important, as well from the magnitude of the in•

the greatelt circumlpection. He Ihould, therefore,
not tak:! any licp till he had tiril confulted with
the twelve Judges. as to the mode in which Conn-

ferred to the Court by his Majelly, and from the

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE z&
TAVtTT V. GREEN, READ, AND ROGERS.

Mr.‘Vult.i.t- opened the pleadings, and Mr. Set.-
jcant X' AVC; if N addreffed the Jury on behalf of the
Plaintiff. He hated this to be an anion brought
the Defendants to try a very important point,
vit. whether the Defendants, Read and Rogers,
were pat tm.rs with Green, a hilt:nit-baker? He laid
the bakehoule had been built by Read and Rogers,
who had heen timid upon the premifes, apparently
aaing as partncrs, and that a bill had been judo, fed
by them. Ile then called—
James Hague, a corn-dealer at Litnehonfe, who
fwore that Grctn applied to him on the 7th of De-
cember for flour, when }laving none to WI. be.rc-
commended him to the Plaintiff. Green anted the
Plaintiff if he would tell him ten lacks of flour ? to
whiekhe replied, " I don't know Ton," and re-
ferred: to the wand's, who told the Plaintiff he
thought he might mill Grcen.—He admitted, up-
411i his crols-examinatinn, that Read and Rogers
were not prefent he only law Green, and made
out the bill to hint.

The carman was then called, who delivered the
flour to Green, and law no one elle.

James Fox proved he worked in the bakehoufe,
and was engaged by Green cid y. He always look-
ed on him as his mailer. He heard Rogers once
fay the bread was not fo gond as it had been, and
had teen Captain. come to pay bills, and go into
the counting !inure. He admitted the counting-
honk as belonging to Read and Rngcrs, who were
timber-met chants at R oche Iler ; and that they could
not get to the bake-hottfe without going through
the yard belonging to Read and Rogers.
Fos's teitimony was confirmed by John Cham-
Om, another fervant, who fwore he never confider-
ed the Defendants as partners. And afterwards the
Plaintiff called a number of ether witneffes.

It appeared in e►idence, that Read and Rogers
had built the bakeluatfe for Green, who was to
have paid th.m a rent for it ; that after he abfccnd-
ed, they diarained on the premifes for the rent ;
that Green was ;hen in Newgate at the (nit of Read
and Rogers, for money lent him ; and that they
had occationally made entries in the (welts, which
were produced. It appeared that Green was II&
iCa to have the gout in his fingers. It alfivappeared
that Green had debited Read and Rogers iu the
books for bread fold to them for their families life.
A bill was produced, which had been drawn by
Green on elllC Larnb.ird, a baker, for goods fold to
him. Green indotfed the bill to the other Defen-
dants, who had indorfed it as Read and Rogers.
The learned Judge faid, the circumßance of the
bill clearly proved they did not hold then►felves
out as partners to the world.

Mr. :ierjeant Br sr role to addrefs the jury, on
the part of the Defendants, Read and Rogers, but
was lopped by one of them, who laid they were
all fatisfied no partnerthip exificd. •

JUNE 25.-FISNAR.ti. WARD.

On a ?notion to fa :Link the vcrdia in the fc-
cord trial of thi, cauti :

Alt. Serjeant SHFPNFRD fail—My Lards. in the
cafe of Fillter againti Ward, in which I moved the
other day that the verdid might be fet aftde, for
the purpofe of having the quelliouv of law decided,
And which the Court defired might Rand over till
today, I with to Rate on the part of my client
(the defendant) how this cafe Rands. It is not a
cafe where dive has been two trials, and in which
the Jury have twice found a verdid the fame way
on one Ate; but on the &II trial the fads were
agreo.l upon, and it was reduced to A cafe, and the
Jury gave a vetelid for the plaintiff, filbjelt to the
rontideration of the Court on that cai, and whet.
that cafe came on to be argued, the Court fuggeit-
ed another (median' that might atilt, namely, the
qua lion on .t Ziantuas mrrzdt, fuppufing the law
put an end to the contra ; and therefore the
Court granted a new trial, which was for the be.
nexh of the deferdant, as well as of the plaintiff.
The new trial was granted for the purpofe of afcer-
Limning how march the plaintiff deferred to have
ftom Riga to London, on the fuppofttion that the
embargo in print of law put an end to the con-
trail ; ani on that point the plaintiff made out no
cafe, ban left the cate jifil as it flood bet Ore, name-,
lv, on a convertation between the Captain and
fame of the failors when they were up the country.
Now, my application to the Court was to fet ahlde
the verdict, and to grant a new trial, or that the
vertlit ()timid be ftabied to the confider:aim' of the
Court can the quellion of law as it Rood before the
fecond trial, with the addition only of one faCt.—
:I•he Jury having found a rerdid on the fecund
trial, did not give the plaintiff a right to the bene-
fit of that verdid, unlefs the law was with him. It
is not a tr.:Rion of fad which could turn the Yet..
did one way or another, but it is a queltion for the
opinion of the Court. Taking. ali the fads as they
were proved, Rill I fay, in point of law, the plain.
tiff was not entitled to the verdict. Mr. jollier
Heath, the other day, (aid, as this had been it le-
cond time tried, he had a doubt whether the Court
'odd grant a aew trial aftcz a ici:Qual trial. That
Lab

olffervation would be extremely ftrong in many
cafes, as for inflance, where a jut y, having found
a yenta on the firlt trial, witl any queflion
referved, and the time point had flood for a fecond
trial, and a fecond Jury had found the fame vet-
did on precifely the time doe. littt this cafe is
not fo circumllanced ; hecaufe at the &ft trial the
faas were all agreed upon. 'There was a new
point flailed by your lairdlhip, which was very
fit to be 'enquired into. The plaintiff did not foe-
ceed on that width leaves the cafe where it flood
before the fecond trial, with only the circumllance
or one additional fad, which was a converlation
with the Captain with finne of the failors up the
country. That circuntllance may he added to the
cafe. It may be fltid, why is the plaintiff to be at
the expence of trying the queflion of law ? where-
ever a plaintiff brings an anion, and a (Nation of
law arifes in the CAfe, he mull be at the txpence
of trying that quelliJn of law.
Lord A LvANLEY.—The queflion now to be de-
cided is, whether we, in our difcretion, (hall force
this man, after two trials, to litigate this great quell
Lion, which the body of the merchants of England
are delimits to have decided ? The queflion is,
whether we are to compel a tingle failor to do this
who has brought his action for 321. and there is a
sencral verdict, which will conclude nothing at all
in the record—and our giving judgment can pro-
duce no precedent on the point ; and therefore I
have no difficulty in faying, that if the merchants
will not do what 1 propolcd, they have no right to
exited, where there has been a general verdid,
where new points of law cannot he railed and let
up as a precedent, and cannot aired this embargo,
they have no right to expea a new trial. By this
general verdid no queilion of law whatever is de-
cided, and you are left to take anothet cattle to
try, lo that the Court may have it on the record.in
the shape of a fpecial verdid, a bill of exceptions,
or in any way you think fit to have it. Let us fee
what this cafe is which you with to make the lead-
ing cafe, in order that it may go up to the Houle
of Lords. The quellion only is in point of difcre-
Lion, whether we thonld do juffice to the prefent
plaintiff, if we were to hying it into that thape
Now the fads are theft: this man brings his action
for 321. it is very true the cafe that arnie did in-
volve tittle great queftions. There was a cafe re.
ferved ; that cafe went to another trial, and it was
very much varied in a very confiderable point,
namely, not merely leaving the queltion, whether
wages were or were not due during the continu-
ance of the embargo ? but fuppoflng it put an end
to the contrad, the quellion might be, whether a
new contra: might be implied or prove.l ? In this
cafe, it was proved that the Captain raid, if they
!Laid, their wages would go on. The Jury, relying
on that, gave the plaintiff a verdict for 321. Now
take the opinion of the Court on the queftion of
law on the next cafe. The jury having given a
general verdict on this cafe, the quellion does not
arife. It would he too much to fend this to ano-
ther trial to have the quellion of law decided,
when the body of merchants will not pay the' ex-
pence of it.
Mr. Serjeant SHICPHERD.---I do not at all under-
Iland Lord Alvanley interpofing; I Man not be
replied upon.
Mr. Juilice ROOKE.--I do not know how we
can fey ;aide this verdict. The Captain faysto this
man, go on board, and your wages are going on;
I think that is decilitre.

Mr. Serjeant DAYLEY.—That was Paid to ano-
ther man, and not to the plaintiff
I Mr. plaice Root' E.—lt was I:tid to one of the
crew. It was laid to one of the feamen who was
on board that (hip.
Lord ALYANLLY.—The only quenion is, whe-
ther it than go to a third trial ? and I am clearly
of opinion that it ought not.
Mr. Serjeant Bays ai.--;We do not a& for a new
trial, but only lot a fpe,:ial verdia. We only with
to have the quellion of law determined.
Lord Asv mi.sy.—The queltion of law does
not arife on this cafe. You mutt have another
cafe to have the quettion of law decided. I beg
to have it underttood, that this cafe decides no
queltion of law ; it is merely the cafe of feamen's
wages, and there is judgment for the plaintiff for
.t certain lam. The word embargo does not oc-
cur in the record, and therefore it does not include
any thing in point of precedent, and we are not to
be wide' Rood as giving judgment on this queltion.
To be lure it will be a queltion that may arife in.
future cafes • but if the body of the merchants of
England will not be at the expence of trying it ;
if it were to go back to a third trial, in order that
it might go to a higher Tribunal, I think, if we
were to grant a new trial at the expence of the
plaintiff, we thould do him injuffice. It decides
nothing ; I only beg to have that underitood.
Mr. Set jeant SHErHERIA.-...1 have mitunderflood
the whole of the proceedings.
Lord ALVANI.F.Y.I do not give any opinion
on the great queltion of law, as to the circa of the
embargo, but have lett that to be decided in tome
other cafe.

Mr. Serjeant BAYI.EY.TIIC only thing we with
to have decided is the queltion of law.
Mr. Jullice CHAMISRE.—Thert is no foundation
for laying, in the eserrife of our difcretion, that
this man Ihould be further itaraffed: both parties
mittook the law ; that is probable an this cafe. It
was left to the Jury to give the plaintiff what da-
mages they thought fit; they have exercifed their
difcretion, and it kerns to me, though they may
have been wrong, that this man ought not to be
dillurbed with a new trial.

Lord ALVMELEY./ would put it ferionfly to
the conilderation of the Merchants of this great
city, whether it would not he to their credit to
make up a pude, and have this cafe put on the
r.:cord, and let that decide all the mitt?
Mr. Avc 14 ESOWargy client, the defendant,
(lauds alone.
Lord ALVAN LE ir.—The demand is to the
mould of feveral thoufand pounds. Why might
not the merchants fubteribe towards the catrying
on of this caufe ?
Mr. ATctitsott.—The owner has face become
a bar:kit:pt.
Mr. Serjeant Baytty.—The owner is an in.

I F. 22.
This day the Right I-Inn. Sir W ILI A M Sco-ur
proceeded 6) the Adjudication of the following
Panics

St. Johannes Pietiers, Malley.—This was a
Swedifh laden with a cargo of flax, hound
on a voyage from Rotterdam to Barcelona, when
the was captured on the 24th of September, t:ot,
and brought into Guernfey. ¶t appeared this was
a further proof cafe with a refral to the cargo,
whit', was claimed as .neutral property, the (hip
having been already difpofed of. It was fubmitted
on behalf of the captors that this was a fraudulent
tranCalion, as molt manifellly appeared from.the
charter-party. The Court, after hearing the
Conde! on the part of the claimant, condemned
the cargo, but pronounced freight and expences
to be due to the neutral Mailer. _

The Chance, Atwood maiter.—This was
A (hip failing under American colours, going in
ballaft from Traequehar to Madras, when (he was
captured in the beginning of Api,jl 18ot, by his
Majeay's (hip the intrepid, Wm. Haywood, Elq.
Commander. This (hip was claimed as the mo-
ray of an American Citizen, bnt it appearing
that the claimant had quitted America at a very
early period of and had gone, and ahuolt con-
(Lindy retitled at air He of France ever lince, the
"Court was of opinion ~oat this pei fon had acquired
a Frenth charatlei, and that he had by no ael
divdted himiell of that charther at the time of
the capture, and therefore condemned the Chip as
good and lawtnl prize.

THURSDAY, JUNE 24..
The Vittoria, elf Uher, Maner.—This was a
further proof cafe with refpefit to a cargo Of !natl•
dy, which was going, as all the original papers
delcribcd, from Barcelona to Gottenisurg, but it
appeared that the Mailer had other infirtiftions to
deliver the brandy at (literacy, conlequently it
was fubmitted, on the part of the Captors, that
the correfpondence now produced VIAS colourable
invelpelt to the real tranfaition.
The Court was of opinion that this was not a
genuine and fincere tranfaaion, and therefore re.
jetted the claim, and condemned die proper,/ as
good and lawful prize to the captors.
Fortuna, Tadfen, Maller.—This was a quellion
of freight claimed on behalf of the captcus. It ap-
peared that the 'hip had been condemned, but that
the cargo, confifting of corn, had been reamed,
on further proof, and carried to its own proper
p.art of deftination, viz. Lifbon. It was fubmitted
by the Connie!, that the freight in this cafe was
due, for in fart the whole of the; contract was per:
formed to the fatisfaftion of the parties themfelves,
it being their intention that the veal &mild go to
that port. The Court accordingly pronounced
freight to be due to the Captors.
