LOSS OF THE EARL MOIRA PACKET.
(LreTTrins FROM PERSONS vett° wafts SAS ED.)
" LrvienPoore, AUG. B.—Mr. F. having been en beard
the Lord Moira packet, ship-wrecked on the night of the rat::
instant, has ascertained the number of lives lost -upon that me-
lancholy occasion to amount to between 80 and PM. Many Gen-
tlemen of the highest respectability perished before his eyes,
and all the Ladies on board except one. This dreadful catas-
trophe arose not so much from the severity of the weather, as
from the incautiousness of the Captain and crew. Mr. F. has
known the Captain for many years ; he sees of excellent cha-
racter, and most sober habits ; but on this unfortunate day his
wife had been delivered of a child, which caused hint to be so
intoxicated as to be unable to conduct the vessel with safety.
" Mr. F. was one of the last who most miraculausly escaped.
Many of the Gentleiaten on board r erishe.d in ende.aveering to
save the ladies and children,. but to no effect. One circumstance
he sincerely laments to have been witness to. A boat had:been
• hailed, Which approached the vessel in her distress; a beautiful
woman and two helpless dying babes in her .e.rres,screaming for
protection to the mother ; the poor woman struggling, and pray-
ing to Heaven for their safety, were in the act of expiring; and
a young Ge.ntlernan and his wife, only a fortnight married, were
floating upon the ()cern in the arms of each other, as if resolved
to die together ; the surviving Geeticrnen forgot their own peril ;
the protection of those persons appeared to actuate them, but
the persons in the boat would not afford them assistance, and
they all perished. Very considerable property has been lost.—
Mr. F. was personally acquainted with some very highly re-
spectable Gentlemen and Ladies who perished."
" A V usT 11.—On our arrival here there were no steam-
packets bound to Dublin, and we being anxious to reach borne,
took our psssage in the Moira packet, which had nearly proved
fatal to the entire crew, more.than one hundred in number; one
half perished. I escaped by the•life.hoat ; but Captain Monro,
one of the Gentlemen you saw with me at ybur house, was un-
fortunately drowned. W. H. M. C.
" 'To Mr. Wright, Surgeon Aurist, Henrietta-
street, Covent-garden."

It•does not appear certaia, from the terms of
her late MAJESTY'S will, that Government made
• any specific promise of purchasing and presenting
to her Carnbridge-house. Her MAJESTY her-
self paid -the. two first instalments, amounting to
that " Only WM/. dile.
these she gave an order on the next quarter's
salary due at Michaelmas, and for this only the
house of RANSOM and Co. is guarantee and pos-
sesses the titles. There is no doubt but the
house will sell for the whole sum of 15,0001. at
which it was purchased for her MAJESTY, and
this will leave 90001. for Mr. WILLIAM AUSTIN.
We understand it is the practice of office to pay
annuities and grants upon lives, in full for the
quarter, if the person should live over the half-
quarter ; if not, a proportion only is paid up to
the day of the death. This, if acted upon, will
affect the funds of her late MAJtSTY, as she de.
parted this life before the half-quarter.— (Morn-
ing f.,:hTO7IiCIC

Mr. Grt has directed the following Letter
:o the Sheriffs of the different Counties and To 4 us
n Ireland :

" Dublin Castle, August, 1521.
" I send you, by command of the Lord Lieutenant, a copy
of a letter which has been addressed by the Lords Commis.
sinners of his Majesty's Treasury to the Com Missioners of Ex-
cise, signifying that in consequence of his Majesty's Coronation,
their Lordships are pleased to sanction the release of all pri-
soners who may have been confined for penalties, for breaches
of the Revenue Laws, for any period exceeding six months ;
and to extend this Act of Grace to all prisoners who have not
yet been in confinement six months, when they-shall have corn.
Ipleted this term of imprisonment ; and in like manner to sanc-
tion the release of all prisoners confined for debts due to the
Revenue, less in amount than £lOO, who may have been; or
when they shall have been, confined three months.
And I am to signify his Excellency's desire, that you will
forthwith proceed to discharge such Prisoners as may be con-
fined in the gaol of your ! under the circurnstartees
above-mentioned ; and in case there should appear to you to be
any prisoner who may have been guilty of improper conduct in
gaol, or of very fragrant character, in all such cases you will
transmit a Report to me of the particulars, with your observa-
tions, that they may be submitted. for their Lordships' further
consideration, and in &der to carry those directions more ef.
factually into execution.

CORN-EXCIIANGE, ..AUG. 15.--The supply mo-
derate, and but few fine runs ; although the weather is showery,
Yet it has no effect on the buyers, and the market may be con-
sidered a dull tale at last Monday's prices, and but little doing.

Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, MT. MATES,
the KING'S Messenger, arrived in London with
dispatches from the KING and the Marquess of
LONDONDERRY, from off Holyhead, which place
he left soon after ten o'clock on Sunday morning.
His MAJESTY'S ViSEC to Dublin will prove a
fortunate event for the Theatre ; amongst a most
elegant audience on Wednesday last were Prince
Nrcnot,A, Prince PAUL, and the Princess Es-
TERHAZY,

to state that her Ladyship died at one o'clock
yesterday, at her house in Grosvenor-street: She
was the widow of JOHN Earl of ELY, of the
kingdom of Ireland, and died after an illness of
many months, borne with truly Christian meek-
ness..

On Monday lust the remains of the Hon. Mrs.

MISCELLANEOUS.

VA tixxALL.—The Gardens presented a spec-
facie of more than Usual splendour on Monday
evening, in commemoration of his MAJESTY'S
Pirth-day. The Pavilion was illuminated with
additional brilliancy, and the whole side of the
square immediately behind was occupied by an
elegant transparency, on each side of which was
inscribed, in variegated lamps, " Long live
GEORGE IV." Several pieces, selected from emi-
nent composers, were executed in a very superior
manner by the bands stationed in the Pavilion,
whilst the vocal department lent its powerful aid
for the gratification of all lovers of harmony.
The Concert concluded with " God save the
KING" in full chorus, which met with some op.-
position from a small part of the company ; _but
that opposition was immediately over-ruled.
With this slight exception, nothing occurred. to
interrupt the harmony of the evening. A
triumphal arch, surmounted by a Crown,
and the letters G. R. composed of fireworks,
presented a very novel and imposing spec-
tacle. The fireworks exhibited various de-
vices in honour of the KING, bursting through
flames and smoke, which drew forth the
warmest applause; disclosing at the same in-
stant the name of our beloved KING, anti the
intent gaze of the gratified and sparkling eye& of
ids subjects.--The company were numerous and
fashionable beyond all. precedent,... The evening
was favourable, and the scene shone with extra-
ordinary splendour; to recite all the people of
rank and fashion present would be to give a cata-
logue 9f almost all the fashionables remaining in
town. Pleasure beamed in every eye and mantled
en every cheek, and all were loud. in their ex-
pressions of admiration and delight.

RIOT YESTERDAY AT CEIVBEIRLAND GATE.--The
disposition of the persons concerned in the out-
rages committed at Hyde Park Corner yesterday
may be fairly inferred from the proceedings
adopted. A considerable portion of the wall is
entirely demolished, and more than 100 feet of
the iron railing removed, some of which had been
taken from the stone and other fastenings for the
purpose of converting into instruments of destruc-
tion; many of the persons engaged in this incpient
act of rebellion against the constituted authorities
carried short bludgeons. The greatest praise is
due to the cool bravery and prudence of R.
BAKER, in preventing that which, under other
management, must have inevitably taken place,
and been productive of the worst consequences.
In all pacts of the metropolis the contrivance
of the party, whose object is only riot
and confusion, is quite apparent.

Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLA--
RENCE, and the reignini; Duke of SAx7,
GiN, dined with the Duchess of KENT, at her
apartments in the King's Palace, at Kensington.
Yesterday the Earl of WFSTMORLAND and a select party
dined with. the Earl of LlvErtPoet, at Corobe Wood.
The return of the Duke of DEVO:43IIIItE is shortly expected,
soon after :vhich his Grace and a large party will occupy hia

pose of grouse shooting.

FEMALE SPIIIIT.—Sir Joseph Wi
cretary of State to Charles 11. wrote to the Lady-
Anne, widow of the Earls of Dorset and Pembroke,
to ask her for the nomination of a Member for the
Borough of Appleby. The Countess, with ail
the spirit of her ancestors, and all the tie:-
quence of independent Greece, returned the.
following laconic answer, " I have been n:=-
glected by a Court, but I will not be dictated
to by a subject ; your man shan't stand,—Anat

ROWING EXTRAORDINARY.. On Sunday last,
six Gentlemen belonging to the " Arnicis Cutter Club,— under.
took to row from Westrniuster-briege to Gravesend, fro:a
thence to Tviickenham, and down again to Westminster adz_
tance of 100 miks, in eighteen hours. They started at half-past'
three in the rnorrrig,, and reached the Falcon Inn, at Graves.
end, at a quarter past seven ; when they partock of a hearty
breakfast. After resting an hour and a half, they were afra.a
afloat, and in three hours and a half they were through West-
minster-bridge. At this place a boat put off with some re-
freshments ; during which time they floated about a quarter of a
mile, and reached the Eel-pie House, at Twickenham-Alt, at a
quarter before three. At this place they were met by several of
tneir friends, at a comfortable dinner. At last they started to
complete theitHerculean task, and reached Weancinster-hritig:.-
at twenty minutes past eight ; having performed the distance is
less than 17 hours 02 of which were occupied in rowing), with-
out the least apparent fatigue. They were steered by eh it
Coxswain John Loader, of Old Swan-stairs. This mate..n, it is
believed, was never accomplished but on one other occasion.
At the house of Air. THOMAS CLOUSTON,
therbegging, Steuness, Orkney, a wild duck hac,
for the last two years, hatched in the kail-yard,
and had become so tame that, by corning eart-
fully to her nest, a person may put his hoard
below her and take an egg, and return it -without
raising her. Last winter she remained about
the banks of the Loch of Steuness, together with
her Hock, where the house is situated. This
season, after her young were able to leave the
nest, one of them got in company w Ith some
young tame ducks belonging to Mr. C. and ac-
campanied them into the house, where i: uo
sooner made its appearance than the cat sptung
upon it, and carried it off from among them.
On Monday se'nnight, about six o'clock,
chimney sweeper, about sixteen years of age,
who had gone'up to see the Glasgow Bridgegate
Bell rung, made his appearance outside the
steeple. Without a mornent's hesitation he climb-
ed to the top, -with the greatest confidence i.14t1

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAiLY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS•

August 15►

[NEW TIMES.]
It is impossible that any reflecting man can
peruse the account of the fatal proceedings of
yesterday without the most painful emotions.—
Disguise it as we will, it was the triumph of mob
-law over the' constituted authorities of the king-
dom. Deeply responsible to their -country are
,those men •who, by inflammatory speeches, and pa-
ragraphs in newspapers, excited the populace to
.resist whit ought to them, and to every subject
in the realm, to have been sacred, the lawful com-
mand of a lawful and proper authority. We say
-nothing of the indecency of distui:bing the ob-
sequies of the dead by tumult and bloodshed; we.
speak of a more serious and alarming evil, the
open defiance of law, and the avowed will of
,the mob controlling and overpowering the au-
thority of the State. It,is dreadful to hear, as
-we did hear last night in the streets, not one but
-twenty of the rabble talking of the exploit of
the day as a victory !—A victory ? -Over what ?
Orr Law and Order, over all the bulwarks of
Liberty, and all the safeguards of Life. If the
Law be not immediately and strongly resorted
to—if the guilty promoters of seditious tumult
be not forthwith proceeded against and brought
:to justice, we must say that the Government of
the country will be henceforth held at the te-
nure of mere popular caprice. The breath of a
demagogue suffices to blow into the air_ every
power which does not rest on the support of an
efficient system of law.

[MORNING POST.i
An awful day has closed for this Metropolis :
a day of .alarm and of tumult ; of contempt
for all civil authority, of open defiance to the
'military—of sacrilege and bloodshed. The
dark 'prophecies addressed to the Earl of. Li-
verpool have been illustrated and realised.—
They were. not the 'vain dreams of female ima-
gination ; they had been dictated by those who
intended to give them effect, and were meant to
intimidate not to warn. " Mischief and .blOod-
;shed" have indeed ensued ; but whence did that
mischief originate, and through whom has that
'blood been shed ? Let . the perverters of the
public Press, • the corrupters of the people, the
enemies to all that is valuable in the Constitution
and sacred inlteligion-, give an answer, and if it
could be an honest one., they must convict them-
selves. The doctrines whiCh they have scilong
and so industriously disseminated among the
-lowerorderi—the rnigrePresentations Whieh'they
have put forth—the falsehoods which they have
uttered, have at laSt produced their natural
fruits: The seed was scattered on all the winds ;'

the ground now proves its fertility, and the har-
vest promises. to be abundant. Surely thoe who
'Lave employed 'every power of their minds and
every hour of their political existence in sapping
the foundations of public morals and public or-
.der, will 'not start with affected "incredulity at.
the fatal consequences of their delusions.

• ' • [MORNING..CIIROWLE;]
The intensity of the feeling of regard for her
late Majesty; entertained by nearly the whole
body of the people, though eviden:Cto all persons
of the least..discernment, yvas questioned-by the
.iarne.Ministerial Journalists, who had:tfie- effron-
tery to deny: the existence of the general disap-
probation of the .proCeedings against her, in de-
spite of the conduct and most unquestionable
manifestations of public opinion in all. parts of
the country. The, spectacle which this metro-
polis yesterday presented,- afforded the noblest
refutation of the Ministerial Prints. Every
-where 'the loudest demonstrations of affection
and sympathy were heard, mingled with bit-
ter execrations against the authors of her fate.
All the shdps were closed, even • those in
t!-(~ most retired :courts and alleys ; and, in
spite of the
.In*mettcy of • the day, countless
multitudes thronged • every direction which
they supposed -the procession might take. If
Ministers have allowed themselves to be duped
by the false accounts. of their -Journals,_ .their
credibility and imbecility are indeed surprising.
If, however, they were.aware.of the extent and
intensity of the feeling of the people, what ex-
- -cuse Can. be offered'' for• the mad and wicked
Attempt to -outrage ihich they yesterday
inade ? Can-the gratification of a petty malice
justify the loss of life- which the execution of
-their plans necessarily involved ? They must have
known in that'case that thepeople wotild'endea-

'your to '
prevent their projected; outrage to the
'memory of the Queen; A dreadful responsibi-
lity attaches to them.

Thi itivitk Was iteatly Aitated throughout the
whole of ihi afterriOori of yegerchty-by various

reports of the numbers of persons killed and
wounded by the military.. Where such repeated
attempts were made on the part of the populace
to turn the ronte of the funeral procession, and
where a disposition was manifested to persevere
in such attempts, of so,determined a character as
to render a recurrence,to force and violence ne-
cessary for the clue execution of the orders which
had been issued by the Government, it was hard-
ly natural to expect that much mischief in the
way of wounds and bruises should not be

inflicted. The • rumours which were afloat in
the course of the day extended the number
killed to twenty, and the sufferers by shot
and sword wounds and bruises, were stated con-
siderably to exceed that number. We are happy,
however, to find reason for believing,' that the
extent of the injury sustained has been ex-
ceedingly exaggerated. By the mostidiligent in-
quiries up to a late hour last night, we were
only able to ascertain that one person had been
killed, a young man, by trade a cabinet maker,
who is stated to have buried his wife and only
child within the last six months. He was shot

through the 'wail, and dropped dead with-
out 'a struggled; his body lies at the General
Townshend public-house, in Oxford-street.—
Another, a poor labouring man, with a wife and
a-family of three children,• was shot through the
lungs, and taken to St. George's Hospital, where
he now lies without hope of recovery. Several
other cases were currently circulated, some of
which were said to have been fatal ; and others in-
volving serious damage of shot wounds, cuts, and
contusions of• every kind, from the discharge of
stones and brick-bats, the trampling Of horses, and
the pressure of the mob. But although it-is not
possible to believe that many such should not
have accurred,we were unable,in any other instance
than the two which we have particularised, to
trace the accounts to any credible or authorita-
tive source. The Coroner's inquest on the body
of the unfortunate deceased, which is to take
place at two o'clock this day will ur doubt put
us in possession of the fullest and most satisfactory
history of the•circumstances which led to 'so la-
mentable a result.--(ibid.)

• [THE MISS.] '
Our paper this day contains an account of the 111
Queen's funeral, which will be read with interest
amounting to horror. The first thing which will
strike every mind is the deep-rooted affection of
the peOple for their 'injured and broken-hearted
Queen. Every . Englishman-will feel proud that
he belongs to a nation so firmly and sincerely con-
stant in .its honest attachments. The innumerable
obstacles encountered,:—the ferocious conduct of
the soldiery,which Would;havedauntedanycourage
not founded on a sense of.justice and honour,—the
incessant rain, which would have checked any
curiosity not founded OH respect,—seemed to in-
crease, instead of diminishing, the numbers of
affectionate and voluntary mourners. The con-
duct of the Government will inspire unmixed dis-
gust, especially if what their own ministerial
organ imputes to them be true—that "the
". military were determined to. render fruitless all
" attempts to check the. procession: that the
" Officer of the Gnards said his orders were pe-
remptory ; and be the consequences what they
" might he must pursue them." Of the military
themselves, we shall
.say nothing : they are, in
such Cases, the mere• instruments of the will 'of
others. Ptii what shall-be said of the Govern-
ment which could (we will not say, order, but
which could allow) Englishmen to be sabred and
shot,: because: they . were anxious to show a
greater respect to the memory •of the Queen
than Ministers held consistent with their own
bitter hatred of the illustrious deceased ? Had
the procession been-suffered in the first instance
to take the regular route, and to pass by the•
main. road Through Hyde:park-corner, and -so di-
rectly on. to. the city,. not a murmur would have
been heard, nor a blow struck, much less a valu-
able life sacrificed. But no : they cared not what
consequences might . ensue, so' that they could
execute their ..design -of' robbing the public of•
their desired- means. of paying' respect to the
great object of their affectionate,'regret. One
only opportunity -remained of insulting the mor-
tal part of the- yet unburied Queen; and that
opportunity was not to be lost, though_theblood
of Englishmen might be shed in the.pursuance 'of
•
the paltry. design.- .The events-of yesterday will
become part 'of history, and the disgust of the,,
future Chronicler will. be checked 'Only• by hiS"
incredulity, - when he has to record the immense
distance between -the people and -their rulers--
between the dishiterested, and constant, and in-.
vincible affection .of- the first, -and the low, sub-

lIIS MAJESTY.

ISLAND 'OF ANGLESEA.

Holyhead, Sunday, Aug. 12, Four o'Clock,
The Royal squadron has.at length disappeared
from our harbour; and, while I am writing, it is
very probable that his Majesty is within hearing,
of the rapturous acclamations which hail his ar-
rival in the Bay. of Dublin. But. you will per-
haps be, surprised to hear that his Majesty did
not go over in his own stately yacht. The wind,
this morning, was sufficiently favourable for his
voyage, but there was so little of it, that it was
apprehended a passage in the yacht would be
very tedious. His Majesty, in consequence, re-
solved to go over in the' Lightning steam-packet,
Captain Skinner.7--From an early hour this morn-
ing the. men were employed in preparing this
vessel for his Majesty's reception. At ten
o'clock it was hauled- near to the Royal
yacht.---A sofa, Was transferred to its -deck by
means of pulleys, but no other partof his Majesty's
furniture or luggage was removed to it. At
a quarter past ten his Majesty appeared on the
deck of the Royal yaciit ;- the ladder was imme-
diately let down from the, yacht to the steam
packet, and his- Majesty descended to the deck
of the latter, followed by the Marquis of Lon-
donderry, and the whole of his suite. The King
looked in excellent health; He was dressed in
a cap, and plain blue 'great coat. As soon as the
whole of the suite were on board, the machinery
was put in Motion, and the packet 'sailed out
from' the harbour in magnificent style. She was
followed by the Meteor steam-packet, • which
was full of carriages and passengers.--
The pier-head was crowded with specta.-
tors ; and, when the packet moved for-
ward,. they cheered a loud. "and hearty
farewel. His Majesty took off his cap, and
bowed his farewel in a manner that showed how
pleased he was with the reception that he•met
with on this island. The packets had gone out
a considerable way in the harbour before the ar-
tillerymen on the quay knew that his Majesty had
sailed. As -soon as they were informed of it
they fired a. Royal salute. The squadron

- .
then set- sail, but gave time for the Royal
yacht to .come up and precede them. She left
the harbour with the Royal standard flying,
though the King was not on board ; and,
when she took her station, the whole squadron
crowded all their sail, and moved on in a slow,
but very imposing.manner. They will probably
be in Dublin Bay by ten or eleven o'clock this
night; but his Majesty is expected, from the
kuperior speed of the steam.packet, to be at Dun-
teary by four or five o'clock. When the yacht
comes up he will probably return to her, and it
is supposed that he will make his grand entry
into Dublin at one o'clock to-morrow.

' DUBLIN, AL c. 10.
This morning, which was hailed by the people
of Ireland as the happiest that ever dawned
.Upon their country, has produced nothing but
gloom, anxiety, and disappointment. Preparing
myself to attend the procession, I rose at five
o'clock, and shortly after went to the Mansion
House to ascertain the hour at which the caval-
cade was to set out. Here, however, I found
with regret the following official notice frotn.tlV...
Post-office, exhibited in the Hall :
" My Loan—The KING has been obliged to
put back to Holyhead, and cannot be here this
day. " I have the honour, &c.
" F. HONAM. •
" The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, &c. &c. &c."
No language could describe the feelings of
solicitude and disappointment which this commu,
nication created. Hundreds of thousands were
.proceeding in the joyful anticipation of greeting
their beloved Sovereign, when they had the
'mortification to learn that their hopes were
toso.sa.nguine, and .that their fondest desires
must for the present be thwarted. The greater
proportion of the moving mass could not be,re-
strained "fromgoing to Dunleary, even after the
official announcetnenthad been made known ; and
the multitude appeared still incredulous with re-
spect
to a fact which even those of better infor-
mation were not prepared to believe. The general
cry was," It Cannot be true ; I know he will
come ; I am sure he would not disappoint us ;''
and many offered to take wagers to any amount
that him Majesty would be in the harbour at
eleVen o'clock: "However, as the day advanced,
generally
.abandoned the delusive
.hope
.that they had indulged, and expressed their
regret in terms that showed how deeply their
hearts were affected. For many days past the most
unremitting preparations were made by persons
from all quarters, and of
.all ranks and degrees,
who vied With each other in devising the best
means of showing their devoted attachment to the
Illustrious Visitor. The. more wealthy part of
the population made such arrangements as were
consonant with their station in life, and the
poorer classes provided themselves to the ut-
most extent of their power with every thing that:
could serve as an emblem of their homage and their
loie. The demand for vehicles of all descrip.:
tions was so greatat 6 o'clock this morning, that
even a common car :Could not be obtained unless
at an enormous expense, and as for a post-chaise,
no money. could procure one. The words of
the official communication do not state the
cause why his Majesty was obliged to put back,
and, various rumours are circulated respecting,
it. Those who have the best opportunities *of in-
forming themselves .correctly on the subject, say
that in all probability his MAJESTY will come
overincog. and be take himself to the Park, where
•he will remain in the strictest privacy for some
days, should .the QUEEN'S malady prove fatal.

THE ASSIZES.

OXFORD.

THOMAS DASTARD. V. THE REV.. C. ST. JOHN MILDMAT.

Mr. T'AuNToN, in opening this case, stated it to be an action
for. a malicious prosecution and false imprisonment ; that the.
plaintiff had lived as valet with the defendant, who is a Fellow
of Merton College, in this. University.; had left his service a
few months since, and followed the business of a hackneyman.
The circumstances which gave rise to the present action occur-
red in the month of March last, when the plaintiff was appre-
hended upon a charge. of felony, and taken before the Vice-
Chancellor and Dr. Cooke, County Magistrates, upon an in-
formation of the plaintiff, Mr. Mildmay, which 'stated that he
had missed a tortoiseshell snuff-box, and various articles of
wearing apparel, from his rooms at Merton College, and that
he suspected the plaintiff had robbed him. It would appear in
evidence that the plaintiff readily admitted having had posses-
sion of the box, and had then asserted, as the tiaith was, that
Mr. Mildmay had given the articles in
,question to, him, the
plaintiff; which, as must be well known to the Jury, it tnight
be difficult for .the plaintiff to prove, although it was no un-
common thing for persons in the. situation of the defendant to
give servants their cast-off clothes, &c. . Upon the examination,
the -Vice-Chancellor considered it proper to let the case'stand
over for further investigation, and the plaintiff was detained in
custody till the following Tuesday, it being understood that
Mr; Mildmay should in theniein time take a Journey to Lon-
don, in order to,obtain posiession of the snuff-box, which plain-
tiff admitted he had left with a person in Bond-Street: Accord-
ingly, on the Tuesday -the plaintiff was brought, up for a second
examination, but defendant not appearing, the case was ordered
to stand over until the following Saturday,- when he was a.third
time brought before the Magistrates, and Mr. Mildmay not
then appearing, tior his absence being accounted for, the plain-
tiff was discharged from cnstody. In support of this statement
Mr. Taunton called several witnesses, whose evidence varied
but little from the Learned Counsel's opening case. •
Mr. JEnv on'tlie part Of the defendant, made a most able
reply, admitting that the law had been most correctly laid down
in this case by the learned counsel for the plaintiff, but he in-
sisted that, according to the evidence of the plaintiff's own
wit-
nesses, there was nothing from which malice could be-inferred.
He. was, however; rejoiced that the cause had arrived at a stage
which offered him an opportunity not only of rebutting the,
charge of malice, but also of exposing the impudence and vil,
lainy a the plaintiff in this cause, who, he was glad to find, was
present in court, which he must leave covered with disgrace.=
ne represented the defendant to be the son of a-baronet, and. a
man of high family, connections, and respectability ; and al-
though it had been the misfortune of his•client to take the
plaintiff into his service, he had never entertained the slight-
est degree of malice towards him. Mr:Jervis then proceeded
to detail the evidence he intended to adduce, and proceeded to
call witnesses.

Mr. H. Walsh,
,attorney, proved that in the month of March
last he attended before the Magistrates as Mr. Mildmay's soli-
citor, upon the charge of felony made againk 'the plaintiff;
Bastard : that upon that occasion Bastard admitted having.had
possession of the snuff-box, which he said had been given to
him by Mr. Mildmay, and that he had left it with a person in
Bond-street : that upon the witness's inquiring 'under what
circumstances the box had•been given, the plaintiff replied that

lie was packing up Mr. Mildmay things when he went abroad;
that he had filled the trunk so full that it-would not close, when
a gentleman who was to accompany Mr. Mildmay came to the
door in a coach; Mr. Mildmay, finding his trunk not packed,
flew into a violent passion, and opening the trunk.threw several
of the top things- upon the floor, amongst which was the snuff-
box in question ; that the plaintiff took up the snuff-box, and
inquired of his master what he was to do with it, to which he
replied, " Go to the devil, and
.do what you please with it,"
which he, Bastard, considered to be giving it to him.
Anne Budd, a bed-maker at . Merton Coltege,-the next Wit-
ness called; proved that shortly after Mr. Mildmay went abroad.
she saw the snuff-box, in the possession-Of galtard ; that before
Mr. Mildmay went abroad the snctif;box used to be left on his
mantle-piece, and that she had krioirn Bastard to take it away
several times, bind to use it for a day or-two together, and then
return it to the same place : that Mr. Mildmay', when lie went
abroad, left her in possession of the keys of his wardrobe, and
that (hiring his absence, Bastard, being then in the service Of
Mr. BouVerie,: came-to her and: said' he had received a letter
from Mr. Mildmay, desiring him, to forward some articles of
Wearing apparel to him on the Continent; that the witness gave
up the keys of his wardrobe to Bastard : that about six -weeks
before Mr. Mildmay's.rettirn Baitard wished her to take the
keys again, which she - refused ; upon, which .Bastard• left the
keys in Mr. Mildmay's room, where they were found on his re.;
turn to .College. The witness stated-that no letter-was produc-
ed by Bastard.
The College laundress and her daughter were then called :
the Tatter of whom stated that she was in the babituf washing
the linen of-Bastard, who, after-the departure of Mr. Mildmay,
had repeatedly called on her, requesting her to take the initials
of that gentleman's name from many neck-kerchiefs and other
articles which he brought to be washed : that the witness re-
moved the marks from some, but declined taking
,them from
others; after which the plaintiff, before the next washing, cut
out the marks which had been placed in the middle of the
handkerchiefs. She stated that she also washed for Mr. Mild-
may, and that at that time Mr. Mildmay's handkerchiefs in wear
were of a very inferior nature to those.out of which the marks
had been taken by Bastard. •
Here the Learned Judge interfered, and inquired of Mr.
Taunton whether; upon this' evidence, it could be said the de-
fendant's prosecution of the plaintiff had been instituted with-
out probable cause, and-observed, that he was bOund to say that
evidence of thiS nature would hang half the calendar ;, upon
which the plaintiff' was nonsuited ; when the Judge, again ad-
dressing the bar, observed, that this was a most impudent and
scandalous action, and that he was of opinion Mr. Mildmay
was infinitely too lenient-in not. having prosecuted the plaintiff.
for the felony, thereby protecting the young Members of the
University 'from being robbed and plundered by persons of the
description .of the plaintiff, which he was fearful- was too fre-
quently the case.
