COURT Of KING'S BENCH, Warrmitastti,

FainAy, Orman' ld.

Defore tie LORD Cs lir Jurrics cud Conn°ls Juries.

FAGG D. DAY.

Mr. SCARLETT st.irti, that this was an action to
recover etriiiiiesis•iion in thinaiger lur • lass sustain-
ed by the Plaintiff, arising horn the Defendant's
negligence in not exerci,i. g proper cure and skill
nis profess;roi of an attorney. The Defessdint
was employed by oh.. Kola:lf NS his slisiriiry
in conducting the 112411• C of Fagg to Sher-
win and another, elecniors of iscinion,
rd," which noose I‘,.nt the following circum-
stances:—The Plaintiff having purchased • free-
hold property in St. loines'ir,Clerkeiro•ll,respectilig
the title to which the Drressrlant was consulted,
awl after the purchase had been completed, • e
hail occasion to bring an action against the lessee in
possess. (Mr. Jackson, since dead) ; the Defend-
ant carried the cause to trial, and he (%lr. Scarlet')
being then Counsel for the Defendants in that ac-
tion, felt hipself sn entirely at the mercy of the
Plaintiff, that be offered •rry terms of compromise
to hie Learned Friend (Mr. Ildurryatt), who was
third rhyme other aide; but he. conceiving his case
P. strong, refuwd them, and the cause went on till
they ...muse to the point of proving the will of one
%Yahoo. under which his client claimed, and
then it turned out that the will produced in evi-
dence, instead of bring the will of Walton,
mode in 1776, was another will made is 1784,
which had MI relation Whatever to the property in
quesiion. sad the consequence was, that the Plain-
tiff was immediately (portioned. This mischief re.
suited entirely from the neglect of rhe Defendant.
whose duty it was to have seen with his iron eyes
that documentary proof on which the fare of the
cause entirely turned. The least damages which
his client ought to receive, appeared to him to be
the amount of the coats of that day, and the De-
fendasit's own charges relative to the ruin, including
the experwe since incurred to get the cause replaced
oil die roll fur trial. It might lw that hereafter the
Plaintiff would be obliged to go further. for the
estate itself, for which • tonsiderable sum of money
lied been paid, he alight be dispossessed of by the
twin at law, if the original will of Walton could
not be produced, and fur thut also be would have a
claim on the Defendant.

The evidence was then portly gone into. when
The CHIEF JUSTICE expressed his opinion that
it was the duty of the Solicitor to have gone to the
Commons and ascertained the existence of the will
of %Vsltga. MS Lordship suggested whether it
would not be better for the Dekudant to accom-
modate the matter.

Mr. SC/ MATT, after consulting his client, ex-
p d hi. readiness to accept the terms which he
had stated to the Jury, as the lowest amount of da-
mom to which, in his opinion, his client would bt
outitltd.

LIBEL

CHARLES PRICE, GENT. v. JOHN PRICE, GENT.

Mr. SCSltLtrirT stated the caw to the Jury. The
parties were hods gentlemen, 'list ia, atto►neys-at-
law, stied, in addit►uu, were both metiers of the pin-
cipality of Wale., •std practised ut the same town
of A bergovenny. It might be objected as a hard-
ship that this cause should be brought here fur trial;
but the Defendant could least of all make such a
complaint, or, if the rause had been tried in (Vales,
he would not have lied 'l►e advantage of the splen-
did talents of his learned friend (the Sulicotor-Ge-
pellet) which he had now secured. But he most
also observe, that the Defendant was, besides bei'ig
an attorney. a surveyor-general of the assessed
taxes, tin office of great taunter, which was one
reason for bringing the cause here for trial. The
action was for • libel. The Plaintiff was concerned
as attorney for a poor man, named Mayor, who sued
informal paiperis, in which the present Defendant
was also Defendant, and, the charge being fur false
imprisonment, one of the allegations of Mayo► was,
that the Defendant took inn before a mage.tr•te
seven or eight miles off, who was between eighty
and ninety years of age, to whom he was clerk,
although there were magistrates residing in the
town. He (Mr. Scarlett) did not meats to go into
the particulars of that case ; ell that he inenteoned
it for was, to ►hew that the wit which the
Plaintiff had subpirmied were properly subpoenaed.
The Defendant then sent to the Plaintiff the libel
complained of by his clerk ; it was to the shape N tad
form of a notice, and ran thus:—" In the King's
Bench. Mayor ag:uost Price. I filed you have
subpoenaed the Rev. Mr. Powell, and other per-
sons, whose testimony can't be material, with a
view and hope of picking my pocket of coats should
you succeed. hut I doubt you will not get a ver-
dict, unless you and your clerk, or pupil. shall
swear pretty stoutly againat use." The libel then
went on to give him leerier, that he should object
to the expense of such witneows being allowed on
the taxation of costa. Such was the notice, and
certainly it was not one common in this part of the
world ; whether they were usual in Wales the Jury
would hear in the course of the cause. The
Learned Counsel then proceeded to call his wit-
nesses.

Mr. Hurd stated that he wag present with the
Plaintiff wheu the libel was biought to him by his
clerk.

Mr. Keen stated that he was clerk to the Plain.
tiff in February hat. He rtceived the notice from
the Defendant's clerk ; it was folded up, but Hot
sealed. The body of the notice he thought was
the hand-writing of the Defendant's clerk; the
signature was the haud•writing of the Defendant.
Ou his creas•ezatoivatiuu by the Soumos.

GENERAL. he said liE had n.ll real the notice
-before -Ile carried it ter Ilk Manta.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICK—" Where is corer
evidruce of publication; Mr. Si:Jrlt tt ?"
Mr. ScaaLETY saitl, the libel wit written by
some ',moo io the Ueletirlaiii'll office, and he had
put Ina name to it nod aria it by
The LORD CHIEF JUStICE--" But you have
not got hint here to say that he read it."
Mr. SCARLET? submitted. that there was auffi-
Mega evideisce of publication to go to the Jury.
The Lunn CHIEF .110.TICE—"I certainly shall
not noniron yon; but I kuo, what yon ought to do
on both soder, and that iP, with4l,tos a Joior."

Mr. SC•RLETT said, trader his Lordship's recom-
mrialatioii, war Willing to .1.

The Lotto CNrp Jurfice.,-`, I c.-rtainly do not
approve the Defendant's condtict, It was r very
indecornus thing for hint to (In."
The SOLICITOR-GENEILAI. acceded to the pro-
po.al is wiihdrast aJnenr. He said, the Defendant
had acted iu a mouseut of irritation, cud wail curry
fur it.

A Juror was accordingly oria hdrawn.
COOK O. DELL.

Mr. SCARLETT stated, that the Plaintiff in this
case was an engraver., stbmie uncle died in 179-2.
leaving certain mister.; to which the Plaiutiff
imagined himself to be entitled, and learning from
an advertisement that the Defendant, Henry
Nugent Bell, whose name was affixed to a publics.
lion respecting the Huutingdoo Peerage, was the
cleverest man in the world for the prosecution of
such affairs, he went to him at his house in the
Adelphi, and stated his case. The Defendant en-
couraged Imo to expect not only the recovery of she
estates. but also a peerage. Ou she following day
the PI • ff received a letter from loin. in whit h
he stated his willingness to be concernsd, bit
d.-
sired to have SOL in advance., because " barrier's
could not bring actions for their fees," and he had
already Inst much from that Mobility. The wilier
goes on to state, is I shall first peruse and take ex-
tracts from your uncle's will, and after that a
pedigree mast he compiled to shew your affinity to
your deceased uncle, according to the law of de-
seems and genealogy. I could not for leas than
Sol. draw oat such a pedigree." Mr. Smitten said
lie had heard that it was u wise son who knew his
own father; but he supposed the diffi.:iilty was
greater in the case of node and nephew. from the
Defendant's demand of 501. fur proving it. But
what the pedigree could have to do with the re-
covery of the uncle's estates he could not divine.
The Cam JUSTICE—" I take it for grunted this
man is not a Barrister."

Mr. Scast.are said he believed he was not ; he
had never heard of him as one. The Plaintiff, es-
Wended by the imposing words " infinity"—
"
descents"-." genealogy," &c. procured the 30/.
from • friend of his. maimed Woodburn, and it wus
paid to the Defendant. That *um was exhausted
a short time, and he applied to the Plaintiff for a
j,,terther supply " to carry ou the war ;" sod he stated
is steersl terms that the 30/. had been expeoded
in Gazettes, newspapers, tire, stamps, ukesssges,
attendances on Plaintiff tend his frirod, and et Duc•
tore' Cealllollo, Wu' 13earge Noyleea, itc.•
and concluded with recoesting soother 100!. on
account. After some hesitation the Plaintiff's
friend, Mr. Woodburn, advanced the money. and
the farther sum of 100/. wee paid to the Defendant,
who shortly after went to Ireland, and on his return
the Plaintiff and his friend mated on him, when he
said there were so many dlEculties in the way
that he would not advise their priareerling any
further. He bud furnished • bill to the Plain-
tiff, which he (Mr. Scarlett) now had in his hand.
He had heard much of attorneys said doctors'
bills, but this exceeded every thing of the
kind. He would nut trouble the Jury with
much of it, but he would read one or two of the
charges, as a specimen a the rest :—" Attending
you end your friend, Mr. Woodburn, to Doctors'
Commons, ',erelong, sod afuerwerds examining
several volumes 4.f the Gentleman's Magazine,
3/. 3'. Mr. Johnson having some information cots-
cerning your late uncle—waiting on Mr. Wood-
burn, to caution him against letting him hare any
money without being well assured of receiving an
equivalent, 2/. 2.." So that here was three gui-
neas charged for reading the Gentleman's Map.
eine; and two guineas for a piece of advice which
would have been worth the money, had it been
given end followed belore the Plaintiff paid the
150/. to the Defendant fur his ossistanee, in • cave
where, if he were the mass lie stated himself to be,
he must know the grounds were fallacious, end to
recover beck this motley .0 übtriutd, the Plaintiff
now brought his action. _ _

Mr. Saneurl Woodburn was then culled nod
examined. His evidence proved the facts suited by
Mr. Scarlet t.

Neither Barrister nor Attorney appearing to de-
fend, Alr. SCARLIITT said he did not think it ne-
cessary to go furthe►, a• (hr onus lay on the other
side. to *hew that something had been done for the
money rto-tred
The CHILI, JUSTICE observed, that it was im-
possible to say that teuthing had been done.
Mr. SCARLETT said they had no objection to
make a reiniumible allowance.

The Jury then, under the direction of hie Lord-
ship, found ai verdict for the Plaiutiff—Datusges,

A Special Vestry was held on Wednesday in Bow
Church, to consider of the propriety of reviving
the harmony of the beautiful ring of bells iii the
tower of that church. 'flue Churchwardens sod
Overseers strenuously opposed the proposition. on
the ground of the vibration endangering the tow• r.
There is said to he a crack in the principal melt
which sustains the ►pire. end the vibration of the
bells is, by many, believed to enlarge it. 011ie's,
however, are of r different opinion, and, slier a very
emulated discustiori. the lovers of bell.tiii4mg car-
ried the point by s majority of 20 against 16. Very
shortly after this decision the bells were put in aim
lion, end the peal was kept up till near eleven o'clock.
