ATILSTORD V. TODD.

This was an action to recover penalties againfl the
Defendant, for letting a bode to travel by the mile.
—A verdict was found for the Plaintiff; which was
afterwards made up into a fpecial verdict, and was
this day argued by the Attorney General for the
Plaintiff, and Mr. Fuller for the Defendant. The
Ratement of the fpecialverdid was confidered by the
Court as very unfatisfadory. Inflead of Rating the
conclufions on the fads by the Jury, merely the evi•
dente of certain fads was Rated : upon which, there-
fore, the Court could not decide. It was at length
agreed between the Counfel, that it Ihould be Rated,
as the leading fad in rapport of the verdict, " that
the Defendant let to hire to one G. Collingdon, to be
ufed in travelling, and to travel fourteen miles, that
is to fay. from Bath to Bradford, being the fpace of
(even miles, and back again, for which he (the De-
fendant) was to be paid 4.1.
Mr. PULLER, in contending that the Defendant
was not liable to the duty, relied much upon the cafe
of the King v. Tooley, 3. Term Rep. 39, which arofe
upon the conftrudion of the Ilatute 25th Geo. 111. c.
51. by which the former Poll Horfe Duty was
enacted, and he raid that the 44th Geo. 111. c. too,
the lafi Stamp AA, which repeals that flame, was
intended only to confolidate duties. and to place them
under the controul of the CommifGoners of Stamps.
The ATTOIN if GENERAL argued that the Defers.
dant's cafe came within the lea flatute, and that he
was liable to the duty.
The Court did not decide the quellion.
Lord ELLEIIDOILOVOK. and Mr. Jullice Law.
React faid, it would be a great hardfhip if a woman
who took a horfe to go from a village to a market
town and back again to fell, her eggs, or a cat ate to
go to ttrve hi; church, mould be liable to pay the
duty. And that if the Legiflature intended to intro.
duce a provifion different from all former ones, it
was little better than an impoution to do fo in an Aft,
which profeffed merely to increafe the rates of for.
mer duties, and confolidate the provifions of former
Ads, when no perfon's attention was drawn to
the fobjea. Their Lordlhips deferred giving judg-
ment, until they fhould have examined the two Ads
of Parliament connected with this guffaws.

A new Lobby has bees formed at the buck of the
fidt Gallery in the Haymarket Theatre, by which
means the audience will be free from the annoyance
which they have fo long endured from the Women
of the Town. The ref/cameos ate to be diaributed
in the new Lobby.
