Tins was en actioe broth, tt Oy the Plaiptiff. Pro-
prietor of e Mass warehouse, against the Sherift of
Loodon, for unlawfully eeisiolt oust detaining his,
property, coorieting of certalli Antietam of giros, to
the amount of Mt. together with a vase, of die
valoe of 5161.
. The case was stated by Mr. Serjeant BEST. He
said, that the articles fur the seizure of which his
client had instituted the present action, could be
proved to be his own. The Sheriffs of London had
seised theta in his shop,as the property of the Doke
of Susses, whereas. the fact was, that they bid
been hired by his Royal Highness for a slug!e day,
at an entertainment he hail given in KellS,4loo
Palace. If this could be proved to the satisfaction
of the Court, he (Serjeunt R.) had no douht Oil
favourable verdict; he would therefore proceed to 4
the proof. .
Two persons in the Plaintiff's employment de-
poeed, that they bad conveyed the glass to Keu-
sington Polece ; that it was in their charge. es the
property of Mr. Collins ; that they had the posses-
sion of it, except at dinner. and that they after-
wards conveyed it back to its owaier again.
I r. Serjeant COCRELL (for the Defendant) stat-
ed. that the question certainly was, whether the ar-
ticles iii question were the property of the Duke of
Sasses or of the Plaintiff? If they belonged to the
Doke of Susses, his client was justified in the sei-
zure*, his Royal Highness beiii4 iiidebted to him to
• very cousidevable amount. The circumstance
which gave rise to she seizure was an account which
his chest had received of en entertainment given
by his novel Highness. at Kensington Palace,
which was riistingnished by a most brilliant service
of gins. He thought that by seizing upon this
Rises, he would reduce, in some measure. the Al..bt
of near 2.0001. due to him from his Royal Iligli-
nese. The Learned Counsel proceeded to consend,
that this service of glass was the property of the
t)uke of Sesser. It was ornamented in such a
mentser ea matte it only tit for Nololity ; it hail been
stated that it was borrowed for nparteular occasion.
•but he could prove circumstances sufficient to con-
vince them that it was a purchase. and not Is Isla. It
could nut be denied, that the glass was brought to
Kensington. Two servant+. of Mr. Colinas were
stated to have attended it there, as their master's
tiroperty ; but if they had delivered it into his
Royal Ilighoese's possession for live minutes, it

the betiding it beck seliii would not do nail the
delivery, and consequently not defeat the action.
The glass was taken to Kensington relater, hot it

but. because peeking eases were necessary, stud it

The eacnel is the meet useful to man of all qua-
drupeds. Hs possesses the celerity of the horse,

ende affords milk longer Cow the eon ; the )outig
