This important cause, involving property to the amount of 860,000, was decided by Sir WILLIAM GRANT, after hearing Sir A. PIGOTT, Sir SAMUEL I ROMILLY, Mr. RUSSELL, Mr. O'DEDY, and other Cistinsel. It appeared from the pleadings, that the defendant, a great manufacturer, had, in the course of pecuniary dealings with the plaintiffs, his bankers, deposited title deeds of a copylrold estate, accompanied with a note in writing to the following effect : I send you these deeds as a collateral security for Arcton's and my bills." This Areton drew bills, previously to the de- • posits made, upon Horwood to a great amount, which Horwood indorsed and discounted with his bankers. There were also bills of Horwood in their hands dis tinct from those drawn by Arcton, and the great point was to ascertain the extent to which a lien or equitable mortgage was created on the deposit. Hor wood and.Arcton are both dead, and since the decease of the latter, his executors have paid off the amount of the bills which he originally drew in favour of Horwood, and they claimed a lien for so much on the deposit in the bankers' hands ; but the bankers said that the deposit was given as well for payment of their general balance as for debts antecedently due, and therefore refused. His HONOUR decreed, that the surety, in all cases of deposits, was entitled, upon paying off the sum he had engaged for, to stand in the situation of the cre ditor paid by him, and therefore that Arcton had a lien on the title-deeds in the hands of the bankers for the debt discharged ; and that the plaintiffs, the bankers, had also a right to a further lien upon the title-deeds for such sums as were due at the time of the delivery of the deposit, but not beyond that for a general balance.—These points are of great conse quence to commercial men. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 14. VERNEY v. GRANGE, This was an action to recover SA, as the value of a horse or poney sold by the defendant to the plaintiff, he (the plaintiff) having no right to sell the poney, it being the property of another person, to whom the plaintiff, on evidence to that effect, had restored it. The price given by the pla;ntiff for the pone)? was £B, and he now brought his action for £'2'2, being the increased value of the poney, in consequence of the plaintiff's having kept him at grass, by which he got into an improved condition. It appeared that the poney in question was the property of a person of the name of Chad, rind having strayed upon the manor of Aldingham, in Hertfordshire, one Corley, steward or bailiff to Mr. Thellusson, the Lord of the Manor, thought fit to sell him to the present defendant, in forming him, however, that he was a stray, and sti pulating that, in the event of his being claimed, the poney should be restored, and the price repaid. The defend , nt afterwards sold the poney to the plaintiff, as the evidence for the plaintiff went to chew, without disclosing the fact of his being a stray, though this latter fact was contradicted by two witnesses for the defendant. Lord ELLMCROROUGH reprobated in very strong terms the conduct of the bailiff. That of which he had been guilty was a very shameful practice, and a gross abuse of the law. Stray horses ought to be kept for a certain period of time, in an open place, for the purpose of being reclaimed, and not, as in the present instance, be almost immediately sold, as lawful prize. Such practice was a prodigious encou rage ment to stealing of horses in the neighbourhood. His Lordship was of opinion, however, as some of the witnesses swore that the plaintiff, when he pur chased the poney, was informed that he was a stray, that he-must be understood to have bought him with all the comingepcies annexed to such a character—so that the plaintiff was entitled only to the Nice paid by him to the defendant. Verdict for the plaintiff— Damages XS. BARNWELL V. PRICE, BART. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who was steward or butler to Lor l d Kerry, to recover from the defendant, styling himself Sir Edward O'Bryen Price, Bart. the sum of £126, being money paiA by the plaintiff fur the defendant's use. It appeared that the defendant, who issued £1 and 22 notes as a country banker, at Castle Carey, in So mersetshire, had introduced himself to the plaintiff, stating his belief, that the plaintiff's wife and Lady Price were cousins ; had prevailed on him to take his country notes in exchange for Bank of England notes, with which he was formerly in the use of paying the wages of his fellow -servants, the accounts of his Lord's tradesmen, &c. ; and had even induced him to accept bills for the defendant at different times.— For one of these bills, amounting to £lOO, and for country banking notes, under the firm of Sir Edward O'Bryen Price and Co. for 41 and £2, to the nomi nal value of Je26 more, was this action brought, the payment of which on account of the defendant being proved by his own letters, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 8126. 11ORNBY I'. MUNRO, BART. This was an action of trespass and false imprison ment, brought by the plaintiff, an iron-monger, in Tottenham-court-Road, against the defendant, Sir Hugh Munro, Bart. From the evidence adduced it appeared, that the defendant, under a forgetfulness of an order he had given the plaintiff to provide him with two stoves ; and ario in the heat of passion arising from an over- I charge of six keys furnished by the plaintiff, had sent 1 for him to his (the Baronet's) house, where he charg ed him with having acted in a swindling manner.— The plaintiff, on this, threatened an action for the amount of his account, and was about to depart, when Sir Hugh declaring he should depart not till he had either settled his account or given him an oppor tunity of tendering the money, pulled the key out of the street door, as if he had locked it. The plaintiff, under this impression, followed Sir Hugh back into his study, when the key was immediately given to the servant, that the plaintiff might have it in his power to depart when he chose; but, before he did depart, he gave down I Is. of a charge of £1 16s. he had made for six keys, made some other deduc tions from his accodnt, received payment of it, thus adjusted, and gave a receipt for the amount. Lord ErzstesonouGH, in these circumstances, thought this action had proceeded on wrong advice. 11e therefore recommended, that a Juryman might be withdrawn. The Conasel far the plaintiff would re collect th it he had some power as to costs in it case of this kind. Mr. PARKE, for the plaintiff, assented, and a Jut/. man was withdrawn. BIGLEY .. BOWATER. This was an action to recover damages for a mali cious prosecution. 1 Mr. GARROW stated the case.—This was one of the cases which peculiarly illustrated the excellence of British law, by sheaving that no difference of rank, no reputation or fortune, could exempt any man from being forced to respect the rights of his fellow men, or if he forget that respect, forgetting it at his peril. The Plaintiff' and Defendant were in ranks of society al most as distinct from each sther as it would be possi ble to conceive. . The Plaintiff was a post-chaise boy at Hampton Court e the Defendant a man of rank and fortune—an Admiral in the British service. Yet it was against such a man, that the Plaintiff came :o demand justice from an English Jury. Mr. Garrow then went into a humourous detail of the case :—Ad miral Bowater lived at Hampton Court, and it un luckily happened that on one of the fine eights cflast summer, a few people returning from some country • festivity, an& not being acquainted with the gallant veteran's antipathy to music, struck up a chorus as they were passing his house. This probably would have been no very serious grievance to any man who was not altogether adverse to the " Concord of sweet sounds." It might, gentlemen, have been rather op. pressive to the nerves of a pregnant woman ; but I will not allow myself to imagine the gallant Admiral to have been under those circumstances ; I believe it has not been given in evidence ; • I am almost positive that it is not stated in my brief. Yet, gentlemen, if the style of the performance was not of the ni s dul cet order, the subject might have been suppbsed to harmonize with the feelings of the gallant Admiral. What do you suppose the songs t 6 have been, some thing roaring and riotous, something rebellious or revolutionary ? No, Gentlemen of the Jury, the sere nade, which disturbed the gallant Admiral, was made up of ' Rule Britannia,' and' Gon save the King.'— The concert was at once interrupted by the throwing up of a windew, and a loud voice uttering this alarming denunciation,' Get off you rascals, or I'll shoot you. ' The musicians were perplexed for awhile; butat length conceiving that they had not earned sudden death in any satisfactory manner, and at least determining to be I good-humoured as long as they were allowed to live, , they began their concert again, with 6 Cease rude Bo reas, blustering railer.' Now, Gentlemen, you have all heard something of the effects of music in the days of old. This was' the witching timeo'thenight; the song was given in a full chorus of roughenusie. I proceed in the tale : the incantation produced its effect ; the gates of the chateau were suddenly thrown open ; and there i appeared berore the astonished minstrel:, a ' formidable ishalte,'a figure in a Rowing robe,caparisoned from' head to f oot'—the Admiral in his night-cap and slippers ! The concert was dissolved in an instant; the spirit had been called up, but it was, unfortunately for the enchanters, not to be so easily laid again. On the • next morning, the gallant Admiral went to Mr. Hip person, the keeper of the King's-Arms, and gave a summary order for the discharge of the unfortunate minste4s. General measures arc supposed to be most effectual ; anti the Admiral's order was, that the Innkeeper shoul.i, at the moment, discharge every chaise-lniy in his service. Now, Gentlemen of the Jury, if a servant of mine had offended a gentleman, and the compl not was fairly made to me, I would discharge him at once, whatever might be my value for him. But if any man, no matter what might be his rank in life, were to come, and without conde scending to point out the offender, ,ive a sweeping order for the dismission of all my s....rviults at once, I would certainly reuse to give him the slightest satis faction on the subject, and tell him that if be finget his duty, I did not Itirget mine, and.that I would pro tect my servants. The Innkeeper plainly refused to strip himself of all his servants at once, in spite of some threats of having his licence taken from him ; • but offered to discharge any one witom the Admiral could point out. Four boys were then named as be i ing among the musicians ; of those, two were not in the Innkeeper's service ; and of the other two the pre ' sent plaintiff had gone to bed an hour before the i alledged tumult. The plaintiff, and another boy who 1 is plaintiff in a succeeding action, were next morning brought before Mr. Serjeant Marshall, one of the 1 neighbouring Magistrates. They were remanded and ordered to appear en the following Saturday. In the mean time they were dismissed from Mr. Flipper son's i the service. On Saturday they n ere brow ht up, after having been imprisoned the night before by the head ! borough, and the Admiral then abandoned his charge against the plaintiff, as'not having been among the rioters !" This statement was substantiated by evi , dente. Mr. PARK, in a very ingenious speech, defended the conduct of the Admiral,- ascribed whatever inc. gularity there might appear in the proceeding, to the irritation of a series of insults which had been offered to the Admiral and his family by the servants of the King's Arms. Their o-mmon name for him was. 6 4 Two pounds ten," from some ridiculous story which they had circulated through the village. • It was-proved in evidence, that a postlyv's horn and a double drum were among the instruments of the serenade, and that the imprisonment was merely a colour for swelling the damages, the prisoners har,r ing been let out immediately after their confinement in the round-house, adjourning to a good supper, to which the headborough was invited at the time ; and after drinking and sleeping at theii Idierty. during the night, going into the round-house for a few milaites next morning before they went to the Magistrates. • Lord ELLexanttot , ois in charging the Jnry, ac. quitted the defendant of all malicious itivoiti.in, and advised them, if they were induced to find for the plaintiff, to find a verdict for only nomitril damages.
