himself by flight ; a pawnbroker's bay attempted tor
stop him by the skirt of the coat, but he freed himself
from the boy's hold, cut his cheek with his fit, and
ran on again ; at length he took shelter in a sort of

into custody. The first witness was positive that he
never lost sight of the prisoner from doe time of his

Louse in the vicinity: of Spital-fields, and had those
notes, wrapped up in a piece of brown paper. 'He
took them from his pocket, and the prisoner desired
to look atsthem. The prosecutor incautiously handed
them to him in the brown paper ; the prisoner at that
time returned the parcel, but had dexterously ex-
tracted the contents. The prosecutor in a few minutes
afterwards examined the envelope, missed the notes,
and went in quest of the pritoner, who was secured
the same evening—Guilty.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 5.
. VACGHTON RRAY.
This was a petition by the plaintiff to procure an
order upon the defendant, the guardian of four young
ladies who reside at the house of Miss Willock, who
keeps a boarding-school at Kensington, to compel
him to permit these ladies to visit their sisters during
th- holidays. One of the sisters is married to the
plaintiff, who resides in Warwickshire, the other to
a' Mr. Stevenson, who resides at Lincoln. This case
had come before the Court in term time ; but it was
then left 'undecided, in order to give time to the guar-
dian to state his objections.
Affidavits were now produced on the part of the
guardian and Miss Willock, which state, in substance,
that the plaintiff had prevailed upon the lady who
was now his wife, to accompany him to Scotland, I
where they were married without his having made
any settlement upon her, notwithstanding the efforts
of the guardians to secure that object ; that he had
some brothers, and that two-of the young ladies
were of the ages, the one of nineteen and the other of
seventeen; that the plaintiff had spoken in disrespect-
ful terms of the guardian, and that the Lather, while
alive, had kept the ladies at the house of the school-
mistress during the holidays.
No objection was made to Miss Willock's school
Qn either side ; the only object of the plaintiff was, as
his Counsel (Sir S. Romilly) expressed, to prevent
the young ladies from being kept close prisoners at
Miss Willock's.
The LORD CHANCILLOR thought it extremely de-
sirable that a free communication should exist be-
tween the sisters ; but at the same time,. the proceed-
ing of the plaintiff, in respect to his own marriage,
was a circumstance to be considered. He observed,
however that the guardianship was a joint appoint-
'meat of three persons ; and it was hinted that one of
them had-renounced. He wished that fact to be as-
certained before he decided—for if one of the guar-
dians had renounced, there was no guardianship.—
He therefore ordered the case to be mentioned again
the day after the second seal (Monday next)..

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 4.
CRIMPS.-DICKINSON v. PAAIS. •
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re-
cover 261. being money laid out, and work and labour
done for the defendant, in procuring the liberation of
his son from a king's ship, in which he was enter:d
as a common seaman.

It appeared that the young man was a little wild,
and, in a. moment of thoughtlessness, entered the ser-
vice. His friends discovering his situation, applied
to the Board of Adn.tiralty for his discharge, which was
obtained on the usual condition of providing two sub-
stitutes.' For this the plaintiff, who is a crimp, was
employed under an especial agreement. He did pro-
vide the substitutes, and got the money agreed upon,
and the young man was discharged.
After he was discharged, the plaintiff sent in an
additional charge to the amount above stated, which
the defendant resisting, this action was brought.
The evidence, however, which the plaintiff produ-
ced did not prove enough to shew that the charges
which composed the items of this new claim were
fairly founded.

Lord ELLE-Nisoßorcu, in his charge to the Jury,
remarked, that it did not appear to him that any of
those charges were justly incurred ; fr.r surely, after
the substitutes were once provided, there ended all the
contract, and all the inttrkrence of the person em-
ployed in procuring them.
Under the impression of these observations, as well
as that which the avhole of the evidence made on the
Minds of the Jury, they found a verdict for the defen-
dant.
