Sir Jwiw FERNS, Knt. WM. ALF XANDER, JOHN
AR MI r, arid THOS. NEEDHAM, lifqrs. Directors
of the Sun Infurance Company, before a Spe-
cial Jury.

Mr. BARTON opened the Plaintiff's cafe. Ile
raid, it relied on a cleelaration as to a policy of
infurance on the lift of the late Thomas Whaley,
Efq. which fa out with the ufual averments, in a
demand for I sod. Defendants pleaded the z,e-
nerai Wise.
Mr. CURRAN commenced the fhttement of
Plaintiff's cafe, by laying that the late Mr. Whaley
was indebted in a conliderable fun of money to
his client, Sir J. Ferns, who from that liberality
and kind confideration for the difficulties of otli'crs,
which he conceived hail umfornilv attemlal hi;
condua throngh life, did acceot of a le:dement on
a film considerably under waat was due to him
from Mr. W:ialey ; but, in order to fecure thh; re-
duced amount, it became meet: lay to infure that
gentleman's life, for which pittpaiit, Sir Juhn, ac-
compabied by his clerk, Mr. Heny, met Mr.
Whaley at the Sun Inivrance 011 ice—there Mr.
Needh.im, one of the Directors, received them.—
Mr. Campbell, Secretary to the Company, was al-
io prefent, who ;diced Mr. Whaley, preparatory to
negociating lititnefi on which he came, what
his ape was ? He replied 33 years. Mr.
Sir John's clerk, then obferved, that he had luater
make it 34, /which could be no inconvenience to
eittkr patty, as nothing was meant but the utmoli
cancluar and fair dealiag. To this Mr. W. alfent-
ed. It was here, Mr. Curran fltid, material to
obfcrve, rhat in the printed feliente of their Wi-
nes, published by the Company, they mlll'ol'lll/
marked an integral number of -years in a calcula-
tion for ages, not admitting fraCctional divtlions of
time ; fo that any man reading
.one of dude print-
ed papers, would clearly perceive that he would
not be permitted to add to the integral number of
years conliituting his age, the number of months,
weeks, or in addition thereto, if any Inch el-
ided. On examining Mr. W. to this point, on
the tsth of Anguil, he returned, as before
' dated, his age 4 years—bnt on a fubltquent en-
quiry, the DCfeiniants found that be had com-
pleted his 34th yiar on the preceding February.
It was here agrced between Counfel on rat tl+
fides, in in der to tinrilify the cafe, and fhortcn the
proceedings on it, that his Lordfhip Mould refcrve
far argumeut the following point : Whether Mr.
Whaley, infusing his life in Auguli, at 34 years,

having completed the tame the February before
he an aft of fraud, and capable of vitiating the
policy, or an averment coming within the intent
of the fame ?

John Heny being fworn, and examined by Mr.
G. Poxsoxay, depofed, that he was in the employ-
ment of Sir. J. Ferns in Anvil', 'Boo, and did at-
tend bins to the office of the Sun Infuraace Corn-
limy, to make A policy on the life of the late Mr.
Whaley—that when arrived at the office he met
Mr. Needham, one of the Defendants in this caufe
and a Diretlor of the Company, there, alto Mr.
Campbell, Secretary to the Company, to whom he
mentioned his haulers ; Mr. Whaley came there
by appointment, to whom Mr. Needham turned
in converfation with the freedom of an.intimate,
and made no inquiry of witnefs refpeding his
age; witnefs him fclfthen applied aloud to Mr. Wha-
Ile)/ in the pretence of Mr. Needham and Sir John
Ferns, what his age might have been ? He replied,
33 years—they did not infure him of that age—
witnels then went over to the Secretary to infure
him at 34. years, who oh ferved to him thathelwasright
and that it was better to be at the fafe fide—he
was accordingly infured at 34 years—witnefs faw
a printed kale of infurance at the office. [Here
be identified one prefented to him, either as that
he taw, or one fimilar to it, which was immedi-
ately depofited with the Regiller of the Court.]
The infurancc, witnefs further depofed, was com•
pieced on the day he ftated, the 13th of Auguft,
but he did not receive the policy for many days
fucceeding. Witnefs aficed the Secretary, after
making the policy, if there was any thing further
to be done ? who replied, there was only to pay
the premium; he accordingly paid it, but was
told that the policy was not ready, but it ihould
be fent to his office. After tome days had elapf-
eJ, and no policy few, witnefs went for it to the
office of the Infurance Company—it was there
filled for him, by order of the Company, he pie-
fumed, witnefs having nothing uhatfoever to do
with the filling of it. He would not he permitted
to take the policy without figning an averment of
it. [Here the averment was produced to wand's,
who recognized his lignature.] It was then, to-
gether with the policy and teak of infurance, de-
patted with the Court, to be hereafter referred tn.

CENNEDY V. CoNDoN.

This cafe was opened by the Hon. Mr. YELVER•
TON, who laid it was an anion on a promiffory
note for z9l. Sc. 4d. broul.;:it 1:y the indorfee againft
the inclorier. There WAS another count for a pro.
miffory note for the fame amount, fimilarly
cir-
cumitanced; a third 1.. r the fum of 621. ts. money
lent and advanced; and a fourth count; on all of
which the his damages at 3001. to
which defendant rleade,l the general Mite.
Mr. WHITESTOME itated the plaintiff's cafe. He
raid the maker and indorfer of the notes in queftion
were brotherc. The maker, a man in mercantile
buriners in this city, became embarralred in the
year 1799, which induced the defendant to offer
his perfonal feenrity by indorfing notes paffed by
him to his creditors on a compofition for his debts,
which they agreed to receive,amonnting to 123.6 d.
in the pound. The plaintiff was one of the cre-
ditors, and reaJily came into the compofition pro-
pored, nn whicit be received four notes, indorfed
by Ole d:.'endant, payable in three, fix, nine, and
fifteen months, for his feveral demands. The two
&ft of the notes, when payable, were regularly
dircharged ; but when the third became due, the
maker of the notes, being involved in new diffi-
culties, refuted payment; on which the indorfer
was applied to, without laving regular notice on
him. He was reminded of the plaintiffs alacrity
to come into the me:dares offered by his brother,
and of his forbearance on this fecond dirappoint-
ment. The defendant, in reply, expreffed a grate-
ful fenr: of his kiodnefs, and laid that he should
he p tid in full at the very earlieft opportunity.—
Bet;,i c the fourths note fell due, the maker became
bllnk:

john Madden proved the maker's hand-writing
to two nozcs prefented to him; raw the defendant
write wli.m he came forward to indorfe notes as
teen: icy for his brother, at a meeting of his ere-
-1 dit after hz became irdblvent.
Thoma Daniel knew Thomas Condon, who was
a tiacicr in this city, and recolle9s his failure ;
knows his brother arch. The witnefs here, by his
tc tin i mon y, fit pport ed the ftatement of Mr:White-
, tlone, adding, that the notes in queftion were made
payalile at his, the witnefs's, houfe.
Mr I-It ccha fit up a defence by appealing to
the fedings of the Jury on the harcithips his client
had already encountered by paying 3001.—a1l he
was wcrth—for his unhappy brother.
I Lord Aroxmose, in charging the Jury, raid,
I that he hoped he need not remind the gentlemen
that they were not to find a verdia on the ftrcngth
of their feelings, but iiiould merely confine them-
fclves to the evidence adduced before them. As
to tin: affumption of a debt, after due notice had
been onikaeft, it was, he conceived, abfolute, po-
I faivc, and unqualified, and determined to be fo
in this Court at various times. As the law pre-
fumes, that'every man takes cognizance of the
law, it ‘:as not neceffary that the defendant (honld
have his mind poifeffed with greater confidence as
to what lie was about, than other men in fimilar
circundlances. The reafon why due notice be-
comes necellary to an indorfer is, that he might
have timely intimation to make provifion for the
difcharge of the note; but in this cafe, the indorfer

COURT OF IEINOI BENCH, LONDON, FEB. S.

THI 11110 V. WIDDRYNGTOX AND OTHERS.

This was an information again( the Defendants
for a confpiracy. The defendant Widdrington had
fet »p a claim, that.he was the heir to the Oates
of the late Lord Widdrington, and which arc now
in the- potl'eflion of Mr. Standilh, in the county of
Durham. In this claim he was allifted by Sharp-
lefs, an Attorney, and two perfons of the names of
Groom and Weaver. Thefe perfons, after promil-
ing to lower the tenants rents, and make their con-
ditions more comfortable, prevailed on them tt,
acknowledge Widdringtrn as the owner of the
elates, and he took poreftion of the manor bottle
accordingly.
Mr. WOOD (hewed cattle agaiqft the rule, with
reipeet to Groom and Weaver, who, he Elated, had
been the dopes of Widdrington, conceiving his
claim to be juft. They had gone down into the
country with him as fpeElators of the Wine:, and
when an intimation was given them from a relpec-
table quarter that they were accting wrong, they
immediately dcfdted. They therefore threw them-
(elves on the mercy of the Court, and trufted Mr.
Standith would not prefs the matter againit them,
as what they had done proceeded folcly from ig-
norance, and not with a view to defraud Mr Stan-
difh.—With rcfpeet to the other two •lcfcndanis,
