ToDD V. CHRISTIE.

This was an argument on a motion for a new
trial of this cafe, which was determined before Juf-
lice Lc Blanc, at Guildhall, by a Special Jury.—
The anion was on a Policy of Infurance on the
ihip Fowler, which was taken for the tranfport
fervice in the Medico ranean, by the Trtnfport
Board, who guaranteed the plaintiff's lofs by cap-
ture. '[he chalice of lois from talon-e having
been thus gnat ded againtl, the plaintiff infiind, iti
the tifual manner, againit the perils of the fear,
bar-atry of the Captain and mariners; but in the
policy wise thoce words, enptircs and feizurei ex-
cepted. This v;ilel having been fent as a cartel to
Marfeilles, the Captain admitted on board there a
quantity of French merchandize. On account of
this aft of barratry in the Captain, the vefFel was
detained by the Pearl frigate at Port Mahon, and
condemned by the fentence of the Admiralty
Court at Minorca. The quellion theta was, Whe•
ther this was fuck a capture or feizure as was ex=
cepted by the ewers wads of the policy ? The
Learned Judge, at the trial, told the Jury it was
not; that it was an effea produced by the barratry
of the Captain, and as fad: the Underwriters were
liable. The Jury found for the plaintiff in confe- I
quence of fuck) direllion. Meas. EzszuNs and
Glass argued at conliderable length againit the
irerdiet ; ,tleffrk. PAU, BAILIE, and Wialtlf, in
fupport of it.
The Court held, that the direition of the Judge
zed the verdia were right.

Yefterday morning were executed before the
Debtors' Door, Newgate, limey Cogj, for forging
a certain letter of Attorney, in the name ef Wit

Jsdward Hartwrigk, for forging a certain pron.i:
tiny note for 51. with intent to defraud Meffrs.
Down, Thornton, and Co. Bankers.
The concourfc of fpelkators to view the dreadful
ceremony was immenfe.
A few minutes bcfcre eight o'clock, Mr. H.
Cock attended the platform fir fl, elegantly
drelli:d in mourning. The appearance of a man,
whore manners and demeanour were of the
moa prep oftiling kind, interelted every perfon pre.
fer.t After the rope bad been fattened about his
neck, he noidc a 11;:+rt fpeech, which he delivered
in a lirm and manly tone. Throughout the whole
of thi, molt awful liene he difplayed a degree of
forti!nde equally remote from audacity and indif-
ference.

A f'ew minutes after eigtn o'clock the platform
was removed. After ‘nanging the ulnal time, their
bodies WCYL cl:t awn, and carried into the prifon,
from where,: the bodies of Finlay and Hartwright
we..e temoved in about a quarter of an hour. Mr.
Cock's body was put into a leaden coffin, and re.
ynnied in a hearfe a fhort tine afterwards. He was
vilited in his confinement by many perfons of re.
fpreabilit y. Mr. Mt LISH, the contrador, was one
of his condoling friends. Mr. TATLOCK was fel.
dom away from him, and was the lalt friend he
took leave don the fcaffold.

The Rev. Dr. Paitse:ve, of St. Geogte's in the
Eaft, courtantly attended him in Lis devotions, and
touk much pains to p:cpari.: his mind to meet the
awful moment that awaited him. On Timidity

table young man in the navy, reTieding his com-
pany to fir lip with him ail night, which would be
the IA tLy would ever Ipend together ; and his
coming to him teemed to airord him much fatir-
faCtion. In the morning, when the farewell fignal
was given, a truly afieding fecne-took place be-
tween ihe two briiihets, and for the moment
Cock's fpirits fecn!cd to fail him, but when they
were leparated, he loon returned his former com-
pofure.
Fennel being a Roman Catholic, was attended
by a Ciergynian of that perfultfirm. Ile was drctled
in mournin, and Hartwright appeared in a blue
coat and paataloons of the lame colour.
