LAW, ,REPORT.

COURT OF KlNG's BENCH, Fs2. 4, •
RULES AND ORDERS.'
IN the course of argument upon a special case,
the Court took oceasiooto say what it is interesting
to the Gentlemen in the Profession to be acquttinted
with, as it relates to, the. Rules and Orders of the
Court.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH Observed, that what my
Lord klstryoN had required to be done on the de.
livery of papers on special cases, to the Judges,
should be attended to; namely, that of marking,
in the margin, the material points on which the
case rests ; he was sorry to say, that this rule had.
of late been very much relaxed. He had several
cases now before him in which it was not attended
to at all, but the pra4ice must be. revived.
Mr. Justice GRO3I said, that for some time after
it was directed by my LotstkewvoN, the rule was.
pretty well observed, but that it had' been after.
wards relaxed,' and, lately, shamefully negieded,
but this neglel should not continne.•
Lord ELLuNisuaoucti said, there wm another
Rule of Pradiee which had been negleded, and
'which must be revived. The names of COunsel who
signed pleadings, arid various other. rapers whkh
required their names, should be at the foot of the
copies which were left' with ~the Judges, for that
was the authority of the Judges for hearing the
cases argued. .
Mr. Justice Goose.--" I am of opinion, that
the Party who does not set down the name of the
Counsel
,at the bottom of the papers which-require
it, is not entitled to have his case argued.", .
ROBERTSON FRENCH.
This was a Cause upon 'a Polk), of Insurance,
which has been several times before the Court, in
which a new Trial Was had before. Lord . ELLEN.
BOROUGH and a Special Jury'On WednesdaY• last in
Guildhall, when a Verdi& was found for the Plain_
tiff'. f,
Mr. GIBBS now moved for a Rnle to .shew
Cause, why the •Verdid should not beset aside,
and a Nonsuit entered; or, in the•alternative,Ahat
if the Court should not think the Plaintiff ought to be
nonsuited upon the proof as applied to the Policy,then
that a new trial should he awarded, upon the ground
that the Verdi& was against the evidence; upon
which, after a statement of some length, and many..
appropriate observaticket, the Court granted a Rule
to sitew Cause, at the same, time intimating, that it
could not be farther considered, this Term.
Mr. ERSKINE moved for leave to file a Criminal
Information against two. Gentlemen, Alexander
Sinclair, tuud Thoinas Dowe, Esquires, both of the
Town of Liverpool, the one for having written, the
other for having cart ied to Ford-North, Esq. of the
above place,. a
,Challenge to fight a Duel with Mr.
Sinclair, in consequence or some misunderstanding
which took place between them in a conversation.
Rule to shew cause granted.
BOROUGH OF PLYMOUTH.
The subjea of the. EiCaion of Mayen for the
Borough of Plymouth, upon which the Voters'have •
been twice 18 and 18, and by which the Corpora.
tion has, for, some time, been without a Mayor,
was put into a train to bring the matter to an issue,
to be .tried before a Jury, in which the main'ques.
tion will be,. which of the contending parties is
right in its construction on the Constitution of that
Borough.

ektEAT GRIMSBY.

The Great Grimsby Quo 'Warrant° Cases were
deferred .to she next Term, on account of ;he great
pressure of business remlining to be done in this, es.
pecially as. two of the Judges of this Court lutve a
duty elsewhere (upon His Majesty's Commission in
the County of Surrey).

The matter which' starldi in the Crown Paper
from 'Portsmouth, stands over until the next Term
also, for the same reason.
