LORD WRSTIIRATIL Mr. HOLT opened the pleadings in this Caere • It woe an action for geed. sold and delivered, and the Defendant had pleaded that he was not liable. • Mr. GURNEY stated the facts to the Jury. It owes an action against the Noble Derendasit for a Sell of very smell smouist. something more than 40/. He confessed that he•wee rather surprised that • • Special Jury should have been assembled to try tech a question ; the Defendant had theidtelit fit to assemble them, and to that course lie certainly lad no abjection; but he confessed that he could Await discover any difficulty in the question which they were called upon to decide. He should he I.very much mistaken if his Learned Priend could raise any important question. The action was brought for a bill the umount of which lima 3M. IS.. ed. and the Defendant had paid into Court Si. 41. and left the Plaintiffs to recover the remainder. The demand tor the Plaintiffs was rot . articles furnished to Lady Westmeath, It the time she was living separate from her husband; and, on that ground, his Lordship had, as had been already stated, pleaded that he yens not liable. The Plain tits were tradesmen, and had been employed by • Lord Westmeath before the separation took place :'between him and his Lady. and the first articles were furnished dining the time they were living to- Isether. After the separatist, Lady Westmeath viliseetred to St. James's-place, and it was while her Ladyship was living there that the Plaintiffs did the business which formed the subject of the pre sent action. It was not suggested that the articles Jo question were of a nature unfit for the station 'end degree of Lady Westmeath; there was no de .fence. therefore, on this ground. If a husband and -life lived separately from each other. unless the wife should have quitted her hushand's house under circumstances which would entitle him to repudiate •ber—unless she should have committed some breach of the marriage vow, the husband was bound to far :elfish her with those necessaries which her condition 4sa life demanded; and to that extent his etedkbe dream liable to the persons by whom such neeteintries Alight be provided. It was true that Lnrd and 'll.lhdy Westmeath did live separate; that fact was' fit a secret, as it had been brought under discussion .4tOtheCisievt of Cheneery. It was a sasittottof public tiliotoriety that a deed of separation hid been exe. •thited between them; but it was his duty to state. that Lord Westmeath had never paid ally of the money which by that deed it was stipulated he' should pay; and if tradesmen bud nut been fontid • who would supply those things to Lady Westmeath which were necessary to her subsistence; her Lady- , ship must have absolutely starved. He would be -enabled to prove. that the Noble Defendant bad repeatedly visited his Lilly to see her and her chil dren, and therefore had an opportunity of obseiving, - the manner in which she lived. and to have taken exception thereto if he saw occasion. Whether it slight er might not become necessary to thew under I . what circumstances these noble parties hail Sep.- need, he knew sot; but if his Learned Poirot! hail say inclination to go into them. he was ready to do • so. because he was furnished with the means. Most certainly he should not be the first to go into them. -Such a topic might produce a discussion not very pleasant to the feelings of the Defendant. It would be sufficient to shew that there articles had been furnished to Ludy Westmeath, and that they were not inadequate to her situation in life: it would then be for his Learned Priced to skew by what means the Defendant had been relieved (ruin his liability. He took it for granted that the husband could not remove himself from his responsibility, unless he could shew that he bad actually pent money to his wife. or that his trustees had fulfilled the stipulation of the deed of separation which bad been executed. He should now proceed to call his witnesses to prove the case.

About the latter end of December she went to live in St. James's-place ; after she gut to St. James's-place the Plaintiffs did the work specified in the bill produced, putting up beds, bolts. &c.

This was against the Defendant for • public nuisance, in beetling feather-beds, whereby such violent noises were made, as to render the houses in the surrounding neighbourhood unin habitable. The proarcittion was instituted, as we understood, by the Earl of Cardigan. Mr. SCAILITT, for the prosecution, stated (as soon as the Jury were sworn), that, after the indict ment was found by the Grand Jury, the-Defendant, in August last, had altered the mode of conducting his business, sod had reduced it to such a system, Allot. as the part of the Prosecutor, he was instruct ad to ear se evidewee, the Defa•d•ut uademakrog Seamier to verdict of (kik/ to be recorded; ander- Atanding that he would tont be called up for judg ment, so long as he did not exceed the limits to which he had reduced his business in August. Mr. GUILNEY. for the Defendant, said lie had no wish to discuss the question whether Oiln was a nuisance or not. The Defendant could have no wish to give offence to his neighbou►s, many of whom were of the nobility and gentry, and also has customers. Upon this principle be had no objeeteon to plead guilty to the indictment. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction., therefore found the Defendant Gsti/ry. WIN TON, tSQ. V. au:mom ESQ. This was an action against the Defendant for an alleged assault and battery'. The Defendant plead ed that the Plaintiff had committed the first assault. Mr. SCABLETT (with whom was Mr. J. Wit- Lints) stated the case 10Ir the Plaintiff, as one call ing for considerable damages. The Learned Coun sel said it was one of the must aggravated cams that ever came before a Coast of Justice. It was the case of an athletic powerful young man violently assaulting one many years older than himself. and much inferior to him in size and strength, attended also with circumstances of premeditation, which gave an unusual complexion to Cases of that de scription. Before he stated the facts of the rate. he entered into • detail of some disputes between the Managers of Drury-lane theatre and the De fendant, who was a proprietor of a minor theatre ; and stated, that the Defendant having caused to be represented at his house a melts-dratna coifed lleresf, which had been first brought out at Druryalant,thei Managers of the latter had obtained an injunCthen against him. The following was a general outline of the facts :—The Plaintiff was stated to be Stage manager of the Theatre-Royal. Drury-lane ; the Defendant is proprietor of the Royal Coburg 'Digitise, and also one of his Majesty's Hon. Baba of Prosionert. In the month of May lest Mr. Glossop!) had been in attendance on his Majesty during his visit to the theatre. aid had devised Isis own servant to be in leadiness ifs the lobby of the theatre, in case he should be wanted. Ile Plaintiff. as Stage-manager. had received instruc tions from Mr. Elliston, to keep the passages clear of all persons during Isis Majesty's entrance Imo and departure front the theatre. ft was alleged on the part of the Defendant, that whilst his servant was waiting for him in the lobby. the Plaintiff pre ostlers " to turn oat that Issmplighter's servant," alluding to the supposed circumstance of Mr. tfilossopp being a contractor for lighting the Little Theatre in she Haymarket, with Which. it tars stated, he had nothing to do.
