LAW lATILLIG.ENCE. CONSISTOR I COURT, DOC FOR'S COMMONS, JUNE 13. GUARD V. GUARD. t COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 9. BAGGET V. FRIAR. This was a cause of divorce, or separation from bed, heard, and mutual cohabitation, brought by i Lieutenant Colonel Guard, against Margaret Letitia Guard, his wife, by reason of adultery, with Charles Hodge, jun. of Ottery, Devonshire. The parties were marvied in 1809, and have three children. In the year 1806, the Colonel received orders to join his re giment at the Cape of Good Hope, and to go from thence , to the river La Plata, which orders restricted any officer's Ladies accompanying their husbands, al though Mrs. Guard had expressed her desire so to do. In consequence of which Mrs. Guard went to Ottery, where, slvirtly after, she was delivered of a male child, being pregnant at the departure of her husband ; upon which occasion she was attended by Mr. Hodge, sen. in his character of accouchcur. It further appeared that Mr. Hodge, jun. from attend ' ing occasionally at Mrs. Guard's house, became in {imately acquainted with her, and. from whence arose die criminal connection, the consequence of which was die birth of a female child, before the return of Colonel Guard. The facts of adultery being fully established, and that of a verdict of 30001. damages in the Court of King's Bench, Sir W. SCOTT felt no hesitation in pronouncing for the divorce. COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE 14. The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole of this morning in his pri - Vate chamber, in hearing the petitions in the case of the Duke of Sussex and Lady Augusta Murray, relative to the care of their children. About twelve o'clock, his Lordship ordered the Court to be informed, that he .would not be able to attend to any other business in the course of the morning. In the case of the Haymarket Theatre, the Linn CHANCELLOR yef:terclay authorised Mr. Morris, one of the Proprietors, to act, as Treasurer, without prejudice. This was a question, whether a married woman, whose husband had been for many years abroad, and of whom she had heard nothing, could bring an ac tion in her own name ? Mr. Rom!us argued in support of the affirmative; but the Court were clearly of opinion that she could not ; and that the case of Marshall v. Rutton had over-ruled the former decisions, and established the old rule of law, that a married woman could not sue or be sued alone, except when the husband had ab jured the realm. Mr. Gannow moved for a Rule to show cause Why a criminal information should not be tiled against a Mr. Williamson, for provoking a Mr. Crosland to a duel. The parties had had communication with each other on the subject of letting a house, and it was sworn, that in this communication nothing imitating whatever had passed on the side of Mr. Crosland. — The provocati;n was contained in a letter, which Mr. Williamson spewed before he sent it to Mr. Crosland, to a mutual friend of their's, who protested against its being sent, as it amounted to a challenge ; to which Mr. Williamson answered, that he had been very cautious in so wording it, that it should not amount to a challenge. The letter told Mr. Cros land, that he could not be insensible of his improper conduct, and ti,.,! Mr. Williamson expected that re parati.n viLieh his deportment demanded. Lord ELLZSBOROUGII doubted whether the letter amounted to a challenge : it might mean, that Mr. Williamson expected the reparation of an apology.— At any rate, nothing had been done since thereceipt of the letter, which was in the beginning of May, and binding Mr. Williamson to keep the peace, would be quite sufficient.—Rule refused. JUNE 13. Mr. Beitaouotts moved for leave to file a criminal information against a person of the name of Thomas. Well, for insulting the Commissioners of the Income Tax. This person against whom he moved, had been surcharged by the Assessor of the Income Tax, and had appealed to the Commissioners, who con firmed the surcharge, but mitigated it to 450. This he refused to pay, and when summoned to say why he would not pay, he declared he never would pay more than the duty, and that he would not have his pockets picked by a pack of scoundrels. The Learned Counsel said, those gentlemen ought to be protected in the execution of a very unthankful office. The Court said, the expressions were words of an ger,.and not worthy the present mode of prosecution —they had their remedy open by indictment.—Rule refused. Mr. GARNOW moved fora Rule to shew cause why Bonniitg and - - Curwen 'should not pay to a Mr. Cureton £9SI. being the sum which he had ad vanced them for carrying on-an action against a Mr. Tunstall, but which they had not pro:•ecuted. He' said Bowling was a pretended Attorney at Chatham, procuring business fo r , Mr. Curwen, who was *At torney in town, aria lidding the matey Ifetilien them. In this case there had been no bill delivereskra Cureton by these partners, and by whom nothing was done, although they had received this money as ror costs. This motion would call upon -thou to bring in their bill of costs, if any such they h a d• to make tint.. Rule granted—But this being onlyan otiffrespik statement, no judgment i Can rightly be formed on it until-cause be shewn against they*. JUNE IC —PORTUGUESE COUMISS/ONERS 11.'1111. LYN% Mr. GARanw, who had on a former day obtained a Rule to shew cause why a criminal information dsould not be filed against Mr. Lyne fora supposed libel, in having severely reprobated the conduct of the parsons nominated agents for the care and manage pent of the unclaimed Portuguese property detained is this country, stated that he wished his Rule might! be discharged. Mr. Lyne having filed long afildit its in answer; and 'as he. felt he could not support Rule, he was desirous of saving the. time of. the Court, and the Rule was discharged accordingly, ?HZ taw v. VALENTINE JONES, EsQ, The AiToariev-Gonnti.u. moved, he judg me n t of Coutt 011 -tAe . clefigOin.4)Wha. 4.4 *rt orpuyActed of great peculation as Commissary in the Wes t In-' dies, in the year 1796 Lord ELLMWBOROUGU reported . the whole of the t: :a:, which took place before Aim at the last Sittings. in Westminster-Han. It was an hAdtrilent, stating, that the defendant was appOinted, in the year 1795, Commissary-General to the King's forces in the Lee ward Islands, which was an office of great trust and confidence, the duties of which consisted in providing vessels for the carriage of his Majesty's troops, and to provide them with stores and other necessaries, and to perform all the, duties of the office of a Commis sary-General, for which a reasonable salary (X 5 a day) was payable and paid to him, upon express con dition, that neither he., nor any person under him (all of whom also had stated salaries), should, under any pretence whatever, make any profit,. or derive any emolument whatever, besides the said salary. That', notwithstanding this engagement, he, the defendant, did enter into a corrupt agreement to defraud the King, and to make certain profits to himself in the course of the execution of that office, and for that purpose conspired with a person of the name of Hiir gins ; that be Higgins, was to supply the stores which should be wanted tor the troops in the West Indies, upon which Higgins was allowed to charge 30 per Cent. profit, on condition that a moiety of such profit should be allowed to the defendant ; which profit (upon goods supplied to the amount of about one million, in the course of ten months) amounted, to the defendant's own share, to £153,273 currenoy, being £87,179 sterling, that being a moiety of the whole fraud upon Government ; the other moiety being divided between Higgins and 'one Hugh Rose (then Deputy-Paymaster there), who negotiated this scheme between Higgins and the Defendant. 'rills was the substance of the charge against the Defen dant, although the indictment stated it various ways in different counts. The Defendant's commission, dated sth October, 1795, was clear in its expression, that he was on no account whatever, nor under any pretence whatever, to make to himself any profit or emolument whatever, beyond his £5 per day ; 21. of which he received fronytho Lords of the Treasury, and it 3 from the War-office. But to impress the matter still more forcibly on the defendant, that he must be content with his salary alone, a letter was sent to him from the Right Honourable George Rose, the Secretary to the Treasury, of which the follow ing is an extract— `• It fs materialtobe distinctly understood by yon,andby every person in your depai anent, that if any shall be found to have pro fired in tiny manner, directly or indirectly, other than by the manner specified in the strict injunction•hereby communicated to you, immediate dismission will be the consequence, without the possibility of the party being employed again in any public situation." Notwithstanding which, the defendant had entered into this corrupt bargain with Higgins, by which, in the course of only ten months, the public had been defrauded to the amount of 306,54.61. currency, being 164,3581. sterling; of which a moiety, being 153,273 L currency, being 87,1791. sterling, went into the pocket . of this defendant outof the public purse. The facts being clear from the entries in the books of Higgins, who supplied the goods, upon which 301 per cm. profit was charged for the purpose of di viding it—thus, a moiety to the defendant, and the other - moiety between Higgins and Mr. Hugh Rose, Deputy Paymaster, who negociated the bargain.— There being no better answer to this case, than that the defendant had a previously good character, the Jury found him Guilty ; and now he came to receive the judgment of the Court. Mr. DALLAS addressed the Court for the defeistiant, in mitigation of punishment ; several affidavits were presented, made by physicians, whose opinion it was, that such was the state of the. defendant's health, that -a close damp place of residence, where there was not free air, would endanger his life. The ATTORNEY GENERAL made an able speech for the Crown, calling for exemplary punishment, in this case, as a debt due to public justice, and as to retri bution, in a civil sense, he saw no reason whatever for sparing this defendant in making him refund what he might have received, or compelling him to give, up, whatever claim he might have to make upon (3o vernment. That principle. had been adopted in the case of Alexamler Davison, gs q ,-w.hi c h was . a slight case in comparison with the present. ClucarlosTicie,--..“ Let the clefendapt, be committed to the .custody of the Marshal of this Court, and brought%up to receive the judgment of the Court' on - Monday next." WEDGEWOOID . V. THE PRINCE STAIIREMBERG. A Gentleman at the Bar, whose name we did not learn t moved for leave to enter up judgment upon an old warrant of attorney in this case. The defendant was sworn to be alive on the sth of the present month, being within the term. CHIEF Jusriee—" You may enter up your judg :rnent, but you are aware, *at from:the situation of the defendant, you can have no execution upon it, the defendant being an Amlaassacor." ." Yes, I. am aware of that, my Lord."—M4 on granted. Another stood in a similar situation, and the Court made the same order in it. . COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE e.. 1 SEIM:CTION.—.-BARNETT V. JACOB. The plaintiir is a silversmith in the parish.of,St., IPaul, Shadwat, and the action was brought agaifitt, the defendant, to recover damages for the eduction' of his daughter, in consequence of which he had been deprived of her services. Mr. S.-2rjeani: SIIEPkiEFID stated the case, which was detaiicd by the following evidence. Miss Sarah Barnett, the plaintiff's daughter, (a yo wng woman of interesting appearance) deposed that the. defendant was an apprentice to her father. He , was about twenty-two, and she was fourteen when he first paid attention to her as a lower. She thought his intention was-honourable, but in the end•she wail 'deceived. About three months b'efore Christmas, 1807, she consented to a criminal intimacy. The • defendant promised ' her marriage at the time he ef-• fected his purpose. : He left her father a short time After her indiscretion, and•went to live in the neigh bourhood of Slradwell: IM May 1/ . 308; she was inti mate with him a seioratime, andinvved with child. She then requested him to keep his promise of mar riage, supposing he was single,. but it appeared he had been secretly. 'married to . another. Her father supported -her cluiing the whole rime of her acceuche . On betthross-examination she stated that -the defendant went to her bed-room where he first se \duced b et , w hil e t h e servant, who slept i n t h e samel rooß4 was at work in the kitchen. Her father and i mother slept on the Boor underneath, and she called ' 1 1 9 0 1010,10 wit. The defendant at tin.- same i 0 time ecimpellect her to as — bilk to it4n, and told her' that if she continued to make a noise, she would only expose herself and hi m. sotwithstanding her screams on the occasion, the fathily was not alarmed, anti her connection with the defendant was not discovered until she was with child. 'She repeated her intimacy with ithe defendant about a fortnight before Whitsuntide 1808. She went to walk with her niece, a child of two years old, in a rope-walk near the defendant's garden at Shadwell, it was between eight and nine in the evening. The defendant pulled her into his garden, shut the, gate, and conducted her to a sum mer-house. B. Solomon!, one of the plaintiff's rel Pions, de posed, that the defendant had said to him, when Sarah Barnett was pregnant, " The child is mine," and Offered 501. if the witness would marry her, which he refused, being a married' man. A female, who had resided many years in the same neighbourhood as the plaintiff, gave Mi's Barnett a good'character for decent behaviour, previous to her connection with the, d'efenda'nt. A surgeon also proved the expence of the lying in. Mr. Serjeant Bas-r, who did not call any witnesses for the defendant, contended that the Jury could not credit the improbable story told by the plaintiff's daughter, and consequently that it was not a case that required more than nominal damages. After an excellent chayge. one ~In.!;iEsMA'vs:. FITI.D, the Jury deliberated gne.liottr,..aiiA verdict for the Plaintiff`—bages . l4'lo. JUNE 14--SQUIRE v. WOOD. In this case, Mr. Serjeant LENS moved the Court for a Rule to shew cause why the plaintiff slioald not be at liberty to inspect the accounts of an el&emo synary corporation, instituted for the purpose of af fording relief to the poor of Norfolk and Suffolk. The plaintiff had advanced money towards _re plenishing the funds of the Corporation, and havins K brought an action to recover the same, he was non, suited, from a deficiency of evidence to maintain his suit, which evidence, it was afledged, was to be found in the accounts of the Corporation. ' The Court was of opinion, that this application, being unprecedented, the rule ought to he refused. Sir JAMES MANSFIELD, however, recommended his Learned Brother to examine the charter by which the institution was incorporated, in order to find out if there was not some clause authorizing such a iwoceed ing as that sought to be obtained bythe plaintiff.. At the same time, he urged the necessity' of searching for some precedents for such a stretch of the power of the Court.—Rule refused. . COCKPIT, WHITEHALL, JUNE 1. • Before the Most Noble and Right Ikon. the Lords Commissioners of Appeals in Prize Causes : Ootton Planter, Gardner master.--This vessel, under American colour, laden with beef, bound from Monte Video to the Havannah, was captured by the Latona, and carried to An tigua, where the ship and cargo were eundenmeil. On the part of the captors it was contended, that going to the Harannah was in breach of his Majesty's instructions; on behalf of the. claimants that it was not the original intention of the milers to go to the Havannah ; but to proceed first to the Hand of St. Thonigs's, f, r the purpose of inquiry whether she might proceed, and that, there fore, the destination must be cons . ..fiend as contingent.
