LAW INTELLIGEIVOZ.

COURT OF JUNG'S BENCH, DEC. t 6.
I•RAH HARWOOD V. JOiIPH HARWOOD.

The Plaintiff and Defendant Hand in the near re.
lationfhip of mother and fon. This was an iffue di.
reEled the Lord Qtareellot, to determine whether
Harwood,
Joreph Harwood, the Defendant, at the time he re.
caved 37001. in Exchequer bills, from hit mother,
the Plaintiff, gave her any confederation for them.
Mr. GASROW, for his client, faid, that her late hill
hand carried on bufinefs as a milliner in the town of
Cambridge, but dying about twenty years finte, left
his wife, and an only fon, to conduct the trade. By
the greateft indufiry on the part of the former, The
was enabled to fend her child to a boarding (drool ;
and after be had received a foundation in clack
learning, placed him in (;)rcen's College, Cambridge,
and fubfiquently had him entered, at his own requell,
as a ftudent in Lincolit's.inii. It was at this period,
notwithitanding varicus improdeneies committed by
the young man, that his mother gave /tins, to place ,
in the funds, for his own independent ufe, from her
firings hailer bulinefz, the turn of noel. A (port'
time afterwards, while refident in London, he enter-
ed into a (peculation with a perfon of the name of
Odic, who pretended to have made the difeovety of
blanching parchment. The erperiment failed; and
he loft nut only hi. own, but a confiderable fum of
money belonging to his mother. After this ill foe-
eels, the Defendant, affetled by his misfortunes, and
the alrnoft total ruin in which be had involved his pa•
rent, became deranged in his mind ; and it was not
until a period of nearly fix months had elapfed, that
his mother, from the fond regard fhe felt towards bee
fon, even without the apprnbetfon of his Ph7fisiAns
ventured to take him to her lodgings in SUE repllrcei,
that the Bright herfel( watch uvey his recovery. It
war at this tame that the tranfabion, which was the
fubjet of the iffue, took place ; and' to affift the de.
citron of which, the Lord Chancellor had direfted,
thee both the mother and the fan Mould be examined.
In February, 1803. Mrs. Harwood, fearing the re•
covery oh large damages again& her for a libel, in.
%riled all her money in the funds in Exchequer bill:.
Thefe her fon had obtained, on the pretence of put%
chafing Omnium, but 'Quail), applied it to his own
purpofes, without giving any confideration, and that
was the fubjcft of the iffue.
Mrs. Harwood having been called, pofitively
(wore, that no confederation wlratever had been given
her for the Exchequer bills which her fon had ob.
tained, on the peetence of increaling her income by
i
it .
nvetting in Omnium.
Sir V. Galas, for the Defendant, produced his
client, who pi (give!), contradilted his mother in
every fall the had flared. He denoted, that he had
given a valuable confideration for the Exchequer
bills, which totaled of Bank notes, one of which
amounted to the furn of wool. but he had never
made any minutes of the numbers of the notes he
gave to his mother. He derived the money fronshis
bolincfs as a tanner.

The Jury, before they permitted the Learned
Counfel for tho Plaintiff to reply, °braved that they
were perfealy fdtibfied, that a perfon who in Nth
large payments made nn minute of the number, Of
the notes, and gave fa incoherent an aceonnt of the
trantaaion, was unworthy of btlirf.—Verdia for the
Plaintiff, es.

The Plaintiffs are coach makers in Long Acre,
the Deferitlantsare Truftees to the Pelican infuritnce
Office.

Mr. DAMPIER opened the pleadings, Rating, that
this was an :anon on a policy r.f inky ance on the
life of the late Right Hun. W. Pitt. The him infured,
fur prhich the delendasts were to be anfwerahle in the
reps o(the death of that Minifler, waS soot. The
pierniuns paid was three guineas per hundred pounds,
or 35 guipsoss annually,

Sir Vicear Gam, on clic rime fide, on behalf of
the plaintiffs, expreffed his utter altonifhment, that
any refinance fhould have been made to the prefent
demand. The defendants he 'would not name, be•
caufe he was not willing toe x pofe them to obloquy in
a public Court; it was quite fuffactenttu fay, that they
had (hot fuundly on their pillows, receiving yearly
their fifteen guineas, and they cow contended, that
,they had nothing whatever to pay for ibis amount,
which they had foccellively pocketed during a per int'
at three years. It was true that the Turn of 311. had
been paid into Court, which Mewed, that the cafe of
his Clients was not %thrill, without foundation, even
in the opinion of the defendants; and this amount
had been fcraped -together. and • eshibited, as if it
were at'all competent to fatisfy the original demand.
The admiffions basing been read,- which connitu
ted all the evidence on the part of the plaintiff.
Mr. Gaiteow role, and addreffed bi. Lordllrip and
the Jury with great animation. He was Imp, Wed..
that on en octillion of this kind, his Learned Friend
fhould have opened his cafe, as if thedefendants wer)i,
reluelant in anfwering the dernands of plaice, or as if
they Mould go round with a prior's box to culled the
paltry fum of 311. to anfwer the reqtrifition of thee
claimants. Two qtteffions appealed cn the Gee of
the record : both of them were worthy the confide,-
ati .n of his Lordfhip and the
_boy. end his Clients
had the fairnefs to admit every quallion which could
be attended with. any difficulty. •
)4, bile the Learned Conde! was proceeding. his
Lordlhip interpofed and IWO, that whatever might
have been fat ff for the plaintiffs in this caufe, no im-
putation relied on theldefenclants in confequence of
their having admitted this &aim: to be brought into
Court. From the refpeft due to the place where legal
proceedings were held, an 3 to the value of the time
they occupied,* perhapsswould have been tight that
he Mould have interrupted the-gentleman who dated
the nature of the quellion, and the circumnance with
which it was attended. lie now was convinced it was
his duty to interfere, and the.Gentleme-n of the Jury
would evidently perceive that the fubjeel involved a,
queflion of law, which was very fit to receive delibe-
rate examination from the Judges of the Court at a
rfoture time.

The Plaintiff depohted 570 quarters of the heft
Dantzig wheat in the Defendant's granaries for 25
days. When it was meafitred out, the Defendant
raid it had lon so quarters and 5 bufhels, and for this
deficiency theaaion was brought, the value being 451.
For the Plaintiff it was proved that the wheat fold
at gos. per quarter, which was the highell price in
the market, and that Come of the fame wheat depo-
fited in his own granaries, did not fuGer any wale.
The Defendant called many wit neffes to thew that the
yak was the fair diminution in quantity arifing from
the neceffasy turning of the wheat, to keep it drt•, and
alto from the (limning of it for (ale, according to
the di; eftion of the Plairdiff.—Verdia for the t'saia-
