Yeflerdat, if the Common Pleas, the SpeciA
Verdi'd in the cafe of Lord Ilelfon .v. Lord St.
Videertt, w.ts argued. The catt';: aCion was
prize-ma:le^, proceeding from a capture made by
I a frigate of the Mediterranran fquadron, after
! Lord St. Vincent had left the fleet and failed for
England ; the fleet was aChially under the com-
mand of Lord igelr:7n, when the capture was
road!!. Oa the part of Lord Nell n, it was eon-
tended, that the inilant Lord St. Vincent quitted
the ('zee, the Admiral who commanded it was en-
titled to the Admiral's Share of pi iLC money. On
the part of Lord St: Vincent, it was replied, that
there could but one Commander in Chief of a
lquadron ; and that till Lori St. Vincent refigncd
the command, or was fimerfedcd, the refpontibi-
lity 4: that lunation, and the profits, belonged to
him, and were not affeEted hy his returning to
England far his health.—The judgment that the
Court arc to give in this caufe trill he uponthe true
conftruition (which is dilpitted) of certain words
in the proclamation regelating prize-money.

COURT OF KING'S lIFNCH, MAY
This morning the Grand Puy for the cO•tnty of
Middlefet was fworn in, and received a long and
eloquent Charge from Mr. Juilice Gitos E. Hay.
ing dwelt upon the Wettings we were likely to dc- •
rive from the peace, he turned their attention to
thofe nuifances molt calculated to impair our corn.
flats at home. He pointed nut as °lves particu-
larly worthy of their attention, thewmen and bal-
lad•fingers, who coiled mobs in the streets and
annoy the paffengers.

CLARK, ESQ.:. V. JACKSON.
This Allion was brought by Mr. Clark, who is
Chamberlain of London, againa Mr. Jackfon, a
horfe dealer near Portland-place, for having fold
him, as found, for i 261. a pair of coach horfes,
one of which had a rand crack. Of the warranty
there was no doubt, and the only queltion was,
whether it had been fulfilled It appeared that the
fale took place on the 6th of Apt il, r. Some
marks of difeafe were then pointed nut on the
horfe's hoof, but the Del'eislant laid that if they
produced any unpleafant confequences, he would
take him back. The horfe went pretty well tor
nearly two months-, but at the end of that time he
became lame ; never, however, In had as not to be
able to do his work. The Defendant cff.red to
take him back upon condition of receiving a gui-
nea and a half a week for the time the Plaintiff
had ufed him. This offer was refuted, and Mr.
Chaml,erlain Clark waited till the horf.: fhould be
fa bad that he might clearly maintain an a.flien.
Accordingly about Christmas the land crack bunt,
and this action was brought.
For the defendant it was proved that the horfe
was quite found immediately before the fale; that
Come weeks after the fale Mr. Clark was in treaty
to fell him to another perton, and that he is nnw
mach better. Great ttrefs waslaid upon the length
of time that had been allowed to elapfe before the
:talon was brought, and upon the circumtlance of
the horfe having never been returned.
Lord ELLINKOP.OUGH laid, that when a man
found a warranty of this nature violated, he had
two courfes to take : He might tither return the
horfe and rcfcind the contract, or keep the horfe
and recover damages for the lots and inconve-
nience he had futtained. If a Gentleman boaght
a !nitre to go upon an urgent journey, it could not
be laid that he mutt either return him or fubmit to
go without any compenfation, if the hoile should
not be found to anfwer the defcription of the Yen-
der.—Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages 4cl.

Qpo WARILAN TO.
Mr. ERSKINE moved for informations in the na-
tore of .T.r,to IVarranto, calling on feveral Gentle-
men named in an affidavit, to thew by what au,
thority they claim to be Freemen of the City of-
Litchfield ? It was alledged that a Meeting was
held of the Freemen, and afterwards the majority
of them went away, under an impreffion that no-
thing was to be done ; but then it was thought
convenient to proceed, and accordingly they did
proceed, and admit thefe Gentlemen to the Free-
dom of the City ; and this was Rated to have been
quite irregularly done, and that in reality there
perfons had no right to their admiflion.—Rule to
thew cede granted.

BAIL BOND.

Mr. GARROW moved fora rule to Phew caufe
whxa Bail-bond, given in a certain cafe, fhould
not 6? delivered up to be cancelled, and that the
Parties should anfwer the matters of the affidavit,
and appear in Court at the time of (hewing caufe.
This he moved, on an affidavit, Rating that a
perfon, who is an Attorney in this aftion, who had
been on board one of the hulks Tome time ago, ap-
plied to the Defendant, and faid, " He had kept •
a gaming-houfe, and was fubjed to a penalty for
fo doing, but from which the Defendant (hould be
excufed, if he would give him (the Attorney) two
guineas." The Defendant would have nothing to
do with this Attorney, and told him fo, and or-
dered him to quit the houfe, which he did not fo
readily do as was defired, and the Defendant
timid him out, upon which the Defendant was
indified for an alfault, and having notice of it.
he appeared to take his trial at the proper place
for that purpofe ; when, to 'his alto:lament, in-
Read
of being tried for the ail-Ault, he was arreftcd
for a very large fum of money in an Aaion at the
fuit of a perfon to whom he never owed a !Ming,
nor had he ever any dealings with hint or this At-
torney ; but upon this arred he was, of coutie.
obliged to give a Bail Bond to the Sheriff before
he could be liberated, did Mr. GARROW fail, that
it was fir this fcandalous abufe of the procefs of
the Court that this Motion was made.

Lord ELLEN EOROUG H aflted, whether this Mo-
tion did not, in fome meafure, taL iotolueition
the right of bringing an A4tion, and trying the
merits of the cafe upon Affidavits, a thing which
the Court had repeatedly declined to do ?•
Mr. GARROw raid, it had occurred to hi% that,
fome filch obferration as this was likely to };Aire
been made, but the Affidavit in this cafe ne tived
all poilibility of any foundation for thq Aftinn
that the whole was a grofs and infamous fabric*,
Lion, for the pnrpofe of extorting money from the
Defendant.--Rule to thew wife granted.

crrsEr.

CHFLMSVORD, May. 15.—This morning was I
brought in a poll-cliaife from Northampton, and
fel lodgeJ in our 'jail), by the Rev. H. B. Du D•
L 6.V, one of his Majetiv's Juftices of the Peace for
this county (attended by lxlr. Pitmen, the keeper
thereof), Sirphen tee, the last furviving freebooter
of a G.uig who, on the night of the a tlt
of Dec umber • 795, forcibly entered the lone dwel-
ling•houfe of Farmer Gsour, of Manuden, near ,
Stortford, armed with various weapons,
and, after beating him with bludgeons, and com-
mitting other outrages in the family, nabbed him
with a butcher's knife on di temples for refuting
to (Rower where his money was; this Lee being
prevented from cutting the old man's throat b
his niece providentially interpofing her hand, which
received the wound. They then rifled the boo fe
of money, plate, and other property, to a confi-
derable amount; and, after fitting down and re-
galing themfelves for Come hours, they let the wine
and beer about the cellars, and went off with their
brpity. The major part of this defperate gang
were apprehended Coon after the perpetration of
the bdrglary (nearly fix years ago) at their
monthly rendezvous, by night, in St. Giles's, by
the above Magiftrate, affifted by a party of Offi-
cer from the Bow-ftreet Police, and were executed
at this place, amongft whom WAS a brother of the
prefent prifoner. S. Lee, who is a clever, aftive
4Pitow. has, from that time, contrived to evade
the purfuit of juttice by a perpetual itinerancy in
diflant counties, till a few days fine, when he was
difcovered by the following circumftance having,
in confeytence of a quarrel, fought a fuccefsful
battle near the fame farmer's, in Northampton-
fhire,with one of the gang of gypfies to which he
Lilt belonged, the brother of bis antagonift, in a
spirit of revenge, declared him, to Come perfons in
that neighbourhood, to be the Lei concerned in
the Eire: robberies. Information being received
of this by Mr. DODLLY from one of the treafurers
of that county, he went down to that place on
Friday lab, taking with him the keeper of our
gaol, and the defperado being loon identified, he
was fecund in irons, and brought here as above
Rated. Fanner GROUT, and his niece, being
fummoned, (wore pofitively to the prifoner, who,
however, confidently denied all knowledge of the
tranfattion, until the venerable old man, taking
the large knife from under his coat, pr Tented it
to him, and anted him, 44 Whether he recolkaed
the barbarous ufe he attempted to make of that
inftrument r' On which Lee changed counte-
nance, and made no other reply. He was fully
committed, and will take his trial at our next
anizes, to the general fatisfaltion of the inhabi-
tants of this county.

SINGULAR PRISENT.—After the celebrated bat-
tle of the Nile, fought on the tft of Auguft, t 798,
the SWITTSURP, after the action, was bufily em-'
played in getting up pieces of the wreck of l'Ori-
cot, among the rest, a large part of the mainmaft
Was brought on board. Captain, now Admiral
HALLOWELL, caufed a coffin to be made of the
wood and iron from this malt, with an infcription
on the lid ; this he prefented to Lord Nscson,
who received it as a molt t!aluable acquifition, and
actually intends, when his career of terrellrial glory
is terminated, to be enclofed in it.
The following curious circumftance took place
lately, at Liverpool. Three feamen, difcharged
from the navy, returned to that port, and after
fume enquiry. dikovered a lady, who was wife to
each of the three—but, unfortunately in the pof-
feflion of a fourth ! The hufbands found them-
felves in a very ftrange dilemma ; but as what had
been done could note undone, they agreed upon
a plan which was to decide all future controverfy.
The fair-one was led to a public place, in a halter,
to be fold to that hufband who should fet the higheft
value upon her ; and, in a few minutes, the was
knocked down to one of them, at five fhillings and
fispence ; to the entire fatisfaflion of the other
three, and the high entertainment of the populace.
Lean cattle fold high at Lancafter file on Sa-
turday k'nnight : fat cattle were famewbat lower.
There were but few horfes, which fetched good
prices in general. At the cheeft fair on Monday,
the prices were from 575. to 635. per cwt.
An elderly man. of the name of Thomas
Whool, was knocked down by a bull, in the fair,
in Lanc.itter, and trod upon in fuck a manner as
to cattle his death in a few hours after.
On Thurfday fe'nnight, at noon, a fire broke
out in the woollen manufactory of Meirs4layward
nod Co. at Wilton; and the wind being bra, the
building in which it broke out was burnt. with a
confiJerable ltock, and two or three (mall houfes
adjacent.
