ROLLS COURT, JULY It

num, AND CO. D. NORWOOD..
This important cause, involving property to the
amount of 860,000, was decided by Sir WILLIAM
GRANT, after hearing Sir A. PIGOTT, Sir SAMUEL I
ROMILLY, Mr. RUSSELL, Mr. O'DEDY, and other
Cistinsel.
It appeared from the pleadings, that the defendant,
a great manufacturer, had, in the course of pecuniary
dealings with the plaintiffs, his bankers, deposited title
deeds of a copylrold estate, accompanied with a note
in writing to the following effect : I send you these
deeds as a collateral security for Arcton's and my
bills." This Areton drew bills, previously to the de- •
posits made, upon Horwood to a great amount, which
Horwood indorsed and discounted with his bankers.
There were also bills of Horwood in their hands dis-
tinct from those drawn by Arcton, and the great
point was to ascertain the extent to which a lien or
equitable mortgage was created on the deposit. Hor-
wood and.Arcton are both dead, and since the decease
of the latter, his executors have paid off the amount
of the bills which he originally drew in favour of
Horwood, and they claimed a lien for so much on the
deposit in the bankers' hands ; but the bankers said
that the deposit was given as well for payment of
their general balance as for debts antecedently due,
and therefore refused.

His HONOUR decreed, that the surety, in all cases
of deposits, was entitled, upon paying off the sum he
had engaged for, to stand in the situation of the cre-
ditor paid by him, and therefore that Arcton had a
lien on the title-deeds in the hands of the bankers for
the debt discharged ; and that the plaintiffs, the
bankers, had also a right to a further lien upon the
title-deeds for such sums as were due at the time of
the delivery of the deposit, but not beyond that for a
general balance.—These points are of great conse-
quence to commercial men.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 14.
VERNEY v. GRANGE,
This was an action to recover SA, as the value of
a horse or poney sold by the defendant to the plaintiff,
he (the plaintiff) having no right to sell the poney, it
being the property of another person, to whom the
plaintiff, on evidence to that effect, had restored it.
The price given by the pla;ntiff for the pone)? was
£B, and he now brought his action for £'2'2, being the
increased value of the poney, in consequence of the
plaintiff's having kept him at grass, by which he got
into an improved condition. It appeared that the
poney in question was the property of a person of the
name of Chad, rind having strayed upon the manor
of Aldingham, in Hertfordshire, one Corley, steward
or bailiff to Mr. Thellusson, the Lord of the Manor,
thought fit to sell him to the present defendant, in-
forming him, however, that he was a stray, and sti-
pulating that, in the event of his being claimed, the
poney should be restored, and the price repaid. The
defend ,nt afterwards sold the poney to the plaintiff,
as the evidence for the plaintiff went to chew, without
disclosing the fact of his being a stray, though this
latter fact was contradicted by two witnesses for the
defendant.
Lord ELLMCROROUGH reprobated in very strong
terms the conduct of the bailiff. That of which he
had been guilty was a very shameful practice, and a
gross abuse of the law. Stray horses ought to be
kept for a certain period of time, in an open place,
for the purpose of being reclaimed, and not, as in
the present instance, be almost immediately sold, as
lawful prize. Such practice was a prodigious encou-
rage ment to stealing of horses in the neighbourhood.
His Lordship was of opinion, however, as some of
the witnesses swore that the plaintiff, when he pur-
chased the poney, was informed that he was a stray,
that he-must be understood to have bought him with
all the comingepcies annexed to such a character—so
that the plaintiff was entitled only to the Nice paid
by him to the defendant. Verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages XS.

BARNWELL V. PRICE, BART.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who
was steward or butler to Lorld Kerry, to recover from
the defendant, styling himself Sir Edward O'Bryen
Price, Bart. the sum of £126, being money paiA by
the plaintiff fur the defendant's use.
It appeared that the defendant, who issued £1 and
22 notes as a country banker, at Castle Carey, in So-
mersetshire, had introduced himself to the plaintiff,
stating his belief, that the plaintiff's wife and Lady
Price were cousins ; had prevailed on him to take his
country notes in exchange for Bank of England notes,
with which he was formerly in the use of paying the
wages of his fellow-servants, the accounts of his
Lord's tradesmen, &c. ; and had even induced him
to accept bills for the defendant at different times.—
For one of these bills, amounting to £lOO, and for
country banking notes, under the firm of Sir Edward
O'Bryen Price and Co. for 41 and £2, to the nomi-
nal value of Je26 more, was this action brought, the
payment of which on account of the defendant being
proved by his own letters, the Jury found a verdict
for the plaintiff—Damages 8126.
11ORNBY I'. MUNRO, BART.
This was an action of trespass and false imprison-
ment, brought by the plaintiff, an iron-monger, in
Tottenham-court-Road, against the defendant, Sir
Hugh Munro, Bart.
From the evidence adduced it appeared, that the
defendant, under a forgetfulness of an order he had
given the plaintiff to provide him with two stoves ;
and ario in the heat of passion arising from an over- I
charge of six keys furnished by the plaintiff, had sent 1
for him to his (the Baronet's) house, where he charg-
ed him with having acted in a swindling manner.—
The
plaintiff, on this, threatened an action for the
amount of his account, and was about to depart,
when Sir Hugh declaring he should depart not till he
had either settled his account or given him an oppor-
tunity of tendering the money, pulled the key out of
the street door, as if he had locked it. The plaintiff,
under this impression, followed Sir Hugh back into
his study, when the key was immediately given to
the servant, that the plaintiff might have it in his
power to depart when he chose; but, before he did
depart, he gave down I Is. of a charge of £1 16s.
he had made for six keys, made some other deduc-
tions from his accodnt, received payment of it, thus
adjusted, and gave a receipt for the amount.
Lord ErzstesonouGH, in these circumstances,
thought this action had proceeded on wrong advice.
11e therefore recommended, that a Juryman might be

withdrawn. The Conasel far the plaintiff would re-
collect th it he had some power as to costs in it case
of this kind.
Mr. PARKE, for the plaintiff, assented, and a Jut/.
man was withdrawn.

BIGLEY .. BOWATER.
This was an action to recover damages for a mali-
cious prosecution.
1 Mr. GARROW stated the case.—This was one of the
cases which peculiarly illustrated the excellence of
British law, by sheaving that no difference of rank, no
reputation or fortune, could exempt any man from
being forced to respect the rights of his fellow men, or
if he forget that respect, forgetting it at his peril. The
Plaintiff' and Defendant were in ranks of society al-
most as distinct from each sther as it would be possi-
ble to conceive. . The Plaintiff was a post-chaise boy
at Hampton Court e the Defendant a man of rank
and fortune—an Admiral in the British service. Yet
it was against such a man, that the Plaintiff came :o
demand justice from an English Jury. Mr. Garrow
then went into a humourous detail of the case :—Ad-
miral Bowater lived at Hampton Court, and it un-
luckily happened that on one of the fine eights cflast
summer, a few people returning from some country
• festivity, an& not being acquainted with the gallant
veteran's antipathy to music, struck up a chorus as
they were passing his house. This probably would
have been no very serious grievance to any man who
was not altogether adverse to the " Concord of sweet
sounds." It might, gentlemen, have been rather op.
pressive to the nerves of a pregnant woman ; but I
will not allow myself to imagine the gallant Admiral
to have been under those circumstances ; I believe it
has not been given in evidence ; • I am almost positive
that it is not stated in my brief. Yet, gentlemen, if
the style of the performance was not of the ni s dul-
cet order, the subject might have been suppbsed to
harmonize with the feelings of the gallant Admiral.
What do you suppose the songs t 6 have been, some-
thing roaring and riotous, something rebellious or
revolutionary ? No, Gentlemen of the Jury, the sere-
nade, which disturbed the gallant Admiral, was made
up of ' Rule Britannia,' and' Gon save the King.'—
The concert was at once interrupted by the throwing
up of a windew, and a loud voice uttering this alarming
denunciation,' Get off you rascals, or I'll shoot you.'
The musicians were perplexed for awhile; butat length
conceiving that they had not earned sudden death in any
satisfactory manner, and at least determining to be
I good-humoured as long as they were allowed to live, ,
they began their concert again, with 6 Cease rude Bo-
reas, blustering railer.' Now, Gentlemen, you have all
heard something of the effects of music in the days of
old. This was' the witching timeo'thenight; the song was
given in a full chorus of roughenusie. I proceed in the
tale : the incantation produced its effect ; the gates of
the chateau were suddenly thrown open ; and there
i appeared berore the astonished minstrel:, a' formidable
ishalte,'a figure in a Rowing robe,caparisoned from' head
to foot'—the Admiral in his night-cap and slippers !
The concert was dissolved in an instant; the spirit
had been called up, but it was, unfortunately for the
enchanters, not to be so easily laid again. On the
• next morning, the gallant Admiral went to Mr. Hip-
person, the keeper of the King's-Arms, and gave a
summary order for the discharge of the unfortunate
minste4s. General measures arc supposed to be
most effectual ; anti the Admiral's order was, that
the Innkeeper shoul.i, at the moment, discharge every
chaise-lniy in his service. Now, Gentlemen of the
Jury, if a servant of mine had offended a gentleman,
and the compl not was fairly made to me, I would
discharge him at once, whatever might be my value
for him. But if any man, no matter what might be
his rank in life, were to come, and without conde-
scending to point out the offender, ,ive a sweeping
order for the dismission of all my s....rviults at once, I
would certainly reuse to give him the slightest satis-
faction on the subject, and tell him that if be finget
his duty, I did not Itirget mine, and.that I would pro-
tect my servants. The Innkeeper plainly refused to
strip himself of all his servants at once, in spite of
some threats of having his licence taken from him ;
• but offered to discharge any one witom the Admiral
could point out. Four boys were then named as be-
i ing among the musicians ; of those, two were not in
the Innkeeper's service ; and of the other two the pre-
' sent plaintiff had gone to bed an hour before the
i alledged tumult. The plaintiff, and another boy who
1 is plaintiff in a succeeding action, were next morning
brought before Mr. Serjeant Marshall, one of the
1 neighbouring Magistrates. They were remanded and
ordered to appear en the following Saturday. In the
mean time they were dismissed from Mr. Flipper son's
i the service. On Saturday they n ere brow ht up, after
having been imprisoned the night before by the head-
! borough, and the Admiral then abandoned his charge
against the plaintiff, as'not having been among the
rioters !" This statement was substantiated by evi-
, dente.

Mr. PARK, in a very ingenious speech, defended
the conduct of the Admiral,- ascribed whatever inc.
gularity there might appear in the proceeding, to the
irritation of a series of insults which had been offered
to the Admiral and his family by the servants of the
King's Arms. Their o-mmon name for him was.
64 Two pounds ten," from some ridiculous story
which they had circulated through the village. •
It was-proved in evidence, that a postlyv's horn
and a double drum were among the instruments of
the serenade, and that the imprisonment was merely
a colour for swelling the damages, the prisoners har,r
ing been let out immediately after their confinement
in the round-house, adjourning to a good supper, to
which the headborough was invited at the time ; and
after drinking and sleeping at theii Idierty. during the
night, going into the round-house for a few milaites
next morning before they went to the Magistrates. •
Lord ELLexanttot,ois in charging the Jnry, ac.
quitted the defendant of all malicious itivoiti.in, and
advised them, if they were induced to find for the
plaintiff, to find a verdict for only nomitril damages.
The Jury without leaving the box, futind for the
plaiatift.—Damatges five pounds.
