LMV INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 24.
HUDSON V. MAhJORIBANKS.

This was.an action to recover 3001. upon. a policy of insur-
ance. The defendant pleaded that he was not liable, and upon .
that point issue was joined.
As this is the third time that this action has been tried, and
as we have before given a cop*s report of it, we shall merely
state the leading facts of it, which lie within a very narrow
compass. 'A policy of insurance was effected upon a cargo of
wines shipped on board the Swallow, in the latter end of the
year 1820, to be delivered part in the port of Bristol, and part
in the port of Dublin. The Swallow was wrecked off Port-
head, in the Bristol Charmele the wines were in consequence
placed for some time tinder salt water, and were all of them
subsequently sold at a loss in the Bristol market, notice of their
abandonment being first given to the underwriters. The ques-
tions for the Jury to decide were—first, whether due notice had
been given by the plaintiff to the defendant of the abandonment
of the' cargo ; and secondly, whether the plaintiff could reco-
ver for that loss as an average or a total loss.
Mr. Serjeant VaireliaN contended, that due notice of the
abandonment had been givet, by the plaintiff, and called several
witnesses to prove that the wine had. been injured to an amount
fully equal to half its original value. Ile maintained that as
such a loss was in law considered equal to a total loss, he was
entitled to a verdict for the whole sum mentioned in the policy
of insurance.
Mr. Serjeant LENS, for the defendant, insisted that the offer
of abandonment had never been accepted by the defendant, and
also that the plaintiff could only recover as for an average loss.
To make out this part of his case, he called several witnesses
to prove that the wine had not been so much injured by the
salt water as was represented on the other side. Some of them
who had purchased part of it, and sold it again at a profit, de-
clared that they had never received any complaints of its being
insufficient in quality from any of the parties to whom they
had sold it.
The Loan CHIEF JtrsTicE,_ in summing up the evidence,
informed the Jury that they had two points to decide—first,
whether the assured had a right to recover at all or not ; and,
secondly, if he had, whether it was for a total or an average
loss. In order to ascertain the latter point, he should trouble
them to state to him in their verdict, whether the cargo was
deteriorated more or less than half its original value by the
wreck of the ship Swallow.
The Jury deliberated for a few minutes, and then returned a
verdict for the plaintiff as for an average loss, subject to a
reference ; finding at the same time that the deterioration of
the wines did not amount to 50 per cent.
The Court then adjourned at 2 o'clock till the Pith January
next, when the Sittings will again be resumed.

THE LOTTERY ACT.--William Robinson, No.
17, Castle-street, St. Martin's Parish, was
brought up at Bow-street yesterday, charged
with keeping a Little-go, in order to effect illegal
insurances in the State Lottery. It appeared
that in consequence of private information two
officers went to the house of the prisoner, where
they found papers containing certain hierogly-
phics, which they swore related to illegal as-
surances. Mr. H ESSE, Solicitor, attended on the
part of the Commissioners of the Lottery. The
prisoner was recognised as an old offender. Ile
said he knew nothing of the papers, but that he
supposed they were brought there by a woman.
Ile was sentenced to two months imprisonment.

Yesterday a pupil at one of the public hospi-
tals was brought before the Magistrate at Union.
Hall, charged with creating a great disturbance
at the Coburg Theatre, by annoying the audience,
and interrupting the performances of the pre-
ceding evening. The defendant said that it was
with great regret that he now appeared in such
a disgraceful situation ; and assured the Magis-
trate that his misconduct was attributable to his
having drank too much wine. Mr. ROKAUER,
the box-book and housekeeper, said the defend-
ant was undoubtedly in liquor, and for that rea-
son he did not wish to proceed any further against
him. The Magistrate thereupon. fined him ss.
for being drunk, and ordered him to make a
compensation to the officer for assaulting him.—
The defendant having done so was discharged.

The following are copies of Letters of Thanks
addressed • to Captain NICOLAS, who. so ably
commanded the Naval Force on the Tyne, dur-
ing the late disturbances :

" Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Dec. 10, 1822.

" DEAR St R,-I cannot permit you to leave this port without
expressing the very deep sense of obligation I entertain for the
able and effectual support which you have afforded to the civil.
authorities during the late disturbances amongst the keel-
men of the Tyne. I beg you will, therefore, allow me in my
own naive, and in the name of the other Magistrates, to offer
my sincere thanks to yourself, Captain Rochefort, Lieutenant
Aplin, Lieutenant Stewart (your First Lieutenant, who com-
manded the boats,) and to the Officers, seamen, and marines,
of his Majesty's ships Egeria, Nimrod, and Swan, under your
command, for their zealous and indefatigable exertions in the.
performance of an arduous duty ; and you may rest assured that
the cheerfulness and alacrity with which it has been performed,
will not soon be forgotten.
" I must at the same time beg you to convey my acknow-
ledgments to Lieut. Stewart, who commanded the Swan cut-
ter, in the month of October last, for the very spirited assist-
ance which he rendered me, in quelling a riotous attempt of the
seamen to obstruct the navigation of the port.
" I have the honour to be, with very sincere regard,
" Your obliged and humble servant,
" ROBERT BELL, Mayor."
" To J. Toup Nicolas, Esq. Capt. R. N."

" Clerk of the Peace's Office for Northumberland.
Newcastle, 12th December, 1822.

" Stit,--I am directed by the Magistrates acting for Castle
Ward, in the County of Northumberland, to state to you that,
although they are aware that the service in which you have
been engaged during the late disturbances among the keelmen
of the River Tyne, has been necessarily confined to the 'ad-
joining County of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, yet they feel them-
selves called upon to acknowledge the very beneficial effects, in
the preservation of the public peace within their district, from
your judicious and indefatigable exertions, in aid of the civil
authorities. And lam at the same time desired to say, they
request that you will be pleased to convey to the officers, petty
officers, non-commissioned officers, seamen, and marines of
the several ships of war under your command, during the above
service, how highly the Magistrates appreciate the zeal, firm-
ness, and uniform good conduct they displayed on all occasions
while employed in assisting the civil power.

" I have the honour to be, &c. &c. &c.
" THOMAS DAVIDSON,
" Clerk of the Peace for Northumberland."
" Capt. Nicolas, C. B. &c. &c. &c. H. M. S. Egeria."

" Newcastle, Dec. 10,1822.

" Sin—l have the honour to convey the unanimous thanks
of a general meeting of the gentlemen interested in the Coal
Trade, to yourself, and the officers, seamen, and marines, of his
Majesty's ships Egeria, Nimrod, and Swan, under your com-
mand, for the great and eminent services rendered by you and
them during the late disturbances amongst the keelmen of the
river Tyne. We are fully sensible that the exertions of the
naval force were most importantly serviceable in protecting the
trade of the river, and in producing the ultimate submission)
of those misguided men, and their return to order and subor
(lination.

"I have the honour to be, &c. &c.
" DIXON BROWN, Chairman."

The Magistrates of the county of Durham have also express,
ed, in very handsome terms, their sense of the meritorious ex.
ertions of the naval force.

It is reported that tl►e Keelmen of the Tyne
have taken the opinion of Counsel as to the
spouts being a nuisance to the navigation of the
River; and Air. Brougham, it is said, has given
them so much encouragement, that they are de-
termined to set apart weekly a small portion of
their earnings, in order to raise a fund, that they
may try the question at the next Assizes.

" It is suitable to the station which this city holds in the civi-
lized world, to manifest the sentiments which
.you have ex-
'Pressed on this awful and calamitous occasion.

" The outrage which has been committed'ccitly admits of
'no palliation from any attendant eh:cu.:lista:We ; the offence,
however, is a more proper subject for the consideration of the
Courts of Justice than of this place.

vereign, surrounded by the attiibutei of -111.ajesty andAoyal
Justicepower, and intrusted with the sword of Justice and mercy, for
the good government of the people of ILland, I still remember
that lam one of that people ; and therefore, even from - this
place, I am entitled to address my countrymen, and alios'e all
my fellow.citizens of Dublin, in the voice of friendly admen:-
tion and affectionate remonstrance.

" Dreadful as the event is, which has'a4sendiled you in this
place, employ your humanity, prudence, and deliberate temper,
to derive from the terror and consternation of the present mo-
ment, the salutary maxims of good order, cheerful obedience
to the law, and mutual affection amongst yourselves. Assist

The following was the Answer of his Lxcel-
lency to the College Address :---
" The affectionate interest which you have exprested formy

ment, would afford me consolation uncle; the ,spertest. afflic-
tion, and Inspire me with confidence in the greatest peril:
" Your sentiments on this occasion are worthy of your 'an-

the respect and the high estimation which you have acquired
throughout Europe and the civilized world.
" With regard to the offence which has been committed, you
may be assured that I have no other feeling than the desire that

CORK, DEC. 20.
Mr. OMEN.--This day a most interesting meeting , took
place at the Commercial Tavern, which was more numerously
and respectably attended than any we have witnessed for a long
time, to hear this benevolent gentleman develope his philan..
thropic plans for the general improvement of society, but
which also admitted of being extended to this country, *Here
some amelioration is so peculiarly necessary. The Mayor was
in the Chair. _ _

Mr. Oven entered into a very elaborate development of.his
pimps, from which it appeared, they could be adopted on either a
limited or extended scale. He manifested how necessary it was
to give a new model to the moral or physical machinery of so-
ciety, to enable it to meet, with advantage and success, the in-
creased power operating against it, from the extension of me-
chanical, machinery, the improvements in the arts and sciences,
and the excess of supply over deMand. lie met the several
objections that were started by the Rev. Mr. Hart, Dr. Power,
Dr. Magin, and Mr. William Bullen, who were the only other
speakers, with much success.
