their gallant adversaries the Members of the Rdinbergh Chess Oak',
who have now, in the match conducted by correspoodesie main-
tained the grid against the united talents of the Landon Qs:es-Club
far upwards of three years. Three games of this simpler match
have been decided, cads Club having gained a gator, and one
having bees drawn. There are two games now pending, of which
one is in its nature drawn, and the other is in an advanced' state.
widioet any material advantage having been gained by either party.
The next marital by either Club will decide the match; but
as games played with critical circumspection on both tides must
freqmently be drawn, the contest may still rival the Trojan war in
dentists, before it is brought to a conclusion. Some time ago the
Scotch players, who were the challengers, proposed to terminate
berstilities, whatever might be the lIPSUIt of the next game, but this
pacific overture was declined by the London Club.

was extremely favourable, and the whole scene extremely gay and
enlivening.

commotion Prevailed in his Majesty's Jail of Newgate,
in consequence of the escape of six capital convicts.
amongst whom were the two not irious characters
While and Roach. who had been convicted during the
last Sessions. About the hoot :shove stated, Mi. Lyitch
Cotton (son of Dr. Cotton, the Reverend Ordinary,
whose house is in Nesvgate-street, apclibe first routs!.
the corner irons the Old Bailey, the scar of wheel*

hack attic, was awoke by a noise• or` head on the,
roof ; he listened, and disiinctly heard footsteps, and
some person say, " this is the way, Charles,"— he then
heard them attempt to force the trap door. but could.
not, as• it was very securely boated within side. Ms.
Cotton, junior, at:. once suspected That some of, the
prisoners had contrived to escape from their Cells,
and' cautiously creeping from his bed, roused his
father, whom he informed of the circumstance. The.
Reverend Gentleman, with all possible haste, joined his
soar in endeavouring -to' cattle their capture. Young
Mr. Cottoe repaired immediately to Newgate, and rang
the alarm bell. which was instantly answered, and• he
toe information to the Governor, and the rest of the
Olficers, of the affair, of which they were previously in
knoreoce. The officers and turnkeys instantly aimed
themselves, and nen in all detections in purse t of them,
assisted by young Mr. Cotton, who espremed himself
quite sail d the prisoners had "not gained the street
horn the roofs of the houses, as only seven minutes bad
etipsed from the time he first heard the noise. He
elme stationed a party of watchmen in Warwick
ther
lane, and others at various rots, to interrupt their pro.
gress, should they pals. Mr. Cotton himself, took: his
station on Vie north side of Newgate-street, and kept a
sharp look out towards the roofs of the hotises between
shit of his father arid Warwick lane. Reload not been
long there, before he saw the door of an empty house, for-
merly occupied by Mr. Walton, a carpet manufacturer,
gently orsisied, an.l two young men dressed in frock
leats (White and Roach; conic out. He stood for a
moment inactive, and saw them turn towards CneAp-
vide, and the rest moment out came four more. and
the instant he saw them, he shouted out as loud as he
was able " stop thi.f, stop thief," and in an instant,
the whole of his ;laity came up, and joined in pur•
suit.of the convict., who ran-as tact as they were
able, the first two making for the east, the others to-
wards Holb• tn. The first two, although closely put sued
by the officers, succeeded in effecting their escape, but
the other fbitr, atter a m rat desperate eSist, were taken,
and sally lodged in th-ir old quarters. Officers were
dispatched in all directions after the others, and instant
infosmatio4 was sent to the Lord Mayor of the cir-
enmstaitce. His Lordship proceeded to Newgate, and
aish the•Gover no, examined the-prison, and the Means
shat bold been adopted by them to facilitate their ob-
joett,when it appeared that they had broken through the
thick wall of their cells, and thereby gained the yard,,
hod then scaled the north wall and descended to the roof
of Mr. Cotton's house, which is a height of about 10 feet;
they then crawled over the mi. of six houses to get at
ghat of Mr. Waltois's, out of which they made their es-
cape, but in what .way they enntriveu to descend from
she top to the bottom canto be, ascertained, as nemly
all the stairs bare been removed. The persons of the two
ilea that hese Red, are well known to all the police
offices, and we have not the least doubt but they will
amen be retaken. Too much credit cannot be given to
Mr. Lynch Cotton l r his promptitude in the business.
Ibe whole of the prisoners that escaped were convicted
as the May Session, and were all respited by his Ma.

following are the names and crimes of the convicts t•-:•

The Loeb Cnesent.ton gave judgment in 7thil
appeal, the Inestion in which arose upon the-1011 of a
Mr. Mottles e. He had bequeathed. hi, kopeity to
tru,tees in-er ust for ibis three illegitimate - children,. by
Martha Davis, who hal lived with hies •for' several
years, and also in trust for every other child a hich
should be born of the body of the said Martha D;vis
doting his lite, er withii due time after his decease.--
At the time ; f the snaking of the wiN the testator had
only three sons by this woman, and they Isere pani-
c Waste and specifically described by the will. He had
two other sons. Thomas and Jeremiah, barn -mike-
quently. It was clear that the omission of his own
name in the will as the fa-her of any children whom
Martha Davis might ham, had been intentirmally
made, and that its object wal to get over the difficulty
contained in the rule of law, that a disposition outset
be made in favour of an illegitimate child, to be born
at a finale period. On the face of the will, however,
there.was nothing which Mtended the benefit of the

cided that they were not entitled to take either under
the will or codicil.

This was it cese-le which five persons named Hicheess
Moire, Patkir,-Morgat, and Fryer, sha eoldets iethe
CGmparty, filed a bill ag:rinst Sr 'Wm.
Confrae and General Macleari; Dream-sot the Com.
pony, in order to compel the refunding of the sem of
15.0001. which was alleged to have been fr.- udulentle
divided among certain persons of the Company.
'Mr. HIILD, for the defrndienti; applied for leave
either to strike out certain parts of an answer which his
clients had put into a. bill filed by the plaintiffs, or to
take the whole of the, said answer off the file. The
grounds of his application were these ; —Tette of the
plaintiffs originally. filed a bid ag .in‘t the deendants
to compel them to retuni the sum of 15 0001. a hick had
bee

n fraudulently dtvided. To that bill the defendants
had put in an alswer, in which 'they admitted the ob.
taiionent and division of the sam of 15.0004 as charged
.in the hill, but denied that ;he plaintiff. bad any equity,
aert.f •r thews sers3nerthe plaintiffs purtha-ed Ibll
ritimitto wader which, they made their claim from dery
=mints of the ermparty, who bad received -tub

thirttotald a cnraplarn ; and the Flatentifs cons..
slansify• were is the same situation, hawing patches d
OW interest of these persons. The photo iffs fiaditig this
'lllection to be good, added to themsetati two other
plaintiffs, Motgan and F,yer, 'who were t•ersinal.shares
lets, and who had no notice of she leafed. ; Hams
thus made good tilers claim in equr• y, -they proceeJed
leith the suit; and endeavoured to avail thenrselv,s of
the'adinissitins which the defendants had made only to
the first three plaintiff,. Lesve was therefove• asked to
strike out some points of the answer, It to take it off the
file altogether. The • Learned Csautisel contended that
his clients had been entrapped into • astmis4ons •of
charges which.lhey .koew could nut be supported,
and which lame how rtSo:ss *hum they ifiew
had no remedy in equity, even it.thitoebs les they
made wale true. le was wth knowiedige of the vista
of equity of the first three plaintiffs, that his st ruts had
made admis,ions, and it was on t s.f this saga
equity that they had ,aside. sectuadasission.; If they
had been *wale that mite plaintiffs weir to be added,
that new piarnriffr, possessing a very d ffe Ent interest .
from the original pl.in iff., were to be intr Ainced. they
could have qua;ified their answers very mates Wei, and
could have added sii:h explanations as wi uIJ nave
altered the appearance of those answers altogether.
His Honour was very well aware that many things
were frequently admitted in an answer, not because
they were true, but because they wire not material, and
c rnstquently, it would not be worth while to entet into
.engthy rapt mations respecting, them. This was the
case in the present answer g and he thereto • slaved
that his Honour would allow that. answer to be with•
drawn, in order that another, more suitable to the cases
as it had been altered, byte introduction of n-,a
tiffs. might be put in.
Mr. IlenAce Twigs followedon the'srame side:
Mr. Houma opp red the application. His Learned
Friends had forgotten one very maceri I ...int, in statiegt
the circumstances of the case. He sat insirocted to
state to his Honour, that alter these new plaintiffs had
been added, further time, a month, had been ontained
by the defendants, for the purpose of putting in en ad-
ditional answer. The very tact rf t: e Jefeuslairti hays.
mg applied for, and ob abased. further tome 1, r such a
purpose, was a clear admisssion that they intended the
first answer to remain as an ans. et to the five plaintiffs.
Mr. SUGDEN also °nosed the applicatirti. The
Learned Counsel put in a letter from tl e detendent,
solicitor to the solid or of the plait offs, in shish it was
stated, that the answers were then before Counsel, and
would be put in as soon as possiti:e. He thPught that
this letter, which bore the date of the 7th of July, was
perfectly conclusive upon the point, that the d-febskints
bad admitted their first 'answer to terrain as an answer
I s the cause as it then 14.04.
Mr. HEALD
••
feThe Vics-Culkocts.t.na was of opinion that the de-
ndants must be bound by the admission of their soli-
citor, that the answer war to remain as against all the
defendants, and Ly the proceedings .which•had.beest
.
jaken subsequent to that admission. In his judgment
,the defendants would not be dealt at all hardly by if it
is;, refaced them to withdraw their answer. It these
were any circumstances of an explanatory or eetaniew.
