Tl:is was a family dispute. Miss Fiorella Cohen,
the Plaintiff, iirctight this •A4ion-againsi• the DI.
fendant, who had married her 'sister, to recover' a
au►n of Money, which she had kill _out fat' Reees_
caries on her account. "The Defendant had used this
rady very cruelly ; arid she preferred a 'MITI:4Im,
4iocment against him. In consequence of dial she
was obliged, iv-leave him, and went and lived -With-
the Plainiiff.

Mr. EitKINE said, if ahtisband turned his wife,
out of doors, or -COniltc`ted hiniself towards-her in
such a manner that it was'neers;ary 'for her', to` ?,6
out of his house,:he'ivas -bound for her sustenarion-
and support, -without which she could not exist:"
Any person miy give her credit for necessaries ac
cording to her condition in life.
It appeared in evidence-tliat these parties interz.
married hi /799, andi'altriost immediately afterrhe
began ttinie her, ill. The marriage was against the
consent of her facility ; but the-young Lady had-too,
much -p-U'Wer, "followed . her own inclination.
After she had-,left him, ht put an advertisement in
the Papers, that nobody should-- trust lker';.;ancl
stated, thai• she had • eloped without :any, cause.
And when'she returned.to him, he took care, as her
brother stared, to lick her well, and to maker it im-
possible fdr her to stay. When she left him again,
he-would not give her any of her clothes, and there.:.
fore her sister, the Plaintiff, purchased; clothes for
her.

Mr. GAR,ROViroOrI the part of the Defendant, ob_
served, that this wa's an ANion fo`r goods sold and
delivered, and for money_laid ()tit and expuded,
for her use. .There was .not the igast pretence" for
such a declaration. -
Lord ELLEilnoßouctl said, thata delivery under
such circumstances to the Wile; might be considered
as a delivery to the husband. '.The Plaintiff might
go to a linen-draper and purchase goods, and'sell
them ache wife: The bills stated, that the Plain..
tiff had purchased Such 'and such goods for Mrs.
Brandon. Lord'EL—it4tn-6R6ucH said, that would
mit dn. The Plaintiff must .purchase for herself,
and then sell to her sister. • Plaintiff-nonsuited.'

HAMMOND ~.. 31ILLS.

. This was an aa' ion brought against the Sheriff of
Hants, for permitting a person to escape, by which,
the Plaintiff--hadlost-a debt 0f.631. By laW, when
a Writ was sent to the sheriff for execution, he sent
a Bailiff to execute the process which had been di-
reeled to him. For his security, he took, obliga,
tions from those who chose to enter into such obli.
gat ions for this Bailiff, by which the Sheriff Was.
merely a nominal Defendant; for. if the. Bailiff miss
conduCted .his bail were answerable for
him to the-Sheriff, as the
-Sheriff was responsible to
,the party' who had been damnified. The facts were
all admitted by the Defendant, namely, that a Writ
had been issued and dirdled to the Sheriff to arrest
one Dagnal, who is a shoemaker, and a breeder of
birds at Portsea ; and that the Writ was-delivered
to an-Officer of-the name of Gough -to execute pre,
views to the 7th of April. The Gentlemen of the
Jury would give the Plaintiff such damages as they
thought he had lost by the escape of this man after
he had been arrested by the Officer.
Dagnal was here called, and said, he was a shoe.
maker at Portsea, and remembered Gough coming
to his house. on the 7th of April, to executea war.
rant on him. He asked Dagnal why he had, not
ran away : he said he was determined to bear the
brunt of it. The Officer took Dagnal and his wife
into a back parlour, and said, what a pity it was
that_a Man with such a family of children about
him, and his wife ready to lie-in, should be arrested !
Dagnal asked him if he could not take something
and say he had not seen him ? Gough said his de-
mand for that would be three guineas. -His ,wife said
they had but -one guinea in the world, 'and that they,
must keep one 'half of it, incase any thing happened.
The Officer said, " You must then give me a couple
of pair of tioots.7 When the boots were brought,
" Now," says he, " you must give me a pair of
shoes." Then he began to look up at the ceiling of
the room, where there were some Canary-birds ; said
he; " I must also have a pair of these singing
birds."- Dagnal said they were not his own ; hut
.he wept into another room and, broUght him a pair.
His stock of goods at that time he took to be equal
to tool.. If he had been arrested at that time, he
said he would have gone to jail, instead,of paying
the debt.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, he thought the Plain-
tiff was entitlo to damages equal to the value of
these. Canary-birds, boots, &c.

BURY, JAN. 18.

On.Tlinrsday last a Deer was brought in a cart and
turned: ~aft upon. Hardwick. Heath, near this town
iri•the'presence of a very numerous -.field of Sports,
men,,when.she took dawn the vaJlqy towards Stara.
ford:Bridge, and from thence proceeded in the same
line (exhibiting a fine view of-both dogs and game
all along the, open fields), till she. reached Maute_
boys, where•the hounds took her, with little in_
jury.-
The annals of Fox-hunting (30 not furnish us with.'
details of exploits which can be put in competition
with those perforriled-by that invincible: legion df
=ten couple, which are known as the HeMpsted
Hounds. This little Pack added one more laurel
to its Well-earned fame on Monday se'nnight ; in the
morning of which day, it-was thrown off at Hernp-
stesl.-Wtrd,' where finding immediately, Reynard
rook iht_in in' fine style to Spain's Wood, running
between Finchingfield and Barchield, to We:rthers-
tietd Patk Wood, bearing on the right to Toppes-
field ; when he headed back to Finchingfield Park
W0,0d,: from thence to Finchingfield, to Spain's
WoOt.l, -when he again ran for protedion -to Hemp-
sted Wood, where he was first found ; but being
very pressed by the hounds, found no rest, but
:` ran for ti'endish Hall Woods, and was killed within
mile of-A.shem, on the borders of Cambridgeshire
after a run k•f three hours and twenty minutes, with
only one.oe2\k, ;and that of not more than a minute,
,covering a.dis‘t,ance of at least 41.0 miles. This very
severe chace appears to have been a desperate trial of
wind, strength; and speed, as but six horses out of
4ortY were in ai the death ; one died before he,
leached hOrrie, and another soon after ;. added, to
which', six or elithi horses are .now in such a condi-

SUBSTII:UTES.FOR 014 K
_ffAßli IN TAN-

NI Nb:

THE great deniand and expence of oak bark,, and
the-consequent destruftion of trees,- have long ren-
dered an efficient substitute for bark-in our tanne_
ries an objefl thi highest degree desirable : a
discovery was made,* during the last summer,
M. KLEIN, 'a Member` of 'the Royal Academy of
Berlin, for tanning leather Withmut the assistance of
bark; and he has produced eight new sorts of-leather
thus' prepared, which,are equal or superior to that
made under' the old system. It is Surprising' that
. the experiments on which this discovery is fcunded,
have not been made sooner, as they are exceedingly
easy, and the various methods praetised hY -other
nations, and even by the most savage -ones; pointed
out -the way to them.
Some of the Calmuc Tartars, that iroki-e about to-
WardS the Great Wall of ‘China, tan the skins of
their horses with, sour mare's- milk. In Persia,
"Egypt, and some countries Moldering on Africa,
gOat skins are tanned with the astringent and lign_
minous fruit of the true Acacia, which is gathered
'unripe. In several parts of the' Turkish -Empire
the same skins are. made into Morocco leather by
means of galls. The- green nut of the turpentine
tree, and,
,according to some, even the leaVes, as
-
likewise those of the lentisk tree, serve for the same'
purpose in many parts of the Levant. The smak
or bundles of _the- leaves, and young branches of
surnich, is. very well known to be used in all coun-,
tries for :Making_ of Cordovan leather ; it is also
known, that in several Provinces of Italy, Spain,
and France, there are several plants, which may be
called the Planter Coriari=, Such as, the Arbuttis,
the Celtic, the TamariSk, the Rhamnus, •the Rlnis
&c. used in tanning. In Siveden they use •
the* baik of one '6l- the '362311 species of mountain sal-
low, as also a wild plant known by the name Um.
Ursi. SileSia, a sort of'myrtle,' called Riiisch,
is used in tanning ; and in Germany, the bark :of
the birch acorn 'shells are used with oak' bark.

M. KEA I Dr has tanned two.sorts of calf skin with
leaves of trees only—several others with aquatic
plants—and he has Made very fine Cordovan with-
out sumach. The following are amongst the sub-
ititutes for oak bark, which he has found to answer,
and which have stood the test of numerous experi-
ments

The Vine, . Alder Leaves
Wild Plum ; its bark and un:. Wild Medlar;; leaves, twigs,
ripe fruit • ' - . unripe fruit - Y
Common White Willow; its Wild Rosemary

The following Plants, now for the greater part
considered as weecjs,, may likewise be successfully
used instead of Oak Bark, viz.

Purple-flowered Loosestripe Marsh Horse-Tail -

The Herbs in flower, or ,even. the fluwers alone,
of. the foregoingoo be yse4.
There are doubtless other
,coriaceons plants ap-
plicable to the same purpose ; the presence "of the
tan in them is thus easily ascertained:: Reduce the
plants,to dustrand throw it into a solution, of co-
peras ; or
put some coperas into an infusion or de
coffion of the plants, which has been previously.
filtrated.: the colour produced by, thismixture is
sometimes reddish, or of a dark red, and sometimes
blue or black,- and, the colours may be wholly re.„
moved.by,pouring into it, drop b drop,,a sUfficient.-
quantity of oil,of vitriol.
