MARSHALSF.A COURT, OCTOBER 44

COTTLI o. STIPH ALISON.
A cafe arouse interell came on before Mr. Serjearrt
MARSHALL.. It was brought on a bill of exchange for
thirty pounds, drawn by Young, and accepted by
the defendant. It appeared in evidence, that the
drawer had ordered it over to a perfon of the name
of Ardeh. The latter paid it to the Plaimitl; a re-
friedable linen draper, who brought his anion. It
was proved, that at the time it was fo paid over, the
bill had about three weeks to the time of its becoming
due. The Clerk to Arden (wore, that on the day of
maturity he prefented the bill for payment, parr& to
accommodate t& Plainti, On his crofs examination he
Paid Arden kept a Staffordfhire warehoufe, was alfo
a linen draper, and accommodated Gentlemen with
difkounting bills, by giving them in return part of
the amount in cath, and part in goods. Arden had
large dealings with the plaintiff, and the Bill was
paid to him in the way of burio,:fs.
The befendant's Connie' contended, that the
Plaintiff ought not to recover, as he fhould prove
nfury. For this purpofe he called the drawer of the
bill, who (wore that he received 221. in ca(h. and a
piece of Irifh cloth, at the rate of jog fiieurge aid
threepence per yard.
Arden's &w;. WAS then called, and Rated that the
value of the cloth (which was (hewn to him) was
about tarofidringt aadjxpenre per yard, but admitted
that his wafter might have charged iticrefloiltings and
threepence per yard.
The Learned Judge obferved, that this cafe was of
tome importance to the mercantile part of the com-
munity. The dealing between Arden. and Young
came under the defcription of ufury. It was a very
(troll circumfiance, that the clerk of the former had
prefented the bill, and the Jury would weigh his ter-
timony well, with refped to its bearing on the defence
fet up—namely, Ufur y.
The Jury confulted a few minutes, and returned a
verdict for the defendants.

COVINT-GARDIII.—LaII night, Mifs SMITH, a fe-
cond time performed the part of Lady Townly, and re-
eked Co:. s's Ode on the Palm:, with inct ea fed effcet.
The haute was crowded, and the audience were loud
and unanimous in their applaufe. Between the Play
and Farce, the loungers in the refreffirnent.room de•
termined to pars away the time with a raw. Some
words, and a challenge, having taken place between
two gentlemen, an Officer interfered, and feized one
of the parties. Great indignation was manitelled at
this, by the Gentlemen prefent, and a refcue was at-
tempted ; however, after half an hour's confqfiun and
noire, the Officer procured affiftance, and fucceeded
in taking the gentleman he had firlt laid hold of, to
the watch haute, and peace was restored.

The own harveft in the Well is now pretty welt
in; the late extremely fine weather enabled the tardy
farmer to Pave his grain in tolerable order. The ap-
plet are now taking in; and though not fo plentiful
as could be expelled from early appearances, yet
they are a much better crop than the kit two fca.fons
haveproduced.

In the forenoon of yeller Jay, between ten and
eleven o'clock. a well-looking middle-aged woman
was expoted to tale, in Smithfield Market, by her
hufband, with a rope round her wain. The purchafe
money demanded for this fair bargain, was sol.; this
being confidered rather exorbitant, notwithflanding
the novelty of the article, there were few bidders for
Tome time, until a very confiderable concourfe of
people were affembled, when the lady became very
impatient for a bidder, at any price, declaring her
unnatural hufband had ufed her cruelly, and the was
willing to be knocked down at a trifle. Two guineas
were bid fur her by fame gallant twain; and, with-
out waiting for any further bidding, the hufband de-
clared him the purchater, and the property was re-
gularly transferred in the books of the clerk of the
Market. The old hufband departed, contented with
the produce of this tale ; and the new one retired,
with his bargain, to a neighbouring public-boufe.

On Thurfday another inftance of the furprifing ef-
feas of scaler was witneffed on a child, about five
years of age, at a houfe adjoining Apothecaries'-
Hall. The child unfortunately took up a bottle,
containing oil of vitriol, which it threw over the left
' arm, extending from above the elbow to the palm
' and back of the hand. In its courfe, it immedi-
ately veficared the &in, particularly in the bend of
the arm and hand: the bladders were large. Mr.
RIDDOUT, jun. of Paternofter row, at:ended, and for
one hour judicioufly applied the quantity of one pint
and a half of wther, until it was judged a fifticient
degree of cold (which it is the property of good
sosher to produce, particularly when the part is blown
on with a pair of bellows) had been effected. At
the end of the above time, the child expreffed itfelf
out of pain, was direCtly put tolled, and excepting
the arm being a little [welled, is quite well.

On Tuefilay morning Mr. Niou, the partner of
Mr. Vandeaume, beam and kale maker, No. 117,
Leadenhall-flrecr, happened to step on a trap door
which was kept for the convealence of bulinels. The
door by Come accident or forgefulnefs vas not pro.
perly clofed, and with the preffure of his weight up-
on k gave way, by which Mr. Niou fell down to the
cellar and was killed on the (pot. Au 'aguell was
held on Weklucfday e►ening. Verdia—Accidental
Death.

Yeflerday forenoon, about twelve o'clock, one of
the North Coaches. returning to town. in c3ming
down Alderfgate-fireet, ran over a man, who w: s
immediately conveyed to Bartholomew's Hofpital.
where he expired in a few minutes, leaving behind
him a wife and fix helplefs children to bewail their lofs.
