THE LING V. JOHN WAEE.

This was an information filed by the ArrottNEy
GENERAL againft the Defendant and four others, for
an afrault upon James Mackrell, an excife officer,
and tried before the Chief Baron, during the laft af-
fizes for Norfolk, when the former was found guilty,
and the other four acquitted.
On the day fisted in the indielment, being market
day in the town, the profecutor, and another officer,
had feized Come fmuggled fpirits, when the Defen-
dant, with four others, came up, and haled him,
trod on his ankles, and affaulted him ; when the
profecutor, pulling out api flot, obferved, if that is
the way with you, I can defend myfelf." He was
then furrounded by upwards of 300 people, who
forced him into an apothecary's (hop.
The Defendant's affidavit Rated, that he was em-
ployed as an affeffor of taxes, and happened acciden-
tally to go to market on that day, to tell Tome wheat,
and was, unknowingly, drawn into the crowd. Se-
veral affidavits were produced in his behalf, giving
him a molt excellent charatler. Among which were
thole of Lord Walpole, George Windham, Efq.
John Gay, Efq. Sir Roger Kerrifnn, Bart. Dr. Phi
lip Gardiner, and many other Gentlemen,all Jullices
of the Peace for the county of Norfolk.
Mr. ERSKINE and Mr. Serjeant BEST made a few
obfervations on the part of the Defendant, in miti-
gation of punilhment.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL, for the Crown, obferv-
ed, that if the Defendant came to the market by ac-
cident, he mull have ;teed in the manner he had
done, from his love of riot.
The Court ordered him to be committed, and
brought up again on Monday.

THS KING V. TWIRLING AND OTHERI.

The Soxictroa GENERAL prayed the judgment
of the Court on Edmund Durling and Thomas Mar-
tin, for affaulting an Excite Officer, and obllruaing
him in the execution of his office—convgted at the
htft Affixes for the county of Kent.
The Defendants, upon a nominal fine, were order-
ed conditionally to be enlarged.

THE RING V. BISHOP AND ANOTHER.

On the motton of the Souctroß Gtuittec, Tho.

mas Bilhop and Walter Guy came to receive the
judgment of the Court, convieted at the tan affixes
for Suffer, for obltrueling art officer of the revenue in
the execution of his oflicc.
The report of Mr. Juana }frail', before whom
the prifoners were tried, being read, and Mr. Serjeant
BEST being heaid fur the Defendants, and the Sou.
crroa Grail/li. for the Crown, the Court ordered
them to be committed to Nevegate, and brought up
on Monday next for judgment.
THE KING Z. T. W. SORTS.

.....
Cumoon moved that the Defendant Might
be brought into Court to receive judgment.
The SOLICiTOR GENERAL obfcrved, that the De-
fendant had pleaded guilty the other day to an in-
diftment, by which he confrffed he had, as a purer
of a Inip of war, forged the Captain's certificate to
documents fpecifying his having fbpplied the Ihip
with various things, and obtained money on thefe falfe
documents at the Viaualling Office—he was furpec•
ted of ir. The Commiffioners wrote to the Captain
to Make iuquiry if that *as true ? The Defendant

contrived to intercept that letter, and to anfwer ;i
himfelf, in the Captain's name, Bating that he had
made inquiry, and found that the Purfer was inno.
cent of the charges—that he had been guilty °C rme
irregularities, but that he was not dith 'nett ; upon
which the Commiglioners, thinking this, letter came
from the Captain, ordered the Poi ler to be conti-
nued in his employment ; the tile he made of which
was,. to continue his pra&ice of forging vouchers. dre.
There was no affidavit of there tails now, becaufe
the Captain was off Boulogne—but the Court would
not •difpote of fuch a cafe as this without fuch an al.
1 &davit.

The Defendant was ordered to remain in catiodk
uctil the next term.

THE KING V. GORGES LOWTHER, ESQ...
This perfon, who was now brought up to receive
the judgment of the Court, had been tried before Mr.
Baron Graham, at the laft affizes for Wiltfhire. for
fending a defaMatory letter to J. Batt, Efq. a Magi-
(irate of the fame county. It appeared from the
notes taken by the Learned Judge at the trial (tl.is
day re.,d by Mr. Juttice Ls BLANC) that Mr. Low.
ther had employed a perfon of the name of Sap to
dig a well, and in contequenee r,t vatinus frauds
which were prailifed upon him by that per fm, he re-
futed to fatisfy him by paying him his whole Jernand.
The labourer applied to the Magi Itrate,, t:nong whom
Mr. Batt prefided, to compel the dcleiZint t,r fulfil
his engagement. Three feveral Comm wiles were if.
fued by the Bench, and three times was tiop's com-
plaint LW-miffed, and the whole affair teemed to have
arrived at its condemn. Mr. Lowther was, however.
altonifhed on receiving a fourth notice his attend-
ance : being irritated at this cppoiltion, ha fent the
following letter to Mr. Batt, the Magillrate who had
granted the warrant, purpofcly mifdirated to

"Do for Bat—.l flattered myfelf that the esplanation I before
gave, regarding Sop, would have been fati-tattory. Whether you
think it right or not to grant a Commons to a felon. I will not de.
termitic, bet this I know, that from you, as Jolliest* and Gentle•
men, I ibotill not have been troubled with au ter w.trr ant. I am
doubtful whether to attribute the sneafure to your w..,14 of ability
as a Justice, ur to your with. under the cloak of inacitterial digni-
ty, to offer etc a perfonal infult, and l than he gl.•1 to know which
of them I am to confide:it : as to the funioioni, it i, u ,uecctrary
for me to fay that I than pay no aztcutia:. to it.
(Signed) " ooanas LOWTHICII."

Upon this letter the Defendant was found Guilty.
_ _

Tfie affidavit of the Defendant !fated, that the let-
ter was dilated under the influence of the moment;
without any intention of derogating from the cha-
rafter of Mr. Batt t and that with oefpeet to the mit-
direaion, it was merely from the ignorance of the
name and profeffion of the Gentleman to whom it
was fent.

An affidavit from the Right Rev. Lord BISHOP of
GLoucsma Rated, that he had known Mr. Low-

ther a Commoner at Wincheßer School, and having
finithedhis (Indies there,hc left it with an unexception-
able character. In after life he ihewed more thad
ordinary zeal to protect the contlitution of the coun-
try in the moment of the moft imminent danger, as
Captain and Commander of a Volanteer Corps, in
Hamplhire, during the long space of nine years. He
was patticularly &dive in quailing the rebellion in
Ireland; was a man of family, education, and mo-
rals, and the Taft perfon who would at in contradic-
tion to thofe laws,lor which he had undergone dan-
gers, deprivations, and difficulties.
By the affidavits of Lord RADNOR and Mr. Aye,'
Magiftrates of the county of Wilts, it appeared, that
a fun had been commenced, and was then proceed-
ing under the direction of the Defendant, to try their
jurifdiEtion to decide the queition.between him and

Sop, which had been dilptited by Mr. Lowther.
Mr. 'INTL, Mr. ERSKINE, and Mr. Serjeant Laws.
addreffed the Court on the part of the Defendant.—
They faid they laboured, in the prefent cafe, under
no filch embarraffment as was ufirally felt by Coun-
fel in fubmitting to their Lordthips the common to-
pics in mitigation of puniffiment—but here they hutt-
ed they fhould not be confidered to waste the time of
the Court. They did not Rand here fora malignant
libeller ; for, even in that cafe, they fhonld think it
their duty to addrefs the Court, however they might
rejoice at the fentence which was pronounced, but
they Rood up for a man " injured and hurt, and
perplexed in the extreme." Twice did this gentle-
man receive the thanks of the county of Hants, and
twice did he deferve them—but he ftxned, as a man,
to be the founder of his own praife in his affidavit.
—The ableft rhetorician or logician that the world
ever prbduced, could not hare couched a libel in lets
offenfive terms. It was faid, that the Sun bad its
flaws,
and they might compare this gentleman to the
bright otb of day ; but where •were his blemifhes ?
The moll that could be alledged againft him was,
that he was irritated (and jutily irritated) againit
Mr. Batt; for the vexatious proceedings which were
had againh him. Frotu the high encomium. which
bad been beßowed upon his charafter by a Right Re-
verend Prelate, could their Lordfh;ps believe him
guilty of intentionally writing this libel i They efieem-
ed it to be an honour to be his Counfel ; and for the
dignity of that gentleman, ;hey trual.d the Court
would not confider the letter, upon wiii;:h the prole..
cution was inftituted, a libel againit ti.az Conflitutiou
which he had fhevin fo much zeal to fupport.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL and Mr. CA,teow, for
the profecution, laid, that the Profecutor and the
Defendant teemed to have chargzd places, and that
the Connie! for Mr. Lowther contidered it a mere
matter of form that he was brought up to receive die
fentence of the Court ; that the Defendant was to be
compared to a conftellation of virtues, or the fun at
noon-day, whofe blots could fcarcely be perceived,
and that the crime for which he was brought on the
floor, before their Lordlhips, hardly deterved the
name of an offence. He had received a crown of
glory for his military atchievernents, and an unble-
malted character from the Bishop of GLOUCRSTERs
but that was no reafon why he thould libel the Jut.-
tires of the Peace, to whole jurifdiEtion. the Learned
Couplet would venture to fay, he was labial. They.
were far from preffing a cafe, but they hoped their
Lurdfhips would view it in a very different light from
the Counfel for the Defendant, and would vifit the
offence by a very feriouspuniffinient.
Lorll Et.t. ansoaouom—,, lithe Court thould take
flirther time to confider, is there any with, on the
part of the Crown, that Mr. Lowther thouid be com-
mitted ?"

COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER zo.

DnLnFlt I% LnItIIHeNIINGEI,I.I/ AND MP. %I:MASSON,.
The Phtintitl in this cafe I ad filed a bill. calling up-
on the Defetalant I. 1 an account and difcavery of
the divide-al, on certain films which he tint titled
them to Mee:l in the Eneliik funds, on the account
of the Governments of the Cantons of Parne aed Zu-
rich, in Switzerland. The Defendants, on a former
(13v, had been refitted peril:ilium to demur to the
hill, and afterwards put in an an 'wet-. which the
7.,1a11er reported to be infufficient. The quettion now
care before the Court, as an exception to the report;
and the cafe of the Defendants was at-toted by Mr.
H. Lets, Mr. Wm:note?, and Mr. IGCtiAItDS. It
had, they laid, been admitted by the Defendants,
that they had rec ived chafe monies for the purpoles
mentioned in the bill, at a time when Switzerland
was divided into a number of independent and Sn•
veretgn Cantons. amonull which were the Govern
merits of Zetirh told Berne. In the year 1798, al
revolution took place in Switzerland, and in the'
year; Wowing, the Governments of the Cantons'
were diffelved, and the whole confnliti ited into etre
Sovereignty, under the name of the Helvetian Re-
public. They were not fimilar to leveral dittinat
hates uniting thetrfelves into one, with the contant of
their ref peative Sovereigns. In the ',relent cafe, the
Cantons, with all their ntiaht, rcfitted the revolution
m hich was imperial trpon them by the overwhelming
fitter of a powerfill Fienca a:my. Now, whatever
may be the cafe with :t chantee .if Government, effec-
ted by general content, the Court, they contended,
could not dVknowledge an authority which had only
been ellablithed by vie lence and the tword ; and the
more fig, as it was nototians that the Helvetian Re-
public had never been reeagniteci by the Govern-
ment of this ceuntry. Upon Ilrefe graunds, they
argued, that the prefent violent and forced Govern-
ment of Switzerland, had no right to claim what was
invetled for the benefit of other Governments,
now diffolved ; neither mild this fait be regularly
and equitably prafecuted, without making his Ma
jetty's Attorney General a party to it, as the carafe
was of the utmoll political importance. Their clients
were not the proper perfons to defend this applica-
tion, as they had no perfonal interett in the refult of
it. They aeknowledaed that loch fums of money
were now invelled, in :heir names, in the funds;—
and there could be no doubt that any order that
Court might make against them, would he a lafficient
authority for any difpatition they may make of it;
but, as the cafe flood at prefent, and the Plaintiff be-
g at the time of remitting this money, in the year
1793, an alien enemy, relident in Paris, they thought
it their duty to refill fuch an anfwer and difclofure
as the rule called upon thorn to make, and hoped his
Lordlhip would fatiation them in doing fn.
A variety of cafes were then read frcni the reports,
to thew, thre in fimilar cafes, the pra'lice of the
Court raw., to admit of an anfwer denying the tight
of the Plaintiff to tccpr;re particulars.
Mr. E /MILLI,- and Mr. Bs La, argued for the Plain-
tiff. that, though the nbjeation relpeating the revo-
lution in Switzerland and rite Helvetic Republic not
having been recognifed by our Government, was a
prong one ; yet at would be a dangerous thing, and
pregnant with very ferious political coofequences, if
tuch objefl ions were to be entertained in the Municipal
Courts of Plaice of this country. As no authori.ies
from Poffendortf, Grotitia or any of the other wri- •
ters on the law of nations, had been adduced on the
other fide, it was not unreafunable to infer, that
none tech could he quoted ; and, taking it even as
a qucilion of policy, what might be tire confequences
if filch cloOriner fhould be eliabliffied ? Gentlemen
would hardly contend, that, if a foreign government
inverted money in the funds of another, the debt was
cancelled by any changes that might take place in
the condition of the former. Let it he fuppofed, for
inflame, that a firm cf money, on the part of the
Englifh Government, had been vetted in the funds
of Genoa, previoully to the Unien with Scotland,
they afked, would the Municipal Courts of Genoa
be jultificd in laying, " A great change has fince
taken place in your government, and, as ours has
not recognifed that of Great Britain, that cannot
now be demanded, which was invelled in the
name of your former government ?" The political
changes which a Gate may undergo; could have rn
to do with a claim of this nature. The agent
of the Officers or Principal Magitliates under the
former cennitutions of Berne and Zutich, had re-
mitted t 1 money for the benefit of thefe elates;
and, though great and mater;al changes might have
filter taken ;lace, the Magiftrates or Officers now
invetled with the fame authority, had a right to de-
viand an account and difcavery of the money.
After a great variety of cafes had alto been refer-
red ta, in fupport of theft prepofitions,
Tire I.(bP.P 04ANCELLtat laid, that as a great tinm•
her of the cafes and precedents referred to were
likely to be atgned before him again, upon other
cafes new dependina, it was a fatistaalion to him
that he did not think it neceltary to have recourfe
to many of them in dirpoling of this cafe, which was,
• in many reit:efts, of a dillinal nature. After then
goieg through tome of the cafes, in order to point
out the aaplication of them to the prefent proceeding,
he laid, that, in the decifron be Iliould make, the
n-inciple he (Ironic' act upon, would not commit it-
Oat with the metits of the bill. Whethar there
onght to be any other party to the bill, was a qu,f-
tion which he meant to leave open, and fubjeet to
the diferetion :,f the Attorney General, whether he
Mould attend the future progrels of the proceedings.
—As to the political pert of the confederation, he
thotild leave it nut of the queftion ; far municipal
! courts wonld alway s do well to avoid touching on, or
intet tering v hit then;, except they happened in their
own count! y. The diffolutmn of the former cantons
of Switzerland, was, certainly, no civil offence to
~ England; and, as to the word " rev..lution," he could
I give nu legal eolith abut', of it. If the Defendants
could prove that the Plaintiff had no right to relief,
i they ors ht to have demurred to the rule. When
they did apply for leave to demur, they were !gored
i it ; and, as the efr..et of the prefint anfwer, if ad-
. mitted, world he to give them all that they could
have gained by a &metier; he was of opinion they

A molt curricula circnmflance refpeaing the ever to

fennight, at Plymouth :—As Colonel TYRWHI7
Vice-Vs'arden of the Stannaries, in Cornwall, and
Devon, was, with other Gentlemen, looking through
a telefcope at the French prizes going up the bar-
bestir, he ohftrved a fine little boy, of an open coun-
tenance, cheering with his play-fellows, and heard him
feveral times called NFLsnrt. This raifed (on being
often repeated) his cutiolity to know who the boy
was. Colonel TYRWHITT went to his lath/es cot-
tage, who was a quart v-man,and lived at Rutty An-
chor, under rite Welt Hoe. By this time the boy
' was returned, &II appearing thy, but on a little con.
verfation, this wore off, and the boy raid, Lord Nel—
son was his godfather, but he was thot and killed the
other day in a peat battle. The Colonel then en-
tered the hut, and found the father, who had loft a
limb in'the Mtworeue, in the battle of the Nile, and
his wife and four children, clean, though poorly
dreffed. Colonel TYRWHITT then afked if the cir-
cumllance was true of Lord Nt est-nes being godfather
to this little boy, and was anfwcred yea ; the mother
then produced the certificate of his baptifm, at the

CRUELTY WELL REWARDED.—An atrocious a&,

which too frequently tlifgraces the fireets of London,
to'k pl.tce on Wednerday on Ludgate Hill. A met.-

hi,rfe, wilt the butt•end of bib whip, about the head,
until the poor animal funk under the blows, and re•
mained incapable of riling. Several palTengets ex-
ecrated the inhumanity of the carman, and a fire•
man belongl.ng to the Sun Fire Office, challenged
him to fight. A ring was accordingly made ; and
in the cootie of a few rounds the carman received a
found di übbing, to the great fatisfaaion of the fpec.
tatnrs. _ _ _

Wednefday evening the walk houfe of Mr. White,
of St. Thomas's-fquare, Hackney, was broke open,
and all the family linen tiniest.
At the police office, Hatton Garden, yefterday, a
vet y decent looking woman was charged with robbing
a lady of the name of Tompkins, in Guildford-lireet,
of ia quantity of Sheets, which the offered to pledge
with Mr. Edwards, in Port pool-lane, Gray's inn-lane,
who, upon her mak;ng evafive anfwers to his quell

The ptiloner, in het defence, laid, that the wanted
fome money to make an appearance to go nut, but
that the would redeem the goods on Monday. She
was fully committed for trial.
Yellerday at Marlborough•fireet Office, a hackney
coachman was fummoned before the Magiftrate, to
1 aufwer to a complaint preferred againft him by a
Captain Stevens. The complainant called the De•
fendant off the (land at Chasing Crofs, and %Ora
he was alighting from his box, the profecutor threw
a bundle through the windliw into the coach. On
the door being opened, the Defendant placed the
bundle under the lid of the feat, when the profecn-
to; obfet ved it was his; but on arriving at Swallow•
Ricer, the-Defendant refuted to let him have the
bundle. and perfilled in the fame, until the hole
cuter thould fay what it contained. The Captain
ordered the coach to be driven to his own !node in
Q2:een Anit-greet, when the bundle was delivered
The Defendant Rated, that a gentleman had left Ids
coach in a hurry. and believing the bundle to be his
property, he thought himfelf juflifiable in detaining
it until he was fatisfied who was the owner. The
Magilirate obletved, that as the Defendant had not
made ufe of abate, but only infiffed on being inform-
!ed what the contents of the bundle were, lie had in-
' (riled on his right, inafmuch as the complainant had
I been too precipitate in putting the bundle in at the

TO PRA ED11;;It OF Thr ST 4R.

SI P. —Y,-,or Ccrrefpondent Tit in your paper
of this day, reprobates thew ilful efcape of a vedel,
after fhe has (hock her colours. Let us ter the merits
of fuch a cafe.
I apprehend, that when a velrel bikes her colours,
it is an acknowledgment that fhe i' conquered, and
that it is a fignal for her enemy to come and take pt.f-
fellion of her, and to the doing of which the will not
make any opp,)fition.. and that both officers and crew
quietly ['Omit, either to removal, or filch restraint
and confinement as the vidors choofe to put them
under, for their own safety. This is certainly the
whole of the duty of the vanquithed.
But if the vinors neglect to take polT, either
through inability, or any other cattle, the beaten veil
fel may honourably rehoill her colo..rs, and renew
the engagement, or make her efcape if the can. But
it would be murder was the to Lill any of her adver-
&ties, whilft her flag was down, either by attacking.
them in their own velfel, or in defending themfaves
from being boarded.
Again—After poireffion is taken, and the prize co-
lours are hated, I apprehend the prifoners may ho-
nourably re-take the veffel if they can. As a proof of
this, we publicly give rewards for many in(tnnces of
this kind, at Lloyd's, and which arc always confidered
as gallant and meritorious fetvices, but which would
be fraltorout and Afionourahle, in TelDliNT'S view of
the queftion, anti which, ergo, mull be tra;tcrous and
dithonnurable 1% thofe who reward them for fo doing,
hot to which doetrine I guefs he will not very readily
fuhlcribe. _ _ _

As a farther proof that it is In, all that fall during
the eolith& to retake a wife], are allowed to fall fairly,
but the moment the inforgents fubmit and are (up-
preffed, they none of them forfeit their lives ; they
only forfeit all claim to any liberty or indalgescits
which might otherwife have been granted, and all
the rigours of war, !paring their fiver, may be fairly
praelifed upon them.
As a farther proof that this is a entre& view of the
ftibjd-t, it may he observed, that if a prifoner of war
makes his efcape, and he flints himfelf to he retaken,
svitli. ut making refinance, he incurs no other penalty
than the forfeiture of his liberty, and the privation rf
Inch comforts as cannot fafely be allowed to a tnan
who has proved himfelf not fit to be united with.
Again—But, I think this mull convince T,t Int PIT,
without trefpaffing further on your valuable room.
I am, Sir, yours, &c. • LOVER OF JUSTICE.

Fies.—Sunday an alarming fire broke out in the
Ream-engine ar Kennetpans dillillery, near All
which burnt moll furioufly, and notwithltanding the
exertions of the fervants and others to extingu►(b the
flames, the building where it broke out, together
with the entire of the machinery and (lock of barley

Early on Saturday morning the Hitchin and Bed- I
ford waggon, and an errand cart, were robbed of fe-
veral valuable packages on Finchley Common.
On Wednefday evening, or early yellerday morn
fome thieves entered the dwelling hnufe of Mr.
Peodergrall, No. 1, Red Lion-fquare, and link 2so
guineas in gold, with plate and other valuables, to
the amount of between 6 and 7001. with which they
got clear off. The robbers bored a hole iq the par-
