The Comedy of Heigh° for a FLOand, which
was brought forward latt night at Drury-Lane
Theatre, is the altered piece that was brought for-
ward a few years fince at the Haymarket Theatre,
by Mr. WALDRON.—Forgetting that what is inno-
cent and laughable in a man, In a woman is often
reprehenfible and difguaing, he has thought to
manufaCture a Comedy, by reverting the Beaux
Stratagem. Two girls who pretend to be virtuous,
tired of the cold comforts of celibacy, leave their
friends and range the country in purfuit of huf-
bands. One aas the lady, the other the maid,
Hearing of an old miler's fon near a town where
they had flopped, a plan is laid to entrap him, and,
after repeated violations of all the laws of deli-
cacy, decorum, and probability, he is aCtually made
to confent to fulfil the willies of the amorous fair.
The foi-efifant maid is contented with an humbler
lot. The landlady of the inn has a dalhiag fort
who falls defperately in love with her, and withes
to make her his miftrefs. Ske encourages his ad-
dreffes in a manner that might in fome degree pal-
liate his intentions,andafter the thinks the has fairly
fixed him, the turns upon him and demands mar-
riage, They were walking together to a meadow,
where the young inn-keeper propofed to himfelf
much pleafure in tumbling the hay cocks.—Ma.
rids virtue is alarmed ; the flops fuddenly, and ex-
claims, " No ring, no romping ! no pried, no
pattion ! no ma:riage, no meadow !" Rather than
renounce her, he faibmits to her conditions, and the
has no longer occafion to tioa, Leigh/ fir a ,:lberre
The fubordinate char:tilers a:e numerous. We have
la prating landlady, an amorous miler, a country
bumkin, male and female, &c. Unhappily thcy
have nothing to diflinguifir them from the Lindh•
dies, milers, and bumkins who hav,i gone before
them, but infipidity and extravagance. Mifs DE.-
CAMP and Mils Mow were the matrimonial ad..
venturers, and the chief male charaeters were fur-
tained by BARRYMORE, DowroN, and Surrr.
A cheefe, called the Mammoth cheefe, drawn
in a waggon by fix holies, reaei:.d Walhingten,
in America, on the 29th of Deccn.be7. It was car-
ried in Rate on the tit of Jannai y, and prefentcd
to the Prctideut as a New Tear' Gift by three CL;-
gymen.

EXTRAORDINARY Eazitic.—Threc corn porters
were drinking together on IVednefilay, when one
of them, for the trifling wager of five Shillings,
undertook to eat the etywfiedpctiegr which the
other two then had on, flied in oil, and 14' a
potimrblyellow fonp, by way of [Head to this delceta-
ble ragout. Strange to tell, be won his wager!
The fame fellow once before undertook to eat as
much tripe as would make himfelf a jacket; he
was accordingly meafured by a tailor, and the
material cut out, when, to the great furprize of
every one, he eat up the whole inlets than twenty
minutes !

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KINGNI BENCH, FEB. 4.

'lle Court fat till eleven, junifying bail, fere-
ral of which were in actions brought againft Mr.
King.
The Common paper was gone tbrcngh, after
which the fpecial Arguments. Of the la.ter, one
was beard, not any ways intttre•fing to the public ;
and the fecond, of Hammond and Barclay, Mr.
Dick,u s argued for the Plaiatiff, and Mr. I.Va RR Fri
was about to reply,w hen Mr. JulliceGßO%F. faid the
Court was to go to the Exchequer Chamber at
one o'clock, and therefore he feared that if they
proceeded further in the f7:ci..l arguni‘nts, they
could not go through the bar with their motions.
The further argument was nem dingly pollpon-
polled to Monday.

CkItAtNAL INF( rsMATION.

Mr. Marmite moved for a Criminal Informa.
Lion againa a Reverend Gentleman and Magistrate
for the county of Montgomery; fur rnilbehaviour
and corruption in his office.
,:The circumftances upon which he grounded his
motion, he timed as follows :—that one David
Pugh, a farmer, was left executor to his brother.
He proved the will regularly, and took upon him-
felf the butthen of execomrtilip. The widow was,
however, defirous of remaining in poffeflion of
the farm and perfonalities upon it, which he
agreed to, the undertaking to pay the debts. This
was in the year 1791, and fn continued until Taft
December, when flue not pa) ing the delays, the cre-
ditors became very importunate, and Le having
no other :Ores, told her he null be obliged to en-
ter into poffeffion, tmlefs the fittisfied them. She
faid the would thrall the corn out and pay them,
and requefted a week's time, which he granted :
the however again failed in her promife, and then
be remonftrating, it was agreed that he flionld lock
up the barns, and in order to fecure himfelf, he
was to come again in a week's timc to fell fufii.
&nit for the purpofe of fatisfying the teftator's
creditors. He lived a conftderable distance away
from the place, and on the appointed day, as he
was coming according to the agreement between
him and the widow, about a mile from the hook,
he met a conflahle, who took him into cuflody, by
a warrant from the Rev. Gentleman, upon a con-
vi Lion for a forcible entry and detainer. The
convialon was drawn upon his own view, though
it was (worn that he was never near the premifes.
When he was carried before the fame Magiftrate,
he ordered him inftantly to pay the fine of tcl.
which he not being able immediately to do, he
committed him to gaol, where the poor man re-
mained a fortnight. —Rule to thew tante granted.
A Rule to fliew eat& was all%) granted, sv!iy
the conviainn Mould not be (loathed, on the
ground of informality ; it referring to the" faid"
premifes, when, in fa.% no premifes had 'treat
antecedently menti:ntd.

CHARIFXS T. IT'LL.

Mr. Couat Hort again brought forward this
bufinefs, which, ortr readers will recollect, relates
to a Foreign Bill of Eic!iange that had not been
duly proteßed.
Mr. Jußice Giros, laid, lie undernood that the
cafe had been ordered to Ilan.l 'over for the pur-
pole of being correeteslby Lord KrltN ov's note,,
or for a new trial. It was (laced on one fide, that
the proteft was really made, though not drawn ii;
on the proper day ; on the other, that it had not
been legally proteßed at all ; and •he Rill con-
ceived an alteratioa in the form of the cafe to be
neerifarv.
Mr. 6iies faid, it was not poffible for him to
fubmit to have it fo altered :is to turn the judg.
ment the other way. He faid, he knew it to be
the opinion of the Court, or, at haft, that was
the only point on which they had any doubt,
that the noting of the bill was pro:ening :t, and
that the drawing up of the proteti was only the
record.
After Tome further converfation, on Mr. Cihb's
Taying he had no objeetion to ftrike out the allega-
tion that the bid was not protefted on the right
day, the bufinefs again flood over.

MtWHEALS V. ROSS.

This was a fpecial cafe rekrved for the opir.i(,n
of the Court, it being an ;talon of covenant,
brought by the owners a a (hip againft the chat-
ter party, who had freightei her to the Wand of
Demerara, claiming a font of mosey for goods
loaded, and alfo for the dead freight on her return
home. The declaration flitted, that it had been
covenanted, that the defend int fhould furnifh a
full cargo of Welt India produce to be (hipped on
board ; that this was to be done within fifty run-
ning days after her arrival ; that fhe might fail
with the till convoy for England, after remaining
that time, unlefs framer difpatched ; that, in cafe
of failure, the demurrage was to be 81. per day ;
but thiit, in cafe the firil convoy did not fail till
after the expiration of the fifty days, though all
the goods were not thipped on board, the demur.
rage fhould not be charged. The.declaration alto
further fated, that the lip remained in the ifland
of Demarara for fifty running days; that fhe failed
with the firtt convoy for England ; but that a full
cargo had not been thipped on board.
Mr. Gtess, the Counfel for the plaintiff', Paid,
that the plea fet up agnited the claim was, that the
agent of the charter party at Demarara had a fur-
fictent quantity of Welt India produce; but that
he had not fufficient time to (hip it all on board;
and, accordingly, gave notice to the mailer of the
(hip to detain her for a reafonable time on demur-
rage ; this be did not do, but failed with the con.
Toy. Mr. Giles fubmitted, that this was not a
valid plea; as it wx, evrefsly flipulated by the
charter patty, that the (hip uas to fail, at all
events, by the firli convoy, after remaining in the
ifland fifty days. lie laid, there appeared to be
tome millake concerning the demurrage, owing
to the ohfcure wording of the covenant; but, how-
ever delative that might be, it was perfeilly clear
that the plaintiff was entitled to bring his 'hip
home after the expiration of the fifty days.
Mr. SCARLET, on the part of the defendant, en-
v:red at coma:ha-41: length into the cafe, attoupt-
_

ing to illacidate and reconcile the ohfcnre and con-
trad►Rory claufes of the covenant, and to trove
that the (hip ought to have been detained on de-
murrage.

Mr. GILES replied; after which
Mr. Jußice GROSE delivered his opinion—he
laid the covenant had ftipulated that, if the de-
fendant did not provide a full 3 cargo, he was to
pay the dead freight for whatever the deficiency
might be. Thule was a confiderable tkficitney,
he bdieved about two hundred tons; but the quan-
tity was not material—le did not confider that
there was any bar to prevent the plaintirs re-
covering ; the plea was a bad one; and it was his
opinion that judgment ought to be given for the
plaintiff.

Mr. Juilice LAWRENCE (poke to the fame area,
and quoted a cafe in fupport of his opinion.
Sir SIMON LE BLANC agreed with his learned
brothers on the bench; and judgment was given
accordingly.

Nothing contributes to excite emulation in our
Army and Navy more than national applaufe
and gratitude; we therefore meg highly approve
of thofe public Exhibitions which commemorate
the glorious exploits of our countrymen, and keep
them continually in our view. But we earnaftly
advife Artilts to he cautious, when delineating
battles, of recalling the furrows of individuals,
whore. relatives oi recalling
fallen h, the ems..
flit% We particularly allude to that part of the
Great Piaure exhibiting at Spring Gardens, of the
Battle of Alexanchia, where the gallant Colonel
DursNs is reprefentcd expiring. The fubjea is
rendered extremely interelting by the very able
mancer in which it is painted : but we fear, that
amonga the multitudes wbo daily throng to view
it, many will be found whole griefs have been re-
vived by the accuracy of the reprefentation, and
the folemnity of the fettle.

out doing any perfonal injury.

Yellerday fe'nnigh t, abou t 1i x in the morning, two
fellows went into the Red Lion public bottle, in
Fleet-lane, Fleet-market, and Aced a boy (who
was •he only patron then up), for a man who
lodged in the houfe; being told he was not stir-
ring, they wanted the boy to go and call him,
iitying, they would make come purl they had or-
dered in the mean time ; this, the boy refu,ing to
do, one of them knocked hint downs and held his
nand over his mouth to prevent his crying out,
white the other took a dial that was hanging up in
the room ; they then went towards the door, when
the boy getting up, and following them, the villain
who had knocked him down, turned, and pro-
ducing a knife, favor the would rip him up if he
offered to (peak, or follow them, after which they
both got clear off. •
A few nights fince•a robbery to a very confi-
derable amount was committed at a linen.draper's
in Pinner, and thong fufpicion being entertained
where the property was concealed, a ,fearch war-
rant was granted by a Meagifirato in tlia npigh.
bourhood to (catch the premifes ; and, on Wed.
nefday evening, when Mr. Martin, the Headbo-
rough, was going to-execute the warrant, he ob-
ferved two men going towards Sudbury Com-
mon, who, he firongly fufpeaed, were going to
commit fume depredations, which caufed him to
procure two neighbours to go with him to watch
them, and they contrived to hide themfelves be-
hind a hedge, fo as not to be obferved by the men.
They faw them drive the horfes about that were
grazing there, and endeavoured to catch one, but
without effeet, till about fix o'clock, they caught
one belonging to Mr. Loofeley, of Harrow.—
They put a bridle on it, one of them mounted,
and was riding off; the other endeavouring to
keep by his fide, when Mr. Martin milted from
behind the hedge, and prefented a pilled, calling
' to them, if they did not flop and furrender, he
' would blow their brains out ; when the man that
was on the horfe difmounted, and they both en-
deavoured to run off ; but Mr. Martin came up
with them, knocked the man down that was riding
the horfe with the butt end of his pillol, and both
men were at length fecured. On fearching the
man who was walking by the fide of the horfe, ano-
ther bridle was found, fo that there was no doubt
that they intended to (teal two horfes. They were
both taken before a Magiftrate, and fully com-
mitted for trial at the =Cuing leirtous.for the
county of Middlefer.
