A Meeting of the Lieutenants and Czntlemen of
Essex is to be held to.ini!rrow, far the purpose of
taking int,► consideration a Plan of Defence in case
of Invasion, similar to that adopted in,Kent. •
The large and liberal prnmotion which- has just
taken place. in the Corps of Royal Marines, gives
the most general satisladion, a satisfanion s hide
is not Confined to the Corps alone, but is felt by►
the Country at large. The handsome tribUtes late_
ly paid in bath Houses of Parliament too to the
merits of that Corps, are equally honourable to it,
and to those who so generously, and -at the same
time justly made them.

We long ago stated from ukdoubted;Orniativt,
that the French Emigrants who had been for years
fostered -in this Country, and fed by its benevo.
lence, had given in innumerable Plans to the Ch' f
Consul, upon their return to France, for the Invw.
sion of our Island: we have no doubt should an in;
vasion be attempted, Cf 'seeing many of these
famous fellows amongst cur invaders. Should such
he the case, we would have them all hanged upoit
gibbets mast.high, as !nemorials ofFreach Grati:
rude and -Ear/ .:4/.7

The SECRETARY at WAR is eXpeneU to bring
forward without delay, the. Bill which has been sr.
verakimea hinted att in' the House
.of Commons fur
encouraging the offers of Voluutary Services in Case
of Invasionr. We trust will meet with the
same support which attended the Ar 4 of Riserve
PM, li tthe Spirit of; the. Country' is properly
rou4ed,; we do riot ofseeing all idea ofalarm
at Inirasioo succeeded by. the wish that the attempt
may be mole.
Amongst` the Tarn- patriotic offers of service, we
have to notice that 01111-ssrs. Pr CKFOKb, of Wood.

WOOD V. DPNTEL.

TM% was an action Is-taught by the-Plaintiff, who
is a Tailor in Pall Mall, against the Defendant, to
recover his Bill, amounting to 581. I is. and some.
odd Pence, for Cloaths with • which the Defendant
• had been furnished in the course of IS months. 'The-
Defendant during the time that these Cloiths were
furnished to him, was Cletk at she house of iviessrS.
130ddington and Co. in the City, and he it the son
of a Carrier, and now become a Carrier himself.
In this short time he had had a •ven coats and ten
pairs of breeches, and when he began his dealings
with the Plaintiff,.be was only 17 years of age.
"fo this thion was pleaded the common plea of
Infancy, and 301. was paid' into Court, the Di
' fendant relying•on it, that that sum was' enough for
' us much of the &oaths as could he deetried neCeita-
*tie?, which an lisfant is bound 'to 'pay for, brit not
More. To this the Plaintiff teplied, that the De.'
oaot had, after he came of age, promised to pay
the whole Bill, upon which issue was joined.
It appeared by the evidence that the Defendant
bad shewn a d4,positinn to pay his debts, and that
he told the Plaintiff' he, the Defendant, had a It:.
gaey which was soon becoming due to him, and that
•he should not lose a shilling by him. He hail va-
rious co•oicrsationt with his Tailor, in --all of Which
he promised: to pay him his whole Bill, but it ap.
peared that he had always attached some condition
or other to these promises of payment. -
Mr. bait contended, on behalf of the Defendant,
that his Clienrwas entitled to a- verdia. He ob.
served that this was a ease of great importance to
the Public. He maintained that -this Bill of the
Plaintiff was extravagant, considering the length of
time, in which these cloatiss were furnished, and
considering also that during that time: the Defendant
was a mere boy. •He maintained that if the Jury
were to sanction this Bill, their verdia would ope.
rate as an encouragement to young men to go into
haunts, of dissipation, arid to support their extrava.
Since they might he tempted to plunder their Mas.
ters, of which there were too many instances.
Lord ELLEN3o4ovpu—Wherber the 301. which
was 'here pod to Court, did not admit the
Plaintiff's cause of anion?
Mr. ['mut said it was not, because the 301. was
paid in to Court on the ground that it was enough
to pay for what the Defendant had had for necessa.
ties; he was not hound to pay for more, and there.
fore as to the rest .he had pleaded Infancy, and
therefore that could not be any 'ratification of the
'Plaintiff's reply of a promise. after the Defendant
,game of age, which was conclusive upon, the sub.
Jett.
Lord ELLV!,:BOROUCII observed, there were two
question, for the consideration of the Jury krt this
Case. 'First, Whether there was aoy unconditional
promise made by the Defendant, atter, he came of
age, to the Plaintiff to pay -the whole of Isis Bill ?
Upon which 'his Lordship observed there slid not
snpear to him to be any evidence that was condo.
sive, for he thought that a condition of one'kind or
other overrode the whole of the promises which'the
Defendant had made to the Plaintiff; if by, the pro.
anises in this case were not binding, and if the Jury
;were of that opinion, there would remain fur them
,but one consideriftion, and that was, Whether the
3pl. which had beers paid in to Court in this ease
was sufficient for all the cloaths that were necessary
far thin young man to have fur this time under these
circumstances ? Much of that mattes depended
upon the degree and condition in lite of the Defen.
dant. It appeared that lie was a Carrier ; that -he
noghi be, and be equal, perhaps, in opulence
to a!ie greatest :Merchants( fur there were some
Carib:is of that description. .He remembered the
case of Mr. Piekworth, whose immense wealth en-
. , Witt hints to 811311 tin a loss of ;0,001. in one win.
to -an account of the price of foildee and the bad,
ness of the roads, and the •CallillS that were frozen
up over which goods, were to pass, of which' he wai
'the Carrier ; but it appeared that the Defendant
was a young marl in only a medium mile, end
therefore ought to incur only moderate expences;
and therefore the.jury wouldconsider whether 301.
was not !iufficirnt for the cloatlis which this young
man ought to hive for 15 mortars.
It appeared that the Plaintif had lent to the De.*
findato font guineas in money. • :His Loirdship eon-
aidered that loan as a matter whichtt all events was
tint necesaary, and Might have 'done the Defendant
'considerable mischief, for he was thereby furoished
With means toga inns a' dissipated course, and Might
. lead to. the. farther increase of the; Plaintiff's bill as
a Tailor, and therefore 'he thOught the Jury. would
14 that part of the Ph istsfr'a charge 'out Of the
question. If the Jury agreed with , hiM, that the
promises made after the Defendant came of age were
coroli'tinnaVthey would not be bboling on lvm, and
then- the only question w And he, whether 301. were
nut ,uilicieut to pay for the necessary•cloathing.of
such a young min as this fur t months, upon which
the, Jury, he said, .were much better judges than'
he Affccira to be, , If they thought it was, enough,
they would find a vetalin for the Defendant.
Verditt for the Defendant.
There was a cause for an assault, witictirdiservei
to be noticed, but for which we have it present Au
room.

that they were loaded 431 half past four, at the Wharf,
