money received by him on account ()Chia employer, Mr. Humphries,
a coal merchant, and committed.

A Gentleman applied to the LORD MAYOR for a summons to
compel the attendance of a Paddington coachman, whom he met,
while riding on horseback in Coleman-street, when the fellow struck
the horse with his whip, ',bleb, had the animal been a spirited one,
might have been attended with serious consequences.
His LORDSHIP asked the complainant if he tboaght the blow was
intended for himself. He answered in the negative, when his
Lordship said, it was such an assault as the law could not take cog-
nizance of.—This decision may have a bad tendency.

HAGUE, No ones IS.

The Committee for the relief of the distressed inhabi-
tants of Friesland, has addressed a long and melancholy
report to his Excellency the new Governor of the Pro-
vince, dated Leeuwarden, November 12. The report
describes the distress which has afflicted the province
in the short space of eighteen months, first, from the
inundation which laid 100,000 acres of land under
water, and occasioned a loss of above three millions of
florins, and now by the terrible disorder which has car-'
vied off so many victims. The report enumerates many
towns, and states the number r 1 deaths, and the present
situation of the places respectively: There seem to be
very few places where any abatement worthy of notice
has taken place.

Atkinson, a well known informer, requested to withdraw
an information he had Laid against a Paddington coachman, for
carrying an extra number of passengers; but it being intimated to
the Magistrates, that his wish arose from having received 30s. and

Saturday, a dirty, drabbish, little cyprian, named Saruk Newman,
was brought up in custody of Foster, charged with robbing a me-
lancholy-looking master of a ship, named Clarke, of 1701. in cask
and bank notes. Front Mr. Clarke's statement it appeared, that
on Monday week he met the prisoner in Ratcliffe Highway, and
accompanied her to bee residence in Dock-street. Another votary

them assailed him, and riled his pockets of a large sum of money,
which he had that morning received at a Banking-house in Lom-
bard-street.
In reply to some questions from Mr. Hansw:scr, the unfortunate
tar said, that he was convinced he had the money about him, as lit
had counted it just previous to falling in with the prisoner; and as
.to her identltf, he would swear to her among a cargo of her kind.
Foster, the officer, said, that so accurate was she prosecutor's der
cription of the culprit, that he knew her at once.
Mr. Ha ILDV•ict: observed, that it being of consequence to have

COLCHESTER, AUGUST 4.

Monday, about ten o'clock, a storm of lightning and thunder
passed ever Chelmsford. The lightning was vivid, and the thunder
was loud and awful. In Danbury Park, the electric Isdd struck a
large oak tree standing by the side of the great road ; the bark was
stripped of, and the tree shivered in a surprising manner; an elm
tree near was also much injured. Immediately after the tree re-
ceived the shock, the inhabitants of its vicinity were seen scrambling
for the fragments.—At Ingatestone, the electric matter was re-
markably forked, and the thunder resembled the rattling of artil-
lery. Mr. Coverdale, of Ingatestone Hall, appears to have bad
Very narrow escape. He was measuring timber with some
esirtepemen in a wood belonging to Lord Petre, and had just left a
tree under which they had been shekering, when it was obi-
Vered to atoms. Two trees were also much damaged at Iluttsbury.
At Malden, a young man, son of Mr. Demaid, of South House,
was stacking wheat with his father, a lash of lightning struck him,
andise called out, "Oh! my eyes." He worked fora few moments
atter this, and then fell upon his back, ea if dead ; his distressed
panel, with some of the labourers, lifted him up, under a full con-
viction of his being a corpse, and carried him home. After some
time be recovered, but in complete darkness. The poor lad remains
in this gloomy state, but his medical attendant flatten him with a
chance of the restoration of one eye.

EDINBURGH, AUGUST 3.

A party of Gentlemen, who are warm admirers of our late poet
Robert Ferguson, celebrated his anniversary by a dinner, in Ilep-
burn's Tavern, High street, on Monday. The glass and song went
round, many appropriate toasts were drank, and the social spirit was
kept up unabated till a late hour.
Monday night, betwixt ten and eleven o'clock, a fire broke out
in the attic story of that large tenement at the foot of the Whale
Brae, Newhaven, the greater part of which was occupied by Mr.
Macintyre, as the Britannia Inn. The flames spread rapidly to the
lower story, and by twelve o'clock the whole tenement was in one
complete blase, which had a most terrific effect reflected upon the
water in the Firth. The engines from Leith, &c. were soon on the
spot ; and au engine from Edinburgh, placed in the sea, soon had a
powerful effect. By these means, and the wind being from the
west, the lames were prevented from communicating to the adjoin-
ing houses. The fire was not, however, completely extinguished
till four o'clock next morning, when the whole tenement, the walls
'excepted, was consumed. By this calamity six poor families, who
occupied the upper part of the house, are rendered destitute.

L.EAKE'S GENUINE PILLS, justly famous for
.1.41 curing, , in all its stages, the VENEREAL DISEASE—
One small Pill is a dose, and the taking of one Box, in a recent
ease, will soon convince the patient of the certainty of his speedy
recovery. Nothing can be better connived, more safe, or more
convenient than this Remedy, for such as are obliged to go journies
or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of Diet; and
sixty years experience (in an extensive practice) has proved that it

GUILDHALL.

Mt. Robinson, of the firm of Wilson and G. allkmen, in blllk-
street, appeared on summons for refusing to complete a contract
with a weaver, named Coke, who was backed by the Committee
of journeymen.
The Coenudttee-men urged, that If a journeyman failed to com-
plete a confriOt with his master, he was sent to the tread-mill, and
that the lei[ bound the master also to fulfil his costracVookidr.
Robinson must have the 130 yards finished; and if there was any
fault he might claim for damage, and have the matter arbitrated.
Mr. Alderman Anszer, on the contrary, thought the master, ro-
unding one half the quantity badly made, might fairly say, " I do
not chew to.trust you with any more." The complaloant had been
impertinent isrthis manner; and, upon apologizing to hit master,
he would recommend him to suffer the 130 yards to be finished.
Mr. Robinson agreed-to do so, and the complainant was directed to
call upon him and apologize In the course of the day.

ROBBERY AT CASTLE HILL, THE SEAT OF THE

RIGHT HON. EARL FORTESCUE.

Though the crime of felony possesses an equal degree
of moral turpitude, under whatever circumstances it
may be committed, yet, when practised on the benevo-
lent and the good, it assumes a complexion of peculiar
depravity, and such is the character of the robbery corn:
/flitted on the truly noble and benevolent family at
Castle Hill, the patrons and benefactors of the neigh-
bourhood. Two plumbers from London, of the
:lames of .Robert Barker and John Battlet, and a
painter of this town, called Michael Skinner, who had
been employed in the alterations and improvements
making at the above Mansion, contrived to purloin,
from time to time, quantities of lead which had been
taken from off the roof; and conveyed it in small
portions in their tool bags to their lodgings, where
they had secreted it, till they had amassed a quan-
tity amounting to upwards of twenty-five cwt. when
they came to this town, and engaged a carrier to go by
night, with a cart and two horses, and brought it hither
at an early hour in the morning; and sold it to a respect.
able plumber in this town, to whom no blame is at-.
tached, he having given the full value for ir, and it being
brought to him in a stage cart, by which he had before
been in the habit of having old lead brought to his
warehouse. By a singular circumstance, this nefarious
transaction was brought to light. A chandler, whose
shop is in the yard where the cart, laden with this',
lead, stopped, observing this unusual circumstance of its
coming home at the unseasonable hour of three in the
morning, was induced' by curiosity to notice its con-
tents, and entertaining a suspicion that all was not right,
he enquired of the carrier from whence he brought it,
and on learning that it came from the neighbourhood
of Castle Hill, he communicated his suspicions to the
person who had become the purchaser, and who, with
the informant, instantly proceeded to Castle Hill, to
give information of the circumstance to his Lordship.—
The plumbers were immediately identified as being the
persons who sold the lead, and the constables were sent
for, who took them into custody. Clae of them attempted
to make his escape, and actually ran off for near a mile,
and would probably have effected his purpose, had he
not been, pursued by' a person on horseback; when
Overtaken, he presented an open razor, and with dread-
ful imprecations vowed .destruction to any one whu',
should attempt to secure him. He; however, was soon'
seized and handcuffed, and led trick to Castle Hill,
from whence the three offenders were on Friday com-
mitted to Exeter gaol, to take their trial.

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Auum 4.
Mr. HART applied at the sitting of"the Court for an
habeas corpus, directed to the Warden of the Fleet, for
bringing up a prisoner for debt,of the name of Smithson,
and to enable him to attend de die in diens,u Cuunsel,
for the purpose of laying before them papers, and giving
them other instructions necessary for the prosecution of
a suit, entitled " Smithson v. Sikes." It appeared that
the prisoner, who was plaintiff in the suit, claimed to be
entitled to property of the value of 130,0001. but was at
present wholly destitute of the means necessary to pto-
secute that claim. lie had sometime ago applied to and
procured the order of the Master of the Rolls for leave
to sue in forma pauperis, and a solicitor of the name f
Hunter had been assigned to him. This solicitor applied
to the plaintiff for 21. to enable him to take a copy of the
Master of the Rolls' order, and as he could not furnish
that sum, no further.proceedings had been taken in the
cause. Another part of the plaintiff's present applica-
tion was, that Mr. Hunter should be directed to give up
certain papers in his possession. Mr. Hart said he did
not know anything of the merits of the case; but be had
submitted the business to the Court, because he had bees
requested to do so by the plaintiff, whohad caused the
papers to be left at his chambers.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said f:e had no power
direct the Warden of the Fleet to briog up a pawner for
any such purpose. Ac, however, an attorney had been
appointed, he wished that Gentleman to attend him be.
fore he came into Court to morrow, lied he mould see
what could be done.

Mr. Hass did not know whether Mr. Hunter had received notice
of this application.
The_Loan CHANCELLOR said, that as the plaint ff was
not committed by the order of this Co*rt, he had nothing
to do with the matter. There was a bill now in progress'
which would effect an improvement in that part of the
jut isdiction of the Court which related to pi isoners con-
fined for contempt. He hoped in the next Session the
bill would be carried. It provided, that if a party was
decreed by the Court to sign a conveyance of the estate,
he could not bailie the justice of the country by saying,
" I will stop in the Fleet until I die, rather than give up •
possession of an estate to which I am not entitled;"
but that a person should be appointed, as in the case
of lunatic trustees, to execute a deed on the part of the
refractory prisoner, which should have the same effect as
if signed by his own hand. He knew that a great de.'
was occasionally said to the disparagement of the Court
upon the subject of prisoners for contempt; but if the
subject were to be fairly and fully looked into, it would
be found to be wholly misunderstood. No man in this
country could feel any pleasure in keeping another in
prison, at least he had never met with such a man. With
respect to the persons now it prison for disobeying the
orders of the Court, he had a right to say, that from•
his own knowledge, they stayed there because they
would stay.

LAW ASSOCIATION.

Thursday evening the Anniversary Meeting of the
Friends and Supporter.; of this Institution took place at
the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen• street, Lincoln's
Inn-fields; when, at about six o'clock, nearly 200 per-
sons sat down to dinner. JOSSPH Kaye, &q. in the
Chair, supported by a numerous body of respectable
Gentlemen, chiefly in the Law.
After the cloth was removed, the usual Anthem sung, and the
King and other toasts were di ank—
The Secretary rose to announce to the Meeting that
he had received a letter from Mr. Justice Gazelee. apor
logizing for his absence, but enclosing a donation of 20
guinea's, and expressing a deep interest for the Institu-
tion. (Applauss.)--The Secretary afterwards read the
Report, which stated that althciugh the capital fund had
been increased by the purchase of a farther sum of
12001. Three per Cent. Stock, amounting together to
13,6001. the amount of annual subscriptions had dimi-
nished : which was to be regretted, as applications for
permanent relief by the families of deceased mymbers
had occurred. Under the permission to grant 1001. per
annum for aiding the families of those attornies who
might have died in distress, assistance had been granted
in 13 instances, seven of which were new cases, and six
in which donations had previously been given. 'Fhe
Secretary stated several peculiar cases of distress where
the parties had been liberally relieved, and the company
seemed to feel the deepest interest.
Several speeches were delivered in support of the Institution,

THE VILLAGE COQUETTE'S EPITAPH.

The partner of partners, the Belle of a ball,
And caring for none, tho I smil'd upon all,
I flirted a season with all that I saw,
The Parson, the Merchant, the Limb of the Law;
The Squire, and the Captain, were fish to my net,
Which gain'd me the name of the Village Coquette !
Years gather d. and robb'd me of swain after swain ;
Time snaps, link by link, the most obdurate chain.
The Parson ader'd a rich widow at Kew ;
• The Merchant ran off with the niece of a Jew;
The Lawyer 60111, being rather in debt—
And the Squire stole away from the Village Coquette!
The Captain, false pirate! for life took in tow
A wharfinger's daughter at Stratford-ic-Bow.
When, to! pert and priggish, all congeetand shrugs,
Approach'd to adore me—a dealer in' drugs!
1 sbudder'd—l sicketed—l paid Nature's debt,
And died, sad and single, a Village Coquette!

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

A case of considerable importance to househnl.:ers was tried s.
terday. It arose out of an information lodged against a
Vaughan, in Porter.street, by the Commissioners of the
for the parish of St. Anne's, Soho. The information was I,ld
under the i7th section of Mr. M. A. Taylor's Act, and chargti
Nlr. Vaughan with refusing to take down a railing which runs be.
fore his house, and prevents the free circulation of air, and isother.
wise injurious, en as to constitute it, in the opinion of the Commis
sioners, a nuisance.
Mr. Allen, the Vestry Clerk, in support of the information,
stated the inconvenience of the railing, and prayed the Magistrate
to authorise its removal.

Mr. Anot.ruus (to the Magistrate)--It, by your decision, the
Commissioners be enabled to remove this railing, they may remove
every one in London.
Mr. ADOLPHUS—How long have you knows the railing to be be.
fore the house?

Air. Reynolds—Thirty years.
Mr. Ardas.sups—.Was there at any time a pavement where t4e
railing now is ?

Mr. Reynolds—No.
Mr. CONAlif—is there an area?
Mr. Vaughan—Yes.

Mr. Reynolds—That is what makes it an obstruction.
Mr. As ottunt—You think it would be a great convenience to
the passengers, but say nothing of the consequence to Mr Vaughn.
Mr. Reynolds--It would be a convenience to him—he could let
more light.
Mr. M'Owen said the railing was only erected seven years hekr.
Mr. ADOLPH us—Mr. Vaughan applied to the Commissioners to
know if they had any objection. They visited the street, and acced.el
to his request, to erect what they now designated a nusance.
Mr. M•Ov;en insisted that the alteration would be to the advan-
tage of Mr. Vaughan.

After some more discussion, Mr. Conarr said he and anotl,tr
Magistrate would visit the spot, that be might be the better zble
to decide. It was understood that the penalty and expences would
not be pressed.
