ADMIRALTY COthet, MAY e
This day the Right Hoh, Sir WILLIAM SCOTT
ceedted to the adjudication of the following cases
Enterprize, Gray mastet—This was an action brought in the
Instarice Court, by the brig Olive'Branda, against the above ship;
for having run foul of her whilst lying at anchor, by which she re-
ceived considerable damage. The Court had the assistance of
Trinity Masters, who were of opinion, that the F.nterprize might
have steered clear of the Olive Brinch.—The Court pronounced
for damages, subject to a reference.
Forsoket, Colherg master.—This Swedish venal, laden with
deals and iron, from -Sweden to London, was captured near the
Texel.—The I -rinity Masters were of opinion, that a mistake as
to the deviation could not have happened to a person possessing
a common knowledge in navigation.—Condemned.
Charles, Taylor master.—This American vessel with colonial
produce, from America to Tonningen, was captured near Cam-
perdown.-1 he Court (concurring with the opinion of the Tri-
nity Masters, namely, that this was a hazardous navigation, and
required great personal attention) restored the ship and cargo,
sizikject to the captors expenses.
Jorige Jan, Arens master.—Ship restored, on payment of

salvage.
Golden Fleece, Thompson rnaster.—This vessel was under
American colours, laden with potash, coffee, &c. from New York
to ToLniugen.—Restored.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY n.

The Court was occupied for a considerable time
to-day with an argument on a point reserved since the
last Term. Its nature was briefly as follows :—some
time previous to the late peace with Spain, Messrs.
Gordon and Murphy freighted seven ships from Old
Spain for South America, and insured them for the
outward and homeward voyage. Four of those ships
wtititto return to-England, and three to Spain. Li-
cences to secure them against captdre were procured,
and the regular insurances made% On the voyage
homeward, one of the vessels bound to Spain was lost;
and the insurers resisted payment on the ground that
the Br Government had exceeded their powers in
granting a licence to a vessel under her peculiar cir-
cumstances. The plea was allowed, and the insurance
voided. The Insurance Company then brought
their demand for whatever of the premium was due
on the vessels which had reached their destination.
Their own plea was thrown back on them. Arbi-
trators were appointed by the' parties to ascertain
what portion of the cargo was bona Pe Spanish pro-
perty, and the claim of the insurers was now argued
to be invalid on all that portion.
Lord ELIA:NMI:COUGH was of opinion, that the re-
sistance of the merchants \oils perfectly justifiable in
such a case ; and that whereas in the present instance
the Insurance Office could not, from the inherent de-
fect of the licence, have sustained any loss by the mis-
fortune, of the voyage, it was not entitled to claim
any remuneration when that misfortune had not oc-
curred.

MARRIED.

Saturday night, about nine o'clock, the solemnization of the
nuptials between Lord James Murray, second son of the Duke of
Athol, and Lady Percy, youngest daughter of the Duke of Nor-
thumberland, took place at Northumberland-Louse. The cert..
loony was performed by the Rev. Algernon Percy, nephew to the
Duke of Northumberland, and cousin to the Bride. The Duke
of Northumberland gave away the lovely bride ; she was dressed •
in white satin and point lace; a small white feather in her lie:al.
dress, with diamond ornaments. About ten o'clock the happy
pair set off for Sion House to spend the Honey-moon. Besides
all the Northumberland family, the Duke of Athol was present.
Monday, at St. George's Church, Hanover square, by the
Lord Bishop of Clogher, the Marquis of Ely, to the H m. Miss
