amount. Their method has been to drive to a shop
immediately after some person of consequence has
left it, for whom enquiry was made, with an affecta-
tion of knowledge of the parties, to give effect to their
proceedings; they travelled in an elegant chariot, ac-
companied by a footman, well adapted for his busi-
ness. Sometimes goods were handed into the carriage,
and at other times ordered home to Coram-street,
Gower-street, and Queen Anne-street, at which places
they had temporary lodgings. One person is said to
have suffered a loss of £i_ioo by these means. The
Police are on the look-out for the parties.

were not more than 3 or 10 horses exposed to sale, and we under-
stand that market will not again be attended by any of the dealers.
Mean:oz. Rest.--Early on Friday morning afire broke out in
the steam corn and paper mill on the premises of Mr. Harrison
baker, Battle Bank, Gateshead, near Newcastle, which proved
more calamitous in its consequences than any thing that has been
experienced there for a number of years. It was first discovered
between one and two o'clock, by two men at work in Mr. Har-
rison's bake-house, who were suddenly alarmed by the fire break-
ing in upon them from the drying roam of Mr. Harker's paper-
mill, where it is supposed to have originated from the heat of the
stoves. The bakers immediately gave the alarm, but in such a
profoand sleep were the families in most imminent danger, and
so rapidly did the devouring element spread itseff, that some of
them hail the most narrow escape with their lives. The fire bellwas
then rung, and the drums of the Gateshead Volunteer corps beat to
arms. Shortly aft er,the engines belonging to the different fire offices.
and two from the military depot on the town moor, arrived, but
before weer could be procured, the paper mill, the steam mill
(in which was a large quantity of grain and flour) and the dwel-
ling houses of Mr. iiarrison, and Mr. Anderson, grocer, were
totally destroyed. The Ere WJS got under about nine o'clock.

ARCHES COURT, FEBRUARY U.
AUGHTIE V. AUGHTIE.

This was a cause of nullity of marriage, brought
by Charlotte Aughtie, widow, late wife of William
Aaghtie. of theparish of St. Mary.le.Bow, Loudon,
by reason of affinity. It appeared by the evidence
produced, that Gabriel Aughtie, the former husband
of Charlotte Aughtie, and William Aughtie, (the
rrtnow proceeded against) were own
.brotbers._
aisO appeared by the former, marriage, there were,
ink* tin children, five of whom were still living, and
by the latter marriage one child.- These facts, together
''with other necessary facts, being.satisfactorily proved,
the Court observed, it had no difficulty whatever in
pronouncing this to have been an unlawful marriage,
and therefore pronounced so accordingly.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 24.
SELWYN V. BRIDOMAN AND REED.
This cause, which came on this day, was, after
some able arguments by the ATTORNEY GENERAL on
the part of the plaintiff, and Mr. Gwartow for the
defendant, agreed by the Counsel on both sides to be
referred.—ln the course of the argument Lord EL-
Lexsostoucist passed a high encomium on Mr. SEL•
WYNN Abridgment of the Law of Nisi Pritu, in which
the Counsel on both sides most cordially joined.
FEBRUARY 26.— VERE, ESQ. V. LORD CAWDOR.
This was an action by the plaintiff, a gentleman of
fortune in Devonshire, to recover a compensation, in
damages, for the loss of two favourite dogs belonging
to the plaintiff, which had been killed by the defen-
dant's servants, on his Lordship's grounds.
It appeared that as the plaintiff was travelling to
his country seat, in passing through Pembrokeshire,
near the seat of the defendant, the carriage received
an injury, *which obliged him to stop to have it re-
paired ; and; in the mgan time, his dogs having wan-
dered wl the:clefendant's grounds, two of them were
shot by his Servants, having special orders to that
effect from their master.
Lord Er.7.l.snoaouou said the Jury were not to
give exorbitant damages, according to the estimation
• the.plaintiff might put on his dogs ; but a fair and
liberal compensation for the loss of the dogs accord-
lag.to their value.—Damages X2OO.
EASTWOOD 9. NBWHAM•
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who
• is emploYed at the West India Docks, to search per-
solll passing out. The defendant has the superin-
teadarice of a stack of warehouses is the Dock. On
the 15th of August, 1808, the plaintiff was on duty,
and on defendant attempting to pass the grate, plain-
tiff proceeded to search him, as wits usual with those
who were strangers, by running his hands down the
outside of his cloaths ; the defendant refused to suffer
himself to be searched, and threatened to knock him
down, if he persisted ; the plaintiff did persist, and
the defendant carried his threat, into execution, by
knocking him down with a stick which he had in his
hand. Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages 20s.
FEBRUARY 27.— SULLIVAN o. HARRIS.
This was an action to recover £36. 25.. for 56,000
quills, sold by the plaintiff to the defendant, at 13s.
per thousand. The defence set up was, that the
quills were not according to contract, viz. with the
exception of 15,000 English, to have been all Irish.
It however appearing they were the same which were
seen by the defendant at the time of purchase, a ver-
dict was given for the plaintiff.
During Mr. PARKE'S address to the Jury on the
part of the plaintiff, an attorney of the Court ism-
ducted himself so indecorously, that his Lordship or-
dered him out of Court. He refused however to com-
p' , till his Lordship threatened to commit him, and
cailed for an officer, when he retired. •
THE PRINCE OF WALES ye Slit JOHN ST. AiillYNa BART.
AND OTHERS.
Mr. DALLAS moved, on behalf of the defendant,
for leave to demur alone to the information and bill, •
notwithstanding orders fur time 44 tb plead answer or ,
demur, not demurring done." He admitted, that by the
practice of the'Court, he was not entitled to ask it, but
was about to state reasons why it should be granted •
under the particular circumstances of this case, when
he was stopped by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, who ob-
served, th Ai the application was clearly contrary to
the rules of the Court ; but that he would save him
the trouble of proceeding farther, by declaring that it
was his Royal Highness's particular wish that no ob.
jection in points of form should be interposed to the
fair discussion of the real malts of the cause, or to
prevent the defendants shaping their defence in any
manner they might think most advantageous to them-
selves ; and therefore, that he had his Royal High-
ness's express commands to consent to the motion, and
requested that such commands might be *specially
inentioned in the order. •
" DALE Sh EMMETT.
Til'S was an action brought by one horsedealer
against another, to recover back £35, the sum paid
foe a horse, under a warranty of being sound. It ap-
peared from the evidence, that the hone was tried by
the plaintiff previous to his making the purchase.—
It was sent to the plaintiff's stable m Chiswell-street,
where it remained near a fortnight, and was daily
exercised by the plaintiff's me, in the ride. At the
end of a fortnight, it was let to travel in the service
of Mr. Goldsmid, who had it out 14 days, and per-
formed a journey of near 300 miles. The horse after-
wards remained another fortnight at the plaintiff's
stables, when, at the end of that time, it was disco-
vered by the plaintiff, that, instead of a sound horse,
he had bought a broken-backed one, and lie applied to
the defendant to take him back. This was refused ;
and the plaintiff brought his action to recover back
the price paid for the horse, and the amount-of his
keep from the time of the purchase. A number of
witnesses were examined ; and after a trial, which
occupied neatly the whole of the day, the Jury found
R. verdict for the defendant.
SHRINE, ESQ. V. XLMORIC
The plaintiff, a young gentleman of fortune, lately
of age ; the defendant a dealer in horses. This action
was brought to recover compensation for the loss the
plaintiff had sustained by reason that one oftwo horses
which he bought of the defendant was inferior to the
warranty under which he was. sold. The plaintiff
