COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

DECEMBER 1.

EETTISON 11. SILL H. BROMLEY, BART.

This wai an issue 'out of Chancery, and :he Prin-
cipal purport of its being sent to this' Court -tor the
decision of a Jury,• was
,to :,scertain . the validity of
the kilt of the late Sir H. Bromley PounCelert, Bart.
deceased.
After Mr. PARKS had stated the case on behalf of
the pt:lintitf, arid the will was -Put in and read, a Mr.
Smith was called to Prove the testator's hand-writ-
ing,, and the hond-Writing of-himself and the other
twoattesting witnesses, which he did.
The A'rtoaNEY-GENERAL interrogated. Mi. Smith

.on behalf of the defendant, and if appeared that one
Othe .at testing. witnesses was. a Lady of the name of
S,4iiith, whose husband was appointed by the Very
same will to be one of 'the executors therein named
to the testator's estate and etreels ; upon which lie
toqls: an objeaibn to-the validity of the will,' inas,

Enoch, as the law requiring that a will should be at=-
tested-only by persons who were credible and com-
petent- witnesses that an interested person- could
_riot be a -.credible yitness ; that Mrs. Smith being
the wife of the executor, Mr.. Smith, and he baying
SaA interest tinder the very will which she attested,
could, not thcretore --be a competent witness, and,
consequently that faEt affected the validity of this

will,. and it could nut be received in evidence to dis,
pose of the real estate.
Lord ELLENICOUGH desired that Mr. Smith might
be examined as to whetb,m- he derived, by bequest
or otherwise, any interest or benefit by the will its
question; and it appearing that he was merely
named as an.execotor, ‘vitbolit any benefit, profit,
or legacy whatsoever, his Lordship ruled - that he
having no interest dire6tly by virtue of the will, e
fortiori,. his wife could have no interest under it,
and consequently she! was both,a-competentand a
credible witness, and as such could fairly and legally
attest. the samer. But as it was a new. case; and of
sorne.magnitude in - future discussions of Such sub-
he thought :it most advisable, therefore, that,
the July 11“.,uld,,find for the' plaintiffs,. and, the point
beoreserved- tor more sqlettin aditiOicattou, in the
shapeof a special case.

LINLEY V. COCKER, GENT.

• This was an action brought :by Mrs. Lin ,wi-
.
claw 'of the late Mr. Linl4,, one of ih'e Patentees of
Drury-lane Thyre, ag.inst the defendant and his
brother, who are attorniesi'and hiive been in .0:-.
-partnei Alp togetbei,forceitain monies came
-their band; belonging to Mrs. Lailey, Subsequeat to
'the death of: het huibind.

It appeareditiat Mr."Linley, by his will, 'hatl,ap-
pointed Mr. Sheridan and Mrs. Linley to be axe-
.cutors of the same ; that Mrs. Linley only under-
took the.cxecuton-hipi, Mr. Sheridan•in o way:in-
terfering ; that some profess'innal business had, been
done by the. Gentlemen (who are the defendants),
for Mr. Linley in amount, time, the aount, of whiCh
when they were called upon to account with Mrs.
Linley for the monies by them received, they con,
sidered thernselves entitled 'to stop. This,, however,
Mrs. Linley would not consent to ; and therefore
she brought • this aaion. •
The witnesses who were proved those faets,
and,a verdi,3 was given for the plaintiff—Damages,
3001.

• Mr. Sheridan, who had been called upon by sub
pcena as a wimess, was in Court the whole time,
end tooked extremely well. He had a short con-,
versation with the Attorney-General when the cause
was finished. •

It appeared tttat the whole principle he rested
tenon the • the circumstance, whether. the Messrs.
Cockers, (who certainly 'are very honourable and
respectable liraititioners) should or should not claim,
by way of set off, such dedu&icips. The COurt icas

DECEMBER 2.

THE KING. V. GRIFFITH.

This was an indiiment charging the defendant,
an Attorney of Cow, residing in Somersetshire,
with sending a letter conceived in highly offensive
and unbecoming 'terms to Mr. M.essiter, also -an
Attorney. of Court, residing at the. same place, with
intent to cause a breach of the peace.
Lord ELLENBOROUGHIased if the defendant could
tot still put himself right by making such an apology
as would ptovesatistattory to Mr. Messiter. If the
case shoved be made out, and the defendant be call-
ed up for judgment, the Court could not allow any
thing of the kind to pass lightly by.
Mr. GARROW said his client had 'felt the impro-
ptiety of his conduet from
,the first moment after he
had sent the. !Apr in question. He. was now in,
struded put''ici,-, to express the defendant's sorrow
for having written the letter, a sorrow which his-
client would himself. have expressed in writing,
were he nor -at this :moment - !actable to use his
a .tn, which was hung.in siing, in. consequence of
an accident. _
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL-was inclined to take
the apology, but Mr. .Messiter insisted on having a
verdict, leaving it to the defendant, by the.- line of
prt,ceeding
.he might adept between ,this and the
first day of next term to _satisfy Mr. 14Ie,siter that'
it was unnecessary to call for the judgment of the
Court. .

The case Was then provd, when ix appeared that
Mr. Messiter baying obtained lt dgment. f0r.1261:
costs, against a gentk man of tilt name-of Jeregniah,
Donoi'an, had on the following day pnt in a writ of.
into Mr. Dunovah's house ; at ..which
the defendant, who was the friend of Donovan, and
also his partner in a banking coocerp, in. Somerset-
shire, which they carried on at Wi:icanton, in So
tnersetshire, and suspealing that Mr. Messitcr, who
also carried on' the business of a banker in, the same
place, rnight have bzeu actuated by a desire to in
iere the credit of Donovan, did, on the impulse of
the moment, and while in a state of irritation, write
the libel in question.

The Jury, without hesitation, found ,the defen-
dant guilty. ,

WEDNESDAY, DEC. G.

Two or three causes stood over, one on accovnt
th'e absence of the Attorney-General, who was

too unwell to -attend: Mr. GAIMOW iaid he WaVil
hopes his Learned Friend, would be able ►o cone
down <to7cnoi row, • his illness being, -1.4.
tempOrary.

WATSON' V. PEARS.

This- was an action tor initinging • the patelt
of the .Plaintiff., The cause was _opened- by Ur;
SELWIN. ,

Mr. GARROW opened the case, which he said Was
not a frivolous one, although 4,6-light be so treated.
It was an action foe infringing the Plaintiff's patent,'
granted him as the inventor. of the transparent ;code.
In ancient days thiegs of thiskind were disregatd-
ede but in the,. poesent state of polished- society they,
!became itivortant.This,was a • valuable discovery
to those who were fond of the conveniencies of easy
and elegant. ablution. Of soaps, he, knew nothing
-further than. washing , face and shaving _himself,
which he had done with his, client's soap, to his de-
light ; it resembled, in utility, the famous-razors of
Mr. Pa'ckwood',. who had- advertised that a man •
might shave himself with perfect safety, while he
followed the chace in full gall-up.; and the opera=
tion of washing with the transparent soap was so
pleasant, that. one might' get , out of bed .three or
tour times a night to perfoi in that operation with
it. - The Defendant, envious of . the reputation of
this seap,, had imitate; it; and was able to undersell
.the inventor, because he produced an article, of
coarser materials; which he called Peers's ,Transpa-
rent Soap,- an injury, which me be was now called upon
to _repair in damages to the Plaintiff. Ife , under- •
stood that some atterppt ew as to be made,tO prove
that- the Plaintifr.s'einvention was not new. That
a Doctor Letton claimed die Merit of the inven-
lion 'of-Abe Transparent -Soap; bet that would. not do,
be was not-so as well 'might it he iiirlintajned that
he had extracted sun-beams, out of 'cucumbers.—
There was no doubt that the, Plaintiff was the in-
ventor Of this elegant soap, and,inore, that the
would•pioteet him in the enjoyment of, its-profits.
The patent. being proved, it was dated the 10th
of May, 1808, and -granted to- the Plaintiff: for 14
years; inrolled within a, month.
Mr. Nicholson gave a scientific aescription of the
composition of thiS soap, and said he believed it to be
the ale,olute nivention, of the Plaintiff, as did also
Mr. Fred. Accum, :Soho, Professor of Chemistry at
the Royal Institution. -•
Mr.- Davidson; the Perfumer, of Fleet-street, Mr.
Rigg, Mr. Blevii, MreStats, and. Mr. Cryer, . emi-
nent in the erade of. perfumery, said, they 'had:
sold .this article' for the Plaintiff,-- who was patentee '!
of, it. They never heard- of any such thing as the !
Persian wash-ball or the Philipine wash-cake, or any
other transparent soap before-that of the Plaintiff's
traesparent soap. • ,
Mr. PARK,' tOr •the Defendant, allowed the two
Chemists -who had been examined to be men of
'science ;-they bad not heard of theicakeor wash-ball
which had been mentioned, and they might, reason-
ing Scientifically., conclude there could be no- such
thing unless compounded of the materials whiCh con-
,.stituted the mass of the Plaintiffs transpaient soap.
Bet One faa.Was worth ten, thousand philosophical
refleEtions, or want of knowledge ; and • that fael., he
should prove,' notwithstanding the wit of his Learn-
ed,Friend, "who.had contrived to eraise a prejudice
against the witness.- , Lie' should r call a person to
L prove , the faet, and, that :was ::Dolor Lettone And
here he could not, help .obser6ng, that he .had the
advantage of his Learned Friend in. the use of soap.
Mr. Garrow says,' observed Mr. Park, that
he knows no more of soap than the use h 4 makes of
it in washing his face.". Now, I have read in old
books of our profession, that a man innst„eorne into
A Court of Justice with clean hands, and therefore
I always wash my hands before I come into Cciait,
because I like to conform to the_ancient custorn of
coming into a Court of Justice with. clean hands;
but Mr. Ga:rciw cares\ not about .his hands, so his
face be clean. He then said he should prove that
the plaintiffs was not a new invention, but had
been borrowed/ by the Plaiptiff of Dr. .Letton, 'and
and then obtained a patent for it.
It then appeared in evidence, that Doelor Letton
had invented a composition,. called The Persian
Wash, or Philipine Wash Cake, Which' was, in
fad, a. transparent soap; and had transferred it to'
a Mr. Cockel, who transferred it to Shaw and Ed.;
wards, Perfumers. After various intermediate proofs'',
to this effect. • . ,

Doctor Letton himself proved the fast, that he
had invented a perfectly traniparent soap, the tomt-
dation of which ,-was .Doctor Steere's Opodeldoc,
which was a solution of soap with spirits of wine;
that he had imparted the secret to a young man, in
the • service of Ching and Butler, and then he
thought the recipe of no further value, and so com-
municated it to several others, • amongst whom
was Mr. Ball, of Dublin, for which be was pre-
sented with 501. long before
.the Plaintiff obtained
this Patent,

Lord ELLENBOROIiGii.--"*The witness consider-
ea,the secret as'fiett, and then he communicated it
to several and therefore, Mr. Darrow, your client
is elearly .no inventor ; he appears to be the imitator,
and not the inventor."

Mr. GARROW.—" Does your Lordship consider
this as a clear case ?"

Mr. PARK..—" A transparent one, that your client
must be nonsuited."

Lord ELLENBOROUGIT..--" There really is no-
thing in the secret. of this process; .it seems to me
no yore difficult than the making of a jelly—the
Plaintiff must be nonsuited."

Mr. PARK.-" No, my Lord; a nonsuit will
convey no intelligence to the Lord Chancellor, by
whom this issue is sent here to be tried, and there-
fore, a verdiet for the Defendant if your Lordship
and-the Jury please." ,
The Jury, after a. few
_Words of .his Lordship,
fou4d a verdict for the Defendant.

was proved by one of 'th'e untertunate.girls in :the
house.
. ,
Lord ELCENBOROUGH asked, whether theDefen-
dant-ciaied a lien upbn these gocds on account of
a'debe whiyh she had incurred in the course of fo-
stitution, for that could not be endured in a Court of
Justice.

Mr. PARK Said, No, that *mild certainly:::not
do. .Bu on account of money Which the Defen-
dant had attu2lly advanced to _redeem these-goods out
of pledge.
He called a witness,- one Solomon Jacobs; who
swore that he called on the. Plaintiff ftoni (te D.--
fendant, and told herthat be had a demandon. her
of tWo.suins of money of 31. Cos. and 31. ss. making
Gl; 15S. - She did-not deny the debts, but said that
she would give hii-n her7goods in pledge,and then
tell a sailor, who she expected soon to arrivep.that
she had-pledged the goods, and so get the money of
him tPpay this. debt. •
Lord ELLENBOROUGii..---" This is pledging goods
on an undertaking to redeem' them by the wages
of prostitution. That will not do in - a Court. of
Law."

. Mr. PARK.—“'No, my Lord; certainly nOt."—
Verdi& for the Plaintiff. Damages referred to an
arbitrator. • .•

BAKER V. HAWSER.

Mr. Gnnnow said this was a .q-ui tuna action to re-
cover penalties under. 'a 'stat'ute, on account: otl the
Defendant having acted-as. the agent of, a iVlerchaut
—he being a Cierk in the Customs of the- port of
Liverpool. He could not try the cause without the
evidence'ofJohn'rithothy Swainsori, and he did not
attend, but he would have the Jury sworn for:the
purpose of calling that gentleman on his itibp4enct;
in order to ground a motion against him for at-
tachment for 'disobedience to- the process of the
Court.

Mr. TOPPING produced a certificate on behalf of
Mr. Swainsonand said he was a perfectly-respect-
able merchant at Liverpool.
Mr. GARROW.said he kneW nothing of Mr. Swain=
son;except that it was his duty to attend the Court,
in obedience to Its proCess, and that be did not do
so, but had sent a paper Which could not be read in
evidence.

Lord ELLENEOROVGH said, that he-could not re-
ceive any written paper in evidence as an excuse
for the non-attendance of a witness Who was bound
to attend.

Mr, TOPPING observed, that this action was
brought upon .a statute passed about three centuries
anct an half ago.
_

Lord ELLE-NBOROUGPI said it was certainly a very
old, but it was. nevertheless a very whole.some stao
lute; to prevent CuStom-house Clerks being' agents
to .Merchants the principle of which had been
acted upon in many modern ibstanco, such as
prohibiting Clerks of the Bank being Stock-Bro-
kers, &c.

. _
Mr SWainson was then _called on his subpona,
and -the Plaintiff nonsnited.

OWEN „N. THOMAS JOIN JaNEs,, AND
,ANOTHER.

Mr: PARK stated, thatJll4. was a hard case upon
the Plaintiff if he. could not recover in this .cause•:
he was an AuCtioneer in AnWesea, and Mere an
estatebelonging to M9ssrst.•Parry and Gwillirn Lloyd
Wardle, ksq, in virtue:Of his mart-rage, which estate
was dire&ed, by will, to
.be sold,• sander sealed di-
realm, and it the sale did not come up to such di-
re lions, then._ the sale was void. The, f)laintiff
would not incur the risk of selling the eitate,'whh7
out indemnity against the duty, which .he should
have to pay the Excise ,in case the sale should be
void.

Mr. Ellis, Agent for the Defendant, undertook to
indemnity the Auctiomer. The estate was sold, it
did.not amount to 'the. sum Mated in'the sealed 'di-
rettions,•and the sale 'was void. Proceedings were
afterwards had in the Exchequer against the Aue-
tioueer, and he was compelled to pay the duty out
of his own pocket.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL 'GM Counsel for Col.
_Wardle could not-attend to-clay, but instructed Mr.
Garrow to contend on behall" of Colonel Wardle,
that Ellis exceeded his -authority in entering into
that indemnity for him.—Ellis is dead,• there can be
no proof on this subjeP, and Lord ELLENBOROUPIi
held, that a general authority as agent, would not
do in this case, it must her specific.—Plaintiff non-
.suited.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEc. 6.

SOLODION V,' BEWICY.

This was an anion to recover 4991.• from the Sun
Fire~Office, on a policy of insurance, for certain
goods, the,property of the Plaintiff; which were lost
or stolen during the conflagration of Drury-Lane
Theatre, in the month of February last.
It appears from the testimony of several witnesses,
on the part. of the Plaintiff, who resides in Vinegar-
yard, that previous to. ..the fire he had a stock of
clothes, cloth, stockings, and various articles of
wearing apparel, of 17001. value; but that on the
morning after the fire, .in consequence of his being
obliged, by the assistance of his neighnours, to re-
move the greatest part of his property into the act-,
joining houses, and even to deposit some of them in
the open court;, on taking stock he found a defi-
ciency of 4991. the loss of which lie could only ac-
count for,. by supposing they had been stolen or lost
during the prevailing confusion, , For remuneration
for this loss he applied to the Sun Fire-Office,' but
they refused to re-imburse him. He therefore
' brought his action, on the groUnd of the Office being
bound, by their policy of insurance, to secure to the
insurer all losses of every. description that might be
sustained' by fire, whether by 'adual conflagration,
losses by removal, or otherwise. -
On the part. of. the Fire-Office, it was proved, that
1601. had.been tendered to the Plaintiff, which he
refused:

And as the. Plaintiff did not satisfa&prily prove to
the Court the amount of his adual losses, ths.TOry.
Akturned a verdid for the Defendant.

BEG leave to inform you, that ever since th;

rea - which, from its obstinately resisting every cAprse of
Medicine prescribed by the. most eminent of the Faculti
here, and undergoing several severe courses of salivation,
and twice discharged from the Hospital, with little relict:
