LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY Iq.

BEFORE HIS HONOUR THE NItSTER-OF THE ROLLS.

ANNUITIES

COWLAND AND OTHERS V. HAMMOND AND OTHERS.

This singular cause came on upon further di-
rections this day, and was argued by most of the
Bar-at great length, being retained -for a great
number of Annuitants upon the estates of the de-
fendants' ancestor, who was tenant for life, situate
in the several counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Cam-
bridge, and Hereford, to which the deceased was
tenant for life, and died in 1810, leaving the an-
nuitants unpaid to a considerable extent;
Aulong the annuitants were—Sir Charles Cox
iiipsley, Sir Charles Blipte, Sir Richard Bicknall,
Sir John Cope, Mr. Duharree, Mr. Driver, and
Mr. Williams, who was receiver of the estates for
years, and stood charged with giving an 'undue
preference in payments to some tlf the creditors.

The 0.61164 being the widow, and a personal
representative of the first and principal incum-
bra ncer, filed her bill against the above, and many
other annuitants, who, by their respective Coun-
sel, prayed for references to the Master, respect-
ing the priorities of their claims, which, from the
complex nature of their securities, became one of
the most perplexed, and apparently inexplicaWe
cases, ,in the,marshaling of such claims and pri-
orities, ever agitated in a Court of Justice.
It was endeavoured by the Counsel for the
plaintiff to marshal the' costs among the annui-
tants, as they were gencrallyin possession of the
subjected estates, instead of fixing the plaintiff
With ail such costs.

His notfoutt, with luminous intuition, gave a
concise and clear judgment on the seemingly con-
fused maze; granting the references prayed for
at the costs of the plaintiff, except those of Mr.
Dubarree and Mr. Driver, who had failed in their
claims before the Master.—Further directions
were granted.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 12.
PERJLIIIY.—THE KING V. LANE.
This was an iudictinent for perjury, at the pro-
secution of Mr. Birch. The parties were both
surgeons and apothecaries, and the defendant had
.
purchased the prosecutor's business at Penton-
ville, for 5001. for securing the payment ot 1501.
of which he had given a warrant of attorney. The
prosecutor c3ttcred up judgment on this security,
and the defendant obtained a rule Nisi to set the
judgment a,ide, on the ground that 101. over and
above the legal interest had been taken- by the
prosecutor upon this Warrant of attorney. Upon
the defendant's affidavit to this effect, the present
indictment wits tonnded ; and ;he prosecutor now
attempted otherwise to account for the payment
ot this,,lol. at the time of executing the warrant
of attorney ; but the Court and Jury being of
opinion, from the- facts which came nut on the
prosecutor's cross-examination, (viz, that he bad
made out a list of patients to hand over to the de-
fendant, many of whom were dead or removed,
and some of whom had never employed, or had

• AZ47'ol:lll' V. MORStIEO', 13,11:T.
This Was au.action brought by Moni..Antoine,
a bunker in France, ugiinst Sir. Frederick i\lor's;-
head, legal representative of Sir George Moris7
heads to recover 31271. the amount of five bills of
exchange, accepted by Sir G. Morshead at the
time he was a piisdner at Verdun, in 1806% The
plaintiff represented, that lie
,advanced the Money
for the laudable purpose of supplying the necessi-
ties of Sir G: Morshead, and other Gentlemen;
While they were prisoners of war. Among the
bills there was one for 20001. indorsed by Sir G.
Morshead.
The defence to this action was established on
the .9th of Anne, which renders void all securities
given for money lost at gaming. 'ro bring the
case within-The Statute, it was stated, with re-
spect to the bill of 20001. that Mr. Estwick, an
Officer in the British Navy, lost at a gaming-house
in Verdun, kept by a person named Balby, 10,0001.
Balby having on one occasion recommended Est-
wick -to give a Bill indorsed by Sir George Mor-
shead, the 20001. bill was drawn, indorsed '.by Sir
George, and delivered to Balby. It then found its
way, with others, into the bands of the plaintiff,
who apparently gave a valid consideration for it.
- Mr. Prescot,"an officer in the navy, being called
as a witness,- stated, that he was a prisoner, at
Verdun 1806 ;he knew Sir George Morshead,
who • was also a Fisoner. Balby, the Com-
mandant at Verdun, kept a gaming table, and
• Estwiek in 1806 lost near 10,0001. at it ; witness
saw the 20001. bill in question, indorsed by Sir.
George Morshead, delivered by Est wick to Balby..'
The bill was given for money lost at play by Est-..
wick ; Sir George- Morshead never lost any money
himself. Balby aftewards committed suicide.
This being the usual substance of the defence,
it was contended the plaintiff could not recover.
Mr. Serjeant BEST, in reply for the plaintiff,
considered it a most mischievous .defence. Mon-
sieur Antoine, he said, stood in the situation of
an innocent holder, and the Jury would not tell a.
man, who had liberally assisted the subjects of
this country, while prisoners of war, that he
might return to France, and inform his country-
men there was no justice in England:
Sir VICARY -GIBBS having stated the law with
respect to the question, observed, that it ought
not to be supposed that this country could with—
hold its gratitude for liuneaae assistance afforded
his fellow-suhjects.by foreigners in France or else-
where, yet a Judge and British Jury were not to
shut their eyes against an iikgal transaction. If

the Jnry believed the evidence of .Air. Present,
'viz: that the bill was given to [Lay for a gaining,
t100..-it vas void by the law of England, and
could not be enforced. If they believed it was not
giyen under such circumstances, they would find
for the plaintiff. The Learned Judge did not t,ee
that t'hc objection to the 20001. bill applied to the,
others.
The Jury found for the plaintiff, damages, in-
chiding interest, 15501.
Counsel have liberty to move to set aside the
verdict, on points of law arising Out of the cast.

OLD BAILEY, FRIDAY, MAY 12.

UURDER AT LISBON.---(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)

At ten o'clock this morning,
convicted at the List Old Bailey Sessions, of time
murder of Harriet ciaskell, in the kingdom of
Portugal, and in; the s.lth .of the King, but whose
judgment was then respite(' upon three points in
"the indictment, was put to the bar.
Sir Stmo.: Lt BLANc then -proceeded to pro-
nounce the-opinion of the Twelve Judges upon
these several objections, as follows
Sawyer was tried anti convicted under
t.l) authority of a special commission, appointed
for that purpose, for the wilful murder of Harriet,
Gaskell, in the Kingdom of Portugal, a subjett of
our Lord the King, and in the peace of the King.
Upon this conviction, three objections were
taken upon the indictment, in arrest of judgment.
The first of these, was, that the jurisdiction Of this
country had no power whatever to try the olfenee
of an individual committ'ed in a country beyond the
a and under the dominion of a foreign Power ;
second,
that the indictment did not, upon the
ses,.
face of it, show that the parties were British sub-
jects ; and, third, that the indictment did not con-
clude, as being agreeable to the form of the sta-
tute, &c. With respect to the first point of ob-
.jection, namely, that which related to the 33d of
Ilenry VIII. the words and construction of that sta-
tute must-be taken as implying, that the offender
must be tried by a Jury, where the offence is comn-
mitted. But it also appeared from that statute,
that if a murder is committed upon a British sub-
ject, it may be lawful, upon inimmation of such
murder being given, for any of his Majesty's
counsel to bring the offender to justice, whether
the offence be committed within or without .the
kingdom, or any of his Majesty's shires. -That
such offender shall be tried'undet a Special_Col3l,:
mission of the Great Seal either within or without
the kingdom, or any of his .Majesty's shires, for
such - offence, the words were suAiciently clear;
and admitted Of the construction- which hat! 'I
since the passing of "the Act been put upon
tile!n. Ile then cited three cases where 'convic-
tions had takcn place pursuant to this Statute.
The first was the case of one Chambers, who had
committed a murder in-Barcelona, in the kingdom.
"t Spain' in 7°9( when the law took its coarse.
'The nest was the case of one Ealing, who was
convicted Of a murder committed in Sweden in
1720 and the third Watl that ill which Captain -
Roche was convicted of the murder of one Per-
guion, at the Cape of Good Hope, in 1775. In
all these cases, the construction of the Act tplotwl
-applied, and time law had taken its regular course.
They were all cases, too, , where the offence had,
been committed beyond the seas, and out of time
dontinions of his Majesty.--. With regard to the,
second objection, the words of the Statuteare,,,
