WILSON V. ALLAN.

This Case came before the Court on a Motion
to set aside a Writ of inquiry. The Action was
brought for false imprisonment by the. Plaintiff,
a retail Merchant at Gainsborough, against the
Defendant, a Clothier in Lancashire. An inha.
bitant of Gainsborough, named Charles Wilson,

had been indebtel to the Defendani, and a Writ
had been token cut against him. The Oh er
charged with the execution of the Wri:, is
the Plaintiff to be the person named in it, went to
his house, and not finding him, threatcned rela-
tions, broke open several doors, anti behaved in a-
violent manner. The Pli:intiff at last, to prevent
disturbance, surrendered himself, and was kept in
custody several hours. The Officer then IZ)und
that he was wrong, as this Charles Wilson had
never had any diali.r.g3 with Mr. Allan what-
ever. He liberated him of course, but from
the uproar in the house the whole town way inform-
ed of his misfortune ; an opinion prevailed that he
was bankrupt ; no one would trust him any longer,
and all his creditors came in with their demands.—
He therefore instituted this Adiou to recover
a compensation for the injury he had sustained,
and the Defendant having let judgment go by
default, the jury awarded him 501. On the
part of the Defendant it was now urged, that these.
damages were excessive, and °Nee:lions were taken
as to the manner in which the trial had been con-
cluded before the Sheriff. After very able argu-
ments from the Bar, the Court advised the Plaintiff
to consent to the damages being paid down, and it
was agreed that the verdict should stand for 301.

EDINBURGH, FEB. 8.

COURT OF SESSION.

FRIDAY Lord CRAIG, Ordinary in tlle Parlia-
ment House, gave juignient in a cause founded upon

the followinfcircumsi:mces :
" A gentleman who is a merchant in Leith, hay.
ing some time since been in Musselburgn, a person
there informed him that a respeitabic Company in
Leith had stopped payment. In consequence of this
he sent imfortnation by a letter, to one of the pub.
lic banks in Edinburgh, of what he had heard.
The Company having been in the prataice of doing
business with this Bank, inquiry wits of course
made at the partners, whether the information was
well founded. The result of the inquiry shewed
the report to be without foundation, as the Corn.
pany's affairs were in a very flourishing situation.
This being fully ascertained, an aaion of damages
was brought by the Company against this gentle-
man for propagating the report."
Mr. JAMES MONTGOMERY, Advocate, appeared
for the Defendant, and admitted that his client had
been misinformed, but that in giving the informa_
tion to the Bank, he was not influenced by any
motive of doing injury to the Prosecutors, and that
his conduit was prompted by being connected with
that Bank, which made him think it proper Ito corn.
municate what he had heard. The report had not
originated with him, he had mentioned from whom
he had got it, and merely retailed what that person
had informed him of.

The Hon. HENRY ERSKINE, for the Prosecutors,
stated, that the Defence which had been set up, was.
by no means sufficient to justify what the Defendant
had done. The credit of Merchants was a.delicate
subjea, as the best man in the Country might be
ruined by a false report ; that it became the De-
fendant to have made particular inquiry-.into the
truth of such report before he took such a step as he
had done, by writing to the Bank on the subject.
As he had aded without taking the trouble of being
better informed, he must, therefore, abide the con-
sequences ; and as the injury attempted against the
chary ter of this Company had been publicly done,
so they had a right to have that charader publicly
vindicated in Court, and Damages and Expences
awarded.

After hearing Parties, the Lord Ordinary pro-.
nounced an Interlocutor, finding the Defendant iis,
ble in 301. in name of Damages, besides all Ex..

peaces.

TRAVELLING.—It is rather odd,. that the first
stage from Edinburgh to Glasgow, is charged is.
4.d. per mile, and the other stages is. only ; and
from Glasgow to Edinburgh, you are obliged to
submit to the same charge.
From Glasgow to Carlise, about too miles, in
the Mail Coach, the fare is 455. ; and from Carlisle
to Liverpool, about izo miles, it is only iss. Such
glaring differences must appea► very singular to Fo.
reigners, when in this Country.
A curious instance of swindling deteaed and yet
effeaing its purpose, occurred a few .nights .since t
—A shop-keeper in town, having retired to ,his
back-shop, left the charge of the front apartment to
a faithful dog. A genteel dressed woman soon af-
ter entered, without ceremony laid hold of a parcel,
which had•been left: to be called for by a customer.,
• The dog, true to his charge, with as little cere-
mony, laid hold on the thief, who dropped the par-
cel, and screamed aloud. The shop-keeper instantly
came forward, beat the faithful guardian of his pro-
perty, released .he woman, and satisfied with some
trifling question which she put as an excuse for her
call, politely apologized for the rude reception she
had experienced. More civil still, observing the
parcel on the floor, he requested to know whether
she had dropped it ?—Receiving of course an an-
swer in the affirmative, the parcel was politely de-
livered to her, received with equal politeness, and
with many expressions of thanks, and the lady
walked off, unmolested, with her booty.,

Late last Saturday night, or early on Sunday
morning, the house of Mrs. Henshaw, in 'Marlbo-
rough-place, Kennington, was entered by some vil-
lains, and robbed of a quantity of plate and oleic
property to a considerable amount,

" On arriving at Vaudreuil, he met the advanced
guard-of the rebels on their march to the Cape.--
Scarce had he perceived them when they fled on
every side.
He also met and dispersed two other divisions
on their way to join the others at the Cape.
" On arriving at LeMbe, he found the insur-
reCtion general ; and enquired for the Commandant,
josEpra IitAvILLK, who, upon being interrogated,
replied that the people had revolted, and he could
.not prevent them. General CHRISTOPHE ordered
him to assemble the dragoons, and re-establish or-
der under pain of personal responsibility. The
General, after advising the people to return to
their rapeCtive habitations, set out for Port Mar_-
vot where he found a great nnmber of rebels in
.
arms. However, by making them suppose he had
A great body ot troops along with him, they were
intimidated, and, at his command, laid down their
arms. He seized some of them, and commanded
them, on pain of death, to disclose the ringleaders ;
and those that were pointed out as such by the
general voice, were instantly shot by the rebels
themselves, who then laid down their arms, and
returned to their habitations.
" On his return to Lembe, CHR.IST-CIPHE found
that new troubles had broke out there. He sent
for the Commandant FLAVILLE, who refused to
come to him. He then sent a detachment to arrest
him, _and they seized him and embarked him for the
Cape, there to await the orders of the Governor.
"-During_ the absence of General CHRISTOPHE,
Cape town remained perfectly tranquil. General
