Taylor Vaughan, and two or three others. The
I plaintiff's language was, 44 I the underwriter., did'
undertake to pay you, Messrs. Gordon and Murphy,
3001. in consideration of ynurhaving paid mettle pre.
mium, or on your undertaking to pay it., Your ship,
the Neutrality, set out on a voyage from Spain to
Vera Cruz, with liberty to touch at the Havannah,
and provided she should be lost, I, Mr. Taylor
Vaughan, undertake to make good the loss to you.
The ship was unfortunately lost, and my conscience
tells me this was a voyage, and a trading with the
enemies of our country ; and GOD forbid I should as-
sist any body to do a thing so wicked : and though
the King, by his licence, thought he had been able
to permit me to do this, yet my conscience will not
allow me to pay a loss contrary to the lath of Charles
the Second, chapter 18th. This licence was not
worth a farthing, and my conscience will not permit
me to pay." Such-was the ground on which the case
was first argued.
Another objection, which was made to Messrs.
Gordon and Murphy was, that they had not complied
with the terms of the licence. The voyage was from
Barcelona in Spain, to Vera Cruz ; and those gentle.
men were to send out a certain quantity of British
manufactures, which in truth became impossible ;
and they were to bring home dollars for his Majesty's
sei•vice. Mr. Vaughan having succeeded in re-
sisting the payment of the loss in the Neutrality, bad
now brought this action for the premiums in insuring
It. The Learned Counsel entertained no doubt that
every thing whiCh he had stated of Mr. Vailighan,,hast.
heen commtinkaned tn. this gentleman by Ais•owts
Counsel. The grotinds on which he (the Arroaxetr.l
GEN-saat).insisted that the Plaintiff had made out no
-case, were; 'first that iliefolicy. which Mr. Vaughan
had suhiCribed, was illagtl on the face of •itebing
for a voyage from Barcelona -to Vera Cruk,lskth
berty touch at-the Havinnah, andlohristklkime
*property from that place. -This voyage iraeillertl
for two reasons t first, because it was a ttadisig with.
ati enemy ; and in the next place..because it sass
bringing home in foreign ships that which could only
be brought into this country in British bottoms. • All
the ships on which these policies were effected, were
either Amerkans or Danes. Mr. Arrotoicv GatNa-
AAL took another, objection which was, that the po-
licy itself made no stipulation for a licence, and there-
fore it was vo.d.; because it purported to protect those
Gentlemen without a licence as well as with one. ,
Lord Eturcacotoucti observed, that that point, to
a certain degree, was new, and asked the • Learned
Counsel on both sides, whether they were willing that
the question should be reduced to that point The
Learned Counsel observed; that that great point never
..was argued, and agreed to put it into the form of a
casih. for consideratton of the Court of King's Bench.
LihniCt 14,44.9n0 eta, thought it a very material
point ; atK-Sh'. Notion would be, supposing a policy
to be effects eflVr tot common terms, at a certain pre-
mium which on the face of it was a void risk, as
contravening the statute, whether that might be made
a good policy by any thing that could be done subse-
quently, but prior to the commencement of the ad-
venture : that would be the question for the consider-
atioe of the Court.

•
Mr. UNDER-SRETUFF *cited, that •he Defendant had r
admittedAke trespass; And the only 'cineiiion was the
quantum of damages—the trespass was not excus-
able,
it was a wilful trespass committed after warn-
ing had been given by the Plaintiff.
The Jury consulted a short time, and returned a
verdict for the Plaintiff.—Damages Fifty Pounds.

SHERIFF'S COURT, JULY rt.
rem.RUNTING.—RIDGR v. SALTII.B. WV.
Mr. HARRIS°, stated that this was a species of ac-
tion which rarely came before a Jury of a county, but.
particularly the county of Middlesex. It was
an action• brought by Mr. Ridge, a gentleman of
large landed property in the neighbourhood of Ede-
ware, against Samuel Salter, Esq. ; and the object of
the action was to recover damages for an injury sus-
tained by the defendant's coming upon the lands of
the plaintiff with hounds and horses, for the purpose
of turning out and hunting krix,..s. The Learned
Counsel observed, that an action like the prese.it
might seem extraordinary to those who considered
hunting as a lawful amusement. It certainly was all
amusement less injurious when enjoyed by those per-
stms at a distance from town, who having landed pro-
perty themselves, knew how to partake of the diver-
sion without injuring the property of others ; but it
was a very diiferent thing when such an amusement
was resorted to in the tie4hbourhood of London,
where from-the value of the land, and a variety of
circumstances. the injury far exceeded what could
possibly be sustained in the country. The defendant,
Mr. Salter, was a member of what wail ormerly called
the Berkeley Hunt, and was now a part proprietor of
the pack of hounds which belonged to Lord Berke-
ley when he was living. In the time of Lord Berke-
ley they drew for the foxes at a considerable dis-
tance from London ; and though they did injury, it
Was comparatively trilfing to what was the subject of
the present action. the hounds were now turned
out within ten miles of Landon, and notice was given
Of the time. The consequence was that every horse-
dealer, every clerk, in short every person Who could
procure an animal with four legs and a tail, was sum
.10 attend this Mint, to the amount of perhaps two
hundred w more. These persons having no land of
their own, bad of course but little regard for that of
*hers • and they galloped indiscriminately over the
fields of the plaintiff, to drain which considerable sums
afiffieney had:beet espended ; they had thereby not only
destroyed *effect of the measures he had adopted fur
draining and caltivating his land, but they had ren-
dered the land itself less valuable to the proprietor for
some time to come: Having dwelt more at large on
the natare of the injury, he concluded by trusting
the Jury would give such damages as would prevent
t a repetition of it.
/t was proved that the Defendant had received
notice not to bring his hounds upon the Plaintiff's
lands. It was also proved, thatahe Plaintiff's lands
had been iii an expensive course Of .drainage, which'
had been rendered ineffectual by the trampling of
the horses ; that the Defendant was seen hunting af-
ter he had been warned off ; aod•that the person
who had warned hint, instead of being attended to,
had been threatened with a horse whipping.
Mr. 4TzwART addressed the Jury in behalf of the
Defendint. lie Maintained that hunting. was a law-
ful recreation t that •by the ancient law every man
was • sanctioned: in following the hounds over the
lands of others, doing as little harm as possible. He
.admitted 'that the Defendant had no right .to go upon
the Plaintif's lands to turn out the foxes,- and for
having' done so, he had suffered.judgment by default.
But he felt perfectlY asstired, the Jury Irould not.
Consider this' a ease. which called fur vindictive da-
