keeping well with all. Arthur Pavis evidently checked and pulled
up Longwaist from winning, but the horse (undoubtedly the best),

A X I N STE R—Serramsze 7.
Tuesday being the day appointed for the Shute Hill Races, the
hill began to be covered at an early hour ; vehicles of almost every
descriptiou were seen in motion towards the bill, together wit's
numerous crowds on horseback and on foot. The East Devo:i
Yeomanry Cavalry, under the command of Major 'Loden, welt
through their Various evolutions in a toldier:ile manner, much to
the credit of their Commander and themselves, and to the great
gratification of all present; atter which they sat gown to an elegant
collation, given them by their Major. In the afternoon a silver
cup was run for by horses belonging to the Royal Fast Devon
Yeomanry, the hest of three two-mile heats ; won easily by Mr. Jef-
• (cries' horse. The next was a puny race foe a bride and saddle
won by Mr. Emmett's puny. This was a weli•comisted race. The
next race was for a handsome silver cup, given by the Gentlemen
tradesmen of Axminster; won by Mr. Seliwoud's horse. This was
an excellent race. After the races there was a wrestling match ;
the best prize was won by Robert Underdown. Ten tho:rsand
people are supposed to have been on the hill ; and as the weather
was remarkably fine, the scene was of an imposing description ;
whole passed off without a single accident.
BOXING.
Old Oak Common, situate about six miles from London, on the
Harrow road, was yesterday honoured by the pre-settee of a select
assemblage of the Veaminsicer mobocracy, to witness a Subscription
Mill, between Jones, (the sailor boy), and a Cusierasonger champion,
well known by the poetical appellation of " Tommy U'Lyusi,' but
whose name, in the parish books, is Jemmy Wawa.
Only four.rounds were fought, in which Tommy had it is au di-
rections, and Jones won iu six minutes without a scratch.
WRESTLING.
At South Molton, on Thursday and Friday, the Devonshire
Champiou,A.Cann, carried off the first prize of seven guineas, throw-
ing seven pet sons in succeasion. Five thousand persons were presetu.

signed the straggie.

COURTOWN BOAT RACE.
Monday se'nnight, sixteen fine boats started in beautiful order, to
obtain the premiums allotted by the Earl of Courtowu, for the en-
couragemtrit of the fisheries in his Lordship's neighbourhood. The
first premium was won by the Eliza, George Water; the other pre-
miums by the Betty, Kitty, Lark, Streata, and Cannon's boat of
Poulshone. The premiums amounted to .E 33• Considerabk im-
provement was manifested in the appearance of the boats; their
rigging, sails, Ste. were in excellent order; and the crews, in the
management and working of them, gave general satisfaction. His'
Lordship and family, wits► a great many of the must respect:vole
Ladles and Gentlemen of the county of Wexford were resent.

A most interesting match at this highly scientific and fascinating
game, is no* playing between amateurs in Leeds and Liverpisol.
The game commenced about finer months ago. and the moves,
since that period, have been regularly transmitted through tbe.po t.
In the progress of the game, considetable skill has been displayed
by the respective combatants, and the odds from time to time have
undergone great fluctuation,. The conflict is drawing to a close,
and the game is no* reduced- to that state as to be highly flattering
to the skill and Ingenuity of the Leeds amateurs, and to render it
mote than probable that the laurels of !licitly will shortly crown
their efforts with success, in a contest in which they have had o

INQUEST' JUItLES.

The question as to the liability of the inhabitants of
the Parish of &. Andrew, Holborn, to serve on Juries
on the bodies of persons who die in Sc. Bartholomew's
Hospital, was agitated yesterday. On Tuesday the Co.
tuner issued a warrant, directed to the Beadle, requiring
h:rn to summon a Jury to inquire into the death of
Peter Neale. at the above Hospital, and yesterday a
Jut y assembled there lor that purpose; when, previous
to their being sworn,
Mr. Browne, one of the Jury, expressed a wish to en.
ter a protest against the right of the Coroner to summon
a Jury from that Parish on bodies of persons who died
out of it.—The Coroner said, he could not receive the
protest: as it could not be a matter of record. The
Jury might present a protest, if they thought proper.
Mr. Browne said, this accident happened out of my
Parish, and therefore I don't think I ought to serve on
this Jury. 1 deny the right of the Coroner to summon
me here, and most of my fellow-parishioners are of my
opinion. Some legal advice ought to be taken on the
subject, and if we submit now, it will vitiate our future
resistance.

Mr. Guest, tie Foreman of the Jury, said, he had
never known a case where the inhabitants of St. An-
drew's had been summoned to attend a Jury ont of their
own Parish.

The Coroner said, he could give no opinion as to
whether it would prejudice the question now pending in
the Court of Exchequer, if the Jury consented to serve
on the preient occasion. As to the right claimed by
the Parish, he thought they had but a remote prcbabi-
lity of success in establishing it, having no grant to ex-
empt them from serving on Julies, any more than the
test of the inhalitants of thy City. If he were called
on hereafter as a witness, he would mention what had
taken place there that day ; but if the Jury refused to
serve, he would indict them at the Sessions.

Mr. Gibb;tis said, the accident happened at such a
eistance, the Jury could love no knowledge of the lo-
cality. St. Sepulchres rails?) bad been summoned, and
attended, for the last 30 yeats, and he thought they
ought to continue to do so.
The Coroner said, that was because that Palish was
the nearest to the Hospital, which was situate in the
Palish of St. Bartholomew the Less, from whence a
Jury could n-ft be summoned; but the inbab tants of
St• Sepulchre, finding the other Parishes of the Ward
were equally liable, determined to shake off the yoke.
After some further conversation, the Inquest proceeded, when it
appealed that the deceased WAS accidentally killed by a fall from a
scaffold in Moor fields ; and the Jury returned a verdict accordingly.

The Rev. G. P. Ilicitanus, of Beverley, returning
from Cottingham to the former place on Tuesday even-
ing last, in a gig, accompanied by a servant, the horse
ran away with them, in consequence of a fright, and Mr.
RIORAILO3, to escape the danger, leaped out, and un-
fortunately broke the small bone of his leg.
The historian Boisard, who wrote in the 17th cen-
tury, states, in describing the revenues of the French
Clergy in his tithe, that they possessed 3,000 lordships,
in which they had the chief power in exercising poli-
tical justice; that they had also 240,000 country
villages, 7,000 acres of vineyards, besides the tithes
they received from other vineyards; 125,000 fish-ponds,
and 90,000 acres of meadow ground. The same
author writes, that the ecclesiastical men of France,'
in his time, did annually consume 4,500,000 measures
of pure wheat, (tach measure containing 6001b5.)
900,000 measures °Coats, 800,000 of bailey, 860,000
of pets, 180,000 fat capons, 860,000- hens, 600,006'
partridges, •12,500, fat oseni, 12,000 fat wethers, and
7,000,000 of eggs. •

• EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION: •
An elderly 'female. in very wretched apparel, and'
A dependent for subsistence upon Christchurch PA-
ri,h, in the City of London, but possessing the
manners and cultivated mind of a Gentlewoman,
appliA to the LORD MAYOR, yesterday, for his ad-
vice on a subject of rather an extraordinary nature.
—The circumstances to which she called his 1..0N1-
ship's attention were these:—Her name is Loinas.
—Her g►andfather was a man of high. re.pecta-
bility, and of great accomplishments. Tie Dowager
Duchess of Somerset, from whom the present Doke
ttf Northumberland was descended, mart led him. Toe
marriage was what was called a Fleet marriage, and
ss as at the time it took place to all intents and purposes
legal. An Act, however, was passed in the ensuing
year (1752), making Fleet marriages null and void ;
but although this Act could not be supposed to have a
retrospective operation, the Duchess of Somerset w•:te
apprehensive that some question might arise in the
event of her death as to the claims of her husband
upon her property, and for the put pose r f securing
him agaiast all passible bad con•erlaences that might
result tram dispu:ing hi. right, made over to him the
sum of 60,000/. by a deed, which pl iced that sum
wholly beyond the r,ach of any of the family. Soot,
after the Beath of the Duchess, Air. Lomas gave a
most decided proof of his magnanimity by resigning
the deed to the late Duke of Northumberland, whom
he considered better entitled to the property of the
Dowager Duchess. An acknowledgment of this splen-
did sacrifice was given to Mr. Lomas in writing, by
the Noble Person to wham it was made. It was kept
at his death by the mother of the unfortunate applicant
to the Lord Mayor, who, in consequence of unexpected
reverses of fortune, was compelled to remind the late
Duke of the obligation, and received an annual recom-
pense without- delay or hesitation. This letter, the
applicant said, she had had in her possession until
lately, and the wolul state of indigence to whieis she
was reduced, compelled her to make known to his
Grace, the present Duke of Northumberland, through
one of his agents, that she was the grand-daughter of
Mr. Lomas, who had married the Dowager Duchess
of Somerset, and given up to the family 60,000/. the
interest upon which would, if that Gentleman had not
acted in so highly disinterested a manner, have made
that sum worth 80,0001. to his unfortunate posterity,
the last of whom was now representing her deplorable
condition to the Lord Mayor. The Gentleman whom
she had requested to make the representation to his
Grace was a Clergyman. He asked her, af•:er he had
had an interview with his Grace, whether she would
consent to give up the letter of acknowledgment upon
having the sum of 501. a year settled on her for life?
To this proposition she immediately assented.—She,
however, did not authorise the Clergyman to resign
the paper until the necessary form by which she was
to become entitled should be executed. What, dies,'
was her disappointment, when she was informed that
the paper was given up without any condition. The
only recompense she received was '251. but she was
confident that if those facts reached the ear of the Duke
of Northumberland, a recoil, ction of the past great
service, the advantages of which his Grace 'was now
enjoying, would impel him t•o bestow a charitable
thought upon the grandchild of a man to whom it was
ridiculous to say he wa, not deeply indebted.
'lle 1-ono MAYOII said, he was convinced that if the claim of
:qrs. Lomas was of the nature described, the Duke of 'Northum-
berland would at once attend to it.

Mrs. 'Amassed, that if his Lordship would take the trouble to
communicate the nature of her claim to his Grace, no doubt it
would be soon found that it was not forgotten.
;lit Lordship, although exceedingly reluctant to interfere in
matters which had no reterence to the duties of .ituatiosa. 1.1 0.
rnised to make some inquiries, and immediately, as w. und;:rstool,
wrote to the Duke.

An accident befel one of the 17th Lancers the ether
night at Brighton, which was bad enough, hu; night
have been worse. He was scaling the barrack walls to
get in at midnight, when just as he had nearly cleared
them, in taking. a spring his foot was caught between
the iron spikes, and he fell, and hung dangling, heels
uppermost, roaring most lustily for help, till his com-
rades relieved him from his painful situation, and car-
ried him off sadly bruised, but with no bones broken, to
the hospital.
Seven.l psyular actors ate now on shooting excur-
sions. Trey should bear in mind the misfortunes of
certain ct their fraternity Bannister, Barrymore,
Dowton, and Mathews, who have each been severely
wounded while busied in such pursuits ; the former on
being some few years since pressed with asimilar invita-
tioo,declined alleging as an excuse that in his last attempt
he made a very bad hand at it, and that in his opinion
it was best for performers to decline such engagements,
confine their talent to the stage, and only " Shoot
Folly as it Kies."
In 5-. Alban's Church, in Wonal-street, which n
founded in the time of King ATIIKI.STAN, or about
921, was flung among the plebeian skulls, the head of
the unfortunate James the FIFTH, of Scotland. His
body, for a long time, had Temained embalmed at the
monastery at Sh.2:l . After the dissolution, it was cast
among some rubbish,where some workmen wanzoaly cut
off the head, which was taken by You ro, the glazier io
Queen Elizabeth, who was struck with its sweetness,
arising from the embalming materials. He kept i: for
a considerable time at his house in Wood-street ; but at
last gave it te the Sexton to bury among other bones in
the charnel-hcuse.
FORESTALLING.--The following curious advertise-
ment is copied•from the. It'arwiek Advertiser of last
week. The Mayor and Magistrates of Warwick were
probably not aware that the 12th of George 111. c. 71.
repeals all .the laws against " ingrosser s, forestallers,
and egrators." lf, therefore, this notice leads to the ap-,
preliens•on of any unhappy Wight charged with fore-
stalling, the " utmost rigour of the law'' may happen
to fall, not on him, but on the Officer by whom he is
apprehended. It seems strange that at this time of
day, " Tibbits, town-clei k," or any other clerical or
unclerical name, should be signed to such a document.
We should as soon have expected a magisterial notice
against witchcraft : " The Mayor and Magistrates. of
this borough, having received information that the
practice of forestalling is carried on to a great ex-
tent, by persons buying up large quantities of comma-
dities.as they are being brought to, and in the market,
and forthwith selling them again at enhanced prices, to
'the great injury of the Public, Notice is hereby given,
that proper persons are al,pointed, for the purpose of
detecting those who may be guilty of such practices ;
and if any such are found, they will be prosecuted to
the utmost rigour of the law.—By order of the Mayor
,and Magistrates,---4, Toms, Town Clerk."

POLICE INIELLIGENCE,

GUILDHALL
Mr. Harvey, a linen-draper, on Ludgate-hill, was summoned to
shin' cause why he detained a sheep. It appeared that the animal,
when driven from Smithfield on Monday last, being frightened
by a dog, dashed forward against the folding doors of Mr.llarvey's
shop, which it burst open, and broke two Large squares of glass,
value 1C.5. Mr. Harvey caused the sheep to be seized, and de-
tained it in his cells until the damage was made good. Ile did
Lot press fur the full value of the glass, bur would be content to
receive 3GI 6s. the price t:f ordinary crown window glass. The
owner of the sheep contended that Mr. Harvey could not recover a
farthing for broken windows, they being only a few inches from the
ground, and therefore peculiarly liable to be broken. Notsvith-
-standing the drover insisted that an Act to that effect was nom-
riously in existence, the Statute books were searched, but no law
limiting the distance +love the pavement at which whop window*
should commence could be discovered.
Mr. Aldertnan liatuuss said, his private opinion of the law of
the question was, that Mr. Harvey w..s not justifi,sl in detaining the
sheep, and he would recommettd bin; to receive a guinea in dis-
charge of iu, oil of expenses.
The owner a the sheep then pressed for an order for the deli-
set) of it to hint, a 3 his undoubted property, n ithout payment of the
guinea, liaving Mr. H. to recover that in any manner could.
Tln Alderman, however, declined milting any in kr whatever
in the business, and the parties retired.
