COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 10.

GAMMEN V. SCHMALL.

This was an argument upon a demurrer. - The
action was brought against the defendant, as ac-
ceptor of a bill of exchange, which he had made
payable at Batson's., in Cornh ill. The deck ration

hail not averred that the bill had ever hceh pre-
sented for payment there, and upon that ground it
was demurred to.

It was argued by the Counsel for the plaintiff,
that although it was generally a 'matter of con-
venience to state where a bill was to be payable,
still that the acceptor was bound in law to his ac-
ceptance, and Wright be sued Without the bill hav-
ing been presented at the place where it was
stated to be payable ; and that there was, there-
fore, no occasion for setting forth in the declara-
tion that it had been so presented.
The Court held that it was necessary to prove
that the bill bad been presented at the place
where it was made payable, and, therefore,, that
this averment was necessary in the declaration.
An acceptance did not necessarily admit, 'that the
accepted had effects of the drawer in his hands,
but was often given on the faith of remittaoces
expected to be made. If the person to whom a
bill presented for acceptance chooses only to
give a special acceptance, which limits it either
in time or place, and if the holder of the bill is
content to accept of such special acceptance, the
contract between them is, that the bill shall be
paid at the time and place so specially named.
They,i therefore, considered the declaration in-.
saificient, as it did no aver, that the bill hail been
presented for payment at the place named in the
special acceptance.

ARCHES COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS, FEn. 10.

BEAVER V. BEAVER.

- This was a cause of 'restitution of conjuga
rights, promoted by Thomas Beaver, the younger
Esq. of Maugrun Hall, in ,the county of Norfolk,
against Ann Beaver, of Farghani, in the same
county.' It appeared that the parties were married
in,the parish church of Fargham, on the 24th of
August, 1795, and they co-habited together as
man and wife till-the 30th of June, 1802, when
Mrs. Beaver quitted her husband's house ; that
some time after Mrs. Beaver promoted a suit of
divorce or separation against her husband, by rea-
son of cruelty, and after (livers proceeding's were
had therein, the Learned Judge dismissed Mr.
Beaver from the cause. The present suit--came
on now to be heard upon the answers of Mrs.
Beaver only, no witness baying been examined
upon the libel..
The Cotut. (Sir JOHN NicuoLL) said, the mar-
riage °Laic parties being admitted, and also the
withdrawing of the wife from the society of her
husband, and there being no ground for institut-
ing a suit of cruelty, it.was bound in discharge of
its duty to admonish the party to return again to
the society of her husband.

We mentioned lately that. Nathakiel Blair had
been, tried, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged,
at Edinburgh, for uttering forged bank notes.
On Friday last it was discovered, that, he had an—
ticipated the sentence of the la►v, by becoming his
Own executioner.
