PRINCE of WALES's Council.
County of Cornwall.

At a Council of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, held at Carlton-Houfe, the 8th of February, 1786, Michael Nowell, of Falmouth, Efq. was appointed Sheriff for the County of Cornwall for the year 1786, by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales

in Council.

The long-contested caufe between the vicar of Odiham, in Hampshire, plaintiff, and the Chancellor of Sarum, and the others the impropriators, defendants, was finally determined by the Judges of the Exchequer in favour of the vicar, by his having a prefcriptive right to all fmall tithes, though he could not bring an endowment. By this decifion, the right of the interior clergy to the tithes of clover-feed, turnip-feed, and all finall tithes whatever, is at laft fettled.

Mr. Stodhart, from the tax-office, has made a report to the tax-office Commiflioners at Guildhall, that the fhop-tax is not intended to be levied on the keepers of taverns, coffee-houses, or public-houses, they being already heavily taxed by way of licenfe.

The Emperor, by an edit dated Jan. 4, 1786, has laid an additional duty of three per cent. on iron and steel works imported into his dominions, and on musical inftru

ments.

11. Came on in the Court of King'sBench, at Weftminster, the trial of thirteen perfons, prifoners in the King's-Bench, for a defign to blow up the wall of the prifon, and to escape from thence, on the 14th of Auguft laft. It was a trial at bar before the four Judges, and a Special Jury, on an information (at the fuit of the King) filed ex officio by the Attorney-General. The indictinent was laid against them for a confpiracy and misdemeanor, and after a very long trial they were all found Guilty.

13. Being the taft day of Hilary Term, the Court of King's Bench ordered the perfons found guilty latt Friday of a confpiracy in the King's Bench Prifon to be brought to

A trial at Bar is fo called in contradiftinction to a trial at Nifi Prius, the Court confifting of the four Judges and a Jury. A Court of Nifi Prius, where only one Judge attends, 2 not the Court of King's Bench, although the fitting is on the fame spot.

the bar, when the following fentences were paffed, That the prifoners Bogue, Boyton, Keene, and Whitehead, be imprifoned for three years in Newgate, and that they each do give feverally two hundred pounds in fecurities for their good behaviour during life. -That Sylvefter, Pocock, and Leech be confined in the Surrey Bridewell for two years, and that they give two hundred pounds fecurity in the fame manner. That Yarnolet, Jordan, Wilfon, Orfborn, Townfhend, and Barnet, be confined in the New Gaol for two years, and that they each give fecurity in two hundred pounds for their good behaviour.-The prifoners were conducted to their refpe&tive places of confinement, under a proper guard of marfhalmen, gaolers, and their affiftants.

15. A person of the name of Lewis flood on the pillory in the New Palace Yard, Westminster, for perjury. Report having propagated, that the public were to be gratified by the exhibition of a certain Attorney, now under fentence for the fame crime; this drew together a much greater concourse of people, than in all probability would have attended Lewis on any occafion.

Same morning the following malefactors were brought out of Newgate, and executed on a fcaffold facing the Debtors' door, viz. William Cowell Davis, for forging and uttering an order for the payment of 671. 75. 6d. on Sir William Lemon and Co. bankers, purporting to be the order of James Branf combe, with an intent to defraud him; William Shovell and William Collier, for a burglary in the houfe of William Smith, and ftealing a crown piece and two dollars, a guinea, and four table-fpoons; William Fox, alias Jagger, for ftealing in the dwelling-houfe of Samuel Leffey, in Carolinacourt, Saffron-hill, feveral filver spoons, two filver falts, twelve fhirts, and other apparel; and John Callahan, for robbing James Hales on the highway, at Saltpetre-bank, of a hat and handkerchief.

The fame morning William Shaw Hines was carried from Newgate in a cart, attended by the proper officers, the filver oar being carried before him to Execution-dock, where he fuffered according to his fentence, for piratically entering and failing away with his Majefty's cutter the Swift, John Fairhead, commander.

Particulars of the Ceremony obferved at the Inauguration of the Column erected in the FoTeft of Guifnes, to the Honour of Mr. Blanchard.

ON the 7th of January, at three o'clock, P. M. the Magiftrates of the town of Gurfnes, with M. de Guifelam de Bienaffife, Mayor and Sindic of the Noblefe of the diftrict of Calais, proceeded to the Column which had been erected in the King's foreft, where they found M. Blanchard, accompa nied by the Viscount Defandroudin, Chamberlain to the Emperor ad Knight of Mal

[ocr errors]

ta, as alfo by M. de Follye, Knight of St. Louis and Captain Commandant in the regiment of Poitou.

M. de Launay, King's attorney for the municipal body, then addreffed M. Blanchard in the following terms:

"We are proud of the honour, Sir, of having you here at the fame day and hour on which you alighted laft year; but the fight of this Column, and the infcription given for it by the Academy, forbid all compliment. This monument, and the act of its inauguration, which we are now going to fign jointly with you, Sir, will fupply its place. Both will laft to the moft remote pofterity. Both will immortalize the memory of the first Aeronaut who had the courage to cross the feas, and both will bear witnefs to the juft admiration, with which we regard an event that will form the most glorious epocha in this century."

M. Blanchard's reply was as follows: "Gentlemen,

"This Column, the valuable bint of your love for the Arts, the infcription with which it has been honoured by the Academy, fay every thing for you, Gentlemen, and fay much more than I have deferved; but how fhall I acquit my felf? what terms shall I use to express my admiration of and gratitude for a treatment equally noble and generous? Silence and refpect, Gentlemen, must be my only reply."

The Clerk then read the A&t of Inaugura tion, and received the fignatures; after which the company returned to Guifi es, where the Mayor and Efchevins had caufed a very magnificent entertainment to be provided; after which there was a ball; the Nobleffe and principal inhabitants, as well as a number of foreigners who had attended at the inauguration, were fharers of the feftivity: Among others were two gentlemen who had accompanied M. Blanchard in his aerial voyages, viz. the Cheval er L'Epinard, and M. d'Honicthun, an officer in the legion of Maillebois.

The only ornament of the hall was a portrait of M. Blanchard, with a fide view of the Column, in a medallion encircled by a myrile wreath, and furrounded by a crown of laurel, with this infcription, written by M. de Laplace, citizen of Calais : Autant que le Francois l' Anglois fut intrepide, Tous les deux ont plané jufqu'au plus haut der airs,

Tous les deux, fans Navaire, ont traversé les
