TAPRIL QJI TAM, V. PHIPPS.
- -

It appeared that the Sheriff's Officer had gone to
the houfe of Martha and Mary Norris, in order to
execute a Writ of Poffeffion ; and after much diffi-
culty and refiflance on their part, fucceeded in get•
ting them out, when he (hut up the houfe, and put a
padlock on the door. The next day, however, they
returned, accompanied by their brother John, who
forced off the lock, broke open the door, and reinftat-
ed them in the full poffeffion of the premifes, of which
*lley have ever fince held an adverfe poffelion.
ljpon this ftatement, the Court granted the At-
sichment againff all three.

GARROW applied fora rule to (hew caufe why
a Mr. Itothforth, an Attorney of this Court, fhould
not pay the defendant's coils in this cafe, and why
fhould not anfwer the matters of an afidavit.

APRIL 23.-THE RING V. JOHN CArtRAY.
The ATTORNEY GENIRAL mo►ed the judgment of
the Court upon this defendant. He had admitted
judgment to go by default, Upon an indidment,
cha ging him, a private in the Veteran Battalion,
with affaulting and nbftruaing John Roberts, an Of.
liner of the Cußoms, in the execution of his duty
On the 28th of March, Tilos, the Profecutor, who
was in the Ifle of Scilly, faw a number of foldiers
and failors endeavouring to lift a barrel over the
walls of the garrifon town, where the regiment to
which Caffrey belongs was Rationed. Roberts in the
execution of his duty, c tnceiving that the calk con-
tained Come fpirituons liquor, demanded to examine
it. This requelt was refufed, and upon the officer's
attempting to feize it, the defendant, with the affift-
ance of another, brought Roberts to the ground,
where they declared they would keep him, until the
barrel was out of fight. They did fo, and the party
fucceeded in fecuring their booty.
The affi,lavit of the defendant was read, in which
he Rated, that he had ailed as a fervant to Mr. Ly-
nam, for a confiderable time, who held the rank of
Major in the fame regiment. It added, that the de-
fendar t had a wife and five children now at Ply-
mouth. Major Lynam gave his fervant a good
I charader.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL regretted exceedingly
1 that the party who was molt criminal on this tam-
lion, was not before the Court to receive its judg-
ment. The truth was, that the defendant and his
companions had been employed by Major Lynam to
fmnggle the barrel of wine into the town, at the
time that Roberts interfered. Sufficient evidence
could not, however, be obtained to bring the charge
home to the principal, and the defendant, as the molt
adive in the obftruiion, was therefore indided.
Mr. GURNEY, in mitigation of punifhment, urged,
that the defendant, in finuggling the calk of wine,
had acted only under the diredion of his mailer, who
was his fuperior officer. He truQed that their Lnjd•
fhip', in confideration of the wife and family of the
defendant, as well as of the good charaEter he had
hitherto borne, would not vifit his offence with any
fevere punifhment.
Mr. pace GROSE, in delivering the judgment of
the Court, animadverted feverely upon the condudl
not orly of the defendant, but of Major Lynam. He
laid that it was no excufe for the condud of the for•
met to fay, that he had aded under the orders of his
fuperior officer. The &It object of obedience was
the law of the country ; and when that was tranf-
greffed, it was the painful, but neceffary duty of the
Court to punifh the delinquent. The defendant was
fentenced to be imprifoned in Newgate for the term
of eight calendar months.
Mr. GURNEY hoped, that their Lordfhips would
permit that the defendant fhould fuffer his imptifon-
ment at Plymouth, where his wife, children, and
friends refided.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH obferved, that the Court
fhould have no objedion if it were done at the &fen
dant's expence. He might, perhaps, upon applica•
tion to his matter, who deferved no better title than
an accomplice, be relieved: bnr it could not be ex-
pcded that the Crown fhould be at the charge of car-
rying its prifoners where their convenience sa ould be
molt confulted.

THE KING V. PHN REM
A verdiel of Guilty had been entered againft the
Defendant on an indietment tried at the Cardiff Af-
fixes, befote Mr. Justice Lawrence, for obllruCting
and affaulting a revenue officer, named Jones. It
appeared from the minutes of the trial, that Jones
and fcveral others had intimation of a quantity of
fpitits, which were to b: conveyed to a neighbouring
town one night of the month of Auguff la t. They
63 off in purfuit, and overtook a company of fmug.
glers to the number of twenty or more, with feveral
horfes each of them loaded with kegs f fpirits. As
loon as they came up to them, the fmugglers attac-
ked the officers, when the Defendant exclaimed
D—mn them, kill them, that they may•n•Jt go
home to teil the ffory," In the conteft, Jones had
his head cut open by the prifoner's bludgeon, and his
pitlol was knocked out of his hand.
After Mr. PULLEN had been heard in mitigation,
and the ATTORNEY GENERAL and Mr. J.Rvis for
the profecutiun, the Court (entenced the Defendant
to hard labour on the River Thames for two years.
