HIINRY TATNAL

The Souerrot G!PIRRAL moved for a Rule to
thew canfe why an attachment ihuuld not iffue againft
Henry Tatnal, for not executing the judgment of
the Court. A perfon, of the name of Sydney, had
been convicted of a very grofs offence againft the
revenue laws, and was fentenced by their Lord(hips
to be imprifoned in Warwick gaol (of which Tatnal
is keeper) for two years. It appeared from the affi-
davits, that this Sydney was promoted, by the per-
fon againft whom the Learned Counfcl applied for
the attachment, to the fituation of Turnkey, and had
been permitted to leave the prifon.
Lord Et.itsaoaoucit—" If it had not been for
the eircumflance of his being permitted to go at
large, I fhould not have objected. I recoiled an
inftance of a woman who was fentenced to be impri.
foned, and, by the gaoler giving her (nine liale in-
dulgencies, (he became a very ufeful member of fo-
ciety."

The SOLICITOR GrN[R•L—'. To prove his good
intentions, he told a perfon who gave evidence againit
him at the trial, and who faw him at liberty, that he
Ihould fool] be entirely free, and then he would have •
at him ; fo that he teemed not to be in a penitent
difpofition."
Lurd Eturitsoitovcit—" It was certainly very
blameable in the goaler to permit him to goat large.

Special cafe upon an Outlawry, in which it was
contended, that after Rating the Outlawry, the
words "as by the record more fully appears," ought
to be fet forth. The Court fcouted this objeaion, as
an unprecedented experiment, the like of which
had never been made Slice Weamintler lion was
ereeed.

Mr. Junice LAWltilleg Paid, that when the cafe
was lett with him he did not think it was intended
to be argued. He had looked, however, at the pre-
cedents in the books. In Brown; in Lilly Redisi•
•us ao ; in Lutwich 39, and no fuch words appear-
ed. The Learned Judge obferved, that the Court
had already too much to do, with being burthened
with thefe unneceffary points ; and it was a pity that
Gentlemen of the Bar, would not confider of the im-
propriety of contelling points which had nothing in
them, which was an abfolute wafte of the time of the
Court.—Objection over-r ultd.

COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 22.
In the cafe of Ogle, a bankrupt, Mr. RfialllLLY,
during the fitting of the Court vefierday, flated that
Colonel Ogle, who had become a bankrupt, had been
arrefied at the fuit of a Mr. Harman, and he moved
for his difcharge on the following grounds : the
Commiffioners lifting under theCommiffion of Bank.
ruptcy had fent a fummons to Colonel Ogle, defiling
he would appear before them at Liverpool on a cer-
tain day, in order to be ezaminef. Colonel Ogle
prepared immediately to obey the fummons, but
jug as he was about to get into the coach to let off
for Liverpool, he was arrefled in the above fuit.
It was contended, on the other fide, that Colonel
Ogle was not preparing to obey the fummons at
that time, and the Court ordered affidavits in fupport
of the allegations on each fidc to be put in this mor-
ning. The affidavits on the part of Colonel Ogle
were put in accordingly, and it appeared that fence
the matter was before the Court yefferday, feveral
detainers had been lodged againa Colonel Ogle, at
the fuit of different perions.
Mr. ROM ILL? now moved that Colonel Ogle
fhould be difcharged, not only from the arreft by
Harman, but from the whole of the detainers which
had been lodged, or may be lodged. fubfequent to
the Paid arreff ; and that fervice at the place of abode
of Harman, and alfo of all thole who had lodged
detainers, &fluid be deemed good fervice.
The LORD CH ANCILLOIL faid, he fu2pofed thole do-
tainers had been lodged inflead of the affiJavits, and
granted the order in conformity to the above motion.

This was a bill filed for the purpofe of enforcing
the execution of an agreement for the &le and pur-
chafe of certain lands in the parifh of Pcddington. A
Mr. Peters had made a parole agreement to fell to
Mr. Udney certain lands at Ptddington. Mr. Ud•
ney had afterwards written a letter to Mr. Peter!,
in'which he faid that he agreed to pay to him the
fum of money which had been fixed on between
them for the lands at Peddington. Mr. Peters, in
confequence, wrote to Mr. Collett, who was Solici-
tor for both parties, and ordered a conveyance of
the lands to be drawn. Mr. Udney made his will,
and deviled the lands in queflion. The queflion now
before the Court was, whether this was an agree-
ment which could be carried into execution ?
Mr. ROKILLY argued that it • was not. The Sta.
cute of Frauds required an agreement in writing,
and in this cafe there was no fuch thing. There was,
indeed, a letter which adverted to an agreement, but
which did not at all fet forth any terms of agree-
ment. Mr. Udney, by this letter, agreed to pay a
furn of money, but it does not fay What that furn
was, for the purchafe of '4 the lands at Peddington"
without fpecifying what lands were meant. The fla-
tote required that the terms of the agreement &outd
be fpecificd, or it was nugatory.
The LORD COARCILLoa faid it was well known to
be a (landing maxim of that Coon, that if an agree-
ment is made in writing for the purchafe of lands,
though the lands are nra conveyed, the equity it in the
purchafer. But it mutt be certain that he has it. It
mull be a good and valid agreement. In the prefent
cafe, could Mr. Udney himfclf have compelled the
execution of this agreement ? Certainly not—and if
fo, furely the perfon who reprefents him could not
derive from him a pcwer which was rot veiled in
himfelf. On the other hind, flip
died, could Mr. Udney have corm

to have executed this agreement?
and he therefore gave judgment

CHELTEvHAM.

TROU ITS CHRYSALIS

Our fcene of gaiety has at length, after many a 1
lingering gafp, expired, and the chilling gloom rf
winter has returned its empire. Until the prefent
week, a few chofen families remained, who kept co.
ciety alive, and every one enjoyed the bletling of un-
reltrained familiarity, in (pite of the malicious into
end() or vacant freer—But all are now fled ; and that
cheerful circle which did defiance to the (tern blalts
of November, or the pitilefs pelting torrent which
deluged the vale, is broken up ; perhaps never to
ar:eet again. Yet, to the Lift moment it retained its,
fplendor undirainifhed, and, unlike the fainting'
glimmering taper, on the contrary it expired in a
blaze—a blaze of enthutialtie patriotifm, of fervid
loyalty, of proud and emulons admiration at an event
tvh:ch, while it animated and rouzed ail the Reiner
feelings of national glory, funk, diminithed, and op.
?retied all the private and mote delicate fenfibilities
of the feeling heart. A more contrafted fcene was
perhaps never i.vitnefed than the Areas of Chelten-
ham prefented on Monday night. While every win
dow beamed waft retleEted !tithe, every garret boat-
ed its farthing rufhlight, and every tongue proclaim-
ed the Glory of the &Hard's of the Ocean-
- Her Navies
Putting a girdle round about the world-••
yet all was individual farrow I private mourning.
Pet forts of every defci iption were cloathed in " cu
f--
tomary fuits of folemn black," and, while they re-
joiced in the public triumph, e,rtfelfed the nrional
lots. Erin at the theatre, amidft the wildelt effulions
ofipatriotic loyalty, fcarcely an eye could reftrain the
parting tear, 'till the fofter emotion was checked by
the unanimous third for noble and dignified revenge.
Let this Mike home to the bofom of every Briton—
" The dreadful voice of war that rakes the land,
" The thenirring thi cats of France, nor their proud army,
" Itaifed to mil.: good thofe threats, affright nut us."
Let the name of NELSON be the watchword for Vic-
tory and Revenge, and may we never flreathe the
(word, until we have Bruck a blow, which may Te•

The Ball on Monday evening, being the hall of the
Seaton, was crowded and brilliant, though rather
fombre from the voluntary mourning.—After the
Ball, the Gentlemen gave a molt elegant (upper at
the Plough tn all the Ladies who had honoured the
Rooms with their pretence. The Countefs Kinnoul,
Lady Harriet and Lady Sarah Hay, the Earl and
Cranitef Kenmare, Lady Mary Anne Browne,
Lady Cahir, Lady Elizabeth Mathew, Mrs. and Mifs
Lawrell, and about fury others were pre tent. The
whole was under the direhion of Sir Wm. Brabazon.
Many more were expected, but from Inure &feet in
the arrangement, the bufinefs was not properly un-
elerllood. The company however did nut break up
ulna near fix o'clock. Lady Templetown and Mils
Upton are gone to the Dike ofPortland's at Bul-
P.rode, the Eat 1 and Countefs of Suffolk to Charlton,
Mr. Lawrell to Grolvo.nr-lquatc, Mr. turd Mrs.
Shaw Lefevre to town, and the few who remain have
given up all ideas of gaiety for the teafon. The l=ie
Nic Suppers have alto died a natural death, front the
lois of their patronek Mrs. Lawrell, and a few irrva-
lids alone Clay behind.

We gaud on Thnrfday that a duel had taken place
on Sunday between two officers of the sth regiment,
now in Canterbury. It is tingularly remarkable as to
citeurndance and place, that fince the year 160,
till the pretest time, the sth Regiment has not
beeu permanently quartered at Canterbury. On the
Bth of Match in that year, a duel was fought by two
officers of that regiment, Capt. FEW: H ROOK E and
Enfign ANTHONY BUCKFRIDGE.iII the Not th Holmes,
not too roes from the !pot where the one before-
mentioned took place. They fought with fwords, and
both died in the field. A done roughly cut, in the
boundary wall of St. Angutline's mnnatlery, marks,

FRENCH EspioN *cf.—A Frenchman, of the name
of VEau,ouß, was lately taken up at St. Petettburgh
as a fpy ; on him were diftovered bills and letters of
credit to the amount of 3o,ooolivres, though for the II
molt part of his time he pretended to fublitt by beg-
ging. In his interrogatory, he acknowledged, that
the money had been given him by the French Go-
Tetnment for pail Cervices, but not for fervices to be
performed. The French (pies but feldom make po-
verty a cloak to conceal their treachery, and afford
by it theirifiear in foreign countries an opportunity
• of proclaiming their real innocence from their arti-
ficial mifery. M. Ds LA TOUCHE CaUfed 11111TIfelf to
