mediation; the prifoner threatened to blow out their brains, and held a piftol to them; then gave the fignal, and the gun was fired, which fcattered the deceafed's body into pieces.

Upon cross-examination, it appeared that the deceafed, three days before his execution, had fent his clothes to the Dutch fort, and betrayed a difpofition to defert.

Some witneffes were called on behalf of the prifoner, to justify the act from neceffity, and in defence of the fort, which was intended to be given up by the deceafed and his confederates, who had meditated to murther the captain; but it was infifted on by the counsel for the crown, that the captain should have fent the deceased to Cape-Coalt, and called a court-martial. On the other hand, it was allowed that there were no officers to compofe a court-martial. it was contended, he fhould have been confined, and fent to England. To this it was replyed, that at Moree there was not a place of latety, but at Cape-Coalt there was.

Then

Judge Willes, in his charge, observed, that the cafe refted on two questions: First, Was the prifoner juftifyed by martial law? Secondly, Was it an act of neceifity ?-Moft clearly it was indefenfible by martial law? The prifoner would not hear the man, but without any form of law put him to death. If the Jury, therefore, found him guilty, he deferved a fevere condemnation. As to the other point, the jury would maturely confider it. Accordingly, they withdrew for above two hours, and then brought in their verdict Guilty, with a recommendation. Sentence of death was immediately pronounced by the recorder, but, in confequence of the recommendation of the jury, Judge Willes refpited the prifoner for a week, to lay his cafe before his Majesty, fince which he has been further refpited till the 7th of January next.

SATURDAY, II.

This day, at eleven o'clock, came on before Lord Chief Baron Skynner, and a special jury, at Guildhall, the new tryal directed by the Court of Exchequer, in an action of damages, brought by Capt. Sutton, of the Ifis, againft Commodore Johnftone, for maliciously and unjustly fuperfeding the captain in his command of the Ihis man of war, at Port Praya, on the 22d of April, 1781. The trial laited till Sunday, at two o'clock, when the jury gave a verdict for Captain Sutton, of fix thousand pounds damages. There was a greater number of witnetfes examined than perhaps ever on any former trial. Among these the evidence of Admiral Edwards was remarkable, and bids fair to revive a fubject almost forgotten. He was asked by the counsel for Commodore Johnftone, whether he knew of any officer who had difobeyed the admiral's fignal? He answered Yes. He was defired to give the inftance. He faid that he had himself, with five other officers, difobeyed a fignal, and in doing fo he was of opinion he had done nothing contrary to his duty as a good officer. The tignal was to join, with a view to engage the enemy; but as his ship was difabled, and unfit for a fresh engagement, he thought it prudent not to rifque the lofs of a whole fleet, by taking difabled ships into action.

This evidence was given by the admiral with
great firmnefs, and evinced that he was of opinion
that inferior officers were not in all cafes left
without a difcretionary power.
MONDAY, 13.

This day came on to be tried before Lord Mansfield, and a fpecial jury of London, an action brought by Mifs Anne Smith, the daughter of a reputable tradefman at Oxford, againit Mr. Adye, fon of a clothier in Gloucestershire, for breach of promife of marriage.-The acquaintance between the parties commenced when the defendant was a itudent at Oxford; and he continued a correfpondence, with many promiles of marriage, during five years, when he became acquainted with a Mifs Vines, whom he married. The difappointment affected the young lady (whole character appeared to be irreproachable) fo violently, that her life was depaired of for feveral months. This fact was proved by Dr. Parfons of Oxford. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, in 4000l. damages, with coits.

TUESDAY, 16.

The following daring attempt at a robbery was made at Mr. Rice's houfe, at Tooting. About five o'clock, two of a gang rang the bell of the outer gate, but the footman fufpecting their appearance, refufed to open it; they then fwore they would force the gate, which induced the footman to' run into the houfe, and call the coachman, who, with a bricklayer's labourer, came out to his affiftance. The coachman was armed with a blunderbufs, which he attempted to fire, but it unfortunately flashed in the pan, upon which the villains instantly attacked him with their cutlafies, and wounded him in a fhocking manner; and at the fame time another of the gang difcharged a piftol at the bricklayer, and lodged two balls in his head. As the gang was now increased to seven, the footman made the best of his way into the houfe, and gave his mater the alarm in time to enable him to lock himself in. He then got over a garden wall, and alarmed the town of Tooting, which he did fo expeditiously, that the villains decamped over the common, with no booty but the coachman's blunderbufs.

THE

SCOTLAND.

HE commutation tax does not feem to be much relished in Scotland. On the 27th of a month, the commiffioners of fupply for the County of Edinburgh determined two appeals in tavour of the fubject, which will go a great way to render the tax unproductive, at least for the prefent year. The firft was in the cafe of a houfe belonging to Lord Adam Gordon, which had been inhabited for feveral years back only by fervants, to air the rooms and take care of the furniture, and they had been removed to an out-houte before the commencement of the act. The commiffioners were unanimously of opinion that the house was not chargeable. The fecond was on a house inhabited by a factor, or collector of rents, to the Duke of Buccleugh. On this cafe it was argued, that as the inhabitant paid no rent for his houfe it was the property of the Duke, who was already charged for two houfes, and therefore not liable for a third. The plea was held good by the commiflioners, and wil exempt almost every collecter of rents in Scotland. In the former cafe, it was even contended that the new duty is not chargeable on any house in Scotland, because it is only leviable, by the ftatute, upon houfes already charged

at three billings; whereas, no houfe in Scotland is charged above one filling.

The committee of citizens of Edinburgh have applied to the Duke of Richmond to support their petition to parliament for altering the prefent mode of electing their reprefentatives. The Duke has returned the following answer to their fecretary: "SIR, Whiteball.

"I received your letter, inclofing the refolutions of the citizens of Edinburgh, and requefting my affiftance in fupport of their petition to parliament for altering the prefent mode of electing their reprefentatives.

"I truft, Sir, that the part I have taken in fupport of every measure that tends to reitore to the whole nation the right of every individual to have a voice in electing the reprefentative be a fufficient pledge, that I should fupport every who is to make laws by which he is bound will plan for extending the right of fuffrage beyond its prelent narrow limits.

"The citizens of Edinburgh may, therefore, be affured, that I thall always be ready to affit the reform they propofe; and I am happy to fee that they are taking thofe fteps which will prove that they are in earneft in their at tempts to recover their rights. I am, Sir, your mott obedient humble fervant, "RICHMOND, LENNOX, AND AUBIGNY," Thomas M'Gruger, Efq.

EAST INDIES.

HE report concerning the fate of General Matthews, mentioned in our laft, is but too well confirmed. Circumftances are varioly related, but there is no difagreement with regard to the fact. General Matthews was undoubtedly deftroped, and, as is generally believed, by poifon. The held officers, most of the captains, and fome of the fubalterns, fhared the fame fate. Besides those who were cut off by poifon, many, as well officers as privates, perithed miferably in the courfe of a long march up the Myfore country, loaded with irons, deititute of every comfort, and of every neceflary. The furvivors were ftill further reduced by a long and rigorous imprifon

ment.

On the 22d of this month a letter from Mr. Haftings was read at the India-Houfe, which involved a prodigious quantity of matter and fpeculation. We fay fpeculation, for the fanguine and eager prognoftications of the governour-general are by no means to be reckoned upon a facts. At prefent, want of room will permits to state only one incident, which Mr. Hattings himself confiders as of the first importance. It is contained in a poftfcript, dated the 11th of April. The heir apparent to the throne of Delhi, who is at least thirty-fix years of age, has cloped from that court. The country was confequently every where alarmed, and the paffes guarded, that the royal youth might not escape. Orders had reached Lucknow, where Mr. Hattings was, to the fame effect. But, before any measures of this kind could be executed, very different mandates had been iffued from the Superme Court at Delhi, that the Prince should every where be received with all the honours due to

his rank. The Nabob of Lucknow being apprifed of this circumftance, all poffible preparations were made, and the prince was met about eighteen miles diftant from town by whatever was neceffary to treat the fon of the Great Mogul with the honours which became his fovereignty. The Nabob and Mr. Haftings did homage to him on their knees. He was in great diftrefs for almost every neceffary of life. In the proceffion Mr. Haftings would not be one, He, notwithstanding, yielded him his houfe, on account of its contiguity to the court. It was foon feen what the object of the royal vifit was; the affistance and friendship of the English, to rid the Emperour from the fordid wretches who furround and control him. The fituation of the Imperial fufferer was painted in the moit glowing and pathetic colours; and every argument used with the governour-general, to make the Company a party in the caufe. The prince was not above real want. Generous efforts were made to relieve him; but he fcorned them all, while his father continued in the wretched ftate in which he had reprefented him. The prefents of a pecuniary nature tendered to him he earneftly begged might be remitted to Delhi. He would not hare in any luxury whatever, while his royal father remained in his prefent neceffitous condition. Mr. Haftings's advice to him was nearly to this effect:-He condoled with the young prince on the hardships of his family, but faid, at the fame time, that he came there with a limited commiffion; that he could not give any hopes from what the Company might be difpofed to do in his favour; that the country to which they belonged had but jutt breathed from a state of war, and would not plunge itfelf into a fimilar fituation, if poffible. He advifed him, however, to be as early as poffible in fecuring the chiefs of the Mahratta tribes, and to do his utmost in getting them on his fide. One expreffion feemed to infinuate that
