DEATH OF MR. TERRY, THE PERFORMER.

Tuesday afternoon this excellent actor and amiable
man breathed his last. The severe attack of paralysis with which
he was so awfully visited, about a fortnight ago, had so completely
debilitated his frame, that not the slightest hopes of kit recovery
were entertained by his• medical attendants. About half-past one
o'clock last Tuesday, his family were shocked on beholding him a
victim to the last and fatal attack : all that medical skill could
achieve was dine, but without effect—Nature was completely ex-
hausted—and the unfortunate Gentleman died almost without a
struggle. We are happy to add. that a few minutes before his dis-
solution. he became so far sensible as to recognise and take leave of
his family, wko are plunged in deep affliction by this melancholy.
but not unexpected event. We understand Mr. Tease was about
47 years of age; Mrs. Tinny (who is the daughter of the celebrated
artist. named ALIMINDIS Nainame) has long been distinguished
as one of the cleverest female landscape painters of the day.

About two o'clock this morning a fire was discovered
on the second floor of the house, No. 71, Wells street,
Oxford road. at the back of which there is a most ex-
tensive range of coach houses, sheds, and buildings,
composed entirely of wood, and which, from the furious
manner in which the fire spread around, seemed marked
for destruction. Fortunately the turncock was on the
spot, and the watchmen and neighbours, having a plen-
tiful supply of water. formed a line from the street, and
with the utmost exertion kept down, and eventually
overcame the flames, until the arrival of the different
engines. In justice it must be remarked, that owing
to the timely notice given by the watchman, is the
saving of the above property to be ascribed, as bad he
delayed a few minutes logger, the whOle would now
have presented a mass of ruin.

Ariel was immediately babied. and fell over her; both the jockey e

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, hie U.
CASE OP COVIIIITUZZ—MAMMOND ir. CALDICOT.
Mr. CAMPIIZLL showed cause against a rule obtained
by Mr. Catm to set aside the bail bond in this case.
The application was, made on the ground that the de-
fendant, Mrs. Caroline Caldicot, was a married woman.
It appeared by her affidavit that she carried on the
business of a confectioner in the parish of St. Helen, in
the city of Worcester, and subsequently as a milliner in
the town ni Nottingham. She lived separate from her
husband, and plaintiff knew her to be a married woman.
In answer to the above, Mr. CAMPBELL bad the
affidavit of the plaintiff, in which it was sworn that the
defendant carried on business as a single woman, and
gave bills in her own name. After contracting a debt
• with the plaintiff to the amount of 1504 in Worcester.
. she went to Nottingham and carried en business as
a milliner. The Learned Counsel submitted that the
Court under such circumstances could not allow her to
plead her coverture. •
Mr. CHITTY said the plaintiff knew she was living
separate from her husband.
Lord TENTSRDIII--They don't say she represented
herself to be a single woman. ahe states that the plain.
tiff knew she had paid her husband's debts, and that is,
not denied. According to the rule long established she
is not liable. •
Mr. Justice J..PA RICE WIN of the same opinion.—The
rule for setting aside the bail bond was made absolute.

tOrwlteeling a barrow in the street at the distance of
about a yard from the cope-stone of the fiag.way ; a
large bay horse was coining down the street with a man
on hirback, and betore the plaintiff could get out of
the pay be was knocked down and trampled upon;
witness ran to him, raised him, and found bins so des.,
perately wounded that he let him drop again; a Gen.
denten celled to the horsemas, to stop, bat the latter
merely looked behind .him. and rode away; witness
pursued him; saw him enter a yard with the horse, put
the animal in a stable. and then go out at a back gate

as yourself on that point—(lmmense laughter).
At what pace was the horse?—la a bit of a canter.

INSOLVENT DEMOBS'. COURT, Juno 24.
—......4
Charles Gregory. whose wife and child perished in
the the fire in the London toad, a short time since.
came before the Court this day to obtain his discharge,
and was opposed by Mr. BARRY. on behalf of Mr.
Shaw, ironmonger, in Blackfriars road. The Insolvent
had been formerly in extensive business as a cabinet-
maker and upholsterer, in Blackfriats.road, employing
from 40 to 50 men; but becoming embarrassed in his
affairs, he was made a bankrupt in Juli, 113213. at which
time he owed 2.7421. He had not obtained his certi-
ficate. nor had he since contracted any debts, so that'
,his schedule was comely composed of those debts
which he then owed, among which was his present pp-
posing creditor's debt for a balance of trecOunt4 Mr.l
40
Shaw was also one of his assignees under the County a-1
sine. Since his bankruptcy, be said he had worked r
Mr. Peck, of the London-road, as a journeyman, where
also his family resided until the 20th May. abets Mr.
Peck's house caught fie. and several individuals lost"
their lives, among whom were his (insolvent's) wife aistll
child; a subscription was set on foot in the King's
Bench Prison for his relief.
Mr. BARRY Questioned him as to many items and
dates in his balance sheet. but be declared that his mind
bad been so dreadfully agitated ever since the shocking
calamity that bad befallen his wife and child, that be
had been unable as yet to give a very minute account of
his affairs.
The insolvent appeared in a dreadful state of anguish
whenever be had occasion to allude to this melancholy
circumstance, and was greatly afflicted. His appear-
ance excited great commiseration in the Court.
The opposing creditor pressed for a more minute
account of the insolvents affairs ; but the Court direcuid
the iosolvent's schedule to be amended in Court, 'and
thee declared him entitled to the benefit of the Act, and
ordered him to be forthwith discharged.
