generally prevails in people's minds respecting it, but
by supposing that they have taken their opinion from
the distorted and ridiculous picture that SHARSPEARE
has drawn in defianctof historic authority, and indeed
of common sense and self-consistency. As more than
than One of his commentators have ventured to say,
that a man may learn history correctly from his
plays, and as my belief is, that those same historic
plays have propagated much delusion, and particalar-

will, if my time permits, resume this subjrct, and ex-
pose the artifices he has made use of to blacken the
character of HENRY IV. and gloss over the mon-
strous crimes of RicitAun, conformable to his gene-
ral principle of non-resistance to authority, however
frequently abused.—l remain, &c.

• CURIOW4 CASE.
DOE ON THE DEM. OF WHITE V. DENFIELD.
This case was tried before Mr. Justice !loath, at
Cambridge. It appeared that io March, 1792, a
person of the name of White married Pizabetti
Nightingale, and on the 16th of April made his will
in favour of his niece, who sold the property in
question to the present Defendants. At the time
the Testator made his wilt, and even at the time of
his death, he, as *ell as his wife, were ignorant of
her being with child, which proved to he the fact,
and she was on the `2 0t h of October delivered of a
daughter, the present Plaintiff, who now brought
her ejectment, on the ground that the birth of a
child was held to set aside a will made in prejudice
