COVE.T OF KING'S BENCH, WE:STMINSTEIt, J. a 11.

Ex torte UMW,.
This was an application to the Court to strike the
name of Thomas K. Bamber, Gentleman, Attor-
ney, off the roll of Attorneys of this Court.
It appeared upon the affil wits, that Bamber,
who was an Attorney, residing in Cornwall, had
affixed, of caused to be signed, the name of a person
to an affidavit, as a Commissioner for taking affi-
davits, when, upon inquiry, it was found that no
such person was in existence.
Mr. Serjeant Ps AEU offered a few observations
on the part of the Attorney, that the transadion
was one of a long standing ; the parties had not
suffered any thing by it, and the Attorney had
made every atonement in his power. He, there-
fore, hoped their Lordships would not follow up
the punishment, further than striking his name off
the roll, which, he admitted, must be done.
Lord ELL EN Boacmcn said, that as nothing more
had been prayed for by the party making the appli-
cation, the Court would not do more than strike
him off the roll, which his Lordship accordingly
direded.

KNAVP V. SLAYII•ICIR.
Mr. ERSKINt moved to enter a nonsait in this
cause. It was an action upon a Bill of Exchange,
tried at Guildhall, the last sittings.
The defence was, !aches on the part of the Plain-
tiff as the holder, in not giving the regular notice
of non payment to the Defendant as the drawer;
but the sheriff's Officer proved, on the trial, that
when the DaCendant was arrested, he acknowleged
the debt, which being colesidered as a waiver of
notice, a eel dia was had for the Plaintiff.
Mr. ERSKINE stated, from several affidavits, a
denial of that charge ; and, on the contrary, it was
sworn by several witnesses in those affidavits, that
they, in presence of the officer, offered to give secu-
rity for the debt a but the Defendant, so far from
acknowledging the debt, positively refused them,
declaring be would stand on his defence.
Court.—" Take a Yule to shew cause."
cr.aette v. GREY.
This was an action against the Proprietors of the
True Britus stage coach, for the value of a hoz be-
longing to the Plaintiff, which was lust by the negli-
gence of the Defendant's servant.
This case was tried at Guildhall in 1802, and the
Plaintiff obtained a verdia for 51. The question
was, whether the Defendant: were liable for more
than the :A. inasmuch as they given notice to the
public by a board, which hung up in the coach-
office, that they would not be accountable for any
packages above the value of 51. which were not en-
tered and paid for as such.
Mr. MARTATT, us a very ingenious argument,.
contended that this notice was not a variation of the
contract of the carrier, but a limitation of damages
in case of the failure of such carriage, which by law
could not stand, and the Plaintiff was entitled to re-
cover the full value of the loss sustained.
Mr. Hoesovo, on the other side, arguPd for a
nonsuit, inasmuch as it was not averred in the de-
claration that the Defendant cantraEled to carry the
goo_ls safely and s-curely.
The Court, considering it a question of cnnsidvr-
abe importance, deferred astir judgment to a tit-
turu day.

YIIK KIND LO!;DON WPT DOCK COMPANY
This was a rule obtained last term for a manda-
NMI to the London \Vet Dock Company, directing
them to apply for A warrant to the Sheriff, for the
• purpose of impanneling a Jury to asses: compensa-
' Lion to John Watkins for certain premises belonging
to him, of which the Company sought the possession.
Mr. EP:KINK, on the part of the Company,
showed cause against this rule, It appeared from
the affislavits, that Watkins had held the premises
in question tinder lease, whici had expired in Mid-
summer 15(;2 ; that the Company had purchased
from the original landnolder, and allowed NVatkins
to keep possession as tenant from year to year.
Messrs. G A Raow and Goat:, v, on the other side,
contended, that under the at of parli :trent Wat-
kins had a right to compensation for the injury he
would sustain, as much as if he were a regular
Itenant ; he was a considerable glass merchant, sod
mast suffer very great damage in the removal of
1 his goods, &c. all which cases were provided for
1 under the act.
Lord Et Latino:tow:m-10 He may have a loss,
perhaps, but can sustain no injury. The London
Dock Company have a capacity as purchasers, and
are in the situation of all other lanaords : the pos-
session is in them, and the possession is cast upon
them ; they have given sufficient notice, and have
exercised no right but what as landlords they are
entitled to: I do not see therefore any right in
thus person to claim compensation from them."—
Rule discharged.

The King of Sweden, informed that His Majesty
die King of Prussia had sent the Order of the black
Eagle to the Emperor of the French, immediately
sent back the badges of that order, which the father
of the present King of Prussia had given him, while
yet a child, as a proof of his friendship for his father.
The King of Sweden, in returning this order to.the
King of Prussia, declared to him that there being in
• all points an great a distance between him and the
Fniperor Napoleon. it was impossible that they
should find themselves in the same order. The
King of Prussia, at first indignant at such condoef,
said, with a smile—" I am concerned for my cousin

eyes of Europe and of posterity this is the most

MILAN, MAY 27.
CJR3NATI:)N OF TFIE LING 01. I I'ALY.
Yesterday, the ceremony of the Coronation of
the King of Italy, was performed with the greatest
pomp, and the most imposing grandeur. The
fineness of the weather, the serenity of the sky, and
the Splendour of the son, conutbated to render this
solemnity most brilliant.
At h ilf-past tt, her Majesty the Empress, pre-
ceded by her Imperial Higiaiscsa the Princess Eliza,
repaired to the Cathedral, along a gallery elegantly
adorned, and was concluded under the canopy to
her Tribune, amidst the livrfiest applause. At
o'clock, his Majesty the Emperor and King left the
palace by the same gallery, wearing upon his head
the Imperial Crown and that of Italy, holding in
his hands the sceptre, and the hand of Justice of
the kingdom, and clothed with the Royal mantle,
carried by the twts Grand Gentlemen of the horse.
Ills Majeuy was preceded by the hussars, the He-
ralds at Arms, the Pages, the Aides•de-Canto, the
Masters of the Ceremonies, by the Grand Master
of the Ceremonies, by seven ladies carrying
offerings, by the honours of Charlemagne, of the
Empire and of Italy, carried by the grand officers of

fore him, and, atter a speech, in which he tendered
the homage of his clergy, conduded his Majesty un-
der the canopy to the sanduary. The Emperor
seated himself in the chair, upon a throne, having
upon his right the honours of the Empire, upon
his left those of Italy. The honours of Charle-
magne were at the entrance of the saniluary, in

tions, the Grand Officers of Italy laid tipon the

The Emperor then went to the foot of the altar to
receive from the hands of the Archbishop the rit,g,
the mantle, the sword, which he delivered to his
I Fghzess Prince Eugene, tire sceptre, and the hand
of justice ; and finally he ascended the altar, and
took the Crown of Iron. Placing it on his head
with &fiance, he said, in a loud voice, these re-

=Likable words—Dieu we la donne, ~are a gsi 14
loarat l " God gee il to wt, ta4e erre wku laarata it."'
Haring then laid' this Crown upon the altar, he
took that of Italy, and placed it upon his head,
amidst thunders of applause from the speaators.—
• Alter this ceremony, the Emperor proceeded by the
same procession, crossed the church, teceiving at
every step numerous and lively acclamations. Ills
