A moft fatal accident took place during the
evening of the late illumination, by that dangerous
praCtice of firing off piaols, guns, &c. on nights
of rejoicing : Edward Thurmwond, a journeyman
to Mr. Robinfon, nil-merchant and tin-plate worker,
in Long-Acre, was palling along King-ftreet, Gol-
den fquare, in company with a friend, when a
piltol was fired from the door of Mr. P. a trader-
man in that ftreet, containing a wood ruler, about
five inches and three quarters in length, and about
five eighths in diameter, which entering the mid-
dle of his right thigh, perforated entirely in, fo
that the end of it could not be perceived. The de-
ceafed was taken to St. George's hofpital, where
he died. On Wednefday evening, the parties who
were the cattle of the unfortunate accident, were
examined before A. GRAHAM, Efq. at Bow-ftreet,
when it appeared that it had been done by the
barrel of a large piftol, fixed in a piece of wood,
to load which the ruler had been ufed as a ram-
rod, and left in by negligence when fired off by
Mr. P.'s fon, who kimfelf admitted he believed
that to he the fadt. Mr. Nicholfon, the houfe-fur-
geon at St. George's hofpital, gave an account of
the Rate the deceafed was in when brought to that
hofpital, occafioned by the 'wound in his thigh,
from which the voler could not be extraCted until
the next day ; that he afterwards grew worre
worfe, and on Wednefday morning, about five
o'clock, expired. The Magiftrate direeted Mr.
P.'s fon fhould remain in cuftody, for the verdia
of the Coroner's Jury. The deceafed was a very
fine young man, upwards of fix feet high, and
much rcfpeEted.
At a Meeting of the Inhabitants of Killala and
the neighbouring Vicinity, held on the 24th day
of April, 18oz, the following Addrefs was agreed
on, and ordered to be prefented to Lieut.-Colonel

mender, or the more engaging and attradtive merit of the
polithed Gentleman. To. this coodudt we find ourfelves in-
debted for that tranquil fecurity and pleating intercourfe we
have enjoyed uninterruptedly Since your arrival amongft us.
We beg leave to prefent our Sincere regards to the Officers
under your Command, with whom we had the pleafure of liv-

you and they will accept of our warmeft acknowledgments for
the kind attention which you have always manifefted towards

We (herald think ourfelves deficient, lhould we omit to es-
prefs our approbation of the loya:ty, zeal, and peaceable de-
meanour of the Non-commitiloned Officers and Privates of the

wt,iately, after the death of the Earl, had written
a letter, giv!ug a very different account of the
traniaCtion item what he had fwot n on his dire&

dated his evidence ; and the Jury, after about five
minutes, found for the will, by which the ellates
are secured to the Dowagt-r Counters. The learned
Judge perfealy concut red in the verdict, and every
auditor in the Court expreifed approbation. That

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY 6.

jOrNSON, ROBINSON, AND OTHERS, V. WOOLCOT.

This was a bill filed by the plaintiffs, who are
Yrrinmt bookfellers in L-ondon, praying that the
defendant, Dr. Woolcot, might be prohibited from
publithing certain works, which they affirmed to
be their property. The cafe was extremely intri-
cate, ..nd depended upon the confirtglion of (eve-
nt' written contraiffs executed between the parties.
Flom no aniwer having been put in, the injunc-
tion iilued ; but the defendant's Counfcl now
Mewed caufe why it fhould be diffolved.
The Loan CHANCELLOR complained that nei-
ther party had Rated what the nature of thefe corn•
pofitions was. The conftant itraftice had been to
bring the books into Court, andlie certainly Ihould
not make any definitive order till he had had an cp-
portunity of examining them. Lord Chief Juffice
Eyrt had laid it down, that an atlion could not be
maintained at law for pirating a publication libel-
lous or obfcene. Upon the fame principle, touch-
ing filch a publication, a Court of Equity would
not grant an injuntlion, nor decree an account.—
The autApr was not to be confidered as having a
property in his infamous works which the law
would protetl, and he muff meet no affiffance in
fecuring his unhallowed profits. He had leen ex-
tras fiom works bearing the fame curious names
with thefe mentioned in the fchedule to the bill, of
a very fufpicious nature ; littt whether thefe works
were the fame, or different, only agreeing in name,
from the wary caution of the parties, it was impof-
fible for him to fay. His Lordfhin therefore faid,
sbaL ne could not at prefent enter into the merits
of the quellion, and ordered that unlefs the books
were fent to him before this day fe'nnight, the in-
juntlion Ihould be diffolved.

COURT OF RUNG'S BENCH, MAY 3.
PARISH WAR.

Hiwtsrr o. Srusas.—This was an ation for
defamation. The declaration averred that the de-
fendant, addreffing the plaintiff, fpoke there words:
" Who knows what you may fvrear ? You have
(worn fallely already. Take care what you fwear ;
for you know you have perjured yourfelf." The
defendant pleaded—Not Guilty.
Mr. Glass Rated, that both parties are inhabi.
tants of the parifh of St. Luke. In the beginning
of lafi year Mr. Hewlett and fume others having
tame fulpicions that the affairs of the parifh were
not adminillered with perfea purity, walled to in.
fpe& the parifh books. Their requa was refufed
by the bildlrs. Miles, the Clerks, and they were
obliged to apply to the Court of King's Bench.
The moti":n for a Mandamus was founded upon
an affidavit, in which the'plaintiff joined, fwearing
that an itifpeilion of the books had been refilled:
A Mandamus Kited, and one day in July Mr.
Hewlett and his two fons repaired to the Clerk's
office to reap the fruits of their labour. The books
weie produced, but they met with interruptions
1:1:11 rendered it impotlible for them to learch
?Lin to any purple. Several people, and among
the reit Mr. Stubbs, had been introduced on par-
pofe In annoy them. Mr. Hewlett remonflrated,
and (aid, that if another day.wonld be more con-
venient, be would return. Meeting with nothing
bat infolcnce, he and his tons went away, and as
they were going, the defendant addrefed old Hew-
lett in die words charged in the declaratiOn. Mr.
Hewlett, in bringing tli:s anion, the learned
Counfel raid, had two Micas; t. To give Stubbs
an opportunity to make good this charge of per-
jury; and a. To recover an adequate compen-
Cation for the injury he bad Whined Croat this fool
and groundlefs arperfion. The defendant had not
dared to jutlify ; when he had proved thin the
words were fpoken, it would therefore be feel at
what price a London Jury fat the repstutios of
a London tradefman.
The material witnefs was one of the plaintiff's
ram, who eicarly made out Mr. Giblueu cafe.—
From his crofs-examination, however, it appeared,
that though the words were, fpoken in Ply, the
:Ann was not brought till Jauitary; nsat in the
mean while the parties hail fret rewind times, and
that a ()ion time before the liting out of the writ,
Mr. Slbldis, who is Governor ot St. Luke's Cha-
r:ty School, had refuted to give the withers the
sow rnet 14,r making leather breeches for are Tus.

mutt pars for the plalutit bat he flatted
:o think that the damages ought nut to b: he..vy.
It was chiefly reparation for rerfooal tidings lha,

nine., 301.
14 el. 6. —at,. AR I) V. COSSLINGS.

Mr. Ctr.teow moved for a rule to thew catife
why judgment Humid not be abetted in ili;s eale.
It was an :::'ion for penalties upon the ffatute
of the 37th of his relent Majelly, c 9c, lee. 3c.,
commonly called the Attornies Licence Aft. It
was tried at the Sittings after the lal Term, before
Intlice BLANC and a Special Jury, in
Caildhall, London. The two defendants, Meas.
Cofslings, were plociori, and this was an action
for penalties againff them for having amid with.
out a certificate in procuring probates of wills: by
mere inadvertency they had omitted to take out
their certificate in time, and therefore a verdict
was given for the plaintiff upon the third, the
twelfth, and, the fifteenth counts of the declaration.
The third count Dated, that the defendants had,
as prodors, extraaed probate of a certain will and
codicil of John Kinder, deceafed, without having
obtained and entered any fuck certificate, as re-
cioired by the faid Ratute. The twelfth and the
fifteenth counts were Eke the third, only relating
to other probates or ads done by the defendants
as kodors.
To this there were feverai objeEtions r.::on which
he was to contend that judgment ought to be ar
jelled. In the firft place, the Court would obferve,
that in each of there counts there was included two
diffina caufes niaaion' for it Rated the aas to
have bean done by the defendants without having
" obtained and euteled" any inch certificate. Now

it was a diftina offence to do this ad, wit:iout
having of ained the certificate. It was another
dillind offence to extraft filch a probate, without
having entered fuch certificate: this declaration,
he contended, was therefore bad, and no judgment
could be given on it.
The fecond objeainn was, that this was an ac-
tion againft two perfons jointly, againft Nathaniel
and George Gofslings for one ad, and that aft of
a criminal nature, which every thing to which a
penalty is attached, mull be taken to be ; this was
contrary to the rude of law, which provided, that
one pgrfon (ball not be criminally refponfible for
the all of another ; each fliould have been charged
for his own ad only. The declaration on this ac-
count alfo was bad, and therefore no judgment
could be pronounced on it.
There objeaions, he faid, were fufficient to dif-
pofe of this cafe, but there was another, %Lich he
would Rate. That this plaintiff could not recover
in this adion, becaufe this ftatute did not give this
right of aflion to a common informer.—Rode to
(hew caufe granted : at the fame time, the Court
direfted that copies (bould be delivered to the
Judges, of the material parts of the declaration,
as they had a bearing uponthe points to be Witted
upon, but not the whole of the declaration, be-
caufe that would be putting the parties to an un-
neceffin y espence.
