COURT OF KING'S BkNCII, FEBRUARY 23.
LAMBERT V. DALLIMORE.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a mer-
chant residing at Bristol, against the defendant, a
carrier, to recover the sum of 511. the value of an
imperial, containing *eating .apparel and other pro-
perty, which was stolen from the defendant's van.
It appeared from the evidence on the part of the
plaintiff, that he arrived with-his fami:y in London in
August last, on their way from Bourdeaux to -Bristol.
On the 17th of that Month, he went accompanied by
Mr. Blachford, his attorney, to the defendant's office,
in Doctors' Commons, and inquired what they charged,
for conveying goods to grisiol? The clerk asked
what description of goods-they-were? Being told that
they consisted of two imperials and a trunk, containing
principally weiriTig•apparel,. he said the charge was,
tic, per cwt. He was informed that they were then at
the searcher's office, in the Custom-house; upon which
he.promised to send 'smart there for them next morning.
Finally, the three articles were taken to the office, and
dispatched by the van; but the guard who accompa-
nied it out of town having gone no farther than Slough,
and the driver having occasion to leave the van for a
few minutes whilst he was delivering a parcel at
. Maidenhead, one of the imperials was stolen during his
abience, and was afterwards found empty, at a short
distance from that town. Mr. Lambert's portion of,
the contents of the stolen imperial *tie valued at 51T.,
the remainder belonging to his brother and a servant,
for the recovery of the value of which two actions have
been brought. The que,tinn upon which the case
tatted was this—on the wall outside, under a window
between the two doors leading into the defendant's
office, was placed a board, containing an intimation
that the proprietors would not be responsible for any
parcel above the value of .51. unless notice thereof was
given to them, and it Was paid for accordingly. Mr.
Blathford swore that he had never seen this board until
after the present action was brought, although he had
been previously at the office' bove a dozen times. On
the other hand, two of the defendant's porters swore
that when the plaintiff called to agree about the car.

tion to it.
The LORD CIMEI Amerce directed the Jury to say,
first, whether they believed the testimony of Mr. Blach-
fOrd 'or of the eefendant'S witnesses upon this part of
the c lse? because if they were of opinion that Mr. mach-
ford was correct in his statement, that he bad not ob-
ierved the board before the articles were sent off, they
were bound to find a verdict for the plaintiff to the
amount claimed; but if they believed that he had seen
the notice at the time in question, he (the Lord Chief
Justice) •would then have to submit one or two other
points for their decision.
The Jury, after a few moments' consultation/returned
a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 51/. 7s. 6d.
COURT OF COMbION PLEAS, FEBRUARY 23.
euntous narirruo—otasse V. GRAY THE YOUNGER.
This was an action to recover compensation in da-
Mages for the injury sustained by the plaintiff, who was
a- shears officer. The defendant was proprietor of a
stage-coach, plying from London to Oatlands and Wey..
bridge. On the 12th of November, about four o'clock
in the afternoon, as the plaintiff was coming from
Knightsbridge, on the right hand side of the road in a
gig, the defendant's coach was going from Hyde-park
turnpike-gate, on the wrong side of the road, driving at
full speed. It was incumbent on the coachman, espe-
ciatlrat such a time of the year, to be on the right side.
A Gentleman who was passieg at the time saw the
whore affair, and woutd prove that the coachman was
in a stupid state of intoxication. The plaintiff pulled
up his gig to allow the coach to pass, but the coach
drove up fill speed against it, and the Gentleman felt
horrified at the shock and crash which followed. There
was smother in the gig along with the plaintiff, and
bath were thrown out, the gig broken, and the horse
wounded severely. The plaintiff was carried to St.
George's Hospital, near which the accident happened,
and there dressed of a wound which he received in the
head. He was now happily recovered. It was most
essential to the public at large, that on a road so
much frequented as Hyde-perk turnpike, there should
be no fill ions di iving, and the defendant ought to suffer
for the act of his servant, who had committed this
abominable outrage.
Mr. Serjrant Pes.r. stated the case for the defendant.
The Jury fiiund a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 3C50, in-
cluding £lO fur the damage 'done to the horse.
SIDNEY V. SAME.
The plaintiff in this cue was in the gig at the time of the accident.
The case had scarcely proceeded, when a verdict for 4EIO was taken
by muscat.

This Was an action for assault committed by the de-
fendant on the plaintiff. Damages`w+•ere laid at 1001.
The plaintiff and *defendant were assembled at the
Three Tuns public house, Aldgate, some words arose
between them, and a blow was struck by the defendant.
There were• several witnesses examined on both sides,
and the Lord Chief Justice, in concludinghis address
to the Jury, said, from the arpearante of the witnesses,
he shottld suppose the honse in question to be one of a
very.respectable nature, where decent tradespeople and
Gentlemen retired on an evening. to puss an hour after
the faitiguesof business. In order, therefore, that persons
might go there with perfect safety, he recommended
the Jury :to give a verdict that would preitent others in
future from using iiuultiny and intemperate language,
and keep their hands within proper bounds. The Jury,
under his Lordship's direction, fuund•for the plaintiff—
Damages, 40s.

bythirease three of the witnesses 'cinched in the libel
ofietts..*rbith 4tainst hit husband were produced to be
• sworn at the bar.
Mr.W.Caritichael Sthith; in complying with the last
sistigthalion entei el in tile-Court books, engaged in an'
ettetnptsta and somewhat vehement direuisibit with the
pclittcirci Mit:Smith, touching die course tad faint:of
dtitaitn' pramiee.- The t;ourt was at lenith
:y of interposing; and requestik; r.

Smith to attend a little more to the substance rather
than the form of his own plea.
Mr. Smith theaprayed the Court to observe patti-
cularly the middle man of the three witnesses who no*
stood before him—(A lough). (This individual did not
Lappen to be absolutely handsome; and the oddity and
abt uptness of Mr. Smith's request seemed to piece him
in an awkward condition of confusion, owing to the
degree of notice which it drew upon him from every
person present.) .That middle map, Mr. Smith assured,
the Court, had been the principal instigator of all these
proceedings, on the part of Mrs► Sisith, against him.;
and therefore he wished the Court to look at him well,
to mark llim—(A laugh).
Sir Cuttesveruzaliosterni desired Mr. Smith to be more regular
in his proceedings there; and teptelvedtinl for the Interruption he
occasioned to the buisiietirof the Overt.
Mr. Smith, however, renewed his argument for some little time,
after his old matinee. After which the witness's were sworn with
the usual forms.

BAIN AND BAIN. •
hi this case, which was a. suit of separation and di-
vorce, brought by Bain, Esq. (an opulent ship•
owner), against Mts. Baine, his wife, by reason of her
adultery, the Com t granted the separation as prayed.

SIR JOIIN.AND LADY WINNINGTON.

Sir John having given a proxy in this case,
Dr. LEE informed the Court that the case_ of that Gentleman
would hereaftir proceed regularly under the advice of Counsel.
Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON) referring to the 131st
Canon, which declares that no snit shall be entertained
by these Courts which shall not have been advised or
sanctioned by Counsel, asked' the Registrar whether he
had made the inquiry directed at the last sitting of the
Cooct, as to the ptactice of other Courts in receiving
pleas not signed by Counsel ?
The Registrar said he had, and that the other Regis-
trars advised, that no instance was known of such pleas
being received ; and though one or two exceptions
might have occurred, the general rule was indisputable.
The COURT then gave notice, that in any case here-
after, where the parties might appear to be in such a
condition as Sir J. Winnington and his Lady, for ex-
ample (though the course new meant to be adopted by
that Gentleman made the observation no longer appli-
cable to him), the Court war determined to enforce the
Rule, and to receive no plea without the signature
of Counsel.

THE EARL OF PORTSMOUTH AGAINST MARIA HANSON,
FALSELY STYLED COUNTESS OF PORTSMOUTH.
The Proctor in this case stated, that a suit of nullity
of marriage had been entered against Lady Portsmotith
in this Court; and a citation (which is the very first
proceeding had in such matters) had been taken out
against her. That citation ought to have been long
since returned; bat it had been hitherto found imprac-
ticable to get it served upon Lady Portsmouth. He
was therefore under the necessity of praying .the Court
to pronounce her in contempt.
The Couae said, that if an appearance was not given for this
parr/ by the first day:of nett Term, it woolfi decree as prayed.
A great deal of other public business was transacted•
