LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 6.

LONG V. HURST. .
Mr. GURNEY stated the plaintiff's case. The action,
he said, was brought for the amount of a bill of ex-
dose for £l5O, and a tavern bill•for £Bl6. The de-
fendant, who had a considerable fortune, came to the
plaintiffs -Masse in March, 1819, and continued to re-
side there till the month of September in the same
year, in which time he incurred this debt.
Joseph Long, brother of the plaintiff, stated, that in
the year 1819, the defendant came to reside at his bro-
ther's house, and had all the at ticles in the bill prodaced.
The defendant lived in the style of a Gentleman of
rank and fortune. Witness proved the defendant's ac-
ceptance of a bill of exchange for £l5O, which he, wit-
ness, discounted for the drawer, and indorsed to the
plaintiff. The defendant left the hotel in September;
his bill was furnished to him, and he expressed great
satisfaction at the attention lie received, and said the
plaintiff would be the fist person he would pay. In
alay,lB2o, witness called on defendant for payment,
who he repeated his promise to pay, and also pro:
wised to pay the bill of exchange. In the year 1821,
defendant came to plaintiff's house with Mr. Robins,
his Attorney, and proposed to pay 10s. in the pound,
and asked time for the remainder.
Mr. &samarr observed, that he would prove that
the defendant was an Attorney's clerk at the time he
lived at Long's.
William Bell, a waiter at Long's Hotel, was exa-
mined fox the plaintiff. He stated, that he heard the
defendant say, while at the hotel, he had E7OOO a year.
Mr. SCkRLETT, for the defendant, made a most able
and laughable defence. ' He stated, that his client was
son of a respectable man in moderate ch cumstances,
and. had.been.articled to an Attorney. The young man,
however, knowing that lie was to come into possession
of £l5OO a year on the death of an old Lady, and
having probably read the popular Novel of Si.t Weeks
et Lou's,' he thought more of educating himself for
high life when he should come into possession of his
property, than for the legal profession, left his office,
and took up his abode at the hotel, with two of his
friends, and the consequence was, as might be expected,
that in the course of a few months they all three found.
themselves in the King's Beneh'prison, and the young
man, when he came to his property, was involved and
embarrassed beyond redemption. The Learned Counsel
went on to state, that at the time the debt was con-
tracted, the defendant 'was a minor, and had a com-
fortable home at the house of his parents, and could
sot, therefore, require necessaries at Long's. The
Learned Counsel adverted to a partnership that sub-
sisted with the proprietor and waiter at a well-known
house att Cambridge, where the inordinate gluttony of
the waiter became the theme of general conversation,
and many students went to see him drink six bottles of
Champagne at a sitting. The students paid for the wine
—it was dranit, and the young Gentlemen were struck
with amazement how clererly the-waiter swallowed the
'dose, and still remained sober—at last one of them,
with a little more sagacity than -the rest, insisted on
having one glass with the waiter, when he found that
the wine was merely coloured water. A carriage had
been set up, a smoking-pipe, or hookah, which cost
seventy-fiveguineas, and a snuff-box, for which eighty
guineas had been given, and these had been left with
the plaintiff to dispose ef, so that he had been more
than overpaid any charge that he could reasonably have
against the defendant, even if he were liable.
The defendant's father, and the Solicitor to whom he,
was articled (Mr.• Robins) preyed, the first, that his son
was born in 'April, 1799, and had been sent to Mr.
Robins in 1816 ; he had quitted him without his pa-
rent's knowledge, and the tither hearing that he fre-
quented Longs Hotel, went there, and left word that
his son was a minor, and an articled Clerk, sad ought
not to be harboured there.
Mr. GURNEY, in reply, contended that, it fraudu-
lent for the defendant to partake of the luxuries of
tong's Hotel, and then turn round and plead his a:li-
sooty for the non-payment of his debt.
After an hour's consultation, the Jury found a Ver-
dict for the defendant.

The Dowager Countess of STAMFORD had a select circle
sit fashionable, Saturday evening, at her house in Charles-street,

Stationer, New-square, Lincoln's Inn, was broken into,
and property in cash and bills to a large amount, to-

THE LATE EARL OF HOPETOUN.
-,.--

Wednesday last .a numerous meeting of Noblemen
and Gentlemen took place at three o'clock, in the.large
room of the Waterloo Tavern, Edinburgh, for the purpose
of adopting such measures as should be most ad visable for
transmitting to posterity a -per, nanent record of respect
for the distinguished professional talents, as well as the
private virtues of the late General, the Earl of Hope•
toun. Perhaps a More respectable and splendid com-
pany never assembled for a similar purpose in Edin-
burgh. It was attended by upwards of SOO, embracing
many of the most distinguished individuals of both
political parties ; thus affording a gratifying proof of
the exercise of that liberal and enlightened feeling
which can appreciate and admire public and private
virtues wherever they are seen; a feeling of which the
character and conduct of the Noble Earl, deceased,offers
a brilliant example, who, in his zealous attachment to
his political views, never suffered public opinions, in the
slightest degree, to interrupt private .friendships.
Among those present, were the Earls of Rosslyn, Lau-
derdale, Roseberry, Elgin and Kincardine, Lord Justice
Clerk, Lords Alloway, .Balgray, Gillies, Herniand,
Meadowbank, Pitmilly, and Mackenzie; the Lord
Advocate, Sir John Oswald, Sir Henry Moncrieff, Sir
Walter Scott, Sir A. Maitland eibson, Sir John Sin-
clair, Sir Robert Dundas, Sir David Milne, Sir William
Arbuthnot, &c.

• General Sir David Baird, the friend • and companiorill
in arms of the late Earl, was unanimously called to 11
the Chair. The Earl of Rosslyn' in an eloquent speech,
moved, that such a monument should be erected to the
memory of the illustrious deceased, as would best trans-
mit his nairie to posterity, and inspire our future warriors
to admire and emulate his virtues. The motion was
seconded by Sir John Oswald, of Dunnikier, and catried.
by acclamation.
The Earl of LAUDEROALI communicated to the
meeting, that he had authority from his Royal High-
' ness the Duke-of York to subscribe onetundred pounds,
and from his Grace the Duke of Wellington to sub-
scribe the sam: sum.
LORD BYRON'S LAST PUBLICATION.

CANTOS XII. XIII. AND yr. or DON JUAN.

It is with much pleasure we extract the following passage front
the number of this work just published, displaying as it does a due
and laudable honesty of feeling on the part of his Lordship towards
his present Majesty GZORGS IV,
• He saw, however, at the dosing Session,
• That noble sight, when redly free the nation,
- A King in constitutional possession
Of such a throne as is the proudest station,
Though despots know it not...till the progression
Of freedom shall complete their educatlol.
'Tis not mere splendour makes the shew august
To eye or heart—it ii the people's trust !
There too he saw (whateer be may be now,)
A Printe, the Prince of princes, at the time
Withlascitiation In his very-bow,
And full of promise, as the spring of prime.
Though royalty was written on his brow,
He bad the grace, too rare in every dime;
Of being, without alloy of fop or bean,
A finished Gentleman from top to toe!

EXTRAORDINARY PRESENTIMENT AND
FORTUNATE ESCAPE.

-~_

. .
About twelve o'clock on Saturday night last, as the.
family of Mr. Elsegood, Apothecary, of Park-street,
Grosvenor-square, were preparing to retire to rest, Mrs.
Elsegood hearing a noise in the street, desired Mi. Else-
good to look out and see where the fire was, which she
was sure was in the immediate neighbourhood, as a fire
engine had stopped almost at their own door. Mr. Else.
good looked from the window, and found that a chariot
which had stopped at the hpose next his own had -caused
Mrs. Elsegood's alarm. The family then retired. About
half-past two o'clock yesterday morning Mr: F.hegbod
was awakened by a strong sensation of suffocation, nod
was immediately convinced that his room was full'6o
smoke. He jumped out of bed, opened the door of hit
chamber, but closed it immediately upow perceiving the
staircase in flames. Mrs. Elsegood war by_tbis time iit?
strong hysterics. Witli a heavy :chair • Mr. Elsegood
broke through a nailed up door, which, communicated.
with the aoining room in. Which slept four of hi,
'children ands maid sereant. To escape was the next
:point to be considered, when he fortunately recollected
that three years before he had from presentiment prO,
vided a rope with a noose, as a mode by which to save
himself in case of file. The want did bat forerun his
'need. Faitelling this round the waist of the servant; he
lowered her first from the roof of the house into the
street, and in succession three children and7Mrs. Else-
good. Fastening the end of the rope., to a rafter, he
next prepared to descend himself, and had gone down
some feet, when recollecting that he had left a tin boa,
containing deeds, papers, and cash, on the parapet, he
re-ascended,secured it, and reached the ground in safety:
Then finding that one of his children was missing, he.,
dew to his shop, found the door opened, and the child
standing inside, having run down the burning staircase
without any other injury than the burning of its cap and
the singing of its hair. A servant who slept in the
kitchen was next extricated. By prompt exertions the{
fire was almost immediately got under, bate very find
lad who slept in the shop is missing. He must have'
been fully dressed with the exception of bis hat, and the,
shop door having been opened from the inside, leaves
room to hope that he has escaped but the cause of the
fire and of his disappearanceremains a mystery. We are
sorry to add that Mrs. Elsegood remains alarmteisly ill

LOSS OF SHIPPING Di Tat LATE GALES.
The loigantine Betsey, Herren Master, '390 tons burden, cair.e
on shore off Seaford Beach on Sunday morning, the '3uth ultimo,
about four o'clock. She struck at sane considerable distance front
the shore, at low water, lad for mate than-two hours the crew,
consisting of thirteen (one pf whom" was a woman, the Captain's
wife) remained on hoard in the most appalling state of danger. The
accident was speedily known in the town, the inhabitants of which
Rocked immediately to the shore, but stood for a long time inactive
spectators of the distressing scene, being utterly incapable of
Vafford-
Alaa7. ;effectual assistance. A mortar was fired' with Captain
s apparatus, but, owing to the extreme darkness and confu-•
deo, the rope thrown could not be distinguished by the poor fel-
lows from their own cordage. By this attempt, however, and by
Hite blue lights which were shewn from the shore, their spirits were
dwered with the hope of assistance and subsequent safety. About
albs o'clock the vessel parted, and the crew were compelled to trust
themselves to the mercy of the waves ; and by their own eitertions,.
'and the prompt assistance that was afforded them by many of the
spectators, who rushed into the sea for the benevolent purpose,
twelve of the crew were happily preserved, and without their re-
ceiving any considerable injury. The second mate, Timm As I IA ants,
(who, with two others, attempted to reach the shore on the mast),
was the uuly one who perished. The Captain's wife, a pleasing
young woman, was saved by the exertions and presence of mind ot
her husband, who, before they leaped from the ship, bad fastened a
rope round bet body, with which, having gained the sore himself,
he calmed her to be dragged front the devouring elente.n. The poor
woman was humediately conveyed to bed in a state of great ex-
haustion, from which it was some time before she ree Jeered. The
body of the mate, in a very mutilated state, was pieced up next
morning. The vessel, and the greatest part of the cre.v, belong to
South Shields. She was laden willt.timber, and bound to Hull,
from Richebucto, in the province of New Brunswick. 'lite Cap-
tain, it appears, mistook the lights at Newhaven Ilarb tar for those
of Dungeness. In less than an hour after the crew had left her, the
vemel•was literally dashed to pieces, so that not two planks re-
mained together.
NID`UA SEN. Dreams& 5.--Yesterday morning Mr. Honcsoas of
Birling, the eget!! to the Deputy Vice-Admiral for Sussex received
information that a number or pieces of timber had float 'd op shore
between Crowlink and Birlieg.gap, supposed to be part of the
Betsey, wrecked at Seaford, on the 30th ult. On Mr. HODGSON
approaching the shore, and examining the timbers, he was satisfied
that the timbers did not belong to the Haney. On proceeding further
westward be found, near Crowlink-gap, the anchors, cables, sails,
masts, rigging, acc. of a vessel, supposed to be a foreign brig; the
hull was so complete a wreck that there was no clue to ascertain
what her name was, or from whence she came. Every person on
board, it is supposed, bas perished. From there being no appear-
ance of cargo, it is supposed the vessel must have been in ballast.
A boy was this morning picked up at Birling-gap, supposed to be
one of the crew of this vessel. The anchors, cables, &c. and
mangled rigging, have been drawn to Birling-gap, the gap at Crow.
link being too bad for waggons to get up. It is feared Reuther ves-
sel has been lost on this coast, as two large spars have been picked
up amongst the Betaey's storey that do not belong to that vessel. A
brig passed this phrt on Wednesday afternoon, in distress ; it is sup-
posed the vessel lost at Crowlink is the same. -
The Grand Turk, bound to New York; and the Erin, ......,
bound to Wexford, were on shore near Liverpool on Friday night,
the latter full of water. . _

PIERCE EGA 'S INTERVIEW IVITH`
..
THU it ['ELL. •
-•—...--
It was nearly ten o'clock. on Thursday morning when
I sant my card in to Thurtel. He immediately sent an
answer that he was dressing, and should be ready to see
me in a few minutes, and presently afterwards I was
ushered into the office. Thui tell entered. He advanced
towards me with a cheerful step and smiling counte•
nance. Mr. Wilson, the Gove.rnor, was present. I *lever
saw Thuttell look better; in fact, his personal appear-
ance was much improved. He was fasl tanably attired
in a blue coat with. gilt buttons, a yellow waistcoat,
and dark trowsers. slit iton.f,:vahich are rather heavy,
were tied up with a silk liantlikrehief. His shirt and
handkerchief white as snow ;- his pin tastefully dis•
played; and his collar and wristbands Corresponding
.with the style of the present p: riod.' The following dia.
loguetook place the moment,he entered t
Thurtell—(iloldire, out his hand, with eat good humour).--.
What, Pierce Egan ! °how do you do? This is kind, and I amvery
.glad to see you (and immed:ately set himself down in a chair).
E.—You look well, Mortal; nay, you look as if yea had been
in training. '
T.—Yes, thank Goo, I was never in better health and spirits...-.
But ye.o are come down to Hertford to take a fen minute! about
me, I suppose (smiling). .
E.-.. 1 es, to cast say eyes around; to report what is going 0n....
You item,/ my forte.
T.—Yes ; I have often lead many of your sporting accounts with
great pleasure ; but I suppose you, like the rest of the Press, have
lashed me severely ?
E.—No, upon my word, I have not written a Single line at pre•
seat about you to the Pub:ie.
T.—Well, I feel obliged to you. But what a piece of work this
affair has made, an't it ?—(feeling fur his snuff-box, and looking
down at bis fetters.) What a parcel of lies the papers have inserted
'against me; and 'in addition to which they say I am sullen and de-
jected. Do ,I appear dejected ?—(laughisq. ) Those who know me
well, know that 1 have done nothing to be dejected about.
E.—You have seen the newspapers then?
T.—Yes, lam now reading the whole of them. It Is too bad;
the paragraphs are all false. I never committed any senses crime
in my life. My friends know it full well. You may belleie me,
Mr. Wilson,' 1 never was before a Magistrate on a charge in my
life till the present. Ido the crime for which lam charged in-
deed !—(indignantly.)
E.,--I saw Mr. Weare at Doncaster Rams.—(Tbe name at Weare
did not make any impression although his eyes met Mr. &'s,)
T.—There again is another direct fabehood among a hundred
others ; I never was at Doncaster in the whole course of my life ;
and I declare to you, I have not been in a gambling-house for up-
Wards of two years ; leardso nearly three years ago since I was ate
prize fight—not since Sanders and Israel Baum fought. I, indeed,
kill Weare, and take his money I It is well known that I have been
more duped than engaging to dupe others) and when I first entered
the sporting world, no, person behaved more honourably than I did,
'or spent his blunt more freely. There was bet one individual who
stood to he shot at like myself, and that was the late unfortunate
Elliot. Did not I make a fight at • Norfolk for one hundred pounds
aside, when I could only collect seven pounds, although I was sur-
rounded by all the swells in the metropolis, and 55,000 persons were
present?—('llse recollection of this circumstance seemed to give him
great pleasure, as he smiled and was quite aohnated.)
E.—l suppose you mean to read your defence?
T.—No, no ! I shall speak for myself—(and with much energy)...
and I will give some of the papers pepper for what they have said
falsely against me. But I shall not be tried now. I 'want three
witnesses to complete my defence ; but so much prejudice has gone
forth to the world, they are afraid to come; they must put it vg
without they mean to murder me. But Ido not like ......-....; you $
understand me?
E...;-I understand you wished to have Mr. Charles Pearson to
conduct your defence. . • .
T.—Yes, yea; indeed I did; he is a clever fellow; but he. Is in
too much difficulties to appear in Court for me. When did you see
Ides last 1 ..
E.—About a month since, at Brighton.
T.—(laughing.)—At Brighton ! Aye, he wished me to appear
some time since on the stage, as Hi hard the 77tird. o:ay.—(til:col-
lecting himself, .and rasing from his seat. with the greatest iodig.
nation.) Could anything be more cruel, unmanly, or diaboli-
cal, than to publish In a playbill at the Surrey Theatre, that the
Shake and horse should be eshibited in which it is said I committed
the murder? It is a moat infamous falsehood; and the Frees has
dealt with. me most unfairly.
Mr. Wilson.—Mr. Tburtell, I wish to call your attention-to a let-
ter I have received from Barber Beaumont. He wished me to reedit .
to you. He wisbes you to answer whether you set your house en fire?
T.--(With great indignation)What do.you think of such a
