FOR TH L SUN.

M. EDlTOR.—Margate has been more fre-
quented this season than on any former Occasion,
and the visitors have been of a superior descrip-
tion. Many of the lodgings have been let at
double the price required last season. It has been
imagined that the extinction of the Property Tax
has . led to this migration from the Metropolis.
At Maidstone and other places the Hops are
abundantly tine. The House-keeperi at most
places of country amusement are injuring them-
selves by charging too much for their lodgings.
It is said that one Boarding [loose, at Chelten-
hamt►, held 200 visitors at out time, besides 50
servants., This, i,owevet, seems to be incredible.
I was sorry to find at one Watering I/14ee a printed
hand bill inviting visitors, at eighteen pence each,
to a Sunday Concert and Promenade, and from
500 to 70U have attended on every weekly per-
tormaace.

VIATOR,

PRIVA I'6 111 EA IRE.

The following aceonot has been sent to us for
Osertion by a respohsiblL person ; but we confess
hat it seems almost incredible :
" A scene of riot and contusion presented it-
self on Monday nilzlit last at a place called the
Minor Theatre (private), in Catherine-street,
Strand :—A party of young Men, haring beet, re-
fused admissioo without tickets, formed a Com-
mittee of and entered lino a Resolution of
forcing their way into the Theatre, it necessary
and they met at a tavern in the Strand nightly
to prepare for this outrage. On our occasion
the whole of them met at the Theatre armed with
bludgeons ,a td helot- refused admission, they burst
in and trampled over Messrs. Fox and ‘Vithers,
two persons concerned in the "'Theatre ; a parry
than began beating Withers with sticks, and
kicking hint on the ground, and he was taken
home almost insensible, and arts in a dangerous
condition tor Dine clays; ore atiothet occasion, the
doors being locked up by 'he Committer, Withers,
being threatened wittt murder, let himself irons
the top of the horse by a. rope, and from a
fall injured himself much: in every instance,
however, they burst in and always produced riot.
On Monday night, Mr. Valmer, the Manager
ot this Thespian Corps, gave rickets to the whole
of the Committee, who came armed with their
bludgeon's : sill of them wote black silk handker-
chiefs, and entitled themscves the " Black lied
Committee," and took their statious in the galierv.
Tire entertainments ot the evening were. High
Life Below Stairs. the play or The Iron Chest, twit
The Miller and his Men: the two toitner pieces
wrist 'off tolerably quiet. At nhe end ot The
Iron Chest a.demaod was made by the Proprietor
on the Manager for a sum to defray the necessary
expences of the Theatre, and the use ot it, other-
wise the performance would he stopp,d : bere the
actors made an attack on the scenery, and nearly
tore it to pieces ; the house was in a continual
uproar, made by the audience anti the actors, and
a large body of persons outside forced their en-
trance, and it was greatly feared some accident
would happen. The 114nager and several of the
actors came on to apologize, but nothing except
the performance would satisfy the audience, who,
quiie exasperated tore tip the seats, broke the
orchestra, smashed the lamps, and blew out the
lig!its. One Gentleman, on proceeding out of the
Theatre, had a lamp thrown at him, which co-
vered him with oil, and cut his forehead in a ter-
rible manlier. Great damage %VHS done to the
Theatre, which was crammed to execs', and being
a slight Wilding, it was feared by some of Cite
audience that the boxes would tall in. At length
the green curtain rose, and the actors proceeded
to conclude their entertainments without dresses
or scenery, and almost in the dark. The per-
formers bad the appearance of shopmen, tailors,
errand-boys, and shoemakers : they all began
dancing and singing on the stage like a set of wild
beasts, and they were soon joined by a party of
the audience, some singing " God Save the
King," others " Moll in the Watid,'". I for
Bob and Joan," and " Cease, rude Boreas," and
fronted a complete medley. During this confu-
sion many set-to's took place, in which severe
blows were exchanged, pockets were picked, and
the green curtain was torn down. This noise
continued for a length of time, till a report ,spread
hat the officers were coming, which made some
depart, and others, who were anxious for a row,
remained till near one o'clock, at which time Ca-
therine-street was crowded. At the commence-
ment ot the performance, when the curtain rose,
a young Lady was observed half undressed on
the stage. She instantly decamped on finding the
mistake."—( The Times)

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Mr. JONES is still in-
disposed, and his character in The Green Man re-
mains in the hands of BARNARD, Wilt) is a toler-
able substitute. Messrs. TERRY and TOKELY
have considerably increased their reputation by
their performances in this amusing Comedy. The
Th eatte was crowded last night at an early hour.
Miss PORTER, whose literary talents and private
character are deservedly held in high estimation,
had presented a Tragedy to the Drury-lane Ma-
nagers last season, but too late for representa-
tion : it will of course be one of the early novel-
ties, as the name of the author is a strong recom-
aleadation.

HIGH 'COURT OF ADMIRALTY OF StOiLAND:

ADVOCATIbN ---SKERN V. BROWN. •
This•case, which involved a question of ifitv,
reearding thejiiristUe!i(ifl of the Admiralty Court
of Leith, originated front the following circum-
stances :—Captain B. of the Navy,
reairl-
iut; in Leith. having contracted an account for
bread with Mr.. Brown,
.baker there, and the
latter having presented an application against
him, as in meditatione fugce. to the 4dotir47.
Depute of Leith, Mr. Laurence Skein, ship-
owner there, became bound by a bond, in the
usual form, to produce Captain B. at all diets of
Court, in any action to he raised against him
within six months from 'the date of the bail bond.-
An action 'was immediately instituted ',before the
AdMitialty Court of Leith 'against the principal
debtor, in which Mr. Skeen was
,ealled upon toe,
produce him in terms of the biine, when it was
alleged on Hs part--I at. That by charter of Ring
James the Sixth, the Admiral of Leith is confined
to judging in cases betwixt " theowners, tnaSters
of ships, and mariners of Leith, and nil other
owners, masters, and sailors, as well his Ma-.
iesty's subjects as foreigners, with their ships,
harks, and boats within the town aid port of Leith
for do-lime," which did not apply to either '4
the parties in the action. 2dly, SilPPOSirig it;
did, that the jurisdiction 'of the High Court of
Admiralty is limited to cases which are either of
Maritime or mercantile description ; that the ju-
jut isilion of an inferior Court of AdMiralty could
not he more exteusive, and that as the case did
not fall under either of those descriptions, it bad"
been instituted in an incompetent Court. The Ad-
miral Depute repelled these defences,' decerned
against Mr. Skeen, and found him liable in ex.-
petters.; and a reclaiming petition having been re-
fused, Mr. Skeenenmplained of these interlocutors-,
by hill of ad vocation, to the Judge of the High
COurt of AdmirThy, who, on advising the bill,
with answers and replies, appointed the respond-
ent to give. in a duply. and " therein to state the
grounds and the authorities on. which the Com-
petency of the action was supported," and there-
after he allowed the Advocates to triply tiS tsi: cer-
tain points stated in the. duplies ; -and, on re-ad-
vising, the following Judgment was pronounced,:
" 22d June, 1818—The Judge Admiral Laving con-
sidered the bills of advocation for Laurence Skeen,
answers for George Brown,replies,duplies,triplies,
:tad inferior Court process, finds that the original
action brought before the Admiral Depute of
Leith was a process at the instance of the re-
spondent, George Brown, a baker in 'Leith,
against Captain B. a half-pay officer of the Royal
Navy, and then residing in the town of Leith, for
bread furnished by the former to the latter, to he
consumed in the family of the latter : finds, that
this was a cause neither of a maritime nor a mer-
cantile nature, and, therefore, would have
been incompetent before this Court : finds,
that no inferior Admiral can exercise a juris-
diction in a case not competent before the
High Court of Admiralty, unless it can be
shown that such inferior Admiral has acquired, by
proper legal authority, a separate and independent
jurisdiction in cases of that description ; finds,
that there is nothing in the Crown Charters.
founded upon by the respondent to invest the
Ad-
miral Depute of Leith with a jurisdiction in a case
neither maritime nor mercantile, -and Which is
brought against a half-pay Nary Officer residing
in the town of Leirh ; finds, that in the case n

" Craig v. Jameson and Sons," (sth March, 1773)
where the jurisdiction of the Admiral D. pile of
Leith was sustained by the Court of Session, the
question was of a mercantile nature, being an
action for the price of wheat sold by a
mercha►►t to a baker, for the purpose of heingre-
sold after being manufactured into bread, theie-
fore rernits to the Admiral Depute of Leith, with
instructions to r•ecal the interlocutors cort)plaine►l
of, to dismiss the process, and to assoilzie the de-
fender (Skeen), but to find no expellees due."
