TUESDAY, MARCH 2.

This day the Right Hon. Sir WILLIAM Scorr
proceeded to the adjudication of the following
caufes

General Major Walterfdorff, Thaarup Mailer.
This was the cafe of a Danifh Ihip, laden with a'
cargo of coffee, fugar, tobacco, and various other
articles, bound on a voyage from Curacoa to Al-
i lona, which was captured on the 3oth of May, 1798,
by his Majefty's'fhip Stork, and carried into Cape
'Nicola Mole.—lt appeared that the !hip and pre-
fent cargo were claimed as the Pole property of
the mailer; that it was purchafed with the proceeds
of the outward cargo, which amounted to between
13 and 14,0001. It farther appeared, that the !hip
and outward cargo were purchafed at Amfterdam.
It was fubmitted on the part of the captors, that
this kind of tranfaflion, namely, the Mailer pur-
chafing this Dutch fhip and cargo at Amfterdam,
and going to a Dutch fettlement ( where he re-
mained for upwards of 20 months) ought to be
confidered as a Dutch tranfaetion, and that in point
of national charadcr he was to be confidered as a
Dutchman, and therefore this property was fhb-
jell to confilcation.
The Court, after hewing the Counfel on the
part of the claimant, direacd further proof to be
produced as to the property claimed.
Tanner's Delight, 13enfon, mak r.—Welvaaren,
Schultz, matter.—Thefe two cargoes were claimed
as. Americanroperty, and the Court being fatif-
fled with the fuJurther proof, restored the fame.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 23.
TEVY V. BUTCHER.

Mr. Tcvy lives in Reeves's Mews, South Aud-
ley-flreet, and brow ht this aaiow agtinfl Mr.
Butcher, tenant of the adjoining houfe, for a nui-.
lance. The ATTORNEY GEN Elt•i. was Connie' for
the Plaintiff, and after laying down the law upon
this fubjed, proceeded to Rate that the Defendant
having about three years ago rented thefe pre-
miles, had converted them into a daughter-houfe.
They had foimerly belonged to a coach-maker,
and of courfe did not in any degree annoy the
neighbourhood. Now they had become an into-
le-Able nuNance. The Plaintiff living next door,
h iwever, was the principal fufferer. and his honk
had teen rendered alma uninhabitable. Thofe
who were within it were offended with the moll
littriltrahle Rena) ; the whole building fhcok during
the operation of the flaughtering, and the groans
of the dying oz were dikinaly audible. The Jury
would no doubt fee that the comfort of the Plain-
tiff had thus been mutt effentially invaded, and
that the value of his tenement had been materially
impaired. The law therefore would require them
to find a verdiil for him with fuch damages as
would infure thciMmediate redrefs of his wrongs.
The principal witneffes were two fillers-in-law
of the Plaintiff and his Maid-fervant, and they, to
be cure, agreed in giving a very terrible reprefen-
tation of their diccUmfort from this fl: ngliter-houfe
of the Defendant's.

Mr. ERastya made a very able fpecch on the
o:her fide. His potations were, that this was a
trade which might be carried on in a great city ;
that Reeves's Mews was a proper part of the town
for the purpofe of carrying it on, and that the De-
Tcudant had carried it on there in the tuna cleanly
and inoffenfive manner. He concluded by laying
it was a melancholy refieaion that the deftruelion
of the inferior animals &Mild be necttfary to our
fubfiftence, though they foifered lefs than might
be imagined from PROVIDENCE having kindly
rendered them incapable of all anticipation of the;
future. But fince the neeellity was unavoidible,
fqueamithnefs and exceffive delica:y were no to
be indulged. If Mr. Tevy's fentations were fo
acute, it was indeed wonderful that he Mould have
taken a houfe in this fituation, where he was fur.
rounded by dunghills, andhad a varititer's fhop
on One hand, and a tallow-melter's on the other.

Nineteen w. itneffes were ealled, and aisong them
abnolt all the inhabitants of the Mews. They laid
that they were not at all inconvenienced by this
?lonic; that in its former Rate k was more offen-
five, and that it was uncommonly well concluded,
and generally kept as dean as !syarlour.
Mr. Jußice Lev/statics anted ERSK taz,Whe-
ther, in the event of the jury finding a verdiet for
the Plaintiff, the Defendant would enter into a
Rule to abate the Nuifance

Mr. ERSKINE fold, he did not admit that aver-
diß thould be found againft his Client at all, and
that it would be time enough to talk of that after
the Jury should find filch a verdid.
Mr. Juilice LAWRENCE Paid, it was material to
knew this, becanfe the Defendant nrip,.ht, perhaps,
continue the nuifiince, and Rand another action, if
the damages were nominal; whereas, if the Jury
found that to be his temper, and fuppofing the Jury
to think that this nuitance ought to be abated, they
might confider of it in the damages they would give.
The Learned Judge [notated up the evidences and

{confirmed the Ruleof Law as laid down by the
I Attorney-General. The witneffes for the Plaintiff
had pofitively fworn to fats which, moft undoubt-
edly, created a nuifance. They mutt be perjured,
if this place was not a nuifance.—On the othci
hand, there were many perfons who had not en-
dured this, who gave their opinion that it could
not be fo. This was opinion again!' fat, and very
likely confcientious opinion, for what was a nui-
lance to the nerves of one man, might yield delight
to another; for he remembered Lord MANSFIELD
laying, that a huntfman fwore, once before him,
he thought the fmell of a kennel of hounds as fweet
as a bed of rotes, and no doubt he thought fo ; but
it was not what a few individuals might think, who
were accullomed to fcenes which mankind in gene-
ral difliked—thefe things mud be decided by the
common feeling of the mats of mankind. The
Learned Judge took occafion to obfct ye, that there
was a material difference betwun muck which was
in Mews, and about dables, and which WAS never
fuffered to remain long,and that of erecting flatigh-
ter-houfes in the neighbourhood of fouares, &c. &c.
. The Jury found a verdit for the Plaintiff ; when
*Mr. Easxtas faid, his Client would conlent to
make Each alterations and arrangements as might
make the Plaintiff's fituation comfortable to him,
&c. ; which was agreed to, and it was left to the
Foreman of the Jury to fay what that shall be; fo
that the Jury were not called cn to fay what da-
mages they would give.

A pennyworth of liquorice ball, boiled in half a
pi,nt of vinegar, and rendered palatable by brown
fugar or honey, has been found highly efficacious
in the colds fo general at prefent; a tea-fpoonful
thould be taken on going to bed, and a (mall quan-
tity as often as the cough is troublefome.
On Sunday morning at fix o'clock, as one of the
patroles was hanging up his piftol at the Watch-
houfe of St. Saviour, in the Borough, it went offs
and {hot the man through the hand. The flog
then penetrated the upper part of the head of a
boy, and lodged near the jaw-bone, and ano-
ther of the flogs wounded a woman, the mother
of the boy. They were all taken to St. Thomas's
Hofpital, the boy without hopes of recovery. It
is aftonifhing that the repeated accidents arifing
from loaded fire-arms, will not make people more
careful, particularly fo in this cafe, as the patroles
have ftriit orders to take out the prime every
morning.
The Redester are very brilliant this year at Vien-
na. At a late one, given in the beginning of laft
month, a groupe, reprefenting Apollo and the Nine
Mules, preceded by a Hercules, attracted much no-
tice. Their Majellies, being now out of mourning,
honoured it with their pretence. A beautiful Parts,
in a mane, prefented the Grand Duchefs of Tits-
CAN Y with a golden apple, and, after whifpering
fomething in her car, difappeared in an indant.—
Her Majefly ordered fcarch to be made for the un-
inoeurs, and that he fhould be forced to iinmatie.—
The firft fcivant in waiting fearched every part of
the Hall, but in vain. The Officer of the Guard
had feen him go out, and had addrefred the cha-
rafter in French, Italian, and German, but re-
ceived no anfwer. On opening the appl.-,the Grand
Dnchefs found in it a superb watch, with the fol-
lowing device : " Paris adjudged the apple to the
molt beautiful; I give it to the belt." Meanwhile
her Highnefs was extremely uneafy, and declared
aloud, that, unlefs Paris came to reclaim his ap-
ple, the thould fend it to the Police. She learned
(non after, that it was her mother, the Queen of
NA rcts, who had aiiiimed the charaiter of Paris,
and prefented her with the golden apple.
Tuefday fennigh., about eight o'Jock, three
young men were going along Cheaptide, arm in
arm, incommoding every perfon, by occupying the
whole breadth of the toot pavement. Mr. Can-
' nor,City Mal (hal, feeing their conduit, remcnftrat-
ed with them, at the tiirtie time telling them who
he was. One of them (truck him a vii lent blow
in the mouth ; for this outrage he was fecured,
and lodged in the Compter. Next day, refleiting
on his behaviour, he entreated forgirenels of Mr.
Cannor, which was granted on condition of pub-
licly afkinz, pardon, which he readily agreed to,
promifing not to offend any other perfon in future.,
A fimilar affa:r took place laft week. A failor,
half feas over, teeing three young bucks walking •
towards him arm in arm, in the Minorics, who
took up the whole of the footpath, he flood ftill,
and fwore a volley of fea laths that he would break
their ranks before they Ihould pats him that was.
When they began to call his conduit into queftion,
without further ado he began to deal out heavy
blows amongft them, and in a trice drove them
into the middle of the street, knocking them down
one after another, much to the fatisfailion of the
beholders, and at laR compelled them to feek for
fafety in flight.
In the Johana, TATE, from Selby, loft near
Brough, fix of the crew and paffengers were refcu
td from being drowned by the uncommon exertions
of Mr. Ext.'s, of Brough, whore generous and hu-
mane conduit on this occafion deferves the highett
encomiums—perceiving the dangerous fituation of
the veld, which had grounded, and lay on her
beam ends while the tremendous waves broke con-
tinually over her, and no refource feemed left for
the crew, who were hanging in the !broods, nearly!
perifhing with cold, Mr. Ettis took a horfe and.,
cart down to the water fide, furnifhed with ftraw:
and blankets, and fent to procure medical affift-
ance in cafe it thould be wanted. He then boldly
entered the water up to the neck, reached the vet-
fel, and extricated one of the almoft exhaufted fuf-
ferers, with whom he made for the (bore. This
perilous fervice he adventured fix times; and on
the fixth vifit, while endeavouring to releafe an old,
man fu(pended on the Ihroods,and in great agoniesi
one hand of the latter, which he had juft fet at IL!
berty, feized him with a convulfive grafp, while th
other arm was entangled in the rigging ; in thi
dangerous fituation, unable to extricate himfelf,lm
was obliged to call for fuccour, which was happilyi
affordedlaim by one of the fpeitatorsfrom the beach;
through whofe affiftance he reached the land, witti
the old man in his arms. Another of the crew now
fell from the rigging, bat Mr. Etzts was too far ex,
6aulic4l to pa nut his making any (who' attempts.
