Mr. Serjeant H vt.t.ocx opened the case to the Jury. This action arope from • trespass committed by the Defendants, in taking away • grave-stone from the grave it► which the Plaintiff's ancestors were interred. in the church-yard of Maud. near Halifax ; the grave-stone had, indeed. been re stored, but not till after the action hail been brought, and the real ground of action now was the expenses. The first Defendant, the Rev. Mr. At• kilning) ' was perpetual curate of Elland ; the other two Defendants. Mande and Broadbent, were the churchwardens. They had forbidden any epitaphs to be engraved in this church-yard without their consent, conceiving that none were qualified for that profound craft but their sexton. The father of the Plaintiff had been sexton, and had been removed by Mr. Atkinson, and succeeded by Brookes, who claimed the exclusive right of en graving any epitaph he chose. The Plaintiff, how• ever. naturally wished to exercise his own skill in engraving the epitaph of his fathers—and skil ful he must be, at least if skill came by (lowest', for his father and grieidfirther had bees siexiour and engravers. There was much legal jargon or nonsense, called ecclesiastical law, connected with this case. in which he was not deeply read. But with all due deference to the Proctors and Doctors, he .could establish that the property of the grave-stone was in the heir at law, although the property of the soil to which it was attached was in the Rector. The apeoperty was of importance to the Plaintiff, who, in his humble situation in life had no other means of 'hewing that his father hadl lived and died. The Plaintiff had applied to the Rev. Mr. Atkinson for leave to make some ad. ditiun to the inscription on the tomb of his father. Mr. Atkinson had so much difficulty, that he could not at once accede; but thinking that all the in jury would be to the Plaintiff, in lying three or four hours on his breast on the cold stone, lie afterwards said, " You may go." The Plaintiff did not go im mediately, but in November last lie went to prepare the Stone for entering the seamen of the branches of the families who had died. On the 17th of No vember he began to engrave, having raised the stone for that purpose by placing some kind of bar rel under the one end and two stones under the other. He proceeded as far as " Sally died Au gust—" when the darkness of night intercepted him. He left the stone in that position. The De fendants, in the course of the night, having conceived that the Plaintiff had put the rights of the church in hazard, had taken away, and confined the sin hippy stone in a channel-house under the church. Mr. Alexander. the attorney, was applied to to wuite to the Defendants, and on the 2d of February the stone was restored. The only cause of contest now was the expenses which had been incurred. and which the Defendants refused to pay. Mr. SCARLET?, in addressing the Jury for the Defendants, animadverted, with much severity, on what lie called this paltry oction, which he con tended had been brought merely to recover costs. The real questibn at issue between the parties, lie raid, was, whether any man had a right to engrave in the church-yard, without the clergyman's per mission. He toutesided they had not ; and the Jury, after an hour and a half s consultation, re turned a verdict for the Defendants. FALSE IMPRISONMENT IN A MAD. HOUSE. HOR2ENA/41 V. P. auLaga, agv. W. MULDER, DR. REL. COMBO, DIATIDER. MATTSRSON, AND SCOTT. Mr. VERNON stated the pleadings. It was an action of trespass committed in taking the Plaintiff, Miss Jane Horseman, from her dwelling.house, and imprisoning her is a lunatic asylum; and damages were claimed for ex posure of her character, sod for the excruciating agonies of Mind which she bad endured. All the Defendants pleaded the general issue, Nut Guilty. Mr. Serjeant Otos* addressed the Jury. The Plaintiff and ; her mother, a very aged Lady, upwards of 00, in the village of Poppletoa, very sear York, had lived together happily and Comfortably for 20 years hack, respected, emu:eased, and be loved by all their neighbours and acquaintances. lu cense quest* of the great age of her mother the management of their domestic concerns had all devolved upon the Plaintiff. Her mother bad a small piece of land, her own peoperty. Besides this they bad an speedy of 2001 given by a brother of the Plaintiff, a gentleman of great respectability and opulence it. the East Indies. This suavity was paid to them through the hands of the elder Balmer, one of the Defendants, who had married the Plaintiff's smut, her mother's sister. The Reverend William Bulmer, another of the Defendants, was sun of the elder Balmer. Both living in Yurk, were is the habit of going constantly to Mrs. Horseman's hours fur pleasure and amusement; it was to them sod their families as a country-house. Mrs. sad Miss Homeless were always happy to see them, and always entertained them most hospitably, The annuity began latterly to be paid not very punctually. it was doled out to them in pittances of five pounds. Complaints were made of this : hence arose aliens tions and animosities. The Learned Serjeant theu proceed ed to state the fact of imprisonment for three weeks in a soad-hoase of the young larti, with circumstances of great severity, fur which the action was brought. Several witnesses were examined at great length, and it appeared that although sot is a stale of absolute insanity, the Plaintiff had contratted a habit ofdrisking which veal sionally reduced her to a state of mental imbecility. The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff.—Damages SO/. RilTy N D ASSIZES. lOU LTBEE V. JONES. Mr. READER havirig opened this cause by stat ing that it was as talon to recover the value of farming effect., househbld goods, &c. takers by the Defendant of the Plaintif f at Kelton, The JUDGE rose, and said he perceived that be anies this action there were two indictments; he had read the depositions, and although as a Judge it was his duty to try those matters, he thought that it was a higher duty which lie owed to the community iu a case like this, to endeavour to effect a reconciliation between the psriies. It was impossible not to see that the origin of all the difference which bud iniseii between these gentlemen was room mistake; and although it would obviously he matter of great amusement to the by candeis to have the case laid bare in Court, the di ing so must produce grief in a still deeper degree to all the friends of the parties. Surely it was not impossible to prevent the exposure—this disin terested advice would, his Lordship hoped, have its proper effect, in producing a reference, uud a pri vate hearing of the dispute. After some pause, succeeded by a conference be tween Counsel and Attorneys, the Judge'. advice was taken, and it was agreed to refer the matter in difference to Mr. Amos, a new barrister on the Circuit, with lull power to settle all costs aad matter, whatever.
