Mr. DALLAS and Mr. PIUS, for the Defendants,
admitted that the Connie for the Plaintiff had made
nut fuch a cafe as threw it on the Defendants to an-
lever it. They had laid that it was the bufinefs of the
Defendants, from the nature 'of the employment
whisk they had undertaken, fairly to keep the parcel
in gelation for the Plaintiff. 66 That is, (faid Mr.
DALLAS) to keep it exactly as they would, had it
been their own."
Lord ELLENSOROUGH" That is not exaely the
cafe. The Defendants were to receive a reward for
keeping this parcel. They were bound, therefore,
not to keep it as they might do their own property,
but to beitow on it more than ordinary care. One
man may be prudent in the care of his property—
another may be otherwife. Where a man aBs g
tuitoully, and, in that way, has property entreatedra-
to
his proteition, it may be fufficient that he bellows on
it the (dine care he does on his own. tut where, as
in the prefent cafe, a perfon ails for reward, he is
bound to ex, rcife every prudent care and attention."
This, his Lordfhip (aid, he thought it proper to ob-
fel ve in &nine.
Mr. DALLAS faid, that be fhould be able to thew
that this prudent care and attention had been obfarv-
ed by the Defehdants in this cafe. When they firft
took poffetfion of their prefent warehoufes, anxious
to make them as fecure as poffible, they had a num-
ber of additional locks and fattening' put on ; and it
would be (hewn in evidence; that, on the evening
.preceding the day on which the parcel was carried
off from their warehoufe, the door had been locked,
and padlocked as utile, bad been fouled in that Rate
by the watchman, when going his rounds ; and in
the morning, had been difcovered to have been broken
open, and the parcel.in quellion carried off. He be-
lieved it would hardly be contended that of warehoufe-
man was liable in the cafe of a robbery. i, he was
prepared to thew three different folemn decifions to
the contrary. The hand-tilt which the Defendants
had circulated, from a defire to recover this parcel.
had been endeavoured to be turned agaist them, as
if it could be maintained that for What they were not
liable hr hew, their own voluntary offer, made from
an anxiety to recover the Plaintiff's goods, could fub-
jeit them. That they had not, in that hated•biß de-
fcribed the goods asjoleis could not at all teem far-
prifing. That was the only probable way of recover-
ing them. It was not to be fuppofed that a perfon
chavged with robbery would furrenaer bimfellto be
' hanged.
James Harris, a lockfmith, faid that in January,
1803, he pot additional locks on the Defendants'
weeehonfes, and made ihem. as he conceited, per-
fealy fufficient. On the :ad December he was fent
for to examine the door of the warehoufe in quakes ;
he found that the lock had been carried away ; and
difeovered the marks as of pickers on the door poll.
The inner look had not received any injury, and mull
have been opened by a lkeleton.
Crofs examined.—He could not diflinguillt that
the door had been opened by a skeleton key. It might,
for what he knew, have been opened by its own key.
The only evidence of the door having been broken
open was the &retches on the door poll.
The watchman in Mark-lane, where the warehoufe
is fituated. Rated, that on the evening alluded to, at
ten o'clock, he examined the door in queflion, and
found all fecure.
Robert Hill, late warehoufeman to the Defendants,
depofed, that on that evening be locked the door of
the warehoufe, as label.
Crofs-examined.—He underßood that William
Nickols,another (errant in the Defendant's houfe, had
made inquiry at the Mancheßer Coach Office, if the
parcel in queflion had not been delivered there. The
witnch left the Defendant's fervice in four or five
days after the above circlet:silence took place. His
matter was afraid he had left the door open. and
therefore difmiffed him.
Wm. Nickols laid, he went to the Swan with Two
Necks, to inquire for the parcel, of his own accord.
Mr. ERSKINE, in reply, Rated, that the Defeo.
dams came rather in a peculiar fituation to demand
I from the Jury a verditt in their favour..Sitting them-
(elves in Judgment on their own (errant, they bad
adjudged him guilty of having left the door unlock-
ed ; bad fentenced him as ,fuch ; and had followed
op this judgment by difmiffing him from their kr-
vice. Now they came forward and raked of the
Jury to give the lie to all that they themfelves bad
fanitioned ; to difbelieve both the hand bill which
11 they had circulated. defcribing the Plaintiff's pro-
perty as having. been miffrat ; and the Rill Rronger
evidence of their difmiflal of their fervent for tergE.
genre ; and, all at once, called on the Jury to throw
the lois of this property on the Plaintiff, without
even giving him the mutt dittant intimation of the
circumilance, or affording him an opportunity, had
he wilbed it. of himfelf advertifing a reward for hi,
recovery, or of applying at the Swan with Two
Necks, or at the fign of any other bird or heart in
the metropolis, where he might think it moil likely'
that his inquiries would be fuecefsfeal for the recovery
of his parcel; a conduit which they molt alfuredly
would have adopted, had they fuppofed that they
were free from all refpoofibility, and that it attach-
ed folely to the Plaintiff.
Lord ELLIIISOROUGH faid, there was no difference
as to the law of the cafe. All that remained was for
the Jury to determine the matter of fait. Had the
warehoufe been robbed, or had it been left open
through negligence ? Hill faid he Lea locked the
door. The watchman had alfo laid. that he had
found it fan. Hill, indeed, came in a queßionable
fituation. His matter fufpciling him, had turned him
off. His fulpicion, however, did not bind the Jury.
Hill was not on his oath before his mailer, as be had
been before them.
The Jury, after retiring, found for the Plaintiff

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. NOVEMBER t.
Thir day Lord Eexavaoaovci" held his firs ad-
journed fisting before Term, at Guildhall in the City.
•Isoat et. PRiSCOIT.
This was an alines to recover, under a vlicy for
infurance, the difference between the market price of
certain goods infured by the Defendant for Leghorn,
and the font for which they bad adually been fold,
is ennfeeptence of their detention at Gibraltar, and
coadequent quentlofs maret. It appeared from the
flatemcnt of Mr. Glassk, finlike Plaintiff, that the
mods bad been infured free from capture, dc. the
ilNp, which was a neutral vcffel, having liberty to
touch at Gibraltar, but the aaoal place of dellina-
tion being Leghorn. War in the mean time having
bit ten out, the dip was detained by one of our
craisets. and carried into Gibraltar. There the pa-
pers of the thip, and different invoices, being cranial.'
ed, the ihip, and moll of the other goods on board
were 'canted ; but doubts being entertained hew far
the goods in quellion were British property, the de-
termination of that point was pollponed for fix
mouths. 'The goods were Wittily reAored, but were
fold at a great undervalue. The proceedings of the
Court at Gibraltar in evidence of theft fads were read.
Mr . Ell St IN for the Defendant maintained that
the infarct could not be liable for any ad of deten
tins) or condemnation by the Government of this
country. He was not by law entitled to make, nor
could he be bound by any iufurame on foreign veffels
or cargoes which this country were jullified in feiz-
ing ; whet wife, this would be allowing our enemies
indemnification for their loffes, at the espence of the
fubjeds of this country. The Learned Counfel al-
luded to a decifion to this effect, but Lord L• eesa-
soeoucs Rated, that that decifion fcemed clearly to
apply to foreign powers with whom we might be
at war, and that there coMd be no ohjeftion to in-
theng made, or indemnification rendered to
fubjeds of Fereigit States with whom we were at
peace.
Mr. ERSKINE fllbMitted, whether in this cafe, any
farther indemnification ought to he made than the
runt biawLen the invoice ;nice, and that which the
rods brought ? He alto foggeiled how far it would
pare been proper that the Plaintiff mould have had
an agent at Gibraltar
Mi. Gies' maintained, that it was quite fufficient
that the Plaintiff had an agent at Leghorn, the place
of dellination.
Lord E LLLLL oaouon informed the jury that the
law of the cafe was perfealy clear. There was here
vs contravention of the policy. The goods had been
th.t.ivied fulpicion, but itbeing feen that they were
Inc the property of an enemy, had been fettered.—
Indemnification. therefore, fell to be made by the in-
, twee. Vetclift for the Plaintiff.
TILICIFP. V. WIT) ALL AIIV ALT.
Mr. ERSltillt, Mr. GARROW, and Mr. Glass, for
the Plaintiff, Plated, that this wa. an aftion for reco-
vering from the Defendants the ram of 1671. tat. 7d.
