COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
HIDDEN V. PARRY.
Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD moved for a Rule to chew
cause why the nonsuit in this case should not be set
aside, and a new trial granted.—lt was an action on
a policy of insurance on dollars, shipped on board the
Rook sloop of war. The sloop was captured after a
gallant defence, in which her Captain, Lieutenant
Lawrence, was. killed. The action was brought to
recover the dollars of the Underwriters, and the bill
of lading was produced, to prove that they were in
tale possession of Captain Lawrence; but it was not
allowed by the Learned Judge to be evidence of the
dollars being on board. The plaintiff was of course
I nonsuited.

It was contended in support of the present motion,
that the bill of lading was admissible evidence. The
Learned Serjeant said, in a case where the owner of
land had produced his steward's book to describe the
rents, the book had been received as evidence, though•
the steward was dead, because it was not supposed he
would have made entries, charging himself with
money, unless he had received it. The case was the
same with Lieut. Lay. recce; that gallant officer being
dead, his bill of lading ought to be admitted in • the
same manner as the book of the steward of a manor.
Sir JAMES MANSFIELD.—I think there is some dif-
ference between these cases. Supposing the bill of
Jading proved that these goods were put on board,
stall they might have been taken out again. There
is, however, another case long established in the Court
of Exchequer, that the entry of a modsu by a clergy.man in favour of himself, is evidence. I should like
Ito have the point considered. It is known in the
Court of Exchequer, that a parson entering tythes
which had been in favour of his predecessors, is evi-
dence.—Take a Rule to shew cause.
SCOTT V. GILMAN.

This was an application to set aside the nonsuin
and enter a verdict for the plaintiff. It was an action
on a bill of exchange for ten guineas. It appeared that
the bill had been given in satisfaction of spirituous
liquors delivered, and money lent. Mr. Serjeant BEST
contended at the trial that the action could not be
sustained. The Act of the 241. h of George the Second
had precluded any person from supporting an action
for spirituous liquors delivered in small quantities, and
the bill being for spirits, it was.an illegal transaction.
The objection wasfatal, and the plaintiff was nonsuited.
It was now contended that part of the plaintiff's de.
mand being for money lent when he received the bill,
a legal consideration was given iu part, and therefore
it was admissible.
Sir JAMES MaNsFter.o—Any illegal consideration
attached to the bill must affect the whole instrument,
and I do not think you can recover in the astione,--
Rule refused.
