COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE Ts.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL V. DICK.
We Elated this cafe at confiderahle length in our
paper of Friday lafl. The fubjeet was this day re-
fumed, when Mr. 'Fitowaa concluded the defence,
and the SOLICITOR GOIERAL the reply on the part of
the informant.
Mr Tanw ER explained the nature of the exchange
will foreign countries and fettlements, from PnIlle•
thwaite's Commercial Dictionary, edition 1767.—
From the fame authority he (hewed, that the pre•
miums in Jamaica fence given for bills on England,
was prob tblv not known at the time when the in-
flruainns under which the defendant afted, were
prepared ; and, if Cu, could not be within the con-
templatinn of th,fe who framed filch intiruetions.—
If this flatement were comet, the defendant had not
done wrong in applYing to his own emolument, the
item of account which had excited fo much com•
ment When the defendant accepted this office, he
was Purfer of a 74 gun thip, and the income of ilia
a fituati n was ;col per annum. He had been flag-
fetter to Come ut the Alert and brave(! Admisals in
the fervice: he had a fon who was Po(l Captain in
the Mita Navy ; and it was not to be expeeted, that
a man in his fituation fhould banith triurfelf front his
country in a di taut and dangerous fersice, for the
paltry pittance of 2001. a year, and at the fame time
increafe the expenees of his domeflic ellabliflimcnt
to a confiderable amount, in a colony where a fort of
hofpitality was adopted wholly unknown in
thefe colder regions. The witnefs Guy had pocketed
the fame premiums ; all his fucceffors had continued
in the like prat-lice ; the ATTORNEY GENERAL would
not venture to bring forward a hale demand up ‘n
the former Officers, but the defendant, as being the
laft man, was to be made the '('cape goat for the refl.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL (aid, he would pats over
a great deal that had been fan on the other fide, be-
caufe it had no bearing on the queflion. The fimpk
enquiry was, whether there refulted any profit from
the•negociation of thefe Navy Bills in the ifland of
Jamaica ? The anfwer was, that one fource of profit
upon them was a premium of from to to 17 per cent.
What was done with.this profit ? The defendant had
put it into his own pocket, contrary to the exprefs
ccntrael with the Navy Board in the thirteenth arti•
cle of his ir.ffruetions.
The CHIEF BARON afked how it came to pals, that
the Commiffioners, for feveral years, had rermrtted
the defendant to proceed, without enforcing the
right of the public to Ode premiums ?
'the SOLICITOR G EN I cannot, certainly,
anfwer this queflion, without fume imputation upon
the ennduet of the public c,.icers. I Ipeak with great
fuhruilli in with refpeel to thefe gentlemen, but it
does teem to me that they have been extremely re.
mils„
The CHtsr BARON remarked, they had been fire
year v. therm difinverirg that their directions in
1795, in rsgsr.l to the is: ealims, had not been com•
plied with.
Mr. JERVIS.-" In jtiftice to theft Honourable
Gentlemen, I thick it right to (late the filet. The
Navy Board, at that time, was not divided into fe- I
partite Committees, fo that feveral branches of the
duties the Commiffinners were entt n fled to the'
fubordinate clerks of 't Bice. Upon this abufe, of
which we now complain, being difcovered, the Navy
Board was diflributed into thole Committees, and
we have, at this day, the good fortune to know, that
all the accounts are under the immediate infpeEtion
of the Commiffinners ihernfelves ; and wu have every
mai) to frippore, that the former laxity will not be
repeated."
The SOLICITOR GENERAL entered at eonfidcrable
length into the fubjeet, to (hew the invalidity of the
arguments employed by his learned opponents, the
neceffity of their making out a very different cafe to
fuppoi: their pretenfions, and the propriety and ur-
gency of the interference of the Court to obtain the
account required from the defendant.—Judgment
defer red.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, JUNE
1 HF. KING V. THE PARISH OF ST.GEORGE, MIDDLESEX.
The Court was occupied the whole of the morning
up,,n this cafe ; the queltiin arofe upon the conitruc-
tin of the 39th and 4oth lias of the prefeni King,
commonly called the Loncl,m Dock AI,C and the
difpute between the parties war, whether the Parifh
of St. George had a right to demand certain fums of
money for Poor's Rates again(t the London 1). ck
Company ?
Af'er hearing the ATTORNEY GENERAL on the
past of the profecution, and Mr. I.I,•sANQTEr on the
other fide, at very confiderable length, the CoutL
deferred their Judgment until A future day.

THE KING V. DANIFL Lev FLL, ES

The defendant in this cafe was brought up from
the King's Bench Ptifon, for final judgment, having
fuffered judgment by eefault 'lron an information
for a libel ag.tinft Peter Cazalet, Eq. as already memo
tinned in a former Viper.
Nlr. Junice GRCZE, in pronouncing the fanence

rf the Court, ad3reffed the defendant nearly as fol-
lows You, Daniel Lovell, liand felfeonviged
of publifhing a molt atrocious and fcandalous ca-
lumny upon the profectoor, who is Rated to he a
refpegahle banker of the city of London. From
the proceedings it appears, that the profecutor had
fuhfcribed a policy of infnrance for a gentleman
for whom you aged, and that you afterwards made
a demand upon him for the lofs ; and, furely, if he
had a doubt whether he was bound to pay it or not,
he had a right to refill filch a pryment, until that
doubt was removed, and you might have brought
your of ion in a Court of I..tw to recover that amount;
but fuch is the wiaintn of the laws under which we
live, that payment is not to be compelled by force,
or threats, or by any foul and fcandalous calumnies.
You appear to have been fully aware of the extent
of your offence, and when the Solicitor applied to
you, you triumphantly told him, you would publifh
a much worfe libel, lb that the profecutor thould
not be able to thew his face upon the Stock Exchange.
You tell us, by way of mitigation of punifhment,
that at the time you committed this aft, you were
:gnorant that you were offending againli the law;
but we cannot, upon the evidence before us, believe
that to be the fag ; for it is impoflible Er any man,
in the ordinary mirk of life, to be more ignorant of
this offence, than any other offence againft the law
of the land; if, however, chafe grounds of mitigation
are well foonded, it will be the duty of this Court,
by punifhment and example, to teach men what the
law is upon this folk& ; to open your eyes, there-
fore, to convince you of your mißake, and to prevent
a repetition of filch offences in future, this Court
Both order and adjudge, that you do pay a fine to
the King of 501. and that you be recommitted to the
cuftody of the Marlhal of the Marlhalfea for one
calendar month, and at the end of that period, you
do give fecnrity for your future good behaviour for
the (pace of three years, youtfelf in 5001. and two
fureties in 1501. each."

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE IS.
MFNDFZ V. MARTIN.
This w2s an rUlion to recover from the Defendant
a fum of 341. 6.. being the amount of !rnard and
lodging, for one year and a quarter, for the Defett•
dant's wife, at the rate of half-a guinea per week.—
Both parties in this cattle were Jews. The Plaintiff
founded his claim upon his reception of the Defen•
dant's wife, who was c.tparated from him, and delli-
tine rf all means of fut port ; and the Defendant
tefified the demand, upon a plea t: at his wife had
eloped from his lr.tift without jult caufe.
Front the c.a. flayed in evidence, however, it ap•
!seared, that the Defendant was one of thole gallant,
gay Lotharios, who had no very arta regard to the
conjugal vow ; and that, in ennfervictice of repeated
intlances of his infidelity, and frecrient bicketings
aiding therefrom, the hufband and wife had fepa
rated. Through the interference of their relpeAtve
friends, however, they were again reconciled. But
this re-union was of Illittt continuance ; for the De-
fendant again Inpfed into hi. former frailties, and
in a way to flagrant, that his wife was at length pro-
voked to quit his manflon, and to leek an afylum and
confolation amonglt her ft lends in fome diflant quarter
of the kingdom. In the commencement of 06tober 1804,
therefore, the packed up loch of her futniture, as the
conceived to be veiled in her, and removed with it
to the lic,trfe of a neighbour, named Walfh, in Smock-
alley, Petticoat-lane. She met her hufband next day,
and acquainted him with her determination to aban-
don him, and to remove to Lynn, in Norfolk, and
there to let up ionic btslinefs for her own fopport.—
The hufband, however, endeavoured to difluade her
from leaving him ; adding, that if the did fo againit
his ,content, he was no longer her hufband. She,
however, perfilled, took leave of her mother and
mothet in law,and fet out for Lynn in the fly waggon;
but not having fucceeded in her fpeculati-ns there,
after Come time the returned to London, and took
refuge in the family of the Plaintiff, where the con-
tinued to board and lodge for a year and a quarter.
It alio was proved, that the Defendant had made a
propofal to her, to allow her half a guinea a week for
her fupport.
Sir JAMES MANSFIELD made a few obfervatinns
upon the evidence, and referred the cafe to the Jut y,
who intlantly found a verdiii for the Plaintiff.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, JUNE ts.
HORSEMAN V. FITZSIMONS.
Mr. ADAMS opened the pleadings, and flitted that I
this was an aetion brought by the Plaintiff, who is an
unmarried woman, againtt the Defend-nr, who is an
attorney, fur an affault and falfe imprifonment, for
which the damages were laid at two hundred pounds;
the Defendant had put in a plea of Not Guilty, and
further pleas of juftitic ition.
Mr. H. D. GRADY floated the cafe in a very full
and able manner, from which, as well as from the I
examination of feveral witneffes on the part of the
Plaintiff by Meffrs. Grady, Ridgeway, and Adams,
it appeared that the Plaintiff fended for fame time
at a houfe in Jervis-tlicet, where the let lodgings—
har kale expired, and the premifes became the
property of Sir J. J. W. Jervis, who previous to the
expiration of her leak, dernifed thole and force
others adjacently lituated, to Fiteimons, the De-
fendant, which were covenanted to be taken down
and others built thereon ; previous to the expiration
of the Plaintiff's leak, the Defendant and the agent
of Sir John, applied to her for the pofftili,,n, w hich
the refuted to give up ; they then brought an eject-
ment upon the title—a Mrs. Brady was tenant in an
out houfe at the rear of Plaintiff's premifes, and
when her kale expired, the alledged that fame had
been ere4led by her relations, and the pulled down
and difpofed of a great part of fame. In the month
, of 1806, the Defendant and the agent of Stu
John came to the premifes, when Plaintiff was Irons
home, and having leen Come boards or in a
lucked up room or cellar, alledged that they were
tome of thole timbers which had belonged to the out
honk which had been partly pulled down and dif-
poled of by Mrs. Brady. Upon Plaintiff's coming
home, and hearing of this charge, the went to the
Defendant's houfe, within a few doors of her own, to
explain and faddy him that they were no part of
the out.houk, but had been there a long time pre-
vious to the fime beingpulled down. The Defendant,
however, about five o'clock the fame evening, fern
ten able bodied watchmen to her honk, who brought
1 her in cuftody through the fireets to Mary's watch
hook, where the Defendant thortly atter appeued,

and charred her in a fulemn manner, foi " bre.rk•
inz down a honk in Jervis fire►, and healing the
materials thereof ;" and he further declared, he
would have her the next day in the body of New.
gate.-13ail was offered and ranted, the charge
being a capital felony ; the Plaintiff was detained
all night in the watch-houfe, among the common
felons and common prollitutes, and, among them,
on the following morning, marched publicly tltronf••h
she fireets, to the office of Sir Wm. Worthington in
Blackball-place ; where, upon hearing the particulars
Sir William Worthington refuted to ake the examina-
tions, and fhe was difcharged. The ejelment, how.
ever, was proceeded upon, and an Hakre obtained,
which was executed by Sher iffsßailiffs, accompanied
by Defendant.
There were a number of witneffes examined and
crofs examined on both fides, and after a charge from
Mr. Jo(lice OSBORNE, the pity retired, and after
Come deliberation, returned a vet diet for the Plaintiff,
Sol. damages, and 6d. colts.
In the Court of King's Bench, on Monday fall, a
criminal informarion was granted againfl two refrec-
table Attornies, for fending a challenge to the prefent
High Sheriff of the county of Wicklow, relative to a
milunderllanding which appeared to be between the
parties, in the appointment of an Under Shetiff for
that county.
In the cafe of Birnall againfl the Marquis of Do-
negall, in the Court of Chancery, Lord Manners,
yellerday, pronounced a decree in fulallance—to
account ; in which his Lord!hip was pleafed to lay,
that all fecutities for monies paid into the hands of
the Marquis of Donegan Mould (land ; but not furch
fecuritip as were patted for monies paid into tic
hands oT other pet fons who were rmedio the castle.
Mr. Padden, who was, through miulake, arpre-
hended on fufpicion of being concerned in the mur-
der of the Rev. Mr. &Mar thy, and whole name was,
amonga others, mentioned in the Papers, has been
difcharged—on invenigation, the fmallett ground for
fufpicion not appearing againfl him, and the moll ho-
nourable teflimony heirg borne to his charaeler, by
perfons of relpeelability. The above melanchu,ly
affair is likely to be clearly elucidated, as two of the
perfons implicated have given fuch information as
will not only fatisfy public jullice in this particular,
but lead to the fuppreflion of a daring banditti alto
have tong infefled the county of Dublin.
