    3. Mr. Thomas ROBERTS, printer, of Carnarvon, has obtained a decree in the Court of Chancery, to set aside a deed procured from him by his father in 1808?, by fraud and without consideration, by which he conveyed his interest in an estate called Brynsteddfod to his said father, by whom it was afterwards devised to his younger children, although the plaintiff was his eldest son and heir at law. The will was likewise set aside, and Mr. ROBERTS has recovered possession of the estate. Mr. EDWARDS, of Plas yr esgob, near Ruthin, Denbighshire, is the fortunate holder of a sixteenth of the 20,000l. prize drawn on Friday last. The Lottery which finished the 6th inst. was the first to which Mrs. OAKEY, BOOKSELLER, SWANSEA, acted as BISH'S Agent to sell Lottery Tickets and Share, and we are happy to learn that she was fortunate to sell one of the Ten Capitals BISH shared. We understand shares of the above Capitals are also gone to Neath, Carmarthen, and other places in this Principality. Two old foxes and seven full-grown cubs were unkenneled on Saturday in a corn-field in the parish of Llanfihangle Tre'r Beirdd, in Anglesea, which had committed great depredations among the poultry in the neighbourhood. Two of the marauders were taken alive, and the remainder destroyed. Lyn Nunn Brisbane Australia
