LAW IN7'4LLICEIVCE:

• ,•

COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE tf..
COCIEEREL t. BARBER. •
A Gentleman in India had bequeathed a legacy of
100,000 Sicca Rupees to a friend in this country.—
It had been refeteed to the Master to carry the will
into execution. But a doubt arose in his mind at
what rate the Rupee was to be calculated, though he
rather inclined to prefer the rate of the valtie in bul-,
lion, which would give 25. ld. sterling. The Lega-
tee, however, objected to this, insisting upon the rate
used in mercantile practice, which is 2s. 6d. The
point was therefore brought before the Court for a
decision to guide the Master.
Mr. LEACH contended for the higher rate, and
adopting a suggestion of the Court, put the case, that
instead of sicca t upees, the legacy had been current
rupees, a coin merely nominal, a case in which it
I would be impossible to apply the rule of bullion, to
which the Master was inclined.
Mr. ALEXANIER, on the other side, felt it easier to
state objections to Mr. Leach's criterion, than to sug-
gest
any other. It was true, that sicca rupees given
in India for bills on England, were calculated at 2s.
6d. But then it was material to consider, that these
bills were payable at twelve months sight ; and tak-
ing into account the time spent in the passage home,
were 110 t in general paid till eighteen months after
date. The high rate was therefore only a compen-
sation for the loss of interest.
Mr. LEACH replied, that the loss of interest was
connected not with the rate, but with the course of
exchange.
The MASTER of the ROLLS declared, that this was
a point, which, had it come before him in the first
instance, he would be inclined to refer to the Master,
having no sufficient information tiplal which to found
a decision. He rather thought that the rate . f bul-
lion was not that which. ought to beltd(pted, but at
the same time he must leave it to the disci-etios of,
the Master to fix upon .any- other, which, upoa the
best consideration, he skould think the most proper.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 22.
COLLINS V. PHILLIPS) KNT. AND CHRISTOPHER SMITII,
ESQ.
This was att'ketion of trespass, brought by the
plaintiff, an eminent glass-mannfacturer, to recover,
the sum of 7651. the value of a service of glass, sei-
zed as being the property of his Royal Hig,iness the
Duke of Sussex, under a process issued by the defen-
dauts, as Sheriffs of Middlesex.
On the part of the plaintiff, it was contended, that
the glass in question was not the property of
hs
Royal Highness, but only furnished to him on lire
and to prove this, two workmen in the employinent
of the plaintiff were exarnined, who stated, that in Ja-
nuary 1807 they were directed by their master to
take the glass in question to the apartments of his
Royal Highness at Kensington. Palace, preparatory
to a dinner his Royal Highness was about to give to
some of the Royal Family. One of the witnesses stated,
that he had heard a -onversation which passed
between his Royal Highness, and the pl.tintifF, in
which his Royal Highness had given particular direc-
tions that the glass, which was extremely elegant and
costly, should not be entrusted to any of the servants
at the Palace; but that the plaintiff should send some
of his own people, who should have the care of it,
and that only such parts 6f it as were absolutely wan-
ted should he unpacked ; accordingly, only particu-
lar parts of it were delivered to the servants, and im-
mediately after dinner .hey were again given to the
witness, who, assisted by his fellow-servant, repacked
them, and conveyed them again to town, That the set
might be completed, and proper packing-cases made
for them, previous to their delivery to his -Royal High-

ADRGRALTY COURT, JUNE M.
This day the Right Hon. Sir W. Scorr proceeded
to the adjudication of the following cases : -
Anna Dorothei, Vrood Waiter; loage Bernard, De Bar rim-
ter ; San Baena, Ventura master.—The former was sailing from
Varel to Amsterdam, under Bremen colours; the second from
Varel to Leon, under Prussian colours ; the third laden wilt
brandy, from Bayonne to Bilboa at the time of capture. Na
claim being set up in either of these cases, botk ships and car-
goes were cor.dcmned. •
Sophia, Gamack snastcr.—This was a question of costs and di.
, triages preferred against the captors, on the ground of an unjust:-
1 fiable seizure, which the Court affirmed, and refused captor's

expences.
Elizalieth Atexiowna, Wert matter.—This was a questicn of
damages, which the Court rejected.

WESTMINSTER. SESSIONS.
The General Quarter Sessions for the City and Li- •
berties of Westminster commenced yesterday.
Mr. Thomas Burkett, a respectalale coatmerchant,
of Northumberland•strect, in the Strand, was indicted
for an assault _upon a diminutive lad, named John
Cockereli, a waiter at the Key bagnio, in Chandos-
street, Covent-garden.
It appeared in evidence, that the defendant on the
night of the 2lstrifJanhary last, was returning home
through Cockspur-street, Charing-cross, fro a
ner party, at which. be had offered copious libations
at the shrine of Bacchus, when he was accosted by'
two fair nymphs of the ftatd, who pressed him to re-
tire with them to a nightly hotel in the neighbourhood.
The defendant, however, being a married man, de-
clined the invitation,' and expressed a desire to pass
on, which however he was unable to do, until he
pushed them away with some violence on each side
of him. The prosecutor, who was Coming by, at
the time, and heard the horrid language which was
immediately uttered by the ladies, interfered with
the defendant, and a scuffle ensued, which terninatfd
very much to his cost. Having had his nose
and a contused head, he charged the defendant on
the watch, who was taken to the watch-house 'mime,
diately. -
Mr. ALLEY addressed the Jnry with great ingenuity
on behalf of the defendant ; but did not call'any %vits
.
nesses.—The defendant was found guilty, and sen-
tenced to pay a fine of ltis.
A sea-faring man, named William Smith, was,.
indicted for picking the pocket of Alexander Cope- „
land, Esq. the celebrated architect ; but was acquitted, .
of the fact by the Jury.—The defendant, howeicr,
volunteered into the Royal Navy forthwith.
Mr. Thomas Billings, of the East-laclia
.•
pany's Service, was indicted for an assault on Mr.
Bryant, attorney, on the 21st of January last, in, thei
LittlTheatre, in the Haymarket.
It appeared, that an altercation took place betweep
the prosecutor and the def.lndant in the tabby of tll4
Theatre, in consequence of the plaintiff's cane having,
accidentally touched the defendant's leg, which ter-
minated in the plaintiff's receiving a pair of black
eyes. Instead, lt;rxever, of settling the affair in the
usual honourable mode of satisfaction, the plaintiff
thought proper to appeal to the laws of his country to
obtain a reparation of his injuries.
The defeHant was found guilty, and sentenced to
- a fine of 40s.
