LAW REPORT.
"
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL 18.
BENSLI.V V. BIGNOLD.
This was an action for goods sold and delivered, and
for work and labour done by the plaintiff, a printer, for
the defendant, the recently dismissed secretary of the
Norwich Union Fire and Life Society.
Mr. Searlett conducted the plaintid's case, and Mr.
Gurney and Mr. Campbell :he defendant's.
It was proved on the part of the plaintiff, that the
defendant employed him to print three several editions
of a publication, entitled, " Elucidation of the System
of Fire and Life Insurance," consisting of a thousand
copies, valued at 921.55.
Mr. Gurney, fur the defendant, attempted to shew,
that the order tnr the printing was Liven on the account
of the Norwich Society, and not for the defendant licit--
sonally, but the evidence being of a difhtrent tendency,
lie submitted in point of law, that the plaintiff must be
nonsuited, inasmuch as it appeared, that the printer's
name, on the first and last pages of the pamphlet, were
" Pennock and Maunder," instead of the name of the
plaintiff himself, contrary to the provisions of the statute
39 George II c. 79, s. 27.
The Lord Chief Justice was of opinion that the ob-
jection was nut availaule, inasmuch as the object of that
statute was public and hot private, and consequently
could not defeat the plaintif. 's remedy against the de-
fendant, who had enjoyed the benefit of his labours.
The jury, therelore, under his Lordship's directions,
found a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages, 921. bs.

were found near this bridge. There was also a quantity
of bluud upon the ground where the krys lay. About

OLD 1341LEY SESSIONS.
MONDAY, APRIL 16.—Joseph Vale was indicted
or stealing two loaves of sugar, and a quantity of salt,
the property of J. Capels,
David Vale, brother of the former prisoner, was in-
dicted for stealing several bottles of wine, two bottles of
brandy, a pound of tea, and other articles, the property
of John Capels, Esq. The prisoner, it appearettl, was
the butler of the prosecutor, who placed the most im-
plicit confidence in hie integrity; but in consequence of
the suggestions of the officer woo apprehended prittuner's
brother, his boxes were examined, when he found the
prisoner had availed hi.neelf of the opportunities his situ-
ation afforded him of stealing the articles in question.—
Guilty.
'cite Common Sergeant immediately passed sentence
of transportation of seven years, and commented in very
severe terms, on the enorreiiy.ol his offence, and who,
but for the merciful consideration of his prosecutor, in
doing away with the capital part of the charge, must
have expiated his offence on the gallows, and what's
brother but for him, would nut have been in his present
unfortunate situation.
W. Pemberton was indicted for violating the person
of Sarah, the wife of F. Harlow,
After the evidence had been gone through,
'Mr. Justice Park observed to the Jury, that there was
too much doubt in this case for him to permit it to go
any farther. Nothing could be more gross than the
conduct of the prusecutrix previous to the alleged offence,
and it would be too much to place the life of a man in
jeopardy upon the testimony of such a woman. Verdict
—Not Guilty.
The proiecutrix was hissed out or Court, and there
was such a strong indication of feeling outside, that it
was judged prudent to-take her into Newgate, and let
her out by the usual door.

Quested said a few words, and his counsel called three
or four respectable looking persons, who gave hint a good
character for tempet a nee awl humanity.
Wraight put in along written defence, evidently drawn
up by his professional adviser. It commenced by con-
juring his lordship and the jury not to suffer the preju-
dices that had gone abroad against him in the public
newspapers to make any improper influence on their
minds. He described himself as a man who had, by
honesty and industry, supported himself, a wife, and
seven small children. Iles mother, he said had a small
faros, and he had for some time acted as her bailiff.—
She had frequent dealings with a Mr. Thomas Baker.
On the 10th of February he left his mother's house, at
Pcnlinge, in the evening, having been at laborious work
during the whole day, :and proceeded to Mr. Baker's, at
Fairfield, which was a distance of fif,een asides; and
while he was out lie tlionglit he might as well pay a visit
to another Mr. Baler, at North-lane some distance from
Fairfield. He accordingly left Fairfield. and went into
a public-house, and on quoting it night came on, and
he lost his way. He called up a shepherd to direct him
in his proper road, who put him in his right course;
but he afterwactls became so fatigued that lie laid him-
self down ma some straw near a hay-stack, and being
overcome by fatigue, he fell asleep, but on awaking he
felt himsell cold, anti rose for the purpose of proceeding
on his way to Rye, but immediately lie got up he heard
firing, and a few minutes afterwards he was taken by
the officers.
lie ace°. unted for his having powder and shot in his
possession by saying that lie was in the habit of shooting
rooks upon Isis mother's lands. He concluded by saving
that he was a poor man, and could not afford to Wing
witnesses to London. if his trial had come on in the
country, he could prove those statements by ten times
as many witnesses.
Martha Wraight, an aged woman, his mother, was
then called, and proved that her son went from her
house to go to Mr. Baker, and exchange barley for beans
for seed, on the 10th of February.
Mr. Baker, steward to .1. IVa.ker, Esq. of Fairfield,
near live, proved that he had been in the habit of deal-
ing with the prisoner Wraight for corn. Witness re-
ceived a letter from him on the 2d of Feb. and in con-
sequence of that letter, he expected him on the 10th.—
He did not come, hut on die Tuesday following his bro-
ther came and told him the circumstance of his having
been taken up on his way to his •(l3aker's) house. lie
had known him twelve years and gave him au excellent
character.
T. Gwyhampton, Esq. who hat known the prisoner
20 years, gave him an excellent character.
NIG Justice Parke s ttttt tried up at great length, and the
Jury. after a very short consultation, found Quested
Gushy—Wraight Not Guilty.
The learned Judge ordered Wraight to be immediately
discharged. The trial occupied eight hours of the day.
CHARGE OF PERJURY AND ABDUCTION.
Ou Thursday the following extraordinary and interest-
ing ease occupied the court from five until nearly twelve
o'clock on Wednesday evening.
E. Mostyn Joins, a young man of respectable family,
was Indicted for a misdemeanoar in making a false atfi-
davit, hi order to procure a license for marriage with
Charlotte Lovell, and by that and other false devices, in-
veighling her from home and protection of her natural
guardians.
Mr. Adolphus, in an elegant app .1 to the jury, de-
scribed this as a case of most gross fraud ; and this fiend
be said, had beeu followed up by conduct so base, that it
was almost impossible to conceive that a person geed
with a liberal education, and moving in the society which
the defendant must have been accustomed, could have
been guilty of. The prosecutor its this case was P. H.
Lovell, Esq. of Colo Park, Wilts, and the defendant is a
eapt. in the North Gloucester Regt. of Militia. Mr. L.
was blessed with ample property stud a unruerona progeny,
and his happiness never knew any diminution until the
unhappy !period when the defendant became acquainted
with the family. This took place at a review of the North
Gloucester Militia, at Cirencester, in June last. A ter a
short acquaintance the defendaut wrote to Mr. Lovell,
remiessing leave to address his daughter Charlotte, but
met with a refusal. This, however, did not deter hint;
he followed her from one place to another' stud, finally,
having by falsely sweat isig that the sonug lady was of age
and that he knew of no impediment, obtained a licence ;
he partly by force, and partly by persuasion, induced her
to elope with him. The marriage, however, never took
place. In consequence of the death of the Rev. Ards-
deacon Wills, (some time before this transaction(, a near
relation of the Lovell family, who was repotted to have
left immense property, a rumour had gone abroad that
flue Misses Lovell would have fortunes of 30 or 33,t
This the defendant, it was supposed, bad heard. %%lien
he arrived in Loudon with the young lady, he found that
by marrying her with tile licence which he had proctored
lie should not obtain command over her fortune, and be
therefore placed her in lodgings, utid caused banns to be
published. In the interval he ascertained that the 'wing
lads's fortune war Imo!. only, and that not to be paid to
her until site was of age, and to lever' to a relation in
case of her death before that time. Upon this discovery,
the defendant deserted the uniortilitate young lady, I. riv-
ing her in such a state, that when at length her lather
found her, her clothes were dui:tined by the lautibitly of
the horse fat the paymeio of rent %%Welt was due. [litre
a loud 'mums of indignation ran tinutigli the court, but
was immediately repressed with ,eve.e animadvetsions
by the learned jud‘el Mr. Adolphus having with some
further remit ks concluded fats statement,
Messrs. Alley and Andrews took an objection to the
form of the indictment, which was argued at great length
on both sider, and finally Coe' veil by hie court for muse
mature consideration.
Mr. Chat lion, (rum the Vicar-general's office, produced
the affidavit made by the delendant on obtaining the li-
cence, in which lie swore that lie and Miss Lose' were 21
years of age, and that lie knew of no legal impediment
to their himi stage. The affidavit WAS rotten on the 2d tit
Nov. 1820.
P. Lovell, F.sq. deposed that he was the father of
Lovell, and saw the defendant at a review at Uirencestei,
in June last. About three days afterwards lie was intro-
duced to the family at Cole Pare, by Captaiu Vaughan.—

permitted to pay my addressee to her." He went on to
say that lee had property to the amount of suol. a year,
and the witness said he would make inquiry. lie did so,
bitt the result was rinf hie, and he wrote to the de-
fendant, (kenning any fin titer communication with him.
This produced a letter from the detesidant. This letter
was read, and couched in terms of bitter disappointment
at the determination of Mr. Lovell, Shortly slier the
elopement of his davgliter, he saw the defendant, and
asked him if lie had married Ids daughter? He said lie
bad. He asked him whets ? but he refused to tell.—
Witness told him lie must be awe'e that the marriage
could not be legal, as his daughter was uot of age, and
proposed a re-marriage, and offered terms; which the
defendant consented to; but witness afterwards disco-
vered that he was incapable of complying with those
tumult from pecuniary (11,111181aq, and hoe* iu the lute-
rim, found out where his daughter was, he determined at
all risk, to break of the connection, and to have her back.
—He fonnd her at a lodging iu London, and when he
brought her away, her clothes were detained for arrears
of rent, &c.
Coe-examined.—He did once consent that the defendant
should marry his daughter upon certain terms t but in
comequeuce of minus subsequent discoveries, he uttered
his mind.

Ite-examined.—llis daughter had been more than five
weeks absent before he knew where she was.
Misr Lovell, sister of Charlotte, deposed, that some
time after the aequ &Wainer, she aad her suer weut by a
stage coach on a visit to their uncle nod rood, Sir David
and Lady Goodff,e, in Hertfordshire, and on the road they
were joined by the defendant. In the course olconversittion
he said to witness. " I should have thought you were older
than your sister Charlotte ;" to a hien Pile replied, " Oh
no; I am between 16 and 17, and Charlotte is 19 years ut
age." He left the cuach on the toad, and some days after
Orient-rival at St. David's, he was seen riding along a lane
in front of the house. At length witness had an interview
with him at the garden gate, and entreuted him to quit the
neighbourhood. He implored as lute view with Charlotte;
hut she told Oho it was ,inporible, and he went away, lie
still, however, continued his appeaniucer, and a iiness wrote
a letter to him, dictated by Sr D. and her sistervigued it.
The purport of it was, to desire hint to quit the place, for she
was determined never to marry him %idiom her friend's
consent. This produced a letter from has, bewailinl his

fur ever. In another part of the sheet, however, there stele

and her sister being at home alone, a message came taut a
gentlem in was waiting to speak with Miss C. Lovell. The
latter went down to the garden, witness followed, and found

c10p... and declaring he had a licence in his pocket, and
would scanty her the following worming at St. Martiu's

ing close by, in toe care of one Rawlins; he pulled her.,
down the Line to the gig. Witness then Nadeau appeal to
Rawlins to assist, but in vain. He got her into the gig, and
witness gulled her out again. She all tlist tone trod and
decl teed she would not go; but he swore no power emceed'
should mat. • Atli resign her. He got leer again into the
gig, and tiro, • oil: Her sister was now in court, twin been

Cross-examined.—Witness cried, but did not call out.—
She and her sister had both the hooping.cough at the time,
which was the cause of her staying at home. At the elope-
nieut scene her sister made no resistauev either one way or
Ilse other ; she seemed stunned.
Captain Vaughan, of the Gloucester militia, swore that
he communicated the situation of Miss Charlotte to her
father after the elopement, the defendaut having disclosed
it to him. An interview took place in consequence between
Mr. L's. brother and the defendant, at which witness was
present. Mr. L.'s broth r requested the defendant to give
up his niece, and told him if he would say where sloe was,
nu proceedings would be instituted aAuinst hint. ale refused
to give her up unless Mr. Lovell would " tome down" with
a settlement, and pay his (defendant's) debts! If that
were done, lie would marry her. Be added, that lie had
but it small fortuite, mid had incurred considerable debts in
this " running inf." Hi re the case fur the prosecution closed.
Mr. Alley, for the defendant, addressed the Jury with
ability. He trusted that the young lady was yet pure and
virtuous, (and it had been communicated to him that she
lets); unit he only lamented that the matter should ever
have been obtruded upon the public notice. The learned
gentleman cuncluded atit eluquent address by stating, that
tee defendant had evidently been unconscioss of committing
any offence when lie swore the affidavit in question. He
must have believed that the young lady was above the age
of 21, mid if the J wry thought this, they would give him the
benefit of that opinion and acquit him.
The Co ttttt run Sergeant siimined up the evidence, and the
July, after consulting for about a quarter of uti huur,icturned
a verdict of—Guilty.
The Le:Hoed Judge then said, he should not pas. lodgment
until the neat sei,lues, sod ateanwhde the puisit whi. h lie
had rea reed would toulerao a full cunsideration. The i
defendant would therefore enter into rec•lgnisatices, himself
