RERAN V. PAKENHAIL

This was an action brought by the 11 tintiE, Hugh
Keran, against Edward Pakeaham, El. the 13:o
High Sheriff of the County of Donegal, for a Use
return on a writ of Capias ad Respondcridum, a the
plaintiff's suit, against .Nlr. Knox Montgomery, Lea.
tenant in the 81st Regiment, marked for :Oa ss. 2IL
which, after a patient hearing before Lord Noma!
and a respectable Jury, for two days, ended with a
verdict for the plaintiff, for the amot tt uf the wiit
and sixpence costs, which gave much satisiltction to
a crowded Court. It was through the neglect of Alr.
Edward Crawford, the Sub-Sheriff, that the writ r:s
not served on Mr. Montgomery ; but it was against
the High Sheriff of the County that the action was
brought, as the law held him responsible for the
neglect of the under Officer. Piaintiff was twenty.
one years in the set vice of the British army, a cA,
lour-Serjeant, and having, Pay-Serjeant of tie com-
pany, advanced money tor the Officer's account who
commanded the said company, and the suE6stence
and necessaries for the use of the men, the sum ma
at the font of the said writ, which occulted durinv
the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington in Spaia,
and, from the rapid movements of the at my tu which
the plaintiff's regiment belonged, he could rot get
payment of the same from the said Officer ; And arta
the return of the plaintiff's regiment from the spa.
nish, American, and Ft ench camp aigas,in which they
were particularly engaged, he obtained hi. discharge,
with the highest pension that a soldier of his rank was
entitled to ; after which, it appe.:ied he made re-
peated applications to the Officer, and at length to
the Commanding Officer of his Reginreat, wha
formed him that he could then give no military'-:e.
dress, but to seek his remedy by common law, Ira:.
much as the plaintiff was then discharged 11.0.:1 tie
army, but permitted him to take copies of the ie.
counts from the companY's books. From the novelty
of this case in a Court of Common Law, much difs.
culty arose in explaining the accounts,. and to satiq
the Court and Jury ; but in which, by the close at:e::.
tion of the plaintiff's Counsel till' hoot the „I,,ie
hearing of the cause, the plaintiff succeeded.

Thursday evening. between five and six o'clock, as
Miss &ant was proceeding along ItxcliXe-highitar,
to her-residence in Pell street, a villain snatched a
parcel from her containing -cloth for a pelisse,
and running up a narrow passage, followed by three
of his associates, got clear ff.
Yesterday morning the body of a co, pulent
was found at Duke's Shore, Limejtouse, which ap.
peared to have been a considerable time in the water.

court, Ratcliff-highway. On Sunday night, bei.,ea
ten and eleven o'clock, she came home in a st..:e of
intoxication, and all entreaties used to prevail on ha
to go to bed were fruitless; on the family retinne is
rest, she was left in her room on the ground•fh;cr by
herself, and nothing seen of her until yesterda
morning, about seven o'clock, when the war found

rats, as also the flesh of her right arm, and two of
her fingers were gnawed by the ianie vermin. ter.
