A singular circumstance occurred at the sale of the
furniture of the late Lady LYNCH, at Grove, in Kent,
—An old trunk which was considered as lumber, and
accordingly placed in the pigeon house, was purchased
by a broker from the metropolis, and, on examination,
was found to contain (according to his report)!a!parch-
ment deed, or instrument of material consequence to
the parties claiming she inheritance of the estate. The
broker has been applied to, to surrender it, but he al-
ledges his right to the same by purchase, and honestly
withholds it, in the expectation, it is supposed, of some
pecuniary gratuity for its relinquishment.
The stake of 100 guineas was made good on Thurs-
day, for the battle between Dutch Sam and Medley. This
match, which will excite as much interest as any that
could be made, has been spoken of these two years
Sam never yet lost a battle, amongst all the good men
he has combated, and he is justly considered a prodigy
I among fighting men. Medley is a tradesman in the
Borough, of whom report speaks highly as a resolute
scientific man. He is two stone heavier than Sam,
and he is also a favourite.

EX-IPARTE IBUSSEMAKEgy &C t 24 MATTER OF VANDER

itovat,r.

Mr. MATIN for the petitioners, all of whom resided
in Holland, stated that they were creditors to the
bankrupt John Vander 4oven, in vai ions sums to a
considerable amount. They tendered their claims
before the Commissioners, but were refused to be
allowed to prove, on the ground of their being alien
enemies. They then applied to Lord Erskine, while
Lord Chancellors producing evidence that the greater
part, if not the whole of them, were creditors of the
bankrupt for goods imported into this country under
the sanction of licences granted by his Majesty; in
consequence of which his Lordship ordered the claims
of the petitioners to be allowed, and a sum of 9s. in
the pound of the respective debts, being to the same
amount as had been drawn by the other creditors of
Vander Hoven, to be set aside for them, to abide the
issue of their application. These debts amounted to
a sum which produced £3636 stock, which was
placed in the name of the assignees to answer the
claims of the petitioners. Feeling themselves en-
titled to recover these debts, which they had allowed
the bankrupt to contract under the faith of thee Royal
Licence, but being at the same time, given to under-
stand that the consent of the Treasury would be ne-
cessary to insure them recovery of them, thej presented
a memorial on the subject to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, to which a favourable return was under-
stood to have been made. The present application
was, therefore, now made to his Lordship, for an or-
der on the assignees to pay over to the petitioners the
sums applicable to their respective debts, now stand-
ing in the public funds in the names of the assignees.
The Learned Counsel was aware, that the whole of
the petitioners had not yet shewn that the debts due
to them were for goods sold under his Majesty's Li-
cence ; but, he did not desire that the order should
extend to any who did not prove this fact, and receive
a certificate to that effect from the Treasury. That
the assignees consented he should produce evidence in
the hand of the Secretary. The application had been
intimated to the assignees, and they did not appear.
Mr. MITFOItD appeared, and consented on the part
of the Treasury.—Order granted.
