OXFORD, MAT 22.

Tn consequence of the allusion made by Mr. GRAT-
TAN, in the debate of Friday last, to the late election
of the Chancellor, I.( ri Gitr.sviLtz, and the silence
of the University on the Catholic Petitions, a Convoca-
tion was this morning held, in which it was resolved,
without opposition, 46 that the Representatives in Par-
liament for this University be requested to oppose the
Motion made by Mr. GRATTAN, the debate on which
stands adjourned to Friday next; and to resist those
Petitions of the Roman Catholics of England and Ire-
land, which pray for ttle total repeal of every test, •
oath, declaration or provision, which has the effect
of subjecting the Petitioners to any penalty or dis.
ability whatsoever on account of their religiods prin-
ciples."

himself to be guided by the reason of others, he
would have known that the Jury must have found'
damages, when he had owned his offence by suffer-
ing judgment to go by default. They were preju-
diced by being told that they risked the crime of per-
jury by finding the very verdict which yet they
ought to have found. It was not to be said in law,
that because no actual and rateable damage could be
found, there was no damage done. If there were no
other,there was a damage to the right. If a man might
walk acrossthe open field of his neighbour, the damage
done might be less in value than any coin of the
realm. Yet if there was no damage to be assumed
in this case, he might continue passing along that
ground, till custom had grown into a right of tho-
roughfare. As the costs on the first inquisition had
not been mentioned when the matter was already be- '
fore the Court, they would not now be fixed upon the
defepdant, but he must be liable to those of the second
inquisition and the present application. The defen-
dant should not, however, be again subjected to the
inquiry before the Deputy Sheriff. The next should
be bad before a Judge of the Court.

COURT Of KING'S I3ENCI-I, MAY 24.

CRAROS OF CRUELTY. TILE KING V. BARROW.
The defendant was found guilty upon an indict-
ment, charging him with c•uetty to a little boy aged
shout seven years. By the evidence it appeared, that he
h id exercised a variety of unusual modes of annoying
t... child, such as.shutting him up in a a room alone,
attempting to singe him with fire, burning his hands
with hot irons, and firing pistols over his head to ter-
rify him. There were a variety of complaints made
by the neighbours, of these circumstances, and at
length the parish where the defendant lives, viz. the
parish of Hounslow, took up the prosecution.
It appeared that the child had been purchased by
the defendant fr:m a common beggar woman, and if
there were any thing whimsical in his method of un-
kindnesi, thete was also something extremely whim-
sical!,in his method of . kindness towards him, for he
actually adopted him as his own, and instead of Dicky
Stranger, which he first named him, he called him
after himself, Dicky Barrow, and publicly announced
his intention of bringing bim up either to surgery,
(his own profession) or to one of the learned profes-
sions. Bat those untoward events that too often verify
the proverb—

Many a slip
" 'Twat the cup and the lip,"
prevailed in the case of little Dicky, and marred all
his adopted father's intentims ; for-Mr. Barrow took
-it into his head that little Dicky, from the untracta-
bility of his mind, could not be qualified for any of
those pursuits, and hence the ill-treatment, and this
prosecution.
Oil behalf of the defendant, several affidavits were
put in, which certainly sheaved that Mr. Barrow was
a very humane man, and that he bore the reputation
of a kind and benevolent man.
This day he mas brought into Court to receive
jiidgment,liut his Counsel having proposed on behalf
of his client, to make a provision for the child, and
to Counsel for the proiecution assenting to it, judg-
ment Was deferred. The terms proposed were as
follow, viz. for the child's support till 13 years old,
(lie being now seveo) £2O -)'ear;a for an hpprentice
fee £9O ; acid to deposit now .-‘5O, . and allow the
same to remain in the Bank, and with its interest to
accumulate till Dicky -shall reach the age of 21 years,
then to receive. it.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 24.
GWENNIP v. VICOUNT DUNCANNON.

Mr. Serjeant Coexcia., tor the plaintiff, observed,
that this was an action brought for the recovery of
the sum of £lOO, for
.goods sold and delivered. The
plaintiff keeps a shop in Bond-street, for vending vari-
ous rare, antique, and curious articles ; and among
the rest old china, which isillighly esteemed by people
of quality. One day Lady Duncannon called at the
plaintiff's shop, and having looked at several elegant
articles of old china (meaning to surprize his Lord.
ship who was himself a conncasseur in those articles,
with a purchase of her own choice,) she desired they
might be packed up and sent home to her house.
They were not packed up that day, but next morn-
ing they were ; her Ladyship, however, called again
before they were sent hom.4 and said, that she did not
want the whole of the articles, as an old aunt of her's
had made her a present of a great deal of old china ;
but that she would take part of the articles she had
looked at, at the same proportion of price as had been
ilagreed on for the whole. This, however, the plain-
tiff could not consent to do ; and a deal of unpleasant
correspondence took -place in consequence. The
Learned Serjeant concluded by lamenting, that it had
not been settled before it came into Court.
Lady Mornington, audt to Lord Duncannon, was
called, and being sworn, the junior Counsel for the
plaintiff was proceeding to examine her Ladyship,
touching a conversation Which passed between her
and Lady Duncannon. To this Mr. Serjeant BEST,
for the Noble defendant, objected ; and it was over-
ruled by the Court.
Mr. Serjeant Commix proeeeded then to examine
Ia girl and young lad, servants to the plaintiff ; but
they could not prove any bargain between their mas-
ter and Lady Duncannon.
Mr. Serjeant BEST-•-• 46 My Lord, I know that the
whole of this case hangs on expected intimidation, by
subpcenaeiug the Noble Lady (Mornington), who
now sits on the Bench : and thereby expecting Lord
Duncannon would not suffer it to come into Court.—
It was only unfortunate, that Lady Duncannon went
to the shop of the plaintiff without witnesses."

ln A NsLAUGHTER.
Mr. CLE'ED Moved for a:Writ of. Habeas Corpus,
directed to the Gaoler of Chester, to bring up the
body of Elizabeth Hargrave, in order that.she should
be discharged out of custody upon bail, being charged
with the crime of manslaaghter in killing her maid
servant of the name of Mary A-an Jones.
The deceased was found dead near a well, and cir-
cumstances were detailed before a Coroner's Jury,
that induced them to find a verdict of Manslaughter.
The affidavits of this day went to negative the evi-
dence before the Coroner,. but they did not go far
enough for that purpose, and the motion was refused.
• FRAUD.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved Judgment against
J. Brown and E. W. Roberts. The defendants were
tried for a conspiracy in defrauding Handcock
and Peck, of divers property, and found Guilty.
Brawn requested to be indulged with the period of a
week, to enable him to prepare affidavits in mitiga-
tion of punishment, by which, he said, that the case
would be made to appear very different. The other
prisoner, Roberts, disclaimed any intercourse with
Brown, as to the tendency of the affidavits which he
should produce ; but also requested the Court would
allow him time to prepare affidavits, as lie had no op-
portunity of consulting any professional adviser,
having been just brought from Hertford gaol, where
he had been confined two years. About }:all past five o'clock, on Wednesday morn-
To this their Lordships assented, and, after a few

words from the Attorney General, they were ordered. Exton, near Stamford, was discovered to be on fire:
to be brought up again on Monday.

No. 79. Portrait of Walter Scott.—H. RAEBIUNN.•--•
A very correct whole-length likeness of this po-
pular poet, with a well painted landscape back ground,
characteristic of the kind of writing in which he ex-
cells—Scottish scenery, antique buildings, &c.
118. Rescue of the crew of the Venerable 114 guns.
N. POCOC.K.-Our Readers may remember that this
noble ship was lost in Torbay, about:six years ago ;1
the crew were. preserved by the indefatigable exertions!
of that of the Impetueux. This picture is painted in
a bold stile, and the event it celebrates is well descri-
bed, but the colonring is not very brilliant.
120. Girl ticking uls Shells on the Coast.—H. How,
ARD, R. A.—This simple subject is admirably con.
ceived and executed. The child is represented in the
act of listening to the murmuring noise which is
heard in some shells, with which it at once appears
astonished and delighted. The view of the sea coast,
&c. is painted in a bright airy style, and the figure of
the little philosopher is particularly interesting.
122. Ariemesia.—.T. Leash:•—The character of this
pattern of connubial affection (the widow of Mauso-
lus), who mingled the ashes of her deceased husband
with her daily drink, is well imagined ; but her ex-
cessive grief has somewhat impaired her beauty.
Mr. Lane appears to have studied with more atten-
tion than
,was, perhaps, absolutely necessary, the man-
ner of some of the old painters, which gives his pit-
ture an air of less originality than it might otherwise
have possessed.
58. Portrait of his Roan! Highness Me Prince of
IVales.—J. S. Conss, R. A.—There have been so
many correct likenesses of his Royal Highness, that
Mr. Copley, who is usually very successful himself in
tracing features, was not likely to fail in the present
case. There are also several other personages in the
picture, who are delienated with equal accuracy.—
The general subject is a Review. The several parts
are well disposed ;—the figures correctly drawn,
and well coloured, but not with that silvery brilliancy
which distinguished sonic of the former productions
of this artist.

152. A Thunder Storm.—Sir G..BEAUMOXT, H.
Here again we have to express our admiration of the
just conception, and refined taste, of this Gentleman
painter. He catches, not servilely, all the beauties
of the old masters, which he happily unites, without
appearing to copy from any one in p ►rticular, sub-
mitting, at all times, to the chastisement cf that great
mistress, Nature _ _

Lord Chief Justice MANSFIELD held, that the Noble
plaintiff ought not, from.his rank, to be placed in a
worse situation than a private individual. It could
not be contended that the articles in question were
necessaries ; and it had not been proved, on the part
of the plaintitT, that the Noble Viscount had given his
assent, or even knew of the purchase. Hi3Lordship,
therefore, ordered the plaintiff to be called, and he
was accordingly non-suited.

143. A IlfausoleurNia the East DANIEL,
R. A.—This is no doubt a faithful resomblance of
one of those massy huildings which so abound in the
East Indies ; the colouring of the picture is peculi-
arly that of all Mr. Daniel's productions. It may be
Asiatic, but it certainly is not European, Nature
a fine breadth of light and shade however gives a dig-
nity to the work ; all the parts of which are forcibly
executed.

141. Group, of Cattle.—P. REINAGLE) A.—The dis.
tinguished characteristics of this picture are truth of
outline and chastity of colouring. Every thing has
an exact resemblance of nature, and nothing betrays
tl e trickery of art. This Gentleman holds at present
an undisputed pre-eminence in that particular depart.
ment of his profession, to which he seems most at-
tached, and to which we could wish to sec more
aspire by the same laudable means.
