CLERKENWEtI,

DEC. 2.-THE KING V. WiiTLE.
Ti-c Defe: dart was this day broovht up to receive
the judgment of the Court ur.'er the fulkwing cit-
curntlances :

A curnrinffion of bankrupt had iffued againft a
perfun of the name of , and his certificate
being rea by for the Great Szat. an affidavit was filed
by the Defendant, letting rth fuck matters as, if
true, would have prevented it ir,:m pilling. Bur this
affiJavit was difcavered to be fail..., and the d!fendant
wasndiaeri for petkiry ; but when .his trial cane
on, it was f and that there was an error in tile in-
diftment, and the Jury, at the instance of the Counfel
for the profecution, were direeted to acquit the
Defendant, and he was acquitted accordingly. A
fecond indietment wa• preferred, and upon the fecond
inditiment being fo preferred againti him, he pleaded
mare fair acquit. To this plea the Counfel for the
profecution entered a demurrer, which being argued
on both tides at a former Seflions, the Court took time
to decide, and this day the Learned Chairman de-
livered the fectiments of the Court on the plea and.
demurrer ; the ful3(tane rf which was, that as the
fir It indietnitnt was erroneous, the defendant could net
in law be Paid to have been tried by it or upon it. It
was therefore to be confidered as no trial. He was
not therefore entitled to his plea of mare far &pit.
Confequently the demurrer was goad. Mr. Maur-
WARING, in fopport of this doetine, cited a great
variety of cafes from the Eel authorities, and the W.
tines, down to the 'a., I decifton's of th fuperior
Courts, the demurrer operating as a waiver of Jury.
The defendant will be next brought up for fentenca.
it not being a capital cafe, but one of mifdeacanour.

A letter from Corven, North Wiles, dated N, v.
26, lays—" The deep fnow that has fallen within
thefe ten days pall has exceeded every thing of the
kind that has occurred for thefe zo yewks pall. For
a week palt, not a carriage of any deltription has
been able to penetrate from Id-lyhead, not a bed to
he got in the whole town, every inn and private lodg.
ing overflowing with company. The fnow, within
a few miles of this, is in many places upwards of 16
feet deep. and frequently in drifts of 3 or 4 miles.—
Lord Jucstym and Captain Kunz RIDE, who let pff
this day, after 6 days tarrying, were determined to
penetrate the fnow, but after fever al hours attempting
with 6 horfes, were obliged to return. A drift of
fnow overtaking a gentleman in Ifs tandem, he was,
with great labour, extricated, with the lofs of a fa-
vourite horfe. Sir WATKIN WILLIAM WYNN' vifited
the company here, and fent from Winflen every GTE
of game and provifions, with wines. '('be coaches
that Ihould have arrived, in their ulna! courfe. at
arewibury, on Wacinefday evening WI, have not
yet arrived, nor is there the flightelt infotmatictt
where they are ; in fall, all communication by car.
riages has been cut off for fame time. Every fort of
amufement is promoted that can polliMy diffipate the
gloom of a (mall town, every avenue of which is
almoll choaked with (now."

bridge. He had been drinking pretty freely, and it
was luppofed that he was benighted, fat down, fell
alleep, and died by the inclemency of the weather.
