The fate of the Quebec convoy has been chasms-

the SwaLLow, of r 8 guns, which arrived here la&
evening. and which be bad receivedffie day preced-
ing, from the Cp•serson, of 24 guns, that paled
this port yellerday to the Fkafiward. Whether from
this intelligence. or the arrival'of a Me/enter which
reached this place left evening. in i 6 hours from
London, we moot determine, bin Admiral Louie,
with fix fail of the line, via. CAIIIOP US, MALTA,
CAPTAIN, Gasses, Bet.t.aaornne, and Bipolar,

MALTA, Tnesaus, and Remise, and put en board
the Rove,. GIORGI, of too guns. It was expelled
that the !hips °edited would have been at fa EVI7

they did not fail, and are till at amber in Cawfand
Bay, without any appearance of their being about to

tukßat, ADJOURNIUS „ AUGUST Sp.
John Twirl; • yntfng Gerttfent4o, was brougai
pp. He was oppoted by Mr. Liwis for James Moore,
Efq. with whom he tilted the prifoner gad been in
habits 4 extreme intirnity. In fait, Mr: Moor! had
aged as a parent t 6 hien{ And had eepofed,that unit
in him which he ought to, have been the laa perfrat
is the world to have abufed. Mr. Moore, an enti
neat merchant in Calcutta, quitted that Preficleneyl
in sm, leaving Mr. Turing to receive his debt!: It
would appear that he had received of a Mr. Hunter
2709 dollars, which, inked of Omitting, he had
appropriated to his own ttfe.
Two letters from the prifonet *ere read, in which
he admitted the receipt of the Money and the appli-
cation of it to his own ufe, but their general content*
clearly inferred the necetlity for his doing fo, and
exculpated him from any difhonourable motive which
could bring him within the exception of the Idol-
vent AR.
Mr. Braham, the late Governor of Emcoelen,
Rated, that the young Gentleman seas under his and
F4r. M.,ore's protabon. After Mr. Moore left India
there was a change in the government of Calcutta,
and Turing, who was in the fervice of the Company,
was difmifted. He fell ill, loft the life of his limbs,
and had nothing but the money he had received on
account of his friend to (MAR upon. If he had not
come to England he mull have died, and without
money he could not have procured a paftage. lithe
young man had not had Mr. Moore's money he
would readily have lent him what he wanted. He
'bad advanced hint tome, Which his father had repaid.
He believed it was owing to a difpute between the
father and Mt. Moore that this money had not alto
been paid.

The prifoner was difcharged, but the Chairman
advifed him to pay Mt. Miscue, if ever it was in his
power, which he folernnly promifed to do.
Mr. Samuel Glover, the hatband of the celebrated
Aare(' of that name, applied to be difcharged. He
was oppofed on the ground that he ought to have
glen in his fchedule an account of his wife's profef-
honal profits.
It appeared that he bid no column] irhatevzr over
them ; that the Managers would nut pay theta to
any perfon but the Lady; and that her Salary,
though literal, was not more than fufficitnt to fop.
pen lierielf and family.—After foaming np the aft,
' be was difcharged.
James Whitchn.ch was oppofed by Mr. Lawns, on
behalf of a creditor, named William Pope, on the
green& of an imperfelt fchedule. This Creditor had
!
'NJ to the Prifoner a large quantity of pigs, to
nt of 8031. all of which he (non afterwaids
ilifetersi markets. But no witnefies act eltShig to
feels, the Learned Canard end~ to
upon the examination of the prifoner, that be
an intereti in a hook in St: Martin's Le Grand,
a favourite companion of his, known by the
noofiaPreted iPneterreerremd iresbutaaitd anopp:i/ieargfaheve
eilahlithed againit Nip, ie was accordingly
. .
CIIAILD TOM rtNl.—The enlargement of this
perks was oppofed by Mdirs. Goodwin and Co.
littera* Melts. Chalmers and Cowie, WS& James
*a4 thomal Tbompfon, and by Mr.„Graykey, on
tie 3gois fotion of the tlatute. which Slates, that all
pi Wooers who might have applied to he retested ino
der any former Infolveut Aft, and Ibould have been
remanded on the ground of obtaining goods on falfe
pretences, or thnuld have fraudulently obtained their
freedom by means of perjury or otherwife, Ibould not
take the leall benefit.
Mr. Lawss, Counfel for the opponents, obferved,
that this was a cafe'vehtre the public would derive
fingular advantage from she Refute, hecaufe it dif-
clofed loch inllances of fraud as had fcarcely ever
been pratlifed by the molt daring and pi dligate in.
dividual ; for Mr. Tomkins might, with the greateft
truth, be denominated the King of Swindlers. The
Learned Coonfel oppofed principally for Scots met.
chants ; for this perfon had thought he could make
an advantageous expedition to the Wirth, and bad
defrauded perfons in that country of property to the
amount of more than stool. The prifitner had Oct
the fmallea tight to denominate himfelf an infolvent
man ; for he was now worth many thoufand pounds
not introduced into the fchedule ; and thus a defett,
not to be corretied, appeared rn the face of that in-
firuraent. During Mr. Tomkins's confinement in the
King's Bench, he had frequently exhibited to his fel-
low prifoners notes to the amount of Sool. and had
loft at one time pl. at the game of racket, to Sir
John Ceaunt. To fupport this Ilatement, the Learn-
ed Counfel poffeffed, with raped to the game Mr.
Tomkins had played during his life, what might be
termed a check mate ; for when he applied, at. the
Middltfcz Seffions, to be difcharged under a late In.
fulvent Ad, the Magiltrates remanded him, on the
ground that-he had obtained goods on falfe pre-
tences, from Metro Kay and Proge, s, to the value
of a 131. Is. tod. It would be enough. therefore, if
the Learned Counfel could prove the Order of Sef-
, lions then made, and identify the pylon of the In-
folvent, to induce the Bench again to lend him back
into confinement.
Thomas Clark produced the original order made
by the Magillvates for the County of Isliddlefez re-
manding the Infolvent ; and Mr. William Clarke re-
cognized the perfon of Mr. Tomkins, as did alto Mr.
Robert Funnis.

Mr. James Freeman depofed to a converfation be
had had with the Infolvent, in which the latter laid.
I think your employers, (Mefirs. Kay and Co.)
ought to fend me in rwo dozen of wine, for being lb
good a cititcmer to them. I did for the Scorfmen.
and I (hall dilh you now under the Infolvent Aet,
and when you fend in your swamies' bill, they will
J—n you to h—ll."
On the examination of Mr. Temkin. with regard
to the cor,eelnefs bf his fehedule, he aloof totally
denied every charge which Mr. Laws. had made
againft him, and Rated, that he was formerly in
partnetlbip with a Mr. Schraider, who had fled to
Hamburgh. and for whole debts he was n liable.
Mr. MAILITAT, for the Infolvent, took 511"bbfwaion
to the Order of Seams made by the tilgiftwrcs of
Middlefez. He (aid, that it was ablVteig neeef-
Cary, in order to fupport the cafe of the Tipp:mph, i
&it that Retirement amid be regular; where:moon
the contrary, it would appear. that although it Rated
that Mr. TocuLins was remanded for obtataing gods

k frith Pretenies h did not, wit 046 in 6i4 hOnii 1
tat Per what thole Late pretences were. He ailudtd
to orders in the book of the Clerk cf ibis Coarti
i wherein the latter mode was uniformly adopted.
The CHAIRI4IIPI and the Benet were unanimous In
opinion, that both the objeftions made to the release
of the Infnlrene were valid, and he liras there're re-
manded to pilots.
Cheat's Buriotitt.—The objeltions to the re-
haft of this man were, that his Ichedule was defec-
tive, and that fence his insprifenment he had made a
fraudulent conveyance of his effeets, to injure It. re
to whom he was indebted. which was provided agginfi
by the 4.ad Section of the Aa.
Mr. M Paid, that the perfim it ihe bar, be-
fore his confinement, had been empl-yrd by w gen-
tleman at Streatham, as a gardener and bailiffs and
he had ordered a carpenter, a perfon of the name of
Wright, to build him a cottage, the dwelling he be-
fore occupied being purchafed by Mr. William Fehr,
of the fame village, and by him conve-ted irro a
laundry. The eroences of the erection had not yet .
been difchaeged, and Hundrill was in contequence is - ",
eollesiy. Thii cottage he had not inferred in the .•-•
fchedule, and he had, previoufly to his confinement. -
made an invalid conveyance of it to a Mt. Harmoufe,
for no coolidetation whatever.
Mr. Wright, being Galled, proved the oPenioil 0e
the Learned Counfet. On his errs examination by
Mr. Lawas, he raid, that he had Joined in a prefent.
meat to the Lords of the Manor, to compel Hondtill
to quit the place two days after it was completed, on
the ground of its being an encroachment on the wallet
but he confefed that his real reafon Pr doing fo, was
that he might obtain poffelfion of the cottage himielf.
He added, that no agreement was entered into that
it &odd be built for 301. though be had been fre-
quently advifed by his Attorney to accept it. He
knew, that the Infolvent, at the time of going to
prifon, was only a poor labouting man, with a wife
and three infant children.
Mr. Law, on the part cf Mandrill, thought
that a cafe, under all the circumilances, of more
hardihip and cruelty on the part of a credi.or never
appeared before any Court of Juflice. He would
prove, to the fatisfaaion of the Bench, that the In-
folvent had not the ulighteft intereß in the miferable
hovel, and therefore bad nothing to introduce into
his fchadule, for he had conveyed it, two or three
months prise to hit going to prifon, to Mr. Har.
moufe, for the valuable con6Jeration of soL
The Learned Counfel here produced a receipt far
the pl. given by the purchafer, but which could not
,be mark is evidence, oa account of the fuceefsful ob-
*title taken by the eppothe fid:, that it had not a
Alp& amp upon it! face. .
6714 r. Harmonic was then called. He raid, that on
the i A of Arch, 180,,,., he had purchaled the cottage
in queilion for 301. He was prefent at the time the
3ols"thit Offered by ;he Infolvent to Wright, for the
paynunr, which the latter refilled, protelting that he
did not want the money, but the cottage, and that he
would have it in time way or other. He (aid that
Hunch ill had lived for 12 years in the fame hook, till
he was obliged to quit it, when it was wanted, by a
Gentleman whole premifes were adjoining, for a
laundry. A bricklayer and a carpenter had been
employed to ere& the cottage, the former of whom
had delivered in his bill for the (um flipulated of 301.
but the latter (Mr. Wright), from that time to the
Pr relent had never made his demand, but was always
endeavinfring to ispprefs his creditor. The witnefi
gave the Infolvent an excellent charther for inbriety,
and Paid, that h: was one of the mot! honeß men is
the parifh.
The Bench confidered this a. cafe of the greateft
hardlhip upon the Infolvent; but, as the conveyance
to Mr. Harmoufe was invalid, they had no alterna-
tive, and therefore Hundrill was remanded.
The fentimeuts of deteflation at the condo& of
Ws ight to the Infolvent were. fo (trong, that the
Court was interrupted by the groans and hares of the
mob. Atter the decifion, many perfuns followed him
into the (beet to expels their indignation.
Mr. Robert Kennet was (visored by Mr. Moms,
on behalf of his creditors, for a defective fchedule.
The Learned Connie!, after adverting to the cir-
cumilances of the prifuner having been a bankrupt,
and convided of a cenfpiracy for defeating the fair
purpnfes of that Commithon, and of his having fuf-
feted imprifonment and the pillory for fuch ^gCnCe•
entered into a long examination of the prifuner, on
the fubjta of a Bill of Exchange of pl. which he
had charged againa Wm. Playtair, and other cir-
cumfiances of his property ; the refult of which
was, that the Court ordered him to be remanded for
a defeaive fchedule.
Many of the prifoners who had obtained their li•
berty, had refilled to pay their room rent, and were
in confequence conveyed back to prifon.
This day the Seffiosis concluded, after having re.
Bored to liberty upwards of 300 unfortunate debtors.
