LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, M4Y 17.

TA,KER, V. DR. JACKSON AND OTHERS.
AN Annuity Office had been established in Strat-
ford Place, on an enlarged plan, with a considerable
capital, and of which the Defendants were Directors.
Plaintiff had provided the office of this institu-
tion with desks, and other articles of furniture, to
the amount of 531. z is. old.; for which sum this
alion was brought.
NI,. FR MINE, for the Plaintiif,•proved the deli-
very and value of the goods.
M. GARRoW, for the Defendants, stated, that-
the unilet,eking of this. Annuity Office, however un.
successful, had been entered upon by some Gentle-
men of opulence from.lndia,. with a view to drive
out of this traffic those adventurers and miscreants
who were daily imposing on the weakness and igno-
rance of the public. All but Mr. Locker had paid
the share of 601. which was the original contribu.
tion ; and these Gentlemen probably supposed, to
this extent only they were liable ; and it was to re-
move this _uncertainty on their minds, they now ap.
pared in Court.
Lord ELLE?. NBOROUCH..---" It has been proved,
that the Defendants are Diredors in this Comb
pany, and they certainly are liable to the ex-
tent 4 the dAnand."—Verdift for the Plaintiff,
531. I ts. oft].

FRANC PS HRSICETH v. JOHN GOWEN.

The Plaintif is a young Lady of considerable beau..
ty, who had been seduced by the artifices of the
Defendanya builder in Cleveland-street. This ac;
tion was brought fOr the sum of 401..85. 6d. being
the charge for the food, lodging, and protetion of
the infant offspring of this connexion.
Messrs. ERSE I I'VE and WIGLEY, for the Plaintiff,
observed, that the sustenance. of natural children
.tias rot only a sacred and moral obligation, bat a
legal one; and they produced evidence to shew, the
child had been, suitably nursed and maintained, and
that the charges were not unreasonable.
Mr.. GAR aow, for the Defendant, admitted the
serious duty imposed by God and Nature, for the
proteEtion of. unfortunate infants so produced; but
lie contended, that the Lady had, agains,t the con-
sent of the Defendant, taken it away from the house
of the latter, and from that time Mr. Gowen was
no longer liable. The evidence of Lucy Britton was
given in support of this defence.
Lord ELL Emiottottox.—" If it appeared on- the,
testimony, that the-mother had taken the child away
-without the privity or tuicurrence of the Defendant,
the present Plaintificould not 'maintain this a6tion.
The fad} in this respei depends on the female ser-
vant, on which you must exercise your judgment.
Against this you have many collateral circumstances,
and you have the less disputable authority of the
letter of the Defendant."—Verdi& for the Plaintiff,
401. Ss. 6d.

As natural children are not otherwise provided
for by our Laws, it is material corretaly to ascertain
the foundation on which their maintenance depends,
that they may not be abandoned.

JOHN.COOKE V. WILLIAM GEORGE.

The Plaintiff is an opulent brewer at Twicken-
btm ; the Defendant is the driver of the Twicken-
ham stage. To the laver were delivered, by the
clerk of the former, a banker's book and 401. to be
lett at Messrs. Masterman and Co.'s bankers in
White Hart Court. The Defendant, instead of per_
sonally executing his commission, put the book and
money into the hands of Miles Jones, horsekeeper
at the volt in Tun Yard, who, instead of comply-
ing with this order, absconded with the property.
The question for the consideration of the Court and
Jury was, whether the Defendant was liable, he
being only a servant to Maddox, the proprietor of
the stages ?
Messrs. ERSKINE and LAWS contended, that he
in this transaelion, and in many others of the same
kind, had not acted in the capacity of servant to
ltda(id)x, but that he was the principal, and had a
compensation for his trouble, of- which his master
had no portion. Mr. Raven, the Clerk of the Bow..
street-Office attended, and produced the informa-
tion given at the Office by Wm. George, in which
be had called himself a stageman, and Miles Jones
servant.

Mr. GARROW, for the Defendant, endeavoured to
shew, that this Miles Jones had often taken the
money of the Plaintiff to the banker's, and that the
coachman on this occasion had expressly said, he
could not take it himself.

Lord ELLENBOROuGH interrupted Mr. ERKS I NE,
who was commencing his reply.---" If you believe
that the Defendant was in the habit of receiving a
separate compensation for his trouble,- there is no
difficulty in the case. Even where no compensation
is made, and the party to whom any trust of this
kind is confided, commits gross negligence, he is le-
gally responsible. In the present instance, Maddox
appears to have had no share of the advantage, and
the affliir is completely between the Plaintiff: and
Defendant. As on the evidence it appears the con-
veyance was not gratuitous, the Plaintiff is most
clearly entitled to recover."
Verclitt for the Plaintiff 401.

SAMUEL SHATT v. W. !AMTS.

The Plaintiff is an Informer, the Defendant a
Publican, in the neighbourhood 14 Wlitechapel.—
This action was brought upon the statute zg Geo.
11. c. 3. s. 6. which enaas, that if any person
shall keep a house, room, or garden, or other place,
'fur public dancing, music,
,and similar entertain-
ments, it shall be deemed disorderly, unless it be
licensed by the Magistrates, according to the usual
form, and the Penalty affixed for the offence is root.-
Messrs. GARROW and MARRYATT stated the
evils which arose to the morals ot society from those
infamous hops, infested by wit—s and rogues, p.ick-
pockeis, and thieves of every description. They
adverted to the place in St. George's Fields, once.
devoted to those amusements ; but by the wisdom
of the Legislature in passing this ad, and by the

DIED.

To Mr. 'A I.IO:KAS TAYLOR, Surgeon, 4,510. 9, New
Bridge-street, London.

DEAR SIR, •
T is with the most heartfelt satisfaftion- that I
address you on the incomparable excellence of your in-
valuable Medicine, LEAKE's PATENT PILLS. In the
Spring of this year I had the misfortune to contract a Vene-
real Complaint, attended with the most alarming and dan-
gdous .symptoms ; insomuch, that I have been confined
to my room tor a v7h6le week together, and not able to stir
out of it ; I had no rest night nor day, and sullred the Most
excruciating pain and torment, and what was still worse,'
my eyes grew weak and dim, so that I could scarce discern
any objed, if ever so close tome, and expected nothing less
than the total loss of my sight.--From a 'stout, healthy,
and rather corpulent man, I became a mere shadow, and an
object of pity and compassion. My friends lid all given .me
over, and though4t, my recovery impossible. In .this dreadful
state, and expeaing every minute to be my, last in this
world, I was fortunately recommended by a heignbour to
try your Medicine; but having tried all medical aid to no
purpose, and being at an enormous expellee, it was some time
before I could be prevailed on to take ,them ; at last I sent •
for six boxes, and before I had taken them all, I found con-
siderable benefit; my pains gradually decreased, and my eye-
sight grew better, and, to the great surprize and astoaish-
meßt of all my friends (after taking three boxes more), my.
health and strength was perfeCtly restored, awl I am now.
(thanks to my God and your invaluable Medicines) well'
and hearty as ever I was in my life.
You are at full liberty to publish this in any manner
you think proper, for the benefit of society at large, and
which I should have sent you sooner, but was fearful. of a
relapse. I remain, with the utmost gratitnde,
Dear Sir, your obliged. humble Servant, K. L. LEI
