This was a writ of inquiry to assess damages. in an action brought by the Plaintiff. who kept an academy st Hantsuereinith, against the Defendant, an attorney of Cursitor-street, Chancery-lane, for putting in sit diesel execution and distraint upon the Plaintiff's preenisesolie Defendant having suf fered judgment to go by default. The damages were laid at 3,000/. Mr. TUKTOM stated the Plaintiff's case. The facts were briefly these :—The Pleintiff kept a re spectable academy at Hamtnersinith, and employ eel the Defendant as his legal adviser. In June, 1816; the Plaintiff was arre4ed at the suit of .senders, a butcher, for 186/. The Defendant was timplojed on that occasion to compromise the arrest, and to tattle with his (the Plaintiff's) cre ditors, by getting then* to accept of live shillings iii the 'email in pert payisiesit. The Plaintiff had given a eugliorii to Saunders for his debt, and the Defendant had entered into some further tq.nis of settlement with &woolen, in order to pro cure a forbearance of his demand. In cons' - ipienee of this arra n gement, the Plaintiff. Mori ll i l ! mid into the hotels of Will.ante, the Defendant, a ram of 60/. and besides gave I a w a rrant of at torney ; but for *hat purpose this instrument was put into the hands of Williams did not distinctly appear. It was represented to be in the nature of a sezurity fur any debt that might accrue to Wil liams, and with a view to protect the property of Alorini from his creditors—and as such was MOUS.. pectins!). given, and in perfect confidence, in the wouratter ut the Defendant acting as h:s attorney. The money; hosvestr, which was advanced by the Plaintiff, fur the purpose of being paid to his creditors, Mr. Williams had thought proper to apply to his own use, alleging that the Plaintiff was indebted to him, %Valiant', its a greater amount fur busbies. done; and. upon the warrant of attor ney, at the suit of Williams, an execution was moreover wantonly put in upon the Plaintiff's pre mises at Hammersmith, and a levy made of his furniture and effects, including the bedding upon which the bop' slept, so that the whole of his scholars were then necessretly removed by their parents; the school at once broken up, and the Plaintiff utterly united in the exercise of a profitable business. This the Learned Counsel observed, was the cruel. scullion, and mulicious iiijiiry, for which the Plaintiff laitl his damages at 3,0001. and which was by no means an adequate coiupensation, Cuss mitering the Plaintiff's business was then worth 500/. per annum. The execution so put in by the Defendant, as likewise the warrant of attorney, bad bees' set aside by the Court of King's Bench ; void by the same judgment the Defendant, Wil liams, was not only ordered to restore the goods bike's, but to repay the 60!. he had received of Morini, kr the purpose of settling' with his cre ditors, and which he (Williams) had retained in his hands up to that time.

PHIY.POTT v. soattocit and oViluag. This was • case which excited a great deal of 'interest in the county, and is certainly our of ge neral importance to the community. It was nu ac tion upon the case, for wilfully, maliciously, anal without any reasonable or probable cause. suing out an extent in aid against the Plaintiff. whereby his complete ruin was effected. The outline of the case uu the part of the Plain tiff was this:— The Plaintiff was a respectable fanner and malt. ster, with a large family of infant children residing at Thaxted in this 'county, and the Defeudatits were bankers, carrying on business at Cambridge, and at lii-hop Stortf6rd. in Hertfordshire, being also receivers-general of certain King's duties, and in that capacity under security to the Crawl, to the amount of ninety thousand pounds. The Plaintiff had kept cash with the Defendants. nod had overdrawn Isis account to the amount of 66u/. For the purpose of securing the Defendants in this sum he lead given them a promissory note payable on demand. preparatory to more sub &midisd security, into which lie afterwards en. tered, namely, a mortgage 011041 his landed pro perty. and a warrant of attorney to confess judg ment by • certain day—which day would not occur until the mouth of August, 1816. Upon receiving the latter securities, they had leveed to deliver up Hie promissory note, but failed to perform their promise. Notwithstanding this treble security for the tame flrht, the DefetirtintN, iii the mouth of Allard), 1816, issued an extent in aid upon the promissory note, which they had agreed to give up, founded on the usual affidavit, that the Plaintiff was in insolvent circumst.suces, and that the De fendants would be unable to pay the debt of the Crown, unless they hall the assistauce of the prero gative process. Accordingly, under the extent, all the Plaintiff's property was seised ; but, however, the case being tried in the Court of Exchequer, the Jury found it verdict against the Defendants, there by dechtring that there eau no debt due to them from the Plaintiff to support the extent. In the snout time, hoarser, the Sheriff's officer remained in siossrasion of the P1161.61'1'6 property until the following Term, when the extent was withdreen ; lint the very rause day the Defendants entered up judgment on their warrant of attorney, in pursuance of which the Plaintiff and his children were turned into the street, unit leis property sub!, thereby effecting his ruin. In consequence of which the present action was brought. it bring proved that the Plaintiff, at the time of . ..sin g the extent, had abundance of property to pity all ha debts, awl ' till worth some hundreds of pounds. The Defendants being aware of the Pleintiff's *lama circumstances, it was contended that they had issued the extent in aid maliciously and without :key reasonable or pro balite cause. Mr. Serjeant ONst.ow, in an ingenious and elo quent address to the Jury, contended, that they must be satisfied tint the Di &mittens hail not acted from malicious motives, anti without any reasotnible or probable cause. Ile was io u conclilum to nega tive the foundation of the action, by sheen% that his clients haul acted upon legal advice, and upon a conscientious conviction that the Defendant was in insolvent circumstances at the time they issued the extent in aid. ?.Jr. Baron Wimp summed up the case wills great perspicuity. charging them, in point of law, that the tiromissary note, upon which the extent was founded, merged in the higher security tit the mortgage and west raid of attorney. But it was for the Jury to determine whether the Defendants buil acted maliciously and without any reasonable or probable cause. The evidence in the case certainly proved that at the time they made their affidavit, the Plaintiff was nut in insolvent circitinstaucrs, and nothing was %hewn to justify tlpeir deposition that the Plaintiff was unable to pay their debt. It also answered, that they had agreed to give up the Komi:ivory nute, upon receiving the other securities. If, however, theM was no malice, or if there was u ' probable cause for the proceeding, the Defendants won't' Ire entitled to a verdict.

IMITATIVE TEA. • ;: • . •, In COnsequence of the late disc urea relative 16 the practices of some of the tea-dealdil adulterating their tea with slow end ash leaves, it was uuderstood that some notice of that circumstance would be taken by the brads of the trade, either at or subse quent to the usual time of their meeting at the tea sales ut the India House. Accordingly, on Wed nesday last, during an interval between the sales, Mr. RICHARD TWINING rose and addressed tire Chairman, Sir JUUN JACKSON, to the following effect : " Mr. Chairmen, as the room is now most nu merously attended by Gentlemen of the tea-trade, I think it it proper lime to address you, Sir, olio.' reports which have been circulated, not only in town, but all over the kingdom, so injurious to the characters of the tea-dealers in general, than whew. I will venture to affirm, there is not a more respectable body of men existing. I mean the report eh .it nine-tenths of the tea trade do adulterate their tea with iish, sloe, and other leaves. This report. Sir, hiss bteii circulated widely tl gli the medium of the public prints, and if 'offered to go uocontrarlicted, will cast a n odium upon the whole body of teit.tlealers, which ought to rest solely upon a few obscure indivi duels. lam satisfied that tro respectable house in the City of Loudon is guilty of such illegal prac tices; and therefore they ought not to sutler an im putation of su serious a nature to puss tih ed. At first, I and other persons, the heads of the trade, thought that the falsehood of so general a censure was so glaring that nu person would give credence to it, and therefore it would be best not to notice so gross an aspersion. But I understand that the statement has gained belief; and I submit to yoa, S:r, whether it would not be proper for the tea trade, either now or at the close of the wiles, to dis cuss the subject, and immediately pursue such a Course as will expior the real pracmisers of such an abominable kisuil. lam satisfied that it is the in terest nut only or the tea-trade but of the country, , which gains such an enormous revenue by the sate of tea, that the suhjixt be taken into consideration. I therefore move that now, or at the close of the isles, us the Chairman shall book most fit, the re ports which have been circulated against the tea which may in their consequences prove highly injurious to them as a respectable body, be taken bib) consideration, and a Committee appointed with power to act as shall behest for the interests of the tea-irede." Mr. RICHARD SHARP rose and addressed the Chairmen :—" I second the motion of Mr. Twin ing, because! cm certain the trade will be injured by such reports. In fact, 1 know am instance where toy own business suffered. A Gentleman, whose family I have fur many years served with tea and every article of grocery, in his customary or der last week omitted tea; and, as a reason, said, that lie should leave off taking tea until he could procure it genuine, which he could not then obtain front the tea-dealers. I toll the Gen tleman that the statement, if it were meant to ap ply to the great liody of tea-dealers, aa.s a lllaMi iufamons falsehood : to which he replied, that the tea-trade had suffered it to go oncontradicted, and that he thought was a stiffly:ea ground for his supposing it to he trite.' I therefore hope that she trade will give their concurrence to Mr. isintioii," The whole of the Gentlemen present gave im mediately their sanction to Mr. Twining's motion. The Cif Alas' st thought it would br hest for the tea-trade to hate a meeting after the sales, and they could then proceed in the business without interruption.
