are probably good meciranical likeneffes of the
Gentlemen from whom they were painted ; but
the compofition of the pieure does no great credit
•ci the taste of the artist, neither is the colouring
rleifiog to the eye. It is of a nay brown hue 9
an th:re is no freedom in the pencilling. Mr. N.
punted better formerly.
to.—T ea the eftexiag of tile rafts #*
Mmes.—J. M. W. ntate, R. A.—The middle
ground and di fiance of thislandfcape are very finel y
painted ; but the introduCtion of tl a fun into the
middle of a piaure we confider as taking a licence
not walla ited by a judicious tinily °filature. It
has been attempted by Come of the ara artias in
Europe, but never with cotnpleat (week. Mr.
Turner's fore grounds in Moll of his landfcapes
are without a charataer, and his figures are too
much flighted.
Pnltctss.—This is not Rat-
ed in the Catalogue to he a portrait of Mr Cooke;
but it is an admirable likenefs of that popular ac-
tor. The fubjee is taken from that /mint of time
when the vindictive Ifratlite refers to his bond.—.
The malignant beer of the charalter it finely et-
preffed. and the whole attitude of the figure wall
cortefponds with rise &nation in which Shylock is
placed by the auth.r. The pieta' e exhibits a rich
but fober tone of colouringg throughout.

goa —Two beautiful cabinet pictures, executed
in the manner of one of the beg mailers of the
Flemifh School, ti .sting all the delicacy of minis.
tures with a bolds.efs of era, nut furpafed in the
works of many modern artias. They are the pro.
duaions of a young Frenchman, to whom we re-
commend if he means to continue among as, the
Rudy of Englifit nature. There pieures are placed
too near the floor to be examined with that atten-
tion they deferve.
535. Cupid Attie: at a Bede Rofer—B. Wear.
R. A.—Much has lately been Paid of an old pic-
ture retouched and fent to the Academy for Ex.
hibition. This Cupid, though perhaps never , be-
fore in the era& fituation he now occupies, has bass
familiar to us tome time ; but no matter—the rub.
jea is managed with great (kill, and furnitles an*.
Cher inflame of the fucceis with which the PreG.
dent imbodies a claffical idea. when he paints on a

555. Lady Mildebeyasd Chat—J. H R.
A.—A piaure that ftrongly reminds us of the ex.
evilest produaions of the late ever to be lamented
Prefideut. The attitude of the principal figure is
molt graceful, and that of the child aloft happily
playful we could will, however, that Mr. Hopp.

This was the cafe where a rule had been grantee
to Thew cattle why ats information thould nor In
filed againit the defendant, for inflating the pro.
fecutor. and pulling him by the note?
• Mr. Easaist and Mr. Tory lac (hewed cattle.
This originated in a mitlake on the part of the
defendant, and he was extremely fitrry for his
condua. The profecutor and he ha.l not pre
vioufly lived upon good teems, and the profeceitor
fubpwnaed the defendant to attend a trial, in a
manner which he conceived was meant to ;dolt
him ; anti, unfortunately, that idea was confirmed
by two other Gentlemen who were with him at the
time, who laid, they believed this was meant by
the profecutor to add to the many other intuits
which he had before received.
Lord ELIANSOROUCH laid, however much it
might be regretted, there was here fetch a delibe-
rate aft of infult (and perhaps it might be uferul
even to the defendant himfell, to prevent him from
getting into fuch an unfortunate fituation again), i
that the Court had no eleftion but to grant the
information. Rule abfolute.
TNII RING V. COFFIN AND-OTNIRS.
This was a rule for a criminal information
againft Jonathan Perry Coffin, and four others,
refiding at Tregony, in Cornwall.
Mr. GARROW and Mr. Serjeant I.INNS chewed .
cattle again!! the rule The profecutor is the Rev.;
blr."Gurney, who defcribed himfelf as the Chief ;
Magillrate of Ttegony, the Vicar of Cuba', and
the Reflor of St. James's. It appeared that be
was at the head of one political party in that town,
and the defendant Coffin, who is agent for Mr.
Barlow, at the head of another. The complaint
made asrainit the defendants was, that three of
them, Menirs, Baricot, and Dregeagle, had, by
the direftion of Mr. Coffin, ereaed on a vacant
piece of ground oppolite to Mr. Gurney's !Joule
an effigy, mea-ang to reprefent the profecutor,
and that there people had committed feseral efts
of violence, had broken Tome of Mr. Gurney's
windows, and had violently afFaulted the Peace
Officers.
Mr. Callan, Paid, the Court could not fuppofe
that he meant to defend any of theft *as of vio-
lence The application was chiefly direfted *pieta
Mr. Coffin, on the ground that the profecutor be-
lieved the effigy had-been crated by his direltion,
or at leaß with his approbation; the tree to which
it was affixed was his property, and it was carried
there by his horfe and fervant. The Learned
Coulee' read the affidavits of Mr. Coffin, arc. He
denied pofitively that it was done by his order or
direetion, but not that he did not !know any thing
of it; though fame of the other defendants (wore
they believed he knew nothing of it ; but though
fume aas of violence had been committed there
which could not be jellified, they might all be re-
dreffed by applying to the common tribunals of
the country, and particularly as this Rev. Gen-
leman himfelf bad let them the example. About
twelve years ago the profectitor's party had made
three effigies, reprefenting three Gentlemen in the
town, and after they had carried them through
the town, and flood before the bottles of thole
Gentlemen they were meant to reprefent, they
returned back to the hook of the profecutor, Mr.
Gurney, whole Lady appeared with a brandy-
bottle and a wine goafs in her hand, and in the
pretence of her bufband diflributed the contents of
it to the Mob, and the profecutor and his Lady ap-
peared extremely pleated with altar had been done.
Mr.ERSRivs and Mr. Gums fupported the rule.
They Rated that the prolecutoi was a Clergyman,
the Minitler of the parish, who ought to be re.
fpefted, and that if he had done any thing amifs
twelve years ago, he ought to have been puitiffied.
He now called upon the Court to proteft the
country againit riot and againti the reffitance of
the law.. The mob had dtiven this Gentleman
with (tones into his own Itotife ; that his life was
its imminent danger ; that they had violently al=
faulted the conflables and Peace Officers, and cos.
miffed a molt dangerous breach of the public peace.
Lord F.ii.straiotovc H I.ild,there were two quef:
lions which the Court had to confider ; i 11, The
probable guilt of the patties againit shone the
charge was made ; and, in the next place, whether
the profecutur was entitled to this extraordinary
ince, pofit ion of the Court ? As to the guilt of two
of the defendants, Menirs and Baricot, they had
not denied it by any affidavit. There was no evi-
dence againtl Tonsly ; and Dregeagle was there
at two o'clock in the morning, without being able
to give any realms for it : Mr. Coffin's affidavit
was not latislaflory ; and, therefore, they teemed
to be properly the objets of fiteli a ruk. But the
next arid molt material quellion was, whether the
profecutor was a fit perfon, at whole (tit the
Court would interfere in this extraordinary man-'
tier ? The perfon making this application was a
Magiarate and a Minter of Religion, and had
been fa for twit., years; and he appeared to have '
been the firft who let the example of that pralliee
which had produced the bitter finks now corn.'
plainea of by himfelf. And it was in conformity
with every rule that had guided the discretion of
the Court, that where the profecutor hinifelf had
procured the commitlion of that crime of which he
complained, that he thou's' he left for his remedy
to the ordinary tribunals of the country. His
Lotdthip thought, that by refuting the rule to a
man who had been himfelf the author of the injury
of which he complained, the Court would do more
towards ditersin aging praftices that were to
graceful to tints who were concerned in them, and
fo heedful to the peace of feiciety, than by granting
h; always remembering, that the common judi-
catories of the coma' y were open to him. There
Was nothing to be raid in favour of Mr. Coffin and
his afociates, Clime was unmitigated. But
this particular complainant was unworthy of the
interference of the Court. It appeared, though a
confiderable time ago, that this profecutor Rood
