Cross.examined by Mr. Gootn.—Cannot tell how
long since she mote txaminations against Lady An-
nesley ; believes it is about three months. Mr. Jef-
fereys and his attorney called upon witness. She was
influenced solely by a love of justice ; cannot account
for the motives of Mr. Jefereys. Heard he was un-
der a prosecution at the suit of Lady Anneslev, in the
Court of King's Bench.
[Heft the witness underwent a severe and tedious
cross examination, the purport of which was talhew,
that she was influenced by Mr. Jeffereys, against
whom Lady Annesley had commenced a prosecution
upon a charge that he had accused his own mother,
Mrs. Grove, and La4y Annesley, of having procured
the Murder of Mgreagh, the husband of witness.J—
Witness acknowledged, after much difficulty, that she
disliked Lady A. acid suspected that Lady A. had
injured her.
• Next witr.ess called to prove the marriage of the
'prisoner with Lord Annesley, was Marcus Annesley,
who did not aepe.tr.
Mr. JrFFE:MIS the: addressed the Court, and said,
that Mr. Annesley could not be found ; whereupon
the Rrisoner lose, and addressed the Court, that if
Mr. Annesley was called to prove her marriage with
Lord Annesley, she was ready to admit that fact.—
The Court said, that as she bad pleaded Not Guilty
to the indictment, no AilllisSiOTl from her could be
now received.
Judge DALY then proceeded to charge the Jury,
that the first marriage had been proved ; but that of
the illegal marriage no proof had been given ; and
directed the Jury to acqpit the prisoner—who was ac-:-
quitted accordingly. •
Oc-rosea 31.—An alarming fire broke out yester-
day morning, about six o'clock, in the stei-e-room of
the distillery and concerns of Mr. James Morris, at
the second lock of the Crrand Canal,..-which would
certainly bave consumed the entire building,. stock,
&c. was it not for the prompt and immediate anew,
dance of the several agents of the Fire Insurance
Companies, with their engines and fire-men. The
fire is supposed to have proceeded from negligence to
the candles, which were used for the Revenue Officets
in their nocturnal visits--notwithstanding the greik .
supply of water afforded by the Canal, and the. won:
derful execution of the Er..: engines, in preventing the
fire extending to-the other pbrts of the concern, we are •
sorry to state that much damage has been sustained.
The following communication has been received.
from a late American paper On Thursday the
sthltily, 1810, Dr. James Niblock, a- native of Ix*.
land, but for six or seven years last past an inhabi-
tant of Brunswick county, Virginia, was shot. and in-
stantly expired. The next day an inquest was held
over the body ; the Jury found that be came to his
death by two ballets and a buck shot being fired into .
the left side or breast, from a gun or pistol, by
some person to them unknown : one of the balls'
split his nipple; from the posture in which he was
found, it appeared he instantly fell dead, the moment he
received the shot. He had obtained great celebrity
and practice as a physician—has a father now living
in Ireland, but no relation in Brunswick that is known
of. A few days after. a Mr. Benjamin Edmiiiids was
taken up upon suspicion of having committed the
murder, but on his examination betore three Justices
of the Peace for the county, there was no evidence
that would authorize a commitment, and he was dis-
charged."
Tueiday last. a dreadful flash of lightning burst
into the house of Thomas Wallis, between Tralw and
Dingle, which killed a woman on the spot, and burned
two children, one aged four, and the other ttvo years,
in a very severe manner. Wallis had the side of his
face and one of his legs dreadfully burned.

Mr. Smith, a baker, of Chandos-street, having had
his premises robbed of a considerable quantity of
lead, obtained a warrant to search two rag shops in
Chandos and Vine-street ; and two officers belonging
to Bow-street Office, went to execute it. They could
not find any that Mr. Smith could identify, but they
found a quantity of lead, of various descriptions, in
each shop, under the counters, concealed and covered
over with rags, &c. in consequence of which the par-
ties were brought before the Sitting Magistrate, and
convicted in the penalty of 40s. under a particular
Act of Parliament, for having lead in their shops con-
cealed. The same act of Parliament also prohibits
shops of the above description from having iron, cop-
per, brass, and solder; concealed in their shops.
The workmen employed to repair the church of 4t.
Mary, Aldermanbury, discovered, a few days since,
the remains of the notorious Chancellor Jeffries, so
universally, detested for his cruelty and injustice. A
large stone was removed near the communion table,
and in a vault underneath. the men found a leaden
coffin, containing the body. The coffin did not ap-
pear to have suffered much decay. It was closed, and
a plate remained on it, inscribed with the name of
Chancellor Jeffries. His son and daughter are also
buried in the same vault. It appears, on enquiry, that
the body remained a considerable time in the Tower,
before it was interred in this church. At the period
of the Revolution in 1668, to avoiathepopular fury
excited by his infamous conduct, he disguised himself
in the h.ibit of a foreign sailor, with intention to
escape to Hamburgh ; but being dircorerod as he was
looking out of a lvindow in a house at Wapping,
where he had concealed himself, he was seized by the
mob, and almost killed. He was finally lodged in the
Tower by the populace, in order that he might be
brought to justice ; but he died soon after, in conse-
quence of the blows and bruites he had received. He
bad previously resided in Aldermanbury, and his body
was privately interred by his family. The discovery
of his coffin in the manner described drew many -
sons to the church ; and Jeffries, so long cone
cneser
to
infamy, is again the topic of conversation. It doss not
appear that the coffin was opened.' After public cu- .
riosity had been gratified, it was replaced in the Saabs
and the stone is oow fastened over it.
