On Wednesday a Meeting of the Freeholders of
the County of Kent was held at Maidstone, for the
purpose of nominating the County Representatives.
Sir EDW. DEERING in a sport speech, proposed Sir
EDW. KNATCHBULL ; Sir WM. GEARY was then
nominated by Sir WM. TWISDEN ; and Mr. Fn.-
MER HONYWOOD was nominated by Sir NARBO.
ROUGH D'AETH. Sir ED. KNATCHBULL and Sir
WM. GEARY then addressed the Meeting in short
speeches, but found great difficulty in obtaining a
hearing. Mr. HONYWOOD was absent, from indis-
position. After several vain attempts by Gentlemen
to get a hearing, the shew of hands was demanded in
favour of the respective Candidates, which was de-
clared by the Sheriff to have fallen on Sir WM.
GEARY and Mr. HONYWooD. Sir EDWARD
KNATCHBULL denied that the sheW of hands was
in favour of Sir Wm. GEARY, and demanded a
poll, which was then fixed to commence on Tuesday
next, on Pennenden Heath, after which the Meet..
ing was dissolved.
EssEx.—At the County Meeting holden yester-
day, opposite the Shire-Hall, at Chelmsford, the
Sheriff having opened the business of the day, MoN.
TACO' BuitoorNE, Esq. a,ldressed the Meeting at
considerable length, declaring, that he should abide
by the nomination of the respedable assembly then
present. After a Mr. RUTT, of Witham, and some
other persons had spoken on that side, RALPH
KNIGHT ALLEN, Esq. in a recommendatory speech,
proposed Mr. BURGOYNE to be put in nomination,
which was seconded by Mr. Torr.
BAILEY HEATH, Esq. here offered himself as a
Candidate; but as he was not seconded, his name
was afterwards omitted by the Sheriffin nomination.
Mr. MAJENDIE, after expatiating, in handsome
terms, on the tried public and private merits of Co-
lonel BULLOCK, proposed him to be put in nomi-
nation, as a Gentleman in every respell worthy of
being re-elided to serve the County in Parliament.
He was seconded by Mr. R. BAKER.
Sir H. MILDMAY then came forward, and ob-
served, that before he presumed to recommend a
Candidate to the choke of that meeting, he should
readily be indulged in paying a tribute of gratitude
to the public deserts of an Hon. and respedable
Gentleman, Mr. BRAMSTON, who, contrary to the
wishes of his friends, and he trusted to the County
at large, was about to retire from their service.—
The Hon. Baronet then nominated ELIAa HARVEY,
Esq. as a Candidate every way qualified to fill the
important situation which he now solicited. Mr.
HOUBLON, after an appropriate address, seconded
this Motion.

The Sheriff put the several Candidates in nomi-
nation, after which, he declared the shew of hands
to be in favour of JOHN BULLOCK and ELIAB HAR.
VEY, Esqrs.

Mr. BURGOYNE here addressed the Meeting
again, at the close of which he declared, that he
should rest satisfied with the appearance of numbers
at that meeting, which he saw was not in his favour.
The Eleaion commences on Monday next, at
Chelmsford.

The following Hand-Bill was delivered about
Norwich on Wednesday :

1' To THE NOR FOLK FREEHOLDER s.—The event of the
Eleaion for Norwich having deprived that City, and the
Country in general, of the eminent services of that highly
distinguished Statesman, the Right Hon. WILLIAM WIND-
HAM, the Friends of that Gentleman arc earnestly requested
to consider of the expediency of putting him in nomination
for the County of Norfolk ; and as the Eledion is fixed for
Monday next, it is most anxiously hoped that they will lose
no time in manifesting their zeal for accomplishing this most
important objed.—July 7, tgoa "

Accounts brought by the Royal Admiral from
China inform us, that‘the Missionaries are suffered
to perform their humane work without interruption.
They hasten also to baptize those who retain the
smallest spark of life. One of those pious fathers
acknowledged, that, in Pekin alone, about two
thousand were every year exposed, of whom a
large proportion perished. One of these Mission-
aries, in the name of the rest, has addressed let-
ters of thanks for the kind treatment they expe-
rienced from the Court of Directors of the East
India Company.

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, TULY 7.

SS ITINGS BEFORE LORD ELLENBOR-OUGH T-

MINS r ER-HALL.

MR. HOVELL moved for leave to compound a
penalty on the Post Horse Duty Ad, on the pay-
ment of lA. s and Mr. MARYA'r was instructed to
consent on the part of the Informer.

Lord ELLENBOROi/GEI asked if there was the
certificate of the Attorney General, of his consent
on behalf of the Crown ?

Mr. HovELL said, they had not that certificate
at present, but that the Rule should not be drawn
up without producing such consent on the part of
theßAttornw General.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that not only was
the rule not to be drawn up, but it was nor pro_
nounced without such certificate. The motion was
therefore refused.

A motion was afterwards made for leave to com-
pound the penalties on certain cases of usury, by
consent of the Prosecutor, on payment of half the
fine to the King and a certain sum to the Informer,
besides costs to be allowed, as between Attor-
ney and Client : " But, no," said Lord ELL EN.
BOROUGH, " this is an attempt to play a trick
upon the Court, by which the party intends to
gain, for his compliance, a larger sum than he
affetis to take." And therefore the Learned Gen-
tleman who moved it, proposed to strike out of
the motion, " Costs as Attorney and Client," and
insert instead of them, the words " Costs as be-
tween Party and Party;" a difference which is
well understood in the Profession, and which is,
in some cases, very considerable in amount. Upon
which the Court assented.

In an anion_ for Criminal Conversation which
now stands for trial, Mr. GIBBS said, a Witness
to be examined was going to Ireland after the next
Sittings, for which reason he hoped his Lordship
would appoint a day for its trial.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, he could not, at
present name the day on which it should be tried,
because that might derange the order of the Com-
mon Jury Causes, but it should be tried in the
course of the next Sittings. His Lordship then
took occasion to observe, that owing to the pro-
ceedings of the City of London now going on at
Guildhall, it had 'been deemed expedient that there
should be no trials of Causes there on Friday—and
therefore his Lordship desired Gentlemen at the
Bar, Attornies . and other persons concerned, to be
apprized, that lie should sit in Westminster to-
morrow and on Friday ; whether he should sit in
London on Saturday would depend on circumstances
with which he was, at present, not acquainted.

JOHNSON V. SHEDDON.

This was an ACtion upon a Policy of Insurance,
in which the question was, upon what scale of
calculation a partial Loss was, to be computed ?,
point on which there has long been a great differ-
ence of opinion among the Gentlemen at Lloyd's.
Mr. Oliphant and Mr. Vaux, two very eminent
persons in commercial affairs in the City, differed
upon this subjeCt, and gave their evidence upon
two Trials before Special Jtiries in Guildhall, when
Verdias were found for the Plaintiffs upon the
Scale of Calculation adopted by Mr. Oliphant,
agreeably to the opinion of Lord KE NYON.
A Motion was made for a new trial, upon the
ground that this calculation was erroneous: The
case has been before the Court for a twelvemonth,
and now Mr. Justice LAWRENCE delivered the opi-
nion of Mr. Justice .GRost, who, from indisposi-
tionAwas prevented from attending, and his own,
(my Lord Chief Justice being Counsel in the cause,
took no sharei) they concurred in thinking that
the principle on which Mr. Oliphant made his cal-
culation, was etroneous. in this case, for which
reason the Court ordered a new trial.

This deci3ion governed the case of Johnson and
Thompson, in which a new trial was therefore; also,
ordered.

THURSDAY, JULY 8.

MAY AND WIFE V. MITCHEL.

This was an ation brought for damages from the
Defendant for an injury sustained by the Plaintiff's
wife by reason of a carriage 'being overturned in
the street over some rubbish, which was there de-
posited by order of the Defendant, who is a Baker,
living near Broad St. Giles's, and who was then re-
pairing his oven.
It appeared in evidence, that the Plaintiff is the
footman, and his wife the confidential servant of a
Lady of the name of Middleton. That as they
were coming home from the play about .twelve at
night, they came to this place where was this rub..
bish without any light, fence, or any thing to se-
cure, or to warn passengers against danger, and
the Plaintiff's wife was bruised in the arm, and
being in an indifferent habit of body, having had
a paralytic stroke, she was ill for some time. A
Surgeon attended her, and his bill, on that specific
account, was 51., which the Defendant paid, as
he did also the Coachmaker's, which was 41. t 65.61,
for the damage done to the carriage of Mrs. Mid-
dleton.

The Defendant contended' by his plea, that the
Plaintiff had accepted the 51. paid to the Surgeon,
as a compensation for the damages sustained in this
case ; but that was negatived by the Witnesses
called on behalf of the Plaintiff, and no Witnesses
called on the part of the Defendant ; but Mr. GAR_
Row addressed the Jury, admitting the right of
aftion in point of law, but submitted that the
damages in this case amounted really to nothing,
inasmuch as the Surgeon's bill was paid, and the
Plaintiff's wife was continued in the house of Mrs.
Middleton, and provided in the manner she had
been for many years.

Lord ELLENBOR'OUGII'S address to the Jury was
very interesting to the Public at large, and particu_
larly to the inhabitants of this Metropolis ; and still
more to those who cause impediments in the street,
and therefore we detail it.—His Lordship said,
" That this was an Aftion brought to obtain com.
pensation in damages, for an injury sustained by
the Plaintiff's wife by means of the Defendant's
