OSWELL V. VIGNE.

Mr. RICHARDSON moved for a rule to shew cause
why the verdict for the pla.ntiff in this case should
not be set aside and a nonsuit entered. It was an ac-
tion upon a Policy of Insurance, in which Lord El-
lenborough had reserved the point which he had in
subsequent cases determined in favour of, viz, that the
vessel was condemned for carrying simulated papers,
there being no licence to that effect in the Policy.—
This point bad been now decided by the case of Steel
v. Lacey, in the Common Pleas, acid by that of Ho-
meyer v. Lushington, in the King's Bench, a few
days ago. In the case before the Court, Lord Et.-
LaNsumoucti said, that he had not determined his opi-
nion as to the point ; but in the case of Homeyer v.
Lushington, such a determination was acted upon.
The ATTORNETGENEHAL, who was in that case,
desired such a determination not to be understood as
acceded to on the part of his client, who would shortly
make a motion fur a new trial on the subject.—Rule
to shew cause granted.

THE KING V. BOROUGH OP PLYMOUTH.

Mr. Hotnovn mentioned to the Court, that the
case to which he alluded yesterday, as in Strange,
was in 2 Lord Raymond, 1354, Tufton, Esq. v. Ne-
i vinson, Mayor of Applehy, in Westmorland, in which
upon an issue of non furs electus on a mandamus to swear
the plaintiff to the office of Alderman of that Bo-
rough, it was objected for the defendant, that the
plaintiff ought to prove that he had received the sa-
crament within a year before his election ; the statute
of the 13 Car. I. c. 1. being express, that in that de-
fault the election is void. To this it was answered
for the plaintiff, that first, at the time of the election,
no such objection was made to him, and that was
proved by witnesses ; therefore therplaintiff could not
expect this objection would be made at the trial, and
'did not come prepared to make out that fact. It was
also said, that the Act .5 Geo. I. c. 6. for quieting
and establishing corporations, confirmed persons then
in offices, who had omitted receiving the sacrament,
as the statute of Charles directed, and discharged
them from all its forfeitures. But the whole Court
were unanimously of opinion,—first, that this case
was not within the Act of the 7 Geo. I. because the
plaintiff never was admitted into the office; and se-
, condly, that it was incumbent on the plaintiff to prove
ithat be had received the sacrament within the statute
of Charles, else his election was void : and so it was
said to have been ruled by Lord Chief Justice Parker,
'between Vavasor and Hammond : and so it was held
in the King v. Muskett ; only a difference was there
taken, that in case a member of a corporation had
been long in possession of his office, there ought to be
notice given, that this would be insisted on at the
trial ; but here the plaintiff, had never been admitted
into the office, but sued this mandamus to get himsel!
sworn in. And to this issue concerning the plaintiff's
election, the Jury, by the direction of the . Court,
found for the defendant.
In this case, Mr. Houtorn could not apply for a
peremptory mandamus, to swear Dr. Bellamy Mayor
of Plymouth, for he had never been elected. The
Learned Counsel also cited the , case of the King v.
hlunday, decided by Lord Mansfield, in Cowper, 515.
Lord ELLENBOROUOII.—AIthough Dr. Bellamy be
I not admitted Mayor, and cannbt be removed by quo
warren:lo ; yet he might be fined and punished, if it
were found he had usurped the office.
The ATTONSICZENERAL was not present yesterday
when the motion was inade. The Indemnity Act
operated upon elections ; bUt here there was no elec-
tion. The only question was, whether the electors
were not bound to see that the object of their elec-
tion was not properly qualified ? and, as in this case,
the election must be made on a particular day, by
charter, whether the votes were, in this instance, not
thrown away? The Attorney-General was aware,
they were always considered as thrown away. in ge.
neral elections, when the electors had not nctice of
the disqualifications of the candidate ; but, in this
, particular case, and when the objection was not made
Ito the candidate at the time, he thought it might be
differently held.
Lord ELLE:NBA:mot:oiI did not grant more than a
rule to shew cause.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOV. 7.

FLETCHER V. JERVIS.

In this case Mr. Serjeanr VAUGHAN applied for a
rule to shew cause why a verdict obtained for the
plaintiff, at the last Derbyshire Assizes, before Judge
Grose, should not be set aside, and a new trial gran-
ted.—A Mr. West rented some lands from Jervis ;
and a special agreement was entered into, by which
Fletcher was to succeed West as tenant to Jervis, and
a sum of money, about £9O, was accepted from
Fletcher for the rising crops. The agreement WAS
not performed. and Fletcher brought his action for
the non-performance; but was nonsuited, on the
' ground that West, and not Jervis, was the covenan-
ter. Fletcher then brought an action for the £9O
paid to Jervis, bet it was resisted, inasmuch as it
was alleged on the part of the defendant, that the
said £9O was paid back to pl.iint ff by West, upon
tho. non-performance of the agreement. On the trial
West swore that he was desired by Jervis to pay the
money ; that he went to the house of plaintiff, but
did not find him at home ; that he then said it, was
likely he sh,uld meet him on his way hack ; that he
did actually meet him on the road • that both dis-
mounted, settled the calculation of the money with a



,~ .

•
ti
c; 7 • ,
stfek on the sand ; and finally, that the money was
paid, all but one shilling, £7O in cash, and a bill for /I'.
£2O. It was remarkable, that this very £2O bill
was the same originally paid by Fletcher to Jervis, -
for West, in consideration of the agreement. It win
an acceptance of Fl-tcher's, indorsed by him and ..lso
by Elijah West. West also swcre, that b-tore he
gave beck the bill, he erased his own indo,sement.
The Jury, however, did not believe the e% idence of
West, on account of some circumstances adduced by
the plaintiff to invalidate his testimony ; and am rig
the rest, his having written a l-ter to Alai .tiff,
wherein he said that he would not go int* Derby-
shire, from Yorkshire, to give evidence on the trial,
under eight guineas. This the Jury cons,dtred as
putting a fine upon his testimony, and they not be-
lieving
him upon his oath,
.g.ive a verdict for the
plaintiff. The Le.aned Seueant said, th•it since the •
trial affidavits were c.btaisted corroborating the state.
ments of West, and alledging also that the plaintiff
had at one time acknowledged, and at another time
denied, the receiving of the £2O bill. It appeared
likewise, that the plaintiff never applied for the £9O
from the 2 tit if May tl the sth of December, 1810,
not, in .act until he had been nonsuited in his first
action. he then fore begged that the question m.ght
be farther inquired into ; and fur that purpose he
made the present application.—Rule granted.
CLAYTON Ir. DILLY.
Mr. Serjeant PELL applied for a ride to shew cause
why the verdict for the plaintiff in this case should
not be reduced from .6105 to .45.

Clayton and' Dilly were b th horse.jockies ; and
the latter had engaged the former to bet tor him at
the Epsom Raciss.,, Clayton did, accordingly, make
Itwo bets-of iiSlreach on a horse called- Pkdire ;
11which he lost, and paid to a Mr. Walker and a Mr.
Bland. Dilly refused to pay the £lOO, and the
plaintiff brought his action.
On the part of the def,ndant, it was pleaded, on
the trial, that the transaction was illegal; th ,t he
WAS not authorized by law to pay the debt ; and that
the plaintiff had paid it in his own wrong.
The Jury, however, under the direction of his
Lordship (Sir James Mansfield), returned a verdict
fur the plaintiff for the £lOO debt, and £5 more, due
on a regular transaction. Leave was at the same
time given to move in Term kr setting aside the ver-
dict; and he now moved accord,ngly.
Sir LthilltS MANSFIELD.—On what statute do you
found your application
Mr. Serjeant PELL—The 13th Ceo. 2, c. 19.
Sir JAAIIIS MANSFIELD—That statute does not bear
' you out, as it authorises stakes to be ran for at two
specified places ; and ancther provision in it allows
the same to be run for at ether places.
Mr; Serjeant Pant. then had recourse to the gene-
ral gaming statute, the 9th of Anne ; and to the 16th
Of Charles 11. chap. 7. ; the latter cf which particu-
larly applied to the present transaction.
Rule granted.

HARRYS D. IbALSTON.
Mr; Serjeaut MANLY moved to shew cause why an
attachment should not issue aga;nst the de:endant for
the sum of £175 6s. Id. ; pr why the defendant
should not pay the same sum into Court.
The defendant was plaintiff's attorney; but hehad
lately taken out a commission of bankruptcy, which
was m.w before the Chanceil.r ; and the question
was, whether defendant was to account with plain-
tiff's assignees under the commission, for the money
mentioned ? or whether, previous to an adjudication
in Chancery, he should be obliged to lodge it in
their Lordships' Court, as the property of the plain.
tiff.-- R ule granted.
HOBERT O. JACKSON.
Mr. Serjeaut SHEPHERD applied for a rule to sheio
cause why the verdict of the plaintiff in this case
should not be set aside. Oil the 6h of inne, 1807,
plaintiffeffected a policy of insurance for £lO,OOO,
for goods, being hemp, and marked R, in a ship or
ships bound frofn St. Peter sburgh to Chatham, Lon-
don, Plymouth; or any other port in Great Britain
and a warranty to sail on or bef re the 20th of Au-
gust was also granted. 1 here being a great diffe-
rence of risk between a summer and a whiter voyage,
on the Pith of October a memorandum WAS indorsed
on the policy, that the interest should be in goods on
board the Susannah and Mehncthon ; and another
memorandum was signed by the underwriter, by
which it was agreed, in consequence of four guineas
Per cent. additional premium, to withdraw the mai k
from the hemp, and also to expunge the warranty f
sailing on the 20th of August. The Learned Ser-
jeant contended, that when this memorandum was
presented to be signed, the broker knew not the situ-
ation of the ships ; that the concealment of a material
fact was made by the insurer, the ships having then,
the sth of October, gll arrived, and having gone
back to St. Petersburgh, with additional cargoes ;
and he therefore submitted, that the underwriter had
unknowingly subjected himself to a risk which he
would not have done had he been acquainted with
this material tact. Either the making of the memo-
randum was an extensioti of the former policy, or it
was a new insurance; and in either case, his objet.
tion was fatal to the validity of the instrument. If_
the former, the policy was void, because the Stamp
Act required that there should be an additional
stamp ; and if the latter, it was also void, because
the law provided that the property of the thing should .
remain the same, which in the present instance was
not the case, as the mark was taken off r n the 6th of
October, and the loss occurred in the November fol-
ios.. ing. The Act making this provision was the 35th
Geo. 111. chap. 63.—Rule granted.

Yesterday R. Rityron and J. Pollard were indicted,
the first for stealing a box of jewels, the property of
Lady El•zabeth Camebell ; and the second, for re-
ceiving she same, knowing it to have been stolen. In
September, her Ladyship was removing from Brooke-
street m Sloane-street, and part of her luggage was
taken in a hackney coach, which ltippon drove ;
and among the rest was this hs xof jewels. Her La-
dylrip's coachman put them into the hackney coach,
and when they arrived in Sloane-street, be th he and
Rippon were belied in removing them out. In a
v•eek after, the bee was missed, and a reward offered
for the discovery of the thief. W. La Roche, in the
employment of Pollard, a working kweller, in H in-
wey-yeree Osford.etreet, in whose house the other
prsoner
.lo4tef, reveal, that a short time after the
t).-,x, seas nessed, he happened to be in Pollard's par-
ker, where he was reedit* a newspaper, in which
th 'e articls s were a Iver;ised, when Mrs. Rippon came
in, and asked Pelted the price of certain precious
stones which' she described. After she was gone,
Pollard read the advertisement again, and said—" I
think they are tip stairs." A few minutes after,
Mrs. Rippon came down again, and asked what was
the value of a merquatite heart, and a blood stone
hich Pollard said were the fines! he had ever seers.
Next day, in Pollard's workshop, La Roe.e saw the
settings of several diamond rings broken up, and an
antique head cut on a stone, for a ring. W. Jones, a
.4tedei in antiques, in Castle-treet, Leicesteesquare,
produced a ring with a stone, onwhich was cut an-
Antique head, and which he had bought of Pollard
for two guineas and- a half.. ..This witness, between
therrumitersfirst and last examination at Marlborough-
sueet, had afire simile of tls.s antiqiietead made by an
Artist in Lacester.squares; which, he said, was or-
deeed by a Mr. Smith. A petwnbroker's man proved,
that Pollard had pledged several stones at their house,
which he produced ; and Isaacs, a diamond merchant,
in Heliteel-street, produced some trifling hair orna-
ments, which tie had of Pollard ; but ahhough Mr.
Isaacs admitted he had bouitht seine diamonds of
him, he could not predeve them, as they had been
put into the window, and most likely been sold. All
these art'cles were see re to by Hann eh Fatren, Lady
C.hernaid, as forming part of the arfclei in the bee
isqlich was lost Iron. tbeetwitse in Sloeseettreet.—

Mr. Ctiorroa.
Sunday morning the Parish Church of S.

crimson damask curtains. The thieves also stripoed

A SINGULAR AND arrecresoCATASTROPHE.—AIni-
OUS to ascertain the tau h of a report generally circu-
lated last week, respecting an untortunate gentleman,
who was drowned- in crossing from Cowes to Ports-
m .nth, his d s:ressed relatives set on foot an enquiry,
by which they have ascertained, from the boatman
will was picked up floating in the water, and other
evidence, th Mr. itHIN RANDAL PECKHAM, formerly
of Bedford. street, Covent-garden, was the melancholy
victim on th it ccasion. fate cf this unfott'unate
man is indeed mew extraordinary. He had left Lon-
don but a short time, on purpose to ascertain the btt-
rial-place of his brother, Mr. RICHARD PECKHANI, a
m ‘te of a ship, who was drowned iu Stoke's Bay, by
the upsetting of a boat sshich was c-inveying him to
his ship, within an hundred yards of the ident cal spot
in 'which his brother met his fate by a similar acci-
dent, and at the same hour of the night. Mr. J. R.
PECKHAM has left a wife, far advanced in pregnancy,
and seven children under fourteen years of age, to la-
ntent their loss; and, from recent failures in &tom-
mercialworld, totally unprovided for.
Tuesday eveaing a fire broke out in a house situr-
ted in Martin's-court, Bermonds y, which was inha-
bited by a poor woman, who, with an infant entrusted
to her care, had retired, to bed, when the watchman
discovered the lower part t f the house to be on fire,
and gave the alarm. The flames having already.
communicated to the staircase, the poor woman was
prevented escaping that way ; she however called to
tl.e persons Stan 3Mg below to catch the child, which
slt, threw out ofthe window. She then followed her-
self, and providentially both escaped with a few slight
bru ses. The house was consumNi.
Thursday. morning the entire roof of a house in
Charlotte-street, Portland-place, was carried by the
force rf the wind into the street. Fortunately no
per ran was passing at the time. Two young women
in the house had a narrow escape, having just quitted
one of the attics when the accident happened.
The inundation from the sea last November is sup
posed to have caused the wonderful crops of mush-
rooms which the lands near Boston, in Lincolnshire,
flooded at that time, have this year produced. It is
imagined that there ate in that neighbourhood ten
times as many mushrooms this season as any body
can recollect to have seen before.
The late rains have occasioned the spring tides in
the Thames to rise considerably higher than usual,
'and the kitchens and cellars contiguous to the river
were on Sunday and Monday laid under water. The
inhabitants of Westminster, in many instances, have
severely by the inundation.

woman were unfortunately drowned.
Some few months since, a number.of human ske-
letons, the remains of Roman soldiers, were disco-
vered en opening a b.irrow in the neighbourhood of
Beroughbridge, in Yorkshire ; hut what is most

a mixed metal Loin of the reign of Domitian, which
led a facetious rustic present to observe, that the fel-

kept such fast hold of it, for such a length of time.—
The coin was in good preservation, and probably
owed its situation to the rude relay of one of the
deceased's comrades.
