This was au action by which the p) atttquey at law, sou;.;ht to recover damages rrom the defendant, the Judge of the gicclesaistic.:ol Court, fora sentence of excommunication passed on him w -. t.'out reasonable cause. The son of the plaintiff, a minor having been cited by his wits' before the Ecclesiastical Court, rtho ‘visbed to oh.:. tain a divorce. it tras intimated to the phintiff that he must apppear and become guardian to his. sort ad Went. 'lnc plahltitf refused to do SQ, and filed an affidavit, protesting againt the right of the Comt to cornpel,him. •' The Court,. however, declared him duly appointed, and aTterwards cx commenieated him for:not ti-Ilting on himself the office. The plantiff wag in consequence thrown into prison and reduced't Q g re a t distress, and it was not till the e:xpiration of tin Months front the: "passing of the sentence, that lie was restored: to his tights in society hy the ftassing of an order of absolution. The distressed state of the:plaintiff having been ropresente-d . to the 'defendant by - ;!,Ir. Espinasse,i.

The plaintiiir received. this Pecuniary-relief :is a matter of liberality on the part of Sir William, and not as due to him. Sir NV. Scott tailing to patronise the plaintik to the extent of his expectations, and par ticularly having failed to procure for him the sit h a-- tion of I;ir e slial of the, Admiralty Court, he brought the. present action. A •intuber of wit, nesses ,of respectability, ,Connected, with the Ec— 'clesiastical Court, ivt re adduced to prove the, prac tice of that Court: Nicholl, among others, swore to his belief that tic Decree was correct, and tigreeable to the pracfice:of the Ecclesiastical Court. Lord EtLENF3OROUGII regretted that great men 'were not always' masters .of theinselves; as must have been the MSC with ,the present defendant, when heyaVe money to the plaintiff. In his Lord , ship's opinion, the only question here was, had: the Ecchisiasti,74 Coin t a right to call on the fa . ther of a defendant, 'Who was a minor to become guardian ad liMn to his sou ? .Now, considering that this was an office that could be attended with no risk, as theonly expence to be incurred'was the' first appearanpe which Might be, made perStinally, and that great inconvenience and delay in the exercise of the administration of ju,stie.e iu that Court must take place; if the Court had no such potier while, at the 'same time, there seemed, nothing in the existence 'of -such a right inconsistent with the practice of .the courts of common law, with which they were more . iamiliar ;' his Lordship was of opinion that the charge in the present claration was.notstipported.. The Jury retired, however, and after an 'Absence of nearly an hour, returned - with a verdict for the plaintiff---Oamages 'lO shillings. • The'Jnry, on returning their verdict, accom panied it with 'the following declaration itt writ :-7-" The Jury beg leave to state to your Lordship and the Coiirt, that in this their verdict they do not mean to attach, the slOitest impeach meat on the iiiost respectable 'character of Sir Wil- Schtt.Y After disposing of some undefended causes, the sittings adjourned to the 12th of April. the Cense of WA Fvni TAyLi - ,!i, an applica tion Was on Saturday made to the Loan CHAN cELLoit for' ord9r to rcmove . the 'defendant from the managetnent of the tiper:t Ilguse, Which 'his - LordAtip, after along tj'4tillteilt,„refused, At the A...iies at I fertford, t Thursday, , John Nr.s.ow was found guilty of a - bilrglary, and :steal, ing trvooti, Btc.in the honse of Nan Osmond; at Sheriley.
