wife's property. the Bill prayed, tha! the rourt-

property was for the sale and separate use of the
wife, independent of her cuverture, and not stsbjea
to her linsband's liens or conic-46s ; and on the same
ground, it wis prayed, and granted, by motion,
that she should be separately examined, contrary to
entb:nonly received notion. the* a wife cannot tie
examined for oi against the rights of her husband,
in a civil snit, bur in criminal suits, except for high
treason. The husband has faikd, and the mode of
examining the wife in this case is by a commission,
to be executed in the county where she is ; but no
decree could be granted for her examination, as no
examination of hers appeared before the Court.
nor any writin under her hand. autbotis ag her
Trustees to senor mortgage the lands which were
settled to her use for life.

His Honour stated, that this matter rested ec.

to prove the transafhon,s.—Motion granted.

AYILS V. •nYACHt.

This was an aetion brought by a shipwright
against the contain of a Venetian ship cAlteJ the
Novella, to recover .57c1. 16s. for repairs done to her,
under the kiiiedti.ms of thi Defendant.

It appeared that the vessel was the property of
Mr. Vivami, of VeJce, and soon after her
repairs. the States of. Venice becoming the
property of France, she was accordingly li-
belled in the Court of Admiralty as enemy's
property. While she was ender repairs in the
etaiiitiff's dock, the Defendant, as Commander,
sweierintended the repairs, and bei.:g a foreigner,
and wholly unacquainted with the Ecglis:s language,
he was'obiigei to give his direaioni through inter-
preters. He represented himself to be hal:- iwner of
the ship, and the Plaintiff accordingly commenced
this a&ion against him in that character.
Mr. SCAhLET. for the Defendant, endeavoured
to chew, by evidence, that his Clew was on more
than Captain of this vessel; that Mr. Vivanti, at
Venice, was the sole Owner, and had consigned
her to a Mr. Lisvi, of this city, who alone was re-
sponsible for the amount of the repairs. It ap-
peared, however, that although Mr. Levi was the
Consignee of the ship. he (Ably gave authority for
repairs to the amount of 601. and even this respon-
sibility was done away by the subsequent a 3 of the
Defendant ; who, being confined in Nesvgate. for
this and other anions, had sent a Circular Letter to
all his Creditors, proposing to dispose of the ship,
in order to di.zharge their demands, thereby ac-
knowledging that he had the power of selling the
ship. Upon'these grounds, the Jury found a Ver-
di& for the Plaintiff, for the whole amount of the
repairs, 5571. 161.

14 x ni
I'lai is a c acomait. ani driver of the
Edni ,noon coach, and thc tletentlant a considerable
merchant of this ci:y. The :acme-, on his return
nume, was in the !•i'iit csrryivg the newspapers
from London, to t'ie Anizel tru, at Edmonton; ands
in conseqnence cot some compiaints made by the
gentlemen %his SrequetoLed the house, respediug the
irregularity of tfeir netespaperi, he was instructed
not to deliver them on hi; return from town, into any
hands hut these of the landlord nr landlady. It
happene.i, in the month of January, I dfni, on
h.s atm.l at the Angel, that the Defendant de-
m indei etai new:papor from him ; but this (at.
cot ding to his ouict .) he refused, and imme-
diately carried it to Mrs. [inlet L. the landlady.
Übe Detenchint m-t him on his return, strutle
him a violent blow in the stomach and spit in his
two:, a :ccAnpAnyifig this s duration with the most
abusive language. The coathman, enraged at such
treatment, stripped off his coat, and offered its fight
him fair, as a geutlem in, and in the heat of his irri-
tation, returned his salute with a hearty blow or
two. Very soon after, the Defendant preferred an
indictment against the Plaintiff. and had him ar-
rested under a Judges (Lord Elleoborough's) war-
rant for an assault. The arrest took place at Ed.
mouton on a Saturday, and toe Defendant was ap-
plied to by the bailiffs to Lwow what ehey *mid
do. His instructions were, that the Plaintiff should
be immediately carred to gaol, and should not be
released upon any thing less than substantial bail.
Two hiends of the Plaintiff offered, at the time, to
become bad for him ; bat they were rejeded, and
he was carried to use Poultry Compeer, where he
remained a prisoner until the following Monday,
when he was handed over to the Marshal of the
King's Bench, who enlarged him upon the under-
taking of his Attorney. In the mean time, and
previous to the ti ial of the indictment, the Plaintiff
([.,sacs) brought a civil action against the Defend-
ant, tor an assault, and recovered 501. damages and
cols. The-indictment was called on to be tried
the followtag term, and no person appearing tor
the prosecution, the present Plaintiff (then, Defend-
aht) was acquitted. Upon that occasion he was put
to the expenseof 511. and on these grounds brought
the Kazan adion.
The AT VORNEY•G . for the Defendant,
observed, that, on truth, his client having received
a blow from the lusty fist of a coachman, conceived
that he had a right to indict him for an assault In
the moan time, the present Plaintiff brought his
anion, and recovered 501. damages. and the De-
fendant finclino he could not support his India-
meat, did not 'follow it up, and this was the whole
story of the malicious prosecution. For his (the
Attorney-General's) own part, they appeared to
be a couple of blackguards quarrelling together ;
oni party stripped off his coat to fight sike a gen-
tleman, as be called it, and gave the other a blow
in the bread-basket. and an indictment followed.—
The question, therefore, was, whether the Jury
could say this was a malicious prosecution t The
coachman had already recovered .501. damages,
and he trusted the Jury would think he had been
fully remunerated, and that nominal damages would
satisfy the justice of this case.
Lord Ect.ensomousn observed, that the evi-
dence of malice, on the part of the Defendant,
appeared by his procuring a Judges' Warrant for
the arrest of this man; has accompanying the bai-
liffs to Edmonton, and his subsequent conduct. The
Jury had nothing to do with the damages in the
civil action, except so far as it chewed, that Flower
had no pretence to consider himself the injured
patty ; fir. in fat, lie was the first egnessar. fhe
coachman, roused by the insult, asked him, in his
natural rough way, to fight like a man. Haman
Nature will not always brook too degrading an in-
sult, such as spitting in a mars face. Hot Lord
ship continued, you will, therefore, Gentlemen,
take into your consideration the actual expense the
Plaintiff had been put tp by th,s prosecution ; and
you will also take into your consideration has anxiety
in being arrested and confined in the manner he has
b-en, and the inceamamience attending it, by the
interruption of his business."
