COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOV. 10.

MILLS AND BENSON V. slit TILOS. SLINGNBY, BART.
- - - -

Mr. Setjeant BEST stated this action to be briiught
by the trustees of Mt s. Burton, m ife of C. Burton. Esq.
to recover the value of certain goods, which the de-
fendant had taken in execution as Sheriff of York.—
The plaintiffs were appointed trustees, under the mar-
riage settlement, and her husband having a judgment
against him by some of his creditors, the execution
followed of course upon the furniture in the house in
which they resided. It so happened that the goods
thus seized, in value amounting to £7OO, woe the
property of Mrs. Burton, and consequently the credi-
tors of her husband could not legally seize them.
Evidence of the property, under the mat riage settle-
ment, and of the seizure and sale, were prochced. It
was also shewn, that the Officer who levied the execu-
tion was apprised of the circumstance of the property
being Mrs. Burton's, and was shewn the schedule.
Mr. Serjeant VaucataN, for the defendant, conten-
ded that the' heriff had done no more than his duty ;
and that even supposing the goi;ds were Mrs. Burton'i
property, yet that the money now sought to be rem
vered, had been twice paid over. If the verdict went
against the defendant he must pay it a third time.—
He had paid the amount of the levy to Mr. B.'s cre-
ditors, and the Collector of the King's taxes. had put ,
in a distress, and he was compelled to pay him.
Mr. Justice DALLAS was not satisfied that the law of
the learned Serjeant was quite correct, with respect
to the alms of the wife being liable for the husband's
debt to the Crown ; but he would reserve the point.
Witnesses were then examined to the facts stated
for the defence, and the Jury found a verdict for the
plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court on the
point reserved.

Friday lass, in the Court of King's Bench, Mrs.
llyot exhibited articles of the peace against Lieute-
nant General llyot, her husband, and several other
persons, for ill-treatment ; in consequence of which
an attachment was issued against the parties.
A few days since, three ruffians entered a farm-
house belonging to Mr. Boys, at Maminger, in Til-
manstone, Kent, and stripped and bound the woman
who had the care of it, with a plough trace, to a
chair; tied her hands and feet, and blindfolded her ;
they then rifled the house of money to the amount of
al Is. (id. a silver spoon marked S. L. G. about
'seven score of pork, and several other articles, with
which they made off undis:overed. The poor woman
was se seriously alarosedr that fears tie entertained of
fret recovery.

•
Bow7srnme.j—Chirles Chnndl r, a private belong-
ing to the firit battalinn of the First Regiment of
Foot Guards, applied on Saturday for, a warrant
against the coachman of Pascoe Grenfell, Esq. M.P.
for horse-whipping him on Friday night at Covent-
Garden Theatre. Mr. Grenfell came, attended by
his coachman, who Mr. Grenfell stated had lived
with, him npivards of eight years, and was a very
' stdd* quiet' Man. The coachman acknowledged
that he was the man who had the dispute with the
soldier, who stated that he ordered the coachman,
while waiting at the Covent-garden door of Covent-
garden Theatre, on Friday night, about 11 o'clock,
to back his carriage, to let a hackney-coach come up.
which on his refusing to do, he seized the off horse's
reins to force the carriage back, when the coachman
horse-whipped him. He admitted that the coach WAS
in the regular rank. The coachman, in his defence,
insisted that he was in regular place and rank, and
that there was no necessity for him to back his car-
riage, there being plenty of room for the hackney-
coach. He denied horse-whipping the soldier, and
said the strokes of his whip must have gone on him
by accident. The soldier, on the other hand, had
thrust his fixed bayonet, bet the thickness of his box-
coat capes prevented it from entering his body, and
he produced his coat to shew the effect of it. This
was corroborated by a groom who was sitting on the
coach-box with him, and he was discharged. The
Magistrate told the soldier he did not know from
whom he received his orders, but his ordering coach-
men to back their carriages was very improper, as it
was impossible to know the mischief it might give
rise to ; and soldiers shOuld recollect, that upon these
occasions they were but armed constables, and there-
fore the attempt at using the bayonet Was. extremely
improper.
Friday evening Mr. Fairbank, the auctioneer, of
Compton-street, was robbed of his watch, chain, and
seals, in the Two Shilling Gallery of Covent Garden
Theatre. Information of which was given to Do-
naldson and Godfrey, the constables belonging to the
Theatre, who endeav'oared to detect the robber, but
could not discover a suspicious character there. They
were, however, applied to by several persons to re-
move a man who had attempted several times to
throw a glass quart bottle into the Pit, and had en-
deavoured to thrust the neck of the bottle into the
mouths of those who prevented him. He had, in
fact, thrown several things into the Pit. On the offi-
cers endeavouring to remove him, he attacked them
violently with a bludgeon, and disabled Godfrey by
cutting open his hand, and it was supposed at first he
had broke two fingers ; the officers, with the 4SSlS-
lance of other persons, at length succeeded in getting
him out, although he fought violently. On Saturday
he was brought before Mr. EIRNIR, when he said his
name was Thomas Jones ; that he was a Gentleman,
and had been fighting for his b—y King and coun-
try. He ivas evidently a Naval Officer of an inferior
rank. He was ordered to find bail.

GAN MA NG Houses--In con.equence of an inflrma
tion that No, 27, Bury-street, St. James's, was a com-
mon gambling house for illegal games, the .officer s
went there on Saturday, and found a great number
of persons assembled, who afterwards attended at the
Office, and underwent an examination before Mr.
BMW. The Counsel for Oldfield, who was charged
with keeping the house, contended that the informer
had failed in proving Oldfield the master or proprietor;
and, therefore, that no penalty could attach to him.
The Counsel for the persons who were found in the
house contended that as no evidence had been called
to prove what the game of Rouge et Noir was, or
that any illegal game was carrying on there, or that
any of the persons found there was engaged in any,
they must be discharged, which was accordingly done
for want of evidence.

QUEEN:SQUAIM—Saturday Thomas Gray, of Great
St. Andrew's-street, Seven Dials, baker, appeared on
summons, relative to a quantity of bread seized on
his premises the preceding Thursday, by Gilln-.ore,
Pople, and Garner, three officers. Graf• was stated
to be it cheap bread baker, selling househohl as well as
wheaten, by hawking it about to the sound of a bell.
They seized 51 quartern, 72 half-quartern loaves, &c.
which were. deficient 259 ounces ; but atter deduct-
ing some overweight, the fine was for IS% ez. at the
rate of 2s. per ounce for the wheaten, and Ss. per
ounce for the household. The Magistrates on exa-
mining the household, said they had never seen such
vile stuff during twenty years' observation. Its smell
was horrible, a nauseous acid, and its look was even
more extraordinary, it appearing more like some
earth or clay than any thing else. Since the seizure
they had shean it to several respectable bakers, and
they all agreed in pronouncing it to be the most scan-
dalous composition they ever saw in their lives, but
they could not divine of what the composition consis-
ted. Gray attributed the circumstance to accident.
Penalty £25. ss. 6d. and costs.

RE .NOVA ra.) HEALTH.
IT has been too frequently the subject of just and
general reprobation, that men destitute of the elements of the
medical art have offered thens elves as candidates icr public pa-
tronage in the profession of Physic. For 'he purpos.t of doing jus-
tice to the result of our studies and experience, and to prevcut as
from being classed among those empirics whose impudent pre.
tensions have, unfortunately fur socie&y, been too favourably re-
ceived, we beg leave to submit to the liberal and enlightened, a
faithful statement of our pursuits and acquirements.
After having received a regular medical education, as the pupils
of Messrs Grindal and Blizard, *luxe lectures and practice we
carefully attended, as Professors aisd Surgeons of the I.ondln Hos-
, pital, we entered ourselves as students in that ju.tly eetehrred
school for medical acquirements' the Royal College of Edin-
burgh, and were instructed iss the different branches of Anatomy,
Surgery, the Theory and Practice of Physic, Chemistry,
Mid-
wifery, Botany, &c. &c. Sec by those eminent Professors, Drs.
Munro, Gregory, Black, Hamilton, Duncan, and Rutherford.
We trust we shall not be deemed presumptuous in laying, that
' our proficiency and acquirements are not incoustierahle.
