COURT 0/1 IMO% BENCH, JUNE 59.
• riip/RT• •
At the fitting of the Court this morning, Lord El.
enborongh faid, that in the cafe of an infolvent debtor
an attempt had been made at Chambers to ger an af-
fidavit (*worn, of notice having been fetved upon the
creditor, informing him, that the debtOr was coming
up to claim the benefit of the AS, and thus giving the
creditor, if he thought proper, an opprottinity of op.
poling his difeharge. The name of the 'mass was jar.
Millar, and from the manner in which tie conducted
himfelf, and the fufpicious eireumllances attending
the tranfatiort, he was quelNoned who he came from,
and what he was, lice. when lie confeffed that he knew
n thing of the tranfalion,except that he was to have
z. for his trouble in (wearing the affidavit. The man
of e.onfe was not permitted to perjure himfelf, but it
became neccffary, his Lorelfhip laid, to Rate publicly
ht mime of the anion, that of Boys v. Eaftop, to the
end that the defendant might not be difeharged, un
1:4 the perfop retying the notice, and the plaintiff
himfelf fhould perfonally appear in Court: This was
accordingly ordered.
/VIII 20.
THI 11140 O. T. WOOLLEY.
It will be recollefted, that this defendant, who is
an Attorney, had been tried and convifted for an
affault on a Mr. Toth, who is of the fame profeffion.
It appeared that Mr. Woolley had tome difpnte with
this Gentleman, in confequence of which he flunk
him, and not only committed ads of violence on his
perfon, but charged him with unnatural practices, fo
as to expo& him to the honeft indignation of an Englifb
mob, from whom he with difficulty made his efeape.
Mr. Woolley, in mitigation of poniffiment, faid, that
having liftened to Tome ablifive language from the
profe:utor, he offered to him no other perfonal vio-
lence than that of taking him by the note and thaking
him by it.
Mr. GaltlOW was heard for the profecution.—He
trotted the Court would not fail leverely to animad-
vert on an Attorney, who had prelumed to Rate in
mitigation of his offence, that he had dared to pull
the note of one of his Majefty's
Mr. M made a fcw oblervations on the
part of the defendant.
Sir Nara Thomas Woolley, you have
admitted yourfelf guilty of a very ferions charge—
that of afikulting Richard Toth; and after having
beard the eircumflances, it appears one of the molt
aggravated cafes of the kind that ever came before
the Court ; for it is evident you had malice in your
heart againft this man. In profecution of that malice,
you, without provocstion, called him by names too
bad to be mentioned in i Court of junice. You im-
puted to him an unnatural crime, and publicly al
faulted him. This appears to have been the continu-
ance of old inveterate malice. There are circuits.
lances of great aggravation fn your cafe. You, an
Attorney, living in this great town, mutt have Imam
what a proper prejudice there is againft men fuppof•
ed only to be guilty of the crime you imputed to the
grofecutor, and how mueh difpofed the populace are
to treat them with vitience. A man like you, there.
fore, could not has. attest asyou have done without
a wicked and diabaleal intention. I have attended
to your affidavit, and is, &mains an additional aggra-
vation of your offence, for inked of fhewing contd.
rim, you (late that you only pulled the profecurnr
by the note. Only pulled him by the ante (
How dare an Attorney of this Court Rate in mitiga-
tion of his offence, that be only polled his profecutor
by the note? Taking all the circumftances into confi-
dent/cm, and recolletiting that it is fit that men in
your fituation (*hold be deterred from the commiffion
of limiter outrages, the Court doth order and ad-
judge, that you pay a fine to the King of 51. that
you be imp:limed so the cuftody of the Marthal of
the Marthalfea for one calendar month; that you
give fecurity for keeping the public peace for three '
years, yourfelf in sod. and two (arctic. in fol. each;
and funkier, that you be imprifoned until inch fern-
city is entered min.—The defendant was immediately
conveyed to the King's Bench prifon.
TIM XlllO A 00•11t11011. PICTS:M.

Lord ii.r.soloaouote obferved, that, in conk-
quence of the time of the Court having been recently
occupied cm a matter of great public Importance, the
bufinefe of the abhors was fo much in a , that if
the cafe of Governor Pieon was argued this Term,
it would preclude the poffibility of entering into any
thing elle. His Lordthip, therefore, withed to know
whether there was an abfolute neceffity for preffing
it on?
Mr. D was entering into Tome of the eircum.
fiances of the trial, when he was interrupted by Mr.
Gas sow, who fuggetied the impropriety of having
the cafe prejudiced, on the part of the profecutioa, by
being heard by piecemeal.
Mr. DALLAS then Paid, that a report of the trial
had reached the Mad of Trinidad, and that the
Governor and Conflituted Authorities had convened
a meeting, in order to athertain what the precife law
of the Eland was with refine to the infliElion of tot.
ture. The refult appeared to be, that although in
the code of laws fur the regulation of the Spanilh
Weft India Colonies there was no mention of torture,
)et that in all cafes not fpecified the law of Old Spain ,
applied, and confequebtly that torture might be le.
rally leforted to, as a means of obtaining proof of
roil,. They had tranfmitted by the packet, which
had jolt arrived, a certificate, and various documents,
in cunfitmation of the exifience of fuch law in the
Colardes ; and he Was anxious that thofe papers
th.,uld be regularly before the Court, when the quet
lion of the new trial came on to be argued.
Lord E LLLLL oanuon expreffed his doubts as to
the propriety of the Court receiving fuck certificate
and documents, after the folemn verdift of a Jury,
negativing the legal application of torture in the
Spanith Colonies, and particularly after a Commiffion
had been And to athertain what the law was.
Mr. GAIIRCW Paid, that the CommUhion had been
concluded by the Attorney Genetal of the ifhind, the
only witnefs the defendant bad materially relied upon;
Ind as no proof had been obtained of any law autho. ,
rising torture, it •wonld be highly improper now, I
after a verdict, to receive any certificate which went
to contradill the decifion of a Jury.
Lord ELLIIIIIIOROU6 w dented Mr. D o make
motion on Monday, for a rule to (hew caufe why
ve fbuuld not be given to file an additional Iffida.
.it, to which the certificate and documents might be

annexed. He certainly could nett entireive Plow mat-
ter, which had not been brought forward, after an
enquiry of many months, and, if it had been brought
forward, would not have been evidence on the trial,
could now be engrafted on the proceedings, fo as to
operate upon the judgment of the Court. However,
the motion for a rule to thew cattle might be made
on Monday I bur, as it was not prafticable that caufe
could be floor. this Term, the rule mull be drawn up
for next Michaelmas Term.
Mr. DALLAS will make his motion on Monday,
and the queftinn will, of courfe, (land over till it can
be difeuffed with that leifure and folemnity due to its
great imeortance.
WARVILL V. OOIYCH.
Sir V. Gases (hewed caufe again( a Rule which
had been obtained, calling on a Mr. Wardell to (hew
caufe whyl Mrs. Gooch thould not be difcharged,
on filing common bail, on the ound that the was a
marvied woman, the Rating inkier affidavit that the
believed her huthand to be living at this day ; that
he certainly was Co when the was wetted in April
lafl, and condueed to Exeter jail, where the has been
confined ever finee for this debt.
Sir V. Gases Paid his client was a wine merchant,
who had fupplied Mrs. Gouck with wine and liquors;
he knew that (be was living apart from her hufband.
She had told him the had a feparate maintenance
from her hulband of isol. a year, and, therefore, the
Plaintiff contended, that the was answerable to him
in that feparate charader. That he thould like to
carry that quellion to the Houfe of Lords.
The Court however nbferved, that the cafe of Cobb
and Pollnitz,in which Come fuch dn6rine as this wee to
be found, was no longer to be confidered as law, and
that no married woman was liable to the payment, of
any debts whatever, the being incapable of contra Bing
any, except where the was a Pole trader in the City
of London, or Come few other exceptions, which had
no reference to this cafe, and therefore ordered the
Rule for the difcharge of the Defendant to be made
abfolute.
RICKAIONV O. JOIIIISTVIS. •
Mr. WNARTOII came this day to thew caufe 'pint*
a conditional rule obtained by Mr. Hut.zoca, for the
Plaintiff to be aUnwed his colts upon the Defen-
dant's pleas of jußification, purfuant to the flatutes
of Anne and Elizabeth.
This was an aAion of trefpsfs, for entering his
premifes, and taking away the Plaintiff's gook.—
The Defendant was the Vicar of the Parifla, and had
pleaded two pleas in jußificatinn ; the one, that tithes
being due to him by the Plaintiff, he took the goofe
as his tithe goofe : the other, that he took it with
the knowledge and content of the Plaintiff. The
caufe went to trial, and the Jury found a verdid of
three !billings for the Plaintiff. being the value °fate
goofe. The Learned Counfel contended, that the
Plaintiff, under there circumflances, was not entitled
to his colts, the Judge not having certified that the
Defendant had good or probable cads for pleading
fuch matter.

Mr. Hoca.oca, in fupport of the rule, argued at
fume length, and citcd a vadety of afes on the
fulled.
The Court. conlider;ng it a queillon worthy arma-
ture delißeration, deferred their judgment to a future
day.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. JUNE ao.
ARROW/91TH O. WALSH.

This was an Raton to recover tool. the amount of
an Attorney's bill. The plaintiff was the intimate
friend of the defendant, and a joint indiament being

ceedings, and the prefent aaion was brought for hal
the expences. There were charges included in the
demand for conducing a (nit in which Wins fup-
ported a claim In right of a copyhold.
On the part of the defendant an attempt was made
to invalidate many of the Amu is the bill, and (eve.
ral letters were produced which paffed between the
parties; the contents of them were of the moil ludi-
crous defcription, and they produced much mirth in I
Court. There was ground to WWI that a partner-
!hip had exilled between the plaintiff and defendant,
but as the latter did not produce any fatitfaaory evi.
dance to defeat the prefent claim, the jury returned
a verdia for the phsiitiff, damages tool.

Monday fennight, there was a wrefiling match
on Paaxworth Green, Norfolk, before a large con-
cootie of fpedators ; the champion of the field wak
