Sirivntley Starm, it seems, rcCell4l.l a very
harsh 'reprimand for having. merely obeyed the
natural impulse of his gallant and ardent mind,
runaingover to the Enemy's Coast to reconnoitre
hts preparations, and perhaps not without the hope
of being able some point or other to interrupt
them. He was re-called back to his station in
Ouselcy Bay. Surely to lie inactive as a Block:
ship, is not precisely the best service which this
senhtiep.rprieing Officer could render in a fine so.gun
. Mr. Alderman ROWCP.OFT has commenced his
public career in a manner which holds forth a strong
pledge that he will becos'ne one of the most distin,
guished charakiers of the first City in the World.—
This Gentleman has for many. years been highly
esteemed tor his good sense and the manliness of his
charaeler in private life ; and his public talents are
likely to extend the favourable Opinions of his
friends, into-the reaped, of the people at large.

stated, that in the year when these Notes were in.
troduced into public circulation, the Defendant
litany transaaions with the Camp at Laneham. It ;
Wag a printed Note, in the usual form of Notes of
that day, from the Defendant's house, . the De.
fendant having a number ,of money transaaions for
a long time with the. Camp. There were hundredal

Ant, but in this cave had been Nit', and ,00niehow
or other had beep reissued ; send its was void, be.
cause the second time of its issuing it should have
had a stamp, which• it had not. He' maintained that
after so lortg..a.'..tirne since the daie'of this Nofet

but the,Note had been aatiallypaid by the'Defer;d.
.ant, and to prove which he called, a. young man of
the name of Bulcock, nepheW of`'the:Ter:on- at
whose house ..the Note was payable, V`iite,proVetti
that this Note was,paid amongst a number of others
at the time of Its becoming due, which was vwenty
years ago; it must have been issued again by some
means or other, without the knowledge of Bulcock
and Co.
'Lord ELL ettenttotrox said, it was extraordinary
that the Plaintiffs should have been furnished at this
time with the Note which was produced before the
Jury ; but if there hail not been evidence before
she Jury of payment of this Note, he.' should have
adviseti.the Jury, and he believed they would have
followed that advice, to have presumed payment at
this distance of time; it being 20. years. A more
solemn instrument, namely a Bond, would have been
cnnsiderei to have been satisfied, unless the con.
trary appearid ; but here there was proof of the
Note being satisfied.

THIS was an altion upon a Policy. of Insurance
which was agreed to by what is called a Slip, and
which; according to the practice of Lloyd's Coffee.
House, is preparatory to the executing of the Policy
of Insurance, itself, in which the Defendant agreed
to enter into. a Policy upon a Premium which was
paid, and which Policy might have been effened in
kfew day' afterwards, hut which was not done, the
plaintiff relying on it that the Policy would be sign.
eti at any time. The Plaintiff communicated to the
Underwriter .all lie knew at the time the Slip was
'lived concerning the Ship--but so, that if the
policy was then compleated, there was no doubt it
would have been binding, but before the Policy
was really signed, the Plaintiff received intelli.
Bence that the Ship was lust ; hot he did not cutn.
inunicate that circumstance to the Underwriter, re.
lying that the Slip was an undertaking to under.
wrile the Ship, and which was faitly agreed upon at
the time between the. parties.
The Slip was as usual on a plain piece of paver,
aired therefore trruld.not be offered as a piece of evi_
Acme, for any purpose, Pin any Court. of Law or
Equity, its stated in certain Statutes made for err.
Erin Stamp Duties, anti therefore the Plaintiff caused
it to be stamped tvith anAgreement Stamp, in order to
read it, not as a Policy of Insurance, to which in the
lwaetice of Lloyd's Coffee House it was equivalent,
Artit /wan agreement to enter intq a Policy of In.
surance, arid. whith 'the Plaintiff insisted was bind.
jrtu,tor the .Defendant inasmuch •as there was no
'lrani, in its.

-After it considerable discussion of this point
an`dileference to the Stamp Afts, Loyd ELLEN.
ttltpUtitit was clearly of opinion that he was pro.
tibiled.:by an Ad of .Parliament from receiving
this piece of paper in evidence, and therefore the
Plaintiff was non.ioited.
