LAT.: ,13*P...D.RT, COURT OF KING's BENCH, Dtc.x7. • DU AKIN V. HAYES. The Plnintiff is:a lighterman and granary-keeper, and on the 19th of August, 1803, receUedinto his granary 8&301 quarters of wheat to, be. kept for the Dilenciant. Oh the 16th of November 356 quarters were sold;.•and remiiveo by the . Defendant, and the remaining qUantity 0f:474 quarters continued in the Plaintifi's granary until the 21S1 of Aug. 1806, when the last delivery• took' place. The Plaintiff demanded bs. per Week.for each-'hundred quarters on the whole flu,.4ntity of 830 quarters -during the whole year, from, Alig. 1805 to Aug.'. 'BO6, .ainowlting to 1141. or 109 i. and it was at first attempted to establish this awn upon the foundation .of c.ustoin in the trade to charge rent for thewbole quantity, notwithstand ing it should .be reduced -by• intermediate deliveries of corn to purchasers, unlesSthere should: be what is . called in ;he tradea:new peeling. The Defendant ' paid 751. into Court, which was at the rate of ss. per quarter on 830 quarters to the aith-of Novern- ber, and upon 474- quarters from thence to the last delivery% - . -Mr. GA attow, for -the Plaintiff, called several wit nesses,to prove the custom of the trzde„andone of them went so far as to say, Oaf if ,there were three floors of a granary filled with corn, apd two should be em, tied, and only . ten quarters remaining in the third, the t 44 - r ivuSt pay rent for the whole three floors until the third Was cleared, orthere was a fresh peeling. Lord ELLl7.l4Bououon thought this custom of trade too gross to be supported. And the Plaintid : then went upon the quantum meruit to recover a fah com pensation. SeVeral witnesses were then called, who said s:?!6J..vas a fair price, some 6s. and one as.high as 12s. in this case. • Sir V. Givas called several witnesses for the De fendant to rebut the custom, who said, that when there was a flour of Corn which was delivered in five or six veeks, the faeor took no notice of • the diffe rent stages of delivery,, but paid for the origivalquan, tits- at nye or six shillings a week, Sometimes, when granaries were wanted more than wally, the lighterman himself paid seven shillings a week rent . for taking an occasional granary. Leal tf..LENUOROUGH, in summing up the,case, - said, that the evidence had been addressed more to the CUStOM ihan to thevantum ineruit, which was the true- point in the case. The effe6t.of. a Pra6tice, for it Nva; improperly called a custom of trade, was this " So far as. it is reasonable, and when quite uni, form, it ought to prevail in; the absence of any ex press ulit - Ad - between the parties. For it would be quite endless in each instance to specify theterms of every contract in business ; but parties are supposed to make their contra&s with reference to such usages or practices. That they must, however, be. clear, reasonable., and invariable ; for if not reasonable, as in this case, they'were not good." He said the JUry had received but little information as to‘the question a the reasonableness of the price. ' : The Jury found a verdial. for the Plaintiff—Da- ZtlageS :31. and a frgtion ; -but declared that they did pot sanction the custom. , CARR V. OSBORN. This was an anionfor money had and received, - With a special count that the Defendant, having in , cured the Height of goods in the ship George,. from Rip to Londoo, "(which WAS detained by the Ern -I}o-or of litissia) abandoned the freight to the Plain ' tiff, and agreed to make - an effectual assignment thereof, in consequence, of which he, paid the losS, but that the Defendant afterwards abandoned the ship" to ether persons,, and . thereby; although the ship returned safe and earned freight, yet the assign tuent by the Defendant of the freight was rendered of no avail. , Mr. PARK stated• the case, which El:Orrespended with the above statement of the special count, with some additions. The Plaintiff first abandoned the ship alai then the freight, and both were assigned to - the same trustees, in trust tor the several Under writers on each: The "ship - was chartered for the voyage, .and the ireight earned under the charter party. The Learned Counsel stated, that this ac non was founded upon the principles arising out of the ~ a•se of " M'earthv v. Abel," 5 East, 388'; 'and Very ne:lrly resembled' the case of '" Sharp v. Glad . stone," 7 East, 2-14 bUt it• differed . fi our that case,. inasmuch as there it was a seeking ship,„ and not a chartered ship. fads . were all admitted. • • •-• . . Sir V, GIRBS said; , this was distinguishable`from Sharp v. Gladstone; and as there was an assignment to the trustees, if any thing passed •by that assign tneitt,_Jhe Plaintiff - could not recover: He did not enter, however, sufficiently . into the argument to enable us to state his view of the case ; and it ap pearing to Lord ELLEKnottouGn to he different, in some de-, gree, from the last case, he gEve no opinion; and - a Verdi& was taken by_ consent, for 'the Plaintiff Damages t. 301. subject to a case for the opinion of the Court. . ATTERSOL, V. BURN 4. • The Plaintiff deposited 570 quarters of the , best Dantfic Wheat 'in the Del udant's granai . ies tbr 25 days: When it was measured out, the Defendant said it had lost to quarters and 5 bushels, and for this deficiency .the action was brought; the value being 45E. - . Fur the Plaintiff it . was proved. that the Wheat sold at pos. per qtraner, Aviii.eh Was the highest price in the :Market, and that.sotne'of the same Wheat posited in 'his own granaries, did not - suffer any waste_ The Defendant called many ~ y ..iti n esses to chew that .the w2ste was_ the fair diminution in quan tuy arising front the necessary turn - ingot - the Wheat, to I“tip ;t dry, and also from the •skreening or it :fur sale, according to the direaicp of the Plaintiff. Verdietior the Plaintiff, damages of. DEM\IBL4t ASSA,U I.T. • GORE V. RUSSELL. Mr. OABRO*, • on the part of the Plaintiff, said, that this was one of the most outrogeous, assaults, that ever came before a Court. It-was committed too by a public character, one who was not, per haps, unknown to the Jury, and one .whose interest LON DON. : P by At the'Suzi3Ovyi it peculiarly was to preserve order and, decornm - in places of public amusement and resort. , The Defendant was a player in one of the London winter Theatres, and likewise a proprietor of the Rich mond and Margate Theatres. The,. assault took place It an : eatertairiment called The Lounge, con sisting partly of recitation, and partly of music, held at Wigailore-street,.cavendis \ h-square,. in the month C• of .T' Jay The Plaintiff was . sitting tin QM: 'of the benches, perfealy unconscious of the Defend ant's :being in the reom,_ when he came up to him, during an interval of the entertainment; and, after exclaiming, " you, you're the Man," struck him a violent blow on the head with a stick, with out any provocatiengiven upon the occasion. Mr. Henry Frederick. Holt, of Abingdon-street, surgeon, deposed, that he was present at Hughes's, RooMS; 'in Wigmore-Sfreet,'On the (,iii o f May, anctsaw Mr. 'Gore, the,Plaintiff,' sittinga on - a ben opposite to him. Ile - observed the 'Defendant come up, to him, and, withotitany provocation, strike 'Di l a a violent blow with a large 'stick, after exclaiming, " Damn you," you are the man." Mr. Gore re ceived 'a very severe L'ut, and imniedietely - fell on the' floor in a faint. The whole 'company were throvau into 'the utmost confusion. Surgical aid being • requisite, usdd 'the 'necessary . means to stop the bleeding, which was very profuse; the witness accompanied him home in a coach, after he was somewhat recovered.' He continued to ,at tend him for about s eventeen or eighteen He - was not previously acquainted either \yid' M. Rtissell or Mr. Gore. Cress-examined by Sir . V ' GIBB'S..--He never heard Mr. Russell say, that Mr. Gore had attempted 2_ to seduce his, wife. Mr. Gore was silting quite tin . suspiciously, with his lhatiri' his band, and leaning forward on his walking-cane. This witness :pre. duced the instrument of assault in Court. Mr. Nixon Black,. of Cumberlandi-street, New- road, deposed, that he sat on a benchnear...Mr: Rus sell, and saw him rise to go - away, in company with a lady. • When he. heard the scuffle, which' soon after wards eiastied,' he imagined 'that it had originated • from some: persons having been making observa tions about Russell and the lady, Who was with him, which he (Russell) had beefy - resentine o He heard the word scoundrel, and . saw Mr. Gore struck lently by the Defendant, and also - saw him. fall, aud-.; become in,sensible through the loSs.of,blood. \ Mr. 'Alexander Fraser, of . Lyon's-Inn, stated; that he was ASO present arrthe . occasion alluded to that he was sitting on thehench immediately behind Mr. Russell, and perceived him rise-after the-con clusion of the first act, with a young Lady under his arm,, whom he understood to be his daughter, and both . , of them seemed about to retire from the company. He soon afterwards was alarmed with the noise, of a scuffle, and heard the worci, " ssouo drel" used; and, on looking about, he perceived the Defendant brandishing huge stick, with . which he was armed,. and aiming a blow at the Plaintiff, who, at that time, had received a previous one,, and had fallen to the ground, bleeding profusely. In aiming ' this last blow, Russell struck the chandelier, and was stopped from committing-further violence, by the interference of the company, 'who were by this 'procedure thrown into, the ,utmost consternation,; benches were overturned, and , several of the ladies tainted. The Witness, on beholding this .singular outrage, immediately advanced,, and contributed his assistance to disarm the Defehdant, and was the means of preventing him:from receivieg, from one of the company, who got tios , 2ssion Of the' stick, a bloW as severe as that. which he had given the Cross-examined by Sir Gn3134---He did not hear .Russell- assign any reason for thiS outrage; during the time that Mr. Gore was insensible,' bat „he heard him afterwards assign a cause fq ,lifs:cou- eiiett. dust. . -- _ Sir VICARY Gums, as Counsellor the Defendant, argued;that the - Jury, if they consulted their. own _ feelings on this occasion, ainst be convinced that the Defendant had certainly received, 'on sonic forrner occasion; Very serious provocation. He, however, shoUld not des re them to -4e left by his surmises,. but to be gnided by the facts` in evidepee, joined to their own ' teelingS.: - Nothing 1).4 the grosseSt provocation could have induced Mr. Rus sell, who himself Was - a public man, to disturb the harmony, of the company at a, place of piablic en tertainment. All the witnesses had proved that" he used the• word " scoundrel," but •it Was not denied that he had said something about schne im proper conduct having been shown toWards his wile. That, however, was not a- matter which they could discuss on this occasion, as the - law was' opetko him to have redress. He apprehended, however; that the Jury would be, of opinion, that if a person had any very gross previous provocation, of the nature he alluded to, such an assault as the present would - be rendered very excusable. . He Could not, however, enter into any evidence upon that point, in this case,'aiid therefore he must leave the matter to their own understandings. . .. . , Lord t:t.LENBORoUGH, in stiilU up .the eVi deuce, observed, that-if the.Plahititi had really been the seducer of the Defendant's wife, as was evidently surmised by his Counsel, the laws, of the country were open to him, - and he might have recovered .damages from a Jury, which they were in the habit of administering with no niggardly hand. They were not, however, on the present occasion, to look to conjectures. They had the evidence of a surgeon, that the wound given was. a very severe one.;, and the other witnesses also proved that the. outrage was very daring and violent. It .was a ,great dis-' turbance of a public meeting, and was a degradation , to a person who himself was in the habit of appear tug in public:. With these observations, he should leave the matter. to their determination ; and had no doubt but the amount of the damages would be . a .considerate one, and such as, under similar circum stances, they would wish to be given to - theruselves, _were any of them to have a similar claim left to the . determination of a -Jury.—Verdiat—Datnages tool. _ besides costs. - - , . .• During the.. sitting of the .CoUrt, this day% the Learned Judge received a letter from a party in a cause now on the list, stating the circumstances re.• lating to that cause.._ His Lordship having remarked to Mr. GAR . HOW, the Counsel for the' party, the great impropriety of this proceeding,' intbrmed him, he must be under the necessity of ordering the party to be attache4; qnd . xcprdingly-gave orders to that COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, 1) c. 17. ELDRIDGE V. PA.YNE. This was an, a6tion for slander. The counts in .the declaration charged, the, Defendant with having said,: the Plaintiff was a Swindler, for giving a .cheque drawn by Pa:c.h, %s7l - m was execured . for the murder of Mr. Blight, of liotherhithe, upon the house of Willis and Co. bankers, post-dated ; also that he knew it would not be . paid at the` time he gave it. _The parties are respectable .merchants The cheque in question was given by Patch:for a Valuable con sideration to . a person named Ricknian,, from :whom it had got into the hand,i of the Plaintiff .by negotiation, ,and by hint it was paid to the De fendant on account of two drafts. On the 18th of Sept. 1805, the cheque was presented to the house and Co. but not paid, as it was post-dated and net due; the Defendant consequently went to the Plaintiffs bankers, and used the expressions which became the ground of the prescnitatiion. It appeared the cheque ;was, after Wards paid, and that Patch kept cash at the li'ditkers before-mentioned. Sir JAMES NlANsi , iEto was of Opinion,..that the counts in the , declara.ion were not made out, and thatthe words spoken by toe Defendant did not con vey a meaning that the Plaintiff was a swindler,. he therefore directed a_nonsuit; but the Counsel ex, pressed a desire in behalf of his client., hat the case might be, submitted to the Jurors., The 'learned Judge accordingly.. left it in , the hands of ,the Jury, and they found ,a verdic'.l, for the Plaintiff—damages fool. .

The followin4 accotint of an extraordinary Phenomenon, that appearod- to-a number of People in the County . or Rutlier ford, State of North Carolina, was made the 7th of 283;, in presence of Dav_id Dickle, Esq. of the County and State aforesaid, ,lef.se Anderson, - and the'-.Rev. 'George • . Newton, of'the County of Buncombe,. and Miss Betsey Newton, of the State of Georgia, who unanimously agreed, with the consent of the Relaters, that Mr. Newton should communicate it to Mr. 1. - Gales, Editor of The Raleigh Re gister, and .State Patsey ReaVes, a - widoW womah,who lives near the. Apalachian: M4untain, declared, that on the 31st July last, abont,six o'clock P.M. her daughterEliza heti), about eight. years old, was in the cotton field, about ten poles froni the dwelling 7 house, which btands, by computafs. ;n, six furlongs from the plum my 'Mountain, and that Elizabeth her brother Morgan, aged eleven years, that there was a man on the Mountain. MOrgan \vas incredulous , at first; but the little girl affirmed it, and Said she „saw him rolling rocks or picking up sticks, adding that she saw, a-heap of people. Morgan then went to the place where she. was, and. calling out, said he saw - a thousand or ten thousand' things flying in the air— on which', Polly, daughter of Mrs. Reeves, aged fbur 7 teen years, and a negroe woman, ran to the children,, and-Called to Mrs. Reeves to conic - and see what' sight yonder was. „ 'Mrs. Reeves says, she went about eight poles to ward's them, and, without any, sensible. alarm. or. fright , she turned towards the , Chiumer_Mountain„ and discovered a very numerous crowd of beings, re serubling-the human species, but could .not.diStin guish any particUlar memb'eis '6f the human body, nor distinction of sexes ; that they were: of e‘, &Ij. size, from the talk:it Men down to the 'least in fantS.:; that there were more'of . the' stnall than of the full grown'; that they were allrelad:with brillianovhite raiment, but could not describe any - form of their •raiment; that they appeared!to - rise off the side - of-A mountain south - of said rocks and about as high that ,a considerable part of the mouirtain's top was visible above this shining host ; 'that they moved in a northern direction, -and colleaedj , abOut the top of the Chimney llock. Wheti:all but a few had reaCh;- eci,said rock, two seemed. terri se together, and' be hind them about two feet, a third ruse. These three moved with great agility 'towards, the crowd, and had the nearest resemblance - to' men of any 'before seen. . While beholding those three, her eyes 'were attraeied by three more, rising nearly from the , same place, and moving swiftly in the same . order and reCtion. After these, several others rose and- went towards the rock.- • •During this view, which all the speEtata - S thought lasted upwards of an hour, she sent for-Mr. Robert Siercy, who, did not come at first ; on a. second-ales sage sent about fifteen minutes,after, the first, Mr. Siercy came, and being now before us, he gives -the following. relation, to ,the substance of which Mrs. Reeves : agrees. . Mr. Siercy said,' when he was coming he ex.pee . ted to see nothing extraordinary, and when conte.,.,being asked if he saw those people on the mountain" ) , he answered, no ; but upon looking a second times' he said he saw more glittering white appearances of human kind than ever he had seen 'of men at any oeneral review ; that they were, of , all- sizes, from ''that of men to infants ; that they moved in throngs round a large r9ck, not far from the Chimney ,Rock; they:were . abcfat the height of the Chimney Rock, and moved in a serni-circular course, between him and' the rock, and so passed .along in a southern course between him and the mountain to the place Where Mrs. Reeves said they rose ; and .that two of a full size Went before the geneval crowd about the Space of twenty yards; and as they respectively 'came to this place, they vanished out of sight, leav ing a solemn, and pleasing impression on the mind, accompanied with a diminution 'of bodily strength.. Whether the above be accountable on philosophi cal principles, or whether it be a prelude to the descent of the Holy City, I leave to the impartially curious to judge. GEORGE NGWTON. P.S. The above subscriber has been informed, that on the same evening, and about the same time in which the above phenomenon appeared, there was seen by a Gentleman of charaaer, who was several miles distant cram the place, a bright rain-bow, al), parently near 'the sun, then in the west, where there , was no appearance of either clouds or rain, but a hate in the atmosphere. The Public are, therefore, at liberty*to judge, whether the phenothenori had 'ziny; thing supernatural in it, or whether it was some usual exhalation 'or moist vapour from the . side of the mountain, which exhibited such an unnsu i ll rain-bow.
