TB E English Ships, on board of which the Swiss
and Condean Troops were embarked. for Malta,
have again returned to Triestei either on account-of
contrary winds, or, which is more Probable, because

Neapolitan Frigates, and the dtlfer Ships which are
to join the Squadron of GANTH EAtIIIE, had appeared
off Ancona. r

Bills: - • - - - - - ' .

-These Bills were draVVn by Mr. JollifFe tiyalsl6.
ta a Mr. Boyd; by hitn indorsed to Mr. ~arbor; And
by Mr. Barber td• the present Plaintiff: They *ere
all dated in 1794., and it Might occur to the Jury to
Ask the reason why this :talon had been delayed so
long • the truth wasi that they had !een reposing
themselves in the Court of Chancery; and they
:were haidly awaked when they were amusedi and
lulled again almost to sleep by the offer of a coniped.,
mise, which ended, as offers, for acompromise too
fre-
4uentl}l do, indisappointment. He had ‘riothitig t(i tlo
but tO prove these. Bills: ,That would entitle him
to recover-, (inlets some case was made out to shew
there Was_ fraud itt. the transaaibn; that) he ad_
thitted, would vitiate the whole case, but nothing
else -Would; as had been fully explained in a Late
which occurred
.yesterday,. but; indeed, it was 'a
point fully explained •long ago. knew of no
such case,—if any such should be attempted, he
should have an opportimity of answering it At- pre..
set he -bad" nothing more to do than• to prove these

• .T.here,weit certain admissions; that the signature
of these Bills:•.xas of the of Mr.
jolliffe, who drew theni on his late Agent, 'George
Stevenson;
,and the IndorseMents- were of the hand:.
writing of the several persons by whoo they
purported. robe made,- '-• That a Copy of the
Bill filed by Mr. jolliffe in Chancery, upon this
subjea, and the answer thereto, should he read in
evidence,- &c. -By Which 'it appeared • there were
many complicated accounts between the parties: . -
It was proposed that the hand. writing of Barber
should be admitted, which. was: not in the ailthis'b.
•
sicals: *

The Attoßii.- .GENERAL . said. he would ad.
mit nothing with regard to that person, -for that he
had been in the constant habit of objeftinc, to every
thing he saich and every thing he did, for-the fait
zoyears, upon the Northern Circuit,

This. perion's-.hand-writing was .then, proved.
The Bills were then read: They Were all dated
on the ioth July., 1794, payable at three months
after datei and drawn by Mr. Jolliffei and accepted
by the Defendant:

_ The 'ATroittc EY GENE'RA.I.- said, that in the year
1394., Mr. Jalliffe'having very considerable estates
in the -North of England as well as in the South,
had money transaftions there, and far that purpose
drew these Bills'upon his Stewards payable to his
own order, and Oliver: not having the money by
him, he was Obliged .to have them distounted,. He
applied to. Boyd, who got cash fat theni; he wAs
an Attorney=this''ivas in the year -170_-:-Boyd
Was.distressed in his circumstance's, having had an
execution against his goods, and another kVrit
against hii person.; Boyd gage these Notpby way
of deposit, into the hands of a Sheriff'3 Officer, -who
arrested him, a man of the name of Nunnington, until
he, Boyd, should be able to put in Bail thQ, Writ
which had issued against hii person..On condition of
his
.putting in that Bail the Bills were to be deliver-
ed up to him. He did put in that Bail, And therefore
these „Bills Ought to-have been delivered up to Boyd.
again; but.Nunnington, the Sheriff's Officer, having
paid. these Bills into the hands of Mr. Barber—in
Barber's hands there a, sort -of bird.limc, to
which triorie3i:stuelc: fist ;; be }aid them in account
to Banner, they present Plaintiff; but he had no bet-
ter title than Barber had. -.•

This Case,was.co,wested for. a-great while, and
the Sheriff's Officer, Nunnington, proved - thdt he
had taken the goods of my d in Execution, and ilk)
arrested bin-kfor.a debt';'' that he kept .the good.;sfot
the security 0f.94e. debt, and-took these Bills until,
the. Other could be settled. Mr, „Barber.. was-;the'
Attorney' in °nit of.tv66-cluses,. and that was set...,
tied,- • and, the Notes paid'to him The. present
Plaintiff held. th6eNote:sfroin .Barber.
LOrdKEN;'ON was clearly 9f opinion, that what.
ever the. case was as betiieen Barber and Banner, vet
if Barber 1141,olmined tr fair possession of z hese
8i115,., that was.plficient to maintain this Action ; a
man need not, in a kal of F4change,‘shew. his own
title, it was suffiCient that heheldit. under the title
of another in whose Caie there *as no fraud.. It
appeared here, that Barber had these Bills for a
valuable consideration, namely, the; settlement Of an
Anion at Law. Ve'rdiCt fir the Plaintitf*-Dit-
