LAW INTRWINUICE.
. -
COURT OP XING%
• THlCltilftrvi MI AS. .*
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved.. for a Rule .to.i
shew cause whilhe Verdict iothis case should notbe
set asisle, anti* new trial' ordered. The facts of the
case were<simily these:--James Law,- and Seok his
son in-law; with several others residing in thrneigh-
tbourhood of Scarborough, in Yee kslitre, were prose-
-tined in the Court of Exchequer, for having been
engaged in a smuggling transaction on the coast in
-that quarter.. Several witnesses were called, who
stated that Law was seen about the spot where the
contraband goods were deposited, on the night in
question. William Mead, in particular, one of thr
witnesses, swore that he saw him there. fu. the Sit-
tings after last Term, at Westminster, William Mead
was indicted for perjury, at the, prosecution of I.:Aw:
and, after a trial which lasted several hours. was
found guilty by the Jury. The Learned Oentletnan
now moved for a new trial, on the ground that the
former verdict was contrary to evidence.
The LORD CHIEF JustacE read in detail the notes
of the trial.
The Sottmon•GanzaAt. then entered at length
into the examinations of the evidence given by Law
in the trial of the defendant. The whole question
was, whether or not Law was at thrSalt-pans, the
place near the coast to which the goods had been re-
moved?—He endeavoured to shew that the-account
which Law gave of himself, on the night in.question,
was improbable. He reminded the Court that Scott's
account of himself was contradicted on the tiial, by
two witnesses of unimpeachable character. One of
the witnesses for the defence stated, that on the night
in question he•bought several tubs of spirits from
Law. It was further sworn, that Law endeavoured
to have a charge hatched up against Mad, in order,
as he thought, to disgrace him as a witness. Tile
Learned Gentleman said he had an affidavit to con-
tradict a material part of Law and llogg's evidence.
Law stated on the trial, that on the night when he
was stated by Mead to have been at .the Salt-pans,
he had been engaged in loading a waggon with wool;
that he went with it to Pickering, and that he had
then proceeded to Hambly Wood. He had an affi-
davit from a man who was constantly there, to spew
'that Law had not been at Hambly Wood for a week
previous to the time he had mentioned in his evi- '
dence ; he had also the affidavit of a man, who stated
that he saw Law at Pickering, and that he (Law) told
him that he had been at a run the night before.
The Cuzar iv:vim—We think .you have stated
enough to entitle you to a Rule.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL expressed a hope. that
the defendant would be admitted to bail, as they were
ready to give bail to any amount.
The Cuter JusTice.—llo you make any objection,
Mr. Jones ?
Mr. Jorits.—l.thinki my Lord, it is better not to
object,,st I am on the-part of the Crown.
The Cater Jusuct.—l think you are right. Let
the defendant be admitted to bail, himself in 5001.
and two sureties in-2501 each.

Mr. Joxas hoped that their Lordships would di-
rect the parties to give notice of bail.
The Cam JUSTiCL—You are entitled to twenty-
four hours notice.

The defendant left the Court in the :ustody of the
Marshal of the Court.

WILKE V. ORARAM.
This was an action on a promissory note for .4401.
of which the plaintiff *as indorsee. The Jury found
a verdict for.the plaintiff.
Mr.
.Curtre moved' to enter a nonsuit, on the
ground that the bill, which had been drawn in Scot-
land, was not recoverable in England, under the Sta-
tute of the third of Queen Anne. The. Learned Coun-
sel contended, that the plaintiff, by that Act, could
only recover upon promissory notes and bills of et-.
change drawn in England.
-The LORD CkfIED Auract asked if there was any
thing in those Statutes which confined actions to
notes made in England? Many actions were brought
upon bills made in France. -
Mr.-Justice floutorn.—:The objett of the Statute
was to put alt promissory notes on a footing with in-
land bills of exchange. •
Mr. Crum said tome doubts had arisen upon the
point he had brought before the Court, and it was
important it should be settled.
Judge lisir.-After a practice lull beenlong esta-
blished,. it it important it-should not be unsettled.
Thi Liptak Cider ilisttes:-;-1 do not find the Sta-
tute of Anne is confined to notes made iu England;
and therefore I do not see why it should now have
that narrow scope,
Judge Ram—This is a remedial Act for the bene-.
fit of trade, and should receive the largest possible
construction. There is nothing to make the Scotch
promissory 'rant differ from bills made in England.
The Rule was refused.

Sunday sennight, two brothers, of the name of
Walne, went to shoot birds near to the reservoir, in

house door, through some mischievous boys throwing
snow-bolls.
