To-day the hare took acrofs the race courfe after
the company were moftly affembled, and created
. great deal of (port. Two honks only fluted for
the Hunter's Plate, viz.—Captain THOMMIN'S
admit borfe Macbeth, and Mr. Seem a's grey
horfe Macduff—they were well matched; Mac-
i.leth gained the firft heat, but owing to an acci-
dent he was obliged to give in the fecond heat, and
hllcduff walked the remainder of the courfe.—
Maeda was the favourite with the knowing ones.
There was alto a back race, which afforded ex-
tellent fport : two of the horfes got out of the
court and got in among the ginger-bread (Lands,

were a long line of coaches, chaifes, gigs, photons,

hreakfafts, dinners, and affemblies as ufual

The fox-hounds, late Marmast.'s (in Leitefter-

LAW IN? ELLIGENCE.

DOCTORS' COMMONS, NOVEMBER ts.
V/Aittlill V. WAILNKR.

This was a queition refpethng the validity of
the kit will and tenement of Thomas Pilgrim
Warner, Efq. of Surry-fquare, deceafed. It ap
geared that two papers were propounded by the
executors on behalf of the mother, and one of the
filters of the deceafed ; the one paper purported to
be the inftrudions of the deceafed, the other a draft
written from the faid inftrudions, but not figned
by the deceafed. Thefe papers were oppofed by
a lifter, brother, and nephew of the deceafed, who
contended, by their Counfel, that at the time the
teftator gave the inftruetions, and long before, and
up to the moment of his death, it was manifeft,
from the evidence produced before the Court, that
he was a deranged perfon. On the part of the
executor it was fubmitted, that although there
was undoubtedly ftrong evidence of infanity in the
deceafed at times, yet at others there was fufikient
proof of lucid intervals, particularly in the evi•
dence of the attorney who took the inftrudions
from the deceafed. •

The Learned Judge, after going minutely into
the evidence refpeaing the (late of mind and con-
dition of the deceafed, was of opinion, taking all
the circamftances into confideration, that the two
papers did contain the real mind and intention of
the teftator, and accordingly pronounced for the
fame.
