LAW, INTtLLIGENCL. COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN.4S, W 4. tEEVORE HIS HONOUR THE VICE CHANCELLOR TAYLOR V. THE COUNTESS 'OF ANTRTNT. Tn this case a motion was argued several clays ;ago on the part of Mr.,Michael Angelo Taylor, and Mrs. Taylor, the next of kin of Lady Te n est, an infant., daughter of the late Sir Harry 'Vane Tempest and of the Countess of Antrim, to have Whitton, a solicitor of the highest re spectabilty, who had; beereappointed receiver to the estates-of the infant, removed from that si inationon the ground that - he was the solicitor for the mother, the Countess of Antrim; and that it was a general and established rule of the Court that no person who was solicitor for. arrli of the parties interested, could be the. receiver of the es tate of an infant. , This, position was_ strenuously contested. On the other side, -it was contended, that though such was a general, and in many respe:.ts a proper, rule, yet that it was by no means arule without exception, and that it was cptional in the Court to act on it or 'not, as might be best for the into rest of the infant. In the case of the Tilney Loaf - succession, for instance, the solicitor in the suit i s t ad , by appointment of theCoUrt,eluoy ed throughout the office of receiver of that large property. The VICE CHANCELLOR this day, was pleased grant the prayer of the application for the re-.. 'nova] of Mr. Whitton from the office of .receiver of the estate in ciliation, desiring it at the.same time to be distinctly, understood, that, in his opi itiott,- no- niipl could have acted more honourably than Mr. Whitton had done, and. that an man could be better fitted for any situation of trust confidence than that gentleman was; but that the decision of his Honour proceeded, solely and ex chisiVely on this ground, that it way an universal rule of the Court, that no person, however other w_ise above all exception, should lac receiver of the estate of an infant suitor in that Court, who was also solicitor for any of the parties interested. FENTON V..CRICKETT. Mr. DoWDEswELL was beard this morning i►i Conclusion of the arguments; for ,the plaintiff in this case, in support of the application for conti nuing the Injunction prayed by the plaintiff, to retain the action of ten thousand pounds, brought against the plaintiff', as the former deputy and ph-rtner of the lace ,Mr. Crickett, the Admiralty Marshal, to xebom the defendant is .son, execu tor,- and residuary legatee, and in that capacity claimed that sum as received by Mr. Fenton... Mr. lIART, as leading Counsel for the defend ant, was Ileac(' at great length in combating all the arguments of the plaintiff's Counsel ; .bdt in the course of his argument, he admitted that the case was complex, and the dealings multifarious, insomuch, that any Master would find it difficult to adjust the accounts on any reference that could be di►•ected.by this Court. Sir SAmtii.t. ROMILLY upon this, on behalf - of - the plaintiff, without waiting for the arguments of Mr. Bell, and the other Counsel-of the defendant, or insisting on his own right of reply, i►t order to expedite and facilitate the complicated .case, offered to consent to an issue by mutual. consent, to send the matters to a,Jury,•as the best tribunal for many of the facts and .dealings so long con ducted through the nredium of the Government, banks, .agents; and clerks concerned This offer was accepted, .with the approbation of the V►CE CHANCELLOR, who, desired the Counsel on •both sides to frame the terms of the issue. An issue ivas directed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH SC;INEIDER AND CO. V. NORRIS AND CO, • TorriNG moved for a rule to t shew cause why the verdict for the p,laintitis in this case should not he set, aside, and a nonsuit entered. It was an action for breach of contract in the defendants not delivering to the plaintiffs a quan tity of cotton twist, which the defendants, who are agents for various dealers in cotton, had agreed to sell to the plaintiffs, and of which they had delivered to them a bill of parcels, in which the words " Messrs; Schneider and go. bought of," ate written,_ and " Norris and Co." are printed. This was the only writing which had passed on the subject, and this was the contract of the breach of which the plaintiff complained, the only other evidence in the case being an acknowledgment, by the defendants at it subse quent period, that they had agreed to sell to the plaintiffs the twist in question, but that thepar ties for whom they acted as agents had refused to ratify it. The case was tried before his LoilShip. at the last Sittings in London, and the Jury found, for the plaintiffs. The Learned Counsel now eon-. tended, that . this verdict was. wrong. The only case relied Upon on the trial was one to be found in Bosanquet and PtilleCs-Reports, as to a eon tract for, the sale of some wine, where the name of the defendant -was alsb printed in the bill of parcels ;• but in that case there was a subsequent recognition of the contract in writing, which, Mr. .Topping submittel, completely distinguished. it. front the present case, and rook it out of the ope-. tation - of titeStatute of Frauds. The Court, however, were clearly of opinion, that the facrof the'defendants writing the name . of the .plaintits upon a bill, o f p a r ce l s on wiiich their own names as sellers were previously print ed, was tantamounf to theist affixing their signa tures to the agreement or coutnict, uhd there fore that the verdict was right.--I'L' e refuse!. THE KING V. SMITU. Mr. BAILEY moved, that the Rule which had been obtained by Mr. Abbott in this case for an 'information in the nature of Quo Warrant°, call ing on the defendant to spew by what authority'. • he took npoo himself to act as one of the superior ' Burgesses of WOotton Bassett, should be enlarged for a week. He did this on an affidavit, stating, that on the 20th of this month a copy of the' EA& had been sent to Wootton Bassett; and that the agent' at Marlborough had receive.la letter, dated the 22d, stating, that no copy of the Rule had then arrived at Wootton Bassett, and the roads between Wootton Bassett and Marlboro ngh "Vele then completely, impassable.

This was .a Proceeding of Divorce brought by the Committee of P e te r P ar n e ll, th e husband (Ire being a lunatic), against Ann Parnell, his wife, by reason of adultery alleged to have been com mitted with Philip Crack ; and the question be fot-e the Court was, xvhethett a COmmiftee ap pointed by the Lord Chancellor (a commission of lunacy, having been taken. out against the lunatic) had the power to institute thelbove proceeding. The Learned Judge (Sir Anq:, SCOTT) clearly of opinion, both upon principle and ana logy, that the, power of the Committee.to insure the - suit must . be upheld, he having the care of person of the lunatic, and also:the care 'orall his .property, and thcrefore the -- Court admitted the SECONDARIES OFFICE, JAN. 25. INQUISITION OF DAMPIES.—SMITII S. IIAWKINS. '.This was an inquisition to assess damages, in an action of assault .and false .iMprisonment, in which Mr. James Smith, of Watling-street, was the plaintiff, and Hawkins, one of tlle - City Of ficers, was the defendant. The defendant' had 'allowed judgmeneto go against hint by default. — Mr. LRSKINE opened the pleadings. Mr. SCARLETT stated_ the plaintiff's case. The - .defendant, by suffering judgment to go Agai:lst hitn by.default, had withdrawn himself:front the censure which his conduct "would have vrobably received from high authority, if the case had been tried ,before another tribunal ; but lie had not withdrawn himself from the responsibility to pay such damages as a respectable jury, duly valuing the protection and liberty of the sub Sect,• should award against him. The Jury were to consider how far it was to be en.lored in this :country, that a peaceable and respectable inhabitant of the city of London should be dragged from his house in the middle of the night, and immured lei a prison, from the wanton abuse of the authority of a City Officer. The circumstances of the case which h e bad to state were briefly these :—The plaintiff' was' the owner of considerable warehouses ill Wat ling -street, a titan most respectable in character and. situation in life, and Churchwarden of the parish in which he resided. He had a brother of the name of ThOmas, who lodged in the Adelphi, but who being on the 13th of December, 1812, in the city, took a hackney-coach to his brother's house. The driver of it demanded four shillings for his fare but Mr. Thomas Smith said that two shillings was hi's fare, and he would give nu more. The man then consented to take three shillings, but this- being also refused, he went away, and said lie should summons Mr. Thomas Smith. He called several times after at the house of Mr. James Smith., where he was informed that Mr. Thomas Smith did not reside there, but had gone to Scotland. Tie nevertheless obtained stumnon 7 ses from the Lord Mayor to -Mr. Thomas Smith, to attend upon this complaint, which summonses were directed to the house Of Mr. James Smith. On the third summons, Mr. James Smith thought proper to attenet before the Lord Mayor, and as sured his Lordship that his brother, who had the dispute about the fare, was then in Scot land, but that he had no objection to pay three shillings. He was then informed' at the office that there was a guinea to be paid for expences,_ which he refused to pay. A warrant was then grant ed on the 23d of August to bring Thomas_Sinith before the Lord Mayor. This warrant Was not attemptel to be put into execution until .the 13th September ; and.. when Mr. James Smith had knocked at his own door about twelve o'clock at' night, he was seized by the defendant tvho told him that he was his psisnner. He wished to be allowed to go into his house to speak to his ser vants, but was not permitted. The plaintiff s . porter, who opened the door, and others of his . family, assured the defendant that this • was not Thomas Smith, but James Smith. The beadle of the parish, and other persons, assured him of the same thing, and advised him not to take him to the watch-house, but still he persisted in doing so. At the watch-house he was also informed, that it was not Thomas Smith, but nevertheles, he brought him to the Poultry-Compter, where be was imprisoned for a whole night, and was only libenited on the next morning, at the intervention. of Alderman' AnSley. These circumstances were accompanied with a great deal of insult and vio lence on the part of the defendant ; and he trusted. that- the Jury would consider an outrage of this 'nature as a case that called for exemplary damages. When he saw the Gentlemen who were employed . for the 'defendant (the City Counsel) he hail the satisfaction of thinking, that what damages they should award would be paid, as lie conjectured; That if he was to be defended from the City purse, his damages might also,' be paid from the same quarter. He then expatiated, with considerable feeling upon - the aggravated injury of turning the authority of the law into a means of insult and oppresssion, and called upon the 'Jury to give such damages as they would think ought to be given,ii - • one Of them had been subject to the sane treatment. - T. Gutridge, the plaintiff's clerk, proved the dispute about the fare as stated, and that the coachman had called at different times afterwards, at Mr. J. Smith's house. T. Stevens, the plaintiff's - potter, proved that the defendant had seized the plaintiff at his own door in the manner stated. Some particulars were stated of the hardships of the. plaintiff's imprisonment, in the Compter ; but it was considered that the regulations or bad accommodations •of that prison were not proper matter of aggravation against the defendant.' Mr. COMMON SERJEANT spoke at considerable length on the part of the Defendant, after which, The SECONDARY summed up the evidence in a very able manner, and the Jury, after withdraw ing for a short time, brought in their verdict.-- Damages 2001. 4 E:Rdit iffE LON D O N dAihifE, lAN. 6, i§ii.
