JUNE 28.

William Jones, aloap.boiler, for affaulting a
revenue officer, Witt fentenced to two weeks int-
ptifonment. It appeared, that the revenue oiEcer
had bech very much in fault, and given Jones great
provocation.
'Rebecca Mendez da Coll was brought up on
Habeas Corpus. The return of the Keeper of
liesvgate Rated, th.tt the had been &livered into

Lord ELLsItIoROUctt afked if there was any
b dy to oppofe her difeharge ?
Mr. GURNSY laid, he wits infirueled by the af.
fignees to lime, that with regard to this Lady they
had no kind of anxiety, but were ready to submit
to whatever the Court fhould order. They had
bccn endeavouring with the greateft affiduity to
unravel one of the foulefi (cents of fraud.
Lord ELLFNEOROUCH defired him to confine
himfelf to the cafe before the Court.

Mr. Gulo4zy, after making a few obrervations,
pllovXd that the Commiaioners in their laudable
zeal to do juaice to the creditors, miblit have
[!retched their power a little too far.
Lord ELLEtinottoucti, with evident fymptoms
of indignation, laid, there was not the lean doubt
t:)at the Lady mull be inft'antly difeharged.
Madame Da Colta's friends immediately thook
Tier by the hand, and led her out of the Court in
u iumph.'
THE iI24G V. THE BISHOP OF EXETIIt.

This was an application to the Court for a
Mandamus to the Bi(hop of Exeter, commanding
him to licence a Mr. Roe to the LeEturelhip of
B emtiogton, in Devontliire. From the Aida-
vits it appeared, that the Laturelhip was founded
in the year r 568, by a Mr. Dodderidge, and that
the appointment of the Lahti-et vetted in his fa-1,
mily. Mr. Roc was the appointee of a Mr. Bar-
ber, who had inherited the right of appointment,
but Mr. Cooke, the vicar, refuted to admit Mr. Roe
to his pulpit, and the Bilhop withheld his licence,
on the ground that the appointee was a pertim not
agreeable to the vicar.
In luppore of the rule for difcharging the Man-
damns, it was argued, that the Vicar had a riAt
to deny the ufc of his pulpit to any perfon who
was ObtIOXIOOS to him. Noi was it in-the power
of any titivate perfon, by endowing a Leattrefltip,
to force a perfon upon the Parfiin who was clic-
, agreeable to him. Utherwice, all the good 'doe-
ti:ne he might have been teachiog in a morn
ptahaps would be undone by a furiou's fa-
natic mounting the fame pulpit in the afternoon,
and therefore the Bifliop did right to refufe his
licence to a perfon who was not agreeable to the
Vicar.

On the other fide it was contended, that if the
nerfon lecommended was nnobjenionable in learn-
ing and morals, in neither of which was it pre-
tended that Mr. Roe was deficient, it was the
Whop's duty to licence him, and then he would
have 44.$22portanity Of b contellinm his title with

Lord Ft tlxitottnuen raid, it was ci,nr that ro
pertne any new thing upon the Con.
ilitnti(;n of tlite Chinch, wheti;er by endowing a
I.eBurcihip or otherwite. There were but two
ways of tnaking this alteration ; 'the one was by
pr(fcripti-n, the ether by At of Pm-limn:tit.—
•:turer, in this cafe, could not civet a pre-
iptive tiglit to the pulpit, for they law the date
vheti it foil began. Nor was there any MI
of
Parliament. He, therefore, was of opinion, that
the Mandamus thould not go, as the perfon pray-
ing it had made no legal title to the thing, for
which he :tilted the powers of the Court to be put
in motion.—Rule difcliarged.

THE KING V. THE NIATOM or otroteo.

An application was made for a Mandamus to
be direacd to the Yslayor of the Corporation of
Oxford, commanding him to admit a pertim of
the name of Thomas Hammond to the Freedom
of that Corporation.
Mr. G: Las fhewed caufe again the role, by
Mewing that the party applying did not Rate wl,at
the real Conllitution df the C,:rporation was. lie
only Bated what was ufual, and not what was co
Ilitutional, in the Corporation, and thera.oreta
Rule was difcharged with colts.
The Court afterwards fat at Nri Prins.

We are concerned to Rate a very alarming ac-
cident which occurred to Lord SustEtvictr, oa
Sunday laft, in the neighbourhood of Catiiinbury.
His Lorcilhip had be, n for form days on a yiiit to
the Earl of Esstx, and was on Sunday forenoon
tal:ing his departure. He had not been long feat-
ed in his curriele, when his horfes took fright,and
ran away. His Lordfhip was thrown out,' and
fome of his limbs fractured. An exprefs came to
Lord Ess EX, who was attending Divine Serxice in
Watford Church. He inilantly let off in a pa-
chaife and four, with two Medical Gentlemen
from Watford, to the 'alnaance of Lord Swan-
viLLE,

. _
On Sunday evening, between eight and nine
o'clock, THOMAS HaitaiacToa, Erg. of Waltham-
hall, Elfex, walking in the Grccn Park, fuddenly
dropt down in a fit of apoplexy, and in a few mi-
nutes after expired in the arms of a Gentleman'
whole humanity led him to his Alliance.
Mr. kora Coutom, of Hull, brother to the
Mayor of that town, attending Divine Service' in
the Holy Trinity Church in the forenoon of Sun-
day fennight, fell down in his pew, and intiantly
expired.
Sunday afternoon a man and a woman riding in
a (Ingle horfe chaile, ran against the weft gate of
Sr. Paul's Cathedral, by which the boric and chaile
were thrown down, and the woman received ma-
terial injury.
A milkman, at the weft end "of the town, ofgood
property, on Friday morning laft, beat his wife in
fuch a dreadful manner, that the died a few hours
afterwards. It appears ha; the deceafed had alfol
a lifter who lived in the houfe with them as bottle-
keeper, to whom the milkman for come time paa
had (hewn a partiality, which had produced a
quarrel between the two lifters, and that they were
at words when he came home on Friday, which
occalioned his unlucky interference. He did not
offer to make his cfcape, but remained on the pre..
miles, where he was apprehended on the morning
following,
Sunday morning a &nor met in Paddington
fields, to fight a man of the name of Friday, of
piigiliftic note, for twenty guineas a fide. No one
would back the tar. a.bc Was a novice in the fcience,
and Jack was obliged to venture the hilt of his
pay, or forfeit the money that was down. For fe-
veral rounds he was compelled to give way to lii-
perior (kill, till placing a fortunate blow in the
domach of his opponent, Friday gave in, and Jack
received his prize money on the fpot, to the great
joy of the fpcltators.
A fingular medical cafe has arifen in Chichef.
ter, in the perfon of a cradled infant, who, left in
charge of a child, received into its mouth, rom its
juvenile nitric., a fmall two bladed penknife, which
being miffing opon learch, occafioned the oliferva-
tion of the lama's linen
.becoming daily and hour-
ly iron moulded. After a few days (true as
firange!) the handle was voided, and one blade
came away at the mouth, the other has not yet
palled. 't The extraordinary point of the cafe is,
that the child's ufual furiClions of feeding, digell-
ing, &c. have not become impeded. The internal
reparation of the inarument into parts is yet more
unaccountable.--Stl;ar Lhronic&.
A Female Prophet has appeared lately in the
Duchy of Wurtemberg, where, after having af-
kmbled a multitude of dupes, who fold their pro-
eerty, and &policed it in her hands ,fiat the pur-
pore of providing futifittence, they proceeded on
their way to jerufalern. In a thott time the per-
formed a great miracle, by fuddenly vanifhing with
a young-fellow, and all the funds pf her followers.
The boly troop have been reduced to the neceflity
of he Ting their way home to their country.
On Thurfday fe'nnight, about noon, an alarm-
ing fire broke out at the Crown, Ontwell, which,
together with three bottles adjoining, were totally
cool:med. A honk in the liable, and a bog ready
' for slaughter, perilhed in the flames.
A cottage belonging to Sir WILLIAM JERNING•
HA M, at Colleffey, was laft week burnt to the
ground.
Thatallay night a fire broke cut at a carpenter's
fhop in the neighbourhood of Tottenham-court-
road, which burnt for about half an hour with
confiderable fury, when it was fortunately extin-
guithed.
A letter from the departnient of the Lower
Meufe, dates that the fhtge coach, plying between
Maeitrecht and Sc. Trone, was burnt to allies, to-
gether with all the property it contained. The ac-
cident happened on the Bth of June, through the
earelelfnefs of a pagang.ar, who being alone, ft.4l.
