LAR ATEZLIGENCA. -....-1- -- . COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 24. PALMER V. MORTLOCK. This long expected cause came on to be tried id consequence of an Address of the House of Corns Te ens, to the Crown, that Mr. Palmer's claims might be submitted to a Jury. Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD stated the case of the plain tiff, with which the public are already acquainted, concerning which it is necessary to state only that the present defendant is the Receiver General of the post Office. Mr. Palmer's claim to a per cent age on the profits arising from the Post Office was founded on a contract entered into between him and Mr. Pitt, when Chancellor of the Exchequer, the terms of which are the only substantial question, between Mr. Palmer and the Government. After the Plaintiff's Counsel had spoken at length e n the merits of the case, Mr. Justice LAWRENCE said :—Do you, Brother Shepherd, upon this record, take the question to be, what was the contract that vas made between Mr. Palmer and Mr. Pitt ? m e Serjeant Surixettn—l know, my Lord, that .11.15 not an iltue. I conceive i; to be ceittPled with t he order of the :Kitt, that Mr. ?do . OFk,.if I May b e allowtd to use 'that phrase, la': - ' • .461 . e are entitled to receiver.. t h e place of the public', and :therefore 'on ibis Ise. -"iihat ~,..,;,., ..„. :‘,...‘. oil w . Mr. Justice Latvecsted—l Cannot agree with - (stk.' j by anyemeans that you can try this question e if ofi * cann ot establiih that there has been with Mr. oree ' lock, either expressly or impliedly, some one of the contra cts stated in the declaration. . . ... e .,1 'ONE or TIIE Jufer—My .Lord, there is 'mother s thing that I wish tot have my mind satisfied upen; and that is, the Address of the House of Commoni,' and the answer of his Majesty to it, that we may sal by what authority 'ti cause comes here. . . Mr. Justice Laivnitscp—linit will come 'in WI course, but I - stated My notion that the question vrasi not as it 'Was Stated, in order that the Learned Sere. jeant might apply himself tp prove whatthe questiosiel .• - was. - • Mr. Serjeant SnePmann—My Let* it-is of-irert, ' great importance to us that we should' nnderstnn4 which we Shall do, and whatevei yin* Lordship deb dares, r am sure we shall submit to tea dily;: what is the ground of objection which . My' friend *as to. takein this case, and I will tell yont Lordsbip why I say this; Ido feel. what your LOiddzip Stated is 4 difficulty, 'and I have no hesitation in stating, that . ',I. alvrtys felt so ; but it is of extreme importance' too us. I jcn6u your Lordship cannot trevel'etit of I re. cord, but it is of extreme importance tel VieliPlW for other purposes, considering in Wh t atwiy this dale tomes here, that it should be well understood that that is the ground . on which the defence is rested,.and on which your Lordship feels bound to say, that we can. not recover. Now, my Lord, I will Ariake one ob, vaeon en this subject. There ace other ease l s in. which, sometimes, under an order of the Lord C hats. cellor, where the Court has been order to receive documents in evidence, which,. in fact, is the common ordinary case. I recollect a case, I think it was be fore Lord Chief Justice .Alvanley, where an objection vac made to the legality of the evidence, and his Lordship said there, , 4 I must look at the record, and try the case by the rules of evidence and law. If the other side chuses to take the objection, I will receive the chjection if they make it ; but the question is, it' in the teeth of the Lord Chancellor's Order they will make the objection, and will act upon it." But if the objection is not made, your Lordship will receive the evidence which is offered. All I would submit to your Lordship is, whether e if I produce the Order, and they do not put4he objection to it in that shape on theother side, your Lordship would permit us to go on ? Mr. Justice Lewitteei--I understand the Order to deprive them of a .particular sort of defence ; but you 'must prove your case as it is in the pleadings.- They cannot stand upon that defence, which, by the Order, they arc not alloned to make, but you must prove, at least, an implied agreement on the . part of Mr. Mortlock in sotrie of your coUntF. I can only Lel: at the record,but at the same time, I take it for granted, that they will not insist upon it. This case mast be ivied like others e like the 'caseof an issue, and the plaintiff make out the allegations.. II do no; 04 ortthe record, that that which you stated .to be -the question is the question. Mr. Serjeanc Snaps nn—.Then, on the Other part, I. submit to your Lordship, thaf, , vo are entitled, as against Me. Mortlock, .to gO on , the '-*.ipteMoint• - •- - Your Lordship sees, that Mr. Palstso • Watt . toisi have two and a half per cent. . audaas far AA'Olitt . *is' paid, it was paid out of the revenues of the Post Cofhce, and theft, we submit to . your ,Lordship that Mr. Mortlock being Receiver General of the Post Office, and having to receive the money, andnot being pee -1 bitted to set up the defence of his being a public officer, it I shew that there wis an agreement with the public, that is to say, with.„Mr. Pitt,' - ihe Chan . teller of the Exchequer at the. time, to entitle him to. receive from Mr. Mortlock out of the revenues of the Post Office two anti a half: per ,Cents Mr; Mortlock mould be liable for money Isad.and received. . Mr. Justice Lavntr.tic- , No; 'unless you tan shew ' Cat Nr..lsiortlock was bound ..by 14W - to pay this ' 30,0n0y to Mr. Palmer, and upon Ills paying' it s . ~fiat , Paltrier'; receipt would be a Sufficient ellscbar:ge to him as Receiver general of the'Post Office.

' '. - - 511t ;Sterj . eint Stistetenis--ieVirould your Lordship - Punk rue Juskto say one word upon this *Order ? I 'mit here, if, I am doing wrong, your Lordship will excuse it. It is this, your Lordship observes, that the Order to .which I have alluded, points out; that 21e Receiver General is to defend such action. Yo r , Lordship o b serves , t hat the first part of the Ordei _ on the claims, I will read the very words of it.'' Address of the House of Contrnons is this.: . j.` . "..' ' [Mr. Serjeant Sunni eau reed the Addriss 4O'llie ' Court.] • 2.i ' . . 91 . That, my Lord, I humbly submit under the otdeit is this. It is pointed out almost by his Majesty, th Is, by his Majesty's acceding to the wish of 'Ai; House, that Mr. Moidock is the person a whom the action is to be brought, and if it . ' .. lii again s t an y body else, the non-liabilitf.tif 4'' public Officer might have been set up, becauseir s' oily to t hi s O r d er , an d I conce i ve t he . . nie aelis ' :bf te the Order is this—an agreement is claimed to be `made with the publi c , Or with sOMehody. t put ?of. ward Mr. Mortlock, in order to try the agreement, and it is declated, that he shall•not set up themon liability of a Public Officer, and therefore I conceive, that the fact is the same as if an Issue had been granted. If an Issue had been granted, it is very well known, that it would nit signify who was the plaintiff and defendant, and that Order puts us in the same situation as if an Issue had been granted to try the question. Mr. .Justice LAWRENCE-4 cannot agree with you in that, Brothet Shepherd. Thus far I do agree with you : In consequence of the Address, the Re. Ceiver-Geaeral•is to defend the action, but it is left to you to frame the action, and to put it in such form as yon think lit ; and if you put it in a form such es not: to prove your case, it does not prove that you are nonentitled to recover if you put your case in another" If you had put your case in the form of an Issue, though if you could or not I do not know, but g it. had been an Issue' to determine what was the ' agreement, I should have known what was to be tri- e& The House desires the Receiver-General to de lend the action, itcl he does so ; but he is directed not: to set up two, defences, viz. the Statute of Li taisatieue and hiiliaii-riabifity ; but it left the plain- tiff-mazy in.what way -i-it by a bill in equity, or by an action at lair, and in what way the action is to be -.shaped, .and I must try it as other actions ; and the Aitentiens on . the inward are, if Mr. . Mortlock has teitheretpresslt•ot implicitly entered into the con- I mitt ? That. is one of the questions in the counts of ' the declaration., He says he has not, and I have no , titlioriV to try any thing else. •Mr,•Serjeant Lasts.—My Lord, I do not wish to re=argue the question, but only to submit whether i your Lordship cannot indulge the Plaintiff so far as, i if the objection is not made on the other side, to re- , lieve him from that which is an insuperable difficulty. i We were under the invincible necessity of bringing it .r in this way. I should hope that they would consent j to wave the objection, which if they did not, we felt • from the first it would be impossible to proceed.— I The question is, whether your Lordship may not i collect from some express ded.iration, whether this money was.not Paid ? It i.•! objection is waved, then ; there will he no diffimt k is the record, as there are in it general counts fli• ultiney* had and received.— That cannot be hastily insisted upon ; but unless it is put in the shape of an objection from the defendant,' your Lordship mig;it permit as to go on. Your Lord- 1 ' shrti irilt Consider the difficulty in.which we stand.— ' e queition is, whether the other side may not al low us to proited; and if your Lordship may not, [ ander vairntlibissismal. try the question? • Mr Justice L'alenzacz.—You know that the Jury are sworn, and I am sworn, and it is my duty to try 1 AileAssßejoined.between the parties., and I cannot do otherwise, . ; The Jury are sworn, and I am to admi , nister : jAsti..., AO not to try questions other . than wbai the re'asid raises. . fs , lr. Serießat LEICS.—But what I submit, my Lord, is, whether this admission from the other side, will not bring it within the Record ? - Mr. Justice LAWRENCE.—UnIess you shew that the Receiver-aeneral has received some of the money I which he might pay to the plaintiff against the will 1 of the Post-Maser-General, and produce his receipt in discharge, it will not do ; but if he wants an au thority to do that which he has not had, I cannot i t say; in point of law,. that you .can recover.

Sir—Yesterday tnoning we hove in sight of a ship, which,, upon being chaced, manoeuvred suspiciously, and excited our best endeavours to come up with her. After a chace to windward of seven hours and a half, the superior sailing of his Majesty's schooner under my command brought us alongside ; and the mu ment hailed, the stranger hoisted Dutch colours, commenced action, and attempted to run us down ; we were fully prepared to meet him, and avoiding his bows, continued to engage so closely, and with Such good effect, that, in the course of an hour, the 'enemy made sail *and, endeavoured to escape before the wind ; we. were thni brought into running fight for four hours, when I had the pleasure to find the Batavian flag was hauled down, being hailed that they had struck. On taking possession of our capture, we found she was the Dutch national corvette de Havik, com mander! by Mynher J. Sterling, Lieutenant of Ma rine, mounting ten guts, pierced for eighteen, with 62 men, and having on board the Batavian Admiral Btiyskes, with his suite, late Lieutenant-Governor and Commander in Chief at Batavia, from that island bound to New York, and partly loaded with spices and indigo. One man on board the enemy was killed, the Ad minil and seven men badly wounded. The loss on the part of the Thistle was Samuel Hobbs, a priiitte marine, killed, myself and six men wounded. At an early part of the action three of - our catro nades were dismounted, but the gallant conduct of every one of my crew readily replaced this damage, bravely emulating each other in supporting the su periority of the British flag, I am) &c. , (Signed) P.
