taken in two instances, once upon a bill for 11101. Is.

16s. on which he took 31. 18s. above the legal interest.
Oarrow spoke in strong terms of the injury done 1
to trade by this means, and attributed it to this op-
pression, that Wilkins and Lacey, who were bank-
rupts, had failed.
They were called to prove the transaction. but in
the last instance they could not exactly describe in
what mode a payment of 2001. was made, whether in
money, or in what sort of bills, so that they were un-
aisle to fix the date as laid in the declaration when
the money was advanced. In respect of the 12401.
a part if that was remitted in a letter, which was
dated Frome, 20th April. The declaration stated
the loan and fbrbearance from that day, whereas, in
fact, the cash bills were not received by the post till
the 21st • which his Lordship held to be a fatal ob-
jection, but reserved the point.

KELSO, OCTOBER U.

Tuesday afternoon, we experienced a very severe
gale here, accompanied by rain. The wind mode-
rated about nine o'clock in the evening • and about
midnight it increased to a hurricane, with torrents of
hail and rain. There was also a deal of thunder and
lightning. The rivers were much swelled, and many
of the low grounds inundated.
HELIGOLAND, OCTOBER 24.
Most of the last arrivals are still without pilots,
though they were fortunate enough to get into the
inner roads, except a sloop, supposed to be the Duchess
of Athol, which is still riding on the outside. of Sandy
Island, and as it still blows very hari, a pilot cannot
be got to go to her; hut if that.was not the case, it is
exuemely doubtful if one could be got, as even an

wants, for-the Quarter4na!ters pretend the men are at

LAW INTELLIGENCE

COURT OF KINGS BENCH, NOV. S.

• THE KING V. THE COMMISSIONERS OF comerxsancits.
This was a dial of an issue to asscss the amount of
the compensation to be paid by the London Dock
Company, to Mr. Viney, the owner of one of the up.
town warehouses; for the loss of his trade as a whar-
finger and warehouseman, in co sequence of the Act
.passed in the 33d Geo. 111. for establishing the Lon-,
don Docks, by which it is enacted, that all persons
owners of warehouses to be injured in their trade by
the erection of the works, warehouses, &c. belonging
to the Docks, were to have a compensation paid ac-
Aording 10 the fair value of their trade at the time of
, passing of the Act. A former assessment had been
made by a Jury before the Recorder of London, who
being ehtsakisfied, with it, as being excessive, returned
a certificate which operated in the nature of a new
nrial,to be bad before Lord Ellenborough and a Spe-
cial Jtiry. The former assessment was to the amount
of upwards of 50001. and was calculated upon the
average of the profits of Mr. Viney for the three
years. next after the passing of the Act, at a rate of
four years purchase.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL now contended, that the
former assessment was excessive, and that from the
Act it was clear that the rate of compensation should
be estimated by the value of the years preceding the I
Act, and not by those subsequent.
Mr. PARK, for Mr. Viney, claimed a compensa-
tion at six years purchase, and estimated the loss i
upon the succeeding years of the rising business at be-
tween 15001. and 20001. per annum.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH was of opinion, that the loss
should be estimated by an average value fig!4hree
years before the Act. -. int
The Jury returned a verdict for 40751. Is. :4d.
which we understood to he an estimate of four years
upon the average of the years preceding the Act.,

Mr. GARROW stated this to he a penal action for

waggon, at Frome, in 6omersetshire. The Defendant
had been applied to by Messrs. Wilkins and Lacey,

-4 five months, by giving them his own bills at
months in part, and part cash. Upon these bills.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL said ss. had been allow.
ed twenty years ago, and contended for 7s. 6d. upon
the increase of all charges of business, and also that
the usury was calculated in the declaration upon
8971. only, whereas there being a fair charge of 9s.
Bd. for stamps, that sum should be added to the
amount advanced, which made the declaration and
the evidence vary, and entitled the Defendant to a
Verdict.
Lori

_ on said, that 7s. 61 if a reason-
able charge, could only be charged by actual bankers,
who were obliged to keep clerks, Etc. for their busi-
ness, whereas it appeared only that the Defendant
kept a shop for the purpose, at his waggon office, for
banking, and was not proved to be a banker. But he
left the other point to the Jury. It must not be un-
derstood, that 51. 7s. 6d. may be the national interest.
