A few days sloes, a buy in the employ df. Mr.
Brown, a farmer, at -Dingey, in Essex,. took up
a blunderbuss, and not, knowing it was loaded, pre-
sented It at his fellow.servant, a young woman,
about nineteen, and touching the trigger, the piece
went oil, and the contents entered her head. She
is, however, considered in a fair way of recovery.
Several mad dogs have appeared recently at Read.
Ing and Thatcham, in Berkshire, where they have
bitten two coachmen and several children.
We understand that the " Contes a Ma Fi11.,"
lately published by Mons. BOUILLY, of the French

the Dowager Lady DE Curroan, and has b r.n
placed in the hands of her Royal Highness the Pria.

kr-jsarte liars in lei mailer of Picaaitsdit:.
This was an application oti the jUirt of Henry,
William Hail and Harriet, his wife, the said Harriet
being one of the dseithters ut the batikrupt,• to be
allowed to prove wider the commission in the fel.
lowing circtnstatieei.
The Petitioner, Hell, asurMisa Harriet Dicken-
son, being both under age, hid eloped to. Scotland,
and had there been Married, agreeably to the:forms
of the Scotch Church, without, or rather contrary
to, the consents and inclinations of the Cohen, on
both sides. On their return to England, the father
of the bride being impressed with an idea that a
marriage in Scotland was illegal, anal desirous that
no possible stigma should be all Owed to attach to
the young couple, insisted strongly on their being
'again married in England by proclamation of banns,
and with all the usual solemnities. The fattier of
the bridegroom, on the other hand, was of opinion
lhat a Scotch marriage was completely valid, and
therefore objected'to a repetition of the ceremony.
To induce him tti conient to this measuro, Mr.,
Dickenson wrote to the elder Mr. Hall, on the Bth
of December, 1807;hgreeing, on the marriage being
again celebrated, to grant bond for payment to his
daughter, and her husband, of 1051. daring! their
joint lives, ander tbipenalty of 10501,.. The mat.
stage ceremony was again, pbtforsne4; gati4te. ;toad
by Mt. DickbosOic I he'bankrupt "Jo 'favor. of his
daughter and her busban'j, watitnted i, and some
time after this, but stlasetptenti. 'the benietiptcy
of Mr. Dickenson, the father of the Petitioikle, H.
W. Hall, granted to his son an additional annuity
of 4901., on the narrative that mach annuity was
given In consideration of the bond granted by Mr.
Dickenson in favour of his daughter, (he wife of
the Petitioner. On this bond, it iraCttew.asked of
the Lord Chancellor, that the Petit rera might be
allowed to prove before the Consudaispers, on Mr.
Dickenson's separate estate.
Mr. HART, in support of this application, con-
tended that the bend now sought to be claimed on,
was taut voluntary or gratuitous, but was granted,
in two different respect', for a valueble consi-
' iteration. In the first place, it was granted in
I consideration of the re-celebration of the marriage
between Mr. Hall, tbe younger, and his daughter,
%bleb to his (Mr. Dickenson's) mind, was not
lawful or obligatory; but might, upon application,
to the proper Court, be dissolted—that the eiedi-
: ton of hit% Dickenson too could no's be injured it
the time he granted the bond in question; by such
an appropriation of part of his fortune i. An the
•contrary, that he might have been warrsdted In
making a much larger provision for his daughter,
was apparent from this circumstance, that at., this
moment his separate estate was much more than sof.
ficient to pay all his InditidUal debts. Hut, second.
Iy, if any thing could be required to support the
fact that this bond was not granted voliinterily,„ but
for a conaideratlen, it was to be gathered from this
circumstance, that the additional 'annuity granted
by Hall the Elder, to his. son, proceeded on the nar-
rative that it was so witted ie.c.osisideration -of Thht
Froortrond rittirtai; to judge of the mollies which
r•had dictated the conduct of the father of the youug
lady, they had only 'to look. towhat the father of
the young .Genitemani had done.
The first part of his case, the Learned Counsel
admitted, must de peed on the estimation in which
his Lordship held Scotch marriages.
The Loam CeVibetadlke said Ata entertained no
doubt that Scotch marriages were eery good.
Mr. HART argued that that Court wag not accus.
toured to hold them so. .
The LORD Chattnest.t.ii"said, if the settlement
had been made by the eider of the Court; that
would have deppotted it egainst the claims of any
creditors. Here it *al nor stated that any positive
Agreement had been made previodS to the elocution of
the bond in question. It.did not appear' that Mr.
Dickenson had granted the bond from any obligation
on him to do so. The inning, granted by the Pei-.
donee!' father to hirk was granted some time After
the date of the bond; so that, itwead Of the bond
being granted in consideration of the annuity, the
annuity seemed to hate been granted in cOnsideration
of the bond; a circumstance which was at once de-
structive of the Petitioner's claim dtts the Hankrlipt

Until the time at Which the Bank Stoppage_ took
place; until the Stith day of February, 17Ig, the.
Notes of the Bank Company were &intik* al.
good as real money, because, If the holder chose
it, he could, at any moment, demand and receive
real money in exchange for them. But, whit the.
Bask, in the manner that we have seen, refused
payment upon demand, the nature of the Notes
was wholly changed. They were no• longer.eqUall ,
in value to real motley; and nothing but a 'pec"
of compulsion would, of course, induce the'people ,
to receive them In payment of any debt thereiofilte
