COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jaw. 19.
Sittings in Banco.
ILATHRONE v. DItAILZIPORD.
Mr. Staorawr Jonas moved to set aside the rule obtained in this
ease. The facts were these :—Two brothers, John and David MAk !.
ford, were partners in a house at Manchester, and David was a awl,
in a London house also. The difficulty of the ease arose out of this
circumstance. The house at Manchester had given a cheek upon the
London house for the payment of Mr. Cooper. for whom the plaintid,
Itathbone, cashed it. Cooper afterwards became a bankrupt ; t*:e
plaintiff then threatened to proceed against the Manchester house u
less the check should be Instantly paid. A conversation had brat
proved which had taken place between David Drakeford, who wastittl,
in London, and another, in which he said he would write to Alau-
chester and urge his brother John to pay the demand.
The Court held. that aa David Drakeford was a partner in both th •
firms, and that as he had undertaken to use his influence with the Man.
cheater house to pay the check, he must be understood to have acted a•
a partner in that firm; therefore, the rule must be made absolute.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 19. ,
LAMB V. BURKETT.
dr. Ricsrans mewed for a rule to skew cause, why the verdict in
this case should not be est aside. and a new trial granted. The
ease came on for trial What Mr. Baron Bayley, at the tam
Sittings at Guildhall; the Jury found a %edict for the defendant,
and his applisadea, et assess, was on behalf of the plaintiff. It
was as widen el troupes he aessialtag the plaintiff, or in other words,
for leggin semen. The phi was that the plaintiff's conduct wi:,
mamas anddiseederly, soil that be trio punished for the purpose .'f
preserving coda and details WI bested the ship. After the evidence
was given, he did net rest --bilessilt at liberty to say that the conduct of
the pabeaff had set begs' hamper e but from the maw of ex-
ciseman that prevails among the mariners, who are in the habit of
navigating between this country and the gist ladies, it wt.s ,
highly expedant that the question should be set at rest. The
plaintiff was a mariner on board the lisdeby Castle. He did not
mean to contend that when a ship was on the high seas, and when the
Capt. could remise no assistance from any alba source, he was to be pre-
vented froni having recourse to his own power ; and then he might
be justified in inflicting chastisement on the sailors; but when
the ship was anchored in Macao roads, be contended" he bad no autho.
rity to do so. At the time the punishment took place, there was no mu-
tiny whatever; and when Cretan was about to be punished, the plaintiff
asked the Captain what power he had to puniab the men ? It was clear
that the Captain should not exercise his arbitrary power to punish with-
out the interference of his officers. He submitted that the Captain's
power to punish men was confined to the periods when the ship was on
the high seas; If be was justified in flogging men in Blame Roads, where
they had been at anchor for many weeks, and for an offence which was
said to have been committed before, and fur which the man had II:. n
kept in hens, he would be equally juified in flogging a turn in Marpte
Roads, or at the East India Dock-gate. Whatever power the Captain
of a ship in the service of the East India Compaq had. must be pits -
eased b_y the Captain of a ship in any other I-peeks of mole.
Mr. Baron BATLEY read his note,. of the evidence.
Lord L•onsuits• proceeded to say that he was of opinion, upon all
the circumstances of the case, that the Jury had come to a proper con-
clusion, and therefore the rule must be refused.
The rest of the Court concurred.
His Lordship then retired to sit in the Exchequer Chamber.
