LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY ay.
CURIOUS CARR.
RA PARTI HOLRLAND. • LUNATIC.
A Commit on of Lunacy having Wired, abont fir
years fince,againft this gentleman, be lately prefented
a petition to the Lord Chancellor, fupported by the
affidavits of feveral refpeaable perfons, who Rated,
that he,bad entirely recovered the ufe of his knelled',
and praying, that an itlue lhould be dire ltd for the
purpofe of trying the faEl. An order was made ae
cordinzly ; and an application was fince made, on the
part et the perfons having the care q.t the lunatic's
perfon and property, that the Chancellor would be
pleafed dire& the trial of the iffue to be had in
London, inflsad of Leiceßer, as before direaed, or
that the trial might be poftponed until the nil' fpring
affizes. The principal ground of this application
was, that Dr. Pedal, who had been formerly ex-
amined on the inqueß, by which Mr. Holyland was
found a lunatic, and whole teflimony principally
went to induce that finding, now refided in London;
and, from particular circumtlances, could not attend
at the next Leicefter affixes. Mr. Hcilyland having
prefented the prefent petition againft that application,
Mr. ALEXANDER, in fupport of the petition, uric-
ed; that the iffue lhould be directed to be tried at
Leicefter, as there were upwards of thirty witneffis
refident in that, and the adjoining county, whole evi-
dence, though of the molt Material nature, Mr. Ho.
lyland mutt be entirely deprived of, as his property
was not fufficiently great to allow the expence of
bringing them to London. He did not think the
abfence of Dr. Perfea would be in the leaß prejodi-
cial to the cafe of the oppofite party, as he, on the
part of Mr. Holyland; was very willing to forego
the advantage of crofs-eiamining him, and to al-
low his affidavit to be read as evidence on the trial,
if the Court lhould fo order. As to putting off the
trial of the iffue, until next fpring affixes, a period
of nearly ten months, he was convinced his Lordiltip
would not make any (itch order, as it would fubjea
Mr. Holyland to be deprived of his liberty until that
time ; while it was pofitively faorn, in the affidavits
of feveral refpeaable perfons, that his Laity was per-
fealy re-eflablithed.
Mr. Rome:Ay on the fame fide, fubmitted, that
the Ate °mold be tried at Leiceller, where all the
witneffes refuted, and that it ought to be had as loon
as poilible, as it was evident, both from the affida-
vita and from the depofitions of Dr. Perfea, on the
original inqueft, that Mr. Holyland was now in his
perfea fenfes. The Learned Doaor' he raid, had
Rated, that Mr. Holyland was perfealy Cane in every
particular, except one, and that was an unconquer-
able diflike to his wife, as, whenever the appeared in
the room where he was, he always burg out into the
molt extravagant paroxyfm of madnefs, which, anlefs
immediately checked, would very much endanger
the perfunal fafery of Mrs. Holyland. This only
caufe of madnefs was now removed, as that Lady
had died about three years fince, and of courfe, as
there was no danger of her ever appearing to trouble
him again, lie mutt now exercife his faculties in the
fame mancer he had done before the difeafe took
potTeffion of his mind, and there was no danger of a
relapfe. The Learned Gentleman concluded by
laying, that the prefent Commiffion was of no ufe in
the world, as the alledged lunatic was not taken care
of, if there was any aeceffity, by the perfons appoint-
' ed, but was allowed to go about the world wherever
he pleafed ; however, as it was at any time in their
power to take him np and throw him into conflate-
ment, he hoped his Lordfhip would direa the due
to be tried at the next Leicefter affizes.

Mr. PFOCIOT, on the part of the Committee ap•
i pointed to take care of the perfon and property of the
lunatic, faid, that be underdone!, !ince the death of
Mrs. Holyland, his antipathy with refpeft to her was
transferred to other people, and, as the property
was taken very good care of, and no danger of the
lunatic's liberty being taken from him fo long as he
conch:Rad himfelf quietly, he thought the trial might
be poftponed until the fpring affizes.
Ths Loan Cmancatt.oa faid he did not wins to
continue the rearaint of a Commiffion on any fob•
jee, when there were grounds to fuppofe it thould
be removed : and though it often happened, that
when the Court had removed the rearaint, they were
afterwards obliged to ilfue our another Commiffion ;
yet, as there was a doubt whether the man was
at prefent a lunatic or not, be thought it belt that
the queltion fhould go to a Jury, and that the Court
thouhl run the chance of bring obliged hereafter to
iffue nut a froth Commiflion. The opinion of medi.
cal men was, in Inch cafes, he conceived very necef-
fary ; but he certainly would not defer this hi:finds
ten months longer for the opinion of Dr. Perfeft ;
as any other medical man, who would converfe wits
him, and know the points in reference to which Mr.
Holyland was infane, might, after having an hater.

. .
'view with Mr. Holyland, be enabled to give
tory teflimony before a jury... If it was neceffary, be
thought the affidavits of Dr. Perfeß &NM-be reed as
evidence on the trial. which muR takiPAce, *Ave
nest Leiceßer
Mr. JOHNSTON, for the CornmitteeMirfied to 'his
Lordfhip, that he did not think the itould wane the
proncrty of Mr. Holyland by trying tbe iffue.
The Loki, CHANzILLOIt f.tid, if they did not with
to go to trial, he fliould,be informed of it on Mondays
as it was neceffary come other affidavits ffiould be
made. before he could fuperfede the Commiffion.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 17.
LTNCH AND (WHIRR O. BARKLAY AND CO.
This was an ad ion brought to recover the film of
38361. being the proceeds of the (hip the Vrow Char.
lotte, and her cargo.
Mr. GartßOW, for the Plaintiffs. Hated, that they
were Spaeth merchants refiding at Cadiz, the De-
fendants were their agents in this city, and this ac-
tion was brought to recover the proceeds of the (tip
in queilion, which had come to the Defendants hands.
In the year 5798 the Vrow Charlotte failed from Ca-
diz for the Well Indies, with a valuable cargo; a pe-
riod when this country was at war with Spain, and
iu the courfe of her voyage was captured by a Bri-
title man of war and carried into Halifax, where the
was condemned as lawful prize by the High Court
of Admiralty. Being warrghted American proper
ty, belonging to Mail. Neal and Getty, of Bolton,
merchants and citizens of the United States, an ap-
peal was made to the Superior Court of Admiralty'
of this kingdom, and, after a ferious inveligation, it
appeared that all the documents on board the vela
warranted the eonclufion that the (hip and cargo
were American property and not Sparta ; the Court
at'cordingly decreed reditntion to the owners, and
ordered the captors to bring in the proceeds, which
were received by Metes. F'orefight, Smith, and Co.
of Halite:, and by them tranhaitted to the Dcfen-
dents, on account of Mai:. Neal and Catty, who
were the agents for the Plaintiffs, from America to
this country, and not the poi/secede, as appeared by
the fhip's vouchers. Neal end Gaut falling into in.
folvent circumilances, the Plaintiffs attached the mo.
ney in the Defendants hands, who now refuted to
give it up ; but upon what grounds the Learned
Counfel was at a lots to griefs, as he (could produce
fevend letters from the Defendants, admitting the
money to belong to the Plaintiffs, promiGng to remit
it, and in fume inflames offering to appropriate it to
their ufe.

Thofe letters being produced and proved, and
other necefary, proofs pot in ;
Mr. ERMINE, for the Defendiroti, bbferved. that
Meffrs. Barkley and Co. were the ftmng iron chell in
which this money was depot-lied, and it was only for
the Court and Pry to unlock it. If one lenience,
which his Learned Friend (Mr. Garrow) Hated, had •
caught his Lordfhip's ear, this caufe must have been
decidectut the very outlet. It was one of the molt
impudent caufes that ever came into Guildhall, and
it would cut down ill rule and order, and all princi-
ple, if this action could be maintained., The Plaintiffs
were Spanifh fubjeas, an alien enemy, at war with
this country, and had mafked this cargo under tho
name of Neal and Gutty, Citizens of the United States
of America. The invoice, the bill of lading. at. were
all made out in their name purpofely to deceive the ,
Admiralty, and prevent their proceeding to condem-
nation. It had been Paid of that Court of Admiralty,
that it was all fiflt which came to their net: this might
be Paid by perfcrns ignorant of the fubjea ; but they
bad fo many and fo much better opportunities of
knowing than this or any Court, the Drifts to which
they were driven to conceal property, and the man-
ner in which it is matked; the Court at Halifax was
fully intlifted in the condemnation. In confequence
of the application from Neal and Getty, and from
the reprefentations which were made to the Defen.
dants, they undertook to profecute the Appeal, and
the enlightened who tried the cattle could not
decide in a*-other way than they have done from
the vouchers it appeared to be American property.
and it was a wife and jolt policy to pay the Ilrifteft
attention to the claims of the fabjeas of the United
States, with whom we are in filch dole bonds of
amity and frieneffhip. The matter was fo dezteronfly
managed, that the Lords of the Admiralty were de-
ceived; but if it had been known, the captors would
certaioly be entitled to rellitution: upon thefe grounds
then the Defendants mutt be held refpontible to the
captors. If this could be fupported, it would eßablifh
the moil fatal precedent, and we might lay all our
(hips up in ordinary; the privateers need never fail
out of the harbour, if matked property was to pats
as neutral.

Lord Essraamtovott" My difficulty is as to the
letter, (eying, he would pot the ibm to the credit of
his account : this agreement clogs me."
Mr. Easels s—" I take it, my Lord, the Plaiotiffk
muft thew their property in the Vrow Charlotte.—
The fentence condemns her as the property of Neal
and Getty, but it is Paid they contented to the appro-
priation : this would be enough to entitle the Plain-
tiff to recover; bat the quellion is, whether the
Court can try this anion at all ? The Plaintiff is a
fubjeft of Spain, the property 'flatbed, and the Court
impofed upon. The Defendants were in ignorance
of the ma& at the time of the letter fpecifying the
fum, and Neal and Getty were then the claimants ;
and if they were to pay the money over, it would be
in breach of faith with the affignees of Neal and
Getty ; but i° ;:in to your Lordfhip, Can this cafe be
open to fuch a Plaintiff e
Lord Etssascutoucc—" I cannot fee a pure par-
ty before me, it is a molt 'hocking and fcandalrua
fraud upon the captors. At what time was the ac-
tion brought ; was it in time of peace or war r
Mr. EILSKINE-•••" Lag Ealler Term, my Lord."
Mr. G.IIIROV/ replied, the contraft was made in
time of peace.
Lord ELLeasoaoucc—i, You mutt fhew him to
be retident in an enemy's country at the time."
The proceedings of the Court of Admiralty being
produced; it appeared that the contra& was made its
1798; the fhip failed turn the port of Cadiz, in
time of war ; and the Plaintiffs, Meas. Henry and
Thomas Lynch, were then, and (till continued ref'-
dent at Cadiz.
