The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved, for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside, and anew trial granted. He stated, that it was an action of trover tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at Guildhall, to recover the value of a quantity of indigo, now lying in the warehouses of the East India Company. The indigo in question was part of the cargo .of Abe ship. Cerberus, bound from Calcutta to. England, which was wrecked of the Cape of Good Hope, but from which the indigo, with other goods, was saved by the exertions of the master and mariners: The captain, acting bona .fide for the benefit of the owners, caused all the property saved to be surveyed and put up to public auction, where the indigo was purchased at the market-price of the commodity in London. I t appeared that the wrappers were wet, but none of them were taken off to ascertain whether the indigo had re ceived injury. Before the arrival of the goods in England, the price had risen, as fairly speculated on by the purchasers ; and in consequence of this rise the owners of the vessel sought, in this action, to maintain that the captain had no authority to sell, and that therefore the purchasers had no right to retain. The Lord Chief Justice was strongly of this opinion, and the Jury confirmed it by their verdict. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL now contended that the cap tain had a right to sell, and that the sale was therefore valid. In general, indeed, a captain was a mere carrier ; but under some circumstances he was compelled to assume the character of supercargo and agent. It might be necessary .for the in terests of the owner, or, where the cargo was insured, of the underwriters, that the captain should have this discretionary power in cases of wreck. There was no difference in principle between this case and that where goods were damaged, or where they were of a perishable nature.; and it would be ab surd to contend that where some small portion, as a single package, for example, was uninjured, the captain was bound to transmit it to his owners. At all events, here was a sale in market overt which transferred the property, even if the cap tain had no right so to sell it ; for it would be most prejudi cial to the interests of commerce if a purchaser, buying goods at the public custom-house from one who had all the appear ance of a general authority to sell, should be liable to have his bargain wrested from him, because, in offering to sale one par ticular lot, the captain had exceeded his powers. The Court, however, were unanimously of opinion that the direction of the Lord Chief Justice was right. A captain might hypothecate the ship and cargo, but beyond this he could not proceed unless there were an absolute necessity for a sale. Incase where the goods were perishable, or where the materials of a vessel wrecked were alone saved, or where it was a sale of part of the cargo which was necessary for the pur poses of the voyage, the character of agent was forced upon him, and he might unquestionably sell. But here the voyage was ended by the wreck, the goods were not perishable, and might and ought to have been transhipped to England. A sale in market overt would, indeed, change the property, but with this one important exception—that it would be of no effect if the purchaser were acquainted with the infirmity of the contract.—The rule was therefore refused. THE KING V. KNATCHEULL, POWELL, AND PARTRIDGE. In the case of these defendants who were convicted of a con spiracy a few days ago at. Guildhall, Mr. Storks applied for a Habeas Corpus to bring up Capt. Charles linatElibull, who is now a prisoner in the Fleet, in order that he might be present on a motion for a new trial, as the rule of practice requires that all the parties found guilty of conspiracy should be personally in Court on such a motion. _ The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE suggested, that as Captain Knatchbull was in prison, his attendande might be dispensed with, and the expence of the writ saved, unless the prosecutors objected. Mr. GURNEY, on the part of the prosecution, intimated that there would be no objection to the course suggested by his Lordship. HARDY V. BOYCE. Mr. Sergeant FRERE moved that the judgment in this case, which was tried at the last assizes for Norfolk, should be ar rested ; or that the damages should be reduced. It was, he said, an action of an entirely novel character. The plaintiffs, who were great iron-masters in Staffordshire, sought to recover damages of the defendants, who were the proprietors of a stage coach in Norfolk, for the injury which they alleged that they had sustained by the illness of one of their travellers, who had been thrown from the defendant's coach, through the negligence of the driver, and who, after languishing two mbnths, died.— They proceeded for the loss of his services, and for the expences of his illness, which they had paid ; and the „Jury gave them 3581. damages, allowing 2581. for medical attendance, and 1001. for the loss of service. The Learned Sergeant contended that the action could not be supported at law, after the death of the servant ; and that if it could be maintained at all, the damages were excessive. The Court granted a rule to show cause. THE APOTHECARIES' COMPANY V. ROBY, Mr. DENMAN moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted in this case, in which it will be re membered that the Apothecaries' Company recovered a penalty under 55 Geo: Mb, c. 194, against the defendant,- a young COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APRIL 27. HERIOT ON THE HORSE SMOLENSKO.-NOVEL AND IMPORTANT CASE. Mr. Serjeant PELL said, that the plaintiff in this case was Nathaniel Garland, Esq., and the defendants Joseph Jekyl and Thomas Cunningham, Esqrs., trustees under the willnf the late Sir Charles Bunbury, Bart. The action was brought by the plaintiff as , Lord of the Manor of Parkhall, Essex, to re cover a considerable gu m of money, the produce of horses sold at Tattersall's, the property of the late Sir Charles Bunbury, in right of his Lordship, as heriots for a copyhold estate, in which Sir Charles had a life interest. The copyhold estate held by the late Sir C. Bunbury was a very small one, and had in consequence of the form of •transmission once addpted be tween one sister and another, been made divisible into four teen separate parts, and the real querstion was, whether thejord of the manor did not thereby, upon the death of the holder's life-interest, become entitled, not to one heriot, according to the original form of the copyhold, but to fourteen, in conse quence of its fourteen subsequent divisibilities. Sir C. Bun bury, it was well known, was a gentleman, who kept up a very large and valuable stud of horses. At the time of his death, he had 22 valuable horses at his grazing farm of Barton, in Suffolk ; and , he had besides a most valuable race-horse, called Smolensk°, who was in the care of a gentleman in the north of England. Smolensko, with 13 other horses, were sold at Tattersall's after the death of Sir Charles ; the racer brought 1,300 guineas, and an action was brought by the Lord of the Manor to recover the produce of that sale, in virtue of his right to the 14 heriots. The Jury found a verdict for the plain tiff, excluding the value of Smolensko ; and his present_appli canon was for a new trial, on the ground that the exclusion of that horse from the amount was against the evidence upon which alone the Jury were bound to decide. In making this application he was perfectly aware that the Court would, from the nature of the claim, extend to him no relief, unless the de mand was clearly imperative in law, and such as no private consideration could evade. The special case now before the Court was, whether or not Smolensko ought, according to the evidence, to have been included for the plaintiffas one of the 14 horses to which he was entitled as heriot. He knew that it was ex tremely hard upon a gentleman who, in ignorance of law, be came possessed of a small copyhold property not worth more than 2001. or 3001., to be subjc.;t, in a claim of heriot, toa demand, exceeding by many hundreds of pounds the whole value of the copyhold in virtue of which the heriot was made. Then to consider the nature of the case. The Jury found a special verdict in these words: " A verdict for the plaintiff' for the pro duce of as many heriots as the Court thought he was entitled to, from the farm of Barton, in Suffolk, because Herries, when he went to look, said he had seen enough there." This Herries was the messenger sent by the Lord of the Manor, after the death of Sir Charles Bunbury, to inquire into his stud. When he went he saw the head groom, who gave him an account of the horses, and he reduced this account to writing in a list, at the head of which was Smolensko, whom the groom told him was, then (and had been for two months before Sir Charles's death) in the care of Dr. Clarke, at Ferry-bridge, in Yorkshire. Herries was then shown twenty-two other horses at Barton ; and after this, he said, "he had seen enough," words which, it was clear, induced the decision of the Jury, but entirely owing to a misapplication of their intended meaning by the messenger. It was important for the Court to bear in mind that the messenger Merely went over to inquire respecting the horses, with the view of ascertaining the nature of the roperty on which the heriot was to fall, and not at the time for the purpose of making any particular claim, and the Lord 'Chief Justice left it for the Jury to say whether, according to that evidence, it was intended the Lord of the Manor should make his claim for heriots upon fourteen out of the twenty two. horses at Barton, or to include in his claim Smolensko, who was then away; and the Jury found, as he (the Learned Serjeant) had mentioned, upon their understanding of the words of the messenger, who, after seeing the twenty-two horses at Barton, said he had seen enough. Ire thought it quite clear that the Jury were in this case actuated by a sense of the amount of the value of Smolensko, and had decided in consequence of the sum, in a manner in which they would not have done in the case of any other species of right. Mr. Justice PAM{ inquired for what purpose did it appear on the trial that Herries went to the farm ? Mr. Justice RICHARLISON—" Did he go to make a particu lar claim of heriot, and did he fix upon any. specific 14 horses ?" Nlr. Serjeant YELL replied in the negative, and said that he merely went to ascertain what hordes were there, preparatory to making the claim of heriot, and he put down the name of Smo lensko at the head of his list. He was, as it were, the fore horse of the team, and the Jury had manifestly acted under a mistake when they supposed he had foregone his claim upon that valuable horse., Mr. Justice BURItOUGH expressed a strong opinion against granting the rule. The LORD Crum' JUSTICE remarked, that the only ques ticn now was, whether there was sufficient apparent reason to suppose a mis-finding of the Jury, to open a re-consideration of the case ? The point was not whether the demand was odious, but if it was attainable at law. The Court, after consulting for a short time, granted Mr. Serjeant PELL a rule to shew cause. CONSISTORY COURT, APRIL 27. THE 3IARQUIS OF DONEGAL AGAINST ELIZABETH MAY, FALSELY STYLED MARCHIONESS OF DONEGAL. In this case, it will be remembered, the Hon. A. Chichester, who had been cited to see proceedings, appeared under protest ; and this day Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON, the Judge, proceeded to de liver his sentence upon this intervening question. Mr. Chi chester, who had been cited, had protested against the citation on two grounds, which principally regarded the practice of tho Court, and had prayed to be dismissed from the suit. The first objection of Mr. Chichester was this—that he was not a princi. , pal in the cause ; but being the nephew only of Lord Donegal, he had been unduly cited ; and it was submitted that there was no precedent in the practice of the Court for constituting him a party to it. The second ground of objection was, that as Mr. Chichester was not competent to have originated this suit, he ought not now to be made a party to it. With respect to the first objection, it might be perfectly true that there was no exact precedent for citing a party who was not a principal to see proceedings ; but it did not therefore follow that this Court had no jurisdiction to do so. In the Court of Chancery it very frequently happened that persons who were not parties in a cause originally, were yet compelled to come in, where the interests of right and equity required their intervention ; but the rule was, that no person could be bound by a decree of that Court, who was not affected by the decision which it came to, in such cases : and this was a matter which had been discussed at consideiable length in " the Duchess of Kingston's" celebrated case. In the argu ment on the case in question, several others were referred to, and among those was the case of " Gertrude Brown." Her husband was stated to have been already a married man ; and it was finally held in that instance, that the interest of another party might be so affected by the nullity of a marriage between the principals in a cause, as to make the other party a prin cipal likewise. With respect to the right and competency of Mr. Chichester to have proceeded originally in the present cause, that, the learned Judge said, was a very serious and delicate question ; and one upon which he thought it unneces sary, and which was indeed of too great moment, to decide incidentally. In.the Duchess of Kingston's cause, " Maynard and Asperne," in-the Commissary Court of Surrey, was also referred to : but that established much the same principle as the preceding case, and on these grounds the Learned Judge de clared he did not think Mr. Chichester's protest could be esta blished. The Court, therefore, overruled the protest, and assigned him to appear absolutely. (The original suit, which is for nullity of marriage, is yetundecided.) A tenant of a gallant Baronet, residing near Bury, lately applied to his landlord to inform him that he could go on no longer, and wished the latter to enter upon the premises and pay , himself for two years' rent which were then due. The landlord insisted that he should not leave his farm ; gave him a receipt in full for his rent ; and reduced it, in future, to 20s. an acre ! Sheweth—That since the establishment of Independent Go vernments in the countries in South America, which were foi merly under the dominion of Spain, an extensive trade has been carried on with them from this country, either directly, or through the medium of other places. That this valuable trade which, with due encouragement and protection, may become of much greater importance, has been interrupted, and (according to the declaration of Mr. Zea, the Minister deputed to the Powers of Europe by the Government of Columbia) is likely to be lost, or subject to serious disadvan tage, unless timely measures be taken by his Majesty's Govern ment, to place the commercial intercourse between the United Kingdom and those countries upon such a footing, as will be conformable to those regulations which they appear to have adopted as the ink of their Government in that respect. That the principle of those regulations appears to be, to admit into their ports the ships and merchandize of nations, which recognise and admit the fags and merchandize of their respective countries. „ That your Memorialists therefore beg to submit for the con sideration of your Lordships, whether, in perfect consistency with the spirit of the Navigation Laws, the letter of them may not be so far relaxed, as to admit vessels belonging to the several newly established countries in South America, to trade, as such, at the several ports of this kingdom, in the same man ner as ships of the United States and Brazil. That unless the ships of those countries be admitted to a par ticipation in that advantage, your memorialists are apprehensive that foreign countries, especially the United States (whose re gulations are governed by the rule adopted by the said newly established Governments) availing themselves 'of the opportu nity which any hesitation on the part of this nation might afford, will secure to themselves most important advantages, at the ex pence of the shipping, commercial, and manufacturing interests of this kingdom. , Your Memorialists therefore entreat, that the subject may engage your Lordship? attention, and that such measures may be timely adopted to secure the advantages of a direct and ex tensive commercial intercourse with the United Kingdom, which are offered in the change of the Government of the countries before mentioned, as to your Lordships shall seem meet and expedient, for extending and improving the com merce of this empire.—And your Memorialists will ever pray.

LORD B The following is stated by a Friend or Lord BYRON to be a true account of the late Affray, erroneously mentioned in the French Papers : ‘‘ On the 24th of March last, as Lord BYRON, with fotir other English Gentlemen, followed by a servant, were return ing on horseback to Pisa, and were within a quarter of a mile of Porta le Paiggie, they were overtaken by a man on horse back, in the dress of a dragoon, riding at full gallop, who rush ed through the party at speed, so as to endanger their safety. One of the Gentlemen's horses was so excited, that he with difficulty could restrain him, and he lost his hat. Lord BYRON, (followed by the rest of the party, and the servant,) conceiving the person to have been a commissioned officer, (but he proved to be only a serjeant-major,) pursued him at full speed, and overtook him just at the Porta la Paiggie, where there is a guard. The rode up directly to the dra goon, and asked his name and address, Lord BYRON at the same time offering to him his card. The reply consisted of the most gross abuse, and threats of personal violence, accom panied with the act of laying his hand on his sword, as if to carry his threats into execution. This took place in the presence of some of the guard, one'of whom called out to the dragoon to give them in charge to the guard ; on which he immediately called out to the guard to arrest the whole party. Lord BYRON on this put spurs to his horse, and was followed by one of his companions. His Lordship rode directly to his house, and sent his Secretary to the police, to acquaint them with the outrage ; and, without dismounting, returned towards the guard. On his way he met the dragoon, who rode up to his Lordship and asked him, in, an insulting manner, if he was satisfied. Lord BYRON replied he was not satisfied, and de sired to know his name. The other stated it to be Serjeant- Major ?Jas'. At this moment a' servant of Lord BYRON'S came up to the dragoon, and laid hold of the bridle of his horse, which Lord BYRON desired him instantly to release. The dragoon put spurs to his horse and proceeded along the street by the Aono, through a great number of people who were collected near the Casa Lanfranchi. There, it appears, the dragoon received a wound ; from whom is uncertain. Several have been arrested on suspi cion, amongst the rest one of Lord BYRON'S servants.— The story of Lord BYRON being arrested is not only a pure invention, but it has never been pretended that his Lordship was either present at,or had in any way instigated or countenanced any attack on the dragoon, who is, however, beyond all danger. After his Lordship had quitted the gate, it appears that a most brutal attack was made by the dragoons and soldiers, armed with swords, on the persons of the three unarmed English gen tlemen. One was knocked off his horse, another was wounded in the face, and the servant was severely ill-used. The con duct of the soldiers is at present referred to the civil tribunals. Lord B. and the English gentlemen' made immediately a re port and deposition to the Governor of Pisa, and through the medium of Mr. DAWKINS, the English Charge d'Affaires, at Florence, have demanded satisfaction for the injuries they have received. The Tuscan Government have in the readiest man ner intimated, through Mr. DAWKINS, that they do not en tertain the remotest suspicion that Lord BYRON was in any manner cognisant of the attack on the dragoon, although Ins Lordship's servant is necessarily retained till the affair is fully investigated and judgment given." 144, Jermyn.Street, St. James's, April 27, 142. MR. EDlTOR—Perceiving by . the Daily lour , nals the deplorably wretched state of Ireland at this moment, and of its starving inhabitants! an idea has occurred to me,--and should it meet your approbation perhaps you will do me the favour to give it publicity in your paper. By complying with my request, you may save the lives of thousands of the peasantry of that fine yet unfortunate country ! If every Banking-house, and every Army and Navy Agent in the United Kingdom, would re ceive subscriptions—from 'the " Mite of the widow" to the larger donation of the Prince and Princess—potatoes might be purchased on rea sonable terms in Lancashire, and be instantly sent off from Liverpool to Ireland, which would have the doubly good effect of not only saving the poor Irish from starvation, but also of giving to them that, of which they are so much in want —namely, seed for the ensuing season. If, Sir, it is your pleasure to notice this hum 'hie suggestion in your paper, I do not think that there is an individual, from the highest to the lowest in the United Kingdom, who would refuse to contribute; you will render to Ireland an essential service, and you will infinitely oblige Your most obedient Servant, HUGH DOHERTY. LITERARY NOTICE. JOURNAL of SENTIMENTAL TRAVELS In the SOUTHERN PROVINCES of PRANCE, shortly before • the Revolution ; embellished with Seventeen coloured En- , griyings . , from designs by T. Re w LANDSON, - Esq. royal 13vo. We cannot held) considering that ever since the appearance of the piquant publication of the lively STERNE, the insertion 'of the words " Sentimental Travels" in a title-page has indicated no small degree Of confidence in the writer by whom they are used, inasmuch as the mind of the reader is involuntarily led to institute comparisons be tween the work before him and that ,celebrated performance. How much these comparisons turn to the disadvantage of the majority of the more recent productions need scarcely be insisted on. With the inveterate habit of referring to this standard, we took up the volume on our table without any other favourable prepossessions than were excited on turning over the plates—for we are not ashamed to confess that, like children, we cannot resist the temptation of reconnoitring the pretty pictures of a book before we commence a regular attack on its contents—and in which _embellishments we had no difficulty to recognize the broad and racy humour of our old friend ROWLANDSON. Having dispatched this prelimi nary, by which one of the critical wrinkles at least was removed from our brow, we fairly pre pared to gut up the Author, but had not pro ceeded far before we found the rest disappear one after another. His performance is introduced bra quaint ad dress which purports to proceed from the pen of an editor. It is so brief and appropriate that we shall transcribe it : " Courteous Reader—lf thou delightest to trace the human heart through its secret workings and wordings, through all the devious paths into which it is led by a-thousand vagaries, thou wilt perchance find this tome suited to thy taste, though its title page be not graced by the name of any Honourable, Right Honourable, or right celebrated Author. It cannot be more ina terial to thy relish of its contents to know who is the traveller whose adventures and observations are here presented to thee, his real country, his quality, and his other personalities, than it is to clear up every . shadow of doubt that still envelopeth the writer of the interminable series of delightful Novels put forth by the Eallantyne Press, before thou seatest thyself to enjoy the entertainment which his inexhaustible genius hath provided for thee. An acquaintance with 'these circumstances could not en hance the merits or palliate the defects which thy critical eye may discover in this Journal ; neither would it heighten in the smallest degree its traits of humour or its touches of pathos, if - haply thou meetest with any in thy progress through its pages. Such as it is, the Editor commends it to-thine indulgence ; and if either the traveller's conduct in the very ticklish situations-in which he is sometimes placed, or the manner in which he bath recorded his experience for thy warning and edification seem to need thy charity, condemn him not hastily, but consider if thine own actions have ever been so unimpeachable, and if thy Works have always approached so near to the standard of human per fection, as on no occasion to solicit from others the exercise of that most essential of Christian virtues." Tile unknown Author has, probably as a ruse de guerre, assumed the German character; but we cannot, for the life of us, with all our penetration, detect any thing teutonic either in his language or his sentiments : both are as purely British as we could wish them to be. We must farther ac knowledge that, after a careful perusal of this volume, by which our attention was rivetted with out intermission from beginning to end, we are puzzled to decide whether it is a work of fiction, or the narrative of a real tour. Indeed there is so much verisimilitude in the delineations, the de tails are so circumstantial, the colouring is so vivid, the incidents arise so naturally 'one out of an other, and the whole together is so correctly in keeping, that we rather incline to the latter opi nion. The hand of a master is certainly appa rent throughout, and whether he touches the grave or the gay, the tender or the burlesque whether he rallies the foibles, lashes the vices, or seeks to kindle the purer passions of the human heart, his efforts are crowned with equal success. As our contracted limits preclude the possibi lity of adducing documents from the Work itself . in support of our opinion, we shall conclude with recommending it in the strongest manner to the notice of our Readers ; confident that such of them as may be hereby induced to give it a pe rusal, will feel no small obligation to us for hav ing pressed this elegant and interesting volume upon their attention.
