cient on that day to pay for them ; the broker, being
lof an inquisitive disposition, expressed his surprise,
never having received so large a commission txtore,
and rather importunely desired to know from what
source he was to receive the money, when the gentle-
man produced a Lottery Ticket, which he had bought
in consequence of a dream, expressing his confidence
it would be one of the Three 430,000 Prizes in the
Lottery that begins the sth of April, and it is hardly
necessary to add, they may all be drawn on that day.

Monday, JAN Manisa was tried before the High Court of
Justiciary at Edinburgh, for the murder and rubbery of James
Murdoch, grocer, near Whitburn, on the 114th of January last.
It appeared that the prisoner was a soldier, discharged from tbe
artillery, and had on his return to Scotland introduced himself to
the deceased, a most respectable and worthy man, as a namesake
and relation. Having been invited to pass the night in the house
of the deceased, who lived by himself, the prisoner at midnight,
as is supposed, committed the horrid deed. He was apprehended
while making his escape next morning, and the greater pan of
the property of the deceased was found upon him. The head and
body of the deceased were mangled in a most dreadful manner
with an adze. The prisoner was found Guilty, and ordered for
execution on the 119th of March next. He seemed quite unaf-
fected at his awful situation. He was no relation whatever to
the deceased.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF.IUNO'S BENCH, FEBNUARY •2S.
LEVI O. SEOUL
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who
is a Jew, to recover affiO, which was alleged to have
been deposited by hint in the hands of the defendant,
as a wager, to abide the event of the late fight bra.;
tween Knowlesworthy and Dutch Sam. Upon the
nart of the defendant, however, it was proved that'
the sum in question had been deposited with him by
a man of the name of. Jones, and not by the plaintiff.
It was likewise proved, that the plaintiff, although at
the fight, never talked of betting.—Verdict for the
defendant.
COURF OF COMMON PLEAS, FEBRUARY 25.
ELAND V. CoLLINS.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re.
cover SO guineas, claimed by him as having been
won from the defendant under the following Circum-
stances :—The pasties were at the last Newmarket
Meetieg, and after a morning's amusement on the
turf, were, with their friends, at the Greyhound Inn,
enjoying the pleasures of .the bottle. In the course
of the evening the defendant said, he had, during the
day, held a conversation with Lord Kingston, up- n
the subject of purchasing cavalry cast horses, and
that his Lordship had told him it was a very unpro-
litAb'e speculation, and that he wool,' hive no more
to do wit's it. The plaintiff, upon heating this
statement, said he was sure Lord Kingston would Ira
have held a conversation with him. and
.denied the
truth of his tale The defendant repeateO that he
was not mistaken, for he had positively held the con.
versation which he had detailed, and offered to make
any bet upon the subject. The plaintiff immediately
took a ten pound note from his pocket, and placing
it upon the table, asked the defendant what he would
cover it with ? The defendant said he would bet
hint 80 guineas t. selo, that what he had stated was
correct. The plaintiff, however, perceiving that he
was a little " flushed with the Tuscan grape," would
not then bet. On the ensuing morning, however, he
went into the coiteeroom, where the defendant was,
and, addressing him in a jocular way, said, 4, Why,
Ned, you were quite valiant las: night, in offering a
bet of 8U guineas to 10 that jou had been conversing
with Lord Kingston." The defendant immedi.itely
repeated his assertion, and said he was ready. then to
make the saint: bet.. The plaintiff put his note again
on the table, . and the defendant, without hesitation,
covered it with So guineas in gold. The I)._a wa,s
then committed to paper and mutually signed, and
the money was placed in the hands of an unipac to
decide the event. .4ks soon as this was completed,. the
plaintiff said, "You are caught, Ned ; for' the person
vith whom • you conversed was Lord Kensington
and not Lord Kingston. I have made enquiries, and
ascertained this to be the Fact." Tne company now
laughed, and declared that it was no bet. The plain-
tiff, however, was not to be done. He said it was r
fair w iger, and he should insist on being paid The
defendant then admitted that he had been too hasty,
and proposed first to give a dinner to the party pre-
sent, as -r;teja aqjsk meet !or his lolly a and this not
being ax to, he proposed adding," !Awn to
the Plaintiff. 'The plaintiff, htivrever,' Insisted 'upon
having the whole sum, and would listen to no com-
promise Whatever. The defendant then desired the
umpire not to part with the stakes, and hence the pre-
tent action was brought. These facts having been
proved, Sir V. Gums addressed the Jury. He la-
mented •that such bets could be made the subject of
actions at law ; but as they were permitted, they
must be settled according to law. Here the deftly-
dant, in the pertinacity of his own opinion, had
thought proper to make a foolish wager. There was
no fraud on the part of the plaintiff, b,:cause the op.
portunity of ascertaining the truth of the fact alleged
was alike afforded to both ; and it the defendant 11:4
not thought proper to benefit by that opportunity, he
must take the consequence. Verdict for the plaintiff
—Damages 80, guineas, costs 40s.
SEYMOUR V. MOUNTAIN.
Mr. Scrjeant SHEPHERD stated, that the plaintiff,
in this action, sought to recover a compensation in
damages, for the injury which she had sustained, in
consequence of the negligence of the defendant's ser-
vant. The defendant is the proprietor of the Bath
blue coach; in which the plaintiff was a passenger
on the 2d of October. The coach was overturned
toy he negligence of the coachman; the plaintiff's
t.hi h was broken ; she had suffered a long and dis.
i
tie sing illness, and it was next to a miracle that she
had recovered, though her recovery would be attend-1
ed with misery to her, for the must remain a cripple
for Bk. She was the daughter of a respectable
tradesman in The country, and about 24 peals old, a
Stott interesting and beautiful young woman. The
damages were laid at £2OOO.
H. Allen, a labourer in the India-House, stated,
that he was a passenger on the outside of the flue
Bath coach on the 2d of October, which sets out
from the Saracen':4 Head, Snow-hill. It stopped on I
that day in Piccadilly, when the plaintiff, with two
other 'person's; got upon the box with the coachman;
they prceecdecl to Hounslow, where they changed
}muses. When they arrived at Harlington-corner,
the coachman having driven very negligently, ran
the coach on the footpath, and it was overturned.—
Tl,i.; was about five o'clock in the evening; the wit-
ness jumped off the box, and the first object he saw
was the plaintiff, lying under the coach, screaming
violently. He assisted to lift the coach up. The
• plaintiff was taken up, and conveyed in a cart to the
Coach and Horses public-house, at a little distance.
In the opinion of the witness, the coachman was in.
toricated ; he drove on the wrong side of the road,
and repeatedly crossed it, and whipped the horses'
violently.
In his cross-examination he said, that one of the
horses fell down before the accident ; he did not see
the plaintiff jump from the coach-box, nor did be hear
her scream when the horse fell ; there was no ob-
struction in the road; if the coachman had used
common care, he thought the accident might hive
been avoided.
James Tribe was at the Coach and Horses public-
house on the day stated. He confirmed the former
testimony as to the aceideot.
Mr. Sajeaut BUT objected to the. plaintiff's right

pound fracture ; her thigh was broken ; there was a
concussion .of thelnee-joint, and the hip. was dislb-
cated ; a profusion of blood issued from the wounds.
She remained, at the public-house for nearly three
months. He apprehended, at one time, a mortifica-
tion would ensue. His bill amounted to £l.O.
On his cross•esamination, he said, that she was
obliged to be removed from the bed on which she
was first. placed he disapproved of the removal ;
the contraction of her knee, he conceived, arose from
that removal, the setting of the fractured bone being
displaced.
Mr. Adams, another surgeon, gave similar tel.:
tiniony.
Mr. l Icon, a medical gentleman from Staines, (a
Quaker), was called in about a month after the acci-
dent; he found her in a deplorable situation, the bed
on which she had first laid was broken, and that
caused her removal ; after the removal the broken
limb became worse, a re-union subsequently took
.place ; that limb was now three inches shorter than
the other. His charge for attendance was 10 guineas.
Mr. Hamstead, another surg..on, spoke to the same
effect. His charge was 10 guineas.
J. Henley, the master of the Coach and Horses
public-house, stated, that the plaintiff remained at his
house from the 21:1 of October • till the 24th of De-
cember. His bill for board and lodging, and win;
and attendance, was 8110. He said that the coach-
man appeared sober.
Mr. Serjeant BEST, for the defendant, regretted in
common with his client the injury which the plaintiff
had received ; but it was hard that lie should lie
compelled to pay for the negligence and accident'
which his servant had committed and occasioned.—
With respect to the law, it was quite clear that the
coachman could legally be deemed an agent, for he
should piove that the plaintiff bad not paid for her
carriage, the coachman, therefore, was attempting to
.defraud his master, by conveying her home for no:
thing. The defendant had no profit from her car-
riame—of course he was not responsible. •
The CHIEF JUSTICE recommended to the defendant
to come to an amicable adjustment. The case was
truly a lamentable one. He should not say, in this
..:tap,e of it, haw he meant to deal with the Igal pair
ut it ; he thought it ought to be met with a liberal
defence, and such,a detente as should save the cha-
racter of the defendant.
W. Proby, the coachman, was called. He stated
that the.plaintiff came-with her brother to the coach,,
in Piccadilly. The brother, who had formes ly been
book-keeper at the Saracen's Head Inn, wished him
to take them both, for nothing home to Speenliarn,
land, at which place the father, who is a'saddler, re,
aides. Witness refused at first; -but he became i 6
pressing; that at length he consented. The father
afterwards appeared, but he refused to take him, and
be went,by another. coach.. • •

It was then agreed, that the plaintiff should have
a verdict conditionally. the defendant undertaking to
pay all the expenses of board and lodging, mascot
attendances, and to pay her a sum over and abort
these claims, of £250.
