LAW INTILLICSNCE.

With respect to Mr. Charles Morgatit Thomas, I
))% leave to state, that I never saw him ; but on in-
Autry into his character, I am told by the Captains
with whom he has sailed, that on account of his im-
proper conduct, he has been obliged :to quit two
ships, and that he is now serving before the mast in
his Majesty's ship,Neptune.—l have, &c.

No. 3.—Extract of a Letter from Mr. BICKNELL, to the Hon.
W. W. PoLe, dated 12th July, 1809.
I am humbly of opinion, that Captain Lake's
conduct was illegal, however infamous that.of the
man might have been, and for which he might have
deserved punishment ; and that he is amenable to the
party injured, either in a criminal prosecution, or in
a civil action for damages, or to a Court Martial (if
er
their Lordships should think fit to ord one), for
having been guilty of the offences described in the
33d Article in the Act of the 22c1 George 111. chap.
33; and also for a breach of the.l3th Article of the
printed instructions, under the head 44 Captain."
No. 5.
Being directed to Ore what information I could
on the subject of a seaman's haVing been landed on
the island of Sombrero, from his Majesty's sloop Re-
, cruit,.previous to my having joined her as purser, I
have to state, that on entering a member of the gun.
room mess, I heard it frequently said by the then
Officers, that a man had been landed cn the island 11
of Sombrero, by order of Captain Lake to Lieute-
nant R. C. Mould, as a punishment for having stole
some spruce beer ; that at the time he was landed, as
well as at the time it was spoken of, it was considered
a very creel act, and contrary to the sentiments of all
those who spoke of it; or saw it done. I heard Mr. Edw.
Spencer, the then Master of the Recruit, say, the man
was landed on the evening of a day; and that on the
following morning the island was so near, that a boat
might have been conveniently sent to have the man
brought off ; and that either he or the Officer of the
morning watch (I do not recollect which) reported
to Captain Lake the situation of the island, with a
view to bring to his recollection the circumstances of
his having landed the man on the evening before, and
with a hope of inducing Captain Lake to send for
him again ; that on being disappointed in that hope,
they feared the man must fall a victim tofamine, or a
prey to the wild birds, which were very large and nume-
rous there, should he not previously be taken off by some
vessel passing the island. I have'likewise heard it said
among the different officers in conversation, that a
pair of shoes and a handkerchief had been given him
as a relief; at the time of his landing ; and that his
feet were wounded by the sharp rocks, before he
reached the top of the island, which was very rocky
and desolate—and that some time after, the Recruit
being ordered to return to the island to search for the
man, did so, but that the officer ordered on that duty
could find no person on the island, nor any thing to
induce a supposition that he had been killed, excepting
the remains of a pair of trowsers which they did not
know to he hi%
The circumstance of the man having been landed,
was considered very cruel by all the officers, and when
publicly spoken of was thought an act of oppression.

SIR, Pmnpee, Halifax Harbour, Nov.l, 1809.
I have received Mr. Barrow's letter of the 14th of
July, enclosing an extract of one from the late Pur-
ser of the Demerary, containing a charge against Cap-
tain the Hon. Warwick Lake, for having set a man
on shore upon an uninhabited island ; together with
Captain Lake's report, and Mr. Bicknell's opinion of
the affair ; and signifying to me the direction of the
Lords Commissioners of the Adrninity, to ',lake a
strict investigation into the case.
I was well aware of the irregularity of the proceed-,
ing, at the time it occurred, and when it was reported i
to me, I immediately sent Captain Lake back to the',
island, to take the man off, but he was already gone ;
and having heard, soon after, of the circumstance
being reported in an American paper, and of the
man's arrival there, which assured me of his safety,
I consented, after seriously., admonishing Captain
Lake, to let the business res;t but should their Lord-
ships still deem it proper to order him to be tried by a
Court Martial for his conduct. there are many persons
in the Recruit, who, no doubt, can prove the circum-
stance of the man's being sent on shore I though the
situation of the island of Sombrero is close to An-
guilla, and in the track where vessels are constantly
passing and repassing.—l have the honour to be, Sir,
your most obedient humble servant.

COURT. OF COMMON P,LEAS, MARCH E.
SMITH dtP. WILSON.
Mr. Serjeant DES?' for the Plaintiff, stated this to
be an action on a Policy of Insurance, on the ship
William, from London to Revel; and that this was
the fourth action on the same vessel, the three first of
which had• all been determined in favour of.the Plain-
tiff. The ship was proceeding to Russia, with the
proper convoy, when they received intelligence of an
embargo being laid on all English vessels in the-ports
of Russia. Iq conseqnence of this, the Commodore
of the convoy thought it prudent to put back to Co-
penhagen Roads, to receive the orders of the Senior
Officer there as to the future destination of the con-
voy ; by him they were ordered to return to Lon-
don, but their convoy being detained, they were
obliged to go to Gottenbt:rgh for another; there, in-
stead of going into port, they thought it•more prudent
to lie to for convoy, and during that period, it' heavy
gale and sea came nn, since which the William has

•
never been heard of.
A Captain, who sailed in that fleet, was called to
prove, that, in the opinion of political men there, it
was unsafe to put int,na Swedish port, although, in
amity with us at the time.
Mr. Serjeant SHEPPARD contended for the Defen-
dant, that the policy was void when the ship aban-
doned the prosecution of her voyage. He was going
on at considerable length, when
Sir J. MAN6FIELD stopped him by saying, 4g Brother
Sheppard, you are now going against the verdict of
three Juries, my decided opinion, and your own argu-
ments when you was formerly Counsel for this plain- i
tiff in this very cause."
SetießDL SHEPPARD.—" if your Lordship thinks
that a case is to be determined by the verdict of a
former Jury, I have done:"—Verdict for the plaintiff
—Damages 8250.
MICKLEJOHN v. HENRY.
This was an action to recover the value of a ship
and cargo," destroyed by the negligence of the defen-
dant, whose ship had run foul of the Janet and Cathe-
rine, belonging to the plaintiff, by which she was so
much injured as to sink, after being abandoned by the
crew. The accident occurred while the vessels were
returning under convoy from'the Baltic.—Verdict f.
plaintiff, damages £l2OO.

• Tuesday evening, the Kensington errand-cart, while
stopping at the corner of Newport-Street, was robbed
of a box, containing linen and wearing apparel, to the
amount of £5O.
Wednesday morning some thieves broke the front of 1
i the shutters of the shop of Mr. Lafounte, glassman,
in the Strand, and stole articles, value £l7 or £lB,
with which they escaped.
Bow-sr REEL —Wednesday J Down and D.For.ryth,
each aged 14, were chated with robbing the shop of
,Mr. Myers, in the Strand. J. Myers, Jun. stated, that
on Tuesday he observed Forsyth endeavouring to force
la pane of glass in the window, which was cracked.
and secured with putty, with his thumb, in which he
failed ; and on Wednesday both came again, when
one of them, with a wire hook, took out a hoop ear—
ring, when the shopman ran out, Sand secured them.
Lavender, the officer, found a pair of ear-rings in the
1 breeches pocket of Forsyth, and a single one between
. the outside and lining of the other's trowsees.—They
were fully committed.
H err ON .o A RDEN.—Yesterday Mantusah Booth, a 1
native of Shropshire, was committed for re--xamina-
tion, charged by Mr. Boswell, a salesman, with steal-
Ling from under his pillow, a book, containing notes,
value £202. M. Boswell, knowing his friends, hnd
given him half his bed, with intent to send him to the
country in the morning ; bnt the prisoner migrate-
' filly betrayed his trust. In the morning, he went to
1 Mr. Daunt, a butcher, in St. John's-street, who had
spent the preceding evening with them, to change one
of the notes, but who, knowing the book, communi-
cated the fact to Mr. Boswell, when the risoner was
lapi-r.thended. •
