forgetting the danger of his fituation. The figures
are well drawn, and eorreftly coloured.

ture is much noticed by the vifitors to the Acade-
my, and Amateurs are loud in its praife : it is cer-
tainly a malierly prrkluClion, but the eff,Ets it pro
duces are not thofe of pure nature. The waves of
the lea are finely formed, but they are not water.
and the clouds are rocks. The pier, veffels, &c.
are admirable charafterillic, and faithfully colour-
ed, but the figures are not futficiently defined—in
a word, the whole piattre is a mafs of fcholaftic
affettation.—(lo be continued.)

LAW A( TA:.I. LIG ENCE.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, MAT 4.

Mr. GASS LY moved for a Writ of Habeas Cor-
pus, to bring up a perfon of the name of Harrifon,
who was a proprietor of one fourth of the brig
Mary, that was in the coal trade, and who had
been impreffed as a feaman by the Captain of the
Aurora frigate.
Mr. Juflice Laws sacs dared him to apply to
the Admiralty. The Admiralty mull have notice.
Mr. GASFLY laid, this man was a Mate, and
part owner of this vcCll. The alignment I f this
one-fourth to him was bona fide, and not colourable.
The money had been paid, and a proper indurfe-
ment made on the regificr.
Lord ELLINDOIOUGH defirel him to take a
Rule to Phew caufe.
Mr. Jullice LAWRENCI Paid, he fuppofed the
Admiralty doubted the boa fides of this man's
being a proprietor of this one-fourth from the date
of the indorfement.—Rule granted.
Till RING O. TERROL, ESlaz
This was an Appeal from the Court of Ring's
&lions at Pcrrtfrnouth, to the Court of Ring's
Bench. Colonel 'Ferrol isthe commanding Officer
of the Artillery at Portfmouth, and has premifes
there, in which he, his lady, and family reticle ;
and the only queflion for the decifion of the Court
was, whether any part of theft premifes wa-
tateable ?
This cafe wasargued with very great abilities, on
t'ie part of the parifh by Mr. EasKrov, Mr. Ser.
jeant Lame, and Mr. Gastr.v, and by Mr. WAR-
REN and Mr. RYDER, on behalf of Col. Term!.
On the part of the parifh it was admitted, that
the property of the Crown in the occupation of
the Crown, or in the occupation of the mere
fervants of the Crown, was not rateable. But
the ground on wh'an they argued the De-
fendant was liable to pay the rates in this
cafe, ws.., that this was a benericial oecu-
that it was not met ely a place in which he
did his bonnet's as Command'ng alicer of the
Artillery there, but that theft premifes afforded a
eomfortalsle and convenient ter:clout to himfelf
and family.
On the part of the Defendant it was very ably
contended, that this was the pi open y of the Crown,
and that C Teltol WAS rite mere let vant of the
crown. inafrouch as he was under the neceffity
of
goings herever the Crown chore to nrder him.—A

had to mai:•4 c,f Po:If:nom!'
was this:—:l l'icfs i: WAS fitted, on
laii_rma..o:l, had cirranived a vet y violent and
outraw,ci,n;:il:.,iult on ab. mall in the town. They
knorised h:r down, ti,c) kicked her ei:)eatly about
the brad, :Ltd other par:: or her body, and at lafi
broke her arm. Th:s care was laid bcior: a Ma.
:;illrate, reridcnt in t'..e town of Gcfpritt, and he
thwight it his bounden duty to grant a warrant
apprehend Cue perfous concerned to this outrage.

But it was neceffary to have the warrant fo granted
Bingham, one of the Magillrates of the,
county at latge, backed by the Mayor of Portf-1
mouth, becattle the perfons to be apprehended
ha f cfcaped into the jurildiaion of the Mayor of\
P,rthnoutli, being on board his Majdly's fhip
RiCell, in PortAnotith harbour. The Mayor was
el, hr. d to indorte the warrant, and refuted to do
1. He was furnish defired a fecond time, and
(till refuted to do his duty ; to confequence of
which, thefe people could not be arretted. It was
of the hall importance to the Public, that it fhould
be known, if any perfons in the fituation of a
',refs gang aced with violence and outrage, that
redrefs was near at hand, by an application to a
Magifirate ; he therefore moved for leave to file a
criminal information against this Pentleman, for
refuting to do his duty.
Lord ELLENBOROI:qI4 afleed whether, in obe-
dience to the 24th of Geo. 11. they had repre-
fented to the Mayor, that the perfon had efcaped
out of the jurifdiaion of the Nlagiltrate granting
the warrant, and had alfo fworn to the hand-
writing of Mr. Bingham, who had figned the
warrant ?
The Learned Counfel faid, all that evidence had
been offered, but the Mayor would not hear it.
Lord Ettstisortotscrt afked, if it was fworn
the perfons were within the juriidiaion of the
Mayor?
Mr. Gam ow raid it was; but if it had not
been fworn, it was the duty of the Mayor to in.
dorle the warrant, to give the party an opportunity
to fearch for thefe perfons.
Lord ELLENBOROVGH.—There mull be path
made of a reasonable belief they were within the
jurifdiaion of the Mayor. Take a Rule to thew
, caufc.

PLYMOUTH.
Mr. ERSIIIHE Rated, that in the Plymouth cafe.

the parties were 13 and 13, and each fide adhered
to its choice, and where there had been crufs man-
damus's; an Ate was tried, Lilt allizes for Devon,
and the right was found to be in the commonalty.
He, therclore, now prayed a peremptory manila•
