IR..BARRETT's BAL LOOY.

THE-disappointment which •the Public net with
13.,,n Thursday, at Greenwich, in not seeing Mr.
15ARRETT ascend in hi# English Balloon; seemed
Thin to excite in them a greater. curiosity to behold
Thin yesterday, and we really believer that the as-
3emblage of people from London and the neighbour..
Ing Villages, was greater than on the preceding day.
At three o'clock the Balloon was brought to the
ground; and was placed in a proper situatiori, on a
platform similar to that used at Vauxhall Gardens
by Mr. GAgNiRTN, V) receive the gas. At first,
I.'o great progress was made in filling it, which put
the l' palace, 'fir the moment, in bad spirits; but
In a short time it was observed to swell more ta-
Pidly, which changed the face of affairs, thotigh
it Was visible, if it ascended at all in the course of
the evening, that it must beat a late hour.
About tour o'clock Mr. and Mrs. GAat”arK,
,and two friends, came into the grounds. The
French Aeronaut viewed with great attention the .
talloon, while filling, as well as the casks and
Other utensils used on the occasion.

'At five o'clock fresh vitriol was put in the.casks.,
which Captain SOWDEN thought not so good as the
trst which was used, and apprehensions again began
to be entertained of the ascension not taking place
during the evening. The mob now began to be
rather violent, and several. of the Artillery were
calldd on the ground, to enforce good order but
notwithstanding_thi‘ _precaution, tile pnpulace over_
powered the men who kept the door, and near a
hundred gained admittance. It was here observed,
that the gas made its escape at the valve, to prevent
whiPh, Mr. GARNERIN, advised the superintendants
to wet it ; which had' the effea of making it fit
more close.

At 7 o'clock the mob shewed again a disposition
to riot, and were guilty of the most shameful con_
dui}, in breaking down the trees,
.and taking away
the fruit by force; for the grounds now contained
'li least five thousand people, very .few of whom
d paid for admission, and they had entirely the
liPper hand of the Constables and Artillery-men,
and at lengthevery thing was left to ;heir mercy.
fight o'clock,began to approach, and notwirh-
standing every pains had been taken to inflate the
halt
for five hours, it did not appear more than
. filled; but the clamour was getting so outrage_
sr'' that it Was -determined to try it in its present
I:te,. as a general opinion prevailed that no time
liatever would be sufficient to render- it complete,
tls the different materials which formed the gas had
t)t been_ properly proportioned. It was, howeVer,
Afterwards found that two holes had been cut in the
,alloon, near to the place where the tubes were fix-
`'n, which of itself was sufficient to account for its
got filling. In this state did Mr. BARRETT, Capt.
s
• °IA/DEN, and Mr. MADOX, (a brewer of Tooley_
ttreet), got into the Car, to try whether the Bal-
°°^ would ascend with theta, but it was found that
4t would not rise from the ground. Mr. MADOX
CilPt• SOWDEN got out; and left Mr. BARRETT
21 make a trial by himself, but even then it would
not answer the purpose.
No other alternative was now left but to send the
Vlloon up by itself, as there was no doubt of its
a-'eending in that way. The Car was then taken away,
i" --e4;14-"-i-Gralle put-its-its place, tog-edit-1r with
fl,tgs ; the cords were let go, and a more ma..
tc ascension was never witnessed. It took a
rapid perpendicular direction, the atmosphere was
ii3teeedingly clear, and it was observed at a greater
veight than any we ever remember to have seen.
tom the rime of its ascension.' to that of disappear-
,flig was about ten minutes, and the people were so
eased with the sight while it lasted, that they for-

FRAUDS IN THE COAL-TRADE.

PHILLIPS 2V. NEWELL.

MR. GARROW;. Counsel for the Plaintiff, ad-
dressing the Jury; said, it appeared to hint the'
case they were aboiit to try, was as iirportant
a one as could possibly excite their.,.attention.—
It was an Aeti,mi, , the objed of which wag ro
..00esty
introduce, if possible, a little common honesty
into the Coal-Trade; by the mode of carry-
ing on, which,. the Public wel-e pillaged tO an
extent beyond calculation; 'lt was brought to re-
cover the sum of tool..the penalty given Aa•
of Parliament for the non-performance of a con-
tract. It might be imagined that, without any Ad
.of Parliament, if a man bought a commodity of
another, the rules of honesty would be sufficient
to ensure its delivery to him ; but those rules had
unfortunately been found deficient, and therefore
several useful Ads of Parliament had been made
on the subjea of the Coal-Trade, In order that-
the Jury might perfealy understand the Case, it
was necessary he should explain how the Coal-
Trade was carried on. There were two ways by
which Coals were sold—the one was by Wharf
Measure, in that case the-Coals were measured by
the legal bushel, under the direaion of sworn Me-
-ters, and certain penahies attached upon the dis-
covery of a deficiency in the quantity. The other
was by buying and selling by Pool Measure.' This
had of late become a very favourite mode of pur-
chasing Coals, on account of the Dealers having
held out to the Public that it was attended with
greater advantages than the other—they. pretend.:
ed that the purchaser had the advantage of what.
was called the Ingrain,. which was half a chaldron
in every ten. A more dreadful source of impo-
sition than that of selling by Pool Measure could
not be imagined—the frauds it gave rise to were
astonishing. This Adion had been instituted by
the Coal-Meters, in hopes of beating down those
frauds. The person who was to be the witness was
a Mr. Phillips, a Drug.grinder, who, in the course
'of his business, consumed a considerable quantity
of Coals. He, understood that the Defendant, be-
sides being a Coal-Merchant, was a Glass-dealer:
The Plaintiff had bought eight)',Chaldrons of Coals,
and suspthed, when be saw theZ:buik, that the de-
livery was not a fair one. He'had them re-mea-
sured ; but as he had a good opinion ssf the De-
fendant, and did not wish to expose him, he did
not employ the regUlar Meter—he found an enor-
mous .and scandalouS deficiency. Mr. Phillips
complained, and in consequence of his Icomplaine
he received a letter from the Defendant, stating,
that he was sorry for the. mistake, which had hap-
pened without his knowledge, but he had now some
excellent Coals, which he was_sure would suit him,
and if he would allow him to send in ten chal-
drons, he would make him ample amends. The
Plaintiff consented. For his ten chaldrons he would
be intitled to ten chaldroris and a half; that is, one
hundred and twenity-iix sacks, - or three hundred
and eighty-eight bushels, a quantity Which, would
require four waggons to convey. The Counsel said,
he would not have a Verdia unless he satisfied
the Jury the deficiency which was afterwards
found, was no mistake on the part of the Defend-
ant. He desired them to turn the. subjea in their
minds, and consider what might be the deficien-
cy produced by a mere mistake, especially when
the Dealer, referring to a former one, had pro-
mis'ed to make amends by giving rather more
instead of less—Perhaps they Would think a chal_
dron a good deal : he would telt them what the
fad was—The Plaintiff ought to have had 378
bushels ; he had but three hundred athere was ho
less a deficiency than seventy-eight bushels, or
two chaldrons and two sacks out of ten chaldrons'
and a half. Could men be prevented from Commit-
ting such lucrative frauds by the mere payment of
a penalty of tool. when they happened to be found •
out ? The Plaintiff communicated to the Defend-
ant that he had had the Coals re.measured, upon
which the Defendant said that the. ship had only
brought a cargo .of
_eight chaldrons, and that he
intended to send the remainder , upon the arrival
of another vessel. Such a pretext was impossible
to be-true ; by the laws of the trade, the cham-
bers or divisions of the lighters in which the Coals
were shot from the ship's side, contained five chal-
drons at the least; and, by the same laws, when
Coals were 'sold by Pool Measure, the Seller was
bound to deliver 'to the. Buyer the contents of each
chamber precisely as he had received them; be
could not take a part out of one, and a part out of
another ; the pretence therefore,_ that the delivery
was only intended to be eight chaldrons, and that
the remainder was io be made good on the arrival
of another ship, was entirely an after-thought. If
the Defendant had not meditated a fraud, why
had he employed four waggons, when three would
have been sufficient ? besides, the documents ac-
companying the delivery were not foe eight'chal-
drons, but for tin chaldrons and a half. This cir-
cumstance alone was a sufficiept prOof of fraud, and
warranted him in the expeaation, that upon proof
of so infamous: a case, the jury would take a little
of the Defendant's fraudulent gains out of his
pocket, and endeavour, by the essemple of their
Verdi t, to inoculate the trade with a little honesty
and regard to fair dealing'.
Mr. Philips was then called, who said he lived
in the Borough, was a Livigator, or Drug-grinder,
by business. He consumed a great quantity of
coals, which he bought of the Defendant, who also
dealt with him in turn for articles sent to the Edin-
burgh Glass Company, for whom Defendant was
an Agent. Mr. Philips then described his writing
to Defendant in the_ month of December last, ex-
pressing his suspicions ; also ths:. subsequent corre-
spondence between and Defendant, which ended in
the order for ten chaidron of Coals, Pool Measure.
The Letters were put in and readin.evidence,
Mr. Phillips then described the number of sacks
sent in to have been 126 ; that they came in four
waggons, and that four tickets were delivered to
him, of the number of sacks brought by each wag.
gon, three az's, and one so. He had the Coals re-
measured. in consequence of his former suspicions.
On cross.examioation, he said, there was a run-
ning account betWicn him aha. Mr. Newell, and

. ,
that when he settled With Mr: su4:epient to the
above trarisadion,' he w.ts; only charged for eight
chaldrOns and a hAf. Mr. Newell had said, when

• -
Witness stated to him the deficiency; that lie Mean
to send iii the remainder':

. .
;Mr. .ginr, the Deputy Coal-meter, swore to
seeing' the coals te-measured by a WornMeteri.and
-that there was a deficiency 01,78 bushels. He
added, there was no. necessity to put the quantity'
of coals sent in i 26 sacks,. or in four waggas;
unlesS a deception was meant.

Mr. Se-rjearit .811::EPtivito made an able speech
in defence. The deficieney,besaidi was enormotis;
and if the Defendant_ rneut .to eheat Mr. Phillips,
'he was unquestionably a fit Ole& of legal punish_
meat, The 'que§tion to try was, id 'Wilelifer Mr.
Newell, knortuilig there were only eight chaldrons and
a half', meant to charge tell and a half?" In consi-
dering that the Jury would look to the situation of
the Defendant ; he was the Agent of the Edinburgh
Glass Company, who . were accustomed to. ballast
their vessels,. coming to the Port of Lundoni with
coals, which the 'Defendant afterwards disposed Of
upon his own account. Mr. Newell, knowing he
was to receive a quantity of coals by the Jane,
Mitchell, wrote to Mr. Philips' that he could supply
him with ten chaldrons .of good coals, which would'
make amends for any former deficiency, adding that
mistakes would sometimes occtir„ when they were
little thought of, or intended. Mr. Newell sup-
posed that the ship he had named contained that
quantity, and desired them all to be sent, which
was accordingly done ; but he
,had not sent• them in
as ten chaldrons, nor had he Charged•more than eight
and a half. The enormous deficiency, he said, was
a strong presumption in favour of his Client, as,
after what had previously. passed between the De-
fendant and Mr. NeW'ell, mine but a Mad Man would
have repeated a fraud (if there was any), in such
an increased way ; and would go a great way to
prove the Defendant's intention of making up the
deficiency from the next Ship that should arriVe,--
He trusted the Jury would consider the Defendant
to have been aduated by no fraudulent intentions,
and that the case was such a one as might have 'hap-
pened to any other man, situated as the Defendant
was, and who was nit tosbe considered like a regu-
lar Coal-merchant, doing his own businesS, and who
knew the contents of his barges laying at his own
wharf. The Defendant, on di, contrary, conceived
he had a specific: quantity ,Coming, by a specific
vessel, which quantity he:dinderstood to be ten
chaldrons; and in furtherance of his contra& .de-
sired them to be all sent to Mr. Philips. It how_
ever turned out to be only eight chaldrons and .a half,
and 'he had charged no more to Mr. Philips. Before,
howevq, Mr. Newell could explain to Mr.'Phi-
lips.the reason for sending him in short,' or befbre
he could complete his order, as he intended to 'do,
the coals were re-measured, and-the Defendant. taxed
with the commission of a fraud: He should only add,
that when a Defendant was accused Of an offence so
highly penal, ,it was incumbent on the Plaintiff to
make his accusation clear, without a shadow of
doubt, which he would contend was not the case
with the present Aetion. On the contrary, no one
could think otherwise, titan that Mr. Newell
meant to. make up the deficiency ; and as Mr.
Newell had hitherto borne the chara&er of an ho-
nourable man, he trusted the Jury would consider
well how they blasted a man's reputation, and fixed
on him a penalty of tool. uptrn such slender proofs
ascthose produced in the Aftion before tlrem:
Thomas Hinton, a Sea Coal-iVleter, swore, that
lie measured eight chaldrons and thre,e quarters of
coals from the Jane, Mitchell ; and that, they were
so.entered at the Ctistom-houSe.

A Lighterman, at Flower's Wharf, conveyed
the coals on shore, which were 'carted away to Mr.
Phillips.
Henry Philip, a Land Coal-Meter, saw the coals
landed. It 'was his duty to ask, if the coals were
to be measuled, or whether they were "fill-trewayt,"
meaning coali sold by Pool Measure. He asked the
question, And was told they were " )471-aquays."
On examination he said; if he had seen rz6 sacks
in four waggons, he should have supposed there
were ten chaldrons and a half:,

Charles Chinnety Coal-merchant, said,the quan-
tity on board a ship could not. be ascertained till
the ship was cleared out—the quantity of sacks, and
in Casting 'away coals sold by PoorMeaSure, was
very diverse,' and could convey no precise idekto,a
buyer of the quantity sent." •
On his Cross-examination .by Mr. GAltliON, he
said, that the routine of business in so diverse a
trade, was so promiscuous; that he could not tell
what quantity a buyer 'was to .expel when. The saw
zz6 sacks at his door ; • there were first and second
buyers and consumers. He admitted, the buyer of
five, ten; fifteen, or twenty chaldron of coal, was
entitled to the Ingrain, which would be half a dial-
dron in the fen ; 'but that. in all intermediate 'quan-
tities the consumer.was generally allowed a rebate
in money. .

Mr. GIERROW, in reply,' said, the, Public were
miserably pillaged between the different buyers in
this diverse trade, and wOndered not that it was
'wrapped up in mystery. :The. first buyer was the
Ship buyer, and was an animal that kept up the
price in hard seasons,' that caused monopoly, and
oppressed the Public; the other buyer was the
man who served the con3untier, and 'measured to
.him whatever his conscience would-perMit. The
Learned Counsel then took a review . of the
Defendant's case, which he , contended had not re-
moved the Plaintiff a step from that verdk he claim-
ed. The Learned Serjeant had agreed, that if De,
fendant was guilty,.no punishment was too severe for
him ; he would not mince the matter, but say he de-
served to be hanged ; -and he would add, that the
Judge in the Crown Court, he would be bound to say,
would pass sentence of death on. less offenders.---
He did -not, therefore, ask a ,verdid, unless .the
criminality of the Defendant wad; so confirmed,. that
the-Jury were convinced, they_lFould not lay down
in their beds with a free conscience, if they did not
find against' hirri. It was upon such grounds alone
he -asked a verdid. Mr. GARRoW next adverted to
an observation of Serjeant SHEPHERD'S, " that the
fraud was so enormous, that it was a presumption
in favour oldie Defendant." He said, if-such a
principle was to be.recognized, the rogues in grain
would benefit indeed, as they _had only occasion to
sin by wholesale, to lay it on with a high hand,

to chat most .eno,rmotisly; in • order:: to l e the leF3
susk)e•Aeci; and to give Air; Serjeane SHE

Jury tb determine which of the two Staterrledts they.
had heard was best entitled. to their belief. On the
one hand it was stated that the 'Defendant had un..'
sdertaken to deliver a Specille. quantity of Coals;
namely, fed Chaldrons; and had only sent eigHe
chaldrons, but with all the external appearances; as
to the naMbet of sacks and waggons, and V7ith all
the aecoMpatiyii-ig documents, as to the MeterS
Tickets, of the quantity he had corittaded to sell:
On the contrary it ‘Va.> said, that it was extremely
improbable rhe Defendant should have sent the Coals;
knowing there was such a deficiency, unless he had
intended to send the, remainder at a future periodi;
It was certainly remarkable that the Defendant,
hefote he 'made the offer of selling a certain quan-
tity, which he described to have arrived in a par-
ticular vessel, did notsuse the precaution of .Seeing
the cargo„ The. Jury ought to be Well satisfied of
an intentional Fraud before they pronounced a Ver..,

would besides have the effed of irrevocably ruining

FRAUD ON THE UNDERWRITERS,

day morning the ,Brig was bt-Ought
considerably above, low-water mark, and. several
Gentlemen' 'appOiritect by the Underitrtitets to ex-
amine her, have discovered that a locker in the

on shore, made his escape. The Supercargii, and one of
the Owners,who came down here, since the aecideti:,
have both been-apprehended and sent to Lewes gaol.
The Gentlemen who: have been sent Clown. by the
UnderwriterS do not know the sum for which she
was itisured,- but it is, said to be near ten thousand
pounds, 'and the value of the cargo is nut supposed
to amount to half that sum. It also appears thal
fresh insurances were made so recen't/y as last Sa-
turday: The brig .is sterns to have-
been intended for a privateer, and appears•not to
the least injured in any part except where the holes
and breaches in question have been made. The
Underwriters have

excited suspicion concerning this scene of iillany
was, the very calm state of the weather at the time
the Brig.went down; and her having been observed
early in the morning in sh6aler w.:ter, than when
she first Made the signal of distress.

The new Splendid Spedacle brought out at the
Royal Circus, named Gonsalvo de Cordova, or
the Conquest of Grenada, is 2cknowledged to he
one of the most splendid Spedacles that has ever
met the public eye ; and this is accompanied with
incidents of the strongest impression, and Music,
composed by Reeve, of the finest compotition and
effect. The strongly interesting charader of Zo-
raida, is most admirably supported by Mrs. Wy-
brow ; that of Inis is rendered particularly pleasing
by Mrs, Roffey ; and Miss Adams, in Zora, gains
much applause. The part of Gonsalvo has the
greatest justice dope to it by Helme ; that of Pedro
is.at once highly interesting and entertaining in the
hands of Montgomery. Boabdil cannot he finer
represented than by Burrows, whose singing is also
greatly admired. Amongst the splendor of the
Scenery, the entrance of Zora on a Camel, the
Boarding a Moorish Xebeck, the Alhambra, the
Field of Combat, the Undermined Prison, and par-
ticulaily the last Scene, the Explosion of the Cas-
Ale of the Four Towers, afford the greatest plea_
sure ; and we must particularly notice the Combat
between Laura .and Alrrranzor, by Betterton and
Roberts, which is acknowledged to. stand, unri.

-(4-"d'he number of the Marriages of the Inhabitants of
fleretordshire may be judged from the Baptisms to be more
than aiipears id the Sunithary of the County. The Baptisms
appearing to be as r-36 of the Population, the Marriages must
be r-1-4.4; even if no omissions are supposed in the Baptisms.
In the years 1760, 1770, i7BO, and 1790, the Comparison of
the Baptisms and Marriages indicates no unusual fecundity.

During a War, the Marriages at Portsmouth and. Gosport

Gosport from the Calculatiou, the Population of Hampshire
is as 127. 7 to one Marriage. ,

seem so in the Table. Subtracting the Hundred of Brixton
