COURT OF ICING'S BENCH, GVILIMILLS., 11111DATi JAIUMLY 12. 4ttiorreed Sittings after Michaelmas Merin, be,')re Chief ✓ustice Aunty!" . arid Special Juries. PAGE 5. AtitEILY and cor.E.S. This was an action on the case. The declara tion, in the first count. alleged, that the Defend ant. bring employed by the ( ) Willa as Attorneys of that Court, by not ruling the Sheriff of Middle sex to make a return to a writ rafted fades, hail prevented him from availing I • self of his legal remedy against the Sheriff—and, in the second, it was stated, generally, that, by their negligeoce, the Plaintiff had suffered considerable loss. It appeared, from the statement of Mr. SCAR- Lwr•r, that Mr. Page had lent the sum of 4001. to a person of the name of Stephens, who was carry ing ou a is marine amp onanufaetory" at Chelsea, and also had a house in Judd-street, Brunswick squure. To secure the payment of this money, Stephens gave to him a warrant of attorney, dated the Bth of March, 1810, by which it was stipulated, that the debt 'should be liquidated on the 16:11 of June, 1816. When that period arrived, Stephens was unable to make good the payment, and the present Defendants were ordered to proceed against him. A writ watt sued out, and a warrant procured, with the execution of which Watkins, a Sheriff's officer, was intrusted. He proceeded to Chelsea on the 18th of June—but was informed by the landlord of the premises which Stephens occupied, that there was on use in his coming there. 'welliee an extent was already issued by the Crown for excise duties, to a greater amount then the property (if any) on the premises was worth- - -..ind that there was 11,60 a large arrear of rent due to him. Wats. kins then went to Judd-street, and misinformed, that Stephens had absconded., sod that there were no goods left in the house. Watkins reported what he hued heard to the Defendants. and they, without further inquiry gale Gill credit to the statement, and conceived it was unnecessary to take any further pro ceedings. But it turned out, finally, that the in formation given to %Vat kin* was altogether incor rect. No extent had hero issued against the effects of Stephens—he owed no rent on the 18th of June, 4nd there was property both on his premises at Chelsea and Judd-street. The Plaintiff discovered that, on the 44th of June, the landlord of the pre mises at Chelsea, to whom rent was t'sen due. had caused a distress to be levied, and goods to be sold, which, if prover steps had been taken, would have been seized in satisfaction of the warrant of attor ney. He also found, that various articles had been disposed of in the latter end of June, for the be• nefit of Stephens himself—which articles, but for ii want of proper. caution, would have been sold for the purpose of liquidating his demand. The Sheriff, not having been ruled to make a return to the writ. was not liable, as he would have been, had he returned arella bona, when property, as in this case, really existed on the premises ; and, therefore, the Plaintiff sought redress at the hoods of those, by whose neglect (he meant not for u mo ment to call it a criminal yeti), he was prevent ed from seising the goods Stephens in execution. The warrant of attorney was put in and read. Mr. James Butler proved that a writ of fieri Acids, iti the cause i• Page n. Stephens," was sued out on the 17th of June, 1816. In answer to a question from Mr. GURNEY, he said he did not know u more respectable or diligent officer than Mr. Watkins., Wm. Hudow, a broker, stated, that he was em ployed, on the 24th of June, 1816, to make a dis tress, for rent, on the premises of Stephens, at the suit of his landlord. He found a plant, and other utensils for making soap, in the manufactory at Churl-ea. They were sold for 181. 10s. He got in by watching the exciseman. He found the place deserted. John Thompson, an excise-officer, was in the habit of inspecting the premises in which Stephens manufactured soap, at least three times a day dur ing the mouth of June, 1816. There was sonic property on the ground. Neither in the month of Juice, nor at any other tune, was an extent issued against Stepliests'it effects. James Gibbs. a soap-maker, purchased, on the 16 , 1 i of September, 1817, a variety of articles used by Stephens in the manufacture of soap, to the amount of 65/. Mimiett, an auctioneer, made a sale on the premises of Stephens, by his desire, on the 12th of November, 1816, to this amount of 141. 11s. He also sold some property, at his wile-room, to the amount of 71. 14s. in the axone month. lie had since sold a parcel of Stephens's goods, which pros (lured 171. for an arrest. of King's taxes. Joists Drillett purchased, some time in August, 1816, a large soap pan. from Stephens. W. W. Leasingbold was in toe service of Mr. Stephens, in 1916. He had a house in Judd-street, Brunswick-square, and carried on is marine soap manufactory, at Chelsea. lie recollected property taken from the manufactory at Chelsea, and sold to Gibbs, Drillett, and two men of the names of Blake and Norton. The goods witness sold pro duced '251. 15s. There was property in Stepheirs's house ut Judd-street, probably worth 201. Tills was subsequent to June, 1816. -- Stephens deposed, that he purchased the whole of the property at Chicken, worth near 400/. and also that contained in his house in Judd.street. He was ohiuged, subsequently to the 16th in June, 1816, to sell a part of it. In ate month of Oc totter, lie saw Mr. Amory, one of the Defendants, and complamed to him of the inatoter in which the goods were sold, observing, it would lie better to put in an execution at once. Mr. Amery said, he had put the busiuers iii the hands nt all officer, on whom lie could rely, and he could do no more. The goods were 5(5111 for uquarter of their value. Cross-exansined.-41e was not arrested, but went iota ludgiogs ill the Borough-road, of his own ac cord. H.! was perfectly open and visible at his look, iu Judd-street, until the month of J uly, 1816, when he writ! to the Borougli•rtrad. Mr. GURNEY, having pronounced a very high patiegyric on the Deferitlaiit-, contended, that the Piatioiff ill this case hod, originally, ills remedy against the Sorrell, for not aCliag Under the writ that ha(' beets sued out.—and, if h., permitted the lane to go by, in aloe!. it teas ca!iii,eteut for kat to hriog ii uctiou against the Sheriff, it was 11:1 own fault, and be could not afterwerils torn routol, and select the present °trentlnnis as the persains who were to be accountable. Now, with T....pee% to the case itself, he would prove, that when Officer went to Judd-street, he found that Ste phew. hail run away, although the latter had sworn that be was visible there until the month of July.

He wrote and informed Mr. Page of the statement made by ‘Vatkins. Robert Soares and Vs'illium London, the assist ants, who accompanied Watkins to Chelsea, cor roborated his testimony.

John Drake, Alexander Deicer, and Christopher Bustard, were iudi ted for the wilful der of Daniel Nl'Curmick, on the high seas, on board the convict ship Chapman, on the 17th April, 1817. Mr. Drake, ahn was the commander of the con vict ship, was tried and acquitted yesterday, to gether with one of the soldiers on board, on tt charge of having murdered a convict named M•Ardle. The present indictment was for the mar der or another convict; but the transactions winch led to the death of M'Ardle and M'Curmick were the same in both cases. Mr. Dewer was the Doctor of the ship, and Mr. Bustard, the Lieutenant commanding the soldiers on board. They severally pleaded Not Guilty. Sir C. ROBINSON, the King's Advocate, meted the whole particulars of the transactions which took place on board the ship Chapman, on the 17th in the saute manner iss they were narrated yesterday. The evidence in this case disclosed nothing new. The Jury instantly stoked that they had made up their minds on the case, and had no doubt the Prisoners; were Not Guilty. This verdict was recorded, and the Prisoners bowed to the Court and were immediately dis charged,. Three oilier persons in custody on the same charge,' were ordered to be set at liberty, as the Counsel for the Crown intimated that there was no intention of prosecuting them. . .
