Government have at length ferionfly determined
to improve the external appearance of the two Hotifes
of Parliament, and to give to the prefent fhapelefs pile
of building a regular form. The alterations and im-
provements will be Upon a very extenfive fcale, and
it will probably be tome years before they are com-
pleted. It is intended, in the firft inflance, to take
down all the private hot.fes and buildings in Palace-
yard, which join Weflmintler-hall and the Exchequer.
The gteat North Front of Weftminfter-hall is to be
reltored as nearly as poffible to its original Rate, and
the Court of Exchequer on the Weft, and Exchequer.
offices on the Eaft fide of it will have new Gothic
fronts. In the interior of Wellminaer-hall, the
Screen, which now divides the Courts of Chancery
and King's Bench from the roll of the Hall, is to be
removed, and the Hall reitoted to its original dimen-
lions; and new Courts are to be conftrated in the
fame manner as the Common Pleas. The private
honfes which adjoin the Houfe of Lords in Old Pa-
lace-yard, will immediately be taken down, and the
Hour- of Lords will be new fronted, to correfpond
with the reft or the building.% When thefe improve-
ments (hall have been completed, it is propofed to pull
down all the houfes in Margaret•ftreet, f 0 as to throw
the Abbey completely open ; and it is faid that the
houfes which now form the Terrace in Palace-yard,
and the whole South-fide of Bridge-flreet, will be
taken down.

Tuefday laf was celebrated, at the Manor-honfe,
at Great Brickhill, in Bucks, the feat of PH IL ['Dux-
cords' l'auNce TORT, Efq. on his coming of age.
Monday fe'nnight Swanfea Races comtnencee, ani
the weather proving as favourable is could be with-
ed, the alremblage of csmpany on the ground, both
for elegance and number, was altogether unprece-
dented.

A match for fifty guineas between 7.1 r. Manfcl
PhiHipps's b. m. Mary> by ,Sticiler, 4 years old, and
Mr. Jones's aged gelding, Blacifmith, the laft mile
of the courfe, tuft. each, was won ealily by the for-
mer.—Six and (even tq four on the winner.—Very
confiderable rums were won and loft on this match.

The fpnrts were concluded by a race between four
female jockies for the fide•faddle, which was ohfli-
nately contelted, to the inexoreMble delight of att in-
numerable enncout fe of fpeelators. Encouraged by
the applauding ihuuts of welt numbers, and the
admiring grins of others, the fair adventurers flail-
ed t n"t even Mrs. Thornton herfelf, though more;
nobly mounted, would have excited a louder hoz.—
Unincumberei by too numb fowl, the fair darnfels
prefented a truly grotelque appearance to the view,
and it would require the pencil of a Hogarth to give
a jolt delineation of the fcene.
TAR week, two mallers of River hoops trading to
Hull, ofthe name of GOOD and Vsz sr, were drowned
in the Oufe, near Howdendyke, in attempting to
weigh an anchor belonging to one of their vettels.
The anchor having got entangled among (me roots,
dragged the boat they were in under water; and the
flrength and rapidity of the current rendered it im•
pollible to fare their lives ; although Goon was fup-
poled to be one of the belt fwirnurers in this country.

LONDON SKSSIONS.

Irefferday the London Seffions was held at Guild-
hal', bernre the o,ra wow StKJ EA r and City Officers,
when William Ptippe, a boy of fourteen years of age,
was tried for will ul and corrupt perjury.
The Jury were induced to acquit him, probably'
under an impreflLn that he was incapable of pullet.-
Ping folid knowledge of the nature of an oath.
• other routine burin& of the Seffiuns was slit.-
poled of, and the Court adjourned.

SURREY ADJOURNED (.11SSTONS.
There SefEons commenced yellerday, at the new
Sefnons Houle; Horfeinonger lane.
Pirharttiort was indißed for affaulting Mr.
rriend, a grocer, in High fireet, Borough. Mr.
Morris Rth a' the cafe to the Jury, which was after-
wards confirmed by the evidence of the plaintiff and 1
his fhopman.. Between five and fix in the evening of 1
the 2 itt of December fail, the Defendant came Into
the (hop in order to buy Time raifins. The Profecu.
OW Mewed him foine, and the Defendant ordered him
to weigh four pounds. The Plaintiff was in the all
of we;illing the raifins when his porter came up
from the cellar, in quell of the handle of a mill with
which li•i Was about to grind fume pepper. While
the Plaintiff was giving him this machine he (Merv.'
ed the D4epdant put his hand on the raifins and take
up about half a pound weight, which he put into a
fide pocket. The Defendant then afked the Profe-
tutor lonr.e questions refpe&ing the price of fugar-
randy, and other grocery articles ; laying, tl;at he
might be cf ufe to him,• as he was in the habit of
attending country faits. He then paid fur the four -
pounds. of raifins, and when he' was going rut, the
Profecntor tapped him on the (boulder, for the pnr-
pure of exciting his attention, and Paid--" My
friend, the next time you go into a grocer's (hop be
careful you don't pocket any plumbs, as it may pro.
duce bad confequences."—The Defendant replied to
this, that the Profecutor could not fwear he had teen
him•take the r3ifins ; called hint a liar, and tiruck
him. He was then twice turned nut of the (hop, and
he came back., a third time, bringick with him a Mr.
Inglis, a road:firmer, who knew him ; and who
took Mr. Friend to talk for charging th Defendant
with a felony. The evidence for the profecution went
on to (late feveral violent expreffions of the laden-
' dant, and alt.() proved that the Profecutor received
from him a blow on the right eye.
Mr. LAWS; for the Defendant, Rated, that this
profecution was conduced, not for the purpofes of
public jullice, but for the gratification of private
fpleen and resentment. It had been raid, that the
profecutor was a relpetiable tradefman. No doubt
he' was : but he inulVcontencl, that his client was
equally fo, and his (tory equally entitled to credit
The Defendant lived at Deptford, and being in towel
was requelied by a neighbour to bring down with
him two or three pound of plumbs for a Cnrillmas
pudding. He had been about town all that day ;
was a lutleirf/b, and when he went to buy the plumbs
he did no more than avail himfelf of the common pri.
vilege of a cuftomer. Had the profecutor been le.
rious in charging him with a felnny, he ought to have
done it on the ;Pliant, in place of at the moment
when he was going away. The returns of the De.
fendant to the (hop, were the returns of an honett
man branded with a charge of theft. Betides he
fhould be entitled toss verdia from the Jury, as the I
Plaintiff had firft affaulted him by, the tap on tire
(houlder. The Jury (hould alfo be told, that when
the Defendant was firft taken before Mr. Carpenter
Smith, the Prolecutor charged him with a felony ;
but that the charge was conceived by the Magill rate
to be too trivial, dcourfe it was abandoned, and the
profecutor was bound over to profecute for the af.
fault only.
Mr. Lewes then called Mr. Inglis, who !fated,
that the Defendant was a relpeelable bit-cult baker, at
New Crofs, Deptford. He went to Mr. Friend's (hop
with the Defendant, when they were bt th turned out
by the profeetnpr and his man. A great crowd col-
lated, and they were expofed to the mercy of the
mob. He laid, that he (hould have given bail before
the Magilirate ; but the charge of theft had induced
him not to do fo.

Two other witnefres, who had been paging the
!hop, deferibed the fctitlie, and declared that they raw
the Defendant (truck, in pulping him out cf the
houfc, by the profecutor.
Mr. Serjeant Ciasiow recapitulated the evidence,
and the Jul y found the Defendant—Guilty. He was
then fentenced to be imprifoned one calendar month
in the County jail.

FATAL PIIGILISPC—On Sunday morning a battle 7
was fought in the Jew's Ha:p fields, between Dillon
and Lentnan, journeymen tailors, in the employ of ,
Mr. Stanford, of Carburton.fireet, Mary-Is-Bonne,

LAZY INTELL IGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BUNCH, JULY z 9.
Tint KING V. BKEIT.

The SOLICITOR GENERAL faid, that in conformity
to what had taken place when this cafe was Taft heard
at Wegminfler, it was underflood that Mr. GARROW
fhould name an Attorney to conclud the
defence of this perfon, who Rood charged with per.
jury. They had conftdered of that matter, and were
of opinion that Mr. NEWMAN was a fit perfon for that
purport, of which his Lordfhip approved.
VERB AND OTHERS V. HOWARD.
The Plaintiff; are Bankers, the Defendant an At-
torney. Mr. GARROW Rated this to be an aeion
which the Defendant had in evil hour been advifed

to defaid. One bill of his had become due, of which

be was able only to pay a part, and requeded time
to pay the remainder ; he had that indulgence. Ano-
ther Bill was given, and when that was due, it was
not paid.
This cafe being proved, and it appearing that the
funs now due was 851. Bs. 9d. the Jury gave a vet%
diEt for the Plaintiff for that funs.

JONES B. BRADFORD.

Mr. ERSKINI flatted this to be a cafe of a Bill a-
Exchange fur 98L 3s. drawn on the Defendant, and
finned by a perfon of the name of Hopkins, and ac.
cepted for the Defendant by Hopkins, who was the
' Defendant's partner, and of which the Plaintiff was
the holder for a valuable confideration.
The defence fet up by Mr. Gattextv was, that
Hopkins, the partner of tht Defendant, had been in-
&lced by a perfon of the name of M‘Magan, to go
into partnerfhip with him in the japanning trade ;
Hopkins was an honeft man, but a miferable fcribe,
and Nl.Magan kept his books and drew this Bill, but
they never were in fait in partner(hip, and this
rogue had no more right to ufe the name of Hopkins
than any man whom he never raw.
But Lord ELLENBOROUGH raid, that as the Bill was
draws, in the name of both and accepted, it was
binding on both. He thought that one of the part-
ners having a right to. accept, he had a right to in-
shore the Bill over, fur neither was dune by the De.
fendant. The laft point, although not very doubt-
ful, his Lordhip raved to the Defendant, in order
that he may have the opinion of the Court upon it,
if the parties fhould be fo advifed.
YOIALL V. CN•TER.

Mr. ERSIINR Rated this to be a ferious cafe of an
sirsult, the Plaintiff being Churchwarden and Over-
Peer of the Poor of Allhalrowes, and a taylor by trade.
The Defendant, a perfon of refpedable cireumßances
in the Glafs Trade.
It appeared, that the Plaintiff had called at the
Defendant's houfe, when he was abfenr, and his clerk
paid the poor rates to the Plaintiff. The Defendant
when he heard of it was difpleafed, becaufe he in-
tended to difpute the affeffment as irregular, and the
following day went to the Plaintiff's houfe, and in-
filled on feting the book of the rates, which was
!hewn to him, and the Defendant ohferved, that the
charge was wrong ; that the Plaintiff was paid by a
young clerk ; if the old one had been prefent, he
would have been up to it, upon which high words
arofe—the Defendant thtew the book in the Plaintiff's
face, whn invited the Defendant to kifs his
a part of the perfon which the Defendant threatenac
to kick, Ate. but no further ad of violence took place.
Mr. GARROW obferved that theDcfendant had been
Churchwarden,but had difcontintred the laudable cuf-
tom of having public dinners at the will expence.
Lord ELLINIOROVGN obferved, that this fhould
cot be Rated, unlefs evidence was to be called.
Verdid for the Plaintiff—Damages 4.01.
JULY 10.-WINGYIELD 4. LUKE.

Mr. ERSKINE opened this cafe for the Plaintiff,
which was a claim for falvage. The Plaintiff, by
his conlummate (kill and moll extraordinary exer-
tions, having, with four of his men, faved a veffel,
of which the Defendant is the owner, from fhip.
wreck, on the coati of Suffer, and afterwards brought
her lately into harbour at Eaft Bourn.
It appeared upon the evidence for the Plaintiff that
Lieutenant Hoare, at the fignal honfe at Worthing,
on the t ith of 049ober lag, obferved that the veffel
in queftion was in danger on account of having came
too near the (bore on a neap tide, which was hill
declining, that the would flrike, and would go to
pieces if a gale came on, which was likely, that he
recommended to the Captain to put the Chip under
the care of the Plaintiff and his men, which he did,
and that thereby (he was got off, and taken in tafety
to Eaft Bourn. Lieutenant Hoare wrote up to the
owner in London, gating all the circumflances of the
cafe, for which trouble this Gentleman received
twenty guineas. All the expellees of the Plaintiff and
of his men were defrayed by the Captain at Eaft
Bourn, and the queltion was, how much ought to be
allowed to the Plaintiff for the trouble he had been at
upon this occation, under all the circumftances, he
having authorifed Lieutenant Hoare to flate,which be
by letter, to the cwner of the Chip, Mr. Luke, the
Defendant, that be, the Plaintiff, relied on the gene-
rofity of the owner, and would be content with what
Le thould give him. The Defendant had offered the
P!,tintiff 51. which he refuted to take, but brought his
anion. The Defeniant then paid iol. into Court.
upqn a full examination of all the circumftances
of the cafe, Lord Eci.riusolovon and the Jury were
clearly of opinion, that the Plaintiff ought to have
been tatisfied with the tol. which had been paid into
Court. Lord Ellenhotough obferved, that where
there is perfonal danger attending the exertions of
men to rave a (hip, there ought to be a very liberal al.
lowance, by way of falvage, to the perfons who en-
countered that danger and ttved the (hip ; but if there
WAS to be a per tentage on (hip and cargo,by way of
filvage, in every cafe where the affillance of a perfon
em the cuaft might be requifite, he knew not where
the exaaion would end.
Mr. ERSKINE obferved, that fuch was the notion
f falvage on our coati, that if this very cafe had
gone b.:tore a Magigrate there, the Plaintiff would
have got 4 Or pool.
Lord ELLENROROUGH-....5' In almotl all the cafes
I have teen of falvage allowed by Magigrates on our
coati, the falvage has been exceffive."
Mr. ERSKIt.e laid that in one cafe he recovered for
a client 17co1. tor falvage on an Indiaman.
Lord ELlANsoitoctost—"Where there is great per-
(coal peril, the premium can hardly be too high, but
here there was none, and in a tide or fo the veffel
might have been got into Shoreham. The offer cf

the Defendant afterpaying all erpenees, was liberal,
and the Plaintiff agreed to abide !:ly it." Verdi& for
the Defendilitt.

SCHWIDS% V. JAMSS AND ANOTHER.
Mr. TOPPING Rated this cafe, the circumflances
of which are fhortly thefe—the Defendants are mer-
chants at Liverpool, owners of Blips called the
Mary Stevens and the Altrea' which were fitted out
at Liverpool with Letters of Marque, upon a voy-
age from thence to Gibraltar, thence to Malta,
1 riefte, &c. and back again; upon this voyage they
effesfled a policy of infurance on the veffel and goods,
which policy Contained a claufe with liberty to chafe,
capture, and man—the veffel was captured, and
molt of the Underwiters paid upon their policies upon
produaion of the Protelt and the documents, and
among the ref, the prefent Plaintiff, Mr. Schnider,
paid ; but one of the Underwriters having refilled, it
came for trial, when it appeared, that thefe two vet
fels had gone on a cruizing adventure for prises, in-
Read of a commercial one, which latter alone was un-
derwritten by the Policy ; this was a clear deviation,
and therefore voided. the policy ;1 of this fat the
Plaintiff was ignorant at the time he paid the lofs
upon the policy, and if he had known the fat, he
would not have paid, but would have refitted as
others did fucceffively refill. This aaion was, there-
fore, brought to recover back the money which the
Plaintiff had fo paid, under an ignorance of fad,
which had been held to be a good ground of sreion,
for no man can always guard againtt the etre& of an
ignorance of fat, and it that be a material one to his
defence, and he pays money in ignorance of that fall,
he (ball recover it back again in an afiion for money
had and received to his ufe. Not fo ti he pays money
under an ignorance of the Law, for every man is
bound to snow the law. This was an ignorance of
jab, namely, the deviation, which if the Plaintiff had
known, he would not have paid upon the policy, and,
therefore the a&ion was brought to recover the mo-
ney back again.
In the courfe of the evidence, the Connfel for the
Plaintiff was not able to eftablifh. by proof, that the
Pratt) and other documents were (hewn to him by the
Broker, by which the fits were alledged to have been
mifreprefented to the other underwriters and to him,
and by which he had been unfairly induced to pay,
non hint ; that he did not pay by choice without in-
quiring after the fa.% and if fo, he had waived his ob-
jation to the payment, upon which the Plaintiff was
—Nonfuited.

There were Lye other Cantles depending upon the
fame point, and under the fame circumitances, in
which the Records were withdrawn.

ROBINSON V. TURPIN.
This was an aEtion alto of costfiderable moment to
the mercantile intereft.

The Plaintiff was the confignee of certain goods on
board a Swedifh veffel difcharging its cargo at Black.
wall ; and the Defendant was the lighterman em•
ployed by the Plaintiff to bring the cargo fo con fign-
ed to him from on board the (hip. It appeared that
on the 9th November, 'Rol, the Defendant's lighter
came alongfide of the (hip in queßion, and that the
perfon who had the charge of it ordered zoo barrels
of pitch, configned to the Plaintiff, to be flowed on
board his lighter. He was informed that his order
could not be completed that day, but Mould, on the
next morning, or at fartheß in the courfe of the day,.
The lighterman came down, on the day of the loth,
for another lighter which he had there, at which time
the people of the tbip were in the ad of loading his
lighter with the goods in queftion. The lading was
completed about two o'clock that day; about five
o'clock the tide became flack, when, as they had
been infirnfled by the lighterman, the people belong-
ing to the Chip put the fighter out a-ftern of the chip,
to prevent the preffure of other units, from the turn
of the tide. Between the hours of is o'clock that
night, and r o'clock of the morning of the t ith, the
lighter funk, and of the too barrels of pitch only 75
were recovered. To recover a compenfation for this
lofs was the objth of the prefent action.
The cafe retolved limply into this ; on whom did
the burden of caring for the lighter lie ? On the Ship
Owners, or on the lighterman ?
Mr. SOLICITOR GENIRAL and Mr. PARKE, for the
Plaintiff, adduced feveral witneffes to thew that the
general underftanding had always been, that a per-
fon fhould be left on board the lighter, by its owner,
to take care of her, and to flow the goods. This was
particularly neceffary, where, as in tho prefent in-
Rance, the lighterman was employed, not by the (hit
owner, as was often the cafe, but by the configuee
of the goods.
Mr. ERSKINE, for the Defendant, on the other
hand, adduced a number of witneffes, principally Ship
Owners and Lightermen jointly, to prove that, from
the moment the lighters came alongfide the veffel,
from which they were to carry the goods, from thence
to the period of their complete lading, and, if that
fhould happen at night, to the period of the next
morning's tide, the cuflody and burden of the lighter
lay on the Ship Owners.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL was about to addrefs
the Jury in reply, when
Lord ELL. BOROUGH interrupted him, hy remark-
ing, that no ufage, however general, could avail the
Defendant in this cafe. The ufage, if ufage it was,
of the !hips from on board rif which the lighters were
to convey the goods, taking charge of the lighters,
could only have refulted from the negled of the Pro-
prietors of the latter to leave proper perfons to take
charge of them. In doing fo, they effentially de-
parted from the contrail which they mull be pre.
fumed from the moment their lighter had commenced
taking the goods on board to have undertaken. It
became, from that moment, the duty of the proprietor
of the lighter to look after the goods put on board of
his lighter, and to have a perion conftantly in re:-
dinefs to carry it off when the lading was completed.
No man could be allowed to urge a pradice,- origi-
nating out of his own fault, as one of which he was
to avail himfelf.—The Jury accordingly found for
the Plaintiff to the full extent of his demand.

Wednefday morning Thomas Young, one of the
crew of the Eliz •beth, Greenland Ihip, of Hull, fell
off the jetty at the South end ; and the tide being
out, received confiderable injury. He was taken to
the General Infirmary,and is in a fair way of recovery.
The Scheme of the Lottery to be drawn in Sep-
ember, is allowed to be the ball that has appeared
for many years. It has revived the good old cultcm
of giving money for Blanks, without diminithing
the Capital Prizes.
