head ridge of a field at invergow•c:c.,, next the high
road leading to Perth, • a small parc,`',J,,,.Containing
.eight, shillings ; each shilling was wrap;r4 in a sea
parate piece of paper. On examinatio, they
proved to be counterfeit coin, tolerably
executed ; their inferiority is most perceptibLN in
the sound. in the course of that day, a numkr,
of similar Parcels, containing coin of the same kind,
were turned tmp by the plough in the same. field..
From these tircomsances we may infer, that the pro_
moters of this villarous traffic are not fir dis-
tant. Perhaps, from the above deposit, they
have been accustomed to. furnish themselves with
quantities sufficient f,;r each day's circulation.—
The Public, therefore, cannot be too much on their
guard against impositions of this sort ; and exertion-
to discoVer those engaged in this fraudulent occupa-
tion, is a duty which every individual owes io the

" The excess of our grief, Si 4 has not, prevented My 'son

The number of those tWorthy persons to whom our thanks
are due, being too great to permit us to address ourselves
,to each. in particular, we have rednested the Minister of
the King, who is the head of the Bout:SONS, to express,
as perfettly as it is possible, to thbse .EMigrants
,so. worthy
of the cause qie.y support, how sensible we ere of the
generous and distingyished manner in which they have Min-
gled their regret with ours, in the august ~and mournful cere-
mony of yet:terday 4. We therefore beseech you, Sir,, in
concert with to be the interprew r:flour just and lively
gratitude, which will never be extinguished in our hearts but
with our breath, will terminate at once our sufferings
and our unfortunate race. '
" We owe to you, Sir, our particular.thanks for your care
of tl)e ceremony of yesterday ; and we beg you to rest assured
of of gratitude, and of the sentiments of perfect esteem and
siitc're friendship for yoe; with which we have long been

this morning the several prisoners who stand
charged with felonies, were. removed to Newgate,
preparatory to their trials at the ensuing Sessions,
which conimence on Wednesday next at the Sessions
House in the Oki Bailey.

yesterday morning about ten o'clock, a shocking
assault was committed/by a tailor, in a cotitt in
Long Alley, Moorfields, on his wife, to whom he
had been married twenty years. He cut :ter with
a pair of sheers, hrcke her collar-bone, and' nearly
fradUred her skull. Two Surgeons were sent for,
who dressed her wounds ; after which she was con-
veyed to the, hospital, with very little hopes of re...
covert'. The man was taken into custody.

Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, a smoke
was discovered issuing
,from the kitchen of an empty
house, in Stratford-place (late a Banking-house.)
When the key was procured, and the door opentd,
the smoke issued so powerfully up the stairs, that it
was found impossible to go down ; therefore the
doors were kept shut, to prevent .'the admission of
air, until the arrival of the engines, which being
plentifully supplied with water, played in at the
kitchen windows, and the fire was got under with.
out much damage. We could not learn from what
cause it proceeded.
Yesterday a b,y
tin's-lane, by was knocked down in Sr. Mar_
a horse which had run away with a
gig from Aldridge's Ropository. He was removed
to a neighbouring Surgeon's, where it appeared chat
his skull was dreadfully fractured, and he was other-
wise so much bruised that no hopes could be enter.
tained of his surviving. The chaise ;',1(1 been left
in the care of one of the men at Aldridge's. The
animal was Providentially stopped before it ruched
the Strand, by a brewer's drko.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, Mk Y,

BOLTON V. GLACKSON.

LORDCELLPNBOROUGH, pronouncing the Judg.,
ment of the Cnurt in this case, said, that since Lo-
thian and Henderson, it is determine 4 that all sen.
tences in- Voreign Courts are conclusive in an action
upon a •Policy‘of InsUrance, upon every subjea pro-
fessedly within the jurisdiaion of such Courts. The
Court of Senegal, it appeared, was a Pt ize C
it had exercised its authority, and had coandetur
Danish Ship the Oxode, as not within the pro
of neutrality. In this case, .a warranty of
•lity was given by the Plaintiff, which warrat
thus falsified, and judgment 'must .go for the
slant:

Lord F.:LLENBOROVGH also delivered
Ment of the Court on this case, on, which th
tion arose on a certain. Will made by,Whire,
•
cember, 1153, in which he made certain dev
Trusteesj 'and the doubt was on the wordy
Will,.whether such Trustees took an estate
or merely a chattel interest. His -Lordship,
ing the opinion of the Court, commented on the case
of Jenkins v. Jenkins, in Will's Reports, 650 ; on
Coke on Littleton, 4.2 A ; on ist Browne's Chan.
cerr, 75 ; and on ad Term Reports, 41_1.; and the
Court determined,, that the Trustee's only took ant
estate for life, for the purpose of discharging certain
annuities, and the gross sum of B°2l. and that the
remainder.man in tail had such an interest in the
estate as enabled him to make the devise stated its

SAMUEL CARPENTER TOOKE.

Mr. OAR Row moved for a Rule to shew cause,
why this Gentleman,' who is an Attbrney, shouid
not deliver up to Mrs. Burns, a widow Lady, a
Bond to the amount of !Soot. It appeared that
Messrs. Debary and Cope were this Lady':, Attor-
flies, but that Mr. C. Tooke had iecommendeci
himself to‘ Mrs. Burns by some tender languaget
when lie eioressed.himsell as having " forgotten his
professional duty to indulge the feelings of the heart'
and to atvend to the impressions of nature." This
Lady had a considerable property in land, to the,
extent of 6000 acres,. in St. John's,now called Prince
Edward'S Island. This estate, she had confided *to
this Gentleman for the purpose of stile ; he said hi
had procured a rurchaser, and the Learned CoUnsel
observed, he had in .consequence ()brake,: the title
deedi, whichl;eing inspated by the proposed buyer,
a 'Bond had been given for r 3001. as the eonside.
ration money in the bargain. Mr. Tooke, he saidi
had been applied to in vain to deliver up this Bond,
and under the suspiCion of his intending to make an
improper use of it, the present application was Made
to the Court.
Lord ELLENBOROU Take a Rule to
sliew cause."

/..SS/CNEES OP BATTIER, A BANKRIJI'T, CIUTO

HAM.

Mr. ERSKINE had obtained a Rule to sliew caust
why the verdict had for the Defendants at Guild&
hall,, before Lord ELL ENBOROUGH, should not be
set astde.

And the. faas, as testified at the trial and report..
ed by the Judge, were not controverted or attempt.
ed to he explained away by Affidavit'. It is a ques-
tion of law resulting from the following condensa-
tion of fats

The Defendant sold goods to the house of Battier.
These goods, according to Battier's order, were sent
from Manchester, where the Defendant resided, to
Hull,to Metcalf, Battier's Consignee there, to be by
him forwarded to Haniburgh, as usual: Metcalf on
the trial described himself; not as the known Agent
of Battier, but (to use his own expression) an expe.
diter ; that is, he either kept the goods iq his wale•
house at Hull, or put them on board a vessel bound
for Hamhurgh, whither Battier's goods were usually
sent ; and in the present case he had ativally stowed
four bales of,the goods in question on board a Ve3_
sel bound to Harnburgh ; and the Defendant hear..
ing that Battier was in a tottering way, had the
goods, viz, both the bales, which had been shipped
and those which remained on shore in Metcalf's
warehouse; stopped as in transitu. After this stop-
page, Battier, before he committed an Al of Bank-
ruptcy, bet after after ,he knew himself to be in a
tottering Condition, wrote to Chetham, and fairly
proposed to rescind the contra& But these are the
questions, viz, first, were the goods stopped in trap_
situ, or was the treansitus at an end ? And secondly,
was the rescinding of the contrati by Battier fair,
under the circumstances, or an unfair preference of
one creditor to the rest, by an insolvent man ?
Mr. GI B as had risen to argue the question, when.
the Court postponed the case, we heave because
Lord ELL ENBOROUGH was going to the House of
Lords.

THE KING 4J. TUCKSWORTII AND 01-11ER4.,

RIOT.

The ATTOkNEY.GEN ERA', moved for the judg-
ment of the Court against John Tucksworth and five
other persons, convicted at tbe last Assizes for ihe
county of Lincoln, of a riot and assault upon a press-
gang.—From the Judges' report it appeared, the
townspeople of Boston conceived that the press.
gang had been sent with a view to impress such men
as had voted against the Court Candidate at the late
election. In consequence of this impresstoo, they
assembled, to the number of two hundred, armed
with all sorts of weapons, and attacked the press.
gang with great violence, but fortunately no lives
were destroyed. The Defendants, who atted as
ringleaders, were selened as proper objects of
prosecution. Affidavits in mitigation having
been read, and Counsel having been heard on
their behalf, Sir N. GROE pronounced the judg-
ment of the Court. His L _rdship observed, that the
Defendants, by their condutt, had been guilty or a
very heinous offence. They ought to have known,
that those persons who constituted chat were called
Press_gangs, were engaged in a service, tit object
of which was, the protelion and preservati,tl o the
Cwantry. As long as it was necessary to have f.ata
