Daring the invefligation of fame of the cafes which
came before the Court on Tuefday laft, opportunities
occurred for the difplay of wit and humour, as well
as zeal and humanity, among the Gentlemen of the
Bar. Jull'as one debtor was about to be difchapg•

obferved that the “ fcmde attachment bad nearly
been fatal !"

On WedneMay evening as the Right Honourable

which the delivered to him immediately, and inform-
ed him that the had paid half a crown for the infur-
ance of a guinea. On this his Lordthip enquired for
the proprietor of the office, and alto for the perfon.

pointedly rebuked, and allured them they thould be
feverely punithed. We underhand the woman has

Coae, Sarr. 28.—A Purvey has been lately made
of-our harbour, which we hope may be f-flowed tip
by meafures for convening fo noble and capacious a
place, to objelts of accommodation to the naval ler-
vice, and of real flrength to the Empire at large.—
When it is undertiood that thirty line of battle Dips
may lie in ordinary in the Ealt Channel of Cove
harbour, without interfering in the fmalleft degree
with the Commercial (hip ground of the harbour, it
will be regretted that fuch capabilities have lain fo
hong utiles. •

WATERFORD, SEPT. 26.—This city has, we under.
Hand, been lately vifited by a perfon whole real name
we are ignorant of, but whole fpecious addrefs has
deceived reverel of our ref-pet:fable merchants, and
induced them to credit his reprefentatinns of being
the fon of a Gentleman of confidet able property in
the county of Tipperary. Under this slitguite, he
has pared feveral bills, apparently accepted by opu-
lent merchants in Dublin, one of which has been
lately returned as a forgery, and the others are all
fulpeffed to be of limilar fabrication. He firfl call-
ed. as we are informed, at the houte of a relpetflable
timber merchant, and inquired Olt fidbres cars Wert
arrived f on being anfwered in the negative, he men-
tioned that they were coming for timber, on which
he was mired to walk in and take fbare of a family
dinner: he accepted the friendly invitation, and his
converfation was fuel. as effeehtally impofed on un-
forperSing bofpitality. He pi:rebated feveral pounds
worth of timber, and gave a pretended Dublin ac-
ceptance of col. in payment, receiving the difference.
—He then sifted another timber yard, and having
made a (mall purch.tfc, accommodated the firm with
another Sol. fiainos fectirity, receiving in exchange
For the Defiance an excellent draft on Dublin—which
on being pallid a another !unite, induced another
5cL negotiation. It is a pleafent eirctinfitance (or
thofe gentlemen who have thus fallen viefims to their
fimplicity, that the (urns for which they have been
relpedively take is, are fo very trifling; indeed,
perhaps, filch deceit may ultimately, prove beneficial
by inducing keener invelligation into the chatatfers
of perfons In very accnmplilhed in rail:7 the wind.—
The tuccefsful impollor we have alluded to, we un
deritand. converted the fruits of his impudence and
ingenuity into a bill on Briflul, and failed with the
tint fair wind that blew, after the tranfaflions we
have mentioned, having &ft complimented an emi-
nent linen-draper with his cottons, and favoured him
with a fpurious bill for 25 guineas in payments
