COURT OV KING'S BENCH, JANUARY IL EVERT!! ANOTHEIt V. SMITH. This was an action on a policy of insurance at and from Riga to London, on a ship which had bebn thartered from London to Riga. or any part of the taltici to bring back a cargo. On her arrival at Riga - the Master applied for his Pipers at the Cut. tom-house, but was refused them, on the ground' that the ship-was under Restock colours, and cautioned.to l load at his peril. This detention by the Government Russia continued for - five weeks. Within a few days after the expiration 'of which; the frost set in, the goods for which the'ship was chartered having in the mean while been forwarded by another vessel. - ion the breaking of the frost, the Master procured another freight ; •the profits of which, however, were more than exhausted by the expepees incfrrr ed by wintering at Riga: Under these circumstances, the 'owners hsd recovered against the underwriters the sum for which they were insured, allowing them in *deduction the amount of theireght received. In the lourse of the last terth, Mr. MARRTAT obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that nothing -hdving been put on board within the 40 remaining digs, and tile ten days of demurrage allowed, the 'plaintiffs were not entitled to' recover. In shewing, cause against * this rule, Serjeant BEST and Mr. 'PADDY 'argued_ bn the tonlvority of Thomson and Taylor, 6 ' '. Term Reports 475, and liorncastle and Sawer, 7 East 400, that it was not necessary to load the goods on board; but that sailing to the t pott at which they were to be taken 'in, was such a commencement of earning the profit insured; as to entitle the assured to recover ; and that though in all these cases the loss bad been total, this did not alter the principle, that an insurance of the freighters has no reference to the ship, but merely frofl the profits arising from the carriage of the goods. The trost setting in soon after the expiration of the live brisk: dersedun, occasioned' (as tbeftbit ' Frets ortievil ft* Weis the platiffs' hid insured h: riot did theallo'wanee of the ten days demurrage compel the freighters to wain their expiration befotrenthey determined to . abanclou tin loading—that allowance was,a privilege, not a compulsion. Ectxxitoit'oncirgi At the insurers trier wwere acquainted with die charter party, they iusOred 'no particular freights You have had a freight, and the onlyquestion is, whether, ,by the act of detention you firer so long •sfelnyef. as froth the Subsequent setting in 4f The Wore you•iiere prevented from pro curing a litneficial freight, and so obliged yo to take up with one which would not pay the expellee' of detention I" Serjeaut soartrati P and Mr. MAItRYAT, on the 'other side, contended, that the plaintiffs not haviig been insured against loss on a particular freight, the, insurers were exonerated, by the safe arrival of a, freight from London to Riga, which was all_ they. engaged for. That the underwriters do not insure against delays i by centrary winds, or frost ; and that the detention by the Government did not prevent the ships loading within the 50 days allowed, as in the case of Anderson v. Morabbar. In support of their. argument, they referred to the case of Macarty v. Abel, 5 East. 388; and to that of Andersori v. Wal lis, in the last term, in which k was held that the loss of a specific voyagy_ after the ship having sus tainekinjuries of the sea, would not justify an aban dontnent of the voyage. • Lord ELLENnottouoir—a The first detentionleing by the Russian Government, we must refer 'hat oc casioned by the setting in of the frost to this new, cause of delay. Before giving its decision, the Court, however, will look 'into the two last cases."—Judg ment postponed. HARPER v. WAIVER. This was an application to set aside a nonsuit and to grant a new trial. The action was tried at Wor cester, last Assizes, before Mr. Justice DAMPIER.— It - was brought for meat, drink;sbedicine, money, and necessaries supplied to. the.defendant's wife, he having abandoned her. When the officer's interfered for the prior woman, she being sick and withoutsfood, the husband said, 4 , he would not give her a farthing if it would save her life." • ".1 Mr. Justice DANH'IER interrupted the arguments, as to whether the Rule should be made absolute or not, by observing, that he Certainly had suffered the nonsuit to be entered improperly, considering all the circumstances. Wheis he acquiesced in the sugges tiian:.—to allow a nonsuit; to - be entered—it was after a most exhausting have of fifteen or sixteen hours application that day to the business of the Assizes. Rule for the new trial made absolute. SURREY SESSIONS. Swift was yesterday - indicted and found guilt , for a public nuisance under the 4th and Sth of William 111. fbr exposing to sale squibs, serpents, trackers, and lire-works of other descriptions, tothe great danger and annuyatese of the public, and con trary to the statute. Mr. LAWS in opening the case observed,,that this was a prosecution brought forward at the recommen-• dation of the Magistrates of Union-Hall, who, how- Ter, did not by it seek to punish the defendant with severity, hut only to inform him, and -others acting like him, that the Act upon which the present indict ment was founded, and which so far back as the reign of William 111. was passed for the protection of the public t _though it had not lately been acted upon, was 01 in force. The Officers had information of the defendant be ing in the habit of selling fire-works,- and searched his premises, .where they discovered a vast quantity of fire-works of various sizes and descriptions, amount ing in number 4°,19,600, and weighing upwardi of 6 ewt. several of these, singly, were large enough to have spread ruin through the. neighbourhood, had they by accident exploded. • The Court - in pronouncing sentence observed, that the o ffi cers had in this instance most properly dis charged their duty to the public,' whose safety was endangered by the defendant keeping a large quantity of combustible materials in his house. The-,Magis trates had also acted most commendably in directing the queill. , n to be brought.. before the Court in the shape it had been ; punishment, - tor past offences, however, was not their object, and he, trusted the present prosecution would operate to secure the pub lic safety for the future). under this persuasion the Court would content itself with only imposing a fine of 20s. on the defendant, which he paid and was dis. charged. • QUEEN-SQUARE. AitUTar.Cßuziair..Yesterday a woman, of the satee ofSeposisi, was brought before the Sitting Ma gistrate, at Qaeen's-square, by Lavender, charged on suipiCion of baying caused' the death oi Aaron Per-, rote, a lad bout aixteen years old, entrusted to her care by virtue of her office. It appeared that the prisoner was employed as a burse in the 'Westminster Infirmary, and in consequence of the boy being afflic ted with' a severe fever. it.was deemed neces4ary to place him in this- Hospital. It was stated by three witnesses who were patients in the same ward, .that on Saturday ;night the boy gave the prisoner some slight provocation, and in order to have full resent ment for the offence, she forcibly dragged the unfor tunate boy from his, bed, and with dreadful impreca tions threw hill) on thifloor, where she violated every rule of humanity' by beating' him most violently ; not contenied with this,' she , proceeded to kick him des perately. The 'unfortunate lad shewed great- symp toms of extreme illness after this, and after languish ing until Sunday ,evening he expired. The Magis-, trate reprobated her conduct, but in the present state of the circumstances, ordered that she be committed until Monday next, by which time -the case will be fully investigated. Wednesday se'nnight, a party. of recruits .were coming up Townsend-street, Dublin, from the depqt, when they were assailed by a party of butchers and coal-porters, who with shovels and staves pursued them into Westmoreland-street so great was the riot that the Bank Guard was about to be called, when Mark Magrath, Esq. who happened to be passing at the time, presently interfered , and with the assistance of some Gentlemen passing, succeediod in taking into custody one of the ruffians, who was in the act of striking a man on the ground with a large shovel; he Wit 3 brought to Duke-street. He is_ a coal-porter, of the name 'of James Eustace. He was committed to Newgate. • r • ''Yfit'amitkAA: •••arms;4••••••••• • • In this Capital, the great accumulation of sno4 al teadOseaped on the ground, and condensed ,by three br four,eiteks- of cOntinned frost , was on Wednely i intreated 6ra fresh, fall, to a height 'hardly k in the . .-triemOry of The oldest inhabitants. The'enldi has•been intensely severe, the sisow .during the last, fall. being accompanied with a .sharp wind, and.a' moieture. In many places, where the houses , . lasi 'ad, it beeame necessary to relieve the roofs, by Alirtiveuttisff the load collected upon them ; and by' theseittetilethe carriage-ways in the middle of the 'streets are made of a depth hardly passable for pedes trians, while carriages. with difficulty plough their way through the mass. The water-pipes being gene. ly frozen, it has become necessary for several days to afford supplies by opening the plugs in the streets, and the streams thus constantly flowing, add to the general mass of ice. An enormous increase has taken place id the price of coals, in consequence of the river -navigation and other mean's of conveyance being so greatly impeded. Yestetday the Thames from Blackfriars to London Bridge, at ebb tide, was completely blocked up. At Basingstoke, Hampshire, at seven o'clock on Monday morning the 10th instant, Fahrenheit's ther , ometer stood 3 degrees below 0 rat ten o'clock, it rose to 8 above, and did net rise much higher during the day : at seven in the evening,- is sunk to 3 de. grecs above 01 but at ten o'clock it got up to 12- Imm which time to the 17th it stood at from 8 de -grecs to 20. • •r A gentleman was thrown dqwn in Holborn yester days in consequence of slipping, from the frozen hil locks in the front of ajekveller's shop, when his head came in contact with an iron scraper, by which it was severely cut : on rising, he was so mach irritated, that with his stick he broke ten panes of glass, which he refused to pay for, and was borne out by the mob. This may operate as a caution to prevent similar in attention to the public safety in future. Litf with Monday last_Ganam Bxfuse, Esq. so well known in the neighbourhood of Bullock, for his hospitality and obliging disposition, went out in the morning ac companied by lour others in a boat, to fish with lines. Not having returned, after a diligent-search; the boat was found near Ringsend, but, alas 1. no trace of BYRNE' or his companions, who, it is much feared. have all fallen victims to the severity of the weather, Last week a labouring man, passing through Hin derwell.fields, near Hull, on his stay to work, disco vered a person lying at a little distance from the road, nearly in a state of inseniibbity, with his hall frozen to the ground. Assistance being procured, he was' , conveyed to a house in the neighbouring village of Ellerby, where, Xeftwithstanding' every' means used for his recovery, he expired in about an hour after wards, The' unfortunate' man - premed to be. Mr. J Mennel, pl.:Whitby, who, it appears, hid fallen an tibhappy vietitif.to intemperance and the inclemency of the weather, having left Smiths about ten o'clock the preceding evening, in a 'state of intoxication, and, it is supposed, had afterwards lost his way. A respettable dressed man was found lying in the road, leading from Longford to Upham, on 'tuesday night, frozen to death. The deceased.turned out to be a Mr. Aphorne, a grazier at Coltsworth. He had left Hounslow at dusk cat Mondiy evening, after having drank tolerably freely,and proposed to go that night to Marlow. His tsetse was found in a field by the road side, and had evidently been down ; therefore, it is supposed, the - demised was -somewhat stunned, and unable to assist himself. He had pro perty in his pocket to the amount of £tio, besides a w,atch and pocket-book-a-some memorandums in which led to the'discovefy who he was. Tuesday a poor woman, flamed Wood, while cossing Blackheath from Lea to the village of Charlton, accompanied by her two children, was un fortunately benighted, and missed her way. After various efforts to extricate herself she fell into a hole, and was nearly buried in snow. From this', how ever, she cofttrived to escape, and again proceeded, but at length, being completely exhausted, and her children benumbed with cold, she was constrained to sit down'on the trunk of a tree, where, wrapping her Children in her cloak, she endeavouted by loud cries, to attract the attention. of some passenger. Her shrieks at length were heard by a waggoner, who humanely waded through the snow to her assistance, and, taking her children, who seethed in a torpid state, in his alms, conducted her to a public house, where she receivecrevery humane assistance ; one of her poor, infants was found to be completely dead, and the other as recovered 'with extreme difficulty. LIVERPOOL, JANUARY 17.--We have now had three weeks of the most rigorous frost which has been re-i membered in this country for a great number of years. On Friday, Fahrenheit's thermometer stood at 15 de grees (17 below •the freezing point), ,at the Arhe nzum ; in the country it was no doubt much lower. Such a quantity of ice has been accumulated in the' Mersey, that boats dohld hot pass over. • Almost every kind of - labour performed without doors it nearly at a stand. BRISTOL, JANUARY 18.—The frost continues in this city and neighbouthbod with unusual severity. Our -Floating Harbour now exhibits quite a novel scene:: from Cumberland Basin to the Feeder, at the bottom 'of Avon-street, it is one continued sheet of ice ; and for the first time in the memory of man, the skaiter made his-appearance under Bristol Bridge. The tiver Severn is also frozen over at various points, so as to bear the weight of passengers. 'launch JAN. 15.—The weather has been more se vere in this country, for the last week, than has been remembered for twenty years. Heavy falls of snovi, succeeded by hard frosts, - have rendered all travel ling by coach impracticable, and even on horseback highly dangerous. The mail coach, Which started from this town for Exeter on Tuesday morning, was overturned after haying proceeded a few miles, hut happily no material injury was sustained, by either passengers, driver, or guard. With much difficulty the coach was enabled, with the assistance of an ad ditional pail of horses, to reach the first stage ; after which all endeavours to go further were found per fectly useless. The letters were, hdkezever, sent to. Bodmin by the guard on horseback. The Falmouth and Plymouth Coach has also been prevented from travelling by the snow, and the pisseugers have been obliged to.remain at St. Austell. The weather has been more severe on the coast during this week than has ever been remembered- by the oldest pets-tans. , . • rstorzwira stistitrltreor rift •.1 • .
