The Court of King's Bench laid down a moft important rule with respect to the admiflion of Attornies, which was read by the Clerk, and is in fubftance as follows:

"That, from and after the last day of Michaelmas Term next, it was ordered, that no Attorney who wrote, or did bufinefs, for other Attornies, fhould have any Articled Clerk, or if he bad, that his fervice fhould not be deemed good fervice. And that, before any perfon applied for admiflion to be an Attorney of the Court of King's Bench, unless he had been previously admitted as an Attorney of fome other Court, he thould, for the space of one full term, cause his name and place of abode, as well as the name and place of abode of the Attorney to whom he had been articled, to be written in legible characters on the outfide of the Court of King's Bench, where public notices are ufu. ally stuck up, and alfo in the King's Bench Office, and at the Judges' Chambers."

In the Court of King's Bench, an action was tried, Hopkins verfus Sawyer, which took up a confiderable part of the time and attention of the Court. The Plaintiff, laft fpring, purchased a horse, for thirty guineas, from the Defendant, which was warranted to be found; but the horse dying fome time after the purchase, in confequence of unfoundness, the prefent action was brought to recover his value from the Defendant. The circumftance that created peculiar difficulty in fearching the true merits of the cafe, was the death of the farrier who had the care of the horfe after his coming into the Plaintiff's poffetion. It appeared, however, that the horfe was ill at the time of his delivery, and, growing worfe, fhortly died. Two fervants belonging to the Defendant gave a teftimony directly contrary to that of the witneffes on behalf of the Plaintiff; but Lord Kenyon

partly reconciled the inconfiftencies in fa vour of the Plaintiff.

The Jury retired, and, after fome time, brought in their verdict for the Plaintiff, 311. 10s. July 15.

The gentleman, thinking he was going to amufe himself by fhooting at the birds, took no notice of him, until, alarmed by the report of the piftol, he turned his head, and faw him fall; he then hurried back, and found that the ill-fated young man had placed the muzzle of the piftol to the pole of his neck, and had blown out his brains. On fearching his pockets a card was found, which difcovered his name, and another containing the addrefs of a friend, who, being fent for, immediately attended, and faw the body conveyed to a neighbouring house, for the Coroner's Jury to fit on it.

A poor old woman, with a basket on her head, had a few moments before requested the affiftance of the unhappy man to lift down her burthen, and he had attended to her defire with great humanity and care.

Pecuniary embarrassments are faid to have been the caufe of his committing the rafh act.

In the afternoon a poor countryman was going over Blackfriars Bridge behind a coach, and, in endeavouring to get from behind the fame, before he could recover himself from the leap, was knocked down by the horses of another coach which was coming up at the fame inftant; by which accident the coach wheel went over the back part of the poor man's neck, and killed him on the spot.
