LAW REPORT. COUX OF XING'S MUNICH, nar_iconas.t., MAY 20. MILKS V. 11000$. This was an action by the plaintiff, an attorney, against the defendant, the drawer of a bill of exchange, accepted by the defendant's father. About the time the bill became due the defendant and his father went to the plaintiff, and he WAS _requested to hold tl.e bill for a short time longer, until some property of his father's would be sold, when the bill should be paid. The only questions were, whether the request to the plaintiff to hold the bill and the piornise to pay were made by the defendant, andwhetherthe bill was presented when due? Evidence was produced that the bill had been presented at the re.idence of the lather, where the son also resided. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE stated, this was an action against the drawer of a bill of exchange; and by law, iC the bill was not presented when due, the drawer was release I from his liability, if he chose to avail himself of that defence. But if, knowing that the bill had not been presented when due, he waves that objection and prurni.es to pay, he' then becomes liable.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 581. lOs. GIBBONS Ve CIIAMBERT. This was an action nominally to recover thirty shares in the -British Annuity Company. The plaintiff agreed for the purchase when they were at a discount; but before the contract was completed by the t;ansfer of the shares they rose to a premium, and then the de.' fendant refused to fulfil his engagement. The action was substantially to recover the- difference in value b.:tween the discount and the premium. The broker's n les for the sa'e being tendered in evidence, Mr. F. Pomace objected that they could not be read, as they were not stamped. The Loan CAllir Jusysea allowed the objection, and decided tint thew shares were not " goods. wares, and merchandise, " es drictibed in the declaration ; and therefore noosnited the pialiE CAUTION TO WINE-NZIRCIIANTL.—MOLLOT V. lIIREDITH. This was an action brought by a wine-merchant. to recover from the defendant the sum of 291. 7s. 6d. for wine and spirits sold and delivered. It appeared that all the spirits were supplied in quanti ties less than a gallon, and The Loan Cum Jostles, therefore, directed the Jury to strike Out all those items in giving their verdict for the plaintiff. The Jury found for the plaintiff, making thew deductions. HARLIN V. HERRING, GRAHAM AND CO. • Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated, that this was an ac tion on a bill of :exchange, of which the defendants were acceptors. They wete engaged in extensive spe- ' culattons in the New World, and in raising money for the South American Government. In 1823 they, had conceived a project of purchasing mines, and for that purpose sent out, as confidential agents, Myon, Mouray, and Esther, who drew the bills on the defendants, — True it was the defendants did not sign their names to them as acceptors, but an acceptance might be by parole as well as by writing ; a promise to pay amounted,, fn law, to an acceptance. As to the fact of the promise, it was for the Jury to decide from evidence. The facts comected with it were briefly as follows :—Mr. Esther, the confidential agent of the defendants, having em barked in a mining speculation on their account, blr rowed 50,000 dollars, as a security for which he gave 14 bills of exchange, 'amounting to 11,4581. 6s. Bd. drawn on the defendants. Shortly after this, they opened a negotiation with the United Mexican Mining Association, and sold to them the mines which Mouray and Esther had purchased on their account, for the .50,000 dollars. The United Mexic.n Association, knowing that these bills of exchange bad been given as security for the purchase-nsoney of the mines, undertook to pay . the amount when due; but the defendants said, that as the bills bad been drawn on themselves, it would be more becoming that they should take them up. To this the United Mexican Associa tion acceded, and actually paid the amount of the puiChase- money to the defendants. The Learned Ser. germ contended that this amounted to an express un dertaking to pay the amount of the bills. He under stood that the defence set up would be, that when the bill bad been presented, in January last, for acceptance, and refused, the plaintiff had protested it for non-accept-, ante, and therefore in law he was ft( t entitled to recover from them as acceptors; but .be maintained, that pre vious to that time, the defendants had accepted it by parole, and this they could not waive by any act which the plaintiff had done through ignorance ; at all events, if he could not recover on the bill of exchange, he was entitled to a verdict for money had and received by the defendants to their use. Several witnesses were called to prove the facts of the case. SOrjeatit aildressed the Jury on behalf of the defend ants. lie gated that the bill having been protested for non accept ance, the defendants were net liable as acceptors • and that though they were bound by the acts of their agents, the y ought not to be sued as drawers. The Loan Cow Jostsrat said. that as there was a large sum of money at stake, and no question of the fact respecting the liability of the defendants, a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff, sub • ject to the !pinion of the Court as to the legality of the mode of suing for it.—This was accoediogly acceded to. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAT so. FISHILa I. STOCEDA LS. . This was an action for a libel published in the Ninth Nuinber of the klensairs of 'Harriett Wilson. Serjeant VAUGH4kI said, that the plaintiff was an Attorney resident in Dorsetsi lire, who bi ought this action to redeem his character from foul imputations cast on it in the publication in question; and, in so doing, be thought be could ii-e do greater good *, his country. It was impossible for the Jury to live in this country, and not to know that this work was of so scandalous and abusive a nature, that every legal exertion ought to be made to suppress it. The libel in question was introduced in the 9th Number of the Memoirs of Har riett Wilson, thus.—"r An old Irish cracked General asked me if I knew Fisher, the Lady-killer God forbid,' said f. •He is just the man for you,' replied the General, for be is a practical sharp lawyer, and will put you up to a plan of making that vile shabby Duke treat you better—lie is a very gay man, the beauty of Devonshire, six feet tall, and has black eyes,'" &c. She then went on to state that she had writ.en to, him on professional business, and had received an an sa er, requesting her to call at his chambers after dark, be would then be alone, Scc. She then commented on this fabricated letter, designating it as an attack on her chastity, and censuring the impudence of a dirty, nasty, six feet high country lawyer,, in attempting to make love to her. Mr. Piblier nas also introduced as having said to the General, that though he had heard a great deal about her he did not think much of her, for she had not a good point. The Learned Serjeant said, that the plaintiff had a large family and an amiable wif e, wh9 could not avoid feeling affected by this publication, and that lie had thought proper to proceed in this inoc'e of action to give the detendant an opportunity of putting a justification oar record; his neglecting to do that was st meant evidence of the falsehood of the imputation. Ti.onras 111itchelson deposed, that he had purchased the Num ber containing the libel at kir. Stoekdale's. John Alarsltall peeved the marriage of ; the plaintiff to 17915,• be had read the libel in question, and thought it alluded to Itlt.l Fisher; there was no otheeperson of the name In that neighbourhood. ►Mr. Serjeant SPANNEY, for the defendant, told the Jury that they should leave but of their consideration every knowledge of the book except what was contained ' in the number before them ; it contained nothing of the nature of an imputation on the plaintiff, for the person there represented was Charles Feeder ick Fisher,whereas, the plaintiff on record was Hugh Evans Fisher, who had no tight to appropriate to himself the description al luded to. If he was a rain mart, the honour of having been libelled in such good . Company as that of 'Dukes and Marquises should be gratifying to him. But whe ther it was a drama, or taken for a romance, or al. luded to tome Mr. Fisher that lived in the times of the civil war, There was no evidence; but it was foolish in the plaintiff to suppose that it alluded to himself; the Jury most have read in the Spectator, where some pragmatical man wrote down the Whole Doty of Man, and applied different parts of it to every man in the pa rish. This stewed the inclination of mankind to form ideas of other persons; and so will Mr. Fisher, who fan cied, as he had been six feet high, and had black eyes, that none could be meant but himself. The Learned Serjeant here indulged in a strain of ridicule, whereby he amused the Court for a considerable time, anJ con-' eluded by telling the Jury that they ought not to en courage an Attorney, whose object in coming forward was to specula - s in damages. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that this was a fertile, but not a fit subject for ridicule; it was for the Jury, who were married men, to say whether a publication, imput ing to a man who had a wife and c' ashen, that he was in the habit of loving every pretty woman he could see, but was too impotent to satisfy his pas,ion, should be let pass with impunity-. The plaintiff was represented in that book in the manner in which an ancient poet re presented a lewd woman—least:la non oiris— independent of the injury of his moral character it was calculated to effect him professionally; for what family would employ an attorney to make marriage settlements if they believed him guilty of the conduct here imputed to him ?—The Learned Judge c ncluded an eloquent charge by recoasmeuding the Jury to give such da mages as would operate to check such. publications for the Intuse.—"Damages 7001.

" And where was it found, after all?" asked the Magistrate. " Why, Sir," replied Mary, "it slipped down my throat sure enough, and"—but we cannot give Mary's account of the process by which she recovered it ; and moot content outsehes with stating that she was discharged, and Mr. Watson walked away with his sovereign in his pocket again, as comfortably as if nothing had happened to either of them. A long train of finely-dressed Ladies and Gentlemen walked into the Office, all interested in a case of assault which one of the young females was alleged to have committed upon a grave elderly. • personage of the other sex. Moreover, Mr. TWd Pratt, the-Bat., rister, and Mr. Millard, a Solicitor, appeared for the defendant, and some Professional Gentlemen were expected on the other side: but Mr. Alderman Brown, who is the very pink of puactuality and expedition, having dispatched the whole business of the day, be tween twelve o'clock and a few Minutes after, except the aforesaid ease of assault, then proceeded to call it on, ere the complainant's counsel had arrived. The Lady accused was accommodated with a seat inside the bar; and so highly was curiosity excited in the office, you might have heard a pin fall at the opening of the business. However, after alt, the mighty affair resolved itself into this :—The parties are co. occupiers of one house; and the Lady, in ascending the staircase the other day, sneered at the absence of oil-cloth thereupon; and while passing an apartment wherein the complainant's wife was lying "in the straw," she uttered the monosyllabic Miami !" in a tone so pemliar, that it was regarded as tantamount to calling " Mrs. Finikin." Presently the Lady returned down stairs, and an altercation between ber and the complainant ensued, in which the husband of the defendant came in and bore a part. The turmoil ended in the fair defender attempting to put in twe muzzlers upon her wordy assailant, one of which bits only, however, told upon his chops, the other stopped by the balluster. Farther than t b h e i i s n t r he Alderman would not hear a word, though there was great eagerness on both sides to shove in at least a for • mere; be straightway dismissed the complaint, recommending the • Lady to believe she had not triumphed, and the Gentleman not s. indict for the assault, although he was perfectly at liberty to do We BOW-STREET.

The officers inter fered to prevent this, and he flogged them with his whip; but Ballard plied his ash plant upon his shins so vigorously that he war soon glad to desist.
