lw .-1- LAW IIV7 ELLIGE‘CE. We are regirdied to correft an error in our re port of the trial, BISHOP v. HAWK ES. Lord Er. LIN SOROU H did not fay that the Defendant's con dua was calculated to excite fufpicion. PALACE COURT, DFC, 17. FINNEGAN V. ALLPN. The Plaintiff is a tavlor, who, in the mirk of his trade, credited the Defendant with articles to the am.lunt of 271. and upwards. It appeared, the Defendant had dealt with the Plaintiff in the two feveral capacities of Cylonger and (Jeri ; in the later he credited him with ten guineas for his trouble in potting up his ledger, where, unfortu• natelv for the Defendant, an entry of his own in the Plaintiff's books proved 141. los. againa him, for which the Jury gave him a verdie. KEELEY V. JAMIESON. This was an aaion brought againfl the Defen dant for the balance due on a Bill of Exchange for 251. 6s. which the declaration charged at 71. gs. 6d.

This was an anion brought by the Affignees of one Blakely, a bankrupt, to recover the value of a cargo of coals fold by the Defendants, who were brokers to the Bankrupt ; the money arifing from the tale was not received till after the Corn million of Bankruptcy had been fued out, and was then kept by the Defendants on account of a debt due to them. The Plaintiff alto endeavoured to prove an aft of bankruptcy long precedent to the time there coals were tent to the Defendant ; but in this retpta the proof failed. Lord ELLFusosotrcit was of opinion, that as Blakely had given the Defendants a power to fell previous to his bankruptcy, no aft of bankruptcy committed between the time of the contras to fell, and the receiving the money op account of the Pale, could at all take away from the Defendant the right which he had of receiving the money, and applying it in difcharge of a debt due to him.— He, however, contented to referve that point, if the Plaintiff's Counfel tbould think proper to move the Court upon it. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, DEC. so. FENTON V. •TKINSON, AND co. This aaion was brought to recover the whole or part of the fum of isool. which, according to the Plaintiff's allegation, had been unjuftly withheld from him by the Defendants, to whofe care k bad been configned by the Plaintiff's debtor in Ame- rica. The material circumliances of the cafe were as follow :—.Edward Edwards, a merchant in Phila. delphia, was indebted a very confiderable fum of money to feveral honks in England, among which were thole to which the Plaintiff and Defendants belong. Atkinfon and Co. to whom Edwards was indebted (even or eight dioufand pounds, were the principal creditors, and to liquidate the debt due to them, he bad agreed to make over to them the half of the valuable cargo of the Chip Louifa, which was at that time on a voyage, but daily expeaed home. In the mean time, however, hav- ing in confequence of frame arrangements with an ether boufe in Philadelphia, got poffefflon of a lead named the Bilboa, together with her cargo, be fent her to the river Thames, with inftruaions to the boufe of I3ambridge and Co. to difpofe of the veffel and cargo, to indemnify themfelves from the produce, and confign the furplus to the De fen lams in the prefent anion, to whom he at the fame time tranfmitted orders to place 30001. of thisfurplus to their own account, and give tsool. to the Plaintiff. The cargo not fetching the er peaed price, the whole overplus given to the De fendants did not amount to more than aoool. who, on this account, did not confider themfelves as under obligations to pay any part of that fum into the hands of the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff conceiving that he had a right to the whole of the fum fpecified by his debtor, or at leaft to a fair proportion, determined to bring the cafe before the Court for a deciflon. As 30001. was the dividend affigned to the Defendants, and !soot. to the Plaintiff, although the produce of the cargo fell Ilion of the expeled price, the Plaintiff concluded that he was in jurlice entitled to a third part of that price. The Jury, however, immediately re turned a verdia for Defendants. HOI/Pilt V. LORIMER. This anion was brought to recover a fum of money the Plaintiff had been defrauded of, by rec. iving a falfe charaner from the Defendant, of a per Gin who had applied to him for credit. It appeared that a Mr. Prefton Graham went to the Plaintiff, who was a dealer in leather, and gave him an order for various goods ; for which he required fix months credit. The Plaintiff °b la red, that it was rieceffai y, before he gave him credit, he rnould know who the perfon was who bad recommended him. Mr. Graham immedi ately told him to apply to the Defendant, Mr. Lorimer, who had long known him, and would give a fatisfanory chat atter him. The Plaintiff went to the honk of th 4 Defendant, the Strand, for the purpofe of making the pepper enquiry, and was told by the Defendant alit he had long known Graham, who was a very Ilona man, and might very fafely be trufled with gpods to the amount of cool. or upwards, as he *id engaged in hufinefs d *lnch emolument, for a'tonitnercial boufe in America. In confequence eJihis infor ?nation, the credit was given, and the geode deli. vexed, to a confiderable amount, into the bands of Graham, who fhortly after (hipped them lot Hambnrgh, and kft the kingdom. Serjeant Cocims afferted, that if a man was de fronded of his property by the mifreprefentatior of another, the injury Curtained by filch perfon immediately became the round of an anion. It hins,that the ntwat acquainted at the time 1 England from America, where he bad been in a (late of infolvency ; if, therefore, there esiffed in his mind a previous knowledge of his inability to account for the purchafe of the Plaintiff's goods, the Jury would not hefitate in giving their Verdid in favour of his client. Serjeant EPH IRD contended, that no finifler motive had induced the Defendant to make a falfe reprefentation of Graham's charalter ; he had done II) entirely from ignorance, and from his defire of (peaking favourably of a relation, whole brother, Col. Graham, had married the Defen dant's Lord ALvstitiv addreffed the Jury upon the evidence, and was of opinion fufficient tellimony had not been given to prove that the Defendant had aded from malice, or from a motive tending direaly to injure the Plaintiff.—A Verdict was therefore given for the Defendant.

On Saturday a young man was examined before Mr. GRAHAM, charged with defrauding the exe cutors of the late Mr. Hill, pawnbroker, of Brew er-ftreet, and Charing-crofs.

The prifoner having but 601. a year, and living in very great ftyle, the executors ftrongly furpekied he was not concluding himfelf as he thould do, and they took an account of the flock feveral times lately, which led to his deteetion, and he was taken into cuftody.

The prifoners are to undergo another examination. On Monday fe'nnight, the body of a female child, about ten months old, was found drowned in the Canal, near Paddington; and from its arm being broken, and the !boulder diflocated, it was fuppoted Tome violence had been ufed before it was thrown into the water.

He pofitively declared, that he never knew what was become of either of them, until he heard the latter was found drowned; he admitted that be had made no enquiry after his wife, and laid that they had parted, becaufe Ike was very much given to drinking. This account being materially contradiCted by Tome perfons who knew them, be was ordered by Sir Lemurs FORD to remain in cutiody, and the body to be fearched for, h ch was by Tome bargemen found on Friday afternoon, about a mile from the place where the etild was difcovered; and yefterday he underwent long examination, and was remanded for Mop day nest.

Ten years have I devoted my pradlice to the exclu fi ve treat. I meet of THREE DISORDERS, and the fuccefsful refult of my plan gives me additional ardour to oppofe as far as I am able the ravages of thofe complaints which are the moil import ant in the catalogue of human infirmities. After initiation into every branch as an Army Surgeon, I formed a with at an early period of Practice to rcfcueindivida , als from the ignorance of uneducated Men, or the equally dan i serous precipitancy of general PraEtitioncrs. The THREE DISORDERS, to Ilk cure of which I have de voted my attention, comprize every (pecks of VENEREAL INFECTION, whether of a recent or long duration.--adly. All kinds of DEBILITY. whether arifing from the habits of Schoolboys, er the indulgence of mature age, and laltly that de rangement of the lyttern in Women which is called BARREN NESS or STERILITY. Numerous Meares are the mink of ignorance or bane in th treatment of a Pimple Gonorrhea, and it not unfrequently hap pens that the feeds of Life arc poiforied by the indifcretion of an unguarded hour. By a fuperior method fuch complaints are eafily cured, and even where others have failed, I trult that I may prcfume to offer a radical re-eitablifhment. Few, however, are the cafes of complicated diftrefs in the diforder, compared with the calamitous fituations of Men, who from indulgence in a SOLITARY VICE, or the prevalent Gate ties of a fafhionable Life, acquire that Rate of Debility which s the unavoidable confequence of fuch pernicious habits.

If the rites of Bacchus or Venus have begun to reduce manly vigour, much anxiety will be prevented by au early counteradtion of this languid state, and in theft cafes no great difficulties will occur But where this Deficiency has for years exiftcd, a proper Per feverance is indifpenfibly requifite to revive the flumbernig fparks of Life, and to re-animate the Conaitution.
