at the entrance of the Port of Malaga, on the night
of the 11th of September. The Captain and crew
were raved.

On the evening of the ift intl. Mr: Itt ID; Super-
vifor of Excite at Dalkeith, with fome of his offi-
cers, met on the mad with two honfe load of fpirits,
etcorted by two (muggier:, when a defperate affray
enfued. The officers fhot one of the houfes, and
wounded another, after being repeatedly truck
with-bludgeons, and by this means alone were en-
abled to fecure the feizure, with the exception of
one tub which the fmngglers aimed.
We underftand from Bombay, that feveral thou-
land houfes in the town of Cacboo have been de-
ftroyed by fire, together with large times of ink.
The filk was depofi-ted in (mall arched brick build-
ings, like ovens, with the mouth to the ground,
to fecure them from fire ; but the conflagration
found its way to the filk.
Yeflerday morning, about half pall feven o'clock,
a dreadful fire broke out at a carpenter's yard, in
Leather-lane, Holborn, which communicated to
feveral houfes adjoining. The flames for fome
time raged with unabated fury, as no water could
be procured to extinguifh them. At length, after
confiderable exertions, they were fuppreffed. The
extent of the damage is not yet afcertained.
DISADIUL Acciosai.—On Wednefday night
a dreadful accident happened at the White Bear
public houfe, in Hounflow ; Mrs. Fifh, the land-
lady of the honfe, having fat up after the family
retired to fleep, at a large fire in the tap room, for
the purpofe of entertaining fome waggoners that
ofed to flop there, a (Wier who was quartered' in
the honfe, being in the ad of mending his cloaths,
(melt fornething burning, and called out to the
oilier, who was in bed, that foinethkg was on fire,
on which he ran down into the tap room, where
he found Mrs. Fdh ftretched on the hearth, burnt
to death, and the few remaining cloathi the had
on all on fire ; the foldier ran out and alarmed her
fon, living in the oppofite bode, who immediately
came with him to behold a molt dreadful fight.
All Mrs. Mies cloaths were burnt to a cinder, even
her flays and thick quilted petticoat, and her poc-
ket book was on fire, containing feveral notes ;
hot though they were fcorched, there was not one
burnt. It is fuppofed the unfortunate woman had
been (Landing too near the grate, when her cloaths
caught fire, the blaze from which inftantfy over-
powered her. The Coroiiiir's Inquett was held on
her body this day, and alto on the body of a young
man who was found dead in his bed.
Tali Moans& or Ma. STEILI.—In addition to
the account of this horrible tranfaaion, given in
the STAR of yefterday, we have received-the fol-
lowing few particulars :—The Murderers took
from the deceafed a tack flick, and left near the
where the body was found a large bludgeon.
Betides his boots, they varried off his flocking:,
and replaced thife ankles with an old pair of
thou, and a coarfe pair of old (Lockings, which
were found upon his legs. The hat which the
murderous villains left behind them was cut in
feveral pieces ; it had on firft view, all the appear.
ance of having belonged to a foldier, but on cider
infpeetion a difference of opinion feemed to pre.
Sail. The place where the body was found is not
above a mile and a half from the houfe of the de-
ceafed at Belfont ;---ti great quantity of blood was
yeacrday found buried near the fatal, fpot. When
Mr. STEEL! let out from town on Friday he took
with him a Rum of money to pay fome bills at
Hammerfmith, which it has been afcertained he
did ; the murderers therefore, in all probabilitT,
got but a very (mall boow ; and hence may, in
lonic degree, be aicounted for their thipping the
body of fo many articles ; the great coat was, in
all likelihor,d, buried in the turf, for the purpofe of
being fetched away at fome future time.
A l3riaol coachman brought word yefterday to
Hotmflow, that two Irithrom being overheard in
Britiol quarrelling, in kith, about a pair of boots,
and dropping accufitions againft each other, they
were taken into cuftody. Hopes are entertained
that they are the murderers.
Mrs. STIFLE had the news of her hatband's
death communicatie to her yefterday by her mo-
ther ; but with much propriety the manner in
which it took place was not mentioned to her ; on
putting a queftion to this effea, the was prudently
anfwered that he died of a fit. She is only as
years of age, and u hourly expeaed to he in of
her fecond child.

The Coroner's Inqueft were to have fat upon
the body of the deceafed yellerday at Howl'low,
but the Coroner not being able to attend, this form
of enquiry was pollponed to this day. CARP-
rut., and fereral other Police Officets belonging
to Bow.ftreet, have been fent in quell of the mur-
derers, and great hopes are e erj..2111. jjarAf.

COURT OF aura•, BENCH, NOV. n.

Du cat V. AMA!.
Tins was the anion in trover for tool. in which
the Court had recommended a motion to difcharge
'the Defendant out of cuftody on his bringing into
Court the key of the room containing the goods
fuppofed to be detained by him.
Mr. GARROW, Counfel for the Defendant, faid
he was under particular obligations to the Court
for fuggelling that the proceedings might be Raid
on the production of the key in Court, but he
fhould have confiderable difficulty in availing him-
felf of the fuggettion, for in point of fa& the De-
fendant never had the key, or any thing elfe be-
longing to the Plaintiff in his poffeffion. The in-
terference of the Court had, however, occafioned
an inquiry into the circuinftances of the cafe, and
if the refult fhould prove true, fome of the parties.
concerned would be called upon ftriCtly to account
for their condu& He had mentioned that this
action arofe out of a complaint the Plaintiff had
made againfl the Defendant, of his having robbed
him—the Plaintiff had charged him with picking
his pocket of his pocket book, but was afterwards
fenfible of his millake ; in fati, he found the book
in one corner of his pocket. The prefent Defen-
dant, Mr. Reeves, then brought an action for de-
famation, and a writ was ferved on the Plaintiff,
who immediately expreffed a with to compromife
the affair. On the part of Mr. Reeves it was Rated,
that the only objea of the action was to vindicate
his charaiter ; that until it was cleared pp he could
not continue in his office at the Theatre ; and as
he had been dragged to Bow-Itreet like a criminal,
the leaft he could require wai that Mr. Duncan
fhould pay the colts, which were trifling, and
make an apology. This might have been complied
with, but unfortunately for Mr. Duncan, he called
1 to his council Mr. Devallon, the Sheriff's Officer,
and afked his advice. Devallon had no objection
to paying the colts, but exclaimed, " he would be
d—d if any apology fhould be made." Mr. Reeves
then palifted in carrying on his action, upon which
DeVallon faid, " 0, never mind, we'll have him
fome other way ;" and he accordingly had him
arrefted in this choke-bail action for tool. for a
parcel of old furniture in the room he occupied in
the houfe of Mr. Duncan, who carried on the bu-
finds of a mop feller, in Little Wild-ftreet. It
was fuggefted on behalf of the Defendant, that it
would be neceffary to apply for a particular of the
Plaintiff's demand, and an enquiry was previoufly
made of Devallon wbo the Attorney was who had
feed out the anion. Devallon faid it was a Mr.
joftsua Lacock Wilkinfon, of Gray's Inn. The
Defendant's Attorney applied at Mr. Wilkinfon's
office with a fummons for a particular of the de-
mand, and a notice of bail; but Mr. Wilkinfon's
Clerks difclaimed all knowledge of the tranfattion ;
and the Learned Comfit added, that be had an
affidavit, Rating that Mr. Wilkinfon had been for
fome time on the Continent, had very recently
returned to this country, and was wholly ignorant
of the affair. His motion therefore was, that the
proceedings might be laid, the Defendant dif-
le...lzett the.colls paid by the Plaintiff, and that
and the Plaintiff might anfwer the mat-
ters of the affidavit.

The Court Aced whether any inquiry had been
made of the Plaintiff himfelf, as to the perfon who
aid as his Attorney ?—there were many perfons
of the name of Wilkinfon who abed as Attornies,
and it might be Tome other.
It appeared that no enquiry had been made of
the Plaintiff, and the Court accordingly ordered
the bufinefs to Rand over till a direa communica-
tion was obtained from hini. The Court f.dd it
could not aa upon the bare information of a She-
riff's Officer.
