LeilY REPORT. coußr OF CHANCERY, LlNcoLtes INn, TULY 22. THRLLITSSON V. WOODFORD. The SOLICITOR GENERAL and Mr. PERCIVAL had, on a former day,, advocated the cause of the Plaintiff in this case ; and Mr. BELL and Mr. MAR TIN were this day heard in' reply. It was an appli cation to set aside the Will of the Plaintiff's father, as far as regarded the bequest to the Defendant -of certain landed estates, on the ground that the tes lator had not the power to alienate them from the heir,at law.. For the Defendant, it was contended that it was consonant to agreement between '.the Testator and the Plaintiff, that the estate shonld be bequeathed to the Defendant, on consideration o f -personal, and other property, to the value_ of 20,0001. being left to the Plaintiff; and that the- Plaintiff could not, at once, invalidate the as far as - regarded the interest ,of others, and himself take the benefit he had been intended to have under it: he must take his ele&ion either to relinqui s h what accrued to him under the instrument; as- it or. to allow its validity as it affeded the other Legatees. • The LORD CHANCELLOR thought, such cases as this' were involved . in maturely unnecessary snbtle,ty ; but said he Should • consider, before he overturned the doctrine of Lord Hardwicke;'a it at 'present stood on the subjea. The LORD CHANCELLOR then sat upon Petitions In Bankruptey.. , IN THE MATTER OF ANTHONY DAFFY SWINTON, A BANKRAITT, "Mr. PEncivm, sated,. that this wasa . Petition to ' the Lord Chancellor 1)11 - the part of Anthony Daffy Swinton, the Proprietor of a Medicine called Daff)='s Elixir, praying, that the Commission ef-Banktuptcy a&ainst Jilin might be superseded. The Commission hali3sded upon the testimony of one Gorge Hall, ' the Bankrupt's servant, who had sworn that his mas ter had ordered him to deny him to his ereditors.--;-- This same George Hall had been lately confined in GiltSpur-Street Compter for felony, and had there confessed to Mr. Swinton, that he had been it - Kb:wed ; to swear he had denied him,' by one.Leidier Cham-, berlayne, who had bribed him with ad offer of six guineas. He had made an affidavit of the fact, and had positively sworn that Mr. Swinton never did in struct him to deny him .to his creditors: . : • 'Lone CHA.:ZCELLOR - .—" -- Why do you not bring ‘ a action against thesAssil,nees, and let them prove the'a& of bnikruptcy ? I shall not decide on affi dl4vits, especially where a man swears that he ba's before sworn falsely." The SoLtciro - G ER AL: observed, that the only question Was, whet7ner any aLt of bankruptcy• had been committee) ? It was quite a common -thing to 'support acts bf bankruptcy upon faas which were Lever stated' to the Commissioners. As to Mr. Swinton, he had4Rommitted aas of . bankfulitey in every possible way. He could present to his Lord-. ship's view a very curious piaure of him. Mr. PERCIVAL went on to state, that Hall had been tried for felony; and acquitted. Loan Cn.,t-scEiLoa.—".Who indi&ed him ?" SOLICITOR. GE SIERAL.—" Mr. incliaed him. I shall sheW your Lordship that it was a most Infamous conspiracy." • - Mr. PEactvm, repeated the contents_of Hall's se- Cond'affidavit, In denial of the first.. He then stated the affidavit of the Bankrupt, as to-a conversation' with-Hall in prison, when he aoknoWledged that he had been, bribed to, swev'be had been instruCted.to deny him to his Creditors - ; and lastly, the affida'Ot 'of a Mr. FLdges, confirming the truth of that.cen versation. Such were the grounds'upon which II e, desired his Lordship to - set aside the Commission. It was evident., .he said, .that it had' issued upon "We oath of a man who, by his own account, was un-; -Worthy of credit; and, therefore -he trusted his Lord ship would not' suffer such a prdceeding as a Com mission of Bankruptcy to, be adopted upon \ his evi- dence. , Load CitANcELLoa.—fic This is the worst place in the world to try .a man's cmdit in., I shall. never think of it. , You have iridieled the person on whose affidavit the,Commission issued, and Row you want to avail yourself of his confession in gaol. These are'things I, should have treated lightly in another Court, . where I have long attended, Upon any ques tion .as to setting aside an a6t of bankruptcy." Mr. AGAR, on the same side,. submitted that the Commission ouSht not to proceed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL observed, that his Lord ship was required to supersede this commission at the expence of an honest petitioning creditor, because the servant employed by Swinton turned out to be a Per son to whom credit ought not to be given. Before that was dore,he was perstracad his Lordship would be sa tisfied that there had not been any a ft of bankruptcy committed. It was rather too much for'Mr. Swinton to desire that Hall should be -declared unworthy of credit, merely beccause he, had .lieen indiCied for a felony, Considering - the circumstances of the charge against him. He was accused by Swinton With having stolen a 21. note—he denied ie. The next morning he returned to the hotse 'of .his employer, and a Con stable was sent for to take him into custody—his pockets' were searched,. and the, Constable looked into his hat, but -- found not!:ing. , Swinton soon after direaed the Constable to e-,omine his' hat agai,n— the ,Officer did so, and a 21. note was - discovered. lipon this Hall. was cOminittect to Giltspur-'street Compter. - Swinton .called upon - him there, and, promised not to prosecute, if .he. wouhl sign a paptri confessing 014 lie bad nevcibt:en iI)SIITLICicd to lieu him to his creditors. LORD CHANCELLOR.—f‘ Did Swinton appear .is a witness against him ?" • 7 ry SOLICiTOR:GENERAL'. -", He_ did, but Hall was acquitted." LORD CLIA,NCELLOR.—" I think Mr. Swinton will sear of _this." • SOLICITDR,GENERAL.—" t 1 second charge - Was preferred:Against Hall, for feloniously removing S w in tOnlkiodds. SWintOn appeared as.a witne - ss against him, but the - Yy disbelieved him, and Hall was again acquitted. As to the allegation of Hall's half= - ing received a bribe to make the affidavit on which the Cortitnissid issued, it . was nothing more •, than this. :Mr..:Leidler .

The SOLICITOR GENERAL added, that, by these stratagems, Swinton had long eluded his creditors : but at last Chamberlayne promised Hall six guineas to let' him into the house : - Hall consented' to betray his master, and Swinton, after having been pursued through *several trap-doors and' mazy labyrynths, was at length arrestett Such was the real history of the. bribe ottere:i - to Hall. But at once to decide the I question, .it was only necessary to state, that the conituission kid not been founded upon the denial of the bankrupt to his creditor, but upon the fad of his.abkonding . from , his dwelling-house, and taking away his .property. This would appear upon the face of-the proceedings under the commission. Mr. CULLEN enforced these observations, and con tended that the Commission ought not to be super- sided. . _ . LORD CHANCELLOR.•-••-•" Let Swinton bring an ae tick) to try the Aa of Bankruptcy if he ' pleases. ' I would have him take good care that he is not a De fendant upon an 'lndietment.

I would recommend him 4 be quiet, tbr should. he W prosecuted, he will be in a'. situation of extreme peiil: Let him bring his aelion, and I think .he will find that an a6t of bahltruptcy is' not to be purged evert by Daffy's Elixir.". IN THE ARCHES COURT OF CANTERBURY. • BEI , QILE THE RIGHT 140 N. SIR WM. WYNbia. KEMP V. REV. 'JAMES FILEWOOD, RECTOR OF SIBLE HEDINGIIAM, -ESSEX. This was an appeal brought by Mr. John, Kenip from the Consistorial Court of the Diocese' of Lon; don, against a decree of the Right Hon Sir William Scott, Chancellor of that. Diocese, in a .cause pro secuted by Mr-. File Wood,, against Mr. John Kemp, respeding the tythe of JOIN, ,and,Carrying away.' the whole crop of carrot seed without setting out tytbe, under pretence of selling thi same to a strange);,, be sides withholding various other ',matters of tythe all which were adjudged, by Sir William Scott's de cree, ,to,be due to Mr. Filewood, with full . costs' of suit. . This appeal_wits, a few days since; withdrawn by Mr. Kemp, and the cause was .sent back to the Con sistoriat Court...of London, -by which the decree of Sir W. SCOTT was confirmed, and Mr. Kemp coh demned in the further costs of the,appeal. The ex- peaces in 'both Courts are supposed to amount I to near 6001. the whale of which M.

BLACKBURN AND ANOTHER. This .was an Action of Troyer, directed by the LORD CHANCELLOR, to try the question, whether a publican had been a sufficient trader as to come with in the Suituteot Bankrupts ? .The Plaintiff ,had ,been a publican, and kept the Three Kings' public-house, Orange-street, Red Lion-square, and the Defendants were. Petitioning Creditors under a Commission of Bankruptcy issued against the former, , and in such 'charader had pos sessed themselves .of his stock in trade, &c. for which the a&ion was brought. On the part of the Defendants it appeared, that , the Plaintiff was constantly in the habit of sending out porter, spirits, and wine, to hif: customers in that neighbourhood, in small and large quantities. The ,Learned Counsel for the Plaintiff contended. that this was done in the common course of his busi ness as a publican, and pould not be within the meaning of the Bankrupt Laws. But Lord ELLENBOROUGII observed, this point had been.already settled. If the Plaintiff could shew that he had clone this only in one particular instance, then. there might be some doubt of a general dealing ; but it was a clear principle,that where g man held him self out to the world that he. Was ready to. deal with every one, as in this case, that constituted:a general dealing, and was fully within the, provisions- pf the Laws against Bankrupts. . . • The Jury act.-ordingly foOnd a verdi& for the De •fendants. WILLOCKS V. POTTS. This was an action upon a POlicy , of Insubnce upon the Ship Uuiana, of and from Liverpool, to the Coast of Africa and , the West IndieS,‘ which was captured by a French force. Sir Nr.'Gthas stated, that the Sl4 in question sailed 'from Liverpool upon her destined' voyage in company with the Laurel;- both Ship; were armed; and being-tosail in Company,- and the latter being the heaviest 'metal, it was agreed that Captain Philips, who commanded her, should have supreme . orinnand over both, as Commodore. ,They•per fcaed their voyage to Africa, .and were Proceeding to the West Indies, when about eight leagues to the N'vesflyard of Suritiam, they fell in with a FrenCh Frigate,. which they' fought-for some hours; and beat off. In ,this engagement. Captain Ilamsay, of 'the Uriana, was kilied.; and Capt. Philips was wounded by a cannen ball,' which struck him, and, after wards occasioned his death. In this diSabled state Capt. -Philips, ever anxious fbr the interests of the underwriters, considered 'l,vhat was best to be done‘ and bOreaWay for - Pemerora. In the course of this voyage they weriz again 'attacked•by a French Frigate of Superior force, whom they fought for two hours, and-again beat lier ;Ai; hut in the evening she re; newed the fight; and they V.:ercreluaantly obliged to yield to stwerior i foree.

And it under - writers had . an sr de fence to makejot which the Learned Cotin,,el not aware) under such circumstances, . , Must be a very ungracious one, to say the best. •, The filets being admitted, , The Learned 'Counsel for the Defendant said, that in answer to the latter part of his Learned, Friend's speech; he begged,leave•tO state that there was Mit a more respeadble person in London than 'the Defendant : . nor,,would he , ever have defended this aaion, had'he not' understood that the Plaintiffs meant to gO for h general -loss, when they were only entitled to an average loss. • A verdia was accordingly found for the rlaintiffs, the amount of the average loss being referred to ar-. bitration. MARTINS V. PARKER.. 1 This was also an af.liOn upon a Policy of Insurance upon goods, by the Amavilla Eleanore, a Portuguese Ship, from Lisbon to Venice, which was captured by a French Force. The ship in question sailed from Lisbon. upon her destined voyage in company with another arm •ed vessel, called the Cavalla MN - kale.. In the. Streights of Gibraltar they experienced such severe weather that they were obliged to make some near port ;. but the wind blowing fresh from ,Gibraltar,. they were under the ,necessity of going to Malaga, where the ship in question under Went some repairs, and the - cargo was taken out and re , shipped. — These seas being infested by swarms of the enemy's cruizers, the Captain thought it prudent to watch his. opportunity of putting to -sea ; especially as he had a French Privateer next to him in the harbour; watching all his motions. He was further delayed for want of sufficient bands, as several of his .men. deserted.. He might, to be sure, have-bad a supply, fbr it was offered;. but, this was part of the .Crew of the Privateer who had been watching ail his. motions, and he IhOught..better to.rejeEt then3.-=-- , At last, however, he prevailed. on the Governor to. : detain the Fretichman. for 24 hours after he shOuld sail ; but all this precaution was in vain"; 'for ,he had' not been long at sett, When .he was attacked by two. or three Privateers, which he fought as long as he could, and then vas obliged to -surrender at iiiScre , tiun. The Defendant endeavoured to slew that there' was a deviation froni the original Voyage, and it was - the.duty of the captain to have. got into Gibraltar ;, but the , Learned Judge, considering that the going to Malaga instead of- Gibraltar. was 4 case of neces sity, and could , not vary the • The Jury totmd a verda for the Plaintiff..

The question was, whether a fair representathin had been made to the Underwriter. She sailed with convoy, but was: missing in the Gulph of Florida, The Plaintiff re, ceived information to that. 0-ea, and immediately procured a policy. He described her.as. having been missed after,,the convoy had passed the Gulph, and that she was somewhere near the convoy. If this had been true, the risque, insured.would have been a fair one, because the danger of capture-would ,have ceased had she been separated afterpassingt he Gulph, where _the Privateers of the ..F.'nemy abound; 'but it •turnedbut that she had , been missing,before the c0n , ..- voy\ cleared the .Floridas, and consequently had the •Underwriter been apprized of that fa6t, the premium .
