LAW I.%7ELLiGINCA: COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 1-- ' This•day the Lord Chancellor finished' Big turd Seal after term. • PRINCE V. DOWNS AND CO. i -.- i c atter toe Trani of 7 11 Ner RSA* SCA it .up to e French, He was British Consul acknowledged as s h atCora The Qovernmeneof Codas not Government of Russia, but of the lonian Repub. Ile. The Russian !Leg wa., not flying there, but tai flag was that et the lonian Repnblic. Lord ELLENROROUQII „said, he should not, ender ' these circumstances, receive this sentencrin evidence; and the Defendants, if they had any case, must iely on the blockade ; but they could not prove that the Captain of the vessel, an American, had Any notice of the blockade. • Mr. PARK observed, that the distinction had been taken by Sir W. Scott, where the country in which the sentence was pronounced, did not belong to the Power whose Court pronounced it, but was a co-bel, ligerent, then the sentence was oonclusive, but not otherwise. . Lqrd ELLEXBOROIIOII said, he should always hold the authorities of Foreign - Courts to condemn ships as prize, to the utmost strictness of proof, when of- fered in evidence to affect the rights of third parties in a Court of Justice in this country. Indeed there were some of the most enlightened minds in" this country, who thought they ought never to be receiv ed in evidence at all, on such occasions. Lord Thur low never met him without saying so ' • his mind was full upon it; he said it was an anomaly in the Law, and ought never to have been ajlowed to have crept into it. His Lordship said he agreed with ,Lord Thurlow upon that subject, and he should die in that faith ; but the usage of nations, perhaps, required, certainly authority - had decided, that these sentences sllould be received in evidence, and be conclusive on all things on which they operated—a Doctrine, to give way to which was sufficiently painful in many ins ances, but he should never consent to extend it an • iota beyond its letter. Here the Russians were mere visitors at Corfu, and had no more right to pronounce this sentence of condemnation than he, had ; and . therefore the Plaintiff was entitled to a Verdict. In this case an injunction was applied for to restrain she Defendants from bringing an ejectment against the Plaintiff, and depriving him of the possession of certain mills in the neighbourhood of the town of He reford, occupied by him. • Sir S. ROMILLY, Mr. HART, and Mr. Rungx.e, stated, that the Plaintiff had some time since been rendered Bankrupt, but had compounded with his personal creditors, by paying them fifteen shillings in the pound. To get quit of a mortgage credit* over certain mills belonging to him in the neighbour hood of Hereford, that he might be enabled to re sume the possession of them and work them, so as in time to pay his creditors in full, the Plaintiff applied for the assistance of the Defendant, who, it was ma terial to a due consideration of the present question to observe, stood in a variety of different relations to the Plaintiff, then bankrupt—he was the petitioning creditor—he was one of the Commissioners under the commission—his nephew and partner was the Solicitor to the commission—and Mr. Holloway, also his partner, was the Assignee. Standing in tbese different relations to the bankrupt, the Defendant, Mr. W. Downs, agreed to advance money to redeem a mortgage to the extent of 41001. which the Plain tiff had granted to a Mr. Boddenham, to which he accordingly acquired ri6t. The Defendant, in his answer, indeed stated, that this was not all, but that, in addition to the mortgage-debt, he had agreed to advance a farther sum, to make up 48001. in conside ration of which he was to become absolute purchaser of the mills, &c. in question, the Plaintiff being in the mean time to enter into possession, and to con tinue tenant, at a rent of 2451. a-year, besides hav ing a right to redeem the mills, if in his power to repay the sum advanced for them, at any time within the space of four years. This, the Learned Counsel submitted, was utterly inconsistent with the original object of the Plaintiff, as admitted by the Defendant himself, namely, to get possession of his subjects for the purpose of extricating himself, and paying his creditors in full. The Defendant himself, in his an swer, admitted that the Plaintiff had agreed to ex pend considerable sums in improvements, aed that the mills, &c. were worth.double the rent charged ; yet with the same breath he would have his Lord ship to believe, that the Plaintiff had consented to sell to him subjects capable of yielding a rent of 5001. per annum for 48001. Supposing this atatement, however, to be true, the 7001. had never been advanced, nor had the conveyance ever been executed. It was only on a draft of a conveyance being tendered, in which there was no right of redemption similar to that spe cified by the Defendant himself, that the Plaintiff, and that too within the four years,.filed the present bill, in which the mills in question were sought to be redeem ed. The defendant could therefore be considered only in the light of a mortgagee, and being already in pos session, in as far as he admitted that he had regu larly received the rents, could have no right to bring an ejectment against the Plaintiff. Mr. RICHARDS and Mr. Coors, for the defendant, contended, that, in the present stage of the question, there was no necessity for inquiring whether the De fendant was the equitable purchaser of the subjects or not. The only question was, whether the mort gager, being himself tht tenant, w •as entitled to say to the mortgagee, that he (the mortgagee) was in possession :1 consequence of his receiving the rent, however inconsiderable, which the mortgager might chance or might choose to pay ; and that the mortga gee was not entitled to enter into possession, at least LO the effect of procuring an adequate rent. They submitted, at all events, that the Plaintiff, in order to prevail in his present application, must pay into Court the whole sum advanced by the Defendant on account of these subjects. Sir S. ROMILLY, in reply, contended that the de mand last urged could never be maintained while the Defendant attempted to plead in his character ofpur chaser. Whenever he chose to wave that character, and to assume his proper one of mortgagee, the Plaintiff should meet him by instantly redeeming. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, generally speaking, the mortgager could not be ent itled; as tenant, to maintain himself in possession against the mortgagee, who was at liberty to make the most of the subjects he could. The defendant in this case, however, froM declining to make his election as mortgagee, depri ved the mortgager of the privilege of redeeming. In this situation, the most equitable thing he could do for all parties would be to grant the injunction, the Pjaintiff finding security in the event of the Defen dant h&ng ultimately declared the purchaser, to pay what might he reckoned a fair rent for the subjects, and also to yield possession of them without suit, writ of error, or otherwise. Verdict for the Plaiatiff—Damages to the amount of the Pvlicy: COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, ULY 30. COj.DSMID v. FARQUHAR AND CO. This was an action on a bill of exchange, for 7381. drawn by a merchant in Aberdeen, on a mercantile house in Oporto, endorsed to the Defendants, Messrs. Farquhar and Morris, and by them to the Plaintiff. The bill was dated the 28th of August, 1807, pay'ible at 30 days sight, and it was protested for non pay ment of the 30th December, having been transmitted to Oporto, through Gottenburgh, Amsterdam, and Hamburgh. Mr. Serjeint VAUGH AN, for the Defendant, resisted payment, on the ground that all diligence had not been used in procuring payment of the bill in ques tion ' • hut that, on the contrary, instead of transmit ting the same direct to Oporto, where the port was open to us at the time, the Plaintiff, for the sake of a more profitable exchange to himself, had caused it to make a circuit through places under the dominion of our enemies. In this way, instead of reaching. Oporto within three weeks after the Bth September, as it might have done, it did not arrive there till the end of December, when the place vas in the posses sion of the French ; while, it could be proved, that bills drawn in a similar form, and a month later, on the same home, transmitted in a regular manner, had been paid. Sir J. MANSFIELD regarded this as entirely a ques tion of law. It was one, at the same time, with which he was unacquainted, and as to which, therefore, he could not instruct the Jury. He recommended it, however, to them, to find generally for the Plaintiff; he reserving to the Defendant the grand objection as to want of due diligence, and also a subordinate ques tion as to a jotting on the bill, desiring' the holders, in case of need, to apply to M. Wessemar, by which the Defendant would be liberated from exchange and re-exchange, as to which, however, no proof had been brought. The .fury seeming to be of opinion, that, agreeably to the practice of merchants, all due diligence had not been used; Sir J. MANSFIELD left it with them to find in one way or the other ; declaring, however, that he would save either party, so as to enable them, however the verdict should be, to move that a verdict on the other side be entered. The Jury retired at a quarter before four o'clock. About five o'clock, the Chief Justice rose, the Sittings before him being then finished. Soon after the Jury begged a conversation with Mr. Cox, the Clerk at Nisi Prius ' • but parted with him, still disagreeing as to their verdict. They once or twice in the interval wished a Juror to be withdrawn ; and finally, at a quarter past eight o'clock, returned a verdict, that if the bill had been presented at Oporto in due time, it s would have bein paid.

'`HP Advantage the Public must always derive from regularly educated prt fessional men directing almost exclusively their studies to one sp.•cies of malady, was never more clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which has attended the administration of their new remedy, and the extraor dinary cures it has performed. For a long series of years, :slessrs. Cu aa r r and Co. Surgeon formerly in his Majesty's service, have made the Venereal Disease the particular object of their invests. ration, and are happy in having di%covereda medicine superior to mercury in the cure of that complaint; it is sufficient to observe that the efferts of this remedy are diametrically opposite to those of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige of the virus, in Its most coofirmed stages, yet it does not in the least injure the constitution ; on the contrary, it enovates the system in all its natural functips, promotes appetite, and facilitrtes di gestion: thus instead of reducing a strong and vigorous constitu lion to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre• serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores a weak and debilitated nest to its natural strength and vigour. Number. less instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy of this medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual'. ' corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding from ass excess': of conjugal or illicit pleasure, or from the more insidious, though not leis destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of both sexes in a certain pernicious habit. Amidst the melancholy variety of disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, there ate, none more afflicting than that „listressing •state of debility and de ficiency which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state ; the unhappy sufferer broods Over his misfortune, ashamed to seek re lief, until he is reduced to such a state of weakness as to render life oppressive. To such persons it must be a consoling reflec tion to know, that they may now, by a new infallible mode of . treatment, be restored to that giratest of ail human blessings, strong, manly and vigerotts constitution. In all cases of debility, deficiency, from whatever came arising, as weligts in every species of venereid Infection, Messrs.
