This action was brought not only to recover hack
the money thus advanced by Mr. May,_ but also for
Damages, which were stated to be irreparable, on
_account f the Education of this young Lady having
been negleaed for upwards of eleven months, and
also, for not having afforded her food sufficient in
quantity; nor proper in quality,during that period,
but on the contrary;' the food was both bad and
scantily allowed. That instead
,of instruaing her
as they ought, theythad.caused her to employ al-
most the whole of her time in nursing a little female
Child, of between three and fours years of age,
who had ti Acrophulous complaint, and being of a
froward disposition, took up almost th:: whole of
her time, by which the purpose of her being seot to
the .Boardir4-Sefiool, was totally defeated. ,From
which gencral miscondua the School was broken up
about March last, &c.
This was the outline of the case on the part of
the Plaintiff, to support witch_ several Witnesses
were called.

. ,
.
On 'the' part of the Defendant it was not denied
that such was the Agreement; indeed thatspolZe for
itself, for it was in Court ; but it was contended,
that this Agreement ,was' not only :aridly but libe-
rally obServed by him and his wife. That the meat
this young Lady had, was the same as the other
Scholars of the Boarding-School, the children of
most respeaable persons, which was both excel-
-lent in kind and abundant in quantity. That so
far. from taking away the, time of this young Lady
in the fruitless employMent of nursing this child,
they only gave her •the trouble of looking after it,
just enough, for making her acquainted With the
bringing
.up of Infants, which was one, and not a
trilling part, of what must be her occupation when
she came into the care of these things for herself.
That she had the same Lessons as 'the other Scholars,
with the advantage of some privitte Lessons frOm
Madam- Giroux herself, in Drawing and other ac..
•complishments ; and that, indeed; the excess whiCh
had taken place upon this' occasion, was an excess
of care and tenderness* behalf 91,Madam Giroux
towards this young
,Lady. , .true, that the
School had been broke,, up,, but that was entirely
owing to the calumnious rumour and unfounded re.
ports on which this Adion was built,. and that
above all, this young Lady had 'frequently, declared
herself pettedly satisfied with the treatment she
had met with at this Boarding-School. That even
after she hid made her complaint to her Father and
Mother. of the ill-treatment she' bad met with from
Madam Giroux, they had alloWed her to remain
therefor many months. ie
This statement was supported by the Evidence of
a number of young Ladies who had been Scholars
at this Boarding.School,as well azi by their Mothers,
who bore ample testimony of their • being pettedly
satisfied, with the treatment they had met with,
which was the same, as Miss Wood had received ;
and it was admitted in the Evidence of this young
Lady herself, that she had been allowed by her Pa-
rents to remain in this Boarding-School for several
mcnths after the complaint was made to them.
Lord KENYON delivered a very moral charge to
the Jury, an the most important subjed of the Edo_
Cation of youth, and in the course of it, observed,
that if the Charge had been entirely made out
against the Defendant, no virtuous Parent would
thinkany Damages too, large. ; but he was bound to
declate;• because conscience he felt, that upon
the whole of the Evidence, the Plaintiff had not
made out his case against the Defendant, on the
contrary, he ,had by his own condtki, done away his
right of Adion, &c. that was, by his suffering this
young Lady to stay at-.this place for many months
after the complaint of being iMused had been
made to him. It was but, reasonable to take a man's
aEtions as evidence of his feeling in preference to
• his words, especially on a matter like this, for if
the complaint against the Defendant was just, the
young woman's loSs would be irreparable, and on
which subjeEt a Parent would not :have speculated
for one hour, but would have taken this ming
Lady, away instantly ; instead Of which, she was
allowed to remain there for several months., This;
if the usage was as it had been described, was unite,
countable condu& in a Parent. If not true; he had
no complaint. However, the Jury were masters of
the case, and they would determine.
• , -The Jury withdrew, and remained out of Court
two hours, when they maned a Verdia. fOr•the

SITTINGS BEFORE LORD KENYO! IN WESTMIN-

STER-HALL.

STOCKDALIt 7v. vi•NCOVVER.

This was an Aaion brought by Mr. Stockdale,
the Bookseller, of, Piccadilly,
,against the Defend-
ant, the Author and Proprietor of the Work enti-
tled Vancouver's Voyage round the World, with
certain Charts, &c. published originally by Messrs.
Robinson, of Paternoster-kow, who declined to
purchase,ir, upon which it was bought by the, Plain.
tiff for the sum of 554. There were remaining of
the original impression 175 Copies, which were de-
livered to the Plaintiff. The work; was then sold
at the price of five guineas a Sett to the Trade,
afterwards six, and }mot now sells to the Public at
eight guineas a Seteiffibut the Defendant's friends,
at whose house some of the Plates of the Engravings
of the Charts were deposited, while he, was in the
country, happened to be robbed, the plates were
lost, so that another Edition of the. Work cannot be
pUblished without, the ,expenee of
.engraving the
Plates over For recovery of the amount of
that expence,,Mr,Stockdale demanded of Mr. Vari
couver 2401. who did not that the 'Plates, as
as well as the Copy-right, were the:property of Mr.
Stockdale, under the purchase he had made ; but he
said; " That considering the whole Case 'as it stood
between him and Mr. Stockdale,, considering that
Mr. 'Stockdale had originally offered him 7001. (at
whichprice the Work would have been abundantly
cheap) and then, 'finding that Mr. Vancouver was

16 situated as amt. the neat y money Was, 'at ~Yiat
time) an oblea to him, dropped, at.once) down to
gaol. and Aaid, ". That unless the bargain Was Made
immediately, he would not buy at all ;" considering
.also, that Mr. Stockdale had, in "the whole of the
negotiation for the purchase Of the Work, con--
scantly; represented, that the Work was indeed a
very heavy Work, that nome but a madman would
think of a second edition of it. That as to the
engraving of the charts, they were worth to him
no wore than.what they would fetch as old copper,
&c. ;" considering all; these things, and the immense
profits which already have arisen, and ire likely to
arise to Mr. ,Stockda)e from this purchase, Mr.
Vancbuver 'thought-lit was a hard measure to be
charged 24b1. for thus accidentally being unable to
fill the letter of his contra& with Mr. Stockdale,
from the loss of a few of these plates ; upon this
difference between' these Parties this Adion was
brought, and it came now to be tried.
It appeared. that these plates were lost as above
stated, and that they could not besupplied without
the expenee to Mr. Stockdale, of near 3001. to pre-
pare for a second edition, which he' has a' right to
furnish, if he pleases, before the whole of the first is
sold off, &c. It appeared also by the evidence of
Mr. John Robinson, after some hesitation, that
although there is great hazard - in the purchase of
such a work as this, yet it. was not a bad bargain
at fool. c.
Lord Kasts;ox said, that'when an Author refieEL,
ed that Milton got only is guineas for his property
of Paradise Lost, no author ought to think bar-
gain with a Bookseller too hard. This was with
reference to former days ; however, the present, he
hoped, were not' quite so illiberal, for of late, lite-
rary men were better. rewarded, aye, and that be- ;
yond their original bargains with the Booksellers.
too, when their 'Works became popular : such he
knew. to be the case with the learned Author of
Burn's Justice, for the Bookseller had obtruded
upon_ him a further sum of money than that for
which he had sold his right in the property..
~The
same was the case in many_ other insu:tices which
His. Lordship knew, but which, out of delicacy to
the Parties,. he should not name. His Lordship said,
he could not forbear expressing a wish that some-
thing of this kind Mita hereafter mark the condo&
of Stockdale towards the Anchor of the Work
in question. 'He Could not help hoping that Mr.
Stockdale would ;behave more liberally than be had
hitherto done on this occasion.—,However, these
were considerationt which entered His Lordship'S'
mind as a private man—as a Judge sitting in a
Court of Justice, he was bound. to say thataccord-
ing to the letter of the bargain between the Parties
in this Case, Mr. Stockdale was entitled to insist on
having the.plates, he had bought, or else the value
of them of Mr.. Vancouver, in a Court of Justice.
One of the, jury desired to know in 'what.condi-
don the plates were, after the usi'Which had been
made of them before Mr.. Stockdale became the
purchaser. He was answered,:, that the plates
were in a condition to pull off a thousand copies
without re-touching.
