eOVIC7 OF CHANICARY, JULY 26.
vaiutteasoss u. wat.stinaLs.
The Plaintiff sled a bill for the purpofe of having a
deed which he had executed let slide on the following
cafe ; He is a fiirgeon and apothecary, and his wife
was a tea dealer, and was a fnlc trader, according to
the elution of London, that is, carrying on trade in
which her Ilan old had no controul. It was agreed
between them that he thould retire orlon a fpecolatinn
of carrying on his bufulef, of an apothecary, and put-
. foe his profeffinn as a fu-germ at Yarmouth, and fe-
parare ft-,m his family ; for that purple lie executed
the deed in qnellion, by which he conveyed to a truf.
tee a certain Ipecifi: portion av his property in his
bottle in London, Etc. in true, to the rife of his wife.
But not finding his fcheme anfivet his willies, he was
&limns of reclaiming the property lie had thus
given up by deed, and filed the prtfetit bill, praying
to have the deed let elide, on the pound that arts
hail been praflifed upon his mind, which was not
[mud whets he executed it.
But, on reading the depofitions in the cattle, it ap-
prised that this deed had been prepar ed hr an eminent
Solicitor ill the City, who &clamd he believed there
WAS no foundation fur thii complaint ; that the deed
Was duly executed, and that he would not haw been
concerned in the hulinefs if it was not, to his fatisfine
lion, pc/Italy fair and honourable.
The Loco Ca ancaLtria, after a full hearing of the
*Nile are, übferved, that full credit was due to the
ffolicitoi's teitirnony, whom he knew to be a man of
reefed integrity and honotm. There was no pretence
for letting slide this totem inflrument of conveyance)
and, by way of example to unfounded applications of,
this kind, his Lordfhip dils:dad this bill with colts.
MASON v. •ILWITiCII.
This was a bill to enforce the completion of a cone
trail nnder the following circumliances An eftwat
belonging to the defendant, in the county of Norfolk,
*as was put up to amnion in the city of Norwich t
the plaintiff was among the bidders, and when he of
fered flatol. the hammer went down, and his name
was air ut to be entered as the highell bidder, when
the defendant immediat-ly interpofed, flopped the
hand of the aulioneer, and the name was not entered,
but the file was difeontintied. The defendant laid,
that if had been knocked down by lattice ; that he
had diretned Mr. Rifing to safe the price as high as
hint thoufand pounds, bat by fame millake he had
initiated to puff it with fufficient frith. The quef
been was, whether this was fueh a fate as would he
enforced in a Court of Eepity, or whether under the
ti tote of ast Car. 2. commonly called the Statute of
esti& it was invalid ?
Megs.PIIRCIVaL and Cone. on the part of the
fiaintiff, contenoed, that the moment the hammer
-Went down the Plaintiff became the buyer ; and the
tik *As of Simon and Mnritevois,.Mortlock and Fuller,
end Whitehurch and Bevis, were confidered, and par!
lieularly the opinions of Lord Maw svt LLD, Mr. il‘j
tice Witsots, and Mr. plaice YATtll, as detailed ht
the former ; and in addition to there. a fingular eats
.in Latdes Reports, palm It, on the general plincipla
applicable to the ennartipon of our natlate laws. 1
•. Wise Sotaciroa Corataat., and Meffrs. Coitills,
Moat, and Foastasione, refitted the Cale on three
lounds. Firft, that was fraudulent ; fecondly,
Isar it was within the 29 Car. a.: and thirdly,
Ant there was no memorandum in writing between
the parties to bind the contract. The two tall prom-
. Minns were nearly conflated with bath other. They
alfo commented on the various cafes that had been'
&defaced, not only mulling that the Plaintiff had no
hirel claim. but alfo that he had no equitable demand
itteshich the Court of Chancery, according to its ac-
J;anwledged praEtice, would foppevt.
. The Loan Cualicat.t.oa.—" 'fire vino I take of!
the cafe does not render it neceffary to include in
she confideration of it the confiruffion of the 112-
fote of Frauds ; and I am the more pleated at thini
'eirenmaance, lsocaure there is a cafe under appeal'
"at- will involve the important doBrine which be-
inns to that lubjelf t but this I mull fay, becaufel
1 ar's bound by my duty to my country to declare
,ply fentiments, that 1 (ball never be of opinion, in
the abflraa. that fates by auction are not within
the Statute."—( His Lordfhip then commented on
the cafe of. Simon and Muntevois, paying the high-
eft compliments to the Judges who decided in
that cafe. He then proceeded.) "Certainly files
by anaion were mnch lefs common in the time of
Charles the 11. than they are in our own days,
when the country has become fu flourilhing in corna
merce, but the complicated interells of man have in-
troduced iiew modes of transfer, fo that the Statute
of Frauds, ct mplied with in the letter, would expnfe
us fo many difficulties. But if there he new modifi-
er; •ns of fociety, the Path:anent is daily fitting, and
legiflaw regulations may be recommended, lusted to
the new relations of property. Atkin; me, what is
any npininn of auctions in general, is like alking me
what I think of things in general; it is In wide and
comprehenfive an inquiry, that it would be mnft nn-
rtafonable to exthift a ebmplete and fatisfaCtory an-
liver. Some liberty has been taken in the explanation
of the pi inciplri by which flames fhould be win-
flrutd, yet the rule is precire and clear : the enafling
words are what y,,,u ought to look to; but if doubts
occur in the int,rpretation of there. the preamble,
which explains tht intent; in of the Legiflature, will
leerniently fupply you with light to remove the obfeu
city. It is true, that fume latitude has been taken in
. setlrzinitT,, or enlary,ing the meaning of the enalling
w,rds, and perhaps, nn ad has been treated with more
fre..dom in this refired than the Statute of Limits
tions. This Legillative regulation is manifeitly con.
trended by the decifions of Learned Judges upon it,
and when you get out of the Ilant.e, you cannot at
all tell whither you may wander. Judges have
always lamented this devittinn, and when they quote
former authorities in jullificatii . of it, you find
they alfo quote from Judges alto all.) lamented,
and no one knows when this lamentation com-
menced; but, at 'call, we are apprifed, that it is a
ferinus master of lamentation, that any viola,iun
fhnuld be admitted of the written law of the land.
t's' hat is the doett ine P A claimant lays, ' You know
you have not paid me.'—No, nor have I caned you,
but I will, if-you follow ire.'—This language has
been held to.be a promile, although it is, in lad, a
determination not to prornife, and this is loppolcd to
fitisfy the Statute of limitations. if inch licence be
l
11.1uti,taci, who is to know what the Law of Lligland

will become in another age ? In a ()tort time, the Sta.
lutes, and precedents ineonlittent with them, win be-
come to voluminous, that the utmoll induliry of hu-
man being will be ineffenual; the brighten talents will
fend firth their rays through the wall wilJernets in
'vain, and the great objeat of public inilitution will be
utterly difappointed."—(After tome farther general
obfervations, which his Lorathip referred to the par-
titular cafe befrue the Cf urt, he added) " It is ob-
vious, that in this tale tome millake was committed;
and the queifion i., whether the Court will interfere
to give to the Plaintiff the advantage retuning from
fuch a millake. Both in the cafe of Underwood and
Hitchcock, and in Joynes and Statham, the d-erine
is clear, from the language of Lord Hard wicke, that
the Court will not lend itfelf to give effect to Inch a
millske, and the fame is laid down, mat triainalfs
by Lord Chancellor Parker. If, notwithltanding what
I have laid, the plaintiff thinks he has a cafe which
the Statn;e of Frauds will not meet me in, he is not
injtered by my decilion, the law is open to him, and
all I fay is, that in a cafe of this kind, a Court of
1 Equity 'Minot give him any WEI/atm.—Vl dilinigyl

POLICE, &r.

Monday, Mr. Baker and Mr. Blake, two medical
gentlemen. were brought before the Sitting Magi.
Itrate, at Marlborough-firm, charged with com-
mitting a violent affault on Mr. Henry Atkinfon, fon
of Dr. Atkinfon, of Oxford-tirect.—lt appeared that
Dr. Atkinfon having gone to vifit a patient at Wal.
worth,hisgig and horfe, on hisretutn,about ten o'clock%
at night, ((nod oppofite his door. The Prhonert,
with fume others, were patting at the time, and one
of them Renck the horfe two- or three times with a
(tick, and obliged him to gallop off with the gig.
On hearing the hone move, Mr. Henry Atkinfon
came oot,-and feized hold of Mr. Baker, who in
Raptly (truck bim ; Mr. Blake alfo (truck him, and
endeavoured to reaue Mr. Baker; but forte other
perking coming up, the Prifoners were fecured.—
llnaor Atkinfon informed the Magillrate, that Tome
time fine a fimilar circumnance occurred to him,
by which a gig he had, value feventy guineas, was
broken to pieces, and his horfe very much injured.
—The pilfoners having nothing to fay in their defence
the Magiflrate faid, It as an offence of the molt
ttiious nature, as, if the horfe had not been hopped,
be, perhaps, might have been the caufe of tome per.
lons' death, by running over them; far which, of
routfe, the perfon who had fet him in motion, would
have been anfwerable. The prifoners alfo being medi
teal wove/ere confiderably more to Warne, and fhould
not only find bail to anfwer to the prefent charge;
but Ihnuld alfo be indicted for a confpirtcy to injure
Doane Atkinfon, by depriving him of the means of
rifting bis patients.
T. 11.14 Colleaer of StampoQiceTickets at Hyde
Park corner turnpike-gate; was yellerday charged at
the abnceOffice with extorting 35. rid. from coach-
man in the employ of Mr. Fox. of Turnmilkitreet•
Clerkenwell. The profecutor was driving a leafs.
coach, and delivered a ticket to the defendant, when
be claimed 3s. 6d for the honks, alledging that the
ticket was not a legal one. The man, after being
detainedfor a quarter of an hour, was compelled to
(Ohmic to the impofition, and was then fuffered to
proceed. The defendant alledged in mute, that he
was merely doing his duty, and that he did not ap-
propriate the money to his own tile. This Mr. Fox
contradiaed, having applied at the Stamp Office,
where the money had not been accounted for. The
Magitlrate recommended the cafe to Pe referred to
the Seffians, and accordingly ordered the prifunir to
find bail.
At the Mention Houle, yeflerday, a cabinet Puler.
in a refpeitable line of bufinefs in Whitechapel, and
his wife, underwent a long private examinatiop be-
fore the Lord Mayor, upon a charge brought againtt
them by the Para Officers, of nerving, and other-
wife cruelly treating, three of their female children by
a krmer marriage of the hufband. The childrea, we
underhand, on being interrogated upon oath, raid
they had been well treated, though they "had told the
Parini Officers a quite different Rory ; but feverst
other avitnelfes were examined, who (wore the eon.
Crary, and that the children had repeatedly complain.
ed to perfons in the neighbourhood, that they wear
flawed, and entreated for food, efpecially the olden,
who is a girl eighteen years old, and who bad got out
one morning at three o'clock, and begged molt ear•
nettly for fomenting to eat,. The Lord Mayor gave
the elden girl into the care of the Patina Officer?, and
the parents are to undergo a fecond examination on
a future day. All Whitechapel was in an,uproar on
Sunday, when this hulloes was felt difclofed.
BUItYlNei or GOLD.—It will be recolleaed that an
account recently appeared of Mr. V/iggett, a btu(b.
maker in Drury-lJne, having buried in his cellar tool.
in half guineas and (even (billing pieces, and thnt moon
I, °king for it, Mr.W.difeovet ed that all his money was
gone. The fecond examination of this mvfleriousiffair
occurred yetlerday in Bow ttrcet,before N. Boso, Efq.
His foreman (the prifoner) IfJlias, Rowe, had left
him in the month of March, without affigning any
eagle, and he tuvlerflond that he had rime ;mauled
a qunntity of timber amounting to 431. the principal
part of which he had paid (or in half-guineas and
leven-fhilling pieces. The perfon who had recom-
mended to him the prifner, a Mr. Collyer, had lately
called upon him, and propnfed, that if Howe would
rellore what remained cif the money, he Ibould ant
he profecated„ but to which Mr.Wiggett by no mans
affented.
Mr. Collyer Paid that he was not infligited either
by the prifoner, his wife, relatives, or any perfon
whomfoever, to make the above propofition, but that
he did it folely from the impulte of
Mr. Magra, timber•merchent at Limehotife, re-
membered felling 431. worth of paling, for which a
depolit of al. was matte, and the principal part of thy
remainder was paid in half-guineas and leverrailling
pieces.—Alter conliderable hesitation, he declared
upon oath that he believed the prifiiner to have been
the purehafer —The prifoner was fully committed
for trial, and the lefpeCtive parties bound over to
profecute.
