WIIITINOUSI AND ANOTHIR. This caufe had been tried at the Lancafter .AlGzes before Mr. Juftice Roos', and a •erdi@ had gone againft the Defendants, in the fum of s t tot. Mr. Serjeant Cockell had obtained a rule to %hew ensile for a new ,trial, or for a nonfuit on behalf of the Defendants ; and it was argued, on the fame fide, by Mr. Serjeant Marfball, Sir Vicar' Gibbs, and Mr. Littledale ; and for the plaintiffs, by Mars. Parke, Topping, and Scarlett. The caufe arofe on a quantity of fugars, a hich were fold by auftion on the soth of September tall ; on the 2td they were burnt in the King's warehoufes; and the doubt was. whe ther, ander the peculiar circumfiances of this fale, the property fo deftroyed •efted in the Defendants ? If the property was transferred to them by the anaian, then the •erdift was correa ; it it yet remained with the Plaintiffs, it wasotherwife. Mr. PAM now Paid, that fome difficulty arofc on the trial, on account of the religious profeffion of a Mr. Sill, who was a Quaker, and it was not always very eafy to ertrad information from perfons of that perfuafion. From this gentleman, however, on the prefent occafion little affinanee was wanted ; for the Learned Counfel relied the validity of this fale on the cafe of Simon,. Montevois (Sir William Blackflone's Reports, s. 399) ; and he contended, that the cafe of Hanfon o. Mayor (6 EaR, 614) did not overturn that authority. He Paid, that the note of the name of the Defendants on the catalogue, was a memorandum in writing, required by the Statute of Frauds (29 Car. 11. Rat. 3.) the auftioneer being an authorized agent. Next, that the buyer having taken the (ample, had accepted a part of the thing fold, which, under ano ther claufe, brought the contra& within the flatorte. Sir VICARY Grass relied on the cafe of Stansfield and Johnfon (Efpinaire t. tot.), tried before Lnrd Chief Jußice ETRs : alfu on a cafe in Equity, in the 7 Vefey, Init. 345 ;and yet more confidently on the plain and obvious mearaog of the Statute of Ft auds. He raid, that the memorandum of the AuCtioneer was nothing, becaufe he was not an authorized agent between the parties, and that the delivery of the Imall f p a a rn a plo f t c h f e M b id ulk n ez i r hi f o re r c h er e r c ifidd nD e a r r c ila t i f c n e o d f e r l i i t v e ery of a Ranee. tha li t 'h t e w C o u q t u t :I .1 :l on s T s ar c t o , f i e f) t i j z ti 7 d a gr r e ca tit i ,: n br o e f r v thede) Statute of Frauds ; t li, Whether what paged between the parties at the time of the fait and the writ ing of the Aullioneer upon the catalneue, was fuch a memo randum, as, within the pr ovifiiins of the AO, would eonflitute a valid tale t and, id, if the buyer could be Paid to haveaccepted pat t of the goods fold, by taking a (ample of half a pound of ;he fugars, fo as to com plete the contra& ? In the cafe nt Sim •n v. Monte vois, in Burrow's and Sir Wm. Black'lone's Reports, Lord Mansfield had laid down the law, that auttinns In general were not within the Statute of Frauds ; but, independently of thefe high authorities, he was of opinion that they were included within its provilinw, although a memorandum in writing was abfolutely necefjary, in order to make the contrad binding between the parties. It would be dangerous to break in upon a rule, which would affea all tales among brokers for their principals. Jt appeared In Lordfbip that the writing in this cafe was not fuch a memorandum, as would make the contra& binding, it was a mere flatement of the Auetioneer, of the quantity, which could, in no degree, affea the cafe, and in which no terms were mentioned. As to the next p _int, whether any part-delivery hadtaken place. his Lortifitip could not but confider it as a portion of the goods fold ; it might be a (ample of quality, but it was delivered as a part of the purchafe. In the arguments, another point had been likewile made, whether the fate, under any of the eircumttances. were valid, as the goods were not in a fituation m be given to the buyer ? In oppofition to this difficulty, the Chief Pak: cited the cafe of Tiler v. Robills (Salkeld t 13), where it was laid down by Lord Hot.r, that in a cafe, circumflanced like the prefent, there could be no pretence for aliening that the fate was incomplete. In confequence of this determination, the rule frr a new trial made abfolute. JOYS KING 4. HOPKINS AND WIFS• In addition to what we have formerly Rated in our Paper, the following teas were difclofed in this very fingular cafe. It appeared by the affidavit of Sarah Perfal Knott, that in the month of Oflober, 1803, being pregnant, (he applied to Mr. Hough, an atm chew, to attend her. The child was born, and was baptized on the 28th of November, 1603. From the birth, to the 2tB of Augufl lall, the infant continued with the mother, but on that day, Peter and Mary Hopkins leafletted themfelves of the child in the fol lowing way t:-Thcy came to her, and defired her to drink with them, Mary Hopkins taking the child 'in her arms, with a bottle to procure tome fpirits. She foon returned, but without the child, which the Paid was loft. Mrs. Knott being difappointed in her leach for the infant, went into the country, where the received a letter, on the 28th of the fame month, informing her, that the child was with Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins, at the houfe of Mr. Harman, the father of the latter. In the beginning of September, Mrs. Knott came to town, and immediately went to the houfe of Mr. Harman, when the claimed the child as her own, and Mary H opkins inflently delivered it to her, in the pretence of Mr. and Mrs. Harman, and Mr. Hopkins. The latter raid, at the fame time— " I am glad your child is returned to you," and Mrs., Hopkins laid, " My finer, Mrs. Nicholfon, had given it out, that the child was her daughter's." Mr. Gaaaow laid, " The child fu rellored was Mary Knott's, and the infant of the daughter of Mrs. Nicholfon is dead. The child remained with the soother until the moth of January heft, when, about two o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Hopkins came to the houfe where Mrs. Knott was, accompanied by two foldiers, and asked the mother if the had not a child with her at nurfe ?" Mr. Jullice LAWIIINCI..-." Does this appear on the affidavit of Mary Perfal Knott ?" Mr. GARKOW.-•" Yes, My lord. To that Tier don Mrs. Knott had (wetly time to reply in the ne gative, when the foldiers broke open the door, and burg into the room where the child was : Mrs. Hop.. kins directly hurried away with the infant, which has, to the prefent moment, remained in her power. It is evident that this is not the child of Mrs. Nicholfon's daughter, as that had a dark complexion, and dark hair ; whereas this child is fair, with flaxen hair.— There is an affidavit of Mr. Hough, which confirms many of the lies depofed to by Mat y Pedal Knott, and greatly tends to to ellablilh the identity of the child." Lord Ezzviaoitooon - " It teems, that in this cafe the mother, or rather the perlon called the mo ther, for I will not look to leer Tights in that charac ter • I fay it appears, that Mrs. Knott had the child in her poffeffion, undifturbed for a long time i—flie was then deprived of it by Itratagem ; the regains the object of her fearch, until the is again difp oll of it. Then prefuming all in favour of the party fo quietly having had poffeflion,we think, that in the exer cite of our authority, we ought a require, that tl.e child be put into the fame polfcffion, leaving the tight to the infant to be decided by the Corot (of Chan cel)) to which the fill-ice properly belongs." MR. PI'MAISION. A perfon of a very fingular appearance, towards the concluhon of the bilfinefs of the day, role in the Jury box, and intreated permiffion to addref► their Lot dfhips. He faid he was an hilh Barritier, and with getlieulation the mull animated, Wool alto the molt extravagant, proclaimed the mi►fortunes of his pall hißory, adding, that he had every where pre ferved his honour and charatier, which wete dexter 'to him than exiltence. He faid he had been com mitted to the Fleet irregularly by one of the Leartted Judges of the Common Pleas (Mr. Jullice litooka), that the proceeding, was fuperfedabte, and on the facts Rated in the affidavit, he applied 1.1 , a Rule to (hew cattle, adding, that he would not have petfunally done this in a way fo contrary to the °Cage of the Court, had not Mr. Gat row. whom he had before employed as his Counfel, refufed to appear in his be. halt. On prefeming a paper, purporting to be his affi. davit to the Court, it was difenvered, that it had not been (worn. Mr. M'Mahnn infified, that he had made oath to it at the proper race i but if any doubt were entertained, he would immediately give it that lane lion in the pretence of their Lordthip.. He then in (lenity hurried down the Reps to the flour of the Court, and fw,re so the infirument.—Rule granted. &meeting took place nn Mond.ty laft at Liver ponl. to confider the propriety of altering the prefent hours of attendance on the Exchange. which here been gradually protraited till five in the afters uon. it was refolved, in future, to commence bufinefa at ore o'clock, and to conclude it at three. „. . • t t a 1 s ••• is t ip IC Lis D- C.
