LAW REPORT. ............-- COVET OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 19. TOE KING 1 1 . THE PARISH OF HALLOW. This was an apreal against the decision of the Ses sio , s, Finding that a servant, who had been imprisoned in the Flouse of Correction within the year, bad not galled a settlement. A rule to she,/ cause against the decision had been obtained. Messrs. ItcssELL and RYAN supported the order of the Sessinns, and referred to several cases, to shew that imprisonment for misconduct prevented the gaining of a settlement. These decisions were founded upon the 20th George [I. chip. 19. It was admitted that the principles of common sense had nothing to do with the law of settlement. Mr. NOLAN contended that the service of the year was not interrupted by the imprisonment, because the master himself had thought proper to get his servant im prisoned, as the alternative for not making an apology. The .tuonEs gave their opinions in order, and at some length. The Act of 20th George 11. applied only to imprisonment for misconduct on the part of a ser vant, which put it nut of the power of the master to have the service of his servant. In this case there ap peared to has•e been an understanding between the master and the Magistrate, as to the mode of punish ment. The servant had been a day absent from his master's service without leave. The master might have disinisscd him, or pressed the Magistrate to discharge him; but he had not done either. After his imprison ment be took him back, and was bound to take him back. The relation of master and servant had not been dissolved, and the period of imprisonment must there fore be considered as a period of service to his master. The year terminated two days before the servant was discharged from prison, but having been uninteruptedly in his master's service, lie must be held to have gained a legal settlement.—Rule made absolute. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY. THE ELIZA ANN. This was an appeal from the Vice-Admiralty Court of Jamaica, which had condemned the above vessel, with its cargo, for a violation of the 28th Geo. Which prohibits the importation of corn, &c. into any of our Colonial possessions, except the same be British property, and in a itish vessels properly manned. It appeared that a quantity of corn and flour had been conveyed in the Virginia Ross, which is an American vessel, commanded by Captain Lowe, from the United States to Cuba, and there landed on the pier, from whence it Was immediately shipped on board the British vessel, the Eliza Ann, and in that vessel conveyed to Jamaica, Captain Lowe accompanying the vessel in the, capacity of supercargo. On the Eliza Ann reaching the port of Falmouth, in Jamaica, a seizure of the ves sel and cargo was made, on the ground that the pro perty in the corn remaining in an American subject, its importation was prohibited. On behalf of the appellants it was contended by Dr. LUSHINGTON I that the 58th Geo. 111. had so far modi fied the 28th of the same king, as to allow the impor tation of corn and pulse in British vessels, from either the foreign Colonial possessions, or from the Continent of America, without requiring the cargo to be the pro perty of a British subject. He also denied that the cir cumstances of the case justified the inference that the property in the corn remained in an American after the shipment from Cuba. His Majesty's ADVOCATE admitted the question to be one of considerable importance, and on which he was free to confess that a difference of opinion prevailed be.' tween his Majesty's Advocate, and the Attorney-(ie sweat of Jamaica. In reviewing the whole circum stances of the case, he contended drat no doubt could exist but that the property in the corn remained in Mr. Lowe at the time of its being brought to Jamaica ; and that the designating Mi• Luse supercargo was a mere subterfuge. lie denied that the 58th Geo. 111. took the case out of the operation ef the :,'Stir. The latter sta- .1 tute was onl) meant to apply in cases where the impor tation took place the eotire distance. from the place of growth in a British vessel; and he contended that the conveying of a cargo a put of the way in a foreign vessel, and thence transhipping it iato a British vessel; was not a compliance with the spirit and true meaning of the 58th Geo. 111. and could not therefore protect the vessel from the penal liabilities of the 2Sth. Dr. Lusulacrom in teply, argued that the 58th Geo. HI. would not admit of the construction attempted to be given to it by his Majesty's Advocate. Lord S rOwELL announced his intention of pronounc ing judgment on the next Court Jay. CONTINENTAL SOClETL—Yesterday the Anniversary Meeting of the Society tor the promotion of Christianity on the Continent, was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. Upwards of 'A$)O attended. Sir THOMAS BARING in the Chair. The report stated, that during the last rear great progress had been made by the efforts of the Society's agents on the Continent. By means of the co'porteurs or book-agents, vast numbers of Bibles, Testaments, and Tracts, in the vernacular tongue, had been circulated in Tournay, Grenoble, and 13a) onne, and several parts of the Netherlands; in the west of Germany, Switzerland, Genoa, and the Cantons of Vaud and Berne. As soon as the Authorities in • Switzerland discovered the success of the mission, they pursued the agent as an enemy and an incendiary. The Council of Lausanne issued an edict against him. One of the officers of the Society had nitt.le an incursion into Spain againq sueertition, with a small army of 3CO Bibles and Testament , , be , ides a number oflight troops in the shape of Tracts. He penetrated to the walls of Mad:id, and di•chaiged into it his 500 copies, under the protection of the French military—(Applause). During the war, an agent got into Cadiz, and proceeded to dis tribute, but was apprehended, and cast into a dungeon, on a charge of sedition. One of his tracts was headed, Gon sends JESUS CHRIST to sinners, with laws of peace to the conscience." The wise Governor discovered 'what no one but himself could dream of, that die design of the tract was to overthrow the Govemment. The agent probably owed his life to the taking of Cadiz, but he' was ordered to Bait the country instantly. At Milan, Mr. Tartar° lingered under sentence of death for dis tributing Bibles. He was tried for Carbonic and the proof was, that he had circulated the “ible.— The report concluded with a recommendation that tin: exertions of the Society should be strenuously persevered in. It was received with great applause. Air. DRUM moND, the banker, moved that it should be received ; and Mr. SpF.Ncea PcncevAt. seconded the motion. "1 . he Rev. Mr. CI.:RNINGIIAM and other Gentlemen spoke. The iep , rt ssas received and a collection was made t the dow.i. METROPOLITAN LITERARY INSTITUTION. Yesterday evening the Anitiversary•Festival of the above Institution was held at the London Coffee-house; Ludgate-hill, when a numerous company attended; S!ieriff WHITTAKER in the Chair, who was supported by several persons of distinction. In the course of the evening a Mr. Saunders rose to! propose the health. of the Chairman. He was one of the foremost among the Members who were anxious to raise the Institution to a degree of eminence, and through whose exertions it was every day gaining ground. After eulogizing the Chairman, he remarked, that the high and official duties he had to perform were sufficient to occupy his sole attention, and when he lent his assistance to this they were doubly indebted to him. He concluded by proposing the health of Sheriff Whittaker. The CHAIRMAN rose to return thanks. In rendering his support to the Institution, lie conceived that he was only performing a duty consistent with his heart and feelings, and he contemplated a period of the present Institution that would vie with the most eminent. Mr. THossesori proposed " The memory of Lot d Byron," which was drank in solemn silence. In the course of the evening several speeches were de livered in praise of the Institution, and the company 'continued in the utmost conviviality until a late hour. THE LATE RAINS. We stated on Tuetday, that some buildings had been destroyed at Deptford, and it now appears that the-da mage was to a greater extent than was at first imagined. Early on Saturday evening the water poured itself from all parts into Deptford Creek, swelling it to a height never before known, and creating much alarm in the minds of the neighbours. At night the water had clogged up the arch, and pouring over the bridge, formed itself into a pool on the road ; to pass and re pass was impossible ; carts were brought out for the passengers convenience, and for a penny or two-pence a head carried them through the town. At the collier of the Creek stood a house inhabited by a poor widow , woman named Graves, and six children; the water having risen to her door, she felt much alarmed for her own safety and that of her children, and came outside of the house; scarcely had her foot left the threshold when the whole building fell into the Creek, carrying with it her furniture and stock in trade, consisting chiefly of child-bed linen. ller children were fortu nately rescued by her neighbours. The house on the opposite side of the Creek next felt the shock. It was occupied by Mr. Davis, a grocer, as a warehouse; the wall having fallen, the water entered the warehouse, and not fewer than twelve hogsheads of sugar were car ried down the stream. This was followed by a hogs head of raw coffee; next floated a Loge heavy waggon, and lastly some truck wheels. The stream carrying these things down with velocity, they struck against the wall of Langford's floor-cloth manufactory, which immediately fell, and part of the stock floated away. The adjoining leather factory of Mr. Brown, unable to stand the shock, partly fell, and the stream washed away a great quantity of leather. The owners of these warehouses were immediately on the alert, but the water cantintring so high and rapid, it was found im possible to recover any of the property. At length day light broke, and discovered the disasters of the pre ceding night. The unfortunate witlow's residence was entirely swept assay, but taro of her beds were picked up, about a quarter of a mile down the stream. The floor cloth and leather were scattered in all directions, and a barge having been sent down, it was in a. short time loaded with those articles, but in a damaged state. 'The hogsheads were also picked up, but their contents having imbibed the water, were wined to molasses, rendering it unfit for sale. The waggon which was can ied away was also restored in a shattered condition. But in this general calamity, none seemed to have suf fered so much as a miller named Carver, living lower down the Creek. To carry on the business of his mill an embankment had been formed across the Creek, in order that the water should run through his mill ; un fortunately, however, the water came with such vio lence that it threatened total destruction to the mill, and in a short time washed away the embankment. Exclu sive of this loss, which renders it impossible to carry on his business,. the mill is much damaged. An estimate has been made of his loss, amounting to 2,5001. Mr. Langford, the floor-cloth-manufacturer, also, com putes his loss at 1,1001. Mr. Brown, the currier, 7001. and Mr. Davis, the grocer, at 500/. forming, in the whole, a sum of 4,800/. exclusive of the poor widow's total destruction of her furniture, and trifling stock in trade, which procured her living. It is a singular cir cumstance, that during a heavy thaw about 15 years since, a similar flood tarok place at the Creek, and the house which the widow inhabited was then thrown down, but no damage was done to the other buildings, as on this occasion. BRITISH INS I I7'UTION. Tuesday the Friends of the British Institution were admitted to a private view of its Collection of Pictures, before the opening of the Gallery for public inspection. The collection is, this year, particularly splendid, and contains some of the finest specimens of the Flemish and Italian Schools. It is unusually rich in Spanish pictures, and contains several exquisite Iklummt.o's : among these, the Infant Saviour sleeping on the Cross, the property of Bail HowE; and The Assumption of the Virgin, belongin g to Loid EARDLEY, are conspicuims. In the North ft.oni is a 'magnificent Picture by TINTO. 11E170, of Esther before Ahasuerus, belonging to his MAJESTY. In this loom there is also a Landscape with Banditti, by SALVATOR ROSA, and several ails by REMBRANDT. The North Rooms contain Portraits by VANDYKE, among others, of the Duke and Duchess of HAMILTON, the Duchess of RICHMOND, and the Coun tess CLANBRASSIL. The company was very select and fashionable ; among them we noticed several of the Noble Proprietors of the beautiful specimens of art which adorn the Gallery. KING'S THEATRE.—Maduine PASTA appeared on Tuesday as the Tancredi of Henna% Opera so named ; and though slightly suffering from cold, acquitted herself in a manner fully to sustain her high reputation. Her forte is an insinuating softness and delicacy of expression, which produce an effect not easily to be conceived by those who have not heard this tielightful performer. Her taste is remarkably pure, and enables her to throw an addi tional grace over the original composition, by the e'egant yet chaste decorations she introduces. The general impression on the audience was highly favourable, and produced a warm applause seldom wit nessed within the walls of this Theatre. Her acting was judicious and graceful. Mad. Ronal in Min.'s supported the character of Arte mide, and imparted to the music all that passionate feeling and powerful expression, in which she takes the lead of almost all the singers of the present day Such was the general attraction of the Opera of Tuncredi, on account of the appearance of Mad. ROSSI u► 13senis and Madame PASTA in the two principal characters, that the pit was filled, and nearly every box occupied, before the riz.ing of the curtain. THE LADIES MISSIONARY Socivrv.--Yesterday an interesting Meeting of Ladies and Gentlemen took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in support of the above Society. At an early hour the room was fitted up in a neat style, with tables all round, which were covered with millinery, pictures, and ornaments of every description, and the whole formed the appearance of a Bazaar, while the company proceeded round the apart ment and made purchases, for which they paid munifi cently in aid of the Institution, to which the whole of the produce was contributed. ComEns.—ln consequence of information received, Mr. H. Aikins, the prison-keeper of Birmingham, ac companied by the constables, headborough, &c. of the town, seized, last week, in the house of George Pitch ford, in Wayborough-lane, in the parish of Solihull, Warwickshire, an iron press ready far working, having dies for striking half-crowns; also a box containing be tween five and six hundred counterfeit half-crowns, ap parently just struck off. In other parts of the house they discovered several pair of dies for sovereigns and shillings. The man, his wife, and the whole of the apparatus were conveyed to the prison in Birmingham, for examination. ROBBERY OF THE CHESTER MAIL.—A parcel con taining an immense quantity of stamps was stolen from the Chester Mail on the 17th of last month. The par cel had been sent from the Stamp-office to Henry lies keth, Esq. Chester, who is the stamp distributor for that district. It was not till some days after the delivery of the parcel ought to have taken place that its loss was discovered, when information of the circumstance was transmitted to the Commissioners of Stamps. Bishop, of Bow street, is employed in tracing the affair, but the result of his inquiries remains as yet a secret. 13ERGLARY.—A burglary was committed early on Monday morning, in the house of two maiden sisters, named CLAPTON, at Dunmow. The house, it appears, stands apart Irons other houses, surrounded by a pool of water. The man servant, on the morning of Mon day, was alarmed by a noise at his window, and before he could ascertain the cause, he was surrounded by three men, threatening to dispatch him if he made the least noise ; two of them in like manner secured the maid servant ; and the sisters hearing her shrieks came down stairs, and were obliged to discover to the villains where their plate and money were deposited, with which loading themselves they went away, having threatened to murder them if they made the least noise. Three men answering the description of the above, were traced as far as Bo s sy, where all further clue was lost. One of them had a great number of gold and new silver coins about him, a great quantity of which the Miss CLAPTONS were possessed of. An article in the Frankfork Papers states, that a gold mine has been discovered in the Isle of Samos. Should this prove true, it may be of great service to the Greeks. From the long continuance of cold and wet weather, the fall of lambs in the neighbourhood of Canterbury is calculated as being 10,000 Less, from the same num ber of ewes, than it was last season,. Saturday, while several valuable horses were shipping on board the King George, at Dover, for Calais, one of them became frightened, ran back, and fell over the quay on the vessel's deck ) about twenty feet, and died immediately. Mr. Serjeant GooLD, at opening the Sessions under the Insurrection Act at Kilkenny, said " there hate been no fewer than two and twenty murders committed within the last two years in the baronies in the county of Kilkenny, and not a single human being has been brought to punishment for any one of these acts." _ - ,•,,~„ POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDIIALL CARtiLeS PUBLICATIONs.—The Solicitor for the Treasury is un remitting in his exertions to suppress the sale of Carlile's libellous and blasphemous publications, and had reason to congratulate him self upon his success, as the shop, No. 84, Fleet-street, was closed on Monday afternoon, and continued shut up the whole of Tues day. It appeared, however, again open yesterday, but no addi tional offenders were apprehended. Yesterday, Thomas Jeffreys, one of the shopmen committed last week, found two bail of £4O each, for his appearance at the Sessions. Campion, another offender, was also admitted to bail. James Moffitt, the errand boy, who had been apprehended at the same time with Campion, fur having under his direction sold two of the obnoxious publications, was brought up, and on his grand father undertaking that be should be kept away from Carlile s shop, was discharged. BOW-STREET. A LIFT FOR Love.—John Egerton, owner and driver of the hack ney coach, No. 1106, appeared upon a summons to shew cause, it' he could, why he should not be fined under the Ilackney-coach Act, lot wilful mishi:haviour in the exercise of his profession. The facts. as alleged against him, were these :—Medlicott, a pa trol belonging to this Office, was on duty in Gray's Inn-lane, on the eight of Sunday se'nnight and he there saw the coach, No. 1106, going towards Battle-bridge; the coachman was seated in the mid dle of the box, and on either side of hint was a damsel, oneof whom was driving—and driving so furiously that they were " out of sight almost in no time;" so that Medlicott had no opportunity of med dling with them at that time. But in about an hour after, it being then after twelve o'clock at night, he saw the same coach coming down Gray's Inn-lane, towards Holborn, at the same furious rate as before, with nobody on the box but one of the aforesaid damsels; and she was flogging away at the horses with all her might. Medlicott now thought it high time to interfere ; and therefore he rushed forward and seized the horses' heads; at the saute time striking them over their noses with his staff to make them stop — which was at once very cruel and unjust ; for it is a hundred to one that the poor horses would willingly have stopped if the lady would have let them. I loweiter, what with thumping them on the nose, and what with checking upon their bridles, he contrived to stop them—though not before his own head and shoulders had received elivers dishonourable visitations of whipcord front the driving dam sel—or coachtroman, as be called her. Having thus brought th e horses to a dead stand-still, be ordered the damsel to dismount; which she did, though with a very ill grace, and many condemna tions both of his eyes and limbs. He then opened the coach door, and Who should be inside but the ocher damsel and the coachman fast asleep in each other's arms! "Halloo!" cried Medlicott," what's the meaning of this, Master Coachee?" To which Coachee replied —rubbing his eyes and rousing himself up as well as he could—" I ' say Poll ! drive on, and be t'ye! Touch 'em up under the flank, and they'll goo like winking!' " I'll take care VW/ don't touch 'em up anywhere," said Medlicott; " and if you don't come out and take charge of them yourself, I'll take you to the watch. house, and your coach and horses to the Green-yard!" This threat brought Coachee wide awake; he got out, shook himself, mounted the box, wished Medlicott at the devil, bade the damsels good night, and toddled soberly on his way. The Magistrate (:+1:. Mizottet 1.) told I\ ledlicott he had done wrong in not putting his threat of the watch-house and the Green yard in execution ; act.: he then asked the defendant, John Egerton, what be had to say i:. his defence ? " Verily, your Worship," replied John Egerton, " I be'nt guilty. Do I look like a man, at my years, to be running such rigs as them ere? Howsomever, look hs,w I may, though it was my coach, I wasn't out with it that ere night—being in bed and fast asleep at the time, as my wife can come forward to testify ; and therefore as I wasn't there—by a conwarity of reitsoning, it could'rit be me." Medlicott would not take up:nt himself to identity the person of the coachman, though he was positive as to the number of the coach; therefore the Magistrate called upon John Egerton to give up the name of the driver, since he denied being the driver hintaelf. " iftut I tell?" said John Egerton. " Indeed you must," replied his Worship, " or else I shall hold you responsible." , " Why, rhea," said. John, "it was my son, Jonathan ; and I wish they had tookeq him to the watch-house—whereby my horses would have been all the better for it—for my son Jonathan is but a randotnish sort of a chap." Under these eircumstani , es, Soho T.g.Tron was discharg..J, summons issued against his son Jonathan. Yesterday morning, Jonathan duly made his appearance, attends by his mother, and the abovesinentioned evidence htvirg her:, real over to him by the Clerk, his Worship aske4 him what he h,tl to say to it? " Why its all very good in point, that there," replied r - ndonai Jonathan, very phlegmatically, " coz its true I did give them lasses, what's mentioned, alf ft far /ow f hut as 14 drivin : ; pr;„, and all that err, I deny it, coz that the re lass whar was na the can drive a coach as well as any other mon in London, be Lie which he may." Jonathan's mother then addressed the Ilelch in mitiga ism% staring his Worship that Jonathan was as ernnt a lad as e. er bread, atol she had never known •hi.ti inisgiven (query, befoul the present time. " Then, in that case,' said his Worship, " I 'hall only For Ir tt forty shillings, instead of 31. as I might do; and I bor e is „::i be warning to him not to be misqieeti a secoad time.
