001‘d V. BRUCE AND OTIIERS.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated; that the plain-
.
til' was a merchant, and that she defendants were'
underwriters : that the plaintitY had some very con-.
siderable. transaalions with the_ house of Platanow,
in Archangel; that in consequence of these transac-
tions he advanced several surns.of money ,to that
house.; and they in return Consigned w him a
quantity of hemp, towards the discharge of that
money so :advanced; that the hemp was shipped at
St. Fietersburgh,,on boards British ship there, in the
montli-ofodober 1807 ; but that in a few day after
it was.so shipped,. and before the vessel had time to
quit the harbour, war being declared between Russia
and OW country, the vessel and her cargo were seiz-
ed, and this. action, was brought against the defend-
ants, as underwriters, who had insured the cargo
against all risk of Joss.

The necessary evidence was given as t 3 the shiP.:
ping of the goods, and the condemnation of the'ship
-by orders from the Russian,Government.
On-behalf of tine defendants, Mr. Serjeant BEST
addressed the Jury and the Court; lie stated, that
the case which he had to. submit was simply this,
namely, that Mr. Platanow,- being a Ruisiiin subject),
shipped the
"hemp (As the invoice wou.d •slietv) as-
his ovi,n property ;
,that when the vessel was seized, ,
together with the cargo, be claimed the cargo as his
pr, pery, and as such it was returned to, him by the
captors ; but the ship, being:British property, was
condemned.- This appearinA from the evidence ad-
duced, the Jury found fur the defendants. •
Tue oilier cases were unimportant, except to
those immediately concerned.

WRIGHT AND OTHERS V., RR JAMES SHAW, BART.

AND. ATHENS.

This was an action. brought
,by the „plaintiffs,:
who are surveytirS acting ui.der, the authofily of
an Ad of
,Parliament of the 441,11 of his present
Majesty, which enabled the proprietors of the
houses which are built in Pickett-street, Terup!e-
bar, and in Skinner-stree., Snow-hill, to dispose of
them by lottery, against the def n..anis, Sir James.
Shaw, Bart. Mr. Alderman Combe, the Recorder
of London, the
.Common St•rjeam, and other Gen-
tletnen, who are Trustee: acting unJer that Act ;
and the salon was nominally only against these de-
fendants, the real defendants were the proprietors
of the houses-in these two places, and the object of,
the action was ro procure a compensation to these
surveyors, for the labour and attent,On they had be-
stowed Oti the examination of these differrnt
considering, of their condition, granting. Cer
cares of their fitness, &c. for the purposes.for which
they were designed, &c. on which their sales, or
rather the inducement which the public had to buy
the tickets in this lottery, depended _
But after a full hearing of the Statement of the
case; Lord Ellenborough held, that as there was no.
specific provision in the Act of Parliament, for
granting a compensation to these gentlemen, they
could not claim-any thing for what they did, in a
Court of Law/ whateyer they might do in a Court
of Equity ; and perhaps they would have no remedy
without applying to Parliament. His Lordship de-
clared he was sorry for it, since, he had every rea- •
son to be satisfied that these gentlemen's services •,
had been useful to the concern of which they form-
ed so material a part ; but still they could not in-
force their claim for compensation in a Court of
Law, without a specific ptovition to that effect in
the Act of Parliament, for which reason the pluin4
tiffs were non-suited. ,
