The vise, opened by Mr. SCASIST, for the plain.'
tiffs, war in substance this t---In the rtfonth of Octo-
ber, 1814, the defendants, George and Charles Coles,
executed a deed of trust to the ether defendants
'granting to them the sum of 41280G10 be embarked
in mercantile speculations fur the,eie of the infant
sons of the two Coles ; and in CASC their sons died
before the age of il,4hen the money and profits
arising from it were to be applied for the
et benefit
and
of
George Coles himself. The defendants, Garn
Barker, were at that time clerks in the house of
Coles, biothers, and De Yonge s a mercant, re-
siding at Amsterdam,where the tr wa
ust funds h
were to
be applied to the purposes mentioned in the trust
deeds, Coles, brothers, acting in this country as joint
partners in the concern. Tee sugars, which were the
subject of the present action, were purchased by
Coles, brothers, of the plaintiffs, who were certainly
not aware that Coles, brothers, had any partnership
interest with the house at Amsterdam ; but it was
to be inferred from the correspondence between the
house in London and the house in Holland, that they ,
were at least general partners in this particular tran-
saction. The bankruptcy of Coles, brothers, would
be a bar to their liability in this action, but if it
could be strewn that there was a general partnership
between the parties, the other defendants would be
clearly liable.—Documentary evidence was offered
upon this last point, but
Lord ELLENSOROUGH was clearly of opinion, that
it shewed no more than a transaction in pursuance of
the trust deed, and that in all events it was no more
than a partnership between the right and left hand.
In consequence of this intimation of his Lordship the
plaintiff was nonsuited.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. DECEMBER to.
BRYSON V. SCHISIDSR.
This was an action on a Charter-party on the ship
Canada, from Cork to New Orleans. She was to sail
first to Bermuda, and wait there for the cessation
llof hostilities between Great Britain and the United
1 States of America. In that event to iroceed to
Charleston. and take in a full and complete cargo of
, compressed cotton-wool. In cue she could not pro-
cure the same at Charleston, she was to proceed to
New Orleans. The defendant contracted upon the
above terms to pay the plaintiff freight upon each pound
of cotton-wool. .It appeared that the Canada was
obliged to run to New Orleans before she could get a
cargo. She there took on board cotton-wool re-
compressed. The re-compression was made with ma-
chinery, and the wool was more confined than when
it was compressed in the first instance. This dtvia-
tion from the terms of the charter, which only di-
rected the Captain to take on board cotton com-
pressed and not re-compressed, was considered a
breach of contract, and it was contended that the
plaintiffs could not recover freight.
Judge Bt./Ramon, who tried the cause, ob-
served,
that the ship, by the charter party, was to
take on board a full and complete cargo of coma
wool, and had she taken wool merely more:nil, she
would have returned with a deficiency of one-third
of her cargo. The taking in re-compressed wool ena-
bled the Captain to bring home a complete cargo,.
and he was of opinion that it was a circumstance is
favour of the plaiuta
The Jury would not allow the Solicitor General,
who opened the case, to reply, but found a verdict for
the plaintiff for £563 lOs. the amount of freight.
SHERIFF'S COURT, DECEMBER 20.
CARR V. ALLAN.
This was a Writ of Inquiry to assess damages for
an assault. The damages were laid at Three Hun-
dred Pounds.
Mr. Du Bois stated the following case to the Jury:
Robert Wilson Carr, the plaintiff, was foremast-
man on board the Oswin, a West Indiaman, home-
ward bound, of which ship Thomas Allan, the defen-
dant, was Captain. On the Bth of August last. at
one A. M. the crew were called up to shorten sail in
a squall. Carr went on deck with the rest, but was
so ill with fever and ague, that he was unable to do
any thing. lie therefore lay down under the boat.
When the squall was over, Captain Allan, though
he knew of his indisposition, took the end of a two
inch rope and heat the plaintiff till he had cut his
shirt to pieces ; in consequence of which his back
continued sore for almost three weeks, and he was
full of pains and bruises. The plaintiff, Carr, alwiys
did his duty when he was able, and the conduct of
the Captain could only be ascribed to a brutal indis-
position. The Learned Counsel concluded his ad-
dress to the Jury with these remarks :—lt may seem
idle, and something like a jest, to talk of the leelings
of Captain Allan ; but he has feelings, Gentlemen,
and I'll tell you where they are—they are in his
breeches pocket—and I trust that you will not be
sparing of the Only feelings of a man, who has had
no compassion for the better feelings of another.
Lieutenant Card, a passenger, and several of the
crew, were called to prove the case, and the Jury
found for the plaintiff—Damages £lOO.

GUiLDUALL.—Yesterday a respectable dealer, re-
siding in the neighboorhood of Beet-street, was
charged with uttering as true, a Al note of the Bank
of England, he well knowing the same to be forged.
Mr. KAYE attended on the part of the Bank, and Mr.
Hmiaten for the prisoner. A number of respectable
witnesses appeared to give the prisoner a good cha-
racter. ' He was remanded for a anal examination.
Bow-naturr—Yesterday John Gee. was brought to
this Office, and underwent a long ezanittation be-
fore Mr. Brame, the Sitting Magistrate, charged
with robbing Messrs. Starch and Boobyer, wholesale
and retail ironmonger, Stanhope-street, Clare Mac-
ket.—lt appeared that the prisoner is a cabinet-
maker, and has been in the habit of dealing at the
shop of the prosecutors for these-eighteen years past.
They have frequently discovered that they have lost
articles, or been robbed of them. butt did not know
who to suspect : at length, however, suspicion felt
on the prisoner, it being noticed that articles were ,
frequently missed after be had left the shop- Yes.'
terday, when he came to purchase an article, a con-
stable was sent for, Paul vibile the messenger was
gone, be is supposed to have stolen eht screw drivers,
which were found upon him. OE sendhig to. his

Dr. Beam then proposed the tiet.lll of the Doke
of Cambridge, the PatrOn of the Society, whose high
rank the Assembly would look tip to with respect,
wild, they regarded his.aws I.f kindness to them
with gratitude.—. The r.,leetinz drank the health of
his Royal Highness with applause, anti three times
three. - -
Dr. LINDSAY tten rose and said, he shun ld propose
3 toast which would g;i home to the bosoms of all
the Members of ine Sqciety. If there was a man
who with earnestness and s.kill ptomotesi the cause
e
of knowledge, relinlon, and humanity, it was
Duke of Kent.—(2/0/aure.)-11) the talents of his
' great mind and the sensibility of his great heart, he
had rendered the cause of knowledge the must essen-
tial service. Of these exertions the next generation
would taste the friths, and the Kingdom of Righ-
teousness, which a still greater Advocate had esta-
blished, would reap a rich harvest through his exer-
lions. He should not dilate further upon the merits
\of the Duke of Kent, though the Royal Chairman,
be slid not doubt, would listen with pleasure to the
praises of such a brother.—,(Aliplause.)is was
indeed a new era, when Princes were striving for
II honour, not in fields of blond, but by the promotion
oft the arts of humanity, and the promotion of know-
ledge and the intellectual advancement of mankind.
The health of the Duke of KENT was then drank
with three times three.
Dr. C. BURNEY proposed as a toast the health of
the Royal Chairman, the Duke of Sussex, to whom
they would give their best thanks, as well as their
best wishes for his prosperity.
His Royal Highness's health having been drank,
The Dnke of Swine returned thanks, and said,
that as yet he had but little claims on the gratitude
of the Society ; but he hoped the liberal subscriptions
that evening would give them an occasion to remem-
ber the time when he had -the honour to be in the
Chair. He also acknowledged the regard which had
been shewn to his Royal Brother, which proved to
him that the exertions of the Members of the Royal
Family did not pass unnoticed, but that they received
that el couragement which would call forth the gra-
titude of every one who had sympathy w:th his fellow
beings. His Royal Highness expatiated upon the
claims of the Inst.tutin to pul:lic attention, and on
the natural gratitude which was thle from every
man,
not only to his own instructors:, but to the teachers
of youth in general. lie should propose the health
of a man witom be knew as a fLiertd, and whom all
respected as a Magistratc—" The Lord Mayor of
London"—to which fie-should add—" Tit Corp°-
, ration of London."—( ANdarre.)
The toast having been drank with great applause,
The LOAD MAYOR returned thanks, and observed,
that the Corporation of London, which had been
liberal towards all establishments for public advan-
tage, would probably, if applied to, extend its muni-
ficence to this Society, though at present (he was not
ashamed to say it) it was not able to pay its own
bills.—ipililitU.)
Dr. NDSAY observed, that he had to communi-
cate the donation of 10 guineas from a Scotchman,
Sir James Shaw, the only man of that nation who
had ever been a member of that Corporatintr—(op-
platare)—which gift he was proud to communicate,
Imm the fellow feeling every Scotchman was said to
have with ant.ther.—(Applaure and laughing.)
The Duke of Sussex said he had to propose a
toast, which required some prefatory observations. A
letter had been Written to his Serene Highness the
Duke of Orleans to request the honour of his atten-
dance. The Duke had returned an answer, in which
he had (with a donation of ten guineas) informed
