COURT OP RlN..'s BENCH, JUL? I.
L•'tD s. 1,118,111/11 V.COVINTRY•

This was an ililie fr..nt the Court of Chancery, rn,
laving the valiiity of a Codicil to the Will of the lat,
Lord Beaulieu, Leth June. 1797.
At en early peri.d, it appeared. that the Willi
Lord, being dein us of leaving his fortune to the
younger branch cf Come noble family, had related
that of Lord Coventry. In conlequence of an accef
Gon of wealth, however. coming t.o that family from
another quarter, and the family of the Duke of Leeds,
to who m he was related, having fullained thine inffes,
he changed his mind, and executed the Codicil in
qneflhis, in favour of the prefent Plaintiff. In Feb.
)790, a Commiffinn of Lnnaey was taken out againtl
the TenAtor ; and the (willful was, whether he was
in found mind on the Lath of Juste preceding, when
the Codicil was executed ?
To prove his Lordfhip's fanity, Donors Pitcairne
and Warren were called, who Ilarcci that his Lord
Ship laboured under extreme debility of nerves, and',
they thought it likely to terminate in infinity, which
had actually been the cafe ; but at the petiod when
the codicil was written, it was their opinion that his
Lordthip was of found mind and underllanding. Se-
veral other witneffes gave a Similar fort rif tellimony.
On the other fide, all his Lnrdfhip's domeflics were
called, who Paid that he would get out of his carri-
age, and make his coachman walk betide him, telling
every one he mot that he kept a coachman who could
not drive, and that in confequence be was compelled
to walk on foot. He would alfo keep them up all
night, call them continually into his room, and on
one occafica kicked them out again. In fhort, to ufe
their own expreflion, " they were Cure liii Lordfhip
was wad, becatife he could not be governed by his own
fereasts." The trial occupied nearly the whole of the
dly, and terminated in a verdi& for the plaintiff,
eflablifhing the codicil, and his Lordfhip's found
mind at the time of making it.

. .
JOLT 12.-...1101T011 V. SLACIET.
This was an anion for goods fold and delivered,
amounting to 411.
In this caufe a part of the demand in quell:on
cone:fled of goods fold and delivered to the Defen.
dant's wife, while fhe was a few foie, and unmarried,
and as the aelion was brought againff the hatband
alone,
Lord ELL 111110.617611 told the kir'', that in order
to recover the whale of his demand, the Plaintiff
ihould have joined the wife altng with the hatband,
in the action ; but not having done fo, he could only
Dow have a verdict for the goods fold linoe the mar.
riage took place. The Jury found their verdict ac-
cordingly.

V. PATIJCIC•
This was en aeliun of debt, brought under the flit-
tote of the gth Ann, chap. IS, which provides, that
any perfon toting upwards of la. at play, at any one
fitting, &all recover the overplut. The Plaintiff
charged the Defendant with having won upwards of
tol. from bins at play, at one James's, who kept the
Huffar's Head public houfe. But it appearing in
evidence, that no more than a guinea was won or Intl
- at the time dated in the declaration, on either fide,
the Plaintiff was nonfuited.

WTI V. CIOTTI.

This was an aiftion brought to recover ?fill. Isis.
being the value of a package loft by the negligence
of the Defendant's fervant.
Sir V. Grass Rated, that the Plaintiff was the chief
mate of the Walmer Caine Ealt Indianian, and the
Defendant was proprietor of Rage coaches, at the
Green Dragon Inn, Bitbopfgate-Itreet. The package
in queßion confifted of a quantity of millinery and
haberdafhery, for the India market, and the Defen•
dant had engaged to convey it in his own cart, to
Dartford. and there fafely deliver it for the Plaintiff.
The Defendant's fervant fet out with the cart and
package, in the month of December, at fix o'clock in
the morning, while it was yet dark. on his way to
Dartford; and in paffing through Kent-flreet, he
difeovered the tail of his cart down, and the package
gone. It further appeared, that the Defendant cir-
culated a hand bill, offering a reward of so guineas
to recover it, and matte every other poffiuteezertion
in hie power for that purpore.
On the part of the Defendant it was contended,
that this was not the cafe of a ermmon easier, as
the Defendant was not in the habit of letting out his
cart for hire, it being only ofed for his own private
porpofis ; and at the time in quellion, let out at the
Plaintiff's own particular requeti, and as an aft of
friendfhip, in which all disc diligence had been ufe(l
by the Defendant. But dig was to be confidered as
coming within the meaning of the cafe of a common
carrier, then the Defendant could not be liable, as
the package in queffi^o was above the value of sl.
and not entered and paid fur as fuch, according to the
notice let up in the Defendant's office.
Lord ES.LISISfoItOUGH explained to the Jury the
nature of the law in such cafes ; and they, after a
Ihort confultation, found a verchtt of ifitl. r 9s. for
the Plaintiff.

In confequence of the inattention.of the attoreies
to their duty in Court, many records were with-
drawn on Ftiday, and about ten caufes frock r•ff the
litl. itutti ling all the legal expenfes to the patties,
without the interpolition of a Britilb July. Lord
°notion, on that medium, Lid, that the con-
duit of the attornies was &undid, and be *deiced
the parties injured by their negligence, to apply to
the Court next term, that the Sackers might be re-
rpontible for the cons in there 'Mons thus rendered
ilellattal. On Saturday a fimilar inattention, though
not to the lime extent, was (hewn ; on w:tich his
Lordthip obforved, that no attorney, guilty of this
difregard to his public duty, ought to be allowed to
attend the Court.; and that, during the whole of
bis experience, he never met wiflr a concurrence of
eircun.flances fr contrmouhns to the Court, and fo
prejudicial to the parties. It may not be generally
known, that if an Advocate ur Attorney betray the
cattfe of his client, ur being retained, 'meat to ape
pear at the trial, by which the caufe mil:carries, he is
liable to an attion n the cafe fur a reparation to the
injured client. This dojrine is grounded on the
equity of the Statutes of Weaminner 2. • 13 Edw. 1.
a. It, and t. Rich 11. c. it. Sec Final. 188. •
