COURT $F KING'S BENCH, JUNE 16.
Mr. NOLAN moved for a Mandamus to be directed
to John Salter, late vestry-clerk of Blackwall parish,
Commanding him to deliver up to the present Church-
wardens and Oirerseers of the parish, the patish books
in his possession ; on an affidavit stating, that Mr.
Salter had been the vestry-clerk of this parish up to
the 3d of April last, and then a new set of Church-
wardens and Overseers of the Poor were appointed,
and they had chosen a siew vestry-clerk, and he
wanted the books of the parish for purposes of the
parish business. The Learned Gentleman observed,
it had been decided, by authority, that a vestry-clerk
was an annual officer, in the case of the King and the
Churchwardens of Croydon, and Ulu therefore this
gentleman was no longer vestry-clerk of this parish,
he being removed by competent authority.
The Court observed, that this motion could only
be granted sub modo, because the gentleman who held
these books belonging to the parish, might have de-
mands upon the parish for monies due to him, and
while those monies remained unpaid he must have a
lien upon such hooks ; but the Court granted a rule
to shew cause why, upon depositing in the hands of
the Master whatever sum this gentleman claims to be
due to him, these books should not be delivered up ;
but would not grant an unqualified Mandamus -to de-
liver up these books, because that might deprive 'this
gentleman of his lien upon them.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 16.
RAVEN v. HARRIS.

The plaintiff in this case was a bailiff's follower,
and-the defendant a Jew attorney.
It was an action to recover payment for the care of
an empty house, at the rate of 13s. 6d. per day, for
three months. The question was, whether the plain-
tiff had bona fide fulfilled his engagement ? He proved
that he had coasumtly (vaulted the premises in ques-
tion ; but had never slept there. The defendant, on
the other hand, adduced evidence to shew that the
plaintiff had never gone near the house, more than
once or twice, after the first week.
Sjr JAMES MANSFIELD Was of opinion,. that in the
first place, the demand of 3546c1. per day, made by
the plaintiff, was.too exorbitant for the labour done,
and in the next place that the case was by no means
made out, It was for the Jury to determine for how
much longer. ,a petiod 'they would remunerate him
than a week.. .ludgin.6£:.the evidence, he was deci-
dedly e( opinion be, ought to recover no more than
for the first week's attendance.—The Jury found for
the plaintiff-Damages, 445..-Costs, 40s.

.This day the Right Hon. Sir WILLIAM Scorr pro.
ceeded to the. adjudication of the following cases :
Hannah, Painting miter.;--thht vessel, under Anneican co-'
lours' in ballast, frbm Amsterdam 4 to New York, was captured
by the Poll- cutter, on the ground of a breach of blockade, and
brought to Dover. She had sailed from America before the Order

'w detained. Afire Court decreed that the mister had not for-

Vrow Gexina, Docks master.—This vessel sailed UsacieleHano-
verian colours from Papenburgh, and Wal. captured II gen-.
taur. Ship condemned—cargo reserved •
JuNE 15.—This day the Right Hon. Sir W. Scott
proceeded to the adjuc.N:ation of the followitig cases:
Alexander Hamilton, 4.ak master.—ln this case judgment
had been suspended. This was an American ship, with a cargo
of various merchandize, bound from Balt;more to the East Indies,
where she was captured by the Tremendous, Terpsichore, and
Grampus, and carried to Madras, where the master and super-
cargo refused to be examined, and in navigating her from thence
to Bombay, she was lost. The c,nestioo was, whether the cap-
tors were answerable for sue.: loss. The Court wan of opinion that
it was a justifiable capture, and therefore rejected the claim as to
the shil., and condemned the cargo.
Too:shaven !Ind its Dependencies.—This cause originated by a
morition on. the part of the Salamen privateer, against certato
goods, alledged to have been taken in the abovelsbad, belouging
to Denmark, in which the Admiralty Lad intervened, as in case
the property was subject to confiscation, it we:, liable to be con-
demned as Droits to the King, as the letter of marque was viti.
ated by the name of the owner nut being inserted in the certifi-
cate, by width it was obtained. The Court dim-Assad the suit.

• COCKPIT, WHITEHALL, JUNE 10.
~efooie the Most Noble and Right Hoa. the Lords
Commissioners of Appeals in Prize Cguses:
Natio, Stevens master.—This was an American vessel, in
which judgment had been postponed.—Property restored.
Washington, Adams master.--This was also an American ship,
laden with rum, &c. on a trade to the coast a Africa, and was ar-
gued the last Court-day. 'Theis Lordships, in giving judgment in
this case, were of opinion, that the conduct of the master, after
capture, in attempting to rescue the ship, was a sufficient ground
for condemnation, and ordered. accordingly.
Swift, Davies master.—This Americas vessel, laden with pro-
visions, and 10,000 dollars, bound from Baltimore to Barracoa,
was captured by a French privateer, and recaptured by the Fis-
gard, but aftertards wrecked in Sarnana Bay, and part of her
cargo saved, which was restored to the claimants in the Vice-.
Admiralty Court of Jamaica. From this sentence the claimants
apptaled, on the ground that they were entitled to an indemnifi-
cation for the lois orthe 'ships and that part of the cargo which
shared the same fa7e.-;-11teir Lordships affirmed the sentence of
the Court below.
Elizabeth, Trip master.—This Hambro' ship, coming from
'Martinique, was captured by the Camilla privateer, and carried
to Antigua.—Ship restored, and captors condenlned in the costs
of appeals

In the Irish Court of Exchequer, a case was lately
tried which excited considerable interest. The suit
was instituted by the Rev. Dr. CHARLES LINDSAY,
Lord Bishop of KILDARE, as Dean of Christ Church,
V. IGNATIUS CUSSACK, Esq.--7lts object Was to evict
the leases of the defendant and other persons, which,
it was stated, they obtained from the late Dean, Dr.
JONES, in .1786, fairly and openly un.ler the opinion
of eminent Counsel, when the lands were in an un-
cultivated state, and the validity of which leases the
present Dean questioned, considering that the late
Pean exceeded the powers invested_in him by the
Act of Parliament, authorizing him to demise the
said lands. The Jury, after a few minutes consider-
ation, found a verdict for the defendant.
