there must be delivery as such, he rested his
clients' defence. The only question for the Jury
to decide is, is this any acceptance at all?
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury.
It was for them to make their• own observations
on the bill, and the evidence of Mr. Coles. If
they thought (and there could in his mind be but

little doubt of it) that the acceptance was ever
written by the defenllants, they would find a ver-
dict for the plaintiffs.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict, da-
mages 9901., with liberty to turn it into a special
case or a special verdict.
BIRCH AND-CO. V. CREEVE CLERK.

This was an action of assumpsit upon 9_5 bills
of exchange, amounting in all to about 9,5701.,
drawn by one William Birkes on G. C. Wright,
and other' persons, accepted by them respec-
tively, indorsed by the defendant and by the
drawer, afterwards indorsed to the plaintiffs.
'Fhe plaintiffs' case was confined to 19 of the
bills accepted by Wright, the defendant's al-
leged indorsements on the others being of so
doubtful a character, that they declined offering
evidence to support them.
This case excited very general interest. The
trial lasted from one in the afternoon till eight
o'clock in the evening. The case was in sub-
stance this :—The plaintiffs are respectable
bankers, carrying on business at Stafford, two of
them having a branch bank at Stone, in the
county of Stafford ; the defendant (the Rev.
Ottley Creeve) is a respectable clergyman, of
large fortune, residing at Muton, in the same
county. A person named William Birkes, car-
rying on business as a cheese-merchant and malt-
ster, in a large way of business, at Charnes Old
Hall, near Eccles Hall, in the same county, had

been in the habit of discounting bills with the
defendant, accepted by G. C. Wright, of Salis-
bury Arms-yard, London ; but at length having
some doubts of the'solvency of the latter person,
they declined discounting any more of his bills,
unless they were indorsed by some persons of
known credit in the county of Stafford. In
consequence of this Birkes, as was alleged, pro-
cured the endorsement of the Reverend defendant,
a Gentleman supposed to be worth ,e 7,000 per
annum, to Wright'skills, and the plaintiffs actual-
ly discounted hills to the amount of 9 or RlO,OOO
for Birkes, all of them being drawn, accepted,
and supposed to be indorsed by the defendant
between the latter end of August and the latter
end of December, 1820. It also appeared that
Birkes had discounted bills to a large amount
similarly manufactured, with Messrs. Sparrow
and Co. bankers at Newcastle; and with Messrs.
Broughton, Sprowton, and Garnet, liankers of
Nantwitch. It was supposed that the whole
number of bills so put in circulation amounted to
near 840,000. Several of the bills discounted
by the plaintiff had been regularly paid, but upon
some of them being diThonoured, notice was given
to the defendant in the regular way as indorser,
with a requisition to take them up. This led to
a disclaimer on the part of the defendant, that
he knew any thing of any bills in circulation with
his indorsement upon them,- and a declaration
that if any had bten so circulated by Birkes

they were forgeries. In the beginning of Janu-
ary last Birkes absconded to France, and
from thence to America. The plaintiffs then
brought the present action against the defendant,
as indorser of the bills set out in the declaration.
Anticipating that the defence intended was for-
gery, the plaintiffs relied upon the defendant's
own conduct in the transaction, to shew that he
could not be ignorant of the bill being indorsed
in his hand. It was imputed to him that, after

otice had been sent to him of the dishonour of

two of the bills, be paid no attention to it until
a week or ten days afterwards, but that in the
mean time those bills were taken up by Birkes
by means of the defendant's drafts upon Messrs.
Lubbock and Co. in London, where the defend-
ant kept a cash account. It was further alleged
and proved, that after this action was commenced
he wrote an intemperate letter to the plaintiffs,
reproaching them for their conduct in this re-
spect, imputing to them motives of avarice in
pursuing him, folly in trusting Birkes,-declaring

that he had never had any pecuniary transactions
with that person since the 24th of June, 1820,
and positively asserting that Birkes was a villain,
and had forged his name, as he had discovered
in a previous transaction with the Bank at New-
castle. To negative the contents of this letter,
Mr. Vernon, the solicitor for the plaintiffs, and a
Clerk in the house at Newcastle, were called,
and they proved that after Birkes had left
the country they severally waited upon the
defendant, and that in conversation he ad-
mitted that he had indorsed two of the sup-

posed forged bills then produced to him,
but which had been paid ; that he had given
Birkes a draft for 1001. upon Messrs. Lubbock
and Co. and 'had also given Birkes a receipt for
1001. which the latter had deposited in his hands.

He anmitted that he had' had an interview with
Birkes on the preceding Sunday, and on being
asked wlcy he did not cause him to be then ap-
prehended, he said he was not aware that he
could be taken up on the Sabbath, and on being
pressed why he did not.take steps for that pur-
pose on the Monday, he could not give any sa-
tisfactory answer. ather bills then produced, he
positively declared to be forgeries. On the main
issue in this cause, namely, whether the indorse-
ment of the bills in question were or were not
forged, Mr. Hurle, pay-clerk in the house of
Sir John Lubbock and Co., Mr. James Hoare, a
solicitor of Lincoln's-inn, Mr. George Keene, a
solicitor of Stafford, and Mr. George Bower, in-
spector of powers of attorney at the Bank, were
called, all of whom, except the latter, from their

PRICE SEVENPENCE.

intimate knowledge of the defendant's hand-
writing, were clearly of opinion that the indorse.
ments were genuine. The latter. witness also
thought that they were genuine; but, on his
cross-examination, he admitted, that all the l 9
indorsements appea:red.to be written nearly at
the same time, in the same ink, and with the
same pen.

The defence set up was, that the indorsonents
were rank forgeries; that Mr. Crewe was a gen-
tleman of the most honourable character and up-
right integrity, and incapable of making this de-
fence if the indorsements were genuine; that the
only transactions he had ever had with Birkes,
was in dealing with him for malt, for domestic
purposes; that the promissory note alluded to
was given by him to Birkes for malt so purchased ;
or that the receipt alluded to was an acknow-
ledgement for 100/. which Birkes had induced
him to take, for the purpose of lending it at inte-
rest for the benefit of the latter. To prove this
defence, Mr. William Holt Davison, Sir J.'Chet-
wood, Mr. Crewe, the defendant's son, the
Reverend L. D. H. Cockburne, and Samuel
Lovett, the defendant's butler, were examined.
The first 4 witnesses, who were intimate friends
and neighbours of the defendant, proved that the
indorsements; though extremely good imitations
of the defendant's hand-writing, were upon a
close inspection manifest forgeries. Mr. Crewe
deposed, that his father never wrote his name
twice alike ; that he was remarkable for using
bad pens and ink, and that he generally mended
his pens with a pair of scissors. His father never
had had any dealings of any sort with Birkes,
but in buying malt of him. That Birkes often
wanted him, the witness, to borrow money of
him, but he declined. The butler was called to
prove that he had never witnessed two promissory
notes, which Birkes had negociated, as the genu-
ine notes of the defendant, and supposed to be
witnessed by John Lovett, witness's name being
Samuel, and that he was unable to write.
Mr. BENNETT, a solicitor, of Tokenhouse-yard,
produced 10,0001. worth of Wright's acceptances,
drawn by Birkes, and supposed to be indorsed by
the defendant. These bills had been paid, not
by the defendant, but by Birkes or Wright.
Witness had been Wright's solicitor.—This was
the defendant's case.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied with his usual
ability.—The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up
the case with minute particularity and—the
Juay, after a few minutes' deliberation, fouud
their verdict for the defendant.

JULY 26.

SPECIAL. JURY---ADDISON AND OTHERS V. FOSTER..

Mr. SCARLETT, for the plaintiffs, stated, that
this action was brought by the persons compos-
ing the firm of the British Copper Company
against the defendant, who is a dealer in copper,
in Rateliff-cross, to recover a balance for goods
sold in the year 1817. The amount claimed to
be due was 3801. and upwards, but, owing to a
.change of partners in the firm, only a part of this
sum could be recovered in the present action.
The objection which, according to the state-
ment of the Learned Counsel, had been set up to
the payment of this balance was, that the de-
fendant had sold some copper to one Harvey ; a
part of which, not indeed to the amount claimed
by the plaintiffs, Harvey had sold to them ; and
Harvey not having fully paid the defendant,
he supposed that he could follow this cop-
per, or its value, in the hands of the plaintiffs.
But, said Mr. Scarlett, it will be time enough to
answer this claim when we see the shape in which
it is put by the defendant. In the result, it was
shewn this was not the defence on which de-
fendant rested ; for it was not touched upon by
his Counsel, who seemed to rely on the difficulty
the plaintiffs were expected to encounter in
proving the whole of the persons named in the
record, about 130 in number, to be the partners
at the time the goods were sold. This, however,
was proved to the satisfaction of the Court, not-
withstanding the great ingenuity and industry
displayed by defendant's Counsel in raising and
enforcing objections to technical points of law
and matters of form, as well in regard to the
partners as to the form of the declaration, which
was simply for goods sold.
Defendant's Counsel endeavoured to shew, as
far as we could gather front the cross-examina-
tion of the plaintiff's witnesses, that the transac-
tion was in the nature of a barter or exchange;
but the plaintiff's witnesses to this point dis-
tinctly stated, that they were to supply new
copper at the price of the day, and to receive
old copper in part payment, at a difference of
price for manufacturing ; the balance to be paid
in cash.

It did not appear that the defendant had any
objection to make to the correctness of the plain-
tiff's account; he, however, put them to the
proof of the delivery, and price of the goods, in the
regular way ; and they adinitting the defendant's
set-off (as they had before given him credit for
it), a verdict was found for the plaintiffs—Da-

THE CORONATION.

PROVINCIAL CELEBRATIONS.

OFFICERS or THE 3D GUARDS' BALI. AND SUPPER

IN HONOUR OF THE CORONATION.

_ On Monday se'nnight a most splendid Ball
and Supper was given at the Royal Hotel, Ply-
mouth, by the Officers of the 3d Foot Guards,
in honour of his MAJESTY'S Coronation. Cards
of invitation, including. all persons of distinction
residing in the town and neighbourhood, amount-
ing to nearly 300, were issued. The Ball opened
with a country dance, which was led ottby Lady
ELI Z ABETII PACK and Colonel GUTH CROW.
Quadrilles' and -waltzes followed, with scarcely
any interval, until two o'clock, when the com-
pany retired to supper. The large dining-room
underneath the ball-room was appropriated to
this purpose ; and Mr. and Mrs. WatnnoN, per-
haps, never did themselves greater credit than on
this splendid occasion, both by the supper which
was provided, and by the tasteful and elegant
manner in which the tables were set out. Grapes
and. pines were in the greatest profusion, and
exotics of the most delicious 'flavour were
to be seen in every direction around the
room. Wines were in the greatest variety and
abundance,' and all excellent in their kind.• The
champaign in particular, was of a peculiarly de-
licious flavour and taste. The entrance and
stair-case leading to the hall-room were most
beautifully decorated with laurel leaves, having a
Crown and the letters G. R. IV-. entwined, and
brilliantly illuminated with variegated lamps.,
The floor of the ball-room was chalked in six
compartments, having the Rose, the Thistle, and
the Shamrock, grouped in the centre, with the
regimental motto " Unita Fortiot," over them.
The front of the orchestra was decorated with
laurel boughs and leaves, surrounding the letters
G. R. I V.; and the regimental colours were dis-
played, one from each side of the room, at the
upper end. A guard of honour of grenadiers
attended at the door, and lined the approach
through the hall-to the staircase.
Among the company present were observed:—Lady Elizabeth
Pack, Lady and Miss Cochrane, Captain and Lady Augusta
"Fitzclarence, Lady Louisa Call, Lady Elizabeth Forbes, Hon.
Mr. and Mrs. Pole Carew, Sir Ascot and Lady Molesworth.
Lady and Niiss Buller, Mrs. and Misses Bultell, &c.' Indeed,
a more brilliant display of beauty and fashion has. very seldom
perhaps been witnessed in Plymouth.
During Supper, Colonel CLITHEROW, after re-
marking, that although it was not usual. to pro-
pose toasts in the presence of Ladies, he could.
not help giving one on the present occasion—an
occasion, he said, on which our goblets ought to
flow with wine, and our hearts overflow with
loyalty ; he then gave—" Health and happiness
to King George the Fourth, and may he long
wear the Crown of these. realms." We need not
add that the toast was drank with enthusiasm.—
Dancing re-commenced, and was kept up with
great spirit until five o'clock in the morning,
when the company separated, gratified, it was
evident, in the highest degree. Indeed, it was
impossible for them to be otherwise, considering
the splendour of the entertainments which were
provided, and the elegant and polite attention
which was paid to every one present, by all the
Officers of this fine and loyal Regiment.

CHATHaar.—The morning was ushered in by every demon-
stration of loyalty. Bells rung throughout the day, the town's
gentry assembled in the most respectable numbers at dinner, a
feu de foie was fired by the whole of the garrison ; the Officers
of the different corps and regiments clubbed together their plate
are. mess utensils, and met at the Royal Marine Mess-room,
being the most spacious in the garrison, to the number of raf.
where a most superb dinner awaited, consisting of every deli-
cacy and the choicest wines. The evening was passed most
convivially, when after having drunk King Gorge the Fourth's
health with three times three (the band striking up the fa-
vorarite air of God save the King), and other appropriate
tes_sta, the whole party broke up at an early hour to witness the
splendid transparancies of the Marine Barracks. Here words
arc wanted to express the effect. The whole front of the Bar-
racks was one blaze of light ; in the centre, under the clock,
appeared a.most beautiful transparency of his Majesty, over
which a superb Clown shone in great splendour, on each side
letters 0. R. and within the clock two most brilliant Stars.
All was one scene of enchantment and festivity. The soldiers
arid their wives who had dined together (a subscription having
bee^ made for the purpose), parading arm in arm, their chil-
dren and their infants huzzaing, groups .of richly dressed Offi-
cers, town people, &c. all enjoying the scene, with the band
in their superb new uniform in the centre playing the most
delig!itful and popular airs, concluding with " God save the
King," in which the whole joined thorns.—The Upper Bar-
raaks, and every other quarter, exhibited the same marks of
loyalty and affection.

TAFFORDSDIRE.—The Coronation was celebrated with
much spirit at Burton-upon-Trent. The morning of Thursday
was ushered in by the musical peal of bells, which continued at
intervals till after midnight. The Sunday School Children
were treated by the Ladies, who have the management of the
Schools, with a dinner, and in the evening, with tea, &c. out of
the subscription ; six hundred women had one shilling each for
tea ; and • about eight hundred children sixpence each. At
seven o'clock, some hundred gallons of strong tile--were given to
the populace in different parts of the town. Independently of
the dinner in the Town Hall, most of the principal Inns had
dinner parties to celebrate the joyous occasion ; and we must
farther record, that so perfect an unanimity of sentiment pre-
vailed, that.not one disagreement took place through the day
and evening. Owing to the Town Hall being engaged on the
19th for the public dinner, a ball took place in honour of this
joyous occasion on the following evening, which was most nu-
merously and respectably attended, and the merry dance kept
up till long after day-light ; and in the course of the day seve-
ral sheep were roasted, and ale again given away.
FOOL—(li. T. 0 nAN).—The day was ushered in by the ring-
ing of bells. At two o'clock a loyal part,- sat down to dinner
at the Basset Arms. " King George the Fourth; and may he
live long and happy," was toasted and cheered with four times
tour. The health of Lord de .Dunstanville and family was
given with three tinie4 three. The inn was decorated with a
teiernphal,areh, laurel, and flowers. In the evening the Basset
Arms was brilliantly illuminated with transparencies and proper
mottos ; the band playing national airs. The fine primeval
and druidical mountain of Carnurea flamed to the skies again e
cannon lending their thunder, and fireworks extending theft
radiations, awakened aisociations of ancient grandeur to
heighten the present glory. of Britain, and the glow of loyalty.
Lord de Dunstanville caused considerable sums of money to
be distributed to the poor widows of the neighbourhood.
JULY 26.--In this town, on Thursday, 'about 120
Gentlemen dined at the Great White Horse, R. A. Crickitt,
Esq. taking the Chair, being supported on his right by Sir Sa-
need Fludyer, and on his left by Capt. Daniel, R.N. In ad-
dition to the usual public toasts " The Cabinet Ministers" was
received with three ti nos three.—On Mr. Gooch's arrival from
the annual dinner of the subscribers to the Ckrieal Charity, his
health was drank with six times six, and the Hon. Gentleman
warmly returned thanks, and said the study of his life had
.been to prove himself grateful to the county 'for -the trust so
long reposed in him. Many other toasts . were drank in the
course of the evening, and it was kept up with greathilarity.—
A dinner was given to 150 poor men of the Blue interest, at
the King's Arms Inn, and by the contributions of Mr. Crickitt
and others; each presented with 4s. 6d. beside. The Lancers
and Colonel Edgar's Corps of Cavalry fired four vollies, and
went through their evolutions in the morning.
CLIST HorgiTox.--,The morning of. the Coronation was
ushered in by the ringing of the'cliarch bells, which continued
at intervals throughout the day. A copious supply of cider,
cakes, and other refreshments was then distributed among the
poor. True loyalty displayed itself in the lanuage of the
heart, repeated in song and sentiment, enthusiastic' and conti-
nued cheers of GOD save the King.
Briaxitnai.—The auspicious day was introduced here by the
ceering music of our national anthem, performed by an ama-
teur band, at five in the 'morning. Si;on,.all was bustle ; the

The French Journals of Saturday arrived this
morning, and bring confirmation of the important
naval victory gained by the Greek fleet at the
mouth of the Dardanelles ; the particulars of
which are communicated in tat article from Corfu.
It is stated that 44 the Turkish fleet, consisting
" of one vessel of three decks, three of two
" decks, three frigates, four.brigs of the first
" class, two corvettes of twenty-two guns, and
44 six gun-brigs of twelve each, cast a►►chor in
" the port of Mytilene, after having passed the
" Dardanelles ; but the three-decker remained
" at the entrance of the port.

" The Greek fleets, composed of thirty five
44 sail from Hydria, and Spezzia, having formed
44 a junction, the attack was resolved on. The
64 Greek Admiral commenced it by sending a
44 fire-ship against the three-decker to the entrance
" of the port. The Turks, perceiving•the danger,
" withdrew and left the port open.
" The Greeks, animated with the greatest en-
" thusiasm, and thirsting for revenge, engaged in
" a sanguinary fight, which was sustained by the
" Turks with the courage of despair, and by the
" Greeks.with a valour worthy the best times of
44 Greece. The Turkish fleet was carried by
" boarding, with the exception of the three-decker,
"‘ which was set on fire, to save the loss of men
44 by boarding. The crews were put to the
64 sword, or perished in the waves. Part of the
" crew of the three-decker escaped the flames,
" by throwing themselves overboard ; but they
44 were egpally terrified at the fate that awaited
64 them, on surrendering in the end without
C‘ resistance."

The true field of the Greek insurrection is in
ancient Greece, .which comprizes the Pelepon-
nesus, Attica, and the Islands of the Archipelago.
Whenever the Greeks have met their oppressors
in this quarter, they have disOayed energy and
courage worthy their ancestors ; and if we may
be permitted to prejudge the result, we think
that the liberation of Greece will commence in
the country of Pericles and Leonidas. The po-
pulation of Greece Proper we trust will yet ex-
cite tile interest of the European Powers, w ho
ought not to forget that the blood shod at this
moment on the classic soil of the Arts is the

blood of Christians, and that the perpetrators
of these sanguinary deeds are Barbarians. The
following are further Extracts from the French
Papers :

44 ST. CLOUD, JULY 27.—Prince Leopold- of
Saxe-Cobourg dined yesterday with the King
and the Royal Family.
" PARIS, JuLy 28.—1 n the Journal de Lyon
of the 24th of July we read the two following
articles :

' Some persons who pretend to derive their
intelligence from good authority speak of a con-
vention already concluded, by virtue of which a
great Northern Sovereign is to be acknowledged
as Protector of the Greek Confederation.

The report of a Secret Treaty relative to the
partition of Turkey gains daily more credit.'

" VIENNA, Jury 13.-- In the Isle of
Rhodes, the numerous positions originally forti-
fied by the Knights of Malta, and which are now
in the hands of the Turks, have prevent-
ed the flight of the unfortunate Christians, who
have been almost all 'massacred. The coasts of
Anatolia and Caramania are full of Christian
fugitives, waiting for the arrival of Greek ships
from the Archipelago to escape certain death ;
others have taken refuge in the mountains.
" The Christians of Syria, at the news of the
pillage, profanations and massacres of Jerusalem,
are reported to have joined the Drusi, the des-
cendants of the Crusaders, and sworn enemies of
the Osmanlis. As soon as these generous war-
riors were apprized of these circumstances by the
fugitives of Jerusalem, who escaped from the
cold-blooded massacres, executed by the Turks
in the Holy City, they rose against the Sultan ;
and it is to be hoped that the junction of these
brave men with the Greek and Syrian Christians,
those of Armenia, Diarbekir, and the kingdom of
Pergamus, may save a part of the Christian popu-
lation of Asia from the extermination to which
they are doomed by the Osmanlis. Letters from
Egypt affirm that Ali Mahomed Pacha has pro-
mised the Christians his powerful protection, and
declines all communication with the Osmanlis. It
is even imagined that he has entered into a treaty
with the Greeks of the Archipelago, and that he
carries on •a very close correspondence with them,
as well relating to Commercial Affairs as to
affording them aid in their noble contest against
the Osmanlis. It is now certain that the insur-
rection of Macedonia extends to the gulf of
Enos. All the peninsula of Mount Athos, be-
tween the gulf of Thessalonia and Orfano, is in
arms. It is added, that the Bulgarians, embol-
dened by the successes of the Macedonians, have
raised the standard of revolt against the Otto-
man Porte.

" NUREMBERG, JULY 9.1.—1 t is affirmed that
all hope is vanished of adjusting the differences
betweenßussia` and the Porte. The Divan re-
fused the mediation'of Austria, and we expect
daily to see the Manifesto of the two Imperial
Courts respecting the affairs of Greece. On the
other hand it appears the Porte has solicited the
interference of England and France.

" FRANKFORT, JULY 22.7—The reports of war
against Turkey obtain more general credit.

" ODESSA., JULY 3.—The Grand Seignior has
sent a Memoir to Petersburgh, complaining
against the Baron de Strogonofl•. The answer is
not known, but it is imagined by some persons
that he will be recalled and peace be preserved."

Two Dutch Mails arrived this morning, which
contain the following articles of intelligence :-
4C ST. PETERSBURGIJ, JULY 3.—The new
Spanish Ambassador, the Chevalier de Salmon,
has not yet been to have audience of his Majesty
the Emperor, as the other foreign Ministers
have who had arrived during his Majesty's ab-
sence. His Majesty wishes to wait till the,poli-
tical relations between Spain and Russia are
more decidedly established.
" HAMBUItCH, JULY 24.—Accounts from Pe-
tersburgh of the 7th inst. say, that the Emperor
was expected to return on the 9th to Zaiskojeselo
from his visit to the military Colonies in the Go-
vernment of Novogorod.
" llis Majesty the King of Sweden set out
from Stockholm on the 17th, on his journey to
Norway, accompanied by Admiral Cederstrom,
General Tawast, and many other persons. It
is thought his Majesty will not he at Christiania
before the Session of the Diet is closed. His
Majesty has appointed a Regency, consisting of
two Ministers and two Councillors of State, for
the time of his absence.

C 1 A Swedish Journal, which always receives
'its intelligence from good authority, has lately
published a very long article tending to allay
the apprehensions of those who are afraid that
differences may arise between the people of
Norway and Sweden. The corps which is to

be encamped. near Christiania, and which is to
be reviewed by the King, will consist partly of
Swedish and partly of Norwegian troops. Ac-
counts from Carlscrona say, that some ships of
war were to sail in a few clays, to cruise in the
Norwegian Seas.—(Four Swedish brigs passed
the Sound on the 16th, "steering towards Nor-
way. Some frigates and 15 gun-boats were ex-
pected.)

" BERLIN, JULY 19.-Isis Majesty arrrived on
the 17th, at Potsdam, in good health, from his
visit to the Provinces on the Rhine.

GC The news of the unhappy infatuation of
young Von II , who has made public a truly
insane invitation to rebellion and disorders, has
every where excited indignation mingled with
pity. Ills father served with distinction in the
Prussian army, but died early, and the education
of 4 children remained to be directed by the
mother. A sense of the father's services induced
the King to show particular favour to the Issiaow.
The eldest son followed his father's footsteps :
the confidence of the Monarch placed him in an
enviable situation near the throne, and he main-
. tained himself in it with honour. The youngest
son (who is .the one here in question) also served
in the war against the French, with distinction
and courage. But the violence of his passions
hurried him into an attachment contrary to the
approbation of his relations, at a time when he
had not obtained any employment. He lost all
command of himself, and became raving mad.—
Iternote hopes, and employment of his disordered
understanding, restored his reason in the sequel.
—He obtained an office in the administration of
the Forests, in which he had shewn himself
skilled. Having been from his youth of an
eccentric disposition, it is most probable that he
'has relapsed into the mental alienation with
which he was formerly afflicted.•---(Ditith papers,
