COIJItT Or MG'S BENCII,Dec. 23. THE ZING d. DAHER. This was an irdictrnent against the defendant fen ruhance, in carrying away and converting to his own use, the sell of a certain public highway, called Unions street. in the parish of Stepney. Mr. MARRYATT, and Mr. Comet, conducted the pro secution ; and the Common •SitnatanT, and Mr. Palma, or defence. The !dare in question, which formed a sere of cut de sae. 11,id 1p en dedicated by the respective owners of the adjacent land., to each other, and to lithe public. The romi led to a Jewish burying•ground, and to the lands of the defendant, utio was a bricktnaker. It was alledged by Mr. Alexander, the Hebrew printer, and prosecutor on this occasion, that the defendant had dug up the soil ratite road, and carted it away for the/purpose of mak ing bricks and thereby almost destroyed at as a road. This was denied by I witnesses, who proved that the defendant had merely removed mud, and emptied the water out of holes in the road, and filled the same with hard materials, and had done every thing in his power to improve the road, and make it passable. The case went to the Jury under the directions of the Learned Judge, and they immediately found the defend. ant Not Guilty. FIVIWICIL O. 111011TIAM. This was an action by a pyrotechnical artist, to re. cover a sum of fifty guineas for work and labour dose and performed for the defendant at his request, in pre paring fireworks in Hyde Park, on the occasion of Lis Majesty's Coronation. The defendant pleaded the general issue, non assumpsit, and paid 111. H/s. into Court. • Mr. OUMIET and Mr. THISSIOtit were for the plain titf, and Mr. SCARLET'S' and Mr. A at far the de fendant. The plaintiff case, rested his first, upon an agreement enteredinto with him by the defendant, whereby the latter promised to pay him fifty guineas for his services on the occasion in question. it appeared that Sir Wm. Congreve had employed the defendant, a pyrotechnic of some celebrity, to get up the fireworks which were ex hihited in Hyde Park. on the Coronation evening. To assist him in the work, the defendant employed several other artists in the same business, and among them was the plaintiff. It appnred that the plaintiff was ern vloyed to assist in the work in question four days, viz. Monday,Tnesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, each day's work cotnmencing every morning at two o'clock, and ending at nine at night. The materials for the fire. works were supplied from the Ordnance. After the work was done, the plaintiff applied to the defendant to ice for the payment of his demand, being fifty guineas, and the defendant promised on each occasion to pay tl•at sum as soon as he himself was paid for his labour. The defendant's demand upon the government was four hundred and fifty pounds, but he was only paid three hundred and fifty . occasion, when OD a subsequent when the plaintiff required payment of his bill accord ing to the contract, the defendant repudiated the agree ment, and said that if any such engagement had been entered into, it was made by his son, with nbom he had nothing tatlo, but he offered ten guineas in liquidation of the demand, which the plaintiff infused, and this ac tion was brought. S I artists in fire-works were called to prove that the plaintiff's demand was fair and r .asonable, considering the occasion %hen his services were engaged, the extra labour be was obliged to em ploy, and the sacrifice made of other business in order to devote himself entirely to this particular purpose. Some of the witnesses were of opinion that fifty guineas was not too much; others thought that two guineas a day would be sufficient, and a third class stated that five shillings a day was the ordinary rate of wages paid for servicesof this description, hut they all concurred in stating that much would depend upon the sacrifice which the plaintiff might be obliged to make of other business on time occasion is question. The defence set up was, first, that the defendant had entered into no agreement, as contended for by the plaintiff; that oa the contrary, he was employed merely as alabourer, without any skill or scientific knowledge in the mystery of pyrotechny, and, second, that the sum paid into Court was an ample remuneration for his la bour on the occasion. The defendant's son was called, and he positively de nied that any agreement was entered into for a specific sous, but said on the contrary, that the plaintiff, who was merely the commander of a powder boat, was employed as a labourer, to be paid so mach as his services were worth Several other witnesses were of opinion that, upon the vantum mernit, the sum paid into Court was an site qusie remuneration to the plaintiff. The Lotto Cuter J 1582101 left two questions to the Jury—first, whether there had been any agreement en tered into to pay the plaintiff fi:ty guineas, and if not, second, whether the money paid into Court was as notch as the plaintiff deserved for the work and labour performed. The Jury found for the defendant. FROLICK V. CRAWYORD. This was an action by a fashionable tailor to recover the amount of his bill, being about thirty pounds, for clothes delivered to the defendant's order. The de fendant pleaded, first, the general issue, and second, that he was an infant under the age of twenty-one, at the time the debt was contracted. The CoMMoN Sea AAA A and Mr. ABRAHAM were for the plaintiff; and Mr. ADAM and Mr. CHITTY were fur tt.e defendant. It appeared that the debt in question was incurred by the defendant in the space of four months, when he was of the age of sixteen and a half, and whilst he was a student in Hertford College. One item in the account was for a cloak, which the defendant ordered fur a ymng woman whets lie was pleased to call his sister, ,riding at N 0.32, London-street. With the exception of the latter article, it was contended that these were no ies suitable to the defendant's condition in life and for which he was liable, notwithstanding his in fancy. The defence set up was, that the articles in question were not necessaries, inasmuch as the defendant's fa ther, a respectable gentleman, had supplied him during the same year in which this debt was incurred, with every revisite artit le of clothing, and that his tailor's bill during the same year amounted to sixty pounds, and consequently, that the defendant could not be liable. The defendant had no separate fortune of his own, and had since gone to India. Th e facts were proved b y Ike father. In reply it was insisted, that as the goods sold to the defendant were suitable to his conthtion in life, the plaintiff was entimlrml to recover. The LORD Cute? JUSTIVK left the case to the Jury, nnder ill its cireunistances. upon the issue, whether Or's. were ies imitable to time defendant's con. dition in life, suggesting to them the wisdom of that law whieh protects infants from their :own extravagance, rendering them liable only w here the credit was given • for necessaries suitable to the condition in life of the party. The Jury found their verdict for the defendant. lip Cuter Reties said he thought the v. relict of the Jury was highly creditable to them in their persona I character. considering that some of them might t..ossiblv be of the same trade with the plaintiff. The business of these long and arduous Sittings being now roiled, lie thought the Jury were entitled to the grateful thanks of their country for the punctuality and diligence with %Lich they lad discharged their duties. -** - - - 1121 0 " - e-- . . 1111011F77- - IMP THE STATESMAN. • MARTO°, V. CRAWVOZO. This was an action by a boot -maker in Bond•street against the same defendant. The COMMON SERJIWITs withdrew the reeord. Here the Middlesex sittings ended, the Court haying disposed of all the common and special jury causes in the paper. The LORD CUM JUSTICE complimented the Jury, in high terms, on the punctuality of their at tendance, and on the attention and intelligence they had shown in the discharge of their important duties. was taken into the Workhouse, and employed with much voungeetnen from 7 in the morning until 5 in the even ingi in winter, n the laborious employment of digging gravel. One day in October, the plainti ff and his corn panions in toil, for want of knowing the exact time, left off at half past 4 instead of 5. For this they were brotteld before the defendants ; they declared it was by mistake they bad left off before their time, and the plaintiff yen tared to express a hope, that as he was then nearseventy years of age and his strength failing, that be should not be requir.d to work longer in winter than from eight in the morning till four in the evening. Mr. Hussey de clared that the plaintiff should work as long as the youngest mao in the house. The next day the plaintiff went to his work at seven and continued till fire, as or dered; en returning from his labour he went into the kitchen, where he was in the habit of getting hot water to make tea, with which he was provided by sonic of his Crankily ; he was told the overseers had given orders he should get no more hot water, and it was refused. Next day the plaintiff did not go to work; Mr. Hassey sent for a constable and had the unhappy old man who had incurred his displeasure instantly dragged to the care, time place where felons were confined before they were taken to Maidstone Gael; and in that dungeon, with out fire, without bed, without covering of any kind, with nothing but the brick Boor and damp straw to lie on, with windows secured by iron bars, but open to all the winds of heaven, in that wretched dungeon, was the poor old man of 70, for 50 boors, in the month of October, No long winter nights, kept in a state of solitary confinement! On the evening of the second day, a compassionate passenger looked in through the bars of the plaintiff's prison, saw his wretched state, and went at his desire to his sons's, who lived about a mile distant, and who sent him a great coat to cover him, which was probably the means of preserving him alive. The third day the plaintiff was taken before the Magistrates sitting at Woolwich, about a mile distant from Plnmstead, but when he was brought oat of time cage for the purpose of heing taken there, it was found 1 he had suffered so much from the damp and cold, that , it was found Le was wholly unable to walk; mad it was necessary to take him in a cart. The defendants both appeared before the Magistrates, and made their com plaint, but on a minnte investigation of the case, time Magistrates dismissed the charge. The plaintiff was then sat at liberty, het the effects of his creel confine meta continued longer; be was under the necessity of having the assistance of the parish doctor, who attended him for some time afterwanis, and prescrib , d both in ternal medicine and a blister, before the plaintiff was restored to his former state. S 1 witnesses were examined, who proved the plaintiff's case exactly as stated by Mr. Phillips. 51r. ADoxenus addressed the Jury at great length for time defendants, but called no witnesses. The Jury, after a short consultation, reared a ver dict fur the plaintiff—Damages 101.

The body being noknown, the circumstance was proclaimed es the followiug Sabbath. in the parish. churches of Iteith and Dairy, in the hopes of discovering some trace of the unfor tunate Individual's connexions.

The following are the cir cumstances attending this melancholy transaction;—lt appears that Clator had lately married a young woman in this city, to whom he was passionately attached; she, however, both before and after marriage, bad been in the habit of corresponding with another man, in the neigh bourhood of Carlisle. This circumstance, it is believed, coining to the knowledge of Clator, he became extreme ly jealous, and greatly disturbed in his mind ; his wife, in the mean time, having availed herself of the protec tion of her mother, who resided at Hexham, went to live with her, declaring that she could no longer remain with her husband. Claytor now determined to proceed to Ilexham and demand his wife, with a fixed resolution as we understand, in case of refusal, to shoot either her or himself, or both ; with which intent be carried with him two loaded pistols. On arriving at her mother's, he met with the refusal which be had anticipated, his wife resolutely persisting in having no further column . nication with Min.—His leave of absence being now ex pired, and being in a state of the utmost distraction of mind at his Wife's conduct, he destroyed himself with one of the pistols which lie had unfortunately brought • with him for that purpose !

GRISISTSID O. HOWARD AND GIBBS. Mr. Serjeant Le n s stated this case to the Jury. It was an issue directed by his Honour the Vice-Chan ftlior to try whether the plaintj was or note good and latisofide creditor of the defendants' estate. The plain dff had become through the agency of the defendant., 4 purchaser of annuities to the amount of above 45,0001., sad had besides advanced to Howard and Gibbs another sum exceeding 30,000/: • for the same purpose, which Mr. Gibbs had appropriated to his own use, or the iii mediate necessities of the firm. James Gibbs had been/ a partner in the house of Howard and Gibbs, of Cork street. Burlington-gardens. Tate first annuity pur chased by the plaintiff was one . from Lord James Mee say, the principal part of which was paid in September 1816, at seven years purchase; the int was 141. ss. from which insurance was to be deducted. Another am enity was soon afterwards purchased by the plaintiff from Lord Sefton of 3001. in consideration of 3,00114 that annuity continued till 1818; when Howariataltd Gibbs received the aannities, they paid them over to the plaintiff, after deducting their commission. The next was an annuity of a Mr. Sydenham of 2001. per annum, in consideration of 1,2001. ; that was still in existence. The plaintiff continued to ha paid until the bankruptcy in 1821: the next was an annuity of a Mr. Benson, bat that did net appear on witness's books. as the plaintiff attended to it himself, the consideration was 4,9001. the annuity 7001. ; it was purchased for seven years, but paid off before the bankruptcy; the next milieu annuity of Mr. Long Wellesley's, it was first panted to another person, and afterwards assigned to the plaintiff in Sept. Isl9,anil the consideration was 2,0271. lie. 9d. for neven years purchase; it was now in existence, but did not continue to be paid; the next wasan annuity of Lord Wallacourt's, which was also granted to another person, but subse quently resigned to the plaintiff, the consideration was 2.7471. for seven years purchase ; the next was granted by Mr. Beckford in May, 1119, the consideration was 1,0881., the annuity 1361.; the next was an annuity of Mr. Udney, the consideration 3,2001., the annuity 4001, it was purchased in June, 1819: the next was an an nuity of the Rev. Mr. Struth 01501.. the consideration 1.05014 there was a second of Lord J. Murray's the consideration 2,1001.; and a third. of 1501, for 1,000 guineas; the next seas an annuity of Mr. J. Payne of WI., the consideration 2,4501., that was still in exist dace, there was another of the same party of 3501., the consideration 2.4501.; the next was an annuity of Count Linsingen of 1101., the consideration 1,1001. the next was an annuity of the late Duke of Kent of 6141.. the consideration 4,2001.; the sett was an annuity of Sir It B. Urban's of 4001., the consideration 2,8001 and another ✓emelt) , of 2601.; the neat was an annuity of Lord C. Fitsroy's of 3301., the consideration 2,6401.; the pose amount of all these was 44,1251. 59.2 d. and all these wet a real transactions. Witness applied to the plaiatiff for money, except to invest in the purchase of *anal; ties ; at different times the plaintiff had lent money to witness to the amount of 30,0001. all of which he be. lined was invested - in innuities ; witness always told him it was; the house had ample property, but money set coming in as fast as it was required witness had appropriated the plaintiff's money to the immediate us- Mashies of the firm, which was from the year 1817 ander engagements for the aonaal payment of 120,0001. so the 9th of October, 1819, the plaintiff's pass book was made up, and the balance really in favour of the plaintiff was 14,3191. 2s. 4d. ; to reduce that balance, 'illness made fictitious entries of annuities and names of annuitants, so as to make it but 4191. 2s. 4d. Another settlement of the account took place in May, 1820, when witness seain made fietitions entries for the same pur pose ; in November, 1820, the balance really in favour of the plaintiff was 36,8771. 10s. Mr. limonite went into the employment of Howard and Gibbs, in September, 1819 ; he deposed to making up the accounts alluded to by Mr. Gibbs, and that the erasures were not there when he made them up. The SOLICITOR OINSRAL, for the defendant, ssidtbete was a conspiracy to defeat the claims of bona fide ere tiitors, whose only support hail been wasted and destroy. ed by the gross usisreauagement of Gibbs, for Mr. How ard, at the time of the failure, actually believed himself po dui very extensive property. Gibbs hal repre sented himself in his evidence to have acted fraudulent ly towards Grimstead. His case rested on fraud and de ceit; hot it had been well observed, and he (the Solicitor General) should use the arguments here, that if a man represented himself to have acted infamously, the ques tion would be whether he had so acted, or was so acting at the time by making the statement of his infamy for a particular and fraudulent purpose ? Several letters from Porter, a conveyancer to Gibbs, dated March, 1821, were read, in which he desired Gibbs to arrange, so as to postpone the meeting for the choice of assignees, until the plaintiff could arrive from France. A letter from Gibbs to the plaintiff, dated October 9, et 9, was read, is which the balance was stated to be 4191. as. 4d. A letter of Rimonde was also read, in which he stated his Willingness to do any thing to assist Gibbs, and promised to attend the office as clerk to the commission. The pass-book was produced, and Mr. Richard Adam, the accountant, proved that he had ascertained the amount of the annuities received np to May, 1819 ; by that account 2,3501. Os. Sd. was time balance up to that time, when a bill to that amount was given to the plain tiff. and subsequently paid. 51r. Ambrose Humphries deposed. that a Mr. Wilson, a client of his, bad purchased an estate of Mr. (leeward,l and Mr. Gibbs and the plaintiff had been present at sonic of the it.terviews for the purchase, and requested that a part of the purchasemoney should be paid to 6rimstead in liquidation of his debt. Mr. Sergeant LIENS replied. and contended that the hooks which had been produced supported Gibbs's evi 'dence, and being documents created at the time when nothing of this kind was expected, clearly and indubi tably proved the truth of his statement. Lord Chief Justice DALLAS charged the Jury, who retired at half•past 7 o'clock. and atter half an 'hour's deliberation returned a verdict fur the defendant. SECONDARIES' OFFICE, MONDAY. NEIL LAND V. MUSSILY AND PALMER. Mr. C. Philips stated the ease. The Plaintiff. he said, had lately been a pauper in the workhouse of the parish' of Plumstead, in Pant; the Defendant Ilussey teas over-' seer of that parish, and the Defendant Palmer was the keeper of the parish workhouse. The Action was brought to recover a compensation in damages for false imprisonment and injuries inflicted on the Plaintiff by the I) , •fendants.
