COURT OF RING'S BENCH, DEC. at. 11.0111a$ V. anotsorom. The ATTOIVILT-GBIIIIIAL Rated, that this was an adlion upon a Chatter piety, by which the de fendant covenanted that his (tip Mould procied to St. peterfborgh, and there take in a cargo of mans and Raves which the plaintiff had provided. In breach, however;' of" this covenant, Captain Stevens, the relater of the defendant's (hip, when he had paled the Sound, thought proper to go to. Dantitc, jolt cad of proceeding to St. Pe. terfburgh. What his reafons for doing this were, it was not very eafy to dircover. He gave fe veral in his &stens, firft alledging that at was &els of weather. awl next, it was by reafon of the embargo. It Owned, however, that the Gentleman did not much relifh the voyage be fore he fat out. He was rubjee to a great once fines at the prorpee, and was diftnthesi with mid night VirlOVS. Like foie birds that final the ap. proaching torsi, he feemed to anticipate the hot.- rota of a Ruffian embargo. and thought it lareft to keep out of the way of danger. The Jury would alfo find, that be raw a (hip, whom no one elle ever law, that gave him a fignal to put back ; aid, as foxy are very alert, when thi bear a retreat fogiwkdr fo be hifisdfisfi rawadb an made the belt of his way into Datum t " He beard amine that Hole so lamer Ray."

If be bad pulsed his voyage, be would have ar.- rived in fufficient time to have taken in his lading, and to have failed before the embargo took place, which was not till the 3d or 4th of November, as he (boutd thew was done by reveal other Captains, who paled the Sound later than he did. In this breach of covenant, he raid, they were entitled to damages for the lots of the fate of the cargo, which they had provided. • The Charter Party beinrtead, - Capw'n Baker, of the - Progrefs, and Captain I,owtherington, of the Suffix, Rated, that they pafred the Sound on the 26th and a7th of &peens. ber; that they proceeded to Peterlburgh, took in their lading, and failed homeward on the 26th. They net no King's frigate going to Cronfeadt, and had not any very ftorrny weather. Mr. Scotland, a merchant, then refiding at Cronftadt, proved that a cargo was ready. Mr. EatLiws, for the defendant, Rated, that the Captain could not purfue his voyage, from firers of weather, but was obliged to put back to Dantait, where he heard of the embargo, and then he judged it molt expedient to take in a cargo there for England. To rapport this cafe, lie called the Mailer and Mate of the veffel, who raid, that they got through the Sound on- the myth of Sep. teentser, and proceeded on their voyage on eta It began to blow hard, mid when they were o ff Gothland, the flip became leaky. They kept two hands in the hold, contently balling, Wide§ the pumps going.. In this (late, upon a confutes. tion, they determined to make for Dantaic.

When they reacjied Dantrie, be fide heard of the embargo ; and then eight of his crew, who were Danes and Swedes, applied to their Conful to be dircharged, and he was obliged to give them up. He never heard there that the embargo was taken off 1 and after repairing be took a cargo for England. It was not fo profita ble a one by yooL as the one at Peterlburgh would have been. Lord Whitworth raid, that as loon as be, at' agen, heard of the Ruffian embargo , be d' pat ched his M b al t e n tr's (hip Vigor, to (top all the merchant (hips thither. Lord Rearms raid, that the tingle queftion was. Whether the Captain.

In other words; the qneflion was. Whether the Captain had aile d bona ,irk or not ? Now, the Captain had (worn, that he did in the bell way be could. He thought himfelf bound to believe a *inlet's in what he (wore, if be had no Intereft in the fubjea (and the Captain here had no intereft, for he was releafed by the owner) ; /At, however, a Jury would difmifs the teftimony of the witnefres, if they raw any reafon for think ing they ought not to be believed—but if a man came with a fair aortae?, and without intereft in a queftion, and he gave his teftimony fairy, and nothing appeared on the other fide, (as was the cafe here); common charity, which we all carried about us, ought to induce us to believe what we heard from him.-Superadded to this, there was the circinftance, that this man was aging againft his own intereft in returning to Edgrand inftead of going to Peteriburgh. for it made a difference of Soot. Such were general obfervitions. It was raid that ten or &dozen (hips that came after this veffel got into Petertburgh fuppothig they did fo, without inquiring, whether It might not have been better if they had not, that could not decide the cafe, for this yard might be iffetted when the others were not; and the Cap. tain (wore., that he was not able to go to Peterf burgh, and that hi was obliged to put in to Dant sic, where fix of his crew were taken away from him, and allowed to go back. only on condition that they thould be delivered up at Elfineur. ft was Contended that auntie was one of the Hank Towns, and that our Conful might have made a reprefentation there in the Bnoth name, which would have had the effeft of giving back to this Englifli Captain, thefe fix Swedes and Danes. It became every Englithman to (peak of thatnation to which he belonged with pride, wherever its navy could come into action ; but ruppore we tbould be a little land-locks, and could not get to a place whcre fome things were done which we could not with. Perhaps there was a Monarch' among the States of Europe, who would not have taken ex aCtly the courfe he did, if our (hips could have reached the molt important part of his dominions. The King of Priam and the town of Dantric did not think alike perhaps, but from fome little furs. poled influence, they afted a good deal alike, and ti•erdore there was no .probability that after the Caotain loft thefe Swedes and Danes at Dottie, he would have been able to fupply their places there. The Captain, in this, cafe, never thought of t cargo for England until he had loft thefimen. —This• was a cafe which was peculiarly for the jury to judge of altogether; there was no law In it, other than what the rules of trade required for the common convenience of mankind, for the decifion of which the Jury were infinitely finer than he was; or Pretended to be ; be did not fay this from the common affeetation of prai fi ng flack he fpoke to, but from real feeling; he knew and he felt. that without loch alfitiance as he was in the habit of receiving - from that box, he Mould be obliged to give up his fitnation, for he would not go on upon commercial affairs without the affiltance he. had from Juries of the City _of Lon don: they aided him in his weaknefs, and (up. plied his defies.
