COURT OV NG's LENCII, FEAR.

Mr. F.O sr. Is E ntove,.l for a Ctiminal informa
tine atzaintt two Magifirates, whom he did not
n tme, for corruption in their otTiee. in cm-.l,,nettitt:.;
a quantity of fpitits contrary to evidence. lie
mentioned this cafe on Vriday lall,but then :,ban
dotted hi. Rule becanfe he thought that th,
limits were legally conlemned, being over proof.
But finer lo:•king at the affidavit more attentively,
he thonglit it right to mention the cafe agair.--
'lle cafe was, that a I%lr. Slec, a liquor merchant,
had had a cluatuity of fpirits f...ind for not being
of legal proof, and having occa'ion to fend eleven
gallons M gin ot.t to a cullonier, he fent to the of-
ficer who Inrseyed it to :Wet:slain the ilrength.—
The officer, upon experiment, pronounced k to be
of legal flren.;th. It was,lw.wever, fciaed by
other revtatte oilkers, and %% hen the parties were
before the Justices egaintt whom the information
was prayed, the affidavits Dated, that they behav-
ed with the greatell partiality, condemning the
fpirits, though the fiwycyin,g officer, upon oath,
tried them before the Bench, and proved they were
of the legal trength ; and no evidence, upon oath,
was offered m anfwcr, but merely the affertions
of the officers who rcized them. Rule NY granted.
In the cafe of the King and Steventon, sshich
Rood for argument to day, on Arreft of J1.4,-
aunt, Mr. Erikine took Tome new °Nations, in
that the information did not date that the candies
wcre of Ilritiffi manufacture.

The Court fail, as Mr. ETC'CAC'S objeflinns
were new, that the Counfel for the Crown ought
to have tit:.: to confider them, and therefore poll-
poned further pruccedings to next Term.
The northern new trials occupied the reft of the
day: of thcfe the cafe of Sedley againft Frndfliam
was thy only one worth notice. The cireunillances
of this cafe have been repeatedly before the public,
tailing upon tare conftruftion of the Habeas Cor-
pus Aa. It was an aftion againft the goaler of
Liverpool, for rattling a copy -of the war.'
rant of commitment upon the following circum-
fiances : The Defendant, Sedley, with others,
was brought from Ireland in cuftody of one Shee,
under a warrant from Lord Caftlereagh, to be
delivered into the cuftody of the Court of King's
Bench. When he got to Liverpool he lodged
them in the goal of that city, kept by the Defen-
dant Frodfham. During their flay there, they
demanded a copy of the warrant by which they
were imprifoncd ; this was not granted, and they
had all brought feparate aftions again(! Frodfham
for the penalties impofed by the Habeas Corpus
Aft for fuch refufal. The cafe has been argued
feveral times, and contended by the Counfel for
the Drienttant, that it did not come within the

meaning of that Ad ; that FroJtham never had
a the warrant, and that it Ihould be proved to be a
warrant of " detainer or commitment."
The Court underaancling that another of the
had brought an anion in the Common
Pleas, which was reduced to a fpecial verdict, or-
dered this caufe to nand over, and abide the event
of the argument in that cafe; becaufe, in that cafe,
the fad was found that there was no warrant of
" commitment or detainer."

A letter from Philadelphia, dated January 8,

A letter from New York, dated January 12,

mentions that, previous to his departure, the ex-
pedition from France was the filbjeel of general

t!!•.! 11l • of Sky, hut more probably of Arran, as

At this time a woman in the neighbourhood.
named Nicolfon, finding herfelf pregnant, at first
arcufed an frifhman as the father oilier child, but
:•fterwards the accufed John Campbell ; but he po-
litively denied the charge, and was afterwards fo
tranfoorted with rage, that he laid violent hands
on her, and (truck her fo unmercifully as to deprive
her of life. After this deed, committed about 16
years ago, he fled inftantly to Campbeltnwn ; but
hearing that a party were in purfuit of him, he re-
turned to Arran in a !mall boat, which he took
away Itom Carupbeltonrn, and when he landed he
funk the boat. Having eluded, the avengers of
blood no lefs than nine months, three of which he
paired in a cave without ever teeing the light of the
titii, he efeaped from Arran, landed in Ayrfhire,
and afterwards went to Kirkbean near Dumfries,
where he found employment in hufbandry. After
paling feveral years in the fervice of different far-
mers,he came about four years ago to St. John's
Clauchan, pain of Dairy, where he purchafed
a feu, and was employed as a labourer for fume
years by the Minifter of the parifh, who at length
taking Offence at an incorrigible habit of fwcaring,
betides other immoralities, thought it proper to
part with him at Whitfunday laft,
Having no longer, it would kern, any 2W:in-
herit-ion of being deteaeJ, he ventured to com-
mence :thing as a carrier to and front Glafgow
and Kirkcudbright, till a ft W weeks ago, when
feeing two of his old acquaintances from Salteocu
at Glalgow, and one from Arran at liiirmtt-ne:k,
taking it for granted that they would 6ive infer-
mation where he might be found—one ofhis rldurs
having alfo, at the iitare time, come to Kilohn
flock to warn him, that, without changing the fcene
of action, he was in ;lunge:- of being immediately
apprehended asa murderer. Alarmed at the thought
of his defperate flotation,. inflead of endeavouring
to efcape from jullice, he teemed to be under filch
difquietude, horror, and remorle of confcienee, as
produced not only a bodily indifpofitioe., hut either •
a derangement of his mental faculties, (which, how-
ever, many of thofc who vifited him are not in-
clined to admit) or a deliberate and determined re-
folution to take away his own life; which accord-
ingly he effeaed in a manner too (hocking to relate,
on Sunday the 17th of January, z Soz, by wounding
himfelf with a knife in different parts of the body.
He confided the hiliory of the murder, and his
efcape from jaftice, to one man only, a native of
the Highlands, whom he font for in his inners, en-
joining, and making him promife, to divulge it
after, but by no means before his death, which he
(poke of as an event which would very loon take
place. He was twice married. His first tvife, by
whom he had a fon, (yet alive in the Tile of Arran,
about ; 6 or 17 years of age) died of a confumption,
induced, as is alledged, by het concern and vexa-
tion at the atrocious deed of her hulband, and its
difmal confequences. His fecond wife died only a
few months ago, by whom he bad three children.

On Wednefday evening, about ter. o'clock, a boy,
who was apprentice to Mr. MARSH, cutler, in the
Park, Sheffield, fell into the coal it, now linking
near the Steam-wheel. He was fo brlifed that he
expired foon after being taken out.
A few days ago as two men, who were brothers,
were at work in one of the pits, at the Intake col-
liery, Yorkshire, part of the roof gave way, and
cruffied them Loth to death in the ruins. Their fa-
ther was at work in the pit at the fame time.
A letter from Plymouth fays, " A few evenings
fince, as abum boat woman was eroding the pat-
fage, with feveral other paffengers, a Cußom-houte
officer, rather intoxicated, proceeded, by virtue of
his office, to examine her far bladders of liquor,
but in fo indecent a manner, that a terjeant of the
Eaft Devon regiment interfered, and declared he
thould not ufe the woman fo rudely; on which
the officer drew a tuck fword, and ran the fer.
jeant through the lungs ; the boat fortunately was
near the those, and the poor man was conveyed to
the Devon regimental hofpital, bleeding mot} vio-
lently. He is iiill in great danger, and the cut-
tom ironic officer,is committed to goal to await the
Mite of this unfortunate event."

Thurfday morning, man, who had rapped,
flept, and breakfa(led at the Queen's Head, in the
Borough, apologifcd to the matter of the honk
for having left his purfe at home, propofcd the
waiter to go with him to the India Ilnufe, where
he Paid he had bufniels, and he would pay his dc•
mand. The waiter, according to his initruelicts,
(laid for him the greatelt part of the morning in
the pall-age, but the gentleman took care not to
return.—This is the third trick of the kind prac-
tiled by the fame follow. The era experiment he
made was on an cating-houfe in Sr. Mary Axe,
and the fecond on St. George's Coffee-houfe, where
he dined, and then accompanied the waiter to the
India.houle, where I,c bilkeJ him in a like manner.

burgh, and proceeded to an inn, the proprietor of
which was reputed rich; he ordzred flipper and a
bed ; his }load's gave tp her own to him, and lie de-
tired her to bring him fume pepper. Whilz the
wa4 an featch of what he required, a child
braved lfm (hake fume powder over the plate its

and informed the mother of the circumtiance. She
conceiving it extraordinary, procured the abfence
of the (ranger, by telling him his horfc had got
lonic. On his return Ile prefented him the plate
intended for lierfidf, and he cat the contents with-
out the 'call fufpicion—hc foon after fell down life-
leis, and upon lean:Ling him a quantity of arfenic
was found in his pocket, and a pi.lol. The piaci

TUE NEW PALACE AT KEW.—DdCliptiollS of
the old houfe at Kcw (as well as of the gardens)
have been repeatedly given to the public in books
which are almoll hi every body's hands. Kent was
the chief ar:ilt employed in the decorations; but
every thing etas on fo mean and petty a fcale, as
to (tamp the whole with the charaZter of inligt:ifi-
eance. The dwelling, with all its offices and ap-
pendages, is about to dilappear ; and the fpace
they have hitherto occupied will be thrown into
the garden, which thus, with the addition of fome
lately purchafcd adjoining tenements, will be con.
fiderablyenlargcd, and brought down to the wa-
ter Mt The old houfe, in which the PP.INCE of
.WsLas once relided, will be the laft pulled down,
as it forms at prefent a temporary refidence of his
MAJESTY, who employs much of his time in ob-
fel ving the progrcfs of the new manfion.
Within the wall which feparates the two gardens
of Richmond and Kew, at a Mort diftance to the
weft of the old honk, and at an equal fpace from
the River, the new refiJence is crating with great
alacrity. As it is now near being'covered in, a
tolerable judgment may already be formed of its
aid when completed. The ftyle of the building
is the Gothic caflellated. Its form is quadrangu-
lar, having large circular towers at each corner,
with cruller ones intermediately placed. Each
Corner tower is crowned with a cupola ; and the
central part of the building rifes above the reit of
the roof and towers. The doors and windows are
all fafhioned after the Gothic model ; the princi-
pal entrance being ft om the north, and facing the
River. The whole of the exterior, when fittiflted,
will be covered with Rum). The interior is to pre-
ferve the fame charader as the outfide, and will be
finifhed in a Rile of neatnefs and moderate expence.

In accommodating an ancient le of building
to modern purpoles of a domeflic nature, many
difficulties and inconveniences often occur. The
habits and luxuries of polifhed life, with us, differ
fo widely from thofe of our anceftors, that the
artilt mutt often find himfelf in a dilemma ; corn
pelled to choofe, between the faerifice of dile or of
accommodation, which are frequertly intempati-
hie. In our modern honks, cheetfultiels is lo
much dcfired, that they have generally a pretty
large .proportion of windows, of a ilifficient fize.
But in a Gothic edifice, upon the cattle model,
m;:ny large windows are evidently incongruous.—
At Kew,however, we find the walls perforated molt
abundantly with windows large and final'; which,
however neeelfary to the great end of comfortable
dwelling, and however cornet in their particular
formation, will certainly be found a conliderable.
diminution of the propofed effect. Indeed, what-
ever may be the novelty, fingitlarity, or merit of
the defign (confidered in itfelf), there is but little
that is appropriate in placing a cattle in a deco-
rated modern garden, containing not one feature,
either of nature or art, fuited to the manner of
the building. The entrance, it would appear, is
to be from a winding road to the River fide ; but it
would have been much better from the avenue of
• Kew-green; more adapted to the (tile of the houfe,
and the majelly of the great perfonages for ‘vhofe
refidence it is intended.'

From the lit nation of the new palace it will be
necelfary to take down a part at lealt of the wall
and to unite the two gardens, which will be no
fmall improvement.
6till the Fite is unfortunately chofen. Immedi-
atey oppcflte, on the north bank of the Thames,
are lonic of the worlt parts of the molt difagreeable
• village in En:;land; the back-fronts of the !mules
in Brentford ; and, what is worfe, they ::re on
much higher ground than that on which Kew houre
is built. Hence, from the entrance, the view is
fpoiled by the uglieft of objeds, which thould cer-
' tainly be fcreened. But this does not appear ca-
pable of accomplifitment, otherwife than by addi-
tional planting; the growth of which mull be a
wor?: of time. From the great western road, in
palling through Brentford, the fituation has a very
mean died, and feems deflitute of every thing that
lhould characterize the rural retreat of royalty.
Upon the whole, if criticifm be not ckemed as
yet premature, it may be obferved, that the new
honk is far, very far, preferable to the old one,
• :tnd has the merit of being uncommon; but it mutt
remain fubjedt to the difadvantage of incongruity,
:is to ;Is accompaniments, and of raeanners of
It-
tnation. There is not a villa of any note, on the
banks of the Thames, that is not better fituatcd
•
than the edifice now conftrueling at Kew for one
• of the refidences of the Sovereign.
