HARRISON V. MAY. Mr. Serjeant BAILEY faid, this was an a4tion'of trefpafs, and the cafe was a very fhort and fimple one. The defendant was a Gentleman who lived in the neighbourhood of the plaintiff, and had been warned off his grounds, fome time previous to the trefpafs having been committed: the prefent anion was brought to afcertain, whether he had a right to trefpafs in defiance of plaintiff? He under flood it was to he pretended, there had been a li cence given to fport on the plaintiff's manor ; but if the tad were fo, the licence was defeated by the fubfequent notice. Robert Cooper proved the delivery of the notice to the defendant. After he had ferved it, he faw him trefpaffing on the plaintiff's farm. The de fendant told him, if the plaintiff would appoint any morning, he would make a point of trefpaf ling on his grounds, and he might come and fee him. He had his dog ,and gun, continued there fot the fpace of two hours, and went over a great many fields. Mr. ADA M faid, the plaintiff's counfel had fated the very cafe, which he fhould prove. It was his defence; &lb that there was a licence, which the notice did not put an end to; idly, that the place in queftion was not the manor of the plaintiff. Mr. fullice Gtosa faid, he never knew a more impudent thing in his life; the defendant abfo lutely defied the plaintiff. It had been proved that the defendant had not only trefpaffed on that which was in the polreflion of the plaintiff, but had defired him to come and fee him do fo. He fhould certify it to be a wilful trefpafs. The Jury would give what damages they thought proper. He was of opitilon that even without the notice the trefpafs was wilful. Verdia for the plaintiff.—Damages One Shilling. -WOOD V. MARSH AND OTHERS. Mr. GAR sow Ca the plaintiff was a Cowkeeper near the Obeli& in St. George's-fields, and had brought this aftion againft the defendants for a Era pals, in breaking and entering his houfe. He was told the defendants meant to pretend they had fome authority from the Lord Chancellor. He alfo underltood that the only one of the, defen dants who was worth powder and (hot was Mr. Fawkener. He did not afic fuch damages as would ruin the defendants, though, if he fhould do fo, it •would be a juR retaliation upon them, for they, by their cond - nfl, had done all in their power to ruin his client. He fhould be contented with tool. damages. Starkey, kneii Wood, the cow-keeper, and alfo the defendants, Marih, Fawkener, and Nicholli. On (the day Rated in the declaration, he taw Na(h and Nicholls in the plaintiff's houfe, drinking gin and beer, and fmoaking their pipes; he heard Wood repeatedly defire them to depart about their bounds. Na(h laid they would not go, that they had an order from the Chancellor to receive sool. They accordingly took poffeilion of the plaintiff's houfe and effeas, and prevented his interfering with them ; they Raid there fome time, and at UR they were put out of doors by the peace officers. John Kinfpnry proved that Fawkener was in the hOufe with the other two Defendants during part of the time. ..... Mr. Serjeant BEST obferved, that whether lie (hould be enabled to get rid of this adion upon the evidence, was more than he could fay. His ' Learned Friend had laid, he Ihould be contented with tool. damages; but, ifhe had one penny, it would be three far things more than he was enti tled to, even as the cafe flood at prefent, for when the real Rate of the fails was laid before the jury, he was perfuaded they would be of opinion, that whoever had advifed the action bad not confuhed either his own credit or charader. The Plaintiff had, tome time ago, formed a connection with a perfon of the name of Edwards, who was the cre ; diwr of one Near, the laR occupier and fettee of the premifes.

A perfbn of the name of /LPEwens was brought up to be difehargeci, and objeCted to by a creditor of the name of Moggridge, as having obtained goods from him under fall:: pretences. Mr. Mog. Bridge (lated that he is a boor and !hoe maker.— The Defendant, who carried, on the buflnefs ofa wine-merchant in Fitzroy-felt:are, applied to him in the month of Oaober lafl for forme goods to be• fent abroad. The Witnefs allied him if he was going abroad with them, and at the fame time in formed him that his terms wore ready money.- 7 . The Defendant replied, that he was not going abroad; that they were for a friend ; that he could •nOt ready-money, but would give,his note at fia weeks for this order, and laid that he fhould ,Coon be in call:, and would for his fubfequent or l ders pay him on delivery. The Witnefs then Ctid if he was not going abroad he had no °Nation to take his note. The Defendant again allured him that he was not, and laid he deteited the idea of leaving England, and at the fame time gave him fome refpeCtable references. The Wiylefs made the meaty inquiries, and being farisfied as to charaCter, the goods were fent. When the note became due it was dilhonoured. 'I he A - iv:eft immediately went to the Defendant's hot:CC, and found that he had taken his pairage . on hoard the Alert for the Weft-Indies, with theloods in quer tign lie was arrefled at Portfmouth. The Cap tain of the veffel proved that he engaged a pairag,e in his fhip previous to the time of procuring tliefe goods of Mr. Moggridge. The Counfel for the Defendant contended that the Plaintiff had not made out a cafe, lo as to .bring him within the clank alluded to. He there. I fore lubmitted that the Defendant was entitled to his difcharge. The Captain was afked whether that was the Defendant's intention ? lle laid, that he had taken a parlage to the Weft-Indies in his fhip, and had told the Witnefs that he meant to return with him: ....... The Court raid there wa*not a qucaion in this cafe. The Defendant, it was proved, had taken his paffage previous to procuring the goods of the Plaintiff; therefore, at the time he told him that. it was not his intention to go abroad; he had cer tainly ufed a falfe pretence. The Defendant rzas accordingly remanded. Attinansb FRAUD.—A Gentleman of the none of Rawlins, who is an Officer in the Light Dra goons, was brought up to be difi.harged, but was oppofed. The Counfel for the oppofing creditor Rated the cafe at great length. lie laid he was in ltruded that the reafon for oppofing this Gentle man's dilcharge was, that he had committed one of the moil grofs and diabolical frauds. by procu ring the loan of 6501. upon fome annuities in the funds, which flood in the names of cer ta i n perfons; and after the money was advanced to him, be went to the Bank, and changed the names of the trufl, thereby precluding the parties who had ad vanced the money from taking the timed:try !l e e. to fecure their property, as he had gone down to Portfmouth in order to embark for the E.tit-Indies, when he was overtaken and arrefled. The learned Counfel then detailed the evidence he meant to adduce in fupport of the charge. The oppofing creditor was a Mr. Edwards, a Solicitor. Some altercation took place between the Counfel on both fides refpe&ing the epithets ufed by the Learned Counfel for Mr. Edwards. After which Mr. Rawlins and Mr. Edwards were feverally examined, when it appeared that every means had been ufed by Mr. Rawlins to fettle the bufinefs to the fatisfaCtion of Mr. Edwards, who afted as agent for Mr. Collier in this tranfadion. It appeared, that he had in formed Mr. Edwards the names of the Trullees were to be changed, and all.) that be was going with his regiment to the Eaft Indies. It was ttated that the Commander in Chief had taken the cafe of Mt. Rawlins into his confideration, and al ' lowed him his full pay, as he had loft his rank by being detained in this country. • The Court faid, that fome rnifapprehenfion hat occurred on both fides, and they were ferny In much warmth had been (hewn. The conduct of both parties was perfectly honourable. As to the idea of fraud, no doubt was entertained by th..m but that Mr. Rawlins had completely cleared sip the alperfions thrown out again it him. The cots dud of Mr. Edwards was certainly very honotn• ( able. Mr. Rawlins was entitl e d t o hi s difch..irg,-, the allegations not being proved. He was accord -10&7 44-charged, J
