the service of his Country, was discharged 'from the
Hmtlitoll-ship, at Sheerness, on Saturday last, as wits
th"o tft -prisoner, who had only been a few lieeks
in the service. The prisoner offered to escort the
complain Ant to town, for not being able to walk
without crutches he needed assistance, and to put
him into comfortable lodgings their arrival in
London. The helpless sailor accepted the offer, and
they set off from Sheerness at nine o'clock on Safur-
day evening. The prisoner requ,ested, that as he
was protean-1g- him, he might prote(.t his property
also but the sailor re(usod to deliver •it to him,
when he seized him by the collar, and demanded
it instantly. Having got possession of the pro-

Bristol Fair commenced on Saturday last. There
was a large show of cattle, partiCularly of the. -lean
kind, which sold high. Horses were not numerous,
few good ones, and the prices dear. The supply of
leatkr was pretty large. Prime things sold freely,
bpoitlaily skins, There was sothe om,
tity unsold, chiefly mongrel and inferior hidesi
but a small supply of raw goods, and not much
mand.

Early on Friday morning an alarming fire broke.
out at Hardwick, near Gloucester, on the premises
of Mr. Beach, farmer. The flames raged with great
violence; and a quantity of cheese, and other proper,
ty, to a considerable amount, was destroyed before
the fire was got under.
Film—Yesterday the Merchants on the Ex-
change, and the whole neighbourhood of Cornhili,
were thrown into confusion, by an alarming fire,
which broke out about twelve o'clock, at Gilliam's
chop-house, in S,.veetin,,Y's-alley.' The conflagra-
tion was occasioned by the chimney catching. tire,
the sparks of which fell on the roof. and set it in a
blaze. The engines arrived with promptitude, and
about half past one the flames were extinguished.
The damage is confined to the upper part of the
house.

There was a wedding at Aston, near Sheffield, on
Thursday se'nnight ; the bridegroom was loosed
from his apprenticeship, he was married, his wife

day. His father killed a pig,-and they made so merry
as almost to kill themselves with feasting in the
evening.
A few days since a party of twenty-three Excise-
Officers, headed by their Colle6tor, from Carmar-
then, went,to Llanon, a village near Llansanffraid,
close to the sea, in search of malt, spirits, and other
contraband goods. A considerable seizure was

Revenue Officers with the most savage fury, and
Dearly killed the Colle&or.

LifiV REPORT.

COURT OF KlNd's BENCH, GUII DTIALL, MARCH 6,

strxxhcs AT NISI PRIUS BEFORE LORD CRIEF JUSTICZ

ELLIENSOROUGH, AND SPECIAL JURIES.

• CLAYTON V. ATKINSOIf.
. Mr. GARROW opened. this case with great force
and .effefit.. He said that the Plaintiff was a very re-
spoStable .professor of the law, a .Solicitor, resident
at. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and, :he- wat most reluCt,
antty obligedeto come before a, Juryl and submit
his case; for their consideration, which indeed he
could not avoid without a surrender of that which
was most, dear to him, his charaeler. It would appear
that there never was a more respectable Plaintiff
before:the Court, for he had exercised his profession
for .10 years with unsullied purity, and had met the
gratifying. approbation of ail ash° knew- him—nor
was there ever a man who had been more une. orthie
ly and -shamefully insulted. He had married the
sister, of the Defendant, who was a man of very
large fortune, which he had made in India, and
returned to- England in 1804. • The Defendant and.
his relatives, among whom was, his sister, the Plain-
tiff's wife, were interested in the estate and el-
feas of the' late Mra R•ichard Atkinson, who had
very extensive, but very complicated concerns in
the West Indies, and the late, -Mr. 'Beniield had a
large claim , gad: ineumbrance .911_ that property.---
Mr. Clayton took .an a&ive share in cti,,e.ntangiing
the estate of Mr. Atkinson, from its- eoibarrass-
ments, paid 'had the. aid' of one: of the most intelli-
gent a well as the most honourable of
merchants, one who was-much -too well know II to
render it hece3sary to do more than pronounce his
name, to carry with it every idea of perfe6t respec-
tability—he',spoke of Sir - Francis Baring. This
Honourable Baronet was well acquainted with the
affairs of the late Mr. Atkinson, and with the con-
dtua of Mr. Clayton, the present Plaintiff, in the
share he hadataken its arranging some of them, who
had the good fortune to have the entire approbation
of Sir Francis Baring on. that occasion, and higher
praise nobody could have than the approbation of
so distinguished and esteemed a person. The De-
fendant, Mr. Atkinson, however, had conceived a
malicious dislike. towards,Mr. Clayton, the husband
of his. sister,: and the father of II children by her ;
he had most shamefully and scandalously abused
him, 'in a letter written to his own brother in Ja-
maica, 'for Whieh'he must now answer. He would
not go thaw& the disgusting detail of the, libel, but
should read a few extraaa from ,it, for it was quite
sufficient that •the Jairy, shoelde hear it once read,
which-the rules a the Chun rendered neeessary.—,
The feat part el- avaa an: infamous false-
hood ;. that.. .Mr ,Clayton had misrepresented -the
Defend, nt'a gob dnawith 41-view to prevent
hint from& etehaying-the power of:TOO-ping to Eng-
' land. The reverse-was tlwcase precisely for Mr.
Claatondtadaione every thing:itahis-aiewer to mpre-
seUt the. Defendant. most fayonrably, Wing esteem
for 11103 441. oceOmpt, .of the Alte.4ttenaof. his sister..
Accordingly, Mrs. Clayton, on the arrival of her brc-
ateraathe7De.feadtt4 in England, wrote hint ene of
the
..kiudeSto letters. alsat could possibly be, penned,
congratuliting/giruipon hissgurn Torre, and wish-
ing to know When: shelhould do herself the pleasure
Oftpaying hirn.aNiitgogether with her children and
her mother; at, the ;gel 9f ve,:eager.th.see her sqn in
lily t: ottiftssrsoiont zz abseoce; but, strange
te-'telt,'. this letter: Was. tresited..,witla sullenh and silent.
Contempt„andaftervaards- followed up.with an impu-
dent .falseboed by, the Defendant,- that his. relations
had shown a solicitude for his de,g4,,,f-le had written
to his brother in the West Indies, inviting him to
take part against the Plaintiff, and to adhere to
him, the Defendant. He said ofethe Plaintiff,
" My great bane has been a connexion with that
unparalleled villain, 'whom I shall hereafter name
Murphy, the Newcastle Attorney,'-'.- Murphy was
a name of reproach
.apPlicahle, to a Will which
the Defendant had insinuated most foully that Mr.
Clayton had a dishonest share in making. His
bane he called Mr. Clayton, although the Defen-
dant's sister was perfeEtly happy with her.husband,
and all the family under great obligations to Mr.
Clayton, for the diligence and ability with which he
conduCted several of their concerns. The letter thus
went on—" this detestable miscreant has long ago
placed himself at the head of my family, and literal-
ly converted my father's house into a den of thieves."
We are told that the Father of Lies, from the begin-
ning, could quote Scripture for his purpose, of which
we had a memorable record. This Defendant had
no scruple in calling the Plaintiff the pupil of the
Arch Fiend, the apostle of Satan and imitator of the
Devil, yet certainly nothing could be more diabolical
than this letter. The letter went on—" Now, Mat-
thew (he said to his-brother), I put you to the test. I
admit of no medium between me and this miscreant
attorney, whose name is infamy, and touch is pollu-
tion. You must either adhere to rue or to him. I leave
you fairly to choose ; and unless I receive from you
an intimation to the contrary after this letter reaches
you, I shall consider you as Murphy's man. If you
fhllow me, you will make me a true brother ; but I
ant not so easily deceived asyou seem to believe."—
Then the letter proceeded to state matters concern-
ing a bill in Chancery—" He will tell you there is
nothing to fear from him : the rascal knows better.",
And what one ought to be ashamed to read in the
handwriting of a gentleman to a gentleman, of and
concerning a gentleman, followed.—" But as the law
proceeding will swell his bill of costs, I know he viii
advise standing a suit, even though he knows defeat
would be the result," &c. Now Mr. GARROW
asked if any thing was ever halt so bad as this, or
' so scandalous ? He then went on to say that the
uncle's will was a rank forgery. He would risk, was
it possible that any thing could be more diabolical
than this, of so truly worthy a man as Mr. Clayton
was ? He had indeed been abundantly moderate in

the damages he had "stated in the declaration, and
much below what the Jury would have advised, had.
he consulted them. Mr. -Clayton's objeCt was not
damages, but protection to his charaeter. ,
wanted nothing more " he waged not war with
Bedlam or the Mint." If this Defendant were con-
fined. so that he should scatter no more of his pol-
soned arrows on the highway, Mr. Clayton would
he content; for which reason he had restrained the
Special Pleader from concluding the declaration with
damages beyond the sum of tOool. 5 a sum which he
was COnfident the Jury would not hesitate to give.
Mr. Matthew Atkinson, the Defendant's brother,
-examined by Sir V.' GIBES, proved the letter, of
which Mr. GARROW bad read 'the above extraas,

to be his brother's hand-writing., The letter was
read ; it contained the above paiisages; and many
others injurious to the Plaintiff's charaeler, and
others of the Defendant's,. family ; it was sent by
the Defendant from London to his brother,,, Mr.
Matthew Atkinson,. at Kingston, in Janraida„ in
Jaly 1804, of. which he sent a duplicate and tripli--
cate, lest it might miscarry. To this letter Mr: M.
Atkinson_ returned an answer . full of good sense,
bearing ample' testimony to the honour of Mr. Clay-
ton, and assuring the Defendant of the interest he
took in the ivelfke of- the family, gently assuring
the Defendant his mind had been poisoned by some
misrepresentation, and that he saw the condu& of
Mr. Clayton'thro''the medium of prejudiceAcc.. To
which there was a reply from the Defendant, full of
anger, and considering his brother as an accomplice
in a conspiracy to defraud him of his property ~&c.
Sir Francis Baring, Baronet, examined by Mr.
GAttnow. „ . .

. ... _
Q. I believe, Sir Francis, that in consequence of
your connexion in West India matters, which we
all know to be most extensive, on the death of the
late Mr. Richard Atkinson you assisted in the ma-
nagement of his affairs ?—A. To a dlEVtain degree, by
advice.

Q. Had you; in consequence of that, frequent
communication with Mr. Clayton, the Plaintiff in
this cause ?—A. -Frequently.
Q. Were Mr: Atkinson's concerns in a consider-
able degree conneiSted with West India property-?
A. Very much; if-not entirely:
Q. .1 believe the affairs of Mr. R. Atkinson had
great complexity about them ?—A. Very much, in-
deed, they were' very complicated. •
Q. A great number of persons claimed:under his
Will ?—A. A- great many.
, Q. I believe it became necessary to advance mo-
ney' for the relief of the estate from ,embarrassment,
particularly on account of the claims of Mr. Benfield ?
Mr. Benfield had a demand of about 30,0001.
on the "estate ; it was proposed by Mr. Clayton, and
those who represented the. family, to purchase Mr:
_Benfield's right, for theparpose, :in thefirst instance,
of liquidating the concerns of the estate ; and in the
second,
,it any benefit arose from the purchase, that
benefit was to be divided-among the family,- not in-•
dividually to Mr. Clayton, but to 'he family at large.
• ' Q. I believe, ;Sir Francis, that on that occasion
you were SO good ALto makes considerable advance ?
.—A.- I advanced 60001. - '

Q. Did Mr,' Clayton make considerable advances
also for the same purpose ?—A. He advanced him-
self l 6,0001. for the same purpose.
Q. I will take the liberty of troubling you with
only one More question, Sir Francis. From the
frequent opportunities of intercourse you had with
Mr. Clayton, did he appear to condtiet himself with
zeal-and integrity hi that case ?—A. I have had fre-
quent Oportunities of knowing Mr. Clayton - for
iranylears, apd in all the transactions which 1-have
tated, and others relativo to the farnilyr . •..
Here-Mr. TIVLLAS objeaed, that-these transaaions
were not evidence; and his Lordship ruled acCord-
ingly.-
GARROAV.-,-.Q., Was Ms.- Clayton's condua
that -which vou, :Sir Francis, approved of, as beim.
for the benefit of tbe family ?—A. Entirely so.
Here the Plaintiff's Case was closed.

Mr. DALLAs spoke for the Defendant in his usual
Elegance of stila, and contended that this was ex-
poiing unnecessarily thii teents of a family ; that
the Defendant, whom he did not justify, and who
upon refledion was ashamed of this letter, had aded
under misapprebewion, and that therefore this was
not a case for serious, but moderate damages. .
Lord ELLEBOROUGIt delivered an excellent
charge to the Jury., in which he considered the
else as very important, not only to the parties, but
to the public. Solicitors were a body of men whp
ought to be severely censured when they miscon-
duded themselves ; but when their conduet was
corre&, they deserved particular protedion in their
charade!' in a Court of Justice. He knew not how
tb admit that. species of apology for misconduCt
which arose . from a medium between insanity,
Which excused a man,for any thing he did, and that
perfea calmness by which he kept his conduet regu-
lar—it would be dangerous to admit it—for all
wickedness was something approaching to insanity ;
but nothing but 'a total absence of reason was an ex-
cuse for it. His Lordship made a great number of
excellent observations on the case, all to the credit
of the Plaintiff, leaving the amount of the &triages
entirely to the Jury.—Verdid for the Plaintiff—Da=
mages-tOOOl. •

THE KING V. FROST AND OTHERS.

The Defendants, Mr. John Frost, and several
others, were indi4ed for suborning persons to vote
for Sir Francis Burdett, at the late Middlesex Elec,
fiat,' who were not. qUalified.
Proclamation having been made, and no one ap-
pearing to prosecute, Lord ELLEN BOROUGH direeted
the:Jury to find the Defendants-:—Not Guilty.

scnnorDEn v. SMITH.

This was the second trial of the A6tion against the
Treasurer of the London
.Pocks Company, to ascer-
tain, whether the..Cornpany .were entitled to charge
the impOrteis of West India.produce a sum beyond
what was Mentioned in the Aft of Parliament for
lowering goods into lighters, in order to their con-
veyance by water-carriage for exportation. The ver-
di& was similar to the former one, in favour of the
Plaintiff, and the question was finally decided against
the Company.

MARCH 5,

DAY AND TROTT V. LAMBE.

The Plaintiff are linen-drapers in London, the
Defendant is a manufaeltirer at Manchester. The
p:esent aetien was brought to recover a sum of about
tool. which the Plaintiffs had lost by the insolvency
of a person of the name of John Jenkins, who had
been recommended by the Defendant.

Mr. GARRoNsr, for the Plaintiff, said, that this. ae-
tion was brought.; for a false representation by the
Defendant of the character of the person named ; iti
consequence of which, faiih had been reposed by the
Plaintiff's, and a loss had been sustained by them.
He observed, that the law on the case was clear. If
a tradesman be referred to for the ,credit due to an
individual, he might decline satisfying the inquiry,
on the ground of the danger attending it; but if the
person interrogated made a,filse answer, he was lia-

blot° the consequences of his own misrepresenta-
tion. The faces were these: _ 3,enkins. w„ is An obscure
man, occupying a small shop, and,ln.a,dditionto his
business on his oWn account, ..he was. Clerk to a re-
speaable_House wider the firm of Major Blundell
and Co, Thus situated, -he Went to the Plaintiffi ,
add looked out a quantity of goods With. a view to
the purchase of them. Messrs.. Day and Trott
were disposed to deal with this new customer, but.
prudently_ required that Mr..,Tenkins should.rnake
some reference for his chara&er before the delivery
of the goods. With this requisition Mr. Jenkins
complied; they were told that Mr. Lambe would
give the satisfa&ion sought.; and the account given
of the responsibility of Mr. Jenkins was the founda-.
tiou of this a6tion. The Defendant said, that Jen-
kins had received goods of him to the amount of
5001. ; that he was a Clerk in the House we have
named; that if he Were not a man of property, he
had industry and talents in his business; and that if
he required goods.to the amount Of 5001. more, his
orders would be punEtually executed.. Was it to be
credited,-that instead of 5001. Jenkins Was a debtor
to the Defandant to the extent of nearly 50001. and
that this was a contrivance to bolster him up for a
few months, until he had paid off that claim ?

After the, witnesses on the part of the. Plaintiffs
had withdrawn,
Mr. TOPPING, for the Defendant, remarked, that
he differed from his Learned Friend materially is
the law ,he had laid down. A person was not liable
for the Charaaer he gave, unless two things should
•be shewn : Ist, That he had made the misrqr*is
tation with a fraudulent design : and, 2dly; ltrtAa
loss had'occurred from such misrepresentation. The
case of" Haycraft and Creasey," in the early stages
of it, had occasioned much doubt and difficulty on
the subjea ; but in the ultimate proceedings, the
opinion of a Noble and Learned Judge, Lord Chief
Justice KENYON, arid the law had been for the fu-
ture definitively settled.'
Mr. Lambe, the brother of the Defendant, ' was
then called, who said; that at the time-the charader
was given, the Defendant had no suspicion of the
insolvency of John Jenkins, and trusted him to the
amount of 50001.. It was true, that his brother had
said, Jenkins was indebted to him 5001. at the time
he was in faa indebted to him 50001. but this was
in reply to the inquiry, whether Jenkins was indebted
as much as .5 QOl.-,to the Defendant. •

Lord ELLENBOROUGH--." The ground of fraud is
taken away, and on this principle alone the atqion
could have been supported."
GARROW—" If your Lordship had not ex-
pressed your opinion so decidedly,. I should have
submitted to the Jury some reasons for distrusting
thocredibility of thiS witness:"

Serjeant SHErrttito, on the part of theDefenclant,'

the purchaser, and, in faft, seller,'also. -The goods,
for aught lie knew, were sold under value and, at'
all events, should have.: been sent to‘ Dublin after an
eighth had been sold for the payment of salvage.---
From these considerations, he hoped to have the vet-
diet in favour of his Client. -

The Lonn CILJEI? JUSTICE addressed the Jury, and
observed, that according to the evidence, the ship
was not in 4 'condition to proceed tODublin, And
that she had been fairly sold by order of the Ad'-:
miralty Court in Jamaica, consequently Crossman.
