LAW INTELLIGENCE,.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 21.
ROWCROFT V. DYSON.
This was a policy of infurance upon a cargo of
fruit, which the Plaintiff declared to be wholly loft
by their being wetted ; and damaged, and rendered
ufelefs. Mr. Serjeant BAILEY was about to argue,
that the Plaintiff was not entitled to a total !off., but
an average lofs, according to his deduCtion, and that
he had In qualified his lofs as to make it apparent
that it was not a total lofs. The Court obferved,
that the fruit, perhaps, was in a condition to manure
the land, but certainly for the purpofe of the policy
it was a total Infs.
Mr. Seijeant BAILCY—jO Then your Lordfhips
think I sin nor in a condition to argue that it is only
an average lofs ?"
Lord ELLENISOROUCH..—" I am fore you cannot
urge it with any effeCt for your client."
Mr. Serjeant BAIL!Y.—" Then lam lure I will
not take up your Lordfhip's time."—Judgment for
the Plaintiff.

THE KING V. LEMUEL GULLIVER.
This Defendant was brought up to receive the
judgment of the Court, for aiding and ;Ailing in
the refcue of perfons in the corlody of a prefs gang,
near Poole, in Dorfetihire. He mined the perfons
who joined in the refcue, by telling them, that the
authority under which the officer al led, was an old
or Stale warrant, when in fa& it had received the
indorfement of the Mayor of the adjacent port on the
preceding day. After a ferions admonition Irma
Mr. Juffice GROSE, he Wits fentenced to be imprifon-
ed in Dorcbeller gaol for the term of fix months.
ELIZABETH TOWER V. CAMERON AND KENNEDY.
This was an affumpfit nn a promiffory note. The
fitilDefendant admitted judgment to go by default ;
theleft pleaded now affumplit t and further, that
he became bankrupt. To this there was a demurrer.
Mr. I,AwEs contended, that the plea to the bank-
roptc y was informal, the declaration not Rating when
the conhrtalon took place, before the commencement
of the Wit ; and the Learned Counfel principally re•
Led on the authority of the cafe of " Paris and Sal-
keld," z Wiiton, 139, to thew the irregularity.
Mr. SCARLEr, on the contrary fide, argued, that
the cafe cited had been over-ruled, and referred, in
fupport of the obfervation, to Cooke's Bankrupt
Laws, p. 522 ; and alfo to the cafe of" Miles v. Wil-
liams," where, by the concurrence of all the Judges,
the more concife form of pleading was fantioned.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH.." The time of the bank •
ruptcy is matter of evidence, and the plea is precife-
ly in the form the Legiflature has diteasel, 5 Geo.
ll."—Judgment for the Defendant.
The remainder of the day was wholly occupied in
difcuffing dry legal points, of importance to none but
the parties interelted.
MAY 22.-••••COMCINATION.
THE KING v. NtILD Aso Oiskis.—This was an
indiftmeot again the Our neymen cotton •fpinners of
Manchellet, for an unlawful combination againtt
their employers, in order to compel them to incleafe
their wages. A conviaion took place upon the in-
dittment, and a motion to qualb that col sicti,n was
made on the pounds, that the nature of the offence
was not fufliciently set forth on the face of the in-
diernent.
After hearing the arguments of Counfel on both
fides, the Court was of opinion that the offence was
not fufficiently fet forth on the indnamen,, and there-
fore the conviaion could not he fupported.
NUISANCE.
THE KING v. ROBERT RUSSELL, Esq Tile De•
(cadent,. in this cafe, who was an extcnfive waggon
owner, retiding in the city cf Exeter, was convicted
of a •nuifancc, in Coffering his waggons repeatedly
to remain in the public (beets for whole days toge-
ther, fo as to interrupt both foot paffengers, and all
carriages which might want to pals that way. lie
had been indieled by the Mayor and Corporation of
Exeter, and having fuffered judgment to againn
him, he paid a fine of Sol. and afterward': removed
the caufe by cerfiorari, into the King's li:nch.
Several affidavits, on the part of the Defendant,
were read, from which it appeared, that there was
fufficient room, at all times, for carriages and peo-
ple to pats. His own waggons, and-thofe of his
predeceffors, for 5o yeas back, were loaded and un-
loaded on the fame ground, and he had been at a
great expense in building warchonfes, by which fe-
veral feet of ground were thrown into the Itreet.•
The affidavits on the part of the .Profecution,
fated, that the nuifance was continued to the prefent
day.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL, for the Defendant,
thought the Mayor and Corporation had caned their
refetament too far in bringing this Geotletnen up for
judgment Inch a length of way: having the appoint-
ment of all the fines, they had already made him
pay Sol. and as they were to be his fole judges under
the full indiament, he was induced to remove it into
that Court. Mr. Ruffen was not a perfen who would
willingly violate the laws, as had been evinced Come
time ago, to the full-rife of the whole country, when
he offered an immenfe number (near t 000) of horfes
for the exigencies of Government, at a moment's
notice. He had already offered to the Mayor and
Corporation, if they would not bring him up for
judgment, that he would confine the time of unload.
ing and loading to a specific time, under any penalty
they fhould name. .
Mr. Serjcent PLAID, for the Profecution, Paid, it
was not the wills of the Mayor and Corporation to
put Mr. R. to any unnecelfary trouble ; it was a pub-
lic duty which they mug perform ; and toilers the
loading and unloading fhould be prevented in the
firms in tore, the object of the profecution would nut
be effructed.
Lord ELLE/mention (aid, that the Defendant
mull confider, that the greet was not to be ufed as
his own private property, he would henceforth un
derßand the law on the fubje&.
Mr. Jultice GROSE hoped it would be an mime&
to perfons in other towns, even io this city, that they
were not to fuffer nuifances of this nature.
After frame confultation, the Court direaed that
the Defendant (hould enter into recognifance to ap-
pear and receive judgment wheuever he fhould be
called upon, and difcbarged him, with a caution to
avoid fuch praftices in future.

This clay the pi ifoaerri in the feveral goals in Lon-
don and Mithilefex were removed to Newgate,
preparatory to their trials, at the Old Bailey Seddon,
which commences on Wedneiday next.
