KINROSS VoLUNTELRS.
thoN Friday last, the Volunteers of -the.Gounty
of Kinross assembled upon Kinross Green, to meet
His Majesty's Lieutenant, Mr,. ADAM, and to eft.
hiliit to the County their Inyalty to, their King,
and their attachment to 'the Constitution. It is
with the greatest 'pleasure that we state that their
numbers, annountiog to near 70cs men, not only
greatly 'exceeded the quota required by the National
Defence Ad, but far Surpassed what could have
been expected from so small, and comparatively so
thinly inhabited a County—their numbers would
have been considerably greater, had not many been
employed in getting in the harvest.
About one o'clock, the Volunteers marched into
Kinross from their different parishes, headed by the
Deputy Lieutenants of the ilistrids to which they
belonged. Soon after Mr. ADAM arrived, and
having inspeded the-whole, addressed. them in
few words :—‘.l He congratulated them upon their
z:al, their spirit, and their loyalty. He congra.
tulated theta upon the example they had set the dif.
&rent COUntitS of the island. He pointed out to
them the danger to which the county was exposed,
and strongly enforced the necessity of their joining -
heart arid hand in opposing the attemp:s of an
placable enemy. He recalled to their recolledion
the gallant deeds of their heroic ancestors, and re.
minded them of the exertions of Bruce anti Wallace
in the sacred and glorious cause of Liberty and of
their Country. He represented to them the'griat
share which their countrymen ever had in the naval
and military successes of the nation, 'and called upon'
them by every honourable motive to similar exer.

tiOfis.';

The whole of this speech was received with much
applause.

—Ha Majesty's health being then drunk with
every possible demOnistratioo of loyalty and attach.
meat, they marched hack into the town, headed by
the Lord Lieutenant and his Deputies, where they
were dismissed, Mr. ADAM again addressing them
as follows:" Be sincere in your Religion, loyal
to your King, true to the Constitution, obedient' to
the laws, affeetionate to your families, and united ,
in your efforts, and you may defy Bonaparte and all
hits power."

Nothing could equal the -loyalty, the zeal, the
regularity, and the good condud of these brave de-
fenders of their Country. The whole -presented a
scene uncommonly striking and 'animating, which
was greatly heightened by the -beauty- and singu.
larity 'of the surrounding scenery.

Yesterday evening a poor woman considerably

COURT OF CHANCERY, Auc: 13.

IN THE WATTER.OF FISHER.

Tilts was an application to. the Court on the:Pe-
tition of Mr. Musgrave 'and others; to stay the
Certificate of Mt. William Fisher, late 'an" eminent
trader and banker at Cambridge. It appeared;
Mr. Fisher had originally stopped payment in the
year 1797,. upon which a ComMittee of Gent
men Of. the Lrniiersity were appointed to investigate
his affairs. The Committee found that he was
worth considerably beyond what was sufficient for
the payment of his debts, and accordingly, time.was
given him, and he was allowed to continue in die-
management of his affairs. A Cotmnission of
Bankruptcy was,
.howev,er,. awarded agaltist him
about a year and a half ago, to which he duly
.appeared, and passed his last exatnination t' the
apparent satisfaction of his Creditors, and his Cer-
tificate was signed by three:fotirths of his Creditori
in number and value ; notwithstanding which, Mr.
Musgrave applied to the Chancellor by a Petition
signed by himself and about .a doz.,!n other Credi-
tors, desiring the Certificate might not be san6tion-
e l by his Lordship. The Petition snggested that
Cie Bankrupt had, since the investigation 'of his
affitirs by the Committee in 1797, been living in a
style of splendour inconsistent with hiS.circumsrao-
ces, anti that., it was imposiible fairly to account
for a deficiency.toso large an amount' in so short a
space of time: And further, that the Bankrupt had
misled his Creditors, by publishing an advertisement
in a newspaper, stating, that he was worth 20,0001.
more than would pay his Creditors.
To this it was answered on the part of the Bank.
rupt, that his style of living, so far from being
4plentlid or extensive, had been upon the most fru-
gal and oeconomical system ;. that with regard to
the- advertiseMent, its insertion was attributed to
the zeal of his, •ftientis ;• that the deficiency-of a
losing concern, conducted on an extensive scale,
was easily accounted fur, and that the, Bankrupt
lard .)eted with sincerity, and aoswered.every goes,
relative to his affairs with the approbaton of
the Comilissioners and the Assignees. It was fur.
ther suggested., that Mr.- Musgrave the Petiqoner,
who was a Creditor to a very small am amt., his
debt amounting only to 801. liad expended more
than that sum in riding about the country to pre.
vent the Bankrupt's Creditors from signing Jzis cer:►
tific

LORD CHANC LLO R desired the matter
might stand over, in order that same further affi-
davits might be laid beible him. The question ac.
cordingly remains open fur future discustiun..,

AIINI.S.

IX PARTE PARNAB4.

This was a Petition presented-by M. Bdrnaby,
•
praying to be relievea from c.irrying int.)-exerution
a contra& for the purchase oi:Anestate .in Wales.,
of 19,0001. and upon which he had
„paid g deposit,
of the value of 30.001.

His application was founded on a suggestion. that
a good title cduld 'llOl he made out to• him of. the
estate in question. The greater part.of the estate
consisted of a certain number of covers or Welsh
acres of land, under which, but at a very consi..
Actable depth, there was an iron mine. The land
was part of 'the waste of a manor, over. which the
tenants had a right of common, and•it.was•enrorced
that theie Ancient Britons' were,:jealous! of the inva.
sion of their rights", and would' not suffer the least
portion of tlutt soil to he dug,•the gross upon which
Was the exclusive property of. their sheep, and it
was stated' they even threatened .to resist any at
tempt to sink a shaft. The Petitioner (who it
seemed had repented of his bargain) contended
that having purchased the estate with a view to
this iron mine, he was not bound to fulfil his con-
trast, as the commoners would not• suffer him to •
sink a shaft Or greet mills ant other engines -for
wotking the mine.

„
The LORD LHANCPLLOR expressed himself quite
astonished at this objection to the completion of the
poichasi.. fie had i,ever heard 'of any diffieulty
in working mines inEnglish ct-unties where there
existed a right of common': 'on the contrary, he be-
lieved, that in the North, the law was; if a per6on,
under pretence 'of right 'of common resisted the
P nking a shaft, to throw hiM down ; at least such :t
custom was held out b, wrortm.

If an anion- was broughti by a Tenant, having.
right of common, against a persOn ,for sinking ;I
shaft, unless it appeared that the piece of land
-clog
deprived the sheep of that. bite which .was necessary
to. their sustenance, he should think one farthing
(the lowesf coin.io the country) would be sufficient
damages. To lay down: a,contrarx 'principle would
be highly injurious to those who had manorial right.
His Lardship decreed, that. Mr. llarnaby should
carry his contra} into execution, pay the purchase.,
money on or before the Second or, in default
thereof, forfeit his deposit of 30001.

and others; for a which they had taken
danwge featant, in the grain of their enclosed
grounds, at Lindale, in the parish of Cartmel, and
which they impounded, in a common open ptplid,
within the division. It appeared that the Plaintiff,'
was not the Owner of any lands whatever, neither
did he 'rent any 'property, save a small cottage ; and
that, as the commons were a r the time enclosed under
an Aet of Parliament, the Plaintiff had no place to
depasture his goods, save in the highways and finest
arid that they frequently broke down the fences, and
trespassed on the grounds of his neighbOnrs. It also
41.);)ertred, that after the gelding was so imp olitic&
the Plaintiff tendered damiges, which he conceived
sufficient for the injury done the Defendants, but
which they refused to accept, and the gelding re'
mained in the pound for the space of thirteen weeks ;
at the end or W;ficli, it escaped therenut, by the
