SHERIFF'S COURT, BEDFORD-ROW,

SaituaDAT, 1114acia 14.

WORM IP. LAIMILMCI WILLIAMS.

This was a writ of inquiry to assess damages. in
an action brought by the Plaintiff. who kept an
academy st Hantsuereinith, against the Defendant,
an attorney of Cursitor-street, Chancery-lane, for
putting in sit diesel execution and distraint upon
the Plaintiff's preenisesolie Defendant having suf-
fered judgment to go by default. The damages
were laid at 3,000/.
Mr. TUKTOM stated the Plaintiff's case. The
facts were briefly these :—The Pleintiff kept a re-
spectable academy at Hamtnersinith, and employ-
eel the Defendant as his legal adviser. In June,
1816; the Plaintiff was arre4ed at the suit of
.senders, a butcher, for 186/. The Defendant
was timplojed on that occasion to compromise the
arrest, and to tattle with his (the Plaintiff's) cre-
ditors, by getting then* to accept of live shillings
iii the 'email in pert payisiesit. The Plaintiff
had given a eugliorii to Saunders for his debt,
and the Defendant had entered into some further
tq.nis of settlement with &woolen, in order to pro-
cure a forbearance of his demand. In cons' -
ipienee of this arrangement, the Plaintiff. Mori ll i l
!mid into the hotels of Will.ante, the Defendant, a
ram of 60/. and besides gave I a warrant of at-
torney ; but for *hat purpose this instrument was
put into the hands of Williams did not distinctly
appear. It was represented to be in the nature of
a sezurity fur any debt that might accrue to Wil-
liams, and with a view to protect the property of
Alorini from his creditors—and as such was MOUS..
pectins!). given, and in perfect confidence, in the
wouratter ut the Defendant acting as h:s attorney.
The money; hosvestr, which was advanced by the
Plaintiff, fur the purpose of being paid to his
creditors, Mr. Williams had thought proper to
apply to his own use, alleging that the Plaintiff
was indebted to him, %Valiant', its a greater amount
fur busbies. done; and. upon the warrant of attor-
ney, at the suit of Williams, an execution was
moreover wantonly put in upon the Plaintiff's pre-
mises at Hammersmith, and a levy made of his
furniture and effects, including the bedding upon
which the bop' slept, so that the whole of his
scholars were then necessretly removed by their
parents; the school at once broken up, and the
Plaintiff utterly united in the exercise of a profitable
business. This the Learned Counsel observed, was
the cruel. scullion, and mulicious iiijiiry, for which
the Plaintiff laitl his damages at 3,0001. and which
was by no means an adequate coiupensation, Cuss-
mitering the Plaintiff's business was then worth
500/. per annum. The execution so put in by the
Defendant, as likewise the warrant of attorney,
bad bees' set aside by the Court of King's Bench ;
void by the same judgment the Defendant, Wil-
liams, was not only ordered to restore the goods
bike's, but to repay the 60!. he had received of
Morini, kr the purpose of settling' with his cre-
ditors, and which he (Williams) had retained in
his hands up to that time.
Case was proved in evidence.
The Under-Sheriff having briefly summed up,
the Jury retired fur about ten minutes, and, on
their return, assessed the damages at Sit Hundred
