AIIOtIST 16.

The Loan Cusses Lime this day raid, that he rollout
it impoffible to make any order in this cafe, without
farther inquiry. The verbal flipulati..n previous to
the marriage, that the portion of the mother &arid
be fettled on the children, am.)unted to nothing; nei..
ther did he think that the cafe referred to by Sir S.
Romilly, nor another cafe in ad Vefey, determined on
the fame principles, applies to the prefent cafe. The
decilion in both of thefe cafes, in the one by Lord
Hardwicke, and in the other by Lnrd Ken)on, went
(imply on this ground, that. at the limo of granting
the provifions in favour of their children, the fathers
owed no debts whatever. He had looked in vain for
any cafe in which it was laid down that the lolvency
of the father, at the time of granting fuch a bond,
was fufficient to give validity to it. He now called
on the Learned Counfel to point out fuch a cafe.
Sir Sam us I. Ross t i.xy admitted that he could point
out no cafe exatily in point.
The Loan CHANCELLOR laid, in this fituation. it
would be necelrary to afcertain whether the Ba -ikrupt
owed any debts in t 790, at the time the bond in
queftion was executed. The eaficft and leaft expen-
five mode of doing this was by affidavit. He, there-
fore, allowed the petitioner to file additional affida-
vits, for the purpofe of !hewing that the bankrupt
had no debts in the year 1796, which existed at the
period cf bis bankruptcy.

An elevated platform was tretted- on the lawn,
upon which one hundred and fixiy-three couple
danced at one time : the dancers minded of the ufual
motley groupe of ruftics. Although it has been ufual
for the Ductless to go down the dance with Colonel
Urrow, or fome other Military Gentleman prefent,
on this occaftou her Royal Highnefs declined to miz
in the throng, owing, no doubt, to the entente heat
of the evening.—Among the groupe of dancers was
a couple, both far advanced in years, who difplayed
as much eccentricity in their drefs a, in their ityle of
dancing : the lady wore flays a (*antique, with a riding
habit equally over; the gentleman and on a eau's-
flower wig of vast dimenfions, and a fniiif colt-tined
coat with stiff &ins : they were both unknown. It
was not until two o'cl' ck that the pealantry retired,
previous to which they had plenty of 'ma beef and
honse•brewed ale. Her Royal Highnefs looked very
well z the is grown rather mica? .int ; and was dreffed
in a plain white robe, with a Grecian hektl-drefo,
perfally fimple and neat.
