I~ o wrote to the Defendant, stating, that the wines were to he sent nn account of him and Mr. Byroe.— %%Theis the wine was ordered, great apprehension was entertained that Catalonia would fall into the hands of the French, and, in consequence, Spanish red wines would bring an ussuaually high price. Spain having been evacuated by the French, witness wrote to the Defendant, in the mouth of June, when the l'enretts wag on tier voyage, expressing a wish that :11l order's 'riven by him for wine, banllts, &c. up to the end of J un e, al Id he Annulled. Th. wins.. shipped by the Prorel were to a :Mr. Tussle suns, hrforr thee orrivell in this country. They were afterwards disposed in lllesse•. Linglialts and Co. All the wine. shipped from Gibraltar, its the year 1809, turned out very bad. On the eth of August, he apprised tits. Defendant, by letter, that lit and Air. Byrne would send the wines either to Guernsey or Gotteisbarg, on Defendant's account. Before am answer to this letter arrived, the wines were solo% Mr. St:mitt:TT here took an objection. In the declaration it was set forth, that they, Broom, and Byrne, did jointly give the order tor these wines. Now, (rum the evidence, it appeared that the order was given by a letter, from Bensons dated the 35th ofJaineary, 1809, when Mr. Byrne had sin interest in the traiametion—since it was nut till the I till of April that Bruarin apprissil the Defendant of the joint interest of Bcrae and himself. Mr. NIARRYATr contended, that the proceeding was, throughout, essentially a joint transaction ; so perfectly an, that the parties could not have brought separate stetsons. Mr. Justice HOLROYD said, there was consider aisle luice in the objection raised by Mr. Sciirl•tt, and he was tint pr , pared to say, that lie would riot ultimately succeed in it. But, as it. went merel• to a matter of fonts, lie would not not/suit the Plaiiittlf. on it, hut reserve it for argument else where. This M'IlY the most proper cotir4e of pro ceeding, as it would not interfere with the merits of the ease. Mr. Morris, a broker, who sold the wines to Mr. Timpsam. stated, thet they were us general very in. different. They did snot smell like go.mirl They were not wines fit to be delivered into his Majesty's stores, for the navy. The cargo of the Protest consisted of 90. pipes, 39 hogshead.; of which *boat twenty pipes 'ought he siserchantible. The casks were old and biol. He had known Spa nish red-wines sometimes become acid its the course of the voyage from Gibraltar ; hot he believed, that, if *isle were Originally sound, and was pro perly fortified, it would not grow .our in cowing to this country. Mr. Timpsolt refused to receive the wines, WIIIM he knew their quality. •Mr. Crisp, to volume house the wines were sent for sale, after Mr. l'impson's refusal, had tasted several pipes, and found, it; general, that the vines .vere u erehantable. Fie endeavoured to sell wines. but the greatest offer he had was 15/. ta :hon. Had they been good wines, they would hove produced from 841. to A/. per tun. The net pro oer,ls were 1.5471. Is. 3d. Mr. who purchased the wines from Messrs. Crisp and Co. stated that he gave 15/. per tins for them, under the ides of sendinry them to South America. They were in a very " 'bad state. De did not think they could have been sound when shipped (ruin Gibraltar. Mr. SCARLETT, for she Defendant, said, that this action was liron;;ltt with a pecillier ill grace. Mr. Benson had been himself at Gibraltar, and was on th e mo s t friendly terms with the Defendant. The consequence of this intimacy was, that when he returned to this country, he requested the De fendant to purchase wines for him, uut es on agent, but absolutely as a partner in the speculation. It was, therefore, rather too much for him now to turii round, and to bring his action against an in dividual, is agent, who at the time the order for the dine was given, and when it was bought, con ceived List he was acting for himself, as well as fur the person who was the Plaintiff, though lie hap pened also to be the witness in this action. It was clear from a letter of Benson, dated in January, 1809, that he then considered Mr. Pinker as har ing a partner's interest iii the purchase of the wine. Then, with respect to the alleged negligence, could it he sopporied that a man, who believed, as the Defendant did, that lie had a direct interest in the trans:iction, would not have taken every precaution his power to execute the business correctly ? A discretion was evidently vested in the Defendant, as to his purchase of wines, arid his mode of shipping them—for, in a letter of the 16th of February, Mr. Benson expressly said, " I am always pleased with whet you do." The two letters alluded to by Mr. SCARLET? were put in and read. Mr. MARavArr, for the Plaintiffs, denied that the Defendant had ever been looked 011 as a hart ue► in tins transaction. The invoice proved this, in which the Defendant charged a regular commis sion for his trouble. At the request of one of the Jurv. Mr. Morris was again called to the witness-box. The Juryman wished to know what leakage the wine had sus tained in the voyage to this country ? If the leakage were considerable, the air would get in, and materially injure the wine. Mr. Morris read the entries iu his book, from which it appeared, that a leakage of front three to thirty, forty, and even SO gallons, had taken place in different casks, lu swine instances, the wine had entirely run out. Mr. Justice flotcovu, in summing up, re gretted that an action of this stature, which im puted twgligence to •au individual, ordinarily re siding in another country, had not been brought, if there were proper ground to sustain it. at all earlier period, instead of nine years being suffered to elapse. ere the matter was brought to issue. When so extended a period had gone by, the most satis factory evidence of the neglect ought to be laid before the Jury—and it wits for them to say whether that which had been offend was perfectly con• elusive. The Jury, without hesitation, reterned a verdict fu► the Defendant. This cause occupied the Court from its sitting mod ball'-past lour o'clock. The Middlesex Sessions will commence on Monday at Flick's Hall, the Old Bailey Sessions Wediwsday, and the Admiralty Sessions at the setae place ou Moudsy uext. IV ES TMINSTKR SESSIONS. Yesterday the Westminster Sessions were held at the Sessions House, before it. Bllt6A, Esq. the Chairman, and r fall Bench of Magistrates. The CliAtablAN, in charging the Grand Jury, mrirl lie was happy to inform them, that the present Calendar wh* of a lighter nature than the last to which they had given their attention. lie was not aware it contAiairtl any matter di ff erent from the or dinary nature of of to which their attention was initially called ; but if any thing of a particular description struck them in the course of their busi ness, the Court would be ready to give them any information which they may deem necessary. The Court theu proceeded to the trials on the day's list, which were chiefly remarkable for nothing but the pertinacity with which the parties resorted to the exposure and expense of law proceedings for the odpistinent of their private squabbles. FAMILY BUOI LS. Abraham Davis, and Sarah, hie wife, were in dicted for imaulting Phoebe, the wife of Hymn brael. _ _ _ The Prosecntrix stated, that she had been for some tune separated from her husband, but had a "awn time smu•e gone to the house of the Prisoner* to see bias. SIo. was there qinet'y roped to so. licitiog him to rejoin her, AndYr MI domestic liar. 'army..-they were, in fact, talltuig together quite in a strain of mililites when the Prisoners rushed unt, and assaulted her ; the female Prisoner was very violent, and struck tier a blow across the face. In her Cmoll4-examlwition by Mr. CURWOOD, she denied that she had ever signed articles of separa tion before the High Priest (the parties, as their names denote, were of the Jewish religion). She had certainly commenced a suit against her husband, for the purpose of being rectumd to her nuptial rites. She declined entering into any particulars respect ing the cause of the family quarrels, except so far as the present cause rendered it necessary. The Prt owners were the sister and brother in law of her iiushand: The assault was Committed in one of the livenues of the synagogue frequented by the parties. The avenue went through the house of the Prisoners. A constable of the name- of Harris, and another person, who intend the synagogue for the preserva tion of order, corroborated the statement of the Prosecurix, by stating, that when they came up the Prisoners seemed extremely violent against the Defendant, and one of them struck her. Mr. CURWOOD, who was for the Defendants, ad dressed the Jury, and in the course of his speech said, that the evidence of the Prosectitrix stood wholly unconfirmed in its materiel parts. Mr. ADOLPHUS, who was fur the prosecution, in terrupted him, mid said that the constable confirm ed the principal witness. Mr. Cul:wimp complained of this interruption, and said he would not be interrupted by any moo while addressing his own arguments to a Jury. lie resumed his address to the Jury with the observa tionwhich led to the interruption, mid Mr. ADOLPIII.IB again interposed, and said, he could not allow the same observation to go to the Jury, as a statement of evidence; and as to the ex pression that the Learned Gentleman would nut he interrupted by any man, he (Mr. Ado?phut) would appeal to the Court whenever he thought his duty required it to uphold the regielarity of its proceed ings, in the same manner that they would be up held in IVestmitister Mr. CURWOOD said lie would always pay the same deference to the Chair of this Court, that lie would pay to the Bench in the Courts of %Vest. minster Hall ; but he would again say, that no man except the Chairman should interrupt hint there while using his own line of argument to a Jury. The CH•IILMAN interposed, and discountenanced interruption, observing, that the Jury would have an opportunity in the summing up of the evidence, of correcting any mistakes into which Counsel fell in the discharge of their duty to their Clients. Mr. CURIVOOD resumed his address to the Jury, and the f! tiatamsx summed up the evidence , . Verdict, Gudry.—Sentence, A fine if 3s. 4d. each. This family quarrel, which' had nearly extended itself beyond its original sphere. did not even end here ; for the next trial war that of Nyasa Israel. the husband of the last Prosecutrix, for au assault upon his own father. Abraham Israel, the Prosecutor, stated, that the Prisoner, who waii/his son, met him lii the vici nity of Covent- idea, on the 19th October. The miscouduct-efhis son had caused a separation he tween them for nearly eleven year,.. Since that period he had had no connexion with his sun, and when he met hint in the street on the day in ques tion. he tried to avoid but his sun came up, and after using the grossest language struck him upon the head, and spit in his face. In his cross-examination by Mr. CURWOOD, he said there had been r long family quarrel, and that be would have placed the Prisoner well in life if lie bad behaved us he ought to have done ' • but he had not done so, and had even threntened the lives of his father (wit!tess), mother, and younger brother. He expressed a disinclination to enter into the par ticulars of the family disputes. The Jury found the Prisoner Guilty, and the Couar sentenced him to three mouths imprison ment, and then to find sureties to keep the peace. The whole of the parties seemed to be in a re putable station in life. Margaret Smith, alias Green, and Catherine Pin ney, her sister, were put to the bar, charged by cross-indictments with assaults upon each other. Each party told her tale with a good deal of vo lubility, and not a little of recrimination, and the sviitsesseti were also divided iu their opinion upon the merits of their respective cases. The Jury found Catherine Pinney Guilty, and the Foreman said, it was because she was proved to have had a stick in her hand at the time.—Mar garet Smith, dies Green, Not Guilty. Catherine Pinney was fined his. Pd. acquittal availed little for Margaret Smith, for she was iininediately after convicted tOr an as. sault upon a woman Tothill -fields, and sentenced to fourteen days imprisonment. Moses Levi was indicted for assaulting Rosa Harrison the ilst September. The Prosecuirix stated, that she kept a shop for the sale of ladies' dresses, iu Holiwell.otreet, med the Prisoner kept 11. e adjoining one. The ae nit was committed upon her while she Vide sweeping be fore her door to clean the pathway. The P►i.uuer swept the rlirt back again, and struck her with the broom in the breast. For the Prisoner some witnesses proved that the push of the blush was nut intentional, but purely accidental. Verdict—Guilty. Seitteuce—a fine of 13% 4d. John Willis was convicted of keeping a disorderly house in Chair-court. Shire-lime, owl liberated on his own rtyognieanee, as it appeared that the nuisance was abated. POLICE. DIANSION-110USIL STEALING A TWELFTH CAKE. Robert an able, ill•lnnking fellow, was charged Ly Jonathan Sleet, paatry.cuok, of Fssli-street-hill, with having walked into his shop and deliberately shale', a five shilling twelfth cake, without endeavouring to conceal his intention. The Prisoner made a very crying story of it. He said that he bad been twenty.fiye years at sea, eighteen of which had been devoted to his Majesty's see vice—that he had been it) London hut three days, and had nut tasted fund, 4011 which account he walked into the Complainant's shop and began to feed on one of the things before him, aitbnut knowing whether it was worth fire shillings or one shil ling Ile slisitil.l, however, as soon as he got his price money, pay hack twenty times the value of the cake. The Lord Mayor gave very little credit to this story, and wag confirmed in his mispicion of the Prisunet's veracity on hearing the evidence of the watchman, who said that he saw Smith talking to a lady and gentleman a few minutes InAiire this occurrence, and declaring to them that lie was ill time most abject state of poverty. The watchman observed, that the lady mid gentleman gave Smith 9.1. after which the litter drew a penknife, swore he was starving, and that lie would murder somehuily in order tit get hanged as soon as possible. After some impostulation with him, the watchman prevailed en him to put up Isis knife and walk on. Soots after hiss departure, however, a ionise at Mr. Sleat's shop attracted the attention of the watchman, 'alto nil going In the spul fonisd the Prisoner with a large twelfth rake initis hand, and the Complainant .-ntleavottring to take it from him. Six pence in halfpence were found en hi• pocket. Ile was sentenced to a moutli's ituprisuument and a good sound hogging. GUILDIOALL. Ilefors Alderman Wool,. LIABILITY OF COACH OFFICES FOR PARCELS. Wm. Kent, the hook-keeper of Mr. Fagg, the proprietor or the Crown and 13e1ACoach 011ie,. Holborn, appealed tin a @moutons to Roemer the complaint of Julio Till, fur the non-delivery of a parcel. The Complainant stated, that he received a letter from a friend in Gloucester, informing I La Ile bad sent hima parcel by Sutton's Pt rseverairce coach, to be left at the De fendant's coach offta rat called ,Fir. It arrived in town on the 22.1 of Decenths r, and on Christmas Day he called for it, when lie was informed they knew nothing about ►t. Ile call ed again on SOtUrilay, atoll he was told it was AWN:third to Deptford. He fowls' the pares I there on Sunday, and part of its contents were spoiled, a goose and two sets of gittleto, and on his appliratiou to the office for remutierati 1111 l tl m •y refused to give him any, and he was obliged to take out the present summons. The Defend int admitted that the parcel was received, and sent to Deptford, but the reason of sending it was an appre hension that the articles it coulained were periotiside. Alderman Wood observed, it was impossible that a poor man, like the Complainant. could be found out in Deptford by the niece direction, Deptford. The Defendant stated, that if the proprietors of the roach °nice were to he brought up to a politic-office for every such transaction as the present, they *until have nuthiug to do but to answer summonses. Alderman Wood—" I must look into she Act of Parlia ment, and ascertain whether this charge is contemplated in it. I must do my duty. The non-delivery of the parcel io a great Ims to the Complainant, who is a poor man, besides the disappointment to him and his family ow Chriomas Day. Had you tint better 4:011111C11Utt the Complainant fur his loos?" The Du fondant said, he was directed by Mr. Fagg not to pay one farthing by Ilse way of compensation. Alderman Wood—" Then tbe Act of Parliament pro video, if a parcel is received at a coach-office, and du eled to be left till called for, and it is twit delivered when called for, the person so offending shall be convicted in the pe nalty of 20s. and nut less than 10e. This is a rase that calls fur the full penalty. I therefore direct that you pay 211 s. and the costs. It is high time that the Legislature sl:•iuld interfere, by making an Act of Pal Moneta that propeily sent to cuarb-offices, and destroyed by the negligence or over seal of the proprietors in sendiog them contrary to the directions, fur it conies to the mime thing, as the over seal is wily to add to the porterage, that the value shall be ►ecovered by sonic summary proems, instead of the expen sive one of bringing au action at law.

It was well known that the parcels brought up at that time consisted of poultry and game, the price of the carriage for which did nut re. munerate the proprietors for the loos of their horses. Alderman Wood—. All you complaiu of is its the power of the proprietors to obviate; fur these is tor law to oblige them to overload their coaches ; if they du su, it is for the sake of gam " The Defendaut was convicted in the penally of 20s. and cools. IO►EV-SQUARE. YOUTH FU I. DELINQUEICY. Yesterday Vienne !lichens, a lad about twelve year , : of age, was charged by his own mother with stealing a sliver spoon, her property. The mother, apparently much affected, related to the Ma gistrate that every pains bad been taken to instruct the young delinquent In the t►ne path of religton, morality. and virtue, but all in Vault ; instead of going to school he would waoder about the streets with bad boy, who initiated him without much difficulty ioto their ono system of vice and A short time ago be went to etc his father, who is servant in a family in Berkeley-square, and to his temporary ab sence opened one of his drawers, and stole therefrom a 51.
