ZaW RPORT. COURT OF KlNG's BENCU, MAv 29 FOSTER V. RICHAI!DS:, The parties: in this-eause are both linen-drapers in Oxford-road. Sir IriAPY GOBS said ?bat the Defendant was call upon to answer for a new species of deceit.— H -liven shopinati . to. the Plaintiff, and after eit wards Set up business for himself., The Plaintiff had been in partnership with a Mr. Brown; and the trade of his shop was carried on under the firm of. Foster and Brown until 1803. - . ln January of that Year Mr.. 13 . roWn quitted the concern, and received a large con sideration for resigning his interest in favour of the Plaintiff. These tradesmen bad. availed themselVes of a popular sign, and had put up a 8a1100n,.12 or 14 feet high, in front of the house, and two other de signs of the same kind in the windows. 'When Mr. Brown retired the names of Foster and Brown still continued on a conspicuous part of the premises.— Thus was the house in which this business Was con . - dueted distinguished in a manner so remarkable that it might be expe&ed it could not be mistaken, or, in other words, that the reputation acquired by Mess. Foster and Brown, for the justice, honour,' and Jibe kality with which they treated their customers, could hot be transferred to any other person. Whatever might be the rational expectations of the Plaintiff, they were in this particular most grievously disap 7 pointed. The Defendant having been employed in the house, knew -perfeElly the mode of their con du&ing business, but did not preserve the integrity to which his masters had constantly adhered. - His first plan of ,deception was, . to render the house in which he had established business, in the same street, as strong a resemblance to that of the Plaintiff as pos sible. The most obvious•distinaion was the Balloon, which he imitated as closely, both in size' and ap pearance, as the front or facade of hiS house admit ted. He also introduced the same sign on his win dows. But this was not all : he placed the names of Foster and , Brown in large charaaers over his door. Messrs. Foster and Brown had a door in the middle of the house, and a - window on each side. The house of the Defendant, unluckily, bad only one door at the extremity, and a large window ranging over the rest of the front. This dissimilarity, how ever, he soon removed, and, with the assistance •of hi:; mechanics,, the door was soon placed in the centre, in conformity with the building occupied by the Plaintiff. He did not, like Abel Drugger, go td a Conjuror, to ask for a lucky Sign, for he knew better than the magician could inform him, that the lucky sign was the Balloon. When he sent for the Painter toonake his sign resemble that of the Plain tiff, the Artist saki, " You have overlooked the cir cumstance of not having the same space to dispose of." This difficulty, however, the Defendant re moved, as far as the nature of his situation admitted. .It was true, that although Foster and-Brown was in the centre over the door, yet, that on one side was " Richards," and on the other," . " and Company;" and in small diagonal German chap6ters, scarcely perceptible, : was the word " from ;" so that the whole stood, " Richards from Foster and Brown, and Company ;" yet, from the artifice employed, Foster. and Blown were the only ostensible names. The Learned Counsel Said, that he should not only prove,, that, by the means of this palpable fraud, several individuals were carried to the house of the Defendant, who intended to 'be customers to the Plaintiff,but that he should shew, that the Defendant himself .waslnstrumental in farthering the decep tion,and in one 'particular case lie was asked if there were any other Fosters in the same street, to which be replied, that there were not. That the Plaintiff had sustained. a certain lOss - would be distin6tly shewn in evidence,: what the whole extent of the loss WAs, could not be precisely determined : but the Jury would assign their damages according to the best judgment-they could form 'from the circum stances which would be disclosed before them. Mr. John Brown being called, said, that he began business with Mr. roster in 1797; that he continued in partnership with him until 1803 ; and that on his withdrawing, for the 'good-will of the concern, he received about a thousand or fifteen hundred pounds. Mrs. Mary'Brain said, that she had,been recoin mended to the Plaintiff's shop, in Oxford-street, by a friend of her's, Mrs. Davis ,; that seeing the' Bal 7 loon, and the names of Foster and Brown; 'she be lieved it to be the shop of the person who had been named to her. On entering, she asked for some. Russia sheeting, and thinking the price demanded . rather high, she inquired for the master, Mr. Foster, when she , was• informed that he had just Stepped ,Q at, that he Vad gone into the City, and the shop . man ,(Ed not at all•know when he would return. Lord ELLENBOROUGII.—‘"DO you mean to con tend., that the shopman had a general lying commis sion; for so far you roust proceed, before you can iix it upon - the Defendant in this way." Sir, VICARY GIBBS—" I mean to contend that, my Lord: Where 'I prove the intention in the De fendant to identify his own shop with that of the Plaintiff,..it will be a question for the Jury,' if the re presentation of the s4opman did not originate with - him" . of the name of Chalmers, who had painted the Plain tiff's sign, and had also been applied to to paint the Defendant's in a similar way. Mr. PARKE, for the Defendant said, that unless his Learned Friend had lost his sight, between the Court and Southampton-street, he would find 40 0r..50- houses of trade on which it was represented in what house the tradesmanniad acquired his know ledge of the business ; and to put the prepositiOn from, adding the name of the persons from whorri the occupant's knowledge,had. been. acquired, in stead of being derogatory and injurious, was con sidered rather as a mark of • respeet and honour to Such persons. In order to support . the argu ment of his Learned Friend, Foster and. Brown must only be read, and not Richards and Com pany from Foster:and Brown. By excluding the context, his Learned Friend might impose any con stru&ion he pleased ; even on the volume of Sacred Writ. - The . witness: next inquired after some of Mrs. Davis's friends, to which the shoprnan evasively ail swered, that Mr. Davis bad called upon Mr. Foster. She 'then asked after the daughters of Mr. Davis, to which the shopman replied, that he hoped they were well. She then inquired if he' remembered sending some shawls to Mrs. Davis, 'to which the shopman answered, that he did not exaaly recollect : but on the witness sheaving him some shawls on the coun ter that resembled them, hereplied, that he that mo- • ment recolleaed. them ; they were red shawls, at the price or from three -to four guineas. After' iat, the witness asked for the shop bill, with.the state ' ment of the amount of her purchases, on - which the shopman obs4ved, that there would not be room to write the bill of parcels on the printed form (on which the name of, Richards appeared), and that therefore if the lady would excuse it, he would make out the account on a blink piece of paper.; to which she answered, that, having found her, way, the name s and number of the shop would be of no conse quence. On her cross-examinztion she said, that while she was conversing with the shopman, the Defendant was passing ,backwards and forwards among his customers, but she would not Swear that he heard what passed. .

Besides, it was dated for' the claimants, that the Dire6ors . themselves had de- parted from their regulations in this respe&, as it was :no uncommon, prat ice at their branches to grant receipts for deposited Money. As to the argu ments-of the Bank respeding the powers of tnanda tories. or commissioners; it was maintained on the part of the. claimants, that, though a man was bound, when he transacted with ordinary mandato ries, to look'at and understand the extent of their powers,_yet, that where a Bank established itself in a place,. opened 'an office there, • and nominated Agents for the general management of the business, the powers of these Agents were to, be presumed in all matters connected with banking; and, conse- quently, that in a case like the preseht, th© improper ads and deeds of the Agents must affed the -Bank, and not the public, whj had ,confided in the Agents by the invitation of the Dire&Ors. As to the placard, it was stated by the claimants that they never had seen it ; and, at any rate, that when a person enters a public banking-office to transa(t business, he is not bound to read placards and regulations, as he is en- titled to consider the official : person, with whom he deals to be . in possession of every necessar y au th or i ty .for renderitig the transa&ion legal.., When this cause came. first- before. the Court for judgment, it was decided in favour of the Bank by a narrow majority of one vote.; but their Lordships, on revising elaborate and ingenious papers on both sides, altered their former interlocutor, and, by a large majority,- found the. Bank liable for . thesums claimed, besides the, costs of suiL SPORTING INTEL LICENCE. MADDING TON RAC ILS,(Stockhridge Course.) WEDN a.: , DAY, MAY 28., The Maddington Stakes of 2 - Sg:t, each.

SMITHFIELD HATMARKEI. H a y 2,1, to 41. 4s.—Clover 41. Os. to4l. SWAY, iBs. to zl, It was there declared, that " the fool has said in his heart, there is no God." Leave out the prefatory words, and it stood on the highest autho rity that " there is no God !" How was the case. proved ? By slip-shod ladies' maids, and gossipping old women—the former the most useless of all hu man beings, and the latter the most 'troublesome, if not the most destru&ive. Mrs. Brain, who, if she had any brain at all, could not have mistaken one shop for the other, did not even venture .to swear that Richards had heard a word of the conversation with the el shop-man. The fa was, that no deOption was either attempted or intended; and that the De fendant had taken the sign of the Balloon, which had become a sOrt of fashionable invitation to cus tomers ever since the time of Lunarch's aerial ex- pedition. The Jury would easily discover, that the whole.affair originated merely 4p a quarrel between the master and the'shopman, ,because the latter had become the rival of the former : but if these compe titions .in trade were discountenanced, the Public would be liable to the most grieVous impositions. No, Witnesses were called on for the Defendant. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up-at consi, dprable length, and the Jury found a verdita for the Plaintiff.—Damages 201. LANG V. VICCARY. This was an Mtion for an Assault.- The Plaintiff was a poor barber, residing at, St. Luke's, Chelsea, and the Defendant, a baker, in the same neighbour hood. In the month of May, 1805, the Plaintiff owed a small balance to the Defendant, of is. 4d. for which he summoned him to the Court of. Co nscience. The debt, however, being paid in the mean time; the Plaintiff went. to the Defendant's house, to remonstrate with him about' the costs, and while in conversation with his wife, the Defendant . came behind him, knocked bim down, fraaured his jaw, and broke one of his teeth. It appearing, how ever, in the course of the evidence, thatthe Plaintiff was not quite sober at the time, and behaved in ra ther a tumultuous manner, • Lord ELLENBOROUGH intimated to the parties, that this cause might be much better adjusted out of Court ; the Learned Counsel acquiesced in his . Lordship's opinion, and the Case was accordingly referred to the arbitration of a mutual friend. • Some other causes, of no public interest, were disposed of, and the Sittings at Westminster con cluded. The Sittings at Guildhall will commence on Mon day next.. COURT OF SESSION. THE Dire&ors of the Bank of Scotland, a good many years ago, conceiving that they might extend the business of the. Bank beyond the limits of Edin burgh, resolved to establish branches in almost every town in Scotland-; and the arrangement was no doubt beneficial to all parties. To the country it extended a useful fund of credit ; and though the more general circulation of the Bank Paper Was the primary object in the institution of these 'branches, the Bank received advantage by their becoming very naturally the deposits , ol. the money belonging to numerous persons in their neighbourhood. The case now to be detailed took its rise from this last circumstance. In the year .1793 'the Diredors of the Bank of Scotland had established one of their branches in the town of Brechin, and appointed a Merchant:in that town, and two of his sons, to be their Agents there, under a constituted firm. These :people:somes'time ago became bankrupt, when'zt was discovered, that besides .taking in ,money for the Bank, they had re ceived a great .many sums, to the amount cf. 5001. or 60001. for which they kad: not accounted to the Bank, but which the personOodging-them stated they had meant as Bank 'deposits. For these. the , Agents had given receipts on a copper-plate engrav ing, bearing a be dated at the:" Bank's Office," and in other respeds containing the usual style and words of Bank vouchers but, in signing these documents, the Agents did not add any:designation immediately indicating their havingrvaed for the Bank in the re ceiving of that, money. When the failure happened, the Dtre&ors of the. Bank of Scotland , refused to re tire these documents, on the following, among other grounds : that their Agents were not entitled to take in money, so as to bind the` Bank, on'documents ,in . the form granted by their Brechin Agents. With a view. to try the validity of such a defence, an action Was brought against the Directors on one of these receipts. wolld exceed our limits to enter into a`j particular ;detail of the arguments of the parties M. . this cause . ; sutfc.: it in general to state, that on the part of the Bank it wrs maintained, their Agents were not entitled to takein money, for behoof of the B.ank,,except in payments on caskaccounts and - fbr promisSory notes, which last Were to'boe sealed with the Bank's seal, countersigned by the Accomptant, &c. and this plea was enforced by a reference t(i y'acard which was hung up,in The office at Brechin, :nct to advertis&rnents iu the Newspapers, Bic.. it AAA r fiOR il~'G"th.t An Account the Extracartiltrail giperices of tilt?

Last week, as some men were cutting down a large oak tree, in Sutton Park; in Derbyshire, it fail , against another tree at a little distance, broke off two of its branches, which falling upon a man who was standing underneath, nearly severed one of his legs from his body, and otherwise so much bruised bun, as to occasion his death in a tern. hours. -r,
