LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCTOBER 2i. GODFREY V. DYMOkE. This was an action for a nuisance. The verdict was taken for the plaintiff. The facts of the case, as stated on the plea, were, that the defendant, in the exercise of his trade of a tinman, made certain loud and dis cordant noises, by hammering and knocking, which constituted the nuisance complained of by the plain tiff, who was his next door neighbour. Mr. CARTER now argued against the verdict, on a demurrer against the plaintiff's plea, which he said did not go far enough. The plaintiff's plea set forth that the noises constituting the nuisance were made by the defendvt, and issued from defendant's house hut did not go on to set out that the sounds entered the plaintiffs house. _ _ The Omar held that the plea went so far, that this circumstance must be inferred. hi setting forth the nuisance, it was stated, that certain discordant, inhar monious, jarring noises, occasioned by blows and hammering, proceeded from defendant's house, to the great annoyance of the plaintiff's family, and that in consequence of the nuisance arising from such noises, a lodger of the plaintiff had quitted his family, and for no other cause, whereby the plaintiff had sustained considerable loss. This was a sufficient allegation that the nuisance had entered the plaintiff's house.—Verdict for the plaintiff affirmed. RICHARDSON D. CAIHPBRLL. This was a special case, reserved for the opinion of the Court, to decide in whom the property of a certain vessel rested, under the following circum stances:—The plaintiffs were the assignees of bank rupts, to whom the vessel in question originally be longed. The defendants were parties claiming, as proprietors of the vessel, by purchase, by the bank rupts previous to their bankruptcy.. Mr. CAMPBELL, for the plaintiff, now contended, that, under the following circumstances of this case, the property in the vessel in question never vested in the defendants ; or, if it did, that by a subsequent act of their own they had divested themselves of the property, which returned to the original owners, un der the provisions of the 34th Geo. llf. c. 38, sec.l6, regulating the sale and registering of vessels. A bill of sale, by the bankrupts, of the vessel in question to the defendants was executed on the 31st of Decem ber, 1816, and by a third partner, still solvent, on the• 21st of July, 1817. The ship was British built, be longing to the pOrt of London, but was at this time absent in foreign parts. The purchasers, however, were resident in the port of London, and under the bill of sale they took possession of the property. On the 11th of December, 1817, the defendant sold the vessel in a foreign port, and to a foreigner, and the register of the vessel was, according to the provisions of the Register Act, the 31th of Geo. 111. delivered up to the British Consul at that post to be cancelled. By the Register Act, however, it was provided that, on the sale of a vessel taking place under such cir cumstances as these, namely, the absence of the ship, the purchaser should immediately send a copy of such bill of sale so the Custom-house, and do certain other acts required of them as owaers of such vessel ; and further, within ten days after the return of such vessel to the port to which she belonged, the new owners should send the register to the Custom-house of such port, with the particulars of the transfer 'in dorsed thereon. The defendants in the present case had neglected to transmit any copy of the bill of sale at the time they purchased the vessel, namely, the 21st of July, 1817 ; and they had further failed in complying with the law, inasmuch as they had sold her in a• foreign port, and of course had not suffered her to return to the port to which she belonged, or forwarded her register indorsed to•the Custom•heuse. Upon these grounds, he contended, the verdict for the plaintiff should be affirmed. Mr. PULLER, on the other hand, contended that thd defendants had done everything required.of them by the ltezisttr Act, when they, on the sale of the i i tticr: Si:' ];NT-PSNCF. vessel at Leghorn, directed their tv,:..ent to deliver up the regiAer to the Britith Consul at that port. The Court postpdned its juJgrnent to a future day. OCTOBER 29.— LAWRENCE. 5 1 . ABERDEIX. This was al action upon a policy of insurance on thirty mules, ten asses, and ten oxen, at and from Cork to St. Vincent's, warranted " free of mortality and jetsam." At the trial before Mt. Justice BEST, at the London Sittings after last Michaelmas Term, a verdict was found for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court upin » case. The animals in question were taken on board at Cork, and before the vessel quitted the British shores, she encountered a storm which so injured the mules, &c. that several of them died immediately; a great many others died on shore in the port into which the • vessel put to refit, in consequence of their wounds, and but five of the mules and one ass reached St. Vin cent's alive. The question for the opinion of the Court was, as to the construction to be put upon the exception in the policy, " way ranted free of 'nodality." Mr. F. Por.Locic contended, that the meaning of this was to guard the widen% itet s against a loss oc casioned by natural death, and not by the perils of the seas. Mr. CAMPBELL, contra, urged, that the meaning of the exceptive clause was to exempt the under writers from liability altogether as to the vitality of the animals, and that the word ;nodality must be un derstood loss of life under any circumstances. The Court, however, were clearly of opinion that the meaning of the clause wa,s to guard against mortality arising from natural causes only, and not from injuries sustained from the perils of the seas, to which the loss in this case must he attributed. Judgment for the plaintiff. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Mrs. Denman, a person of resi ectable appearance, her daughter (a child about ten years cf age), and thirteen boys from the age of eight to fourteen, were put to the bar, on an indictment for a riot at Oromp . . ton. There were five other persons in the indictment, four of whom pleaded misnomers, and one did not come in for trial. Mr. ADOLPHUS, who was Counsel for the prosecu tion, stated to the Court, that Mrs. Middleton, the prosecutris, from motives of kindness, wished to have two of the youngest boys acquitted. They were accordingly given in charge to the Jury ) and a verdict of acquittal taken. Mr. AnoLenus proceeded to state the case—rye mentioned.some of the particulars of it in our Police Report, •hen the defendants were brought up to liow•street to be held to bail.]—lie said that no rea son could be assigned for the riot by which Mrs. Middleton had been injured in her property, her per son, and her feelings, but that she chose to keep in her house a considerable number of cats. On the Mb of August, an immense mob assembled before her house, some of whom barked like dogs, others mewed like cats, and all appe.tred determined to demolish her house, which they so far effected as to compel her to fly for'safety. The prosecutrix, Mrs. Euphemia Middleton, an old Scotch Lady, upwards of seventy years of age, and reading at No. 11, Brompton-row, swore that on the 13th of August last, between five and six o'clock in the afternoon, a great many boys and girls, to the number of 150, which increa , ed after it became dusk, as she learned, to from 700 to 1,000, collected about her hou e, and , after'abusing her for some time, calling her " Old Mother Middleton," " Old Mother Cats,' and applying other opprobrious epithets to her, they commenced throwing stones and brickbats at her door and ss indows, of the glass of which they in a short time demolished fifty-one panes. Several of the stones hit the prosecntrlx, alter having passed through the window.; and she was compelled to seek safety in the back part of the house, from which, however, she was driven, by the attack being carried to the rear. She said she could identify all the de fendants in the dock, except three boys, Russell, flicks, and H'iblcn. On her cross-examination by Mr. BRODRICK, being asked bow she, who was near-sighted, and of course could not approach the windows while this assault was being carried on, cold i swear positively to hav ing seen any particular incividual? she replied, that she fired a telescope across a trunk, inside a two pair window over the door. From this observatory she recognized several of the besieging party, who were the children of the neighbourhood : and on being di• rected to point out in the dock the boys whom she could identify, she pointed out, amongst others, tLe three boys whom she had before excepted; she stated, however, that although she could not at first swear to those boys as having been implicated, yet from their having been subsequently pointed out to her as having been there, she had now no doubt of it. Boadicea Wilkinson swore she saw those three boy, amongst the crowd on that evening. She did not say she saw them engaged in any way in the assault. Far the defendants, several witnesses were called, who swore to alibis for most of them ; and stated that the assault.upnn the prosecutrir's house had been oc. casioned by her having severely beaten the defendant, Hannah Denman, on the evening in question, and knocked her infant sister out of Ler arms by a bin* of a stick. It did n.)t appear what provocation the child had given her. After an investigation which occupied the Court from eleven o'clock to four, the Jury, not•bein ,, satis. lied with Mrs. Middletcn's identification of I.Le de- fendants, Acquitted them all. • When the vesthct reached the lower part of the Court, there was a loud shout of triumph raised by the friends. of the accused; and the prosecutrir stated that she should require a .file of soldiers to enable her to approach her house with safety: She also said, that she would swear her life against the Magistrates of the county of Middlesex. The Magistrates assured her she should be protected.
