The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE this day, pursuant to adjourn.
aunt, resumed has sittings at Westminster.

MEELYU. 011ANAM AND WE!*

Mr ABRAHAM opened the pleadings, and
3lr. EVANS stated the WC to the Jury. The defendant Gra-
ham was the celebrated aeronaut ; the ...her defendant soma person
connected with him in his serial speculatums. In the course of the
last summer it had been found, on one occasion, when contemplat-
ing an ascent, that the balloon was in a very bad condition, Wile-
titer from the necessary accidents of flood and tiad, or from the
natural consequences of wear and tear, did not appear; but so It
was, no ascent could take place without very considerable repairs,
and the plaintiff had been employed to effect them, and for the ex-
penses he thus incurred, anal for remuneration for his work and
labour, he brought the present action.
Mr. Annsnam baying called the first witness Tor the plaintiff—
The Loon Cxrea JusTtce submitted to the Counsel, whe-
ther this cause could not be better settled out of Court, which sug-
gestion was acceded te, anal a verdict taken for the plaintiff with
the damages laid in the declaration, subject to the opinion of the
arbitrator.

WOODROW V. JONES.

The only other case of any public interest which came be-
fore the Court was this :—Mr. Williams, proprietor of the
Surrey Theatre, and a prisoner for debt within the rules of the
King's Bench, was indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of 6041.
which he sought to recover by the present action from Mr. Jones,
the Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, for suffering an escape.
It appeared that Mr. Williams had acted as Vice-President at a
dinner given in a room connected with the Grapes public-house ;
and it was contended on the part of the plaintiff; that this room
was without the rules of the King's Bench, inasmuch as public-
houses, though situated within the rules, were, by regulations of
the Court of King's Bench, made in the years 1790 and 1795,
excepted from being within the rules, as it was thought
that such places afforded to unprincipled debtors too great
facilities to spend the money of their creditors in drinking and
gambling; the room in question had been bulk long after the
establishment of the Grapes public-house. It was a detached
building, in which persons were supplied with wine and spirits
from the Grapes. It appeared in the course of the trial that seve-
ral Coroners' Inquests had been held in this room, and that the
jurymen on those trials were debtors within the rules of the King's
Bench ; under these circumstances, the Lord Chief Justice thought
it was a subject for • special jury to ascertain whether this room
came within the exceptions of the regulations of the Court of King's
Bench, and the plaintiff, in conscqbence, took a verdict for 7W as
a security for the original debt, subject to the decision if a future
jary On the reserved point."
