A HARD CASE. _ _ _ An application was made by a mail named Lundia for the advice and *lnstance of Sir Rgebard Biruie, under the fol lowing circumstance':— In the year 1812 the British Government sent out en board the merchant ship Bremen certain valuables. as a present to the Emperor of Morocco the vessel was bound from Landon to Tangier., and sailed wader the command of Captain Brew,. On its arrival at Tangiers, Lundin, •ho was a carpenter on board, was seat with the choice articles of vertu from that plate to Fr:, and the Captain infirrineil lint that he would leave his wages with the British Consul at Tangiers fur him to receive ea his retorts from Fe:. Whilst Litadin was on his way to Fez, the Captain sailed on board of another vessel belonging to the same owners fur Cadiz, @ltd . /209W to leave Lamina's wages, which amounted to between thirty and forty pomade, though he bad not for. gotten to charge them to the owners in his account. Os Lunde, arriving iu England be applied to a friend, • gentleman named Neil, for assistance to recover his wages from the Capt•le. Mr. Neil recommended the poor fellow to Mr. Box, a proctor, and upon Loodisi placing 301. in Mr. Neil's hands as a security be became answerable to Mr. Box for his coats in so action which he authorised him to bring in the Admiralty Court against Captain Brown to re cover Lundin's wages. This action in the Admiralty Court has now brew pending so long that Lundin conceived that some bl.me was attached to Mr. Box for not 'akin his cause into Court, and he applied to Mr. Neil to return hint his 301., as he saw no likelihood of the proceeding coming to au issue. Mr. Neil kindly gave Itim 101., and Luudin being distressed he lately applied for the remaining 201., which Mr. Neil refused to give up. Mr. Neil yesterday attended at this office, and stated, that he had acted as the friend of Lundin, being satisfied that be was an filtered man, and became responsible to Mr. Box for his costs in the action upon receiving 301. from Lundin ,• and although he was still re. spunsible to Mr. Box for the costs, which be understood amounted now to 601., yet Lundin wished him to return the 201. he held in his hands us security. He knew Luudin was in great distress, and the documents be had incontestably proved his claim to the wages, but be did out feel inclined to give up the 201. Sir R. Burnie was sorry that the law's delay, or the meth' gence of his proctor, should have produced such distress; he pitied his situation, and would assist him if lie possessed the power, but he was sorry to say that he did nut, and the pour fellow left the office.
