LAW INTELLIGENCE. COLIer OF FXCHMITER, FEBRUARY st... ilt. CoRYFLILS CAllf/FW V. 14ntICING AND (mtes. The decilion in this fait was interefllng both to the Clet gy and the Farmer, as it relited to the validity of contraels refpeeting their tithes. The faits of this fingtilAr cafe appeared, that the Plaintiff, being non refl,..'ent Vicar of the parifhes of Unyledant, St. Ives, and Tnwednack. in Cornwall, did, about twenty years ago, by deed, under his hind and Peal, contralt with certain of his pat ifbioners, In behalf of the whole, to receive of them a dear yearly turn, by way of com- Poriti.p, for their tithe, during the time he (honld continue the vicar, tudefs he fhould happen to veil& on his living, or in any adjnining pari(h, in which event he was to be at liberty to diffolt the contra.% The other party (the parifhionerc), who had exe cuted the inftrument with equAl folemnity, covenant. ed thereby to pay the Vicar the rent or compofition agreed upon during that term, and had duly paid him the tame ; the Vicar had never in any manner raid ed, but infilling that the agreement was either able. lutely void in law, as being con trary to the reflrain • ing flame of Q ueen tritabett, or was revocable by himfelf at his pleafure, after certain notice, even with out refidenee, filed his bill to fet it aide, , and thus to rellore to himfelf his title to tithes in kind,which by an alteration ir. the times were confidered more beneficial to him. The Court, however, were unaMmonfly of opinion, that the Vicar had nn right to revoke the agreement during his non-ref - I dence, and that as to the avnidinee of it under the Statute, it was not com petent to him to avail himfelf of his own illegal ail to put an end to filch an . agreement, even if the 'ate Refidence Bill had not nude it obligatory between the parties, and therefOre offrniffed the Rev. Plain tiff's bolt with cofts. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. MARCH 7. SWUM MID °THINS, ASSIGWZIS OT GOTS* AND ANOTHIIt, V. DALTON, , This was an aftion againft the. dint •td. fe e ver a fain of money which had been levied,. at his fuit i and paid to him on an execution againft Coven and his partner, who were gun-carriage makers, at Rotherhithe, and the altion wat founded on a fait, that thefe bankrupts had committed an aft of bank ruptcy antecedent to the fuing ont of this execution, aad therefore this property belonged to the affignees, for the benefit of the general creditors. The fa& was clearly proved ; but it appeared that Colonel Sin clair was a pattner in the firm of this honfe, and his name not being in the commifilon of bankruptcy, it was held an illegal one, inafmuck as no joint corn million can iffue againft part of a firm of a houfe, but mud either iffue againft each individual of it, or againft them aU. The Plaintiffs were nonfuited. Two other castes were referred. STOICS V. THOMPSON. This was an anion upon a Policy of Infurance, underwritten by the defendant upon goods on board the Little George, from Quebec to Brittol, which was loft by the perils of the tea. The Policy was dated the z3d of December, 1803. The whole of this cafe was tried upon admiflions. It was admitted that the Little George belonged to Mr. George Symes, the plaintiff, and that the Policy was defied by John Price, of London, in conic. qnence of inaruitions received from the plaintiff, through Mr. Richard Price. of Liverpool. The only quefiion in the cafe was, whether the broker had dif doled all that be ought to have difclofed, at the time of making the infurance, and whether his conceal. ant of certain lath had not vitiated the Policy? It appeared that Mr. Price had made a memorandum upon the back of the letter, containing his infiruc. Lions, fignifying that he was not to make the info rance for ten days after the receipt of frefh inflruc. tilos, which fad Mr. Garrowinfiffed, had it been made known to the Underwriter, would have encreafed the premium, as it evidently (hewed that the plaintiff , was difpoced to take the ri(k upon himfelf for ten days, the probable period of the fhip's arrival, and not having arrived it threw a degree of fufpicion on the voyage, which ought note* have been concealed. The original letter, however, from the plaintiff being produced, infieading of defiring the broker to watt ten days before he made the infurance, the words were—" Do not wait more than two days before you get the Policy effeeed." This Lord ELLIMOILOUGH confidered as materi ally altering the cafe, and mght be confirued as a direlion to get the policy effeded as fpeedily as pts fible ; he, therefore, directed a verdie for the Plain tiff. Are rdie accordingly. AOINIPT IP. COUSINI AND OTHERS. This was an a6ion brought by a Captain, again( Lis owners, for freight under a charter party, and alto with a view to adjuß the flip's accounts. It appeared. that after the (hip failed the met with da-' wage, and was compelled to put into Falmouth for repairs. The repairs coming to a very large fum of money, the owners refuted to pay, and the •Captain was compelled to give a bottomry-bond to the thip builder, which bond was put in force on the (hip's arrival at Tenerife. The Court then defined the proportions as regarded the owners, who refuted ul timately to comply with the decifiott of a foreign Court. • After the caufe had proceeded at tome length, it was agreed to refer all matters in difpute to Mr. Hankey, who was to fay what was juft and neceffary to be done. COUNTY Assizss.—The Affixes for the County of Northampton began on Monday. On Wednefday morning, before blr. Jugiee CHAMBRI and a Special Jury, came on for trial an glint) of affanit, brought by Dowbiggen, Efq. againft Levi, Efq. It appeared upon evidence, that the Defendant, in contiquence of a quarrel at a horfe.race. had affatilt ed the plaitriff with much violence, and had aced his horfewhip as an offenfive weapon of attack. Mr. RIADVII, as Counfel for the Defendant, attempted to Sew that provoking language had been firft held by the Plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant Vauonau replied, upon the Defendant's cafe, and the Jury found a verdia for the Plaintiff, fool. damages.—On the Crown fide, charged on.the oath of Samuel Pelham, of Welling bnrongh, lace-merchant, Henry Spur was indiaed for fleabag from the top of the Worcefler ftage coach, a box of lace, value aool. The box which had con tained the lace was found empty, and floating .in a mill pond.; the lace was proved to bare bees fold at a diminifhed value by the prifoner, who, after a king hearing, was pronounced guilty by the jury. DUBLIN. MARCH 2. A letter from Tallow, dated Feb. 21, mentionb the following horrid murder—" LaR night, about a mile from this place, a party of villains broke into the houfe of one Duncan, a poor man, and after murdering him, hit wife, and only fan, about ten years old, plundered the hank to the amount of near 2001." An unfortunate occurrence took place on Satur day morning lafi, at Kiltymorris, in the lower parts of the county of Antrim. Information having been received that a quantity of contraband whifky was concealed there, RICHARD Day, ,an Officer of Excife, went out with a party of the Waterford Mi litia, who have been for fome time quartered at Ballymena, to feize it. Some of the mifguided pea fantry affembled for the purpofe of rercumg the li• gum, and attacked the millitary in fuck a violent manner, that they were at laft compelled to fire upon the rioters, by which one of them, name Scullion, was killed, and feveral others feverely wounded. The houfe of an indufirious and fubflantial farmer near Nine-mile-houfe, was a few nights fence burnt a sew nights to the ground, and every perfon in it, con fi fting of Lis wife and five children, ennfumed. This calamity Imre from the carelefs habit of flicking a candle againft a poll. The unfortunate owner baying re ceived a large fum of money, late on the day pre vious, in Carrick, delayed his return till morning, when on his arrival be found the fmoaking ruins of his habitatioa, and the cinders of his family. Lalt week the houfe of a farmer named Shea, near Fethard, was fet on fire by a fet of villains, who flood deliberately witneffing the conflagration, until two of the centre couples, or principals, fell in, when they imagined their infernal purpofe was effeBed, and de. camped. The poor man, however, forced a paffage 'through the thatch at the end of the cabin, and effec ted the prefervation of his family. The Munfter mail, which was difpatched from Waterford to Clonmel, on Thurfday, w.O robbed within two miles of the firfi-mentioned town, by two men, armed with Ricks, who got clear off with the booty. Another robbery of the mail (from Clonmel to Cafhel) has, we underhand, taken place, within thefe few nights'. isionday night a man of the name of Ryan was apprehended in Limerick, charged with robbing the mail. Above a thoufand pound. worth of bills and bank notes, robbed out of the Kerry mail, difpatched from Limerick the ad of January Lafl, were found on The judges, we underfland, have decided againfi Frith, found guilty of pang forged Bank of Eng. land notes, fome points in whole cafe were tiecrlfary for their confederation. The Court of King's Bench has been occupied the four GrR days of this week in the trial of a elute, before a molt refpeaable Special Jury, being the fe cind verdict obtained in it, which was to eha. blifb the legitimacy of the children of the late Mr. Cairncrofs. A variety of witnelfes were examined, and the exertions of the moll able talents at the bat brought forward Upon this occalion, which decided in the eltablithment uf the legitimacy of the children, by which they are refcued from a Rate of poverty, and placed in the enjoyment of about tool. per ann. In the Court of Exchequer, the following curious cattle, LIARIELD e. CORMOR, was tried on an a&ion of trover and convertion; brought by the Plaintiff to recover damages, laid at zol. for a parcel of gold trinkets, confining of a watch, feels, pidtwes, &c. to which the Defendant pleaded the general iffue. Mr. CURRAN Rated that his client was a lady ad vanced in years, and had been in the month of Feb ruary lag, at a dinner party with the Defendant, a pave City Trader—that after dinner the bottle go.' mg round in that moderate and graceful minuet movement, befitting the delicacy of ladies, many of whom were in company, and the cocking feafon commencing in Effex-ftreet, his clients flimulated at the Royal (port, with becoming fpirit, offered a wa ger on fighting a main in favour of the county of Dublin again ft the county of Meath ; the competi tion at the time between the Gent lemen of there counties going on with great vigour and vivacity at the Royal Cock-pit. The Defendant, like a 'true cock of the game,- verfed in all the technical forma lities of fafluonable recreation, replied to the lady's propofal of a wager in a manner very befitting a wa ger, to afcertain whether his politenefs, or his fport mg were for the moment predominant Done, Madam, (laid be), " cower you ;" drawing from his pocket a guinea and half note as a flake for the wager.—" No," rejoined the lady, I have not call; or notes about me, but here are arti cles of value, on which I'll hold five to four"—col- Idling from her venerable perfon all its golden or. naments, and depofiting them on the table. The Defendant, dazzled with the luftre of the objeds, and conceiving an inßantaneous affeaion for them, might naturally be fnppofed for a moment to forget fo tri vial a rule in fimilar cafes, as that flakes are gene rally depofited in the hands of a third perfon, to wait the event of the fubjea at iffue :—forgetting this vulgar and too common proceeding, the Defendant feized on the lady's trinkets, one of which, as the learned Ceuta, who opened the pleadings, affected had been diligently fet round with hair, and commit. ted them all to the Cafe cnftody of his pocket, from which, as appeared`, they never after emerged. To recover the property, or compenfation for its lots, was the prefent aaien. , Mrs. Balfour, of Trinity-place, at white honfe the satiable party mat, of which the Plaintiff and Defen dant comp"fed two prominent charaaers, fubftanti ated the principal part of Mr. Cut ran's Ratement— caber witneffes were brought forward to fokin the Plaintiff's cafe ; one, a lad", who profefed herfelf not of the Cyprian Sifterhood, yet knew the Plaintiff and her trinkets, the latter of which file eftimated at ten guineas. Mr. Datscot. laid the Defendant's defence on the immoral praefices and principles of all the parties conneaed in evidence with her. He appeared to ex tenuate the ad of feizing the trinkets, which, how. ever, was not proved, on the ground of confpiring to rob the Defendant of the guinea and a half note, of which he was berth in an outrageous faamble be tween the nymphs of the party and,their paramours. An evidence was adduced to (mart this Rata anent, who miffed the material pesos eihis leffon, and ftiMed to tAifJ the. obfervatioo of palpablo perjury. No so MARRIED.

The learned Judge, in charging the Jury, lamented ftrongly that a Court of Jultice thould be tubjeft to die reception of a caufe inv , lving in all its branches a feries of uniform and difgufting profligacy. All the witneffeg. his Lord(hip raid, were apparently in volved in one indifcriminate macs of cenfure and re probation ; however, a point of law (truck him re (paling the matter of wager, which induced him to recommend to the jury to find a verdift for the Dr fendant—one, which on future diforilion before a Court, would not preclude the Plaintiff from her right of recovery, if any right (he had. His Lord. (hip founded his opinion on a well-known principle, that any contra& formed upon an illegal or fraudu lent bafis, could not in law be tuftained ; and he con ceived that the gambling refulting from cock fighting however dignified by the appellation Royal, flood in the predicament he adverted to. The Plaintiff's Connie' moved that his Lordfhip would recommend to the Jury a verdi& for their cli ent, referving the point of law. To this his Lord thip objeaed, but recommended to Counfel to take a bill of exceptions againft the verdift he recommend ed in favour of the Defendant, after having noted his charge. To this the Plaintiff's Counfel, in their turn, oit jefted, through Mr. CURRAN, who raid they could not think of retorting to an expedient, involving a degree of expellee that their client could not fupport. The Jury in Come time returned a verdift in fa vour of the Plaintiff—ten guineas damages, and fix pence eons. The Judge interrogated them to know whether they founded their verdift on the law or the fad ? They replied, by their Foreman, certainly on the fad, conceiving that the Defendant had no right to pails himfelf of the Plaintiff's property until he won the wager, if any wager exifted, and that if he did poffefs himfelf of it, it was incumbent on him to return it. On Monday a joroneynan hair drsfer in Cornbill of gorrnaisdrzing celebrity, undertook to eat a &Awl offpratt for a confiderable wager.
