UNDERWRITER!

it has been already mentioned, that serne of the
U.idcrwtiters belunging to Lloyd's Cofee-hose
have subjefted themselves to penalties, for kaviog
used, in their policy transaftions. slips of nnstamped
paper, instead of the policy itself, when the kuei
could not be obtained.

A meeting of the Merehants, Underwriters, and
Brokers, tools place on Monday at the Colfee•ttons:,
to consider of the best means of concluding their be.
siness in future, without violating an Al of Pattie.
went provi.ted its this case. After some discussions,
it was resolved, " That a Committee be appointed
to confer with the Commissioners of the Scam?.
Office, and any one of His Majesty's Ministers, as to
the most eligible mode of promoting the objea they
had in view." It was also agreed. that the Com-
mittee should call on such Gentlemen as they
thought proper. to aid and assist them.
It was well observed by a Gentleman at the meet.
'rig, that it would be a great hardship to incur a
penalty for using slips of paper, in cases where poll.
cies could not be procured, and when it was evident
that no fraud was intended on the revesue- On
t' !is account, we hope that no informer will be
enabled to recover in the seises; now
rsndint:offee. The Underwriters and Broke of Lloyd's
house have long been perplexed how to carry an their
business with facility, from the went of art immediate
st:pply of policies, when application has teen made
for them ; and it has frequently occhrredsillit they
could not be obtained after two dap notice.—
What was to be done. when a Broker received an
order from the country to insure any particular ves-
sel without delay. and no policy to be hadt The usual
mode was, to igree with the Underwriter reseeding
the terms for the risk, and miaow the same down en
a slip of pa per,ontil a policy could be procured, when
it was properly filled up. If. however, an account
of the ship's arrival. other being lust, was ascertained
in the interim, the slips of paper were considered as
binding by the parties. This was an expedient very
generally adopted, and similar means of dispatch
must now be found oft, or business will often remain
at a stand. or be attended with great incouvenience.
When a merchant hears of his vessel having pot to
sea. he is naturally anxious to be insured ; and if no
means can be devised to render him secure, without
the policy itself, it follows that measures ought to be
taken to have a constant supply of those instruments.
After all. the Underwriters and Brokers repine only
the same indulgences which the Offices of Inmate,
in general experience, to be allowed three days to
fill up a policy.

pol. and the question at issue was of the utmost
important:, to W, ot-India Planters, Merchants. and
ciders in
_general. The Appellants were Messrs.
in.nt Kirwan, and Matthew Kirwan, of Ritch-
.,,ort, Lime-urea, in the city of London ; the
orratents, Messrs. John Campbell and Francis

circumstences of the case are as follow
Netai. Ceambell and W 'tittle. in the month of
Vocal, 170, sent a quantity of sugars to Messrs
wan, ot London, for sale, and at the sante time
Oiaded them to in.we the cargo from sea rise. on
at voyage from the Havanna!' to London; they
?rap. ,sed at the same time, to draw upon them for
the Amount of the sugars, and expressed their
orguioe expeltations of obtaining a high prize.—
/boa. Kirwan made the insurance accord.
;c!)r, and notified the same to Messrs. Camp.
tail and Whittle, and informed them, that at
eat time the market in this critm:ry fa sugar
sir very fiat. In the September tottowine, they

iivorming them that their bills, to the amount,
would be honoured; but that still there was no ,tear
prospea of an advantageous sale In ouhs:Anent
lentil, in °Qatar 1799, and January tBOO, they
stated the inexpediency of disposing ot the sugars.
while the market still continued so low ; and Messrs.
Campbell and Whittle, in their answer, expressed
their satistaetion at their con 110, aild their grati-
tude for the care with which theie intereit had been
consulted. /deism. Kirwan deposited the sugar in

(;ire are frequently goads to the amount of 5.30,0001.
di-posited. In the month of July, Messrs. Kr.-
van insured the pr 'prim against fire for three
nths, without having received orders to that
nor did *they advise Messrs. Cainpbell and
%Vinyl,. of it, but in their account charged the
premiums. At the expiration of vas teree months,
the maact still continuing in sub a state as to
raider the sale unadvisable, more. Krwan fiat
mediae a rapid improvement of the market,
again, without orders, at their own discretion, in-
sured the sager for three months more ; at the ex-
piration of that paiod, via. about the end of Ja-
nary, a better prove& opening, and Messrs. Kir-
WA being info, med by their broker, that, so early
as the 7th of rebruary. a sale of H siannah sugars
VAS to take plate. and their's would then probably be
disposed of; they, in consequence, judged it inex.
palient to incur, for so short a time, the expense of
three months premium of insurance against ire ;
witortanately, however, on the 11th of kebruary,
a fire broke out in Lingiain's Warehouse, and the
sugar, and goads to all immense amount, were de-
stroyed. Messrs. Campbell and W,sittle, the Ap-
pellants, brought an theca in the Court of Jamaica,
against Mews. Kirwan, the Respond, nts, upon the.
vcand that they were bound to have continu .d the
insurance upon the pinkeity against fie, after its
arrival in England. 'the cause vies tried by a Sp-
dal Jury, aid they gave a wag' in tains: of the
Appellants for 60,2151 15s and costs.
Lard Ealenborough, the Muter of the Rolls. and
Htealey, were the Members of the Privy Conn-
:il who attended to bear and determine this import.
a:: cause.

The Attorney-General and Mr. Stevens attended
for the Appellants; and mr. ll ellas itad Mr. Scarlet
fur the Respondents. During the ati:a Ziscussion of
the question, the I: llow iog rmpor tan; points of L iw,
&e..with respell to trade, were laid delver; and
admitted t Toe Appellants having ailed entirely
from theil own discretion, and ti rte twit% no law
toobligethato to insure, or cusnon in toe trade to
that ehed, in insurins the property twice, when coo
shore, without lummox any orders to that effect,
Cory were not liable to the consrrciaence crt toe lire,
but were competent to aQ accor,:inii to their own
discretion.

The circumstances under a Consignee is
bound to iiisure property consigned to biro are as
1t iow;
Where a merchant ahroad his effeas in the band!
of his correspoiateat here, be has a right to expea
that be wilt filmy an order to insure, because he
is entitled to call his money out of other's hurls,
when and in what manlier •he pleases. The
second class of cases is, where a merchant abroad
has no effedi in Lie hands of his co:respondent ;
yet, if the course of the dealing between them is
such that the one his been used to send orders for
iiharances, and the other to comply with them, the
former has a right to expea that the orders for in.
surance will still be obeyed, unless the latter give
bin notice to discontinue this course of aealing,,—.
Thirdly, if rhe merchant abroad Bead bills of laaing
to his *we'll:lndent here, be may ingfaft nrixham
e• order to insure, as the implied condition on
which the bills of lading shall be accepted. which
the other must obey, it he accept them, Ins it is one
sertain trancattion. It there be no obligation to
into.., unless where these circumstances exist, even
where au order has been given, sorely, •
.forritors.
there can be none where no order has been given
t

The ease occupied their Lordships from ten
"'Clock till four, when, after mature deliberation,
their Lordships were pleased to reverse the vet slift
ot the Jury in Jamaica, thereby exonerating Messrs.
Lrwan from being liable to make good the damage
done by tire, they not having received any instruc.
Lions to that area.

This was an anion Wt. a Libel,
The Kelm& was a regrettable attorney, residing
at Ho'riven, 01 NI,I th Wales, and the Defendant a
Ceatlverran of some property in that ne;ghbourhood.
The Libel complained of, consisted of a letter and
wine conversations, in the course of wl.ich the De-
fendant asi.ersed the fair charader of the PLUaif ;
and it appeared, that upon one rarticulat (ICC A.
1101 While In ampany wan a Caouel Hughes, Athi

Me Wm. Williams, at the house of Mr. Lure, the
Defendant stated that the Plaintiff WAS employed to
transact business for a Mrs. liobarts, which he en-

he Afterwards made out a bill of costs against her

tosol. ; the Judges, at the same time, reprimand-
ing the Plaintiff for so extravagant a hill. The
Defendant further observed, that this was an exor-•
bitant and unjustifiable demand. This was ilsq
repeated by the Eiefendant in another company,
where he had been invited, and thus the report
spread abroad to his great injury and discre.
The falsity of these assertions being evi-
dent, it appeared farther, that the Plaintiff, at
the time the. original adtion was brought, was
only an Attorney belonging to the Court of Great
Sessions, in Wales, and laid the was in Middlesex I
when, upon applicatitin to the Court, on behalf of
the Defendant, it appearing that the transaCtion was
a local matter, and the parties alt living in Wales,
the veins was changed to the county in which the
transtCtion took place. The Plaintiff discontinued
th tt action, and, having previously procured him-
self to be made an Attorney of this Court, he
brought a second action, and laid the user in Mid-
, d,esex, bring then entitled.to do so, whereby the
Defendant was put to a very considerable expense,
in bring;ng Witnesses from Wales. It also appear.
od, that a Mr. Griffith Williams was the person who
informed the Defendant of the whole of this
tran.aetion. _

Lord ELLsasoitouoti thought, under these cir-
cumstances, the attion would much Letter hate been
brought against the person with whom the report
originated ; and his Lnrdsl)ip highly reprobated the
changing the verri. as it certainly was a case
wholly for the interference of a local jurisdiaion,
where • the patdes and circumstances were well
kritiwo ; at the lame time, be observed, that, as the
Plaintiff was an Attortity of th:tt Court (he world
not say far what momentary purpose he was so), te
had undoubtedly a right to • lay ilia oast in this
comity.
The Jury, after a short consultation, found a ye:-
diet of 101. damages for the Plaintiff: •

minster, and the Defendant was a mace-owner,
and proprietor of the hackhey-coach, No. I I, driven
at the tires the accident co;nplained of happened,
by a "cuachman of the name of Becket. In the
month of July last, about six o'clock is the cycling,
the Plaintiff seas driving his Wife and two infant
children in his one-horse-chaise, at a slow pace, along
the Camberwell road, and very near that village,
keeping at his own side of the road, when the
bckisey.coach in question, corning from Camber-
welhowkeds London, was driving at a Anjou; rate,
the coachman (Becket) being intoxicated, and
having a usage with his arms wand his neck on the
coach-box. As he came near the Plalotii, the.
Law raesivad his 4.11,4er, and .drew up to the
pathway as dose as he Wide t a ,withstanding
which precaution, the coachman crossed the road
and upset the Flaint:ff 's chaise, the hot se was throve n
down, the Plaintiff aad his w.fe were thrown out

vidential ',cape the younger of the c' it 'ran, ahnu,
twa years old; having only two ,if Met tech knocked

was most seriously injured. He fell upon Oil
head, and received such a concussion on the brain,
that it was upwards of a week beanie thr. htcuitt

On the part of the Defir.dant, the coachman
and some other peillollll were CAlkii, who endes•
Yount/ to chew. that the accident was entirely
owing to the unskilful driving of the Plaintiff, and
tbe unsourtdness of the timber which composed the
slut tt of his chaise ; but the feels appearing en-
tirely otherwise, the Learned Jousts, in summing
up the evidence to 'being, observed. there could be
no doubt as to the fads themselves; and the only
question was. as to the damages which they would

To state that the crowd was great this 43y, is al.

Mr. Sheridan in his speech of yesterday facetiously
denominated an Alas-like man, took,' an op-
portunity of shooing, that he wary equally
in Ajax in Mind, as an Ajax in body. and ad-
d d the F.leCtors in a short but- appropriate
speech, in which he alluded particularly to the sup-
port which his friend Mr. Sheridan had received,
and was yet likely to receiv*, from the ladies t an
allusion which received from the fair sex, as well as
from others assembled upon this occasion, universal
applanse. No one, respelled the naval service more
than he did, •tint he could not approve of a Naval
Officer standing a candidate for Westminster. He
had a son in the navy, and he had, at a Meting of
the friends of the N rble Lot& taken occasion to ask
a question, why that son, because lie was descended
from Catholic parents, was to. be deprived of an
opportunity of arriving to the high situation of an
Admiral, as well as any other individual engaged
in the naval service The answer which he had
received to this interrogatory, was such a one as he
might expel from those who encouraged the cry
of •" No Popery !" a cry which had now become
vulgar and detested. He had not yet got any la-
tisfaCtory answer, or such as•could convince him of
the propriety of such exclusions. He had all along
been as hutnble supporter M Mr. Fox, and whatever
influence he had, should ever be exerted in the sup.
port of liberty and universattoleration, in a. manner
consonant to his former firebugs. He was the first
man who witness►d the.inquiry into the Bastile. in
stituted by Skir Francis Burdett and Ms. Sheridan,
at a time when the rope was round the neck of
every honest man who had the hardihood to speak
the truth ; and he hid been-the brit man to tibli.h
the speech of Sir Francis Burdett at the Crown and
Anchor, in favour of liberty, the support of the
Constitution, and the dnwntall of tyranny. He
hated tyranny and anarchy, and he loved Mr. She-
Lin, because he loved liberty. ((Jr.,/ /arrears 4.61

The passage I am going to quote (continued Mr.
Sheridan) alwilys appeared to me to contain one of
the most sublinee and • beautiful 'sentiments- of
paternal "affertion ; I feel, that it would be' af.
tsiftation hi me not to sty of my son, that whether in
or out of pal liament, I would be proud to See him
respected. In the poems of o:eiad, a man of the
name of Mornee. who had a ion of the name et
Goal, looking to that son, says, .4 0 I that my
name was forgotten am ngst the people. and
that in beholding me the people might say, there
stands the father of Goal. Nothing could give
me more delight, than in the same manner to near
people say, then goes the father of: Traainas She. !
Wan. ( Hear ! bear I anti load acrldriations.)-.

that there is not a min living mo e sEettiohate

Three years ago I was in Scotland ; and I
