A HARD CASE. _ _ _

An application was made by a mail named Lundia for the
advice and *lnstance of Sir Rgebard Biruie, under the fol-
lowing circumstance':—
In the year 1812 the British Government sent out en
board the merchant ship Bremen certain valuables. as a
present to the Emperor of Morocco the vessel was bound
from Landon to Tangier., and sailed wader the command of
Captain Brew,. On its arrival at Tangiers, Lundin, •ho
was a carpenter on board, was seat with the choice articles
of vertu from that plate to Fr:, and the Captain infirrineil
lint that he would leave his wages with the British Consul
at Tangiers fur him to receive ea his retorts from Fe:.
Whilst Litadin was on his way to Fez, the Captain sailed on
board of another vessel belonging to the same owners fur
Cadiz, @ltd./209W to leave Lamina's wages, which amounted
to between thirty and forty pomade, though he bad not for.
gotten to charge them to the owners in his account.
Os Lunde, arriving iu England be applied to a friend, •
gentleman named Neil, for assistance to recover his wages
from the Capt•le. Mr. Neil recommended the poor fellow to
Mr. Box, a proctor, and upon Loodisi placing 301. in Mr.
Neil's hands as a security be became answerable to Mr.
Box for his coats in so action which he authorised him to
bring in the Admiralty Court against Captain Brown to re-
cover Lundin's wages. This action in the Admiralty Court
has now brew pending so long that Lundin conceived that
some bl.me was attached to Mr. Box for not 'akin his cause
into Court, and he applied to Mr. Neil to return hint his
301., as he saw no likelihood of the proceeding coming to au
issue. Mr. Neil kindly gave Itim 101., and Luudin being
distressed he lately applied for the remaining 201., which
Mr. Neil refused to give up. Mr. Neil yesterday attended
at this office, and stated, that he had acted as the friend of
Lundin, being satisfied that be was an filtered man, and
became responsible to Mr. Box for his costs in the action upon
receiving 301. from Lundin ,• and although he was still re.
spunsible to Mr. Box for the costs, which be understood
amounted now to 601., yet Lundin wished him to return the
201. he held in his hands us security. He knew Luudin was
in great distress, and the documents be had incontestably
proved his claim to the wages, but be did out feel inclined
to give up the 201.
Sir R. Burnie was sorry that the law's delay, or the meth'
gence of his proctor, should have produced such distress;
he pitied his situation, and would assist him if lie possessed
the power, but he was sorry to say that he did nut, and the
pour fellow left the office.
