CLOVICI.LY SUFTERIMS.—At a meeting of the CoD.
mittee at. the Town-ltall, Plymouth, on Friday, the
Treasurer reported the subscriptions received in peek
to be 1091. 2s. dd. and the whole amount throtiglsotst
the county nearly 2,5001. Thus by the charitable
exertions of those who feel for others woe," a sum
has been raised fully adequate not only to replace the
whole of the property lost in boats and nets, but to
allow annuities to the poor widows, and all the chil-
dren 'dependent on them for support, under certain
stipulations.
A correspondent from Sonthmolton, is speaking of
the Cloven). Subscription, says—it Ansongst the be-
nefactors to those unfortunate sufferers by the Into
storm, to let one who has displayed a singular bright
example remain unnoticed, would be a breath of duty.
His just enlogium should he told, as potent tes-
timony, to those who know him ; and to those who
do not, it may be said, ti Go thou Red do liheoise."
It is in the private walks of last where sasefolsees is
most apparent ; and we feel peculiar plesesee in re-
cording the following benefaction of Thema* Hogg,
Eq.. of Appledore, to a poor widow who. bats fool-
kb child to maintain. That truly peteipic and cha-
ritable character has given 601. tly interest of which
is for the rent of a lonise, Sac. besides • the oleos:
daily employment of this poor distressed crestere.—
This tribute of respect to such humane conduct will
but faintly poems), our admiration of one who so
nobly and generously attended the meeting in his
town, as the loyal and manly protector of his pens-
euted and oppressed Queen, and who hes ever beta
the constant advocate of the People's rights."-.44:-

This was an action by Mr. Robins, the celebrated
Auctioneer for the amount of his charges against the
Defendant for surveying, and putting up to sale, an
"mate in Gleucesterehire. Mean. SCARLETT and 0.
hliettinirr were Counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Otmeav for the defendant. On the part of the plain-
iiffit was proved that a Mr. Beale, who formerly acted
is 11ttnettey••• for the defendant, communicated to him
.•\ I •
lie amtint,„pf the plaintiff's charge, which was 891.
Including 25/. for surveying the estate, and 101. for
trevelling; and that the defendant promised to pay it.
Xr.Guaxer; however, Insisted that the plaintiff bad
iimited his demand to a much less sum by an express
agreement, and that the defendant had objected to a
pOrry, on whickoccasion the plaintiffsaid he was go-
.. •
ling on a visit near the estate, and would just look at it.
The defendant pleaded a tender of 501. and paid that
smu into Court. The Loan CHIEF Jusnce left it to
the Jury.. to say whether this was sufficient, ob-
serving .tbak.they would probably doubt whether tra-
velling. exPenees could, under the circumstances,
"be fairly charged. The Jury, after a short consults-
‘ti-On give the plaintiff a verdict for 701. ss. The
plaintiff having denied the tender, the defendant had a
verdict in his favour on the second issue.
