ISITTOWS HETORL LORD KENYOIV AND A SPECIAL JIIR"1", A.T GUILDHALL, LONDON. MANN T . SKIFVNtR. 1 MIS was an Anion for Money had and received by the Defendant for the Plaintiff; which, after an opening by Mr. ER.SKI NE for the Plaintiff, and a short statement by Mr. GIB ES on behalf of the De fendant, was agreed to he turned into a Special Case-, for Argument before the- Court of King's tench, on the following Statement of Fans : " That a Mr. Heath, in Jamaica, for a valuable consideration, paid to him by Mr. Allen,, as the Agent of the Plaintiff, and a Mr. Leonard Parkin son, drew Bills on Messrs. Atherton and Ashley, which they refused to accept, not having Funds, which Bills were returned protested to the Island of Jamaica ; but Mr. Parkinson's" proportion was afterwards paid. Upon the return of the Bills, Heath, the Drawer, shipped Sugars in the Hero, 25 tierces of which, comprehended in the Bill of Lading [setting forth the Bill of Lading with the Indorsement], and delivered the same to Mr. Allen for the Plaintiff (Mann), and Mr. Parkinson. Mr. Allen specially indorsed them over, and transmitted the same to Mr. Parkinson, for the use of himself and Mann. Mr. Parkinson's Bills having been paid by Atherton and Ashley, he, by the desire of Allen, delivered the Bill of Lading to the Plaintiff, Man. Before the Sugars were shipped, Heath gave advice (setting it forth) to Messrs. Atherton and Ashley, who gave orders of Insurance (setting it ,forth),to the Defendant. The Ship sailed, and was lost on the 12th of February, 18os. Mr. Mann, after the loss, possessed of the Bill of Lading, tendered the Premium of Insurance to the Detendant, and demanded the Policy ; and having afterwards discovered that the Under-writers had paid the money, demanded the money. At the time of the shipment of the Sugar by Heath, Heath was the debtor of Atherton and Ashley, to a larger amount than the sum insured, and the Defendant was the creditor of Atherton and Ashley to more than the amount of the same Insurance before, and at the time he effected the Policy (stating it), which debt remains unsatisfied. On the Ist of June, 18oz, Atherton and Ashley stopped payment." Lord KENYON said, that he certainly had a pretty strong opinion on this case ; but, however, he should pursue the usual course, by reserving it for argument before the Court.

This was An AClion of Troyer, to recover the value of five Boxes of Cambric, of which the fol lowing is a short account : A Merchant,' at Antwerp, sent these Cambrics to the Plaintiffs, _ above the value of zoool. on the credit of which, the Plaintiffs advanced between eight and nine hundred pounds. They came into the hands of the Defendants, for the purpose of their being taken to market fn. sale, by the consent of the Plaintiffs, on the condition that the property they advanced upon them, :;hould be secured ; bat on no other did they suffer these goods to go out of their hands ; of which the Plaintiffs fully apprized the Defendants before they did deliver up the goods, stating, that the Defendants might dispose of them, subject to the payment of their demand, &c. The Defence was that the Defendants were Mer chants here, in the habit of corresponding with the Plaintiffs, and with the Owner of the gOods; 'that they had to apply for a licence here, without which these cambrics could not have 'been imported, but that the claim which the Plaintiffs made for,.their sum of Soot. was of A. doubtful nature. It was admitted that the Plaintiff's might, in this Case, have trans mitted these goods by letters upon certain terms, but it' w:,. contended, that ,it was, not correft to say that they had a Lien on such goods, so trans mitted, because a Lien was that- power which a person had over a thing that xi , "as in his hands : but he Might nevertheless have an , eq uitable claim upon it. The ATTORNEY GENERAL was proceeding to contend that the Defendants. were not bound to de liver up, or answer for the value of these goods in this case, when Lorci:Ktrowx said it was dangerdus that this definition of a Lien should go forth. He tookit that a Lien was riot necessarily confined to the posses. sion of goods.=lt was a faulty expression s from Which much mischief might arise—he took it that a specific Lien might be on goods that were not in the.possession of the Party who had that Lien.— From confining Lien to goods in possession of the Party, nitich false reasoning and false conclusion had been used and drawn. The Plaintiffs hire had pos. session of these goods ; they stated the terms on which, and on which only, they would allow the Defendants to possess them • they had a right to state - what terms they pleased before they parted from these goods to the Defendants: The Defend ants had-no right to dispute the propriety of these terms—as between the Plaintiffs and the Owrier of the goods, the terms which the Plaintiffs imposed before they delivered them up, might be subjea of litigation, but the Defendants in this Adiori, had 'no right to say the terms were improper: If there , was any impropriety in the claim the-Plaintiffs made in this ease,: why did not the Party file a Bill of Inter , pleader ? Here the Plaintiffs came into pos. session of the goods, and they prescribed to the Defendants the terms on which they delivered'the goods up to them. What tight had the Defendants to say to the Plaintiffs,--we will dispute your de mand against the Owner of the goods ? They had no tight—the case was iiexfettly clear—his Lordship thought that interess i todgbt to be added to the sum for which this Adioovas brought, which sum w.'s 8731. 7s: tad.

COURT OF COMMON FLtlig, DEC. 22. BEFORE LORD ALVANI.EY AND A SPECIAL JURY. MOUK ,AND OTHERS against ABEL. . THIS was an aftion to recover 2001. the amount of a Policy of Insurance on the cargo of the ship Juliana Maria, from Bengal, by the Cape of Good Hope, to Copenhagen, the vessel and goods being, warranted Danish property. 'The vessel was cap tured by a French Privateer in Odober, 1797, car. ried into Nantz, and there condemned by the Tri bunal of. Commerce. It was.admitted that the vessel took in its lad- , ing at Calcutta, as appeared by the bill Of lading, and sailed from thence, and that the goods remained on board until the vessel was captured by the Enemy. • M. Serjeant VAtiCHAN on behalf of the De fetult, took an objedion to the aetion, 'contend ing, that the voyage was illegal. By the -Navi gaticl% At of the rzth Charles IL it was provided, • that no goods should be imported to, or exported from, any Port in His Majesty's dominions, unless in such vessels as were manned by British Seamen, or were British built. The vessel in question was Danish, manned by foreign Seamen, and sailed from Calcutta, a British Port. The voyage, therefore, being illegal, the Policy was of course void. - Lord ALVANLEY being of opinion that the ob- jedi,on precluded the Plaintiffs from recovering on the Policy, Mr. Serjeant SH FrnERD, on behalf of the Plain tiff's contended, that they were entitled to recover the premium, being 2.11., no fraud whatever appearing in the voyage, or in their condua. A verdid was taken for 211., subjed to the opinion of the Court, whether such a verdiCt was legal ; if not, a nonsuit to be entered instead. . , In another Insurance cause i ,where the vessel was insured as neutral, but captured' by a French Pri-vtti tett., and condemned by the Tribunal of Commerce at Nantz, as lawful priZe, which condemnation was afterwards confirmed by the. Tribunal of Cassa tion at Paris, a cast was reserved for the opinion of the Court, whether the condemnation of a fo`- reign Court was itself conclusive evidence that the vessel was not neutral.

This aaion, the trial of which consumed a large portion of the time of the Court, was hrOnght agair,st - the Owner of . a vessel called the—Thils borough, employed in the Southern Whale. Fishery, to reover a six hundredth share of the net proceeds of the ,-argo, which was claimed by the Plaintiff as k bainan an board the s,iitti,c,ss.el. It appeared chat the Plaintiff had been taken on board at Port Jackson, in New South Wales, and had signed certain articles; to which the rest of the crew had agreed, by which each person on board was to receive a certain share of the net proceeds of the according as the same should be sold by the owners. The Plaintiff, not being a Seaman, was to have a third of a Seaman's pay, as it was called, being a six hundredth share, which, after the net proceeds of the cargo had been proved, Was ad mitted to be 121. gs. Bd. A set-off was given in evidence on the part of the Defendant, consisting of slops furnished to the Plaintiff, sick quarters, hospital money, .'and other articles, amounting to upwards of 161., .which bet ing proved to the satisfattion ,of the Jury, they found a verdiet for the Defendant.
