LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF RING'. BENCH, JUNE Is.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

Mr. GARILOW moved fors ruleto thew caufe why a
criminal information thould not be filed again!" 01 o
Gentlemen of the names of Cork and Upfhaw, for a
challenge to Mr. Alltew. He grounded his motion
on the following falls, as difcloied ih an affidavit of.
Mr. Atkew's, who was a fon of Sir Edward Afkew.
That Gentleman Bated, that on the zd of June he
was in the Leflure Room of St. Thomas's Hofpital
in the Borough, and was fitting at the end of the
form, having fcarcely room for himfelf. Mr. Cork
came to him and fat himfelf down on the edge of the,
form dole to him. Mr. A. told him there was no;
room there, and advifed him to go to another part
of the room Where there was a vacant place ; he did,
not itir, when Mr. A. felting himfelf upright, in or-
der to retain his feat, it necerarily thrufl Mr. Cork off,
the form, and he fell to the ground ; he role and went
to the vacant place. Mr. A. thought that the bull-
nefs would have here ended; but as he was going to
leave the room, Mr. Cork came to him, and atked
his name and addrefs, which he gave him. In
the afternoon of the fame day, the other Gentleman,
again! whom Ire moved, Mr. Upflaw, came to him
from Mr. Cork, and demanded either an apology or
a meeting. Mr. A. Paid he had done nothing wrong,
and he Ihould make no apology. Mr. Cork nest
fent him a letter, in which he called him 44 a coward,"
for refuting fatisfaetion ; and, not content with
this, he placarded printed hand bills againit the
walls, in which he accufed Mr. A. of infulting Gen-
tlemen, who were foreigners (they are, it teemed,
Americans,) and then refuted them fatisfaelion,on the
pretence of the refpeetability of his conneFtions ; for
this he proclaimed him a coward, Sec. Rule Ny

NEWCILV.

This was an aaion for an afrault committed by
running againft the plaintiff's chaife, and cutting the
traces, and reins of the harriers. To this the defen•
dant had pleaded a moll whimfical plea, that one D.
M'Kenzie, whole fon and fervant the defendant was,
had had the chaife, in which the plaintiff was riding,
Nolen from him ; that in order to know who the plain-
tiff iwasAhe gaily ran againft the chaife and that with
a knife he then held in his hand, he goad, cut one of
the traces, at which the plaintiff being greatly irri-
tated, he gest& cut the reins of the harnefs with the
aboire mentioned knife, and that all this was done to
make the plaintiff tell his name, and place of abode.
The fags producing the plea were as follow s the de-
fendant's father had had this chaife Rolm; from
him by a man of the name of Hughes, who was con•
rifted of the robbery at the Old Bailey. The plain
tiff had hired it of a Mr. Newman, a coachmaker,
and being out he met the defendant, who, recognif-
ing the chaife, stilted the plaintiff where he got that
chaife ? it was none of his property, for that he, the
defendant, had been (swindled out of it. The manner
of this inquiry difpkafcd the plaintiff, and he refufed
to.tell him who be was ; but drove on from the Edg-
ware-road to Hammerfmith. The defendant follow-
ed him; and at Hammerfmith he locked the wheels
9f hisown chaife with the one oftheplaintiff, and then
got down and cat the reins from the horfe's mouth.
For the defendant. it was proved that be repeated-
ly slated the plaintiff for his addrefs, which se refined

3UIII 21..-.1.0110 NILSON V. TUCRtt.

This cafe was mofk ingenioufly argued by Mr. Ser.
jeant S u ao, on the part of the Plaintiff, and by
Mr. Easaiss for the Defendant.

The real parties to the caufe were Lord Nelfon and
Earl St. Vincent ; and the queftion was, which of
thefe two noble and gallant Commanders was end•
tied to a certain Ihare of prize-money ?
Mr. Serjeant &aerostats obferved, that this cafe
came before their Lordlhips upon a Writ of Error
from the Court of Common Pleas, to reverie the
Njudgment of that Court, which was in favour of the
oble Earl.

This talk came on in the &ape of a fpecial verdia.
and the learned Sergeant, after Rating the faits of
the fpecial verdiet, faid, the queftion for the opinion
of the Chart would be, whether Lord St. Vincent's
tight to the prize money in queftion, continued to
that Noble Earl after the time be bad fat out on his
return to England t Whether if he had not that
right, the right to this priaemoney did not neceffa-
rily become veiled in Lord Nelfon ? The decifion of
this cafe depends merely on his Majefty's Proclama-
tion, and particularly on the 4th deuce oFit. Earl
St. Vincent being C.ommander in Chief of all hie
Majefty's fhips and yeah on the Mediterranean Re-
non, gave orders to Captain Digby to cruixt in cer-
tain latitudes within the limits of that Ration. In
confequence of thefe orders Captain Digby took the
prizes in queftion t but at the time thefe prises were
taken, Lord St. Vinceat was an his return to Eng-
land, and Lord Nelfon was the fenior Admiral on
the spot who bad the *dual command of the fleet.—.
A great deal of frets was laid upon the word " II
turning," which is ufed in his Majefty's Proclama-
tion,wMre it is Paid, " When a Commander in Chief
1 the Beet under another command, and is re-
turning home, his right to prize-money cedes." The
learned &rjeant contended, this meant a returning
home from any caufe whatever, and that therefore
I the Plantilferas entitled to the judgment of the Court.'
Mr. gamins', in the exordium to his molt admir-
able fpeech on the part of Lord at. Vincent, oblikrvA
.d, this queftion was of rest general im
and that it was fo confidered by the two oft:ions,
competitors now before the Court who' were never!
competitors before, but who had been fo often wet
bitted together to the confulion of their enemies...7l
They Were competitors, becaufe it was a cpeeiCßl
general moment to the (uric. in which they were
engaged ; he was perfuaded Lord hlelfors thought
fo—Firft, from the charaaer of his profellon
condly, from the chars ter of the man ; and thirdly,,
from the many obligations he owed to the Noble
Earl. That Lord at. Vincent thought In. hi. own,
perfonal and intimate knowledge of7trim for a great
number of years, fatisfied him. He dial nut mean
to contend, that if Lord St. Vincent was not entitled
to recover, that Captain Dishy was ; but that Lord
Nelfon was entitled to his prole money. The learned
Counfel contended that his Learned Friend's con-
flruaion of bis Majefty's ProclArnation, in applying
the word " returning" to every returning, from
whatever reefs. was &swotted. He. on toe other

'hand, ;flatted, that tole word in the Pmciamatiot
applied only to the final rewriting of any Commander
in Chief, and that it did not contemplate fuels a re•
turning as that of Lord St. Vincent, aim was the*
returning to England on account of his health, and
intended again to return. lie was not ftsperfeded in
his command, but continued to enjoy that liturtilutt
Long after there prizes were taken, and thetefore his
right to prize•money had not then ceafel
After the Learned Connie' were heard on both
fides, Lord ELLINBOROUGM obferved, that as this
care appeared to be of much importance in point of
magnitude and value, and having undergone a dif.
cuflinn in another Court, and the juOges having en-
Lertained different opinions, and it being a very irn-
Vntant matter, which would require cunfideration,
they ()Inuit' defer giving their judgment till the fuc-
ceeding term.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

Mr. ERSKINE laid he was about to apply to the
Court for a criminal information upon the affidavit of
a Gentleman who had been employed much to the
advantage of this country, in bufinefs of high and
important natures. The Gentleman he alluded to
was Mr. Wickham, and the perfon igaintl whom he
mired was a Mr. Daniel Seaton. Mr. W. made the
affidavit on the 29th of April laa, and why it was fo
long before it was ufed, the Court would fee whin he
came to relate the Eh% he was about to difcloCe....
Mr. W. !laced, that he was a truflee, together with
a Mr. Seaton Kerr, in the marriage fettlement of
Mr. W. Wyndham, who had married a daughter of
Daniel Seaton, Efq. Chief of our fettlement at Su-
rat. The affidavit then detailed the particulars of
Mr. Wickham's conflation with the Seaton family,
and (lasted, that Mrs. Seaton came to England Come
time back, when unfortunately a difpute arofe be.
tween her and her fon, the perfon againll whom he
applied. Mr. W. prevailed with Daniel Seaton, jun.
to leave his mother's houfe, and then he thought the
matter had been adjufled. On the 3d of April Lift,
he received a letter from Mr. Seaton, which Mr. Ert-
INE read. The letter was couched in a Gentle-
manly ftile, and related chiefly to family difputes I
but what the writer feemed moil to addrefs to Mr.
Wickham was, that he had been informed that by his
advice, he, the writer, had been difcarded from his
father's houfe. This advice he wifhed Mr. Wickham
to difavdw. Mr. Wickham in his anfwer declined
Rating what advice he had given, as he confidered it
had been given under the fell of confidence ; but et.
preffed his anxious wills to ferve every part of the fa.
mily. Mr. Seaton wrote again on the 3d of April,
repeating the fame topics t and Mr. Wickham again
declined giving any fpecific anfwer. In confequence
of this, he was waited upon by Major Morgan, who
brought him a challenge from Mr. Seaton. Upon
this challenge, Mr. E. Paid, he was about to have
moved hilt term ; but, as he perfonally knew, and
had known for many years, Mr. Seaton !tar. Mr.
Wickham's catruliee, he was determined to inter.
pole his good offices, through the medium of that
Gentleman, to endeavour to prevent fo difagreeable
a bufinefs from becoming public. The confequenec
was, that both Mr. Seaton and Major Morgue,
through Mr. Gibbs, their counfel, wrote an apology,
in which they admitted that they had abed wrong
and under mirapprehenfion of Mr. Wickham's con.
duff; Mr. Seaton admitting that, fo far from &fere.
ing his reproach, Mr. W. merited his thanks. The
matter might have relied here, but for the l'ubfespeent
miliondua of Mr. Seaton, by which Mr. Wickham
was put in the fame fituation as though no apology
had ever been offered. The thing that he had to
complain of was a letter written by Mr. S. hum. the
apology addreffed to Mr. Wickham, which he.would
read. The Learned Counfel accordingly read the
letter. It accufed Mr. Wickham of baring obtrud-
ed himfclf in the affairs of a private family which
had been thrown into confufiori ; that he was unfit to
manage the negotiationt ofa Rate who embroiled the
affairs of individuals; that he was liable to a civil
aftion for,the injyry he had "conimitted ; and that a
(haling &Magee would ruin his reputation, for. it
mull appear is Court that he had rdufed fatidadlion,
to a Gentleman whom he. had injured. The fait
would be detailed through the neerfpapers to all the
world. It would be rasa to critaination in Pailii-
mint ; and the King, who was the bead of all Geo-
demen, moil think fuch a man unworthy to be trolled
in any high lituation, either military or civil. The
letter went on in the fame Rhin throughout...'flHe
Court told Mr. Eames there was abandon io atUll
upon them to grant the rule AV.'
