WARRANTS or ATTORNRC—A very important Bill
is now before the Legislature, for preventing the injus- i
tics which is frequently done to creditors by secret war-1
rants of attorney, whereby persons in a state of insol-
vency are enabled to keep up theappearance of being
in
good circumstances, and the persons holding such war-
nuts of attorney have the power of taking the property
of such insolvents in execution at any time, to the ex-
clusion of the rest of their creditors. To remedy this, it
is proposed to be enacted, that all warrants of attorney,
or a true copy, with attestation, the defeasaoce, indorse-
ments, &,c. shall, within days after completion, be
filed, together with an affidavit of execution, in the Court
in which judgment is intended to be entered up; and
any seizure wade under a warrant not so filed, to be
deemed fraudulent, and the assignees of bankrupts may
recover the amount of the proceeds of such seizure.
And as the object of this Bill may be defeated 'ay any
person giving a cognorit actionem. Instead of a warrant
of atioreey to stoniest judgmeat, it is further provided
that that instrument shall be tiled in like manner: if
given on any condition, the saute also to be tiled. The,
remaining clauses enact, that the officers of each Court,
keep a book, containing partienlars of each warranter
attorney and cognovia—allowing • fee for filing--copies
to be given from the offices—satisfaction may be entered
on warrants of attorney and cognovits.
On Monday last, as two labourers were trenching
in a field, near Fryston Beck, in the parish of Pont.,
freer, f.sr the purpon of planting liquorice, they aine
covered, within tee inches of the surface, a large stone
coffin, which cost/tined the skeleton of a human being;
the Anil was placed between the legs, and a tar.,
stone occupied toe situation of the head. It is gene.'
rally believed, and with great probability, to be the
remains of Thomas, (af:erwards canonized as a Saint)
Earl of Lane tater, Steward of Enzlanr!, who was be-
headed in tit; reign of Edward II on Monday, March
22, 1322, (according to Holinshed) upon a hill which
now bears the Dame of St. Thomas's Hill, situated on
the seize of his own castle to the east ; it is also re.
corded, .bet he was butied in the church of the
Priory of Pontefract, bat his body being begged by
the Monks, was supposed to have been more privately
interred. If the surmise be correct, the remains have
boss mouldering for the space of 500 years. The
collie appears to hare been formed at of a solid block.
