IRICKBR EV. FRENCH.

This was an Anion to recover ;631, by Messrs.
Friciter and . Henderson, Papet-h3ngth in Bond-
street, against Mr. Bogle French, an eminent Mar.
chant in the ,City, for fufnishing two rooms, a
drawing-room anti another room, at the Defendant's
country house lit Dulwich,under the direnion, not
of Mr, but of Mts. French. The two rooms were
pered and painted and ornamented in an exquisite
manner, such as but few artists are capable olexe-
cuting. The work wus chiefly performed by a
person of the name of Fluguknt, who, it appeared,
did not
get for his skill and labour above 301. in this
case. :The Defendant paid into Coup short of the
whole Bill 361. and contested the amount, alledging
that the charge, was extravagant ; anti the single
question was, Whether the charge of 1631. was
reasonable gar .not in this case ?

It appearrd by the evidence of the Witnesses for
the Plaintiff, that the charge was ndt only moderate,
but much too low ; some went So far as to say,
that the workmanship itself, without the materials,
was worth all the money. •
'Mc Witnesses for the Defendant made out no
case whatever.

Lord ELL INSOROUGH observed, that Mrs. French
appeared determined to have about these rooms a
certain portion of the magnificent, and it was pro..
per it should be paid fur.. He observed, that he
should have liked the evidence on the part of the
Plaintiff rather better, if it had not been quite so
strong, for by them the. charges were greatly too
low; that was very probable as affairs of this kind
are generally concluded. However, there was no
imputation upon them ; and therefore they were
worthy of credit in 'a Court of Justice. His Lord.
ship observed,-that he could. have. wished that the
poor artist, whose skill and labour were the chief
ingredients' in the compound of this considerable
Sum of money, had had a little better reward
than, about pl. Not that he meant to say that
Tradesmen, in any business, especially /ti a bit.
siness like this, where there is so much of chance,
So much depending upon fancy, so much capital
to be embarked, and who can employ Inge.
fauns men upon speculation, when they might per.
haps find it difficUlt to procure employment, ought
not. to a have a very liberal profit upon what they
do in such,eases ; but still he could wish,: that at.
though tradesmen were nut to be held strictly to
any interest for their capital, in the profits of their
trade, 'yet their charges ought to bear somcanalogy
with that . which msght.be called, handsome returns'
of eapital.with interest. -Profits ought to be allowed
to be handsome—but not outrageous; and. when an
article was disposed of, the chief value of 'which
arose limn the skill and labour of an ingenious man,
his Lordship wished that a liberal regird should be
had by the employer to the interest of such n person,
and he should come in for something like. a propor.
donate allowance. t

OLD BAILEY.

THIRD DAY—FRIDAY, DEC. 2.
Tara day Lord A —LVANLEY Attended upon the
Bench with the other Judges, and by whom was
tried,

Spatibrg, a Shoemaker at Chelsea, upon
the charge of having committed an unnatural crime
with a boy between fimrteen and fifteen years of
age, and the charge being substantiated in evi.
dence, the Jury, after a very short consultation,
returned the verdict of—Guilty—Death.
Elizabeth Kemp, otherwise Chapple,, was indicted
upon the capital charge of burglarious"), breaking
into the dwelling.house of Mrs. Anthony, and
feloniously stealing therein a candlestick and several
other articles, her property.
The Jury were not satisfied that the Prisoner
forced the door, they therefore found her guilty of
the simple felony only.
Elizabeth )Irailford, junior, was indifted for
stealing two muslin frocks, and other articles of
wearing apparel, laid to be the property' of Mr.
Ford.

It appeared from the evidence of the Prosecutor,
that he lived at No. 2, chequer-alley, Whitecross.
street : that on the 17th Ckl, he hired the Prisoner,
a very young girl, as a servant, 'it being agreed
that she should go home every night to her mother's.
.She continued with him until the night of the 22d
Of
.oetober, after which she did nos.-return. He
had not, however, any suspicion of her having
robbed him until the 13th of November, when his
wife missed seNeral articles. On this he went to
the place where the mother had informed him that
she lived, but no such person was to be found. He
then took an Officer, and went to Sr. Luke's
School, where be had heard the girl say she was
brought up : but he found that equally untrue. Upon
his describing the girl, the Officer thought he knew
such a one, and taking the Prosecutor to the house,
they found the mother, and the girl soon after came
in—in this woman's apartments they discovered
fifteen pawnbroker's duplicates in a cupboard,where.
upon they took the-girl with them to the pawn-
broker's shop, but it turned out that not one of the
articles so pledged belonged to the Prosecutor ;
they were then proceeding to another shop, when
the girl acknowledged to the officer,. that she had
pawned Mr. Ford's property at the one they had
just been at, but 'that she had burnt the duplicates:
on going back she particularized the articles, and
they were immediately produced.
In her defence she said her master had promised
not to hurt her if she told what she had done with
the things, but this he positively denied.
A question was started by the Counsel (though
there did not appear to have been any employed for
the Prisoner) whether the frocks should not have
been laid to be the property of the child, but which
Mr. Baron GRAHAM was decidedly against, and
Lord ALVANLET, to chew its absurdity, observed
that if such was admitted to be the case, a parent
would be liable to an ;idiot) of trover if after one.
child ghould have out-grown its cloaths he should
make use of them for another.—lie admitted that if
the parent or any relation had given a boy a watch,
for instance, why then he would have a right in
thai property, bur-this could not apply to the wear-
ing apparel of infants.

The fads being so clearly made our, the Jury
found her Guilty, when the Prosecutor begged from
her youth to recommend her to meter.
