to be bad, that called the Defendant Henry Xing,
otherwife Henry Vaughan King..
Lord ELLENBOttOUGH laid, it muft neceffarily
appear that this could not by any poilibilitt be the
man's name. Now, who can fay that a father
might not have his child- chriftened by the clan*
of Jonathan, otherwife John ? Titers actually
were names much more fanciful. lie Ihould not
objet to the cafe in Willes, as the Defendant's fur-
name was there repeated twice. Here the phrafe
was Jonathan, otherwife John Soames—not Jona-
than Soames, otherwife John Soames.—Judgment
for the Plaintiff.

CARTER b. BOND.
This was an aaion on a bond. The Defendant
craved oyer of the condition ; and it appeared. to
be, that the Defendant, a member of the Maritime
Friendly Society, (Mould every dub night receive
the box, holding the Society's money, after It had
been locked by the Rewards, fhould keep it faith-
fully, and thotild return it the next dub night,
locked, As when put into his hands.
The Defendant pleaded, i. Nen 0 fawn: In
the four next counts, that the fociety is eftablithed
under the 33d of Geo. 111. cap. 34. by which it is
enaaed, that when the direaoreof there focieties go
out of office, money,, bills, and every thing tranf-
ferable, than he made over to their fucceffors ;
that at a meeting regularly held, Carter was re-
moved from being one of the Rewards, and be
(the Defendant) appointed in his room, and that
till that he had fully performed the condition of
the bond. In the fixth count he pleaded, that the
box was once delivered to him unlocked by the
Rewards ; that he did not know that it was un-
locked, and• that if any money was ever loft from
it, it was on that occafion. There was a general
demurrer.
Mr.• DAMPIER was going on to (hew that the
2d, 3d, 4th, and sth pleas were bad as a bond, be-
ing a chofe iK alien, was not transferable, and that
the abfurdity might follow of a man fuing upon
hi's own bond ; when
LOrd ELLENBOROUGM afked him what he had
to fay to the left, fuppofing the former pleas to be
bad ?
Mr. DAMPIER faid, this would have been a good
anfwer if he had been charged with refuting to ac-
cept of the box, as he had bound himfelf only to
receive it when locked. But he had accepted it ;
and a lofs having happened, he could not thus ex-
cure himfelf. There would be the greateft dan-
ger to thefe focieties if, upon an aaion being brought
agaitift the box keeper, he could fay that -five years
before he had received the box unlocked from the
Rewards. At a great diftance of time it would
be impoffible to adduce evidence to difprove this
agreement.
The Court raid that the box being locked was a
condition precedent. An anion on the cafe might
be brought if the Defendant had negligently loft
the money, even when the box was open, but he
could not be fued upon the bond. The fociety
might take iffue upon the point whether the box
was loft, and if it was faid that this happened five
years ago, the Jury would be warranted in fur-
peaing that the defence was a fabrication.
The demurrer was over-ruled, but the Plain-
tiff had leave to amend upon payment of colts,

At Halifax fair on Saturday fe'nnight there was
an indifferent (hew of cattle ; good faddle honks
fold high, and were quickly bought up ; there did
not appear to be the fame demand for draught
horfes, which were moffly of an inferior defc rip-
tion. There was a good Phew of pigs, which, to-
wards the evening, declined in price. At Leeds
fair on Monday fe'nnight there was a thin (hew of
cattle, which met with a quick fale, and fetched
good prices ; but at Wakefield, on the Wednefday
following, in confequence of the market being well
Rocked, both beafts and (beep were lower.
