COURT OF CHANCERY. FEBRUARY 1111.
CASE Or BARELY. WARD ••F C URT•
Before the rising of his Loris!iip to-Jay, ftirt,
HORNE mide an applicatt,:a on the behalf of Mrs.
Bazely, w'►o be stated was within a tr►.,nth of btr
canfmement, and under, as naii;ht be ?•appeed, a
little more severity of indisr.sititm, from :he pecu.
liarity of ;:er case. I► reqturrd, thereCire. some al.
lowance migh& be made her, under the authority of
the Court.

His Lndship took that oppnrtuiity of stating, he
had received a letter from Mrs. B may, which !w did
not mention now from motive. of displeasure n- un-
kindness, but Iron-. a wish to have it universally unit r-
stood it was not in his power to act upon causes
made i t that Clan, upon application of the pieties
thereto, without such application was made in open
Court.

Ms. Hoawi here begged to assure his Lordship he
was no- at all aware of.such letter having been sett%
LORD ClIANCELLOA.•••••111 I readily believe' that, Mr.
Horne. I have hitherto failed in my en.leave.irs to
get this understood, is the reason I r-pi at 140 W, :all
I wish its publicity. The better way w,•aild be for
Mr. Bla •ly to come f0rw4.41 with some attid %vit. in
which he might state hi; readiness to set:le some part
of this Lady's property on herself.
Mr. liontas stated Mr. liaaely's perfect readineis
to meet the wishca .f his L'iiilship in this particular;
but at present, the papers being be-Ore the Attorney-.
General, he suppos•A, operated on Mr. B 4-hely AS to
how he was to proceed directly.
Hi, Lordship named a future day; and again ad-
vetted to the number of letters lie was daily receiving
from all parts of England, which lie said were tap
credible.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEBRUARY go.
LIVCOLN fl. LEI.:11

This was an action ag tins' the Sheriff for a false
return. The plaintiff had recovered a judgment
against a Mr. Porter, a gentleman of the LAW, re.
sident in the Temple, and sued out niferibcias 4g iinst
his goods, which was exe.uied in his Climbers ; but
while the officers were 'here, a Mr. WxiclritL, ad
Attorney, came and said, the goods had seen taken
by a former execution, and that the Siteriffi under
that execution, had sold them to a friend of r .1- plain-
tiff, who had suffered the defendant to remain in pos.
sess'on of them. He also produced a bill of .:tie
Iron the Sheriff., under the former execution. Tl:e
clerk of Mr. Coleridge, the Attorney for the plaintiff,
'.vho had accompanied the Offizer to make the levy,
objected, that the bill of sale was not formally car-
cured, as it appeared to want a seal. Mr. Wood-
' tiie replied, that the C:farnhers were full of mice,
and ttol had got at the drawer in which it was kept,
and forwant of better laud had nibbled off the seal.
The Sheriff was induced, by Mr. Woodtiffe, to give
up..thilevi 'and Man 50n7,4 Lena, for which this ac-
tion was ()fought. .For t!le .1. feadant, a prior mei,.
tion was proved, and a regular transfer by the Sher.if
under that execution, alttiough they were suffered to
tentain in the Chambers of Mr. Porter.—Verdict fur
detendant.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 29.
Pme`rnitis V. AUSTIN.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re.
cover a loss sustained by the misrepresentation of the
defendant. It appeared that Mr. Pewtress entered
into an agreement with Mr. Austin forihe purse
of a circulating library and reading room. with other
business, coned on by Me. Austin in Hackney.—
The defendant represented it to be an improving
concern, and that the suppaaed pradts were £2OO a
year. It turned out, however, that the proriLs were
nothing like that sum. It was also stated, that a
false representation had been given of the number of
books; and the lease of the ptemiaes was descriOkal to
be worth £l5O, whereas it appeared that the defen-
dant only gave Will() for it. The plaintiff gave RI 100
for the whole ; and it was contended, that he hid
been grossly deceived by the general :umlaut of. the
busiuvss, which did not produce snore than £56 in
the course of the year. Under these circumstances,
it was contended, that the plaintiff was entiard to
damages equal to his loss.
The Learned Judge was of opinion, that the De.
fendaot had misrepresented the value of the lease,
and that he was bound to pay the overcharged 450 to
the Plaintiff.

The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff for diSO
and interest, and gave die sum of £55.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
