~" . ;~~ _ A: " t ~. LA I N TEL LIG ENCE. .. ....-- • . , .. . . . In reference to the Trial of Goascat e. Caweindt,. which ap peared in the Ssariltaaaterday, we are reonesied to state, that Mr. aravriar was,iikllll6, a partner with*. 4 . ..C.:.niaatki in Stdrolk-itreet, and not in the servheef Mesais. filasaanroao and Cox, as stated In the report of the TriaL COURT Or ICING'S BENCH, OCTOBER 17. . ' ; 'PACO V. bAY. • .• Mr. Scaamerr....stated to the Jury that this was an action for damages by reason of the loss and expense which had accrued to the plaintiff in consequence of the defendant's negligence and latches, the defendant having in .a certain cause, entitled " Fagg v. Sher- Vein and another, executors of Jackson deceased," been' employed as solicitor for the plaintiff. 'lt would I,e skews, that acting in that capacity, the defendant had neglected to ascertain the existence of a will exe cuted. by one Waiton, in the year 1776, br which Certain freehold premises, situated in the patish of St. James, Clerkenwell, had been so conveyed and dis posed of as to carry a legal title to the same to Mr. Fagg. In such former action at law, Mr. Day having furnished the plaintiff's Counsel with secondary and insufficient evidence of the title, and alleging that the will of 1776 was not in existence, had been, as it was conceived, the cause of plaintiff's sustaining a nonsuit, and being thereby subjected to the payment of costs ; and it was to recover the amount of these, and such items of Mr. Day's bill against the plaintiff, as arose out of the matter in question, that the plaintiff now• sought his remedy in a Court of 1...4w. Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. MARRYAT, for the plain tiff, proceeded to shew,that the subsequent will, exe cu:ed by Walton, and bearing date in 1784, which was produced on the former trial, regarded personal property only. The Learned Gentleman contended that it was by no means a su ffi cient defence for Mr. Day to set up, as they • understood he would do, that having subpoenaed the proper officer from Doctors Commons, he had been informed by him that. no such will as that of 1776 was in being. It was his duty to have got at the fact, by his own exertions and inquiries. The Jury were, no doubt, aware of the extreme importance and nicety of the various points which it was necessary to establish in order to convey - a good title ; and that it was quite usual and neces sary (generally speaking) for Gentlemen to place, in such matters, the utmost reliance on ale skill and ability of their professional advisers. In insisting upon the neglect which Mr. Day had evinced on this occasion, the Learned Counsel did :tot mean to say that it might not very well haven that any , Solicitor, however eminent, might make a mistake in point of law ; but every fact connected with a document of vich importance as this will of 1776, which disposed of testator's freehold estates, it was essentially neces sary for Mr. Day to have possessed himself of; .and for the cnnsequences of his ()Mining to do so, the Jury • woeld by their verdict, the Learned Counsel trea.ted,h , sld biro fully responsible; at least for such eirienses as its non-production had led to, the title being now, so far as respected the will, sufficiently made nut. The situation of Mr. Fagg was this—he hat fo pry the expenses of the nonsuit, which he had been cnmpelied to enter in order to stay the former cause, x%hich was one of ejectment against the tenant Of a p.trt of the property conveyed - by the will of 1771 ; and he had also had to pay Mr. Day's bill, in cluding the charge for his own services in this trans. action, and Mr. Siler‘vood's costs, in order to have the cause re-established on his Lcrdslaip's paper. - . Mr. Day's affidavit was then read ; and . The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. Castel:nu, on his part, submitted to the Court the facts which were in proof, that he hal been misled by the assertion of the officer who was subi cenaed from Doctors Cuumons, that there was, no such will there as the' will of Walton, dated in 1776, and that the various• abstracts leading to . the title were of great length and complexity. . The LORD C11127/ . .i1.111i10E . wii:clairly of opinion that it was Mr. Day's duty to have done more : he ought to have made his ? inquiries at Doctors' Com- Mons' person ally. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL having consulted with Mr. gcarlett, expressed his willingness. that plaintiff should lake a verdict for the colas; and the Jury, under his - Lordship's direction, found a verdict to secure the payment of costs on the other side (as they had been paid by the plaintiff in the present cause), amounting to 791, and upwards; and also such par ticular items as the Master should select from Day's bill, as applicable thereto, together with the costs of this day's proceedings. The original cause (of ejectment) is still pending. PRICE V. PRICE. Mr. SCARLETT described this as an action for da- wages sustained by a libel. It was brought by Mr. Charles Price, gentleman, against Mr. John Price, gentleman—they were both gentlemen, that is, they were country attornies, resident in Wales. It might, at first, seem very hard to the July, that a \Velsh at torney should bring his grievances and the defendant before the Superior Court at Westminster; but the . defendant, at any rate, could have little cause to complain of this circumstance, since it gave him the benefit of the Solicito:-General', assistance, which he could not have pi ocored in \Vales without a very enormous expense. Mr. J. Price, the defendant, to the profession of an attorney united the powerful offices of a surveyor in the revenue department, and a collector of the assessed taxes. Now the profession of an attorney was said to be more lucrative inWales than in many other parts of the kingdom, owing to the singular disposition for litigation which was sup posed to characterise that Principality. Bat when to this fact the Jury added that-of the defendant's filling either capacities, they would be the less surptised at the plaintiff's being extremely averse to bringing his action against the defendant on his own dunghill, ..s it were, in a district'where he was so influential as to give rise to such imputations as these—that he was accustomed to advise the Judge 'while he evidently taxed the Jury; and the country rumour ran, that if he was not high in office himself; he was certainly on the best terms with the Prime Minister. The libel arose out of the following circumstances—Mr. Chas. Price, the plaintiff, had some time ago brought an ''ten by reason of an injury which his client sup self to have sustained from them, on the poor man named Maire, against Price, -- White, and others. Maire had been _trial to plead in forma pauperis, and. 1 lad . thought necessary to subpoena 4 Wile inns named - Poweil to of false and malicious leged that J. Price, Obtaining a warrant charge, hail-travelled gavenny, tile place with a view of 'obtainih, was very infirm, and upwards ._ yeatv whom the defendant had formerly been a clerk, and over whose opinions it was intimated that he posses.: sed atoo considerable influence. This was what had been suggested, and the Jury would only consider it as a suggestion; but the fact alleged was this—that within 50 or 60 yards of the spilt -hum whence the defendant set out, there were **vend -other Magis- I trates to whom he might have• applied for the war rant. • The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read the libel, which, as he said, the defendant had thought fit to publish against the plaintiff. It had been writ ten out by defendant's clerk, then signed by himself. The libel was to this effect—lt was headed "In the King's Bench, Maire against J. Price and others."— " Mr. Charles Price; Sir, I find that in this cause you have subpoenaed the Rev. Mr. Powell and other Fer sons whose testimony cannot be material to him, the same having been done merely for the,.purpose of picking my pocket. I hereby give you notice, that should a verdict pass against the defendants, which cannot take place unless you and your clerk or pupil swear pretty stoutly, I shall pray that the expenses of all persons may be taxed," &c. Now the Jury would observe that this libel contained two charges —the first, that the plaintiff had been acting with a view of ricking the defendant's pocket—the second, a charge or an insinuation that a verdict could not pass for the poor man Maire, without false swearing on the part of the plaintiff ; his clerk, or pupil. Witnesses were called to prove the hand-writing of the body of the libel, the signature, and the delivery of the paper containing it. It was proved that the defendant's clerk brought the libel to the plaintiff's door, unsealed ; and delivered it in that state to V. Keene, the clerk of the plaintiff, who would not-let the messenger enter the house, but took the paper up stairs to Mr. C. Price without reading it. Mr. C. Price perused it, but not aloud, and then handed it over to his clerk. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE held that this was not sufficient proof of publication. .The libel was not published to or by any of the parties concerned in its transmission. There was evidence of publication of a part only, not of the whole ; for that which might apply as such to the body of the paper, written by the clerk, would not apply to the signature: If it had been proved that either the icesseager or the plaintiff's clerk had read the libel with.the signature affixed, that would have been sufficient evidence of publication. His Lordship should recommend a juror to be witlid, awn on both sides. itir.ScaRLETT, for the plaintiff, and the SOLICITOR• GENERAL, for the defendant, expressed their willing ness to acquiesce in the suggestion of his Lordship. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE saLl it was Is matter ex ceedingly indecorous, no doubt, in the defendant. He wished that attornies would attend more to the inte iests of their clients, and less to their own squabbles. A juror was accordingly withdrawn. COOKE V. BELL. This was a curious ca.e, in which the plaintiff l sought to rec:iver compensation r, the amount of: £l5O, for a similar stim that had been fraudulently and unjustly obtained from him by the defendant. Mr. Scatturrr said, the • defendant was a Mt. Henry Nugent Bell, who, in advertisetitenfs end no— tices, was in the habit of describing himself as the poor man's friend in need—as a man more capable of recovering estates,, investigating titles, and draw ing up pedigrees, than any other individual in the three kingdoms. This Gentleman, as he understood. had recently written a book, detailing the proceed ings which had been bad, and in carrying on which he was said to be a principal ag ent, . on, behalf of the successful claimant of the Hun tingdon Peerage. • Of that work the Learned Counsel knewnothing of his own knowledge. He had been told that it contained some very romantic affidavits; but he should not now deliver any opinion on the subject. The plaintiff (Mr. Cooke) conceived that he was entitled to certain 'estates which had belonged to an uncle of hii, long since deceased. He- had heard of Mr. Bell, whose chambers were in the Adelphi. In the hope, through Mr. Bell's exertions, of getting possession of his late uncle's estates, he had an interview with the de fendant. The defendant appeared touched with com passion at the peculiarity of his case—declared that he saw something in his very face which mat ked him fora man entitled to a large estate—and even threw out a sort of speculative suggestion" that he might have a claim to some dormant Peerage or other. It was very shortly after this meeting that Mr. Cooke received from the defendant a letter, which was to this effect—by the bye (continued Mr. Scarlett) it is addi. , ssed to " Cooke, Esq." , So that you sce, Gentlemen of the Jury, he had already elevated my unfortunate client from a plitin-tradesman, and " Mr." (the appellation to which he was really entitled) to an Esquire. "" Sir—l have reflected this morning on the statement that you made to me, relative to the claim you would make eo the estates of the late Mr. Cooke, and having considered of the business, I have no ob jection to undertake it. But I beg to state, that as Barristers cannot legally bring actions, or recover any sums for, or on account of professional fees, and as I have already suffered very considerably in con sequence of my inability to bring such actions with effect, I am obliged to have a considerable sum in advance. Previous to which it will be necessary to lay down a course of proceeding, to which it will be proper to adhere without any deviation. In the first place, I shall read over and make abstracts from your late uncle's will. In the next plade, a pedigree must be compiled—(the Jury would observe, that if one was wanting, it could be prepared and compiled against oecasion)—compiled to shew your descent from, and affinity to, the late Mr. Cooke, according to the laws of descent and genealogy." Descent and genealogy! why,the Jury would readily imagine,that on a plain and simple man like Mr. Cooke, such bard and astounding words as these must have had the same terrifying and oversvhelming effect, as the por tentous sayings of the Weird Sisters in the cave of Macbeth. The letter proceeded thus I could not for a snm less than £5O compile a title—(this is a good round sum to charge for proving a man to be SCAR,. proceeded. 4th of December, Mr. Bell wrote another letter Mr. Cooke, for.more money. It was to this effect 14 My dear Sir—l send you the pedlgrde ofklir Anthony Cooke, of Gidding Hall, and the pedigree of the Parents. ',also send you the statement of sour case. Since the 26th of October bat, you must be aware that I have been constantly et.gaged on your account : and you are aware that my time icvaluible, and a man must be pai4 for ft. My exertions and expenses on your account hate been various; and they may be summed up under the following heads:—Searching in the College of Arms and in Doctors' Commons—various attendances on Sir George Nayler.:-: searching, painting,, and emblazoning arms—preparing pedigree, &c. All this has amounted to a great deal, and made yen. my debtor, and thus it becomes Indispensably necessary that I should have some. more Money to carry on the war. There will be Counsel's fees and other expenses to pay, and more will be re quired for those purposes : after which I triist I shall be able to establish your claim to the estates of your late uncle." The heir at law, the Counsel observed, must of course be entitled to these real estates, and the nephew was the heir at law. This letter concluded with a request for another £lOO.. The plaintiff consulted his friend Mr. Woodburne on the subject, and he, thinking Cooke fairly entitled, and that it would therefore be a pity. to starve the cause, advanced that sum of money. In a few days after payment of this £lOO, plaintiff and his friend called at the defendant's house in the Adelphi : at the door they found a tall Irish p'orter, who informed them that Mr. Bell had gone to Ire land, and would not be back for some weeks. It was March, however, before the defendant returned, and on consulting with him, he told the plaintiff and Mr. Woodburne that so many difficulties had intervened, and there seemed so little chance of prosecuting Mr. Cooke's claim, that he did not think it worth while to go on. They then asked defendant whether hz would return the £1.50 ? but this defendant declined doing. The Learned Counsel then produced the bill of Mr. Bell, for his services; observing, that he would not attempt to read it, for that would be too alarmirg to the Jury. He would merely say, that all which they might have heard about doctors' bills, ay, and sawyers bills toe, was infinitely outdone by this ac count. (Mr. Scarlett here produced a bill of a most appalling length and dense writing). Ile read the first itetn, which consisted of charges for going into the City and coming out again ; searching in Doc tors Commons ; consulting with Mr. Cooke, with Mr. Woodburne, and with other Gentlemen ; looking over records in the Herald's College and in the College of Arms ; reading in the Gentleman's Magazine, in order to see whether the defendant, on plaintiff's be half, " could discover in that popular work" any traces of Mr. Cooke's family connexions, or the sale of the estate in question ; and a recapitulation of some thirty jaunts, or upwards, which the defendant made into the City and elsewhere for these purposes, and which had occasioned him so much fatigue that for coach-hire alone lie felt it necessary to charge £3. Ss. Whatever might be Mr. Bell's merits in re spect of the Huntingdon Peerage, it was but too certain that he had got the 0150 of his client's money, and this it was that the Jury by their verdict would di rect to be repaid. Woodburnr was then , called, and examined by i,tr. Ttuom..—Witness said, that on attending with Qiiioke at Bell's chambers, Bell said, that as a Barris ter he could accept no Solicitor's fees; but he must `have 501. to carry on the business. Witnessadvanced the money, for which he gave a check on Coutte. The Loan CHIRP JUSTICR inquired who was Coun sel for Mr: Bell ?—His Lordship was answered, that it was an undefended cause. The same witness proved the subsequent payment of 1001. also advanced by him. Mi. SCARLETT here interposed, and said, that as this was an undefended cause, he felt some difficulty in proceeding further. It appeared that after Mr. Bell's return in March he made an appointment to meet the plaintiff and his friend, observing that on their meeting everything would be arranged Allen that interview took place, he declined returning the money he had received. The Learned Counsel did not wish to proceed for mcne than the 150/. which had been paid to him. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that as Mr. Cooke, the deceased, died in 1792, the defendant had had some thirty years' search to make at any rate, for which some compensation must be allowed; and he put it to the Jury whether it might not be proper to find a verdict for the 1001. subsequently paid?. The Jury, under his Lordship's direction, found a verdict accordingly ; costs 40s. feigr?,cl pleasure to contrast the resent state of the hosiery trade in this town, with what it was eighteen months Or two years ago. About the middle of 1820 1 frame-work-knitters, by hundreds, might be daily noticed traversing the streets in vain in search of (tr. ployment. Now, what with an increased demand for 'goods, and a disinclination on the put of the work: 'men to iabcfur to the extent .. which they did when Compelled to do so by low prices, and the high price .ef provisions, manufacturers - tan with great difficult] execute their orders in due time." Tuesday, a carpenter, of the name of Lawrence! who was at work on the interior roof of the nevi church of the parish of St. Luke, Old -street, by stand= ing on the end of a board that projected a little be. yond the scaffold, was preci"itated to the bottom, a depth of sixty feet. In his descent he fell from one scaffold to another, and it was thought he was dashed to pieces. His fellow-workmen, seeing the accident, ran to pick him up; but before they could get to him, be was on his legs, living sustained no other injury than a tri'ling contusion on his shoulder and neck. A surgeon was sent for, but he refused to be bled, and returned to his work in the same place. - CHEAP DINNER.—Ia the year 1752, a el . nner provided by Josh HERVEY, Esq. at Wexford, for COl.

This was an action to recover of the defendant, a carrier, belonging to the firm of Horn and Co. of the Golden Cross, Charing-cross, SOL the value of a port manteau committed to their care, and lost on its pas sage down to Hastings by one of their coaches. It appeased that Mr. Greenfield, intending to pass two months at Ilastings with his family, packed up a quantity of clothes among other things, and sent the trunk by his servant over night to the Golden Cross Inn, with his name on it, as well as on other packages. Next morning, on taking his seat, this trunk was at first lashed to the roof of the coach, but the coach man thinking it insecure, had it removed into the boot. OR the coach's arrival at Hastings, the trunk was discovered to be lost. Mr. Guitaiv said this was the plaintiff's case; and he 'ought to recover the value of the portmanteau's contents—namely, 501. Mr. SCARLET? relied, on behalf of the defendant, on one of the printed tickets usually delivered with parcels from the coach offices, and in which they de ' cline responsibility for the loss of any parcel above the value of £5, unless specifically designated as of superior value, and paid for accordingly.
