before the Alderman, for refiring to deliver a watch'
that had been pledged, wit?' him. 'This was a very
curious cafe. The pawnbroker-in 'his defenie pro-
doted an affidavit, tworn at Cuildhall, and
_purport-
iog to be made by the owner of\ the watch, an whicli
he aitedged having loft his duplicate, and the Toettnn
producing the affidavit redeemed the watch. The
complainant, Who had the duplicate, (wore that the
watch was his, that he had pledged it in his own
name and real place of abode, and that the duplicate
had never been oak of his poffetlion until his wife
went to redeem the watch. The affidavit produced
by the pawnbroker was (worn in a different name
and place of abode from thole on the duplicate ; but
it didnot fpecify the name in which the watch had
been pawned. In confequence of this informality in
the affidavit, the Alderman clireaed the pawnbroker
to make good the watch, which be refuted to do, and
(aid he &maid appeal again& the deeiften.

A ludicrous cireamaance nedttirtd lately in the
county of Suffolk, that May emu& foine of our nu
merous readers.—A gentleman with a fmall inde-
pendent fortune was farcharged for keeping a liter/
fervent, and not giving in a proper return to the ag
(altars; but he appealed, and pofitively fwoie that
be neither kept nor employed any male fervent, except
a labourer who fometunes came * a day to dein
his garden, could be called one. However, the fa: 4.

sharged him a fecond time, with the addition of an
tadiftent for perjury; when the gentleman appeared
before the Commtffioners with his fervant in livery
with him ; but to the no (mall difappointment of Mr.
Infpettort he proved his fervent to be a female in male
attire; and as their wdrihips knew of no law to pre-
vent a man putting his maid into livery, if he chafed
it, the gentleman was immediately difinifed.
COUNTRY Baux Novas.—ln confequence of the
immenfe number of local promiifory notes circulating
about Exeter, and the difficulties and lolls experi-
enced thereby, the inhabitants of that City on Tnef
day laft entered, into refolutions, recommending to
the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, &c. to refute taking in
payment of rent or tythes, any notes under 51. milers
payable in London. We earneltly hope this lauda-
ble example will be followed in all parts of the king-
dom ; for we are convinced the imamate quantity of
paper money in this country, is one of its greatelt
I mares.

whore ehareifter wan much better than his fortune,
and in the eonideace I repofed, I put him into a.
farm of mine worth one thonfand pounds a year.-
He wanted Coate pecuniary afGdance ; I had no
money to Aare, but I borrowed for him cool. of
fume bankers (not the aloft hone@ men in the world),
at the (edifice of 85 per cent. and accommodated him
with that amount at j per gent. interell. In &on,
my Lord, I alkedia every refpeft to him like a friend
and a gentleman. After this, for the parpofe of me-
diating with me, he applied to my game-keeper. who

. time I took the farm from him at his own defire: my

Lord, °brave, at his Gum particular detire. (The
goodnefs of my heart is my ruin.) In the conrfe of a
few weeks, I found the man fending my own corn to
