Considering; however, the obvious Movementsof the
Troops in Holland, the poisibility must occur to Us, that in
case the mentioned Differences shonld, against Our wishes',
not be amicably settled, Our German States and Subjeas
may be exposed to a danger, which, if realised, would have.
the most unfortunate Consequences for the whole Country
in general, and every Individual in Particular: We, for this
reason, hold it to be Our most sacred buty to-adopt such
-Means, as will, under the illessing of Cori, prove most
cacious to proted our Faithful German. Slbjeas, whom
DIVINE PROVIDENCE has committed 10 our Care. We
, apply,. thetetbre; to all the Loyal Subjels of Our German
States with that confidence to which the love and affeelion
we bear Our People, and their uninterrupted Loyalty anti
Attachment intitle Us, to make, in case of such danger, all
those Efforts and Sacrifices to which the Duties they owe to
Us, their loving Sovereign, their attach:tent to their Native
Country, their Family Connedions, and every thing dear to
them, already bind them. And We do it. with the. ntore'
confidence, as Our dearly-beloved Son, the Pox]: of CAM
BittaCt, a&uated by the tender afteelion.bg bears Qur Faith-
ful German States and Subjeits, is willing to share every
Danger that may hztall them, and Personally to assist in
every-thing that may promote their Safety and Security. To
be prepared frir every event that may happen, it is for the
present absolutely necessary to know immediately, the eX.-
a4l Number of Our German Subjeda, who, if necessity
calls, can take up Arms for the Defence of their Country.
It is to etna this, that We command all the Magistrates of
Our German States, to lose no Time in giving in complete
1, Lists of such of Our German Subjeas as are fit lig Military
Service, excepting those only 'who serve. Us, and their
. Country in other Capacities : and to Make them iolemnly
promise to come forth, when called upon, and give all the
Assistance in their Power for the Defence of their Country,.

The known Loyalty and Patriotism of Our Beloved Sub-

will be so lust, ai to transgress SO solemn an Obligation, or
to withdraw himself by a Cowardly and TreaCherous
from giving his Assistance to the Defence of,his Country.---
Should, however, against Our better-exileelations such be
found, who,'in time of Danger would desert their Country
and refuse their Aid, such Wretches shall, the Case being
lawfully proved, without hope of Pardon, be deprived of all

whether they are intended to fOrm part of an ar-

The Commissioners, under the Nervy Abase Bill,
were appointed expressly for the purpose of remedy-
ing abuses, which it was contended the Admiralty
and Navy Boards' had not sufficient- authority to
cure. That Board, however, has so -far departed
from the ostensible purport of its Establishment,
that it has been occupied, almost entirely, since its
formatidn, with an inquiry into an !abuse, which
the Nov" Board had already remedied, viz. the
bringing the Premium, received on Government
Bills, at Jamaica, to the Public Account. The
Board have, it is true, ascertained the Balance due
by two Naval Oilicers,'on their account, but one of
these, it appears, isa Bankrupt, in the Fleet Prison;
from 'whom nothing can be recovered ;—and the
other contends that he took the Premium us a, mat.
lee of r!teseriptive Right. The Public, it will lap.

While this Charge was' reading, Mr; GAPAto w,•
the principal Counsel for the Prosecution, addressed' •
the: Court, and signified, that circumstances had
recently occurred, on account of which, it was-the
wish of the Prosecutors, that the Court siould defct
the Trial till next Sessions.

that was ultimately to depend on its determination.
Mr. CAREW assured the Court that, vvhatevee
might have been meritioned in the Newspapers, the '
resolution of the Prosecutors, ' upon which he now.
applied for a delay of the trial, had not been taken
so as to have enabled him to make this application
earlier. On Friday, and particularly on Saturday,
he had held himself in readiness to proceed in the
Prosecution. He , was, certain, that there was no
intention to offend the Court by negligence or dis.

THE KING v,. JOHN RAKg.

Mr, Ettsxt observedit that he wastouniel for
the Crown in this P.roisecution against John. -Rake,
who appeared to be tfn Overseer. of 'the:
_Poor of;
the Parish of 'West Ham, which was a very large•
parish. Their system-was very consonant to-tht
statute of Queen 'FA. ZAB ETH 'the support o
they,,ori.' Instead of paying them so much a-week,
the set -them to work, by which they were not,
merely protected from. want,- but their industey was
kept up, which in the end would deliver them from
-their pcsveriy ; and the Learned Counsel thought, if
thesame system were adopted thioughout England,
alai the Poor kept regularly to work, and the
best use. made of the appropriation of their la,
bout., we should not have such Poor.rates to pay,
-which ir.i terse parishes were so great as 'to make
it necessary for other parishes to contribute to the
support of Poor not their own. These rates were
often ascribed to causes that were erroneous—to our
great luxury, and to war, which was a calamity that
occasionally befel all Countries. But, perhaps, a
good deal was owing to the want of system in re-
gulating the industry of those who were proteded,
The Poor. of this parish:were employed in makitig
mop yarn ; and it was the duty of the Overseer to,
auperiotend them while they were working-of this,
commodity, and after it was finished, to dispose of
'it at the highest price for the benefit of the Parish.
The charge against Mr. Rake C.-vas, that he had dis-
posed of this commodity at a lower price than could
have been procured for it in the market. After a
number of witnesses had been examined on the part
of the Prosecution, it did
,not appear. there was
any foundation for the charge.
Mr. Serjant Barr and Mr. LAW ES were Counsel
for the Defendant, and said they had many respeda-
. ble Witnesses to call, in supporta the conduCt and
char ter of the Defendant,- It appeared that, at
the expiration 'of Ibis office; ,after his accounts had,
heen•investigated and settled,: he had received the
thanks'of the Parish. As this attack had been made
on the character of the Defendant, they wished to
have an opportunity to prove that.
Lend ELL OR OU observed, that it was un-
necessary,.,as.no imputation whatever had been cast
upon his .eharaCter in consequence of what had
paaSe&e Lordshin said, he thought nobody was
to biame in this business. This was a case of mighty
importance. He was by'rio micas disposed to pro.
tat persons in the, situation of the Defendant when
any charge appeared to he at all substantiated.—
' God forbid there should not he the greatest reaili,
ness to listen to complaints .of this nature! But
when they turned out to i)e unfounded, -it was the
duty of Coitus anti Juries to proted such officers,

situation. The Jury found the. Defendant—Not

lICIPWOOD Z. R ICITARI3SON.

The Plaintiff, Mr. ILywood, has several slops
in town, unit sold a muff and tippet, rt quantity of
ritwel ins, and other articles in his way of butanes',
to Mts,..Richartisor, whom: husb,na w 4 then But-
ler to Mr, Beckford, of Font-hill. The amount .of
the articles was 161. tp, The Defendant to!d the
Plaintiff:lie was a married woman, and.desited hint
to call upon her husban4 far paytnem ; which, he
did; but he refused to p‘ya. telling him .his wife
was macs , that a separation had taken place be.
tweet., them; that Le would never get a farthing of
his moileY and that he had heu -:. endeavour to
get hack his goods. The consequence was, that
both Mr. and Mrs. Richardson} were arrested.
The defence set up to this aetion was, that at the
time these goods were furnished, Mr. and Mrs.,
Rielprdsorrwere living apart from each other, and

that she ii id a separate maintenance.
A.respettable witness,,' on the part of the. Plain.
tiff, proved that, subsequent to that time, Mrs.
Richardson.lodged at her house with her children,
and that her'hushand was_there almost every day.
Lard ELLENEcottouca observed, that two, things
must concur, their living apart and a separate main.
tenance. As these two things did not unite in this
case, the single question fur the Jury was, whether'
the articles in. this bill were necessaries for a we.
man of Mrs. Richardson's condition ? If a, than sent
his wife out into the world, he was responsible for
her debts, in tespeel of necessaries. If she eloped
from him, and lived in, a state of adultery, be was
noLanswerable, His Lordship thought the muff
and tippet ought to be taken off the bill. The
Jury were the best judges ,of this matter, and
would say what they thought were necess.uies, .and
give the. Plaintiff a verditt to that amount.
