" At half pail tight, on obferving fignals flying
on St. Ann's Wand, hoifted French colours ; at
nine, having rounded,the Ifland, difeovered a fri-
gate with her forernalt out, and feveral fmall vef-
Ms clofe in Shore; backed the main topfail, cleared
for attion, and got fprings on the anchors ; then
filled and fet the fore-fail ; at ten the frigate fired
a Shot and twitted French colours; at fifteen mi-
nutes pact ten, having paffed through many dan.l
serous Shoals which lay in the harbour, anchored
witgin a cable's length of her, not being able to,
let clofer on account of a Shoal which lay on her
arboard bow-; the frigate hailed to defire a boat
might be fent on board her ; anfwered, we Should
fend one immediately ; let go the bell bower un-
der foot, broniTht the broadfide to bear, and at
twenty-five minutes pall ten hoified Englifh co-
lours and commenced firing, which was mflantly
returned by the frigate, and almoft immediately
by a raking battery from the Shore; at forty-two
minutes pall ten the ftigate firuck, cut her table,
and drifted on a reef; tent Lieutenant Mantua to
take poffeflion of her, the battery Rill firing; veered
away to bring the broadfide to bear on it; fent
Lieutenant CORRYN on Shore, on which the colours
were alfo (truck, and the people made their efcape ;
as Coon as the frigate ftruck, many of her crew
got on Shore in the boats.
" She proves to be la Chiffonne, having 14
ports on a fide, on the main-deck, but mounting
only z 6 twelve-pounders on that deck; 6 ftz-
pounders, and 4 howitzers, on the quarter-deck
and forecaftle ; She had, however, 14 twelve-
pounders mounted on the fide the engaged us; the
battery proves to be mounted with 4 of the fri-
gate's twelve-pounders, from her (larboard fide,
having a furnace for heating Shot, tome of which
were fired during the aEtion. La ChiffonneLcom-
=tided by Camaro Guieyffe, had about 23 killed,
and upwards of so wounded ; whereas the lot: on
our fide was only Benjamin Johnfon and John
Jones (festoon) killed, and a midfhipman flightly
wounded ; the running rigging a little cut, and the
main-topfail-yard Shot through in both yard-arms.
" Took poffeffion of a kbooner and a grab-
ketch, under French colours ; the fchooner being
funk by one of our 32-pounders, the grab by her
own crew. Sent havtfers on board the frigate,
and laid them to heave her off: received prifoners
from the Chiffonne, and fent a party of bands on
hoard her : found -riding hete, betides the prizes,
fume (mall veffels under Seychelle colours, viz. a
blue flag, with the words Seychelle Capitulation,
suarkotl in the middle with white letters; found
the frigate's foremaft on Shore, wanting a fifh,
cheeks, and a few hoops. The battery is excefEvely
well conftrucfted with fafcines, and a good plat-
form of plank, and would have done us much
nachief, had the adtion continued longer, as they
had juft Immo to &profs their guns. The number
of prifonte,that efcaped was upwards of too.
" La Chittonne, on her pottage from Nantes
to India, made 'a prize of one Portuguefe frigate,

LAW INTEL

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, TEL L 7.
The bufinefs to-day was wholly unintereaing.

SOUTH V. BAITER.

The plaintiff in this cafe was a milkman, and
the defendant a Gentleman's Servant and Diftiller,
living next door to each other, at Kenfington.—
The anion was brought for a trefpafs committed
by the defendant, in pulling down the party wall
between the two bodes, by which the plaintiff's
houfe was left expofed, and he was obliged to quit
it. There vras.a fecond count in the declaration,
for entering the plaintiff's premifes, and crating
a fcaffold. To this the defendant had pleaded
not guilty as to tire firs, and a licence to die fe-
cond.

Mr. MINGAY, for the plaintiff, proved the cafe
as laid in the declaration, and that the defendant
was out of poffetllon three months.
Mr. PARK!, on behalf of the defendant, con-
tended that the wall was their own wall, and that
they flopped their hand as loon as they found it
was the only one between the two houfes, until
they came to an arrangement, in which it was
agreed by the plaintiff, the defendant, ant, Lord
Holland's Steward, who was the fuperior land-
lord, that each ihould pay a third part of the ea-
pence of building the new wall. With refped
to the fecond count, he laid, from the ft ienc~ly
manner in which he fhould thew the plaintiff and
defendant lived together, the Jury would plefunte
a licence. He acc3rdingly called witneffes to thele
two points, but failing in the proof, the Jury re-
turned a verdia for the plaintiff, damages 151.

ANN FELLOWS V. JAMES ANDIETHERS..

This was an aslion of trefpars brought by the
plaintiff againft the defendants, for a trefpals, in
feizing and carrying away her goods. The de-
fendants juftified, for that one John Millar, who
held premites under a Mr. Shirley, had carried
away the goods in quellion, and that the defen-
dants followed them to make a feizure according
to the ftatute, which they did, averring them to
be the goods of John Millar.
From the evidence it appeared, that the plain-
tiff had cohabited with Millar, and leveral wit-
neffes were called, fonte of whom Rated that the
went by his name, and others that the did not al-
ways do it. Several Paid that they had known
her fome years, and that the bad always goods
of her own. Millar, the man with whom the had
cohabited, fwore, that the-goods were het's, and
none of his.

Mr. GIBBS infifted, that by law the defendants
had a right to feize the goods,although they were
the woman's, for that the cohabiting wish Millar,
and palling by his name, as between the landlord
and Millar, the former had a right to confider them
as the goods of the latter, and as fuch was jullificd
in feizing them for arrears of rent. He Rated a
cafe of Pot* and Owen, which, he raid, was ex•
aaly like the prefent, in which Lord KEN yoN held
the law to be as he Rated it.

Mr. ERSKINE, in reply, obfcrvcd, that the law
in his Learned Friend's bead was much better than
that in his note.book.—Verdiet" for plaintiff.

It EYSELL V. CHAPMAN.

Mr. Emu/ faid, this was an anion to recover li
the turn of 201. the amount of a Bank Note which
the plaintiff loft in Holborn, as he was going from
his father's houfe in Piccadilly to Cheapiide, he: c
he then lived. The defendant found this note.—
He was a workman at the manufaaory of hlcirrs.
Underwood, in Holborn, called the Sky-Light
Manufaetory. The defendant (hewed this Note to
the foreman of the manufaaory, in the pretence
of two of the workmen, and faid, he had found it.
The workmen taw the Note, and took notice of
the number of it, and one of them entered it in
chalk, the number was 2377 ; and there was on
the back of it, the name of Iddefon, which was
written by the plaintiff's father, he having received
this note of Mr. Iddefon, and had given it to his'
fon. The plaintiff advertifed the note, and having
three months afterwards been told, by one of the
workmen of this manufaCtory, who heard the de-
fendant fay, he found this note, and who faw it,
that the defendant had found it ; applied to him
for it, offering him the reward of 51. as he had
advertifed its but he thought fit to deny he ever
faw it; upon which the plaintiff and his father,
who accompanied him, gave the defendant notice,
that they fhould commence this action ; and the
defendant was dithoncft and foolifh enough to
defend it.
It then appeared, that the tither received this
note of Mr. Iddefon, and put his name on the
back of it, together with the date on which he re-
ceived it. That the defendant had ihewn this
note to the foreman and two of the workmen at
the manufaaory of Mefli-s. Underwood, they law
it, and fpecified the number 2377, the one of them
remembered it, and the other had chalked it up
in the manufaaory. The note was produced by
a clerk from the Bank, who proved it had there
been paid and cancelled in the ufual way.—The
plaintiff's father proved, from his own hand-
writing on the back of it, that this was the note
he Faye to his fon in the month of April laft, and
which he had loft—Verdia for the plaintiff, da-
mages 201.
