THE KNIGHT or tin cols V. TUE KING OF i Cr

ilarox•RALr..—A Knight of the Comb, wi,*
resides at New Crag, helm., Deptford, applied ~
tbw days since for a summons against the cele-
brated Mr. Inglehy, Kink of the Cottjurors, to
recover 'the value of a ntnnber of wigs, of dilfor.
t patterns. The clause came ou to be heard yo..
.terday, when the Plaintiff stated, that he was scut
fora few days since to operate on the chin of Nir.
Demee, master of fhe New-Cross Coffee-house:
when, knowing it to be a well-accustomed house,
ke determined to make a tradi!•,; excursion of it,
and for that purpose packed up such an assort.
ment of scratches, &whites, bobs, and fug.
ilottents, as he thought would hit the fancy •f
every customer ; he placed the box which con.
gained them in the bar, and commenced his opera-
tiou on the chit, of the landlord ; his progre,s,
however, was soon sospeitdea,• by the sudden dis.
appearance of his box of wigs. Which vanished in
such a manner, that he at Js convinced the Deril
or a Coq/4rue must have had a hand in it; and
1 being hiformed that a person who had just kit
1 the room was the famoes King of the Cottjurors,
lhe WWI inclined rather to give him the eretlit of
being cit.werned, than the first mentioned'gentla
mon. Tile wigs, Luwever, by some menus, had
found their way back to the right owner's shop,
'and the Defeollool having answerbd the charge to
the batisfJetiou o the Magistrates, hd dismissed
the t'otiiiiiailk, and advised the Prosecutor, if he
WJS not perfectly satisfied, to apply to his Attor.
no., who would advise him how to proceed.
The Plaintiff observed, he was not satisfied; he
had great legal friends, and 4watd consult them ;
he mate a ne:o wig fur Counsellor Garrow, who
was much attached to him, every year, and he
would apply to Mal, who, he was sure, would
give him goOd ativiett.
The Magistrate 10plautled his resolution, and
advised him to persevere it.
