PARR V. ANDERSON.

judgment was this day pronounced in this impor-
tant cafe, which, our readers will recollea, concerns
the powers of veffels infured for a mercantile voyage,
but with liberty to carry letters of marque. Ihe in-
fured, in her courfe, fell in with a French veffel, to
enable her to attack which the deviated from her
courfe a fingle point, but fo as not to have any drat
on her voyage. The queftion was, if this was fuch
a deviation as voided the policy ? The Jury on the
trial found for the Infurers. Mr. ERSKINE moved for
a new trial, on which occafion we laid an abftrad
of his arguments before our readers. Counfel were
afterwards fully heard, and this day the rule for a
new trial was made alyolute. The Court recommend-
ing in the mean time, the proper inquiry to be made
as to the bveneral underftanding of merchants on this
point; and alfo whether any additional premium was
in ufe to be granted, in cuntideration of the permif-
fion to carry letters of marque.

SIR WILLIAM PARSONS.

Mr. Mawr applied to the Court for a Certiorari, to
bring before the Court a conviSion againtl Nails, the
driver of a hackney coach, for demanding and receiv-
ing more than his face. The Magittratts by whom
he was conviaed were, SirW. Parlous wit' Mr. Bond.
The Att on which the conviaion was founded, was
laid to be, the 39th and 4oth of Geo. Il I. c. 47. into
which a claufe is infected, cutting, that if the fun
should be let before a coach is difcharged, out of the
city'of London, Weltminiter, and the ilirough of
Southwark, the coachman is to have the whole fare,
on his return to the neareft hand. If the fun be not
let when he is difcharged, but will let before he can
return to fuch (land, is,ppofing. his progrea to be at
the rate of 5 miles an hour, he is then to receive half
the fare on Inch ditlance.

This conviction had proceeded under a talfe idea
taken up by the Magittrates, that the term day-light
and fun•fet were fynonimotts. The coa•h went to
Brampton, and although there was fufficient day-
light, the fun had fet before the return of the coach.
Magittrates should be inarnaed in the diliinaions
between fun-fet and day-light in our latitude, that
the falutary intention of the leg.tltture might not be
difappointed.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH" Take the writ."
• cumaszas v. CAULFIELD.

Mr. ERSKINs Paid, the motion for a new trial was
on two grounds, one of which was exceflive da-
mages. The proof was to be fupplied from certain
letters in the poEffiin of the adulterer. The infpec-
tion of thefe letters had been applied for by the Plain-
tiff, and it had been refteed (not very decently), by
the Attorney for the Defendant. The Learned Coon-
fel fought the iaterpofition of the Court, to dire et that
true copies of thefe letters migght•be.given. The only
reafon the Defendant was poffeffed of thefe, was on
account of the confidence he had fo grofsly and nth-
rioutly abufcd. In all commercial cafes, :1 was a
matter of courfe to grant this permaan.
Lord ELL, N soaouo H.—" I mutt have them ai the
rime of taking the report. They will be read at the
trial, and you wiil then have full opportunity .4 on-
ferving on their contents. I will take cafe you (hall
fee them at that time, but I am afraid of making a
rule upon the fubjea."

Winter being the feafon in which the inhabitants
of this country are particularly fubjed to Coughs
