Lord Elknborough sat at Westminster for the
trial of Nliddlesex causes. Most of them were un-
iateresting, being chiefly, aftions for the recovery of
sums nut disputed..

hedgelreit v. ALLEN,
This was an anion by a Clergyman, to *corer a
sum of money for,instruaing the son Of the Defend-
ant in arithmetic. It was stated by Mr. Easiti le,
that the Defendant's son was originally designed for
the Church, and was educated at Merchant Taylor's
school; but the father afterwattis changing his in-
tention, and placing him in the Bank, it became
necessary that he should be made more intimately
icivainted with the rules of arithmetic., than was
taught at that seminary. The present Plaintiff was
therefore employed for that purpose, and this anion
was brought to recover a compensation Mr his trou-
ble. To prove this case, he called young Mr. Allen;
but upon cross-examination it appeared that this
was a most ungracious ;talon. The Plaintiff, he
stated, was curate of the palish in which his father
lived-that he was in apparent distress, and there-
fore his father invited him to dine with them every
Sunday. He also received his daughter into 'their
house, and as she was ill had Her attended by a
rgeon and nurse, and gave her every assistance,
• as though she had been his own child. Plaintiff
expressed his sense of these o'blkations, and said,
as he had great leisure in the week days, he would
be glad to assist the witness in his stn.!), of arith-
metic. He accordingly attended at his room, and
he received some assistance from him.
, Mr. s,l‘GreT)r, who was iff,.Court, addressed
the Judge; but what he said tended to confirm the
account of the witness.
The Defendant had paid t 01.• into Court, and
therefore the Jury was bound to give. a.yerdia for
that sum, which they did.
•
wilts .v. u !MEV.
This was an aftion of trespass, for taking away
the Plaintiff's cart and horses, and unlawfully de-
taining them for fifteen days.
The Plaintiff was a Market-gardener at *Fulham,
and in September last had sent his cart to town to
. get a load of dung. The Defendant stopped the
carman, under pretence that there was no nambea
on the cart, and first took him to the Police-Office,
when the Magistrate would not hear the coznplaiht.
I le next carried the cart and horses to the Green yard,
where they continued a month. They were then
advertised to be sold, to defray the ex.pences of the
horse's keep, and the Plaintiff was forced to pay
131. 10s. to have them again.
Lord ELLEMBOROUGH told the Jury, that if the
complaint of having no number had been well-
&muted, the Defendant should have gone on and
obtained a conviction under the At of .Parliament.
As he had not done it, he admitted it Psis ground-
less, and must be ccnsidered as a trespasser ab initio.
-Verdict fur Plaiittilf, 301. damages.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 25.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH sat at Guildhall to-day, but
nothing occurred worth detailing.
