LAW INTL* IGENCE• COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 15. ROSE V. BRYANT. ppeisro, for the plaintiff, stated this to be an a bond debt dated in the year 1785, for the I of .€5OO to be void, on paymentol.£26o and me year after date. The defendant, Mr. Bryant, an attorney, was the ohliger in this the obligee was Mr. Richard Rose deceas tom the plaintiffs were the executors. The up by the defendant were, first, that it was pond; second, that it was paid when it be ; and thirdly, that it was paid at some pe , it was due. The trial had tbrmerly been ,tt, on an affidavit, stating the absence of a Noble .arl, who, it was then alledged, was a material wit ness to prove the payment of the b-prid. The Learn ed Counsel did not now observe that Noble Earl in Court, from which he presumed that, this defence would not now be insisted in. The execution of the bond was proved, and the in dorsements on it in the hand writing of the defen dant himself, shewcd that the interest had been paid up to the year 1793, carrying the bond within the period at which the presumption of its being satisfied is to be inferred. To meet any inference deducible from the circumstance of no interest having been since paid, a witness was also adduced to shew, that the defendant had, during the greater period of the time, from the year 1793, to this day, been within the Rules of the King's Bench, or Fleet prisons. Mr. GARROW, for the defendant, did not wish to throw out injurious reflections against any of the persons who had taken on themselves the manage ment of the defendant's affairs. lie did not see any necessity, however, which could call on the plaintiff in this case to inquire into the defendant's situation in life, as if he had been so obscure a man that it was net known he was an attorney ; or as if he had lived within the rules of the Fleet for the purposes of im posture. On the contrary, the Learned Counsel was in,structed from his brief to state, that at the time of the defendant's affairs becoming embarrassed, he was a man of very considerable landed property, and that those to whom his affairs were entrusted had sold one estate which cost him £30,000 for £13,000. He re gretted, indeed, the absence this day of the Noble I Earl ( Romney) who had net yet returned from Scotland, though he had been expected to lie present at this trial. 3y documents in that Noble Lord's possession, will had condescended to become one of the defendant's trustees, he should have been able ,satisfactorily to establish the defence he was instruc ted to make ; and even in the Noble Earl's absence, be trusted he should be able to establish it beyond a doubt. He should adduce a Gentleman to prove, not from his own recollection, but from a reference to his banker's book, the payment to the testator, Mr. Rose, of a sum, on Mr.- Bryant's account, ex actly corresponding with the sum in the bond in question. This again he should corroborate, by an entry in a schedule to the defendant's trust deed, con taining various sums paid on his account by the same gentleman, in which this very sum is takien credit for, as p lid on the defendant's account. The Counsel for the plaintiff' had been at pains to represent the de fendant as a ruined man ; but, unquestionably, if any thing could be wanting to complete the ruin of a man in desperate circumtances, it was an action by executors, who, however they might fail in any claim they might bring forward, could never be subjected in payment of costs ; and against whom, if a bill of discovery were filed in a Court of Equity, it would be sufficient for them to say, that they knew nothing of the matter, and only acted in their capacity of execu tors, from the evidence which the document before them afforded. To prove the payment of the debt in question, the Learned Counsel assured the Jury that he should have to adduce a gentleman who did not feel any interest in the defendant's cause, Every syllable, therefore, that fell from him, which could at all promote the interest of the defendant, they might implicitly rely on. He trusted, however, with confi dence on their verdict. Mr. Leake, Attorney, was then adduced. On re ference to his banker's book, he found that in 1791., a draft had been passed by him to Mr. Rose, on Mr. Bryant's account, which completely corresponded with a statement of the debt in question now handed to him, as due at that date. There was also a corres ponding entry in the schedule annexed to the defen dant's trust deed, containing an enumeration of pay ments made by the witness on account of the Defen dant. There was also given in evidence a letter from Mr- Rose, the testator, to the defendant, dated in the year 1801, in which, after stating his own poverty, he re quests the defendant's assistance. Mr. TOPPING, in reply, argued strongly on the im probability of any professional man, like Mr. Leake, paying a debt secured by bond, without, at the same time, having the voucher delivered up to him. Mr. L.'s memory did not enable him to state the payment svhi, h appeared in his bank book was in extinction of the bond in question. It might have been on account of sr y other transaction between the parties ; and as to lie letter in 1601, it did not seem at all inconsistent ith the existence of the debt at that moment. Lord ELLExisonotgat was proceeding to express his opinion to the Jury, on the evidence before them, which he seemed to consider as preponderating in fa vour of die defendant, when Mr. TOPPING said, that, for the sake of trying whether some farther light might not yet be thrown on the subject, he was content to be nonsuited. The plaintiff was, accordingly—Nonsuitcd. Mr. GARROW then stated, that the defendant had originally ta'on out a rule fora Special Jury, but bad afterwards declined summoning them. The plaintiffs, though Executors, and therefore not liable in payment of costs, had themselves summoned the Jury, and nJw wished to throw the expences of it on the defen dant, who was latterly content with a Common Jury, which, but for the act of the plaintiffs, the Learned Judge would have appointed to try the case. Lord ELLENaottumu said he could not interfere. We believe the Jury were not paid. MANNING V. ROBSON. The ATTORNOV-GENERAL stated this to be an ac tion by which the plaintiff sought to recover from' the defendant the difference in value, arising on a cargo of cotton, which the plaintiff entrusted to the . defendant, to be conveyed by him in a vessel of which he was owner, from Surinam to thilicennet. disposed of by the defendant at Barbadoes for an in ferior price to that which it would have brought in Great Britain. The plaintiff employed the define dant to convey home the cotton in question, in the ! mouth of November 1802. The vessel sailed from Surinam on the Ist of December, and arrived at Barbadoes on the 16th of the same month. For what reason, the Learned Counsel could not conjec ture, the vessel remained at Barbadoes till the month of July. The island of Surinam had in the mean time been restored to the Dutch, and hostilities had again broken out. When the vessel, therefore, was about to leave Barbadoes, she was detained on suspi cion of having Dutch property on board. Part of the cargo was accordingly condemned, but the cot ton belonging to the plaintiff, and some other of the property on board, was given up. The defendant, , however, instead of proceeding with the plaintiff's I cotton to this country, as he had engaged to do, sold it in Barbadoes. The price which it there brought had been handed to the plaintiff, but this was greatly short of what it must have yielded in this country, and for the difference between the two prices the defendant was liable to the plaintiff, in consequence of the contract, by which he engaged, within a reasonable time, to convey the cotton to this country. It would be for the Jury to say, what was a reasonable time for that purpose, and the plaintiff should be at no loss to shew the difference between the two sums, after deducting all charges. Mr. GAnnow could not dispute the plaintiff's right to recover ; but his client was not to this day ac quainted with the actual amount of the difference. The matter was accordingly referred. WATSON V. SNUTLT. This was an issue directed from the Court of Chan cery to try the validity of a policy of insurance for esooo by the Albion Insurance Company, on certain stores belonging to the plaintiffs, under the firm of Gray and Co. in the Island of Trinidad. The ori ginal offer for completing the insurance was for £5OOO from 9th January. This was accepted of by the Company, to the extent of £3OOO, at 425. per Cent. It was again proposed by the plaintiff's agents, that the risks should commence on the third Febru ary, and the policy was not finally underwritten till the 11th of May, when the premium Was paid. A fire took place in the month of April, and at the time this calamity was knowd in England, the policy underwritten on account of the plaintiffs had not been delivered. On inspecting the policy it was discover ed that it carried the risk only from the day the pre mium was paid ; on which a bill in equity was filed, charging that the agreement was either from the 9th January or 3d February preceding. On this point the issue was directed. The evidence was exactly similar to that which has already been given in Chancery. It appeared, be sides, that even down to the period when the intelli gence of the fire at Trinidad had reached this coun try, the exact terms of the insurance were not com pletely adjusted. On this Lord ELLENBOROUGH turned to the Jury, and ask ed, if they could esteem this a complete and finished transaction ?—Verdict for the Defendants. cc Mr. TV action on renal sum. interest, of William • bond, and ed, of who pleas set t not his be came due ; • rind after put off, on who. MAOMOMIK) •. COXCON. This was an action brought by the owners of the brig the Young Regulus, Newcastle trader, of North Shields, against the owners of the Leo, West India man, to recover the amount of damages sustained by the former vessel, by reason of the negligence of the defendant's crew, amounting to £7O. On the part of the plaintiff it appeared, by the evi dence of M'Ardil, his Captain, that, in the month of October, 1808, lie had brought the Young Regulus to anchor off Blackwell, when the Leo passed, and cast anchor just above her, in such a situation as to give the Young Regulus a foul birth (not room to swing round with the tide). That the Leo then broke her sheer (swung round) in consequence of which her stem board bow came in contact with the Young Regulus's larboard bow, broke the bowsprit, carried away the gib-boom, displaced the cat-head, and com mitted other considerable damage. On the part of the defendants, five winesses were called, who all appeared to be watermen, unconnec ted with the parties, and merely hired to work the Leo up the River, and to her birth in the docks. From their testimony k appeared, that all the fault lay with the plaintiff's vessel and crew ; that the Leo had been properly anchored, waiting to go into the Docks, previous to the accident ; that the Young Re gulus had anchored in an improper place, with too much cable, by which means, and keeping her helm aport, she it was who broke her sheer, and drove twice : against the Leo, notwithstanding their hailing the crew to mind her helm. Lord ELLEMBOROUGII left it to the Jury to decide the question upon such evidence, observing, that in a case of such conflicting testimony he expected more evidence on the part of the plaintiff than the mere i/zse dixit of the Captain, when it might have been in hi s power to have called so many of his crew to speak to the fact. The Jury, after some deliberation, found a verdict for the defendant. Mr. PA RKE, for the plaintiff, then informed his Lordship, that the mate was dead, and the rest of the crew, being only hired for the voyage, he understood were gone abroad. COURT OF COMMON FLEAS, DEC. 16. An . action was brought by .1 Mr. Marshall, to re cover from a Mr. Smith the sum of £4 , 9, being the loss sustained by the re-sale of £912 worth of timber by auction: The defendant, it appeared, had given a bill on a respectable person for the latter sum, which the plaintiff disliking refused to accept, and the timber not being removed, was re-sold, hen the above deficiency took place. Sir JAMES MANSFIELD held, that a man had a right to refuse any bill, with ( sta hg the ground of his objection ; and the Jury, under his Lordship's direction, found for the plaintiff. In the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on Saturday Beanie:it, agaction was brought by Mr Spas, Paten. tee of the Theatre Royal, against Mr. CORNETT, Pro prietor of The Hibernian Telegraftk, for a libel that ap peared In that paper. The trial lasted the whole of the day. Several witnesses were examined. The Jury retired for about three minutes, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff—amines $4O. 1., • • BATA, DECEMBER R. Mr. METRALCOURT'S Annual Ball for his Pupils, ou.Friday 1 ist, at the Upper Rooms, gave to the amateurs of the polite art of Dancing, a gratifying treat, by exhibitins_a lively and interesting compe tition among Mr. METRALCOURT'S Pupils of various seminaries of fashionable education in Bath and its vicinity. The exertions of Mr. METRALCOURT (who max now decidedly be declared to have arrived at the very sum, of his art) to produte an excellence and improvement in his scholars, hitherto unequalled, is far beyond all praise ; and the applause bestowed by an elegant assembly. comprising upwards of one thousand ladies and gentlemen, of the first fashion and respectability, is a testimonial which must be abundantly grateful to his feelings, and. a proud tri umph that his labours have been crowned with suc cess. This Ball was principally g;ven to introduce the Young Ladies belonging to Mrs. FOURNIER'S School, of the Upper Crescent, whose rapid improve ment in dancing, since Mr. - METRALCOURT'S short attendance there, exceeds all praise, claimed the ad miration of every spectator. To discriminate might be considered invidious, and to amplify would far exceed the boundaries of eulo gium. Miss WHITE, (niece of Mrs. MACAO Miss WHEELER, Miss HAWKER, and Miss METRALCOURT, were among those who shone with superior splendour. The two youngest Misses FouliNiuts also claimed general admiration. An allemand, danced by three Young Ladies, highly delighted the audience, as also did the Shawl Dance, by Miss METRALCOIJRT, whose elegance of person and graceful movements did her the highest honour. The Ball concluded with the " Minuet de la Cour," danced in a superior style, by Mr. and Miss METRAL• COURT ; this was a finished performance ; the genius and science of the father, were if possihle, exceeded by the graceful and . charming movements of the daughter, combining a skill and elegance which ex cited universal admiration.
