In pity grant to me, I crave,
A shelter from the chilling wind I
Extend, kind Charity ! to save
A feeble mortal, poor and blind!
I once, My friends, sat. 'happy days, ,
With comfortaivere my table spread;
Enjtiying light's refulgent rays,
And no sad cares disturb's' my bead ! •
Hark! —oft I hear some good Minds say,
As they, in converse, pass the night;
How blest are we, who view the day,
Compar'd with him—bereft of sight ;
At morn we see the rising sun,
And glad:y speed our course away
Tn bon& st labour—which when done,
We find repose at 'close of slay.
Come, let us then, with joint accord,
Contribute each our friendly mite
To him, who wand'ting far abroad,
In need of food, in Want of sigl.t !
We shall not, from our flak store,
Want w hat we now have freely giv'n,
As Charity's—'to blind and poor,

- CEItIII7I OF KING'S /3ENCII;
nein 0. DUBOIS:
ThiS was an action upon a peolicx of itisuraiice ott a
cargo of hemp lb.t by fire ; and the defence was, that
• ?the damaged state of the hemp Was riot disclosedto the.
...witty' writer ; the defendant pretending that the anti,
vie was wet with the salt-water, and that from that
circumstance it took fire of itself. Lord ELL-expo-
Irma positively held, that the assured was not bound
to disclose to the underw'titer the condition of the
goods ; such a doctrine was never heard since the!
Lail was built; it would upset every insurance in:
England ; and in this ease, there was nothing but
vague suspicion that the cargo was wet, upon which
only a light mind could form a decision. If ths
plaintiff had been the cause of his own loss, there was
..J
no doubt that he could not recover; but the defenr
dant could not argue that the hemp was wet, that
wetness caused effervescence, and effervescence igni-
tion, by- which the cargo was lost by lire ; he eonli
not expect a Jury to follow him through all this train
of reasonion, and give him a verdict. Verdict for the
. plaintiff, --Damages £166 balance. .

This was an acti,m for a maliciout. prissecution.— ,
Thedefendant hid indicied the plaintiff at the.Sesions,
charging him with having fraudulently deceived the
defendant, and obtained money frOm him under false
pretences, by selling hint ground rents at more than
their value. The declaratiambeing informal,•the plain-
tiff would have been non-suited; but'Lord Etaituatt-
uovatiteprobated the proseeation, which was veil pro-
' pitly theisitbject Of the present action, and scouted
, the idea of indicting a mart tor obtaininwitniney un-
der false pretences upon questions of the Value of real
property. He thought that • each part fr' should sit •
down with his own costs.—Juror withdrawn. •

• This was an action by the Plaintiff, for the damage
sustained by him from the Want.of his daughter's ser-
, • vice, and there was also special darner alleged on the
head-Of medical assistance afforded to the daughter,
sit the expenee of the father, in consequence of a dls:
ea* temmunicated to her by the defendant.
The principal evidence in support of the plaintiff's
case, W'aS the daughter, a Jewess, of the ate of '2O
years. She stated that she had been courted by the
defendant, a young Jewish Attorney, who had eat ried
her to several places of public amusements He after:
wards prevailed on her to accompany him to three
several houses, which she found to have been iinpro;.'
per houses fir her to have gone to, but on the first'
occasion when any liberty was taken with her, the deal
fendant informed her she was itshis power, and must '
submit to what he desired, assairing her at the same;
time, that he should not deseit her, and that he would I
be able to protect her as he would be soon out of his
. time. She afterwards found that she was unwell, and
(hat she had been injured in her health by the defen-
dant; in consespience of which, she was attended by
a
surgeon, from whom she received medicines. Oh
her crows-examination, the witness admitted that she ,
bad formerly received presents from, aird been inti..i
tnate with another young /ran. named Nathan Levi. i
In answer ro questions put to her by his Lerdship, as
to the motives that could have induced the witness to
accompany the defendant to three different-houses,'
Aoki, she slated to be improper houses, she said the
defendant had informed her they belonged to his fa.
the; and the witness expected that they were private
houses... The defendant's father, the witness said, kept
i . the Key in Russell-street. Lord Ellenborough said, I
then how could the witness, on beirsi informed she yi ail
going to one of the defendant's father's houses, sup:
pass that she was going to any thing but a brothel ,
The plaintiff's brother proved his having employed
a surgeon to attend bis niece, and the surgeon that be,
bad attended her.
Mr. Tormu, for the defendant, agreed thatthe is-
