IMIBEKY AND COItRUPTInN„;

'Tic was o bill filed to foreclose a mortgage, under
the following circumstances

The Corporation of Bedlerd, some year ago, bor-
rowed, on mortgage, the sum of Xl2OO, from Sir T.
Barnard, of which sum, on his death, there remained
due £9OO, which' Was paid off by Mr. Colquhoun,
who then represented the Corporation in Parliament,
and a receipt was given •on the• mortgage deed, set-
eng forth, that the rennet' had been so paid by Col-
quhoun, who afterwards having become embarrassed
his circumstances, ,borrowed a sum of money fiom
the Plaintiff, Monkhou'e, and left in his hands the
mortgage deed •as a security. The Corporation; in
their answer, set forth, that, the sum. of. £9OO had
been given to them' ltrcolquhoirn; atter., they-litof
elected him their it ecireaencative in Parliament.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY•eaded for tht Plaintiff; and
Mr. RICHA RBI for the Defendants.

His Honour' the MASTgit OfThe ItOLIS observed,
that he would lay out'of his consideration all argu-
retents as to the bribery ; but as' the, mortgage had
been made over to a third party, the Pliintift, as a
security for money advanced by hiM, he had no hesi-
tittion in saying, that he had a right to recover.

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, MAY lh
JACKSON J. 111 Dr.

Mr. Serjeant LENXS stated this to have been an 1
action of trespass, tried at the last Maidstone Assizes,
under the following circumstances. The defendant
wished to enlarge some buildings belonging to him,
for which purpose he asked leave of the plaintiff to
take down some small part of the roof and wall of one
of his out-houses, to which he consented. This having ,
passed, however, in the presence of no witness, the 1
defendant could not prove it ; he therefore, by advice,
suffered judgment to go by default. One Jones, a
surveyor at Maidstone, who examined the premises,
stated in evidence, that there had been a few of the
plaintiff's tiles removed, and a small hole made in
the wall of his out-house ; but the whole of the da.
rnages might be completely replaced for 20s.—Never-
theless the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, da-
mages R5O. For these reasons the Learned Serjeant
applied for a new trial.—Rule granted.

In this case, Which *as tried at the late Lancaster
Assizes, Mr. LITTLMALE moved for a rule to shew
cause why a ne* trial should not be granted, on the
ground, that ahe of the Jurors sworn was not the per-
son impannelled, but his son, who had. answered to
his father's name.

Lord Eunisottotrow thought the grounds stated
bb tili Catitkl lA* ho[ sufficiently strong to induce
diktufb tht ierclict. If, hofevey, upon
ernisiderathmi, tho Coait stioulA be of opihion that
there were suffitient gkonnds for granting the Rule,

•
Saturday Mr. MANIVFATT moved for a Rule to
sllew, cause wht the verdict in this case should not be
set aside, and a near trial granted. This he mover]
in consequence of a reservation allo*ed hilt' by the
Learned Judge who tried the case.
.The Action was built on an Act 61. the 19th Geo.
for protecting persons employed in the service of
the Customs, by which, in the event of any such per-
son being killed in the discharge
,of his duty, his ex-
ecutors or administrators are entitled to recover from
the, iiihabttants of the County, District, Parish, Lath,
or.itape, where the murder may have been commit-
ted, the sum of £lOO. The Jury found for the plain-
tiff; but the present motion was grounded, first, on
tlie difficulty of levying the fine, the Lath of St. Au-
gustine being switbin the jurisdiction of the Warden
Of the Cinque Ports ; and secondly, though the shot
aine from the beach at Deal, within the Lath, yet
the deceased having been wounded in his, boat be-
tWein high and low water mark, when he was actu,
ally afloat, and having thence been carried to his cut-
ter, below watermark, and there died, there was no
provision for that case, the circumstance having oc-
'cuffed partly in one county, and partly in another.
Lord Euntsottouon said the Lath was liable no-
_ikinatim, as the law stood. If there should any dill's.
culty arise as to the levy, the Court would dispose of
that point when it occurred. As to the other point,
the crime must be understood to have been commit-
ted *here the shot was actually fired.
Rule refused.

MR. 0' COArithr tt*li

The following is a -copy d the correspondence
which has taken place between Mr. Roger O'Conner
:ma Mr. Lyttleton; in consequence of the allusion of
the latter, in the House of Commons, to the connec-
tion of the termer with Sir-Francis Butelettt

MR. O'CONNER'S FIRST LILTTRR TO MR. LTTTLSTON.
SlR—From a wish that no personal concern of mine should be
blended with any public tratulaetion in Engiand, I have forborne,
till after the meeting of the people of 'Westminster, to address
you ; that over, I teel myself called on to notice certain expres-
sionslou are reported to have made use of rtspecting my brother
and me, which I cannot credit on any authority short of your
own.—Should you, contrary to nty hope and expectation, have
taken the licence I allude to, I have only to remalk, that, igno-
rant as you are of my country, my family, my brother, and my-
self, and of all the facts on whiebyou presumed to ground your
opiliiosk ypur conduct appears to me wanton and mischievous—
that had your assertions been true, they were illiberal-.4.nd that
Tont having uttered them, truly orfahely where you did, the act
was base in the extreme.—l am, Sir, &c. &c. &CONKER.
Maddox-street, Hanover-square, IS, 1810.

15, Henrietta-street, Cavendish-square, May sth, 1810.
Sta--Upon my arrival in town this day, a letter was put into
my hands, dated lath April, indorsed " O'Conner," and signed
with the same name, which, instead of being sent to my lodgings,
was left at the bar of Waller's Club, where it has remained tor
fifteen or sixteen days. _ _

This letter, of which I presume you to be the writer, com-
plains of certain expressions, which I am reported to have made
use of respecting your brother and yourself.
The manner in which those expressions are described is so loose
and Indefinite, that it is impossible to enter into explanation upon
the subject—and I must add, that under any circumstances the
tone of the letter would preclude such explanation.
I am, Sir, &c. &C. WM. FICN. LYTTLZTON.
Sia—l received your letter of the sth instant yesterday, and
that the present communication may not be loose or indefinite, I
have td observe, that you are reported in the Parliamentary De-
bates to have represented me as a person unfit for the society of
Sir Francis Burdett, or any Member of your Parliament.
_

The tone of my former letter was the consequence of the
above printed report, whether that tone is to be lowered, or raised,
must entirely depend upon yourself, as I feel Myself bound in
candour and honour not to take the report implicitly upon any
authority but your own.
My letter Was left at your Club-house, because I could not
learn there, or any where else, the place of your residence.
I am, Sir, &c. &c. O'CONNER.
Maddox-street, Hanover-square, May 7.
May 7, MO.
Sir—l have received your letter of this day's date, in wl,ich you
state, that I have been reported in the Parliamentary Debates to
have represented you as a person " unfit for the society of Sir
Francis Burdett, or any Member of Parliament."
Although I can never consent to consider myself responsible
for expressions alledged to have been used by me by the Reporters
of Parliamentary Debates, yet I feel no objection to say, that I
never made use of those expressions.
It is impossible for me to recollect, at this distance of time, the
exact words used by me in the Debate to which you allude; but
in order to convince you that I have no disposition to disavow
any sentiments which I may have expressed in Parliament,
shall not hesitate to state the substance of what I said, whenever
I am requested to do so in a moaner which can justly be consi-
I dered as unexceptionable.-1 am, Sir, ace.

W. If. LYTT LLTON

Sir—As you did not apply the expressions to me, the Report
of which in the Parliamentary Debates was offensive to me, and
under which impression anycorrespondence with you commenced,
I do not feel myself authorised to call upon you for any further
explanation —I am, Sir, &c. O'CON NEC
May Bth, 1810.

In the Morning Chronicle some days since was
given a copy of a letter addressed by the Field Offi-
cers of the Britsh Army, who were wounded At Ta.
lavera, to SUMMERS HIRGINS, Esq. the senior Officer
of the Medical Staff, left at that place in care of the
sick and wounded. A letter, of which the following
is a copy, has also been addressed to him by the
Captains and Subaltern Officers who suffered in the
action of Talavera, and who consider themselves in.
debted to his zeal, skill, and attention for their re-
covery :

Dear Sir—Accept our best solicitations on having obtained
your passport for England, and believe that the lively interest we
take in your welfare, renders your release highly gratifying to us.
May it be as agreeable for you to receive, as fur us to offer, our
written acknowledgement of that kind, firm, and indefatigable
conduct, which none of our countrymen, unfortunately lett in the
hospitals of Talavera, could fail to distinguish in you.
It was an appalling trust, Sir, that was placed in your hands un-
der circumstance:, particularly discouraging; the difficulties you
had to surmount were numerous, the labours you had to sustain
were great, and long continued,, and you were not only called
upon to make these exertions, but to sacrifice your liberty, and
perhaps, your future prospects in lite, at the shrine of humanity
and public duty.
We should be alike wanting in gratitude and justice if we were
not forward to bear testintohy to the constant, laborious, and skil-
ful manner, in which you went through this great trial, nor can
it be effaced from our recollection that after you were declared a
prisoner of war, and the greatest part of your duty had been most
honourably fulfilled, when the facility which offered to your
escape, and the long captivity which prisoners of war have latterly
endured, might have tempted a lighter man ; still a punctilious
sense of duty, and the best feelings of humanity, secured to your
suffering countrymen the inestimable benefits of your skill and
care.—We regret that circumstances since the battle of Talavera,
have made it impossible that you should receive a more general
and simultaneous acknowledgement of your exemplary conduct ;
under the more difficult and trying circumstances of which, how-
ever, we do not doubt, but that this letter will be considered a
respectable evidence, and we heartily wish it may prove useful
to you in your future progress through life. We have the honour
to be, dear Sir, your faithful friends and servants,

Saturday, a youth, named Blewitt, while running
across a raft of timber at Bankside, Siuthwa:k, fell
into the Thames, and was unfortunately drowned.

Friday evening an inquest was held at the King's
Arms, Kentish-town, on a child two years of age of
the name of Thorougood, who was rode over at the
end of Somers-town, which occasioned its death.—
The Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death, but
' adjudged the penalty of ES as a deodand against the
driver. It is singular that this unfortunate child died
lon the wedding day of its parents, and that four years
ago, they lost another child on their wedding day by
accidebt near the same spot.

Two Gentleman and a Lady, the latter of whom
was a resident at Hammersmith, were upset in a boat,
in Twickenham Reach, at dusk, on Tuesday evening.
The boat was staved by the ignorance of the young
man, in the management of the sail, and two of the
party, the Lady, and One of the Gentlemen, were
drowned.
One night last' week a seaman, belonging to the
Resolution hired armed cutter, refitting at Ramsgate,
fell over the pier in a state of intoxication when going
on board the vessel, and was drowned. A Coroner's
Jury sat on the following day—Verdict, Accidental
Death.

A sw?ndler was taken into custody at Boston last
week, upon whom were found a quantity of notes,
