'Cho Court continued its fittings this day in }fork-
enringer•lane, to difcharge the debtors confined in the
Zing's Bench. Mr. Serjeant Oassow, in the abfence
of Lord G AAAAA IT, prefided.
Baron De Rofcnheim claimed the benefit of the
A& but was nppelfed en the 7nund that his name
was incorreely dated in the notice publifhed in the
Loudon Gazette. It was inferted Rnfenheim, with
the ornifErm of the prepnfition De. The Court did
not confider this as a mate, ial defat ; the objeftiou
was thetefnre freer piled. The Baron was then
charged with having Atained credit, by falfely
Em-
peror that he was a Cminfellnr of fecte to the Em-
peror of Winsany, and that the late Emperor owed
hien 30,0001. which his prefent MajcAy woelci pay
him. The Baron maintained that his allegations
with refpeß to his fituation, rank, and probable means
of difcharging his contras, were perfectly true. In
proof of this, he produced a letter from the
(Ibis Imperial Majcriy, fluing, that the pudica he
was entitled to, as Counfcllor of State, amounting is
florins to near 1, per am'. would be withdraws,
...akfs he made tut appearance at %Nom* to receive

it himfelf. the letter further intimated, 'that the
Baron was not to expea payment of any .part of the
30,0c01. as his Impirial Majefty did not confider
himfelf bound to pay the debts of his anceftors—that
their obligations expietd with them, and he certainly
thould w.t difcharge them. This unlifual piece of
writtenevidencejultifsedthe Baron'scharafter,thoue
fomewbat at the expence of that of his Imperial
Mailer, and he was immediately liberated.
Mr. Coppiager, the perfnn whom the public will
recolleft as having had fo much litigation with the
Thellufons, applied to be brought up to be difeharg-
est under the late Aft. He had obtained from W.
K. Smith, the Maglftrate, the ulual warrant for that
purpole. Mr. Jones,the Marthal of the King's Bench,
refuted to let him appear, alledging that he was de-
tained for dcbts to the amount of 22,ca00l and, con-
fequeatly, did not fall within the operation of the ail.
He intimated that the Islagittrate who had Grad his
scat-mot had been itopofed upon, or had aged from
ignorance of his duty- Captain Cott.crr, one of the
Bench, cenfured in terms of warmth this language,
obferving, that it was highly improper and indecor-
ous for one Magiftrate to impute ignorance•to ano-
ther. The matter refted there, and Mr. Coppinger.
was not pertnitted to make his appearance.
Mr. Hilda t, an Enfign in the Slifka Militia, claim-
ed his difcharge, which was oppofed, on account of
his having defcribcd himfelf in his notice as a Gen-
tleman. It appeared that at the time of his erre*
he kept a flop in Pail Malt, for the fele of patent me-
dicines. The Court was of opinion his deferlptien
of himfelf Mould have been conformable to his aril
prefellimat and be was remanded.
• Mr. Cartwright, the celebrated performer ow the
Mufical Glares, prayed to be relieved sander the ad.
Not knowing what to call lattnfelf, be had omitted hie
dclieription altogether. 'lite Court remanded him.

traits of greatnefs hare marked the life of the late
Keeper of Newgate, yet all who knew him will regard
his memory, on account of the condo& which he al-
ways ruined in his official fitnation : his treatment of
the. ptifooen was uniformly marked with humanity,
and many of the (dons, and others, °llan of his be-
nevolence. lament his death with unfeigned forrow.
