The Plaintiff is emotes of Mr. Dickson, oho, in the year 1813, effected en insurance upon his life, for seven years, in the Hope losurancaolfice, in London,for2oool. A medical man, since dead, made the usual certification of his state of health. Ile died in 1817 of a cholera user bus. Payment of the sumo . insured for was refused, on the ground that in 181 2 the deceased had an at tack of palsy, which had been concealed at the time of making the insurance, and that the insurance was therefore fraudulent. A number of witoesse& were essisined on both sides as to this objection. It ap. peered that, in 1812, be bad had an attack of some kind, which on the one side was represented as palsy, on the other as rheumatism. He had fully recover ed, end been in perfect health for some years. The complaint of which he died was not palsy. Dr. Ramsay, for the Defendant, said, that a shock of pa. ralysis undoubtedly tended to shorten life. Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages 10001.

There was a second count for a common assault. The Prosecutor stated, that he was sezton of the' parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, and was in the habit of employing the Defendants as watchmen to guard the burying ground against the depredations of persons engaged in the unpopular occupation of procuring subjects for the hospitals. Suspecting that the De fendants, under colour of their official employment, were themselves engaged in this obuosious traffic, he determined to put an end to his doubts upon the sub.. ject, by trying an esperiment. On the day men. boned in the indictment, he told them he could dis pense with their services for that night ; and, in fact, desired them not to attend . at the burial-ground. It appeared that on that day five bodies had been buried in the church-yard. In the mean time he collected 'other assistance for the purpose of watching what might occur its the night. The traps which were usu ally placed in the burial-ground were set, and the Prosecutor and his friends took their stations on the ground. During their walk, they had heard the gate of the burial-ground unlocked, and opened more than once. A trap went off, as if removed by 'some persons who knew of its being placed there. —About midnight, they ,beard the door of the tool-house broken; and presently afterwaids col lected, from the discourse of two persons in the burial. ground, that they were boring the different [maps its search of subjects. At length, they heard them, l a the course of their employment, strike sgslnst a coffin.. Their interference now became necessary— they rushed Irons their concealment, and recognising the Prisoners, cried opt to them to surrender or they woad be shot. The depredators, however, com menced a resistance, and in the course of it made several.despemteblows at the Prosecutor with a cut. lass. With much di ffi culty they were - overpowered land secured; and tkele facts . lpini mo s t clearly apoct
