CONSISTORY COURT, MAY 29.

I'itANKLAND V. NICHOLSON.

This was a Catile of nullity of marriage, iirdmnted
by Anth:my rrankland, of the parifh of St. Mary-
! •.bonne, againft Ann Nicholfon, fal 'ely calling her-
: :If Ft ankland. By the proceedings it appeared, that
Anthony Frankland and An*Nicholfon were married
cn the 19th of Oaober, 14303, in the parith church
ci it. Paul, C;, .tent-garden, by the officiating Milliner
Of that narilh, by the false and affumed name of
Ann Rofs, in purfuance of the banns of matri-
mm,y, three times publifhed. On the part of the
litifband, it was argued, that a change of name to
be cmilidered as a tree name, Mutt be by the King's
Royal Licence, cr ACT of Parliament, and therefore
mull have been a fraud praaifed on the hufband
relpta to the parentage and family of the par-
t T ....Wit whom he.was about to coatraa. It was alto
fraud praCtifed on the Clergyman, and likewife
ti ....inn the law, which was x principal point in a
tof lunice to be contidr.red. On the part of
t.:*uife it was contended, that there had been nn
stand committed on the parents, inafmuch as both
the I).trti•!s %%Trenf legal age; and that if the party was
deceived hit refpea to the name, he could not be as
to the perfoa on whom he -had fixed his affeCtions ;
and further contended, that there was no fraud what-
eer to affea the rights which were intended to be
tallained ;:y the Marriage Aa. The Court faid, it
s".s clear in this cafe that fraud had been pranifed,
:Lad therefore was of opinion that the marriage 'vas
not a legal One, and mull he pronounced null and vcid.

fur Tome time.

MAY 28.-FOX v. ecntow,
'Ws u,lts an action brought to recover the urs end
occupatio:,. of the Plaintiff's horfe.
The Plaintiff, in this cal.?, was a dealer in horfes,
iefiding nett'. Hendon, in the county of Middlefex,-
and the Defendant was an Attorney, living in Chan-
eery-lane, and havng a houfe alto at Kentifh.town.
On the part of the Plaintiff, Mr. Easstus ftated,
Out, on the isith of January laft, die Plaintiff being
at Eylefbuty Fair, purchafed the hail:, or rather
poney, in queftion, frOM a perfon •of the name of
Bornidge, who was then foxant to Sir, William
Young, Bart. for 41. los.
•A few days after, being
at Smithfield, with the poney, he was claimed by
the Defendant, as his property ; the Plaintiff was
taken into t;ultt.dy, On full.7eion of being a both-
ftealer, end the Defendant kept poffellion of the po-
tty tve fence.
Sir William Young (who gave his teltimony from
the Bench), and fix of his fervants, fwore pofitively
to the poney, in where yoffeflion he had been for
four years ; and Horniagt, who had fold him by di-
tatiOn of Ids tnt4tter, itatcd, that he alio fold the
bridle, whiCh he afterwards recognifed with the De-
fendant ; all the witntffcs (wore to the particular
mark of the letter 'l'. on the off hind flank; and the
Defendant, when a4ked by forte of them, what
raatks his horfe had got? replied, he had not coy.
The cafe made out by the Defendant was, that he
had the poney in queftion for near five years, for
the ufe of his daughters, who were •accultorned to
ride him about in the neighbourhood of Kentifli town;
and that, about the time the Plaintiff purchafed him,
be had been Roden from the Defendant; and being
teen in the poll-Ann of the Plaintiff, at Smithfield,
was feized and taken ftom him.

A great number of atirneffes were called on behalf
of the Defendant, who fwore to various marks about
him, but, only one frore pofitiiely as to the mark
of a T on his off hind-flank ; fome (wore he had a
mark of a cut, which had been feared up, on th:
; but, the farrier's book denominated it the
eye-brow. One of the witnefres (Mr. Joyce, a cow
keeper;, in order to prove the identity, (wore that
the pones?, being accuftorned to graze at different
Info= with l'im, was brought to his yard after he
Was taken from the Plaintiff, and, by way Of experi-

meat was let loofa near his farm-yard, thi Which
plate the poney immediately direded his cantle, and
proceeded to a filed, where he had been accuftomed
to ea rains with the cows ; and, on another occa-
lion, his recognifing an acquaintance with the Defen-
dant's mare was contidered a proof of his identity.
Lord Etttasttoucii, in funiming up the evi•
dcnce to the Jury, obfervedt that much contradidory

teflimony had been given in this cafe, but, on the
part of the Plaintiff, it bad been circum Rant ial ; the
poffellion of the poney was traced regularly for lime
years back, never having 'seen out of the poirecion
of Sir William Young, during the whole of that time ;
and all his fervants uniformly (wore to the fame mark;
whereas, on the part of the Defendant, tire hurfe had
been out of his poffellion at times, and the witticEs
-.vied exceedingly in their crLience, as to the parti
ettlar marks of the horfe.—The Jury, without much
rl:l;!)eration, found a•verdia for the Plaintiff.

PAILER V. O'ARIIEN.

I'i is was an affion of ejeament, and the only quer-
; nn tG :he cafe was, whether the notice to quit ea-
r fired at the fame quarter as that at which the tenancy
commenced ? The Defendant had lived for twenty-
(even years in Craven. ftreet, Strand, and had incau-
tiouily ,:ohlelfed to a diftrefs broker, that his tenancy
cummcnced at Lady-day, and this man having been
employed by the iandlord to obtain the fat!, the no-
tice to quit was made out accordingly. The Defen-
dant called Dr. Kennedy to prove that he entered his
houfe at. the Chrilimas quarter, by laying that he
called on Mr. O'Brien on the 23d of January, 177,9,
the very day he had been married, and found him
giving orders for furnithing his houfe, into which he
had jul' before moved.
Lord T'LLENRoitoor.al obferved, that there was no-.
thing fo common as foi perfons to enter upon premifes
time time before their rent commenced, and as the
Defendant had hirnfelf Rated the commencement of

his tenancy to be at Ladrdat, he thought the jury
uld take his own 'word in preference to any one's
elfe.—Verdiet for the Plaintiff.

ItICHARDSON AND STUANT 9. WM.:GLINDIN.

The Plaintiffs are merchants at Newcaftle-upon-
Tyne, the Defendant is a taylor in London ; and this
anion was brought on a Bill of Exchange accepted
by the latter for zzBl. 6s. 6d. To this there Was a
let-off, and the balance claimed was ;54 tos. ; td.
The only quellion, in the caufe was, whether the
Plaintiffs had entered into fuch an engagement with
the Defendant, in fraud of his creditors, as preclud-
ed them from fupper!ing this :talon on the Bill of
Exchange ? I •
After Mr. PARKS had been heard on the part of
the PlaintilTs, and Mr. gaenow for the Defendant,
confirmed by their rerpeltive witneffes, it appeared,
that the Piaintiffs, had finned no deed of mill, and a
Verdid was found in their favour for 1541. ;6s. ; id.
In the cafe of " Dowlie v. Prudence," a verdict
was found for the Plaintiff, 61. los. ; and in that of
" Belchamber v. Dance." the Plaintiff was nonfuited.

WEDNESDAY, may 29.—ROACH V. CLARK.F.
The Plaintiff was Mate, and the Defendant Cap-
tain of the fhip called the (teen Charlotte.. This
anion was brought for an alfault, committed during
the pAtfage of the laid (hip from BAlbmioes to Su-
t inam.

Mr. ERSKITIE, for the Plaintiff, faid the ai9inn was
brought with the concurrence and under the aufpices
of the firti merchant in the world, who, jointly with
another Gentleman, was proprietor of this veffel—
he meant Sir Francis I3aring. The cafe faceted
great dithonour on the charafter of the Defendant,
and very nearly affeCted the commercial importance
and naval fuperimity of this countt y. The thip was
configned to Sir Philip Gibbs, who was much pleafed
with the. conclud of the Plaintiff, and conferred on
him a particular mark of his favour. I: healer this
gave umbrage to the Defendant he did net know,
but the particulars that would appear in evidence,
would exp4e a (tepee of defeCtive difcipline, and of
wanton cruehy, which he (the Learned Counfel)
for the honour of the Engslilh name, would have
berth happy (if the purpofes of public juliice had
perinitted n) should have been for ever concealed.—
In confequence of this outrage, the. Plaintiff, a re-
fpeelable and fuperior officer, was inhumanly lacerated
with an instrument called the Thieves Cat, which is
only ufed nn boa; d of Ihi ps on thole occafions nn which
the halter is employed on fhore, that is, for theft and
capital offences. Fur the damages due to the Plain.
ti for the difgrace and corporal fuffering he hal t,n-
-; dergone, this aaiun WAS brought.
• Henky Ballard, an apprentice in the Q2cen Char-
depnfed, that the Defendant had threatened to
put the Plaintiff on board the Cu: hats, the !hip of
war having the trade to Surinam tinder conc.:oy:
The Captain of the Q2een.Charlotte, on the tsrtr of
September, 1804, went on board the convoy; and
brought back with him, in a !late of intoxication (he
being himfelf in the fame condition) duce Liente•
nants, one of whom was the Commander of the Cu.
ricux. They all incrcafed their date of intemperance
by copious draughts from the limes of the (I,2een
Charlotte. The Plaintiff was, then on watch, and
one of the Lieutenants, prefelitly forfunk the cabin.
and began an altercation with him. The latter, &f-
-rilled with this Interruption while he was on daty,
returned oath for oath, and in the fequel the Captain
of the Q2een Charlotte and the other two Lieute-
nants inter poled. The Mate was then charged with
" dunning his Majetly's Lieutenant," and after at.-
faulting him with blows, they hurried him into the
boat of the Cntieux, and with Uri three Officers and
the boat's crew, put off, the Captain hallowing oat,
.1 Take the rafcal on board and point (A) him
well," It was in vain that the Mme fun; (called)
out murder, lit vain that he impllred to have his
clothes to protect him (he was,almull naked, and in
this Rate conv,:yed towards the armed brig.)
The fame ,a itnefs raid he afterwards law him—lte
had been whipped with the Thieves Cat the fol-
lowing morning ; he was dreadfully cut, and his
wounds were relict Ins, having received no furgicat
affillance. _ _

The Soitcrrna GENERAL admitted the great in,-
proprty of the Defendant's conduct, but contend-
ed, that although he mull be reiponlible for d.tnia•
ges for the afttult on board his own (hip, yet that he
was not anfwerable for the inhuhrm treatment the
Plaintiff had received on board the King's (hip.
Lord ELLENISORoUGH.:--" It is for you, Gentlemen
of the Jury, to confider, if the Captain had not put
the whole of this ha/barons proceeding in motion—
and on your judgment, as to this particular, will de-
pend the quantum of damages you affign. The con-
du.t of the Officers of the armed (hip has been molt
difgraceful, if the evidence given this day be correct
—they have difhonoured the Commiffion they bear,
' and they fhould not be permitted to retain it, until,
before the proper tribunal, they are purged of this
heinous offence. It is not to be endured, that the
trade of the country, inflead of being protetted by
the perfons to whom that important duty is entruft-
ed, fhould be thus abandoned in the exceffes of ine-
btiety, and that thofe who arc fo mates ially hiltru-
mental in the condo& of that trade, fhuulci be ex-
pofed to this violente of aggreffion."
His Lordfhip proceeded to comment on the vat i-
ous parts of the evidence, after which the Jury found
a Verdict for the Plaintiff, tool.
a• CLARKE V. t. CHARLES.

The Plaintiff is a Bank Clerk, the Defendant is a
Wine Merchant. This aelion was brought for da-
mages for a violent all:suit.
Mr. ERSKIVF, for the Plaintiff, faid, the parties,
with about four or five other perfons, were at Old
Slaughter's Coffee-honfe, when an altercation took
place, and which would appear, by the evidence, to
have terminated very fericsufly for the Plaintiff, whole
life was endangered.
Mr. Seaton, a Stock broker, was one of the cow-
pany. He deputed there was a quarrel, and the
Plaintiff laid, .4 It would be a pretty thing for two
Bank Clerks to go ont with piftols, and that Arnbrofe
Charles (the Defendant's brother) would be a good
butt to Amor at." This fubfequently produced a let-
ter from the Defendant, which contained a challenge.
The Plaintiff did not comply with the requifition of
an immediate fatisfaeory anfwer ; but he told the
bearershe had a wife and three children, and "would
not rilk his life in fo foolith an affair." Soon after
this the Defendant entered the room, firuck the Plain-
' tiff down with his nick, and continued beating him
until the company interpoled,

the Sarg:ons who attended the Plaine' depored-
that his hr..td was cut to the priers/Ns. that the inters;
meat: above were divided, and tha► the eartilogiaxs
parts of the note were injured.
After a few words for die Defendant by Mr.
CLIFFORD, a verdict was found for the Plaintiff--cia.

vice. The Profecutor rang his bell fever:ll times in
the evening of tho day Rated, when he found that the
prifoner was not in the hook, and on his fearching
his bed-rnom,lie found that his plate had been itolen.
The prifoner had called on a milkman in the New
Road, of the name of Soley, at ten o'clock after he
had left his maHer's hence, and informed him he was
going into the country. Soley faw two of the boxes
put into coach, and he accompanied the ptifoner

was traced to a public-houfe at Pockeriige and the
prifitner was foon after &cured by Rivets—Guilty—

ao halt. uineas, 81. in flyer, a number of leven thil-
ling pieces, 51. in penny pieces and halfpence, and
two one pound Bank of England notes.—lt appeared
from the evidence, that the Profeentriz keeps a (mall
(hop in Long alley, Shoreditch, and lets the remain-
ing part of her houfe to lodgers. On Sunday, the
28th of .April, the went to the country with her
daughter, a child of 14. and left the money, which
the !hid was all the was worth in the world, locked in
a drawer in her parlour, which communicated with
the (hop. The ltreet door was ufually left open for
the convenience of the lodgers. About feven in the
evening the Profecutries daughter returned before
her mother, and faw ?he prifoner Garland come out
of the parlour. She alarmed the neighbours, and he
was feized, but had the addrefs to prevail on the per •
fon who flopped him to let him go. The ptifoner
Davies was leen in the paffage oft he houfe about two
o'clock, by a lodger who was going to his room,—
The !beet door was at this time bclted ; but, upon
the lodger knocking, it was opened by Davie, who
walked off. On the 15th of May, both the prifoners
were apprehended in a room with Tome women of the
town, and there were found near their pertons rime
pick-lock key, but none that fitted the door of the
Prnfecutrix's parlour ; there was 'rime of Islrs.Curtis's
property found upon them. Each prifoner cndea-
Vowed to prove an aZif tint without fnecefs. There
were, hi.wever, Lowe circumflances of doubt in the
case.—'!'he Joey retired, and after deliberating nearly
an 11.1 m-, fOund both the prifoners Guilty, but recom-
mended them to meicy.—This trial occupied the
greater part of the day.

Fagan, Catherine Kelly, G. Dnckham, G. Brigs,
Either Merriman, and. Margaret Bucknell, alias
Brown; and three were acquitted.
