new trial granted. It was so action 'spin a pnliey
of insurance granted on the ship. Lady Warren,
from St. Danfloga for England. The Planitiirs

SIM SI AN Co CI LLirty

Mr. Serjeant VAUMIAN tuoved that a non-snit
thould he entered in, this case, and t new trial
greeted. lle briefly states), that Mr. Slimmer+ laid
e.nployed Mr. Gillett to pant Asarharalo and Nit-
krni's Dictionary, the paper fur which, furnished
by Plaintiff; Mi. Gillett had promised to ieomre,
heat neglected, and it was consumed by ire. The
two leading questions, he wed. were now to he.
considered AS set at rest, via. as to the custom of
trade to inure, dittl to Mr. Gillett haviag on-
& i taken to insure. At the last trial. this multi-
taking, on the part of Defendant, was proved; lint
it appeared, that although dr. Mittman had eta-
played Defendant to print the woiks in question,
the purer sent in to Mr. Gillett was only. in part
Plaintiff's property, ...evend other bookseller+ hay-
sham in each of the above-mentioned
I`. MA•vtnatt purchased the paper and eitipltiyrd
the tvrint..r ; and the other hookiwllers afterward*
paid their respective shares into I.ia hands; so that,
in fact, he lied only the management. Upon this
an exception was taken, which he now urged, whe-
ther Plaintiff could recover the shares of the other
parties. The Learned Gentleman also urged, as
aivitlwr objection, that the Editor of Aseacharais
bad been the cause of delay, that lit was engaged
by Plaintift; and that if he had forabidisill copy for
the last part of the work, us tepidly as he did for
the first part, the work would have been finished
and delivered before the tire happened. From this
lie inferred that the loss was occasioned by irregu-
larity of Iliiintiff's servant, or agent, or tiny other
name by which the Editor might be called, while
acting for Plaintiff, and consequently the less
should not be sustained by Defendant.
The latter argument was roasted by the COURT,
es. if Defendant folios, delay to operate arainst the
safety of the paper, he mi.( imitetned it, or.
have given r.otiee to PlaiiiMf ta.tlirm effmt.
Telc rule was then granted upon the first point.-
Lord DORMIFIL a. RUBFRT IL N OAT.
Mr. fierjeant SIIV.PHERD stated, Ilia this cause
was tried at the sittings after !ist term: A yroilict
was then givvil for the Plaintiff. lie haw applied
for a new trial, as that verdict was not' enpszilerect
large enough. The Plaintiff was the. trustee of
Mrs. Knight, who had separate+) from the De.
fendant, and had received from him an anumity of

•001. per annum. by virtue of a deed of separation
executed 'in Lou:; it sus 1111.0 laureled, that if
Mrs. should at ally tine, a.sociate, eon-
none to keep intercourse, or cohabit with Colonel
Fader, that annuity was to cease, and she Was
°illy to reer•ve. 4601. smetually ; for the latter ruin
the Jury had found their verdict. The Learned
Grath man stated the evidence positive(' on that
occasion, and commented upon it. lie said, they
had uttruipted to prove the existence of a criitiel-
intereouixe between Colonel Fuller :mil Mrs.
trod hum theme to infer, that such have
tug mice 'been the ease, it most necessarily cvm-
unue
to be en. A witness. Mary Edema, had,
upon that trial, stated, that site was, in 1P4113. 111
the ea-Tyler of Mrs. Hpy, sister to :ills. Knight,
and had teen Mrs. litaght liar the
at. her mistress's house ; mod swore that she
believed, whoa one occio,inii, 1111 inniroperinner-
course hail taken place ; this W itness had also
'worm that•she haul unhirtimately married a men
who had, at the time of her marriage, a wife living;
upon discoveeiug which, she immediately left him,
and had cohabited with him only 23 I s. The
Learned Counsel here stated, that he heel four af-
fidavits to contradict her evidence; at that time her
haslnitill was lit ing at Li.lh, by the name of l
that she lied heel' living there with him, left hint
to atteod the trial, returned after the trial to Bath,
and was now living:with km at that place, under

Thornton and Sarah Ftauhfui, had also said they
had seen Mrs. Kt:ijit and Colonel Fuller, as they
tlokrtght, under suspicious circumstances. This Was 113 the evidence of erhailiality, and this al..
luileil only to what passed prior to the.dred. There
were other witnesses who proved that Colonel Ful-
ler hitch called 11104111 Mrs. knight shire the deist was
executed, three or fuer times. Tins lie del not

oftener. What lie denied -vas, the -es.n • mese,

deed implied, that Mrs. Knight was to receive.

free from criminal iotemourst ; and consequeistly
that ;lei verdict was arca* The Learned Geo.
lleinaCthen said, it might be urged that the Co-
litmel stiffered judgment to get by default, in
an iodide irotight against him by Mr. Knight,
wkeltamomited to a confession of the crime he
had just disavowed ; •the Colored, he said. had

Merely a compromise, for the sake of Mrs. Knight,

and immediately handed back to the Colonel with

Colonel Fidler was limier orders for Spain; prior
to fretting off, lest casualties might hinder his re-
turn, he ociit before the Lord Mayor, and simile
oath that the evidence imoutilig criminal intimacy
betwee u hint and Mrs. Knight was wholly false ;
and this he did also that that lady's character
might stand in its true light with her relstions

Mr. Justice La -C said, it appeared to hint
that the Colonel was an object of suspicion ; that
the deed was eiteented to ',reveal any intercourse
between the parties; and if Ica w•:re allowed to

Great credit is due to the boatmen of this place,
