IMOLPI1:14 ARMORS' COURT:

PLOWMAN AND ()THINS V. ta.mtp,
The defendant cairic'up this ihiy to have hirettilt)
argued upon the discietionary power in the fifty-filth
section of the Act, which alllws the Court, notwith- I
standing any case of fraud shall have been proved, le
admit of a discharge under particular citcumstancers.
Mr. Asiottaws, Counsel for the plaintiff, however,
now objected, that since the 1a,.1 hearing he had been i
out of the Rules; and it was proved, that on Sunday
last he was seen near the Stags at Lambeth, close to
he Chapel, about eight o'clock in the evening, which
being out of the Rules, the Doctor cculd not take the'
oath as to his being in regular custody, and he WAS
remanded without further hearing.
Mr. Serjeant RuNNINuTora said that he had given
rills dime of the Statute a full consideration since
the I ~t hoa-itlg I but as this ground of objection was
deck v he should avoid giving an extra judicial
opinion

COOPER V. LACHENT
The defendant was opposed by Mr. PRINCII SMITH,
as being an alien. He had come to the Bell and
Crown, and remained there for two months at great
expense, having a snparate room and extravagant din-
ners in the French stile, till the landlord intreated him
to. go away. He•still pretended that he expected te.
mittances, and wrote a letter to Mr. De Taster, his
tather's agent. which he pretended was an order for
the payment of the money, but it appeared to be only
a request to pay when funds arrived.
Upon being examined, it appeared that he had been
a prisoner of war in England ten years, and had lived
on parole at Crediton in Deironshire, and Welchponl
in Wales; but he said he had no debts owing, except
to Mr. Cooper and to a tailor. He had been a pur-
sv in the French navy; His father was an Esquire,
or Gentilkosnmse, at L'Orient. He had some claim on

the French Government.
Mr. Serjeant RUNNINGTON, after asking what Go-
vernment the Counsel meant by the " French Go-
vernment," said it was probable the defendant had '
some expectations, and as it was difficult to say what
other terms could be imposed on him, he should re-
quire a joint security in the recognizance to pay out
of his future effects. In this case there did not art-
per any blame attached to Mr. Cooper, but other-
wise: it a stranger could not pay his bill at au inn,
the sooner he was turned out the batter.

CASA OF A BAKIIISTSK.

Mr. WAITSIMAN addressed the Court against the
discharge of a gentleman lately called Cie Bar.—
He stated, that hiS object was to ask this gentleman,
what were the items of his receipts and disbursements
during the time of his incurring the considerable
debts which were on the face of his schedule—wher,
in tact, had become of his means or effects, during
this chute ?
\ If. PRINCE SNIfTlf objected to so very indefinite a
question as that which had I•trii put.
Toe C% scar called Mr. Waitliman's attention to the
provi,iohs of the Act, and suggested to hint th, rro.
priety of directing his questions to such points as his
own mind would ct.nceive were watranted in an in-
quiry like the present.
Mr. WAITIIMAN rejoined, that it WOUld he listless
f(sr him to make any opposition, unle4s hr %vele per.
mitred to require atl answer to his question. lie saia
he had no wish to harass the gentlemen then beton;
the Court, and he would be the last man in society to
pursue an unfortunate debtor; but he otved duty t..
the public aA4I tit himself, to ',quire etuo the tr.itt.r4
,and cit .racter of the pi ..rerty ut Alt claim-

dreds of pounas, and who c,.iitd spurt better clothes
On their back. than he could atf.rd to wear. It was
therefore time to inquire into such matters.
After a few 'LW t v•ti..tis from Mr. P. SMITH .and
the Com i,.the GeirtiLr.L.n claiming his discharge so-
licited permission to address the Court. He stated,,
that his Lanily 11.4 had several shop-dealings with
Mr. Waithman, sometimes paying cash, and at others
t..ki g credit. •The balance of his account was now
but sk.:s. On a reference to his schedule, the greater
part of his debts would befound to have arisen from
bill transactions, for which he was liable, although
he never received any tonsideratim for their amount.
The general tenor of his other debts would appear to
I%e the incidental expenses of subsistence, which uu-
I foreseen circumstances disabled him having the means
to repay.
Mr. %Vanuatu; disavowed any wish to injure the
gentleman : Le only wanted to know what were his
means during a series of ;ears ? He also disavowed
any intention of imputing to this gentleman any fiaud
or misrepresentation in the mode of his obtaining cre-
dit at his house. He stated that the present debt was
due ire yews, and that he never received more than
£5 of its amount.
As there was no fraud imputable, the Court dis-
missed the objection.
There were twenty-six cases on this day's list, nearly
half of which were opposed.
• trashy
The discharge of Henry Hart was opposed by Mr.
Stalmon the part of Mr. Mallingham, a jeweller,
who had entrusted the prisoner with six seals, worth
417. Ws, on the `2lst of March leit. It appeared
that this person had an acquaintance with some thea-
trical gentlemen of eminence, to whom he used some.
times to dispose of jewellery, for which he received a'
conimission from the manufacturer. At the period
in questiort, he received the seals to shew, as lie said,
to Mr. Kean : they were either to be retuined or paid
for on the following morning ; instead of which, it
seemed, they were deposited with a pawnbroker, and
the jeweller received neither goods nor value.
A similar charge was made against the prisoner by
Mr. Jacobs, a silversmith, who had entrusted him
with a chain and seal worth £4. 13s. which be also
converted to his own, private use.
•
The Cower oidered him t' be remanded for ob-
taining goods under false pretences.

Yesterday evening, Mr. Sommosts, jun. gold and
silver refiner, in NIC.IFA-COUrt, While transacting
bUSiness in the vestry-room of St. Mary-le-Bonne
parish, tell down in a tit of apoplexy, and expired.

There are numberless other curiosities in the pos-
session of Mr. PALMER, particularly a very complete
suit of armour belonging to the 10th Curasskers.

We have great reason to believe that the surrender I
or capture of llonaraterm was effected by means ut
FOUCLIE. it is certain that when the tornier left•
Paris he was folFiwed by General BECKER and his
Aids4de-Camp. Ti4is atiendance of the General no
having been desired, liosaraum remarked it, and,
when therarrived at Rochelot t, told him that he did
so. ISKCICER told him that he had orders to toliow
him wherever he went, and would ouey them. :1114.4
only authority in France that could give him such
orders was the Provisional Government, of which
Foments was the leading Member.
The following anecdote slims how fully BONA-
me had adapted himself to the condition of being
a mete agent of Jacobins :On his arrival iii Pat is,
he sent tor his Council. Every luau was with him in
a few minutes. He had gone into ayarni bath. and
,he car:limit of it iii his di el;hing-gown At first, lie
displayed some passion, actually thrusting one or
two of the Ministers aside, calling them v:llains and
telling them to be gone. To the others he conducted
himself like a bruther.oflicer more than a Monarch.
They knew, he said, the fate of the army.; he had
on;y to tell them, that without 300,000 men and three .
hundred millions of money, it was itnpossibh for him•
to go on. Upon their refusing these, he told them,
that he and they could no longer be serviceable to '
each other ; he would leave France in their hands.—
Immediately upon this followed his abdication.
The Ball in a China-rhop !—Monday last a very large
hull walked deliberately front a drove into a china
and glass-shop in the hlinories, to the evident conster.
nation and alarm of the shopmen, who immediately
fled : the ouch-bred animal, however, after inspecting
the fragile decorations of two counters and a glass
case at the end of the shop, quietly took his depat tore,
with the single accident of thrusting his rump through
three panes of the glass-case, in turning round.
Tux HA/WEAL—The wheat harvest has generally
commenced inMsddlesex and the contiguous counties:
The crops ale remai kably heavy, the ears lung and
plump, acid exhibit the most unequivocal appearance
of yielding well. Accounts Irma all parts of the
emptily concur in representing the harvest as being
most abundant. In Kent and Sussex, considet able
progress has been made in the wheat harves!, and the
grain in- general is abundant and excellent in quaint.
Same mark applies to Herthadshire and Essex,
except that the .side bOrd, ring on flerts is rather
backward; but.the crops are not lt luxuriant. •
