TH It KING Ti. THOMPSON.
To.! A TTORN F Y GEN ENAL ram ed for a Certiorari
is. remove an iaiiiament againtl the Defendant from
the (1 after S•.ilinns for Middlelex, tot ohtairtince
money tinder 1-Ife pretences. The Defendant was
Secretary to a S ciety caiied the Philanthicpic An.
twit y Society, and upon liime diffnite, the members
ditmilfed the De feadant, who is an a:tarney, and
accufed him of ieceiving money Al the meirlsers af-
ter lie was hi difmilled, upon the pretence ot being
a fecretary to the company. The Attoroey Gene.
ral And Mr. Darrow HOW dated that it would lie-
ceffarily hapi en that the inks and orders of the
finiety mull come to be coafidered upon that iiidiet-
nient, and wiffied to have it moved, ill order mat
their Lordfhips might decide uprn it.
The Court thought it not a fufficient reafon for a
Certiorari that the conl.buiclicn of a wiilten holier
ment might be afcertained. It iii-nid at lead be
shown, that there was tome difficulty in it.
Mr. GAR ROW mentioned that he was afraid the
Attorney General and he had direkled the Defendant
to all, idge hi . affidavits by omitting the detail of the
proceedings and the articles, and the nature of the
queltions to be stied, fo that by the overcantitia, n t
to trouble their Lorcifhips too mach, they had pre-
vented him from getting his rule.—ltuie refuted.
spEacta.v V. DE %succor r.
Mr. GARROW moved f r a rule to !hew cattle why
'there fbould nit be a new trial. He exprected his
fenfe that 1.1.; mull pro tic: an extraordinary cafe,
alter the jodgment had palled two years ago.
Spencely brought a qui um a6lion fir tam y against
Da Willott, a Fiend] emigrant. De Chatisbona,,
another emigrant, was a withers. llarneit was the
attorney. Spencely recovered xy,cool. penalties,
became infolvent, and was in pilot., and being alit-
chat ged under the Lords' AO, a thort time ago, was
questioned as to what he had done with the 2y,c001.?
He anfwered, that he had 'striped all he fhotild re•
cover the very day befoie the trial to De Chambo-
nits. Chambonas was dim (tire the adual Plaintiff,
and as be was the principal witnef, if that IA had
been known, the Piaintiff could not have recovered.
The Court (aid it was imp stThsle to grant a new
trial now, but after tome consideration, they offered
to grant a rule to thew cattle ally the judgment
should not be Ict afide, and the Defendant dilchat get!
out of cullody in the execution.
Mr. GARROW acknowledged this woirld be more
advantageous than his own mot i-ti, and there being
time difficulty as to whether Spencely had (worn to
the above feels or dated it in his ichedule, he (aid he
would prepare hiinfell more fully to morrow, and
move the cafe again.
Oa Viiday, the Arroaasv GENERAL obtained a
rule to thew cattle why a criminal infarmation should
not be wanted againii a Mr. Samit• I Michell, for
ridiculing and caricaturing Mr. P inter, who is
the Vicar of the 'satins of St. Neitt's, in litintingdon-
fhir e, in the liberty cf liouth.liole. He ni .ved this
up n certain affidavits, which (hewed that Mr. Poin-
ter had fucceeded to the vicarage in 1798, and that i
his liipend way paid in many small tythes ; and his i
parirhioneis reluling to-pay them, he was tinder the
neertlity of filing a bill in the Exchequer, in older to
compel them. Upon a late occalion, when Mr. Poin-1
ter was engaged in divine ler vice, this Mr. Samuel
Mitchell, who was a confiderable farmer in one of
his pat iffies, was obferved behaving in a very indeto
rous manlier, looking up to Mr. Pt inter, and laughing
at the faille time ; that he had a piece of paper in his
hand, upon which he was writing or drawirg tome-
thing, and (hewed it to the varitais petrol:. round
him, in order to ridicule Mr. Pointer. He and ano-
ther pet fon with him had been occupied in drawing
a ridiculous reprefentaticn of Mr. Pointer. It was a
fig we drawn with Indian ink, repretenting, in the
upper part, a pried, and in the lower part a devil ;
the countenance of the man bearing a ttrong repre-
fentation of Mr. Pointer, and with thefe words pro-
' ceeding from his mouth—,, No pecuniary cunfidera-
tion will ever induce me to ad in a dithunourable
way."—Another tentence, was written under this
reprefentation, to this pin pute—" My anceflurs did
' nut know the value of tythes."—This figure was in
the canonical drefs, thereby !hewing more evidently,
that Mr. Pointer was the perlun pinta at. One
perfon Paid to Mr. Mitchell, upon (hewing him the
t tepretentation, that it was extrernely.like Mr. Pointer,
''to which Mr. Mitchell antwered—" Mind, I do not
tell you that it is Mr. Pointer." To another Indust

be Paid that he would circulato tso copies. The ob..'
ohjeCt of this fcandalous reprefenut inn vras evidently
to prevent Mr. Pointer front colle&ing what was due
to him as Vicar of the place.

The Nabob of Bengal has prefenled a petition to
the Court of Direffors, requetling permiffion to vifit
this country for the recovery of his health, which
for fome time pall has been much on the decline.
WHIRLING THR HOOP.—It haS already been hated
that Captain BENNIS T undertook, on Saturday fall,
f.r a wager of too guineas, to whirl a hoop from
Whitechapel Churgh to Ongar, in Effex, a dillance
of 211 miles, in three hours and a half, and from the
progrefs he made in the fiat hour and twenty minutes,
in the cnurfe of which he went ten mile, there was
little doubt of. his accompliihing the arduous under-
taking. It however appears, that he failed in the
tafk, owing to negled of himfelf. He proceeded
fnurfeen miles on his way before he took any refrefh
ment, and then he could only he perfuaded to (wallow
a little toaft and water. He then continued as far
as the 19-mile hone, when Le found much ditficnlty
in forcing the hoop through the mud, and it fell to
I the ground ; being neatly east:lulled, he retigned the
Iwager. The 19 miles he per formed in two hours and
52 minutes, having 38 minutes good to accompl;fh ,
' the remaining two miles and three quarters in. A'
great many bets were depending on the match, and
very high odds betted when it was found that he had
only five miles and a half to pet form in the fah hour.
I Captain BatiarrT, we underhand, has Iliffered fe-
I
i Turfy from an affeeinn 111 the eye, the cotilrquetiee
j of keeping it continually fixed on the hoop during
this performance.
I A curious match again', ti.ne, for the (mall wage:
!of 4.. 6d. was deciced on Saturday fe'nnight in
iSkipton :—A man of the 'tante of Duckworth, un-
dertook to carry one Kay, a robutl fell,w, from the
Ship Inn to the church gates and back again, a dif
tance of 696 yards, in ten minutes. After the bets
were made, Duckworth infitied that Kay amid (trip,
maintaining that though he had wagered to carry
him, it was no part of the bargain that he should carry
his cloaths. After fome hetitation he agreed, and
'I Balaarn mounted his iyi in a hale of 'utility. Owing
to f•me j ck:yllriN thr heat' of burden found chat he
1 could ma reach the gaol within the time limited, and
helping out of the road, by a hidden jerk, threw his
rider flat on his back into a copious heap of mud, to
the no (mail delight of the minteruus MA: and cemale
fpedtators, collerfted on this entertaining and delicate
loccation.

FATAL BOXINO —A chairmaker of the name of
Jones, whu lately obtained a vitt.lry in Harnpthire,
over a coachman of the name of Flower*, and who
has fince male blxiog his proletli n, met his death
on Friday lad, at Knight fblidvc, i t contequence of
bh,w, he received in a pitched battle at Dteldet:-
green, Bucks, with a 14AVI",i
h tor of the name at
cotirtnev, a fortr.iKht fince. such was the obstinacy
of the bat!le, which halted an hoar and a half, that
the pat tie* were taken off the ground alike punifhed,
and to (itch an extent that they were unable to walk
up to meet each other. They woe to have fought
the battle over again in a month, but death decided
the match. Jones had been unable to turn in his bed
since tie conflia, and the Ito vivor is yet unable to
walk.

On Monday morning a fcaff Id, which had been
erected at a gentleman's houfe in Upper Baker-Street,t
Nora:, gave way, and precipitated into the Street
five bricklayers: four of them were conveyed to the
Middiefex Hofpital, appaiently exphing,and the fifth
was [ACM to his own hook, not having received any I
material injury.
A few days fence the following melancholy acci-
dent took place at Ormlkirk :—The Rev. Mr. Ford,
of that place, having returned front a (hooting party,
took off the lock cf his fowling piece, with a view to
prevent accidents—his let %rant 111ot-fly afterwards tak-
ing the piece to clean, and perceiving it was loaded,
made leveral attempts to draw out the charge, but
without fuccefs. At lalt he reached a candle, to
examine the baud, when a (park fell on fome pow-
der near the touch hole, and the piece going off,
lodged the whole contents in his body.
Woks HIP STlti 5 T.—Yell erda v lame: Parker and
/ilizateii , mid) underwent ca.rnrioarion•, charged on
folpicion of uttering a forged Ipi.vicli bmk w.te, for
51. on Saturday tall. It seas Slated by Mr. Steelman,
who keeps a pork Shop in Shoreditch, that the prilb
ner Pat ker came to his fliop on the above morning,
where he bargained fora ham, and. thud that he
would fend her it in the cantle of the day. In the
evening the priftiner Smith came to his (hop for the
ham, and gave him the above 51 note ; for which
he gave change. Soon afterwards he discovered the
note to he forged. Search was immediately made
after the partners, who were both apprehended. On
the perfon f Parker was found other forged Ipfwi,ll
and Suffolk bank notes. They were committed for
re-examination.

IN C ENDI A R I ES.••• In confequence of three barns, on
the ,elate of Sir George Barrington, at Hatfield,
near Sevenoak', Kent, having been lately on fire,
and wbich was fuppoled to have been the at of an
incendiary, an officer was fent from Bow-ilreet, to
make inquiries, and two pert Ons were taken up on
fnfpicion ; but there not being futVient evidence to
affett them, they were difcharged. Further exertions
are making to difcuver the incendiary.
A dragoon feeing a man on Tuefday morning 'aft,
on the road between Singleton and Cocking, in Suf-
tea, by whole drefs and manner, he had rearm to
futpet his being a deferrer, approached him with a
view to enter into converfath n, when the man in-
Itantly produced a gun, and threatened to blow his
brains out, if he did not immediately decamp.
Sr Prevention is the better care:
" Su lays the proverb, and
The great rule of education is to give a proper
bias to the mind and a right government of the pal
!lons. How the end is generally anfwered by the
means it is not our bufinefs now to inquire ; but this
we ate lure of, that thole who cannot fripport the ex-
pence of Private Tntors or of Public Schools, have
at leail the means of turnilhing themfelves with excel-
lent helps in forming the manners, and what is more
effential CO, preferring the MORALS, and HEALTH of
their Offspring. Among the whole clefs of writings
of the defciiption alluded to,-there is not one that
approximates In near to excellency as the " Guide
to Health" by Ds. Sonosson, and which therefore we
mark as pre-eminently deferring the ;attention of

Lung is only to be feared hy him who Is confcions of inca-
pacity. The profeflio..al pretenfions of Air. tiara are limply
thefe—that he is a Member of the College of Surgeons. antl as
regularly e.lucated a. any Phylician or Surgeon in London; that
it has been his choice ti confine his pras`tice to Venereal Com:
plaints and Debility, and that in the treatment of 'hefe cornplaintx,
r the lalt fourteen years, o! which he ha. relided eleven yeari in
Arundel ftreet, hit pradice has be,:ti more eminently fuccefsfut
than that of any other Surgeon in the fame branch, lie regras
that illiterate men, under ricrirt .US NAMES have copied his ad-
vertifemente nearly word for word, hut the injury to the public
may be prevent, el by a careful inquiry hsr the certificates which
they pretend to pofiefs, and an accurate examination of the lift of
surgeons, which is annually publifhed at the College iu Lincoln's.
hut fields.

No difeafes are felt with greater poignancy by the (offerer than
thofe which arc occafionea by his own imprudence, and in no
cafes of confultation is liberality of education more dehrable in
the profeffor, than where the mutt unbautidcd confitltnce is placed
and the molt inviolable f,crir cy rape Real.
On terms plainly Rated on the firit interview, or in anfwer to
letters containing a Bank-note, Mr. Bree offers reitoration of
health in all Venereal Complaints, and in all cafes of Debility,
whether ariiirig from the habits of inconliderate youth, long reli.
dente in warm climates, or ,he prevalent gaieties or a faihionablc
life.—No. 29, Arundel Ricci, 9 rand, November 10,1807.

IN profening myfelf a regularly erlucatedMemher of
the College of Sur3cons, I think it incumbent on me to fignify
that my Diploma front the College of Surgeons in London, as well
Certifiates from the tiorpitals, and various proftifins under
whom I Itudied Phyfic, Surgery and Midwifery, have been for
years placed iii one of my parlours, open to the infpeCtion of any
perfon who happens to be there, or is defirous of fuch examination.
Thirteen years I have religned all other practice for the ttudy
and treatment of Venereal Complaints and Debility—but it was
not till I had experience as an Army Surgeon and general Praeti-
tioner that I thong:it myfelfj.4ftified in th, felcaion of this pecu-
liar branch. The concentrated force of the human Intellect when
directed to a particular point, mutt acquire fuperior'ty within the
circle of its owa action. and long continued foccefs is a decided
proof that my efforts have nut been lets beneficial to others than
advantarous to nsylelf.
The ditlrefs and the mifery which arifes front a certain deftruc.
tive habit fu pernicious to fell qolhoys, have been frequently pour-
frayed by the moralilts of the age ; but it is the ditty of every
Practitioner, when called upon, to relieve fuch (offerings by me-
dical affiltaitce, and it it the acquire cent of my exclufive expe-
rience in this line to offer, in every fuels cafe, a fate and certain
re-eltablifhment.—lii flight cafes of deficiency produced by free
living, refidence in warns edinates, or too much indulgence of
realuCtive paffions, and in ail recent venereal complaints, early
application infures an immediate cure. But in the molt com-
plicated cafes of debility. accompanied by fever, or diforders of
the ()item arifing from neglected infection, foie perseverance is
' indirpenfably repifite for the reanimation of eke conftitution, and
refturation to health and •igour.
In all ',area, in either fix, the molt nviolable fecreey is °Very.
td and the teams of remuneration are plainly Rated on the firft
interview.
