the capture of the French National corvette Lynx. (one of thofe
which efcaped from Sir Samuel Hood's fquadron) by the boats of
that fhip, under the command of Lieutenant Coombe. When it is
taken into confederation the fatigue of fo long a row as the boats'
crews had before they came up with the enemy, their great difra-
rity in numbers, their having to attack a man of war under fail,
completely prepared for their reception, and their perfeverance in
the attack, without a chance of fupport from the Blip, after being
twice repulfed, I may fafely fay that more determined bravery has
not been fla, during the war. While I admire their gallantry, I
muft fympatbize with the friends of thofe who fell in the action
In the death of Lieutenant Henry Walker,who was fome time ago
promoted from this (hip, the fervice has lot a moft promifing cffi-
cer. Lieutenant Coombe's conduct fptaks for itfelf ; although to
had before bit a leg, his activity in the execution of his duty has al-
ways been remarked ; itt this action he received a fevere, and I
fear a dangerous wound, in the thigh, above the former amputa-

His Majefty's Ship Galatea, Coatt of Carnes', Jan. 22.
Sir—Yelerday morning we difcovered, from the
malt head, a fail in the S. E. leering for La Guira,
and foon compelled her to another courfe foi'Barce-
lona ; about noon it was molly calm, when fhe
appeared to be a man of war, and, by her manoeuvre,
an enemy ; the had now the advantage of us by a
breeze, and with her lofty flying fails, and (weeps,
was leaving us fait. At two o'clock her top gallant
fails were fcarcely above the horizon, but in a fitua-
lion between the fhip and the coal that fill afforded
me hopes of her, by co operation of the boats ; they
pufhed off, under the diredion of the Firft Lieute-
nant WILLIAM COOMBE, manned with five officers,
fifty feamen, and twenty marines ; and, after rowing
about twelve leagues, in. eight hours, (part of the
time under a burning fun), they came up with her,
going, with a light land breeze, about two knots ;
having fifa hailed her, our brave fellows inflantly at-
tempted to board on both quarters, but by the fire
of her guns, which had been all trained aft in readi.
nefs, and having to combat, under every difadvan-
tage, with more than double their numbers, were
twice repulfed by them. The boats now dropped,
and poured through her Rein and quarter ports a de-
flrnetive fire of mufcrietoons and final arms, that
cleared the deck of many of the enemy, who were air
crowded aft ; when, after an arduous ftruggle, (a
third tint:) for a footing. our men willed aboard, and
in a few minutes drove all before them ; the bow-
fink and jib boom were covered; fume flew aloft,
and others below ; the Captain and moll of his offi-
cers were lying wounded on the decks, leaving the
remaiader of this handful of men in proud poffeffion
of the French Imperial corvette, le Lynx, of fourteen
twenty four pounders carronades, and two long nine

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

llHRiurrs COURT, APRIL tr.

Ft r' O. Wsvaamoosa.—The Plaintiff is a
roach-mailer, at Thomism% in Bellaire ; the De-
fendant is innkeeper at the White Horfe, Friday-
Itreet.
Mr. Lawns raid, that on the necalion of a wager
laid at the Inn of Mr. Waterhoufe, between the
-Plaintiff and a Mr. Holbrook, the Defendant became
the Rake holder of a depofit made by the Plaintiff t.)
the amount of too guineas. The terms of the wager
appeared on the face of the receipt given by the
Defendant,- which nosed. that " Mr. Edward Fro-
moot did bet Mr. William Holbrook. the film of too
guinea., that he Fromont, or Come one for him,
would travel too miles in chaifet, and to be drawn
by buries, mares, or geldings, and only two of them
to be in fuch chaifes at one time. The journey to
be performed in fix fricceflive hours, and in the (pace
of r ne month from the date of the receipt. Fromont
to be allowed to chufe the grriund, and the number
of chaifes he thought neceffeit y. Holbrook betted
the contrary." This action WAS brought to recover
the amount of lurch depofit, Mr Fromont having
abandoned the wager, as illegal. The LeUrned
Counfel laid, that there were many cafes to Phew the
illegality of filch wager:, as in the cafe of " Zimenes
and Jaques" (6 Term Rep. 4 19), and of " Whaley
and Pigot." Bets laid on rates on the turf were
legal to a certain extent, as favourable to the im-
provement of one of the m ft ufeful animals ; but
bode races on the road were against reafon and po-
licy, as being r'earuetive of the animal, and dangerous
to the King's fubjeels
The Learned Coonfel then produced the proof as
to the depofit ; after which
Mr. Li.)varr, for the Defendant, (aid, that the
condition of the wager was to play or pay ; but the
Plaintiff cloak to do neither, and had therefore
brought this aclinn. It was true that races of this
defcription were illegal, and when they were laid,
the confidence was implied that neither of the parties
would take advantage of the arid rule of law. This
confidence, which with a man of honour was more
binding than Any mire legal obligation, the Plaintiff
had thought fit to abufe. Mr. Watcrhoufe, the pre-
fent Defendant, was only nominally concerned ; the
seal party was Mr. Holbrook, who would have to
pay what might be recovered. Mr. Holbrook was a
refpeelable man, who was only blameable for the
credit he gave to the integrity of the Plaintiff. It
was right that loch conduit Ihould be expofed, in
order that others might not ("offer from the like cre-
dulity. He hoped, that the Court and Jury would
perceive, that the depofit was made by the Plaintiff
upon an illegal contrail, and that, therefore, he was
nut entitled to the verdid.
After rew obfer nations from the Sheriff, who fig.
nified that they were not in a Court of honour, but
of law, a verdict was found for the Plaintiff—One
hundred Guineas.

OI.D BAILEY, APRIL 11.

Mr. Williams, late proprietor of the Swan with two
Necks, in LAti•lAlle, WAS put to the bar before ten
o'clock in the morning and arraigned on an indid-
ingot, charging him with having on the 29th of De-
cember, 113os, ailfulty, fclonioufly, and malicioufly
fet file to his prcmifes, with intent to defraud the
proprietors of the Globe and Sun Fire Infarance
Offices.
. biefrs. GUIVIT. Ptrcatau, and Bott.artn were
Counfel f r the profecution. The cafe, on the part
of the prifoner was tondueed by Mr. Seijeant Bast.,
Mr. Dancsy, Mr. ALIA', and Mr. Gums.
After a Aron opening by Mr. But.t.amo, Mr. GUR•
WIT. in a fpeech which !ailed upwards of an hour
and a halt, Rated the faits of the cafe, as he was
inflrult.e,d they would be fubflantiated by evidence
that would be adduced to the Court and Jury. Ac-
cording to, the prailice that has of late prevailed in
our Courts of Criminal Judicature, a model of the
prcmifes was produced, with upwards of one hun-
dred different apartments marked with the names or
numbers by which they svelte dininguithed, fo that
the July might be the more Ilrongly impreffed with
the idea of the different fituations in which fire was
found to have taken place. The Learned Counfel,
however, mon candidly obferved, that the principal
faits would be (worn to by a man of the name of
Trigge, who had been a fer vont to the prifoner. The
evidence of this man was to be received with caution,
as if he were an accomplice, though the Learned
Connie! had no reafon to believe that it was fo.—
This was on account of the certainly blameable con•
dna of the witnefs in having for a confiderable length
of time concealed his knowledge of the molt fufpicious
part of the fire. However, in the mon lenient
p,•int of view, as far as his tellimony was borne out
by other circum(lances, he would be entitled to full
credit with the Court and Jury.
M.. James B. Hall, Surveyor of the Sun Fire Of-
fee, ”. as then called. He proved that in the month
of 1805,. the prifoner was infused at the
Stun Fit e Office for 60001. In the December follow.
ing lie applied to have his policy made out for 90001.
hot that was not icnt home to the prifoner. The
Witnefs received a third policy from the hands of the
prifoner. This was done at the Globe Office for the
fum of 4.cc.-cl.
A good deJ of .irgnment then took place between
the Counfel on both tides, as to the power of the Di•
reo3rs to profeente, without naming all the proprie-
tors. But Lord L: t.zsisoitoto 14 obferved, that they
who fltlfetibed the policy were perfonally liable in
the fir ft innance. Sir Thomas Thenpliilus Metcalfe,
James Richard It:dley, and Sir Walter Stirling, had
finned the policy ; they were therefore anfwerable on
the one hand,and had a right to ptofe cute on the other.
- If an anion were to be brought tinder this policy
againtl any others but thole three, he Ihould direift
the plaintiff to be non-fnited.
Thomas 'Fr igge, who o as chamberlain at the Swan
with two Necks, Lad-lane, in December 00.5, noted,
that about fix in the evening a fire was difcovered in
a place called the wond-ronm, which waea garret
that was for lumber. This fire was not esta, ntnithed
until between ten and eleven at night. In about an
hour „after that -another fire was difcovered
room No. 27. Here, he Paid, the firemen of the Sun
Fire Office pulled out a candle tick from under the
hed. This fire was Coon extinguitbed. When all
all appeared to be fafe, Mr. Williams went to bed, at
bout half pail one o'clock ; but, between two and

three in the morning a third fire broke out—this was
at No. r 6; the firemen chopped down the door,
played their engines, and it was foot' eztinguifhed.
There was alfo a fire in NC,. 21, but it did very little
damage, and went nut without any thing being done
to extinguifh it. At four in the morning Mrs. Simp•
fon, the head chambermaid, and the Witnefs found
that a fmall clofet, of No. 66, was on fire; the lower
fhelf was all of a blaze. There was a bottle with
three or four, or perhaps five glaffes of brandy in it.
—the bottle was hot, and the witnefs tatted the
brandy. This fire appeared to have been occafioned
by (Mall bits of paper, the cinders of which were
then on the fhelf. The Witnefs extinguilhed this fire
with a piece of green baize that he found in the cup
board. He afterwards told his mailer, that if the
people at the Influence Office were to know of this
fire, his lantana; would not be worth a farthing.—
At his mailer's meet he fecreted the boards that
had been partly burned, and did not make the people
who came from the Fire Office. acquainted with either
of thefe circumffances until after he was difcharged.
He owed no enmity to his matter, and had never
threatened or hinted that he would accufe him of any
other capital offence.
Mary Simpfon, the head chambermaid, corrobo-
rated frame of the fails related by the lan witnefs ;
but flee (fated that in the clofet of No. 66, the wood'
was black and fmoaking, it was not in a blaze. She
did not fee Trigge mile the brandy, nor was there
any thing but draining in the
.bottle ; it was quite
cold when it was taken off the shelf. About the
months of May or June following, Mr. Williams de-
termined on uniting the places of chamberlain and
chambermaid together, fo as to make one perfon do
the duty of both ; he offered the double lituation to
the witnefs ; (he told Trigge of this, and he was very
angry. The fame evening he got x line and rule and
appeared tobe meafur ing dillances about various parts
of the horde ; he had a pen and ink and wrote tome.
thing occafionally as he went on.
Mr. Hall was again examined ; he (wore, that at
No. at, the place where the fourth fire was hated to
have taken place, the bed curtains had the appear•
ante of having been burned, and the glais of the
window was cracked as if by fire. The lines in a
crack, which was occationed by fire, was of a different
form from thole that were occafioned by any preffure
againit the glafs. He examined the prifoner,' and
took down his words, on the morning after the fire.
At that examination the prifoner omitted giving him
any account of the fire that had taken place in the
clofet of No. 66.
John Fletcher, who was, at the time of the fire,
head waiter in the priloner's hook, depofed that his
matter appeared to be extreme'y anxious about his
property ; he gave direilions to all the fervants,
about fixteen in number, fome to fecnre the moil va-
luable of his own property and the luggage of the
gentlemen who lodged in the home ; and on the fir ft
(lit-cowry of the fire he ordered all the affillance that
could poffibly be procured to endeavour t textinguifh
the flames, whilft a fervant was fent off to acquaint
the firemen of the accident.
Luke Bark, an under waiter, faw furniture remov-
ed from placer that were on fire towards No. 27.—
He heard his matter fay, " For Goo's fake do what
you can to get a fupply of water."
Mils Mather, a young lady who vifited the family
of Mr. Williams, heard Trigge infinuate, a short
titne before he was difcharged, that his mailer had
been guilty of a moll heinous crime, of a different
nature from that for which he was now tried. This
teflimony was corroborated by one of the fervants in

bad (creed three or four years as waiter, alto bore
tetlimony to the prifoner's honefly and good conduit.
Mr. Thomas Hart had fuch an excellent opinion of
the prifoner's honelly, that he took his premifes with
tire ft iendly view of giving them up to him whenever.

, ertions which he n:ade at the time of the fire to en-
deavour to ;et it extingnifhed. •
