COURT OF XtNO' BENCH, FE& WILSON V. ALLAN. This cafe came before the Court on a motion to fet afide a writ of inquiry. The aCtion was brought for falfe imprifonment by the Plaintiff, a retail merchant at Gainiborough, againft the Defendant, 4 clothier in Lancafhire. An inhabitant of Gainf. borough, named Charles Wilton, had been in. debted to the Defendant and a writ had been taken out againft him. The4ifficer charged with the execution of the writ, Iffiagining the Plaintiff to be the perfon named in it, went to his houfe, not finding him, threatened his relations, broke open feveral doors, and behaved in a violent manner. The Plaintiff at laft, to prevent diffurbance, fur -1 rendered himfelf, and was kept in cuftody feveral hours. The officer then found that he was wrong, as this Charles Wilfon had never had any dealings with Mr. Allan whatever. He liberated him of courfe, but from, the uproar in the houfe the whole town was informed of his misfortune ; an opinion prevailed that he was bankrupt ; no one would truft him any longer, and all his creditors came in with their demands. He therefore inftituted this aCtion to recover a compenfatinn for the injury he had fuflained, and the Defendant having let judgment go by default, the Jury awarded him Sol. —On the part of the Defendant it was now urged that there damages were exceffive, and objeftions were taken as to the manner in which the trial had been condueted before the Sheriff. After very able arguments from the Bar, the Court advifed the Plaintiff to confent to the damages being paid down, and it was agreed that the verdiEt thould Rand for 301. FEBRUARY 12. SAVAGZ V. SHEPART. In a cafe wherein an Attorney had been rued for a debt, to execution, and taken under it, he fent for the plaintiff, who came to him in prifon, limed to him the mifery of his wife and children from his confinement, and he entreated that he might be enlarged, upon an undertaking to pay the whole debt and coils in three months. He was enlarged accordingly, but paid not a Shilling to the plain tiff, and at the diflance of three years he was taken in execution—upon which he moved to be dif. charged, on the ground that it was contrary to law to take a perfon in execution twice for the fame debt. This was related under the fpecial circumftances of the cafe, of the defendant being an attorney, and therefore to be fuppofed to know perfealy well what he was about, and that of his being let out for his own accommodation, and that of the cafe being extremely hard upon the plaintiff, for that if the defendant was not fet at large, the plaintiff would be without a remedy. He had contented, not only that his goods might be taken in execu tion, but his perfon alto. Mr. Juffice Gaon Paid, that the condua of this defendant, confidering that he was an attorney, and confidering the great kindnefs which had been (hewn to him, and under all the circumftances of the cafe, his condua was abfolutely fhameful and abominable, and might have a fevere effea on defendants confined for debt, by hardening their creditors again( them ; but Rill, the rule of law was inflexible in this cafe. That rule was, that no man could be taken twice in execution for the fame debt. Rules muff not be overturned for the purpofe of accommodating the circumftances of a particular cafe, and therefore this rule for the de fendant's difcharge muff be made abfolute, but without coils, becaufe the queftion of coils was within the difcretion of the Court. Rule abfolute, without coils. Till ZINO C. THZ JUSTICES OF MIDDLISEX. Mr. Juitice Gxos a raid, the Court had confider ed the arguments in this cafe, and had looked through the AIE upon which the motion for the Mandamus was founded. The refult of their con• fideration was, that they were of opinion the Man damus ought not to be granted. They were of opinion that the Bell Dock was wanted to enlarge the new intended Dock, and by the At all ground wanted for that purpofe was to be contained with in a certain boundary line, which boundary line, by name, excluded Bell Dock. They gathered this purpofe from. he affidavit of Mr. Rennie, the Engineer, notwithitanding it was alfo Rated that the ground in qneflion was wanted for a coffredars,i and a rail-way, yet 'they were of opinion that in fubilance, it was wanted to enlarge the London- Dock, and therefore, by the t R and zsth fedions of the Ad, it mat be within the boundary line.— It was true that by the si6th fedion of the fame Alt, the Company could take any convenient fpot near for making a road-way, and "for other por t*, t;" but the Court were of opinion that the words " other istpfes" meant fubfidiary purpofes, dalfdart "merit. They were, therefore, clearly of opinion that the Mandamus ought not to go. HAMMOND V. BARCLAY. This cafe was tried at the Sittings after laa Term, and argued this Term. The reports of both of which have appeared in our paper. The quef tion was, whether the Aflignees of a Bankrupt had a lien upon a Chip configned to the Bankrupt to be fold, and in virtue of which confignment he bad accepted and paid bills of the Confignors, and alfo effeEted a Policy of Infurance on the fhip ? Mr. Jullice Gaosa now delivered the opinion of the Court, which was, " that they had a lien for All ruins paid, in confequence of the confignment, and alfo for thole fums which the Bankrupt's dine was liable to in confequence of his acceptances." LATE INSOLVFNT ACT. The Court heard a very long argument upon the conilruaiun of the late Infelvent An—Whether the Court of Quarter Seffions had jutildiaion after two Se!lions had paired ? It was argued by Mr. ATTORNEY.GINERAL, Mr.GIBB3. Mr. PARKE, and Mr. GURNFY, that the Al expired after two Set . - lions were paired, and that an Infolvent could not be difcharged at any future one; and if the Ma giftrates had difcharged him, the. Sheriff wuuld be liable to action fur an efcape. Mr. ERSILINI, and Mr. COMMON SERJIANT, on 'the contrary, contended, that when the Gaoler had returned the I;fis of prifoners to the Conti., at he was bound to do by the Ad, any one inclined in that lift was entitled to be brought up for dif charge at any lubfequent Seffion. • The Court thought this a matter of importance, and Paid they should take time to confider of it. LIABILITY or amt.. A cafe was difctrifed in which it appeared from the Affidavit, that the plaintiff in. the aftion,after he had obtained judgment againft the defendant, left a Capias ad Satisfaciendum with the Sheriff, with direetion to have it returned non el inventor, for the purpofe of afterwards fixing the Bath and this was contended to be according to the common praetice ; and therefore regular ; but • ,• . Mr. Juftice GROS E laid, this may be a common, but I am Pure it is an abominable praftice ; it hat often been reprobated by my Lord KEN YON, for by thefe means, the plaintiff, when he obtains his Judgment,and finds that the defendant is infolvent, has nothing to do but to take his Ca. Sa. •to .the. Sheriff, with direCtion, as here (toted, to have it returned non fl inventor, and then he has recourfe to the Bail, who are entitled to render the defect dant, which is all the plaintiff can demand. This mode of fixing the Bail is moft feandalons, and lhould not be endured. The Ca. Sa. when taken out, ought to be executed ; at leaft, the Sheriff ought to be inftrueted to take the defendant, if he can be found, and not inftrueted to return the Writ, non el inventor, for the purpofe of fixing Bail. Mr. Juftice LAWRENCE" A Ca. Ca. left with the Sheriff, with direction to the Sheriff to return it, non fl inventor! It is not to be endured. The Bail is thus moft unfairly treated. This Court has, on feveral occafions, been led to lament the hardfhip of the fituation of bail. An Attorney to take a Writ of Ca. Sa. to the Sheriff, with di redions to return it non 0 inventor, when he knows where the defendant may be found, is guilty of a fcandalous trick, when it is thus intended to fix the bail with the debt. The Sheriff is anfwerable for the confequences if he follows fuch diredions. It is a difhonett artifice to make the bail pay, when it is known the defendant could riot ; and that' If the Ca. Sa. was executed, he would old) , have the body of the defendant, and he is entitled to no more; if the bail were to render him, he could have no more.—This mutt not be fuffered ; the Court will know how to deal with an Attorney when a complaint of this fort is exhibited againft him." Mr. Juftice GROSE fetid, he had no doubt in this cafe the Attorney knew where to find the defen dant, and this was a trick upon the Bail. Mr. Juftice LAWRENCE—" It is very well for the Attorney that the motion was not made againft him—ln any other cafe like the prefent, an At. torney fhould be ordered to anfwer the matters of the Affidavit.—The Court will take care of the rules of Juftice when fuch a cafe (hall come before it in proper form." THE RING V. MOSS. The Defendant was brought in upon an Attach ment for contempt of Court. To a Declaration in ejeetment he had filed a Plea feveral hundred pages long, felting forth how one Sir Humphry Diddle, being feized in fee of the prernifes in quef tion, had fold them at Garraway's by one Mr. Knock--'em-down, an auctioneer, &c. &c. He was fworn to anfwer the interrogatories, and commit ted to the cufiody of the Marflush • QS/ESTION OF LAW. Upon a cafe being called on, which was faid to involve a queflion of law, Mr. Juftice LAWRENCE obferved, that on the laft day of Term there was no law, as had been faid by my Lord HOLT, by which was meant, that no queftion involving a point of law was to be dig - cuffed on the daft day of Term. It being the laft day of Term the Court fat late, hearing motions previous to the Sittings, which commence at Weftminfter tomorrow. (This day.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. EAGLETON D. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. On Wednefday Lord ALVANLEY delivered the unanimous opinion of the Court of Common Pleas, in this caufe, That there fhould be judg ment for the Plaintiff." It has been erroneoufly Dated in fome of the newspapers, that, after a full hearing at this trial, the Jury found a verdift for the Plaintiff, with ts. damages. The fait was, there was no hearing at all, the Plaintiff having contented to take nominal damages to try therigltt.
