COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, N0v.93. Tut KING V. GAWLER AND HOWARD. This was an indictment for a conspiracy to de fraud the Government, in fabticating false certifi cates of seamen's service, in order to obtain pen sions for sailors for a much longer period than they had actually served. . , . • Gawler was a clerk in the Ticket Office, Navy Office. The circumstances of the case wore fully and satisfactorily proved, and the Jury found them ? Guilty. THE KING V. HOLLIS AND NUDIIAM. • This was an indictment for a similar offence; but the Jury louud Hollis Guilty, and Acquitted Need ham. 'ecorah 2. tflt KING V. GAWLER AND st.ttnEws—SA.ME‘O• SAME AND sAntut—SAME V. SAME AND SHEFFIELD— SAME V. SAME AND FARRELL. These were four severe:indictments, by which the Defendant, henry Gawk'', late an extra Clerk in the Navy Pay Office, was charged with conspiring, along with the parsons named in each separate in. dictinent, and a person, an accomplice along with Gawler, in various acts of fraud, to defraud th'e Minimby, by procuring,, under false Certificates of Service, Pensions for persons who had not serve 4 the reriods specified in their Certificates, all of which were filled up by Gawler, wh me duty it was to extract from the Navy Books the time each man had served on board of the different ships in his Ma jesty's service, and to enter the same lritlN in the Certificate. From the evidence of Ponten, the accomplice; cho introduced to Gawler the various persons to whom he had furnished false certificates, - it appeared that there was no person Mho had once been at sea —however short his service, however trifling his me rits, or even however great his demerits, in that ser ♦ice might have been, who might not on application to Mr. Ponten, and on payment of the seemingly • • regularlt -established charge of 51. 10s. have, through the medium of Mr. Gaulor, between whom and Ponten this sum way generally divided (though Pon ten sometimes contrived to secure to himself the better half), a certificate, authorizing him to receive the highest bounty granted! Ponten, on his cross- examination, confessed that he had on a former occa sion been evidence for the Crown against persons who had been his accomplices in an attempt to transfer a manufacture practis.ll in this country, and prohi bited from btirg exported, into Germany and Hol land. He also admitted, that on the occasion of the mutiny at the Nore, lie had been a delegate from on board the Raja: llilliam , then lying at Spithead. He had since, however, surrendered, in consequence of his lajost ) 's pardon, offering indemnity to all misguided seamen ; he had afterwards served his Ma- jesty, and was now an in-door pensioner of Green wich Hospital: Tim material parts of this witness's evidence were _ f corrob wati.ll in each case, s , ) n to 'cave no doubt of the knowledge both of .`Jr. t;an !or, and of the persons iu whose favourthe certihca w ere grant ed, of the nature of the,fruuds thereby intended to be practised. On reading over the various cehificates,there were so many palpable and striking a bso i es, as to cause LOrd Et.t.tseottorbu repeatedly to observe, that the business of the higher tlepartmmits seemed to have been conducted without that due degree of caution which might have been expected. It was hardly pos sible to have react the certificates in question, and not, on the face of them, to have discovered proofs of their falsity. For instance, in one certificate; LUNAR months being the mode of calculating time, there was an entry of t:TGIIE weeks; and, in another, a person of the age of 25 years, was, after an interval of 2+ years. stated to In' :).6 years of age. It was impossi ble, {pis Lordship conceived, fur any person of com mon understanding to have read those certificates and not to have detected their falsity ; and such inatten tion on the part of the Officers whose duty it was to have perused them before they sanctioned them by their sigoatures, proved not, only an unwarrantable degree of confidence in the inferior Officers, but a culpable degree of negligence on the part of the su periors, who, not content with waving all check on the truth of the certificates presented to them, chose even to adhibit their signatures to documents which they did not take the trouble to read, and the falsity of which, if they had read them, they must inevitably have detected, e.rfacie of the certificates themselves. The facts of each case, however, being clearly proved, the Jury, without hesitation, in each found the Defendants Guilty. CULL. V. LONO AND MRS. NM. This was an'action for elk rtcovery of 1501. for the futtetial of - it Majoi. fscAvater.' It a ppeared, that Major Bowater, sometime since, resided at Ramsgate, but under a feigned name, where, however, he died, leaving the two D: fend ants herein, and a Mr. Powis, his executors and ex ecutrie. The Major had for some time separated from his wife, and while at Ramsgate, Mrs. hill as sotn”d thaticharacter. At the Major's death, she gave directions for the funeral, and it was endea voured to be proved that Mr. Long was liable to pay the expellees jointly with Mrs. IL because he had ap proved the arrangements that hid been made for the funeral. Mr. PARK, however, contended, that the action ought to have been brought agaiiiit them as repre sentatives of Mr. Bowater, including the name of Mr. Pow is ; and not against the tw• DAendatits on the ground of their liability, independently of their executorship. The fact was, that although 10001. per year, had been left Mrs. Hill, she had not re ceived onefarthing, because hitherto there had been no assets. Lord ELLENBOROUCII toggested the propriety of interrupting the trial here, on the ground that the parties wait till there aro assets, a verdict being en trred for the Plaintiff, as, Own was great nicety Shout the alleged liability. i s 'I is viu consented to, and a verdict was accord ingly entered for the Plaintiff, who is to, wait los as e▪ ;s, as are the Attorneys for their costs. ./ •' • g 0" -... Al_ .....- ::~ . _ s~, - 1 ', Ti 04111624 CoUir 1 W Sittingic ) before thief' Justice Sir • jitizt . MA'ri*FIELD. ' • LtWRENCE V. OVVI. • This was an action for a nuisance committed on the PlaintitraPrsimises, and for a trespass, in closing up a window which appertained to hii house. Mr. Laverestee and' Mr. Obee, it appeared, inha bited two tenements, which forming the corner of two streets, consequently stood in the form of tan , gent towards the gardens behind. In the inside of I the square, the latter constructed a water-closet some years ago, the .wall of which necessarily co verecl a portion of the, house-wall that belonged , to the former. The Plaintikaccordingly opposed tho erection, and maintained that, it covered a window, which, though now closed up by a wall of the !hick ness of a brick, had formerly been constructed and employed for all the customary p irposes. of a win dow. An action was consequently entered, and verdict, it appeared, had been returned in favour of the Defendant ; application was made, and leave was given to bring the whole to the issue of a new ' trial, and Mr. Serjeant LESS conducted the case on the part of the Plaintiff. The Learned Serjeant called several .witnesses, who proved, that although the window in question woo otirsed up . pn . the outside with brick, yet a wooden sash, with panes of glass, was standing un-: removed, through whir* !aye of light frequently: broke. They were also positive that a window had heen constucted in that_place at the erection of the home, because an arch of bricks was cast over it, a d other indications remained of its original pur pose and use. By tbe,manner ip w.tich the, water closet was constructed,.certain offensive smells were felt frequently ha the Plaintiff's tenement, %shish ten. dered the situation.qf the young man who lodged ia the house exceedingly, uncomfortable. After a ample exantioation of escidence on these facts, tht Learned Serjeanteoncluded by maintaining, that a fai inference was to be drawn from what he had proved namely, that a window had existed in that pta for the admission of the light of day within the twenty years. On the part of the Defendant, Mr. Serjeant Best produced,a number of witnesses, who proved, thst the water-closet was constructed on principles which prevented any smell from arising; and also, that the window, against which the building was con structed, had been walled up with bricks twenty seven years ago. No person had seen it in a state! fit for admitting light, the bricks which covered it had never been removed in the memory of any of the witnesses. _ The CHIC, JUSTICE observed, that the evidence on the part of the Plaintiff had failed in prov ing, that the place closed up by the wall had ever admitted light as a window, nor Any of the evidence show that it had ever been an " ancient window•." The Jury returned a verdict for the Defea2aut. FRANKLIN V. INGILRY, BART._ This was an action to try whether the Defendant, Sir John Ingilby, had a ctsmplete title' to convey an estate to Mr. Franklin. The question would depend on the custom of the Manor of the Forest of Knares• borough, in Yorkshire. It was a copyhold estate, conveyed by custom, is containel in the Rolls of the Manor. The evidence laid before the Jury appeared to be the Rolls belonging to this Forest, and a paper called a CastomarN, found among the record; of the Court. The firs , and great question wig, whether there could be within the Manor a conveyance .of what is called an estate tail created? or, in other terms, whether the Defendant's estate mighT be dis posed of by the alleged custom of the Manor? The evidence proved that it might, according to custom which had prevailed since the reign of Richard, and the Holy Wars. The evidence called a Customary was at variance with the Court Rolls : the words of it were," Every customary tenant within the Manor l of linareshorough, may surrender his lands into the hands of his Lord; to the use of any person or per. sons for a term of years, or a term of life, in fee simple, and not in fee tail."—The question the Jury had to consider was, whether the instrument called the Customary was to be relied on? or whether it was not better to rely on the general custom of the Mattor The Jury found a verdict for the Defendant, thereby confirming his title ; but the subject will ultimhely resolve itself into a point of law.—rho other trials were not important. • .fibrigthe ,LQN , i; o o7 T h w-- *, • r Pfc. 1, R4i 241LiTAttIOTHINS.

Muanaa.—On Wednesday last, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, Mr. Wiggin, a re spectable miller, who resided about two miles from Bridgenorth, was murdered between that place and his own house. lie was on his return front Wol verhampton market, and was met by a footpad abotit a mile from home. It i; supposed that, on makiug a stout resistance, the villain drew a pistol, and shot him through the body; the hall passed iti a direct line just below his heart. It seems, hoWever, that the assassin was alarmed by his cries, as he made off without taking any of his property, which con sisted of between 50 and 601. in cash and notes. — It is remarkable, that the unfortunate man pursued his murderer after being shot, for about a hundred yards, and was found by some persons from a turn pike house, who had heard his cries, exhausted with loss of blood, at a stile which he had in vain endea- DI V I DEN DS.
