there was no firing of cannons, or other tumultuous
demoralrations of joy—which was attributed to the
populace having, with one alfent, checked their zeal,
by a recolleCtion that the illufttious Lady of the

COPPER TR/Inf.—The confumers of this Metal
are cautioned againit entering into agreements for
large quantities, at the preterit exorbitant price, as
there is good reafon to believe that Government will,
early in the next Seflion of Parliament, adopt mea.
Cures for counteraaing the unjullifiable combination,
that is now fo•ming by fume Miners (in aid of that
already exilling among forme Copper Companies), for
the purpofe of keeping up :he price. This laudable
interference of Government, co-operating with the
principle upon which two new Copper Companies
(•he Union and the Piiceaix), are about to be ella-
biithed. under the atifpices of two intelligent and re-
fpeftable individuals, cannot fail to reduce the price
in a very confiderable degree. The Confumers,
ttierefore, arc advifed not to order a ton of copper
beyond their immediate wants, and to fupport by
their Subferiptions the two new Copper C•mpatiies
which are now in a Rate of organization in London,
under the management of Mr. JOHN SWAN and hit.

LAW IN7I :LICENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BliNeil, NOVEMBER 9.
DUOS O. ELLISON AND OTHERS.
This was au anion for falfeimprifonment. and had
been tried the lad aflizes fur Ynrk.
Mr. Serjeant Cocet zi.. ap{ for for a Rale to fet
afide the verdift of 2001. obtained by the Plaintiff,
and that a new trial flipuld be had, upon two grounds.
Fira, the incompetence of a Juror, and fecondly, on
the grounds of exceffive damages.
It appeared, upon the affidavit, that one Jnhn
Mangle had been (worn upon the Jury, who, upon
inquiry, it was difcovered, was not a freeholder of
that county, but the Con of a man of the fame name,
who was a freeholder, and regularly fummoned ;
but, not choofing to attend himfelf, fent this young
Irian in his place ; and, anfwering to the fame name,
he was fa orn upon the Jury, and ailed for tome time
in that capacity, before the conflable, who ferved the
fummone, difcovered the miltake. It farther ap.
pealed, that he was only in his one and twentieth
year, which was a further incompetency. In fup-
port of this obieftion, the Learned Serjeant cited the
cafe of Norman and Beauman, in Will's Reports, and
feveral oil-er apprept iate cafes.
Mr. 'attire LE BLANC afked how many mill's had
been tried by the fame Jury, on that day ? as they
all molt be in the fame predicament.
Mr. PARK anfwered, that it was on the following
morning the incompetency of John Mangle was dif-
covered.
Mr. Setjeant COCKELL contended, thht the fecond
grounds, namely, of exceffive damages, was Rill 1
ftronger. The Plaintiff, in this cafe, James Dixon,
Efq. was a Colonel in the EAR India Company's fer-
vice, and a native of Scotland. One of the Defen-
dants, Mr. Crothers, having a writ againft a perfon
of the fame name, was informed by Mr. Allen, an
a.iorney, another Defendant, that a gentleman of
that name had lately arrived at Harrowgate, from
the North. Crothers, accordingly, tent down a
writ from London, with a minute defcription of the
Defendant, which exactly correfponded with Colonel
Dixon's perfon. Mr. Allen, accordingly waited on
him, and, telling his bufinefs, afked his name,
which the latter told him, and Paid he was not the
perfon ; but refufed to give him any further fatisfac-
tion ; threatening to kick him out cf doors. Mr.
Allen retired, and being thus infulted, he had the Co
lonel arrefled Coon after ; he again raid, he was not
the perfon, but perafted in his refufal to ;rawer fur-
ther interrogatories. The Sheriff finding it a very
peculiar care, the debt being confiderabk, and the
defcription anfwering fo exactly in every particular,
obliged the Colonel to give bail before he was en-
larged, which was done a very fbort time after the
arrelt. Upon there grounds the Learned Serjeant
fought a new trial.
Court—" Take a Role to thew caufe on the lad
grounds."
THE KING V. ALLEN, HUGHES, aaanr, AND OTHERS.
This was an information filed by the Attorney Go-
neral, against fix Defendants, for a riot at the late
election for the Borough of Knarefborongh, in tBo4.
The three Defendants, Allen, Hughes, and Abbot,
had been convicted, and the other three were ac-
quitted.
Mr. Serjeant HEYWOOD, on behalf of Allen and
Hughes, moved to fet affile the convittion, as againff
these two perfons, and for a new trial, upon the
grounds that there perfons were in a different place
from that Rated in the indictment at the time of the
riot ; and alli on the informality of the five firf
counts in it. On the evidence of Sir John Ingleffiy,
who was High Bailiff, it had appeared, that as he was
proceeding along with Mr. Wilfon, another Magif-
trate, to hold the eleftion at the Town Hall, he found
the Reps filled by a great mob of people, who talked
a great deal of nonfeafe ; among whom the Defen-
dants were foremof, and prevented the elation from
going on. The fall, however, was, that there De-
fendants were in the market place.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH—fi Where a part of the
riot was carried on, and anfwered the general put-
pole of the rioters, it was.fiagrante &multi', and form-
ed a part of the whole riot."
The next ohjeElion was tothe five firfleounts. which
Rated many circnmftances technically ohjeded to by
the Learned Serjeant, particularly that part where
two Bailiffs were mentioned ; this, he contended,
was erroneous, as thete•never was more than one Bai-
liff to the Borough, and the precept was never di-
reded to.more than one.
It appeared, however, that there were two Bailiffs,
though the precept was directed but to one, a fecond
perfon, even on this occafiun, had officiated in that
capacity, and tire Court accordingly affumed that
there were two.
The application was therefore refufed, and
Lord ELLENBOROUGH °braved, that when there
per fans were brought up for judgment, and that the
Court had the Judge's report before them, they
would further confider the subject.
RELDON V. LI-ET.
This was an aelion for breach of agreement, and
tried before the Chief Baton the latt Aflizes for Cam•
bridge, when a verdict was entered, by contest, for
the Plaintiff, fubjl.6t to the prefer-It application to the
Court.
Mr. Serjeant SELLON Elid, this was a motion,
either to fet afide the Verdict, or for the Plaintiff to
anfwer the matter of an affidavit. The Plaintiff was
a Brewer, and the Defendant a Publican. It was
agreed between theft parties, that the latter was to
ilitVe a hClift, which he (iambi keep open at all hours,
far he entertainment of guefts in the ufual way ;
and it scar fut tilts Ripulated, that the Defendant was I
to fril the beer ana ale of the Plain•iff only, at the
rated prices. But, in this latter point, tire breach
was ailign.d, as the Defendant fold the titer and ale
or other perfani, in confequence of which the action
was brougin. On the part of the Plaintiff but one
witner, was called to prove the agreement. Tire De-
fendara, however, (hewed, that the Plaintiff had
rehired to Ripply him with beer or ale, and the learn-
ed Judge directed this application to be made to the
Court.
Lord Ex z r waotoucu.—." When he would not fup-
ly him with beer himfelf, he ought not to prevent
Rim from buying from any one elle."
Mr. WILSON. for the Plaintiff, anfwered. that the
Defendant owed him a large account, which be
could never get the former tu fettle, and that Was the
realm be gelded the beer.

The Court ordered the Plaintiff to anfwer the
affidsvits.

ItMING V. EDGAR.

Mr. PARR Rated this very long cafe to be a dif-
pute between the Lowther family and the Graham,
refpefling the right ref fithing in a river runninir over
the Snl"m and the Rockcliff manors in the North,
upon which a verdict had paired againft his client,
and he obtained a rule to thew cattle why there fhould
not be a new tri.il, the Court intimating a with to
tutu it into a cafe.

NOV. 12.-WILSON v. BARBER.
The Sot-mil-out GENERAL faid, that this was an
aggravated atfault, committed by the Defendant on
the Plaintiff ; that was a matter which he was oblig-
ed to admit ; he applied, however, to the Court for
a new trial, on the ground that the damages were
exceffive—they were 2001. The Plaintiff was a 13ar-
bar, and the Defendant a Sheriff's Officer.

Lord Essetisoftouc tt—" It was as aggravated an
affault as could have been committed by the Defen-
dant upon the Plaintiff, under all the circnmltances
—for it appears by my note, that the Defendant
went to the Plaintiff's houfe, and inflated him, be-
caufe the Plaintiff had brought an adion agaidhim,
beat and ill-treated him violently, in his own boufe,
where he carries on the bufinefs of an hair-dreffer—
fpit in his mouth : and then, by way of triumph, or-
dered a glafs of water for the Plaintiff to waft it down,
which was the greaten of all ;:offible indignities ;and
the Jury judged of this ;atilt, which was fhewn to
a man who was not in the leaft degree offending
againft the law ; he had only fued the Defendant for
a debt, as he had a right to do. Perhaps, faid his
Lordll:ip, I fhould not have given fo much, but I do
not know that that is a reafon why the verdia lhould
be fet afide."

Souctrott Gtmsam..—" It would be much better
for this Defendant to have a fentence of tranfporta•
tion for fourteen years pronounced againft him, than
that fuch a verdift as this Ihould (land—ln the one
cafe he may, Come time or other, have his liberty ;
in the other, he never can."
Mr. GAaaow•--" The Defendant carried a boy
with him to fee, what hc. called, " the fun," of beat-

iag the Plaintiff."
SOLICITOR GRNERAL•••••" My Learned Friend will
have an opportunity of faying this in (hewing caufe
againll the rule."'
I Lord ELLINIOROUOH then read the evidence as it
I was given at the trial, on which his Lordthip ob•
ferved, that the cafe was an aggravated one ; and,
although a verdift for sot. might, perhaps, have
pleated him better, or have been nearer to the point,
as it appeared to him, of Jutlice, yet, in a quellion
of pure feeling—as this indjfputably was—he (horrid be
lorry to interfere with the province of the Jury in
judging of the quantum of damages.—" I remember,"
Paid his Lordfhip, a Cafe, in which soot. damages
were given to a man who was ()ruck over the head
by another for not pulling off his hat in the play
houfe ; it was a cafe in which Mr. Jullice Wri.sorr
was Connie'. The Court would not interfere with
the verdia of the Jury, becaufe the quetlion was a
queftion of filing arifing out of an infult."
SOLICITOR GENERAL.—" I did not open this other.
wife tl aa of a cafe of aggravated infult—but in which
there is no material injury. The only quetlion I
venture to put to the Court is, whether the damages
be exceffive ?"
- -

Mr. Janice LAWRENCE. If a man's month be
fpit into, are we to cohfider, like Surgeons, the cot.
poral injury he fuffers."
SOLICITOR GiNERAL.•••••44 Certainly not ; if the
Court think that tool. is not more than enough for
what has happened, I have nothing to fay."
Mr. jUniCe LAWRENCE.—" Would you inquire
into the degree of pain the Plaintiff endured in his
mouth when the Defendant fpit into it ; or would
you allow the Jury to make an allowance for the
nature of the infult ?'

..-....- ... .
Lord Et.t.ssuottouc H " The damages in this cafe
are fomewhat more, perhaps, than we fhould have
given. if the cafe retied with us ; but if we are to
take from the Jury every decifion in which we might
not have entirely concurred, if we were among them,
I am afraid the province of a Jury would be altoge•
ther done away. If the damages were of fuch a fire,
that the Court, from them, mull neceffarily infer
improper motives in the Jury ; or, if they were of
fuch a fine, as, from the circumflances of the cafe
we mutt infer a mifunderftanding of it in the Jury, it
would be the province of the Court to correa that
error, or rather to put it in a train of being cur -
r eaed. But .if we cannot fee that any improper
inference has been drawn by the Jury, for want of
falicient underltansling of the cafe, or that they have
been aEluated by improper motives, I do not fee
that we can fet .fide their verdiet, on the fcore of
i exceffive damages, without encroaching upon their
province, and laying, that th,;r verdiCt (hail be fet
afide, whenever we think that the damages are too
large--Motion refufed.
