LAITY REPORT'.
COURT OF KlNG's BEIMII, MAY !6.

PAXTON AND OTHERS V.SIE HOSSE POPHAM, KNT.

'This was an a6tion of debt, upon a bottomry honii
on the ship Van Stat Wallet), of which , the Ik-
fendant was a part owner, for money borrowed, had,
'and received, as it appeared upon the bond, to
the amount of 33751. in the East Indies. The De-
fendant pleaded a special plea, stating, that the debt
arose upon a transatlion on the sale and purchase of
pods in the East Indies, to be shipped to Europe,
contrary to the laws and regulations of the East
India Company ?. and the bond was given not for
money borrowed, as was stated in the bond, but as
a security for the payment of this debt, which 310i0
upon an illegal transatiion. To this plea there was
a demurrer.

• Mr. litillitOUGH, for the Plaintiff, now admitted,
that the transaaion, as stated, v.vas illegal, and
would make their security void.; but he argued,
that for the manner in which it was pleaded, it,
could not be taken advantage of.
The Court, however, thought, that %Whin the
principles of the recent decisions these leas were
autficie►►tly stated upon the record.to avoid the bond,
and therefore decided against the Plaintiffs; but
they said they would look into some of the cases
cited, and if they caw occasion would alter that opi-
nion.

HUSSEY V. CHRISTIE AND OTHERS.

This was a case sent by the Lord Chancellor for
the opinion of the Court, upon a question whether
a Captain of a-Merchant Ship, who, by the law of
merchants, is empowered to hypothecate the Ship
for the amount of repairs to-be done to her abroad,
end when she wants repair, may take up money or
bottomry for that purpose, has a lien for money ad-
vanced by himself tor repairs.
In this ease the'Master had got the Ship repaired
abroad, and paid the persons who repaired her their
charges, and when he came home Claimed a lien
upon the Ship for the amount.
Mr. Sea fiLgTT was heard in support Of the claim
of the Master, and Mr. MARRYAT against it.
The Court held, that as no case could be shewn
to give the, Master a lien, he must pursue the stria
legal course of pledging the Ship to the persons.mak-
ing the repairs, and, if be paid the money himself,
could have no lien upon, the, Ship. • -

COURT OF.COMMON PLEAS, MAv i 6.
ASSIGNESS OF THRUbtRULL v. couwr 1,14.1 I. EN-
111OFFEN.

Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN shewed cause against
rule grantedon the application of Mr. Serjeaut SHEP.
uenu, to shew why the Defendant should, not be
discharged out of custody, he being a privileged per-
son, as being one of the suite of-Prince Stahremberg,
late Austrian Ambassador. He grounded his mo-
tion on an affidavit of the Defendant, stating, that he
came to this' country as the be'are.r of dispatches from
the Arch-Chancellor of Austria to the Austrian Am-
bassador: some time afterwards Prince Stahremberg
attached him to the Legation as an aclviier and cowl.
sellor, the Defendant being a DO6lor of Civil Law)
Prince Stahremberg, on his return, went through
France, itnul)efendimt could nox secompany, him, op
be wits pros.cribct by 1144anapicte ; that Prince Stall.
retnberg promised, on' his arrival in Germany, to
obtaitt'passports for him ; that he had not time to
receive those pasgports when: be was arrested ; the
Prince having departed from this country in January,
and the arrest having taken 'place the' 5 tit April and
that in the intermediate time he had kpplied to the
German, Ambassador in Holland, to procure him
passports to go home. by .the way of Holland ; but
he received for answer, that no `passpotts could be
given without they were signed by the Emperor of
France..

Mr. Scrjeata Vsuonsti. contended that his ap. • ;
vointtnent was only to preVent his being being arrest,
ediand cover him from his creditors. He produced
a note from Prince Staliremberg to Thrumbull, stat-
ing,: that according to the power vested in him by
the Emperor, his master, be had appointed the poor
Count Pfetienhotren to be one of his suite; knowing
that, as he was a friend of the Count,-it wolild give
him pleasure, as it would be the tueans of ploteding
him from his. creditors. Mr., Serjeant VAUOHAN
•contended this was animlawful appointment ; for,
although the country privileged the suite of a foreign
Ambassador, it did not allow him to4appoint a per-
ion as 'one of his suite for the aired purpose of
Sereening him from his creditors ; and"that it Was.
not the ;intention of the Defendant to leavb this
country, for if it was, he could have gone :by. the
way of Malta to Trieste; and he (miller stated, that.
being appointed to the Legation 'only by the Am-
bassador, the appointment, at the departure of Prince
Stahremberg ceased, and he now ought to. be con-
sidered as an alien enemy.
Seijeants SHEPH can and BEST cOntefided that he
came to this country in an officialaithation, was
continued in such appointment by Prince. Stahrem•
berg, and had used every endeavour to leave this
country,r; he could not go by the way of Trieste, as
it Was in possession of a French soldiery ; and the
-Defendant bad as much right to protettion as ,the
Prussian Ambassador who had not been permitted
to land at-Calais, and was obliged to return to this
country ; that the note of Prince Stahrernberg to
Mr. Thrutubull, sheaved he was appointed by the
Emperor himself, for it stated be was appointed by
the authority of the Emperor, his master.
The court was of opinien that he vvasa d ppointfr.
merely to screen him from his creditors., and
charged the linle with costs.
