THII ICING V. VHS RIV. THOINII
The Defendant was again bronght up for judg-
meta, having been coavieted of is libel, as mentioned
in a former paper.
This day he prefented to the Court an affidavit of
very conliderable length, wherein he fet forth a great
variety of circumftances of great aggravationoipt
preffion, and injuftice, again it him, by the lite Mr.
Stylefman, too voluminous for detail, as they advert
,to tmniatlions of many years back, beginniug with
afts of kindnefs done by the deceafed to the Defen•
dant, but ending in ads of oppreflion, by depriving
'Omfatter of his vicarage, tythes, &c. although they
I had originally been given to him by the deceafed;
by prelting him for the repayment of money he un-
derftood to have been a voluntary contribution to re-
lieve him from pecuniary embarraffments, &c. The
affidavit concluded with the fincere contrition orthe
Defendant, and his admiflion of Inc impropriety of
his letter.
From the affidavits of the Defendant's law agent,
it appeared, that every pollible conceffion had been
offered on the part of the Defendant ; and various
Inapt:4lls to refer the matter to the decifion of their
mutual friends, had been made, but to no purpofe.
A number of affidavits, of great length, on the
part of the profecution, were alto filed ; but, owing
to the late hour of the day, were not gone into.
Lord ELLari 3°am/on afked, after what had been
read to the Court, was it the intention of the parties
to profs for judgment ?
Mr. Wri.som, for the profecution, answered, that
when their Lordfhips should hear thole affidavits
read, they would find all the falls Rated by the De-
fendant fully contradiEled.
The bufinefs was rhea ordered to Mind over for
further confideratioa.

Tuefday fennight was performed the tragedy of
Heald, for 'the purpofe of introducing Mr. Rae, to
this probationary reboot of the drama, in the verydiffi
cult chow:ter of the Damifi Prime. It is one of thole
parts, which would be the kit we Ihould recommend
a Tyro of the Rage to make his deka in—not only
front the many requifttes, natural and acquired, 'le-
nity to form a paten reprefentation—but alto
kern its haring beat fo repeatedly performed by the
sea eminent aeons, Own mike the great difficulty

in giving new readings. or of fertile imitation in
treading the beaten path of acknowledged excellence.
We mull confefs, however. that Mr. Rae avoided
thefe dangerous taverna—his novelty was the mink
of a found judgment; and when he occafionally re-
minded us of the tone, anion or geßure of a fa-
vourite actor, we felt compelled to acWtowledge that
it was more worthy the term of a laudable emulation,
than that of a humiliating copy. By attention to this ,
general fyilan. united with an elegant figure, an in.
tereßing countenance, and a full toned, harmonious •
voice, Mr. Rae's performance could not fail of being
entitled to commendation: but let us not, in bellow-
ing it, give it in In unqualified a manner, as to in-
ear the actufation of being rather the warm pans-
-gyriß than the dilating:wing critic.
In the firit fcene. we attributed his evident deice
to the timidity natural to his novel fituation, and we
Pion found our ft:mites verified. His fcene with
the Gholl evinced much difcrimination ; but we
thought it fgreatly farpared is the fribliquent one.
with Horatio and Marsellas—Mr. Rae here dif.
played that nnembarralfed cafe in his manner, which ,
can feldom be acquired but by a priollical knowledge
of the Rage. This was again arongly evinced in
sire mock play haw ; his toying with Ophelit, his
rivetted attention to the King's countenance, and,
his etultation at the fuccefs of his plan.were all given
in an excellent Manner. That ever effedive fcesse'

The principal defelt we obferved ih this gentle'

This is too common a habit on the leg., And, we
