The Committee proceeded this day to the examination e!
witnesses t
Mr. WEITZ WM called to ptove the kit allegation, that the
pretended freehold tenures were only In Value the 149tith part
of half a crown.
A long discussion then took place among the Counsel, as to
the right of cross-examination' when after two eschutiortrof
strangers, it was finally resolved, that the Counsel far the SitMog
Members might crow-examine the witnesses in chief when the
ezaminatioo for the petitioners was finished. •
. Mr. UtotkenaT was then called, who proved, that Mr. Weis-

'1 he examination cloud at half past three o'clock tee the day.
The Committee met again yesterday and clunked
witnesses.
Mr. WARRRN took" occasion to complain'of the
publication of the first part of the proceedings in some
of the newspapers. 'the insertion of a mutilates!
statement, like that which had appeared, war unfair
Ito the parties whose names were mentioned in it, and
would be felt unfair in the case of any piivate indivi-
dual. When he spoke of the statement as a mutila-
ted one, he did not allude to any inaccuracies which
might be found in it ; but to give to the public such
a part of their proceedings was necessarily to give a
mutilated statement. 'The Committee 'must feel it
was improper, and he hoped before they affonrned,
grey would come to some resolution on the tfttbibtt to
put a stop to the practice.
Mr. M‘DotiALD was of opinion the wren= was
improper.
The Chairman, (M.. Alderman Andes). said, it
was probable that some Gentlemen were then pre-
sent for the purpose of taking notes of their proceed-
ings.' He had no doubt that their sense of propriety,
r they perceived the Committee were unfavourable
63 the publication of their proceedings at this time,
would effectually put an end to the practice.
Mr. WARMS expressed himself satisfied, and Mr.
Serjeant PELL proceeded to the further examination of
witnesses.

CHANCI3.-4 new Mode Of Adventure in tAe present
• Lottery. For only Eighteen Guineas you may pur-
chase the Chance of a Ticket, which will entitle the
Bearer to the Whole of any Prize above 825. As•
there are but 7000 Tickets in this Lottery, only 500
()f them can be issued in this way, the :cmaindes
will be sold in Tickets and Shares as ustiat The
difference between a Chance and a Whole Ticket is
this :—The Purchaser of a Chance gives up the mall
Prizes, and is entitled only. to the Prizes from £20,000
to £3O, which are, in fact, elle grand objects of all
Adventurers. The Act of Parliament does nor per-
mit Shares of Chances.

A philanthropist, who is a gentleman of the name
of Wean, appeared during last week in Norwich, I
and distributed a considerable sum of money in va-
rious amounts to the lower classes, almost indiscri-
minately. On Tuesday the yard of the Angel Inn
was so thronged by the poor, that it became neces-
sary to place two peace officers at the back and front
entrances. During the principal part of the day
Mr. W. gave to all applicants donations of ss. and •
7s. 6d. On Wednesday he committed various sums
to individuals for private distribution, and on that
evening his charities, divided in £lO, £s,•and El
notes, exceeded £lOO. He left Norwich for Yap.
.mouth, on Thursday, placing a considerabe sum
in a banking-house at the. former place. Many rd.
moursiAnd conjectures are afloat respecting the mo-
tives of this singular course of charity, and it is cur-
rent that £12,000 is thus annually distributed solely,
rwe believe, from motives of benevolence. ..
At a time of such general embarrassment as i
the present, it ritay be of importance to persons of I
every description to know ,that there is an Office esta- '
Wished, .where Money may be raised under every
kind of difficulty. These, who have unquestionable
means of repayment, may be immediately and cheaply
accommodated ; and those who can only present pro-
bable or possible resources for returning What they
wish to borrow, may, sometimes, be as quickly,
,thottgh.not so cheaply, relieved. The Nobleman or
Gentleman, who may have mortgaged or encumbered-
" Isis estates to their utmost bearing, may have means
pointed out to him, at this Office, of disentangling his
property—the Merchant, who-may have speculated
beyond his means—the Tradesman, who is prevented
' establishing or encreasing his business for want of ca-
phal—the ingenious Mechanic, whose inventions are
denied a trial, because he is without rrioney to bring
them forward—the Artist, whose genius is lost for
leant of encouragetneot—the Speculator, whose abi-
lities might be of importance to society, if he was
listened to and assisted—may be all relieved at this
Office, which is established for the purpose of regis-
tering their particular cases, for the inspection of mo.'
Hied men, who frequent this Office, to learn how they
may lay out their money to advantage ;. some of them
are satisfied with a ;rifling per tentage, but require the
most perfect and unexceptionable securities ; while
others, ofa more speculative temper, are disposed to
etnbark their, money in any thing that may promise
a more considerable profit, however uncertain and re..
mote. No-one, therefore, need despair of assistance
at this Office—the schemes and speculations of every
one will be heard ; and persons. having property, in
possession or expectance:, however involved, may pro-
bably be accommodated; if they can shew the 'least
chance of being able to repay ultimately what they
may borrow. Persons of confined income may here, by
sinking their capital, obtain a well secured annOity
for their lives, of nearly treble the amount of their
