COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE :9.

EIFORt HIS HONOUR THIL SIAITIR OF THZ ROLLS.
H urns,' w. Hoots I s.—This was a bill filed againft
the Affignees of the Defendant, an lafolventDebtor,
who, in I Sot, had taken the benefit of the An then '
patted for the relief of debtors. refpeaing the liberty
of their perfons. It happened that the Defendant '
had a brother then living in Ireland, who fince died,
leaving confiderable property to the Defendant by his
will. The queltion for the Court was, whether the
future effeas of the infolvent were liable to the claims
of his creditors under that at It appears, that the
3d feetion of that at did not extend to future ac-
quired property. unlefs it could be made fo to extend
to loch future acquired property by reference to pre-
vious MU of Infolvency ; this Aa having been cu-
riously worded, as his Honour obferved, and being
analagous to the Lords' AEI only, although in general
fuch Ads had made mention of future property.
It was contended, on one fide, that this was a cafe
like that decided by Lord Hardwicke, in which he
held, that the Creditors of a Bankrupt, under his firft
Bankruptcy, should not be admitted to claim their
debts under a fecond aft of Bankruptcy, which took
place t 8 years after the firft Bankruptcy. on the
ground that the Affignees had tottered the Bankrupt
fo long to trade, and to acquire a fortune.
On the other hand, it was argued, that no loch
!ache: coined in this cafe, as the Infolvent was in pri•
fon in London, in tEto 1, and had only glace that
period acquired a property by the death of a relative.
The Creditors are anxious to be let into an ac-
count of the property lately acquired, and to be paid
their demands, but the Al of Parliament being in
that refpea defeaive, a great difficulty thence mires
Mr. Ric is ARDS obtained leave to renew the butinefs
to-morrow, after he (liquid read the Mt more clofely.

HUNT V. SIR JOSEPH ANDREWS.
In this cafe, Mrs. Hunt, and her hufband, Mr.
Charles Henry Hunt, filed their bill againtt the defen
dant, Sir Jofeph Andrews, and others, Trances under
their marriage.fettlement, dated in 1791, by which,
in confederation of a turn of 60001. to the hufband,
in hand, paid, he covenanted to fettle certain lands,
in titia fettlement, to his own ufe for life, in the firll
place, and next, to the ufe of his wife, for life, with.
out providing for, or mentioning any thing about
their expelled Ate; the hatband refervedtohimfelf the
power of revoking this firtt fettlement, and fettling
other lands, which he has fince purchafed ; the wife
contented to accept 30001. in lieu of the provifion the
had under the firlt fettlement ; the hufband pur.
chafed land, and borrowed of Meffrs. Devaynes and
Co. a fum of 25001. which wasfecured by a mortgage
on the wife's property. The Bill prayed, that the
' mortgage fhould be releafed, on the ground, that
the property was for the tole and feparate ufe of the
wife, independent of her coverture, and not fubjee
to her hufband's liens or contracts; and on the fame
grounds it was prayed, and granted, by motion,
that the should be feparately examined, contrary to
the commonly received notion, that a wife cannot be
examined for or againa the rights of her hufband,
in a civil Nit, nor in criminal faits, except for high
treafon. The hufband has failed, and the mode of
examining the wife in this cafe is by a commitGon,
to be executed in the county where the is ; but no
decree could be granted for her examination, as no
examination of hers appeared before the Court, nor
Any writing under her hand, anthorifing her Trullees
to fell or mortgage the lands which were fettl:d to
her ate for life.
His Honour limed, that this matte: Idled en irely
on the fa& of the 2,5001. being her foie and feparate
property, in which cafe the was competent to pr
the tranfadtione.—Motion granted.

COONS OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE'S.
PATOIS V. LISTO4.
This ans s an action brought by the Plaintiff', an
attorney, to recover from *Defendant, a gentleman
in Somerfetfttire, his pioportion of the expencerf Co-
liciting in Parliament a bill to inclofe a common, of
which he, along with others, was partly proprietor.
The original petition to Parliament was figned by all
the parties concerned, andthe Defendant, among ft the.
reft, fo far back as ,Boz, but the bill itfelf was loft.
The Defendant did not conceive that he had rendered
himfelf liable to any perfonal expellees by his figna-
ture, but that it was to he defrayed by the Pale of
part of the commonable lands. Another Bill was
propofed to be prefented, two years afterwards, but
to that he never gave his confent. It appeared that
there were in all thirty rights to the common, that
Mr. Payne himfelf was p. affect f fourteen of them,
and had recovered the proportion of expenfes for
twelve other fhares, at 161. each, but had never, till
now, brought forward his claim againft Mr. Litton.
The LEARNED JUDGE was of opinion, that. the fig-
nature to a petition to Parliament, rendered the per.
Con fo fig:ling it liable to a propottion of the expenfe.
Verdia for the Plaintiff, sot.

SPARROW O. SMITH.

This was an altion to recover the fum of 31. ti.
dut to the Plaintiff, who kept a public.houfe in King.
fireet, Wellminfier, by a Captain Smith, for lodging
and entertainment to five foldiers, for nearly three
weck4.—No defence bting made, a vcrdiet was given
for the Plaintiff.

anss v. POIDVINE.
This was an aetion for an affault and falle im-
prifonment. The Plaintiff was a young man, a
clerk to a Mr. Steventen, an attorney, and the De-
fendant a tailor, in Mortimerßreet, Cavendifh-fquare.
A lady, of the name of Dennet, owed fome money
to the Defendant, and being in embarraffed circum-
fiances, (he employed this young attorney to endea-
vour to prevail upon her creditor to indulge her, by
lowering hia demand, and put an end to a difpute
which exißed between them. In compliance with his
duty to his fair Client, Mr. Role proceeded to the
houfe of the Defendant, on the evening of the 9th of
March laR, accompanied by a gentleman of the name
of Humphries, an auctioneer; and, upon reprefenting
the lady's incapacity to pay, and Rating that, under
all exitting circumftances, he thought he (Mr. Poid-
vine) (hould not be fo hard, fome high words caned,
the tailor grew very choleric, and proceeded to collar
Mr. Rcfe, and to put bim out of his houfe.
Mr. Humphries, the perfon who had accompanied
Rofe, Rated, that he was within hearing of the parties,
during their whole conterfation, and that the Plain-
tiff never gave any provocation to occafi-n this out-
rage ; that Mr. Poidvine, not fatisfied with having
turned them both out of his houfe, came out, when
they were (Landing on the pavement, and gave Role
in charge to a Watchman, who carried him to the
Watch•heufe : but the Conftable of the night, per-
ceiving no caufe for fuch imprifonment, releafed the
Plaintiff, after half an hour's inveftigation.
The conftable and watchman corroborated this
teßimony ; but four other witnefFes coincided in de-
poling, that various provoking expreffions paffed on
the part of the plaintiff, at the ti ne of the affault,
fuch as calling the defendant, in the pretence of his
wife and family, " a fcaly humbug, who had bilked
the lady, and was afterwards Cuing her for a debt."
When the defendant endeavoured to put him our,
Rofe laid'" What, (hall I be turned out by a fnip—
the ninth part of a man l"—And, on their way to
the watch-houfe, he threatened to give the tailor a
beating. On being afked to give his addrefs, he
gave the card of Mr. Steventen, his matter, and
afterwards Rated to a whites, that the tailor would
be bringing an aelion againft Steventen, which would
fubjeet Poidvine to Sol. damages.
Under thefe circumßan.res, the Jury found a Ver-
di& for the defendant.
JUNI 19.....TH0P41130N O. PARISH.
This was an a&ion upon a Policy of Infurance
upon goods (hipped by Meffrs. Thompfon and Co.
wine merchants, in Oporto, on board the Admiral
Nelfon, bound from that port to London.
This cattle was formerly tried, and a verdiet riven
in favour of the Plaintiff, againit the Underwriters ;
but as it was one which was likely to affesft a great
many Policies upon the fame Chip, and was therefore
of confiderable importance to the various Under-
writers concerned, a new trial was obtained, upon
the footing that additional evidence could be pro-
cured by examination of the feamen abroad. The
aelion was only for the turn of. 911. Some of the
Underwriters being convinced that no impropriety
of cnnduet had exifted on the part of the Captain and
Owners, had acquicfced in the jullice of the claims
brought againfl them. Others, however, alledged,
that the [hip was not feaworthy when the fet tail,
the having fptung a leak loon after the had gone out
of port, in the year 1803, while under the convoy of
'Aigle frigate.

JACOBS V. SAUNDERS.
This was an ration to recover the value of a 301.
Bank of England Note, paid by the plaintiff to the
defendant, in part, for a quantity of dry falmon, to
the amount of 701. purchafed of him, no part of which
bad been delivered; the defendant having refufed to
repay the 301. on a plea that he had been refufed
payment of the Note at the Bank of England, in
confequence of directions left there to flop the Note,
if offered, as it had been Rohn in July la*, from a
Mr. Weir, in palling through Cocktpur-ftreet.
On the pact of the defendant, there fads were ad-
mitted : but Mr. Serjeant SHMARD argued, that as
the defendant had received no value for the Note,
and as it was flopped at the Bank, as a Note that
had been Role°. it was neither jut nor legal that he
fhould be at the lofs ; and whatever right of adios
the plaintiff might have again* the Bank of Eng-
land. or again* the perfon from whom he had taken
the Note, he could have none again* the defendant.
In this opinion Sir jamas MANSFIILD agreed, and
was of opinion the Bank of England had no legal
right to refufe the payment of their own Notes ; nor
was it their province to detain them from the 'salons
offering them for payment. Such a right, on their
parts, would tend to oberuit materially the commer-
cial intercourfe of the country, when the Notes of the
Bank of England were to univerfally fubtlitnted for
calls : and how was every man bound to know, or in
every cafe to inquire, whether thole Notes, puffing to
him in the fair and ordinary comic of his bafinefs, we c
or were not honetlly come by It was his Lordihip's
opinion. that an Retina would lie again* the Bank.
The lay found a verdict for the deign Lint.

Td day, Alexander slime was examined a fecond
tim4 at Guildhall, when his lifter attended, and
difclofed.the, following particulars refpdting her un•
fortunate relative:—" My brother h a tingle man,
and formerly kept a tnbacccnift's fhop in Glafgow.
On the "nth of January la% he accompanied me to
London; but before that period he was confined, not
being confidered by the Magiiirates as a proper per-
fon to beat large, as he had evinced fymptoms
of
derangement, by purchafing pittolc, and demanding
fatisfallion from a gentleman he fcarcely knew, and
:who never offended him. He was liberated at my
sequel, and I promifed that proper care fimu'd be
taken of him. I have in my poffeffion his•difcharge,
bat forgot to bring it with me. I never confidered
him perfeely right in his fences; but. as he was not
prone to meirchief, I thought I had foffitient influence
to prevent his committing any. Since his arrival in
London, his general• behaviour has been placid, ez
cept on one occafion, when I refufed to .furnills him
with more money than I deemed proper, having a
few days before given him a one pound ni te. lam
inclined to thinkhe purchafed the pinol with the
note. as from that time he, kept his.trunk kicked, to
prevent my having .accefs to it; but, on my infißing
that the trunk ,fhould be opened,. on the toll/ming.
morning he complied with .my teepee, and I exa
mined its contents, but did not find any &tulle wea
pots concealed therein ; nor did I know that he had,
at anytime, a pith)) concealed about his perfoa."
The Maginrate.—•" The prifoner told. me yefter.
day, that yra knew his intentions, and that you were
the mull proper perfon to relate them."
The prifi.ner's fifier.-16 I could. nest know what
be meant to do with the Ord, buses I did not'
know he had one. Finding him armlets, I Coffered
bibs to walk about the &tea to amufe himfelf, for
the purpofe of driving away a melancholy gloom
which hung about him; but he always returned'
with.mt the walk having the withed for effeti."
On the Magitirate alking if the cireumßances of
tire ptifoner were fuch as to enable his friends to en-
rage, if the. law furrendered him to them, that he
Mould not be fuffered to appear at large again, he
.wayinformedc. that the psifoner', property was very
fmall, and that his filler was the only relation he had
that could in the leaß render him any aflillance..-•
'rho prifoner was a&ed where he bought the
powder. and ball, and for what purpofe ? He faid,.
at a (top near Weßnsinller bridge, to fettle a chrome
with a.gentleman.at Glafgow but, being urged to
atc-unt for firing the pilot in the ltreet, and wound-
ing a lady. he did. not even know, he teemed con.
fufed, and his countenance indicated a vacancy not
before obferved, evidently occafioned by the quef
tion, and which silibly agitated his mind during the
time he was at the btr. .
The Magid' ate faid, though he was convinced of
the infanity of the prifoner, and that he was not in•
ligated to the firing of the plaid by malice,he thowght
it his duty to commit him for trial; becaule the saw
in that cafe would take care that a proper place
fhould be allotted to him ; and thereby a repetition
of a fimilar ~et would be prevented ; but as the fate
of the unfortunate lady cannot b.: accurately afcer
tained,thc pricolwr was ordered to be brought up again
in ten days.
