COURT OF RING'. BENCH, JUNE Is. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. GARILOW moved fors ruleto thew caufe why a criminal information thould not be filed again!" 01 o Gentlemen of the names of Cork and Upfhaw, for a challenge to Mr. Alltew. He grounded his motion on the following falls, as difcloied ih an affidavit of . Mr. Atkew's, who was a fon of Sir Edward Afkew. That Gentleman Bated, that on the zd of June he was in the Leflure Room of St. Thomas's Hofpital in the Borough, and was fitting at the end of the form, having fcarcely room for himfelf. Mr. Cork came to him and fat himfelf down on the edge of the, form dole to him. Mr. A. told him there was no; room there, and advifed him to go to another part of the room Where there was a vacant place ; he did, not itir, when Mr. A. felting himfelf upright, in or der to retain his feat, it necerarily thrufl Mr. Cork off, the form, and he fell to the ground ; he role and went to the vacant place. Mr. A. thought that the bull nefs would have here ended; but as he was going to leave the room, Mr. Cork came to him, and atked his name and addrefs, which he gave him. In the afternoon of the fame day, the other Gentleman, again! whom Ire moved, Mr. Upflaw, came to him from Mr. Cork, and demanded either an apology or a meeting. Mr. A. Paid he had done nothing wrong, and he Ihould make no apology. Mr. Cork nest fent him a letter, in which he called him 44 a coward," for refuting fatisfaetion ; and, not content with this, he placarded printed hand bills againit the walls, in which he accufed Mr. A. of infulting Gen tlemen, who were foreigners (they are, it teemed, Americans,) and then refuted them fatisfaelion,on the pretence of the refpeetability of his conneFtions ; for this he proclaimed him a coward, Sec.

This was an aaion for an afrault committed by running againft the plaintiff's chaife, and cutting the traces, and reins of the harriers. To this the defen• dant had pleaded a moll whimfical plea, that one D. M'Kenzie, whole fon and fervant the defendant was, had had the chaife, in which the plaintiff was riding, Nolen from him ; that in order to know who the plain tiff iwasAhe gaily ran againft the chaife and that with a knife he then held in his hand, he goad, cut one of the traces, at which the plaintiff being greatly irri tated, he gest& cut the reins of the harnefs with the aboire mentioned knife, and that all this was done to make the plaintiff tell his name, and place of abode. The fags producing the plea were as follow s the de fendant's father had had this chaife Rolm; from him by a man of the name of Hughes, who was con• rifted of the robbery at the Old Bailey. The plain tiff had hired it of a Mr. Newman, a coachmaker, and being out he met the defendant, who, recognif ing the chaife, stilted the plaintiff where he got that chaife ? it was none of his property, for that he, the defendant, had been (swindled out of it. The manner of this inquiry difpkafcd the plaintiff, and he refufed to . tell him who be was ; but drove on from the Edg ware-road to Hammerfmith. The defendant follow ed him; and at Hammerfmith he locked the wheels 9f hisown chaife with the one oftheplaintiff, and then got down and cat the reins from the horfe's mouth. For the defendant. it was proved that be repeated ly slated the plaintiff for his addrefs, which se refined to give hint. Verdia for the plaintiff. Damages fol. 3UIII 21..-.1.0110 NILSON V. TUCRtt. This cafe was mofk ingenioufly argued by Mr. Ser. jeant S u ao, on the part of the Plaintiff, and by Mr. Easaiss for the Defendant. The real parties to the caufe were Lord Nelfon and Earl St. Vincent ; and the queftion was, which of thefe two noble and gallant Commanders was end• tied to a certain Ihare of prize-money ? Mr. Serjeant &aerostats obferved, that this cafe came before their Lordlhips upon a Writ of Error from the Court of Common Pleas, to reverie the Njudgment of that Court, which was in favour of the oble Earl. This talk came on in the &ape of a fpecial verdia. and the learned Sergeant, after Rating the faits of the fpecial verdiet, faid, the queftion for the opinion of the Chart would be, whether Lord St. Vincent's tight to the prize money in queftion, continued to that Noble Earl after the time be bad fat out on his return to England t Whether if he had not that right, the right to this priaemoney did not neceffa rily become veiled in Lord Nelfon ? The decifion of this cafe depends merely on his Majefty's Proclama tion, and particularly on the 4th deuce oFit. Earl St. Vincent being C.ommander in Chief of all hie Majefty's fhips and yeah on the Mediterranean Re non, gave orders to Captain Digby to cruixt in cer tain latitudes within the limits of that Ration. In confequence of thefe orders Captain Digby took the prizes in queftion t but at the time thefe prises were taken, Lord St. Vinceat was an his return to Eng land, and Lord Nelfon was the fenior Admiral on the spot who bad the *dual command of the fleet.—. A great deal of frets was laid upon the word " I I turning," which is ufed in his Majefty's Proclama- tion,wMre it is Paid, " When a Commander in Chief 1 the Beet under another command, and is re turning home, his right to prize-money cedes." The learned &rjeant contended, this meant a returning home from any caufe whatever, and that therefore I the Plantilferas entitled to the judgment of the Court.' Mr. gamins', in the exordium to his molt admir able fpeech on the part of Lord at. Vincent, oblikrvA .d, this queftion was of rest general im and that it was fo confidered by the two oft:ions, competitors now before the Court who' were never! competitors before, but who had been fo often wet bitted together to the confulion of their enemies... 7 l They Were competitors, becaufe it was a cpeeiCßl general moment to the (uric. in which they were engaged ; he was perfuaded Lord hlelfors thought fo—Firft, from the charaaer of his profellon condly, from the chars ter of the man ; and thirdly,, from the many obligations he owed to the Noble Earl. That Lord at. Vincent thought In. hi. own , perfonal and intimate knowledge of7trim for a great number of years, fatisfied him. He dial nut mean to contend, that if Lord St. Vincent was not entitled to recover, that Captain Dishy was ; but that Lord Nelfon was entitled to his prole money. The learned Counfel contended that his Learned Friend's con flruaion of bis Majefty's ProclArnation, in applying the word " returning" to every returning, from whatever reefs. was &swotted. He. on toe other 'hand, ;flatted, that tole word in the Pmciamatiot applied only to the final rewriting of any Commander in Chief, and that it did not contemplate fuels a re• turning as that of Lord St. Vincent, aim was the* returning to England on account of his health, and intended again to return. lie was not ftsperfeded in his command, but continued to enjoy that liturtilutt Long after there prizes were taken, and thetefore his right to prize•money had not then ceafel After the Learned Connie' were heard on both fides, Lord ELLINBOROUGM obferved, that as this care appeared to be of much importance in point of magnitude and value, and having undergone a dif. cuflinn in another Court, and the juOges having en- Lertained different opinions, and it being a very irn- Vntant matter, which would require cunfideration, they ()Inuit' defer giving their judgment till the fuc ceeding term. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. ERSKINE laid he was about to apply to the Court for a criminal information upon the affidavit of a Gentleman who had been employed much to the advantage of this country, in bufinefs of high and important natures. The Gentleman he alluded to was Mr. Wickham, and the perfon igaintl whom he mired was a Mr. Daniel Seaton. Mr. W. made the affidavit on the 29th of April laa, and why it was fo long before it was ufed, the Court would fee whin he came to relate the Eh% he was about to difcloCe.... Mr. W. !laced, that he was a truflee, together with a Mr. Seaton Kerr, in the marriage fettlement of Mr. W. Wyndham, who had married a daughter of Daniel Seaton, Efq. Chief of our fettlement at Su rat. The affidavit then detailed the particulars of Mr. Wickham's conflation with the Seaton family, and (lasted, that Mrs. Seaton came to England Come time back, when unfortunately a difpute arofe be. tween her and her fon, the perfon againll whom he applied. Mr. W. prevailed with Daniel Seaton, jun. to leave his mother's houfe, and then he thought the matter had been adjufled. On the 3d of April Lift, he received a letter from Mr. Seaton, which Mr. Ert- INE read. The letter was couched in a Gentle manly ftile, and related chiefly to family difputes I but what the writer feemed moil to addrefs to Mr. Wickham was, that he had been informed that by his advice, he, the writer, had been difcarded from his father's houfe. This advice he wifhed Mr. Wickham to difavdw. Mr. Wickham in his anfwer declined Rating what advice he had given, as he confidered it had been given under the fell of confidence ; but et. preffed his anxious wills to ferve every part of the fa. mily. Mr. Seaton wrote again on the 3d of April, repeating the fame topics t and Mr. Wickham again declined giving any fpecific anfwer. In confequence of this, he was waited upon by Major Morgan, who brought him a challenge from Mr. Seaton. Upon this c hallenge, Mr. E. Paid, he was about to have moved hilt term ; but, as he perfonally knew, and had known for many years, Mr. Seaton !tar. Mr. Wickham's catruliee, he was determined to inter. pole his good offices, through the medium of that Gentleman, to endeavour to prevent fo difagreeable a bufinefs from becoming public. The confequenec was, that both Mr. Seaton and Major Morgue, through Mr. Gibbs, their counfel, wrote an apology, in which they admitted that they had abed wrong and under mirapprehenfion of Mr. Wickham's con. duff; Mr. Seaton admitting that, fo far from &fere. ing his reproach, Mr. W. merited his thanks. The matter might have relied here, but for the l'ubfespeent miliondua of Mr. Seaton, by which Mr. Wickham was put in the fame fituation as though no apology had ever been offered. The thing that he had to complain of was a letter written by Mr. S. hum. the apology addre ff ed to Mr. Wickham, which he.would read. The Learned Counfel accordingly read the letter. It accufed Mr. Wickham of baring obtrud ed himfclf in the affairs of a private family which had been thrown into confufiori ; that he was unfit to manage the negotiationt ofa Rate who embroiled the affairs of individuals; that he was liable to a civil aftion for,the injyry he had "conimitted ; and that a (haling &Magee would ruin his reputation, for. it mull appear is Court that he had rdufed fatidadlion, to a Gentleman whom he. had injured. The fait would be detailed through the neerfpapers to all the world. It would be rasa to critaination in Pailii mint ; and the King, who was the bead of all Geo demen, moil think fuch a man unworthy to be trolled in any high lituation, either military or civil.
