This aftion was brought to recover the fum of 6031. The Plaintiff's are owners of the (hip Re liance. Their cafe was, that the Defendants had freighted 'one hundred tons of the above fltip on her voyage from Surinam to London; that they had refereed one hundred tons accordingly ; that the Defendants had put no goods on board ; and that they were thus entitled to 6031. for the dead freight. The only witnefs called was the Defendant's Clerk. He faid that - he had been defired to fe cure the preference of one hundred tons in any (hip from Surinam • that he faw one of the Plain tiffs at Lloyd's Coffee-houfe, and engaged for one hundred tons in the Reliance ; and that he after wards wrote a letter to the plaintiffs, faying that the houfe agreed to the propofal he had made.— On his croft examination he faid that he had no authority to enter into fuch a contrast • he was not the general agent of his millers, and he had not been empowered by them to bind them on this occafion ; he had mentioned what he had done to Tome of the partners, who teemed fatisfied, but he had wrote the letter without the privity of any of them, and it had never been copied into the letter , book; a charter party was afterwards tendered to Mr. Campbell, one of the Defendants, which be premptortly refuted to execute. Lord ELLE/41301.0%7CH was clearly of op'n'on that the Defendants were bound by the adt of their Clerk. _ _ Mr. ERSKINE contended, that the agreement was only that the Defendants Should fend home by the Reliance any colonial produce which they had at Surinam. If it could be proved that they had any, or any which they fent by another Ship, then they would be liable. Lord ELLEN BOROUGH Paid, this would be a ma dam pawn. Who would undertake to keep room in a Ship at Surinam without knowing whether it would be occupied ? Allowing that the Clerk had not, in the firft inftance, authority to contraa, Rill his adt had been ratified by his fuperiors The Jury immediately found for the Plaintiffs. Lord ELLENBOROUGH afterwards obferved, that it would introduce the molt dreadful confufion in to mercantile tranfaaions if a Clerk, who was held ont to the world as an accredited agent, were to be allowed to come and fay that his powers were limited, and that he had exceeded them. Mr. ERSKINE Paid, that as his powers were li mited only during the trial, be muff now confefs that he was exactly of the fame opinion. HEATH V. HUBBARD* This was an anion of trover to recover a third part of a chip. This (hip belonged to a gentleman at Newcaftle, of the name of Ward, and failed to Rulfia in the year tBOO. She was infured by a club of underwriters, for whom the Plaintiff is agent, for aoool. being valued at 60001. The embargo laid upon Britith (hipping by Paul I. found her at Riga. The owner abandoned her, but before all the formalities of the tranfatlion had been gone through, Paul had met his fate, and the embargo had been taken off by his (ne edier. It was then agreed that the property thould remain in the name of Ward upon his repaying the 20001. and 2501. additional. The furn of Isool. was paid back, but Ward then became a bankrupt. Before this, thinking that he was fole owner, he had fold the (hip to the Defendant, Hubbard, who had again fold her to a Mr. Brown and feveral others. The Underwriters, finding that they Would -not be paid the 7501. took out a regiller and went through all the Reps necelfary. for vetting in Heath, their Agent, the legal tide to one third of the (hip. Three points were made for the Defendant That trover could not be maintained, a's the Plain taiff, if he had any title, muff be conlidered as te nant in common with the Defendant, or the new vendees, no oufier having taken place : a. That the third part of the (hip had been transferred to Heath, as Truftee for certain perfons not named, who, for any thing that appeared, might be fo reigners • and, 3. 'That the forms for transferring the legaititle to Heath had not been gone through in due time. The fale to Hubbard had previoutly taken place; and had Lord Hawkelbury's Mt been complied with, notice would have been fent to all the. Cullom Houfes in the kingdom, fo that Hub bard would have Peen that Ward no longer was owner of the (hip. It *as agreed that a verdia (hould pats for the Plaintiff, inbjea to the opinion of the Court upon thefe three points. OLD BAILEr. Yefferday fixteen prifoners were tried, two of whom were capitally convi&ed, via. William Varky, for !leafing notes and cafh to the amount of 701. the property of W. Wood, in his dwelling houfe. Francifar, a Tyrolefe, was put to the bar about• five o'clock. It was explained to him in French, that he was indietcd for having, on the 16th of (Moller lel, between the hours of five and fix in the evening, malicioufly and felonioufly fired a piftol, loaded with powder and ball, a; Richard Maryan. After the Jury were (worn in, the trial proceed ed, all the evidence being interpreted to the pri foner. Mr. Maryan (toted, that he is a goldfmith, at No. 44, Lombard-greet. His evidence - was to the following effect t On the 16th of Odober, about half paR five in the evening, the prifoner came in to my fhop, and placed himfelf about a yard from the door. There were two candles burning on the counter, though it was not then dark. I had jug rifen from my feat when I noticed the prifoner. I turned round, thinking it was a cullomer I was going to addrefs. He advanced a little farther into the (hop, and drew a pillol from his breaft with his right hand. He pointed it againft my body. The prifoner then Paid, " Your money." I cried " What e—He again faid" Your money." I laid I had none, and he again repeated " Your money," pointing the piftol nearer, and fpeaking in a more threatening tone of voice. After this lag demand and refufal Mr. Minet came into the Ihop, and paired the prifoner, when he pointed the piflol at him, and at me occafionally. I was go ing to call to Mr. Minet to feize him, but I was apprehenfive he would fire at him, I drew a little nearer to him. I believe the prifoner obferved my motion. He then &etched out his arm, and pointed the piftol at my head over the counter.— I threw my head back, flint my eyes, and the pif tol went off. My face was much burnt. I im mediately railed my head, turned round, and the prifoner ran off. I thought at firft that the con tents of the piftol had lodged in the upper part of my head, but putting my hand up to my fore head, I felt there was no blood—l inftantly pur fued the prifoner into the greet. I called out " flop thief," " that's he," 44 (top' him," and I came up with him within about an hundred yards of my own fhop door. The prifoner then placed his (boulder againft the wall, and pointed a piftol again at me. Several perfons milled in upon him, and a gentleman, Captain Stuart, took a piftol out of hisiright hand. It was loaded, but the cock was down, and it could not go off. The prifoner was endeavouring to -defend himfelf with the piftol. The Judge (Mr. SyLverrsa):—Are you cer tain this was the fame man who pointed the piftol at you in your fhop ? Yes; I kept my eyes con handy on him. When I came up, I faw him have only on' piftol in his right hand, which Captain Stuart .zok from him ; another was taken from him by another perfon. Q. Can you tell whether there was a hole made in a pannel of your (hop, and a ball found in con. fequence of the firing of the piftol ? There was. Q . ._ Are you fuze the hole was not there before ? Yes. Q._ In what direCtion was the piftol fired ? It was fired directly at me, and the ball went over my head, about one inch above it. The witnefs, on his crofs examination by Mr. STEPH EN S, Rated that he was very much flurried when this tranfatlion took place. When the pri foner came into the (hop, he left the door open; Lombard-greet is much frequented at that time of night, land there were probably a number of perfons then palling ; before Mr. Minet came in to the (hop, the prifoner did not attempt to fire the piftol ; he did not attempt to draw the trigger _ ; he did not know how near Mr. Minet was to the prifoner after he paired him, as he kept his eye on the face of the prifoner and the piflol ; he loft fight df Mr. Minet, but he faw the prifoner point ing the piftol at that gentleman before he loft fight of him, and afterwards towards .his right, which was in the direition in which Mr. Minet f100d... He could not Rate exactly the dimenfions of his (hop ; the whole area mig ht _be about the fi ze of the table of the Court. The counter is very nar row towards the door where the prifoner Mood ; the witnefs came towards the narrow part of the counter when the prifoner opened the door and advanced in the fhop ; the prifoner flood about a foot and a half from the counter ; from the time he advanced he flood into the fame place, but moved his body different ways as he pointed the pillol ; he did not know whether the prifoner, in moving thus, touched the counter with any part of his body. The height of the place in which the ball entered the pannel, was five feet eight inches from the floor ; the height of the witnefs as he then flood with his {hoes on, might be about five feet fix inches ; the hole made by the ball was, therefore, two inches above his head. Being anted whether he thought it poflible the prifoner could have miffed him if, in that fituation, he had de. fignedly pointed the piftol at his head ? he anfwer ed, that he thought PROVIDENCE alone had laved him, and that the ball mutt have hit him if he had not drawn back his head ; " But (laid the Conn. fel) that motion of your head did not make you (hotter." Mr. SYLVESTER fignified that it was not proper to enter into this fort of reafoning with a witnefs. The Jury had to judge of fads, not of opinions. The opinion which had juft been given, he was forty to fay, Went againft the prifoner, and was hotlile to the objet the Learned Counfel had in view. Being Aced, Whether the flath in the pan might not have finged his face, though the prifoner had purpofely fired his piftol up to the wainfcot ? The witnefs replied, that he did not think it could. , Mr. Francis Minet, of No. 8, Old Broad- flreet, merchant, faid—On Saturday, the t6th of 041 o• ber, about half paft five o'clock, I went to Mr. Maryan's fhop to get a tooth-pick cafe. I law a man Rending there, rather obliquely towards the counter. The door was neither open nor ihut.—
