acceptance, in writing, to a certain Bill of Ekchariere,
purporting to have been; Writteri by thelate Duke
of Leinster, with intent to defrawl lijs Grace's 1,14,s
and executors. 'The fael of uttering the bill, to the
amount of wool. was Clearly lr med,. but the
6oner's defence Tendered the-case very doubtflil.• He
spoke upwards of two-hours, entered into.the his—
tory of his life, .;anci stated, that, in consequence of
a malicious report circulated among his creditors, he
eluded them, •and came to town with about 50001.;
that he fell into company with a man of the name
of 911dleyi who introduced him to a.person whom
he called the Duke of Leinster ; that. (the Prisoner)
wishing to deposit his money in safe hands, lent it
to the suppbsed, Duke, and took four bills for the
amount ; that -when the •first• became due he was
distressed for money, and as he was unacquainted
with the executors of the real Duke, who had in
' the interim died, he attempted to negotiate thb bill.
The Jury consulted'about two hours-and a halt, and

A disorder, nearly resembling the Plague of Tur-
key in its symptoms and 'mortality, late!, broke rout'
at Oujoin, the Capital of Scindea, and, is stated to
have carried off 70,000 persons in the course of a
few days. The principal inhabitants fled frotn'the
city on the first alarm, and the Troops at length re-
fused,to perform the duties •of the Garrison, and
marched into the country, whither it is feared they
may have carried the distemper. At the date, 116w-
ever, of the last accounesTrom Bombay, it waS
derstood, that the Fever confined its ravages to•Ou-
join and its in vicinage'.
A few days since an Inquisition was taken at Slap
ton,. near King's-bridge, Devon, on two youths, the
one aged eight, and the other twelve years, appren-
tices to a farmer there. The father having bought
some sulphur and cream of'tartar to cure some pint-
ples,-administered it for two days, bur on the third
the maid inadvtortently took a paper containing
arsenic, which lay on the same shelf, and gave the
contents to three children—the two elder of whom
died in consequence. ' •
