LAW INTELLIGENCE. D , f i 1 ,;r ~. i • -- • COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 3. The Loan CHasicactost took his seat this morning at ten o'clock, and was occupied all day in hearing adjourned Bankrupt Petitions. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 1. Tits A,POTNIOCARIEB' COMPANY V. WARBURTON. At the last Spring Assizes for Stafford, an action was brought at the suit of the Apothecaries Com pany, against a Mr.Warburton, for an offence which he had committed, under the 55th of the King, cap. 121. That Act, which is entitled " An Act for the better regulation of persons carrying on the art and mystery of an Apothecary," after excepting from its operation all pet sons practising as Apothecaries on Or before the Ist day of August, 1815, enjoins, that any person practising as such, from and afterthat day, who shall not have served a regular apprentice ship, and passed a regular examination before, and received a regular certificate of his competency from the Wardens of the Apothecaries Company, shall be liable in certain penalties, therein specified, to be re covered in any of his Majesty's Courts of Law. The action out of which the present application to the Court originated, was brought to recover the sum of £2O, one of the penalties in the Act, of the defendant Mr.Warburton, for that he, not being an Apothecary on the Ist day of August, 1815, was practising after wards as such without having served an apprentice ship, and without having a license aad certificate. —The case was tried before Mr. Baron Garrow, and on the trial Mr. Warburton claimed. a right of following the profession which he was then exercising, from having studied physic under his father, who, though originally a gardener, had subsequently car ried on the business of a Cow-leech and a Quack Doctor. The father was examined on the trial, as to his capability of givirg his son instruction in the art of medicine, and in the course of his examination displayed such gross ignorance as is not often exhi bited in a Court of Justice. Being asked if he had always been a Surgeon ? lie at first refused to answer the question, but afterwards, on being hard pressed, rsplied, " I ant a :urgent." Being then requested to spell the word which he had just articulated, he spelt, it " syur-gunt, sur-fiend, sur-gunt, and sur-gent," but cculd not, after all his efforts, hit upon the right or thography of it. It also appeared by his ow.s con f:ssion that he had never made up any medicines from die prescriptions of a Physician, but that, though he did not understand the characters which were used is them for ounces, scruples, and drachms, he thought himself capable of making up as good medicines in his way with the hand, as a Physician could in his way w ill the scales ! It was also proved, that the' sea was totally unacquainted with the Latin language till the year 1817 ; that he was equally ignorant of the signification of the usual medical symbols as his father, and that he was equally unable at the time of commencing the present action to make up from a prescriptioh any dose that might have been ordered of him. The Learned Judge, on summing np the evidence, directed the Jury to find a verdict fb the Plaintiffs, if they were of opinion that the defendant's father bad not made up medicines for the sick from the prescriptions of Physicians previous to the Ist of August, 1815 informing them at the same time, eilat by the st h Section of the Act on_which the ac tion was founded, this was one of the qualifications which the Legislature considered essential. to the practice of an Apothecary. The defendant bad oh- tamed a Haile to theta cause why a new tiial should not -be granted, on the ground that this was a mis, direction in point of law on the part of the Learned Judge. The case came before the Court this day, when Messrs. Gow and Castrem. a were heard ..on the part of the plaintiffs in support of the verdict. and Messrs. lenvts PULLER, and Twist, in fupport of the rule .whicl; bad been granted. After they had finished their respett'ive arguments, the Court pro ceeded to give their judgment. . Lord Chief-Justice ABBOTT said, that he was of oPinion, that the direction of the Learned Judge wait perfectly correct, and that the decision of the Jury ought not to be invalidated. The point upon which the Jury on the trial were called to decide was, who. th3r the defendant's father, before August 1, 1815, had beep practising as an Apothecary ? Now any puson, before he came to a decision on that point, wculd - askfliimielf what was the mcanin? of the words, .41 pra ctising as an Apothecary ?' best way of mak ing out that meaning would be a reference to the words of the Act of Parliament. This was the very mode which the Learned Judge adopted he referred the Jury to the fifth section of the Act, wherelsz it was found, that the Legislature considered the mixing up of medicines from prescriptipns to be. an essential part of the practice of an Apothecary. This being,alie sense of the Act of Parliament, it became the duty of the Jury to decide, whether the. defendant's father had done this. Now, it appeared from the evidence, that he was incapable of doing it ; and, therefore, it followed, as a natural inference,. that be did. not 'practise what the Legislature intended. There was no.question left here to the Jury as to the degree of skill which he possessed ; his want of skill was decidedly' shewn to make up any physician's pre- . scription. It appeared, that he could not read the language in which these prescriptions were written: and'amt, even if the language had been translated to him, he could not have made out the number of grains 'and scruples of which they were to be com posed. On these grounds, be was of opinion that no new trial should be granted. Mr. Justice liav Ley said, that the intention of this Act mkt to prevent improper persons, who were not practising before the Ist of August, 1815, from prat uszng in future an art which they did not understand. Ile thought that the mere act of mixing up medicines would : not terse to thew that the father was prac tising as an Apothecary: those words certainly had a meaning, and that meaning was to be cellected from the language used by the Legislature. The Learned Judge who tried the cause had told the Jury so to collect it : they were not a tribunal formed to try his skill; they had to determine, whether the de fendant's father had or had not been performing what isidered the duty of an Apothecary? It deed, that the defendant had been prac father's steps, who had called himself a -a horse-doctor, and a general doctor! have administered - medicines to those to them, but was that all which the Legit 'tired nccetsary to constitute an dpodia eery ? By no means. Indeed, to the other titles which the Doctor had imposed upon himself, he .blight add: theSitle Of: sa•Jodor, •if any pitied, Aiwa the woful exposure which hail been made of his ig norance, should go to him again, either for counsel or physic. He fully coincided with' the . opinion'ex premed by the Lord Chief-Justice. Mr. Justice HOLHOYD and Mr. Justice BUT 2¢ seated to the opinions expressed by-their learned broi• then ; and the rule was accordingly ordered to be discharged. SEBJEANT'S INN HALL, NOVEMBER 2. 1 7112 ZING 0. POTNIL. The defendant had been indicted at the Kent A. slam for refusing to discharge the office of Constable: —At the-trial he claimed exemption from liability , to serve the said office, by reason of a place held under the Crown. He did not produce his patent, and a verdict was taken for the Crown, subject tef the opinion of the Judges. • On this occasion, when the question came to be argued, the Court was convinced of the justice of , the claim to exemption, and without going again into the case, judgment was given for the defendant. THE KING O. THE INHABITANTS OF CROFT. The Court was called upon to decide, whether an order made by the Quarter Sessions for the removal of a Pauper from Stoney Stratford to Croft ought to be quashed? It appeared that the pauper's father had grazed his cattle in the field of a person at Croft; and, not withstanding there was no positive proof of a con tract for occupation of premises, as required by the Statute, the Magistlates concluded that a contrast had existed, from the circumstances, and that the pauper belonged to Croft. • The COURT, after hearing the arguments, decided that the Sessions had drawn a proper inference, and that the order of removal ought to be affirmed. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. Tuesday Thomas Wikiish, aged 25, was put to the bur, on an indictment charging . him with having' forged, and uttered as true, a certain document, pur porting to be a note for £io, on the Dover Bank, on, Saturday, the 28th of August last, to a Mr. Ander son, of No. 25, Holborn, with intent to defraud John Miner Fector. The prisoner was also•char§ed on other indictments, with forging and putting away, notes to the same amount, and purperting to be (drawn on the same Bank. The facts of.the• cue' have already been fully laid before the Public.. Mr. K. Bisson, haberdasher, of Oxford-street; VW Robert Essex, jeweller, of the Strand; and Alr.Ciraigi of Oxford•street, proved the prisoner to have passed forgeries forgeries also to them. The case was fully istalb lished:—The prisoner called two persons to speak tot his character.—Guilty—Death. The Counsel for the prosecution forbore going into the other indictments. Ann Trecon was put to the bar, on an indictment charging her with stealing a watch, and a Rocket book, containing a1.:5 note . and five £1 notes, from the person of Henry Hoffman, a seaman, in Ratcliffe Highway, on the 10th of October. The prosecutor appeared with his arm in a sling, having been so brutally used by two men who were in company with the prisoner, that be had lost the use of it, and had been.confined in the Hospital up to the present time. One of the- desperadoes had been indicted with the prisoner, but he was not yet in custody. The unfor tunate prosecutor .had had his head.cut open, his collar-bone broken, his ribs dreadfully bruised, and his arm injured.—Guilty of stealing from theperson, but not violently. . Barnet Deans was put to the bar, on an indictment charging him with having, on - the 12th of Septem ber, intermarried with Mary Ann .Lox, spinster, his former wife, Eleanor Morgan,.being. then living. The fact of the first marriage was proved by the Parish Clerk of St. George's, Bloomsbury, Elizabeth Conuor proved witnessing the ceremony of the first marriage, and signing her name in the register. She had heard Mrs. Morgan My she was ;a N./Wow, and that she had lost her husband at sec The CQMNION SERJiANT here interfered: the first wife was described in the indictment as a spinstet, when, in fact, the witness said she. had known her, and that she was a widow. This objection was fatal, as Eleanor Morgan was not present, nor any perm , who could state that she was a spinster.—Theini. ;sorer was acquitted. • Catherine Harris was put to the bar, on an indict ment charging her capitally with stealing, on the. 27th of October, in the house of Mr. George Smith, of Leicester-square, a watch, value 5, and a scarf, value 15s. the property of Miss Caroline Not Guilty. Richard Jennings was indicted for feloniously utter ing an instrumeet, purporting. to be Bank of England note, to a Mr. West, with intentlo defraud the Governor and Compairy.of the bush of England. *-4C9t Guilty. • • Yesterday,. John Russell, aged 19, was charged with ; stealing frvettloaen. of silver ferks,• and .othier articles, the property of Messrs. Tvimlett and.Kidden It appeared from the evidence, that in October Mr. Kidderseut five dozen silver forks, and some silver spoons, to Me. Leslie, an engraver in Ozeadonotreet, in order to have them engraved. A day or two after Mr. Leslie received thesproperty, a man called at his hoUse, am/ represented thathe had been sent by Mr. Kidder for it. An apprentice of Mr. Leslie's, named Brooks, saw the man, . and told him that the engraving was.not yet completed, but that the plate would be sent to. Mr. Kidder's that afternoon, In about two hours after, Brooks was sent by his master to carry the plate to Mr. Kidder's: as he was passing along Castle-street, Leicester-square, the same man who had called at his masters house came up to him, and asked him if he had Mr. Kidder's forks and said that he was just going for theta. Brooks, believing that he was the servant of Mr. Kidder, de livered the forks and spoons up to him. Irvine i;ftes‘ wards discovered that Mr. Kidder had never audio. rized any person to obtain from Mr. Leslie the Po which he had delivered to that gentleman. A f days , after the transaction took place, Brooks snit the prisoner at Knightsbridge, and recognized him to be the person to whom he bad given the plate; took him into custody, and the prisoner was ideatii. fled by two of .Mr. Leslie's servants, who warepw sent when he came as their master's house. • On the part of the psi, several witnesses awe called us prove an *• , but, upon their erosHinual. nation, their evidence differed m many particulate. The Jury found the primer I tiie Act app • eat con appeared; tying in his cow-doctor, Tkey might • who came to latutc concei SO?R11 7 SESSIONS. 'Manday Mr . TORTOitOade applicat ion to the 1 Court. for the discharie of the Baron de WNRCTO , from the King's Bench Prison, in which he had been confined upwards of ten years. The Baron had been formerly arrested for the sum of L 1,200, and ten yens ago he petitioned to be discharged under the Insolvent Act. One of his principal creditors, how ever, brought forward evidence to prove that 'the Baron had obtained goods under false pretences; the consequence was, the insolveni was remanded, ac cording to the Statute, which enacts, that any insol vent guilty of having obtained goods under false pre. tences shall not be liberated until he shall have been in prison ten years. Mr. Tunrox called a witness to prove that the Baron had remained in prison that term of years, and the Court expressed their opinion that the insolvent was entitled to his discharge. He seemed to rejoice at the prospect of liberty, although apparently upon the verge of 'the grave from years and debility. MAtrstos-House.—Yesterday, Brookes, Broome, Harrison, and Stewart, were again examined upon the charge of robbing the warehouse of Messrs. Longman and Co. of Paternoster-row. Mr. Carlisle, the bookseller, identified the Bill for £23, which he had given to Brookes for some copies of Todd's Johnson. Mr. Castle, clerk in a distillery, stated that he knew Broome, and had had some transactions with him, in the course of which he received Mr. Car lisle's Bill from him for wine and spirits. At the time he took the Bill, he asked who Mr. Brookes was ? in whose favour the Bill had been di awn.— Broome said, that Mr. Brookes had nothing to do with the payment of the Bill, but that he' (Brookes) had sold certain goods for him amongst the book sellers, as lie could get more for books than many others, in consequence of his, acquaintance with the trade. Thomas Potter, clerk to Mr. Brown, bookseller, stated, that he took money to Old-street-road, to take up a Bill which had been given for Todd's John son, sold by Brookes to Mr. Brown. When he took the Bill he saw Harrison, who wrote a receipt. Thomas Martin, a bookbinder, in St. Martin's-1e- Gtatid, stated, that he had been employed to bind two sets of Todd's Johnson. They were brought to him by a porter, to be bound for a Mr. Robinson.— iWitness's own boy took the order, and was told by the 'porter that they were to be bound in common tag; for Mr. Robinson, and taken to Mr. Broome, in*Clothiair, where the money was to be given to him immediately. Mr. HARMER—Was there any written direction left with the books?--I rather think there was a writ ten direction. Lon') Mmton—Have you got that direction?-4 am afraid the direction is lost. LORD .IslAvoa—Can you lay your hands_upon it ? —I fear not, because I was in great trouble at the time, and do not remember where I laid it.—EHere the witness hesitated ; but being pressed for.an ex planation, he said he had an execution in his house at the time.] Lone MAYO —Can you recollect the purport of the written direction ?—.lt was no more thaa a cora l' Iton order to bind, and I laid it aside as at no con sequence,. Loap,Mxvoa—Have you had any conversation with Stewart since the warehouse was broken open? • Witness replied in the negative; but in answer to the question whether he knew Stewart ? he replied that be did, having met him frequently at Broome's house. He also knew Harrison ' and had seen him e' at Brooms, where he likewise had seen Brookes.— Stewart and Harrison seemed to be intimately ac quainted with Broome. Mr. 11moms-I:lave you had any conversation with Mr. Huntsman as.to the mode of payment ?—I told Mr. Huntsman the same as I tell you. On his cross-examination witness said, his great trouble it the time prevented him from recollecting whether he had told Mr. Huntsman that he had re ceived' the monerat thebar or not. Mr. Hitaramt-:—Did yotailot say to Mr. Mintsman that Stewart wonld'he suspected ?--.No, I never said so to Mr. Huntsman. Mr.' Huntsman here declared that the witness had said so to him. • . Stephen Mills ' a fellow-porter of Stewart's, in the employment - of Messrs. Longman and Co. said, he saw Stewart. four months ago take an octavo book •, but, inconsequence of witness remonstrating with .him, he (Stewart) put it back again. Witness after wards saw him under saspicieus circumstances, and told his master, wlib discharged him. Mr. Ilitawyt—Had Stewart any opportunity of getting the key of the warehouse ?—Yes, his employ ment partly lying in the counting-house where the key was. Brookes here prochiced a blue bag, and said he bad evidence to prove that that was the only bag he .hltd - ever carried, and that he was not out till half post- nine o'clock on the day of the robbery. The witness bad, he said, stated the robbery-to have taken place at an early hour, and that he had a green bag. His LORDSHIP said, he did not wish to decide prematurely upon the subject, but he was of opinion that he should commit Brookes. As for Stewart, if the complainants had no objection, he should be dis charged, there appearing nothing to implicate him. Mr. HARMSR said, it was probable that evidence might be brought forviard to justify the committal of Stewart. All the prisoners were then remanded. • It was observed, in the course of the investigation, that no blame whatever was attached to the book sellers who purchased the books, Brookes having been 20 years known amongst the most respectable of them as a dealer in books. MARLBOROUGH-sTastT.---Confession af a Horrid Minder.—Thomas Woods % who was once a private i n the - 85th Regiment of not, was brought up from St. Anne's watch-house , charged, upo n his own con fession, with the m u rder of Sarah Lee, in Scotland, by stabbing her in the breast,- and afterward* throwing her into the sea. The prisoner ' from cosn panctiou of conscience, acknowledged his guilt at the George, in Princes- s t ree t, on Tuesday evening, and he gave his testimony with muck deliberation. before the Magistr ate , as follows, after stating, in an swer to a question put by Mr. raNANT, that uneasi ness of mind produce d the confession :--He had knowts the deceased iboat two years, who lived Glasgow, and he g o the Blue Ball, at Leith.
