That he had been guilty of gross negligence was clear
that he had been guilty of any criminal intention, his
Lordship could not make out. Under all the circum•

0010 ND v. TINDALL.
The hearing of this petition occupied nearly the
whole day. The matter in dispute was the constructi.at
of the will of a person named Gray, by which the bulk
of his property was bequeathed jointly to his sister and
her children, and to the children of his daughter,_ who,
with the knowledge of the testator, lived in a state of
concubinage with the person whom she served in the
capacity of a mqeal, and by whom she hid several
childra. The property claimed by these
children under the will amounted to upwards of LO 00(11.
The. uestion was, whether by the term chi/drat the
property could be taken by the illegitimate progeny of
Miss Gray (described in the will as spinitei); or s he-
they the rule of law, that a bastard is audits Oat, did
not bar their claims ?

The Loan CHAKCILLOR felt very severely the condi-
tion of these claimants. He had been reminded, in the
course of argument, of the declaration of Lord Alvan-
ley, in deciding a case quoted, that he placed his feel-
ings on one side, whilst lax, was on the other ; but he
(the Lord Chancellor) should suffer them to struggle a
little together in this case, before he decided that the
harsh rule of law (however necegary it might: be for
the,sake of-nsnrals, as well as thteuds of justice) should
oust this family of what they expected. His. Lordship
then went through the. Will; in the course of which he
. • . •• •
gave a strengatsitinton as to the probability of the rule
Of law being-too strong. He could give his final de-
cision in a day or two. His Lordship was interrupted
,in the course of tit remarks, by• one of the parties calling
out from•the H4ll, " That's wrong, my Lord."

SOLVE V. COMBER.

His Hottova 'decided in this case, which was part
heard yesterday, that an account should be taken; and
Mr. HIALDp for the plaintiff, agreed that the uansac-
dons preceding that of 1814, should be taken into the
account, except so far as regards the transaction with a

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 7.
WALDO V. MARTIN.'
This was an action on a deed, whereby the defendant
covenanted to accodnt with the plaintiff for half the
profits of the office of bag-bearer in the Pipe-office of the
Coutt, of. Exch..quereresigned by the plaintiff in the de-
fenclaite:s. favour. The plaintiff held ivinther situation
.in the uffice,•which w ,s deemed incompa,iale with that
abagareater, and-he accordingly begged permission to
resign•it, and procured the appointment of the defend:
ant, who made-the stipulation be now. refttsed to fulfil.
To sustain this action, the plaintiff alleged that the office
was saleable, and that the particular arrangement in
iqueition was made with the privity and under the sanc-
tion of 'Mr. Ferrer, the principal of the office, and who
had the right to appoint. The case was tried before
Mr. Justice Bayley, at the Sittings. in jest Term, when it
appeared that the deed was attested by Mt. Udolph,
Ir. Ferries grandson, but be expressed his belief
'that Mr. Ferrer was entirely ignorant of its purport.—.
Mr. Ferrer himself, a Gentleman far advanced in years,
was examined, and declared that he was ignorant of the
arrangement. and that bad be knowri it, he would not
have assented to the appointment of Mr. Martin. He
stated that he had allowed Mr. Waldo to take the office
ander a similar arrangement with his predecessor, Mr.
Hargis; but this was under very peculiar circumstances,
Mr. Harris being cad and incapable from infirmity .of
performing the duties of the situation, and having no
other means of subsistence. The Jury, upon this esi-
dence. found that the appointment was not made wi h'
the authority or knowledge of Mr. Ferrer; and Mr.
Justice Bayley directed a nonsuit, giving leave to the
plaintiff to move for judgment non (Astute wraith",
if the Court should think the issue as found against him
immaterial.
Mr. DiNUAN now moved accordingly for a rule to
chew cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside, and
judgment given for the plaintiff, on two grounds; first,
that even supposing Mr. Ferrer gave no consent, the
issue was not material, if the office were saleable ;
and secondly, that the circumstances under which the
deed was executed. raised i strong pi esurnption that Mr.
Ferrer was mistaken, which affidavits subsequently ob-
tained te •ded to strengthen.
The COUNT held the nonsuit right, as a deception
practised on Mr. Farrer would render the whole contract
founded on it void ; and as there was no sufficient ground
for questioning the propriety of Vie conclusion which
the Jury drew from the evidence of that Gendeman that
such deception existed. They therefore refused the rule.

and Bowley, for a conspiracy to extort money from
Josiah Taylor, by instituting and compromising prose.

were all convicted.
Mr. Denials* said that Smith and Bowley were pre

conceived that ac he was in custody his presence was

. LAW OF MIRCUAWTS AND FACTORS.
The Order of the Day having been read,. -
The Earl of LIVERPOOL, in rising to Move the
second reading of - the Bill for amending the law of
Merchant and Facia, said he should not call upon their
Lordships to consent to a measure which was not
founded on those principles of equity which ought to
govern all commercial transactions. If the question
related merely to Principal and Factor, it would be one
of no difficulty, as there was no doubt that the Factor
ought to abide by the directions of his Principal. But
the system was grown far more complicated. in conse7
quence of the extent of our trade, and of the distance
at which it was carried on. This rendered consign--
roents necessary, and the Principat-wai obliged. to con-
fide books to the Factor; to leave him to judge of the
time and circumstances under which the merchandise
ought to be brought to market; and if neither time emir
circumstances permitted a favourable sale, to authorise
him to raise money on the goads deposited in his hands,
in order to carry the objects of his employer into effect.
'flier. was no doubt that in all these things the Factor
was bound strictly to obey the directions which he re-
ceived from his Principal; but then there came in
a third party. • The Factor sold to, or. raised money
from, another individual on the goods in his hands, and
the question was, whether that iiidividusl knew what
the Factor was—whether Principal, Factor; the Owner,
or the Consignee of goods, With limited or with 'kinlimited
powers? All he could possibly-kuow was thentistence
of the goods, on the security of which the mcitiey was
to be retied. Supposing; then, that 'a fraud were com-
mitted, or that without fraud a bankruptcy took place,
on whom ought the loss to fall, on the principal, or on
the pledgee who had bought or advanied loamy on
security which he had no possible *aeon. toiloubt ?
The rule laid down of late years hadbidett,llsit if the
Factor had only authority to he could not; 'pledge
the goods, and that the pledgee mart consequently suf-
fer. But this doctrine was contrary to natured eqoity,
to the highest authorities, and to. the practice-of every "
other flatten in the world except the United States of
America. It was' contrary to natural cquity,-tecaose,
assuming that there was no fraud, *the pledgee had no
means whatever of knowing more than that the goods
were in the possession of the individual 'to Whom he
advanced the money. There was theiefore -no act of
confidence on his part. But the Principal appointed his
own Agent : he might qualify hit powers, direct and
-restrain him. He could judge of his character, arid
though he 'might be defrauded, yet he possessed. more
authority over his Agent than the Pledgee. Therefore.
on every principle of natural equity, if there was no
fraud, the loss ought to fill en the Pr incipal. He kn-iw
that this involved the complicated question of/lb:session
and title, but it would be impossible that trade should
go on if it were not adthitted that possession was title.
—The prcent measure was not only founded on
sound principles of natural equity, but on analogy.;
for if any individual consigned Exchequer Bills to
a Banker, and the Banker disposed of them to a
third person, he, the Pledgee, according -to 'some
existing law, had a right to the property. This
was containable to What was now proposed, and he
did not see why the same security -should not be given
to commercial dealings, which it had 'been found indis-
pensable to give to Bills of Exchange. It shight hp
asked, why the law *had not been altered befoie? AU
he could say was, that the system had grown up gra.
dually. The first decision on the subject had taken
.lace in 1742, and it was on that decisi 'n that the pre-
sent law was established. But it was believed that there
bad been some inaccuracy in die report. Lord Chief
Justice Gibbs had, said on the subject, that the ruin had
grown up from circumstances which be could not well
explain, and that in his opinion it was'at variance with
the best in:erests of trade, and ought not to •be main-
tained. Tire decisions which had since occurred. were
not very numerous, and had taken place in ignorance
of what the law really was. Lord Ellenborough arid
others hid decided on precedents, and decided justly,
nd the practice bad gone on as if the -law bad been
'what it was proposed by the present measure to make
it.
it. The Nob'e Earl then read various opinions ex-
pressed by Lord E lenborough and Judge Le Mint, to
ahaw what they conceived the law ought to' be. As it
stood at present, he had already observed, it was con-
trary to the law of every nation except the United
ISustes. For all nations held that where no fraud had
been committed, the pledgee, who had advanced money
on the sight and faith of the goods, was to have them
to repay himself, and the loss was to fall on the prin-
cipal Nay, this was the law of &odand, and the re-
sent practice was confined to England and the United
States alone. But even,in those States, the subject bad
boa taken up by Congress in its tat Seision with the
view of making the changes which. be now proposed.
Whether the Bill were made to resat on natural equity,
on analogy, on commercial feeling, or on what was the
.state of the law in other couotries.dtere•were, therefore.
