Mr. ER Kt NE, tot the Plailltlifs, said, they
Were considerable wh,alesale grocers in this city ;
tltc loaint was a retail grreer at Netkcastle-
dpon.Tyee. This Aetion was brought fir 'good,
a,,ld and delivered. The. Defendant's wife, oi.
26th Daetnber last, wrote a letter, giving an-order
to the KtintitiS to sliip a certAffeltlaniily of sugar.,
A portion of ir, to the value of 801. was embarked
On hoard the ship Bountipd,-at the Three Cranes
Wharf; but the letter of advice to the Delet,dant
stated, That the goods. were on board the Hertford,
one of the vessels intrhe Fame trade, The Beuntijid
was lost on' the coast of •Nordlomberland, and the
sugars were lost with her. U-der these circum.
stances, the Plairitiff's brought this afflon, on the
tround that the delivery on tilt, wharf %vat the deli.
very to the Ddetidant ; and from -that moment he
vias jiable..-:-The'witnesses having withdrawn,
Mr..:6Attaow; • for the Defentlawt, argued, that
the false infotination regarding the ship was ct n.
elusive in this eause ; it was the neglect of the
Plaintiffs, in not giving, the rroper infortnation.—
If the Defendant insured the ,goods on :hoard the
Nertford, he could not have recovered. -from the
Underwritert4; and if no .insurance were effreted,
the accident either of an existing policy, or done
ar all, could, in no respeets, alter the right. of the

Lord ELLENUOMOVG/1..--,-" It cues appear ro
me, that the only question 13y if the property pass-
ed at the time of.the delivery of the goods at the
wharf'??„ _ _

« GARROW.---" With great deference to my
Lora, it seims to me 4 that the dealing, on the pert
of the,Tlaintiff, required the completion of several
detain& !flatlet's. First,' packing 'the goods, then
c.mveying them .to the vessel, shipping them, and
ytstly, giOng intelligence of the ship in which they
were embarked."

Lord ELLINDOROUGII.^*" I have.airpsdy given
my opinion; bur 1 have ntrohjeainn to save- the
Point, if you wish to have Argued next term."

CANTERREIRY, DEC. Ifa

Twn.rnerii naffed Wm . r 6,7111 ,and .Ellett,
the one a shoemaker,' who has lately worked in this
city, the other a duffer, were on:Sum-lay, night ap.
prehendedi and :yestertil ,y committed to. Weargate
goal for further examinaftm, by the. Mayor of this
city, for knoWingly uttering, and haying, in .their
possession, cero,in talse.and counterleir,tlyllars.,,
It aiipeared that these men had, in. the course of
Sunday,_pordiased various little articles of grocery.
ke...at several litteksters' shops, intthi,t.city,,,and,liad
also frequented stitne,ol',the
generally gi,ving: in. payment tine of the clollaris in
question, and receiving rhe Surplus of

evening of the same day,: Mr. Clements, the land:
lord, first suspeard them, and fallowing them,
their leaving, his lio.pse, they,wesre t4..en into cus-
tody while yvai:ing fur the night coach to convey
them to Leindon, On searchingithem,,be;weeii so
and 3o counterfeit-dollays were:round ,on their per.
Sims, also a .seven-shillipg piece, a quantity of
crowns, shillings, and sixpences,, all. co4nterieits,
beside a considerable quantity, of Bank of England
and -good 'money, and two handkerchiefs.
'whielt contained a curious mixture of loaves of
bread; sugar, butter, cake, &c, which hatjf been ob.
lained.as before described.
The counterfeits are well 'executed to pass gene-,
rally, but will not bear, a close ittpeoi,)l,l,. :fltcy
appear to be copper, plated, and are of course lighter
than the real silver dollars ; they are :bright and
shining, but more like tin or pewter
,thannilrer.—
When rung they, have a dull, flatsound; -but, their
baseness is most perceptible in the execution, anti
when compared with a true dollar, the. head of the
King ;will be found much smaller, anti the nose more
prominent and larger; atter, the letter X in the
word IIEX. the dot. in thus placed X. Instead of
being placed at the.bbttorn of the letter; it is aisq
much fuller
.atid larger. On the opposite side, the
head oflritatinia is very,defe,Ctive, the features be.
ing indistin6l,,- arid the whole upper part of the fi.
•gure scarcely raked from the,surfaCe; the radiated
circle on the .margin on either side, is broad and
coarsely executed, and the ornam it of the rim very
unequally obliterated, like some of the .).; ,n 1 dol.
Jars, being made in that manner the better to pro.
Mote the deception.

men's clothes, gave orders for an examination ;
when the recruit proved to he a young .yom.in.
After being reprimanded, she was dismissed. She.

that she and hrr Indowers Were, enatrltsl to:4otore
peace to the ,ufi.ring world, by their eXtraordinary
gift from I.lca,en. A German who has been
(Ineptly taken to WhitechapA for being an
unlicensed Preacher, made responses to- the Lady
Prophetess, saying th,;t it was :oitt of the power of
the, m:)st, wiley meta to hurt
.the least hair of the
head of this extraohlinary woman. The Peace
Officers went to the spot, when the congrevti,:n
dispersed, but took care to convey her Laqsliip
to a place of safety befOte the Officers could procure
Warrants to secure her. . They say, they are the
only pepple capable of opposing 13024ApARTR ; and
it is extraordinary to remark, that these,.illiterate
and misled persons have gained. a great number of
converts to their ridiculous tin trine.
Yesterday,. at MarlbOrough.streetl • EEzabetb
lanes, a gipsey fortune.teiler, was charged with ob.,
taining money anti goods by false pretences. It ap..
peared by thelitateinenr ut Anne Lacey, a servant,
inflano et

,that this woman _who carries.
laces as a ~.cloak, to her profession, accosted her on
Friday, as she was at work in the area of her master's
house, and. informed her, that if, she would suffer
her to come into the kitchen she would do her a
service. She was admitted into the house,, and,
after quoting many passages from the Scripture, she
requested that she. Might disclose future events to
the Prosecutrix ; bur,,in order to, do it with effea,
she must place. in her possession, as a' charm, 21. 6d.
two of her best, gowns, two petticoats, 6 silver
ten.spoons, and two table spoons, which must remain
six hours in lief pissession, or the charm would be
broken, She obtained the property from the
ereditions girl, and promised to return and complete
her undertaking at five o'cloCk in the arierrition ;
but she never appeared until she was scented in
Ot;sventir.square on Tuesday. She was committed
to Likelier trial' for the offence,
On Monday seni,ight as a cart belonging to
Mr. Norris, of Halifax, heavy laden with bales of
cloth, was corning up Dewsbury 8.0,k, the ltorsei,.
when near the top the hill, swerved, and precipi.
fated the cart and themselves doin a .hill twenty.
nine yards. The cart, as might rehonably be ex.
peaed, was'broken to pieces, but all the five hor,es'
escaped almost by a Miracle, with whole bones, but
not with..ut Some severe bruises. "

, Yesterday seinnight, illy o

morning, a lire was discovered to have b-roke out in
the stores and concerns of Messrs. Leek), anti CAL
`ter, two very. respet`.talae Merc4its of Waterfold,
nn theSout It: Parade. Its fitst.appearance,was of
very alarmiog natureoarticularly so from the quan,
thy of combustible thercliandize which. the stores
contained, and threatened little less than the de.
struzilon of the entire concern ; but by the timely
and t+t~ive assisrance of the 'liyor and Shera,., and
a number of Citizens, and of, the Ettl of with
a part of the garrison, the fire was happily got un.
der with very little loss to the. pmpicyjr.
