On Sunday morning, hetiveeri two end thred
o'clock, ilik.•r started on his 13 h day'. journey,
and after walling four miles halted till near five t 6
take &e. and had a refreshing dose d
considerable part of the timer he porstied his ontler
fakir*: till ahnut eight (;ies breakfast hoot), corn-
-14 miles. After stopping a shoot period he
continued tiil ten. accomplishing 22 miles, and re-
tiled to the Cossiek tinting cllusen sersice. At irt•
he went elf again till n quart?r.afteri wo, having their
walked 30 miles, and went to dinner, s..lopplug again
(klieg Divine Service. and started about half-past
three. At a quarter after eve ho %vent to the Cos..

before situ ho pur,tred his jun:ney, and concluded itii
daily ta'k at (20 minutes after I:ine ; nit this day he
eomi.leted 50 miles and 1.11 r-rls. and (although Sea-
da y) retired from the ground ariridst the cheers of the
sp.ctators.
11Jlier, on Saturday mnrnitig, laboured owlet
c.ivere ii: ward pain, anti vomiting, which continuo'(
during the greater part of the forenoon; this, Inca-
ever, gradually- wore off by the titne he had aceom.
pli,hod his daily task. On Sunday Baker had a trifling/
return of vomiting, Re. a hich a holly left during the
morning ; and by the aid of medicine and nourishing
refreshment, he was so far recovered by the after-
noon, that he declared his health to he better than at
any time during his journey. Every obstacle seems now
removed against Bakers success, and of his accoma
plishing the task there is not the least reason to en.
tertain a doubt. Baker, as on last Sunday, sub..
stituted shoes for his half hoots ; but in the after.
noon he again appeared in his three pound and a
quarter boots, as they alone sit easiest to his feet.—
During last week his half boots were heel-pieced,
and it appears they will want it again in a few '12)94
as he treads very heavy on his heels. A great crowd
of visitors were on the ground, but not the least in.
terruption was offered hitn in the performance of kls
tusk.

LAW INTELLIGeNcE.

COURT OF CitioteßßY, Nov. 11.
lEMBDEN V. COVENTRY.
Sir SAmcsn. Rom cuY stated dun this was an O.
plication on the part of the Plaintiff, praying that
the Defendant might he elllcßred to pay into Court
the sum of 1,7991. 7s. 9d. received by him, ecthe
Accountant-General, for the set of the Plaintiff, in
a cause of Scott and Coventry, eel also the sum a
5.101. received by the Defeaaletst in a CRON' of MLitt.
anti Coventry ; and in default thereof, that an at-
tschment might be i:sued, and that the injunction
formerly obtained by the Plaintiff for restraining the
Defendant from receiving the accruing rents and
profits of a certain life estate might he revived.—
The Learned Counsel said, that by deed dated
March 22, Ifo6. the Defendant assigned certain
dividends to the Plaintiff as a set urity for monies
due to him; but a compromise was afterwards entered
into, by which the I/et...Mont agreed e..pay to the
Plaintifffite AVM of 2,8001. and costs, in satisfec.
tion of his debt. In consequence of this arrange.
ment the Plaintiff consented to an order to dissolve
the ittjuncion which he had obtained against the De-
fendant, upon the solemn pledge of the word and
honour of the latter, that he would pay over to the
Plaintiff the monies to which he was entitled in the
above mentioned causes. At the same time it *as
agreed, that the Plaintiff should deliver op the
deed of 1806 ; and these special circumstances being
stated to the Court on the hearing of this cause a
decree was made, that the Plaintiff .hould receive the
said ft% o sums of 17991.7:. 9d. anal 5101. The Do.
fendant, however, had since refused to pay over
those monies to the Plaintiff, alleging, not only that
the deed of 1806 had not been delivered up, het
that he had mid several sums to the Plaintiff anti 14s
Solicitor, amounting to 12001. It appeared, how-
ever, that the deed had formerly been placed in the
hands of Mr. Phillipson, the Defendant's Solicitor,
who afterwards absconded, but it was now forth.
coming; and it could not be proved, that the De.
fendant had justified the debt of the Plaintiff.
Mr. Hoer. said that the Defendant was nom a prie
goner in the Fleet, and had made it a matter of boast,
that just berme he received the dividends, he had
borrowed nil the money of the Plaintiff, and had
left him penny less.
Mr. listr, on the part of the Defendint, sub-
' mitted that this case was not iii a condition in which
his Lordship could take cegnitance of it.
The Loon Cuascer.t.oa said, that the suit was
not out of Court ; anti if the Court bad granted all
injunction to prevent a person from recciviu resit,
and prents, and there sta,.. motley in the Acctirnteant-
General's hands, which 1113 been ob!ainell by fraud,
it %null make hint In the motley hick, awl re.
tire the inj%cluti.m. The proses of the Court was
MA to be +natio the instrueneut of frr.ud, and it would
not permit young men of fashion to swindle their
ererlitots out of whit 'vt due to !item. lii; Lord-
ship looked upon the conduct of .the.l)efenrinit is a
great wrong done to this Court, and he most brie'
the money bark forthwith—on or before Friday first
at furthest, and the injunctkr. must be revived as
the rents and l•rotits. The Plaintiff must also have
hi; costs of this applieltion.
