twice, $1)0 tneretore their judgment tin the sable
in dispte could not be equ'al to those who had lived
for years on the spot.

Lord ELLENDOROUCH, in the course of the trial,
took occasion to obserVe, on that part of the
reCtion of the Court of Chancery, which stated,
that the Judge "before whom these issues were tried
should be at liberty to make an indorsement of ipe.
vial matter on the postea. His Lordship observed,
that he had no duty cast upon him, but what the
issue§ upon, the *Ord casctrpoti hitn. rlifiose issues
his Lordship read. He had no direetion but the
record. He had an objalion to being called upon
to make any indorsement upon the postea. If any
thing came out in evidence upon the issue that was
essential to be indorsed, he might indorse it on' the'
postea ; but the Jury and he ha4,,nothing to try
hot theissues; they were to examine into faCts as
they had a bearing upon issues, and not to hunt
after projeas ; that would be going out of the pro-
vince of a Court of Law. Ire was bound by the
record, and by nothing but the record. The Jury
were also bound by the record, and by nothing
else. They were not sworn to try any thing but
the issue joked between the Parties. The Wit.
nesses were not sworn to speak to any thing but the
issue, anti if they spoke out of it, they could not
be indiCled for perjury. So that any extrinsic.
matter which might be expefted to be indorsed on.
the postea, was matter of which he was not bound
to take notice ; neither were the Witnesses sworn
to speak to, or th Jury sworn to' decide upon it ;
for these reasons' his Lordship said, he should be
abstemious about such indorsements. Nor 'would
this .ultimately produce any inconvenience, since
the Court from whence these issues came, might
hive the inspection of his Notes, where every ma.
terial thing sworn to would appear.
The evidence being gone through, his Lord:hip,
stated most perspicuously, in a
.few words, the
questions now to be decided, and expressed his
reatikess either to suns up the whOle of the ctrl.
deuce, or to abstain from it, as the Jury might,
think that was necessary Or superfluous.

. The Jury. said the case., Was too .clear to give
'his Lordship trouble on the evidence, but they
wished to
.hear his Lordship% observations on the
case, which were delivered' to'thiiti irrurs-di.irciy ;
alter which they found verdia fo't the Plaintiff.

MANSION-110)ISE, JArr.

John Connor, a seaman, late' of the ./Endostan
East Indiaman, lost off iVlargare, was again brought
forviard,' charged with plundering the wreck of that
ship, and taking away several valuable articles of
plate, the property .of Col. Gore, who intended to
have gone out passenger in the iiindostan. Mr. Per.
kins, ;a pawnbroker in the Borough, stated, that the
Prisoner carne to, his bouce u few days after the vessel
',was wrecked, and offered fur sale -the various articles
of ',fate in question. On asking Connor by what
means he became possessed of them, he, answered that
he (Connor) had been a sailor on board the Ilindooan
at the time she was wrecked, and that he was one
of th )se who remained on the rigging and was saved ;,
that the
,day after the tremendous gale .had taken
place, Mr.. Turner, the second mate, who also had
remained all night on board, gave all the Sailors per.
mission to take away any property they might find
.about the wreck, when, they proceeded. to search
with a stick among the sand which had been Wash,A
upon the remaining part of tl4Vesset; foun4l
‘
tbe plate he then offered for sale and further stated,
that other articles of plate had.. been found by same
of his shipmates. On hearing this •• story, 'Mr.
Perkins said- 'be could not give' up the pare,
bur told him to call again, and, in the mean
tsrne, gave hiM a tempoyary' supply of five shillings,
with tristruetions to bring a line from Mr. Turner,
to substantiate what he had stated. During the in.
terval, Mr. Perkins gave•infOrmation of what had.
taken Place at the India House, When he was ad.
vised to take Connor into custody; should he return,
which he,-accordingly had dime:'''' • -
Witnesses proved that the plate produced was the
same that bad been sei,t ori board the Hindwan.
. • .

A Midshipman proved, that. a hanger, which
was left with the plate, had belonged to him, and
was left with the wreck.

It also appeared, 'that Mr; Turner refused to
send a note by Connor, to sandlot) what had .been
said respelling authorizing the seamen to plunder
the Vessel.

Connor bring called upon, agreed in the story he
had told Mr. Perkins, and added, that he w;,s one
of the last on board the wreck, and was not aware
he had committed any crime.
On considering all the circumstances of the case,
Colonil Gore w4s induced to give Connor two gui-
neas, as a kind of salvige, and on condition that lie
would er.deavonr to inflnence hi shipmates to come
forward with any Platt! they might have in- their
posse cs ion .

About one o'clock a private examination of a
young woman took place, who had been found )ate
the night before in Pope's Head.alley, in a very
miserable and inysteriou,; situation. It appeared
that, as Mr.' Holdsworth, the Marshal, attended
by some of the patro!e, was looking round the City,
about 12 o'clock, to sce that every thing was gniet,
they found a' young woman in Pope's Head.alley,
lying on the ground, perishing with cold. Her
eyes were bound up, and her face covered with
black crape, and her arms tied behind her,'in the
-same manner as a person going to be executed. She
:was taken to the Compter, and Mr. Holdsworth
humanely ordered every kind of nourishment which
' was most likely to restore her. She soon appeared
greatly revived, but not suiii:iently so to be able to
I:relate her sad" story, an 4 iccount for the situation
in which she was tnund: •
; • The Lotto MAyOR no v inquired what had oeca-
sioned such cruel treatment, which 'she endeavoured
to relate, though. in an incoherent manner. She
said she was: the- daughter of a respedable Book.
seller, who' had hiled in' business that she had
been in search of some friends in theneighbourhood
of Hatkney, whom she had not been .able to find,
and returning 'to Town about eight .o'elock, by
