COURT oeittlltal 4)ll,Majar. It.
The following miens were fhb Astimeoght up
for judgment: •
Daniel Lovell, irroptietor of the itttierntan newspa-
per, for a libel on the Commissioners for the Trans-
port Service. The libel imputed to the Commis-
sioners of Transports, that they and their vents were
'guilty of peel:stations in the management of the funds
allowed for the maintenance of French prisonets, by •
mulcting them of their allowance, and putting the
:savings in their own pockets. The defendant, in miti-
gation, put in a long affidavit, in which he stated
that he was in prison at,the time of publication of the
libel, and that it was inserted without his privity or
knowledge. Mr. BROUGHAM, on behalf of the defen-
dant, addressed the Court, and argued, that the libel
was harmless, from its extreme fay and improbabi-
lity. The Solactroa-Lenzaat. having replied, the
Court sentenced the defendant to pay a fine to the
King of £5OO ; to be imprisoned in the Gaol of
7Tewgate 18 months.; to be computed from the ex-
piration of his present term of imprisonment, (he being
at present suffering under a sentence of the Court); _
at the end of that time to find security for his good 1
behaviour for three years--himself in £lOOO. and
two sureties in 4500 each ; and to be further impri.
soned till the fine is paid, and the security given.
Kraal! Hall, convicted at the Assizes of the
County of Kent, held at Maidstone, of having un,
lawfully assisted three French Prisoners in their
escape from this country, by furnishing them with a
boat at Folkstone, in which they were afterwards
picked up by one of hls Majesty's cruizers, Was sen-
tenced to pay a fine of F5O to the King, and to be im-
prisoned for two years in the gaol of Maidstone.
lidward 011iatt, charged with a similar offence, in
having lent a gig to Commodore Poluci and Colonel
Manville; who were on their parole at Ashburton, in
order to convey them to Uttoxeter, in their way to-
wards an out-port, was also brought up for judg-
ment; but as it appeared, from the affidavit of a Sur—.
geon, that he Was afflicted with a disorder, which, in
all human probability, would terminate his life in a
very short time, the Solicitor-General humanely
agreed to suffer him to go at large, upon his own re-
cognizance, to come up when called upon.
Martin Pope and Mary Roche, the former an excise-
man, and the latter a victualler at the Hot-wells at '
Clifton, were brought up to receive judgment for
conspiring to defraud the Revenue, by accounting to
the Excise fOr less beer than was actually brewed..
The former was sentenced to fifteen months, and the
latter to six months, imprisonment in die gaol of the
City of Bristol.
Mary Moore WAS adjudged to be imprisoned one
month in the goal of Norwich, for assaulting and ob-
structing Robert Halt, in the execution of his duty ;
that is, in endeavouring to seize a cart and horse, in
which there were some smuggled goods. •
David Pothwitie Was likewise adjuged to be impri.
soned nine months in the gaol of Berwick-upon-
Tweed, for assaulting and severely beating John
Johnson, a Revenue offfcer, whit he was attempting
to seize two anchors of gift, near the town of Berwick.
The prisoner is a fisherman, and was accompanied•
by four other men. His conduct was particularly
reprehensible. He hall already been confined sax
months in the goal of Newcastle.
In consequence of the lateness of the hour, the So.
uctroa-GENERAL, at the desire of the. Court, declined
calling for any other judgments, intimating that he
should address their Lordships on the same subject on,.
Monday next.

The LORD CHANORLLORI yesterday, in a Bankrupt
Catise, took an opportunity of mentioning, that .he
had lately, in one day, put the seal to one hundred and
sixteen Commissions of Bankruptcy; beitig neatly a sixth
of the whole that had taken place during the period
that LORD HARDWICKE presided in Chancery.
A CARD FROM CORNHILL.-It is with a great dtk.
gree of satisfaction EYTON introduces to the notice of
his friends the Scheme of the present Lottery, so ar-
ranged as to be drawn without classes, by which means
every number decides its own fate, and no other.-
The Capital Prizes consist of two Twenty Thousands,
two Ten Thousands, with various other Capitals, '
making Thirty-sir great Prizes. The advantages
which constantly result to numberless individual;
froth a trifle expended in a.. Lottery share at Eyton's
office, need not be pointed out ; there are but few
persons who have not such instances amongst theit
own acquaintances. No. 2, CornhiU, and 18, con
issitry-street, are Eyton's fortunate offices.
Persons who are desirous of procuring particular
Numbers in the present Lottery, must make initue.t
diate application, as there is only one Ticket of eack
Number, and not duplicates, as in the late Lotteriesg
Alp Classes being entire)), dune away by the drawAt
feety Number separately from the Wheel.
It is a curious fact, that a Gentleman, whosctsann
we are not at liberty to mention, has iarformsiets
most wonderful cure in a case of insanity. /t;Le

confined for upwards of three years, and 41_

itneonnected state in which the different parts were
found, the Gentlemen who have examined it have

idea .of the subject ; but, from every opinion
famed at present, it appears to contain the two sub.
