This was an action of trespass for false imprison• meat, with a count for a common assault. Pleas-1. Not Guilty ; and, 2. A Justification. New assignment for excess. ,Pleas to the new assignment-1. Not Guilty; and, 2. A justification, and issue thereon. At the trial before the Lord Chief Justice, at the Sittings after last Trinity Term, the case was in substance this :—ln July, 1814, the defendant, being an Officer in the 7th West India Regiment, was appointed by General Fuller, Commander-in-Chief of Jamaica, as Superintendent of the Settlement at 'Honduras, a dependency of that Island, and continued to h old the appointment in 1820, when the transaction in question took place. The 7th West India Regiment was disbanded in 1815, when the defendant became entitled to half-pay; but in August, 1816, the Regiment Was again embodied, and soon af terwaids the defendant changed his situation, and be came Lieutenant-Colonel of another Regiment, called the Tot k Chasseurs, but bad not joined his regiment. Dining his appointment of Superintendent at Honduras, he exercised the supreme military command of that' settlement. On the 24th of August, 1819, the York Chasseurs were disbanded, but the defendant received his full pay until the 25th of October in that year, after which period he was on hal f- p a y . Tla plainti ff, Major Bradley, was second in command at Honduras, in 1820, and claimed to exercise the supreine command, in con sequence of an opinion that the defendant, being only a half-pay Officer; his military character had ceased, and, therefore, he had no authority over the forces.— The defendant having issued an order, commanding the plaintiff to attend him at the Government House with the other Officers under.his command, LDS plaintiff re fused to comply, and thereupon the defendant placed him first in close arrest, and afterwards in arrest at large. until the cad was reported to the Commander- In-Chief. For this imprisonment the present action was brought, and the question on the trial was, whether the appointment of the defendant, as Superintendent of the Settlement, whilst he was only on half-pay, gave him mi litary supremacy, and subjected him to the plaintiff's command? It was admitted that a half-pay Officer is not subject to Martial Law : but, on the other hand, it was pi oved by Colonel Torre2s, Sr 11. Taylor, and other Military Officers, that, according to the usage and custom of the army, a haif-pay Officer is competent to receive a military appointment similar to that in ques tion, and upon his being appointed, becomes, ipsofacto, a Military Commander, and amen able to Martial Law. Ii was also proved that General Fuller had appointed the defendant to the supreme military command of all the forces, regular or othei wise, in the settlement, and that the defendant had bten rec(gnized by the Com mander in-Chief at home as the supreme Military Com mander. Upon these facts the defendant founded his first plea of justification, and the Lord Chief Justice being of opinion that the plea was made out, the de fendant had a verdict upon that issue. But upon the plea 01 justification to the new assignment, whiaggleged that the plaintiff had been detained longer under anest than was necessary, the Learned Judge left the case to the . Jury, who found a verd i ct for the plaintiff—dama ges £lOO. In Michaelmas Term Mr. BROUGHAM ob tained a Rule Nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the defendant's first plea ofjustificatiou Was not made out. The A TTORNLY-GRIIRRAL, Mr. GURNM and Mr. PARK, now shewed cause, and contended, that the evi dence being all one way upon the fit st plea of justifica. lion, it was quite decisive to spew that the defendant was entitled to exercise the command allies the plaintiff had resisted. As a half-pay Officer meiely, the defen dant would not be-subject to Martial Law, but as he was qualified to receive the appointment of Supetinten dent of the Colony in question, the moment he obtained his appointment, be became entitled to exercise the su preme command, and was, to all intents and purposes, a Military Commander. Mr. BROUGHAM, in support of the rule, contende d, first, diet the defendant, by reason of his being only on half-pay, was incapable of taking the supreme militai y command of the settletneia ; and second, that 1:e hail not been, in fact, legally appointed to the command. As to the first point, he insisted that a half-pay Officer is, to all intents and purposes, a mere civilian, ar,d is no shore liable to military conttoul than any man alto wears a black or brown coat. That was decided in Central Ross's case, in 1786. Hal'-pay is only a reward for past, and is not a retainer for future ,et vices. It might be utr..., that half-pay Officers are liable to be called out into actual service, but where was the au thority to comp e them to come ? There was -none ; the Crown, index d, stop their half-p.,y, but that. was all. They could not be subjected to any military punishment tor not coming. any more than the .tor :ley-General himself, who s e venthough Lo t oene-a, and liable to be tnl!ed out, s not boundcome ut— (.litreh laughter). Lt was idle, therefore, to say that a half-pay Officer *as anlthing.more than a civilian; and if so, then, even according to the legal opinions pronounc ed by the Military Officers on defendant was not qualified to bold a supieme military co mmand. But secondly, assuming his capaci hold such a situation, was he legally a 1 p 0 in point of fact? He would assert broadly, that General Puller bad DO auti , ority to give such an appointment. None hut the King could delegate to another the sepreme command over the lives and fortunes of others. Ki ng until the statute IS and 14 . Charles 11. c. 3, the King himself could riot delegate supreme military com mand to another. 'Lie East India Company, even, *tie no power to de:egate supreme Indite' y command over their settlements ; nay, peen the Lord High Admiral has. 0o ,power to delegate such authority to Officers of the Navy; according to the 94 William and Maly, Confiruted - by tbe 92d Geo. 11. A make minas, the% the Commaaglar-in!Chief at Jamaica, bad no power to delegate stiPieene command to another in any dependency of that Island. After urging these two. repositions at cetsideratile length, rend with hit usual ,i • ...•. ingenuity, the Leatted COunsel contended that the de: fendant's plea of justification bad not been utadMitsty. and, therefore; there ought to be a new trial. . • Mr. Eros, at the sled:eat the Calm reserved his argumialli* a future day. . • niorron tr. Jusr, This was an action to recover the vales of a !Whet trunk, and of some drtitles contained in it, which the plaintiff alleged had been lilt under the care of the de fendant, for the purpose of being conveyed to Sidcup, in Kent, at which place two of the plaintiff's sons were at school. It appeared that the defendant was the keeper of the Spotted Dog,. ip the Strand, and was in the habit of receiving parcels of every description for the coaches and errand carts which called at his house. The plaintiff's witnesses swore, that on Saturday, the 26th of Match last, they delivered the trunk in question at the house of the defendant, for the purpose of being conveyed to Sidcup, and that they paid two-pence for booking it. Evidence was called for the defendant,. to prove that it was always customary to enter and describe the parcels in a book : that this had never been brought to that house, and the book, having been before pro.; duced at the plaintiff's desire, no such entry or descrip tion was found in it. Witnesses were examined in re ply, to shew that the defendant had admitted' receiving the trunk. • The Cum Janice left the whole case to the Jury, who found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 61. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 11. The Court were occupied nearly the whole morning idaimoing a special ease of no public interest. The giestios was as to the right of presenting to a living,- and in the course of the discussion, it-was stated that a lay person might be a Prebend, as the King was one of. the Prebends of St. David's The Caw James observed, that the King, as Head o( the ebwris, was a spiritual person.

Mr. fiedeast VAINSUAS, looking at the Court, replied—Your. Leedsidp are much nearer being Cardinals tha n I am, since you ere clothed both in scarlet and purple. - Sr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, for the plaintiff, and Mr. tikajeant D'O'rLIY for the defendant, having , each ar gued that the client of the other had no tight' to pre sent, Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUET, who appeared for the Crown, said, that he was pet fectly satisfied with' their joint arguments, as the right then vested in the King. for whom he bad the honour to appear. SCOTT v. HECTOR GREW, ESQ. • Mr. Seijeant WILDS moved for a rule to shew cause why the money paid out of Court in 'this cause shOuld not be paid in again. The plaintiff 'was gardener to Sir Thomas Maitland, and the defendant was a Gen tleman who held an official situation in one of the lonian Islands. The plaintiff arrested the'defendani for a debt of 141. attic!' he stated was dire to Sir Thomas, Maitland, for fruit, vegetables, Bm:supplied out of Sit Thomas's garden: lodgment was obtaine, and the money was paid into Court. It Was stated, th a the notices bad been served at the adjoining house to the defendant, and that the plaintiff was not -authorised to ! see for any debt due t. Sir Thomas &liiilana's estate. I The Court granted the application. . " • • - • We' have received, by the Flanders 'mail. Brussels Papers to the' 12th, and the Austriarf Observer to-the Ist irritant.

It will be recollected that Miss Stocks is the young woman who accompanied the unfortunate Mr. Harris, and was then nearly killed. The Limerick Chronicle contains an account of a Very barbarous murder committed in that county, on a coun try Gentleman of the name of Hunt, who was found in a coppice near to his house, with his head thockingly mangled, the bones of his skull being beat in, and; his brains scattered about; his bat, cane, watch, and keys lying at his side. A verdict of wilful murder has been returned by the Coroner's Jury, against a man named Patrick Kirby,•and a young woman named Margaret Dillon. It is said the dbceased was allured into the copse by the female, when Kirby came on him, and Committed the murder with a hatchet.* It is stated that the murder was concerted some months before, bet no. cause is even alluded to.

Waterlow, 1 ,w—tationer, in Birchitt-lane, were entel el by thieve's, and law stamps o' the value of • 2501. were stolen. A fortnight since, Mr. W. received a notice that the property would: be. refunded for an adequate consideration, and that their agent might be sten at a particular public-house, Fleet• stieet, at a certain hour. Supposing be mig ht get some clue to the thieves, Mr. Waterlow . sent a. friend there; but the stranger was tiro wary to suffer anything to be drawn front him. He at first mentioned 100 L as the, lowest sum that: ould be taken, but atterwards dropped down to - 601. which was to be left at a Mr. W.'s near Shire-lane, where, after receiving the money, the agent would deposit the stamps Mr. Waterlow, however, would not accede 'to these terms, and here the matter rests. The landlord of the public-house knew nothing of the parties, or their business. We have often heard of the strange kind of Officers who command the American Militia; and however re luctant we may have been to credit the fact, our doubts are now removed by the. following statement, copied from the Philadelphia Gamic of the Sd of May ; The Mowing is the result of the • election held yesterday for Colocet, in the Seth Regiment, Penn.
