The LORD MAYOII dad coavotionos grtiottiala 5. BEETSON LONG, Esti. of the Loupe' 1N COMPANY. ' Mr. Serjeant Bast utove4 for a rale to obi!, ems,* why the verdict in this case thould not held aside. The subject of this trial has already b before the public, it being to decide whether the. Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of Lando* had a right to exercise the office of Gauger at-. the London Docks, as reported in oar Paper of the 7th of December lust. Mr. Serjeant BENT grounded his motion on three points-4st. That Mr. Fowler, Officer from the Exchequer. gave evidence, that the Lord Mayor was sworn in as Gauger of the City and Liberties of London, fur fifty years back, which was stated in the Red-Book ; and, on examination of that book, Mr. Fowler had found there was no such Oath. ifd. That the Mayor, on rendering his accounts in as Ganger, at the expiration of his Mayoralty, only rendered them as Gauger of the City of London. 3d. That the London Wet Docks were not in the City or Liberties of London, but in the County of Middlesex, and under its jurisdiction. This ob jection he supported by two affidavits, attesting that the Docks were not in the City and Liberties of the City of London, but in the County of Mid dlesex, and under the civil jurisdiction of the County of Middlesex. Lord ELLYNBONOUGH over-ruled the first objec- Sims, as Mr. Fowler had not alluded to any parti cular book on giving his evidence before the Jury, but granted the rule on the last objeAions. THE KING V. DR.. HECTOR CAMPREI.L. This was an action tried at Guildhall, brought by the Royal College of Physicians against the Defendant for a libel, as reported in our Paper oi' the 17th of December. Mr. BOLLARD moved for a rule to shew canoe why a new trial should not be granted in this case. He grounded his motion ou an objection, that the charter of the College set forth that the Censors might aet by proxy, which was not set out in the declaration. The Court over-ruled the objection. Rule re fused. Mr. Bottartv then gave notice, that be meant to move au arrest of judgment. Lord Etuissoanuust observed, that when he should do so, he must have his client in Court. dr d &Kist. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS—Jar. so. - JTNNIXOS Ltd Others v. LARD oavotttut. This was an action of trostr, to recover this value of the half of a whale, possessed by the Llefemlett. %slanging to the Plinutith, a full repvrt of whids !primed in our Paper of the l9th December last; in which a verdict snit given for the Plaintiffs, sub. : jest to the award of Charles Price, Esq. as to the ,Matra of value, which he determion4, saw be. nag attended by both parties ; and he also awarded to the Matti& the costs of the reference. Mr. Serjeant SIIIIPUZILD now applied to set aside the verdict, upou two grounds; first, upon the merits, contending, that no such custom as that proved by the Plaintiffs Witnesses, could be sup ported in law • and that although while be struck by the b oats of one ship (even in the Sou.. them Whale Fishery), yet, that such whale is the property of the boat which afterwards kills it, un less it is fast to the Wet of the first striker, by the harpoon and tow-iron ; and that it was open is die Defendant's Captain. not to subscribe to the ski rules, sod to consider a fish with a droug in it, belonging to another ship, still as fete waters, and a loose fish. He also took another objectiow ; that the parties were tenants in common of this whale, and that the Plaintiffs ought to have soug ht the_pi:oduce another form. Loan CHUM JUSTICM observed, he had up on the trial thought there was some ground for the hitter objection; but that it appeared to have been proved that, according to the prevailing cus tom, the whale strui k was, prism facie ' the pro perty of the first striker. However, the Court granted a Rule to shew cause, in case the business should not be in the mean time settled. HATHAWAY, a Bcuskrupt, .v. a aaaow, WINTLE, DAVIS and manatees. Mr. Serjeant anonaw moved for a new trial in this cause, on the ground. that the principal wit ness, hi•Clatchie bad acted in the character of So licitor, and all t he circumstances that tame to his knowledge. wore learned in consequence of his hav ing acted in that character, or as attorney's clerk ; and that therefore the evidence was not sufficient, Ss an attorney ought not to divulge the cominuni elations and secrets of his clients. The Court were of opinion, that 34‘Clatchie did not act in either character, but that of the principal conspirator. Mr. Serjeent VALORAM Oben' Wed, he was in structed to move also, on acronnt of excessive da mages, but had no intention to press that objec tion. Lord Chief Justice Maxstitto said he thought the Jury had acted with great discretion and too deratiou. Rule refused.
