COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

FROMOXT V. RIMEr.
The ATTottNitY-GzNERAL stated this case, which
was an action of assuropsit, brought by the plaintiff,
an extensive coach proprietor, residing at Thatcham,
on the road from Bath to London. The defendant
is the proprietor of the 'York House, Bath, and is
also a coach proprietor. The plaintiff is proprietor
of the King's Head, at Thatcham, and has stabling
behind the inn for one hundred horses, and being
about to retire from business, he disposed of his
shares in the Regulator;Express;Defiance and Marl-
borough coaches, as well as a branch coach to Swin-
don, for the consideration of 2,2504, and with the con-
dition that the coaches should stop as heretofore at
the King's Head, and give time to the passengers
to breakfast, dine, or sup, according to the hour of
the day at which the coaches should arrive. The
alleged breach of the contract was, that the coaches
no longer stepped at the plaintiff's house(the King's
Head) according to the agreement, and that in con-
sequence of this breach of contract the plaintiff's in-
terest in the inn and stabling attached, at Thatcham,
was greatly reduced in value.
The defence was, that the accommodation afforded to the
coach passengers, at the King's Head, was so bad that the
proprietors were obliged to take the coaches to other
houses.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 8001.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY

MANSION-HOUSE.

A weather-beaten tar, named James Henderson, was
brought before the Lotto MAroa, from Giltspur-street
Compter, by an officer, who stated that he met him in the
streets at a late hour last night; be told bins (the officer)
that he came from Yarmouth, where he had been seek-
ing for a brother, but had not succeeded in finding him,
and was compelled to walk from thence to London, with
scarcely a halfpenny in his pocket. He had walked from
Brentwood that night without having partaken of food. He
appeared weary from the effects of travelling, and said that
he had no shelter for the night, witness therefore lodged
him in the Compter.
_ _

The LORD MAYOR (to the seaman)—Were you in his
Majesty's service? _ _

Seaman--Yes, your Lordship, I was ten years in his
Majesty's naval service aboard the Queen Charlotte, and
accompanied Lord Exmouth on his expedition to Algiers.
The LORD MA von. having pot several questions to the
poor fellow, that convinced him that he was an object of
charity, told him, that if he would go to sea again, he
should be provided with suitable clothing for the purpose.
The Sailor thanked his Lordship, and was reaaoved.
A sorrowful native of the West Indies was charged with
begging in the city.
A constable stated that the defttdant, since his arrival
in this country, had acquired a habit of sitting down in
public thoroughfares in the city, with his arm tied
in a sling, and pulling long faces of woe, attempted
to excite the pity of passengers, but having a strong sus-
picion that he was playing the old soldier, he took him
into custody, and on examining his arm he found it ailed
nothing. Musa Blackey declared that his arm was wery
pad, and that he was an unfortunate nigger, striving to
turn an honest penny by begging, as he did not know how
to work.

But the LORD MArox being dubious on that point,
committed him to Bridewell as a rogue and a vagabond.
