LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL. 28.

THE KING V. CARE.

MR. GARROW said, he was very sorry that this
case was not yet settled, but that was entirely
owing to.the obstinacy of the Driendant. He was
in possession of a piece of land, • which had-been re-
covered from him by Ejeament, but he had refused
to deliver it up, and had gone into gaol, where he
said he should stay while he lived, rather than de-
liver up the possession ; and thiS was attended with
great inconvenience to the Commissioners, who
'wanted the use of this land for Public Purposes. _

Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD, who was of Counsel for
the,Defendant, foresaw that there must be a verdiet
against him, and therefore did every thing in .his
power to persuade the Defendant to give up the
contest; and the Commissioners, wishing that this
man might not be ruined with the expencc of a con.
tested trial, generously offered to defray all that
.expence, and over and above, to make him a pre.
sent. of zol. for delivering up the possession of this
piece of land, it being
.59 much wanted for Public
Purposes, and possession was all they wanted.
Mr. baron HOTHAM, before whom the case came
on, took great pains to persuade this man to agree
to this proposition, which was so -much to his ad-
vantage, -but in vain ; they were obliged to try the
cause, and they obtained a verdict ; but even then
the Plaintiffs offered the same termkagain, wishing
this poor but obstinate man not to be ruined ; these
terms ho then agreed to accept. Since which he
had refused to deliver up the possession of the land ;
and an Attachment issued against him for Contempt
for disobeying the Order of the Court, the terms of
the Submission being made a Rule of Court. He
was taken on that Attachment, and now remained
on it. He was now brought into Court for its
further order. This obstinate.man chose to remain
in prison for life, and to refuse possession of this
piece of land.
Mr. Jusrice LAWRENCE asked the Defendant,
how he could be so foolishly obstinate as to remain
in prison for life, rather than do that which the Law
would compel him to do ?-,-He said, that the Plain-
tiffs had acted most kindly towards the Defendant—
he ought to be thankful to them, and to have em-
braced their offer.

The Defendant said, that they had not ',Aid to
him the zoi. they promised, nor had it been offered
to in rime.

Mr. GARaow said, that the Plaintiffs had offered
to. forego all the costs of this case, although they
their verdid, and although he had given them
so much trouble—and moreover to give him the
201, now,
Mr. -.ERMINE advised the Defendant to save
himself from destrudion, by taking this offer, which
was abundantly generous, but he refused most ob-
stinately ; and Mr. •ERSKINE said he could do no-
thing. with him.
The. Court then observed, that thia Defendant.
bad entered into an engagement,
.which lie had not
performed on his parr, and therefore the Plaintiffs
...could have no difficulty. They were entitled to sue
out a Writ of PossesSion as to 'the Land, and an
'Execution against Me person of the Defendant, for
the... Costs and in the interim, the Defendant should
remain in custody ; and after the Plaintiffs had ob-
tained Civil Justice, the Court would see whether
.the case would deserve further notice. He was
ordered to be brought up on the last day of the
Term--the Court also observed, that this man's
adversaries had been much kinder to him than he
had been to himself.
