SPURRIEV.AND OTHERS V. HODGSON. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN Stated - the plaintiffle case.... The tion, he said, was brought by the plaintiffs, who are merchants, on a policy of insurance at Poole f or 200/., effected on the cargo of -the schooner Chance, from. St. John's, Newfoundland, to Placentia Bay, in the same island. The defence, he under stood, would'be,, that the plaintiff had some 'information of a gale of wind having rn taken place after the s a ilin g o f t h e vesse l , which he did not,comunicate to the defendant at the timenf effecting the insurance. But it would be . proved that the fact was fully known to the defendant, an account - of the gale being posted at, Lloyd's,. and.piade the subject of conversation at the time of the insurance between the defendant's agent and the from and the.premium of in surance ra i s ed i n consequence 255. per cent.. to 60s. per cent. - Mr, Wilkinson, - an insurance- broker, proved the execution - of the policy by the defendant's agent on his account : the premium in the policy was OOS. per cent., the usual premium was 255. per tent l _ _ Mr. Waller, a merchant of St. John's, Newfoundland, proved that he shipped ths,goods that were the subject of insurance on board the schooner Chance, on account of the plaintiff's, in the beginning of October, and that.she sailed for Placentia Bay on the I 1 th of October,, with a fair wind, which became contrary the next - day: - 11e.bitd heard that the ship and cargo were That. 'The value of the goods he shipped for the plaintiff's was OW.— He advised the plaintiffs of havingmade the shipments on the 16tb . of October. The case for the plaintiff closed here. IVlA , Borjeani PELb aehlreased the. Jury for the defendant. The plaintiffs, he said, had concealed tt material fact from the defendant at the time of effecting the insurance. A letter was at that time shewn to the defendant by the plaintiffs' insurance . - broker, in which the plaintiff's stated, "that the Chance had sailed from the St. John's on the 1 lah of October, four days before the gale came on, and that they hoped she had reached Placentia. Bay in safety, as 48 hours of any thing liite a favour able wind would be sufficient for the voyage ;" and they con cealed from the defendant the information received from Mr. Walter of St. John's, who, in his letter to them of the 15th of October, stated, " that the Chance had sailed on the 11th, and had 12 hours of favourable wind, but after that a gale to the South, so that he doubted her having arrived," The Learned Serjeant contended that this information ought to have ' been given to the defendant, who would then have, known the danger of the risk it was proposed to hint to insure; and as that information was in the plaintiffs _possession aod withheld, the defendant could not be bound by the contract. - Mr. Wilkinson, the insurance -broker, by whom the insurance was effected, proved th a t a l etter was received from the plain. tiff, dated Nov. 2, in which the/ mentioned having received advice from St. John's of the s h i p ment that was the sub j ect of the action, and made inquiry respecting the premium at which it might be insured; in consequence of which, the wit. ness went to Lloyd's, and made the Inquiry of the defendant's agent, saying', he supposed the premium would be about 20s. percent. The defendant's agent booted at hint with surprise, and asked him whether he had been at the bottoin >of the room, and seen the intelligence that was received of a gale of wind that had taken place at Newfoundand on the 15th of Oc tober, which stated that several vessels had been lost—one a schooner. The defendant's agent said, if the witness would warrant the Chance safe from that gale, he would insure for 255, per cent. ; but if not, he must have 603. ; observing, that as a schooner was lost, it might be the Chance. Witness wrote the plaintiffs an account of this conversation, and they wrote the letter of the sth of November, which had been quoted by Mr. Serjeant Pell, desiring the insurance to be effected for 2001. That part of the letter which had been read by Mr. Serjeant Pell, had been copied and shewn to the defendant's agent, at the time of effecting the insurance. Mr. Serjeant VAvrotraar replied, and contended, that the de, Pendant had full notice of the gale, by the intelligence received at Lloyd's ; and that it was evident the plaintiffs did suppose the vessel had arrived in safety, as they only in'iured for 2001., although the cargo was worth 090/., standing their own insurers for much the greater part.; therefore there could be no fraud in tended. The Crime Jusvecr, in charging the Jury, said that whe ther fraud was intended by the plaintiffs at the time of making the insurance, was not the question ; but wheth er t h ey had with. held any materi a l information—any such information as would probably have prevented the defendant front insuring, either at all, or on the terms be had done. It was essential to the validity of such contracts, that there should be perfect good faith on the part of the person insuring. In the plaintiffs letter of the sth of Nov. to their insurance -broker, in which they desired the insurance to be effected, they made no mention of the parti. cidars respecting the sailing of' the vessel, and the state of the wind afterwards, that were contained in the letter of the 15th of October, which they had received froM the correspond.. ent in St. John's. If that letter contained any thing material to the risk, it ought to have been communicated ' and, as it teas not, the defendant was ent i t l e d to a verdict. If it did not contain any thing material, they would find for the plaintiff. The Jury, after a short cons ultation, returned a verdict fur ' he tide ndant. SHERIFF'S COURT, RED Ltosr-sQuattE, SATURDAY. ASSIAULT.—onstE, GENT., V. MEREDITH, ESQ. Mr. PHILLPS appeared for the plaintiff in this case. lie stated that 41Ir. James B. Orme was the plaintiff, and Joshua Paul Meredith, Esq. the defendant. It was an action of as. sault, and this was the second time it had been brought into that room. The person upon whom the outrage had been perpetrated sat by his side; he was a Geutleman of a re spectable profession, which he w as following with industry and with honour. He was a Conveyancer. The person by whom the outrage had been perpetrated was a Gentleman too; upon his own showing he was a person possessed of 3or 4000/. a. ear. 3lr. Orme became acquainted with this Joshua Paul Meredith in the way of his business. It hap petted that, on th e d a y w h en this assault was committed, he was invited to dine with him at his house in Thornhaugh.street. They sat together at the same table —they drank together— they pledged each other—and, to all appearance, the de fendant conducted himself as a friend and a gentleman ; but what would the Jury say when they were told, (after an evening thus spent in apparent harmony and conviviality, during which not o ne wor d passed which was calculated to excite a passionate feeling) that wh en the defendant got up to show the plaintiff t o the door —as he was walking away, wishing him that rest which te of frids demane, he struck him a terrific blow on h the courtesy back of the head whic d h d felled hint to the ground, and then endeavoured to preelpitatehim over the bannisters of a well staircase. This case, he had already said, had come into this Court before ; and the Jury on that occasion had assessed the'damages at 2501., and yet Mr. 11Icredith had declared that he never committed the assault. Mr. PHILLIPS then proceeded to call witnesses. Mr. WALFORD addressed the Jury in behalf of the de. fendant. The UNDER StkEittEr having summed up the evidence, the Jury, after a quarter of an hour's deliberation, .assessed the damages at Two Hundred and Fifty Pounds. ASSIZE I NTELLIG ENCE.

This wax an action of ejectment brought by Dr. Tatham, Principal of Lincoln College, in the University of Oxford, against the Rev. Bartley Lee, to recover possession of the parish church, churchyard, and parsonage house of the parish of Combo, in this county. The following eiretimsmnees gave rise to the present action About three years ago, ilr.

Mr. Lee continued to exercise his clerical functions ; but at last having given some offence to Dr. T at h am , h e rece i ve d a. notice of dismissal. This he refused to obey, alleging that he mild not be thus summarily discharged, but that an Appeal ought previously to be made to the Bishop of the diocese. The question, therefore for trial was, whethe r the Principal of Lin. coin College had t he power at any time, and at his mere plea. sure, to dismiss the curate of Combe. - douthent ar y ev id ence To 11 1)(. 0 1 ffi vve c r e o °l3 f c ti trr le a P te ar w t a o s r h th eld e To prove the existence of th s a u t el th t was lesse r es ut o i f n, th w e h p ic l u ain vi tn abl it ish gr ed eat mass e ad nutting et vcduntatern reetoris.

The Jury, under the direction of the Learned Serjeant, found a verdict for the plaintiff for all the - premises upon the demise laid in the college ; but leave was given ..to the de. fondant to move to reduce the verdict to the church and church. yard only, on the operation of the recent statute. THE KING, ON THE paosr.curtog OE' THE. REV. DR. TA. TIIA AGAINST LORD ettant.EstartlitClllLL) TILE REV. BARTLEY LEE, AND OTHERS. This indictment had its originin the circumstances which led to the trial of the last cause. It charged Lord Charles Churchill; Mr. Lee the curate, the churchwarden Mr. Ben t i mai the son of a respectable farmer named Iluilson, and twenty labourers, who, with one exception, were parishioners of Combe, with a riot and assault, in the clitirch‘yard, on Sun. day the 29th of September last. There was a countcharging a riotonly ; a count charging an assault on a constable named Austin, in the execution of his duty ; and a count charging an assault on four other individuals. Al the question of right was disp?sed of in the former cause, it was thought this would not be tried, but the prosecutor insisted on a concession, to which the defendants refused to submitiand in Spite Of a t rig 11 intimation from the Bench, after the ease had. been Partly de veloped, proceeded to the end. It appeared on th e evidence' of Dr.. Tatham, and of three per. 1104 i who had acted on hiabehitlf, that 011 the:illondayor Tues day previous to the 29thkof September, - be wile iwasent when 41i. :colons were given to police:officers of Oxford to pu K e et t (onrbe for the p ur p ose o f t aki ng possession' of, the church,. in which Mr. Lee had hitherto perfonnetl , the dude*. on Thurs.: day, these men, 'five in.number f :went to_ Combe, broke •opeii, the lock of the church, 'obtained possession, and directed a smith to put fresh locks on the doors. One man, named Stoeve, was left in the church on Saturday night, " to protect it from depredation and danger." Early on gutiday morning, crowds began to assemble in the church-yard, which increased as the hour approached for performing divine service. Dr. Tatham had given no notice to Mr. Lee of his intention to visit cite church, and to perform the duty, but the parishioners appeared to be aware of his design. T. assist Dr. Tatham, the gamekeeper s of the Duke of Marlborough, some farmers of the neighbour hood, and the men from Oxford, assembled in the morning, ;did some of them breakfasted at the house belonging to the Lector,, in the village. Between 9 and 10 Dr. Tatham himself ap peared, dressed in his canonical habits, and attended by Air. Roberson his solicitor, and two of Mr. Roberson's sons, who are exhibitioners of Lincoln College. He attetnpted lira to get into the church by the ehaueal e but the mob cryttsg out, '" No Tat ham," "Lee for ever !" deterred him, anti he returned to his house alarmed, but without receiving personal injury. SoMe of his own party had obtained possession or the other door by the porch, and he now attempted' to obtain entrance by this til rectiop, ilee l / 4 however,. he saw n mob, among whom were some of the Inferior defendants, puilUter out those who were guarding the door for him, which was tinally effect. ed ; —and he again, after admonishing the , people to behave peaceable, retired to his house. While this scene was passing, Mr. Lee, the curate, who was also habited in his sup ice was walking up and down the church-path, in company with the defendant, Lord Charles Churchill, and Mr., Lee, a solicitor, of Ducklington. Ile said nothing then, but rendered assistance to one of the adverse party who had been thrown ower a grave stone, and, on approaching the door, desired that it mi g h t b e opened, and ordered that these men should he remoYed who were preventing hint from performing the service. Mr. Bumpas, the Churchwarden, attempting to open the door with a key, but it proved to be locked inside ; and Timothy Slingo, another defendant, broke it open with a crow-bar. Mr. Lee, Lord Charles Churchill, and the successful party, then entered the church, and Air. Lee performed the service • Dr. Tatham retiring without further contention. It appeared that Lord Churchill did not interfere actively at all ; but one of the witnesses said that he called out " Do your duty," while the friends of Mr. Lee were expelling their ad /vagaries front the porch ; and another, that he exelahned, " Rush on, do your duty—pull them out—stick to your Cu. rate." Several of the defendants were not named at all by the witnesses, according to whose testimony there were 400 or NO persons collected. Lord Churchill, Mr. Lee, Mr. Bumpas, and Mr. Hudson defended separately front the other defendants. The Counsel engaged severally addressed the Jury for their clients, but called no witnesses. The Learned Serjeant expressed his deep regret at the whole proceeding ; and left the Jury to say whether' any riot was coinmitted, and, if so, who were concerned in its progress.— Ile thought they must, at all events, acquit the defendants on the count for assaulting; Austin in the execution of his duty, as he was dearly not performing his duty at the time when he complained of violence. The Jury retired for three quarters of an hour, and, on, their return into Court, found Timothy Slingo, Edward Col. let, and James Harris, jun., three of the labouring men, guilty on the second count, charging a riot merely ; and tic. .quitted Lord Churchill, Mr. Leo, and all the ether deftuidants. The trial lasted till half past °nein the morning. lIINITFOrIDSHIRE LENT ASSIZES, 111Anot 7. CIVIL SIDE. • BEFORE THE LORD CHIEF BAROI4 RICHARDS. LIBEL.--nussr.u. V. FOWLER.

In some of these latter chsrges Green and Turver were implicated. To one of the charges of burglary, and one of sheep-stealing, .Brace and Barby pleaded. Guilty. On the' others they took their trials with Green and Turvey.

This was an action of trespass for entering upon a farm call. ed Privy Farm, in the possession of the plaintiff, and seizing a large quantity of farming stock, his property. This was the second trial of the same cause of . action. .At the.last Summer Assizes the plaintiff had a verdict, and in Ililary Term a new trial was awarded. 'l'he plaintiff claimed the property in question under a bill of sale, ex,e.cttted to hint by a 141r.-'rlionias Archer, lessee of Lord John Townsliend, of Priory Farm, near:Hertford. Archer,had become a hank; rapt, and his assignees, took possession of the , fanning stock• in. question under the commission ;. and the question was, whether the. plaintiff had a right to . the, proprrtt under the bill. of sale to him so as to defeat the..title of ;the assignees. A new trial had been granted on the ,ground that the ,c whether the bankrupt, was in the visible, ownershipandposses.. sion of the .property at the time :of the seizure., within ,the ing of the Statute of JAIIMS,•had not on the former occasion distinctly.left to the J my. .

Entrott—For the instruction of ,your Correspondent Iperamus,-1 beg leave to state that the infallibility of) the Pope.as supreme head of the Roman Catholic Church, very far from being, a point insisted upon by any Member or that I.Thurch, is one that is never admitted as port of his belief. What the Roman Catholic believei is, that the decisions of a Council ) canonically constituted, and freely deliberating, and deckl ing, are those of truth itself; and this belief is founded upon the promises that Christ made to his church that the gates of hell should never' prevail against, her. Bat a convincing proof that the Catholic Church never admitted the infalli bility of the Pori!, is that some have beensen sured, and even exposed, by Cottheils of the Church. The Pope is considered by Roman Catholics as a descendant and representativo of St. Peter in the See of Rome, for the same reason that the present Archbishop of Canterbury considers himself, and is considered by Protestants, as the descendant and rep resentat i ve o f S t. Augustine, viz., because he is the last of a series of Prelates that have successively filled that See from its first erection to the preseutday. > Ignoramus says that he believes a long period elapsed between the death of St. Peter and the first appearence of the Pope, As I know neither how many weeks, he may consider as a long period, nor what he means by (he first apearance of the Pope, 1 must, of ne cessity, leave that part of Ins remarks unanswer ed. lam also, though with considerable reluc tance, compelled to pass over the hisdorical part of his epistle, for the very simple reason that I do not know what he means. He seems to imply that the authority of the Papal See was esta blished by the Emperor of Germany. Hut I imagine that by consulting the records of History with a little more attention, he will find that Popes, or Bishops of Rome, existed some centu ries before the dignity of Emperor of Germany was so much as thought of. The same historical inaccuracy, or confusion, exists in what he re lates concerning the schism of the west, but as a refutation of his positions would extend far beyond the limits of a letter, I must pass them , over unnoticed. That the interference of the Popes in the tem poral concern of Sovereigns has been, in many instances, productive of considerable mischief, is a fact which no one can deny ; and Tarn equally ready to admit that such interference is pregnant with danger to a State. But no Roman Cathodic believes that the Pope has the right of any such interference. The ignorance and barbarity Which so universally prevailed durii u what has been very properly called the dark ages, no doubt enabled the clergy, who a.lones were pos sessed of learning, to assume no inconsiderable share of authority,,and thus materially tend e d to establish the amazing temporal power which the Popes once possessed ; but so unnatural A state of timings gradually gave %%ay as civilizati on a n d knowledge increased, without such change hay., ingi however, in the least a I feted the 11..ornun CO' tbolic Creed., The Popes thernselves have aban. .cloned a power which they had no right to pos., sees; and as we do not believe them infallible, we cannot admit with Ignoramus that this change in 'their political conduct has the least to do with the question. It is most true that the Roman Catholic Church has thought fit .to order that the sacrament of the Eucharist should now be given to the laity under only one species ; but however sacred we may consider this act, we cannot perceive that there is any inconsistency in altering the manner of admi. nistering it, nor that any such change of the ori ginal form, militates against the infallibility of the Church ; still less can we admit, that because a Church is infallible in its doctrines, it most - therefore never be wrong in its ceremonial. Surely doctrine and, ceremonial are not both similar ? With respect• to the difference froe make be , tween a PAPIST and a Roman Catholic, l leave the solution of. that question to the . Protestant brethren at Ignoramus, who have bestowed upon us the former Appellation for no other reason, I suppose, than because they thoulit we wor shipped the Pope! Feb. 28. A. P.
