LAW !RFZLL!GINCt. Cot= DSC.I. KW% Awn Anonym P. seuvr. This seem mat Aeons& to recover from the De fendant the Affeeenr• of the price of four tons hemp, which they bought some months ago. The Plaintiffs, who reside is Wiltshire, called on the De fendant, and bought the hemp, when a sort of con tract was aeesd into, at six months credit. The parties not being acquainted with each other; a refer ence was given ; but in the mean time the article enhanced in , value, and the defendant refused to ch.!, vet it. The case proceeded thus far, when it was agreed that it should be referred to Mr. Gaselee. OXERRAM v. CUSINtNGHANI AND ANOTHER. This action was brought by the plaintiff, against the defendants, for the sale of a horse, which proved to be unsound. On the 111 h of June last; a 6. - 4 of hones took place at Brooke's Mes, Ix - longing :to the husband and father of the defendants ,• the plain. tiff bought the horse at 60 guineas, and on taking him home, he found sand-cracks in the hoofs of one of his legs, which had been carefully filled up with a cement, Oiled and blackened over, merely as a de-1 ception. On this discovery, he returned the" animal , to Mr. Aldridge, the auctioneer, Who resold him for lA. 13s. These facts ben peos'ed, the Jay re turned a verdict under his lalledship's &maims for the plaintiE of Lt3l. I ls; . . LEAVER IP. LANE. The plaintiff agreed with the defendant to take off his hands a public-house at Rointord, known by the name of the Fox and Hounds, for 4051. and take possession of it on the 6th of October last, undo- a y of 1001. Haring paid down XL be was anxi ous to keep his word, he went down with his broker and attorney on the day specified, but the defendant was not ready ; he therefore brought this action to recover the deficit and expellees. On the part of the defendant it was proved by Mr. Eveling, of Messrs. Hanbury . and Co.'s Brew house, that the plaintiff came to him on the 27th of September, and stated that he was afraid be could not raise the money by the 6th of October, as the, three per cent. consols were shit, and he would not be able to sell out. Witness agreed on the part of the Defendant to prolong the time till the 13th, and at his request wrote to & defendant to send up• the agreement to make the memorandum on the back ofi it to that effect . — The Plaintiff was nonsuited. , 1 HARXIS v. I.OVIII This was an action for goods sold and delivered. to which the Defendant pleeded, that he was baptised Louis Augusam Pelletier, and consequently had been irregularly sued as Louis Pelletier. Upon this fact issue was joined, and the Defendant was called upon to prove that he was so christened. • This however.] he was not prepared to do, though he produced a variety of official appointments from the late King of , France, in Which he was described sis Louis Augustus Pelletier. This, however, was not deemed su ffi cient, as the issue lay upon the Defendant's being so bap tized ; of course the Plaintiff was called upon to pro duce proof of his debt. Mr. GAastow then observed, that he was simply 'instructed as to the issue, and could give no evidence of the debt; upon which a verdict for ls. was entered for the Plaintiff, and his debt still remains u4iliqui dated. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DECEMBER 1. GRUNDY o. HVMPHIM. In this case the Plaintiff sought to recover damages. for the loss of his daughter's labour, in consequence; of her seduction by the Defendant. The Plaintiff is a boat-builder at Gravesend, and the Defendant an anchor-smith at the same place. The panics had for many years lived in the most in timate terms : the Defendant was about the age of 27, and the girl about the age of 18. The Defen dant became a widower about a year and a half ago ; and in August, 1807, he succeeded in effecting a cri minal intercourse with the Plaintiff's daughter. Mr. Serjeant Burr, for the Defendant, succeeded in extorting from the young woman, in the course of cross-examination, that she- had had sweet-hearts 6efore her acquaintance with the Defendant ; that to some of them she had allowed unbecoming familiari ties, three years before the period in question ; and that she had continued to walk more than once with those tame persons, under the cloud of night, after they had been guilty of unbecoming familiarities with heriperson. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE here interposed, and re commended to Mr. Serjeant Shepherd, for the Plain tiff, to consent to a Juror being withdrawn. • After consultin g with his Client, Mr. Serjeant Satre itzan-egreed to the reconithendation of the Learned Judge, and a Juryman was accordingly withdrawn. satmow V. MAY. In this case a point occurred as to what species of denial elms sufficient to constitute an act, of Bank ruptcy. The bankrupt, it appeared, had given orders to be denied, mentioning particularly a Creditor •of la, - name of Hill. In the mean time, however, sandier ' Creditor of the name of Ayres, called, and thllier vain of the Bankrupt not being certain whadoe he was or was not , at home, denied the Bankrupt to No. , It about five minutes afterwards the Bankrupt, UP. , demanding who . ' bad called for him, went to the public-house to which Ayres had gone, end in apo logy for not being at home to him (Ayres) statet al that though he was not afraid of him he was afraid'f HILL 'his, it was contended fox the plaintiff, cow, stituted an act of bankruptcy. . Sir Janes MANSFIELD held the contrary, laying it down that there being no intention to deny the bank rupt generally to his creditors, or specifically to A yrel,• l but only to HUI, the fact of the servant denying him t 6 Ayres, she not knowing at "the time wEether the bankrupt was then at home or not, could never be considered as a denial of the bankrupt, for the purpoie of concealing himself from Ayres. Independent of this, his J.ordship conceived, the fact of the bank ruPes going to Ayres within five minutes after the denial had taken place, as equal to a rectification of mistake seinsiaistii or as if the bankrupt had call ed to Ayres from the window. STRONGeTWARM o. AVCBIOI7Ii. This was as action for the value of seal which the Plaintiff had made for the . Defendant.

In order to account to the astonished :eat maker tiar the F eta liarity of his taste, he observed, that. Sterne in his Tristram Shandy bad somewhere said, De r u tiS at ,star en eltsitatasthan, or, as the French rendered it, da mn a ran rat, equivalent to which was the homely Proverb " every one to his fancy." This dissertation closed with a promise, that the Defendant would lounge into the Pl2dntiff's shop when he came to town, and give directions about the alteration s w hi c h he Wanted. But as this promise was never performed, the Plaintiff brought his -acti.m. The defence was, that the seal was not made according to orders. But no particular order being proved, the Jury found for the Plaintiff—Damages - Sevcn Guineas. OLD BAILEr. Yesterday ten prisoners were tried, one of whom l ivas capitally convicted, viz. I • Thema: Wright, for an assault upon Ann Wright, and feloniously ravishing her . against her will. It would be highly indecorous to gwethis-case in detail The girl was rather more than IS years of age ; she was the prisoner's grand-child, and lived *ith her father and mother, and the prisoner dwelt in a cot tage dose by, in the village of Tottenham. On the 10th of July, she went to her grandfather's, when he seized her, shut the door, and by force committed the crime with which he was charged. Mr. Baron GRanms commented with much sevc-ity ,on the infamy of the prisoner. The relationship In which he stood to the child ought to have mad: rant I her shield rather than her despoiler. His conduct must excite feelings of horror and detestation. The Jury retired for nearly an hour, and returned a ver dict of Guilty. The prisoner is GS years of age Jam &us was indicted for stealing twelve brass and twelve urn locks, the goods of Freentantlo, Bran dortand Deisorrneaux. The principal evidence was the prosecutor'sforeman, who, suspecting the prisoners honesty, kept a watch upon him. On the 10th ult. hi followed him as far a Goswell.street, where he saw him enter an old iron shop. He then procured an officer, who secured him, and on being searched, the two dozen of locks described in the indictment, were found upon him. The prisoner said he hum uothhig at all about the charge.—Guilty Mors Clidand was indicted for assaulting Cathy. rise Eshall, and taking from her person a.shawl and handkerchief. On Tuesday se'imight the prisoner stopped the prosecut4 in Swallow -street, and under the pretext of charging her with having stolen a pair of stockings from him, dragged her, as if to 'take her before a Magistrate, *hen he took an opportunity of snatchuig her shawl from about but neck, a,nd a handkerchief out of her hand, with which he.made off. He was pursued by some pas sengers, 'and taken. - The Jury found him Guilty of taking, but without ' force, by which he escaped the capital part of the charge. Five - others was convicted of felony, viz. Bridget Bit Allister, ktary Stuggs t ibuothy Ntigidorn.Thotnna M'Cartby, and John Thorn. Two were acquitted, viz. Jedut Edward and Harry "Yuma the latter ot;whorn was capitally indicted for 'stealing a bank note, value 201. one - other, value 101. five others, value 11. each, and money, anrainting together to the sum of 791. Bs. the property of Eliza beth Shaw, in her dwelling-house. Mrs. Shaw stated, that she kept a house in New ton's-court, Seven Dials : that on the 27th of October left it between twelve and one in the day, leaving several of her lodgers in the house. On her coming home, she found a double chest of draWers that stood in .& parlour broken open, all the money described is the indictment one;g and all her linen and clothes scattered about the room. She was confident she had-left the Money and drawers in a state of security. One df the female lodgers deposed, that on the day mentioned, after Mrs. Shaw had gone out, she saw a man named Murphy come into the court, followed by the prisor. Murphy instantly broke Mrs. Shaw's parlour, windows, and the witness and Mrs. Stuart (Mrs. Shaw's servant) ran into the court.—Murphy and the prisoner got into the parlour by the door, and took up the poker to force open the drawers, Weston standing by him. At length, by the help of the point of the poker, the middle tipper drawer was beaten to pieces, and the money and notes received by Murphy, who asked the prisoner if hehad had any /ash (liquor) that day. Hathway, a Bow-street Officer, was brought to the spot. He saw Murphy, a shoe-maker, whom he knew as having lived for years with Mrs. Shaw. Here Mr. Justice Gaols re-examined the proven". Viz ; and icturned out that Murphy had lived with her for 80 years as her husband, an d that they had all things in common between them. . This was fatal to the indictment, and the prosecution fell to the ground. • . • • A. • 'y • . „oft.
