The Fishtail was a paper manufacturer, in Bock. (hamshire, and had several dealings with the De. ~lants. In th.. year 1811, the balance was io fe. \I of the Defendants, to the amount of 70091. ad. ted by the Plaiotiff. The balance subsequently ogmented, and in the year 1813, a deed of convey. ICC wee mule by Plaintiff of his stills and property !he Defendants, to be sold for the purpose of dis irging the debts which be owed them. The sale surounced, but no bidder appeared to offer to .- amount previously fisted on by the Plaintiff. The Defeatist's, being trustees and creditors, purchased ... property for themselves, with the consent of the Plaintiff, for the earn of 90001. They also pur charierl other property of the Plaintiff to the amount - 0fi31301. These united sums were placed by the i (liteffenctetts to the credit of the Plaintiff, and a ba.

Secondly, that the Defendants, as trustees, to incompetent So purchase at all; and, lastly, t the accounts, upon which the balance was as. ied, were incorrect, and contained items of inte r, which could not be legally demanded. The Defendants admitted that they were trustees, that they became purchasers, to the amount .w objected to, by consent of the Plaintiff. They titled that several inaccuracies had crept into the 'Duets, which they were ready to allow to be de acted from the balance they originally claimed. :lie VICE-CHANCLI.I.OII said, that there did not ip•pear to be any reason for the injunction. There evidently no advantage taken of the Plaintiff's rtuarion—his consent was given to every act of the Defendants : they were, no doubt, trustees, but they -, re discharged from that situation by the consent of ' Plaintiff to their poichase. " I believe, Mr. icitor." continued his Honour, " it is now de wed that interest cats be charged on half-yearly rests, ' they become united to the principal sum without souring under the Usury Laws."

G A OCK• This was an action he a musician of the City of Bath, against the Defendant, a music-setter in Bishopseate.street, for pirating a sountry.dance set to me Ic, called "Captain HI:0e," in honour of a Master of the Ceremonies of that name, at the Beth Rooms, end composed by the Plaintiff. Mr. Scarlett and Mr. Comyn condoctud the come for the Plaintiff, and Mr. Campbell that of the De fendant. The Plaintiff was represented to be a young man of great musical genius, whose father kept a music shop at Bath, and played at the rooms and concerts in that city. Amongst other efforts of his genius was the composition in question; which was said to have been composed in about fine minutes, and meet ing with the sanction of Capt. Wyke, the Master of the Ceremonies, it received his name, end became a great favourite for two seasons with the fair see who frequented the rooms. It had such a run during that period, that the Plaintiff sold nearly 4000 manu script copies of it, at the rate of a shilling a piece. At length he published a set of country dances, mostly of his own composing, and embodying the piece in question, sold theset at the rate of 31. ed. each, and the work had a considerable sale, until the Defendant published the alleged' piracy in question, of which he printed 125 copies. According to the evidence, it did not appear he had sold more than two or three copies of it, end had now 116 copies on hand, whit+, however, he did not produce in obedience to a notice served upon him, for that pur pose. The Plaintiff's father stated, that his son had composed in his lime upwards of 500 country dances, and (allowing for parental partiality) was a prodigy of musical talent. It appeared that the Plaintiff had (from modesty), at first, not announced himself as the author of the piece, and had sent it into the world as the production of a Gentleman named Reeve, and had entered it at Stationers'-Nall in that name, but had claimed it to he his property. _ _ 'LA • immeamlomilmani d•Aa _fthwahliCad fla'Aitati "PTE STATESMAN COURT OF• COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 5.

This was an action for a conspiracy brought by Sir Gregory Page Turner against his mother. 6ady Turner, end ether, members of his family, for having sued out a statute of lunacy against him, with a view to obtain possession of his property.

Monroe and Sims, been put into a strait waistcoat in 1811• and 1814. Upon this evidence being heard, The CHIEF JUSTICE interfered, and observed, that if the Counsel for the Plaintiff had no evidence of a different nature to adduce, it would be more advis able to close the case, with a view to save the feelings of the Plaintiff himself as well as those of the re spectable family with which he was connected. The Plaintiff's Counsel observing that according to his instructions be was not enabled to say that he had evidence of a different character to bring for ward, the case was closed, and the Plaintiff was non , suited.
