HE judges of the court of king's bench gave judgment in the four great caufes of Maffey against Rice, in error, and thereby unanimoufly agreed in affirming the common recoveries, fuffered by the late John Dutton, Efq; of his feveral estates in the county and county of the city of Limerick; which feveral estates the faid John Dutton by his will, devised to the Rev. Richard Rice, the defendant in the faid caufes. A trial was had (by Nifi Prius) at the court of exchequer, on an action of trever, brought by Mr. Richard Maxwell, of Pill-lane, merchant, plaintiff, against John Bourke, jun. Efq; a revenue officer, defendant. The action was laid for 2000l. damages; the defendant (as difcharging officer) having detained the plaintiff's goods, after his having paid his Majefty's duties thereon. The articles (detained) confifted of a large quantity of Fuftians imported from England, of different patterns;

to which the manufacturers there had thought proper to give new technical terms. The plaintiff, regardless of thofe new terms, entered his goods in the ufual manner, under the denomination of Fuftians; which admits of (and ftands rated by law) "Jaens, Millians, and Barmillians, and the like, of English manufacture, made of thread," to be imported here, fubject to a certain duty." But the officer chose to avail the revenue of thofe new technical terms, given by the English manufacturers, and infifted on the plaintiff's paying the duties under thofe new denominations, ad Valorem; which the plaintiff refufed. The goods were then detained in his majesty's store, notwithftanding the repeated applications, by memorials, remoftrances, &c. of the plaintiff, to the commiffioners, for the delivery of his goods, till the feafon for his fales had elapfed; when he was induced to bring his action against the detaining officer, as above, for the da

TH

HIS celebrated authoress (who has been frequently filed the tenth mufe) was born at Rouen, and is wife to Mr. Du Bocage, a gentleman of rank and fortune in the Lyonnois, in France. She has charmed as much by her elegant writings, as by her lovely form; and the refpect fhewn her by the nobility and literati of England, Holland and Italy will testify her worth. In the year 1750 fhe, in company with her husband, vifited the two former countries; and in the year 1757, went through the greateft part of the latter. Her obfervations during her travels, which the communicated, in a course of letters, to her fifter (widow of Monfieur Du Perron, counfellor of the parliament of Paris) were publifhed in France, in the year 1764; and an English tranflation thereof was printed in Dublin in the year 1771.

Her poems, which make two volumes, contain the following works:

La Paradis Terreftre, imitated from Milton.

Les Amazons, a Tragedy, acted at Paris in 1748. August, 1774.

The Temple of Fame, imitated from Pope.

A Poem, which obtained the prize at the Academy of Rouen.

A Funeral Oration on Prince Eugene, tranflated from the Italian of Cardinal Paffionei.

The Colombiade, an Epic Poem, on the difcovery of America by Christopher Columbus,

The Confpiracy of Wallenstein, tranflated into Italian from the French of Monfieur Sarazin.

And fundry mifcellaneous pieces.

The extraordinary merit of this lady gained her a feat in the academies of Padua, Bologna, Rome and Lyons; and not to have heard of her works, argues a perfon to be quite a stranger in the republic of letters.

The delicacy of mind of Madame Du Bocage, and the justness of her fentiments, may be learned from the following little poem, written in England on feeing the English ladies nurfing their own children.
