ABERDEEN, FEBRUARY 3.

By a letter from the mailer of the Charlotte of
this place, we learn that the was taken off Flam.
boroagh Head on the third day after the left Aber-
deen, by the fame privateer which took the Com-
mercial Packet. The mailer and mate were taken
on board the privateer, which landed them at Ca-
lais. We have not yet learned to what port the
Charlotte was carried.

The Jennies, GEORGE Item, failed from Gib.
raltar on the to ult. under convoy of his Majef-
ty's chip Sr. Doom-ruse, with a fleet of me•chant
chips for the Mediterranean, put into Lifbon, on

mage.
A Danifh !hip, valued at upward of to,oool.
having put into Bowmore, Iflay, in diarefs, was
about ten days ago detained by Mr. SIMPSOW, of
that place.
The Fox frigate arrived at Ellineur on the a4th
ult.

The Dolphin Wissisms ; and Three Sifters,
—, from Newfoundland to Poole, are taken by
a French privateer.

The Expedition which lately failed from Ma
dras, is fuppored to be deflined for Manilla, lie
chief of the Philippine Viands belonging to the
Spaniards. Accounts have been received of the
departure of all the Spanifh flips of war from that
port. The ifland is full of valuable commodities,
which have been warehoufed for Tome time, for
want of Chips to convey them away.
The feeret Expedition which ;failed from Portf.
mouth on the 9th intl. under convoy of the PROSE.
LYTR frigate, had on board the Bth Royals, com.

The Peascor frigate has again on board, at
Portfmouth, 224 Irith women, wives of foldiers,
and Ise infants. Of there .miserable women so
are pregnant, and they are tent to Ireland, where
there is no charitable eftablifhment or poor's rates
to afford them parifh or other relief.

COLLIER 'V. RAWLINGS.

This was a motion for a new vial. It visas an
a6tion to recover the fum of 6501. the confidera-
Coo money for an annuity of tool. granted by the
Defendant and to be fcctired by the fum of zOOOl.l
flock jn the Bank of England. The Defendant'
had transferred the Rock into the names of two
other perfons alter he had received the money,
and was going Alto the Eaft Indies when he was
arrefted. The neceffary vouchers of the transfer
of the Rock not being prbduced on the former
trial, the Plaintiff was nonfuited. On the part
of the Defendant it was contended, that being a
prifoncr' and fuperfedeable, this motion would
prevent his taking the benefit of a fnper/ideasi the
Court however granted the motion.
WYNDHAM O. LORD WYCOMBE.
A Rule having been obtained on a former day
to (hew caufe why this trialfhould not be pot off till
the Sittings after the next berm, to-day caufc was
'hewn againk that Rule. It was-obferved that the
fame motion had been made lag term on the part
of the Noble Lord, on account of the abfence of
fame material witneffes. They had then Rated
• the names of thole witneflis ; but it would be ex-
tremely inconvenient if Lord Wycombe were to
have the latitude that was now allied, and that
was not, as lie conceived, generally given. It
was now moved, on the part of his Lordthip,.that
- this trial fhould be put off on account of the ab-
fence of material witneffes, who resided at Flo-
rence, without even naming them. He did not
• acetic: Lord Wycombe of any wilful delay. It
was Rated that his Lordihip had let out for Paris
on the toth of December, and had arrived there
on the aath of that month, in order to find out a
Mr. Smith, who was an American Gentleman and
a material witnefs. His Lordship, when he was
at Paris, had a very narrow efeape from an infer-
nal fcrape ; for he was within a few yards of the
infernal machine that blew up in that city. The
afE.liivits Rated, that Lord Wycombe was on his
way to Tule an y to find out other materialwitnefres.
Mr. Eas KIN E laid, he did not with to deprive'
his Lordfhip of any defence he might have to this
aftion, but he doubted whether the application
donld be granted continently with the Rules of the
Court ; at all events, his Lordfhip ought to fa.
acne the Plaintiff with the names of his witneffes
within a reafonahle time, that he might have an
Omrtunity•of making counter inquiries. •
Lord Kravom" Is there any precedent ?"
In Rapport of the Rule, it was obferved that Mr.
Erfkine had furnilhed one reafon why The trial of
this caufe fhould be put off in addition to thofe
fuggefted in the affidavits. if the Noble Lord was
fo near the infernal machine that made the explo-
fion at Paris, that circumftanee would not make it
more eafy for an Englifhman at that time to get
out of Paris. But when the Court confidered the
dates of this tranfattion, they would Rte it would
be grofs, abominable, and feaddalous injullice to
the Defendant to force on this trial. It was ma-
terial to know that this aftion was only brought
before the lag term, to give them an opportunity
of declaring in an action for Criminal Converfa-
tion. The fcene of that Criminal Converfation
was laid at Florence, to which the Noble Lord had
gone to enquire for his witneffes. Two foreign
witnefres they had agreed to examine on interro-
gatories. There was no great fccret in his Lord-
fltip's defence. He Paid the Plaintiff had no right
to Rand in a Court of jutlice as a complainant on
fuch a fabjeft. Lord WyLonilie had been advifed
to let his Attorney know where he was, and what
he was doing, that he might be able to Rate to the
Court that he roily believed, in his confcicnce,
that I,is Lordlh;p was ufing the bell means in his ,
power fir
exered;tingthishiifinefs. If this caufe
ware to h: prtiiied nit in his Lordfttip's abfenee, ;
the Plait :iff might get a verditt for any number
of ihnoiaiii pounds. In the cafe of Colonel Slo-
par and Mrs. Cibber, it was proved that the huf-
band had carried tun pillows to the bed of the
adulterer. Now in the prefent cafe, the Court
would think that Lin J ‘Vycombe had been rather
harfhly dealt with, if after a verdict had been ob-
tained against him he thould arrive in this country
with half a dozen of wititzflis, who would prove
• that what had been done in Colonel Sloper's cafe
was done here. His Lordihip had met with very
confiderable obßaeles in his journey to Italy.—
nen of all, it was n.:cetfary to procure a licence'
from the Government of this country, and after he
arrived at Paris, he WAS obliged to have a Paffport 1
from the Minister fur Foreign Affairs.
Lord Ktoroo laid, he could fuppofe that it
might be very notorious that a perfon had mifeen•
dueled hitrifelf, and that till his Lordlhip had got
to Florence he might not M able• to furnifh the
names of thofe on whole evidence he meant to rely.
The-Noble Lord did not Rand in this cafe in the
ordinary fituation of Pefendante. His Lordfhip
might have had that kind of communication, that
filch Gas did occur at Florence as to induce him
to think that a journey to that place might be of
'treat importance to him as a Defendant in this
aCtion. This was not a mullion of z, nor',
far money to be paid. Said his p-1. am
iacEned to grant ib. iadalitact. I can rather

NO

fed than enters Why I-thlnlc it is of importance
that it fhoulci be granted. His Lordfhip thought
it was reafonable that the• Defendant, after he was
able.to afcertain the names of his witneffes, fhould
communicate them to the Plaintiff. He ordered the
trial of this caufe co (land over till the neat term.

CARL POMFRET.
Mr. PARK informed the Court that the Eatl of
Pomfret was attending to enter into a recogni-
zance. _

His Lord/lip, attended by two fureties, came
into Court and entered into a recognizance of
soool. and his two fureties, the Hon. Col. Fermor
and Dennis, Efq. in the Turn of 25001. that
the Noble Earl would appear in that Court on the
laft day of Hilary Term that fhould be in the
year of our Lord ;Sol; and that in the mean
time he would keep the peace towards all his
Majeay's fubeets, and particularly towards the
Right Hon. Counters Mary, his wife.
This was the laft day of term. The Firft Sit-
ting will be held on Saturday, at Weltrnialler.

At the IA general quarter-feffions of the peace
held at Warwick, one Charlotte Turner, of New
Mahon, in the county of York, milliner, was tried
for abandoning, by a canal fide, near Birming-
ham, her batlard child, (a boy between three and
loin years old;) and being convifted of the of-
fence, was fentenced to be imprifoned in the com-
mon gaol at Warwick for twelve months.—This
inhuman mother in the month of May, 1797, was
delivered a the child in the town of Hull, which
by the very laudable exertions of fomr gentlemen
at Birmingham, was traced out to be the place of
its birth.—Thole gentlemen being determined tel
proll:cutc the perfon who had left the child in In
dangerous a tituation, came over to Hull in De-
cember latt, to make enquiry concerning it; and
after hearing that the child had been nurfed by a
Mrs. Smith. who lives in Dixon's Entry, Lowgate,
Hull, they applied to her, and after making tome
enquiry about it, introduced the child, whom the
immediately recognized, and the child ran up to
her, crying. mother mother ! Mrs. Smith attend-
, ed the real mother during her lyingin, and had
no difficulty in informing !there gentlemen where
the was to be met with.—A warrant was imme-
diately granted by the Mayor to apprehend the
mother, in order to her making a filiation, which
(he accordingly did, and the was afterwards re-
moved from thence to Birmingham, and taken be-
fore a magiftrate there, who committed her for
trial. The following particulars mine out upon
the trial :
On the 16th of Auguß lah the came with the
child, by the Nottingham coach, to the Rote Inn, in
Edgbahon-Rreet, where the arrived between fever
and eight o'clock in the evening. About nineffie left
the inn, with the child, who wasthendreffed in a
white muffin frr ck, a beaver hat, with a gold band,
and tied with green tibbands. About ten o'clock the
fame evening he was found by a boatman on the
fide of the canal, near the Ream-mill, Snow-Lill,
in a fituation where,
.in the opinion of the wit-
nee', it was impoffible he could have got without
having been taken ; and which opinion was fully
confirmed by an accurate plan produced to the
Court and Jury. At this time his muffin frock
had been taken off, the gold band and Brings re-
movcd from his hat, and he was covered with a
coarfe harden pinafote, which appeared never to
have been worn, and, feemed to have been made
for the occafton. The night was extremely dark,
and had the chili walked a few yards, he mutt in i
all human probability have perithed in the canal.
It appeared, that about the, time the child was
found, the went into the Bird-in,hand Inn in Dale
End, where the fupped and Sept ; and from ,
whence the took an infide place in the Litchfield
mail-coach, and went off the next morning by 7
o'clock. She did not fay one word to the land-
-144, who waked upon her at flipper, in reference
to the child.
In her defence the Paid, that the had loft the
child in the tireet among a crowd of people, and
being inn &any place, the did not know where
to look for it ; but acknowledged the made no in-
pry after it. Oa this evidence the Jury found
her guilty, crtd the Couit fentetsced her to twelve
months' imprifonment in the common gaol, where
(he is to be confined in a folitary cell.
We fiocerely hope that this melancholy intlznce
of human depradity will be &weaning to the young
and thtnightica-.40 avoid the ftrll Reps into the
paths of vice.
It is with.true pleafure we learn, that the child
is likely td be taken under the pcnteffion of a lady
of di Ilinaion in theiteighbourhoodciDiimingbam.
