Some years ago, a cause of considerable importance was tried in the Court of King's Bench, relative to arbitrary fines. Mr. D. was retained on behalf of the respective townships, as to the right of the claimant to an arbitrary fine, and when the case came on for a hearing, he was allowed to plead in person before the Judges, an uncommon circumstance; and it is said the learned Bench complimented him on his acquirements, and he ultimately obtained a verdict, setting the claim aside, substituting a certain fine.

 

On Wednesday last, at Maryport, Margaret BROWN, aged 83. On the same day, Miss S. MARS, daughter of the late Capt. MARS, of the brig Bolton, which was lost off the bay of Waterford on the 19th ult. and all on board perished; the Captain had two sons on board.

At Crosby, Kirk Marown, Isle of Man, Mr. Wm. CLAGUE, aged 21.

 

Last week, at Brussels, after a lingering illness, M. DAVID, the celebrated French historical painter.

At Dovemount, Roxburghshire, on the 21st ult. aged 63, Robert TURNBULL, Esq. of Galalaw and Canaan. Mr. T. was the last of a very ancient house; and from the family records it appears that one of his ancestors bore arms in the Crusades, which circumstance is corroborated by the name of his paternal estate (Canaan). He died without issue, and was the last gentleman of note in Roxburghshire who adhered to the Catholic religion.

 

At his father's house, Killyloo, near Londonderry, on the 28th inst., Capt. James Boyle BABINGTON R. N., son of the Rev. Richard BABINGTON. The distinguished services of this gentleman, as First Lieutenant of the Impregnable, 74 guns, at the Bombardment of Algiers, were soon followed by his promotion to the rank of Commander, and in the execution of his duty, in the direction of the Water Guard, at Cromer, Norfolk, he contracted through over fatigue, the lingering complaint which has, at length, caused his death.
