I LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF RING'S BENCH, NOV, y. CILN3 AND FORANIT D. P 11101113) &C. COVNTAT DADA ERE; . Mr. Gaitiow moved for a Role to fet afide the verdia in this cafe. It was an action brought to re. over the fum of t 8,0001. and was one of great im par Lance to the commercial world, and alfo of great eonfequence to country bankers. The Defendants were the aflignees of Dickinf'n and Co. perfons who carried on the bufinefs of bankers in Birmingham,and they were entitled to the fum for which they had taken their verdiel, provided certain hills of exchange, paid into their bank, were to be confidered as the of the Plaintiffs, and not of the bankers.— Cafe depended upon the manner in which the 'aei. between the Plaintiffs and the bankers was carried on; and it is extremely different from the manner in which it is carried on in London. To point out !hat difference, he Should contrail the two -nodes of tarrying on bufinefs. If bills, which are tut yet due, were paid in by a cuflomer to a banker in London, the London banker writ's it fhort in his book, and dyes not carry it to the credit of his cult°. r er, until thefe bills be paid ; not fo with the country hanke-s, fuch as thole now concerned in the prefent They had always dealt in this manner : when a cuftomer came ro their counter, and made a payment of calb or undue paper, it was deemed a payment made to his credit. The banker exercifed Lis Judgment as to light gold or bad notes, and the validity of the bills, and for what be kept he gave credit to his cuftomer immediately, uniting the whole Sato one grofs firm, and confidering the undue paper as cafh. If a cutlomer upon fuch an (Ideation wanted a remittance upon London, the Banker would give him a bill on London ; or if bt wants' a large fum in call, equivalent to the amount of the fecusities he thus paid, the Banker would give it him, nr would fuffer his cutlomer to draw to the full extent of the amount fa paid, although the bills remained undue for a crinfiderable length of time. The Banker con. fidered fuch bills as his own, and made ufe of them to terve his own purpofes ; and in many in9ances, in order to rave the expence of Ramps, he adually gave away the undue paper, in payments to other cuflomers, tiling a bill of exchange not due, a gui-1 nea, or a Bank of EnglAnd,ruite r equally as his own property. The three notes whickeonilituted the fub je& of the prefent cafe, were not - yet_ due, and there fore the Plaii.tiffs then it:filled that this was money oftheirs which they had a right to take from the Banker, becaufe, if the bankruptcy bad not taken place, they were not entitled to fpecie. This matter was tried at Goildhill, and the Jury, uoi , ing in opinion with the Judge, formed their judgment upon the London practice, because all thefe bills were in dorfej when put into the banker's hands. This, how- ever, mull necefEtrily be fo. In London, bills me Laid in a (late of negriciation ; lint, notwithstanding !heir having an indot lenient, a London banker would not pine ciedit to his cuftomer for a fingle Shilling. Be (the Comae!) was in a State to produce evidence that country bankers conlidered thete as a grcfs pay ment, and that she parties charged interett both ways. —This was not like a cafe where a bill was paid in • agsinft another bill. Lord ELLE N BOROUGH—" The Jury had a Wong opinion that every perfon who pays bills into the ' hands of a Banker, pays them to an Agent, to re• ceive money for them ; and, in cafe they give credit for thefe bills, they will have fuit againtt that party, by means of an iodorfement ; thefe bills, therefore, remain as a dry depofit." Mr. GARROW" I certainly could prove, that the aniverfal courfe of bufinefs purfued between thefe cuflomers and their bankers, was to pay in a grofs Gm, and to have an immediate credit to that amount. They rely tip .n this as calif." Lord Ets&E NBOROVGH" It is certain that they might have advanced money upon thefe bills, but it does not appear that they have done fo t and, there. fore, they come to be nothing more than a mere fe. curity in the hands of the Banker." Mr. Gaittow—" My Lord, I (hail fuppofe this cafe r If A. B. has fent in to his London Banker's, C. D., paper to the amount of moo!. while his call account only allows him to draw for zool. a clerk of the banker would anfwer hisdrafts only to the amount of that zoo!. If the bankers lent their customer a larger film of money, it was quite a dif f erent thing, and totally independent of his call account. On the Contrary, the Birmingham Banker, the moment his tuflamer has paid him in bills, gives that cutlomer authority to drow to the full amount thereof." Lard ELLEN/M(00 Gre —" It appears that the Lon don Banker has a fitn on that paper, but he has not an immediate !bit upon it. The brain One cafe and the right of firit in the other, appear to he the fame thing in the event of their being over-drawn." hlr. Gaasow— , . In the cafe of Bent v. Fuller, in ; Term Kt-pots, 494, the quellion feemed to have turned upon a payment made upon a fpecific ac taunt, and wtnt to raife a general credit from the Mann it was paid in." Mr. Juflice Butt R was of opinion, that the bills were paid in upon a general running account. — Rule !elided. 'Mg REV. ROB. TOWNSHEND V. PACE WADDENSWORD. _ . This caufc was 'lied before the CHIEF BARON, at i the loft Gluuceler Affizes, and a verdiet was found fur the Plaintiff in the fum of 301. Mr. Serjeant WILLIAMS raid, that this was an ae• Lion upon csfe for which he moved a new trial. in eider that the queftion might be completely un derliond, ire would beg leave to nate the fubflance of the deciai atiOn, which confined of two counts : the fitit Need, that the Defendant,-intending to catch, wound, and deNrny the Plaintiff's dogs, fet divers engines, traps, and fnarer,• in a wood called Cats' Alio( d, and lieewife near the footway, and upon the adjoining lands ; and placed pieces of meat, flefh, had other &long fmelling things, in the enginesoraps, thatch &c. for the fpace of ten days ; by reafon of which three dogs of the Plaintiff then and there law ful!) paging and repafGng in the faid wood called Cats' Wood, along the pathway leading through it, and three other dogs of the Plaintiff in the lands 'if other perfons, and alfo three ether dog's in the lands of the Plaintiff were, by the ft•ent of the faid meat, &c. enticed and allured from the lawful highways and other lands and grounds, to the laid engines, trap, and !bares, and were thereby caught. The fecend count did not vary from the &it in any ma. serial particular. The Learned Serjeant faid, that in his whole pi &dice he never hoard of 4 cafe of fo brat a nature it the prefent. ft appeared in evidence at the trial, that the Defendant was owner of the wood, called Cats' Wood, and that he ;had employed a blackfmith to make him vaiions faun traps to citch weazels and other vermin, and likewife to contingt fome traps, of larger dimedions, to de (troy foxes, badgers, &c. and that, 'unluckily, the Plaintiff's dogs were caught in them by irefpatling into the wood of the Defendant ; but it did not ap pear that the Defendant had any malicious intentions againft the dogs of the Plaintiff ; and on the firft night, when the Gamckeeper fct the traps, two bad gers were caught. Mr. Juftice GROS Was there any evidence that the meat was drawn acrufs the lawful pathway through the wood, to as to allure the dogs ?" Mr. Serjeant WI LIA M S —g.

The Learned Counfel cited, in fupport of his pofition, the cafes of Disfh v. Lind Weymouth (Cowper 665), Drury v Twits (4 T. R. 560), Smith v.

SARIN' AND OTHERS V. BOSWELL. Mr. GURNEY Paid, that this had been an anion brought by the Allignees of a Bankrupt againli a Judgment Creditor ; and the objed of the plaintiff: was, to thew an ad of bankruptcy committed prc vionfly to the defendant's having fued out execution againd the goods of the Bankrupt. I'n prove they produced a boy named William Murphy, who deputed to a denial of his mailer to a perfon named Symonds, on the t6;ii of June, long before the date of the defendant's execution. When he was quef tinned as to the circunAlance of his recolletiori, be laid that his mother had been that day brought to bed of a tine boy, and the verdiEl went, of entitle, in favour of the plaintiff. Upon fubfequent examination it appeared, that the account of the boy-was wholly falfe, as his mother had lain in nearly four months before the 16til of June. Upon this ground the Learned Counfel moved for a new trial.—Rule to thew cattle granted. ROBINSON (qyt TAM) V. G. GARTHWAITR. This caufe had been tried before Mr. Nike Cita/ma, at York, when a verdk was found for the Plaintiff, fubjeft to the opinion of the Court. Mr. PARK moved fora rule to thew Cade why a noltfuit fhould not be entered. Ihe Plaintiff and Defendant were both Officers of the fecond Surrey Militia, quartered at Kinglion upon Hull. The Defendant had formerly held the rank of Lieutenant, but bad recently been promoted to the command ,of a company, and the declaration in the caufe Hated that the Defendant, at Kingflon upon Hull, ezer cited certain powers in his regiment which he was not authorifed to perform b.y the Militia Ails, fuch as holding Courts Martial, &c. By the (Witte of the 42d Gen. 11. c. 6, it was direfted that na perton tivaild be app Muted Captain of Militia, unlefs he p4reffed, in his own right, an ettate of the yearly value of 2001. or was heir at law to an elate of the value of 4.001. or was a younger fon of a perfon hay. ing an inhetirage of the value of 63.31. ; and by the ath fation of that Ait, it was required that no per fon fhould be appointed to a higher rank than Lieu tenant, or• fhould perform his duties as a Captain, until he had delivered in to the Clerk of the Pr., , ce a td fcripticn in va hing, of his qualification, dating tie county and parifh where the elate was fi:uated, by which he was qualified. In this cafe, the Le.irned Counfel laid, that the Defendant had, as was diiec. ted lsy the liatute, fent in a dcfcription of the ' mentioning the county of Cornwall, but omitting to infers the name of the parifh. This circumstance the Plaintiff immediately caught at ; and although the Defendant fent direely to ctmreet the error, yet the Plaintiff commenced this Nit to rec,,ver the penalty of [col.

Yeiterday Henry Malone, a Teller 4 the Bank of Ireland, was tried for defrauding the'Governor and Company of that Bank of divers bank notes f amounting to 52oo1.—The trial occupied the alien. tion of the Court until half pall three o'clock this evening, IA hen a verdiCt of—Not Guilty, was returned by the Jury. Mrs. Krogh, of the Ulfler Hotel, was capitally in. difled on a charge of robbing Mr. Medlicott, a blind and aged gen Leman, who lodged at her houfe, of bank notes to the amount of 110. and upwards.— The circumflances rf this cafe were rather of a novel' and fingular defcription :—Mr. Medlicott, who is a country gentleman, had 'been in town on the day Dated in the indiftment, and had drawn from the Bank the fum already mentioned in bank notes, molt of which were for a large amount. It appeared up on evidence, that the perfon attending Mr. Medlicott had cked his door, and had taken charge of the key ;that after his matter had retired, he was treated with wine and water by the hollefs. Next day the notes wore gone, and the prifoner at the bar was proved to have attempted negociating one of them of 401. at a filverfmith's in Skinner Row. The note was proved by an officer of the Bank. There being no dire& evidsnce to convict, Mrs. Keogh was—Ac quitted.
