This wu an action to returner damage* for an assault, coot-
, minted by the defendant upon the plaintiff.
Mr. Scarlett stated the case to the Jary. The plaintiff is an
aactioaeer, living in Brydges-street, Covent-garden. The de-
fendant is the occupier of the Swan public house, corner of
Bery.atreet. St. James's. It appeared from the evidence of
Mr. Weaver, that on a Sunday evening in April last, be was
fretnruieg from Chelsea in company with ,the plaintiff. They
. were overtakes by a heavy shower, and took shellar in the de-
fendasee house. On entering the tapiroom they called for a
pot of porter, and Mr. W proceeded to stir the bre with
Abe poker. The landlord jest then entered, and abased both
parties for taking so great a liberty its his house ;hinted that
*bey wen Aio better time pickpockets ; refused to let them
Lave any refreshment; and eventually ie.*: his bands on the
plaintiff, and turned him.iato the street. It was not pretended
• that any:bodily harm bad accrued to the plaintiff, but the action
was brought to teach Mr. Brougb (said Mr. Scarlet) that be
bad no authority to tura customers out of doors. because they
nursed his Ire.

Tins was the plaintiff's cue.
Mr. Gurney, for the defeadaet, said he was Marveled to
the quite • dilrereut amount of the transaction. If he were
rightly informed, themlefendant was fully justified in what he
bad douse by the eo•dect of the plaintiff aad his kited. To

Ahoomaker, but who was living as servant with the defend..nt

This was as *Mine to reco►er a compensation for loss of hire
a cart and horse, belonging to the plaintiff, and which had
►ees seised with a quantity of quicksilver, the property of the
defendant, by whom the cart bad been hired.
Mr. Gurney,in openieg the ease, obser►ed, as it appeared
that the quicksilver bad been wrongfully seised, the duties
►aving been duly paid, the oily question was, whether the
plaintiff must seek his remedy of the defeedant, or of the parties
►y whom seiaere had been made.
M. Hickman, the son of the plaintiff, proved that, in Sep-
.tomber last, defendant hired the horse and cart belonging to his
father to go to East Smithfield. He put into the can a greet
•umber of bottles, cantaininK, as it afterwards appeared, ■
.qesatity of quicksilver. When witness bed arrived at the
books, an officer of the •seise came up and desired to see

the loss of 88 ddys' hire, that period having elapsed between
seizure and the release which was afterwards made.
Mr. Comp', for the defendant, had two objections to submit
in bar of the present setae'. The first, that it wu improperly
brought , forasmuch as it should rather hare been an scums to
repairer in the way of debt : —the set end, that it should is any
ease ha►e bees as agaissi the excise °Meer by whom the seizure
bad bees made; the words spokes by the defendant, accord-
ing to tke evidence of the last witness, set bean buliainat to
sustain the preemie action.
The Lord Chief Justice wu of opinion that the words ware
solheieet to sustain it. The defeodaat might hare told the
plaintiff, had he tbosAlit proper, that be amid see him paid,
and then have brought his action against the ollicer, which
would have ambled him to do so. As it vas, he had made •
promise explicitly enough to the plaintiff, who, in consequence
of that promise, might have been prevented trout pioceeuing at
the titue (as be perhaps would otherwise have done), by me-
morialising the Board of Faciae for the release of his horse

The same witaae•, oroes•rxamined by Mr. Congo, mid tha►
the defenda•t had bees charged 12s. a day for the biro of the
horse and cart. This was a very moderate charge.

"IGHTINGALE e. THE CHURCHWARDEN' OP WHITECHAPEL.
Mr. Gurney, on opening this case, said, that it was au actiou
brought dodost the defendants for having made • false return
to • wandeasur, which had issued from this court, directing •
tree rehire to be made of the proceedings which had lobes
?Moe in the election of • sexton for the pariah of St. Mary,
Whilechapel. By me let passed in the 58th of Geo. 111. ithe
Soloed Vestry Act), it was provided ■nd declared that all per-
saes paying an manual rent of more than 501. should be entitled
to more than one vote in parochial vestries ; mid so on, accord-
ing to a scale therein set forward. The plaintiffs conceived,
that excluding the votes of such as were privileged to trader
more than one rote each, a Mr. Wildman had been duly elected to
the office in question ; for the genileinee of Whitt:chapel had
on • former occasion come to a resolution that this est of Par-
liament did not apply to them. The Jury would Sod, however,
tbst in terms it did apply, and it was not the vote of • vestry
which could set it aside. The plaintiff, however, who had must
votes incladilig the plural ones, was nut accepted as the re•
weed candidate ; and • Mr. 'Wildman, who bad more single
votes than himself, had been declared sesta°. These were the

circumstances under which the plaintiff Dow sought his remedy
John Smith, the Vestry Clerk of the perish of St. Nary,
Whitechapel, said, the of of sexton being vacant, an election
of a candidate to 611 it was held on the 11th and 12th of De-
cember, 1821, in the Vestry-room. Mr. Nightingale was one
of die earididates, and had 639 votes; Mr. Wildman, the other,
had 63!. The number of votes gives by persons entitled to
more than one vote each wee 16f. Nose of Mr. Wilduian's
Isioads tendered more than one vote each.

Mr. Scarlett admitted that thereJaela have been a majority
for the plaintiff. if the plant rules tendered for his had been
accepted.
The Lord Chief Jostire understood Mr Scarlet to wish the
Court to retosider (tale; the various books of rates. &0., pro-
dared in this mese as read), whether the act, which gave a
plurality of votes is emelt eases was or was net operative is
this instanoe—whether the parish was or was sot to be go-
verned by the art?
Mr. Scarlett (hat was his meaniag.
The witness mid that Wildman was considered to have been
remlected aecordieg to the meal cast, of lb* parish. Wit-
less was examined at considerable leagth. by Mt. Gutsily sad
Mr. Scarlett as to the priooiple on which it bad bean usual to
levy the thitrreat pariah is Whiteekapil. Willia the dis-
oas►ies took piece as to the applioetioe of the Select Vestry
Art to the clectioa of the sectoe, (which was inucediately before
that election was held,) it was decided by tke vestry Miming,
that as literal votes 'Wald be accepted. A Mr. Smith (chars/.
warden) proteated agaiast the decision, as witness believed :
certaiely be modes-ad his balances at the dose of the electioo,
vibes the plural voles were rejected.
The resolotion of the vestry was then read, which grounded
ita dismat from the application of the net of Parliament (elf
Ceo. III.) on the Bth metina. which 'spread, exempla all
parishes from its operative that are governed by former sots of
Peri lament. •

The bird Chief Justine said this was e►ideally illegal. The
parish was bored by the wt, of course, ifiutended by the terms
of the act.
The next resolution was to the effect that the ebarcliwardeus
should be hides... Hied for all expendes (bat might be incurred
by reason of tie election of 'mamma being tattooed to proceed
after the old foes and custom or Whitechapel.
The Loral Claiefiustice held this to be also clearly illegal :
it was a proposal to iideionify parties for resistiug an act of
Fathoming.
♦ resolution was glop cited regarding the 'course to be pur-
sued in the them amain' election. Toss was declared to be
'• usanimons."

The Lord Chief Justice said this was mere aonseuse. The
" unanimous" resolution just read was followed by the pro-
test of T. Smith, Ens." against it.
Mr. Seerlett then contended, that though the questioa of the
application of the statute in the city and liberties of hoodoo,
one or both of them, must for the present be considered as
reversed; it was west to him to show that the vestries of
Whiteehapel were held by custom. The custom was to
allow one vote fluty to each inhabitant householder. Now
the bib section of the Select Vestry Act excepted those pa-
rishes to %Lich any former statute, or re. rived peculiar cus-
tom, applied. Severe/ acts bad regulated, in fact, the levy-
ing of certain rates is Whiterliapel ; and this fact, together
wills the custom be spoke of, would, be thought, sustain the
exemption.
The Lord Chief Justice thought that this argument was
important ; bin perhaps the better way would be to make a
case of it. His Lordship told the Jury that souse doubt did
exist as to the application of the last act ; and
The Jury, tinder his Lordship's direction, honed a verdict—
Damages Is.; costs 40e.—subject to a case.

DISORDERLY HOEISR.—REX a. BLADES.
Wr.Gerney stated, that this wee an indictment preferred by
several respectable inhabitants of the parish of Marylebont,
against the defendant, for keeping a common brothel, in Cu.m
berkuld-street, near the New-road. The individuals who sup-
ported the provecutioe bad set about pnrityng their neighbobr-
hood, but still the sink of iniquity kept by the defendant
rosined. The defendant, during a considerable time, had 'at
it oat to women of the town, who made an indecent eapor re
of their persons at the windows, inviting gentlemen to go in.
The house having been conducted in that way a considerable
lime, the defendant was applied to by parsons who remote
sleeted with him, ore which he said, " lrb, I cannot pay my
•eat without letting my house le such persons." It was redly
diagrattefel to the pariah, and a man bed hotter give up house-

WESTMINSTER, OCT. 17.
WEST S. WADI.
'Mk was an action by the plaintif, a toiler. against filo de-
fondest, winos/ of the late Lieat.-Colonel Wade, to recover
a demand for deaths fornithed as mourning on the death of bee
busbasd.

The single question was, whether the moorniag was furnish-
ed by the plaintiff, upon a specific agreement that the amount
of the bill sboutd be applied ►o the demand the plaintiff had
upon Col. Wade during Ms life. If such an agreement existed
and the widow did out make herself liable, the plaintiff could
not recover. It appeared that the Colonel had kept a paint
manufactory, and when the mourning was ordered the plaintiff
seat the widow an order for &quantity of paint. The value of
the goods so obtained was set 4,11 against the old debt, and the
plaintiff arrested the defendant for the amount of the mourning.
The defence was, that the arrest bad been suede in violation
of the express agreement, and that the plaintiff had aide so
excessive chas;e, fur the purpose of making the hill amount le
151. The whole transaction was described by Mr. Gurney, the
defendant's counsel, to be armee of hardship and oppression.
The Common Sergeant, who was for the plaintiff, in his reply
answered the case of hardship, by stating that the defendant
was preparing to leave the country with her children at the
time the plaintiff arrested her.
The Lord Chief Jastice, in his charge to the Jury, consider-
ed the coiriuct of the plaintiff reprehensible, but left them to
decide whether an agreement had been wade to add the charge
for mourning to the Colonel's account.
The Jun found a verdict for We defendant.
LWIMITUN V. PAMILINS.

The plaintiff brought his action against the defeadant, oat
if the late Sheriff'', for Middlesex, to recover a compensative
fur loss, occasioned by the improper conduct of the Sherid"e
officers, in taking an incorrect bail bond.
Mr. Gurney stated the oane. It appears that the plaintiff
was the indor.er of a bill of •xcliange for 101. He sued oat
a writ against Jolts White, the acceptor, who was arrested,
and his attorney pot ia bail for him. Neiiher kite nor hie
attorney kitew into whose hands the bill had fallen, but White
having bees arrested, on a writ issued by Mr. Ewington, by
some blunder on the part of Hopwood and Nei‘blioer, the
Sheriff's officer., a bail bead was prepared is the same of
Wingrave. It was sent to the plaintiff's attorney to be cas-
eated in the name of Wiagrave, wrote opus an erasure, which
bad beea the se.ne et Arabella. The hood with filled up and
executed against Whit and Morgan, one of the bail in the
name of Wingrave. The plaintiff's attorney suppoeisg, as it
Game from the Sheriff, sod was regular, broegbt two aotiotia,
is both of which be was nonaaitcd. The costs to the plaintiff
amounted to 1461. besides the loss of the debt, which made
the whole ISSI. That sum beimow sought to theevar es the
greyed, that it had beta occasioned by the asiceedect of the
Slaesiff 'a officers.
Mr. Holt, for the defendants, represeeted the mistake to bo
an ineoceol oversight, which produced se kaiak witabsyst to
the Sheriff's officers.

The Lord Chief Justin* could not coasider it a cue ti►iek

GORDON W. CAIIIIPSILLt.
The plaintiff, who bad been as dicer is Me Portages**
service, brought his action against Mr. Campbell, surviving
partner of Mr. Stewart, an army agent, to recover 16.1.
which the plaintiff alleged bad bee. transmitted to the said
perteers, to be laid out in the Sper orig. salinities, and which
bed Never been accounted for.

The Comoros Sergeant, who Mated the case, said the plain-
tif was a British °dicer, wh , in 1816, and twelve years pre-
vines, had served in Portugal. About that time he was re•
quested by Messrs. Campbell and Stewart, army *gents, U
place his aleirs in their hands, and allow them, to become his
agents. lie acceded to their request. and sent them 1501. the
fruit of 12 years' service in the Peninsula, with iefltiltl/4111
purchase stock in the S percents. illr. Stewart received the
1501. which was paid to him by Messrs. Cos and Greenwood.
Some time after the transaction Mr. Stewart died, sad in the
accounts sent to Captain Gordon no notice was token of the
1501. The plaintiff left Portugal and came to England in 1821.
and immediately called on Mr. Campbell, the survivisg partner,
for payment of the money. Mr. Campbell said be knew nothing
a►oet it. The transaction was a private concern with the late
partner.
Witnesses were called, sod letters read in support of the
statement ; but there was ground to suppose the transaction
was exclusively between Mr. Stewart and his friend Capita/I
Gordon.

Mr. Soulett for the defendant contended, that it wu a matter
is which Mr. Campbell was not reaponailde. The Joni found
• verdict for the defendant.

BRANT a. PRACOCC.
This was a• action for a malicious arreal. The plaintiff
alleged is his declaratiou, that tho defendant falsely. malici-
ously, and without reasonable cause, sued out • writ agaiast
bon, and held him to bail, knowing there was "otitis& due.
It appeared that a person named Jones, who lived at Cam-
bridge, bad dealings with Peacock to a large asnoent. Lu Jae.,
Is2o, he gave him a bill col exchange, which had been accepted
by Brant, the pleura, for Jones. The bill was dated 2dtti
Jour, Ib2o, and was fur 501.; it became due on the 27th of
October. Jones saw that Peacock had not paid the bill away.
and he paid him • sum of 101. , 501. of which was to go in the
payment of Brant's bill. Peacock at the same time said he
could not give the hill op, as it was at some distance. Jona,
however look • memorandum olthr z.ayinent to be applied to
the bill. This happened in November, Ib2o, and eight months
alter the defendant thought lit to sue Brant. The plaintiff
