the'plaintiirs first floor; in Hunter-street, Bruns-
wick-square, for a_month certain, at two guineas
per week. This- bargain was made with •the
niece of the plaintiff, who hearing subsequently
that the defendanes wife was also to reside in thu
lodging's, cite went to the 'defendant's chambers,
accompanied by her niece, when a fresh bargain
was entered into of two guineas and a half per
week, in Consideration of the additional trouble
the deferdant's Lady might be supposed to give.
The defendant, complained of these exorbitant
terms, but at length agreed to pay the additional
rent, for one month certain.

diately complained that they were not so well
furnished as they were when he at first saw them ;

the waits, and' a table and sofa were removed

THOMPSON V. GLOVE,R.

. .
Assumpsit upon a bill of exchange for 200/
anti for Work and labour, And money laid out and
-expended to and for the 'use of the defendant.
The statute of limitations was pleaded to the bill
of exchange.
The ease-was this :—The 'defendant is an el-
derly woman, upwards of 70, rite widow of a Mr.
Clover, formerly a manufacturer at Birmingham,
at whose decease she became his administrattix ;
and the plaintiff is her son-in-law. The defen-
dant's husband,- at the time of his death, had ex,
tensiveAlealingsin France, and was owed several
thousand pounds by traders in that country. in
older to collect in these debts, the defendant em-
ployed the plaintiff and her own son to go to
Fiance for that- purptise, to act by power of at-
torney, and take such steps as might be requi,ite
for the recovery thereof, in consideration of which
trouble they were respectively to receive 5 per
cent. upon the atnount at the debts recovered,
nd an allowance of '2 a. per diem for their ne-
cessary expenccs, during their ,continuance in
France up•un the defendant's affaits. In Hilary
Term last the defendant brought an action against
her son-in-law, to recover a balance of 9201.
claimed to be due to her in respect of these trans-
actions ; tint site did not succeed. Since then,
the present action was brought against her by
her. son7in-law, and another against her at the
suit of her own son, who was the principal wit-
tiess to support this case, the defendant being
now confined, at their suit respectively, in the.
King's By itch prison.
From the evidence of the defendant's son, it,
appeared that the plaintiff was debtor to the deo.;
fendant, upon the statement of accounts, in
mach larger amount than the sum now
and therefore the Learned Judge kected a non-
suit.Nonsnit ed: x.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday an Inquisition
was taken at the sign of the Bell, in Friar-street,
Blackfriars-road, upon the body of Eliza Sciaire,
aged 15 years,- before THOMAS &tutToN, Esq.
Coroner.. The deceased was found dead in be.
in a brothel in St. George's-fields, on Sunday
moining last, having been seduced from hey
friends. •The Jury viewed the body, and found
black marks about the neck and arms. After a
.strict investigation, there was no reason to be-
lieve that any violence had been offered to the
deceased ; but it appeared that, labouring under
disease, she had taken some quack medicine,
whose pernicious qualities had hastened the pro-
gress of an internal complaint, a polypus ot. the
heart, which. had ruptured, and produced suffo-
cation. The scoundrel- who seduced this child
from her home, about three weeks ago, and
placed her in the nest of profligacy where she
.died, bad not been near her for several days ; and
-had even omitted to send her the miserable pit.
tance which he had promised, to keep- her from
starving. The surgeon having stated that the
black marks about the neck were caused by the
flow of blood, and the blackn4s on the arms by
forcing them into such a position that the body
could lie in the coffin, the Jury returned a verdit
of—Natural Death.
