COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APkIL 29.
JIA4IiERTON V. SELL.
1 This was as action on a Folic), of Insurance, to re-
kover the value of 100 hogsheads of sugar, shipped
bn board the Point-a-Petre, at Guadaloupe, which
were totally lost. The shipment of the sugar, and
the loss of the vessel, 'Were distinctly proved; and a
erdict was given in favour of the plaintiff.
; sionsom V. IN iSr..S. .
This was an action to recover £325, the alleged
mount of an account due from the defendant to the
ie
laintiff, a livery-stable-keeper. Upon the part of
he plaintiff, it was proved, that the horses of the de-
ndant had been placed at his stables six years back,
6nd had remained there until the present time. The
'defendant having refused to pay the bill, the present
action was brought.
Mr. Serjeant Bssr, for the defendant, said, he was
ady to admit that Mr. Innis had sent his horse to
le stables of the plaintiff; but he must also contend,
1 hat he was completely exonerated from any charge
`Vhatever for his keep. The facts of the case were
these :—Mr. Innes, at the time stated by the plaintiff,
t his horse to r. Hobson. The horse was a very
valuable one, and worth at least 100 guineas. Mr.
Innes being a man of business, did not use the ani-
mal frequently, and consequently it could have re-
ceived no injury from him. About five years back,
however, having occasion to send his servant to Bar-
lien
net, he desired him to go to the stables of Mr. Hob-
!son, and take his horse. For that purpose he went
;to the stables, where he saw the plaintiff, who seemed
1 anxious to prevent him from seeing the horse saddled,
and a friend of his took him to the further end of the
istable-yard, and kept him in conversation while the
!horse was brought cut. The animal was afterwards
taken under a dark gateway, where the servant could
not see him, and where he mounted him, without
perceiving any defect. He had not got many streets
from the stables, however, when he found the animal
stumble and tremble under him in such a manner, as
to endanger his neck by a fall. He then alighted,
and on examining die horse, found that his knees were
much cut, and that he was otherwise injured about
the head and neck. He, however, pnrsued his jour-
!Bey, and on his return to town informed his master
of the state in which he had found the horse. His
master then desired him to go to Mr:Hobson and
tell him, that he would be no longer answerable for
the keep of the horse, and would only pay for the pe-
riod which was then due. After this the plaintiff did
not send in any bill for two years, when he sent in a
bill for part of the sum now demanded. This the
defendant refused to pay ; and for the two years sub-
aequently the plaintiff sent in his bill half-yearly, and
finally brought the present action.
These facts being proved en the part of the de-
fendant, the Jury, under the direction of Mr. Justice
Gums, returned a verdict for the defendant.

well recovered from his excursion to Bath, as to be

Sir War. GAnaow is appointed Attorney-Generals

was confined to the place in which it first broke out,

Tuesday se'nnight, at mid-day, a farm house, in
the parish of Old Kilpatrick, caught fire, which com-
municated to the stable and byre, and before it was

getting it under, and without any accident happening
to him, he dropped down, and expired.
Wednesday niorning, soon after one o'clock, an
alarming fire broke out in the premises of Mrs. Ste-
vens, grocer, Charlton-crescent, Islington, and burnt
with such rapidity for an hour as to threaten the

. -
whole neighbourhood with destruction ; but from the
timely arrival of the engines, and being near the New
River, it was very fortunately confined to the house
where it broke out, which is entirely consumed.—
Mrs. Stevens was in bed when the fire broke out, and
could save nothing but the clothes which she brought
in her hand to put on. The damage is estimated at
about £5OO or £6OO.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—L was, a toll-taker at Ty-

for over-weight than he was entitled to, and detaining
• a cart belonging to Mr. Gower until the extortion
was paid. The cart was laden with implements of
agriculture, and was weighed on the bridge ; but the
defendant made a mistake of several hundred weight,
and charged 12s. instead of Is. Gd. Mr. Gower had
the cart and its contents weighed at one of the Pad-
. , Pad-
dington wharfs, and detected the imposition. The
defendant was convicted in the penalty of 40s. and
1 costs.

TREARES.

CnVINT GARDEN..—The new Cotnedy, called
" Education," brought forward at this Theatre, may
be considered as almost a phenomenon in the pre-
sent degraded state at Dramatic Literature, and con.
veys important instruction. To an elegant simplicity
of plot, it unites the combined graces of sound sense,
strong and animated diction, and a singularly fortu-
nate delineation of character. It was announced for
repetition last night amidst peals of applause, from
an overflowing House.
DRURY-LANE.—Last night the Comedy of the
Hypocrite was represented at this Theatre to a very
numerous audience. The part of Dr. Cantwell was
admirably sustained by Mr. Dowrow, and the cha-
racters throughout were well supported.—Lodoida
followed, and increases in favour by repetition.
LITTLE DRURY•LANE--•ThiS Theatre, formerly
the Olympic and Musical Pavilion, bids fair, under
the management of ELLISTON, to rival, if not sur-
pass, all the other Summer Theatres, as it affords
all the light amusement which is sought for in those
places, without any of that grossness by which they
are too often disgraced. The House fills remarkably
well, and the boxes are generally occupied by entire
families.

Such an opportunity as the one now afforded, of
possessing the unrivalled Works of Dr. TnciaNrox,
for the small sum of JCL ss. will never again occur,
as the books cannot be re-published, ...nd the copper-
plates are, by the Act of Parliament, directed to be
destroyed. There is no doubt that those Works will
be at a high premium, and that the purchase of a
Ticket before Thursday Next, the 6th of May, must
be a certain gain. The great Prize, valued at ,e5OBO,
will produce more than that amount.
Few French writers have so deservedly and uni-
formly merited the public esteem as Mad. de GENLIS;
and our Readers will, no doubt, participate in the
pleasure we feel at announcing a new Work, which,
as usual, contains no less instruction than amuse-
ment : it is called 44 La Feuille des Ge,u du Monde,"
ou, Journal Imaginaire ; and may be procured, among
other new Books, at the Foreign Library in Conduit-
street.
