Surrey Lent Affizes.
At the same Affifes, two perfons, John Birch and George Vanderzee, (humble Retainers of the Law) were indicted on a profecution of Mr Deputy Iliffe, and fome other Gentlemen of London, for a very rude and violent affault committed in the courfe of laft fummer; agreed to pay all the expefses of the profecution, amounting to between £50 and £60, and alfo to fubfcribe 10 guineas each to fome public charity, on all proceedings againft them being ftopped. This was done under the immediate recommendation of the judge, (Baron Hothman) who paid many compliments to the Prosfcutor for his fpirit on the occafion; and delivered fome pretty fevere admonitions to the culprits, on their unjuftifiable behaviour; not only in committing the offence, but in having contrived to harafs and delay the profecutor by every means in their power.

Court of Exchequer.
Vanderzee v Baxter.
This action came on to be tried before the Lord Chief Baron at the Sittings in last Hillary Term, and was brought by George Vanderzee, of the Kings Remembrancer's Office in the Exchequer, against Dudley Baxter an attorney of Atherstone, in Warwickshire, for business done in 1795. It thus arose at Warwick Summer Assizes, 1794, in a cause of Miller v Foster, the following issue was tried " Whether certain lands in Wolvey, consisting of 500 acres, in the county of Warwick, belonged to the Order of Knights Templars, previous to the Council of Lateran, dated 1215. Upon this trial of verdict was given for the defendant Foster. The most important evidence produced was an ancient MS dated 1185, compiled by Geoffrey Fitz Stephen, a Master of the Temple; and this MS was said by a very experienced Antiquary to contain all the possessions of the Knights Templars in England at the time of the date, and no mention was made of Wolvey.
The plaintiff Miller, the defendant Baxter's client, being dissatisfied with the verdict, moved the Court of King's Bench, for a new trial, which was granted. It was then that plaintiff Vanderzee was applied to by Miller's attorney, the defendant Baxter, who advised him of the necessary steps and enquiries to be made, and who also undertook to investigate the matter thoroughly; and after very painful researchers at all the repositories of records, and manuscripts public and private, in London, and at the Ashmolean and Bodleian libraries at Oxford, the plaintiff so far succeeded, that upon the second trial before Mr Barron Hotham, at the Summer Assizes at Warwick, in 1795, he was enabled to prove, from very ancient original records and documents, that the Manor of Wolvey the locus in quo did belong to the Knights Templars, at the time of the dissolution and seizure of their property in 1308, Edw.II. That the Knights Templar's possessed the identical lands, and to an acre perhaps before; but certainly eight years only after the date of Council of Lateran in 1215. That the manuscript dated 1185, and compiled Geoffrey Fitz Stephen, did not contain all the property the Knights Templar's were possessed of at that time. And further, that the probability was that the Knights Templar's acquired more property between 1185 and 1215, than between any two other periods. Upon this trial a verdict was given for the plaintiff, Miller, and his lands in Wolvey were thereby exempted from tithes.
For the services rendered by Mr Vanderzee the plaintiff, upon this trial, Mr Baxter the defendant refused payment, and for it this action was brought; but it being recommended to refer the matter in difference, the same were referred to James Allan Park, Esq. who after a very full investigation of the matter by Award, dated the 4th of May instant, ordered the defendant to pay to the plaintiff, the amount of his bill, the costs of the action, and the costs of the reference and Award.

The price will be one guinea in boards. No more copies will be printed than are subscribed for, and as an objection is frequently taken to works published by subscription when money is previously demanded, no payment will be required till the delivery of the work.

Burglary and Robbery.
Between 7 and 8 o'clock on Thursday evening, Mr Reid, the chief officer of Hatton Garden, received information that a robbery had just been committed in the house of G Vanderzee, Esq, number 5 St John's Street Bedford Row. He immediately repaired to the place, and upon examination, discovered that the robbers entered the house through the attic window, which stands upon a level with the leaden gutter of the roof, and rifled the upper apartments of whatever they contained, namely 3 dozen of new linen shirts, an equal quantity of shifts, several new blue and black coats, and other articles of wearing apparel, together with 2 valuable mourning ring's, and a gold brooch set in garnet. The mode by which the robbers effected their assent to the roof of Mr Vanderzee's house was by passing through the house number 3 at present empty, and which it is supposed they entered by means of false keys. The robbery was committed while the family were dinner, and although an unusual noise was heard upstairs, about the time the robbery is supposed to have been committed, no notice was taken of the circumstance, from the idea that it was occasioned by some individual belonging to the family.
The robbers in their hurry to escape, left behind them a ripping chisel, a tinderbox, and a small piece of candle.

George's address given in the St Pancras Parish Chapel burial register, dated 10 Apr 1837, was Francis Tce., Kentish Town. His name is mis-transcribed by Ancestry as Vanderzar, he was aged 71.
George Vanderzie, of Francis Tce Kentish Town was also recorded as buried in the register of St John the Baptist Kentish Town on the 10 April 1837 aged 71.
The researcher has taken the view that George was probably buried in the vast and famous, church yard of St Pancras Parish Chapel.
