AO the total absence of all cases in Nippon of the
right claimed. k building such as a wharf or st
sway would be an obstructiou of the right, and
"here they interfered with the navigation they might
be, and hod beer., indicted ; but they had never
!hewn indicted as interfering with the common law
Aorta of bathing. The case of Begot awl Hoare
did nut, he thought, conclude the present question.
On au examination of the whole cave. he was of
opinion that no such right vitiated as claimed by
the Defendant. and therefore the judgnieut ought
to he fur the Plaintiff.
The LORD CHILI JUSTICI said he had coo.
sidered the ease wilh great attention, from the re-
spect which he entertained fur the opinion of his
Learned Brother, Best ;'but he considered that the
clam of Paul and Herbert spewed that the dictum
of Biecton, though warranted by the civil law, was
mot agreeable to the commis.' law of the kingdom.
The rights of lord. of manors most be protected,
and though this sort of property was of little value
to tire owners, yet that little would be much
diminialied if the right claimed by the Defendant
war established. 'll be usage bad been • topic
relied en, but there was lade in that. Some owner,
might rather waive their right than contest it in a
Court of law, and others might find it forlitir inte-
rest to promote the practice of bathing. as bring
store profitable t r theinselves. For ilium reason.,
and becau-e hr •iis of opinion there was no such corn-
ions law right as the D. feodant had claimed, he
thought the Plaintiff was emitted to judgment.

Mr. Sea !mare now moved the Court to set
aside the verdict, MO VII OirCiioil which he took at

This note was at the trial pot in as evidence of the

to have had so agreement stamp.
The Court considered the note was wordy re-
mitred as evidenre of the circumstances under which

the goods were sent, and of the Plaiutiff's kuows

This was an action on a bill of exchange for SOl.
which bpd been discounted by the Plaintiff (a silver.
smith) ; the defence set up was usury. It came on
for trial before the Lord Chief Justice at Guildhall,
sod a verdict was had for the Defeirdant. The al-
leged usury was by the Plaintiff selling to the De-
resident, as part of the consideration for the bill, ar-
ticles of silver plate to the value of 10/. which it
was sworn were afterourds sold immediately to a
pawnbroker and silversmith in Westminster-
beidge-road, named A relit:Hitt, for 41. 10s.
Mr. GURNEY now moved fur a rule to shew
cause why a new trial should- 1101 be had, on the
ground that the verdict hail been obtained by a
most wicked imposition on the Court. .He had the
sffiihivit of Mr. Arelihurt, which stated that the
goods in question were not sold, but pawned to
him—and further, t:iat the fair ready-money price
for them, in his judgment as a silversmith, was
10/. It appeared that the goods were riot only
pawned, but actually the greater part redeemed
before the trial took place. At the trial he had
contended, that the best evidence of the value had
not been produced, inasmuch as Mr. Archbutt was
not put into the witness box ; but a brother of
the Defendant swore that he had sold the plate to
A echbutt.

This applicatiun was made upon the affidavit of the
Defendant Tucker, and of the clerk to the De-

Defendant had surrendered in May last, in dis-
charge of his bail, to the custody of the Marshal of
the King's Bench; that in the following July he
.was served wish a declaration, endorsed with a de-
mand of plea within four da3a, and that within the
.four days a plea of general issue was entered in the
office of the Clerk of the Judgnienis. lu October last
the Plaintiffs attorney served the Defeudisit with a

tomey apprised the PlaintoMs attorney that a phis

GIPSY I MPOSTUR E.
A poor fellow, named Cock, a carpenter. at Denham,
Carswell, was defrauded of 311. As. by gipsies, leader the
following circurnelanees:—They informed him that he was
the person devtiord to obtain a treasure ainoanting to up-
wards of 4,0001. in gold, which hey buried in a certain spot
near his house, which they could sot pois! out thew more pre-
cisely, bat that if he meld obtain the above sum, and carry
it shout him for a certain lime, he remold diseuver the place.
Having made up the mom required, he serried it to she gip.
sirs, when, after perforesiag some incantations, one of them,
le his peewees., wrapped up the money in an old handkerchief,
which was given biro, with • positive asaerasce, that if be did
slot open it fur four days, nor reveal the secret, be would, at
the expiration of that time, infallibly Gad the It aaaaa e. The
dupe departed un thitassiermsee; bat soon after beginni•e
fear that the gipsy had transferred the sum to her own pocket,
he opened the handkerchief, and to his great joy found
that the sum was really in his possession. All doubt of the
truth of the gipsy's predietiou was now removed, and when
the tier days had expired, he went again so his erratic
friends, when one of the woolen told him that she could do
authiug for him unless he would stake oath that be had done

had looked at the money. The gipsy desired him to give her
the handkerchh f containing the money, and to place his

biting with some violence, and uttering words in a loud
voice which he did rot understand. After a short

and desired him to provide a pick and a shovel, and
that she uould cone to his house that night and
point out to him the spot whirr the treasure ales hidden.
The simpleton departed, provided the implements for dig-
ging, aed waited up the whole nighs, during which he watch-
ed anxiously, but in vain, for the appearance of the gipsy.
