TORBAY, FEBRUARY $5.

Lail night we had a moll tremendous form,
which flew fuddenly round from the wellward to
N. N. E. and blew with loch violence as to drive
a great many of the Brigham, Torbay, fishing
floops, and others from their moorings. The
Betfey, belonging to Mr. DUGDALL, and a Hoop
belonging to Mr. MATTHEWS, drove to the north..
ward of Brigham-Pier, and went to pieces imme-
diately. Another belonging to a' Mr. JOSEPH To-
Z ER, drove nearly into the fame place, and .the
not having a foul on board was taken out again
by the under furl, which providentially carried
her to a miracle all along the lee Shore, on the
back of the flay, among the rocks, till the mouth
of the Pier prefented itfelf, when the was carried
in betwixt near zo anchors, where no man could
have (leered her, and is faved. She belonged to
a poor old Fisherman. Eight or ten more are on
Shore, as are two bartve„ s from Plymouth, vidual-
lers to the fleet, which will, we fear, be either loft
or materially damaged. A man of war's long-boat
is on Shore on the rocks. The afore-mentioned
brig Flirt drove on fhore in the night to the South-
ward of Brigham, and went to pieces ; the crew
are all preferved : hundreds of men, women, and
children are on the fea (bore picking up the oranges.
One woman fell and broke her leg ; 'a (Lout boy
was wafted off the rocks and is drowned, his body
not yet taken up. The inhabitants are, as in duty
bound, rendering the diftreffed every affi!lancc.—
It is a truly awful, melancholy fcene ; feveral
others have drove from their anchors, but the
form is a little abated. lam proud to find the
men of war have rode well out. I do not hear
of any accident. A barge belonging to Mr. Pertii
SYMONS, of Plymouth, JOHN BURGOIN mailer,
drove on Shore near the Navy Quay, and is gone
to pieces.—Crew preferved. A Tittle boy belong-
ing to the brig Flirt, clung to the rigging, till cold
and fatigue obliged him to quit his hold, and he
fell into the fea.

L4IY INTELLiGENCE.

COURT OF FUNG',. BENCH, FEB. 27.
SOILLEUX V. ASHEIELD, EXECUTOR.

Mr. ERSICINI laid this aelion was to recover a
rum of money which fo evidently appeared to be
due to the Plaintiff, that he could not conceive
any poffible defetsce by which it could he
The Plaintiff was the bufband of Mrs. Soilleux, a
Lady who kept a French Boarding-iChool for young
ladies, at Kenfington, and as Ouch an ellablifh-
ment neceffarily required a great deal of money
to carry it on, the Plaintiff had been induced to
transfer ta,oool. (lock, his property, into the name
of a Mr. Fairhurn, now derealed, and whom the
Defendant reprefented as Executor. In conlidera-
lion of this transfer, Mr. Fairhurn became liable
to reinfinte flock to the fame amount when called
upon, or to pay an equivalent in money ; he had
partly done the latter : be had paid one moiety on-
ly to the Plaintiff, and it was fur the other moiety
the prefent anion was brought.
The Broker proved the transfer from the Plain-
tiff to Mr. Fairhurn.

- Mr. GIBBS fail he fhouW anfwer his Learned
Friend's very thort cafe, by as thort a one—he
produced a receipt from Mr. Soilleux to Mr. Fair-
burn to the amount of the (lock.
Mr. Ea SKIN. claimed the right of explaining
this receipt—he reexamined the Broker, who
proved that no money whatever paired at the time
the transfer was made, and Mr. Syms, the Plain-
tiff's Attorney, (wore, that fubfequent to the date
of the receipt, Mr. Fairborn had paid a fum of
money to Mr. Soilleux, which he had exprefsly
Hated to be the fall inflafiment on one moiety only.
Mr. Glass in reply tp this evidence, Paid, the
prefcnt adion was brought for a film of money
which both the Plaintiff and his Attorney knew
had been paid. Mrs. Soilleux kept, as had been
Rated, a Lady's 13oarditg.fehool, at Kentitigton,
where her hufband, the Plaintiff, officiated as
Punch 'leacher; but Mrs. Soilleux foon found
.that the could not carry on fuch a feminary as her's
was, if a perfon concluding himfclf as the Plain-
tiff had done was fuffered to remain in it. What
kind of conduit it was of which the complained,
he would forbear entering into ; it was fufficient to
obferve, that in an Academy, where there were
at haft half a dozen young ladies, of from z 5 to
16 years of age, the thought the could not confif-
tently with her and their reputation, admit of his
continuing to refide with her. She accordingly
inflituted a fuit in the Spiritual Court, pa obtain
a divorce a rseßfa a there: but in order to put a
flop to the proceedings, a reparation was mutually
agreed upon, and it vitas referred to Mr. Fairburn
and two other Gentlemen to determine in what man-
ner the property they poffeffed fhould be divided
between them. In confequence of this agreement
bonds of arbitration were entered into, and the
moool. was transferred to Mr. Fairburn, that he
might difpole of it as the award thould direft.—
The Arbitrators awarded that the money in the
Funds, and all bills, notes, and fecurities for
money, thould be equally divided between the
Plaintiff and his wife. Mt. Fairburn, it was ad-
flitted, had paid the Plaintiff one moiety of the
amount of the flock. His Executor, the Defen-
dant, bid Mrs. Soilleur's receipt to prove that the
bad been paid the other moiety.
The bond of arbitration, the award of the ar-
bitrators, and the receipt of Mrs. Soillcux were
proved, and the Plaintiff was immediately non. I
