,The following Extrad of a Letter addressed w
Mr. Gaokoa PATON, a respetiable Merchant in
the City, from his friend, a passenger on board the

diets a very alarming account of the ravages of the
fever said to have broken out on board that Ship,
and which appeared in a Morning Paper cm Wed.
nesdry last, C,11:11 considerable anxiety for the
fate of the crew and passengers :

" We sailed from Gibraltar Poo on the isth of (Maher,
and arrived at on the zd instant. We were pre.

tar'repurt of our vessel and passengers goes to Government
this peat. The report is a favourable one, as we have been,
and continue, all pettedly well on board."

The rest of the Letter contains several distressing
particulars relative to the progress i,f the fever at
Gibraltar, the substance of which has been already
derailed in this Paper.

id* REPORT.

COII.YRT OF KiNG's 13ri4ctt, NovEMPAR 8.
tHE KING 'V. DAVIS AND AN"TiI

Mr. AnanT moved that the Defendants, F..lltrd
Davis and Henry Davil, who were brought into
Court by the Keeper of Tothill.ftelds Prison, might
be cbar4ed with an inclement which had been re..
moved into tl►is Court by Certiorari. They were
charged accordingly upon an indictment, setting
forth, that they, on the 4th of inne last, and on
divers other days and times, did, for the lucre of
gain, conspire together to cheat and defraud our
Lord the King of the duties payable on certain
Stamps, and to impose upon the Commissioners of
Stamps,hy cementing together several pieces of paper,
and passing them at the Stan►p Office as and for one
piece, whereby they obtained an impression on se.
veral pieces of paper at one and rise same time, on
the payment of one duty, and afterwards separated
the pieces, and uttered them as if they had each
bee►► separately stamped and paid for accordingly.
There were a great variety of other counts,
charging them with similar offences with regard to
other stamps.
To which indiarnent they pleaded " Not Guilty I"
but having no bail in Court, they were of course re.
mended, anti informed that their trial would take
place at the Sittings after this Term.

NEW TRIALS.

LAWRENCE AND OTNER9 go. S/DEBOTTOM.

Mr. Serjeant" Cocitia. moved for a Rule to
chew cause why there should not be a new trial in
this case, which was tried before Mr. Baron GR A.
HAM at the last Assizes for Lancaster. It was an.
aft ton upon a Policy of Insurance, in which the ves.
sel had been insured from the Port of Liverpool to
the Coast of Africa, and from thence to the West
Indies, with a cargo of Slaves, for a market. The
vessel arrived in safety at the Coast of Africa, when
a French ship was discoVered; and this vessel
weighed anchor add gave chace to the French ship
and captured her. Afterwards she completed her
cargo, and proceeded on her voyage to the West In.
dies with her prize, and she was very frequently
obliged to lie to, on account of the Prize not being
able to sail so fast as the vessel which captured her;
so that they were delayed sometimes for six, and
sometimes for right hours, and that for a week or
a fortnight ; that was her condoned practice till
the• Prize foundered at sea. He took the liberty to
say rim this was a deviation ; for whatever right
this vessel had to chace and capture, yet she had no
right to delay her voyage alter the capture. The
words of the Policy were, " chace, capture, and
man"-46 with liberty to cline, capture, and man."
Nuw,. he submitted, that whatever right this ves.
sel had to chace, capture, and man, she Prize—she
had no right to become the Convoy of her Prize.
The Learned Judge thought that the right to
capture implied a right to be afterwards her can.

Rule to spew cause why there should not be a
new Trial granted.

There were two other Cause,: on oilier Policies on
the same vessel, in the saint state, and Rules grant.

This was an ;talon urn a Policy of Insurance on
a Life, trieil before Mr. Baron GR Alf AM at the last
Assizes for L.4neaster, and a Verdia found fa the
Defendant.

Mr. Setjeant Coottf.t. moved for a Rule toiliew
eause why there should nut be a new trial, on the
ground of a misdirection, and of the vertlia being
against the weight of evidence. The single ques-
tion in this cause was, as to the hiabb of the Plain-
tiff's wife at the time of effetting the Poficy of In.
surance, which was in April 1862, and the Lady dittl
on the sth of May following.
On the part of the Plaintiff they produced a Sur.
geun who saw this Lady, iind very attentively exa.
mined her state of health, on the day the Insurance
was ifte.fted, and he thought her not only an healthy
subje(t, but as healthy as any he ever saw in his life,
and about the age of t wenty.t wo : and it was proved
by another witness that she was so.

On the part of the Defendant, it was contended,
that :the Surgeon who examined her was under *
mistake, for that she was in a state of extreme ill.
health, and acidified to drienirnnett4 He proved,
that she very frequently indulged herself to excess
in drinking. Another Gentleman was railed, for
the purpose of corroborating the last Witness, in.
stead of which he undid all the other had said, lot
he said, " that he had attended this Lady on the
22d of November, before, and a considerable time
alter, and his evidence was, that although the hit).
mach was somewhat affeEted, and that she had taken
cop;oterly of spirit:, he considered that her health
Was not thereby materially injured, that he scarcely
thought it necessary to administer any thing, but a
mere regimen for a few days would be sufficient ;
that on the 9th of January she was perfeCtly recu.

(whin, she would do very well without the aid of
medicine ; this he met her some time afterwards,
ar►d that 'site was in:oath:4h and extremely jOCk.
Jar. It was put to him, whether the :firms she
had drank, made it likely that she could go off?
He said, that if she continued to drink &eq.,

GI !SON AND AtiOTH IR.

Mr. GA.ItttOW sdifi, he mJved, by leave of Mr.
Serj-ant RTINNINGTUNi before whom this cause Willi
tried, for a new trial. It was an adtion of trod r fOr
a gelding seized by the Defendant for the purpose
of expositig it to sale to pay toll which the Defend:,

The question to be agitated before the Court was;
whether the horses, of which this was one, were
exempt from the payment of toll at tunpike gates,
under the Mutiny Ad.? This and nine other horse,s
were going to Woolwich, being, as contended by
Colonel Hopkins, the Piaintiff, exempted from the
payment of toll, as being nn His Majesty's service
on their march.—Rule to thew cause waited.

on the ground that this was a verdie.t Aglinst
