LAW INTELLIGENCE. w ~~ COURT OF KING'S BENCH, May 24. usit.ttoa O. ROSS. DZYKAN stated the case. It was an action brought by Mr. Grillion, the. proprietor of an hotel in Albemat le street, against Captain Ross, well known in the sporting world as a first-rate shot, for the sum of 251. 10s . . being tbe amount of a bill furnished for a dinner ordered on the Ilth of June last. A. fei days before the 17th of June last the defendant called at the plaintiff's hotel, and gave orders to the waiter to prepare a dinner for ten Gentlemen, to be laid out in the large drawing room, and to have turtle—and so particular was the defendant respecting this latter delicacy, that he re quired an express agreement that, in case more Gentle men came, that turtle might be prepared ready, which the waiter assured him would be the case, as they could always borrow some from a neighbouring hotel keeper. —Ott the 17th 'of June, however, in the place of ten Gentlemen, only four made their appearance; and ac cordingly some time after, the plaintiff furnished his bill, including turtle as if for ten, which latter charge the defendant objected to pay, alleging that he had a distinct understanding with the waiter at the time he ordered the dinner, that he was only to pay for so much turtle as might be used. The Learned Counsel ex pressed considerable surprise that a Gentleman of Capt. Ross's respectability could think of resisting such a charge, which was notorious to every Gentleman was customary, and considering the reasonable sum required at hotels on the same tooting with the plaintiff's. He, therefore, would not unnecessarily delay the time of the Court, but produce witnesses who would prove that fact. George Hemmings proved he was head waiter at me plaintiff's hotel in the month of June last—Capt. Ross called about the 15th of that month, and ordered a dinner to be prepared in the great drawing room, for ten Gentlemen, at one guinea per head for dinner, half' a guinea for turtle, and five shillings for dessert ; and it they had punch k would be an additional charge of five shillings. Me.Thom'as Ellis, proprietor of an hotel in S. James's street, saw the charges made in the plaintiff's bill, and considered them reasonable. • Sit J. SOARLETT for the defendant, said he should be suiry to defend an action of this sort it he did not con- Sider that Captain Ross was justified in resisting a de. *and which appeared to him nothing less than a gross Mr. DaNMAN in reply observed, that however honour able Captain Ross might be, bis bare assertion would not avail, in a Court of Justice, against the oath of another. Verdict for the plaintiff... Manages, 31. Ss. CARLEWIS V. ARNOLD. Mr. CAMPBELL with whom was Mr. ARCHBOLD)— ilie present action was brought to recover a stint of 1331. 15s. 3d. from the defendant, for goods sold and alhlivered to him by the plaintiff, a respectable tailor, titiying on business in Pall-Mall. The defendant was Oentleman who intended to qualify himself for the profession of the law at Gray's Inn; but prior to that had resolved to take the sports of the coun try, and established himself at Marpoint, Li:enough, in the vicinity of a celebrated hunt. He employed the plaintiff as a tailor, and had ordered the articles mentioned in the bill, which were all . fur nished to him by the plaintiff ; . and he would prove that ...thc:ilf nig!: were reasonable. The defendant had paid . 'IM. into Court; but when he should have acquired some more knowledge of the law, he would be aware. that it ss as not . sufficient to pay a smaller sum into Courtin satisfaction of a greater. The defendant Isar( been dealing with the plaintiff horn the 'ear 1824, till January, 1828 ; for such a spate of time the supply was by no means extravagant, and as for the charges, they were theplaintiff's 'usual prices. He understood thar it *as intended to set Op the minority of the defendant in opposition to this demand; but in the fist place, the articles were necessary; and in the next place. the de fendant had promised to pay after he came of age. He himself had examined the account, and had expressed hiniself perfectly satisfied with it. He would proceed tocallhis witnesses, and looked to the Jury with con fidence for a verdict to the hill amount of his demand. 4- Rnbett Ifeeple—lVas plaintiff's Nieman ; plaintiff is klailtri is Pall-mill; and .

Charles Woodcock, solicitor to the trustees, stated, that the defendant had nothing hitt two or three stares in the Grand Junction Canal ComPany ; he had a re version of 3801. a year. Mr. Casereett contended that no answer had been gliet to the action. The articles were not unsuitable to the defendant's degree', and at all events he promised to pay after he became of age. There was no blaare to be attached to Mr. Carlewis. Lord TaNTERDEN—The Jury had the best evidence of the time of the defendant's birth from his mother; he would not have received the register of baptism as cii dence of the time of birth,for though the clergyman often did insert the day of the birth, he had no authority to do so. It was clear that the defendant was a minor during all the time when these articles were furnished, except a very few of them, and that this case was d e serving o f their most serious attention. When adults entered upon an extravagant and unsuitable course of expenditure, the la* left them to suffer for their oWn folly ; but that law threw a protection round minors, and upon the Iprinciple of preventing others from takirg advantage tif their simplieitt, rendered them responsible only for such things as were necessary and suitable to their situa tion, It was for the Jury to say whether such articles as appeared in the bill were necessary for the defend ant, or suited to his situation as an attorney's clerk, which the plaintiff knew him to be. Here, in the Course of eighteen months, were three great coats, one of which, with extra pearl buttons, was charged at 101.173.6 d. and besides these, there were nice other coats within the same period, besides an expensive shooting dress. He did not mean to say that the articles were overcharged, for in the neighbourhood where the plain tiff resided, the prices ms4ht be very common ; but the quesiion was, %%heater such expensive articles, and in such profusion. were suitable to the defendant. situa tion, which was known to the plaintiff? It appeared that the defendant had a reversion of three hundred and eighty pounds a year on the death of his mother, but hid 'next to nothitig in the tne4ntime, except. what his friends allowed him. As to the defendant a ipromis'ng to pay when he became of site, that was after the action was brought; amid he had noticed that fact When it was spoken to, he would not have suffered the w evidence of a promise to piy to be given at all. Toe .Jury woulS consider whether the sum of 1331. 15s. 3d. was that which ought to be paid, or whether the 751. paid into Coup, or some other sem less than the whole `demand. might not be sufficient. The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and then found a verdict for the plaintiff, allowing him 151.• more than had been paid into Court, or 901. in all. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY £4. COTTON V.

The declaration . contained seven towns, charging the v lie of the dot . lendant, with having spoken certain slanderous words of and concerning the plaintiff.
