.1- I • I t , Paid to the Defeinlint, as underwriter of a 'policy of insurance on a vessel from •She Ria de la Plata to England. The ship sailed in the month of March 'without illy, licence from the South Sea Company, and was lost in the July following, about which time the owners ob tained far the vessel a retrospective licence, Which the Lord Chief Justice at the trial of the close thought was not legal for the purposes of this voyage, and the Plaintiff sato nonsuited. . Mr, Rlcuattosox now moved to set aside the non suit. He quoted authority to support the legality of such a licence es the South Sea Company had given in the prevent instance ; end The COURT expressing a disposition to consider them, granted a Rule to show cause. couaT OF COUNION PLEAS, JAN. 23. DONNELLY V. DANN Ali. This was an action on a Bill of Exchange for 3001. at two months, drawn by the Plaintiff, and accepted by the Defendant. After the acceptance bad been proved, Mr. Serjeant BUT said, it was one of the most im pudent actions ever brought before a Court. This Bill had been given by the Defendant to Donnelly for another Bill, drawn by a person named Hud son, on Henry Roper Curzon, of Portman-square, %Wei. into his Banker,. This Bill of Cur zon's orr-ptance had been, to use the Learned Ser jeant's expression, concocted in usury. Donnelly knew, at the time he passed the Bill, that it was usurious, because he had given only 2701. for it, reserving- thirty pounds for discount. Mr. Serjeant Best then proposed calling Mr. Hudson to prole his Case, ;IA Mr. Serjeant LENS objected to him as an interested wit tress. The Ctutr JUSTICE over-ruled the objection. Mr. Hudson being in the box, was shown the Bill accepted by Curzon. The witness admitted that he drew it on Curzon,- having advanced him upwards of 30001. The latter being in want of a further supply, the Bill was draw it. The witness having some transactions with Donnelly, who had acted as his Attorney, in Ire land, he sent the Bill to Mm to 'get it dieconsted.— Donnelly discounted it, and paid him only 2701. de ducting 301. foe discount. With respect to Curzon's Bill, the witness considered it as good as the Bank. of England, because Mr. Corson would, neat week, he said, be in the receipt of 170,0001. Before Don nelly discounted it, he took it to Houlditch and .Co. ill Loosz Arre, to ask whether it was good, and arcs int'Orbed it was good. •The Bill, however,. was not paid, and the Defendant, feelieg that he had not received a valuable consideration for the Bill given in lieu of it, refused to pay his acceptance when due. Sir V►c situ Gana. asked Mr. Sorjemit Lens what he had to say in reply to the defence, and whether • he thought a good consideration for the • Bill which was the subjrct of action could he.mode out ? It ap peared in evidence that the Defendant had taken Curzon's acceptance in professed ignorance of the , tranisction between Curzon and Hudson. Lie sup posed it a good Bill, and paid it into thtleands of his banker. • Mr. Serjeant LENS, after some farther observations on the part of the Learned Judge, .rather averse to the Plaintiff's case, declined addressing the Jury in reply, and informed hie- Lordship that the Plaintiff would submit to a uousuit. He was accordingly nonsuited. PREROGATIVE COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS, .I*N. - 95. CHALMERS V. C.A.THERWOOD AND OTHERS. This case came before the Court on the admission of the attention. The question arose with respect to several unexecetett papers propounded as codicils to the will of William Looker, formerly of Great Cirter-lane, Doctors' Commons, and lately of the Fichte* Office, end •of Islington, in the County of Middlesex, Gentleman, deceased. It appeared that the deceased died on the 25th of .November the'adranced age of 70 years and upwards, his death having been occasioned by being ran over by a carriage, leaving a widow, three sons, and one daughter. That in the year 1807 he made a formal will, attested by witnesses, in which be gave to his daughter Charlotte 9'21. per annum, and totally excluded his eldest son ; that afterwards he drew up a paper be Celled a codicil, in which he gave to his daughter Charlotte 1001. per annum ; that by an other paper he made a 'farther provision .for his dmighter, by giving her 1001. per annum, and the use of his hooserind furniture daring her life. The Court (Sir Jon's litcnor.t.) after recapitelat, ing the articles of the allegation, was clearly of opi nion that those several Unexecuted papers were to be ctinsidered only as deliberative memorandums, and therefore pronounced for the regular executed paper, dated in 1807, as containing the last will and testa ment of the deceased, and rejected the allegation.
