COURT OF Kinrs BENCH, JAN. :3

FIRST DAY OF HILARY TFP tl.

Ather the proper officer, rtircuant to the Itatate
of the proem King, had read the report re!'pdling
the State of Health, Conduel, &c. ui the Convitfti
at Wool w lel!, .• _ . •

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE obfereed, that on the
&ft dayof the IA term, when a fin:liar Report was
read, he had Rated, 'what it was hi:: ditty to date,
that a certain complaint had been made that the
cloathing furnithed to the Convias on their beim:
dilaargeehwas very inadequate to the price paid
for it by the public, and that he had citified an
quiry to be made at the Secretary of State's office
into the truth of that complaint. His Lord'hip
read the Report which had been colt to him by
one of the confidential lirvants ut diz Crows, in
anfwer to that Irmaity, and the refult of this. Rc-
port was, that no blame attached on the Keeper ;
and, laid his Lordthip, it is the opinion of that in-
dividual•at lea, that the whole fyitem had better
be amended, or perhaps annihilated : I there-
fore think it fit to fay, that, as far as this is a
charge on the Keeper, it does not at all appear to
be made out.

Mr. Campbell laid he was extremely obliged to
his Lordlhip for the lakoblervation he had been
pleafed to make, as it completely vindicated hi:
character from an attack that had been made
upon it.
His Lordfhip laid Mr. Campbell had a right to
expect it. "It was my duty," find his Lord!hip,
to hear the charge made, and to enquire into
the truth of it ; but whcn that charge is done
away, it is equally my duty to fee that no blame
reas upon you."
Mr. ERSKINE moved the Court for a Writ of
Hab.as Copes, to be directed to Thomas Howes
and others to produce Letitia Fletcher, who had
been carried away in the most violent manner.-
1 That Lady was of the age of 25, and was there-
fore capable of judging for herfelf. She had been
under an engagement of marriage to a Mr.
Manton. Mr. Howes applied to Mr. Manton,
and begged he would bring her to the houfe of
Mr. Denton, an Attorney, who had no concern
in this bufinefs but to prevent violence, and whole
conduet on the occafion had been extremely com-
mendable. It appeared, that on the Lady coming
there they talked about the marriage, when the
expreffed her determination not to leave London ;
and they agaiML whom he moved came there to
take their leave of her before they returned into
the country. The houfe was loon alarmed by her
cries : they forced her into a carriage and four
honks, and directed the driver to go to St. Alban's.
Since that time there had been no account of this
Lady, and the objed of the motion was to compel
them to produce her.
Lord IC carom being informed by Mr. Ease tea
that his affidavits fwore that this Lady was in the
cuftody of thofe against whom the application was
made, defired him to take the Rule.
Mr. Rates moved for a Mandamus to be di.
reded to two Magifirates for Sunderland, com-
manding them to rcaore a perfon of the name of
Fortune, to his &nation of Infpedor of Raw Hides
at that port. He laid that by the 39th Geo. HI.
the appointment of Infpeaor was vcaed in the per-
lons of two bfagiftrates. A butcher at that place
had applied to Mr. Fortune to come and i nfped Tome
hides at his flaughtering houfe; he had very pro.
perly refufed, there being a place let apart for
them to be infpeded ; in confcquence of this re-
fufal complaint bad been made to the Magiarates,
and Mr. Fortune was removed.

Lord IC IN VON." Take a Me. I am forty
to learn that thefe places are fo lucrative, as to
induce people to be at the espence of applying
here."

John Clayton Weft was brought up in cuflody
of the Keeper of Tothilfields Brides ell, in order
to plead to an indiament, charging him with
forging and counterfeiting certain receipts, pur-
perting to be figned by kichard King, Captain ;
and Matthew Graves, Mafia of the Syrius fri-
gate, of which frigate the D,:fcndant was Purfer,
meaning to cheat and defraud his Majeffy of
571. ts. Rd. being an allowance of one halfpenny
per day to the feamen of the faid frigate. 1 o this
indiemeut the Defendant pleaded Not Guilty, and
was committed to the cliftody of the Marfhal of
the King's Bench Prifon.

dett, Bart. appeared in Court, and juflified bail
for 7401. for a Defendant of the name of Dickie,
