COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, I , IIIRUARY x 4. SITTINGS AIPTEIt MIN ■EFOEE LOLD SLDON. LEMON V. ra lIGUSON. This was an anion to recover fomewhat above 161. Rated to be the amount of the turn due for the work and labour of two horfes for one month, and for other expences necelfarily incident oaring that period. It was alledged on behalf of the plaintiff, that thefe horfes were hired by the defendant at a parti cular turn for a year, that at the end of a month they were returned to him without any fufficient reafon, and that he was therefore entitled to reco ver for the time they had been employed. To fubftantiate his cafe, a number of witneffes were called, who depofed that the horfes ufed by the defendant were capable of undergoing any mode rate degree of work, and that the charges made by the plaintiff were not more than were fair and kilt, at the time the trantaftion took place. In addition to this, one witnefs was produced, whole tellimony went to prove that the defendant, on a particular occafion, had given him authority to fay to the plaintiff that he would pay his ac count, as the plaintiff might be ufeful to him in buying or felling horfes. On the other hand the defendant avowed that the contra& exprefsly admitted that he thould have the power of returning the horfes, and get ring them exchanged for others if they were not found 'on experience to be adequate to his fervice. On this principle he had taken the horfes with him to Cheltenham, and from his experience on this journey of their being unable to perform his work, he had returned them to the Defendant. .At the time that this complaint againft the fuf ficiency of the bodes was made, it was further contended, that the Plaintiff had agreed to ex change them, though, at a fubfequent period, he refuted to do this, unlefs a confiderable addition was made to the fum fpecified in the contra& To prove thefe allegations, four witneffes were called; the evidence oitwo of thefe witneffes par . ticularly refpened the infufficiency of the horfes to perform the journey to Cheltenham, and the tefli• mony of the others referred to the pronaife made by the. Plaintiff, to fupply the Defendant with fuck horfes as would be fufficient for performing any work in which he thould have °coition to employ them. After Lord ELDON had fummed up the evi dence, and explained the law of the cafe with very great ability, the Jury retired for an hour and a half, and brought in a verdin for the Plain tiff for 40 shillings. IDKONSTON V. WEAR. This was a Fierepeiar, according to Mr. Gt sos's opening, to revive a judgment which the Plain. tiff had' obtained aga inft the Defendant in t 795. Since that time the Defendant had become a bankrupt and obtained a certificate, which he let up as a bar to this action. The Counfel laid, he undertook to thew to his Lordthip and the Gentlemen of the Jury, that the whole of the Defendant's Bankruptcy was founded in fraud, which was fabricated by Webb and his Attorney, Mr. Platted, who was the petitioning creditor under the Commiflion ; and that all the creditors who had proved any debts were fiCtitious. He direned the attention of the Court and Jury, particularly, to the fituation of two creditors, the one a Cobler, of the name of Marks, who had proved a debt of 701. who alto fold fprats. The other creditor's name was Mary Brewer, who had fworn to a debt of 1751. los. whole hulband had been a pauper fur five years in Horton work. houfe, where he died. This woman had no means of making any money. She was called as a witnefs. She was very infirm, and talked about a turn of money the had got in confeqnence of having purchafed a Lottery Ticket. She Paid her fitter had been the reputed wife of Wcbb ; that the herfelf had been his fervent, and was now his mother-in-law, he having married her daugh ter. She could give no fatisfanory account how Ilse had acquired property to the amount of 5751. cos. or indeed to any amount. She is now in an alms-houfe in Rofemar-lane. The Noble and Learned Judge, in the courte of her examination, humanely and folemnly ad ' monithed her to recollsn that the was (worn to (peak the truth, and to remember that from her age and infirmities the mutt loon appear before that Tribunal where the muff give an account of all her aniAns. The honourable feelings of Mr. Easels', lead ing Counfel for the Defendant, and of the other Gentlemen on the fame fide, teeing the infamy of the defence, gave it up, in confequence of which the jury, under the direnions of his Lord thip, found a verdiet for the Plaintiff np to the anent of his demand. His Lordthip defired Mrs. brewer to go away and fin no more. ROCIIS V. MARRIOTT. The Plaintiff, Mr. Rogers, is an Attorney, and brought this anion againit Mr. Marriott. an May Mailer at Golcifiniths-hall, for a bill of Coils for bufinefs done for himfelf, and alto for a Lady of the name of Grover alias Blackburn, a Watch chain-maker, in Alderfgateßreet, and who is un der the Defendant's protenion, who is a married man, having a number of children. Mr. %MOAT, who was leading Counfel for the Plaintiff, called leveret witnegfes,who fubltantiatad in the moil fatisfanory manner his demand, which was for pl. A Mr. Winter and Mrs. Grover herfelf woo ' among the witneffes called for the Defendant, and they Avore that Mr. Rogers had given credit M her, and not to the Defendant. But the Court and Jury paid no regard to their evidence. This tidy would not (wear that the bad not been intro. tilneed to a Mrs. Steevens as Mrs. Marriott. 1- Mr. M 111,0•11 (aid, he could prove it bi three witneffes then in Court, but it was unnece Lord Kim vox °Mimed, in his Addrefs to the jury, that this anion was brought by Mr. Ro gers, who he doubted not was a man of (kill in his profeffion. The defence was that he had given credit to this lady, and not to the Defendant. His Lordtltip thought that was highly improba ble, bectufe it was not very likely that he would fruit her, who was a married woman, and her hutband abroad. [lt appeared In the courfe of the caufe, that Mrs. Grover was married in the year 1784 to a Baker of that name, and that after they had lived to e ther for ,a n..unber of years, lig had defined her. All the circurnttances of the cafe, as well as aletter from the Defendant to the: Plaintiff, looked to the Defendant for payment; The Jury, under his Lordthip's direttions, (mind a vet-diet for Plaintiff for 311.

By the evidence of a gentleman formerly Solicitor to the Defendant, it appeared that he had agreed to pay half-a-gui nea per week for its maintenance. It was Rated on the part of the Defendant that he had paid a fum of 301. to the mother in conlideration of her not making any further claim ; this was acknow ledged to have been received ; but that he alio had agreed to pay half-a-guinea per week for the maintenance of the child. The Jury accordingly found a verdid for the Plaintiff for 4 t4s. JU5$ V. TIBIS. This was an action to recover the amount of a bill of exchange for 91. The Plaintiff had credert a machine for pumping up beer in the hoary of the Defendant, who is a publican, and had re ceived fix guineas down, and the note in queilion when he called for payment he refufed to pay him, raying the machine was not worth any thing the Plaintiff then withed to remove it, but thq Defendant would not permit him.

Sir Henry was this day brought up to the bat of the Court, by writ of Habeas Corpus. Mr. CURRAN, Carafe' for the profecutien, moved the Court, that the prifoner fhould be tried at its bar on fuch day in the next Eager term, as the Court fhould dircd. He Rated, that Mifs Pike and her uncle had made affidavits to induce the Court to comply with the motion; from which affidavits it appeared that the prifoner bad flood out the proccfi of the law to an outlawry, and abfconded from jullice • that lately he had re. turned to the city of Cork, and notwithftanding a proclamation from Government offering awl. and an advertifement from the profecutnx offering sod. for his apprehenfion, he appeared at a ba ll in the city of Cork; that the prifoner had by letter boafted of the favour of the inhabitants of Cork, high and lew ; and that profecutrix was afraid of her perfonal fafety, if the trial Mould take place there; and that the prifoner's brother-in-14w was RCM Mayor of Cork. On the fide of Sir Henry, Mr. Qtr and Mr. BLACKBURN E moved the Court, toyemand the per. fon of the prifoner and his indhtment to the city of cork, there to be tried at next affixes, purfuant to the ftatnte of the 2ift and sad of Geo. 3. They Dated that the prifoner had made an affidavit ac counting for his abfence ; that one of his witnefea was 7o years of age, infirm, and unable to travel to Dublin ; that Sir H. bad no connedion with th, prefent Mayor of Cork for (even years back ; and upon the whole, that it would be highly expenfive and injurious to the prifoner if he Mould be tried isi The Court declared they faw no reafon for re. moving the trial of this caufe from the proper ju. rifdiaion. No ground was laid to induce a doubt that a fair trial could not be had before one of the King's Judges at the Cork affixes ; and as to the apprehenfion of danger to profecutrix's perfon, it appeared to have no weight even in the mind of the profecutrix herfelf, for the now refides in fafety in the neighbourhood of Cork'—therefore the Court refufed the profecutrix's motion, and ordered that the prifoner and his indiament fhould be fent for trial to Cork. FIIIRUARY KING V. J. N. TANDY. Mr. TAKOY was this day brought up to the bar, and Mr. ATTOCN Ey Gs); aim. informed the Court, that it was his intention that the prifoner flioultl be tried in the county Donegal!, at the next affixes, where the overt-acts of treafon are *fledged to have been committed, and that though he might have obtained a rule of the Court to fend the prifoner and his indiament to Donegal!, without bringing him into Court—yet as the prifoner had chorea Counfcl under an idea that his trial would take place in Dublin, he might now with to have other Cotuifel aligned for his defence—..therefore it was. that he (A T T GKN IT GENBIALLhad thought it right to have the prifoner broug up this day, Mr. TAUDY being aiked by the Court, if he had any objeEtion to make to the motion, or if he de. fired to change the Counfel already ailigned for his defence he (aid he had not received notice of' this motion until Saturday evening ; that he had not had an opportunity of confulting his Counfel ; and now willied for their affillance—upon which, Mr. CIMII.III was called, and aftet confulting with Mr. l'amnr,faid he faw no objeition to the motion, and as to the neceffity of changing his Counfel, ha faw no occafion for it, as he was certain from the manner in which the profccution was conduaed by the ATTORNeIf GsNtaaL, be was fure no objeftioa would be made to Counfel appearing at the trial, although not fpecially aligned. Mr. ATTORNITGENCRAL replied, that be would confent to the prifoner'• having fuch perfons for his Connie! as be dared. The Court accordingly granted the ATTOILII Gsstaex's motion, and the prifoner will of court be vied at Lifford affixes.
