ThiS: Is the long-depending cause of the West India Dock Company. When it was called on,, it. appeared that only three of the Special' .Jurymen were in attendance, on which . the ATTOH bigy-GE NERAL declined praying a ta/isi a; it was a cause' Of • such' immense itnportance; bOth - to the Company and to the Public. Some idea may be formed of the magnitude of these concerns by what has ,been already disclosed in the course of the legal proceed ings we have had occasion to detail in one . Paper. A shore time since, we gave the particulars of an action for lighterage of Bd.• per hogshead, charged in certain cases of shipment. The result Was against that great commercial institution, and we are in formed, that it would make a' difference in their 'annual receipts to the extent of 150,0001. WILSON V. THE LONDON ASSURANCE COMPANY. This cause was deferred, on accouht of not hav ing a sufficient attendance of Special Jurymen. HANNAM V. HURRY. After this cause had been opened at sotne length, by agreement between the parties, a verdid was taken for 9001. and the quantum of damages was referred to the Foreman of the Jury. RUCKERS AND LUSHINGTON V. JOHN AND ABRA ' HAM ATKINS. The Plaitatills are Merchat its, at N 0.29, Mincing lane ; the Defendants are Merchants, at No. 7, Wal brook. The former are owudrs of the Ship Cho, and the latter of the Anna Maria Catharina, both in the West India trade. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated, that this action was brought for the damage done to the Clio, she having been run foul: of by the Defendants' Ship.. They were both destined to the West Indies, and having sailed from the Downs, had reached Ports-, mouth, where the Captains had both of them re ceived instructions from the Commodore uqder , whose convoy they were to proceed. They after wards went to Torbay, and the accident on which this suit Was' founded; occurred as they were leaving that harbour. The whole cause would turn upon, thelad, Whether the Captain of the Defendants had faithfully observed the seiling instructions he had received ; if he had acted consistently with them, the Defendants were not liable; if otherwise, they must be responsible. The part of the ingtrUCtions to,which the Learned Counsel referred, he would take the liberty of stating : to guard against the dangers of Ships falling on board each other, it was ordered that the Skip on the starboard tack should i keep the wind, and that the Ship on ti the larbOard tack should bear LILL AThe models of two Ships were produced, to as sist in explaining the respedive situations of the vessels.) The Clio was on the starboard tack, and the other • on the contrary tack, both 'of them crossing to op posite sides of the Bay. ln.this position it was the duty of the coodnators of the Clio to-keep the'wind, and of the Anna Maria Catharina to bear up. The latter did not conform to the,instruaious, notwith—: standing the whole crew of the Clio, excepting the man at the wheel, called Out from the forecastle to warn the, crew of the other'vessel to bear up. The consequence of the, negled was, that the larboard bow'Ot the Clio was driven in, 'and damage was done to the vessel in other rospeCts. Never was a plainer case statedj and the only question the Jury had to decide was; if the Defendants under , such' circnin , stances were answerable. 'The Vessel which bore tip in such cases Went out of her course, and lost a little of her'way ; and, on the contrary, that which kept the wind, preserved her direction uninterrupt edly.- It wasnecesary, therefore, that some rule shduld be prescribed by which mariners should know with certainty which ve4.4..5i was entitled to retain the benefit of the wind. Tile Learned Counsel could form some idea of the defence inteoded, because a few witnesses of the Defendants had becu examined upon ititerr . ogatories; argil : ha had seen the proceedings under the Commission. One of these - witnesses had said.that the, Ship 'Anna Maria ,Catharina was working. out of Torbay, and that she missed.stays, although every exertion was used to. put her about, and beitig - thns,Ungovernable, this, vessel did not fun b ill ofthe Cie, hut the. Clio ran foul of, the Atind Maria Catharina. All his witnesses would agree 'that the ship of histlients wat on the starboard tack, And that of the' Defendants on the larboard tack, Jie should proce'ed. tO the proof, andttpen no doubt would femain on the minds of the Jury. Captain' John Ferguson, who commanded the Clio, Said, that hes:tiledin, March, ifBo6, bound for Tobago, under convoy of the Cerberilis, Captain • Sellon, from WhoM he 'received his sailing instruc tions. He-saW the Defendants' Ship tit half a mile - distance ; as they were leaving Torbay. He hailed her, as Me bore 'down upon him, bet rya - attention was paid, to him ; end the consequence was, that she ran aboard of him, and.his Jareoard bow was stove in. Johhson and Dennis, .two Mariners, deposed to the same effect. The sailing, instructions were produced ; Eiid being ,read in evidence, appeared to be confortnable to the statement of the ATTotttiy GENERA" Mr. said, that if a verdict, should be given for the Plaintiffs, the Gentlemen of the Jury would be spared the trouble of ascertaining the damage, as the parties had agreed that it shoUld be Settled out of Court. He admitted the instruetions, buteontend ed that the accident 'arose from a cause which the Captain of the Defendants' Ship could not oontroul, his vessel having missed stays, and, in consequence] become ungovernable. • It was a Dutch vessel, and theretbre not so mauageable es ships built iu British' docks. •On account of her aukward constru6tion, it was necessary that 'she should make an additional talk, to extricate,hersellfrom . the harbour, which, by the inspe.dion.of the map, would appear to be of difficult exit, in:prOportion to its convenience and security in of lienlpspeas. Captain l o iod4ey„ of the Anna. Matia Catharine, ,deposed; that his Mate. having sung out that there was a Ship. on his lee, he catne round, and hallooed to. the Clio several :times, " Ship a- ; your boy put - helm down.'" Twelve men were on deck. He said to. his people, " tlhat man must certainly see I am not manageable, and he. will not put 'his helm .tlOwn." . . 13cittgcrosslexammed ATTOR,REiGVSE;• .1;;A:i he said, that he had find that the Oh, came to him, and bore down upon•birn in that situation. • At first he put his helm dOwnin stays, awl when she bad stern way, he put her helm up: When he Was pressed as.tplliecaaSe of the accident, there was some ineonsisteney'between his testimony in Court, aii&the contents of•ti letter he had written on the subleci. Paton, the Mate, and Neal Sprrtgg, a Mdriner, were next 'examined and after a short observation• of the CIiTEP RISTICE, a verdict was Inimd for the Plaintiff, the quantatu of damages tobe determined by Mr. Dollaitd,. , BURDON V. THE CORPORATION OF THE ASHBY DE LA ZOIJCH CANAL. • , . The ATTOUNEY GEI4ERAi. stated, that this was an aaton for money lent upon interest, to the amount of 56001. for the use of the Corporation, kle said,* that under a particular AEI, the Proprietors Were enabledao borrow mbney on terms which neither individuals nor Corporation's , Could do without the Legislative sinaion. A Statute of 34 Geo. 3.•eri- powered them to raise, by subscription, for shares in this canal, 150,03001. and further oti loan, at legal interest, upon mortgage or otherwise, 50,0001.--- The Act pointed out the nature of the security, and supplied the copy .of the form of deed to be given in such cases. - The mortgagee was to have a share 'of the toll, without any preference with respect to the time of the mortgage. The ordinary situation was, that each mortgagee had a preference accord, ing to the priority, of the date of his mortgage.— The Plaintiff was no mdrigagee ; he brought lais a&ion fiat a Cornmon debt, and the Learned Co' un-', sel would state the circumstances under which, the advanCe was made. The affairs of the Coinpauy were under the management of a Gentleman named \\rum, who was partner in a Banking-house. •The Plaintiff happened to have a Bill for .5,601. upon , the firm, Mr. \YAKS proposed, that if he had no other employment for the money, the Plaintiff should advance it to this Canal Company, to which the latter acceded, on condition' that he should have the money returned in thirty months, should he give six months notice prior to the expiration of that term, Mr. 'MIAs assented to the proposal, and not only the Committee of the Canal Company, hut the General Assembly of Proprietois concurred with it. Mr. Burdon, not obtaining his money accord- it to the. engagement, brought his aCtion against the members of the Company to whom he- paid, it, and, under his Lordship's direction, was non-suited. Notwithstanding these engagements, both of the Committee and of the General Assvmhly; he was' told that his special conditions Were of oo value, and that he must come in pan passu with the rest of the creditors. A doubt might arise; 11 an action of debt could be supported against a Corporation. It a Corporation be indebted for money received, that in some legal way it could be re covered from, there could be no doubt. By the Act to which he had referred, the CoMpany was empowered , to give a particular form of security hut the money not being advanced, in this initance, on these terms, it was a dry unqualified debt o for whieli it must be reSponsibie. 'The receipt was now read by Mr. LowToN, dated the tith of November. 1. R 051„ which '.was in these words—" Received of Alexander Burdon, Esq. the suns of Five Thousand Six Hundred Pounds on . account of the Ashby de la,Zouch Corporation, for which the Committee propose to the General As sembly to giVe him a security on mortgage of the toll; with .an optional advantage agreeable to an 'H order on their books this day, and to be paid five .per cent. interest until such security be given." Mr. Mammock and Mr. Pinnock, Clerks of the Institution, stated, that the money had been re ceived, and about 30901. had been repaid. After much interlocutory matter, with the Con sent of Mr. GA allow, CQUllsel tar the Corpdra tion, it wits determined that a verdid should be taken for 26001. and interest, that .5001. should be repaid in three 'Months, and that the remainder should be discharged by, instalments at one and two years. 77 • SAMUEL. THOMPSON V. RICHARD WILLINOTON. The Plaintiff was a inerehant ii the East . Indies, and, since his return to this Conntr y ,',..has engaged a part of his capital in commercial speculations in articles principally of Oriental produce. The I:)c fendant is a Cotton:- Avila, or Broker, .at Man chester. Mr.,GAttnow, for the Plaintiff, stated; that his Client's demand extended to two distinct items : • the sum of 2031. 6s. 2d. being the balance of an 2C. Count current;. and 2091. Bs. gl.for a loss arising on' Surat cotton, under circumstances he should plain :--4\linetp.one pounds five shillings had bean paid illicit:mut by the Defendant, which' would,' of course, be dedu6ted front the ' verdiet • The Plaintiffbad sent tb the Defendant between' fifty and' sixty baga of Sutat cotton,'• to be sold by the latter, at Manchester, for account of the fbrmer. -On the - 40th 'of 'November, 1805, an offer was made of I4d. per lb. for these cottons, by Mr. Roberts, through' the medium of Mr. Hughes, the • Agent of the Defendant. The condition was, that time should be given to the Defendant to 'vrite to his principal, the Plaintiff, and , if the Plain tiff, by return of post, acceded to the' offer, the bar gain:.*ras concluded. The Defendant negleaed'i to write on the daY of the proposal, and it' was sin gular, that although he wrote on the following day,he never mentioneathe 'offer to Mr.Roberts,but'observ ed to the Plaintiff, that his cotton might obtain, t33d.. or 14d. if the market should not decline. - The Plain tiff would gladly embrace the , proposition, had it been known to him ; and Mr. Roberts considered himself to , be bound, until the course of post which he could receive the Piaintitrs'determmation, should haveelapsed. 'Such Wert -the faas :which ,the Learned Co - tinsel would establish beyond the possibility of contradiction, if his instructions were cone& :; .and if he were So far sttecesglid, Client would be entitled to the verdil of the Jury. Mr. Martin, the Clerk of the Plaintiff, 'deposed to the cotton bent to the Defendant for sale: Mr. Roberts, jun. gave testinidny to the offer he matte to Mr. Hughes, to impart to the Defendant, for account of his uncle, Mr. Richard Roberts, with the condition of waiting the return , of post, as stated in the opening. Being questioned by his Lordship . as to the agency of Hughes, the wit ness said, that, ite und,erstood he a&ed for the De fendant, and had transaaed businos with him se veral times, . . . .

The offer of Roberts involved the principal'quesiion in the catise. This proposal was made'.-to Ilughes, • and thefe was W.) evidence that Hughes atted in the capacity of agent; excepting the testimony of Roberts, who said that he had 'seen- fitt,ghes transactingbusiness for the Defendant, !but to u. hat extent, and under wlot authority, he did, not know.. Tho only way in which he could be informed can this subjed was; , by dire & inforination from the Defendant hanself; and it did not•appear that he had any interceurse with the Defendant. It was clear, that in point of ta6t, Hughea had never communicated to the Defendant the proposal of Itoberts, and therefore, personally at least,- the Defendant was guilty of.ne negle6t. The truth was, that Hugheawas no agent for the Defend ant; he was merely an Occasionalassistant,-as appeared ' .by the contents of the let ters w hich IlUghes had signed in the harne of the Defendant. • There was another' consideration of importance : his Lordship would tell the Gentlemen of t l,c Jury, that the offer of Roberts was not bindiq Upon lino until the terms were ac' celed to by tie priujpal. . Lord Et4,F,oao;l'ou'oft said, that if the party tbr-' bore to sell in' the interval, it was a good constdera- • tiro, and would take it out of the nuduni pael6n. The ATTORNEY GO,NERAt. replied, that he should . think the.contraet would be %oid by the statute of frauds. Lord ELLitt4aonoucu resumed, that this Was not" a 8416, but a conditional Sale it was, however, a t : ;:ke point, and.his LOrdship thOtt&h,t, right to intimate' to The Learned Counsel the iMpression of his diind: - It was not a sale, but a contract for , a sale, and tliere was a. consideration for. the': forbear:o:e.
