. Graham, on the loth of
December. One of the Prisoners was brought into
the Office yesterday for another offence, when Mrs.
Graham seeing him, identified his person.
On Wednesday evening some of the Bow-street
Officers apprehended a man near the Bricklayers'
Arms, on the Kent Road, on suspicion of having
16en concerned in several footpad to4eries the
unties of Kent and Surrey.
