FROM LLOYD'S LIST.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 13.
HARRISON V. WOOD, SHERIFF.
The Plaintiff; about the year 1804, became the
creditor of the celebrated Mr. King, to the amount '
of 81700. He at length was obliged to have recourse
to legal proceedings in order to obtain his money.—
The Sheriff' was directed to lay an execution upon
Mr. King's house in Norton-street. That officer, under
an indemnity of £2OOO, returned nulla bona ; it was
subsequently ascertained, that there was property in ;
the house, and the present action was brought to re-
cover damages for the false return.
The defence set up was, that Mr. King having been
discharged, as an insolvent Debtor, his effects became
vested in the Clerk of the Peace, and that he had at
the time of the execution no property.
On the part of the Plaintiff it was contended, that
Lady Lanesborough, the wife of Mr. King, had pur. I
chased furniture previously to the discharge of her
husband, and that the property, of which she was ;
undoubtedly in possession at the time, was to be con-
sidered liable to the demands upon Mr. King. The
question was then reduced to the value of that pro-i
perty, and after hearing the statements of witnesses,
who varied it from £5OO to £lOOO, the Jury found
a verdict for the Plaintiff.—Damages £950.
TUE KING V. DE :MULLES.
The prosecutor is a boot-maker, and the defendant
a jeweller. They lived in the same house, and having
some bickerings with respect to their title to the pre.
mises, several quarrels took place, and bills in Chan-
cery were filed, which were productive of much ill
blood, that ended in wha; the plaintiff swore to be an
assault. His case was supported by Mr. KNAPP.
For the defendant, Mr. BARRY stated that he was
an inoffensive peaceable man, who for many years sup-
ported a respectable character, and has been a mem-
ber of the St. James's Volunteers upwards of nine
years ; that he had received a variety of provocations
from the prosecutor, whom he described to be of a
most litigious disposition. He called witnesses on his
behalf. The Chairman left it to the Jury to decide,
who, after a long consultation, returned a verdicto f
guilty ; and the Court ordered him to pay a small
fine.

SIR RUPERT GEORGE AND OTHERS, v. TAYLOR, ESQ.
This was an action against a ship.owner, for non-!
performance of his contract. The 'defendant had
hired the ship Commerce, to the Transport Board,
under a penalty of £5OO for non-sea-worthiness, or
other failure of performance. The ship was sent out
in April 1807, laden with provisions ; she was obliged
to return shortly after, from the leaky state in which
she was found at sea. The provisions were damaged
to the amount of more than the penalty of the bond,
but the action was forced to restrict itself to the
penalty. Witnesses were called to prove the material
facts. Mr. Taylor made no defence, and the Jury
accordingly found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Da-
mages, £5OO.

T. Sibbald, midshipman, passed for lieutenant, in London, the

would never be questioned. He saw the testator
very feeble, and reduced in his appearance.
Several Gentlemen who had seen Mr. Butler
shortly afterwards at Kilcash, testified many curious
particulars respecting his dotage, and enfeebled state
of mind and body ; amongst them were Sir William
Barker, Edward Hunt, Esq. Pierce O'Donnell, Esq.
and others.
An attempt has also been made upon the first trial
to impeach the lease for under value ; and it was
proved that the same identical rent was reserved upon
a lease of the lands in 1769, to Mr. Lalor's father,
as was reserved for Mr. Lalor himself in the lease of
1788 ; but this objection only elicited most conclu-
sive evidence of the history of the value of lands .in
Ireland, by which it appeared, that lands had declin.
ed in value by reason of the American war, between
1783 and 1786, to so low a rate, drat they had not,
until 1790 or 1792, acquired the acreable rate they
fetched in 1769, and thence to 1775, and that, there-
fore, the identity of rent in those two years of . 1769
and 1788, was perfectly consistent with the fact of
identity of intrinsic value in those two years. The
Jury, composed of aged and intelligent gentlemen,
were so perfectly aware of this piece of history, that
the objection was, upon the second trial, distinctly
and handsomely abandoned in open Court, by the
Solicitor General, upon Lord Ormond's pant.
However, Lord Ormond's Counsel rested the
strength of his case upon a piece of evidence newly
discovered, which they insisted upon as conclusive in
a Court of Law, and as estopping Mr. Lalor, and
all other tenants deriving under the late Earl, from
impeaching the will of 1764. This was a decree of
Chancery pronounced in 1785 and 1790, indirectly
establishing this will in a fami y suit, amicably insti-
tuted and founded upon a previous written agreement
of 17810 touching the payment of some legacies spe-
cified in the will of 1764.
Counsel for defendant contended, however, that
this decree was nothing but an amicable one, and
upon consent—that it did not d.rectly establish the
will of 1764—that the probate of the will. of 1754 re-
mains unrevoked to this day—that the will of 1764.
had never been proved in the Prerogative Court, or
otherwise publicly produced until of late days—that
the decree of 1785 did not establish the will directly, '
as against the late Earl himself, and much less against
Mr. Lalor, his tenant ; and that, even if it had, it
is not conclusive in a Court of Law, inasmuch as no
decree of a Court of Equity, however direct, can give
a legal title to lands, or act otherwise than against the
person or party, by compelling him to convey a legal
title, which the decree has not done.
These and some other important questions in this
cause have undergone divers public and learned ar-
guments during the last two years.
Chief Justice DOWIMS this day read the unanimous
opinion of the Court. He stated the two questions in
the case :--lst, upon the point saved respecting the
conclusiveness of a decree of a Court of Equity upon
the validity of a will impeached at law for insanity ;
on a full and luminous argument his Lordship decid-
ed that such a decree is not conclusive—that a Court
of Equity does not possess an original, and therefore
'a
concurrent jurisdiction upon this subject ; and that
its decree, even if it had established the will directly,
and not merely by inference or argument, could only
do so in a Court of Equity, and not at law ; that it
gives no legal title.
His Lordship pointedly adverted to the hazards to
property, and he inconvenience to the general admi-
nistration of justice by Courts of Law, if decrees of
Courts of Equity could bestow a title in ejectment,
and declared, that in all his experience, and through-
out the minutest search, he had traced no instance of
such a doctrine being held or hid down as was here
contended for.
The second question arose upon the motion for a
new trial, as being contrary to the weight of evidence,
and to Lord Norbury's earnest charge nod direction.
41 Upon this part of ,the case (said his Lordship),
I need say but little. The transaction is now twenty.
two years old, confirmed by the uniform possession
by the tenant Mr. Lalor. It has withstood a severe
scrutiny, and has been twice investigated—and (what
is important) the dealing between the late John But-
ler and Mr. Lalor, concerning this lease, was perfectly
fair and at a reasonable value ; no imputation can
lie upon it. He could not easily have heard of this
alledged will of 1764. Had he resorted to the re-
cords, he would not have found it registered ; but he
wo. 11 have found the will of 1754 proved in the
Ecclesiastical Court. The only trace of the will of

1164 appetet hi the equity proceedings and dead it
1785. He must have examined these very carefull:ri
and even then, he might have thought it was a decace
never contested. It was, therefore, a qiiPstion t...
Jury. There was evidence on both s;desi Wh:ch&
ever way the evidence may have-preponderated, the
Jury were to decide. They have decided in the des
fendant's favour, and there k must rest. However,
as Lord Ormond has been encouraged by the opinion
of the Judge (Lord Norbury) to apply for this new
trial, we cannot give the costs of the argument
against him ; but as to all the other eosts—,4llo%o
the trial, verdict, and judgment, and all the part of
the costs which relates to the argimlcnt upon the
point saved, all such costs must be folly paid by Lord
Ormond to Mr. Lalor, the defendant, an: accor-
dingly let Lord Ormond's motion for a new trial be
refused with such costs."

IVESTMiMSTER SESSIONS:

FRIDAY, JULY 13.

William Walsh was indicted for an aggravated as,
sault on a gentleman named Redhead, residing in
Bedford-street, Strand. It appeared that the prose-
cutor was walking with some friends down Greek-
street, Soho, on the night of the 26th of July, 180,
And being in a merry mood, they were laughing very
heartily, when the prisoner, who is a watchman, ad-
dressed them in the must brutal language; and on
their replying, he came up and struck the plaintiff a
violent blow on the breast, and knocked him down;
he afterwards conveyed the whole party to the watch-
house, where some propositions were made to settle
the matte; withthe watchmen by giving them money,
but the party, feeling themselves aggrieved, refused to
11 comply with the demand. They were thin desired
to leave the watch-house, as there was no charge
against them. This, however, they declined, until a
charge was made; and on the ensuing morning, on
the subject being brought before the Magistrate, at
Bow-street, the conduct of the watchman was highly
reprobated, and a prosecution recommended.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the
Court sentenced the Prisoner to one month's impri-
, sunment.

Marmaduie TX:, one of those disgraceful wretches
who have of late become-so numerous about Town,
was put to the bar, charged with an assault on Fre-
derick Tongue, a lad about 14 years of age, late in
the service of the Marquis of Blandford, with intent
to commit an unnatural offence. The indictment
also contained another count, charging him with in-
decently exposing himself. It appeared that the mis,
creant made the object of his brutality drunk ; but
was fortunately. detected by one of the Marquis of
Blandford's servants before the perpetration of the
horrid purpose, and secured.
Several persons, among whom were his father and
mother, gave him a most excellent character.
He was convicted of the latter count in the indict-
ment, and in consequence of his good character, only
sentenced to three months imprisonment.
The prisoner was about 9.4 years of age, and of
genteel appearance.
Mary Clarke was convicted of stealing a pewter pot
from the Britannia public-house, Berwick-street, Soho.
Sentenced to 14 days imprisonment.
Margaret Medley, a woman of decent appearance,
was also convicted of stealing a piece of salt beef from
a butcher in the Strand, named Parr • the meat was
found secreted between her legs, in the shop of the
prosecutor. She was sentenced to be imprisoned threek
months, being an cld offender.

STEALING A DEAD BODY.
Wm. Webb, gave-digger of the parish of St. George,
Hanover-square, stood indicted for stealing the
ofa young woman from the church-card of the
parish, on the morning of the 21st of June.
Mr. ALLEY, for the prosecution, stated the ease,
which he said was peculiarly aggravated from the cir-
cumstance of the prisoner being the person to whom
the care of the church-yard was entrusted. In the
month of June a young lady, about 17 years of age,
named Elizabeth Lane, an apprentice to Mrs. Bayne,
a milliner in Albemarle-street, died of the measles,
and was conveyed :n a hearse to the burial ground of
St. George's, for interment, at eight o'clock in the
morning of the 21st.- She was followed by Mr. Bayne
and three friends, in a mourning coach. On their ar-
rival at the church-yard, after the usual service being
performed, they saw the lady deposited in the grave.
Being much affected, they did not wait to see it cover-
'ed with earth. As they proceeded towards home, a
boy followed them, and said a body had been stolen
from that church-yard very recently, and advising
them to be careful that a similar fate did not held
the person they had just buried. To this intimation
Mr. Bayne paid no attention in the first instance, but,
on reaching home, his suspicions were roused, and he
immediately returned to the church-yard, calling on
his way for Mr *Laughlin, the sexton, and a watch-
min named Carter. On examining the grave in
which Miss Lane had been interred, near which the
prisoner stood, they observed that it was very much
disturbed. Mr. Bayne desired the prisoner then to
open the grave, which he refused ; but upon Mr.
M'Laughlin insisting that the request should be corn-
plied with, he stepped back a few paces, seemed
much alarmed, and fainted. On recovering, Mr.
M'Laughlin interrogated him as to the state of the
grave. He asked him if the body was in the coffin
I and he answered in the negative. He then asked him
if it was in the grave ? to which he replied in the elfin.
niative. He was immediately ordered to open the
grave, which he did with the assistance of another
man, and about 18 inches below the surface of the
earth, a sack was discovered, which, on examination,
PAS found to contain the body of Miss Lane, tied
with cords, feet and neck together, and mangled in a
most shocking manner. They then dug to the
i •
which they found open, and the shroud
and laid in the bottom. Having .1
the guilt of the prisoner, who had
grave-digger in the parish, they laid
in the coffin, and consigned it once more ,
ing place. The prisoner was then secured,
parish officers very properly set on
prosecution.
