Mr. Diulecev opened this case. It was an ac-
tion to recover upon the Act of Parliament 200/.

house having been destroyed by a lire maliciously
raised, of which she perpetrator was not discovesed.
The value sae greater than the ruin allowed by die
Act.
Mr. Charles Abbot weepiest armee premises at
Stapleton, the property of sir Duke of Beaufort,
to whom he is ohm 6404 of Iris collieries. On the
mons* of she 3.1 of May last. about One 0.4:104.4
the out-house and all ,the mows were oir
fire. The iire.esignies aerie brought from Bristol.
three miles srlf, but the fire could nut be ex-
singuishrd till the premises were consumed. The
nearest ttttt was .300 yards fr the
bun sod out-Infuse; there is nu public mid nearer
than 200 3 arils. Torre was no thundi r or
sing that night that he observed. The value of
the bars. and unt.ltorise was ill t 300/. He caused
notices to be served upon several persons whom he
foamed. He went soon afterwards before a Magi.

Ilia premises were all insured, the stork at 1,0001. the

Company the amount of the damage done to these

towed in eiturses smote) were brought by the In.
stormier. Company. To them he had lent his name.

once; the barn and all iIIC wows west at once in a
blase.

Ileury Savory and Frederick Savory proved the
meowing of notices on the 3d of May. which were
put in 11111 read.
Charles Latchann proved the information to the
Magistrate on the L:4 of May, which was put in
and read.

Heather James, who liver) t:00 yards from the
to ru, saw a light shissiinc through her window ; sloe
looked out and taw the barn on lice ; she rats and
told Mr. Abbot'a servants that the barn and mow
were on lire; the met Mr. Abbot ; all went to the
bane ; they humid lice beret, the out-house, used the
moos on lire. She did root like five suisiutrs, fur
sloe ISO without leer shoes ease. It oils a mild line
night. She was iscourig. and the nmnuent the blaze
came against the window looked out.
Mr. JLRVIS now subotitted that tier Plaintiff
must be non-moiled. The Act was 9 George I.
eh. 22. In section 8, it was required that notice
should be given to some of the Hundred by tier
pearly, Of by their servant., within two days. In
the declaration it was set forth, that endive hail been
seised topsoil three ; they had proved only two. (Ilea
Lordship over-ruled tier olijection.) Then there
was whither subjeetion, which would be fatal ; the
information was required expressly to be from the
party or his servant, and Mr. Abbot was nut a ser-
vant.—(This too was over-ruled.)
Mr. CAMPDFI.I. then nbjrcted that the Plaintiff
sinstaiiird ceo tlsi 00000 ficaiiois, since tier insurance
Company heed paid tier loss susstained.
Mr. Justice lioutotro said, thst he was aware
that the bwl. stow Company could not bring 101
action ; but the quest was, whether any action
was ever maintained where ass Insurance Company
had indemnified. Ile should take u mite of the
objection.
Mr. JERVIS addressed the Jury. He contended
that there was not esillroce of the felony suffiesesit
to satisfy ale OCIIIOII to ungracious as Ow. Theo,
as to the damages, Mr. Abbot had recessed 188/.
They would soot, therefore, feel themselves called
upon to give damage, tae used the injury, although
undoubtedly the landlord, as well as thee tenant,
was entitled to btiug an action fur 200!.
James Green, a carpenter acid builder, offered
to rebuild the premises at an estimate of --.
[Here ,Jr. DAUWLEY arcertanird that the witness
was one of tier Hundred, and veld, the only quer-
lion was, whether base dewier, or Ikea, "signore.]
The witness was judged inadmissible. Ilundreders
were admitted under tier statute of Hue and Cry,
but, through Mere omission, this case wes not in-
cluded.

Mr. DAUNCET begged to read a pasvage from
Serjeant Williams's book (a very grave authority),
which he thought would serve his frieud'a object as
to colliers carrying light through the place. Au
action was, under the statute of Hue and Cry,
brought against the Hundred td Gravesend for a
robbery on Gadshill. Mr. Serjeasit Harris was of
Counsel for the Hundred, and contended that no
action could lie, as Gadahill had been the scene of
robberies and felonies time out of mind.

Mr. Justice HOLSOYD summed up the evidence.
The feloniously setting tire to it will fur them to
Mid or not, iiccordiug to the evidence. Al to the
atuuunt of damages, the Duke of licaufurt w►►s

entitled to 200/. if they were satibfied of the felony,
notwithstandsnic that the premi►es were insured.
Whether the Insurance Company could afterwards
recover from the Duke. was a question between
those parties.
Verdict for the Plaintiff—damages 1881.
Mr. JERVIS CoMelded to have a verdict for the
Pigswill' fur 2001. in the nest case. Abbot v. In-
habitants of Barton-Itegis. Tlsis was for the corn
burnt.

Two muses remain yet to he tried, one of them a.
