COURT OF KING'S BENCII, MAY 29. DE LIZAAR V. PRATT. 'MIS was an action on a policy of insurance on goods, on board the Nancy,.at and from Rio Janeiro to Lima ; lot:savo red to. be by cap ture. • The plaintiff's case was conducted by• Mr. SCARIXTT, GynxEY, and Mr. Triomf., and the defendant's by Mr. MATIRYAT, M r . PULLER, and Mr. " 5 " BELL * The plaintiff was a merchant' at Rio .I:meiro, and in October, 1820, shipped a cargo of woollens and other English manufac tures to the value of about .10,000/: oa board the Niuicy, for Lima, and gave instructions to his agent in this country to effect insurance. The defendant, an under Writer at 140 yd s. subscribed the policy for 10001. at a preiniuni of five guineas, per ' cent. The'ves se l arrived.. at Pisca, on the, Pacific,' on the hth January, 1021, whe r e the CaPtain was informed that the coast Of Peru was in a state of blockade by the roiotk fleet corn mantled by' AdMiral Lord Cochrane. He dispatched a mes senger to the consignees at Lima, who added him of the danger he was in, and recommended hint to quit Pisea, and sail for some other port for safety, until the vessel could proceed on her destination. After a tedious passage, the vessel arrived in March at St. Bias, where an attempt was made to find a market fur the cargo, but the goods being adapted for a cooler climate, no sales could be effectetl. The Captain then deter ' mined, at all hazards, to return to Rio Janeiro, and in his Vplunge thither. in consequence of a fog, be by mist a k e put i nto ista, then in possession oldie Patriotic party. lie was imme diately seised,: thrown into prison, and the ship and her cargo condemned in the Admiralty Court as Spanish property under colour of the English flag. For the loss thus summed, the present action was brought upon the policy underwritten by the defendant. The defence set up was, first, concealment from th e un d er . writers as to the real character of the goods, which it was said were not English but Spanish; second, a deviation in going to St. Max ; third, negligence on th e p art of the Ckiptain An going into Pisca with a knowledge of the danger he.must encounter, and whereby the property was condemned ; and, fourth, un reasonable delay in the pursuit of his voyage. The. Loan Cuter' JUSTICE intimated his 'opinion that the plaintiff could not recover. If the Jury thought there had been unreasonable delay, or any want of caution on the part of the Captain, in not taking steps to avoid the danger into which ho fell by going to Pisca, under the circumstances of the case, the action was clearly not maintainable. The Jury seemed inclined to decide in favour of the Learned Judge's ruling, and Mr. Searlett elected to be nonsuited. TIES KING D. SAMUEL HAZTSU. This was an indictment charging the defendant with perjury, In an affidavit made to support an application in the Court of King's 13ench for a new trial. The action from which the proceeding arose was brought by Mr...lsaac Shannon, against Abraham Owen and others, assig. tees of Cohen, a bankrupt, to recover th e value of a * vessel, which they had forcibly taken out of Mr. Shannon's possession. Mr. Shannon claimed title to the vessel under a bill or sale from a parson named Phillips, bearing date the 10th of Fe. bruary, 1015 to which two p ersons named Baker and Slow were the subscribing witnessea.; The vessel had been pre. viously assigned to Phillips by Cohen, whoseossignees assert ing that the assignment Was fraudulent and void, seized the, vessel by force. Mr. Shannon brought an action thLP to aecover its value, and succeeded in obtaining a verdlet-mr -7301. at the last Summer-Assizes . ter Essex. At this trial, SS the defendants were unable to prove.the bankruptcy of Cohen, the question of the validity of the sale did notarise, since they failed in making Dot any title in themselves witielreona autho rize:them to interfere with the plaintiff's potseasion. • In the following , Michaelmas term they ma d e app li cat i on f or a new trial, and obtained a rule to show C2US!, In support of this application, an affidavit was mule by Mr. Baxter, -who had been the captain of the vessel, in order to show that the merits of the case were with : th e asiignees. In this affidavit, he stated that he was present at the execution of the billuf sale from Phillips to Shannon, and that George Slow, one of the sub scribing witnesses, w.as not present ; on this allegation the assignment of perjury was foitnded. To prove this statement untrue, George Slow himself, the subscribing witness in question, was first called, who stated that he was.clerk to 111 r. Baker, the broker, who negoeiated the bargain at the time, and at whose house the assignment was executed ; that he was present at the execution; and that he believed the defendant was not present. Mr. Baker, his master, who was the other subscribing 'witness, also stated that Slow was present, and wrote the attestation at the time, and that he believed Baxter Was alisent. The bon 4 CruEr JUSTICE intimated that he did not per. ceive in what Manner the allegation on which pesjury was assigned was material to the result of the application for a new trial. Mr. titrnsr.i., who conducted the preseeutior!, argued that the statement was material, SS. eying an air of fraud to the Whole transacti. which it was necessary for the defendants to impeach. The Lonn CITIE r JUSTICE, however, thought that as no question had been previously'rinsed respecting the execution of the bill of sale, and as the main object of the affidavit was to show that the Previous assignment of the- vessel to Phillips was fraudulent, the matter was not sufficiently connected with the grounds of the application, to be regarded as material to its issue. Mr. GURNEY then declined pressing the case farther. The Jury, under the directions Of the LORD CHIEF J usTict:, found 4 verdict of Not COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 29 ROMISGX V. 'WESTON. Mr. Serjeant VAITGITAII stated, this was an action on the warranty of a horse. The horse bad been the property of a gentleman of fortune, residing near Peterborough, from whom the defendant purchased it about the end of February last; in .the commencement of the ensuing Month, the plaintiff pur. *chased the horse from the defendant, under a warranty, at the .price of fifty guineas. The horse had been rode gently once or twice, and in a very short time proved to be completely unsonnd, having an ossification in the fetlock joint of the off fore ' The purchase and warranty were proved. Mr. Se ell--I saw the horse on the 24th March last, and on examining the outer branch of the suspensary ligament of the (afore leg,. near the fetlock joint, 1 observed a callosity form. stl ; this is a consequence of previous inflammation ; if the in. jury were recent, there would be a general fullness and heat in the whole joint ; this was a chronic diseased 'joint ; the horse was in the same state last week as in March; when the disease is not very extensive, rest would make it appear better, but on the first exertion in carrying weight, the horse would go l ame again: This disease must have existed before Mr. Hodgson purchased the horse. Cross. examined-4 saw the horse about, ten days after the purchase, and again last week. Horse* are very liable to in. juries in that part by a twist of the foot; still, however, I think the horse was diseased in that joint before the Bth ; if the horse had been led up from. Peterborough without any weight on - his , back, tiie . part would not have been more i njure d ; a little gentle exermeotithout carryifig weight, is often belie.. ficiA to a horse: Mr. Serjeant Pr t. addressed the Jury for the defendant. Three witnesses .proved that they had ridden the horse be• fore the purchase:by the plaintiff, and that he then appeared perfectly sound. 3lr: Edward Coleman, Professor to the Veterinary College, was then called; and said, I first saw the horse on last Illonday; jfound the off fure-leg . enlarged on the outside of the fetlock oint; the enlargement is an increased ossification of that hone extending a little Way up the ligament. It is so obvious, that any person the least acquainted *ids horses mit perceive it; it is tmpossible td soy how long it has existed; it might .have existed for years ; hot on the facts sworn to this day, I think it -could not hay existed when the horse was puteimsed ; the man who shod the horse might not have pereeivett the in. jury, though the inflammation might then have been in exist. rne:N as the smiths attend to nothing but merely putting on the shoe. • . - Cross-examined.--I think the injury mire likely to have a r i sen from a Idow than front a strain ; at the time.of the in jury there must have been tenderness and perhaps lameness apparent. Re-examined—lf the part in that state had been pressed upon, the horse would have' exhibited some symptom of weakness. • Bv the .Itrnor.—l should not have formed a better opinion on tile 24th of Mardi, because it is impossible to state the time required for the progress or a suffocation in every ease . its IT); gress .isby no means regul ar , i t sometimes procee d s with greater an d sometimes With less rapidity. Mr. Justice rArt x Rumbled up. ' • ' The Jury, after a few morneote em m i tri tion, gave a' verdict for the plaintiff—Datnages, 152 t, lo s . fur t h e horse, and 71. 10s. PREROGATIVE coma, lu A y 20. LAWRENCE, ATTORNEY Or THOMAS, AGAINST MAIIRE .I.NO 'BICKNELL. This was the cause of.interest which we have YePllittlfflore than once in different stages of it s p rogr e ss . The issue to be tried was determinable upon the result of a pedigree, which great pains and evences have been necessary , to prepare, the original stock having settled in America. It is perhaps not requisite again to state the line of descent which has been este bliActl, or the relationship in which Mrs. Thomas claims to succeed, as next of kin and representative of the late Peter' Ilarrison, deceased, Sir JOHN NICHOLL, th•da r , pronounce d h er c l a i m to b e well founded, and aniniadvertod at'sonte length on the enormous cos ts to which the parties had been subjected by the oceurrenee7 of a Clerical error. In the original papers upon which the suit h a d proceeded,. the name of Mary Harris was inserter:l'in the place of Elizabeth Harris. Now Alary Harris stood in one line of relation, and Elizabeth Harris in another, to the deceased : the enusequence of which was, that the d.tim of a second cousin had been suffered to swot!, and be prosecuted against that of a first cousin. The mistake was now rectified, and it might be endeavettred to be exposed on the ground of the natural inch. nation which most people had to overstate or to pnt too favour- ably their own case: but if such errors were ever so frequent or so natural, parties must abide by their effbcts ; and the Court not only diinussed the petition which had been brought - in against Mrs. Thomas's claim, but dismissed it with costs, con firming its decree of the fourth session of last.term, and direct.. leg probate to issue in Li days from this sentence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Ovitanist.t..—About six weeks ago„ a young female of very reputable appearance, was brought before the sitting Magi*trate, Mr. Alderman .1..1.

She arrived in London a few days befbre Christmai last, was met by the supposed brother, - who took charge of her trunks and herself, saying he was about to place her with Mrs. Duncan, a lady of respectability in Br u n sw i c k- squa r e . After driving about in a coach for it. great length of time, they alighted where there wag a large :net - may across the road, and a clock project. ing over the street, and they went up a narrow passage, to a house where she h a d b een confined till the morning of the day she was found hear the canal. On the first night of her arrival at the house, they,entlethan gave her supper and vine; and in the morning she disco vere d h e h a d been with her all night, and had effect e d - her rub while she w a s i u a state o f stupefaction.— Ile called Several times afterwards, but she had not seen }inn for some dayS, and understood he had gone to sea previous to ber e9'ecting her escape. The person who bad got possession of her father's property, she stated, was a Alr. Brown; .111ile-end-road. This story was believed, and 'the girl, by di rect i on of Sir C. S. Hunter, w h o was the Magistrate next in rotation, anti was made acquainted 'with the facts, committed her to the care of Mr. Jones ' the constable, who originally h a d h er i n custody, who took her to his own house, from whence she applied, as she said, to 111 r. Brown, who hail received 'her kindly, Tind wished her to remain with him (Jones) till pro. per clothes could be provided for her, when he would send her back Intel the country. Under these circumstances, she re. nutined with the constable's family for four or live. weeks, when she at length disappeared, and on inquiry Mr. Brown neither knew or had ever heard of such a person. To the great surprise,however, of all tho se w h o had taken an in. serest in her ate, she was apprehended last Sunday . evening at another part of the canal, playing off the same trick of at tempting to drown herself, prevented by an officer, and taken to Worship-street, from whence she was sent by the Alegi straws to be taken care of in St. Luke's workhouse, urith:r the idea, from the incohereney of her manner, that she was not in her right mind. Her old friends in the cite heard of the a ff a i r , :and she was in conseq uence b r o ug h t up again yesterday et this office, before Mr. Alderman BRIDGES. • Sir C. S.

She h a d left them for London, about two years since, and the last time they heard of her was in Jule 1822, living in s erv i ce at a Al r . Wright's, No. 9, or 19, flacincester.place. The letter exp resss d the desire of he r friends that she might be sent home, and their willingness to defray any reasonable exnence that might h ave been incurred. • During the reading of that part of the letter which related to the death of her lover, and at every allusionmade to that occurrence, the girl evinced strong symptoms of agitation, event() tears, and it seems to be evident that the fateofn 'Otani bad partly affeeted her intellects. From all inquiries ; however, that have been made respecting her, it appears she is more imposter than maniac. Some months ago she contrived, upon the strength of a similar story, to get het self maintained for three or four weeks - in the family of a constable, in Bunhill.row ; and th oug h. when taken to the spot, she pointedour a house in Shire-lane, aa the place front whence she made her escape, Temple-bar, and.

It is perhaps needless to told; that 11Ir. ItrOwti.knoWs nothing of' the girl, and that she has used.bli name as knowing he wits connected with the Temple coal-mines. After some consultation between Mr. Alderman Be tpoEs, Sir C:'S. HUNTER, and the City Solicitor, there being no very serious offence charged against the girl, end reason to believe that she -was not et all times perfectly same, after a prom ad monition she was directed to be taken care of, till she could be conveyed back to her friends, Bow-ST It E --( Charge of Fraud.)—An application was made to Sir R.

She gave him instructions to take the necessary steps towards forwarding her Mahn, and also produced several doctiments tending to prove the truth of her assertions. He accordingly prepared a written statement of the facts, and took such other measures as the case required, when, itf the mean tinie, the lady hir e d a l arge house, and besides an e x ten si ve assortment of handsotne fur niture, ordered in several expensive articles of jewellery, Watches, &c. referring the tradesmen, who supplied her with the articles, to him for a confirmation o f h er statement, and On the faith of What he told them they gave her credit ; it has, however, been since ascertained that although she Was actually the person she represented herself, .she had no title to her father's prop erty , as t ier mother was atilt living; but, on. the contrary, that it was so disposed of that she would not have a shilling of it. Under these circumstances application was made to the lady to return back her' ill-gotten spoilt but she peremptorily . refused, and within these few days public notice has been given of the furniture to bit sold by auction-- The applicants entered into a long "discussion, contending that the fact of the'principal representation, namely; the right to the property b e i ng false, there was sufficient authority to grant a warrant; but Air.

NATIONAL SOCIETY. Yesterday a most numerous and highly re, spectable meeting of the Members of this Society took place at Central School, in Bahlwin'ssiturdens, Gray's Inn-lane. The Archbishop of CasiTERULTRY in 'the Chair. His Grace entered the room at one o'clock, accompanied by the Bishops of London, Bristol, Chester, Lantlaff, Worcester, Lord Kenyon, Lord Calthorpe, and several Members of the House of Commons. • - . The Rev. Dr. WALM:iLEY, the Secretary, read the Report, which stated that the riuMber of National Schools had; within the last year, increased considerably; and.that 'IMMO British children were now flourishing under the admirable syetem of education introduced by the Society. It added, that the bene. fits diffhted through the various districts by the eserttons of the Superintendents of each establishment were incalculable; but the Fluids were not in a condition on which the Member* could be congratulated. The Treasurer (Mr. WaTsose) then read an account of the state of the Funds, from which it appeared that the Society:had little or no disposable balance in their hands. 1 The Archbishop of Caste eitil USt Y said, that netwithcand, ing the avowed exhaustion of the funds, the Society were not to cease to act for the public. They were getting into debt, it was true; but there was one grand source to which it was his pride to call their attention, and by which they would be en. abled to proceed with vigour and success in the plan of univer sal education. Government had promised to grant 2,000/. a year towards their object.—( Loud applause. )---With such assiet .. mice, they would be likely to encounter every difficulty. Dis Grace then moved, that the Report should be printeci,—Unani , mortsly agreed to. Lord KESCrOX moved the thanks of the Meeting to the' Archbishop of Canterbury; in doing which, he said it would be impertinent in him to attempt to descripe the bentiits which the Institution and the Church received at the hands of that distinguished Prelate. Mr. WILnEItFoRCi, in seconding the motion, said, that the efforts ofehe society were to be great in proportion to the apparent failure of its resources. There was no way whatever of establishing the welfare of Society so permanently as by promoting this National Institution, which he considered to contain the whole stamina of the political and moral establish ments ache country. At a period like the pnesent, the poor should be guarded by an antidote against the moral poison ' which was daily circulating through the mass of the commit pity, anti early principles should be inculcated titian the power. ful basis Of the tThurch of England, the most effectual means of promoting the true religion. It was the practice of those who discountenanced religion to decry old establishnients, by saying that their time of departure was arrived, and that they .must give place to new institutions ; but the sacred institution_ of the Church of .England wouldnever be seen to decline, but to spring with increased vigour from every attack. Lord Cannion PE represented the National Schools PS alt admirable security to the rising generation, and an antidote to that species of corruption which was inftiacd into the lower orders by the abominable activity of those who were now en gaged in undermining a ll ran k s o f t h e - courmunity. , lie stated that the parents of the children educated at the National 8c400ls; were frequently improved by hearing from the lips or th2ir chil. drop le.ssons whick they could not receive through any other, means. Education was now less gradual than it was supposed to be, and reflected blessing,s which were never foreseen. In another view the labours of the So c i e ty were o f great importance. They would secure seeure the regard of the members of the Church of of England to the Church itself,' upon which he, for one, looked with increased veneration. lie concluded by.moving the Thanks to the General Committee. Archdeacon 13t.00 M_V !ELL) (Vicar of Bishopsoto seconded the motion in a Very zppropriate speeCh.

The London Auxiliary *Eon's were an instance of this &et. He begged to call their attention to the state of the county of Essex, which had suffered so muck . from agricultural distress.

Dr. Bell. The Bishop of CU ESTER moved the thanks to Mr. Watson, the treasurer, whose name he said was inseparably united with that of the Society. Another Dignitary of the .Church stated, that a girl, about nine years old, who was eduCated at one of the schools', Inade 4 solemn appeal on her sleath-bed to her parents, who iterein the habit of swearing and neglecting church. The impeehsion upon the parents was such, that from dim moment they whidly alter ed their conduct. . Mr. (Niles, ACP. suggexted that it would be imprudent to depend upon GOVOTTITIWIIt in a case of this nature. .An appeal should, be thought, be made to the public, who, if Govern. nient were resorted to, might not be disposed to 'ranee eon& deuce in the Society, such strange doctrines were new in fashion.

The Eighth Anniversary of this Charitable In stitution was celebrated yesterday at the Albion Tavern, when Sir ROGEIL tinv;star, hart. was in the chair, supported by Lord Viscount Deerhurst, M.P. Colonel Davies, ALP., The objects for which this Charity was founded are already well known, and have been forwarded by mast of the Gentlemen of influence belonging to the county of Worcester. To see the No bility and the principal inhabitants of any county forming them selves into a Society for the assistance of the poorer individuals belonging to that portion of the country, is at once interesting and highly commendable ' and we announce wi t h th e hi g h est satisfaction the success of the Worcestershire Society. The Meeting of last night was not as fully attended as some former 'ones had been, but' the company evinced an unabated desire to promote the interests of the Charity, and the proceedings were highly gratifying to the supporters of the institution..-,. It was announced by the worthy Secretary," Mr. Grave, that four more boys had been apprentictsi by the Society, and that those who had already received the bounty of, the Charity bad proved themselves fully deserving of it.: In the ceurso of the evening the usual loyal toasts were drank, and on Prosperity and perpetuity to the Worcestershire Society," being proposed, it was tirank with acclamation. The intervals between the masts were enlivened by some arousing glees and songs front Messrs. Phillips, Broadhurst, King, -lases, Master Healey, itc and the evening was spent in thentmost convivi ality. The Chairman did not quit the room until a President and Stewards for the next Anniversary had been appointed, and every arrangement had .been made likely to benefit the institution The prospect* ate promising, anti the Mends of Worcestershire may look for a•brilliarit meeting next year.
