COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DECEMBER 18. '
!%111.1.ER V. JANSEN.
This was an action on a policy of insurance on a
cargo of colonial produce, shipped for Bremen on
board the Twee Gebroeders, a neutral vessel, carry-
ing simulated papers.
Muller, the master, stated, that he sailed from Lon-
don in December 1809, and when he arrived off the
Weser, he found that French Douaniers were in
possession of the Kiest (a small rivernthat falls into
the Weser, near its mouth). In this situation he
did not think it adviseable to proceed to Bremen ;
he therefore put into the Jhade, Nom which,. l
how-
ever, he was obliged to run, owing to strong westerly
Iwinds, and large quantities of ice, and his vessel.
; being leaky, he was therefore obliged to run for the
harbour of Eckwarden, where she was taken posses-
' :ion of by some Dutch soldiers. In his cross-exa-
mination, he admitted that he had an intention of
returning to England, Reding it impracticalfre to get
to Bremen.
The Learned Counsel for the derendant contended,
that this was an abandonment, and the Jury.returned
a verdict for the defendant. • •

HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY,
EDINBURGH, DEC. 20.

Monday, as mentioned in last, Peter Hughan,,
who was tried on a ease of forgery in the months of
August last, and then acquitted in consequence of
ian error in restricting the libel, was agaia put to
the bar on a similar charge. The prisoner pleaded
Nut Guilty, .and the defence stated by his Counsel,
i having-resolved into a general denial of the crime,
the public prosecutor adduced the same witnesses
who were examined on the former trial, in order
to establish the prisoner's guilt. The evidence which
they gave, was verbatim the same as on that occasion,
I equally applicable to the present offence, although
that offence was of a minor nature. The prisoner's
declarations, the substance of which was given in our
former report, and also a direct. reference to the spe-
cific charge upon which he was now tried. The ad-
mission of the witnesses, -Who'had been examined on
the former trial, was objected to by the .prisoner's.
Counsel, on account of their having been present un-
til the termination of the proceedings which tben took,
place; and in consequence, were fully apprised of the
whole circumstances of the case before they; were
called upon to give their evidence on the present-off
,I casion. This objection, however, was unanimously
over-ruled by the Court.
The LORD ADVOCATE, in addressing the Jury, re-
stricted the libel to an arbitrary punishment. Mr.
Simpson then addressed them on the part of the
prisoner ; after which, LORD JUSTICE CLXIIK sum -
med up the evidence in his usual distinct and accu-
rate manner. The Jury, after retiring for a short
,time, returned a verdict, unanimously finding the
prisoner guilty.
Tuesday, he was sentenced to 7 years transporation
beyond seas, with the usual certification.

all others that came before a Jury : the Jury gave
their verdict from a view of the circumstances, -liable
to the opinion of the Judge on the law of the case.—
In the present instance he could have no doubt in
pronouncing the publication to be a libel. The Jury
would, however, form their own opinion.—Guilty.
