HOUSE OF LORDS.

ISTING r. MANNINO.—INSURANCE OF A SHIP—VALUED
POLICY on Isnentorv.—The arguments on this writ of
error, begun on Wednesday, were now brought to a con-
clusion. The facts of the case and the question raised on
them have been already reported in this journal. The argu-
ment. of Sir F. Kelly and Mr. Setjeant Channell, for the
insurance companies, were that insurances are contracts for
indemnity, and, therefore, although the insurance in this
case was on the full value of the ship, 17,5001., still as there
was not an absolute but constructive total lose, the owners
were not entitled to recover for more than the actual loss. If
a ship had been absolutely lost, they admitted the owners
I had a right to sue for the full value as found at the date of
the policy, but if there was only a partial loss they could
only claim to be indemnified. The arguments of the
Attorney General and Sir F. Theeiger, for the shipowners,
were to the effect : The principle to be collected from all the
cases on this subject was, that the full amount for which the
ship was insured was recoverable upon an abandonment of •
ship as in case of a total loss. The very abandonment im-
plied a total lose. It was not the actual value, or the actual
lees, that constituted the rule, but the valued policy ; and the
underwriters having executed the policy and received the
premiums upon the value stated were bound to pay the
owners the full value stated in the policy, and not according
to any new valuation after abandonment of the ship. Where
there was a valued policy, the rule of common sense was to
pay the whole value in cue of total leas, without dispute.—
The Lord Chanceilor put questions to the judges as to whe-
ther the facts stated on the record entitled the plaintiff in
error, or the defendant, to judgment.—The judges got time
to form their opinions.
REPTOI4 v. HOWSON.— PIEBEND.—QUESTION WHE-
THER A CLERIC APPOINTED THERETO 18 ENTITLED TO
THS INCOME THAT ACCRUED DURING THE PRECEDINO
VACANCY.—This was also a writ of error upon a judgment
of the Exchequer Chamber, and was argued in the presence
of the learned judges. The facts were these • The Rev. Ed.
ward Repton, who had been chaplain to the House of Com-
mons previous to the year 1838, was in November of that
year appointed by the crown to a canonry or prebend in the
Cathedral Church of Westminster, which canonry had been
vacant since the death of Dr. Ryder, Bishop of Lichfield, in
1836. Mr. Hodgson, the defendant in error, had been before
that time appointed treasurer to the Commissioners of Queen
Anne's! Bounty, and in that character he received the pro-
fits of the said canonry during the vacancy, and held in his
hands 2,9501., being the net profit* which accrued for the
period; between Dr. Ryder's death and the appoint-
ment of the plaintiff. The plaintiff made a demand
of that sum on the defendant, who in reply stated,
that •he was prevented complying with the de-
mand by a clause in the act 3 and 4 Vic., e. 113. Other
demand. for the said cum were made*. the defendant by the
Dean of Westminster, for the repairs of the collegiate
church, and by the treasurer of the church of St. Peter, for
a like purpose. The plaintiff then brought an action in the
Court of Queen's Bench against the defendant for money
had and received to his (plaintiff's) use. That action was
tried in 1844, and, upon a special verdict found, the Court of
Queen's Bench gave judgment for the plaintiff, which judg-
ment was reversed by the Court of Exchequer Chamber, and
• new trial ordered. It was upon this last judgment
that the present writ of error was brought. The question
turned on the construction to be put on several acts of
parliament, constituting and continuing the ecclesiastical
commissioners of England and Wales from the act 5 & 6 W.
IV., c. 20, " for protecting the revenues of vacant eccle-
siastical dignities, prebends, &c., during the pending in-
quiries respecting the state of the established church," down to
the 3rd and 4th Vic, before mentioned. Mr. Martin and Mr.
Ellis were for the plaintiff in error; the Attorney-General and
Mr. H. Hill contra. The Lord Chancellor, at the close of
the argument, put questions to the judges for the purpose of
obtaining their opinion on the question in the cause. Time
was given to the judges to consider their answers.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
Nut rms.—Before Mr. Janice veightanan.
THE QUEEN D. RAMBEY.—This case WY resumed yes.
terday morning, and the witnesses for the defence called.
James Jones, one of the churchwardens of St. Michael's,
was present at the meeting at Mr. Meaning's, and stated
that Mn. Emerson, in a private room, made a statement to
Mr. Manning and himself without apparent reluctance, but
boldly. She made the same statement in the public room.
She denied having ever given Mr. Ramsey encouragement,
and said if he had paid the 251., she would not have made
the charge. He bore testimony to Mr. Ranisey'scharacter.
Thomas Phillipson, another churchwarden, said that on
the 9th of Jan., Emerson told him he knew nothing of the
letter written by his wife. At the meeting, on Monday, he
also denied any 'knowledge of it. Mrs. Emerson repeated
her charges at the meeting at Mr. Manning's. She was cool
and bold and collected, and said if the 251. had been paid,
she would not have sent the letter.
Frederick Manning, attorney fee the defendant, said that
at the meeting at his office Mrs. Emerson resisted his appli-
cation to explain her charge, and with difficulty he induced
her to make it in a private room, which she did, in com-
pany with Mr. Jones and himself. She limited the aquae
to three. She afterwards, on his requiring her, made the
same statement publicly ; she did so with some reluctance.
She said if the 251. had been paid, she should not have sent
the letter. He also spoke to Mr. Ramsey's high character.
Martha Ward, pew-opener, was in the church at the
time of the alleged tumult in the vestry, and could
have heard any now there. Mrs. Emerson once told her
she did not like to go into the vestry alone with the defend-
ant. Mrs. Emerson told her she presented Mr. Ramsey with
• turkey, and always spoke in high terms of him.
Elizabeth Ward, daughter of last witness, remembered a
bible presented to Mr. Ramsey on his birthday ; and, after
that, Mrs. Emerson told her that she had given purees to
him, sod spoke of his kindness to her. She was a servant of
Mr. Ramsey's ; never saw any impropriety in his conduct.
Thos. Wood, clerk of the church, proved he could hear
noise in the vestry in the church. Mrs. Emerson never made
any complaint to him.
Alexander Smart was engaged by Emerson to sing in the
choir of this church, and was dismissed by Mr. Jones ; never
signed a written engagement with Emerson, but he sent
one signed by himsdf.
James Clark, organist at the church, said, in July, 1845,
Mrs. Emerson told kim Mr. Ramsey kissed her in the
vestry and that she had told her husband, who said he did
not think the worse of Mr. Ramsey for it ; never saw any
impropriety in Mr. Ramsey. She also said he had behaved
improperly to her at her own house, and this before the dis-
missal of the choir. He considered it a slander, and there-
fore never named it to any one.
Henry Walker knew Mrs. Emerson. She told him that
Mrs. Ward had told her that Mr. Ramsey bad slept one
night with her and another with her daughter. It was be-
fore Christmas she said this.
W. Brathwaite, one of the choir, said, that Mrs. Emerson
several times told him that she was passionately fond of Mr.
Ramsey, and adored the ground that he trod on ; that he
had kissed her in the vestry, and her husband knew all
about it, and laughed at it ; but he (witness) was not to say
anything about it, as he would be offended witk her. She
said she could do anything with Joseph Manning, and bad
been out with him for a week together. He was a singer at
Drury-lane and Covent-garden. He never went to church
tipsy ; was once tipsy on a Saturday night, and therefore did
not go to the church the neat day. He told Mr. Jones of it
about November of last year, i• order to show what sort:of
character he had got in the choir.
Daniel M'Cormick, beadle of the church : Knew Mrs.
Emerson. Onthe 28th January she sent for him toe beer-
shop in a court in the Strand, and asked him if he remem-
bered seeing Mr. Ramsey take liberties with her in the res.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1847.

by his memorandum, had taken an assignment of the lease
made to the plaintiff by the lessor, Jones. Mr. Burney,
centra.—The agreement was for only two years wanting one
day, which one day, clearly showed that the defendant was
only to be liable for the period of hie agreement. The
learned under.shcriff wee or opinion that the plaintiff was
entitled to recover of the defendant such sum as the original
lessor, Jones, would have been entitled to have received of
the present plaintiff. The defendant bad by his agreement
taken upon himself the provisions in the lease, not only for
the term of his occupancy, but (or the whole period of the
lease. The jury gave a verdict for M. 125., allowing for
the sum in court.
