perfon to fopport Ms mother. Sine() that time, the
annuity was difcon-iinnetl, and the lads left without
my provilion for the rapport of her family. Subic-
quentlY to thefe proceedings, the Plaintiff received a
notice from the trutlees, that ever anxious to do what
was jittl, they were determined to have their accounts
cleared in •a C•atrt of Equity. The Connfel farther
Hated an admiflion on the part of the Defendants,
that the Defendants, during the minty-fix or twenty-
feven years they had remained in tro:t, received
nn .account of the laid 'cult luau to the amount of
t 53,01301.
The Ilatements made.of the various branches of
thefe accounts, and thcit application, are extremely
intricate, tedious, and voluminous and in this ex.
parte hate of the proceedings, we Mould not think
ourselves warranted in repeating the arguments and
comments of Counfel on the conduit of the Dsfen-
dant s, and the hardfhip of depriving this family of the
pecuniary means of maintaining themfelves, through
all the dilat'ry and expenfive prnceffes to which they
were likely to he fubjefted. They admitted, that
they could not be prepared for encountering agene-
ral account of all the tranfaftions, of a colonial trade
for inch a reties of years ; but fubmitted, that they
had made out fufficient ground for inducing his
Lord!hip to order immediately, that Mrs. White
be paid off the arrears of her annuity, and
that the Plaintiff fhould receive from the trullees
an
account of the different (urns they had received for
the trails with the manner of their appropriation ;
and that. fhonld his Lordlhip think it proper to do
the different balances remaining in their hands,
flioulti,be paid into Court.
'l'kts c inf.!, with the fpeeches of Counfel upon it,
and the reading df fach parts of the Defendants'
anfwers as it was thought would make in favour of
the Plaintiff, occupied the whole of the day.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL, Mr. ROMILLY, and
others are employed fur the Defendants.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. It.
The Court was occupied, the greater part of the
day. upon law arguments.
SHARP ¶0 GLADSTOW.
This was an aelion for money had and received
upon a Policy of Int-mance npon freight, the (hip
Jane, from I'eterfburgh and Eltineur, to London.—
The caufe was twice• tried before, and argued laft
term at great length. There had been an abandon.
ment by the allured, to the underwriters, upon (hip
and cargo, and the queftion was, whether the un-
derwriters had a right to make a deduflion of cer-
tain charges from the total lofs.
Mr. PARR, for the Defendant, argued the care at
great length. The (hip in quetitua had been detain-
ed at St. Pcterfburgh, by order of the Ruffian Go-
vernment, the captain and crew fent up the country
and the cargo taken out. This detention not being
ofany hoftile nature, they returned to the (hip. end a
great part of the cargo was re-flipped, and fame
other goods put on hoard, to load her completely.
In the mean time, the allured had abandoned her to
the underwriters, and, on the !hip's return to Eng.
land, the Captain, who was a part owner, made va
viols charges for occurrences during his abfence,
namely, wages and provilions for the crew, during
their detention and voyage home; pod charges and
freight ; wear and tear of the (hip during the voyage,
&c. &c. All of which, the Learned Counfel con-
tended. he was not entitled to claim, as againfi the
underwriter. ; in fupport of which argument, be re-
cited feveral recent cafes.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL, on the other hand,
admitted, ,hat the total lofs had been paid by the
underwriters, upon the abandonment of the (hip and
cargo to them; but, from that moment, they only
became interetted in her ; if the (Lip had been lolt,
this quellion could never and, at all events,
the Plaintiff was emitled to filtoole. The voyage
home was on account of the nnderwriters folely, and
they were bound to pay thefe neceffary expenditures.
The Court confidered, that what had been dime,
and the expencee which had been incurred, were for
the benefit of both parties. The erpences of freight,
wages, and provifions, doring the detention and
voyage home, and putt charge.:, Ihould he allowed.
Their Lordikips therefore pion-mnced judgment
for the Plaintiff as to Ode points. The specific
amount to be referred to J. P. Hankey, Efq. for his
award.

HICKS V. CIIATTFRLY.
Mr.CLARKi. moved the Court, that the Defendant
in this cafe might be difcharged, upon filing common
hail ; and that the Plaintiff, might be obliged to an-
fwer the matters of an affidavit.
The Plaintiff was an Atto-ney of the Court, and
bad brought his action for zoo'. againil the Defeo. I
dant, for holding a tortious poffe(fion Upon V hich,
he made an affidavit of the debt, and caufed the De-
fendant to be arrened f..r the Cum of zoo). This
tortious polfeffinn, was the withholding of the key of
a hail door of premiles that the Defendant had nn
right to deliver itp,upcn which the a.frion was brought.
he Court granted a (tale to thew caufe, upon the
whole.of the application.
