ATKINSON v. ABBOT.

Mr. G ARROW stated this to be an action upon a
Policy of Insurance on the same ship, at and from
Idondon to Helsingborg, the Sound, Copenhagen,
and all or either.of them; and on the cargo of the
ship, valued at 5e6500. The goods an board were
wine, beef, pork, brown stout, cheese, and butter, sent
for the supply of our seamen and soldiers at Copen-
hagen ; and Mr. Garrow contended that the mer-
chants who had sent their goods on this occasion fact
a great public merit. • The ship, before she reached
her port of destination, was taken by a gunboat.
The A. TTOItNEY GENERAL had
.a sub antial objec-
tion, which was,' that although thesewthree places
were mentioned in the policy, yet in the clearances
from the Custom House the ship was only stated• to
be bound for Helsingborg, which indeed was the only'
port of the three to which she could go under the re-
striction of the Order in Council ; and, therefore, he
submitted that the voyage was illegal.
Lord atm:aoaoutai said, that although it was
in contemplalion that Copenhage.i should be deli-
vered up before that time, in his opinion that would
not render the voyage illegal.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages the amount of
the policy.

On Wednesday evening Mr. CLEWLOW, or Norfolk
street, Secretary to Admiral Sir SAMUEL Hoot), left
London in a post-chaise for Pori:mouth, when two
large trunks were fastened on the perch of the chaise.
The- post-boy, previous to Mr. C.'s departure, in-
formed him that the roads were much better by way
of Putney to Kingston, than the Wandsworth road,
and consequently the driver was ordered to „proceed
that way. After having got a short distance from
Hyde-park Corner Gate, Mr. CLEW LOW thought he
heard a noise, and on looking on, the perch, he missed
his trunks; he immediately alighted and went back
towards Hyde-park Corner. He discovned one of
chi trunks, containing private papers, &c. in the
middle of the turnpike road!, but the other, contain-
ing considerable valuables, was not fount • It is con-
jectured, from certain circumstances, that the rob-
bery was premeditated, and the Officers belonging to
Marlborough-street Police OiEce, are endeavouring
to trace the thieves.

_
Another robbery was committed on the property of
Sir SastuEt HOOD, at about the same time as,the for-
mer. The Admiral's servant had been sent to fetch II
a small package from Phillimore-place, Brompton,
to his town-house, in Wimpole-street. , The servant,
ow coming back, wv.s met by a genteel dressed man,
1 who informed him he had been long on his errand,
that his Mistress was waiting the arrival of the pack-
age, and th..t he was to return to Phillimore-place, to
fetch another package. The robber by this artifice
got possession of the property', and the credulous ser-
vant returned to Phillimore-place as he was ordered.
This package also contained valuables to a
,conskler-
able amount.

Yesterday morning about five o'clock', the shop of
Mr. BEAUCHAMP, silver-smith, in Holborn, was broke ,
open, and robbed of plate and watches to the amount
of 1501. The house of Mr. Isaacs, in Bloomsbury-
square, was broke open nearly the same time, and
robbed of plate to the amount of 10001.
Wednesday night, abous eleven o'clock, as one of
the Exeter waggons was on its way to town, it was
attempted to be robbed by three men, near Peckham-,
lane, Bagshot, but the driver making a resistance,
and having awakened the guard, who was on the top,
ithe thieves ran off.
A great fusi was made a few years since, about
the powers of metall;c tractors. But there is now a I
contractor, who will present the public with 500 at-1
Smears, on Tuesday next, which are made of the
most valuable of all mends, since they may possessl
