WILLER. This action was trivet at the last sittings at Guildhall, before the L,xd•Cttief-Ju•:tice, on the loth of Ow pre- Mot month ; au account of the trial is given at length :n our paper of the 12th. It was an action brought by the Spanibh owner of a sLve.ship against a Captain of the British navy, Mr taking out of the plaintiffs ship certain slaves, goods, and stores. The I xarned on the trial, doubted w nether the plaintiff could support his action in a British Court of Justice, for the amount of the blares, and the Jury being directed to Mid the value of the slaves, gave damages for the loss of them, to the amount of 18,1801 and gave a verdict Mr the plain tiff, for 3,0061. including tl►.s auto, subject to thetipt- Mon of the Coon, whedscr the verdict as to the sum of 18,1801. could ne supported; and now Mr. Jervis too. vett, that the damages so ,iven should he reduced to the amount of the value of the slaves, on .the gromul that this trifle havinA IA en declared to he illegal by the sta tutes 47th Geo. session I, cap. Vii, 51st Geo. ill, cap. 23, and ;Atli Geo. 111, Cali. 36, Ilse plaintiff could not, ite a Braisti Cour. of Justice, seek a compensation for the loss (dawn,. The I.ORD Cutae JUSTIC.: said, that the words of the act of aim Geo. I l I, c.:'3, were very exiensne : they declared t h e dealing its slaves to be unlawful, and con trary to the principles ()limner, I anity. and tiound policy. It occurred to him, at the trial of the C.lllSe, that it was doubtful whedu r the pl IT could Termer damages for such a loss in a British Coon ofjusdee, and be theretore is kited the point to be reserved lot t..e sirCre solemn d. Cl3lOll of i sell . and cis Mother Judge, ; on looking two tlie Acts, it DoW apikrdtett u, Inns, that notwithatainitstg their general language, tile plaintiff was eutitied .to recover the t aim uf. the slaves. The THE NATIONAL REGISTER. words of ;,::is, large as they were, could only aptly to lice sui t tecis of tins kiii4tioto ; for over those onit hail the Parham: 4n and laws Of this country any ainhorgiv. His Lordship ohs:lived that, by the last of elm: acts, a compvtisThoo of 44)0,00o:. was to I.e gii tai the King of Spain, as a reninoriation for losses sus tained by his subjects oil ariconto of the seizing: of slates by British subjects antecedent in the treaty. The reason of this sum being goer' to the &Mg of Spain was, that this was a simpler mode of satisCaction : if the individual such-rein hail beet' put to seek their several remedies against those who had injured them. it would have led to great trouble and litigation, aml perhaps some of the parties so sued would not have liCell able to pay tne da maae•; a gross stun vats, therefore, g,veti to the King of Spain that he might mot of it satisfy his subjects, for their several losscs. By :he 10th section of the last act it was enacted, that tl any action should be brought against a British subject for such detention, he inialit • plead in bar, or give in evidence, the shove competisu i lion, and thereby defeat the plaintiff's claim : now, it would be Ilseles, to enact that such COlllpelliatioll should be a bar to Me plangtilra :Khoo, unless he could base 1 ' brought such itcijrn. Mt 11034 e BAYLEY said, that British Courts were opuist to the subjects of all stales iu amity with this country, to seek a cumpetisatioti for losses iu 3 trade, which by the laws of the coilittry where such persons resided was lawful. The Acts of Parliament cited made it illegal in Brush subjects to deal iu slaves, but not in foreigners. lf, theremse, they were •not prohibited by the laws of their own country, such trade in them was not unlawful. The country of which this plaintiff was a subject had not forbidden such traffic; and the tra ding, not belt); within this country, but on- the , bight seas, was lawlul in him. If the stave trade had brew con‘rgery to the laws of tiattoos, or nazism, in se, no sub ject of whatever country could have sued in our courts fur a loss arising -out ul such trade. Batt the acts of Pat hifillellt proceed on. the ground that such trade was not iimawiol before the passing of the act, and shall oily be mulum prokitilum after it. On the short ground Meretore, of ore plaintiff tint being a siibject of this e y, nor of •11 coungrr which had prohibited the trade, his I Ardship thought the plaintiff might recover the amount of the Vd hie of the slsvea. IMr. Justa •e and Mr. imvice Best concurred with toe other leat tied Judgesoind tiie rule was refused. VLASI4BI4Y ft4IID sP.purtos.

The deponent further states, that, having made enquiry. he finind the fatal events which occurred oft the of Angisst had creavd great dissen. • lion in the County of Lancaster j% will as prejudice against the s hairy Hunt and John Johnsom on • account of the part ihey took at the meeting. The deponent, uuti r such circumstances, had been regnestial by Own, to move the Colin/to permit the tudictineuts to be tried in another county. Judge Bayley —" Ythl 113 d better mention this w hen the Court is full.• If you want an intelligent Jury you cannot L;et men more intelligent than the County of• Lancaster can pros ide. lou will find a large portion of them don't come from Manchester. Many are from Liverpool and other parts. Mr. Chitty then said he would bring it on when the Court was full. SEDITIOUS PUET.TCATIOWS'--William Watlin, and others were then called to plead to informations filed by the Attorney Gent ral, citargitie them with pithlialiing. on the 3:h of September, scandalous and seditious labels, of and cotter g his Royal- Highness the- Prince of - Wales its Cathie s litter. • The defendants pleaded Not Guilty. The fidlnwing facts may elucidate the general d:1 - .. erenee between the conduct of a Tory and a Whig —we give them without a comment—Our read, rv' - will not want one. It is well known that the Manor of Norwich had granted the use of St. Andrew's Hall, for the Fox dinner, and in - conse quence the corn-dealers and farmers who usually hold their corn-market there, were requested to abstain from entering that Hall on Saturday last, on account of the workmen being busily employed in boarding the floor and making other preparatiotwi the persons connected w ith the corn-trade were at the same time apprised that the Mayor had set apart the Hall in the market for their accommodation ; propriety of feeling on the part of the gentlemen concerned in this arrangement caused them to ex press pleasure in acceding to it ; —but an intolerant Tory-Alderman considering it a good opportunity for venting a little of his contemptible spleen, went into the market and desired the farmers to follow • - him--they did so—he forced open the doors of St. Andrew s Hall, and insisted on the right of the - farmers, &c. to hold their corn-market there ; the latter, however, under the influence of a feeling of decency; (to which the Alderman was a stranger) perceiving the inconvenience their presence must - occasion to the 'workmen, properly withdrew to the situation which had been assigned to them air the day, in lieu of St. Andrew's Hall. Now fur the contrast—Mr. C., who is one of the guardians of the poor,and who has, r.ro/rig, a right of entrance to St. Andrew's Hall, made his appearance alma-t • immediately after the cloth was removed. .Me. C. is known as a violent Tory yet the moment he was perceived an offer of a seat was made to him al though many gentlemen who had paid their gui neas tier admission were then standing, from the - • crowded state of the Hall ; that the gentleman refused the .uffer does not lessen the laudable 1 civility shown to a political opponent ! BOX / An off-hand match was thught yesterday morn.- 'tory at harming Green, eight miles from Welwyn, H7rts, between Harry Plank, a man of some skill in this fa.vlehnable art' and Geo Ford, a Leicester shire man of athletic powers. The match was for forty guineas aside, mind the backers were Captain. Hands for Plank, and Ford was backed by subscrip tion. Walton, the Cricketer, seconded Ford, :ma • Wm. Jones officiated for Plank.-17 gallant rounds were fought in 42 minutes, as follows : In the first round Plank placed a left-handed hit upon his adversary';; nimith, which shock the ivories, :mil in following with his tight hand he was met no the car by Ford's left hand, which warmed the wau, ae.t floored !Um.
