noble game, in his usual effective and satisfactory manner. The
betting at the commencement of, the match was four to two in

SAILING MATCH.

......
1111

The interesting match between the Don• Giovanni and Fairy
cutters, was decided on Saturday. The wager was 100 goinetet,
and boats started front Blackwad for Gravesend, about 11 o'clock
in the forenoon, having in company the Royal Sovereign Steamer,
and upon their lee a small flotilla of cutters. The Don Giovanni
got the start, and led upon an easy tack until towards Erith, when
the Fairy got to windward, arid overhauled Wei- easily, and thence
onward kept the lead, having every tack set, ..nd a strong gib sail,
sufficient to encounter a North Wester. She passed the buoys at
Gravesend first, and led on the return without the slightest press of
sail. When off Woolwich a heavy squall came on, which well nigh
had capsized the boats, but they brailed up in time to escape so
alarming an accident. The breeze freshened and blew so strong,
that even a man.ol.war's fore-sheet would scarcely hold her tackle,
Irktcb less the frail jib-sail of a fourteen ton cutter. However, the
,Fairy contrived to weather it upon a lee tack, and the poor Don
was almost blown ashore; but nevertheless. the crew kept bee
steadily qn, but always in the wake of the Fairy, which boat ar-
rived first at Blackwall, about half-past four o'clock in the aftecs
noon, and' having passed round the buoy off' the Docks, hauled up.
The Don Giovanni soon after passed, and-sailed on her larboard
tack round all the buoys, and claimed the wager, beesase the Fairy
did not perform the same distance. An appeal was made to Mr.
Ligon', the Commodore. in the steamer, and he decided that the
Fairy bad won, because the terms of the match were " round any
of the buoys at Blackwall--not round them all." A great deal of
moaty. depended upon the match. The Dou Giovanni was the
favourite at 2 to 1.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, May 24.
usit.ttoa O. ROSS.
DZYKAN stated the case. It was an action brought
by Mr. Grillion, the. proprietor of an hotel in Albemat le-
street, against Captain Ross, well known in the sporting
world as a first-rate shot, for the sum of 251. 10s.. being
tbe amount of a bill furnished for a dinner ordered on
the Ilth of June last. A. fei days before the 17th of
June last the defendant called at the plaintiff's hotel,
and gave orders to the waiter to prepare a dinner for
ten Gentlemen, to be laid out in the large drawing-
room, and to have turtle—and so particular was the
defendant respecting this latter delicacy, that he re-
quired an express agreement that, in case more Gentle-
men came, that turtle might be prepared ready, which
the waiter assured him would be the case, as they could
always borrow some from a neighbouring hotel keeper.
—Ott the 17th 'of June, however, in the place of ten
Gentlemen, only four made their appearance; and ac-
cordingly some time after, the plaintiff furnished his
bill, including turtle as if for ten, which latter charge
the defendant objected to pay, alleging that he had a
distinct understanding with the waiter at the time he
ordered the dinner, that he was only to pay for so much
turtle as might be used. The Learned Counsel ex-
pressed considerable surprise that a Gentleman of Capt.
Ross's respectability could think of resisting such a
charge, which was notorious to every Gentleman was
customary, and considering the reasonable sum required
at hotels on the same tooting with the plaintiff's. He,
therefore, would not unnecessarily delay the time of the
Court, but produce witnesses who would prove that fact.
George Hemmings proved he was head waiter at me
plaintiff's hotel in the month of June last—Capt. Ross
called about the 15th of that month, and ordered a
dinner to be prepared in the great drawing room, for
ten Gentlemen, at one guinea per head for dinner, half'
a guinea for turtle, and five shillings for dessert ; and
it they had punch k would be an additional charge of
five shillings.
Me.Thom'as Ellis, proprietor of an hotel in S. James's-
street, saw the charges made in the plaintiff's bill, and
considered them reasonable.
• Sit J. SOARLETT for the defendant, said he should be
suiry to defend an action of this sort it he did not con-
Sider that Captain Ross was justified in resisting a de.
*and which appeared to him nothing less than a gross
Mr. DaNMAN in reply observed, that however honour-
able Captain Ross might be, bis bare assertion would not
avail, in a Court of Justice, against the oath of another.
Verdict for the plaintiff... Manages, 31. Ss.
CARLEWIS V. ARNOLD.
Mr. CAMPBELL with whom was Mr. ARCHBOLD)—
ilie present action was brought to recover a stint of
1331. 15s. 3d. from the defendant, for goods sold and
alhlivered to him by the plaintiff, a respectable tailor,
titiying on business in Pall-Mall. The defendant was
Oentleman who intended to qualify himself for the
profession of the law at Gray's Inn; but prior to
that had resolved to take the sports of the coun-
try, and established himself at Marpoint,
Li:enough, in the vicinity of a celebrated hunt. He
employed the plaintiff as a tailor, and had ordered the
articles mentioned in the bill, which were all . fur-
nished to him by the plaintiff ;.and he would prove that
...thc:ilf nig!: were reasonable. The defendant had paid.
'IM. into Court; but when he should have acquired
some more knowledge of the law, he would be aware.
that it ss as not. sufficient to pay a smaller sum into
Courtin satisfaction of a greater. The defendant Isar(
been dealing with the plaintiff horn the 'ear 1824, till
January, 1828 ; for such a spate of time the supply was
by no means extravagant, and as for the charges, they
were theplaintiff's 'usual prices. He understood thar it
*as intended to set Op the minority of the defendant
in opposition to this demand; but in the fist place, the
articles were necessary; and in the next place. the de-
fendant had promised to pay after he came of age. He
himself had examined the account, and had expressed
hiniself perfectly satisfied with it. He would proceed
tocallhis witnesses, and looked to the Jury with con-
fidence for a verdict to the hill amount of his demand.

Charles Woodcock, solicitor to the trustees, stated,
that the defendant had nothing hitt two or three stares
in the Grand Junction Canal ComPany ; he had a re-
version of 3801. a year.
Mr. Casereett contended that no answer had been
gliet to the action. The articles were not unsuitable
to the defendant's degree', and at all events he promised
to pay after he became of age. There was no blaare to
be attached to Mr. Carlewis.
Lord TaNTERDEN—The Jury had the best evidence
of the time of the defendant's birth from his mother; he
would not have received the register of baptism as cii-
dence of the time of birth,for though the clergyman often
did insert the day of the birth, he had no authority to do
so. It was clear that the defendant was a minor during
all the time when these articles were furnished, except a
very few of them, and that this case was deserving of
their most serious attention. When adults entered upon
an extravagant and unsuitable course of expenditure,
the la* left them to suffer for their oWn folly; but that
law threw a protection round minors, and upon the
Iprinciple of preventing others from takirg advantage
tif their simplieitt, rendered them responsible only for
such things as were necessary and suitable to their situa-
tion, It was for the Jury to say whether such articles
as appeared in the bill were necessary for the defend-
ant, or suited to his situation as an attorney's clerk,
which the plaintiff knew him to be. Here, in the
Course of eighteen months, were three great coats, one
of which, with extra pearl buttons, was charged at
101.173.6 d. and besides these, there were nice other coats
within the same period, besides an expensive shooting
dress. He did not mean to say that the articles were
overcharged, for in the neighbourhood where the plain-
tiff resided, the prices ms4ht be very common ; but the
quesiion was, %%heater such expensive articles, and in
such profusion. were suitable to the defendant. situa-
tion, which was known to the plaintiff? It appeared
that the defendant had a reversion of three hundred
and eighty pounds a year on the death of his mother,
but hid 'next to nothitig in the tne4ntime, except.
what his friends allowed him. As to the defendant a
ipromis'ng to pay when he became of site, that was after
the action was brought; amid he had noticed that fact
When it was spoken to, he would not have suffered thew
evidence of a promise to piy to be given at all. Toe
.Jury woulS consider whether the sum of 1331. 15s. 3d.
was that which ought to be paid, or whether the 751.
paid into Coup, or some other sem less than the whole
`demand. might not be sufficient.
The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and then
found a verdict for the plaintiff, allowing him 151.•
more than had been paid into Court, or 901. in all.
