70 THE EDITOR OF THB STAR.

Worton Houk, near.lotworth, Nov. to, tBo6.

Sir—Conceiving as I do, that when a perfon is in.
volved in an unprecedented fituation which has called
forth modes of ailing not exaflly conformable to or.
dinary rules, he owes to the public and to himfelf an
.explanation of the circomftances, I requelt, through
the medium of your Paper, to fubmit the following
particulars :
I (ball not enlarge at this moment on the circnm•
fiances which have taken place, on important events
of public duty, between Sir SAMUIL HOOO and my fell,
as my addrefs to the Eledors of Wellminfier, publith
ed this day, fnfficiently fpecifies thefe trantadions.
I have reafnn to believe, that the hurry of public
bufmeti, and tome other circumffance•, prevented the
invelligation refpeding the affairs of Trinidad from
being returned during the laft Seffion orParliament,
and during the teeth.
Of courfe, when Sir SAMU IL HOOD came forward
as a Candidate for Wefiminfler, his connedion with
thefe tranfadions was by no means in the recolledion
of the public—on the other hand, his dillinguifhed
naval Cervices gave him in this point of view great
claims on the gratitude of his country.
My abfence from London prevented me from hav-
ing it in my power to Rate thecate in regular form,
befnrc the canvas for Sir SAM ulc HOOD commenced.

Under thefe circumftances 1 had no alternative,
but either to Rand degraded in my own cilimation,
by paffively (offering. the aggreffinn of Sir Samos'.
HOOD. while ailing in a civil capacity at Trinidad,
to pals unnoticed at a moment when he claimed the
honour of reprefenting the Metropolis ; or elle, by
the meafnres I adopted, to espole rnyfelf to cenfure
from a large proportion of refpeflable individuals in
the community.
Thole who know me ben, will admit that I have
upon all occafions difregarded perfonal conrequences,
when perfonal honour and charaler were concerned.
I could not helitate, therefore, which part to chonfe.
The erroneous (latements which have appeared in
many of the Public Prints have rendered it indifpen-
fable for me to publiflr, without farther delay, my
Addrefs to the Etc ors of Wellminiter, refpaling
the conduit of Sir SILDIVIL Hoots._

It only remains for me to add, that in a long and
expoftulatory communication. which I addreked to
that Officer on the a4th of May, 1803, I concluded
with the following word,

* I have now exprtfed to you in detail my fentimenta on fey&
• cal important ("dated& Your duty to the King clads from you
* explicit Ratements and opinions to his Majefty's Minliters, on
• thole parts of this letter which refer to public terrier.. 'the dr-
* cunittances which are of a nature perfonal to myfelf, require
facia an explanation, as in tome form or other, you know, and
" mull feel, is due to me. I mean loch an explanation a: may
* prove fatisfadtory to an °Seer and a Gentleman. To one, who
never intentionally committed an aggreffion—who through life
has proved liiinfelf to pdtfels a conciliatory difpofition, but veto
never did, and never will Infer improper expreilions, if applied
to him, to pafs unnoticed."
this communication I received for anfwer, that
Sir SAN 111. HOOO had tranfmitted my letter for the
coufidaration of his Majelly's Minikes.
I am, Mr. Editor,
Yoor faithful and obedient Servant,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF Kftloll WINCH, Sap. s.

sus gum O. TALMO'S I VI NCI.

Mr. PARKS hated, that the Defendant had been in
dined as fuperintendant of Stores and Proviflons to
his Majefly's forces in the Well India Mandy, for
certain offences committed by him in 1796.7 and. Si
and it -become neeeffary to him to apply ttk their
Lordihipt for a Mandamus, direaed to certain judges
in Barbadoes, Dominica, and Grenada calling on
them to tranfmit varinns matters already given in
evidence by General Maitland, the late Sir Ralph
Abercrombie, the Defendant's own clerk, and many
other perfons, whlnlt evidence was highly material
to his defence.
Mr. GAlloll4 for the Crown, Paid he had no ob.
jeftion to the motion, only he was afraid his Learned
Friend had defctibed Courts of Junice in the 'Weft
Indies which had no exillence. The Court granted
a rase whew caufe why a Mandamus Iliould not be
iffued.

roams .411tRIIT.

Mr. SCA.lair moved for a 1111!k to flew eartfey why
the bail bond given to the Sheriff of Middlefez, in an
anion, entitled O'Neal v Newell, Mould not be deli-
vered' up to be cancelled, and the Defendants dif-
charged out of cuftody on filing common hail. He
, grounded his motion, he laid, upon the peculiarity of
the affillavit holding the Defendant to bail. The
parties were both Americans, the Plaintiff raiding in
Prance and the Defendant in England. The Plain-
tiff, it alSreared, had made affidavit of hisdelit before
M. Bonami, a Magillrate of Paris, authorifecf to ad-
minifter fuch oaths, and this affidavir was accompa-
nied by that of another perfon refident in this cow i
try, who (wore that he knew the hand writing of Bo-
nami, and believed the fignature to the fiat affidavit
to be his.

The Court obrerved that it was a new cafe, and
they would take time to confider of it. It was alto
an important one, for if the affidavit was DOI admitted
to be good, it would prevent every man from getting
a debt due to him in a foreign country, tinkle he
attends in perfon to claim it :—On the other hand,
if the affidavit was admitted, it might be attended
with the moll mifchievous confequences, as any fo-
reigner might malicioully hold a tubjett of the realm
to bail, and the party have no opportunity of fuing
him for a vexatious arreft, he being out of the jurif-
diSion of the Court.
Lord E LLLLL cutotrou defired Mr. Scarlet to look
into the cafes upon the fubjett, and mention it again
to the Court on Monday.

GODDARD v. WHITMARSH •HD OTNARS.

Mr. Serjeant Liss applied to the Court for a role
to (hew clinic why a new trial Ihould not be allowed
in this cafe. It was an anion brought by the Plain-
tiff, an eminent cutler of Sheffield, againft the De-
fendants, for an injury fullained by him, in being
overfet in a nage coach belonging to the Defendants
by which the Plaintiff had his ()molder diflocated.—
The accident happened in the night. The Learned
Serjeant, on the part of the Defendants, fiated, that
there had been a great deal of conflining evidence
upon the trial, but there was no neglen imputable to
the Defendants, which could poffibly fubjen them to
heavy damages.
Itrappeared, that ota the evening when rhe accident
lappeneb, the weather was vet yrough and boiflerous
and that a quantity of fleet and fnow had fallen—
the coach was going on at a', regular and moderate
pace, and in palling a little bridge, over the Black-
water, near Bafingftoke, by Come means or other, it
went afide into a rutt, and was overfet. It was true,
that the guard blamed the coachman, by (wearing at
him, and declaring he was not qualified to drive a
jadafs, but the damages given to the Plaintiff by the
Jury, amounting to Viol. were eacellive, and infi
nitely beyond what the Plaintiff was entitled to. It
alfo appeared upon the trial, that the horfes employed
on this occafinn were young and fpirited animals;
and from all there fans, the Learned Serjeant con-
tended a new irk.) ought to be granted. He put
afide the cenfure of the guard upon the coachman,
as, front various motives, it was not entitled to any
credit.

Mr. Jualce LAWRPPICt afked, whether it was meant
to be contended, that the lives of pallingers were to
be hazarded, by younghorfes being broken in in draw.
ing vehicles for the accommodation of the public ?
To this queflion there was no reply.
Lord EssaeIIOLOUGH obferved, that thnfe points,
refpedling the young horfes, and the cenfure of the
guard upon the coachman, were all fubjett matter
for the Jury who tried the caufe. The diredion, in
law, by the Learned Judge, he conceived to have been
perfetlly correft, and therefore the Court could not
didurb Cu verdict that had been given.
Serjeant L►as, of courfe, took nothing by his mo•
tion.

SIMPSON II POTTINOER.
This bad been an aftion tried before Mr. nano
SUTTON, at York, on the warrantry of foundnefs
given to a horfe, fold by the Defendant to the Plain-
tiff. The animal not anfvvering the warrantry, the
fuit was commenced to recover the value. It ap-
peared in evidence, at the Affizer, that the difputants
are both Toriflire, and the objea in difpute
The plaintiff being in want of a horfe, went to the
defendant, a deller ; and after looking at a great
number, pitched upon the one in queflion, and
bought him as found, at the price of 571. As he
was leading him home, however, the Ycoltfitireman
began to fufped that he had bought an Irifi, bargain.
for the horfe, as the phrafe is, " hung a leg." He
took him, notwithßanding, to his (tables, until he
was more thoroughly convinced t and it was not
until fix weeks afterwards that be made up his mind
to return the /raw. But the Defendant was
rr rorifilat too ." and thinking he had taken in the
plaintiff, refuted to receive the horfe; and the ani•
mal was conduced to a neighbouring public bottle.
Here another native of the North took a fancy to the
both, and bought him for 371.
Mr. Serjeant Cocast.t.,:in fupport of the new trial,
laid, that where a decifion of a Jury was direflly
againft the evidence produced, the Court had made
lit a general rule to grant a reconfideration of the
cafe. The only evidence produced before the Judge
' to fubfiantiate the cafe of the plaintiff, was a farrier,
who timed, that the torte was fpavined ; and, on
the contrary, numerous witneffes were brought for-
ward by the defendant, to prove that no fuch ma-
, lady exified ; and among ethers, the very Feria who

ad pant afed him for 371. who fwo►►, that he never
few, or %tined to bare a Coottder bode.
, Lord ELL emanaottoo nblerred, thAt the direare
called a fpavin, was one which was (chicon-curable
and, therefore, if it elifted on the firft fate, it mutt,
molt probably, have culled at the recoils/ t and, as
witnefrea had depnfed that the hotfe was perfeetly
fund, the rerdift appeared to he contrary to the evi.
dente.—Rule to Chew eauCe granted.

COURT OF COMMuN PLEAS, NOV.
GMAT V. Newman.
Mr. Serjeant &fermium applied for a rnletnfhew
caufe why the verdifl in this cafe fhnuld not be fel
afide, and a new trial granted. The aainn aas
brought for a eonfidersble turn of m-ney. doe for
work and labour as a primer The d r fri n.
was, that the greater part of the account was for
printing part of a work which had neve -• ti di-
ed, or delivered to the Defendant t but wl.ich.
the paper on which it was to be printed, and which
had been fent by the Defendant, had bran c •••1••ni-d
by fire, before the Plaintiff quitted the poft:
of it. As to the other part of the account, a let if
was claimed, on account of paper delivered by the
Defendant to the Plaintiff, for the woik in quediors,
,and for other works to be printed fir him t which
paper the Plaintiff wet bound by the Offence of the
trade and by agreement with the Dr fendanr, 1 in.
lure. Whether he had infured the property or not, the
Learned Connie] maintained. having received snail.
from the Infurance Office, on accott.itr.lthe insurance
executed or intended to be executed by hi . , it s.
to tl a extent of the value of the Defendant's paper,
In much money had and received on his account and
for his own ale. There were aaually two queihnes •
before. the Jury—the one was, whether the Plain•iff
was entitled to payment for the work executed be
him, but not finithed, or delivered to the Defendant 1
The other, if the Plaintiff was not bound to infuse.
and, if he failed to infure, if he was not Rill refron-
fible for the paper fent to him by the Defendant, and
confumed by the fire ? In fupport of the firs of
there pofitions, the Plaintiff undertook to (hew that
the Defendant had kept the work longer in hand than
he ought to have done, and of courfe had transferred
the burden of keeping it from the Plaintiff to himfelf.
In this, however, he was fo far unfuccefsful that the
author of the work (wore that no improper delay had
taken place; that it was a work (Anacharfis' Tra-
vels) which necefrarily required fame delay ;•-.and
that the Defendant was not refponfible for any delay
which had taken place. That the Plaintiff was not
bound to infure the paper entrofted to him, he alfo
endeavoured to (hew, by adducing Mr. Stioadale, as
a witnefs to this effeB, and alto Mr. Braley, the
printer. So far, however, from (o porting the Plain.
tiff's cafe, Mr. Stockdale declared, that it now was
his praßice to infure, but, that it had not been In till
within thefe eight or ten years, when. having (offered
conhderably throngh Hamilton, the printer, who
had promifed to inflate his paper, who had failed to
do fo, and who was infolvent, he had refolved in
future to infure his property himfelf. The works to
which Mr. Benfley alluded, were alto works of great
value, being Macklin's Bible, and Bow y er'siHillory of
England, which it would have been ridiculous to Cup-
p& the proprietors Mould entruft to the infurance
of printers. The Defendant on the other hand, en
the trial, adduced in evidence a Gentleman t 3 whorls
the Plaintiff, fubreinent to the fire had (hewn his
pocket book, in which were infected the things he
willed to have infured, and of which the paper in
queftion was one. Alfo that the Plaintiff had in-
formed him that Mr. Day, of the Infurance Office,
whom he had fimpofed not to be his ft iend, had
proved the bell friend he had, in advifing him not to
fate in his account of lola, -the goods which he had
in bull, bet merely to Rate his own property In
thefe circumftarices, the Learned Serjeant conceived
there could be no doubt that the Court would grant
a new trial.

The Jury found a •erdia for the Plaintiff Fir the
whole wink performed by him, though not delivered
to the Defendant. And alto, that the Plaintiff was
not bound to iofure the paper entruaed with him by
the Difendant.

Lord Chief Juice MANITIILD was of opinion, 'n
the trial, that neither fide had come prepared with
the proper evidence. The Plaintiff had not fubfkan-
tiated, or rather had failed in proving. the two points
which he had willed to eltablifh. But yet the Do.
fendant had it in his power to have fubliantiated,
which he alto failed to do, the great point, that the
printers were the infurera of the paper cot' ailed to
them. The evidence of Mr. Stockdale, that printers
had promifed to him to infuse his paper, and had
not, in confequence of which he had become his own
infuser—fo far from feemiog to him conc 'trim that
loch infurance was not a burden on the printer,
(truck him in a different light, and teemed rather to
argue, that but for the want of faith which bookfellers
were, by experience, taught to have in the printers,
that was the rule of afting.
Mr. Serjeant Vauosaw laid, the Defendant could
not produce one folitary inftance of a printer paying
fuch a lob.

LORD Cesar Jurrica.—Neither can the Plaintiff
thew any inflance of a bookfeller paying for printing
work nor delivered to him, but burnt whilst in the
cultody of the printer.
The Rule was accordingly granted.

EPISTLES, ODES, AND OTHER POEMS,

RITRACT TROM ♦ NEW YOU PPPPP .

The good people of Virginia may remember, that,
tome time fence, this little Cock Sparrow of a long-
Rer, came hopping *Groff the Atlantic, to ring Ills
amours in the wilds of America. As we had teen
nothing of the kind In chirping and fo light,he was
much noticed and admired, and every one was de-
lighted to hear the little bird chirrup his Greek. He
could make rhymes on any and every little thing—
a note, an eye, a cheek, a curl, a lip, the tip of an
ear, a little fly, a flea, dr a gnat's tee end,• enchanted
him. He looked like a being born in a jelly glaf.,
handed round on a cake, fed on Lugar plumbs, and
educated among the dreams of fancy. The little
Spirit could hide himfelf under a lady's eye lath, and
expire with delight. In his Odes, he gets into a mil-
lion of fcrapes ; jumps from a tendril, hides in a curl,
lips from a lip, perches on a bofnm, tumbles from a
tucker, gets on the edge of many a precipice, with-
out falling over ; and to the mouths of dreadful ca-
verns, without tumbling ; always Gaging, fighing,
and evaporatingi; one would think he had a thoufand
fouls, charged from his elettric fancy, each ready to
ly without any other contact than the atmolphete
oily of a Drkineo.
America, it teems, off srded this pretty fellow
many of thefe 'Mowery delights, and he had many
opportunities of dying inetpreffibly at Bermuda : but
the little Ingrate no limner gets home, than he begins
to abufe ns. In a note to his poems, he rays," The
women of Bermuda are nut generally handfome, but
ther have an affectionate languor in their look, which
is inserefting ; they have a pre-difpofition to loving,
which, without being awakened by any particular
objeß, diffufes itfelf through the general manner, in a
tone that never fails In falcinate. l'he men of the
;fiend are not very civilized, and the old philofophers.
who imagined that, after this life, men would be
changed into mules, and women into turtle clover,
would find the metamorphofisi in Come degree an-
ticipated, at Bermuda !" Of William and Mary
Collette, that has produced fo many men great
in fcience, particularly in politics and oratory, he
lays, " This College gave me but a melancholy
idea of republican feats of learning. The con-
tempt for the elegaacies of education is no where
more gristly confpienens than in Virginia. The level-
ling Wiens is applied to education, and has all the
effect which its partizans could defire, by producing
a soft extenfive equality of lopramt." He then, in
defiance of the Whop, rails at the morals too of the
place. 01 poor Norfolk, which is the thiefhold
over which all travellers (tumble, he lays—
i• Norfolk, it malt be owned, is an unfortunate
fpecimen of America. The charateriftics of Vir-
ginia, in general, are not fuch as can delight either
the politician or the moralift, and at Norfolk they
are exhibited in their leaft attractive form. At the
time that we arrived, the yellow fever had not then
difappeared, and every *dew that affailed us in the
!trees, very Strongly accounted for its vifitation. It
is, in troth, a molt difagreeable place, and the heft
the Journalift or Geographer can fay of it is, that
it abounds in Jost, in wrest, and in &mows's." If
there is no truth in thefe remarks of Moore, we
ought to pity him inflead of being angry with him;
for he was lb near to the ground, that every odour
adailed him with double effect; and he had &eh
microfcoplc eyes, that he could fee worms in the
&Weft fusee ; but he could neither fee any thing
price or white, on any fubjett that required a ca-
pacious mental fumy; he ufed to a&, where
were our poets—bad we any? We had fcarce a tong-
Ilter among us. He was afraid to look at that tecri-
bleTrumbull• with his• (word trenchant.' I•Dwight's

ELICTION AIIIMPOTIS.—Two Gentlemen have
been returned to Parliament, who had not the Light-
la idea of the hon•ur which awaited them : owing
to this circumtlance :
Mr. Alderman PRINS6P, who had figpified his in-
tention of offering himfelf for Beverley, difpatched
his friend, Mr. Jousts CORTIaLo, to canvafs that Bo-
rough, which he did with the greatell (octets and
then proceeded to Hull, only nine miles dillant, to
canva(s the Beverley freemen tefident there. This
was a few boors before the elation, when no fymp.
torn of oppolition appeared, and Mr. SaldelL
Tor (who has now offered for Surrey) had not even
taken the trouble to canvas- Mr. Coin et.o's
and the freemen who had accompanied him, being
decorated with their former Candidate's colour, pink,
immediately gave rife to a report, which fpread ra-
pidly through Hull, that Mr. Dan tsos himfelf
had attired. He was accordingly propofed at the
huflings, and 116 elettion was carried, though that
Gentleman happened to be two hundred miles from
the place, and, as he declares in his advertifentent,
knew nothing of the matter.
A letter was now received from the Alderman, ray-
ing, that he bad Aarted for Colcherler, to the great
Innrtiffration of the freemen of Beverley, who, after
Coliciting Mr. One:no to Aand himfelf, which ire
declined, not being, as he alined them, qualified, they
immediately (toured the cnantry in all diredions,and
picked up, at the head of a brigade, General Veal,
who *as returned, Minot without knowieg that be
was a Candidate.
