This ivas,tto anion for money had anti received
to the Defendant's' use.

The Plaintiff is an Underwriter, and brought
adion to recover from the Defendant toool.
which he had paid as the insurance on the vhip Kitty,
under the following circumstances, as stated by Mr.
GIURS:

A Danish vessel, called the Christianus Septimus,.
with a valuable caret, was taken as prize. by an
English cruizer, and carried into the Cape of.Gonid
Elope. Upon investigation; she was given up; but
was in•so bad a condition, as not to be able to pro.
ceed ilnher- voyage to Amsterdam, for which place
abc WAS originally destined. The cargo being, to be
disposed of, Messrs. Greetnier, Trail, and Taylor,
agreed to purchase it. It was to be consigned to.
the. Defendant in England„ who was to accept Bills
to the amount of toioool. These Gentlemen puro
chased the.ship Kitty, and procured an order from
the Governor to trans-ship the goods, on Condition
that they were to be sent to the original place of
destination. The goods being bought in,cheap, the.
partners thought proper to put Sol. per cent.' on
them on the insurance..-and, inaread of sending
them hack to Amsterdam, they were sent for Eng.
land. On.the way, the ship was taken by a French
privateer. Actions had been brought against the
other-Underwriters upon this ship, and were afterO
ward's abandoned; but the Plaintiff in this aiion
, had paid -the insurance in ignorance,: and sought to
have it back again. • -
Mr. John 'Taylor, broker, was then examine&
kle said he.had been employed by the Defendant to
make the insurances, and that, in consequence of
direetions from the Defendant, he made application.
to the Underwriters to- make an adjustment of the
account, and pay the amount ; •but it appearing that
the Witness had not Settled any of the accounts
personally with the Plaintiff, he was Nonsuited.

The Plaintiffs had an extensive Commercial House
at Surinam, and the Defendants were great Corn.
ruercial Merchants in London. The former had
consigned 103 bags of coffee to the latter.; and hay.
log received advice of the sale, and of the sum re.
ceived on their accoutst, the Plaintiffs drew liiU
upon the Defentlants for the amount, which Bills
they refused to accept,. alledging, that they hack for-
got to charge fur the insurance of the, good!, front
Surinam to London, although all charges for lighter.
age, storene, insurance against fire, See. had been
charged. on the account sales. Upon beAng
upon to 'sliew thaw authority for inakir:g the insur.'
lxe, they alledged, that they had nvalet lump in.
surance upon all pioduce coming. botri 0. e, nd had up.

it appeared, that: the Defendantt, had sent a

COURT Ot COMMON PLEAS, JuLy to.

LODGE V. DRYDGES.

• •
This .WAS an Anion brought to recover the amount
of a bill chwrged upon Brydges, who instituted Ihe
claim to" the Chandos. Peerage, which has for some
years 9(000 the attention of the 1- loutte of Lords.
The Plaintiff is the I lerald .who was employcd.by the
Defendant to prepare the ;vide:lce cf his claim, and
it was-allowed on all hands that he had discharged
his. trust. with fi3elity and skill. When the case. of
the Peerage was decided • last year against the De_
fenda,,i', the Plaintiff gave in his bill, charging.for
his ‘r:,uble and expences the stun of 5391. He
had bev employi.4 tor several years in assisting the
Defendant's claim. This charge, howcyer, appt ated
to the Defendant to be enormous. -He consulted his
A tiornvy, who advised him to apply to the C tllcge of
I Jerald,. for their opinion. This waS accordingly done,
and the College .gave it as, their opinion that if all
expences were paid, tool. would he sufficient for the
Herald, and if he received 1501. he wintld be amply.
NO.:- The Delendant„therelore, gave the Plaintiff
ago!. for his expeoces, and,:lsol. for himself. With.
this, however,
.the Plaintiff was not satisfied, but
demanded ,5391:
.and brought his anion for that
sum.

Several witnesses Were called on the part of the
Plaintiff's claim, WI. none of them could specify the
particular items, nor 'how much the Plaintiff ought
fairly ,to be, paid. • Among the rest Mr. Brydges,
the Defendant's brother, Stated, that the Plaintiff had
many difficulties to encounter, on account of the
defeetion of Mr. Towpshend; the Herald before em-
ployed; who had ittteoded the consultation 3 of the
Defend.ints Counsel, ;and six weeks before he (the
Witne,M knew of it, had gone over to the other
Side and assisted the 'Counsel fur the Crown.
Mr. Townshenti, who was present, begged leave
to be heard in his own defence, as the statement then
made was c,,rtainlk not true. _ _ _ _ _

Sir JAM it.4•MANsFIE r.l) observed, that nothing said
in that Court ought to•injure his charaeler ; but the
Court could not at present enter upon the affair: He
said, that this case could not be left- to the considera
thin of a jity, as they:had no evidence whatever to
guide them in their vertft4k. The only thing that
could be dune wai to refer the mati zr.to a full meet.
ing of the College of Heralds, who were most com-
petent to decide upon it. The case Was .a=rdingly
withdrawn from the Court.

LONDON:Printed by larcif
44 the Suti„Ori let,

the South of 'reboil'?

What is the current rate ?---It remains at 6 per
cent, which is the legal rate.
By what rank of people are silver notes issued ?
By bankers of the South of lieland in general, and
by some particular traders also in that part .of
land, as I understand.

Have you heard of any of those having Giled
No, riot lately, in Cork or Limerick.

lias not the issue of those Notes necessarily in.
creased the necessaries of life at home, as well as
articles of export ?—They. have. I have brothers,
bankers yin Limerick, and also' in Cork.

Has any mode occurred to you for restoring the
circulation of silver in Ireland ?—No other than
that of proedring dollars.
Do you think that would be attended with much
difficulty ?—I should suppose not.
Do you know if it has been thought of in Ire."
land ?—lt has been suggested by myself to the
Irish Government, and I have made a tender my-
self of a supply to the amount of from 300,000
to goo,ooo dollars in the month of December or Ja.
nuary last.

Had that proposal been accepted, at what period
could you have fulfilled it !---200,000 dollars inaine.
diately, and the remainder in the course of two
m

What hindered its being accepted was
afterwards mentioned to ine that the Trish Govern.
ment had made an arrangement' with the Bank of
England 4.ur a supply of them.
Did you mention any rate at which the dollars
might be current 3—lt was, rather a general propo-
sal ; but it occurred to me I might supvly them
at the rate of the price of dollars of, the day in-
Lloyd's List, and the rate of exchange, of the day.
Has there not been a great 'increase of'the bad
currency since that time 3—There has certain!)
'been an increase, but, not in a greater degree than
usual ; it has been increasing the most mischievous.
ly within the last twelve months.

. Can you speak of the rest of the South of Ire.
land ?—The sante consequences attend Tipperary,
Kilkenny, Wexford, Kerry, and Waterford,'as' to.
the issue of silver 'notes ; the number of forgeries'
throughout the'Southern parts of Ireland have been
very great.
la) all the Bankers in the South issue silver
notes'?—They dd. •
Do you know any issuers of ailier notes in Wa.
•terford, &c. to have failed ?—Not
'hat is your opinion of the expediency of silver
notes?--They ought to'be SuPpressed,.as soon as it
can be done; by a supply of silver ; there is still a
very good supply 'of goodsilver, inlheSouth.of Ire.
land; which temains linked up,' and that silver would
come into circulation if small notes were tuppresse&
Is the provision trade, flourishing, or failing off?
has faNn off,,and this year considerably.
Yqu have mentioned silver 'notes' to have been'
issued by traders as-.well as bankers; itate.the man.
ner- in which the traders issue them ?—I understand
they issue their mires, in'general, payable to bearer'
afterai days, for 'small sumst as lots 'as 35. 91d.
and 6s, to do away the illeg,Ality' of the 'issue, in
their Opinion; the Law prohibiting the use of such
notes, unless by registered bankers.
Do the traders issue notes for higher. sums
Yes, I understand they do ;'.'even guinea notesi
payable at 2 t days, to hearer.
Arc you acquainted with the file of,exchange be.
tween Dublin and England .it has been
and still continues very high ; I attribute it
pally'',l6 the restriftion of payments in'specie, and
to the, falling off of the exports of Ireland, and the
great increase of the imports ; and I conceive the
preseht increased absentee
:remittances tend like-wise
to increase the exchange. I'also think :hat the in.
crease of the paper circulation of Ireland adds
to it ; it. has created a false credit in the country,
by tempting a number of individuals to bec.;me
bankers without adequate'capital, who, in order to
increase the issue and circulation of their own notes,
give facility to other individuals without capital to
issue theirs, which the said bankers discount for
them, and who are thereby tempted. to increase the
evil, by increasing the, imports, into Treland, and
'to increase the, prices of Ticport Articles beyond
their demand atForeign Markets.
Are you of opinion [betels a depreciation of pa.
per in Ireland ?—I am, by the increased issue of
privte bank paper, anti is the exchange rises, the
depreciation increases ; and the premium on gui.
fleas, in my ()Pinion, is a strong proof. of the de..
preciation of paper., • I do not by .this mean to say,
that an WO) Bank Note of a guinea passes nominally
less than for a guinea ; but when 'I find I can buy
more or get more 'value fora guinea in gold than for
one of paper, I naturally infer that the paper is de.
preciated. . •
11,s that depreciation any effea upon the price of
commodities in Ireland think•it has of raising
their price. •
What is the premium given on guineas ?—lt
rises and falls according to the exchange ; it is 'now,
I believe, 7 or• 8 per,,cent. I recollea the premium
to be so. high as as. in a guinea, which is io per
cent. and even so high ,as as. 61. for a guinea. I
have known' suari of 2 or 3000 guineas„bought at
that rate ; I have bought, and sold
.guineas myself
to a large amount. •
