COURT OF KING''-; BENCH, DEC. 8.

lITTINGS BI FORE LOl4ll ELLENBOROUCII, AND SPECIAL

J URI EA, :i:NWESTMINSTER-BALL.

THE KING JAMES LAMB AND CO.

The ATTOANEY-GENERAL stated this to be a

rrt-cyk.ctirion for one Of those conspiracies which are
oftener prat:tired than deteC.led. It waS entered-into
hir-the putvn4e of getting out of his Majesty's ser-
ice t we- pigrsons of the nameof Wilborn and
.Larn-
bvrt; wlio hail been impressed from a baige the
fliver Tham,-4, and taken,on
.board the Enieiprae
tekner, 1),1 t:le Tower; and the Manner in which
that had :been aeCornplished, was that of Charging'
thein,withdebts that had no existence, and holding
tiiern' to bail; by which they were brought on shore,
aid then 4,uffered to go about their buinesS. To
effeadate this, '.George. Wilborn had made an affi-
• dat it that 'ilk 'bun het', John Wilborn, was justly •
anti ,truly indebted to him in fiftyone pounds for
goods solti and delivered, and for money liTnt, al- ,
though In reality there was not a shilling due.—
John Eyling bad sworn that Ldrnbert; another im-
pressed map, owed him 381. in like manner, but
not a shilling was due. :A
,persati of the name of
Grey, who was an Attorney's Clerk, bed, put 'this
machinery in motion, and Lamb- was a Sheriff's
Officer, who . Carried the scheme into praaice.7—
The men were arrested, taken on shore to a public-
house, •where there were 201. a piece.left for tt em
by the masters who employed. them, which they
took, and paid 101. a piece to the Attorney's Clerk,
and t he Sheriff's' Officer ; and then all.the parties,
that is the shan't Plaintiffs and Defendants, and the
Attorney's Clerk, and Sheriff's Officer, went to the
Cherry Tree, in Kingstand-road, where they had,a
supper together, and parted, each going to his own
home. .Some time afterwards, the plot having,
been discovered, the Sheriff's Officer re-took these
men and brought . them back ; but that was no
atonement for this outrage in the name of justice,
and therefore the Parties were brought before the
Court. .

The fads of the case being clearly made out in
evidence, all the Defendants were found Guilty.-

STUBBY V. SMITH AND ANOTHER.

The ATTORNEY-GENEAAL stated, that this was
an 20ion founded upon the cause which the Jury
had just dis.pused of ; and it was. an adion for the
recovery of two penalties. of 1001. according to the
provisions of the .statute of the 44th Geo. 111. c.
s. 4, which imposes a penalty on the Sheriff or
Other Officer who shall not take back to the _Officer
in his ICifajesty's service from whom •he -vs.'as
taken, every person who shall have been arrest-
ed on civil' process when
,the proceedings of such
process shall be at an end ; which was an Ad
passed to prevent the abuse of taking .seamen out
of the service on sham arrests. This action was no-
minally against the Sheriff,: of London, hut substan-
tially against Lamb, the Sheriff's Officer, who hod
been instrumental .in procuring the .eulargerneut Of
these two pers6ns out of the tender, for the Officer
always gave security" to the Sheriff belofe hewas
lowed to ad in the capacity of an Officer: This
aaioti was brought 'tor the said two penalties of
1001. each, to remind this Sheriff's Officer 'Of that
which he seemed to h xe forgotten—namely,. that
the practice of taking away s'3ilOrS from the service
of his Majesty, by-me ils of artestfot debt, Without
returnitig them to the service pot of which they are
taken, when the proceedings upon the civil prOcess
are at an end, is a practice attended with an expence
of t not. in each instance. -

The facts being-found -asthey had appeated on the
case just prreeding, a verdict was found for the
Plaintiti—aimages 2001.

BAKER V. BOLTON AND OTHERS.

Mr:PARKE observed, that this was one of those
cases which 'excite horror the instant they are re-
lated. It was an instance, among many, of tile
shameless and inhuman manner in which Stage :1
Coaches are too often driven, with a frtid_ indif-
firence to the lives of his Majesty's subjects; and
for whith the masters of these coaches were only
civilly respons'ble. Biker, the Plaintiff, was .
a person whohad kept a public-house near Charing ,
Cross,, calfed 4‘ The Shades,"_ and had acquired a
competency on which to retire trom.the fatigues of
business. and mile had lived in connubial
happiness for thirty years, and Providence had bless-
ed their bed With. to enty-two children. In May
Idst;he and his wife being at Portsmouth, took their

Lieutenant North, who was one of the outside
passengers, gave an . account of the iirunkennesS of
the coachman, and of the-overturning ot, the coach ;'
but after that he Knew nothing, because he had been
