LAZY INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 1. JnIIN KING v. GENERAL BURR. This cause c'me on to be argued on a demurrer to a hill of discovery filed by the plaintiff against the defendant. The bill set forth, that the defen dant, being desirous to enter into the marriage state, was induced, by an advertisement in a public News paper, to apply to a Mrs. Morris, who offered herself as a general agent between the sexes, by the following advertisement : " LADIES— . I . he delicate and restrained condition which cus tom imposes on females, subjects them to great dl3advantages. Niro. Morris offers to remove them. Ladies or Gentlemen who borne formed predilections, may be assisted in obtaining the ob jects of their affections ; and those who are unengaged may be Immediately introduced to suitable persons; but she will not assist applicants in any marriage, If their characters are not irre proachable, and their fortunes ecnsiderable and independent.— Apply, nr address (post / aid) at the bow-window next to Mar gAret Chapel, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square. Ladies, who require it, may be waked upon a: their own houses." At Mrs. Morris's he found every thing as he wish ed ; that Lady, ready to undertake the agency, and . to secure him a Lady of rank, fortune, and fashion, for his companion, on condition that he agreed with her terms, which were £2O, as a retaining fee, and £3OOO on his marriage. On his part it was stipulat _cd, that the Lady he should lead to the altar should have rank, and not less than £l5OO per annum.— After two or three meetings, these stipulations were agreed upon, and Mrs. Morris received the retainer. The delicacy of this Lady would not admit of her in troducing the Ladies to the General at her own house, but she bad a friend who lived in high life, and was connected with nobility. It might lead to some ex-i pence, as her friend, although most respectable, and I visited by the first people, was not overburthened with wealth. It would be necessary for her friend to give routs, balls, and parties, to allow the defendant a fair opportunity of addressing the several ladies from whom he was to select one as his partner for Accordingly she introduced the defendant tol the plaintiff, as the friend she had mentioned to him. The bill set forth, that the defendant prevailed on the plaintiff to give several large and expensive par ties, to give him an opportunity of being introduced, and making love to a lady of rank, fashion, and for tune ; and whatever expence the plaintiff might be at, the defendant promised to reimburse him. The bill averred, that the plaintiff did give balls, routs, and parties, as requested by the defendant ; and had in cuired the expence of 8100 ; that the defendant was introduced to several ladies of rank, fashion, and for tune ; and that he did make honourable love to many of them, with the intention of being wedded ; that' . the plaintiff required the defendant to reimburse him for the expences which had been made at his request, hut which he refused to pay; that the plaintiff brought his action in the Court of King's Bench, to recover from the defendant £4OO, he having broke his pro mise; to which the defendant pleaded he had not made any such promise, which defeated the action, as there was no illicit person present, it being a con tract of that delicate, honourable, and secret nature, that it would not admit of a witness. The plaintiff not being able to get redress in a Court of Law, he sled the present bill of discovery in that Court, to which the defendant demurred. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY rose as Counsel for the de fendant, in support of the demurrer. Lord ELDON observed, it would be better to hear the arguments first in support of the bill. Mr. Haler, Counsel for the Plaintiff, said, he never felt more am kward than he did in attempting to ad dress his Lordship. He was fearful, from what had been thrown out by his Lordship, that he did not feel there was any equity in the plaintiff's case. It was a bill of discovery, to bring out facts that only were known to the plaintiff. The case was very different from a party filing a bill of discovery to get evidence to prove a breach of promise of marriage ; but he was afraid his Lordship considered the bill ought never to have been filed ; he would therefore not take up the time of the Court. Lord ELDON.-••-41 Surely, Mr. Hart, you would not have a Court of Equity lend itself to such a trans action as this, to assist the plaintiff in giving ostenta 'males, for the purpose of a marriage ! He may of Law against this de he may sustain it if he assistance from me."— ~_ ~.:' p • - COURT 4P KING'S BENCH, AUGUST S. WOOD V. SZORDET. This was an action for the amount of goods sold and delivered. The parties are merchants of the first respectability in London. The plaintiff having a quantity of Peruvian tin on the point of being landed from a vessel in the river, was waited on by a broker of the name of Aldracht, who, having learned the terms on which it was to be sold, went among his friends for the purpose of procuring a purchaser. The defendant agreed to take 7 tons of the tin for a friend of his, a Mr. La Font. The payment, however, was ultimately resisted on the ground that the tin deliver ed was not agreeable to the sample exhibited by Ald racht. It appeared by the evidence of Aldracht that a misunderstanding had arisen with respect to the sample. 'When he originally called at Mr. Wood's on the subject of the tin which he had to dispose of, and which had not then been landed, seeing some bars of Peruvian tin lying near him, he had requested one of them ; this he had exhibited to the purchaser as a specimen, generally, of Peruvian tin, but not of that particular tin which was for sale. The purchaser, on the other hand, supposed that the tin so exhibited, was a simple of that which he was about to buy, but when compared together, the plaintiff's commodity, although Peruvian tin, was found to be of a very in ferior description. Under these circumstances the Jury found for the Plaintiff—Damages £1399 I Is. flare( xviatgarct.buccl, require it, may be waited upon at till At Mrs. Morris's he found ► ed ; that Lady, ready to undi to secure him a Lady of rank, for his companion, on conditit her terms, which were a€2o, £3OOO on his marriage.

WYE lb COLE. This was an action of a:sun:pit on an agreement of the nature of a charter-party. The plaintiff having a quantity of wine to send to the Isle of Man, from Guernsey, agreed with the defendant to charter his vessel, the Port Packet, for that purpose, and as plain tiffs had not a cargo sufficient to load the vessel com pletely, they intended to carry merchandize for any person who might want such a conveyance. When the time appointed for shipping their wines, however, ar rived, they were informed that the Port Packet had taken on board a cargo of stones for Portsmouth, but would return in a few days. As the delay would have been a matter of very great incon venience to them, they immediately put their wines on board a vessel called the Mary, then lying at Guernsey • aad now brought the: . action for £231. 17s. ;he amount of the additional expence incurred by engaging the Mary, and also the loss sustained by having been deprived of the opportu. nity of making a profit by shipping certain merchaa dize in the Port Packet, for which they would have received a handsome freightage. Lewis Gilson, who acted as agent in chartering the Port Packet in May, 1809, produced the deed under which the vessel had been engaged ' • but as it appeared to be signed only by Mr. Robert Wye, and of course was binding on him only, contrary to the form of the declaration, the plaintiffs were nonsuited. DEACON AND OTHERS, (EXECUTORS OF DEACON) V. FORSTER AND HOOD. This was an action brought by the executors of a person of the name of Deacon, formerly residing at Sheffield, against the defendants, for the amount of a debt due by them to the estate of the deceased. It appeared that the defendants, as partners, had carried on the manufacture of Prussian blue at Newcastle ; and the deceased had been in the habit of supplying them with the hoofs of oxen, which were the principal ingredient in the composi:ion of the colour. Forster, it was St.t/d. WA • perfectly conversant in the business, but had no capital. Mr. Hood, therefore, being a monied man, found capital, and Mr. Forster dill. Tke business, however, not turning out so profitable as Mr. Hood expected, he had seceded from the partnership, without giving any notice to those who had been in the habit of dealing with the firm. The deceased, not being a ware of the dissolution of partnership, which took place in April, 1805, and having received A letter in the May following, signed in the usual manner, " Forster and Hood," which contained an order for a quantity of hoofs, sent them as requested—which he would not have done had he known that Forster alone car ried on the business. Forster afterwards became bankrupt ; of course, Hood, who was solvent, and but for whom the eredit would not have been given, became liable for the debt, if a verdict was returned for plaintiffs. It way contended for defendants, that the con duct of Mr. Deacon, after the dissolution of the partnership, was of itself sufficient proof of .his knowledge of that event. At the close of the part nership a balance of a former account was sent to Mr. Deacon, and the letter inclosing it was not signed For ster and Hood, as formerly, but " Foister and Co." Deacon, in his subsequent letters, had thus addressed them ; and several invoices were made out in the same name. But after the bankruptcy of Foster a new in voice had been furnished in the name of Forster and Hood ; and the present action was brought experi mentally, as they might by possibility have a verdict ; and, if defeated, executors were not liable to costs. A person also, of the name of Matthew Locke, bad made an exposition to Mr. Deacon of the state of bankrupt's affairs, prior to his bankruptcy, for the purpose of procuring time for the payment of his debts, to which Mr. Deacon had assented. This exposition was put in and read, hut in no part of it was the name of Mr. Hood mentioned, as a part ner or otherwise ; the word partners, however, appear ed, without specifying whom they were. Mr. Dea con's answer to this proposition for time was also read —it merely stated, that if the assertions contained in the exposition were true, and the other creditors agreed to it, he should not object, however inconve nient he might find it to lie out of his money for the period requested. Lord ELLENBOROUGII observed, that if two persons were in partnership, and one of them seceded without giving due notice, that person continued liable as a partner. In the present instance, if Deacon had seen the dissolution in the London Gazeite (allowing for ar gument sake that it had been there advertised, which however did not appear to have been the case,) and received subsequently the letter of the sth of May, signed in the usual manner, « Forster and Hond," it would have been sufficient to have created a doubt as to the fact of the dissolution ; but when that letter was received signed in the ordinary manner, Deacon cer tainly had no right to be dubious. The questio t sim ply was, To whom was the credit given on the Bth of March, 1806? Of course to the persons who had re ceived it before, as the partnership was AOC contradic ted.--.
