lotte-str;eet,, in the month of January last, and that
:the D:lendant had, on the * 7.01 i of March follow.
ing, taken_his first floor with a garret; and the joint
oecupition of two 'kitchens and an area ; that the
Defendant contriving to injure the 131aintiff, had'e.k.s.
eluded hiM from the joint possesSion of the front:
kitchenand atea, in which Was a ukiter-tub: Th 6
Plaintif; in consequence of such exeldsion, had been
deprived of the enjoyment of so necessary an article
as that of water. This case he should ProVe by, a re.
spedable witness:
Miss. Mary HathiltOn;. the Plaintiff's sister, said,
the Defendant had agreed from the beginning, to
have only -the. joint tenancy of the two ki!cheres ;
that there vvasa cistern in the back kitchen; but it
never', contained any Water-; that there were two
keys to the front area, Ahat the Defendant's. set_
''t>an.t borrowed her brothers and never returned it;
that the Defendant had -then denied his servants

Mr: Aoitti. stated the ease on the part of the De-
fendant; With a considerable. degree of wit and.hti-
mdur. His Learned Friend, he said; itt- his de-
scription of Dr:•Count Piper, had employed no in.,
considerable share of fancy and embellishMent.;
he had represented him its having Diplomas from
all the learned Universities in Europe ; the Jury
could not but supposes he had been educated itt
Paris, at Edinburgh, or at Leyden, or some. other
celebrated place, devoted. to Medical Science.--
NO-Suchi.thiog—his-own Hand-Bill, in which he
announced his having assumed the Healing Art;
stated; that after ten• ye:trs' travel thronghout

to his
.own Country,,, 'tp cure
,e,very -disorder
that Man or Woman could possibly -,be aftliaed
with ; his studies among-the Hottentots had
.en-
largedltis mind,- and- capacitated' hini for affording
relief in all complaints, from a ctnnnion corn on the
toe to the last stages of t:le most mortikl.distethpers.
The Defendant's a Gentlenian, whose_ literary ac-
quirements. obtained:hit* a genteel livelihood, ,had
taken :the Dotaar's first floor; at the rent Of q.al. a
years oilfurnished ; he was to have not a joint te.„
rtancy in the two kitchens; but the exclusive right
to the 'front 'ones with the area: ,He took, this
lodging under , the mistaken idea the Plaintiff was
a respeetable.Professor;- and not a man selling Quack

avoid all intercourse with such a chary ter; and,had
accordingly .oechided him, froni every part iirhia
premises; and; among the rest, the front' k.?t6hen

done every thing in his power to annoy the Defer—.
dant and hiS.Wife: In the first place, it was his
uniform praaice..tO insult every persOn who called
upon the Defendant: .
Several VCiitne4ies besides the Defendant's, ser-
irants proved, in the most distinft manner, that the
Doa.or had plenty
.of Water in his own'baCk kit-
chen till he ctit it off with a view to this suit ; that

tively 'objeded '.tcf:the Count,or his ,sigter entering
the front kitchen; and threatened even to discard
their. Own servant if' she either entered the Dodoes
kitchen; -or -Stir.:eiedtiird- to liiteifere with their's.
The:savant VII-rdiwAs stated to have borrowed the
area' key Was- confronted with Miss -Hamilton, and

enterprizes of tfte late War;—hut we feel a peculiar pride
in
the Honour obtained by a Native of our County.
We shOit lditave taken the earliest opportunity of express-
ing, our sense of your highly meritorious conduct, but were
apprehensive that ail Address of this nature (at the-eve of an
Ll:ftlion) might be construed as giving you an advantage of
the other Candidates, which we know is far from your wish.
We sincerely and earnestly hope that a long contintrance of
the hlessings of Veace may obviate the necessity .of -again
calling forth your military -talents ; but we have no doubt, if
unfortunately the contrary should be the case, they will be
exerted, as tliey always have been, to the advantage of your
King and Country.
Resolved,: That tiro foregoing Address, together with Sir
Eyre's Quote's Answer, be puolisltid three, times in the
Evening Post, and-ill THE SUN.
