s J OF COMMON PLEAS—v. 11. Mr. Serjeant Shepherd shewed cause againsl a rule, obtained by Alr. Scijeaift Best, for at habeas cvrptig, to bring up the body of a per son, named George Foster, coachman in ordi- nary to His Majesty, who had been arrested in consequence of bis uot having honoured a bill of exchange, accepted by him. The rule has been granted by the Court, upon the grounds, that he was m the service of His Majesty and in consequence of his being so situate, was, by Act Of Parliament, exempted f,roin arrest.-It was granted by Mr. Serjeant Shepherd, that Foster was coachman in ordi- nary to his Majesty but that he was also in f partnership with a man named Otway, who carried on business at, and owned the One Bell Inn,' in the strand. The bill had been,addres- sed toOtway and Foster, and accepted "George Foster and Co." By this it appeared; that ^Foster' had been dealliug in the mercantile way., aijd it was but- just that he should; as any other trader, feel this consequence of in- solvency.. Mr. Serjeant Best sai3, that he.had Foster's affidavit, as to his employment under His Ma- jesty. He observed, that it would be attended with very disagreeable effeclfs, and be produce tiveof great inconveniencies to His Majesty, if, upon his going to the House of Lords, orelse- 'o whiSTe, hfs earriage shoold be stopped by con* stables, for the purpose of taking eae of h^ servants into custody. The-Lord Chi«f'Justice said, that it was hot his profin6e to inquire with what propriety a servant of His Majesty .tnfgb-t ehgage in any ^business, the faihijre of ^hich nugiit.'be pro- ductive of.injury lo others: it was inenmbent on the Court, to protect eyery person in any privileges he had. received by -act of ParliaV inent, and as this prlfjejege actually existed, it was not posvibttjo do ii. itway without, a re- peal of the act which created it. v

The A rchbishop, notv knowing the custom, enquired of the.Bislio^i of Rochester, and other dignitaries of the church," and not being able to give any an- swer, his Majesty -immediately took off his crown, saying, no Monarch could be tvo humble upon such an occasion. ^1^-7'/)^.—Tlie following recent case, a se U thenticated by Mr. Cameron, ari*eminei»t sffr-' geon of W orcester, may tend to remove the objections against this disorder, and throw- some suspicion upon the boasted security, of the smalt !)bX, JohB Skyrmc, tlie son of a respectable tradesman in this city, 18 years of age. was, on Friday the 20th October, seized, with ihivering, and other symptoms of fever j on the third day, Monday, an eruption ap- pearedclTitfly about the face and neck when i saw it, 1 immediately said, this looks like" the -to which- his mother repliedj that could not be, as he was inocutated when he was threfe wek. old, together with four other children and two servants, all of whom had the-disuse.to the entire satisfaction of the; u^diealj^ttendant^ who, 1 may venture to assort, from my personal knowledge of him, could not have been deceived aki,4 all, the. others Irav*- hitherto escaped, which probably would aot have been the case, bad th^y not had the h^is now gone regular stage* ulijyppw ration and^^i^MOiation, and, that no dotfl^t might rem&iriv' 1 hnv-e requested stverargeir- tlemen of the profession lo visit Jiim, who are .naniinouslfv.aof opinion, that he has had the small shake o«rc<in lidei ce in the immunity afforded hy small pox inoculation and the following circumstance nfay perhaps induce us to place a superior re- liance ou the cow-pock.

N.

Jfetmen ch4 Mermaid*.—-fTo the late well- authenticated accounts of the existence and appearance of Mermaids, given by Miss Mac- kay, of Eeay, and the Thurso SchoQlraaster, in letters, which, after Iheir appearance in this paper, particularly excited the attention of the Glasgow Philosophical Society, may be added the following antient authorities, touch- ing the actual existence of those extraordinary cieatares:— AléxatHlër, ab Alexandro affirms, that he has known a Merman steal a womau ;—he adds causa concubitusj" Ferdinand Alvares, Secretary to the storehouse of the Indians, says, he saw. a young Merinan come out of the waters and steal fish, to dry on the shore by the fishernjeii.In the year -1487, a Merman was fished up oa the coast of Stiffolk, and kept for six months by the Governor; this is related in many of our English "fchroni- clesi the writers of which add, that it bo^e so near a conformity with man, that nothing seemed wanting to it besides speech. It took an fppoi tunitjr of making its escape, and, I) lu Rig i tile sea, was never more beard of. In 1580 uear the island of Manar, on the w stem coast of the island Ceyl#n, some fishermen brought up at one draught of the net, aeveh Mermen and Maids, of which seve- ral Jesuits (and among the t-est, F. Hen. Hen- riques, and biinar Bosquer^ physician to the Viceroy of Goa) were witnesses. The physi- cian, who examined them with much cart;, and made many dissections from them, asserts, that all their parts, both internal and external", were found perfectly ^conformable to-those of men. (See ffitt. de la Campagnie de Jasut, torn. iv. Kro. 876, where the relation is given at ienglh.) We have another account, Weil l attested, of a Merman seen near the Diamond Hock, on the coast of Martinico the persons who viewed it, gave in a precise description of it before a notary. A creature of the same; species was caught in the Baltic in the year 1534, and sent as a present io Sigisnnuid, King of Poland,* with whom it Jived three days, and was seen by all the Court. Genera:! Ilarri^, ofBelmoiit, near Feversham Kent, was imposed upon the oilier day,.in the foJIovVirig manner: -A man pretending to be an itinerant clock-maker, called at the Gene raPs house, and asked for a job to put to rights any sof the clocks that might want rectifying a large clock over the stabetbeing out of re pair, the man was immediately set to work upon it, who contrived to prolong his job (re- maining in the cock-loft, excepting at meal and bed times) for the space of two days, making the clock strike at intervals, as if he was hard at work. At the cud of two days he pronounced his job completed, and received for it a guinea, over and above his eatables and drinkables; he had not left the house however, many hours before it was discover- ed that the clock woutd neither act or strike, and, on an iuquiry beiug set on foot respect- ing the clock-maker, it proved that he was a taylor, on the tramp from Margate to London who, at the village of Ospringe, had heard some persons praising the General's stable clock, and saying it was a pity it was out of repair, when the shrewd taylor applied for the job, for the purpose of raising the wind* which having raised, enabled him lo-fly his kite to London, where the rogue, no doubt, arrived highly pleased at having out-manceuvred the gallant General who out-maurcuvred Tippoo bultauiv, at Seringapalain. • Instance of heroic courage of Mr. Worth; jj midshipman, and son of the late Admiral 'd Worth:—At the latter end of last year, or, early in this, Mr. Worth, with five more Englishmen, attempted to make his escape from the Forte of mtche, in France, by means of a rope made froiii their sheets. The height of that part of the fort from whence Ihey descended, is near 96 feet perpendicular. Five succeeded, but the sheet unfortunately broke, and precipitated this brave tad near SO feet, by which be broke his thigh. Such was his courage, although in excruciating pain,, that he remained at the foot of the fort fronr ifeVen o'clock in the evening till eight ;the ifex. £ morning.. While he lay in torture, tlm^inglit patrole-passed close to him; in the nybi-iiinl- they found him still lying in the diteh, and asked him why he had uot called for as&$siance ? His answer w. What, aud betray ()n'irides I No— thank God they have a night's start of you."—He recovered, attd, irftmediately on his recovery, according to the French humanity, was put into a dun- geon ftfKjeveral weeks. This same young man iinade thp^ame desperate attempt two years others; but at the moment '6t Ole rope being fixed, to the bar of the sou- -feraine, an officer tumbled over the rope; -this gave the alarm.

W ESTMI ST k r AB»EY.—^Theexterior of this magnifivent pile is' how undergoing a tho- rough.repair, <,without i^ny alteration being to be form of the ancient architecture. On Jhe spot where the fcwog ta small island, there wapiti the time ol' the Romans, a heathen tempte dedicated to Apollo. On the ruins of thislempl&t Sebert, King of the East Saxons, in the year 8l0,;built the abbey, which was dedicated to fet, Peter, who, the legend says,, consecYated it himself, the might before that^ ceremony was to be performed.
